OTHER ITEMS 1 Presenta5on of Amendments to the Planning Board Rules of Procedures Planning Board - May 7, 2026 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2026 Regular DEPARTMENT: Planning PRESENTER(S): Amy Doss, Development Review Planner CONTACT(S): Amy Doss; Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor; Rebekah Roth, Planning and Land Use Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z26-05) – Request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solu9ons, applicant, on behalf of PPC Ventures, LLC and Peggy Leonard Lewis, trustee of the Peggy Leonard Lewis Trust, property owners, to rezone approximately 1.49 acres located at 6230 Carolina Beach Road from R-15, Residen9al to a (CZD) O&I, Office and Ins9tu9onal district for the use of business service center, offices for private business and professional ac9vi9es, and other limited uses. BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to rezone a parcel of land with a structure approved as a sales office building, a permi%ed use in R-15 when associated with a specific residen*al development. However, the building has been used generally as an office for private and professional ac*vi*es a-er the sales office was no longer needed. This rezoning would bring current uses of the structure into compliance. Currently, the site has a 4,096 SF building with 22 parking spaces and exis*ng landscaping. No changes to the exis*ng approved site plan are requested, except the addi*on of up to 12 parking spaces. Under the exis*ng zoning and use, the site is es*mated to generate approximately 6 AM and 6 PM peak-hour trips. The proposed uses are projected to generate the same peak-hour trips, with no es*mated increase. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Community Mixed Use, which encourages small-scale, compact development pa%erns that support mul*ple modes of travel and serve both residents and visitors. This designa*on allows a range of uses, including office, retail, mixed use, recrea*onal, commercial, ins*tu*onal, and both mul*-family and single-family residen*al development. The proposed (CZD) O&I rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed mix of uses is in line with the recommenda*ons of the Community Mixed Use place type and the proposed development would act as an appropriate transi*on between Carolina Beach Road and exis*ng residen*al development. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 Staff’s recommenda*on is based on consistency with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and zoning and technical considera*ons. This proposal includes specific uses that will bring the property into zoning compliance and includes condi*ons intended to mi*gate the impacts on adjacent neighbors. As a result, staff recommends approval. Please refer to the Script for suggested mo9on language.

Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 2 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 3 of 13 APPLICANT’S PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL PLAN Existing Conditions Site Plan  The applicant is proposing to rezone an R-15 residential property to (CZD) O&I, Office and Institutional. The existing structure on the property was initially developed in the 1980s as a sales office for the adjacent Beau Rivage subdivision. Sales offices built to commercial construction standards are permitted in residential zoning districts when associated with a specific residential development.  After the sales office was no longer needed; however, spaces inside the building were leased to other commercial businesses without changing the zoning to a district that allowed the commercial uses. The proposed zoning is intended to bring the current uses of the property into compliance.  Currently, the site has a 4,096 SF building used as a professional office space for a variety of different businesses, with 22 parking spaces and existing landscaping.  The applicant is proposing no changes to the previously approved site plan, except for the addition of up to 12 more parking spaces. Although not required, the additional parking spaces shown on the site plan will allow for flexibility for additional parking if it is needed in the future. Existing 4,096 SF Building Proposed parking Existing parking Existing parking Preserved Vegetation Existing parking Preserved Vegetation Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 3 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 4 of 13  Under the proposed (CZD) O&I zoning district, a condition has been proposed limiting the site to the following uses: o Medical & Dental Clinic, o Nursing & Rehab Center, o Veterinary Service, o Business Service Center, o Offices for Private & Professional Activities, o Instructional Services & Studios, and o Personal Services.  There are several documented and significant live oaks along Carolina Beach Road and throughout the site. A condition has been including guaranteeing the preservation of all existing trees shown on the landscaped areas of the concept plan.  The applicant has offered a condition guaranteeing a minimum 20-foot-wide public access easement along Carolina Beach Road for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.  Ingress and egress from Beau Rivage onto Carolina Beach Road will remain the same. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS  The R-15 district in this area was established in 1971. At the time, the purpose of the R-15 district was to ensure housing served by private septic and wells would be developed at low densities.  Since that time, the Carolina Beach Road corridor, from the Monkey Junction growth node to Halyburton Parkway, has evolved into an area characterized by higher-density residential and mixed commercial development.  The purpose of the Office and Institutional (O&I) District is to provide lands that accommodate institutional, professional office, and other compatible uses. The O&I district should be located in areas with more intense uses and higher density development patterns to support economic clusters in appropriate locations.  Although the property remains zoned R-15, it has operated as a professional office since 1987. The proposed rezoning would bring the site into conformity with its longstanding use while limiting future uses to those approved through the conditional process. Aside from the use itself, the site complies with applicable development standards.  Under current zoning, the property could revert to a residential use or, with a special use permit, function as a bed and breakfast, an indoor or outdoor recreation establishment, a school, a nursing and rehab center, or a child care center, among other nonresidential uses.  While the site has existing drainage, impervious from any additional parking would require a stormwater permit to ensure drainage remains consistent. Engineering does not anticipate the proposed parking expansion would trigger the need for a stormwater pond. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 4 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 5 of 13  Buffering requirements will be met with a Type A opaque buffer along the northern and western property lines adjacent to residential zoning, using existing vegetation and supplemented if needed. Trees identified within the vegetation preservation area on the site plan will remain in place as conditioned.  If approved, the project would be subject to Technical Review Committee and zoning compliance review processes to ensure full compliance with all ordinance requirements and specific conditions included in the approval.

