MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT STAFF PRESENT Tom Roper, Georgia Thomas, Gladys Robinson, Justin Smith Randy Graham, Duane Christopher, Shelly Goodner Eric Hawkins, Dennis Fields, Bill Meyer, Janice Miller The meeting was delayed as a quorum was not present until Mrs. Thomas arrived at 7:25PM. 1. Approval of minutes of the November 1, 2016, meeting. Dr. Robinson made a motion to approve the minutes from the November 1, 2016, meeting. Mrs. Thomas seconded, and the motion passed unanimously by a vote of 4-0 (Graham, Christopher and Goodner absent). PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS 2. Hold public hearing and consider a recommendation to City Council on petition M by David Buist to rezone approximately 18 acres at the intersection of Heckle Boulevard, Rawlinson Road, and Old York Highway from Business Development District III (BD-III) to Community Commercial (CC). The subject property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Tax parcel (portion). Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Roper asked if the intersections at Rawlinson Road/Heckle Boulevard and Rawlinson Road/Celanese Road are both signalized. Mr. Hawkins stated they are and added that access to the site off Heckle Boulevard is restricted. Mr. Roper asked if the railroad is planning to abandon the railroad tracks in that area. Mr. Hawkins stated the tracks need to remain in the event a reactor ever needs to be moved in or out as this is the only rail access to the nuclear station. Mr. Adam Ferrara, 6023 Autumn Cove, Fort Mill, applicant s representative, was available to answer questions. He noted the facility would be a climatized self-storage facility. Dr. Robinson asked if this project is an extension of the storage facility across Old York Highway or a different business. Mr. Ferrara stated this is a separate company. Mr. Roper asked about the climatized facility. Mr. Ferrara stated approximately 60% of the facility would be climate controlled on a single level. Mr. Roper asked if the facility across Old York Highway is climatized. Mr. Ferrara stated that some of the buildings had been upfitted with this feature. Dr. Robinson asked the size and number of units in the facility. Mr. Ferrara stated the overall development would be approximately 70,000 to 80,000 square feet, with seven to nine buildings total. He added the goal is to have an underground stormwater detention rather than an aboveground stormwater pond on the site. No one from the audience spoke regarding this item. Mrs. Thomas presented the motion to recommend approval of the proposed Community Commercial zoning as recommended by staff. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously by a vote of 4-0 (Graham, Christopher and Goodner absent).

4 Planning Commission Minutes December 13, 2016 Page 2 3. Hold public hearing and consider a recommendation to City Council on petition M by Walter Comer III Et Al to rezone approximately 9.6 acres at 1253 S Anderson Road from Residential Development III (RD-III) to Industry General (IG). The subject property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Tax parcel Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Roper asked if any development plans had been submitted. Mr. Hawkins stated there were none at this time. Mr. Jeff Blair, 299 Southside Road, spoke regarding the neighborhood concern as to what could be built on the property as the Legacy Park West project construction had been disruptive for the residents. He also noted his concern over the fact that the Zoning Board of Appeals had granted a variance for the buildings at Legacy Park West to be built close to the property lines. He also provided photographs of the buildings. Dr. Robinson asked if Mr. Blair lived across the street from the site. Mr. Blair clarified for the Commission the location of his property. Mr. Smith asked how many houses were along Southside Road. Mr. Blair stated there were six. Mr. Roper asked the width of the subject property. Mr. Hawkins stated it was approximately 230 at the rear and it widens out to about 260 near the front. Mr. Roper asked the setback dimensions. Mr. Hawkins stated it depends on the type of development proposed and noted that a 250 separation is required for certain types of industrial development. Other types of development could build closer to the property lines. Mr. Roper asked if the variance was granted because of the adjoining property is not developed. Mr. Fields clarified that the separation was reduced by Special Exception and noted that the reduction was approved under the conditions that a fence and berm be constructed. Mr. Blair noted that the variance did not include the berm and landscaping. Mr. Fields explained that the berm and landscaping had been part of the original plans presented by the applicant and that the fence was an additional condition of approval. Mrs. Thomas asked if staff would check to make sure the fence, berm and landscaping were installed. Mr. Fields stated that these would have to be approved before the City would issue a Certificate of Occupancy. Dr. Robinson asked Mr. Blair if the buffer would make a difference. Mr. Blair stated the buffer would not help with the noise or lights above the fence. He noted that his concern with this particular property was as to what could be built with the industrial zoning classification. There was general discussion regarding the Special Exception and Variance process with the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Roger Collins, 310 Southside Road, stated that he felt the construction was too close and very noisy. Mr. Derek Stauffer, 286 Southside Road, asked about landscaping on the site. Mr. Roper stated that as there had been no plans submitted, landscaping would depend on the type of development proposed. Mrs. Thomas asked if there was a zoning classification that was better for the neighbors. Mr. Roper stated that other classifications would not require as large a setback that would protect the residential area. Mr. Smith asked if there were another option than IG. Mr. Meyer stated that the desire was to annex this property in order to help coordinate further development in the area without creating issues with the

