A.2 Zoning and History

• On November 6, 1972, a special use permit was approved by New Hanover County
to allow Carolina Power & Light Company to construct offices and outdoor storage
on site located at 347 & 349 Military Cutoff Road.
• On February 5, 1981, permits were approved for Hidden Lakes Mobile Home Park
(565 Military Cutoff Road) containing 56-units.
• On October 7, 1997, a special use permit was issued by New Hanover County to
allow a 6-lot expansion of the mobile home park for a total of 62 units.
• The subject sites were part of the 1995 annexation, effective January 31, 1999 and
were zoned MHP.
A.3 Zoning District Purpose Statements
• MHP, Manufactured Housing Park District (Existing) – This district is established to
accommodate planned manufactured housing park development. It affords city
residents an alternate housing type and thereby promotes the health, safety and
general welfare of the community.
• SHOD, Special Highway Overlay District (Existing) – The purpose of the Special
Highway Overlay District (SHOD) is to protect the natural beauty and scenic vista
that exists along interstate highways and other specifically designated roadways that
3
serve as major accesses and gateways into the City of Wilmington. Protection of
these roadways is important and necessary to maintain and preserve the
undisturbed roadsides that are characterized by their natural woodlands and open
spaces. The continued protection of these scenic highways is also a valuable asset
to the tourism economy and enhances the attractiveness of the area for trade and
investment.
• UMX, Urban Mixed Use (Proposed) – UMX zoning outside the 1945 corporate limits
is intended to promote mixed-use developments on sites large enough to create a
mix of uses within the existing suburban environment. Typically these developments
will include creative development and redevelopment solutions such as integrated,
vertical mixed use and structured parking. This district is not intended to be applied
to the Central Business District (CBD), nor any of the historic districts.

Summary of Traffic Volume Analysis

• The overall analysis shows that, even with the exclusion of trips captured internally,
the project would increase traffic volumes on Military Cutoff by over 40%. The impact
of this volume increase would be compounded by the design, the potential number of
trips generated and the limited location of the project to Military Cutoff Road.
• Military Cutoff Road is currently operating at a Level of Service F. The additional
traffic generated by the project traffic would further exacerbate the traffic overloading
on Military Cutoff Road from 1.35 times the capacity of the roadway to 1.91 times the
capacity--about twice the maximum design capacity. By way of caparison,
acceptable road volumes throughout the city range from 0.65 to 0.8.
Proposed Mitigation of Traffic Impacts on Overcapacity Road

• The City of Wilmington allows applicants requesting the rezoning of a property on an
overcapacity road to identify factors that may serve to mitigate the impacts of the
additional development. The applicant for this rezoning request has included options,
summarized in Table 4.1.6 below, to mitigate the impact of the proposed rezoning on
Military Cutoff Road. (Also see Attachment 7)

Access Considerations as Identified in the Traffic impact Analysis (TIA)

• Military Cutoff Road is a state-maintained route within the city. The applicant has
worked with NCDOT to address ingress and egress issues related to the proposed
project, as well as to mitigate traffic impacts on the effective operation of some
portion of Military Cutoff Road. Recommendations for roadway and street designs,
as identified in the TIA, are listed below. It should be noted, however, that these
recommendations are unable to address the larger issues of roadway capacity, traffic
volumes, and traffic distribution.
• A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was originally submitted on October 17, 2016 and
reviewed by NCDOT, the City of Wilmington and the MPO. The TIA was approved on
June 9, 2017 and recommended road improvements as listed in Attachment 5.
• Access would be provided as follows:
o One full movement signalized connection from Military Cutoff Road.
o One right-in/right-out driveway on Military Cutoff Road north of the proposed
signalized intersection.
o One single ingress only from Military Cutoff Road at the Station Road
intersection.
o One full connection to Lance Drive behind building 2.
6
• The TIA approval letter notes that the effective operation of this section of Military Cutoff
Road is directly related to the limited number of signal phases at proposed Site Access 3,
Station Road, Arboretum Drive, and Covil Farm Road due to the fact that they are all “T”
intersections, or operate as such due to extremely low traffic volumes on one leg.
• The TIA approval further states to retain the operational integrity of this section of the
corridor it is imperative that a fourth leg is not added to these intersections. This may
preclude any future development on the north side of Military Cutoff Road that requires
access to the roadway at these intersections.
• Please note that the requested full-access median break at Site Access 3 does not meet the
spacing requirements of NCDOT’s Median Crossover Guidelines. The NCDOT Division
office is recommending approval of the full-access median break; however, final approval is
the responsibility of the NCDOT State Traffic Engineer.
A.4.2 Transit Service

