Technical Review Committee (TRC) General Information
The TRC is a staff-level group of local government officials that reviews projects for compliance with
the local regulations administered by each respective review agency. Voluntarily participating state
agencies may also provide comments. And general information and non-binding recommendations
about the site may also be provided by government agencies.
The TRC meetings are considered staff meetings and are not public hearings. The TRC meeting is an
opportunity for applicants to speak with county staff and any voluntarily participating state or federal
agencies about the review comments they have been provided.
No voting is involved in the TRC process, and no final approvals or denials are made at the TRC
meetings. Following the TRC meeting, applicants are responsible for updating their plans to address
review comments. Those revised plans need to be resubmitted to the assigned case planner. The case
planner will facilitate additional reviews until all comments have been addressed, and the necessary
departments have stated the plans comply with the applicable minimum requirements for
development.
Following any future TRC approval, the project is required to obtain additional permits to include a
zoning compliance permit for the site. Applicants are also responsible for coordinating with state and
federal agencies for compliance with any additional requirements. Any activity on the property that is
not approved as part of the TRC review and zoning compliance permit will be considered a violation
of the UDO and subject to enforcement action under Article 12 Violations and Enforcement.
The following comments have been received for the October 1, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

Subject: Kitty Hawk Road – Commercial Space, First Flight Business Park - TRC Review
Technical Review Committee (TRC) General Information
The TRC is a staff-level group of local government officials that reviews projects for compliance with
the local regulations administered by each respective review agency. Voluntarily participating state
agencies may also provide comments. And general information and non-binding recommendations
about the site may also be provided by government agencies.
The TRC meetings are considered staff meetings and are not public hearings. The TRC meeting is an
opportunity for applicants to speak with county staff and any voluntarily participating state or federal
agencies about the review comments they have been provided.
No voting is involved in the TRC process, and no final approvals or denials are made at the TRC
meetings. Following the TRC meeting, applicants are responsible for updating their plans to address
review comments. Those revised plans need to be resubmitted to the assigned case planner. The case
planner will facilitate additional reviews until all comments have been addressed, and the necessary
departments have stated the plans comply with the applicable minimum requirements for
development.
Following any future TRC approval, the project is required to obtain additional permits to include a
zoning compliance permit for the site. Applicants are also responsible for coordinating with state and
federal agencies for compliance with any additional requirements. Any activity on the property that is
not approved as part of the TRC review and zoning compliance permit will be considered a violation
of the UDO and subject to enforcement action under Article 12 Violations and Enforcement.
The following comments have been received for the October 1, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

i. This needs to be more specific than ‘commercial’- please refer to Table 4.2.1
for a list of uses.
ii. Please list all incidental or customary activities that may occur on the property
in line with and under the general definition of the requested use.
c. The Planning and Land Use Department’s review of the site is for compliance with the
UDO and use specific requirements of the specified land use. Any other activity that
might occur on the property beyond the definition above should be noted on the
application and site plan for additional review and comment.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Specific use has not been determined, therefore parking cannot be calculated. 19
spaces provided.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. Please note that no building permit for any structure shall be issued which requires
NCDOT approval for a Driveway Permit until NCDOT has issued the permit approval.
Evidence of approval shall accompany the application for building permit.
b. A TIA was approved by the WMPO on September 9, 2025. All improvements outlined
in the TIA scope are required.
4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. Prior to clearing and grading, please complete a Tree Removal Permit application form
and send it in when ready.
b. Note: Land disturbance permits can be issued by county Engineering before a Tree
Removal Permit is approved by Planning. However, any trees removed before the Tree
Removal Permit is issued may result in enforcement action under Section 5.3.2 of the
Unified Development Ordinance to include prohibiting any development of the site for
3 to 5 years.
