The following two (2) bids were received and opened via a Microsoft Teams meeting at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16, 2020: 1. Angelique Nichols boat slip at Inlet Watch Yacht Club (Slip# 105) $75,000 2. Anchors Bend Marina Group (Slip #19) $162,645 We request that the bid from Anchors Bend Marina Group be accepted for the following reasons: 1. Only floating lifts are allowed in the Inlet Watch Yacht Club. A lift to lift the vessel all of the way out of the water is needed. 2. A CAMA permit would need to be obtained in order to allow a boat lift to be installed at Inlet Watch Yacht Club. Anchors Bend Marina has the boat lift already installed. 3. Anchors Bend Marina is considerably closer to the Sheriff's Office than Inlet Watch Marina and would allow for a quicker response to emergencies and tactical operations on the coast to include the Port of Wilmington and U.S. Army's Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU). The requested boat slip could reduce current response times to maritime emergencies by half of the current response times. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve purchase.

The attached resolution details legislative priorities the board has identified to advocate for in the 2021 and 2022 sessions of the N.C. General Assembly and U.S. Congress. None of the proposed priorities is in conflict with those identified by the N.C. Association of County Commissioners or the National Association of Counties. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the resolution. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5 -0. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 4 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES RESOLUTION WHEREAS, several legislative priorities have been identified by the Board that are important to the citizens of New Hanover County; and WHEREAS, the Board will advance these legislative priorities through dialogue and, as appropriate, at the annual legislative conferences of the N.C. Association of County Commissioners ( NCACC) and National Association of Counties (NACo); and WHEREAS, none of the legislative priorities are in conflict with NCACC or NACo priorities; and WHEREAS, the Board supports direct federal aid to states, counties, and local governments to offset operational expenses and revenue losses caused by the COVID -19 pandemic. Direct, unencumbered aid with as few restrictions as possible would allow local and state governments to avoid job losses or other reductions of service; and WHEREAS, the Board supports the state identifying a recurring source of funding of at least $25 million annually for the beach nourishment fund created by the N.C. General Assembly in 2018 to support ongoing coastal storm damage reduction (CSDR) projects. New Hanover County and other coastal communities can best plan and prioritize local budget needs with dedicated, annual allocations of state support that can be used for planning, current projects, or future projects. The Board further finds that protecting coastal infrastructure provides a benefit to the entire state of North Carolina, as public or private interests from nearly every North Carolina county own coastal property. The Board further supports continued federal and state funding of pending Congressional approvals for CSDR projects for Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach, including the upcoming projects for all three beaches scheduled for 2022; and WHEREAS, the Board supports the state and federal governments establishing formal standards for perfluorinated chemicals that includes perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and establishing and enforcing health advisory standards for emerging contaminants to ensure drinking water quality; and WHEREAS, the Board supports administrative and legislative changes to federal agencies and regulations, including but not limited to, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Administration (HUD), that would accelerate the flow of aid to local governments to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. The Board finds that timely disbursement of federal aid would accelerate the recovery process, provide more rapid stabilization, and bolster future resiliency; and WHEREAS, the Board supports the state returning its film program to the robust, incentive -based guidelines that were in place before its conversion to a grant program. While the Board supports the enhancement of the grant program to receive recurring funding, the incentive -based guidelines allowed for greater reliability and a competitive advantage when trying to attract film projects that move rapidly and consider numerous locations for productions; and Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 1 WHEREAS, the Board supports a statewide school capital commitment of no less than $2 billion at the earliest possible time in accordance with state statutes. New Hanover County and its school system has identified more than $400 million of school construction needs over the next 10 years. The New Hanover County taxpayers are best served if the state authorizes a statewide school capital commitment with a fair share allocated to New Hanover County schools to aid in its real and pronounced school construction needs; and WHEREAS, the Board supports the state returning to the original education lottery formula that set aside 40 percent for capital needs. The state currently caps the amount of lottery funds that go toward the Public School Building Capital Fund at $100 million annually. Returning to the originally conceived formula would net nearly $300 million for critical school infrastructure needs; and WHEREAS, the Board supports a federally- supported expansion of Medicaid to insure those not eligible for subsidies through the federal healthcare exchange. As many as 14,500 uninsured New Hanover County residents could receive health coverage through Medicaid expansion. The Board finds that Medicaid expansion would lead to fair, equitable, and cost effective healthcare services for those whose employers do not provide health insurance; and WHEREAS, the Board supports the state reinstating its financial support for drug treatment courts. The County has operated a drug treatment court successfully since the state withdrew funding support for treatment courts in 2011 by stepping in and fully funding, at an expense of more than $1.4 million since 2011, and staffing a drug treatment and DWI court for county residents. Treatment courts are considered an extension of the judicial system and the state has the primary duty to fund the court system and its associated services; and WHEREAS, the Board supports fair and equitable funding through the N.C. Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) for infrastructure to support the County's transportation needs as it continues to rapidly grow. The Board finds that appropriate NCDOT support will help provide the necessary infrastructure to accommodate an increasing population and address the Board's priorities to encourage an increased stock of affordable and workforce housing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners considers these, among others, as important priorities for representatives at the state and federal level to address in 2021 and 2022. ADOPTED, this the 191h day of January, 2021. NEW HANOVER COUNTY Julia Olson - Boseman, Chair ATTEST: Kymberleigh G.

The policy also requires a review of the policy including exhibits at least annually or when new debt is issued. It is best practice to document policies and procedures in writing and as such, staff is requesting the adoption of this policy.

These Policies and Procedures are intended to serve as a guide for the County to facilitate compliance with its continuing disclosure obligations in accordance with the Rule. Part II. Responsibility of County Officials. Except as otherwise described herein, the County's Finance Department (the `Department') has primary responsibility for ensuring that the County complies with its outstanding continuing disclosure obligations.

Article 7 — Leave • Sections 7.4 and 7.4.1 — Sick Leave Bank — Policy: Text modifications thatDny accrued leave (excluding sick leave) may be donated to the bank by participants and that all accrued leave must be exhausted in order to receive leave from the sick leave bank. These changes align with the administration of the current policy. Table of Contents • Modified, due to the above - referenced changes. We are requesting approval of these changes for an effective date of February 1, 2021, in order to align with the effective date of the smoking and vaping rule. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve changes effective February 1, 2021. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval.

Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 6 - 1 - 1 ARTICLE 7: LEAVE POLICIES NEW HANOVER COUNTY PERSONNEL POLICIES & PROCEDURES 7.4 Sick Leave Bank - Purpose and Applicability The purpose of this policy is to provide needed additional sick leave to employees due to a personal catastrophic illness or the catastrophic illness of an immediate family member. This policy covers all regular (benefits - eligible) employees who have successfully completed the introductory period, who meet all of the eligibility criteria as described below, and who participate in the sick leave bank program by contributing the required peFsen4accrued leave (excluding sick leave ) to the bank. Participation in the sick leave bank program is voluntary. "Immediate family member" includes the employee's father, mother, wife, husband, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, mother -in -law, father -in -law, son -in -law, daughter -in -law, brother -in -law, sister -in -law, grandson, granddaughter, half- sister, half- brother, stepmother, stepfather, stepson, stepdaughter, stepsister, or stepbrother. 7.4.1 Sick Leave Bank - Policy This policy establishes a bank of available sick leave hours, voluntarily contributed to, or "deposited" by, employees on an annual basis. Eligible employees may request sick leave from this sick leave bank in certain catastrophic situations. A catastrophic situation exists when a serious health condition of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family requires the care of a physician for a prolonged period of time and forces the employee to exhaust all accrued leave. To be eligible, employees must have deposited leave to the bank during the enrollment period of the same plan year as when they request to withdraw leave; they must have exhausted all accrued peFsenal and sick leave; and they must have an approved catastrophic situation which prevents them from returning to work. Paid leave will not accrue during any full pay period an employee withdraws leave from the sick leave bank. This policy does not apply to job - related illnesses or injuries.

The Department of Transportation grant is a competitive process requiring broad -based community support and a non - airport cash contribution. Wilmington International Airport requests support from New Hanover County in the amount of $50,000 if the grant is awarded, and is also seeking support from the City of Wilmington and its private sector business partners. A financial appropriation would be included in the FY 21 -22 budget process. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve the support letter and financial pledge.

Stovall Dear Commissioners: Vice Chairman F. Spruill Thompson ILM is applying for a Small Community Air Service Development Grant (SCASDG) Secretary from the US Department of Transportation (DOT). We are requesting a letter of Julia Olson- Boseman support from you in the amount of $50,000. Nick Rhodes The goal of this Federal program is to provide financial assistance to small W. Lee Williams communities such as Wilmington. In 2014 we were awarded a similar grant for Thomas Wolfe $750,000 that helped United enter our market with flights to Chicago (ORD) and Washington - Dulles (IAD). We believe applying for this grant will improve ILM's air service development assistance package with a large portion funded through the DOT Airport Director grant. We proved the success of the SCASDG program in 2018 when United started Julie A. Wilsey, AAE flights to two destinations. One key to securing the DOT grant is securing community support in the form of cash commitments for the airline. Local contributions consist of: Non airport cash contributions from the business community Airport contributions (marketing and advertising dollars plus fee waivers Our aim is to secure another grant to focus on non -stop flights to New York (JFK), Newark (EWR), or Boston (BOS). We believe there are several airlines (American, Delta, United or Jet Blue) who could start new service to /from ILM to one of those destinations. The applications are due to DOT by January 29, 2021. We respectfully request your support letter and a commitment of $50,000 in the next budget year.