• Wave Transit provides service to this area via route 104. If the request is approved,
one or more bus stops would need to be added at this location as a condition of the
approval.
A.4.3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities

• A 10-foot multi-use path exists along the frontage of Military Cutoff Road.
• If approved, clearly defined pedestrian circulation, including sidewalks and
crosswalks, would be required to connect all uses internal to the project. Bicycle
and/or pedestrian connectivity would also be required to adjacent or nearby existing
developments.
A.4.4 Public Utilities

• The site has access to public (CFPUA) water and sewer mains.
• An 8-inch private sewer main exists within the subject site but would be abandoned
under this project.
Table A.4.4.1 Cape Fear Public Utilities (CFPUA)

Type Ownership Size Location
Water Main (Existing) CFPUA 8-inch Military Cutoff Road
Sewer Main (Existing) CFPUA 10-inch Rear of 565 Military Cutoff Road
A.4.5 Stormwater
• The requirements of the City of Wilmington Stormwater Management
Ordinance and the New Hanover County Erosion Control Ordinance would
apply.
• Since the site is located within the Conservation Area & Watershed Resource
Protection of the CAMA Land Use Classification Map, impervious surface
cannot exceed 25 percent of the total site acreage unless the project is
exceptionally designed.
• The applicant has not shown compliance with exceptional design, but would be
added as a condition if approved.
A.4.6 Parking
• Parking requirements would be addressed by the TRC with each development
plan submission.
A.4.7 Other Reviews

• The project would require additional review and approval from the TRC prior to
construction release.

B. Special Use Permit
B.1 SUP Request Concerning Building Height

As part of the proposal, the applicant is requesting that some buildings be up to 75
feet in height. These buildings are shown in Figure B.1 below.
Figure B.1 Buildings Proposed for a Height of Up to 75 Feet.
Height increase
requested up to
75 feet
The UMX District, for which the applicant is requesting rezoning, sets forth the following
standards for building height:

***
(c) General regulations
***
(2) Building setbacks
***
b. Outside the 1945 Corporate Limits, where buildings abut single-family

zoning districts, building heights shall be limited within certain setbacks,
according to the following table:

35 feet 35 feet
45 feet 45 feet
45 feet 55 feet*
45 feet 75 feet**
*Only along arterial streets and when structured parking is provided
**Requires special use permit
Thus, a special use permit is required for all buildings seeking a maximum
building height of up to 75 feet.
B.2 Standard Special Use Requirements

In addition to the provision calling for a special use permit for the 75-foot height
requested, all four of the following factors must be found to exist for any special use
permit to be granted:
a. 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
by the issuance of the special use permit;
b. That the use meets all required conditions and specifications;
c. That the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting
property, or that the use is a public necessity; and
d. 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 city's comprehensive plan, the CAMA
plan, and adopted special area plans (i.e. corridor plans, neighborhood plans,
Wilmington Vision 2020: A Waterfront Downtown Plan).
B.3 Findings of Fact

