Commissioners approve rezoning for Market Street convenience store, fuel island and 12 townhomes

The board rezoned roughly 5.18 acres at Market Street and Alexander Road to allow a convenience store with fuel, a fast‑food restaurant with drive‑through, and a 12‑unit attached residential component under conditions intended to protect nearby homes.
The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a conditional rezoning for a 5.18‑acre parcel at Market Street and Alexander Road to allow a mixed commercial and residential development that will include a convenience store with fuel stations, a quick‑service restaurant with drive‑through, and 12 row‑style attached dwellings.
County staff described the site as currently wooded and primarily surrounded by low‑density residential R‑15 zoning. Staff noted the site falls along the Market Street corridor, which functions largely as commercial frontage, and recommended conditions to address tree retention, stormwater management and pedestrian connections. A planning board recommendation in favor preceded the commissioners' hearing; staff reported the planning board voted 6–0 to recommend approval.
