Case Overview
ANALYSIS

A. Conditional District Rezoning


A1. Zoning History
• The site is part of an area annexed into the city limits in 1995 (effective 1/31/99)
• The site was assigned the city’s MHP, Manufactured Housing Park District zoning
classification upon annexation.
A2. Proposal
• The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from MHP, Manufactured
Housing Park District and SHOD (Special Highway Overlay District) to UMX (CD),
Urban Mixed-Use District (Conditional District) without the SHOD for the construction
of a large-scale, mixed use development.
• Access to the project would be provided by a median break and traffic signal on
Military Cutoff Road.
A3. 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 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 District (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.

A.4 Impact of Rezoning/Development on Public Services, Facilities, and Infrastructure

A.4.1 Vehicular Traffic


• Table 4.1.1 below indicates that Military Cutoff Road is currently operating at a Level of
Service F. Tables 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 indicate that there would be an increase in the
estimated vehicle trips associated with the proposal when compared to the maximum
intensity allowed under the current zoning. Based upon the previous TIA, including
estimates of internal capture, the volume increase on Military Cutoff will be no less
than 30%, even with the reduced development program as proposed.

• Based on the intensity of the proposed use, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was required.
The approval letter for the TIA was issued on 6/9/17 and is valid for two years (see
Attachment 12). Based on this approval the following traffic improvements will be required:
o Military Cutoff Road at Covil Farm Road – No improvements recommended
o Military Cutoff Road at Arboretum Drive – Provide continuous through/right turn
lane to Covil Farm Road and modify signal to accommodate through lane.
o Military Cutoff Road at Station Road and Site Access 1
 Site access limited to a single lane ingress lane only, no egress.

CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

 Construct additional northbound through/right turn lane and modify signal to


accommodate through lane.
 Limit southbound left turn lane to U-turn only.
 Provide 3-lane cross-section for eastbound Station Road with a left-turn, right-turn,
and through lane with full storage back to Sea Spray Drive.
o Military Cutoff Road at Site Access 2 – Right-in/right-out only
 Site access with one ingress lane.
 Construct additional northbound through/right turn lane.
o Military Cutoff Road at Site Access 3 – Full-movement, signalized intersection
 Site access with two ingress lanes and four egress lanes (dual left- and right-turn
lanes.
 Construct additional northbound through/right-turn lane.
 Install traffic signal and connect to city’s signal system.
 Construct dual southbound left-turn lanes with 400-feet of storage.
 Construct northbound right-turn lane with 175-feet of storage.
 Construct northbound U-turn lane with 200-feet of storage.
o Military Cutoff Road at Cayman Court
 Convert northbound right-turn lane to a continuous through/right turn lane, which
will extend to Covil Farm Road, and modify signal to accommodate through lane.
 Extend existing right-turn lane to provide 500-feet of storage.

Figure 2. Surrounding Road Network

• Access to the site is limited to one full-access signalized intersection on Military Cutoff
Road, a single-lane ingress from Station Road, and a road connection that allows
access to a right-in/right-out intersection at Westwood Drive and Military Cutoff Road.
The proposed access would require all traffic leaving the site to exit on to Military
Cutoff Road.
• Staff and the applicant have discussed the possibility of establishing vehicular
connections to the north (Arboretum Drive) and south (Old MacCumber Station Road).
Should the proposal be approved, staff has recommended a condition that a stub
road/drive be provided to the south to allow for a future connection to Old MacCumber
Station Road. The applicant is also pursuing a connection point to Arboretum Drive via

CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

E. Westwood Drive. As this latter connection would be considered an off-site


improvement, it cannot be conditioned as part of this request.

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 11)

B. Special Use Permit
B.1 Proposal
• The applicant has requested to rezone the subject site to UMX (CD), Urban Mixed-use
(Conditional District). The Land Development Code (LDC) limits the height of
structures in the UMX district to four stories or a maximum of 45 feet by right, or 55
feet with the inclusion of structured parking. Structures up to a maximum of 75 feet
may be permitted upon the issuance of a special use permit or entry into a
development agreement in accordance with NC General Statures that provide for such
increase.
• The applicant requests the issuance of a Special Use Permit to allow an increase
in height up to 75 feet for four of the proposed structures (hotel and three mixed-
use buildings).

