The Technical Review Committee (TRC) is a staff-level group that reviews projects for compliance with the regulations administered by each respective review agency. The TRC meetings are considered staff meetings with applicants and are not public hearings. The TRC meeting is an opportunity for applicants to speak with county staff and any voluntarily participating state agencies about the review comments they have been provided. No voting is involved in the technical review process and no approvals or denials are made at TRC meetings. Following the TRC meeting, applicants are responsible for updating their plans to address review comments. Applicants are also responsible for coordinating with state and federal agencies for compliance with any additional requirements. Information about the projects can be found on online at the county’s Development Activity page. This meeting will be conducted remotely via teleconference. Interested parties can listen to the March 4, 2026 TRC meeting by calling 336-218-2051 and entering conference ID: 485 731 104# Agenda Items Item 1: 2830 US HWY 421 N – Warehouse – SITECN-26-000009  Request by Daniel Schor, Applicant, on behalf of Tree Line Companies, for a 50,000 sq ft building.  The site is located at 2830 US HWY 421 N and is zoned I-2.  The Landscape Architect is Benjamin Simpson with Benesch.  The case planner is Zachary Dickerson (zdickerson@nhcgov.com) The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 1 To: Daniel Schor, Vice President (Daniel.schor@treelinecompanies.com) From: Zach Dickerson, Senior Planner Date: March 4, 2026, Technical Review Committee (TRC) PID#: R04000-003-020-000 Egov# SITECN-26-000009 Subject: 2830 US Hwy 421 – The Yard Lot 4 - 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 March 4, 2026, TRC meeting. Additional comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions. The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 2 Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450 Compliance with local UDO requirements 1. General Comments a. The zoning district is I-2, Heavy Industrial. b. Thanks for showing the 50’ front building setback on this site. I’ve sent back comments about the recombination plat in a separate email thread with you. c. As stated in the application the intended use is Warehouse. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) defines the use as i. The storing of goods, wares, and merchandise within an enclosed building, whether for the owners or others. There is little on-site sales activity with the customer present. Uses include: cold storage facilities (including frozen food lockers); distribution warehouses (used primarily for temporary storage pending distribution in response to customer orders); storage warehouses (used for storage by retail stores such as furniture and appliance stores); warehouse storerooms; or similar uses. ii. When we met a few weeks ago, there was discussion about this building being used to support something with youth soccer, something to the tune of an indoor recreation facility. Is that not the case anymore? There is a 100’x100’ turf field shown on the site plan. Both indoor and outdoor recreation establishments are permitted by-right in the I-2 districts, but the site plan and application should be clear about what’s going out here. iii. The site data table on sheet C201 also lists offices as a use- please be specific about what’s going on out here. d. 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. e. It does appear that there are Electric and Gas easements on the site but the construction is outside them. Please confirm. The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 3 2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading a. The parking notes state a total of 45,000 sq ft of warehousing use, and 5,000 sq ft of office use. i. Warehousing requires 1 parking space per 1,000 sq ft. 45,000 sq ft of warehouse would require 45 parking spaces. ii. Offices for Private Business and professional activities requires 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft. 5,000 sq ft of office use would require 13 parking spaces. iii. If there is an indoor/outdoor recreation use planned on this site, that would require parking as well. That is calculated at 4 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft of activity area. The 10,000 sq ft outdoor turf area would require 40 more parking spaces. b. It appears that the parking spaces on the site are 90° parking spaces. Per UDO Table 5.1.4.B, 90° parking spaces are required to be 9’ in width and 18’ in length. Right now they are showing at 8’ in width, so this will need to be revised. c. Sites providing more than 25 parking spaces are required to provide conduit for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations. i. This is calculated at 25% of the total parking spaces required for the site, capped at a total of 15 spaces. ii. Note that you don’t need to build charging stations, just run conduit to the spaces. iii. Please refer to UDO Section 5.1.2.D for further information on EV Parking Requirements. 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. I noted the “future road” shown on the site plan. Is that planned to be carved out as a new Right-of-way?” c. Per the WMPO’s comments, this site will generate 30 AM and 32 PM peak hour trips. However, this is just based on warehousing use per the application. It looks like there may be other uses going on this site, which could affect the traffic counts. The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 4 4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention a. It’s staff’s understanding that there are no trees on the site planned for removal. Please confirm. 