Subject: Pierson’s Pointe – Performance Residential Development – Preliminary Plan Approval
The preliminary plan for Pierson’s Pointe has been approved by the Technical Review Committee
(TRC). The approved plan consists of 48 row-style dwelling units on 6.2 acres of land located at 6221,
6223, 6227, and 6229 Carolina Beach Road (PID# R07900-003-010-000 & R07900-003-011-000). This
approval is valid for two years unless a building permit application for all or a portion of the project is
submitted to the County. The approved preliminary plan is enclosed.
The site was rezoned to (CZD) R-5 on April 4, 2022 under rezoning case Z22-02. The site has the
following one (1) zoning conditions:
1. The project is proposed to meet the price criteria for workforce housing in the 81-120% area
median income range as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
adjusted for household size. Restrictive covenants will be created to assure owner occupancy
and restrict invest or short term rental.
The Technical Review Committee also granted an exemption to the requirement that development in
the R-5 district have sidewalks on both sides of the street, per UDO Section 6.3.3.J.2, noting that the
site’s complicated topography limits stormwater management systems, and increasing the amount of
impervious surface on the side by adding sidewalk on both sides makes stormwater management
more difficult. The development is still providing sidewalk on one side of the street.
The TRC Commercial Preliminary Plan Approval allows the project to move forward with the next step
in the development process. The project may be subject to additional regulations of the County’s
development ordinances and applicants are responsible for obtaining all applicable permits and
approvals under any law, regulation, or requirement of any other federal, state, or local government
or regulatory agency. This includes but is not limited to:
