request is reasonable and in the public interest.
Example Motion for Approval
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with
the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are generally encouraged in the
Community Mixed Use place type to serve nearby residential development. I also find
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because the modification would expand the ability for future development on the site and the
following proposed conditions would help mitigate potential impacts on nearby residential
development:
Proposed Conditions:
1. An eight-foot-high wood screening fence, with a double row of evergreen shrubs, will be
installed along the common property line of 5301 and 5307 Castle Hayne Road with the
residential lots to the west.
2. Exterior lighting, including luminaries, shall be full cut-off fixtures that are directed downward
in compliance with Figure 5.5.4.C Full Cut-off Fixtures of the Unified Development Ordinance.
3. A 20-foot-wide public access easement shall be recorded along the frontage parallel with
Castle Hayne Road for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
4. An open porch shall be built on the eastern side of the building at 5301 Castle Hayne Road
as shown on the concept plan.
5. A minimum six-foot-tall solid privacy fence shall be installed along the eastern side of the
outdoor storage area at 5307 Castle Hayne Road. The fence or visual barrier cannot be a
chain-link fence with slats.
6. Land uses for 5301 Castle Hayne Road shall be limited to:
a. Wholesale Nursery
b. Business Service Center
c. Repair Shop
d. Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities
e. Instructional Services and Studios
f. Personal Services
g. Retail Nursery
h. Contractor Office
7. Land uses for 5307 and 5311 Castle Hayne Road shall be limited to:
a. Wholesale Nursery
b. Animal Shelter
c. Community Center
d. Food Pantry
e. Emergency Services Facility
f. Government Offices and Buildings
g. Indoor Recreation Establishment
h. Business Service Center
i. Repair Shop
j. Contractor Office
k. Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities
l. Instructional Services and Studios
m. Personal Services
n. Retail Nursery

p. Retail Sales, General
q. Boat Dealer
r. Equipment Rental and Leasing
s. Farm Implement Sales
t. Vehicle Rentals
u. Vehicle Sales
v. Vehicle Service Station, Minor
w. Warehousing
8. The project shall obtain state and county stormwater permits, to include any required downstream
analyses and the stormwater management will be designed for the 100-year storm attenuation.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
proposed uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type to
serve nearby residential development, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because while the project includes
conditions to mitigate visual and drainage impacts, the overall impact of the range of
uses will negatively affect adjacent residential development and the Castle Hayne
roundabout.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-2
district. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]

I also find RECOMMENDING [Approval/Denial] of the rezoning request is reasonable
and in the public interest because [insert reasons]
