Pender County planning board approves Delamar master plan revision to expand amenities, remove one lot
Summary
The Pender County Planning Board voted to approve a revision to the Delamar (formerly Sloop Point) master planned development that removes one home lot to enlarge and enhance on-site amenities; no public opposition was recorded at the hearing.
The Pender County Planning Board on an administrative vote approved a revision to master plan MP-2025-79 for the Delamar development (formerly Sloop Point), removing one previously approved lot to enlarge the amenity area.
The change reduces the PD-section lot count from 39 to 38 to enlarge the amenity center, add active open space (a ball/pickleball court and walking path around the stormwater pond), and reconfigure community boating facilities in the RP section. Staff said the revision does not alter overall unit counts for the whole project in a way that changes school impacts or other public-service calculations.
Planning staff presented the application, describing earlier approvals and on-site work. The project overall remains roughly 87 units across the PD and RP sections, with previously approved clearing and grading for phase 1 already underway. Staff noted the developer acquired roughly 2.5 additional acres and will preserve several mature live oaks; tree mitigation rules apply for significant tree removal in the PD-to-business zoning contexts.
Board members asked no substantive questions and there were no public speakers. A motion to approve the master plan revision carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The board noted that conditional elements of PD zoning allow staff to manage many site-level details, while the planning board’s role on PD approvals is administrative and advisory under the Unified Development Ordinance.
The planning board’s approval is a recommendation that will be reflected in the project record as staff and the applicant move forward with site-level permitting and site-plan approvals.