Time flies when you are busy and seeing results. It is time for our Second Annual Report to be issued. The report serves as a road map of where we have been, what we have accomplished and where we are going. The Second Annual report will be made public for our participants, families, referring providers and clinics, our sponsors and for New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. Last year was a building year on the successes we had during our first year of existence. The Second Annual Report will deal with Tides' activity from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. I am proud to say that we are delivering the care and seeing the results that we anticipated at our inception. Our graduates are achieving personal goals that they themselves never thought possible. They are employed, maintaining child custody, are in stable relationships and are leasing and buying homes. The children born to the women of Tides are showing that medication assisted treatment for opioid use means shorter hospital stays, shorter NICU stays and near zero medication for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Because we are busier and thus have greater expenses, our funding is very much critical! Thank you to The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, county officers and staff for continuing to support Tides. This fiscal year will require us to seek additional funding to supplement our budget. We are in the process of identifying available sources of funding and requesting sponsorship. Our Executive Director, Debbie Kinsey, and her staff, along with our Board of Directors, remain committed to our mission, vision and purpose. We anticipate that Tides will touch many more women during their journeys of motherhood and addiction. As we grow, Tides looks to continue to improve, expand and provide a viable, excellent, evidenced -based treatment program for women with maternal opioid use disorder in Southeastern North Carolina and the surrounding areas. Thank you, William M. Johnstone, Jr. MD JD MBA Founder and President, Tides Inc. 3 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 3 Introduction Tides, Inc., a North Carolina non - profit corporation was established on October 10, 2017 to offer New Hanover County's opioid addicted mothers a coordinated system of care that treats their addiction, creates conditions for the delivery of healthy babies, and helps keep the mother -baby dyad together. The purpose of Tides, as set forth in the bylaws, is to be Committed to creating and providing services to expectant mothers and their unborn children which will help them to overcome and recover from opioid drug addiction by assisting with treatment through a comprehensive, multi faceted program which includes, but is not limited to, access to medical professionals, clinicians, biological, psychological, social and spiritual care and healing, expert teams. This program will be available regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin of the adult mother or child. The program will offer a variety of services to provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, detoxification, treatment of co- morbid medical conditions, medication management, patient activities and support which will foster and promote a long term recovery success strategy through self - reliance, emotional growth, social adjustment and physical well -being of the expectant /new mothers and their children. The program model reflects a collaborative community consortium where existing community partners integrate their services to engage women in the recovery process to keep the mother - child dyad intact. Vision Statement Healthy mothers having healthy babies Mission Statement Tides is a comprehensive, intensive, outpatient treatment program, integrating existing community partner services to engage pregnant /postpartum women with opioid use disorder in the recovery process. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 4 Year 2 Annual Report The Tides staff and governing board are focused on long -term change in program participants. In developing this year's annual report, we consider both population and program performance outcomes that were established last year. Population Outcomes The Tides staff, Board of Directors, and community partners work together to achieve a condition of well -being for opioid addicted mothers. Tides seeks to achieve the following population results: 1. Previously opioid addicted mothers following a recovery plan Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates who remain free of illicit drug use 2. Mother —child dyad remaining intact Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children who remain outside the foster care system 3. Healthy and developing babies Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children who complete scheduled well -baby checks Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children not readmitted to the hospital How Did We Do? The Tides program had 18 graduates in Year 2 which allowed for collection of post - graduation data using a Qualtrics survey. The survey link was sent to all graduates in August 2020. Survey completion by participants was voluntary and anonymous, and results reflect self - reported information. Nine graduates completed the entire survey and two graduates partially completed the survey (n =11). Survey results, relevant to each population outcome, are included below. Population Result #1: Previously opioid addicted mothers following a recovery plan Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates who remain free of illicit drug use ➢ Seventy -three percent (73 %) of respondents reported that they had not used opiates or other substances since completing the program. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 5 ➢ Twenty -seven percent (27 %) of respondents reported using opiates or other substances monthly, since completing the program. Population Result #2: Mother —child dyad remaining intact Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children who remain outside the foster care system ➢ 100% of respondents who delivered a baby while in the Tides program (n =9) have full custody of their child /children and report not having any new Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement since completing the program. ➢ The cost of foster care in New Hanover County, in fiscal year 2019 -2020, was $13,357 per child (foster care maintenance payments and administrative costs) [T. Bradley, personal communication, September 1, 2020]. Having this information allows Tides staff and Board of Directors to consider cost savings of the program to the foster care system, not only related to children born to mothers while in the Tides program, but potential cost savings associated with mothers' additional children who may exit the foster care system when mothers obtain full custody after completing the program. Population Result #3: Healthy and developing babies Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children who complete scheduled well -baby checks ➢ 100% of respondents who delivered a baby while in the Tides program (n =9) reported that the babies attended all Well -Care check -ups. ➢ Additionally, these respondents reported that there were no developmental difficulties with the babies. Indicator: Percent of Tides program graduates' children not readmitted to the hospital ➢ 100% of respondents who delivered a baby while in the Tides program (n =9) reported no hospital readmissions for the babies, after the mother completed the program. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 6 ➢ While we do not have the cost of NAS- related hospital readmissions, the Tides staff and Board of Directors could also consider cost savings of the program to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Program Performance Outcomes In establishing performance accountability, we seek to answer questions of quantity and quality of effort (i.e. how much did we do and how well did we do it ?), the extent to which the program's model can be operationalized, and fiscal management. Quantity of Effort During this second year of program implementation, 30 women were assessed for program admission with 27 (90 %) accepted into the program. Adding these 27 women to the 30 who were admitted to the program in Year 1, yields a total of 57 women admitted to the Tides program since it began. Women admitted to the program in Year 2 tended to be primarily Caucasian (81 %), between the ages 20 -35 (89 %), pregnant (89 %), and had Medicaid as the primary payor (74 %). The majority of women reported having a heavy drug use history (70 %), with opiates and heroin being the drugs of choice, and a criminal history (85 %). Forty-eight percent of the women admitted in Year 2, who had previous children, had lost custody of their children (37 %) or had partial custody (11 %). See Appendix 1 for aggregate participant data. In the program's first two years, a total of 36 babies were born to women in the Tides program. Of these births, 75% of babies were born between 36 to 42 weeks gestation and 61% were considered to have normal, healthy birth weights. Additionally, for the babies who needed extra care, the average length of stay in the NICU was reduced by three days from Year 1 to Year 2. Quality of Effort Assessing the program's quality of effort (How well did we do it ?) can be seen in the length of time participants were in the program and their continued success after graduation. Of the women who are currently in the program or have graduated (n =33), 50% stayed in the program Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 7 for 12 to 18 months while 44% stayed for 6 to 12 months. We believe that remaining in the program for an extended period of time demonstrates program success, given that 97% of participants entered the program voluntarily. Women, in these cases, increase their chances for long -term change by cultivating new and healthy relationships and engaging in mentoring, counseling, and long -term reinforcements of positive habitual change. Ninety -one percent of graduates who responded to the survey (n =11) reported continued engagement in their counseling and 73% not using illicit substances since completing the program. Of the nine respondents who completed the survey, 100% indicated they have remained outside of the criminal justice system, foster care system, and have continued with their medication assisted treatment. Eighty -nine percent of these respondents also indicated that their life was better after having completed the Tides program. Operation alizing Program Model We continued, in Year 2, to build on Year 1's foundation by implementing and expanding services and referral processes to support program elements (see Appendix 2, Tides Patient Flow and Appendix 6, Year 1 Annual Report Recommendations and Actions Taken). The following descriptions of both required and optional services highlight important attributes that directly contributed to the Tide's Year 2 program successes: I. Required Services A. Staff. The following staff members were in place at the end of fiscal Year 2: • Executive Director, full -time • Transitional Living Manager, full -time • Case Manager, full -time • Residential Managers (3), part-time • Weekend Overnight Security, contracted • Transportation Driver, contracted • Team of volunteers • Web Designer (as needed), contracted • Certified Public Accountant (MOU on file) s Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 8 B. Counseling All Tides participants are required to work with our partner, Coastal Horizons, to receive counseling services through their Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program ( SAIOP). This is a 12 -week course and participants attend the program three days a week for three hours per session. However, due to COVID-19, classes have been held virtually since mid -March and last one and one -half hours per session. Participant costs for attending SAIOP are billed to each participant's Medicaid by Coastal Horizons. The Tides program pays for Coastal Horizons' Social Work Consultation for non - SAIOP treatment. At the end of Year 2, six women were in the SAIOP program, and 10 women were in post - SAIOP (weekly "After- Care" class led by a Social Worker, held virtually, in which participants must attend at least twice a month). Bi- weekly case management meetings take place between Tides' Case Manager and Coastal Horizons' Social Worker. When needed, the Executive Director and/or Family Nurse Practitioner also attend. These meetings facilitate continuity of care and services as well as continued assessments of participant progress of outcomes, goals, and/or emerging needs. C. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Tides participants are prescribed specific medication designed to diminish the desire for opioids. This greatly increases the chances of having a healthy baby. Participant's medication is managed by clinical providers at either the Physicians Specialist OB /GYN clinic or Coastal Horizons. D. Prenatal Care Prenatal care is provided at the Physicians Specialists OB /GYN clinic. High risk pregnant women also receive care and consultation at Atlantic Fetal Medicine. Prenatal care is billed to each participant's Medicaid by the OB /GYN Clinic. E. Peer Support Coastal Horizons provide peer support specialists for Tides participants upon request. Peer support costs are billed to each participant's Medicaid by Coastal Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 9 Horizons. Feedback on peer support effectiveness is provided by the participants to the Tides Executive Director. F. Smoking Cessation Smoking cessation continues to be an ongoing dilemma with participants. Most participants who enter the program are smokers (99.9 %). The Transitional Living Facility became smoke -free in March 2020, thereby reducing the number of cigarettes smoked by residents. For women who are serious about completely quitting, NHRMC offers a Smoking Cessation class and mentors the attendees for 100 days after class to offer support and encouragement. Tides recently purchased a "You Can Quit Smoking While Pregnant" DVD program and will begin implementation for all participants to complete the program. G. Parenting Training With COVID -19 affecting the ability to train in person, most participants have completed the online Smart Start Triple P® training course free of charge. Tides has also joined with InJoy9, a comprehensive, education network of DVDs, online eClasses and tutorials centered around birth and mother/baby care. Participants log into their own portal and take interactive training courses with pre and post testing. Tides is able to track progress and assist individuals as they move through the curriculum. II. Optional Services A. Housing Tides opened its first transitional living facility in June 2019. At the end of Year 2, a total of 14 women and 12 babies have been cared for in our facility. At the beginning of 2020, Tides expanded its housing capacity by adding three additional apartments in an adjacent building to accommodate a total of 10 women and 10 babies at any one time. B. Transportation The Tides program utilizes various options for transportation. In August 2019, Tides purchased a 15- passenger van to transport its residential and off -site participants. A part-time, contracted driver currently transports approximately mi Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 10 80% of our transportation needs. COVID -19 brought many obstacles in using commercial transporters such as Circulation Lyfto, taxicabs and Medicaid Transport. However, these services are still utilized when necessary. C. Childcare The Tides program utilizes and pays two organizations, Childcare Network and Kids & Co, to support Tides participant childcare needs. Participants are required to obtain DSS vouchers, which greatly reduce Tides' cost for childcare. D. Psychiatric Care Coastal Horizons provides psychiatric care to Tides participants, if indicated. Treatment costs are billed to each participant's Medicaid by Coastal Horizons. E. Spiritual Care Tides residential participants have the opportunity to attend weekly services at 828 Church in Wilmington, NC. Residents also take part in an onsite, faith -based support group once a week. F. Job Training Tides has partnered with StepUp® Wilmington to provide participants with a hands -on job training course. Due to COVID -19, the training has changed from a four day, in- person course to a three -day virtual course. The training assists participants in resume writing, teaches interview skills and how to navigate an interview with a questionable background report. After completing the course, each participant is assigned a Talent Manager to assist with locating potential jobs and navigating the process of obtaining employment. G. Education Training An individualized training plan is created for participants who have a desire to return to secondary or post - secondary school to complete their studies. Two of our participants are in the process of obtaining their GED. H. Life Skills Training Tides works to provide informal life skills training to its residents at the transitional living facility. These skills include budgeting /managing money, time management and organization skills. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 11 I. Medical Care Medaco Urgent Care is the Tides "go -to" for a participant's non - emergency care needs. The Tides program pays the co -pay for care and initial prescriptions based on participant's ability to pay. Fiscal Man agem en t The Tides program was funded in Year 2 primarily by New Hanover County (98 %). A total of $228,057 (41%) was rolled over from Year 1 (lower than expected expenditures in Year 1 due to establishing best practices for accepting participants and building corporate infrastructure) and added to the county's Year 2 funding of $315,360 (57 %). Private donors contributed a total of $13,727 (2 %) to equal a revenue total of $557,144 which was managed by the Tides Executive Director. At the end of Year 2, 87% percent of revenue was expensed ($482,969) with 13% ($74,174) remaining in cash flow. See Appendix 3 for the year -end finance report. Recommendations The Tides Board of Directors and staff spent Year 2 implementing all program elements and addressing Year 1 Annual Report recommendations (see Appendix 6), while continuing to accept women into the program and focus on their treatment to obtain goals and outcomes. This second year's evaluation continues to identify areas where program improvement should be made as we move into Year 3. Recommendation 1: Develop a timeline for a strategic planning process Recommendation 2: Hire or contract a grant writer to develop and implement a funding opportunity plan Recommendation 3: Develop staff onboarding plan to include CPR Certification, Conflict Resolution, and Resiliency Training Recommendation 4: Engage non - residential women in additional face -to -face mentoring, training, and positive relationships Conclusion The Tides program represents an innovative model of care for opioid addicted pregnant mothers in southeastern North Carolina. The significance of Tide's work is to effectively treat pregnant 12 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 12 women's addiction, improve health and developmental outcomes related to NAS births, and increase the placement of newborns with mothers and out of the foster care system. New Hanover County administration committed to financing the Tides for its first three years, as a pilot project, and set the goal of admitting 24 participants per year into the program. Tides has exceeded this expectation in each of its years of operation, admitting 30 women in Year 1 and 27 women in Year 2. We surmise that the COVID -19 pandemic adversely impacted the number of Year 2 assessments that otherwise would have been completed. See Appendix 5 for Tides Program Report for New Hanover County. The Tides staff and governing board are focused on long -term change in program participants, and the results of the post - graduation survey point to progress being made (see also Appendix 4 for graduate testimonies). Forming relationships during the program, and sustaining them after graduation, have important benefits. Consider that the majority of respondents completed the survey after having graduated from the Tides program for at least 4 -6 months (64 %), with two respondents (18 %) having graduated 7 -12 months prior to completing the survey, demonstrating in part the impact of formed relationships while in the program. It is significant that 89% of respondents indicated their life was better after having completed the program. While the Tides program has only been operational for two years, it has demonstrated early successes in achieving both population and program performance outcomes. Here are some statements our graduates wrote: "I am more stable and structured. ", "I have maintained my sobriety and life with my boy is beautiful. ", "I am still in connection with my doctor and therapist... still clean and sober. ", "Since completing the Tides program my life continues to improve. I have launched 2 businesses of my own, I am completely off of government assistance because I am able to provide for me and my daughter on my own as a single mother. ", and "I have moved forward in my life as far as staying clean, getting an apartment, a car and employment." These women are working hard to be Healthy Mothers Having Healthy Babies. 13 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 15- 1 - 13 This Second Annual Report was submitted to Dr. William Johnstone, Founder and President of Tides, Inc.

Auer moving in 2015, 1 started cosmetology school. I still struggled being by myself. f stayed in a halfway house for .about g months then got my own townhouse. I graduated from cosrnetology school in 2017 and found out I was pregnant with my first baby. This was an extremely bard time for me. I was not happy with the father of my baby. I wanted out but was afraid to reach fo r help. This ended up becoming a trigger for me as my anxiety took its toli and I ended up back whc,ra• 1 started_ I lost everything even my daughter to DSS, and ended tap with a I)(; I n tid in jail for 6 weeks, I am so gratefitl for this last experience b4mause it led me to new beginr ipp. I have always loved the quote "When one door closes another one opens "_ AfIter getting out of jail I moved into UNC, a transitional living facility for those who have been incarcerated. While living there, I learned about kratom and began using that to cope with the unfamiliarity o f my life at that point. I began seeing sa great guy and it was not long, be fore I found myself pregnant again- I fou rod out about Tides from another woman at UNC who was in the program. I met with Debbie, to ld her my story, and was actepted into the program. The tars[ thing they did was wean me off of kratom and put me on a medication assisted treatment program. So here 1 found myself in the Tides program with a new pregnancy, and a new partner in life. 1 was so seared and had no idea where it would take me or if'it was even a you d idea. I did not even know if 1 wanted another baby at the time_ But, meeting Debbie and a couple other ladies in the'rides program inspired Yoe tremendously to keep pushing forward and that this was Cod's plan fn r toe. During my time in ` -ides, I continued to work my DDS plan to regain custody of my first daughter. I completed parenting classes and a m -week SAJOP specifically for mama`s and babies.

Now only a year and a half later, we bought a home and I Lam able to stay home with my two girls who are growing and active. I have graduated from the Tides program but am still active in my recovery. 1 do sessions with a therapist I discovered while doing the SAIOP classes_ Ivry fiancs works and that is how we manage financially, When ourOis get a little older and we are past Covid -19, I will return to cutting hair.

This budget amendment would eliminate the Home Delivered Meals (HDM) waitlist as of 12/23/2020 by adding 75 homebound older adult residents to the program and increasing staffing capacity to help pack and deliver meals. If approved, 75 older adults would be assessed by SRC Social Workers and added to the program within a 45- day period. Prior to COVI D -19, the SRC had a waitlist of over 120 homebound seniors needing daily meals and the need only grew during the pandemic. Due to various temporary COVI D -19 funding sources, the SRC is serving approximately 316 more clients daily between its H DM program and Congregate program (drive thru program) during the COVI D pandemic than pre-COVI D. Since April 2020, the HDM program added an additional 130 homebound seniors to its daily meal service. On average, 750 meals are currently being packed, served and /or delivered each day between both nutrition programs (HDM and Congregate) as compared to 436 meals packed and delivered /served pre -COVI D. Challenges during COVI D-19 have not only caused an increase in older adults needing nutrition services for both HDM and Congregate, but has greatly impacted volunteer availability to assist with packing and delivering meals. Prior to the pandemic, the majority for HDM and Congregate volunteers were seniors themselves. Out of caution for their own safety, several volunteers made the tough decision to suspend their volunteer service. Despite ongoing volunteer recruitment efforts, there continues to be a volunteer shortage to meet the increased program demand. This budget amendment addresses the need to eliminate the current HDM waiting list of 75 and would provide ongoing funding to support daily nutrition services for a total of 540 HDM participants, adding 2 FTE positions to address staffing capacity and 1 van to transport meals. Increasing the HDM program beyond the 540 daily count would result needing additional funding and staffing capacity.

The 2021 Bonds will mature on [August] 1 of the years and in the amounts and will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30- day months) as follows: PRINCIPAL INTEREST PRINCIPAL INTEREST YEAR AMOUNT RATE YEAR AMOUNT RATE (a) Both the principal of and the interest on the 2021 Bonds and any premiums on the prepayment thereof prior to maturity are payable in any lawful coin or currency of the United States of America which on the respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Each 2021 Bond shall bear interest until its principal sum has been paid, but if such 2021 Bond has matured or has been called for prepayment and the prepayment date has occurred and funds are available for the payment thereof in full in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Indenture, such 2021 Bond shall then cease to bear interest as of the maturity date or prepayment date.

If no interest has been paid on the 2021 Bonds, 2021 Bonds executed and delivered in exchange for or on the registration of transfer of 2021 Bonds will be dated as of their date of initial execution and delivery. (b) The 2021 Bonds will be delivered by means of a book -entry system with no physical distribution of definitive 2021 Bonds made to the public. One definitive 2021 Bond for each maturity is to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC'), and immobilized in its custody. A book -entry system will be employed, evidencing ownership of the 2021 Bonds in the denomination of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof, with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants (the "DTC Participants ") pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC. Each DTC Participant will be credited in the records of DTC with the amount of such DTC Participant's interest in the 2021 Bonds. Beneficial ownership interests in the 2021 Bonds may be purchased by or through DTC Participants. The holders of these beneficial ownership interests are hereinafter referred to as the "Beneficial Owners." The Beneficial Owners will not receive definitive 2021 Bonds representing their beneficial ownership interests. The ownership interests of each Beneficial Owner will be recorded through the records of the DTC Participant from which such Beneficial Owner purchased its 2021 Bonds. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2021 Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by DTC Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE FOR DTC, IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE 2021 BONDS, THE TRUSTEE SHALL TREAT CEDE & CO. AS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE 2021 BONDS FOR ALL PURPOSES UNDER THE 2010 INDENTURE AND THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENT, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF ALL PRINCIPAL AND PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE 2021 BONDS, RECEIPT OF NOTICES, VOTING AND REQUESTING OR DIRECTING THE TRUSTEE TO TAKE OR NOT TO TAKE, OR CONSENTING TO, CERTAIN ACTIONS UNDER THE 2010 INDENTURE OR THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) below, payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to the 2021 Bonds, so long as DTC is the only Owner of the 2021 Bonds, will be paid by the Trustee directly to DTC or its nominee, as provided in the Blanket Letter of Representation, from the County to DTC (the "Letter of Representation "). DTC will remit such payments to DTC Participants, and such payments thereafter will be paid by DTC Participants to the Beneficial Owners. The Trustee and the County are not and will not be responsible or liable for payment by DTC or DTC Participants, for sending transaction statements or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC or DTC Participants. If DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the 2021 Bonds and a successor securities depository is not identified to replace DTC, the County will cause fully registered definitive 2021 Bonds to be delivered to DTC. The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry only transfers through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules and, in that event, the County will cause fully registered definitive 2021 Bonds to be delivered in accordance with DTC's rules and procedures. The County, the Corporation and the Trustee have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (1) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any DTC Participant; (2) the payment by DTC or any DTC participant of any amount due to any beneficial owner in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2021 Bonds; (3) the delivery or timeliness of delivery by DTC or any DTC Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 4 - 7 Participant of any notice due to any beneficial owner which is required or permitted under the terms of the Contract, the 2010 Indenture or this Third Supplement to be given to Owners; (4) the selection of beneficial owners to receive payments in the event of any partial prepayment of the 2021 Bonds; or (5) any consent given or other action taken by DTC or its nominee, as Owner. (c) The 2021 Bonds and any premiums on the prepayment thereof prior to maturity are payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee on presentation and surrender. Interest on the 2021 Bonds will be paid by the Trustee by check or draft mailed on the Interest Payment Date to each Owner as its name and address appear on the register kept by the Trustee at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month next preceding an Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date "). At the written request of any Owner of at least $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Bonds, principal and interest may be payable by wire transfer at the address specified in writing by the Owner by the Record Date. As long as Cede & Co. or another DTC nominee is the registered owner of the 2021 Bonds, the Trustee shall make all payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds by wire transfer in immediately available funds. CUSIP number identification with appropriate dollar amounts for each CUSIP number shall accompany all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any 2021 Bonds, whether by check or by wire transfer. Section 2.5. Arbitrage and Tax Covenants. The Corporation covenants that it will not take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any action that would adversely affect the exclusion from federal income taxation of the interest on the 2021 Bonds and, if it should take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action, the Corporation will take or cause to be taken all lawful actions within its power necessary to rescind or correct such actions or omissions promptly on having knowledge thereof. The Corporation acknowledges that the continued exclusion of interest on the 2021 Bonds from an Owner's gross income for federal income tax purposes depends, in part, on compliance with the arbitrage limitations imposed by Section 148 of the Code. The Corporation covenants that it will comply, or cause the County to comply, with all the requirements of Section 148 of the Code, including the rebate requirements, and that it will not permit at any time any of the proceeds of the 2021 Bonds or other funds under their control be used, directly or indirectly, to acquire any asset or obligation, the acquisition of which would cause the 2021 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" for purposes of Section 148 of the Code.

