Blue Clay Road Business Park

What Blue Clay Road Business Park's governing documents say

Blue Clay Road Business Park is a commercial/industrial subdivision in Castle Hayne, NC, governed by restrictive covenants recorded by New Hanover County. These rules bind all property owners and lessees within the park, regulating land use, construction, and maintenance to support the county's economic development strategy.

• Permitted uses: Only specific civic, institutional, and industrial uses are allowed, as listed in the covenants (e.g., design & technology services, food manufacturing, warehousing). Uses that are dangerous, noxious, or offensive (by dust, odor, noise, etc.) are prohibited.
• Construction timeline: Initial property owners must begin improvements within 12 months of purchase and complete infrastructure within 24 months. Extensions of up to 12 months may be granted for good faith efforts; failure allows the county to repurchase the property at the original sale price.
• Architectural review: Before any construction or alteration, owners must submit a concept plan to the Property Owners Review Board for approval. The board has 10 business days to comment. All plans must also comply with county and state codes.
• Minimum lot size & subdivision: The board may subdivide the property into parcels of at least 5 acres unless otherwise approved. Adjacent owners may exchange strips without creating a new subdivision.
• Construction materials: Exterior walls facing public streets must be masonry, architectural precast concrete, architectural metal panels, glass, or equivalent approved by the board. Painted or exposed concrete blocks and corrugated metal are not permitted. Rooftop equipment must be screened from view.
• Environmental & utility requirements: Owners must remove rubbish, comply with stormwater permits, and connect to Cape Fear Public Utility water and sewer. Wells and septic fields are not allowed.
• Assessments for common amenities: No common amenities are currently planned. If developed, owners and lessees will pay quarterly assessments based on their acreage share. Late payments become a lien on the property.
• Board composition & modification: The initial board includes county officials and the CEO of Wilmington Business Development. Once the park is fully developed, each lot owner gets one vote. Covenants may be amended by owners of 65% of the land area, with board approval.
