The Board voted 5-0 to deny the special use permit request. The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ruled that it was an error of law to not have approved the request and ordered the issuance of the special use permit.

Based upon the Board of County Commissioners hearing held on June 1, 2020 and the Order of the North Carolina Court of Appeals, dated November 2, 2021, the Board hereby grants the applicant's request for a special use permit. In doing so the Board makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT and renders the following CONCLUSIONS: 1. The Board finds pursuant to the North Carolina Court of Appeals Order that the proposed use does satisfy the first general requirement of the Ordinance namely the requirement that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. The North Carolina Court of Appeals determined that the Board of Commissioners' finding of fact regarding this requirement of the Board was not based upon competent, material, and substantial evidence in the record. 2. The Board finds that the proposed use does satisfy the second general requirement of the Ordinance; namely that the use meets all required conditions and specifications. 3. The Board finds that the proposed use does satisfy the third general requirement of the Ordinance; namely that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property. 4. The Board finds that the proposed use does satisfy the fourth general requirement of the Ordinance; namely that 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 plan of development in New Hanover County. 5. Therefore, pursuant to these findings the Board of County Commissioners conclude that the specific and general requirements necessary for the issuance of a special use permit have been satisfied and it is HEREBY ORDERED that the application for the special use permit be GRANTED and it is hereby issued.

General Statutes 160D-302 (as of 2019). The Commissioners increased board membership to 3 alternates on 11/21/94 (officially 4/1/96). The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires members to be appointed from different areas within the County's zoning jurisdiction insofar as possible. Brief on Functions: In New Hanover County, the duties of the Board fall into two general categories: granting variances and hearing appeals. Granting of Variances: When unnecessary hardships would result from carrying out a strict application of the UDO, the Board of Adjustment has the authority to vary any of the provisions of the ordinance after holding a public hearing and determining that the greater weight of evidence and testimony demonstrates that four conclusions have been met supported by findings of fact: 1. Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the ordinance. 2. The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as location, size, or topography. 3. The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or the property owner. 4. The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the ordinance, such that public safety is secured, and substantial justice is achieved. In summary, a variance is an approval enabling a property owner to make use of his property in some way which is in conflict with the literal provisions of the Ordinance. Hearing Appeals: The Board of Adjustment is also tasked with hearing and deciding on appeals where it is alleged by the appellant that there is error in a decision made by the planning director or Technical Review Committee (TRC) in administering or enforcing the LIDO.

Volunteer Activities Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? Government service is one of the most challenging and yet important activities any member of society can engage in. I think it's important that people participate whenever possible in governmental deliberation in order to be certain that we walk the very fine line between enhancing the lives of individuals and not over regulating. That balance is what I feel most passionate about and think that's why I'm the most qualified for this role. New Hanover County is a wonderful place with a tremendous upside in terms of it's growth and I have a vision for that. But I can also see the individual and the benefits they receive from the Board of Adjustment as it fulfills its mission. So I want to be on this board to help continue the outstanding work that is currently being done. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? A desire to see a continuation of the intelligent and sensible growth in New Hanover County that benefits everyone to the greatest extent possible. Governance by any political body is a challenge and requires the commitment and dedication to listen and understand the impact on individuals. My only concern is that the ability to hear from the citizenry that is the ultimate recipient of any ordinance, continue and be enhanced in order to provide as close an alignment between this governing body and the community which it serves. Qualifications for serving: Dedication and commitment to this community and to the growth that benefits us all.
