Subject: 5012 Carolina Beach Road – Contractor Office - 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 December 3, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.
