Request by Rob Tanner with Impeccable Development, applicant, on behalf of Andrea Jones,

seven (7) parcels totaling approximately 11.77 acres of land located at 6800, 6808, 6814, 6818, 6820,
6824, and 6828 Carolina Beach Road from R-15, Residential to 2.37 acres to (CZD) B-1, Neighborhood
Business and 8.66 acres to (CZD) RMF-M, Residential Multi-Family – Moderate Density for a
convenience store with fuel stations and a maximum 128 unit multi-family development.

c. Opponent’s presentation (up to 15 minutes)
d. Applicant’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes)
f. Staff review of any additional conditions
3. Close the public hearing
4. Board discussion
5. Before we proceed with the vote, I would like to invite the applicant to the podium. Based on
the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like withdraw
your petition, request a continuance, or proceed with a vote?
6. 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 for Approval
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with
the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density and housing
type is within the recommendations of the Community Mixed Use place type and the commercial
development acts as an appropriate transition between the highway corridor and residential
development. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and
in the public interest because the project provides interconnectivity and housing diversity at an
appropriate density to act as a transition between existing commercial and residential
development.
Proposed Conditions:
1. An opaque fence shall be provided along the property line adjoining any existing
residential development. The fence location may be adjusted by Planning staff to
accommodate any utilities, easements, or saved / protected trees.
2. The two (2) specimen trees shown on the concept plan along Carolina Beach Road shall
be retained and preserved on site.
3. Existing trees onsite will be preserved that do not impact required land grading or
other improvements and future amenities as identified in the required Tree Removal
Permit.
4. The southernmost multi-family structure as shown on the concept plan shall be limited to
two-stories in height.
5. Exterior lighting will be designed and installed to maintain adequate lighting levels on
the proposed site while assuring that excessive light spillage and glare are not directed
at adjacent property, neighboring areas, or motorists.
6. A sidewalk or multi-use path shall be installed along Carolina Beach Road extending
from the northern property line to the southern property line with stubs for connection
to existing or future pedestrian facilities on adjacent parcels. Pedestrian crossing
labeling meeting NCDOT minimum requirements for pedestrian safety shall be installed
at both driveway entrances. The pedestrian facility along Carolina Beach Road shall
be within a dedicated public access easement.
7. A stormwater maintenance agreement shall be made between the convenience store
with fuel pumps and the multi-family development if they are on separate parcels or
under separate ownership.
Alternative Motion for DENIAL
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density, housing type,
and increased interconnectivity are in line with the recommendations of both the Community
Mixed Use place type and the proposed development acts as an appropriate transition
between existing commercial and residential uses in the area. However, I find recommending
DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proximity
of existing and approved similar uses would not advance the vision for this area of Carolina
Beach Road.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to a conditional RMF-L
district. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]

the public interest because [insert reasons]
