Text amendment submitted by TWC Camp Lejeune LLC (owner of a hotel on Highway 17 / New Bern Highway) to allow conversion of existing hotels to multifamily within 350 feet of a main roadway in the corridor commercial zone, plus staff cleanup (removing townhouses per state law, defining 'main roadway' as primary major street). Board deferred to next month's meeting so staff can evaluate a possible special-use permit approach and spacing/size limits. Motion by SPEAKER_6, seconded by SPEAKER_0 (Grace), amended to specify next planning board meeting.
