Wrightsville Beach restaurant proposal on hold until April
WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Concerns about noise, traffic, and alcohol are some of the reasons why the proposal to turn a vacant building in Wrightsville Beach into a restaurant is temporarily on hold.
According to Planning Director Tony Wilson, after hearing concerns from the planning board and residents, the applicant decided to pull their request for a conditional use permit until the April meeting.
Wilson says that’s when the proposal will be back for public comments.
Currently, the property owner is proposing to renovate the existing building, which was last used as a Scotchman convenient store, and turn it into a restaurant with an outdoor detached deck seating area.
A commercial pier with 9 boat slips is part of the plan, as well as a floating dock, which will be located on Kenan’s Creek. The dock was also one concern that was brought up.
According to the property owner’s application, restaurant seating would end at 10:00 p.m. and no alcohol would be served after 11:00 p.m.
There would also be 21 parking spaces on the site.
The next meeting is April 3.