The following findings of fact will be made part of the record for this project:
1) The property is currently zoned MHP, Manufactured Housing Park District and the
proposed zoning is UMX (CD), Urban Mixed-Use District (Conditional District).
2) The by-right height for structures within the UMX district is 45 feet.
3) A rezoning to UMX would allow structures up to 55 feet in height along arterial
streets when structured parking is provided. Structures above 55 feet in height to a
maximum of 75 feet are only allowed with issuance of a special use permit.
4) Structures above 55 feet in height to a maximum of 75 feet would require a 45-foot
setback from all property lines when abutting single-family zoning districts.
5) Single-family zoning abuts the subject site to the north and east.
6) The proposal includes five out of ten structures with a maximum height of up to 75
feet.
7) UMX requires a maximum building setback of 10 feet from Military Cutoff Road.
Building 1 complies with the setbacks of the UMX while Buildings 2 and 3 do not
comply with maximum building setbacks.
8) The Composite Growth Map of the Comprehensive Plan shows a Neighborhood
Node at Station Road and Military Cutoff, within an Area of Opportunity, as the
intended place type for the subject property. The Neighborhood Node specifies a low
intensity neighborhood center with small scale buildings of one to three stories in
height. No large scale Mixed-use Center is assigned to this location.

CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS
Create Wilmington Comprehensive Plan

The following analysis examines the proposal relative to the policies of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. Policies that most pertain to the proposed amendment are provided
below. Policies identified range from those in strong support of the project to those in strong
non-support. Not all policies carry equal weight, and may depend on the specifics of the
proposal. The policy analysis uses the following symbology:
Strong Support Modest Support Modest Non-support Strong Non-support
Map Mixed Use Centers

Neighborhood Node
Size small-scale centers of activity appropriately to the neighborhood.
Situate buildings close to the street, with parking placed behind.
Scale buildings at heights of one - three stories; buildings should be compatible with
surrounding character areas.
Screen surface parking lots, and design lots to enhance rather than inhibit pedestrian
mobility.
Application:
The Mixed-use Centers Map of the Comprehensive Plan shows only a low intensity
Neighborhood Node at Station Road and Military Cutoff Road as the designated place type
for the subject property. This designation calls for a small scale center, typically with
screened parking behind one to three story buildings pulled up to the street. In contrast, the
proposal calls for a large scale, commercial destination center with buildings up to 75 feet in
height with a combination of parking decks and surface parking lots.
Map Areas of Opportunity

Greenfield Sites as Multi-use Places
Make connections to adjacent areas and incorporate them into new development.
Provide abundant open space and buffers along low-density neighborhoods, but
integrate with existing multifamily and commercial areas.
Maximize structured parking and concealed parking and minimize the use of large
surface parking lots.
Develop multi-use areas and provide multimodal connections between various uses.
Ensure a walkable block structure and a clear hierarchy of complete streets.
Provide Main Streets with pedestrian friendly storefronts and street furniture.
Application:
The property is located in an area identified by the Comprehensive Plan as a “Greenfield
Site as a Multi-Use Place”. This would seem to support the proposal. However, the Mixed-
use Centers Map of the Comprehensive Plan was careful to not identify the property as
being located in a Mixed-use Center, due to its lack of necessary connectivity to more than
one street for major traffic distribution. The project is also not well connected to adjacent
areas, has a mix of structured and surface parking, and a mix of complete and auto-oriented
streets. The project does provide a main street for a portion of the development.
10
Map Corridors & Complete Streets

Major Corridors & Regional Parkways
Prioritize motor vehicle mobility.
Application:
The Comprehensive Plan identifies Military Cutoff Road as a Major Corridor for the
movement of traffic into and through the city. As noted previously, the project does not
prioritize motor vehicle mobility on Military Cutoff Road, but rather adds large volumes of
traffic to this already overloaded corridor, due to a development program heavily weighted
toward intensive commercial development.
Land Use and Transportation