Sources Source of Trip Generation: ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Ed. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA) The estimated traffic generated from the site is under the 100 peak hour threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). SUMMARY The proposed project is located along a major arterial highway that is currently above capacity. No change to the access is being proposed. Currently there are no State Transportation Improvement Projects (STIP) identified in the immediate area to address current conditions. Several other projects are currently under review or development in the vicinity, and while their traffic impact analyses did not take this proposal into account, all were developed to account for existing conditions and general traffic growth in the area. Given that the current use and the requested use are largely the same, there is expected to be no net increase in traffic. The proposed project’s peak hour traffic is below the 100 peak hour threshold requiring a traffic impact analysis, but NCDOT will review the project through the driveway permitting process. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 7 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 8 of 13 ENVIRONMENTAL  The property is not within a Natural Heritage Area or Special Flood Hazard Area.  The property is within the Everett Creek watershed.  Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the property consist of Class I (Suitable) soils.  The existing structure is served by AQUA utilities. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS New Hanover County Strategic Plan On July 17, 2023 the Board of Commissioners adopted a new strategic plan for Fiscal Years 2024-2028. This plan focuses on three core areas: workforce and economic development, community safety and well-being, and sustainable land use and environmental stewardship. Strategic Plan Outcomes Relevant to Proposal Analysis Through planned growth and development, residents have access to their basic needs. The proposed CZD O&I rezoning will provide nearby residents with space to accommodate small businesses that support the local economy. In addition, the proposed rezoning will allow businesses that could support the surrounding community to locate in a transitional area along a major roadway corridor and in close proximity to a number of households. A business-friendly environment that promotes growth, agility, and collaboration. The plan aims to prepare for the long-term needs of businesses and to maintain new business growth within 2.5% of the state. The proposed commercial zoning district will enable new businesses. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 8 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 9 of 13 Representative Developments Representative Developments of O&I: Manassas Drive Junction Creek Drive Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 9 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 10 of 13 Existing Structure currently used as office space: 6230 Carolina Beach Road Context and Compatibility  The subject property is an existing developed site originally constructed in 1987 as the Beau Rivage sales office. Following that use, the structure transitioned to accommodate a variety of professional and commercial activities without zoning authorization. The proposed rezoning would bring the property into compliance with current zoning regulations while establishing a defined list of permitted uses.  The site has operated commercially for several years, with uses consistent with those proposed, and there is no record of complaints or documented adverse impacts on the surrounding area to date.  Retaining and adaptively reusing the existing structure would reduce potential redevelopment impacts on the surrounding area.  The proposed list of allowed uses, listed in Condition 1, would allow the existing uses on the site that serve the community to continue while limiting future development.  Existing vegetation is mature and established, providing screening and buffering from neighboring homes.  The subject property is located along a major arterial road at the front of the Beau Rivage community and away from nearby residences.  The Carolina Beach Road corridor has experienced a gradual shift from residential zoning to commercial and mixed-use development. In this context, the proposed rezoning provides an appropriate transition between the corridor and adjacent residential areas.  Surrounding land uses include a gas station to the south and quadraplexes to the west, which transition to single-family homes, and other residential development to the north. Given its location along a high-traffic corridor and adjacent commercial activity, the site is unlikely to redevelop as low-density residential. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 10 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 11 of 13 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Future Land Use Map Place Type Community Mixed Use Place Type Description Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Analysis The property is located at 6230 Carolina Beach Road. The Carolina Beach Road corridor has seen an increased interest in commercial and higher density residential development such as the Habitat Re-store and proposed residential development, Pierson’s Pointe. Just a few parcels to the north along Carolina Beach Road is the future permanent site of Biggers Market, located in front of an existing muti-family development, recently rezoned to (CZD) B-2. The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use, which promotes a mix of residential and commercial uses intended for areas of higher growth. This type of neighborhood business is proposed along a growing commercial corridor and in front of a higher density residential development. The proposed mix of uses is limited to community level services and business uses in closer proximity to nearby subdivisions such as Beau Rivage, located in walking distance directly behind the site. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 11 Z26-05 Staff Report PB 5.7.2026 Page 12 of 13 Consistency Recommendation The proposed rezoning request is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed mix of uses is in line with the recommendations of the Community Mixed Use place type and the proposed development would act as an appropriate transition between Carolina Beach Road and existing residential development. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff’s recommendation is based on the policy guidance of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning considerations, and technical review. This portion of the Carolina Beach Road corridor has been designated as Community Mixed Use. The plan proposes neighborhood level services that can reduce the need for additional longer trips on Carolina Beach Road and serve as an appropriate transition between the highway corridor and neighboring residential development. Approval of the rezoning will bring the site’s current uses into compliance. As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggests the following motion: I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed mix of uses is in line with the recommendations of the Community Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site has been used for similar uses since originally established. Recommended Conditions: 1. Permitted uses are limited to: A. Medical & Dental Clinic, B. Nursing & Rehab Center, C. Veterinary Service, D. Business Service Center, E. Offices for Private & Professional Activities, F. Instructional Services & Studios, G. Personal Services 2. All existing trees located with the vegetative bubbles on the site plan shall remain. 3. A minimum 20-foot-wide public access easement shall be dedicated along the road frontage parallel to Carolina Beach Road for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

PPC Ventures, L.L.C. is the owners of the subject property. The approximately 1.5-acre tract is currently zoned Residential (R-15). The offices were originally built as the sales center for the Beau Rivage development. The proposed rezone would be for a Conditional – Office & Institutional District (CZD/O&I), to bring the professional office use into current conformity with the Unified Development Ordinance. The building will remain, with no expansion is proposed, but some additional parking spaces are planned. A site layout is attached. Your property is located in the proximity, within a 500’ perimeter of the lot boundary. The meeting is an opportunity for further explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. A Conditional Zoning District in New Hanover County allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project & rezoning petition. Essentially, this means that only the specific use(s) and the proposed site improvements of an approved petition can be developed. The meeting will be held on Monday, March 30th, 6:00 p.m., in there in the office building at 6230 Carolina Beach Road. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at telephone # 910-620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the process and believe that this project will be a good addition of services for the area.

PB Meeting - Z26-05 – Beau Rivage Sales Office What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I respectfully submit this comment in opposition to Item 2, Rezoning Request (Z26-05) concerning the property located at 6230 Carolina Beach Road. The proposed change from R-15 Residential to Conditional Zoning District (CZD) Office and Institutional represents a significant departure from the established residential character of the surrounding area. The introduction of business service centers, private offices, and related uses is not consistent with Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 11 - 1 the existing development pattern and raises legitimate concerns regarding land use compatibility. In particular, the proposed rezoning has the potential to increase traffic volumes, intensify daily activity, and introduce noise and operational impacts that are not typical of a residential district. Carolina Beach Road already serves as a major thoroughfare, and additional commercial activity at this location may further strain transportation capacity and adversely affect public safety for nearby residents. Moreover, approval of this request may establish a precedent for incremental encroachment of non-residential uses into adjacent residential areas, thereby undermining long-term planning objectives and the stability of the neighborhood. Preserving the integrity of established zoning districts is essential to maintaining community expectations and protecting the character of residential areas. While responsible growth and development are important, such changes should be carefully aligned with adopted plans and the surrounding land use context. In this instance, retaining the current residential zoning designation is more consistent with those principles. For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Board to deny the requested rezoning.

Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 1 - 11 - 2 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2026 Regular DEPARTMENT: Planning PRESENTER(S): Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor CONTACT(S): Robert Farrell; Rebekah Roth, Planning and Land Use Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z26-04) - Request by 7650 Market Street, LLC, applicant and property owner, to rezone the approximately 1.14 acres located at 7650 Market Street from a B-2, Regional Business District to a (CZD) B-2 condi@onal district and to remove the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) for an exis@ng convenience store with fuel sta@ons. BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is reques!ng to remove the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) to keep an exis!ng sign that was constructed out of compliance with SHOD specific sign standards on an exis!ng commercial site. The SHOD imposes addi!onal requirements related to freestanding signs, setbacks, outdoor storage, parking and loading area loca!on and buffering, and lot coverage. If the SHOD were removed, the exis!ng sign would comply with the general sign standards of the UDO. While no changes are proposed to the exis!ng development on the site, the request includes the condi!onal rezoning of the underlying parcel, and the applicant has included condi!ons to preserve the SHOD-specific requirements and a path for the sign to come into compliance in the future. Following discovery of the permi0ng error that led to the noncompliant sign and an unsuccessful variance request to the Board of Adjustment, the property owner and County entered into an agreement in 2024 allowing the exis!ng sign to remain temporarily in acknowledgement of the property owner's investment. This agreement included provisions outlining that the sign would be removed, replaced, or modified to comply with the UDO within two years. An applica!on for a straight rezoning was filed before the agreement expired in February 2026. Following feedback from staff, the applicant withdrew the request and resubmi:ed the condi!onal rezoning applica!on under considera!on. The B-2 district was applied to this sec!on of Market Street from Bayshore Drive to the Pender County line in 1971. Its purpose is to accommodate larger-format commercial uses, including big box retail and automobile dealerships, and to ensure appropriate layout and design of auto-oriented businesses that serve pass-by traffic. The SHOD was adopted in 1986 as an overlay along designated corridors, including por!ons of I-40/North College Road, I-140, and Market Street from the Torchwood Boulevard/Bayshore Drive intersec!on north to the Pender County line. Its intent is to protect scenic character along major gateways into unincorporated New Hanover County by imposing standards that supplement or supersede base zoning requirements. Because the site is already developed as a convenience store with fuel sta!on removal of the SHOD would not affect the traffic impacts associated with the site, and staff does not an!cipate that future redevelopment would generate impacts exceeding those already mi!gated by required roadway improvements. The area is classified as Community Mixed Use by the 2016 Comprehensive Plan which focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development pa:erns that serve all modes of travel and act as an a:ractor for county residents and visitors. While the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address the SHOD, the Community Mixed Use place type was specifically applied to sec!ons of the Market Street corridor to act as an a:ractor for county residents and Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 visitors. The proposed rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because while the Special Highway Overlay District would be removed, the condi!ons of approval preserve the overlay district standards for the Market Street corridor in line with the goals of the Community Mixed Use place type and ensure future compliance with the sign standards. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff’s recommenda!on is based on the policy guidance of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan and zoning considera!ons. While staff would have preferred the site to comply with all of the current SHOD standards, if the request is approved, the condi!ons would guarantee the site will con!nue to meet the non-sign related SHOD requirements and provide a way for the site to align with the development pa:erns in that por!on of the Market Street corridor over !me. As a result, staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposal. Please refer to the Script for suggested and alterna@ve mo@on language.

