Subject Property Information Address/Location Parcel Identification Number(s) Total Parcel(s) Acreage Existing Zoning and Use(s) Future Land Use Classification 3. Proposed Zoning, Use(s), & Narrative Proposed Conditional Zoning District: Total Acreage of Proposed District: Please list the uses that will be allowed within the proposed Conditional Zoning District, the purpose of the district, and a project narrative (attach additional pages if necessary). Note: Only uses permitted in the corresponding General Use District are eligible for consideration within a Conditional Zoning District. 4. Proposed Condition(s) Note: Within a Conditional Zoning District, additional conditions and requirements which represent greater restrictions on the development and use of the property than the corresponding general use district regulations may be added. These conditions may assist in mitigating the impacts the proposed development may have on the surrounding community. Please list any conditions proposed to be placed on the Conditional Zoning District below. Staff, the Planning Board, and Board of Commissioners may propose additional conditions during the review process. 6634 Carolina Beach Road 313206.37.2876 [R08200-001-036-000] 4.56 ac.+/-R-15 Community Mixed-Use 4.56 ac. The proposed project is to develop seventy-eight (78) residential apartment units in three stories overa ground-floor parking level. Units will be a mix of 1, 2 & 3-bedrooms. Guest and overflow parking isprovided in a lot that will be screened from the highway by the building and streetscape plantings. Thebuilding height of fifty-feet (50') is being mitigated by expanded setbacks in excess of one-hundred feet(100'). The combination of screening fence, preservation of existing vegetation and supplementallandscaping will provide buffering between the more dense residential communtity and the adjacentsingle-family homes in Lords Creek. Access is directly to Carolina Beach Road, with the improvement of a deceleration taper and turn laneinto the driveway. Water & sanitary sewer services will be connected to the CFPUA system by extention of public utilitymains. Stormwater management is planned to be addressed with a detention pond adjacent to the existingdrainageway for outlet. CZD / RMF-M Reference the site plan for layout and physical conditions. Wtih the purpose of increasing density in certain district with the provision of "work-force housing,"the developer would commit 10% of the total units for a period no less than fifteen (15) years.The established rent limits for those units would be based upon the HUD's "high home" standard. Exterior lighting, including luminaries and security lights, shall be arranged or shielded so asnot to cast illumination in an upward direction above an imaginary line extended from the lightsources parallel to the ground. Fixtures shall be numbered such that adequate levels oflighting are maintained, but that light spillage and glare are not directed at adjacent property,neighboring areas, or motorists. Light posts shall be no taller than twenty (20) feet. Page 3 of 6 Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 05-2021 5. Traffic Impact Please provide the estimated number of trips generated for the proposed use(s) based off the most recent version of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) must be completed for all proposed developments that generate more than 100 peak hour trips, and the TIA must be included with this application. ITE Land Use: Trip Generation Use and Variable (gross floor area, dwelling units, etc.) AM Peak Hour Trips: PM Peak Hour Trips: 6. 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. Mid-rise / Multi-family Housing (ITE - 221) 78 dwelling units 3123 The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to beavailable to every citizen. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill andmaximizing use of lands already accessible to urban services. The proposed developmentwill provide for an alternative housing product in the area. Page 4 of 6 Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 05-2021 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. 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 Comprehensive Plan was developed to set the general direction for future growth and re-development across the County, and identifies the corrdior along Carolina Beach Road as a CommunityMixed-Use place-type. Higher densities of residential development are appropriate based on directaccess to a major thoroughfare road, and to serve as transitions between the busy corridors and theless dense residential communities beyond. The strategies for future land use suggest that smart growth should be inward & upward to limitimpervious surfaces and provide more greenspace within projects. Groundfloor parking within astructure is a compelling means for addressing that. The limited density allowance for the R-15 zoning district is no longer supported when considering the housing gap of the community for the next ten years. A housing needsassessment for New Hanover County showed that this area was lacking a renter shareof households, in general. Multi-family rental, specifically, is totally lacking. The closest apartment complex is up on Sanders Road, and there is no other facility in the southernportion of the County. The study also reported that this area was an older population (55+)census block. Rental communities, such as the project proposed, provide an alternativehousing product for residents. Aged residents would be attracted to the safety & security ofa managed community with elevators and amenities. Pleasure Island service industry workerscould appreciate the closer proximity to their jobs.
