Subject: 4901 Las Tortugas Dr – Standard Technologies - 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 17, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

Compliance with local zoning requirements
1. General Comments
a. Zoned I-1.
b. As stated in the application the intended use is Other Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) does not define this use,
but the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS code 3329) defines it as:
i. As those primarily engaged in manufacturing fabricated metal products
(except forgings and stampings, cutlery and hand tools, architectural and
structural metals, boilers, tanks, shipping containers, hardware, spring and
wire products, machine shop products, turned products, screws and nuts and
bolts).
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.
d. There does not appear to be Duke Energy Transmission Lines/Easement on the
Property, please confirm.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Use requires 1.5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of building area. Project
proposes 85,000 square feet. Required parking is 85,000 / 1,000 = 85 x 1.5 = 128
required parking spaces. Plans show 128 parking spaces meaning parking
requirements have been met.
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.
4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. 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
Standard Technologies – 4901 Las Tortugas Dr – TRC Review
Page | 3
Unified Development Ordinance to include prohibiting any development of the site for
3 to 5 years.
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. Street yard landscaping does not apply to this project as the only street frontage is the
driveway which is exempt from street yard landscaping.
b. Foundation plantings are required. The foundation planting area shall be 12 percent
of the area of the first-floor building face, or building face up to 25 feet in height,
whichever is less, adjacent to the parking area or internal drive; and
c. The foundation planting area shall be planted as landscaped areas of sufficient variety,
height, and size, with plantings listed in New Hanover County Tree and Landscaping
Manual.
d. Parking lot landscaping is required.
i. A landscaped strip shall be required along any side of a parking lot abutting
another parking lot or land in a Residential zoning district.
1. The perimeter landscaping strip shall be a minimum of ten feet in
width.
2. A minimum of one evergreen or deciduous tree for every 20 linear feet
of planting strip on average, rounded to the highest whole number,
shall be planted within the planting strip.
3. When adjacent to another parking lot, the landscaping strip may be
interrupted by driveway connections between parking lots.
ii. Internal parking lot landscaping will be required, equaling 8% of the total area
to be used for parking, loading, driveways, internal drive aisles, and other
vehicular or pedestrian use.
iii. Landscaping islands, either separate from or protruding from the perimeter
landscaping strips, shall be a minimum of 12 feet in width measured from back
of curb to back of curb.
1. One planted or existing tree shall be required for every 144 square
feet, rounded to the next lowest whole number of total interior
landscaped area, with a minimum of one tree per each island.
2. At least 75% of the trees required for interior landscaping shall be a
shade/canopy species.

3. The remainder of interior landscaped area shall be covered with
appropriate mulching or vegetative groundcover, except for
designated pedestrian walkways.
4. No parking space shall be located more than 120 feet from a
landscaped island.
5. All parking spaces shall be blocked or curbed to prevent vehicles from
encroaching more than one foot into planting islands or landscaped
yards or damaging adjacent fences or screens.
e. A Type A Opaque Buffer will be required along the Eastern edge of the property where
it abuts residentially zoned properties.
i. This can be achieved by one of three options, and the minimum buffer width
shall be 50 percent of the minimum required setback as set forth in Article 3:
Zoning Districts, 20 feet, or 25 percent of the minimum structure setback for
taller structures outlined in Section 3.1.3.C, whichever is greater. This can be
achieved with existing vegetation as long as it is noted on the landscape plans.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. Please note that a lighting plan is not required for TRC approval but will be required
prior to issuance of construction plan approvals.
b. Is any lighting proposed for the site?
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. Check to see if the location of the freestanding sign is shown on the plan. If a free
standing sign is along a DOT maintained road or near an intersection with a DOT road
(including the driveway access), required DOT sight triangles must be shown on the
plan and the sign location must be outside the sight triangles.
b. For any signs on the site, a separate sign permit must be submitted and reviewed by
the county for compliance with Section 5.6 of the UDO for standards at or after the
submittal of the separate zoning compliance and construction permits for the primary
building or use.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. The New Hanover County conservation resource map indicates pocosin wetlands are
on the property; however, they are not underlaid with Class IV soils. Pocosin wetlands
require Class IV soils to trigger additional development standards.

https://www.nhcgov.com/249/Sediment-Erosion-Control.
2. The driveway culvert to the NW appears to capture offsite drainage from FAA Vortac Facility
and is routed through the SCM which isn’t required. Consideration should be given to direct
the offsite drainage away from the proposed SCM.
3. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. It is anticipated a new
high density permit will be required.