and on the request of the Underwriters therefore, the County shall prepare and deliver to the Underwriters at the County's expense as many copies of an amendment or supplement which will correct any untrue statement or omission as the Underwriters may reasonably request;

A -4 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 5 - 21 3. Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the County agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against any and all losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal and other fees and expenses), liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof), to which the Underwriters or the other persons described in subsection (b) of this Section may become subject under any federal or state securities laws or other statutory law or at common law or otherwise, caused by or arising out of or based upon any breach (or alleged breach) by the County of any of the covenants, representations or warranties herein or any untrue statement or misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in the Official Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission from the Official Statement of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (b) The indemnity provided under this Section will extend to the extent permitted by applicable law upon the same terms and conditions to each officer, director, employee or agent of the Underwriters, and each person, if any, who controls either of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such indemnity will also extend, without limitation, to any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred by any indemnified party in connection with investigation, preparing for or defending against, or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other reasonable action in respect of, any such loss, damage, expense, liability, or claim (or action in respect thereof), whether or not resulting in any liability, and will include the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever as set forth herein if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the County. (c) Within a reasonable time after an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section has been served with the summons or other first legal process or has received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed, such indemnified party must, if a claim for indemnity in respect thereof is to be made against the County under this Section, notify the County in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the County will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. The County will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, and if the County so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, or if all indemnified parties seeking indemnification in such notice so direct, the County must, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, and such defense will be conducted by counsel chosen promptly by the County and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include such an indemnified parry and the County, or include more than one indemnified party, and any such indemnified party has been advised by its counsel that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the County or another indemnified party, and that in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to make it undesirable for the same counsel to represent such indemnified party and the County, or another defendant indemnified party, such indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in such action (and the County will not be entitled to assume the defense thereof on behalf of such indemnified party), and in such event the A -5 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 5 - 22 reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be borne by the County. Nothing contained in this subsection (c) will preclude any indemnified party, at its own expense, from retaining additional counsel to represent such party in any action with respect to which indemnity may be sought from the County hereunder. (d) If the indemnification provided for in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless and indemnify any indemnified parry in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, or claims (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the County, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liability or claims (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the County on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Bonds. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, or if the indemnified parry failed to give the notice required under the subsection (c) above, then the County, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand will contribute to such amount paid or payable by the indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the County on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the County on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand will be deemed to be in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount payable to the Underwriters hereunder (i.e., the excess of the aggregate public offering price for the Bonds as set forth on the cover page of the Official Statement over the price to be paid by the Underwriters to the County upon delivery of the Bonds as specified in Section 1 of the Purchase Contract) bears to the aggregate public offering price as described above, and the County is responsible for the balance. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the County on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In the event the Underwriters have knowledge of a claim subject to the contribution provided by this subsection (d), the Underwriters agree within a reasonable time of obtaining such knowledge, to convey notice of such claim to the County. It is agreed and understood that if the Underwriters fail under the circumstances set forth in the preceding sentence, to convey the above referenced notice to the County, then the County will not be obligated to provide contribution pursuant to this subsection (d). The County and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by any method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in this subsection (d) will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. A -6 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 5 - 23 (e) The indemnity and contribution provided by this Section will be in addition to any other liability that the County may otherwise have hereunder, at common law or otherwise, and is provided solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and each director, officer, employee, agent, attorney and controlling person referred to therein, and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, and no other person will acquire or have any right under or by virtue of such provisions of this Letter of Representation. 4. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All representations, warranties and agreements in this Letter of Representation will survive regardless of (a) any investigation or any statement in respect thereof made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, (b) delivery of any payment by the Underwriters for the Bonds hereunder, and (c) any termination of the Purchase Contract. 5. Binding on Successors and Assigns. This Letter of Representation will be binding upon the County and the successors and assigns of the County and inure solely to the benefit of the Underwriters and, to the extent set forth herein, any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Underwriters and, to the extent set forth herein, persons controlling the either of the Underwriters, and their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns, and no other person or firm or entity will acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Letter of Representation. Acceptance of this Letter of Representation by the Underwriters is waived.

In connection with this opinion, I also have examined originals, or copies identified to my satisfaction, of such other documents, instruments, certificates and records as I have considered appropriate in order to render my opinions contained herein. Where I have considered it appropriate, as to certain facts I have relied, without investigation or analysis of any underlying data contained therein, upon certificates or other comparable documents of public officials or other appropriate representatives of the County. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I have assumed, among other things, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures not signed in my presence, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, that all documents submitted to me as copies conform with the originals thereof, that the County Documents fully state the agreement between the County and the other parties thereto, and that the County Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto other than the County, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. The opinions set forth herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina and the federal laws of the United States, and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. I express no opinion concerning any matter respecting or affected by any laws other than laws that a lawyer in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the County, the Bonds or both of them.

The County has duly approved the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement and the use thereof by the Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds. 4. All consents, approvals or authorizations of any governmental entity and all filings required on the part of the County in connection with the execution and delivery of the Bonds and the authorization, execution and delivery of the County Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except that I express no opinion as to any federal or state regulatory requirements of the Underwriters or any action required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds by the Underwriters. 5. To the best of my knowledge, the County is not in violation or breach of or in default under any applicable law or administrative regulation of the State of North Carolina or the United States or any applicable judgment or decree or administrative ruling or any agreement, resolution, certificate or other instrument to which the County is a party or is otherwise subject which violation, breach or default would in any way materially adversely affect the County's transactions contemplated by the County Documents or the execution and delivery of the Bonds, and, to the best of my knowledge, no event has occurred and is continuing which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a violation or breach thereof or default thereunder. 6. To the best of my knowledge, the execution and delivery of the County Documents by the County, and compliance with the provisions of each, do not and will not conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of or a default under any applicable law, rule or regulation of the United States or of the State of North Carolina or of any department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof having jurisdiction over the County or any applicable order, judgment or decree of any court of other governmental agency or body or any bond, note, loan agreement, resolution, certificate, agreement or other instrument to which the County is a party or by which it or its property is bound. 7.

Enforcement of the County Documents is subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) by which a court with proper jurisdiction may deny rights of specific performance, injunction, self -help, possessory remedies or other remedies. 3. Indemnification provisions in the County Documents are subject to and may be rendered unenforceable by applicable law or public policy, including applicable securities law. [Insert other appropriate exceptions, if any] I advise you that, to my knowledge, after reasonable investigation, there is no action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation at law or in equity before or by any court, public board or body, pending of which the County has been served with a summons, summons and complaint or other notice of commencement, or threatened against the County, (a) to restrain or enjoin the execution or delivery of the Bonds, (b) challenging the validity of the Resolution, the County Documents, the Bonds or contesting the power and authority of the County to execute and deliver the County Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated therein, or (c) adversely affecting the security for the Bonds. In addition, I advise you that I have participated in the preparation of the Official Statement and that nothing has come to my attention that would lead me to believe that the Official Statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that I express no view about the information concerning the validity or tax status of the Bonds, The Depository Trust Company and the book - entry system for the Bonds, or about the financial and statistical data contained in the Official Statement); however, I have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any information provided to me by the County or any other person or the genuineness of any document provided to me by the County or any other person in connection with my participation in the preparation of the Official Statement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if notice is properly given, failure to receive an appropriate notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for such prepayment, (2) failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for prepayment of the 2021 Bonds or portions thereof with respect to which notice was correctly given and (3) failure to give any such notice to the parties described in clauses (c) and (d) above, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for prepayment of the 2021 Bonds. If at the time of mailing of notice of prepayment, there has not been deposited with the Trustee moneys sufficient to prepay all the 2021 Bonds or portions thereof called for prepayment, which moneys are or will be available for prepayment of such 2021 Bonds, such notice will state that it is conditional on the deposit of the prepayment moneys with the Trustee not later than the opening of business on the prepayment date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited. Before the date fixed for prepayment, funds will be deposited with the Trustee to pay the 2021 Bonds or portions thereof called for prepayment, together with accrued interest to the prepayment date. On the giving of notice and the deposit of such funds for prepayment pursuant to the Indenture, interest with respect to the 2021 Bonds or portions thereof so called for prepayment will no longer accrue after the date fixed for prepayment. The 2021 Bonds or portions thereof called for prepayment will be due and payable on the prepayment date at the prepayment price, together with accrued interest with respect thereto to the prepayment date. If the required notice of prepayment has been given and moneys sufficient to pay the prepayment price, together with accrued interest to the prepayment date have been deposited with the Trustee, the 2021 Bonds or portions thereof so called for prepayment will cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture, and the Owners of such 2021 Bonds will have no rights with respect to such 2021 Bonds or portions thereof so called for prepayment except to receive payment of the prepayment price and accrued interest to the prepayment date from such funds held by the Trustee. On surrender and cancellation of any 2021 Bonds called for prepayment in part only, a new 2021 Bond or 2021 Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate and of authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unprepaid portion thereof, will be executed on behalf of the Corporation and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE INDENTURE, THERE WILL BE NO PREPAYMENT OF LESS THAN ALL OF THE 2021 BONDS OUTSTANDING. 6 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 11 THE PROJECTS AND REFUNDING The 2021 Bonds are being executed and delivered to provide funds to pay capital costs for the following projects: Addiction Treatment Center Project.

The 2021 Bonds will be proportionately and ratably secured with the Bonds executed and delivered pursuant to the Indenture. Revenues are defined in the Contract to mean (a) all Net Proceeds not applied to the replacement of the Premises, (b) all Installment Payments and (c) all investment income on all funds and accounts created under the Indenture (other than the Rebate Fund). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner of each 2021 Bond is not entitled to receive more than the amount of principal and interest represented by such 2021 Bond. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS AND ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS Under the Contract, the County is required to make the Installment Payments directly to the Trustee in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal (whether at maturity, by prepayment or otherwise) and interest with respect to the Bonds executed and delivered under the Indenture as the same become due and payable. The County is also obligated under the Contract to pay as Additional Payments to such persons as are entitled thereto, the reasonable and customary expenses and fees of the Trustee and the Corporation, any expenses of the Corporation in defending an action or proceeding in connection with the Contract or the Indenture and any taxes or any other expenses, including, but not limited to, licenses, permits, state and local income, sales and use or ownership taxes or property taxes which the County or the Corporation is expressly required to pay as a result of the Contract (together with interest that may accrue thereon in the event that the County fails to pay the same). BUDGET AND APPROPRIATION Pursuant to the Contract, the County shall (a) cause its budget officer (as statutorily defined) to include the Installment Payments and the reasonably estimated Additional Payments coming due in each Fiscal Year in the corresponding annual budget request, (b) require that the deletion of such funds from the County's final budget or any amended budget be made only pursuant to an express resolution of the Board which explains the reason for such action and (c) deliver notice to the Trustee, S &P, Moody's and the LGC within five days after the adoption by the Board of the resolution described in clause (b) above. Nothing contained in the Contract, however, obligates the County to appropriate moneys contained in the proposed budget for the payment of the Installment Payments or the reasonably estimated Additional Payments coming due under the Contract. In connection with the Installment Payments and the Additional Payments, the appropriation of funds therefor is within the sole discretion of the Board. DEED OF TRUST In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2010 Bonds, the County executed the 2010 Deed of Trust as security for its obligations under the 2010 Contract granting a security interest in a portion of the Government Center and the Judicial Center, including the sites on which they are located, subject to certain permitted encumbrances as set forth in the 2010 Contract and the 2010 Deed of Trust (the "2010 Mortgaged Property "). When the County executed and delivered the 2020A Bonds, the County entered into the Second Amendment and the Notice of Extension to grant a security interest in a juvenile justice facility (the "Juvenile Justice Facility ") (the "2020 Mortgaged Property "). Concurrently with the addition of the 2020 Mortgaged Property to the lien of the Deed of Trust, the County released the Existing Government Center from the lien of the Deed of Trust in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust. In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds, the County is entering into the Third Amendment and an extension to grant a security interest in the New Government Center. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 13 UPON THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE 2021 BONDS THE NEW GOVERNMENT CENTER, THE JUVENILE JUSTICE FACILITY AND THE JUDICIAL CENTER WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION OF "MORTGAGED PROPERTY" AND, CONSEQUENTLY, SUCH REAL PROPERTY AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEREON WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIEN CREATED BY THE DEED OF TRUST. The Deed of Trust authorizes future obligations evidenced by Additional Bonds executed and delivered under the Indenture to be secured by the Deed of Trust, provided that the total amount of present and future obligations secured thereby at any one time does not exceed $300,000,000 and such future obligations are incurred not later than 30 years from the date of the Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust is recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of New Hanover County, North Carolina, and the liens created thereby will be insured by a title insurance policy. So long as there is no event of default under the Deed of Trust, the Trustee, with the Corporation's consent, must release the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof from the lien and security interest of the Deed of Trust when and if the following requirements have been fulfilled: (1) in connection with any release of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, there is filed with the Corporation a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the County stating the purpose for which the County desires such release, giving an adequate legal description of the part of the Mortgaged Property to be released, requesting such release and providing for payment by the County of all expenses in connection with such release; (2) in connection with the release of any part of the Mortgaged Property constituting less than the entire Mortgaged Property, the tax, insured or appraised value of the Mortgaged Property remaining after the proposed release is not less than 50% of the aggregate principal component of the Installment Payments relating to the Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture; (3) in connection with the release of any part of the Mortgaged Property constituting less than the entire Mortgaged Property, such release shall not prohibit the County's ingress, egress and regress to and from the remainder of the Mortgaged Property not being released, or materially interfere with the use of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property not being released; (4) in connection with the release of the entire Mortgaged Property, there is paid to the Corporation an amount sufficient to provide for the payment in full all of the Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture; and (5) in connection with the release of any part of the Mortgaged Property, prior written notice of such release shall be provided to Moody's and S &P (each as defined below). INDENTURE Pursuant to the Indenture, the Corporation has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds executed and delivered under the Indenture (a) all rights, title and interest of the Corporation in the Contract (except for certain indemnification rights, certain notice rights and the right to Additional Payments payable to the Corporation), including its rights to receive the Installment Payments thereunder, (b) all rights, title and interest of the Corporation in the Deed of Trust and the Mortgaged Property and (c) all moneys and securities from time to time held by the Trustee under the Indenture in any fund or account (except the Rebate Fund). 9 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 14 ENFORCEABILITY NEITHER THE CONTRACT NOR THE 2021 BONDS CONSTITUTE A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE COUNTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATION. NO DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT MAY BE RENDERED AGAINST THE COUNTY IN ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION UNDER THE CONTRACT, AND THE TAXING POWER OF THE COUNTY IS NOT PLEDGED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO SECURE ANY MONEYS DUE THE OWNERS OF THE 2021 BONDS PURSUANT TO THE CONTRACT. THE REMEDIES AFFORDED TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE OWNERS OF THE 2021 BONDS ON A DEFAULT BY THE COUNTY UNDER THE CONTRACT ARE LIMITED TO THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE CONTRACT AND THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING EXERCISING THE RIGHTS OF THE BENEFICIARY UNDER THE DEED OF TRUST AND THE RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE IN THE FUNDS HELD UNDER THE INDENTURE. The 2021 Bonds will not constitute a debt or general obligation of the Corporation and will not give the Owners of the 2021 Bonds any recourse to the assets of the Corporation, but will be payable solely from amounts payable by the County under the Contract, from amounts realized on the foreclosure on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust and from funds held in certain funds and accounts under the Indenture for such purpose. The enforceability of the Indenture, the Contract and the Deed of Trust is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and other related laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and, to the extent that certain remedies under such instruments require, or may require, enforcement by a court, to such principles of equity as the court having jurisdiction may impose. See "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS - THE CONTRACT - Remedies on Default" in Appendix C for a more complete description of the rights and powers of the Trustee upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Contract. ADDITIONAL BONDS Under the conditions described in the Indenture and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Corporation may execute and deliver Additional Bonds under the Indenture without the consent of the Owners of the Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture to provide funds to pay (a) the cost of expanding the Projects or acquiring, constructing, renovating and equipping other facilities or acquiring equipment and other capital assets for utilization by the County for public purposes, (b) the cost of refunding of all or any portion of the Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture or any other installment financing obligations of the County, provided that such a refunding does not result in a reduction in the rating assigned to the Outstanding Bonds by Moody's or S &P; and (c) the Costs of Delivery relating to the execution, delivery and sale of such Additional Bonds. The 2021 Bonds, the 2020 Bonds, the 2012 Bonds and the 2010 Bonds are payable on a parity with any Additional Bonds hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the Indenture. The Installment Payments and any Installment Payments with respect to Additional Bonds issued under the Indenture will be deposited as received by the Trustee in the Bond Fund held by the Trustee. Moneys in the Bond Fund will be withdrawn and used to pay the principal and interest with respect to the Bonds executed and delivered under the Indenture as the same become due and payable. If on any date the moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund are insufficient to pay all of the principal and interest with respect to the Bonds executed and delivered under the Indenture which are due and payable on such date, such moneys will be used to pay such principal and interest with respect to the Bonds entitled to receive principal or interest with respect to such date in the manner provided in the Indenture. See "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS - THE INDENTURE - Application ofMoneys' in Appendix C. 10 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 15 AVAILABLE SOURCES FOR PAYMENT OF INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS GENERAL The County may pay its Installment Payments from any source of funds available to it in each year and appropriated therefor during the term of the Contract. GENERAL FUND REVENUES The County's general fund revenues for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2020 were $311,899,395. The County's general fund revenues for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2020 and for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2021 were budgeted at $301,064,531 and $304,445,418, respectively. General fund revenues are derived from various sources including property taxes, which generated approximately 58% of the general fund revenues in the County's 2021 adopted budget. For the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the County imposed a property tax of $0.4903 per $100 of assessed value. For the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2021, the County imposed a property tax of $0.4903 per $100, which is expected to generate approximately $177,017,949. The County also imposed a County -wide property tax exclusively for certain debt payments that are accounted for in a Debt Service Fund. The rates were $0.0647 per $100 of assessed value for Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020. The General Statutes of North Carolina permit counties to impose property taxes of up to $1.50 per $100 of assessed value for certain purposes without the requirement of a voter referendum. See Appendix B hereto for additional information regarding the County's general fund revenues for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2020. INSTALLMENT PAYMENT SCHEDULE The following schedule sets forth for each Fiscal Year of the County ending June 30 the amount of principal (whether at maturity or pursuant to mandatory prepayment) and interest required to be paid under the Contract with respect to the 2021 Bonds, 2020A Bonds, the 2012 Bonds and the 2010 Bonds. Totals may not foot due to rounding.

