Subject: Commercial Site Plan TRC Approval – 7-11 Convenience Store and Fuel Stations – 5675
Barbados Blvd
The subject Commercial Site Plan has been approved by the Technical Review Committee (TRC). The
site is approved for the following use defined by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO):
Convenience Store and Fuel Sales:
a. Convenience Store: A small retail self-service store selling a limited line of fast-moving
food and nonfood items, usually with extended hours of operation and usually with a
high volume of customer traffic comprised of quick transactions of a small number of
items. Includes fuel sales as an accessory use.
b. Fuel sales: A facility engaged in the storage, distribution, and retail sales of vehicle fuels
for personal vehicles, fleet vehicles, and/or trucks.
The approved plan consists of one 5,373 square foot convenience store and sixteen fuel stations on
4.4 acres of land located at 5675 Barbados Blvd (PID# R01100-008-015-000)
Landscaping Notes:
1. Due to conflicts with NCDOT’s visibility requirements in curved roads (the site’s frontage on
Barbados Blvd) , the applicant was prohibited in placing trees adjacent to the road. Per UDO Section
5.4.6.G, on a case-by-case basis, staff may approve alternate planting materials or substitutions to
street yard planting requirements where requirements would not be practical due to existing
vegetation or other unique conditions. The applicant is still supplying the required amount of trees
for the street yard along Barbados Blvd, but they are behind the stormwater pond instead of abutting
the roadway due to this requirement. This is approved by New Hanover County Planning and Land
Use Staff.

2. The original landscape plan and Tree Removal plan included the removal of a significant tree. The
plans have been slightly adjusted to accommodate the saving of that tree. Those updated plans are
attached to the signed approved site plans.
The approved site plan is attached. This approval is valid for two years unless a building permit
application or evidence of another substantial improvement for all or a portion of the project is
submitted to the County. If the TRC approval expires it will require a new application that will subject
the project to all development standards in effect at the time of the new application.
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:
• A Tree Removal Permit from New Hanover County Planning & Land Use.
• A lighting plan approved by New Hanover County Planning & Land Use meeting the
requirements of Section 5.5.
• A sign permit through COAST for any signs on site.
• New Hanover County Engineering for any required land disturbance and stormwater permits.
• CFPUA on water and sewer utility permits and approvals.
• NCDOT Driveway Permit.
• Construction permits and a Zoning Compliance permit.
Any changes to the approved plan, use, or incidental and accessory uses must be reviewed by and
receive written approval from New Hanover County Planning. Changes to the approved plan without
approval is considered a violation of the New Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance.
Violations may be subject to fines or legal action to ensure compliance with required development
standards and process.
