Conditional rezonings are intended to provide orderly transitions between different zoning districts or land uses where additional conditions and district limitations may safeguard adjacent land uses benefiting all parties and the community at large. The application must include an explanation of how the proposed Conditional Zoning district meets the following criteria. (include references and attachments to plans where applicable). 1. How would the requested change be consistent with New Hanover County's policies for growth and development, as described in the New Hanover County Comprehensive Plan or other applicable, adopted plans? The proposed financial institution at 8086 Market Street is consistent with Plan NHC 2016's goals to "Support Business Success" and "Revitalize Commercial Corridors Through Infill and Redevelopment." The plan explicitly identifies financial services organizations as key contributors to the county's economic development vision and calls for aligning zoning with appropriate business uses along established commercial corridors. This proposal does exactly that — placing a community serving use on an existing commercial corridor with infrastructure already in place. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property's classification on the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map? The Market Street corridor is consistent with the Urban Mixed Use or Community Mixed Use place type on the Future Land Use Map, both of which identify retail, commercial, and institutional uses as appropriate. A bank branch is a compatible commercial/institutional use within these classifications. The proposed 3,000 sq. ft. building on 0.96 acres is appropriately scaled for the corridor and aligns with the plan's vision for compact, service -oriented commercial development along major arterials. Page 3 Conditional Rezoning Application - Updated 03-2026 Docusign Envelope ID: 80500451 -1 EF9-82E2-813A-56A8566E9F2F 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred that may make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? Market Street has undergone substantial commercial intensification, with the Comprehensive Plan documenting traffic counts exceeding 46,000 vehicles per day along key segments. The corridor has matured into one of the county's primary commercial destinations, creating strong demand for accessible financial services in the area. A Conditional Zoning District limits development to a financial institution (or something similar) use, ensuring compatibility with the surrounding commercial character while providing the planning board appropriate oversight of the site's design and operation.