Following execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds and release of the Government Center, the Mortgaged Property will include only the real property on which (1) the Judicial Center is located at Fourth and Market Streets in Wilmington, North Carolina, (2) the Juvenile Justice Facility is located at 138 N. 4th Street, in Wilmington, North Carolina and (3) the New Government Center will be located at and all improvements thereon. NO DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT MAY BE RENDERED AGAINST THE COUNTY IN ANY ACTION FOR ANY BREACH OF THE CONTRACT. THE TAXING POWER OF THE COUNTY IS NOT AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OR CONTINGENTLY TO SECURE ANY MONEYS DUE UNDER THE CONTRACT. THE REMEDIES AFFORDED TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE OWNERS OF THE BONDS UPON A DEFAULT BY THE COUNTY UNDER THE CONTRACT ARE LIMITED TO THOSE OF A SECURED PARTY UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE, INCLUDING FORECLOSING ON THE COUNTY'S INTEREST IN THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY COVERED BY THE DEED OF TRUST. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE MONEYS AVAILABLE IN THE FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS HELD BY THE TRUSTEE AND THE PROCEEDS OF ANY SUCH FORECLOSURE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE BONDS OUTSTANDING UNDER THE INDENTURE. RISK OF NONAPPROPRIATION The appropriation of moneys to make the Installment Payments is within the sole discretion of the Board of the County. If the Board fails to appropriate such moneys, the only sources of payment for the Bonds will be the moneys, if any, available in the respective funds and accounts held by the Trustee under the Indenture and the proceeds of any attempted foreclosure on the County's interest in the Mortgaged Property under the Deed of Trust. ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS The County is not aware of any recognized environmental concerns with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The County is required under the Contract to undertake whatever environmental remediation may be required by law. For example, if any portion of the Premises becomes a "Superfund site" under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the federal government may require clean -up and the County may be required to pay all or a part of such clean -up costs. If the County was unable to continue operation of any part of the Mortgaged Property because of environmental contamination of the Mortgaged Property, the value of the Mortgaged Property at foreclosure would be reduced by the cost of any clean -up. Moreover, under the Indenture, the Trustee may refuse to foreclose on any portion of the Mortgaged Property affected by such environmental contamination. VALUE OF COLLATERAL No special appraisal of the Mortgaged Property has been obtained and the amount of proceeds received through foreclosure of the County's interest in the Mortgaged Property will be affected by a number of factors, including (1) the costs and expenses in enforcing the lien and security, (2) the condition of the Mortgaged Property, (3) the occurrence of any damage, destruction, loss or theft of the 13 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 18 Mortgaged Property which is not repaired or replaced and for which there are not received or appropriated moneys from insurance policies or any risk management program, (4) problems relating to the paucity of alternative uses of the facilities arising from their design, zoning restrictions, use restrictions, easements and encumbrances on the Mortgaged Property and (5) environmental problems and risks with respect to the Mortgaged Property. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE VALUE OF THE COUNTY'S INTEREST IN THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IN FORECLOSURE. UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED CASUALTY If all or any part of the Projects is partially or totally damaged or destroyed by any fire or other casualty or is wholly or partially taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings, the County may elect not to repair, restore, improve or replace the affected portion of the Premises if (1) the Net Proceeds are less than $500,000 and (2) a County Representative certifies to the Corporation that such Net Proceeds are not necessary to restore the affected portion of the Premises to its intended use. In such event, the County will direct the Trustee to deposit such Net Proceeds in the Bond Fund to be applied toward the next payment of principal and interest with respect to the Bonds. The Contract requires the County to maintain certain insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property, but such insurance may not cover all perils to which the Mortgaged Property is subject or provide sufficient Net Proceeds to fully repair or replace the Mortgaged Property. OUTSTANDING GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT OF THE COUNTY The County has general obligation bonds outstanding and may issue additional general obligation bonds and notes in the future. The County has pledged and will pledge its faith and credit and taxing power to the payment of its general obligation bonds and notes issued or to be issued. See the caption "THE COUNTY - DEBT INFORMATION" in Appendix A for a description of the County's outstanding and authorized but unissued general obligation bonds and notes. FUNDS WHICH MAY OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO PAY INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS OR ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS OR TO MAKE OTHER PAYMENTS TO BE MADE BY THE COUNTY UNDER THE CONTRACT MAY BE SUBJECT TO SUCH FAITH AND CREDIT PLEDGE BY THE COUNTY AND THEREFORE MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE APPLIED TO THE PAYMENT OF ITS GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS. OTHER INDEBTEDNESS There is no limitation on the County entering into additional contracts which provide for obligations the payment on which is subject to appropriation. See "THE COUNTY - DEBT INFORMATION - Other Long -Term Commitments" in Appendix A. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (COVID -19) On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic following the outbreak of COVID -19, a respiratory disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus, which is currently negatively impacting most, if not all, areas of the world, including the United States, the State and the County. Within the United States, the Federal government and various state and local governments, as well as private entities and institutions, have implemented a variety of different efforts aimed at preventing the spread of COVID -19 including, but not limited to, travel restrictions, voluntary and mandatory quarantines, event postponement and cancellations, voluntary and mandatory work from home arrangements, and facility closures. The impact of these various measures, as well as general concerns related to the global and national public health emergency and other contributing factors, have also resulted in significant volatility in the stock markets and a general consensus that the global and national economies are distressed. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 19 On March 10, 2020, Governor Roy Cooper declared a state of emergency in the State. The County followed soon after, declaring a State of Emergency on March 20, 2020. Subsequently, the State and the County imposed several restrictions designed to address the COVID -19 pandemic. On , 2020 the Board of Commissioners of the County terminated its restrictions related to COVID -19 and incorporated the State's restrictions. The State has taken a multi - phased approach, based on testing, tracing and trends, to lift restrictions in place to slow the spread of COVID -19. On May 5, 2020, Governor Cooper issued Executive Order 138, which established a three -phase reopening plan (the "Reopening Plan ") for the State. On September 30, 2020, Governor Cooper issued Executive Order 169, which transitioned the State to Phase 3 of the Reopening Plan ( "Phase 3 "). Phase 3 was subsequently extended by Executive Order 170 on October 21, 2020, by Executive Order 176 on November 10, 2020, by Executive Order 180 on November 23, 2020 (increasing face covering requirements) and by Executive Order 181 on December 8, 2020. Restrictions under Phase 3 currently include, but are not limited to: (1) large outdoor venues with seating greater than 10,000 may operate with 7% occupancy, (2) small outdoor venues may operate outdoors at 30% capacity or 100 guests, whichever is less, (3) movie theaters and conference centers can open indoor spaces to 30% capacity or 100 guests, whichever is less, (4) bars may operate outdoors at 30% capacity or 100 guests, whichever is less, (5) mass gatherings are limited to 50 people outdoors and 10 people indoors, (6) businesses and facilities such as personal care businesses and restaurants may operate at 50% capacity, subject to social distancing and cleaning requirements, and (7) a curfew during the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. each day, except travel for work, to obtain essential goods or services as outlined in Executive Order 181. Phase 3 can be modified at any time and will remain in place until at least January 8, 2021. Given the unpredictability of trends in the spread of COVID -19, the County cannot predict whether the State will lift or reinstate restrictions moving forward. The County applied for benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ( "CARES") Act and received $8,615,592 in CARES Act grant monies. Of such funds, the County distributed $2,153,898 to the City of Wilmington and the towns of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach. The funds are being used to respond to the virus and aid small businesses deeply impacted by the COVID -19 pandemic. Currently, the County has not experienced any material changes in its budgeted revenues or expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 (see "BUDGET COMMENTARY" in Appendix A hereto). However, the financial condition of the County could be affected by reduced tourism, reductions in new housing demand; due to increased unemployment in the future. Due to the dynamic nature of the COVID -19 outbreak, at this time the County cannot predict either the duration or extent of (1) the COVID -19 outbreak, (2) future actions governmental authorities or other institutions may take to contain or mitigate COVID -19's impact, or (3) whether either of the foregoing will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the County. CYBERSECURITY The County, like many other large public and private entities, relies on a large and complex technology environment to conduct its operations and faces multiple cybersecurity threats involving, but not limited to, hacking, phishing viruses, malware and other attacks on its computing and other digital networks and systems (collectively, "Systems Technology "). As a recipient and provider of personal, private, or sensitive information, the County may be the target of cybersecurity incidents that could result in adverse consequences to the County and its Systems Technology, requiring a response action to mitigate the consequences. 15 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 20 Cybersecurity incidents could result from unintentional events, or from deliberate attacks by unauthorized entities or individuals attempting to gain access to the County's Systems Technology for the purposes of misappropriating assets or information or causing operational disruption and damage. To mitigate the risk of business operations impact and/or damage from cybersecurity incidents or cyber- attacks, the County invests in multiple forms of cybersecurity and operational safeguards. While the County's cybersecurity and operational safeguards are periodically tested, no assurances can be given by the County that such measures will ensure against other cybersecurity threats and attacks. Cybersecurity breaches could cause material disruption to the County's finances or operations. The costs of remedying any such damage or obtaining insurance related thereto, or protecting against future attacks could be substantial and insurance (if any can be obtained), may not be adequate to cover such losses or other consequential County costs and expenses. Further, cybersecurity breaches could expose the County to material litigation and other legal risks, which could cause the County to incur material costs related to such legal claims or proceedings. CLIMATE CHANGE The County is susceptible to the effects of extreme weather events and natural disasters, including floods, droughts and hurricanes and has experienced multiple severe weather events within the past several years. These effects may be amplified by a prolonged global temperature increase over the next several decades (commonly referred to as "climate change "). No assurances can be given that a future extreme weather event driven by climate change will not adversely affect the County. BANKRUPTCY Under North Carolina law, a local governmental unit such as the County may not file for bankruptcy protection without (1) the consent of the LGC and (2) the satisfaction of the requirements of § 109(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. If the County were to initiate bankruptcy proceedings with the consent of the LGC and satisfy the requirements of 11 U.S.C. §109(c), the bankruptcy proceedings could have material and adverse effects on holders of the 2021 Bonds, including (a) delay in enforcement of their remedies, (b) subordination of their claims to claims of those supplying goods and services to the County after the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and to the administrative expenses of bankruptcy proceedings and (c) imposition without their consent of a plan of reorganization reducing or delaying payment of the 2021 Bonds. The effect of the other provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code on the rights and remedies of the holders of the 2021 Bonds cannot be predicted and may be affected significantly by judicial interpretation, general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and considerations of public policy. Regardless of any specific adverse determinations in a bankruptcy case of the County, the fact of such a bankruptcy case could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and value of the 2021 Bonds. THE CORPORATION The Corporation is organized under the North Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act (N.C.G.S. Chapter 55A -1 et seq., as amended, the "Act ") and is authorized under the Act to carry out the purposes set forth in its articles of incorporation. The Corporation was organized for the purpose of, among other things, assisting the County in carrying out its municipal and governmental functions through the financing, construction, operation, sale or lease of real estate, improvements and facilities such as the Facilities and to enter into agreements with the County and other relevant parties to facilitate such essential projects.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND LITIGATION The County is not aware of any contingent liabilities which, in the opinion of the County Attorney, would materially affect the County's ability to meet its financial obligations. LEGAL MATTERS LITIGATION No litigation is now pending or, to the best of the County's knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the County which seeks to restrain or enjoin the authorization, execution or delivery of the 2021 Bonds or which contests the County's creation, organization or corporate existence, or the title of any of the present officers thereof to their respective offices or the authority or proceedings for the County's authorization, execution and delivery of the Contract, or the County's authority to carry out its obligations thereunder or which would have a material adverse impact on the County's condition, financial or otherwise.