This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any opponents will each be allowed 15 minutes for their presentation and an additional 5 minutes for rebuttal. 2. Conduct Hearing, as follows: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant’s and supporters’ presentation (up to 15 minutes) c. Opponent’s presentation (up to 15 minutes) d. Applicant’s and supporters’ rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) f. Staff review of any additional conditions 3. Board discussion (including discussion with legal and staff on any additional conditions) 4. Close the public hearing 5. Before we proceed with a motion and vote, I would like to invite the applicant to the podium. Based on the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like withdraw your petition, request a continuance, or proceed with a vote? 6. Vote on the application. The motion should include a statement saying how the change is, or is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest. Example Motion for Approval I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find the request to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because while the Special Highway Overlay District would be removed, the conditions of approval preserve the overlay district standards for the Market Street corridor in line with the goals of the Community Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL is reasonable and in the public interest because the second condition guarantees the opportunity for the sign to meet the corridor development patterns in the future and the existing site development has not resulted in unreasonably negative impacts on Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 1 - 1 surrounding development given the commercial nature of the Market Street corridor. Proposed Conditions: 1. The site shall comply with all Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) requirements of Section 3.5.3 except Section 3.5.3.D.6. All signage shall comply with the general sign requirements of Section 5.6, Signs of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). 2. If the existing sign is removed, damaged over 50% of its value as estimated at the time of the damage, or destroyed, any replacement freestanding sign shall meet the sign requirements of the SHOD in effect at the time of permitting. Alternative Motion for Denial I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed request to remove the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD). I find removal of the SHOD to be generally INCONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed rezoning would remove the sign standards intended to ensure Market Street acted as an attractor for county residents and visitors for a parcel designated as the Community Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because removal of the SHOD standards could allow for additional impacts to nearby residential development and may result in other similar requests for future development along the corridor. Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial: I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-2 district and the removal of the Special Highway Overlay District.

By removing the SHOD, the sign would comply with the general development standards for signs and no longer be in violation of the UDO requirements.  As part of the conditional rezoning request the applicant has proposed a condition that would require the property to continue to comply with all SHOD standards of the UDO except for the additional sign restrictions of the SHOD.  The project is not proposing any changes to the existing use, structure, or layout of the property.  The SHOD includes additional restrictions for freestanding signs, setbacks, restrictions on outdoor storage, the location and buffering of commercial parking and loading areas, and lot coverage. PROJECT HISTORY  The current development was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee in 2020, during which staff advised the applicant that the property was subject to SHOD freestanding sign standards limiting height and size. The applicant acknowledged these requirements in subsequent plan revisions. Building permits issued in 2022 referenced compliance with those standards.  In January 2023, a permit was issued for a freestanding sign that exceeded the allowable height due to staff error. The issue was identified during final inspection. After consultation SHOD Boundary SHOD Boundary SHOD Boundary 7650 Market St Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 4 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 5 of 14 with the County Attorney’s Office, the applicant was advised that the sign would need to be brought into compliance and was informed of available options, including seeking a variance.  The applicant applied for a variance, which was heard by the Board of Adjustment in May and June 2023. The Board unanimously denied the request after determining that the required findings of fact were not met, including that no unnecessary hardship specific to the property had been demonstrated, that any hardship was not self-created, and that the request was not consistent with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.  Following that decision, the developer and County reached an agreement in February 2024 allowing the existing sign to remain temporarily in acknowledgement of the property owner’s investment, with the understanding that it would be removed, replaced, or modified to comply with the Unified Development Ordinance within the agreed timeframe.  An application for a straight rezoning was filed before the agreement expired in February 2026. Following feedback from staff, the applicant withdrew the request and resubmitted the conditional rezoning application under consideration. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS  The B-2 district was established in this area when zoning was applied to the section of Market Street from Bayshore Drive to the Pender County line in 1971. The purpose of the B-2 district is to provide for the proper site layout and development of larger format or larger structure size business uses, including big box stores and automobile dealers. It is also designed to provide for the appropriate location and design of auto-oriented uses that meet the needs of the motoring public or that rely on pass-by traffic.  The SHOD was adopted as an overlay district on certain corridors beginning in 1986 with the intent to protect the natural beauty and scenic vistas along interstate highways and other specially designated roadways that serve as major access and gateways into unincorporated New Hanover County. Currently, the SHOD is along I-40/N College Road north of Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway, I-140, and Market Street from the Torchwood Boulevard/Bayshore Drive intersection north to the Pender County line. The SHOD has requirements for setbacks, outdoor storage, parking and loading, lot coverage, and signage that are in addition to or supersede the requirements of the base zoning district applied to the property.  Section 3.5.3.D.6 of the SHOD requirements states commercial development in the SHOD only allows one freestanding sign with a maximum height of six feet tall and a maximum surface area of 150 square feet.  Table 5.6.4.B of the general sign standards for areas outside the SHOD and the Carolina Beach Road corridor are based on several criteria including zoning district, street frontage, number of lanes in the street, and whether the sign is a primary or auxiliary (secondary) sign.  The table below compares the maximum allowed sign height and square footage for the SHOD, the general sign standards in the B-2 district, and the existing sign on site.

