  • The proposed housing development in the neck of Porters, consisting of 304 residential units and commercial space, delayed until April.
  • Residents and Marsh Oaks Hoa include increased traffic, lack of pedestrian infrastructure and overproduction of housing in the area.
  • Developers, Bayshore Townhomes, have reduced the project density from their original proposal and emphasized that it falls below the maximum permitted density.

The hearing to determine the fate of the basic housing development of Porters Neck is pushed back.

At a meeting of the Hanover County Planning Council on January 9, representatives of Bayshore Townhomes presented plans for housing development in anticipation of a quasi -judicial hearing with the new Council of Commissioners in Hanover on February 3. The development consists of 304 residential units and up to 1800 square feet of commercial space in the 8100 block of Market Street.

When reviewing the agenda on January 30, the commissioners approved the request of Grady Richardson, a lawyer representing the Association of Marsh Oaks housing owners, to continue the hearing until April 7. Lawyer Gary Shipman, who represents Bayshore Townhomes, agreed to move the hearing.

Marsh Oaks Hoa President, Courtney Corey, speaks in opposing the development of the planning council meeting. Corriher said that the Porters neck area has overproduction of housing and lacks housing for sale. She also expressed concern about the impact of development trafficking.

“Roadworks projects and exponential development approvals in Porters neck have not prioritized pedestrians’ access,” Coripher said. “Our area lacks public transits, intersections, continuous sidewalk networks and bicycle paths.”

The site is expected to generate approximately 124 hours of peak hours and 174 h. Travels, according to an impact analysis on traffic.

Development is a project for a special use permit, to which the planning council does not make recommendations. The project was presented at the meeting of the planning Council to provide an opportunity for public comment, as participation in quasi -judicial hearing is limited to the countries with permanent and witnesses providing evidence through sworn testimony.

At a meeting of the Planning Council, Shipman stressed that the application is looking for a lower density than what is authorized through a special use permit.

“This is not a project that we are trying to remove the maximum density from the area that is accessible for development,” Shipman said.

Public comments will open again before the Council of Commissioners on April 7, and all the comments sent will be provided to the Council, according to the County Website.

Site plans have changed after withdrawal

The initial application for resonance was withdrawn in January 2024 after fears by both residents and district officers. Increased density, traffic congestion and overcrowded schools were cited by residents opposed to development. When the plans were sent again a year later, many of the same problems remain.

With 44 less units than the original proposal, the processed plans are intended to preserve more open space and recreation. The site plans include tournament courts, club house, dog park and approximately 1.6 miles of interconnected sidewalks.

The property, which was previously used as a landscape contracting business and a nursery for trees, consists of 33.43 acres. In addition to Townhomes, the development will include 62 apartments. Much of the commercial and residential density is grouped near Market Street. The site is surrounded by neighborhoods, including crossing porters, Marsh Oaks and Porters Pointe.

The project documents cite an assessment of the needs of the 2022 homes from New Hanover and the city of Wilmington, which states that an approximately total difference in housing of 12 147 rent and 16,875 units for sale within the next 10 years. The gap increased by 5.229 common units between 2020 and 2022, according to the study.