OPINIONS OF COUNSEL Legal matters related to the execution, sale and delivery of the 2021 Bonds are subject to the approval of, and Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Bond Counsel. The opinion of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as Bond Counsel, substantially in the form set forth in Appendix D hereto, will be [IVA Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 22 delivered at the time of the delivery of the 2021 Bonds. Certain legal matters will be passed on for the County by Wanda Copley, Esq.; for the Corporation by its counsel, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP; and for the Underwriters by their counsel, Holland & Knight LLP. Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP is serving as Bond Counsel and counsel to the Corporation and, from time to time it and Holland & Knight LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, have represented the Underwriters as counsel in other financing transactions. Neither the County, the Corporation, nor the Underwriters have conditioned the future employment of either of these firms in connection with any proposed financing issues for the County, the Corporation or for the Underwriters on the successful execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds. TAX TREATMENT GENERAL On the date of execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as Bond Counsel, will render an opinion that, under existing law (1) assuming compliance by the County with certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), (a) the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (b) is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax, and (2) the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds is exempt from State of North Carolina income taxation. The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion of interest on obligations, such as the 2021 Bonds, from gross income for federal income tax purposes, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the County rebate certain excess earnings on proceeds and amounts treated as proceeds of the 2021 Bonds to the United States Treasury, restrictions on the investment of such proceeds and other amounts, and restrictions on the ownership and use of the facilities financed or refinanced with proceeds of the 2021 Bonds. The foregoing is not intended to be an exhaustive listing of the post- issuance tax compliance requirements of the Code, but is illustrative of the requirements that must be satisfied by the County subsequent to execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds to maintain the excludability of the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel's opinion is given in reliance on certifications by representatives of the County as to certain facts material to the opinion and the requirements of the Code. The County has covenanted to comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds in order that the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes compliance by the County with such covenants, and Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance by the County with such covenants subsequent to the date of execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds. No other opinion is expressed by Bond Counsel regarding the federal tax consequences of the ownership of or the receipt or accrual of interest with respect to the 2021 Bonds. If the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds subsequently becomes included in gross income for federal income tax purposes due to a failure by the County to comply with any requirements described above, the Contract does not require the County to prepay the 2021 Bonds or to pay any additional interest or penalty. r" Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 23 The Internal Revenue Service has established an ongoing program to audit tax - exempt obligations to determine whether interest on such obligations is includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel cannot predict whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the 2021 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the 2021 Bonds are advised that, if the Internal Revenue Service does audit the 2021 Bonds, under current Internal Revenue Service procedures, at least during the early stages of an audit, the Internal Revenue Service will treat the County as the taxpayer, and the owners of the 2021 Bonds may have limited rights, if any, to participate in such audit. The commencement of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the 2021 Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Prospective purchasers of the 2021 Bonds should be aware that ownership of the 2021 Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property or casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain Subchapter S Corporations with "excess net passive income," foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, life insurance companies, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry the 2021 Bonds. Bond Counsel does not express any opinion as to any such collateral tax consequences. Prospective purchasers of the 2021 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the collateral tax consequences. Proposed legislation is considered from time to time by the United States Congress that, if enacted, would affect the tax consequences of owning the 2021 Bonds. No assurance can be given that any future legislation, or clarifications or amendments to the Code, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions which could cause the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds to be subject directly or indirectly to federal or State of North Carolina income taxation, adversely affect the market price or marketability of the 2021 Bonds or otherwise prevent the owners of the 2021 Bonds from realizing the full current benefit of the status of the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that, under existing law, the interest component of the Installment Payments with respect to the 2021 Bonds is exempt from State of North Carolina income taxation. Bond Counsel's opinion is based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinion is further based on factual representations made to Bond Counsel as of the date thereof. Bond Counsel assumes no duty to update or supplement its opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to Bond Counsel's attention, or to reflect any changes in law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a particular result, and is not binding on the IRS or the courts; rather, such opinion represents Bond Counsel's professional judgment based on its review of existing law, and in reliance on the representations and covenants that Bond Counsel deems relevant to such opinion. Bond Counsel's opinion expresses the professional judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinion regarding the legal issues expressly addressed therein. By rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel does not become an insurer or guarantor of the result indicated by that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction on which the opinion is rendered, or of the future performance of the County, nor does the rendering of such opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT As indicated on the inside cover page, the 2021 Bonds maturing on August 1 , inclusive (collectively, the "OID Bonds "), are being sold at initial offering prices which are less than the principal amount payable at maturity. Under the Code, the difference between (a) the initial offering prices to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial amount of each maturity of the OID IN Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 24 Bonds is sold and (b) the principal amount payable at maturity of such OID Bonds, constitutes original issue discount treated as interest which will be excluded from the gross income of the owners of such OID Bonds for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an owner of an OID Bond, the amount of original issue discount on such OID Bond is treated as having accrued daily over the term of such OID Bond on the basis of a constant yield compounded at the end of each accrual period and is added to the owner's cost basis of such OID Bond in determining, for federal income tax purposes, the gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of such OID Bond (including its sale, redemption or payment at maturity). Amounts received upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of an OID Bond which are attributable to accrued original issue discount on such OID Bonds will be treated as interest exempt from gross income, rather than as a taxable gain, for federal income tax purposes, and will not be a specific item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. However, it should be noted that the original issue discount that accrues to an owner of an OID Bond may result in other collateral federal income tax consequences for certain taxpayers in the year of accrual. Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually at a rate determined by reference to the yield to maturity of each individual OID Bond. The amount treated as original issue discount on an OID Bond for a particular semiannual accrual period is equal to (a) the product of (i) the yield to maturity for such OID Bond (determined by compounding at the close of each accrual period) and (ii) the amount which would have been the tax basis of such OID Bond at the beginning of the particular accrual period if held by the original purchaser, less (b) the amount of interest payable on such OID Bond during the particular accrual period. The tax basis is determined by adding to the initial public offering price on such OID Bond the sum of the amounts which have been treated as original issue discount for such purposes during all prior accrual periods. If an OID Bond is sold between semiannual compounding dates, original issue discount which would have accrued for that semiannual compounding period for federal income tax purposes is to be appointed in equal amounts among the days in such compounding period. The Code contains additional provisions relating to the accrual of original issue discount in the case of owners of the OID Bonds who subsequently purchase any OID Bonds after the initial offering or at a price different from the initial offering price during the initial offering of the 2021 Bonds. Owners of OID Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for federal and state income tax purposes of the amount of original issue discount accrued upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of an OID Bond as of any date and with respect to other federal, state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of an OID Bond. It is possible that under the applicable provisions governing the determination of state or local taxes, accrued original issue discount on an OID Bond may be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even though there will not be a corresponding cash payment attributable to such original issue discount until a later year. ORIGINAL ISSUE PREMIUM As indicated on the inside cover page, the 2021 Bonds maturing on August 1, , inclusive (collectively, the "Premium Bonds "), are being sold at initial offering prices which are in excess of the principal amount payable at maturity. The difference between (a) the initial offering prices to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial amount of the Premium Bonds is sold and (b) the principal amount payable at maturity of such Premium Bonds constitutes original issue premium, which original issue premium is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an owner of a Premium Bond, however, the amount of the original issue premium which is treated as having accrued over the term of such Premium Bond is reduced from the owner's cost basis of such Premium Bond in determining, for federal income tax purposes, the taxable gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of such Premium Bond (whether upon its sale, redemption or payment at maturity). Owners of Premium Bonds should consult their tax advisors with respect to the determination, for federal K11 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 25 income tax purposes, of the "adjusted basis" of such Premium Bonds upon any sale or disposition and with respect to any state or local tax consequences of owning a Premium Bond.

For purposes of this undertaking, "financial obligation" means (a) a debt obligation, (b) a derivative instrument entered into in connection with, or pledged as security or a source of payment for, an existing or planned debt obligation, or (c) a guarantee of either clause (a) or (b) above. The term "financial obligation" shall not include municipal securities as to which a final official statement has been provided to the MSRB consistent with the Rule. The County agrees in the Third Amendment that its undertaking described above is intended to be for the benefit of the Owners and the beneficial owners of the 2021 Bonds and is enforceable by the Trustee or by any of them, including an action for specific performance of the County's obligations described above, but a failure to comply will not be an Event of Default under the Contract and will not result in acceleration of the principal component of Installment Payments. An action must be instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided in the Third Amendment for the benefit of all of the Owners and beneficial owners of the 2021 Bonds. At present, Section 159 -34 of the General Statutes of North Carolina requires the County's financial statements to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and to be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

Any annual financial information containing modified operating data or financial information will explain, in narrative form, the reasons for the modification and the impact of the change in the type of operating data or financial information being provided.

UNDERWRITING The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the 2021 Bonds at a purchase price that reflects an Underwriters' discount of $ . The Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the 2021 Bonds if any are taken. The Underwriters may offer and sell the 2021 Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the 2021 Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices different from the initial public offering prices stated on the inside cover page hereof. The public offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Underwriters. PNC Capital Markets LLC and PNC Bank, National Association are both wholly -owned subsidiaries of PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. PNC Capital Markets LLC is not a bank, and is a distinct legal entity from PNC Bank, National Association. PNC Bank, National Association has banking and financial relationships with the County. [Disclosure on Co- Manager] RATINGS Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ( "Moody's ") and S &P Global Ratings, a business unit of Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC ( "S &P "), have assigned independent underlying ratings of " " and " ," respectively, to the 2021 Bonds. Such ratings reflect only the view of Moody's and S &P at the time the ratings were given, and neither the County nor the Underwriters make any representations as to the appropriateness of such ratings. 23 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 28 The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the 2021 Bonds and should be evaluated independently. There is no assurance that such ratings will not be withdrawn or revised downward by Moody's or S &P. Any such action may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 2021 Bonds. Neither the County nor the Underwriters have undertaken any responsibility after the execution and delivery of the 2021 Bonds to assure maintenance of the ratings or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. FINANCIAL ADVISOR First Tryon Advisors has served as financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor ") to the County with respect to the sale of the 2021 Bonds. The Financial Advisor's fee for services rendered with respect to the sale of the 2021 Bonds is contingent on the issuance and delivery of the 2021 Bonds. The Financial Advisor is not obligated to undertake, and has not undertaken, either to make an independent verification of or to assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the information contained in this Official Statement and the appendices thereto.

The 2021 Bonds will be issued as fully- registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully- registered bond will be issued for each maturity of the 2021 Bonds, in the aggregate principal component amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE 2021 Bonds, AS DTC's PARTNERSHIP NOMINEE, REFERENCE HEREIN TO THE OWNERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE 2021 Bonds SHALL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND SHALL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE 2021 Bonds. DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a limited - purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non -U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ( "Direct Participants ") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of the 2021 Bonds. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC'). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ( "Indirect Participants "). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating: of AA +. The DTC rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of 2021 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the 2021 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of the 2021 Bonds ( "Beneficial Owner ") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests with respect to the 2021 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive bonds representing their ownership interests in 2021 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the 2021 Bonds is discontinued. E -1 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 36 To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 2021 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of 2021 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 2021 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such 2021 Bonds arc credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of 2021 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the 2021 Bonds, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of 2021 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the 2021 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Prepayment notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the 2021 Bonds within an issue are being prepaid, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be prepaid. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to 2021 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Trustee as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts 2021 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). BECAUSE DTC IS TREATED AS THE OWNER OF THE 2021 BONDS FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL PURPOSES UNDER THE INDENTURE, BENEFICIAL OWNERS MAY HAVE A RESTRICTED ABILITY TO INFLUENCE IN A TIMELY FASHION REMEDIAL ACTION OR THE GIVING OR WITHHOLDING OF REQUESTED CONSENTS OR OTHER DIRECTIONS. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE THE IDENTITY OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS IS UNKNOWN TO THE COMMISSION, TO THE COUNTY, TO DTC OR TO THE TRUSTEE, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION OF POTENTIAL INTEREST TO BENEFICIAL OWNERS IN AN EFFECTIVE AND TIMELY MANNER. BENEFICIAL OWNERS SHOULD MAKE APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THEIR BROKER OR DEALER REGARDING DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2021 BONDS THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED BY OR THROUGH DTC. E -2 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 37 Prepayment proceeds, distributions, and Installment Payments on the 2021 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Trustee, on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, the County or the Commission, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of prepayment proceeds, distributions, and Installment Payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the Trustee's responsibility; disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. THE COMMISSION AND THE COUNTY CANNOT AND DO NOT GIVE ASSURANCE THAT DIRECT AND INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS WILL PROMPTLY TRANSFER PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIAL OWNERS. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the 2021 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Commission, the County and the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, 2021 Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Commission or the County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry -only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).

E -3 #80327106v5 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 20- 7 - 38 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 1/19/2021 Regular DEPARTMENT: Planning PRESENTER(S): Brad Schuler, Senior Planner CONTACT(S): Brad Schuler; Ron Meredith, Current Planner; and Rebekah Roth, Interim Planning and Land Use Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z20 -16) - Request by Hodges, Coxe, & Potter, LLP on Behalf of Property Owners, Stephen Clossick and WBP, LLC, to Rezone Approximately 2.3 Acres of Land Located at 7775 Market Street from (CUD) O &I, Conditional Use Office and Institutional District, to (CZD) B -2, Conditional Regional Business District, in Order to Develop a Boat Dealer and Vehicle Sales Business BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property, approximately 2.3 acres from a (CU D) 0&1 district to (CZD) B -2 to allow a vehicle and boat sales business. The subject site is located at 7775 Market Street between CubeSmart Storage and the Sound Cat Veterinary Hospital. The subject site is currently undeveloped and contains one specimen tree, which will be retained as reflected on the proposed site plan. The northern parcel within the existing (CUD) 0&1 zoning district has been developed (The Sound Cat Veterinary Hospital). The applicant is proposing to construct a one -story, 10,500 square foot office building with associated parking and landscaping on the subject site. The building is proposed to serve primarily as an office building, showroom, and service area for the applicant's vehicle and boat sales business (Battleship Marine). The project will be designed with interconnectivity to the adjacent veterinary hospital. Vehicles will enter and exit on the northern side of the property through a driveway shared with the veterinary hospital that connects to Alexander Road (SR 1345). Once the Market Street Median Project is completed in 2023, motorists will still have the option to utilize Alexander Road when entering the site from Northbound Market Street with a traffic signal for the left movement only. When exiting the site using Alexander Road, motorists will be limited to a right hand turning movement. Any modification to the existing driveway will be considered at the time of review by NCDOT during the driveway permitting process. As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 26 -27 trips in the peak hours. The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately 28 trips in the AM peak hour and 38 trips in the PM peak hour. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), but the increase in peak hour trips is not expected to have a significant impact. The site is located along a major corridor between two existing commercial businesses. The proposed development will share access with the adjacent veterinary office from an existing driveway on Alexander Road and will have no impact on the school system. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as Community Mixed Use. The proposed conditional zoning district is generally CONSISTENT with the plan because it would provide for a lower intensity commercial use in a transitional Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 21 area between higher intensity nodes (Ogden and Porters Neck). In addition, this type of commercial use is compatible with adjacent office and commercial service uses. The Planning Board considered this application at their November S, 2020 meeting. No members of the public spoke in opposition to, or in favor of, the request. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (4 -0), finding the application to be: CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type. In addition, these uses would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. The Planning Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is adjacent to existing commercial uses, the use would have limited traffic impacts, and approval supports the success of an existing small business. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B -2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type. In addition, these uses would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is adjacent to existing commercial uses, the use would have limited traffic impacts, and approval supports the success of an existing small business. Alternative Motion for Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B -2 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval as presented by staff. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5 -0. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 21 SCRIPT for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z20 -16) Request by Hodges, Coxe, & Potter, LLP on behalf of property owners, Stephen Clossick and WBP, LLC, to rezone approximately 2.3 acres of land located at 7775 Market Street from (CUD) O &I, Conditional Use Office and Institutional District, to (CZD) B -2, Conditional Regional Business District, in order to develop a boat dealer and vehicle sales business. 1 .

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 of Approval I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B -2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type. In addition, these uses would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is adjacent to existing commercial uses, the use would have limited traffic impacts, and approval supports the success of an existing small business. [Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district. Example Motion of Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B -2 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

The applicant has designed a site plan that retains the specimen Live Oak tree on site. • The applicant's proposed conceptual plan includes a 10,500 square foot building, 50,535 square feet of parking lot area (including a gravel parking area), and 2,685 square feet of concrete, for a total impervious area of 63,720 square feet. • The subject site and adjacent property received approval for an underground infiltration system to treat stormwater runoff based on the May 2004 site plan. Any increase to the impervious area would need to be accounted for within the stormwater system and would require a modification to County and State stormwater permits. A full review of the stormwater requirements would be conducted during the Technical Review Committee (TRC) review process. • The applicant is proposing to use some of the proposed parking spaces for boat display. The applicant will be required to meet the minimum parking standard outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) excluding what has been used for display purposes, which will be verified during the Technical Review Committee (TRC) review. ress L_ - - - -- Fenced Service 1, and Boat v Parking Area 1 - - ° �Iequired Existing 41" Specimen Live Oak Tree (to be preserved) P~ �- — Existing Veterinarian Hospital Buildin r41 I I _ I Existing Parkin Proposed S aces aM1� Above: Applicant's Conceptual Plan with Staff Markups Z20 -16 Staff Report BOC 1.19.2021 Page 4 of 14 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 21- 2 - 4 ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property, approximately 2.3 acres from a (CUD) 0&1 district to (CZD) B -2 district to allow a vehicle and boat sales business. • The subject site is located at 7775 Market Street between CubeSmart Storage and the Sound Cat Veterinary Hospital. • The site is located to the north of the Middle Sound/Lendire commercial and service node and to the south of the Porters Neck commercial and service node. • This area contains several commercial businesses as seen on the map below. • The subject site is currently undeveloped and contains one specimen tree, which will be retained as reflected on the proposed site plan. • The northern parcel within the existing (CUD) 0&1 zoning district has been developed (The Sound Cat Veterinarian Hospital). - -..

The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately 28 trips in the AM peak hour and 38 trips in the PM peak hour. This is an increase of about 5 -10 peak trips when compared to the current zoning. When including the adjacent veterinarian office (which will share access with the proposed development), it is estimated that about 45 -55 trips will be generated from the site during the peak hours. • The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). • Because a TIA is not required to analyze transportation impacts, Staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for Market Street near the subject site. While volume to capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway.