1.3.3 Development should provide pedestrian and vehicular connections between and
within individual development sites to provide alternative means of access along
corridors.
1.3.4 Mixed-use development that provides a range of services within walking
distance of integrated residential development should be promoted as a way to
help reduce motor vehicle trips. Developments that reduce reliance on single-
occupancy motor vehicles should be supported.
1.3.9 Development near major road intersections or interchanges should cluster to
create a node or nodes at the intersection, preferably including vertical and
horizontal mix of uses.
Application
The proposal does not include significant vehicular connections between adjoining
development sites along Military Cutoff Road. It does provide for a mix of uses within
walking distance of residential development internal to the project. The proposal is not near
a major road intersection or interchange to allow for an appropriate clustering of vertical and
horizontal mixed uses near such a location.
Mixed-use Development
1.5.1 Mixed-use centers should be made up of a diverse mix of uses and integrated
design that avoids segregation of uses. Centers should have well-planned
public spaces that bring people together and provide opportunities for active
living and social interactions.
1.5.2 Integration and mix of uses should be provided within all “Areas of
Opportunity” and “Mixed-use Centers” identified in the Growth Strategies
Maps. These developments may vary in scale and intensity, but should all
contribute to the city’s livability, manage future growth, and provide bike,
pedestrian, and transit accessible destinations.
1.5.3 The development of mixed-use activity centers with multimodal transportation
connections should be promoted. Convenient and accessible residential and
employment should be a part of mixed-use centers.
Application
The assignment of these scores are accurate but misleading, as the only type of mixed-use
center assigned to this location by the Comprehensive Plan is a low intensity Neighborhood
Node. As noted previously, the Comprehensive Plan was careful to not identify the property
as being located in a Mixed Use Center of higher intensity, due to its lack of necessary
connectivity to the greater road network. The scores give credit for a mixed use
development, but the location as proposed is not suitable for handling the traffic.
11
Retail Land Uses

1.9.2 Regional retail development, including “big box” and regional malls, should be
located where access is available from at least two major roadways, with
access via both roadways; internal connections should be supported.
1.9.3 Retail development should be encouraged in “Mixed-use Centers” as identified
on the Growth Strategies Maps and should be discouraged in linear strip
patterns.
Application:
The applicant has identified the project as a regional destination, including a major hotel,
conference center, upscale retail and dining, and luxury apartments. Understandably,
growth policies as well as traffic management concerns, have long held that regional
destinations need to be located where access to at least two major thoroughfares is
available.
Policies 2 Transportation
Land Use and Transportation Coordination
2.1.2 Safe and attractive transportation choices among all modes should be
encouraged through street patterns that consider multimodal transportation
alternatives and access to and circulation between adjacent neighborhoods,
parks, and commercial and employment centers.
Application
The proposal does not present significant alternatives and access between adjacent
neighborhoods, parks, and commercial and employment centers.
Street Systems
2.2.2 New residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments that require
construction or extension of roadways should include a multimodal network.
The use of cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets should be minimized.
2.2.3 New development should be encouraged to connect to the existing street
network through collector streets, which should tie into the existing network at
multiple points to improve trip distribution and emergency access. Street stubs
for future connections should be encouraged.
2.2.4 Access management strategies should be applied based on the functional
characteristics of the roadway, surrounding land uses, and roadway users.
Curb cuts along public streets should be minimized. Internal connections
between parking lots should be encouraged.
Application
Fundamentally, the project is designed as a large, predominantly commercial, cul-de-sac
that empties all of its traffic onto Military Cutoff. The project does not connect to an existing
street network at multiple points to improve trip distribution. One potential connection via a
minor street stub has been proposed. While curb cuts on to Military Cutoff Road have been
minimized, this is not by choice but rather by mandate, in an effort to manage access and
egress from the site. The minimization of curb cuts along Military Cutoff Road at the project
is not able to address bigger issues of traffic volume based on the potential number of trips
per the TIA.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation

