3. Zoning Map Amendment Considerations
Requests for general rezonings do not consider a particular land use but rather all of the uses permitted in the
requested zoning district for the subject property. Rezoning requests must be consistent with the New Hanover
County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance. Zoning Map amendments reclassify
the land that is subject of the application to the requested zoning district classification(s) and subjects it to the
development regulations applicable to the district(s).
The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Zoning Map
amendment meets the following criteria. (attach additional pages if necessary)
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as
described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc.?
See Exhibit A, Attached
2. How would the requested zoning change be consistent with the property’s classification on the 2016
Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map?
See Exhibit A, Attached