Description Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi - family and single - family residential. The subject property is located along Market Street between two existing commercial service uses, a veterinary hospital and self- storage facility, and immediately abuts residential properties to the northwest. Like other properties along Market Street in this area — between the Porters Neck and Middle Sound/Lendire commercial and service nodes, it is designated as a Community Mixed Use place type. Analysis This designation is commonly applied to major roadway corridors to encourage their revitalization through infill and redevelopment and provide a transition to lower density residential properties located away from the roadway. The proposed conditional zoning district would provide for retail vehicle and boat sales, a lower intensity commercial use that can be appropriate in this type of transitional area between higher intensity nodes. This type of commercial use is compatible with adjacent office and commercial service uses. The proposed conditional rezoning to allow vehicle and boat sales is generally CONSISTENT with the goals of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Consistency because it provides for appropriate infill development in a transitional area Recommendation between two higher intensity commercial and service nodes and provides an appropriate transition between Market Street and adjacent single family neighborhoods.

Conditional Zoning District Considerations The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and the community at- large. She applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional Zoning district meets the following criteria. 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's policies for growth and development, as described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc. The proposed use is consistent with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's policy to encourage the revitalization of commercial corridors and infill development on vacant or blighted areas. The proposed use will allow the development of previously underutilized property along a major commercial corridor. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property's classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. The site is designated as "Community Mixed Use" in the Plan. The requested Conditional Zoning district promotes the success of local businesses, as the proposed use of the property as a vehic and boat dealership is consistent with regional economic development, due to New Hanover County's unique location near the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean. I What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? The subject property is located on a portion of Market Street that has recently seen the development of more commercial properties designed to benefit the surrounding residential areas. Many nearby properties, including the parcel directly to the south of the subject property, are zoned B -2. The proposed use will be consistent with recent developments along this busy road.

Dupree Heirs (Karen Coley) and Edward Foyles Heirs (Lewis Hines), to Rezone Approximately 2.22 Acres of Land Located at 7036 and 7038 Market Street, from R -15, Residential District, to (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, in Order to Develop a General Retail Sales and Personal Service Establishment BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is seeking to rezone approximately 2.22 acres from R -15, Residential District, to (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, in order to develop a general retail sales and personal service establishment. The conceptual plan indicates that the principal structure will be a one -story 16,000 square foot building, which is comprised of 10,000 square feet for a retail furniture business and showroom and 6,000 square feet of miscellaneous retail or personal services. A one -story 5,000 square foot warehouse serving as storage for furniture stock associated with the furniture retail component is also proposed. The existing zoning (R -15) allows the site to be used for residential uses. Currently, the site is undeveloped. Under the County's performance residential standards, the current zoning would allow a maximum of five dwelling units at a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed conditional zoning would allow the property to be used for general retail sales and general personal service uses, both of which are allowed by -right in the CB district. As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 6 -8 trips in the peak hours. The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately 16 trips in the AM peak hour and 39 trips in the PM peak hour, a net increase of about 8 AM and 33 PM peak hour trips when compared to current zoning. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic I mpact Analysis (TIA). The property is located along the Market Street corridor, adjacent to existing commercial uses. The site abuts single - family homes to the east and south, and an additional single - family home along Market Street to the southwest. The development would be required to meet all screening and landscaping requirements of the UDO, which includes an opaque buffer where the development abuts residential property. One of the goals of the New Hanover County Strategic Plan for 2018 -2023 is to encourage the development of complete communities in the unincorporated county by increasing housing diversity and access to basic goods and services. As detached single family homes typical in R -15 zoning districts are the predominant housing type and make up 92% of residential units in the Ogden community area, the conversion of these properties to commercial zoning will not decrease housing diversity. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as Urban Mixed Use. The proposed rezoning for the retail sales and Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 22 personal services use with accessory warehouse is generally CONSISTENT with the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type. The Planning Board considered this application at their November S, 2020 meeting. No members of the public spoke in opposition to, or in favor of, the request. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (4 -0), finding the application to be: CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. The Planning Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request to be reasonable and in the public interest because the site is in close proximity to the Military Cutoff Extension and existing commercial services; therefore, it is unlikely that a new single family residence will be constructed on the site. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is in close proximity to the Military Cutoff Extension and existing commercial services; therefore, it is unlikely that a new single family residence will be constructed on the site. [Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district. Alternative Motion for Denial: I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) CB district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval as presented by staff. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5 -0. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 22 SCRIPT for Conditional Zoning District Application (Z20 -20) Request by Design Solutions on behalf of the property owners, Edna F. Dupree Heirs (Karen Coley) and Edward Foyles Heirs (Lewis Hines), to rezone approximately 2.22 acres of land located at 7036 and 7038 Market Street, from R -15, Residential District, to (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, in order to develop a general retail sales and personal service establishment. 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 additional 5 minutes for rebuttal. 2. Conduct Hearing, as follows: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant's presentation (up to 15 minutes) c. Opponent's presentation (up to 15 minutes) d. Applicant's rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) e. Opponent's rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) 3. Close the public hearing 4. Board discussion 5. 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 of Approval I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is in close proximity to the Military Cutoff Extension and existing commercial services; therefore, it is unlikely that a new single family residence will be constructed on the site.

The application indicates that the use of the subject property will be a one -story 16,000 square foot structure, which includes 10,000 square feet for a retail furniture business and showroom and 6,000 square feet of miscellaneous retail or personal services. A one -story 5,000 square foot warehouse serving as storage for furniture stock associated with the furniture retail component is also proposed. According to the applicant, the warehouse is intended to store customer orders for pick -up and /or delivery. Z20 -20 Staff Report BOC 1. 19.2021 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 22- 2 - 2 Page 2 of 14 • The conceptual plan shows the main 16,000 square foot building toward the front of the property facing Market Street, with parking to the side. The warehouse and loading area are located immediately behind the principal structure, and the proposed stormwater management area is located to the rear of the property. • The subject site is located on Market Street where future NCDOT improvements are planned as part of the Military Cutoff Extension project. To anticipate these improvements, the applicant has designed the site to reflect the completion of that project, which is expected by early 2023. Additional information is provided in the Transportation section of this report.

Maximum height may not exceed 3 stories or 45 feet, though the structure proposed is one - story. • Since its original zoning designation in 1972, this portion of the county and Market Street corridor have experienced a gradual shift from the original R -1 5 zoning to more commercial districts and uses, a trend that is expected to continue.

One driveway is proposed off of Market Street, which would be converted into a controlled access driveway (right -in, right -out) once the Military Cutoff Extension project is complete. No other access to the site is proposed. • A by -right residential development on the site under the current zoning (R -15) would allow up to five dwelling units, which is estimated to generate about 8 trips in the AM and 6 trips in the PM peak hours. • Under the proposed (CZD) CB zoning, approximately 16,000 square feet of commercial space and 5,000 square feet of storage would be constructed on the site, which is anticipated to generate approximately 16 vehicular trips in the AM peak hour, and approximately 39 trips in the PM peak hour. The net difference in traffic would be an increase of 8 AM and 33 PM peak trips when compared to current zoning.

Provision of convenience needs at this location is unlikely to increase access for the community's residents. • As detached single family homes typical in R -1 5 zoning districts are the predominant housing type and make up 92% of residential units in the Ogden community area, the conversion of these properties to commercial zoning will not decrease housing diversity.

These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be Future Land Use Urban Mixed Use Map Place Type Promotes development of a mix of residential, office, and retail uses at Place Type higher densities. Types of uses encouraged include office, retail, mixed use, Description small recreation, commercial, institutional, single - family, and multi - family residential. The subject site is located at the eastern edge of an area that the Comprehensive Plan ultimately envisions as an Urban Mixed Use place that would provide goods and services for nearby residents and the larger community. This designation was applied to the area near Gordon /Market and Military Cutoff Extension /Market intersections because of the existing commercial development pattern and high traffic volume. This designation anticipates the gradual conversion of residential properties along the Analysis Market Street corridor to commercial and mixed use projects. The site is immediately adjacent to existing commercial to the northeast along Market St. and existing single - family residential to the north and south and west. The proposed conditional retail sales and personal services uses with accessory warehouse is consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be appropriate in an Urban Mixed Use place type and, as lower traffic generators, would also serve as an appropriate transition away from the higher intensity roadway intersections to the west. Consistency Recommendation The proposed rezoning for the retail sales and personal services use with accessory warehouse is generally CONSISTENT with the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type.

No members of the public spoke in opposition to, or in favor of, the request. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (4 -0), finding the application to be: CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. The Planning Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request to be reasonable and in the public interest because the site is in close proximity to the Military Cutoff Extension and existing commercial services; therefore, it is unlikely that a new single family residence will be constructed on the site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type, as it is located in an area that the plan ultimately envisions as Urban Mixed Use that would provide goods and services for nearby residents. Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is in close proximity to the Military Cutoff Extension and existing commercial services; therefore, it is unlikely that a new single family residence will be constructed on the site. Alternative Motion for Denial: I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) CB district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are consistent with the types of commercial uses that would be encouraged in the Urban Mixed Use place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

Conditional Zoning District Considerations The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and the community at- large. The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional Zoning district meets the following criteria. 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's policies for growth and development, as described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc. THE POLICIES FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ENCOURAGE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO ATTRACT AND MAINTAIN BUSINESSES. THE PETITIONER HAS OPERATED A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE HERE IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT CURRENTLY OCCUPIES A LEASED SPACE. THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM LEASED SPACE. THE PROPERTY IS ALONG A MAJOR COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR WHERE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ARE MOST CONVENIENT. SUSTAINABILITY OF THE COUNTY DEPENDS ON SENSIBLE IN -FILL AND MAXIMIZING USE OF LANDS ALREADY ACCESSIBLE TO SERVICES. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property's classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. THE TRACT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS A "COMMUNITY MIXED -USE" PLACE -TYPE. THE PLAN SUGGESTS HIGHER DENSITIES AND MORE INTENSIVE USES TO SUPPORT THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS AN ACCEPTIBLE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE BUSY HIGHWAY CORRIDOR AND THE MORE ESTABLISHED SINGLE - FAMILY HOUSING BESIDE & BEHIND IT, 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? MARKET STREET (U.S. HWY. 17) IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE OF THE COMMUNITY. SINGLE - FAMILY RESIDENCES ARE MUCH LESS ATTRACTIVE ALONG BUSY TRAFFIC CORRIDORS. TRANSITION OF USES IS AN ACCEPTABLE PLANNING STRATEGY.

With removal of the vegetation and replacement with impervious surface, the stormwater plan MUST take into consideration downstream flow and as this is a special use permit, any modification to the property MUST insure that downstream runoff from this property will be ZERO even for a 100 year storm. Steven H. Everhart, PhD MAJ (Ret.) USA Medical Service Corps 1701 Canady Rd. Wilmington, NC 28411 910 - 262 -2442 severhart(@ec.rr.com Dr. Everhart, Thank you for your comments. When I link to the notice it includes the site plan on page two, but I attached a copy for your convenience. Detailed stormwater design and permitting will certainly take into consideration ALL aspects of the pre- / post- drainage conditions and downstream flow — as per the current regulations. Your contact will be logged in the report included with the future submittal. Regards, Cindee Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 22- 7 - 12 ATTN: Cindee Wolf My husband and I have received the correspondence dated 15 Sept 2020 advising what is planned for the properties: 7036 & 7038 Market Street in Wilmington NC. We appreciate you sharing the proposed plans and we wanted to convey that we are not supporting the current plans that show a retention pond at the rear of the properties and the parking lot of the proposed businesses facing our adjacent residential property at 7034 Market Street. We find that having a parking lot directly placed next to the residence increases the level of crime, lighting and noise levels and so that the parking lot should be planned to be adjacent to the existing shops and its parking lot to the north of the properties. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Shirlene Spicer spicermuse @gmail.com Mrs. Spicer, Thank you for your comments. I have attached an updated plan on which we've mirrored the layout. The building will now be along your common border — not the parking area. There is also a 20' planted buffer required along that entire boundary. All existing trees that can be preserved must be, and then the area will have evergreen shrubbery added to screen the building. Additionally, there really won't be a "pond" — something with standing water. This area has soils adequate for groundwater infiltration. One option is to incorporate infiltration basins under the parking lot pavement. The other is more like a depression in the ground. When it rains, it may be wet for a period of time until it seeps in. Otherwise, it stays dry. I will include your contact information and comments on the report that gets submitted along with the rezoning petition. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you have additional questions.

An exhibit of the site layout is attached. This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the project and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits, and impacts. Due to the current COVID -19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of that, you can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at: Telephone: 910 - 620 -2374, or Email: cwolf(@lobodemar.biz We can also set up an on -line meeting for a forum with multiple parties if requested. Please let me know if you are interested in that alternative and arrangements will be made. All contact, comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the County along with the rezoning application. Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public hearings for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal. We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 22- 7 - 18 V- 11111(h .4kk x Qo ec OQ 15,000 s.f.

According to the applicant, the existing lots adjacent to the subject property will be extended to the creeks and canals that connect to Smith Creek, and no additional lots will be added to the subdivision if this rezoning is approved. The subject property contains both swamp forest and brackish marsh. Due to these environmental features, additional restrictions have been placed on development, including a conservation easement that encompasses the entire property. The purpose of the conservation easement is to maintain wetland and /or riparian resources and other natural values within the area and to prevent the use or development of the area. In addition, the County's performance residential standards do not allow marshlands to be included within the net area of subdivisions when determining the maximum units allowed for the development. The area that could be used for net area would be determined if a modification of the existing subdivision plat were proposed. However, it would be unlikely to result in a significant change to the existing subdivision as 123 lots have been platted and roadway infrastructure has been installed. The applicant excluded approximately 5 acres of the 1 -2 zoning designation on the subject property from this request in order to limit potential impacts and additional regulations on the adjacent remaining industrial land, as under current county zoning regulations, industrial uses next to residential land are subject to additional structure setbacks. The areas where the proposed residential zoning abuts industrial land generally consist of environmental constraints similar to the subject site, making any potential industrial development more likely to be closer to Castle Hayne Road and to exceed any required setback from the new R -15 district. As no additional lots are being created or added to the subdivision, the estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed request is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). In addition, the request is not expected to generate any additional trips outside of those generated by the Preservation Point residents and guests. As a result of the conservation easement placed on the subject property, the area is required to be maintained in its Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 23 natural, scenic, and open condition. Due to the easement restrictions, this expansion of land area within the Preservation Point Subdivision will have no impact on traffic or the school system as no additional lots will be created nor will development take place in the area. I n addition, the proposed zoning boundary was designed to limit potential negative impacts on the use of adjacent properties. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as Conservation. The proposed R -15 rezoning, in conjunction with the conservation easement on file for the subject property, is generally CONSISTENT with the goals of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2, Heavy Industrial zoning, would not allow additional residential units to be built in this area, and would protect the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats. The Planning Board considered this application at the December 3, 2020 meeting. No one from the public spoke in opposition to, or in favor of, the proposal. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (5 -0), finding it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site. The Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the request removes an industrial zoning designation from land that is environmentally sensitive and offers increased protection to the adjacent residential property and wetlands. In addition, the boundary of the proposed rezoning was designed to limit additional regulations on the adjacent remaining industrial property. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to an R -15 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the request removes an industrial zoning designation from land that is environmentally sensitive and offers increased protection to the adjacent residential property and wetlands. In addition, the boundary of the proposed rezoning was designed to limit additional regulations on the adjacent remaining industrial property. Example Motion for Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to an R -15 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent properties.

Later that same year, the area to the northwest of the subject site was rezoned to a Conditional Use R -15 district and a Special Use Permit was issued for a community boating facility located in the Northeast Cape Fear River consisting of 98 boat slips (Z17 -09). • Following the approval of the community boating facility, the area to the northeast of the subject site was rezoned from 1 -2 to R -15 and B -2 in 2019 to expand the development, establish an additional access point, and provide commercial uses to the Preservation Point residents and surrounding community. Below. Subject Site and the Adjacent Subdivision. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property, approximately 71 .36 acres, south of the Preservation Point Subdivision from 1 -2 to R -15 in order to include it within the subdivision, as residential uses are not permitted in the 1 -2 district. According to the applicant, the existing lots adjacent to the subject property will be extended to the creeks and canals that connect to Smith Creek, and no additional lots will be added to the subdivision if this rezoning is approved. • The conservation resource map indicates that the subject property contains both swamp forest and brackish marsh. Due to these environmental features, additional restrictions have been placed on development, including a conservation easement that encompasses the entire property. • According to the Conservation Declaration, the purpose of the conservation easement ( "area ") is to maintain wetland and /or riparian resources and other natural values within the area and to prevent the use or development of the area. The Conservation Declaration does, however, exempt the construction and related use to the boardwalk, kayak /canoe launches, and boat slip accesses that are associated with the community boating facility and amenity island for the subdivision. The conservation easement does not restrict the public from accessing navigable waters of the United States or any surface waters within the area.