TRAFFIC GENERATION Traffic Generated by Current Development Traffic Generated by Proposed Rezoning Potential Impact of Proposed Rezoning AM Peak Hour Trips 332 332 0 PM Peak Hour Trips 278 278 0 Assumptions The site is an existing convenience store with fuel stations allowed by right in the B-2 district and no changes are proposed to the existing use of the site. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA) The property was developed as a convenience store with fuel stations in 2023. Because the site generated more than 100 peak hour trips, a TIA was required as part of the development process. Because there is an existing TIA for the site and no changes are anticipated because of the rezoning request, staff has included information about the roadway improvements installed as part of the existing development. Approval Date September 1, 2021 Constructed Improvements Market Street and Alexander Road (north) - No improvements were required. Market Street and Southbound U-Turn - No improvements were required. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 8 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 9 of 14 Market Street and Site Access A (driveway) - Construct a northbound right turn lane on Market Street with 100 feet of storage and 50 feet of taper. - Construct the site access with one ingress and one egress lane, egress is right turn only. - Provide 100 feet of internal protected stem on the westbound approach. - Provide stop control for the westbound approach. Market Street and Site Access B (secondary access) - Construct the site access with one ingress and one egress lane. Egress is right turn only. - Provide 100 feet of internal protected stem on the westbound approach. - Provide stop control for the westbound approach. SUMMARY The proposed project is located along a principal arterial highway that is currently above capacity south of the project area; however, the project involves an existing commercial site that NCDOT confirmed has installed the improvements required by the TIA to mitigate traffic generated from the site. Given how recently the site was developed staff does not anticipate any changes to the use of the site in the next few years. ENVIRONMENTAL  This site is not within a Natural Heritage Area or Special Flood Hazard Area.  The New Hanover County Conservation Resources map does not indicate any conservation resources on the property.  The property is within the Pages Creek watershed.  Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the property consist of Class III (severe limitation) soils however the existing development is currently served by CFPUA public water and sewer. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 9 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 10 of 14 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS New Hanover County Strategic Plan On July 17, 2023 the Board of Commissioners adopted a new strategic plan for Fiscal Years 2024-2028. This plan focuses on three core areas: workforce and economic development, community safety and well-being, and sustainable land use and environmental stewardship. Strategic Plan Outcomes Relevant to Proposal Analysis A business-friendly environment that promotes growth, agility and collaboration. The removal of the SHOD would allow an existing business to maintain an existing freestanding sign on the property. Representative Developments Existing Convenience Store with Fuel Stations Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 10 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 11 of 14 7650 Market Street Existing Sign 7650 Market Street Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 11 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 12 of 14 Context and Compatibility  The project is an existing site approved and developed in 2023 under the SHOD standards approximately one-half mile north of where the SHOD begins on Market Street. If the rezoning were approved, all SHOD standards except the size limits for the current freestanding sign would still apply to the site, no other immediate changes are anticipated from this request. The county has previously approved conditional rezonings that removed SHOD standards that included conditions preserving applicable corridor protections related to setbacks, outdoor storage, parking and loading, and lot coverage. or establishing alternative measures to mitigate potential development impacts.  The second condition would also guarantee that any future signs on the property would comply with the SHOD standards in effect at the time a new sign was installed.  The site is adjacent to existing residential development to the east. Although the SHOD is primarily intended to protect the roadway corridor, its additional requirements can also help reduce visual impacts on adjacent properties. By incorporating the SHOD-related protections as a condition of approval the removal of the overlay would avoid adverse impacts to the corridor or surrounding parcels.  While the 2016 Comprehensive Plan recommends a mixture of commercial and residential uses, over the past two years as staff has worked on the Destination 2050 Comprehensive Plan update, the vision for the main corridors through the county has shifted to discouraging higher density residential projects to protect the character of adjacent existing neighborhoods and in recognition of limited roadway connectivity. In the draft plan, commercial development is encouraged along this corridor to provide basic goods and services to existing residents. 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 12 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 13 of 14 Future Land Use Map Place Type Community Mixed Use Place Type Description Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Analysis The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Community Mixed Use, a classification intended to support commercial development that serves nearby residential neighborhoods. The property is situated along the Market Street corridor, approximately one-half mile north of the point where the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) begins. Although the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address the SHOD, the Community Mixed Use designation was applied to segments of the corridor to attract both residents and visitors. The site is also in proximity to established residential development. While the SHOD is primarily intended to preserve the character of the roadway corridor, its standards can also help minimize visual impacts on adjacent properties. The property currently complies with SHOD standards, and no immediate site changes are proposed as part of the rezoning request. Including SHOD standards as a condition of approval ensures that future development remains consistent with the existing character of this portion of the Market Street corridor, while an additional condition provides a mechanism for the site to achieve full SHOD compliance over time. Consistency Recommendation The proposed rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because while the Special Highway Overlay District would be removed, the conditions of approval preserve the overlay district standards for the Market Street corridor in line with the goals of the Community Mixed Use place type and ensure future compliance with the sign standards. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 2 - 13 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 14 of 14 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff’s recommendation is based on the policy guidance of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan and zoning considerations. While staff would have preferred the site to comply with all of the current SHOD standards in accordance with the agreement established between the County and property owner in 2024, if the request is approved, the conditions would guarantee the site will continue to meet the non-sign related SHOD requirements and provide a way for the site to align with the development patterns in that portion of the Market Street corridor over time. As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggests the following motion: I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find the request to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because while the Special Highway Overlay District would be removed, the conditions of approval preserve the overlay district standards for the Market Street corridor in line with the goals of the Community Mixed Use place type and ensure future compliance with the sign standards. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL is reasonable and in the public interest because the second condition guarantees the opportunity for the sign to meet the corridor development patterns in the future and the existing site development has not resulted in unreasonably negative impacts on surrounding development given the commercial nature of the Market Street corridor. Proposed Conditions: 1. The site shall comply with all Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) requirements of Section 3.5.3 except Section 3.5.3.D.6. All signage shall comply with the general sign requirements of Section 5.6, Signs of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). 2. If the existing sign is removed, damaged over 50% of its value as estimated at the time of the damage, or destroyed, any replacement freestanding sign shall meet the sign requirements of the SHOD in effect at the time of permitting. Alternative Motion for Denial (if based on information presented at the public hearing or other consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the Board finds denial appropriate.) I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed request to remove the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD). I find removal of the SHOD to be generally INCONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed rezoning would remove the sign standards intended to ensure Market Street acted as an attractor for county residents and visitors for a parcel designated as the Community Mixed Use place type. I also find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because removal of the SHOD standards could allow for additional impacts to nearby residential development and may result in other similar requests for future development along the corridor.

Oppose project Public Comment The Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) was established to ensure consistent aesthetic standards along the Market Street corridor. These standards should be applied equitably to all property owners. We are currently developing a convenience store directly across the street from this site. When we proposed a similar 25 foot sign, County Staff strictly enforced the SHOD requirements and limited our sign height to 6 feet. We complied with those Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 10 - 2 2 standards with the understanding that they would be applied uniformly across the corridor. Approving a rezoning to remove the SHOD for this specific parcel penalizes those who have complied with County requirements and the long term plan for this corridor. If the Planning Department intends to change this standard, it should be addressed through a text amendment rather than a parcel specific rezoning. Otherwise, granting this exception will lead to similar requests from other property owners seeking comparable signage, including us.

M m m Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 2 - 10 - 3 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2026 Regular DEPARTMENT: Planning PRESENTER(S): Zach Dickerson, Senior Planner CONTACT(S): Zach Dickerson; Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor; Rebekah Roth, Planning & Land Use Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request - (Z26-06) - Request by Byron Melvin with WB Coastal Development, LLC, applicant, and property owner, to rezone an approximately 1.01-acre por>on of an approximately 7.11-acre parcel located at 924 N. Seabreeze Road from B-2, Regional Business to a R-15, Residen>al district. BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is reques#ng to rezone approximately 1.01 acres of a 7.11 acre parcel from B-2, Regional Business, for R-15, Residen#al. This parcel is currently split zoned. This request is for a straight rezoning, so any approval would allow for all uses outlined in the R-15 district and cannot include condi#ons. Any future development would be subject to the general development standards for the district outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The purpose of the B-2 district in the Seabreeze area was to allow for easier redevelopment of the historically commercial por#ons of the community. Due to several factors including but not limited to economic disadvantages, hurricanes, and lack of water and sewer connec#ons, those commercial developments did not materialize. This property is located in the historic Seabreeze area, some of which remains zoned B-2. The area is mostly residen#al in nature, with the excep#on of a recent commercial development at the intersec#on of Carolina Beach Road and South and North Seabreeze Roads. As currently zoned, the residen#al por#on of the property would allow up to 15 single-family homes in a performance residen#al subdivision, and poten#ally up to a 3,500 square foot commercial development. If the whole parcel were to be rezoned to R-15 Residen#al, it would permit a maximum of 18 single-family dwelling units and no commercial development. This would result in 9 fewer AM peak hour trips and 21 less PM peak hour trips compared to what could be developed on the parcel under current zoning. If developed under current zoning, the site is es#mated to generate three students. The three addi#onal dwelling units allowed if the whole site were rezoned would not significantly impact student genera#on. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Community Mixed Use, which supports up to moderate densi#es in residen#al development. The R-15, which allows a maximum of 2.5 dwelling units per acre, is compa#ble within this place type. The proposed R-15 rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the district provides uses that are in line with the recommenda#ons of the Community Mixed Use place type. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff's recommenda#on is based on policy guidance of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning considera#ons, and technical review. This rezoning request doe not represent a significant change from the development already permi@ed by-right on the property, and the exis#ng R-15 standards provide controls that are consistent with the broader Seabreeze area and applicable floodplain regula#ons. Although the County's Strategic Plan generally discourages new residen#al development in flood-prone areas, the proposed rezoning would allow a maximum of only three addi#onal dwelling units. The request would also remove split zoning from the parcel while preserving flexibility for future site design. As a result, Staff recommends APPROVAL of the request. Please refer to the Script for suggested and alterna>ve mo>on language.