2.6.2 A continuous bicycle and pedestrian network should be provided within and
12
between existing and new developments to facilitate safe and convenient

travel. New subdivisions, mixed-use developments, and largescale commercial
developments should include safe pedestrian walkways or multiuse paths that
allow direct links between roadways and major destinations, transit stops, and
schools.
Application
It is expected that the project will have good pedestrian and bike facilities within the project
and will connect to the multi-use path already in place along the east side of Military Cutoff
Road. Connections to surrounding neighborhoods such as Landfall remain in doubt.
Parking Management
2.7.1 The amount of land devoted to surface parking should be minimized through
measures such as parking decks and underground parking, shared parking,
flexible ordinance requirements, improved parking standards, the
implementation of transportation demand management plans, and provision of
public transit to reduce parking needs.
2.7.4 On-street parking and drop-off areas should be located adjacent to sidewalks
as a buffer to vehicular traffic, to maximize on-street parking turn-over, and for
customer convenience. Excessive parking between sidewalks and building
fronts should be discouraged.
Application
The project makes good use of structured parking to minimize the amount of land devoted to
vehicular storage over much of the site. Surface parking along the frontage of Military Cutoff
Road has been minimized to the side and rear of Building 1. No surface parking is proposed
in front of any proposed building.
Policies 9 Urban Design and Placemaking

Unique Wilmington
9.1.2 Visual interest should be created with well-designed building facades,
storefront windows, and attractive signage and lighting. Poorly articulated,
monolithic or box-like facades should be avoided, especially those placing
large, blank walls adjoining public spaces.
9.1.3 The established façade lines and rhythm of buildings along city streets should
be maintained by aligning the front walls of new construction with the
prevailing facades of adjacent buildings. Where expansive parking lots adjoin
public rights-of-way, consideration should be given to locating buildings
appropriately to the street, with most parking located to the side and rear of
buildings.
Application
Materials submitted with the application indicate that the buildings planned under the
proposal would be of strong visual character, with equally attractive signage and lighting.
Pedestrian-oriented Placemaking
9.3.1 Mixed-use buildings and multi-use development sites should be encouraged
where appropriate. Infill development that creates a destination for existing
land uses should include opportunities for cross-site pedestrian connections,
shared parking arrangements and other strategies to enhance mixed-use
environments.
9.3.2 Comfortable, safe, and convenient pedestrian places should be promoted
through buildings that face the street, avoidance of deep front setbacks, and
providing direct pedestrian connections and entries along the public space
network.
13
9.3.4 Attractive and interesting commercial streetscapes should be created by

promoting active ground-floor uses, creating desirable street activities,
minimizing curb cuts and driveways, and avoiding windowless facades and
large gaps in the street wall.
9.3.7 On-street parking should be provided along pedestrian oriented streets to act
as a buffer from vehicular traffic. Surface parking should be confined to the
rear or side of buildings.
Application
From the standpoint of pedestrian orientation and placemaking internal to the project, the
proposal has many worthwhile aspects of design and functionality. Half circles have been
awarded due to the uncertainty of the ultimate design of the proposed outparcels along the
frontage of Military Cutoff.
Mixed-use Centers and Places

9.6.1 New housing of mixed types and prices should be encouraged in proximity to
and within employment areas, Mixed-use Centers, and Neighborhood Nodes, as
identified on the Growth Strategies Maps.
9.6.2 Redevelopment, infill, and mixed uses should be facilitated in areas designated
as Mixed-use Centers and Neighborhood Nodes, with a centrally-located
signature public space or destination as a focal point, such as an urban plaza
or commercial street lined with active building frontages.
9.6.3 Infill and redevelopment should enhance the desirable characteristics that
make each part of Wilmington unique. New neighborhood centers and mixed-
use developments should use one or more “main streets” and public gathering
spaces as a central focal point.
Application
The first policy above was given a half red circle because the housing proposed for the
project is not described as being of “mixed types and prices”, but rather luxury apartments.
The last two policies are given full blue circles to acknowledge the many features
representative of a quality mixed use center, despite its inappropriate scale and intensity for
this particular site.
City of Wilmington Strategic Plan