5 Planning Commission Minutes December 13, 2016 Page 3 residential section. He added any industrial development would consist of very small buildings that would create an additional buffer to the larger buildings. Mr. Smith asked if the ZBA granted the Special Exception because this property served as a buffer area. Mr. Meyer stated that this was not a buffer but a separation requirement, explaining the difference in the two. He added that staff believed this zoning was appropriate for the area and the ZBA would not treat this property the same way because of its location directly adjacent to the residential area. There were no further questions or comments from the audience. Mr. Roper presented the motion to recommend approval of Industry General zoning as recommended by staff. Mr. Smith seconded, and the motion carried by a vote of 3-1, with Mr. Smith voting in opposition (Graham, Christopher, and Goodner absent). 4. Hold public hearing and consider a recommendation to City Council on petition M by Alexander and Sayhuoy Lee to rezone approximately 0.70 acres at 2165 Ebenezer Road from Urban Development (UD) in York County to Limited Commercial (LC). The subject property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Tax parcel Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Roper asked if the zoning of the adjacent property was Industry General. Mr. Hawkins stated it was. Mr. Roper asked if there was a minimum area requirement for LC in order to prevent instances of spot zoning. Mr. Hawkins stated that there is no minimum area for an LC district. In general, several things are considered to determine spot zoning, including whether the zoning would benefit only one property owner and whether the zoning is consistent with the character of the area. He added that the proposed zoning of this property is consistent with the building s long-standing use as a convenience store. Mr. Roper asked about future plans for the site. Mr. Hawkins stated the owner is re-opening the convenience store and has removed the old underground storage tanks with plans to replace them with new tanks for gasoline sales. Mr. Smith presented the motion to recommend approval of Limited Commercial zoning as recommended by staff. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously by a vote of 4-0 (Graham, Christopher, and Goodner absent). 5. Hold public hearing and consider a request to rename a portion of Stadium Street. Mr. Hawkins reminded the members that in this case, the Commission would make the final decision on the renaming proposal. Mr. Hawkins presented the staff the staff report. Mr. Roper asked if the proposal would result in Lancaster Avenue ending at Constitution Boulevard and Lee Street continuing on the other side of Constitution. Mr. Hawkins stated this is correct. There was general discussion on the addressing of the properties along Lancaster and Stadium Street. Mr. Roper asked if the City s position regarding the request dealt with the ability for emergency services to more easily locate properties within that area. Mr. Hawkins stated this is correct, that street name changes in the middle of a block tend to create confusion for emergency workers. He added that notices regarding the street name change had been sent to residents and property owners within the area, noting that the only property owner addressed to this portion of Stadium Street, Mr. Charles Parks, had requested the name to remain unchanged. He reiterated the need to change the name for safety and also to minimize the number of people inconvenienced by the change.

6 Planning Commission Minutes December 13, 2016 Page 4 Dr. Robinson asked about the issue raised by Mr. Parks about people being able to find the stadium. Mr. Roper noted most of the stadium traffic comes off Cherry Road, not Stadium Street. Dr. Robinson asked if the name change would create costs for the owner. Mr. Hawkins stated expense would be mainly time in communicating the new address. Mr. Charles Parks, 817 Stadium Street, spoke in opposition of the request, noting he had resided there for over 20 years and that he had never had a problem with anyone finding his property. He stated his concern over having to notify everyone of his address change, especially federal government agencies he dealt with. He proposed changing the name of the street to Stadium Drive, adding that most of the people in the area he had spoken with agreed with this idea. Mr. Roper asked if there was still a rental property on the site. Mr. Parks stated the rental house was still on the property but had not been rented out recently. Dr. Robinson presented the motion to approve the renaming of Stadium Street to Lancaster Avenue as presented. Mr. Smith seconded. There were general comments referring to the curve of Lancaster Avenue onto Stadium Street, the ease of changing addresses, and the location of the stadium. Mr. Roper called for a vote and the motion carried by a vote of 3-1, with Mr. Roper voting in opposition (Graham, Christopher, and Goodner absent). NEW BUSINESS 6. Consideration of a request by Greens of Rock Hill, LLC for Major Site Plan approval for Riverwalk Building 7. Mr. Fields presented the staff report. Mr. Roper asked for clarification that these would be apartments, not condominiums. Mr. Fields stated this is correct. Mr. Roper noted the number of parking spaces and asked about the parking for future buildings 8 and 11. Mr. Fields stated 130 spaces were required but the plan shows 152 spaces in order to provide for additional shared parking as new buildings are constructed. He stated that more parking spaces are being built for building 9 and that this is all part of a shared parking plan. Mr. David Williams, Greens of Rock Hill, 998 Riverwalk Parkway, applicant, spoke regarding the request. He noted that the parking scheme designed for the River District is updated as new buildings are developed. He stated additional parking for vehicles is being constructed to the northwest to serve the site and that parking numbers are recalculated as development progresses. Mr. Smith presented the motion to approve the Major Site Plan as submitted, subject to staff comments. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously by a vote of 4-0 (Graham, Christopher, and Goodner absent). 7. Other Business. There was a brief discussion of the annual dinner. A Doodle poll will be sent out with dates and locations. 8. Adjourn. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:55PM.