Seabreeze Road from B-2, Regional Business to a R-15, Residential district. 1. This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any opponents will each be allowed 15 minutes for their presentation and an additional 5 minutes for rebuttal. 2. Conduct Hearing, as follows: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant’s and supporters’ presentation (up to 15 minutes) c. Opponent’s presentation (up to 15 minutes) d. Applicant’s and supporters’ rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) f. Staff review of any additional conditions 3. Board discussion 4. Close the public hearing 5. Before we proceed with a motion and vote, I would like to invite the applicant to the podium. Based on the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like withdraw your petition, request a continuance, or proceed with a vote? 6. Vote on the application. The motion should include a statement saying how the change is, or is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning 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 purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the district would eliminate split zoning on a parcel, giving it a uniform zoning district. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 1 - 1 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 it provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type, I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the County’s goal to limit residential development in flood prone areas.

Private wells and septic systems could be developed on the site, but this would be difficult given the site conditions per New Hanover County Environmental Health. Fire Protection New Hanover County Fire Services, New Hanover County Southern Fire District, New Hanover County Federal Point Station Schools Anderson Elementary, Murray Middle, Ashley High Schools Recreation Veterans Park, Carolina Beach State Park CONSERVATION, HISTORIC, & ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES Conservation Approximately 3.36 acres of the 7.11 acres are classified as Pocosin Conservation Resource; however, the New Hanover County Soils map does not indicate any Class IV soils on the site. Because the Pocosin is not underlaid with Class IV soils, Conservation Resource standards do not apply on this site. Historic While undeveloped, the parcels are located within the historic Seabreeze neighborhood. Established in the mid-1920’s, the area was a prime vacation resort for Black Americans within southeastern North Carolina from the 1930’s through the 1950’s before a decline stemming from Hurricane Hazel in 1954, financial trouble, and the end of segregation in the 1960’s. Archaeological No known archaeological resources Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 2 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 3 of 15 APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL Existing Zoning Map • The parcel is split zoned, with 6.10 acres of R-15 and 1.01 acres of B-2. The applicant is requesting to rezone the B-2 portion to R-15. The applicant has not requested any change to the existing R-15 portion of the site. • According to the applicant, the requested R-15 zoning district would allow for consistent zoning on the site and reduce fragmented land-use patterns, which are not uncommon in the Seabreeze area. • This request is for a straight rezoning, so any approval would allow for all uses outlined for the requested district and could not include conditions. Any future development would be subject to the general development standards for the district outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). R-15 to remain Total parcel B-2 portion requested for rezoning to R-15 Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 3 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 4 of 15 ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • The R-15 district in this area was established in 1971. At the time, the purpose of the R-15 district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and well would be developed at low densities. Since that time, private water and sewer services have become available to the surrounding area. • The B-2 district in the Seabreeze area was also established in 1971. At the time, the purpose of the B-2 district was to allow for easier redevelopment of the historically commercial portions of the Seabreeze community. Due to several factors including but not limited to economic disadvantages, hurricanes, and lack of water and sewer connections, those commercial developments did not materialize. The area has largely developed residentially over the past 50 years. • The B-2 portion of the site would allow a potentially 3,500 sq ft commercial enterprise, with several uses allowed by right in the B-2 district. While the full list of uses allowed in the B-2 district is attached, typical uses allowed by right in the district include: o Bank or Financial Institution o Restaurant o Offices o Food Market o Pharmacy o Retail o Gym/Fitness and Recreation • As currently zoned, the subject site’s R-15 portion would allow 15 single-family dwellings in a performance residential subdivision, with a maximum density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre. • If the whole site was zoned R-15, it would allow a maximum of 18 dwelling units under a performance residential subdivision, three more than currently allowed. • A performance residential development in the R-15 district would require a 20-foot perimeter setback around the development. • The B-2 district requires additional setbacks and landscaping requirements where it abuts residentially zoned properties. Given the size of the B-2 district and the setback requirements adjacent to residential zoning, the site would be less likely to be developed for a use that would involve a commercial structure. • If approved, any future project would be subject to Technical Review Committee and zoning compliance review processes to ensure full compliance with all ordinance requirements.

PROPOSED ACCESS Primary Access This site has direct full access on North and South Seabreeze Road. Because this is a straight rezoning future site access would be reviewed by the County’s TRC and NCDOT.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA) Traffic Impact Analyses are not required for straight rezonings. As it is currently zoned, it is unlikely that a commercial development would trigger a TIA unless it is a high intensity use like a fast-food restaurant. Under the proposed rezoning, the site could only support a maximum of 18 homes which would not generate sufficient traffic to trigger a TIA. SUMMARY The proposed rezoning is located along Seabreeze Road, a local road that currently has available capacity. Carolina Beach Road, a major arterial highway connecting to Seabreeze, is over capacity. Although no STIP projects are planned for this area, the proposed development would reduce potential traffic compared to what could be developed under existing zoning, resulting in minimal impact on current traffic conditions. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 7 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 8 of 15 ENVIRONMENTAL Floodplain Map • The majority of the site is within the AE floodplain, which requires additional development standards as prescribed in the UDO. • The UDO restricts performance residential subdivisions within the AE floodplain to a maximum density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre, regardless of the underlying zoning district. Because the R-15 district allows the same maximum density, the floodplain designation would not reduce the site’s overall allowable density or overall unit count compared to a similarly sized property located outside the floodplain. • This site is not within a Natural Heritage Area. • The property is within Watershed 14 which drains to the Intracoastal Waterway. • Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the property consist of Class I (slight limitation) & Class III (severe limitation) soils. • Conservation resource maps indicate pocosin wetlands exist on the property. However, there are no Class IV soils on the site, thus Conservation Resource Standards do not apply. • Environmental Health reviewed the rezoning application and advised the area is very limited for subsurface wastewater disposal and septic systems. • AQUA private water and sewer services extend along S Seabreeze Road, which borders this parcel. However, because this is both a straight rezoning and the utilities are private, the County cannot require connection as part of this rezoning. The applicant has stated that they intend to connect new development into this system. If the applicant is unable to connect to Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 8 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 9 of 15 AQUA utilities, Environmental Health has recommended that the applicant discuss the site with a private environmental consultant before moving forward with the development.

