# August 04, 2026 Planning Board Meeting

The Pender County Planning Board held a meeting on August 4, 2026, focusing primarily on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a conditional zoning map amendment for a private wastewater treatment facility in Topsel Township, where the applicant proposed a capacity adjustment and committed to obtaining all necessary federal and state environmental permits before operation. The board recommended conditional approval with specific conditions, forwarding the matter to the county commissioners. Another significant agenda item was a conditional zoning map amendment for a large-scale residential subdivision in Long Creek Township, proposing over 1,000 single-family lots with substantial conservation areas and infrastructure plans including water, wastewater, and traffic impact analyses. The board discussed infrastructure capacity concerns, including schools, roads, and emergency services, and considered voluntary applicant conditions to mitigate impacts. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved a zoning text amendment to permit public solid waste collection facilities in the environmental conservation district, aiming to utilize county-owned flood buyout properties for such services. The meeting concluded with discussions on future workshops to improve planning processes and tracking of development impacts. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but several infrastructure and environmental permitting conditions were emphasized for future procurement and development oversight.