• A special use permit is required to allow an increase in height up to 75 feet for the
proposed structures.
• The 75-foot structures must be setback a minimum of 45 feet from the adjacent R-15
zoning districts (Landfall, Lance Drive, Old MacCumber Station Road). The proposed
structures are no less than 160 feet from any adjacent single-family residential district.
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 applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from MHP, Manufactured
Housing Park District and SHOD (Special Highway Overlay District) to UMX (CD),
Urban Mixed-Use District (Conditional District) without the SHOD for the
construction of a large-scale mixed-use development.
2) The Land Development Code (LDC) limits the height of structures in the UMX
district to four stories or a maximum of 45 feet by right, or 55 feet with the inclusion
of structured parking. Structures up to a maximum of 75 feet may be permitted
upon the issuance of a special use permit or entry into a development agreement
in accordance with NC General Statures that provide for such increase.
3) The applicant has requested the issuance of a Special Use Permit to allow an
increase in height up to 75 feet for four of the proposed structures (hotel and three
mixed-use buildings).
10
CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

4) Single-family zoning abuts the subject site on all sides. The UMX district requires
buildings that are 75 feet in height to be setback a minimum of 45 feet from single-
family zoning districts.
5) The proposed 75-foot tall structures must be setback a minimum of 45 feet from
the adjacent R-15 zoning districts. The structures are setback no less than 160 feet
from the existing R-15 districts.

CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS

Create Wilmington Comprehensive Plan


The site is identified as within a Greenfield Sites as Multi-use Places Area of Opportunity
and is adjacent to an identified Neighborhood Node. The site is also located along an
identified High-capacity Transit Route. The comprehensive plans calls for mixed-use
development that includes multi-modal connections to adjacent areas, provides abundant
open space, utilizes structured parking to minimize surface parking, and incorporates
building and site designs that create walkable streetscapes. Neighborhood Nodes are
identified as small-scale centers that provide office and retail uses in a central neighborhood
locations with limited height, pedestrian friendly designs, and multiple bike and pedestrian
connections.

The Comprehensive Plan further calls for developments to establish a well-connected


system of streets, paths, and sidewalks that provide multi-modal access to and from
surrounding areas, offering an alternative means of access along our major road corridors.
The plan supports higher-density development along planned transit routes to support the
required demand to operate the public transit system. The Comprehensive Plan encourages
the inclusion of office space in mixed-use developments to fill a demand for this product type
in the region. The plan supports diverse and accessible lodging and accommodations to
support tourism growth in the area. The Plan also calls for the creation of “main streets” that
serve as public gathering spaces and central focal points for developments. Thus, the
proposed development is consistent with some Comprehensive Plan principles and
inconsistent with others.

The following analysis examines the proposal relative to the policies of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan in greater detail. 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. It should be noted that, for the Avenue project, many
policies have elements of both support and non-support due to the high quality design
internal to the project offset by other, less positive aspects of the project relative to the
surrounding context. 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.
Offer some retail and office uses in a central neighborhood location.
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.

Include multiple bike and pedestrian connections to surrounding residential areas.


Screen surface parking lots, and design lots to enhance rather than inhibit pedestrian mobility.
Comments: The closest Mixed Use Center to this location is a Neighborhood Node located at the
intersection of Military Cutoff and Station roads. This section of policies compares the Avenue
project with the intended development of a Neighborhood Node.
Map Areas of Opportunity
Greenfield Sites as Multi-use Places
Encourage town centers and other suburban mixed-use development types.
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.
Ensure a walkable block structure and a clear hierarchy of complete streets.
Provide Main Streets with pedestrian-friendly storefronts and street furniture.
Map Corridors & Complete Streets
Major Corridors & Regional Parkways
Prioritize motor vehicle mobility.
Comments: While the project includes substantial improvements to the Military Cutoff Road corridor, the
site has limited points of access directing all traffic to and from Military Cutoff Road.
Map Transit that Works

Policies 1 Development and City Building
Citywide Growth
1.2.1 Development should create places, streets, and spaces that are visually attractive,
safe, accessible, functional, inclusive, have their own distinct identities, and maintain
or improve desired character.
1.2.2 Development should occur in a compact pattern that reinforces the efficient provision
of public services and utilities, improves the performance of the transportation
network, preserves open space, and reduces negative impacts of low-intensity and
noncontiguous development patterns.
1.2.3 Large-scale development should include provisions for parks, community facilities,
and other amenities to help meet the demands created by the development.