This plan focuses on three core areas: workforce and economic development, community safety and well-being, and sustainable land use and environmental stewardship. Strategic Plan Outcomes Relevant to Proposal Analysis Through planned growth and development, residents have access to their basic needs. The strategic objective to achieve this desired outcome includes the provision of a variety of housing options. While the proposed R-15 rezoning does not provide for a variety of housing types, it can aid in achieving the target of increasing the housing supply to a level of one residential unit per every two residents. Natural areas and critical environmental features are enhanced and protected. One of the County’s goals is to reduce the number of new residential lots created in flood hazard areas within the unincorporated county. This proposed rezoning would create the potential for three new residential lots in the AE floodplain compared to current zoning. Students Generated by Current Zoning Students Generated by Proposed Zoning Potential Impact of Proposed Project Elementary School 1 1 +0 Middle School 1 1 +0 High School 1 1 +0 TOTAL 3 3 +0 Sources 2025-2026 NHC Student Yield Analysis based on NHCS school population and capacity numbers and NHC building permit data SUMMARY There is not a proposed project or timeline for a potential build-out of residential units on this site currently. Both the public elementary and high schools that serve this area are nearing capacity. The number of potential students that could be generated by future development are minimal and the project should have a limited impact on the area’s public schools compared to current zoning. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 10 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 11 of 15 Representative Developments Representative Development of small-scale B-2 near residential areas (Existing Zoning): Masonboro Commons Representative Residential Developments of Seabreeze: S Seabreeze Rd Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 11 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 12 of 15 Context and Compatibility • The property is located within the southern portion of the County and has frontage on both North and South Seabreeze Road, both of which connect directly to Carolina Beach Road, a principal arterial highway. • The subject parcel is located within the Seabreeze community, which served as a beach resort community for Black Americans from the 1930’s to the 1950’s. While the subject site is undeveloped, a few structures from this community remain in the general vicinity. • This area was the focus of the Seabreeze Small Area Plan, created in 1989. The recommendations for the area included a revitalization of the businesses and a redevelopment of the waterfront. The intent was to use the B-2 zoning on this property to foster business growth. However, this revitalization has not been accomplished since the adoption of the plan. • While the subject property is in the AE floodplain, development at the scale proposed in the R-15 district is in line with the restrictions placed on residential development by floodplain regulations. • There is a commercial development including a Sheetz convenience store and other proposed offices and retail businesses at the entrance of Seabreeze at the intersection of both North and South Seabreeze Road and Carolina Beach Road. This helps transition from the busy Carolina Beach Road frontage to the residential portions of Seabreeze to the East. • While there is some B-2 zoning remaining in the Seabreeze area, it has largely been developed residentially. • There have been other rezonings in the Seabreeze area over the past three years from B-2 to residential districts: Z23-24 (B-2 to CZD R-7) and Z24-21 (B-2 to R-5). • This proposal would eliminate split zoning on this parcel and allow it to be developed wholly residentially. • Due to the location of the residential zoning lines on this property and regulations for B-2 zoned properties, commercial development on this parcel would be challenging. • If this larger parcel is rezoned, there will still be two smaller B-2 zoned parcels which are owned separately and are not part of this rezoning. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 12 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 13 of 15 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Future Land Use Map Place Type Community Mixed Use Place Type Description Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 13 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 14 of 15 Analysis The mixed zoning of R-15 and B-2 was originally applied to this part of Seabreeze in 1971 to encourage light commercial development in the area with nearby housing. The Community Mixed Use Place Type was applied to this area during the development of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan to support and encourage the mix of uses envisioned in the 1989 Seabreeze Small Area Plan. The lack of private water and sewer until recently limited this development, and much of the intended commercial revitalization did not materialize. Most of the land in the immediate vicinity of the site remains zoned residentially, with pockets of B-2. There is a sizeable commercial development under construction at the intersection of Seabreeze Road and Carolina Beach Road which provides a transition from the commercial corridor to the mostly residential Seabreeze area. While this area is designated for moderate densities and mixed residential and commercial uses, the parcel in this request is within the AE floodplain, which restricts residential densities to no more than 2.5 dwelling units per acre. Generally, lower residential densities are recommended for flood prone areas in the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the number of homeowners with higher risks of flood damage. The proposed R-15 zoning district is generally low-density and is in line with the regulations imposed by floodplain development regulations. Flood proofing and engineering solutions could mitigate risks that might be associated with residential development. The B-2 and the R-15 zoning districts are generally consistent with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. The proposed R-15 rezoning would allow the parcel to have a uniform zoning district rather than a split zoning. Consistency Recommendation The proposed R-15 rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the district provides uses that are in line with the recommendations of the Community Mixed Use place type, and the R-15 zoning would remove the complications of split zoning from the parcel, placing it into a uniform zoning district. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 14 Z26-04 Staff Report PB 5-7-2026 Page 15 of 15 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff’s recommendation is based on policy guidance from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning considerations, and technical review. This rezoning request does not represent a significant change from the development already permitted by right on the property, and the existing R-15 standards provide controls that are consistent with the broader Seabreeze area and applicable floodplain regulations. Although the County’s Strategic Plan generally discourages new residential development in flood-prone areas, the proposed rezoning would allow a maximum of only three additional dwelling units. The request also removes the split zoning from the parcel while preserving flexibility for future site design. As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggests the following motion: I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the district would eliminate split zoning on a parcel, giving it a uniform zoning district. Alternative Motion for DENIAL (if based on information presented at the public hearing or other consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the Board finds denial appropriate.) 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 it provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the County’s goal to limit residential development in flood prone areas.

Johnson, Jr, and Anthony Bologna, with Williams Mullen A9orneys, represen:ng EIP Holdings IV, LLC, applicant and Southeastern Enterprises, Inc, applicant and property owner, for the use of Other Wireless Communica:on Facili:es including Wireless Support Structures and Substan:al Modifica:ons in a R-15, Residen:al district on approximately 5.95 acres located at 613 Valley Brook Road. BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant has submi ed a Special Use Permit request for a 130-foot monopole wireless tower designed to support three antennas enclosed within a canister. The Unified Development Ordinance allows wireless support structures in the R-15 district with Special Use Permit approval. A prior approval for the same 130-foot monopole tower, also with canister-enclosed antennas, was granted under Special Use Permit S21-03 in August 2021. Special Use Permit approvals expire a.er two years if no permits or substan0al work has started on the project. A one-year extension may be granted administra0vely if site condi0ons have not substan0ally changed since the original approval. Though an extension was approved in 2023, the project did not move forward, and the special use permit expired in August 2024. Following the approval of S21-03, the ordinance was amended to require camouflage for wireless towers unless the Board of Commissioners grants an exemp0on as a condi0on of approval. The current applica0on includes a proposed condi0on reques0ng such an exemp0on. This site is located on Valley Brook Road, a dead-end private road west of Carolina Beach Road between the Telfair Forest and Telfair Summit subdivisions. The tower is expected to generate fewer than five monthly trips for maintenance and does not meet the threshold for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies this property as General Residen0al. This place type focuses on lower-density housing and associated civil and commercial services. While wireless support structures and other infrastructure are common in contemporary land development pa erns, the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address their loca0on. However, the implementa0on guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan do aim to support business success, workforce development, and economic prosperity. Wireless support structures when placed to best serve the needs of surrounding residents, businesses, and ins0tu0onal uses, can help to advance those goals. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 4 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Planning staff and the Planning Board do not make recommenda0ons on special use permit requests. For the preliminary forum the Planning Board is required to hear a presenta0on from staff, the applicant, and any informa0on from the public and facilitate an open and transparent discussion of the special use permit applica0on. Ques0ons and comments related to the following topics are encouraged: - Components of the proposal that are not clear or where addi0onal informa0on is needed in order to understand the project. - Advice to the applicant on the presenta0on they will be making to the Board of Commissioners. - Advice to the par0es speaking in opposi0on on what they may want to consider when preparing for the Board of Commissioners mee0ng, and - Advice to both par0es on poten0al issues that should be addressed before the public hearing.