In addition, there is a point of egress using Brentwood Drive (SR 1 31 3) which connects to Castle Hayne Road approximately 900 feet to the north of the entrance to the subdivision. Z20 -22 Staff Report BOC 1. 19.2021 Page 5 of 13 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 23- 2 - 5 • As no additional lots are being created or added to the subdivision, the estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed request is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). In addition, the request is not expected to generate any additional trips outside of those generated by the Preservation Point residents and guests. • Because a TIA is not required to analyze transportation impacts, Staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for Castle Hayne Road near the subject site. While volume to capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway. However, the available volume to capacity data indicates capacity currently exists in this area. NCDOT Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) - 2019 Road Location Volume Capacity V/C Castle Hayne Road 1600 Block (south of 13,000 16,700 0.78 Brentwood Drive) • A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Preservation Point Subdivision was approved by NCDOT and the WMPO in August 2019. Per the approved TIA, Phase 1 will consist of 123 single - family detached residential dwellings (including the existing 98 lots approved in 2017) and 27 multi - family attached residential dwellings. The full build out of the site (2023) will consist of the above mentioned residential dwellings, a 5,000 square foot day care center, a 3,000 square foot high- turnover sit -down restaurant, a 2,000 square foot coffee /donut shop with drive -thru uses, and a small office building for 20 employees. These nonresidential uses will be located in the commercial zoned land at the front of the subdivision adjacent to Castle Hayne Road. • The TIA required the developer to install roadway improvements including a driveway at the entrance of the subdivision with one lane for ingress and left- and right -turn lanes for egress. The developer is currently in the process of constructing these improvements, which must be installed prior to the development being completed. Prior to the commercial uses being developed, a right -turn lane at the intersection of Castle Hayne Road and Division Drive will be required.

The vast majority of the subject property contains brackish marsh, which is subject to the standards of the conservation resources. • The property is located within the Northeast Cape Fear River Floodplain, a Natural Heritage Area. This Natural Heritage Area is classified as exceptional, meaning it may contain at minimum 10 rare plant and animal species. • The property is within the Smith Creek (C; Sw) watershed. • Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the property consist of Class IV (unsuitable). However, Preservation Point will be served by public water and sewer. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS CONTEXT AND COMPATABILITY • The property is located along "Old" Castle Hayne Road, a local road that has direct access to Castle Hayne Road, which is identified as Minor Arterial road on the WMPO Functional Classification Map. • The subject property has been placed into a conservation easement to preserve the wetlands and riparian resources and to prohibit development within its boundaries. In addition, the area is required to be maintained in its natural, scenic, and open condition further aligning the site with the Comprehensive Plans goal for the Conservation place type. Please refer to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan section included in this report. • Due to the environmental features that exist on the site, additional restrictions apply that place protections for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats and prohibit any development of the site. • This rezoning request is not expected to increase the number of trips generated along the adjacent roadways because no additional lots are proposed to be created. • Approximately 71 acres of 1 -2, Heavy Industrial zoned land is being removed from New Hanover County's zoning districts, eliminating the potential for heavy industrial uses in this area. • The proposed zoning boundary was designed to limit potential negative impacts on the use of adjacent properties. • This expansion of land area within the Preservation Point Subdivision will have no impact on the school system as no additional lots will be created nor will development take place in the area per the conservation easement restrictions.

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 Conservation Covers areas of natural open space and is intended to protect the natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats that serve the public Place Type through environmental education, low- impact recreation, and in their natural Description beauty. In areas where zoning allows other uses, such as single family residential, increased density would be discouraged, and low impact development methods would be required. Such requirements place limits on development to ensure the protection of resources.

No one from the public spoke in opposition to, or in favor of, the proposal. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (5 -0), finding it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site. The Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the request removes an industrial zoning designation from land that is environmentally sensitive and offers increased protection to the adjacent residential property and wetlands. In addition, the boundary of the proposed rezoning was designed to limit additional regulations on the adjacent remaining industrial property. Z20 -22 Staff Report BOC 1.19.2021 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 23- 2 - 12 Page 12 of 13 The intent of the Conservation place type is to highlight areas where development and land uses may need to be limited in order to protect natural resources. The majority of the area included in the rezoning request is identified as a Potential Significant Natural Heritage Area in the Comprehensive Plan. These areas are designated by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) based on features such as the presence of rare species, exemplary natural communities, or important animal Analysis assemblages, such as the exceptional coastal wetlands on the subject site. Many of the types of industrial uses allowed in the 1 -2, Heavy Industrial district are not in line with the Comprehensive Plan's intent to protect the resources on the subject site. While an R -15 zoning designation could generally allow the type of increased density discouraged by the plan, the conservation easement associated with the site would not allow additional residential units to be built in this area and would protect the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats. The proposed R -15 rezoning, in conjunction with the conservation easement on file for the subject property, is generally CONSISTENT with the goals of Consistency the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation Recommendation than the existing 1 -2, Heavy Industrial zoning, would not allow additional residential units to be built in this area, and would protect the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats.

I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the request removes an industrial zoning designation from land that is environmentally sensitive and offers increased protection to the adjacent residential property and wetlands. In addition, the boundary of the proposed rezoning was designed to limit additional regulations on the adjacent remaining industrial property. Alternative Motion for Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to an R -15 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is a more appropriate designation than the existing 1 -2 zoning and, with the conservation easement on record for the property, additional protections are provided for the site's natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats which restrict development on the subject site, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the surrounding community and the use will adversely impact the adjacent properties.

Board of Commissionerg - January 1 % 2,021 ITEM: 23- 7 - 4 REZONING REQUEST FROM I -2 TO R -15 PARCEL ID #R04100- 001 - 002 -000 & R04100- 001 - 150 -000 1. HOW WOULD THE REQUESTED CHANGE BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COUNTY'S POLICIES FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT? The rezoning request, from I -2 to R -15, is for 71.36 acres of industrial -use property associated with the Performance Residential Subdivision, Preservation Point. The subject property, in conjunction with the roughly 110 acres of wetlands around the proposed Sans Souci Island, has recently been placed in a permanent conservation easement in order to preserve the natural condition of the sensitive ecosystem of riparian wetlands. Doing so would be consistent with the county's policies for growth and development by protecting an area identified for conservation. The county has focused on conservation throughout the Smith Creek watershed and this would represent a substantial gain of conservation land. Additionally, the change in Zoning from I -2 to R -15 will not impact the adjacent properties. 2. HOW WOULD THE REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPERTY'S CLASSIFICATION ON THE LAND CLASSIFICATION MAP? The tract has been identified as a "CONSERVATION" area on the Future Land Use Map for New Hanover County. This is a remnant I -2 parcel acquired during the purchase of the land which has been previously re -zoned as R -15 for Preservation Point. Re- zoning to R -15 and placing the land in permanent conservation will fall directly in line with the Counties' classification for this area. 3. WHAT SIGNIFICANT NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED TO MAKE THE ORIGINAL ZONING INAPPROPRIATE, OR HOW IS THE LAND INVOLVED UNSUITABLE FOR THE USES PERMITTED UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING? The subject tract of land is a remnant I -2 parcel included with the purchase of land for Preservation Point, a Performance Residential subdivision. Currently zoned R -15 parcels associated with the subdivision abut the Industrial Zoned land. It is the desire of the petitioner to extend the adjacent parcel lot lines to include the subject property. This will eliminate split zoned parcels and allow individual lot owners control of their visual corridors. Re- zoning to R -15 will create a more consistent land use pattern for the subdivision, while protecting valuable ecological assets. 4. HOW WILL THIS CHANGE OF ZONING SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST? The change in zoning and subsequent permanent conservation of the subject property will ensure the preservation of a delicate and valuable ecosystem. The wetlands provide a myriad of ecosystem services to our area including, but not limited to, flood attenuation, filtering of stormwaters, and habitat for many plants and animals. Eliminating all possible industrial use here will ensure the protection of the natural beauty of the riparian landscape that is emblematic of New Hanover County.

Hackney, and Proclaim Holdings, LLC, to Rezone Approximately 3.28 Acres of Land Located at 813 and 817 Piner Road from (CUD) O &I, Conditional Use Office and Institutional District, to (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, in Order to Develop a Landscape Contractor's Office BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is seeking to rezone 3.28 acres of land from (CUD) 0&1 to (CZD) CB in order to develop a landscape contractor's office. The existing zoning (CU D) 0&1 allows the site to be used for office and recreation (golf training center) uses. Currently, two office buildings and one dwelling unit are located on the site. The dwelling was constructed on the site prior to the property being initially zoned as a conditional 0&1 district in 1997, and was approved to be converted for use as an office and the golf training center in 2002. However, the recreation use never commenced operation and the dwelling still remains as a legal nonconformity. With the applicant's proposal, the existing office buildings will remain, and a new storage building and company truck parking area are proposed to be constructed behind the existing structures. The proposal would also allow for the existing dwelling to be used as a live /work unit for the business, which requires a Special Use Permit (SUP) in the proposed CB district. The applicant has applied for a separate SUP application for the live /work unit (520 -04) that is being processed concurrently with this rezoning application. As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 5 -10 trips during the weekday peak hours and 20 peak hour trips on Saturday (generated from the recreational use). The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately the same number of trips during the weekday peak hours. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). NCDOT has reviewed the request and provided preliminary comments indicating that a revised driveway permit will be required and that the driveway radius may need to be enlarged to accommodate the vehicles associated with the business. The site has been used for office related uses since the late 1990s. The existing office buildings will continue to be used by the business. Contractor offices generally generate fewer trips than other typical commercial uses (retail, restaurants) with many trips occurring outside of peak hours. The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately the same number of trips during the weekday peak hours as the uses currently allowed on the site. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as General Residential. The proposed office and live /work use is generally CONSISTENT with the plan because it is located on a site that provides some transition between the middle Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 24 school and adjacent residential properties and would allow for reuse of existing structures. The Planning Board considered this application at their November S, 2020 meeting. At the meeting, no one from the public spoke in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposal. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (4 -0), finding it to be: CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will provide an appropriate transition between the adjacent middle school and residential properties. The Planning Board also found APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would allow reuse of the existing structures and because the proposed lawn care business is estimated to not increase the amount of traffic generated from the site. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a conditional CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will provide an appropriate transition between the adjacent middle school and residential properties. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would allow reuse of the existing structures and because the proposed lawn care business is estimated to not increase the amount of traffic generated from the site. [Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district. Example Motion for Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a conditional CB district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will provide an appropriate transition between the adjacent middle school and residential properties, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the intensity will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval as presented by staff. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5 -0. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 24 SCRIPT for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z20 -21) Request by Design Solutions on behalf of property owners, William S. and Tara S. Hackney, and Proclaim Holdings, LLC, to rezone approximately 3.28 acres of land located at 813 and 817 Piner Road from (CUD) O &I, Conditional Use Office and Institutional District, to (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, in order to develop a landscape contractor's office. 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 additional 5 minutes for rebuttal. 2. Conduct Hearing, as follows: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant's presentation (up to 15 minutes) c. Opponent's presentation (up to 15 minutes) d. Applicant's rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) e. Opponent's rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) 3. Close the public hearing 4. Board discussion 5. 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 of Approval I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a conditional CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will provide an appropriate transition between the adjacent middle school and residential properties. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would allow reuse of the existing structures and because the proposed lawn care business is estimated to not increase the amount of traffic generated from the site.

The existing office buildings will remain, and a new storage building and company truck parking area are proposed to be constructed behind the existing structures. • The proposal would also allow for the existing dwelling to be used as a live /work unit for the business, which requires a Special Use Permit (SUP) in the proposed CB district. The applicant has applied for a separate SUP application for the live /work unit (520- 04) that is being processed concurrently with this rezoning application. • The plan does not indicate any improvements will be made in the northern portion of the site, which is approximately one acre in area and 200 feet in length. • The proposal will remove one of the two existing driveways currently accessing Piner Road. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • In the proposed CB district, outside storage areas are prohibited and all work associated with contractor operations shall be conducted entirely within enclosed structures. • In the CB district, a minimum 25 -foot rear setback, 20 -foot interior setback, and 20 -foot opaque bufferyard are required where the development abuts existing residential properties. Maximum height may not exceed 3 stories or 45 -feet, though the existing and proposed buildings will not exceed 25 feet. • In addition to the contractor's office, other office related uses would be permitted in the existing buildings after administrative review and approval. A single- tenant office would require the same amount of parking and is estimated to generate a similar amount of trips as a contractor's office.

The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately the same number of trips during the weekday peak hours. • A revised NCDOT driveway permit will be required for the proposal. NCDOT provided preliminary comments indicating that the driveway radius will need to be enlarge to accommodate the vehicles associated with the business. • Based on the operation of the business, it is estimated that many of the trips generated from office will occur outside of the peak hours. According to the applicant, the field crew employees arrive at the office at 6:30 AM then leave for the specific jobs sites. They arrive back at the office around 3:00 PM before leaving for the day. • The site is adjacent to two schools (Myrtle Grove Middle and Myrtle Grove Christian School). Drop off times range from 7:30 -8:30 AM and pick up times range from 2:30- 3:30 PM. *Per the Kaylies Cove TIA, the AM peak hour on Piner Road begins at 7:30 and the PM peak hour begins at 5:00.

These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Place Types Monkey Junction 4 Growth Node Subject Site URBAN !3j GENERAL _Z MIXED USE MFR +�D RESIDENTIAL/ p � � w U GR\SSQ� C7 LU New Hanover County, NC Future Land Use Map Place Type General Residential Focuses on lower- density housing and associated civic and commercial services. Typically, housing is single - family or duplexes. Commercial uses Place Type should be limited to strategically located office and retail spaces, while Description recreation and school facilities are encouraged throughout. Types of uses include single - family residential, low- density multi - family residential, light commercial, civic, and recreational. The intent of the General Residential place type is to provide opportunities for lower density residential development and supportive commercial, civic, and recreational development. Commercial uses in General Residential areas are recommended to be "strategically located" office and retail. This generally means that neighborhood -scale office and retail can be located at nodes, such as intersections where several neighborhoods have convenient Analysis access, or office and institutional uses can serve as transitions between residences and more intensive commercial areas. The subject property, while not located in an area where an office use is as likely to provide services to nearby properties, is the site of an existing, longstanding office use. The proposed lawn care business would continue the existing light office type use, which has been in existence since 1997, and would add limited vehicle traffic onto Piner Road.

I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would allow reuse of the existing structures and because the proposed lawn care business is estimated to not increase the amount of traffic generated from the site. [Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district. Example Motion for Denial I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a conditional CB district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will provide an appropriate transition between the adjacent middle school and residential properties, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the intensity will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

Conditional Zoning District Considerations The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and the community at- large. The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional Zoning district meets the following criteria. 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's policies for growth and development, as described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc. THE POLICIES FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ENCOURAGE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO ATTRACT AND MAINTAIN BUSINESSES. THE PETITIONER HAS OPERATED A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE HERE IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY FOR OVER 21 YEARS, BUT CURRENTLY OCCUPIES A LEASED SPACE. THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND ADMINISTER THE BUSINESS FROM THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDINGS. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property's classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. THE TRACT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS A "GENERAL RESIDENTIAL" PLACE -TYPE. HOWEVER, IT IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE "URBAN MIXED -USE" PLACE -TYPE THAT IS PART OF THE MONKEY JUNCTION GROWTH NODE. LOWER- DENSITY COMMERCIAL USES, SUCH AS OFFICES, ARE ACCEPTABLE. PINER ROAD IS A MINOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY. 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? THE TRACT IS ALREADY BEING USED FOR OFFICE PURPOSES, BUT IS LIMITED DUE TO ITS UNDERLYING OFFICE & INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE REQUESTED CHANGE IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADDING THE USE OF "CONTRACTOR OFFICE" FOR THE PETITIONER'S SPECIFIC BUSINESS.

