Applicant proposes dock with nine wet slips; Planning Board recommends rezoning
Summary
The Onslow County Planning Board unanimously recommended rezoning for the Ritter property to allow a commercial dock with nine wet slips and approved a corresponding consistency statement at its June 4 meeting.
Chairman Marilyn Bunce and the Onslow County Planning Board unanimously recommended approval June 4 of a rezoning request that would allow a dock and associated commercial use on the Ritter property in Onslow County.
Planner Jade Batchelor presented the application to rezone the parcel from RA (Rural Agricultural) to CB (Community Business). Applicant Tex Ritter said, "the proposal is for a dock with 9 wet slips," and neighbor John Pierce spoke in favor, calling the facility a needed use for the area. The Board voted to recommend approval and then voted to adopt the required consistency statement for PREZ-2026-00004.
The recommendation does not itself change zoning; it is an advisory action that will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final consideration. Batchelor’s presentation and public comment noted the intended use (a dock with nine wet slips) but did not specify project Phasing, building permits, or environmental reviews; those steps remain subject to permitting and county review.
The Board’s votes on the Ritter item were unanimous. The meeting record shows no conditions tied to the recommendation other than the standard review and permitting processes. The Board approved the agenda and minutes earlier in the meeting and adjourned at 7:54 p.m.
