Proposed Zoning, Use(s), & Narrative

R-7
Proposed Conditional Zoning District: ______________________ 7.97 ac.
Total Acreage of Proposed District: __________

Only uses allowed by right in the corresponding General Use District are eligible for consideration within a Conditional
Zoning District. Please list the uses that will be allowed within the proposed Conditional Zoning District, the purpose
of the district, and a project narrative (please provide additional pages if needed).
________________________________________________________
The purpose of the R-7 district is to encourage medium density development where adequate services are
________________________________________________________
already available. It allows a greater variety of housing types provided that environmental impacts are
________________________________________________________
minimized and adequate open space is provided. The proposed townhome development is an acceptable
________________________________________________________
transition between the busy highway corridor and the more established single-family housing beyond the rear
________________________________________________________
boundary of the tract.

Proposed Condition(s)
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.
________________________________________________________
Reference attached site plan for layout and improvements. Exhibits of the building styles and general materials
________________________________________________________
are included in the submittal. The developer is working with the adjacent community association to identify
________________________________________________________
additional provisions that can mitigate any impacts to the existing neighborhood. A Memorandum of
________________________________________________________
Understanding will be presented during the approval process to document those concessions.

CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT

The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be
consistent with the New Hanover County Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance objective and where only a specific
use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of very
dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, c an
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 Use Zoning District
meets the following criteria.

1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development? (For
example: the Comprehensive Plan and applicable small area plans)
_____________________________________________________
The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every
_____________________________________________________
citizen. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill and maximizing use of lands already
_____________________________________________________
accessible to urban services. More density not only increases tax base, but makes better use of the existing
_____________________________________________________
infrastructure.

2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning District be consistent with the property’s classification on the
Future Land Use Map located within the Comprehensive Plan?
_____________________________________________________
The tract has been identified in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as a Community Mixed-use place type.
_____________________________________________________
The plan suggests higher densities to support the small-scale, compact development patterns the the place
_____________________________________________________
type promotes.
_____________________________________________________
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 property was rezoned for business uses back in the past before the highway was improved and this
_____________________________________________________
portion of Market Street became more of a service road. That has made many business uses less than
_____________________________________________________
viable for this location. Rezoning this property for moderate density residential development is a more
_____________________________________________________
logical transition to the adjacent single-family development.

From: Cindee Wolf

Re: Plantation Landing Townhomes

The owner of the property at the intersection of Plantation Landing Drive with Market
Street is interested in developing a townhome community. This tract is within 500 feet of
your property. This proposal would require approval from New Hanover County because
the land is currently zoned for business uses rather than residential homes.

A Conditional 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 hold a meeting for all property owners within 500
feet of the tract boundary, and any and all other interested parties. This provides neighbors
with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered
concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts.

A meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 31st, at the Plantation Landing Community
Clubhouse, 342 Gaskins Lane, 6:00 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to
contact me at telephone # 620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or
questions.

We appreciate your interest in the project and look forward to being a good neighbor and
an asset to the community.