12
CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

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.
1.3.8 Pedestrian-friendly and transit-supportive development patterns should be promoted
along multimodal corridors and areas identified for intensive transit investments.
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.
Compatibility
1.4.1 Quality design and site planning should be promoted so that new development infill
and redevelopment is implemented with minimal adverse impacts on desired
character of the existing built environment.
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.
Mixed-use Development
1.7.3 The need to increase housing supply, neighborhood commerce, and to mature as a
city should be balanced with the need to protect desired neighborhood character,
preserve historic resources, and protect the natural environment.
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.
Comments: Given the strong destination aspect of the Avenue, staff considers the project as a
development with regional impacts; such developments may be retail, institutional, medical, a mixture of
uses, or otherwise. Uses of such scale and intensity should ideally have access to at least two major
roadways.
Infill and Redevelopment
1.11.3 Areas well-suited for infill and redevelopment, should be redeveloped in a way that
maintains or enhances the desired character of the surrounding area, improves
access to goods, services, and amenities, increases housing options, and improves
the overall quality of life in the vicinity.

CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

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.
Street Systems
2.2.1 Gaps in the street system should be eliminated by providing for network connectivity.
The existing grid network should be preserved and extended where feasible to
increase overall connectivity.
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.
Transportation Demand Management
2.5.9 Transit-oriented development should be encouraged. Planning for transportation,
transit stop locations, public spaces, density, and land use should be coordinated,
and high-density, mixed-use development patterns should be encouraged around
express bus lines, the planned multimodal transportation center downtown, and any
future transit stations.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation
2.6.1 Bicycle and pedestrian circulation, access, and safety should be enhanced,
especially along corridors, downtown, in activity and employment centers, within
densely-developed areas, at transit stations, and near schools, libraries, and parks.
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.
2.7.2 Parking and development that encourages multiple destinations within pedestrian-
connected areas should be encouraged.
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.
Policies 3 Housing
Diversity of Housing Options
3.1.6 “Location-efficient housing” should be promoted, encouraged, and preserved where
already existing to help supply Wilmington with diverse housing options that are
accessible to individuals and families of all incomes, needs, and preferences.
Policies 4 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Greenways, Blueways, Trails, and Connectivity
4.2.2 Neighborhood connectivity to trails and greenways should be facilitated. Connections
between neighborhoods, shopping centers, schools, transit stops, and employment
centers should function as transportation alternatives in addition to recreational
amenities.
14
CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

Policies 5 Economic Development


Commercial Corridor Reinvestment
5.1.2 Mixed-use redevelopment should be promoted as a means of revitalizing and
enhancing economic development in commercial corridors and creating transit- and
pedestrian-oriented development patterns.
Economic Development and Land Use
5.5.5 Land use patterns and zoning regulations should support retail, office, and mixed-use
infill and should not push retail to edge locations or promote the abandonment of
existing retail centers. Emerging and re-emerging retail districts should be identified
and encouraged to capitalize on those specific characteristics and niches that make
them distinctive and desirable to patronize.
Tourism and Hospitality
5.6.3 Diverse and accessible lodging and accommodations to support tourism growth
should be supported through partnerships with developers, investors, and other local
organizations.
Policies 6 Environment and Natural Resources
Watershed Protection and Restoration
6.1.1 Restoration, protection, enhancement, and maintenance of watersheds should be a
priority. Existing programs and partnerships with the University North Carolina at
Wilmington and other partners to address water quality should be continued and
expanded.
Sensitive Natural Areas
6.2.2 Opportunities and incentives to mitigate the loss of sensitive areas that occur as part
of the development process should be identified. Impact reduction and avoidance
measures should be based on criteria that take environmentally sensitive natural
areas and habitats into consideration.
Air Quality
6.4.1 Walkable and bikeable communities, public transit, and integrated land use and
transportation planning should be promoted and encouraged to help reduce motor
vehicle emissions.
Policies 8 Community Facilities and Services
Infrastructure
8.1.8 The impacts on the stormwater system from major sources of stormwater runoff,
including buildings, roads, and parking lots should be considered. Sustainable
infrastructure techniques that use soils and vegetation to capture, clean, and reuse
stormwater runoff to reduce runoff velocity and improve water quality should be
implemented.
8.1.17 Growth and redevelopment should be encouraged in areas already served by
adequate utility infrastructure. Utilities extension policies that maximize environmental
sensitivity, encourage greater infill and redevelopment in already urbanized areas,
and protect rural and undeveloped areas should be utilized.
Policies 9 Urban Design and Placemaking
Unique Wilmington
9.1.1 The public realm should be anchored by quality architecture with human-scale
elements that are conducive to pedestrian comfort and mobility.
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.

