5 Planning Commission Minutes August 5, 2014 Page 2 Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Christopher asked if the redevelopment would create the need for shared parking with adjacent property owners of if parking would be independent and if a road could be created behind all the properties. Mr. Hawkins stated that parking was independent currently, and that they had looked at the possibility of connecting the properties by a road behind all the properties. He noted that when property where the Cookout restaurant was redeveloped, the stub-out was constructed in order to allow for this connection. He added that this would require the cooperation of all the property owners. Brian Russell, applicant s representative, 2553 Cherry Road, stated that this Waffle House had been in place for over thirty years, and that a new one was needed in order to meet current standards. He added that the request to build a road behind the building could be presented to the Waffle House Corporation for consideration, but would also require the cooperation of adjacent property owners. Mr. Christopher asked if the new building would be the same size or larger than the current one. Mr. Russell stated that it would actually be slightly smaller than the current building but provide the same level of service. There were no further questions or comments from the audience. Mrs. Thomas presented the motion to recommend approval of the application as submitted. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion carried by a vote of 6-0. NEW BUSINESS 5. Consideration of a request by Keck & Wood, Inc. for Major Site Plan approval for The Arbors at Manchester Village (Formerly Apartments at Seven Oaks ). (Plan # ) Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Christopher asked for details on what the legal determination would address. Mr. Hawkins stated that it is to be determined if the 20% open space and tree save area would be required for each of the three parcels or if it could be combined for the overall development project. Mr. Roper asked if the tree save area included the detention pond area. Mr. Hawkins stated that it is included as part of the percentage. The applicant, Tony Berry, 4701 Old Course Drive, Charlotte, was available to answer questions and provide an overview of the proposed project. He noted that he had met with the neighbors and that the plan presented took their concerns into consideration. Mr. Roper asked if the access points would line up with the drives across Springsteen. Mr. Berry stated that they lined up the drives as best they could in order to meet road separation requirements since they are unable to access Seven Oaks Boulevard. He noted the realignment of Evelyn Drive and the required left-turn lane that would be constructed. Mr. Berry presented an overview of the proposed project, noting specifically the added security measures that are planned including key-card building entrance access, interior entry into apartments, and security cameras. He noted that the complex will be marketed

6 Planning Commission Minutes August 5, 2014 Page 3 more towards senior citizens, families, and single-parent families. In addition, he stated that the architecture was designed to tie into that of the Manchester Village area with a more urban feel. He stated that he hoped an agreement regarding the stormwater easement could be reached, and added that the plan was to reduce stormwater drainage going into the Seven Oaks system. With reference to the tree canopy and open space calculation issue, if the three parcels are considered as a combined development site, the tree canopy and open space provided exceeds the requirements. He provided overviews of the floor plans, noting that the layouts are more like house plans. Mr. Christopher asked if cisterns or pervious pavers had been considered during the stormwater design phase. Mr. Berry stated that they had not. John Gast, Keck & Wood (project engineer), 215 Hampton Street, Rock Hill, was present to answer questions about the stormwater issues. He noted that they would have to do some water quality measures depending upon the wetland jurisdiction determination of the pond. Mr. Roper asked about the wetlands determination. Mr. Gast explained that a wetlands scientist would submit a package to the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if the pond can be used as a detention pond site, or if they would have to take measures to send only clean water to the pond. Mr. Roper asked about the previous determination of the pond as it showed up on the National Wetlands Inventory. Mr. Gast stated that a determination would still have to be made. Mr. Christopher asked if the elevations presented were final. Mr. Berry stated that it is very close to what is required by the City s design standards. Mr. Roper allowed members of the audience to speak on this subject, providing the usual guidelines. Larry Soles, 1806 Springsteen Road, spoke in opposition of the plan, noting the increase in traffic congestion during the Christmas holiday season. He added that the pond under discussion had been deeded by Mr. Flint to Sturgis Estates for the community s use. Milton Delair, 1686 Essex Hall Drive, expressed his concern over the stormwater calculations, noting that the detention pond in Seven Oaks is inadequate and unable to contain stormwater overflow. He noted that the current building elevations were much better than previous submittals. He also noted that since the apartments would back up to Essex Hall Drive and Craven Hill Drive, a good buffer should be required to protect those neighbors. John Dattilio, 1670 Shetland Lane, noted his concern over decreased property values and the increase in crime associated with apartment complexes. He also stated that he had been told by the developer that the lots were to be developed as townhomes. Kevin Sutton, 636 Atherton Way, spoke regarding the need to have planned developments within the City in order to protect the interests of adjacent property owners. He also stated that the pond on Evelyn Street had been purchased by the developer in order to meet the tree canopy and open space requirements and that something doesn t seem right with that.

