Pender County, North Carolina commissioners voted unanimously to approve a special use permit for a 236-site RV campground after a two-hour quasi-judicial hearing. The review process was required because the site falls within a special hazard flood zone on Rural Agricultural-zoned land. Development cannot proceed until the applicant secures a FEMA letter of map revision.
The approval underscores the layered regulatory requirements that can accompany campground development on environmentally sensitive or restrictively zoned properties.