TRAFFIC GENERATION Traffic Generation by Present Designation* Traffic Generated by Proposed Project Potential Impact of Proposed Project AM Peak Hour Trips 13 0 -13 PM Peak Hour Trips 17 0 -17 Assumptions *Existing Conditions: Wooded parcel. Traffic Generation numbers are based on 15 single family homes in a performance residential subdivision. Proposed Use – Wireless support tower Sources Source of Trip Generation: ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th ed TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA) The site’s projected traffic does not exceed the 100 peak-hour trips that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). SUMMARY This project proposes a new wireless support tower on a residential parcel, which is accessed by the dead-end private road Valley Brook Road. Valley Brook Road is restricted to right-in, right-out access only onto Carolina Beach Road. Wireless support structures generate little to no traffic aside from occasional maintenance vehicles traveling to and from the site. This site does not meet the threshold to trigger a TIA. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 4 - 2 - 9 S26-02 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 10 of 12 ENVIRONMENTAL • Portions of the property are within the AE Special Flood Hazard Area, however the project area for the tower is not within a special flood hazard area. • The site plan indicates the project area and most of the site is in regulated wetlands. The Army Corps of Engineers stated a new verification request to use a nationwide permit is expected for the project. • The property is not within a Natural Heritage Area. • The property is within the Telfair Creek watershed. • Public water and sewer are not available in this area and the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability indicates soils on the property consist of Class IV (Unsuitable) soils; however, the site is not expected to need a well or septic system. • The New Hanover County Conservation Resources map indicates there are pocosin conservation resources underlaid by Class IV soils, however, Section 5.7.2.C.2 exempts commercial, industrial, office or institutional development involving a land disturbance of less than one acre in area from the requirements of Section 5.7, Conservation Resources. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Context and Compatibility • A special use permit for a similar wireless tower project was approved in 2021 however the developers allowed the special use permit to expire. Since then, the standards for wireless towers have been updated to require camouflage features unless they are exempted by the Board of Commissioners. • The applicant’s tree survey shows that while several significant trees in the center of the site may need to be removed for essential site improvements, the perimeter of the site will remain wooded and undisturbed. • The applicant has supplied an affidavit certifying that radio frequency emissions will comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards and a determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the facility will not be a hazard to air navigation. • The UDO requires wireless support structures in residential areas to be camouflaged through faux screening. The Board of Commissioners has the option to exempt the applicant from the camouflaging requirement. • Photos from the required balloon test simulate the tower’s anticipated visual impact. In some of the images provided in the exhibits with the application, the tower can be seen from multiple locations in nearby residential subdivisions. • Other than the applicant’s request for an exemption from the faux tree camouflage, the site complies with the requirements of the UDO as submitted and no additional changes are proposed to the site. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 4 - 2 - 10 S26-02 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 11 of 12 2016 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Future Land Use Map Place Type General Residential Place Type Description General Residential: Focuses on lower-density housing and associated civic and commercial services. Typically, housing is single-family or duplexes. Commercial uses should be limited to strategically located office and retail spaces, while recreation and school facilities are encouraged throughout. Types of uses include single-family residential, low-density multi-family, residential, light commercial, civic, and recreational. Analysis The intent of the General Residential place type is to provide lower-density housing and associated civic or commercial uses. While wireless support structures and other infrastructure are common in contemporary land development patterns, the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address their location. However, the implementation guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan do aim to support business success, workforce development, and economic prosperity. Wireless support structures when placed to best serve the needs of surrounding residents, businesses, and institutional uses, can help to advance those goals. Applicant Proposed Condition 1. As an exemption to Section 4.3.3.C.6.c.5.i of the New Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance: In lieu of a faux structure, the tower shall be a monopole and all antenna arrays on the tower shall be enclosed with a concealment shade. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 4 - 2 - 11 S26-02 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 12 of 12 PRELIMINARY FORUM The Planning Board does not make a decision or recommendation on special use permits. The board is requested to hear the presentation of staff, the applicant, and the public to facilitate an open and transparent discussion of the special use permit application. Questions and comments related to the following topics are encouraged: • Components of the proposal that are not clear or where additional information is needed to understand the project, • Advice to the applicant on the presentation they will be giving to the Board of Commissioners, • Advice to the parties speaking in opposition on what they may want to consider when preparing for the Board of Commissioners meeting, and • Advice to both parties on potential issues that should be addressed before the public hearing. Following the Preliminary Forum the special use permit will be scheduled for the June 1 Board of Commissioners meeting for a quasi-judicial hearing. There are four principal conclusions the Board of Commissioners must make when considering a special use permit request based on clear, substantial evidence presented at the hearing. • Conclusion 1: The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. • Conclusion 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. • Conclusion 3: The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a public necessity. • Conclusion 4: The Board must find that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for New Hanover County.

Kerr Avenue. BRIEF SUMMARY: Op#mist Park originally received a Special Use Permit in 1977 for a “Private Club,” which was the land use classifica#on in the ordinance at that #me. As the ordinance evolved, that use became classified as “Lodges, Fraternal and Social Organiza#ons.” The site currently contains five ac#ve baseball fields along with several suppor#ng structures, including the exis#ng clubhouse, concession stand, and restroom facili#es. Since the original approval, Op#mist Park has expanded its programming to include ac#vi#es more commonly associated with outdoor recrea#on. The proposed improvements are planned in two phases. Phase One includes construc#on of a new 18,000-square-foot clubhouse facility and a new 200-foot baseball field. The clubhouse is intended to consolidate several exis#ng on-site func#ons into a single building and will include a kitchen, office and storage space, as well as six ba7ng cages for training purposes, with a por#on of the building featuring ar#ficial turf flooring. Phase Two will involve demoli#on and removal of the exis#ng concession facili#es and clubhouse, along with upgrades to the exis#ng baseball fields. The Unified Development Ordinance allows both Lodges, Fraternal and Social Organiza#ons and Outdoor Recrea#on Establishments in the Airport Residen#al (AR) district through a Special Use Permit. Supplemental standards apply to both uses in residen#al districts, and to Outdoor Recrea#on Establishments in the O&I district, primarily addressing minimum lot size, setbacks, and related development requirements. The property has full direct access to N Kerr Avenue, which is classified as a minor arterial. The proposed use is expected to generate approximately 36 AM peak-hour trips and 97 PM peak-hour trips. Because traffic volumes remain below the 100 peak-hour threshold, a Traffic Impact Analysis is not required under the ordinance. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies this property as Community Mixed Use. The Community Mixed Use place type focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed-use development paBerns that serve all modes of travel and act as an aBractor for county residents and visitors.Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recrea#onal, commercial, ins#tu#onal, and mul#-family and single-family residen#al. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 5 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Planning staff and the Planning Board do not make recommenda#ons on special use permit requests. As this is a preliminary forum the Planning Board is required to hear the presenta#on from staff, the applicant, and the public to facilitate an open and transparent discussion of the special use permit applica#on. Ques#ons and comments related to the following topics are encouraged: -Components of the proposal that are not clear or where addi#onal infroma#on is needed in order to understand the project. -Advice to the applicant on the presenta#on they will be making to the Board of Commissioners. -Advice to the par#es speaking in opposi#on on what they may want to consider when preparing for the Board of Commissioners mee#ng, and -Advice to both par#es on poten#al issues that should be addressed before the public hearing.