7 Planning Commission Minutes August 5, 2014 Page 4 Irene Uhl, 1654 Essex Hall Drive, stated that she appreciated that the apartments would not be accessed by Seven Oaks Boulevard but that she had concern that the apartments would not be architecturally consistent with the Seven Oaks neighborhood. Allen Wellmaker, 637 Wildwood Drive, noted his concern that the access points for the apartment complex should all be from Springsteen Road, not from Evelyn Drive. Mr. Roper stated that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) would not approve having all entrances off Springsteen Road. Martha Hunsucker, 658 Charles Lane, stated her opposition noting the increase in traffic and crime and decrease in property values. John Cross, 1619 Essex Hall Drive, expressed concern over the treatment of the Seven Oaks Boulevard entrance, especially in reference to the removal or destruction of existing landscaping that may fall outside the Seven Oaks HOA ownership. Mohammed Albaba, 1698 Hopalong, stated that he owned the Yorkmart Convenience Store at Springsteen and Anderson Roads, and noted his concern over the increase in crime. He stated that he owned property in Seven Oaks but that he was concerned about constructing a house at this time due to crime and decrease in property values. In response to these concerns, Mr. Berry reiterated the security measures that would be in place as well as the requirement by potential residents to complete credit and reference checks. He also stated that a unit would be offered to a City of Rock Hill police officer at a reduced rate, provided the officer drove their vehicle on site and assisted in any incidents. He also noted that the way the property will be managed would create a quality product. Mr. Berry stated that the SCDOT and the City required that only one access point was allowed off Springsteen with the other being off Evelyn. He noted that he would prefer to see only one access point off Springsteen but that with the number of units proposed, two accesses were required. He stated he was willing to work with the neighborhood to address the landscaping plans, and that they were not intending to make any changes to the existing landscaping along Seven Oaks Boulevard. He also noted that it was rumored the pond would be drained and stated that this was not so, that he believed it would be used for stormwater retention purposes. Dr. Robinson asked if the design proposed was a standard design and how this would blend in with the surrounding community. Mr. Berry stated that in order for the apartments to blend in, it would require the addition of a hipped roof which would add 8-10 feet to the height of the buildings. He also noted that since the buildings will be located closer to Springsteen and Evelyn, this would create a more imposing structure. Mrs. Thomas asked where the entrances to each unit would be located. Mr. Berry stated that each apartment will be accessed from an internal hallway and that the balconies will be provided along the outside only as an amenity, not an entrance. Mrs. Thomas asked about the unit sizes. Mr. Berry stated that the one bedroom units will be 768 square feet, the two bedroom will be 1172 square feet, and the three bedroom will be 1274 square feet. Dr. Robinson asked Mr. Berry to address the concern about buffers for the homes that

8 Planning Commission Minutes August 5, 2014 Page 5 back up to the proposed apartments. Mr. Berry stated that one of the buildings that backs up to the homes will be two stories due to its proximity to the single-family lots, the garage buildings will serve as a buffer, the landscaping will meet City standards, and a solid vinyl or wood fence will surround the property. Mr. Christopher asked about the possibility of the complex becoming condos in the future. Mr. Berry stated that they could become condos in the future and will be built to specifications that will allow the conversion. Dr. Robinson asked why condos weren t considered for this proposal. Mr. Berry stated that there was no market for condos at this time and that financing is difficult to attain for condos. Mrs. Easley asked for clarification on the Planning Commission s responsibility for this review. Mr. Roper stated it was mainly to determine if the plans met the zoning requirements. Mr. Graham stated that the main issues he heard from the neighbors were traffic, stormwater, buffers, building design, and crime. He noted that the main issues that could be addressed by the Commission were the provision of adequate buffers and traffic. He asked Mr. Hawkins if a traffic study had been performed, and Mr. Hawkins stated that it had not. Mr. Berry added that in meeting with the SCDOT and the City, the SCDOT determined that not enough traffic was generated by the proposed development to require a traffic study. Mr. Graham noted that the portion of the site south of Seven Oaks Boulevard is elevated above Seven Oaks and encouraged the applicant to preserve some natural tree canopy in that area if there is an opportunity to do so. Mrs. Easley stated that she thinks as much as possible is being done to minimize the negative impact the development would have, including the security features and the building materials. Mrs. Easley presented a motion to approve the major site plan subject to the outcome of the wetlands determination for the pond, the legal review by the City attorney, resolution of the stormwater easement issue, and staff comments. Mr. Christopher seconded the motion. Mr. Christopher encouraged the design of adequate screening and addressing the stormwater issue. Mr. Roper called for a vote, and the motion carried by a vote of Other Business Mr. Graham asked that staff consider moving the August meeting date for future years in order to accommodate attendance at Neighborhood Night Out events. 7. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:58PM.