My main comment is regarding possible noise disturbance from the operation. At what hour in the morning will workers be arriving to load company vehicles and head out. In my experience that will be at an early hour that will be noticeable to the neighborhood. Please establish working hours and "non- noisy" times. Other than that I am OK with this use. Sean P. Mulligan Mobile: 203 - 219 -2212 5756 Highgrove Place seanpmulligan @gmail.com Mr. Mulligan, • Techs (8)- Monday thru Friday 6:45am- 3:15pm • Admin (2)- Monday thru Friday 8am -5pm • Owners(2) There is no activity weekends or holidays. • The only real activity is to fill the tanks — by normal hose - from an on -site well adjacent to the proposed storage building, and hand load the plant -care applications from the proposed new storage building. No machinery like forklifts. • All of those applications are non -toxic substances and considered environmentally "friendly." We appreciate your contact and will include it in the project information report. Please don't hesitate to email again if you have additional questions. Regards, Cindee Thanks, that confirms my concerns of early morning activity disturbing the peace. I know that crews coming and going can be somewhat talkative and vehicle activity (doors and motors) will be heard. Hopefully Freedom will understand and inform their crews to transition as quickly and quietly as possible. Sean P.

The only changes to the site would be elimination of the western driveway, construction of a storage building to the rear of the tract, and overall upgrade of landscaping to current standards. This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. A sketch plan of the project layout is enclosed. The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the project and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits, and impacts. Due to the current COVID -19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of that, you can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at: Telephone: 910 - 620 -2374, or Email: cwolf (@lobodemar.biz We can also set up an on -line meeting for a forum with multiple parties if requested. Please let me know if you are interested in that alternative and arrangements will be made. All contact, comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the County along with the rezoning application. Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public hearings for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal. We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 24- 7 - 14 F.

Hackney, and Proclaim Holdings, LLC, for a Special Use Permit for a Live /Work Unit Within the (CZD) CB, Conditional Community Business District, Associated with Rezoning Request Z20 -21, Located at 813 and 817 Piner Road BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is seeking a Special Use Permit for a live /work or caretaker unit associated with a landscape contracting business located at 813 & 817 Piner Road. This application is for the same property that the applicant is also proposing to rezone to a conditional CB district (Z20 -21). Dwelling units are not permitted in the proposed CB district unless they are used as a live /work or caretaker unit and also obtain a Special Use Permit. The subject property already contains one dwelling unit that the applicant is proposing to use for the live /work or caretaker unit. Currently, the dwelling is considered to be a legal nonconformity and can be continued to be occupied provided use of the structure as a dwelling is not discontinued for a period of 180 consecutive days. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) contains specific standards for Live /Work or Caretaker Units. The dwelling must be occupied by a person engaged in the principal use or their family members residing with them. Open space equal to size of the dwelling must be provided on the site, and the dwelling cannot be more than 50 percent of the total floor area of the principal use. The dwelling unit that will be used as the live /work unit is already located on the site. Therefore, it is estimated that there will be no change in the trips generated from this site with this proposal. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic I mpact Analysis (TIA). An existing single - family dwelling is currently located and occupied on the site and approval of the SU P would remove the dwelling's nonconforming status and allow for minor expansions in accordance with the standards of the U DO. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as General Residential. The purpose of the this classification is to provide opportunities for lower density housing and supportive commercial, civic, and recreational development. The Planning Board considered this application at their November 5, 2020 meeting. At the meeting, no one from the public spoke in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposal. The Planning Board recommended approval of the application (4 -0). Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 25 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Example Motion for Approval: Motion to approve, as the Board finds that this application for a Special Use Permit meets the four required conclusions based on the findings of fact included in the Staff Report.

The applicant has applied for a separate rezoning application (Z20 -21) that would allow the for the expansion of a landscape contracting business on the site. • The applicant is proposing to use the existing house on the site for a live /work or caretaker unit for the landscape business. Currently, the dwelling is considered to be a legal nonconformity and can be continued to be occupied provided use of the structure as a dwelling is not discontinued for a period of 180 consecutive days. • Dwelling units are not permitted in the proposed CB district that the applicant is seeking to rezone the property unless they are used as a live /work or caretaker unit and also obtain a Special Use Permit. • The dwelling is located in the center of the site, is 864 square feet in living space, and two stories (25 feet) in height. • Two parking spaces and 1,200 square feet of open space have been provided for the dwelling unit in accordance with the zoning requirements for live /work units.

The dwelling must be occupied by a person engaged in the principal use or their family members residing with them. Open space equal to size of the dwelling must be provided on the site, and the dwelling cannot be more than 50 percent of the total floor area of the principal use. • The proposed site plan complies with the technical standards for the use in the UDO. AREA SUBDIVISIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT S20 -04 Staff Report PB 1.19.2021 Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 25- 2 - 4 Page 4 of 12 TRANSPORTATION • The site is accessed by Piner Road, an NCDOT- maintained minor arterial road. The site is approximately one half mile from both the Carolina Beach Road/S. College Road intersection and the Myrtle Grove Road intersection. • The dwelling unit that will be used as the live /work unit is already located on the site. Therefore, it is estimated that there will be no change in the trips generated from this site with this proposal. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). • Because a TIA is not required to analyze transportation impacts for proposal generating less than 100 peak hour trips, staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for Piner Road near the subject site. While volume to capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway.

Criteria Required for Approval of a Special Use Permit A use designated as a special use in a particular zoning district is a use that may be appropriate in the district, but because of its nature, extent, and external impacts, requires special consideration of its location, design, and methods of operation before it can be deemed appropriate in the district and compatible with its surroundings. The purpose is to establish a uniform mechanism for the review of special uses to ensure they are appropriate for the location and zoning district where they are proposed. For each of the four required conclusions listed below, include or attach a statement that explains how any existing conditions, proposed development features, or other relevant facts would allow the Board of County Commissioners to reach the required conclusion, and attach any additional documents or materials that provide supporting factual evidence. The considerations listed under each required conclusion are simply those suggested to help the applicant understand what may be considered in determining whether a required conclusion can be met. Any additional considerations potentially raised by the proposed use or development should be addressed. 1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved. Considerations. • Traffic conditions in the vicinity, including the effect of additional traffic on streets and street intersections, and sight lines at street intersections with curb cuts; • Provision of services and utilities, including sewer, water, electrical, garbage collections, fire protection; • Soil erosion and sedimentation; • Protection of public, community, or private water supplies, including possible adverse effects on surface waters or groundwater; or • Anticipated air discharges, including possible adverse effects on air quality. THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE IS EXISTING, AND SERVICED BY A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM AND A PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEM. ITS ACCESS IS FROM THE SAME DRIVEWAY FOR THE PRIMARY OFFICE USE, AND ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES ARE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE HOME. ALLOWING THE OWNER OR A FULL -TIME EMPLOYEE OF THE BUSINESS TO RESIDE ON THE PROPERTY PROVIDES SECURITY FOR THE PREMISES AND THE COMPANY VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WEEKENDS. 2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. A "LIVE /WORK OR CARETAKER UNIT" IS PERMITTED BY PRESCRIBED CONDITIONS IN SECTION 4.3.2.A.7 OF THE UDO. ALL OF THOSE CRITERIA ARE SATISFIED. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 Page 3 of 6 ITEM: 25- 7 - 3 Special Use Permit Application — Updated 02 -2020 3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. Considerations. • The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, etc.). • Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community or County as a whole as to justify it regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining property. THE HOUSE THAT IS TO BE USED FOR THE "LIVE / WORK OR CARETAKER" RESIDENCE IS EXISTING. IT IS LOCATED ON THE PORTION OF THE TRACT CLOSEST TO THE MYRTLE GROVE SCHOOL. THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDIENCE THAT IT HAS HAD AN ADVERSE IMPACT TO ANY OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES. APPROVAL OF THE ASSOCIATED CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT CHANGE TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR OFFICE WILL INCLUDE UPGRADE OF LANDSCAPING. EXISTING BUFFERYARDS WILL BE VERIFIED FOR THEIR SUFFICIENCY, OR SUPPLEMENTED TO ASSURE THAT THE USE IS VISUALLY SCREENED. 4. 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 New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Considerations. • The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, etc.). • Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan's goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions of the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards. THE TRACT IS IDENTIFIED I THE COMPREHANSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS A "GENERAL RESIDNETIAL PLACE -TYPE.

My main comment is regarding possible noise disturbance from the operation. At what hour in the morning will workers be arriving to load company vehicles and head out. In my experience that will be at an early hour that will be noticeable to the neighborhood. Please establish working hours and "non- noisy" times. Other than that I am OK with this use. Sean P. Mulligan Mobile: 203 - 219 -2212 5756 Highgrove Place seanpmulligan @gmail.com Mr. Mulligan, • Techs (8)- Monday thru Friday 6:45am- 3:15pm • Admin (2)- Monday thru Friday 8am -5pm • Owners(2) There is no activity weekends or holidays. • The only real activity is to fill the tanks — by normal hose - from an on -site well adjacent to the proposed storage building, and hand load the plant -care applications from the proposed new storage building. No machinery like forklifts. • All of those applications are non -toxic substances and considered environmentally "friendly." We appreciate your contact and will include it in the project information report. Please don't hesitate to email again if you have additional questions. Regards, Cindee Thanks, that confirms my concerns of early morning activity disturbing the peace. I know that crews coming and going can be somewhat talkative and vehicle activity (doors and motors) will be heard. Hopefully Freedom will understand and inform their crews to transition as quickly and quietly as possible. Sean P.

The only changes to the site would be elimination of the western driveway, construction of a storage building to the rear of the tract, and overall upgrade of landscaping to current standards. This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. A sketch plan of the project layout is enclosed. The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the project and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits, and impacts. Due to the current COVID -19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of that, you can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at: Telephone: 910 - 620 -2374, or Email: cwolf (@lobodemar.biz We can also set up an on -line meeting for a forum with multiple parties if requested. Please let me know if you are interested in that alternative and arrangements will be made. All contact, comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the County along with the rezoning application. Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public hearings for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal. We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 25- 7 - 14 F.

The proposed expansion is on a 4.2 acre parcel adjacent to the existing park and consists of the addition of 28 camping or RV spaces, a second bath house, and a third access point to River Road. Access is proposed to be provided to River Road from the subject property at three points. Two access points to River Road were approved with the 2018 special use permit, and visitors will be able to access this phase internally through an extension of one existing access point to the east, while a new access point to the south of the "T" shaped parcel is proposed. A driveway permit from NCDOT is required for this third access point, and the proposed expansion is anticipated to generate an additional 9 AM and 13 PM peak hour trips. The estimated number of peak hour trips anticipated with the proposed development is below the 100 peak hour trip threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement fora Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The requested land use is similar to existing uses in the immediate vicinity. The property to the north of the subject site has been used as a campground /RV park since the early 1960s, and this proposal would provide an expansion of the first phase of Snows Cut RV Park approved in 2018. The properties on the remaining boundaries are currently undeveloped. The location is within close proximity to recreational opportunities including Snows Cut Park, Carolina Beach State Park, and attractions in Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher. The 2016 Comprehensive Land Use Plan classifies the subject property as General Residential. The intent of this place type is to provide opportunities for lower density residential development and supportive commercial, civic, and recreational development. While recreational uses are encouraged in General Residential areas, uses such as RV parks and campgrounds are not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. However, these uses are common in many communities along the North Carolina coast, including New Hanover County, and can support tourism and public access to water and natural resources. The Planning Board considered this application at the December 3, 2020 meeting. No members of the public spoke in opposition to the request. The Planning Board recommended approval (6 -0) of the application and suggested condition based on the preliminary findings of fact. Board of Commissioners - January 19, 2021 ITEM: 26 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Example Motion for Approval: Motion to approve, as the Board finds that this application for a Special Use Permit meets the four required conclusions based on the findings of fact included in the Staff Report. [OPTIONAL] Note any additional findings of fact related to the four required conclusions. [OPTIONAL] Note any conditions be added to the development: Suggested Condition: 1. Consistent with the Special Use Permit approval for the previous phase of Snows Cut RV Park, no camping activity of any kind can occur in any required buff eryard or in the 15 -foot access easement that runs along the northern property line of the subject site. Example Motion for Denial: Motion to deny, as the Board cannot find that this proposal: 1. Will not materially endanger the public health or safety; 2. Meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance; 3. Will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property; 4. 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. [State the finding(s) that the application does not meet and include reasons why it is not being met] COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) The board's decision to approve or deny an application for a Special Use Permit should be based solely on the competent and material evidence presented during the public hearing.

The properties to the west and south of the "T" shaped portion of the subject property are currently undeveloped and are zoned R -15. • The UDO allows for multiple uses to be permitted on a parcel where the site layout can be achieved in compliance with applicable zoning district standards, use standards, and development standards. The existing single - family dwelling unit proposed to be used in conjunction with the RV park is in compliance with the applicable UDO provisions.

Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) are required to be completed for proposals that will generate more than 100 peak hour trips in either the AM or PM peak hours. A TIA is not required for this project due to the minimal projected peak hour trip generation figures; however, proposed access points will be reviewed through the county's Technical Review Committee and will require a driveway permit from NCDOT. • Because there have been no recent traffic impact analyses in the area addressing nearby intersections, staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for River Road near the subject site. While volume to capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway. However, the available volume to capacity data indicates capacity currently exists in this area to support the expected additional traffic.

The location of septic fields as shown on the site plan will be subject to approval by New Hanover County Environmental Health. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS SCHOOLS • Under the county's performance residential standards, the subject property could allow up to 1 1 single - family dwelling units to be constructed at a density of 2.5 du/ac. Using the generalized historic student generation rate, development under the current zoning district can be estimated to generate approximately 3 students. • Under the proposal, these units are not typically occupied by full time residents with students in the school system as they will not be permanent units and are intended for transient lodging. CONTEXT AND COMPATIBILITY • The property to the north of the subject site has been used as a campground/RV park since the early 1960s. • A Special Use Permit for a campground /travel trailer park on the property to the east of the subject site was approved by the Board of Commissioners in 2018, and this proposal would provide an expansion of that facility. • Adjacent properties to the west and south are currently undeveloped, and transitional buffers will be required along common property boundaries to these properties. • The location is within close proximity to recreational opportunities including Snows Cut Park, Carolina Beach State Park, and attractions in Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher.

Specific goals of the comprehensive plan are designated to be promoted in each place type, and other goals may be relevant for particular properties. u - _ - Place Types COMMUNITY f �„ MIXED USE GENERAL RESIDEW: R -10 R -1 S 520 -05 RIVER — O a lJ I I CONSERVATION NeU,rHI1I ter' =cu�iC i9C Future Land Use Map Place Type General Residential Focuses on lower- density housing and associated civic and commercial services. Typically, housing is single - family or duplexes. Commercial uses Place Type should be limited to strategically located office and retail spaces, while Description recreation and school facilities are encouraged throughout. Types of uses include single - family residential, low- density multi - family residential, light commercial, civic, and recreational. The intent of the General Residential place type is to provide opportunities for lower density residential development and supportive commercial, civic, and recreational development. Though recreational uses are encouraged in General Residential areas, uses such as RV parks and campgrounds are not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. However, these uses are common in many communities along the North Carolina coast, including New Hanover County, and can support tourism and public access to water and natural resources. Analysis The proposed RV park and campground is located immediately adjacent to an existing campground and public recreation amenities. During their consideration of the 2018 special use permit for the existing Snows Cut RV Park, the Board of Commissioners found that the use aligned with the intent of the General Residential land use classification, would provide recreational opportunities, would have few impacts on existing residential neighborhoods, and was generally compatible with the existing residential and recreational development pattern in the area.

I have always had a passion for the film industry, during my time as an undergraduate at UNCW, I took a few courses in studio production as well as media law and ethics. As a new production crew we created the Digital Drip brand through UNCW Communication Studies department. I believe film is a life changing opportunity to build a fanbase around characters, storylines, and create situations we cannot simply do as a current race, like Star Trek for example. I believe that educating, and creating more opportunities to revitalize our film industry that is on the upcoming once again, to be a prominent force on the East Coast. Additionally, learning the system as well as gain insight into the relationships between the film industry, local governments as well as communities is important in building new relationships and transform New Hanover County together. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I believe with the new downtown waterfront convention center, we can create opportunities for students to practice, learn, and rent out the area to learn during their in class activities out in the field. Thus, student engagement is one area I believe more addressed by this committee.