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. 5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering a. Street yard landscaping provided is sufficient per calculations and per landscaping plan. Thanks! b. Parking Lot Interior Landscaping looks good. a. Parking lot perimeter landscaping is only required where a parking lot abuts another parking lot or land in a residential district. That situation does not apply here, thus it is not required, but you can certainly keep what you have planned on the site. b. These trees may be used toward the 15 trees planted or retained per acre disturbed requirement, so you may want to keep at least some of them. c. Foundation plantings look good. d. Transitional landscape buffers are not required as the site is surrounded by other I-2 zoned parcels. e. Overall, the landscaping plan looks good, thanks! f. All planting materials must comply with the approved planting materials listed in the New Hanover County Tree & Landscaping Manual. The species and size must be listed in the final landscape plan indicating compliance with the manual. Or evidence the proposed plant species are acceptable from the county Agricultural Extension office. 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. Are any signs planned for Lot 4 that will be on lot 4? Or will they be out on Hwy 421? The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 5 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. Any approvals granted by the TRC for the site design is not an approval for the ultimate size or placement of the sign. 8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources a. Per New Hanover County GIS, there appears to be an area of Brackish Marsh on the site. This is noted in the below screenshot: Brackish Marsh b. While this is not on the portion of the site being developed, it is still on the parcel and needs to be accounted for. c. Field verification will be required for this Conservation Resource. d. 100% of Brackish Marsh Conservation Resource is required to be conserved on the site. This can be done in a number of ways- please refer to UDO Section 5.7.3.E, Methods of Conservation Space Preservation, for further information. e. There are also Dorovan Soils (Class IV) on the site which appear to line up pretty closely with the Brackish Marsh. The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 6 f. It’s probably best if we have a conversation about this at TRC. I’ll bring it up during the meeting so we can all talk about it. 9. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention a. Portions of this site are in the AE floodplain, but none of the buildings planned are in the floodplain. b. FRIS Panel is 3119, Base flood elevation of 9 feet. NHC Fire Services, Ray Griswold 910-798-7448 Compliance with NC Fire Code 1. Fire finals required. 2. No more C. O. 's will be issued until, the fire lines are hydro tested and flushed. Demolition is under way of some of the old buildings and have the Demo. Permits in place. The proposed new road system we will be monitoring, as they have not built at this time, but does give Fire Services good access. NHC Engineering, Galen Jamison 910-798-7072 Stormwater management and land disturbance 1. Please submit for permit revisions to County stormwater permit STMW-23-0018 and land disturbance permit LNDP-23-00035. Please digitally submit the permit applications documentation with requisite review fees to the COAST online permit portal (https://newhanovercountync-energovpub.tylerhost.net/apps/selfservice#/home) using the referenced permit numbers. 2. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. NHC Environmental Health, Dustin Fenske 910-798-6732 Septic tanks and wells 1. Site plan reflects connection to public water and sewer. Any sewer or stormwater improvements must meet setbacks to surrounding properties’ wells or septic systems. The Yard Lot 4– 2830 US Hwy 421 – TRC Review Page | 7 NHC Addressing, McCabe Watson 910-798-7068 Street naming and property address 1. Building two will need to be assigned an address. Please contact me for an address assignment following TRC approval. Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620 Public water and sewer 1. CFPUA TRC Comments provided are preliminary comments only. 2. Utility Plan Review required by CFPUA. CFPUA is moving toward becoming paperless. When ready to submit plan review package, upload all documents to https://www.cfpua.org/FormCenter/Engineering-3/Engineering-Plan-Review-103. 3. CFPUA water and sewer available. 4. Work is being done behind the CFPUA Master Meter on the private side. 5. CFPUA final inspection will be required if tying into private water and sewer. 6. Capacity is dependent on the analysis of the pipe collection system (gravity and force mains). 7. A capacity determination can be provided upon submittal of the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE Application Form and a Preliminary Plan, this determination does not guarantee capacity. 8. Capacity is issued to projects on a first come, first serve basis, when capacity is available, the plans meet Authority requirements, and the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE forms are signed by the Authority NCDOT, Nick Drees 910-343-3915 Driveway access and state road improvements 1.