The proposal presents elements of support and non-support from the City of Wilmington
Strategic Plan. Focus Areas that pertain to the proposal include the following:
Foster a Prosperous, Thriving Economy:
• The City will promote opportunity and prosperity by fostering sustainable, regionally
coordinated economic growth and development strategies for creating jobs, building
a strong workforce, facilitating commerce and business vitality.
Support Efficient Transportation Systems
• The City will advocate for, develop, and maintain diverse modes of transportation
needed for an inclusive, connected community. Greenways, pedestrian and bicycle
amenities and a regionally focused multi-modal transportation system will increase
mobility and regional connectivity.
Application:
From an economic standpoint, the project offers the promise of additional services,
employment and a significant addition to the tax base. From a transportation standpoint, the
project fails to address significant concerns regarding regional mobility and connectivity.
These mobility concerns appear to outweigh the economic benefits.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed development has numerous desirable features consistent with the policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. The concern is the potential number of trips and the intensity of
this development at this location on Military Cutoff Road. All traffic movements to and from
the project would be on Military Cutoff Road that is already overcapacity. The secondary
access would be on Station Road, a 2-lane road that ends at an unsignalized intersection of
Market Street. Looking at other major commercial developments and destinations in the
area, the property lacks access to a second major road to offset traffic. Consider the
developments listed below, several of which are not of the size of this project, but for which
no less that two significant means of access are available.
Name Two or More Access Streets

Independence Mall Oleander Drive & Independence Boulevard
Long Leaf Mall South College Road & Shipyard Blvd
Mayfaire Military Cutoff Road & Eastwood Road
Smith Creek Station Eastwood Road & Market Street
University Centre South College Road, New Centre Drive, & Randall Parkway
Hanover Center Oleander Drive & Independence Boulevard
The Pointe at Barclay Independence Boulevard & South 17th Street
Plaza East Eastwood Road and Wrightsville Avenue
Fulton Station South 17 Street and South College Road
Walmart/Lowes Carolina Beach Road and South College Road
In sum, the proposal is a major destination-type project in the wrong location with insufficient
road system connectivity to distribute the heavy traffic volumes generated by the
development. Despite efforts by the applicant to mitigate the development’s traffic impact on
Military Cutoff Road, the projected 40+ % increase in traffic on a critical, already heavily
congested major thoroughfare is the overriding issue that must be given precedence.