15
CD-24-518 SU-9-518 The Avenue

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.
9.1.8 New development should reflect the context within which it is constructed, both in
terms of architectural style and urban form. The adaptive reuse of unique buildings
and landscape elements should be encouraged.
Public Space Network
9.2.1 The strategic transformation of public and private spaces into meaningful places
through placemaking should be encouraged. Wilmington should have a robust, well-
connected network of public and semipublic spaces.
9.2.2 Parks, plazas, and other gathering spaces should be designed to be attractive,
accessible, and usable through the orientation and design of adjacent buildings,
connections to nearby areas, and should allow for informal and programmed events.
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.
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.
Neighborhoods
9.5.2 Clear and safe pedestrian networks within, through, and between neighborhoods
should be enhanced. Opportunities to connect existing neighborhoods to adjacent
commercial centers and community facilities and services should be explored.
9.5.5 Buffers and gradual building height changes should be used to transition between
established neighborhoods and higher-density development, though this should not
disrupt or prevent connections between compatible and complementary land uses.
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.

Urban & Mixed/Semi-Urban Frontages


Urban frontages are appropriate in both traditional urban areas and new urban areas,
including downtown, pedestrian business districts, and transit-oriented development areas.
Urban frontages should be used to create street walls and a pedestrian-oriented
environment. In this setting, vehicular access and front door parking are accommodated on-
street. Off-street parking is located to the side, rear, or under buildings, but never between
the buildings and the street.

A mixed, or semi-urban frontage may also be used in intensifying suburban areas,


particularly where multimodal investments are planned and where on-street parking is not a
feasible option for front door access. In such areas, urban frontages may be used and would
likely be confined to side or interior streets where on-street parking could be
accommodated. Elsewhere, off-street front door parking would be available, but limited in
depth so that pedestrian connections remain convenient and direct (Also see Attachment 6).

City of Wilmington Strategic Plan


The proposal presents elements of support and non-support from the City of Wilmington
Strategic Plan. While the project would support tourism growth and help create a transit- and
pedestrian-oriented development pattern, the limited site access would result in a large
amount of traffic to be added to one of the city’s major road corridors. 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.

Provide Sustainability and Adaptability


• The city will protect and preserve our natural resources with quality design for the
built environment. The city will make strategic decisions focused on the long-term
financial, physical, and social health of the entire city to enhance our ability to
respond to changing economic and demographic conditions. Our actions will be
based on a shared commitment to inclusiveness, equity, and continuous
improvement.

CONCLUSIONS

The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property for the construction of a large-scale
development that includes a hotel, office, retail space, and apartments. The project will
require a new median break and traffic signal on Military Cutoff Road. This new traffic signal
would provide the primary access for the proposed mixed-use development. The project
includes structured and on-street parking to accommodate the proposed density.

The Comprehensive Plan calls for balanced, mixed-use development that includes multi-
modal connections, abundant open space, structured parking, and walkable streetscapes.
The plan also calls for developments to establish a well-connected system of streets, paths,
and sidewalks that provide multi-modal access to and from surrounding areas, offering an
alternative means of access along our major road corridors. The plan supports higher-
density development along planned transit routes to support the required demand to operate
the public transit system. The plan also supports diverse and accessible lodging and
accommodations to support tourism growth in the area.

The proposed development has numerous desirable features consistent with the policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. The project would provide additional lodging options that would
support tourism growth. The project would create a pedestrian-oriented development pattern
within its bounds. The primary concern is the potential number of vehicle trips and the
intensity of this development at this location on Military Cutoff Road. The applicant is
pursuing additional road connections to the north and south of the site, but there is currently
no guarantee that these connections will be established and it is unknown what impact
these connections would have on the overall trip distribution for the project. The project
would have a significant positive economic development impact by supporting tourism
growth as well as the city’s tax base. The limited access to the site would result in a large
amount of traffic being added to one of the city’s major road corridors that is already
operating over its capacity.

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

THE AVENUE ‐ NARRATIVE TABLE  Received 3/28/18 
OPTIONS TO MITIGATE IMPACT OF REZONINGS ON OVERCAPACITY ROADS 

Applicant’s Stated Criteria   Applicant’s Statement in Support 

Viable Land Use /  The project provides an opportunity to redevelop an existing underutilized site 
Consistent with City  into an urban mixed‐use development to serve the growing Military Cutoff 
economic development  Road corridor. As reflected in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, urban mixed‐use 
priorities   projects especially in this area of the City are a priority because, among other 
things, mixed uses in a growth area reduce trips by providing residential options 
(1) (a)  
closer to services.  
 