Over time the name of the use evolved and today, the use is classified as “Lodges, Fraternal and Social Organizations”. • The site currently includes five operational baseball fields, with several buildings including the existing clubhouse, a concession stand, and restroom facilities. Since the initial approval in 1977, the Optimist Park has expanded their programming to some activities that are more closely associated with outdoor recreation. • The proposed changes consist of a two-phase project. The first phase is the construction of an 18,000 square foot clubhouse facility and a new 200-foot baseball field. • The clubhouse facility is intended to consolidate several of the existing activities on site into one building. As proposed, the new structure will contain a kitchen, office and storage space, as well as six batting cages for use by the club for training purposes with an artificial turf floor in a portion of the building. • The second phase of the project will consist of demolishing and removing the previous concession facilities and clubhouse and upgrading the existing fields.

In promoting the general purpose of this district, its specific intent is to: o Minimize airport hazards by limiting dense residential development. o Prohibit the development of places of assembly such as schools, hospitals, rest homes or other uses that tend to concentrate large numbers of people; o Promote the health, safety, and general welfare of County residents by preventing the establishment of hazards to airport activities by safeguarding the lives and property of both the users of the airport and nearby residents; and o Prevent destruction or impairment of the utility of the airport and the public’s investment in it • Lodges, Fraternal & Social Organizations and Outdoor Recreation Establishments are permitted in the AR, Airport Residential, district with the approval of a Special Use Permit and are subject to supplemental standards in Section 4.3.3.B and Section 4.3.4.B of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). • Lodges, Fraternal and Social Organizations are defined as an incorporated or unincorporated association for civic, social, cultural, religious, fraternal, literary, political, recreational or like activities, operated on a nonprofit basis for the benefits of its members, and certified as a non- profit organization by the Secrtary of State of the State of North Carolina. • Outdoor Recreation Establishments, as defined by the New Hanover County UDO, as uses that provide commercial recreation or amusement outdoors (except adult entertainment), including but not limited to: drive-in movie theater, amusement park or theme park, fairgrounds, miniature golf establishments, golf driving ranges, water slides, and batting cages. • The ordinance includes supplemental standards for both Lodges, Fraternal and Social Organizations and Outdoor Recreational Establishments in all residential districts, as well as the O&I district for Outdoor Recreational Establishments. o Additional standards in Section 4.3.3.B.3 for Lodges, Fraternal, and Social Organizations address minimum site size, additional setback requirements, and a provision regarding entertainment and food for members. o Additional standards in Section 4.3.4.A.5 for Outdoor Recreation Establishments address a minimum 50-foot setback for buildings, while the setback is 100 feet if the site is located in the SHOD, and sites must be accessed by a minor collector road or greater. • There is an existing landscaped buffer along the property lines adjacent to residential development. The existing buffer would be evaluated during the TRC process to determine if any supplemental plantings may be needed to ensure the buffer meets current opacity standards. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 5 - 2 - 4 S26-03 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 5 of 10 • The Optimist Club has had a longstanding shared parking agreement with the adjacent Wrightsboro Methodist Church which combined have 118 existing parking spaces. The proposed facility will expand the parking to 151 spaces that will be shared between the two uses. An updated parking agreement will be reviewed and approved through the TRC process. • If approved, the project would be subject to the Technical Review Committee and Zoning Compliance review processes to ensure full compliance with all ordinance requirements and specific conditions included in the approval. Only minor deviations from the approved conceptual plan, as defined by the UDO, would be allowed.

The traffic generated by the site is expected to increase due to the increase in facility size, however staff does not expect this to be an immediate increase. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 5 - 2 - 7 S26-03 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 8 of 10 ENVIRONMENTAL • The property is not within a Natural Heritage Area or the Special Flood Hazard Area. • The property is within the Ness South watershed. • Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the property consist of Class I and Class II soils. • The New Hanover County conservation resource map does not indicate any regulated conservation resources on site. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Context and Compatibility • The property has been in operation for over 50 years in its current format, with the parcel being zoned AR in 1974, and securing a Special Use Permit in 1977 to operate a Private Club. The property is still zoned Airport Residential today. • The property is located between Blue Clay and Castle Hayne Road, and this section of Kerr has historically consisted of a mix of commercial, industrial, civic, and residential uses among a mix of zoning districts. • The property is bordered by AR, Airport Residential, zoning to the South and West, along with Airport Commerce and B-1 and B-2 Business districts, there is R-20 residential zoning to the North, with I-2 Heavy Industry in the Northeast corner, as well as AC, Airport Commerce, to the Southeast where Blue Clay Auto operates out of 3134 N Kerr, and Flora Landscapes operates out of 3301 N Kerr. • There is single-family residential to the north, with the site helping serve as a buffer to the busy intersection to the south. • The proposed building will service youth baseball players, focusing on building and improving their skills, including six batting cages and a turf infield. • In Spring 2024, ILM International Airport initiated a voluntary 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study to assess aviation noise impacts on the surrounding community. The 18– 24 month study has released Chapter 4 (Noise Impacts), which shows a portion of the Optimist Park project area falls within the 65–70 DNL (day-night average sound level) contour, the level where FAA guidelines for land uses and acoustic treatments begin to apply. The new proposed ball field lies outside of this contour, but measures to mitigate sound may need to be incorporated into the design of the proposed new structure. As the study advances, Noise Exposure Maps will guide evaluation of potential mitigation measures for eligible noise- sensitive land uses. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 5 - 2 - 8 S26-03 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 9 of 10 2016 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Future Land Use Map Place Type Community Mixed Use Place Type Description Community Mixed Use focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed-use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Analysis The subject property has operated continuously for over 50 years as a permitted private club at its current location. The intent of the Community Mixed Use Place Type is to provide a mixed-use development pattern that serves all modes of travel and acts as an attractor. This use aligns with the Community Mixed Use place type, and the upgrades algin with the nature of the existing park and will serve to benefit the community. The site is located along the Kerr Avenue corridor, an area characterized by a longstanding mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The proposed indoor baseball training facility, including batting cages and a turf infield, is supported by existing CFPUA water and sewer infrastructure, avoids environmental constraints, and is compatible with the surrounding zoning and land use patterns. Proposed Conditions There are no applicant proposed conditions. Planning Board - May 7, 2026 ITEM: 5 - 2 - 9 S26-03 Staff Summary – Planning Board 5-7-2026 Page 10 of 10 PRELIMINARY FORUM The Planning Board does not make a decision or recommendation on special use permits. The board is requested to hear the presentation of staff, the applicant, and the public to facilitate an open and transparent discussion of the special use permit application. Questions and comments related to the following topics are encouraged: • Components of the proposal that are not clear or where additional information is needed to understand the project, • Advice to the applicant on the presentation they will be giving to the Board of Commissioners, • Advice to the parties speaking in opposition on what they may want to consider when preparing for the Board of Commissioners meeting, and • Advice to both parties on potential issues that should be addressed before the public hearing. Following the Preliminary Forum the special use permit will be scheduled for the June 1st Board of Commissioners meeting for a quasi-judicial hearing. There are four principal conclusions the Board of Commissioners must make when considering a special use permit request based on clear, substantial evidence presented at the hearing. • Conclusion 1: The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. • Conclusion 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. • Conclusion 3: The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a public necessity. • Conclusion 4: The Board must find that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for New Hanover County.