8 Case No. M Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission Meeting Date: January 3, 2017 Location: 3827 Celanese Road, Tax Map # Site Area: Request: Use: Owner/Applicant: Approximately 0.48 acres. Annex property into the City and rezone from Urban Development (UD) to Industry General (IG). Physical therapy office. John Rinehart Rock Hill, SC Site Description The subject property is the location of a physical therapy office. It is located on the northwest side of the City and fronts on Celanese Road, just east of Ebenezer Road. Nearby uses include auto service, a gas station/convenience store, and Rock Hill/York County Airport in industrial zoning districts. Proposal This annexation was initiated by the City. The owner signed an annexation agreement in 2011 and an annexation petition in November at the City s request. The current use of the property is a Special Exception in the IG district and will be deemed to have been granted Special Exception approval upon annexation. Annexation of properties to fill in gaps in the City Limits promotes greater efficiency in City services and reduces jurisdictional issues. Existing Zoning District Summary Urban Development District (UD)- The Urban Development District is designed to permit in certain areas of the county maximum use flexibility in response to existing conditions and characteristics existing at the adoption of zoning. It also recognizes areas existing prior to zoning which have been impacted by a variety of incompatible uses. Market and use flexibility mandates a need to protect existing development from the adversities of mixed use. The objective of this district is to maximize land use flexibility and minimize land use conflicts in the process. Permitted uses include single-family dwellings, schools, horticulture and agriculture interests, neighborhood and community parks, churches, duplexes, multi-family dwellings, child care centers, nursing homes, personal service establishments i.e. beauty shops; Laundromats; restaurants; convenience retail establishments i.e. grocery stores; professional services, i.e. business or financial offices; commercial recreation establishments i.e. game rooms; clinics, office buildings, educational institutions, commercial schools, research facilities, townhouses, museums, motels, primary and secondary retail establishments, commercial parking lots, general business services, funeral homes, mini-warehouses, automobile service and repair shops, agriculture operations, cemeteries, churches, community centers, equestrian operations, mining operations, mobile homes on individual lots, outdoor recreation facilities, roadside stands, schools, utilities, manufacturing uses and services, and warehousing establishments.

9 Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission M Page 2 Proposed Zoning District Summary Industry General (IG)- The IG District is established and intended to provide lands for light industrial uses that can be operated in a relatively clean and quiet manner and that will not be obnoxious to adjacent residential or business districts. Allowable uses include limited manufacturing and functionally related uses such as distribution, storage, and processing. Some heavier industrial uses may be permitted with a Special Exception (see Section 2-300(D)). Commercial uses are allowed, but are considered incidental to the predominantly light industrial nature of the district. Residential uses, other than caretaker dwellings, and uses that generate hazardous wastes are not permitted. RELATIONSHIP TO PUBLIC PLANS Focus 2020 Comprehensive Plan The property is within the Employment Center character area of the City's Future Land Use Map. This character area is designed to provide basic jobs and keep people in the local area during business hours. While the character area has a more suburban feel and is primarily accessible by automobile, future development should focus on people-oriented businesses that have amenities for employees. It should also look for opportunities to introduce some shopping and dining opportunities for area employees. Conclusion The proposed IG zoning is generally consistent with the Focus 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Public Feedback No comments received to date. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff Assessment The proposed zoning is consistent with the City s Land Use Plan and is compatible with surrounding uses. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed Industry General (IG) zoning.