Exhibit “A”
Options to Mitigate Impact of

Rezonings on Overcapacity Roads
The following is a menu of options that can be utilized to demonstrate the merits a more intense zoning
classification or land use may have despite being located on an overcapacity roadway. An overcapacity road is
defined as any road with an average daily volume of vehicle trips that exceeds its designed capacity
(volume/capacity ratio > 1). Applicants who wish to take advantage of this policy should provide a narrative as
part of their submittal that outlines how their proposal addresses any or all of these criteria. The greater the
number of criteria being addressed generally conveys a greater value to the community. This narrative will be
included as part of staff’s analysis of a proposed rezoning request for property accessing overcapacity roads.
1. The proposed rezoning would allow for a more viable land use and is consistent with City Council’s
economic development priorities.
a. The proposal improves the form and function of an underutilized site and maximizes land use efficiency
based on area characteristics such as existing infrastructure, unique site characteristics, adjacent uses,
needs of the community and geographic location.
2. The proposed rezoning would ensure a more efficient transportation system relative to:
a. Location - The site is located at an interconnected node of two major roads so that vehicle trips would be
dispersed to at least two arterial roadways, or one arterial road and one collector street (as identified by
the WMPO Functional Classification Map).
b. Interconnectivity - The proposal provides interconnections to adjacent developments and/or to signalized
intersections or completes a collector road network.
c. Access management - The proposal incorporates shared driveways for multiple uses, provides frontage
roads and/or alleyways, or closes existing driveways.
d. Traffic calming - The proposal incorporates appropriate traffic calming measures on roadway
connections to and from adjacent developments.
e. Access to Public Transportation - The site is located along an established transit route and the proposal
incorporates and provides for a public transit stop and shelter (Coordinated with WAVE Transit).
f. Access to Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities - The site is located adjacent to a city designated bicycle and/
or pedestrian route or a facility that connects to a designated route.
3. The proposed rezoning would ensure a more efficient and/or environmentally sensitive develop-
ment pattern relative to:
a. Mix of uses - The requested rezoning is for a mixed-use zoning classification or a conditional district that
incorporates a mix of compatible uses.
b. Environmental design - The proposal meets or exceeds exceptional design criteria, employs low-impact
development (LID) techniques, meets LEED or comparable standards in building designs or meets
applicable watershed restoration recommendations.
4. The impact of any additional traffic generated by the proposed rezoning would be mitigated by a
scheduled/funded city or state transportation project or by guaranteed developer improvements.
a. There is a currently funded project within the city’s Capital Improvements Program;
b. There is a currently funded project within the NC DOT Transportation Improvement Program;
c. The proposal includes improvements over and above those identified as part of an approved traffic
impact analysis; or
d. The proposal incorporates improvements consistent with applicable adopted plans.
5. Site is a redevelopment/reuse of a previously developed site and would result in improved site
conditions relative to:
a. Stormwater management - The redevelopment would result in a net decrease in impervious coverage
and/or an improvement to onsite stormwater treatment (water quality) and storage (water quantity).
b. Landscaping - The redevelopment includes landscaping that significantly exceeds minimum
requirements.
c. Aesthetics - The redevelopment would be compatible with and/or would enhance the character of the
surrounding area consistent with applicable adopted plans.
6. The proposed development would positively impact other critical infrastructure, including but not
limited to:
a. Overcrowded schools
b. Regional stormwater management
c. Bike paths / multi-use trails
d. Crosswalks (at locations necessary to traverse the overcapacity road)
e. Parks and recreational land and facilities
f. Preservation of environmentally sensitive land substantially above minimum requirements
REPORT OF COMMUNITY MEETING REQUIRED BY THE WILMINGTON CITY CODE
FOR CD REZONING
To: Penelope Spicer-Sidbury, City Clerk
Case No.:
The Avenue
Location: Military Cutoff
Proposed Zoning: UMX-CD and Special Use Permit
The undersigned hereby certifies that written notice of a community meeting on the above zoning application was
given to the adjacent property owners set forth on the attached list by first class mail on April 22, 2013. A copy of
the written notice is also attached.
The meeting was held at the following time and place: November 28, 2016
NE New Hanover County Library
5pm to 6:30pm
The persons in attendance at the meeting were:

Leon Socua (510 Arboretum Dr. frank Kenan Chapel)
Karen Thompson 910 Twisted Oak Place
Dan House 322 Lance Drive
Jen House 322 Lance Drive
Patrick Riley for Joe Lomusk 219 Station Road
The following issues were discussed at the meeting:

• Mr. Carrol gave an overview of the company’s other projects and stated he intends to own this project
following completion.
• The development will consist of high end retail (no “big boxes”), residential and office, and a grocery
component. There will be approximately 200,000sf of retail.
• A majority of the parking is structured and/or screened.
• Westin Hotel is the anchor tenant with approx. 250 rooms.
• A resident asked if the developer owned the property and was told that a portion was under contract
and the rest is owned by the developer.
• There is a major buffer area between the office buildings and the residential area. The area will be
largely untouched because it consists of wetlands.
• The development is approximately 500 feet from Kenan Chapel.
• The design calls for high density and walkability. The goal is to limit the use of the car within the
project.
• North Hills in Raleigh is a good comparison to this project conception.
• Mr. Carroll was asked when construction would begin. He stated that he anticipated beginning
construction in 2018.
• NCDOT has completion for the project at Market Street and Military Cutoff scheduled for 2020.
• These traffic improvements should help mitigate trips that may be added. The goal is to have no traffic
impact.
• The developer is looking into a pedestrian access to Land Fall which will be restricted.
• Approximately 500 residential units, 200 being age restricted (55 plus) and 300 market rate units.
• Residential units range from 800sf to 1500sf.
• Timeline for construction is 3-5 years.
As a result of the meeting, the following changes were made to the rezoning petition:
• No changes were requested and none have been made to the plan as a result of the meeting.