The Avenue offers a unique and desirable mix and level of development that 
will enhance economic growth and development in Wilmington on par with the 
North Hills development’s effects in Raleigh and the effects of upscaling South 
Park Mall in Charlotte.  In addition, the Westin will include new state‐of‐art 
convention space, high‐end, best‐in‐class spa, and luxury full‐service hotel 
accommodations.  Among other things, these unique facilities will attract new 
conventions to the area and increase dollars spent in the local economy. 
 
The project takes advantage of and significantly improves upon the existing 
infrastructure on Military Cutoff Road and provides for additional improved 
vehicular access points. In addition, the uses contemplated with The Avenue 
project have modified and tailored to provide for a less intensive overall site 
use (particularly In terms of the balance of proposed commercial uses) than 
originally contemplated. 

More efficient  The project is located in an area with access to existing public transportation 
transportation system   and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and the plan includes improvements and 
(2) (b) (e) & (f)   uses that are consistent with and supportive of public transportation.  The plan 
provides for a signalized intersection and improved access points to Military 
   Cutoff Road.  
 
The Avenue has a focus on inter‐connectivity with the surrounding 
community.  The Avenue will be pedestrian friendly, including installation of 
pedestrian cross‐walk at Station Road and Military Cutoff.  This crosswalk will 
function in connection with the signalized intersection, and will be of particular 
benefit to the local community, as the closest existing pedestrian crossing along 
Military Cutoff Road is located almost two miles to the south at Eastwood 
Road.  The project will have access to public transportation by maintaining an 
active bus stop. 
 
The contemplated, NCDOT/WMPO‐approved, improvements were designed to 
accommodate and absorb the impact of a higher intensity use. In comparison 
to the originally contemplated impact of that higher intensity use, the 
applicant’s proposed, modified uses reduce Unadjusted Daily Trips by 26%, 
Total Adjusted (Primary) Trips by 32%, Weekday AM Peak Trips by 37%, 
Weekday PM Peak Trips by 33%, and Saturday Midday Peak Trips by 26%. 
Attachment 11

 
The planned traffic improvements would provide an acceptable level of service 
at the more intensive use originally contemplated by the applicant.  As a result 
of applying those same traffic improvements to the more tailored and less 
intensive land use planned for The Avenue under the current proposed 
development agreement, the level of service is anticipated to be even better at 
the affected intersections.  
 
In particular, the additional northbound through‐lane will extend approximately 
one‐half mile along Military Cutoff Road and will help to accommodate the 
heavy northbound through traffic volume. Converting the existing 4‐legged 
movement intersection to the proposed T‐intersection at Station Road will 
decrease the number of phases at the signal, thus improving delay and 
queueing. As a result, the same or improved delay and queueing is anticipated 
at the study intersections compared to future no build conditions.  As T‐
intersections, these are simpler signals with only 3 phases, which provide 
improved operations along the corridor, providing public value and a major 
advantage for the traveling public. 

Environmentally Sensitive  The project will be zoned Urban Mixed Use and will use LID techniques, 
Development Pattern   including pervious pavement and conservation resource setbacks. The existing 
(3) (a) (b)   development does not use these techniques.  
 
Further, two natural ponds exist on the site.  These environmentally sensitive 
features will be preserved and highlighted in the new development. 

Scheduled State  The Project will be book‐ended by major public improvements to Military 
Transportation Project   Cutoff Road, including the proposed Military Cutoff/Eastwood Road flyover and 
(4) (a)(b) & (c)   Military Cutoff/Market Street full interchange. 
 
The Avenue will include traffic mitigation improvements recommended and 
approved by NCDOT for a higher intensity proposed use than is currently 
contemplated. The project is located on a corridor that has been recently 
improved by an NCDOT project, and which will be further improved as noted 
above.   
 
With the scope of improvements roadway contemplated, and the less intensive 
uses planned within The Avenue, the same or improved delay and queueing is 
anticipated at the studied intersections compared to future no build conditions. 

Site Redevelopment and  The project is the redevelopment of an existing site that will result in current 
Improved Conditions   stormwater management where it does not exist and additional landscaping to 
(5) (a)(b) & (c)  significantly improve the appearance of the site. As noted above, two natural 
ponds exist on the site, and will be preserved and highlighted in the new 
development.