9 Staff Report to Planning Commission M Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 E Petition by Silver Rock Hill, LLC to amend the Corporate Boulevard PUD Master Plan. The property is approximately acres and is located at 774 Corporate Boulevard. Reason for Request: The applicant is requesting the amendment to allow indoor recreation uses and to create parking standards for that use. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments. SEE ATTACHED REPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION

10 Case No. M Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 Location: Site Area: Request: Proposed Change: Applicant: Corporate Blvd. PUD Approximately acres Amend existing PUD Allow for commercial indoor recreation uses Dawan Feely Bounce Planet, USA 235 E. Main St., Ste. 130 Rock Hill, SC Proposal The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Corporate Blvd. PUD to allow for commercial indoor recreation uses and to create parking standards for that use. He is interested in opening a bounce house with after-school mentoring of children within the PUD at 774 Corporate Blvd. Ste. C-103 (a suite in a multi-tenant building). The PUD does not currently allow commercial indoor recreation uses. Please note that if this amendment were approved, all types of commercial indoor recreation could be allowed within the PUD, not just the applicant s proposed bounce house. The Zoning Ordinance describes commercial indoor recreation as follows. Additionally, this request involves removing the commercial indoor parking measure of 1 space per every 400 square feet so that the use reverts back to the regular Ordinance measure, which is the greater of 1 per every 200 square feet or 1 per every 4 persons of occupant load. This measure appears to be a more realistic determination of parking need for indoor recreation uses. (For example, this particular tenant space is 3,300 square feet. If the parking measure currently in the PUD were used, that would mean that only 8 spaces would be allocated for this use. With an occupant load of 67, which is the occupant load of

11 Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission M Page 2 the space for a commercial indoor recreation use, a more realistic number is the 16 that would be required under the regular ordinance standards.) The proposed amendments are shown in the attached PD Terms & Conditions document. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Staff hereby certifies that the required public notification actions have been completed as follows: August 15: Rezoning notification signs posted on subject property. August 15: Rezoning notification postcards sent to 21 property owners within 300 of the subject property. August 16: Planning Commission public hearing advertisement published in The Herald. Neighborhood Meeting A neighborhood meeting was held on August 7, Minutes of the meeting are attached. Please note that at the time of the meeting, the applicants advised that they may rent the facility to a religious institution, but that is no longer the case. Public feedback Anne Blake, 818 Wilkerson Road, called to express concerns about who received notices and who did not. Staff explained that we generate a list of properties within 300 feet of the property in question and notify those property owners. She also wanted to make sure that the commercial indoor recreation use would allow for neither adult entertainment nor an indoor firing range. Staff explained that it would not allow for either of those uses. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff Assessment The proposed use of commercial indoor recreation, provided that parking for the use is appropriately planned through the associated change in the parking measure, is compatible with the existing and allowed uses in the PUD as well as with existing uses in the surrounding area. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Corporate Boulevard PUD.

14 4. The total area of the PUD is approximately acres (including road right-of-way). Parking Requirements: 5. All parking shall be as shown on this PUD plan. All parking shall meet the following minimum requirements: -1 space per 300 sf of office -1 space per 900 sf of warehouse for buildings less than 5000 sf -1 space per 1500 sf of warehouse for buildings greater than 5000 sf -1 space per 400 sf of commercial recreation, indoor -the total number of parking spaces is cumulative based on the variety of different functions present in a single use. -all other uses shall meet the requirements of Rock Hill Zoning Code. Note: 6. Corporate Boulevard shall be extended from its current terminus to a point 75 from Wilkerson Road, as shown on the attached PUD Plan. This road construction shall be completed prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for the existing 23,903 sq. ft. building. 7. At the same time as the extension of Corporate Boulevard by the developer, a twelve inch (12 ) diameter water line will be installed by the developer along the extension of Corporate Boulevard to a point 75 from Wilkerson Road, as shown on the attached PUD Plan. The water line will be capped at this point until it is extended by the City in the future to connect to the existing water line along Red River Road. The future extension by the City will take place when the Wilkerson Road/Corporate Boulevard intersection is re-aligned in conjunction with the Cel- River Road widening project. The costs of the initial 12 water line extension will be shared between the developer and the City of Rock Hill as follows: The City of Rock Hill will pay an amount equal to the cost of up-sizing the water line from eight (8) inches to twelve (12) inches. The initial estimate of this amount is $15,000 and is subject to change based on actual costs. Silver Investments Limited (or its successors or assigns) will pay an amount equal to one-half of the remaining cost of extending an eight inch (8 ) water line in this location. The initial estimate of this amount is $37,500 and is subject to change based on actual costs. The City of Rock Hill will pay an amount equal to one-half of the remaining cost of extending an eight inch (8 ) water line in this location. The initial estimate of this amount is $37,500 and is subject to change based on actual costs. The costs of the future extension to connect to the water line along Red River Road will be paid by the City. The developer is requesting City participation with this water line extension due to several factors, including: The proposed water line extension does not serve any other customers. Page 3 of 6

15 The developer s site already has water; the water line extension is an improvement that City requested to complete a loop for system redundancy. The property that the developer is acquiring/developing is much smaller than that of the original PUD developer, and it cannot support the same off-site improvement costs. The developer will still bear the full expense of extending Corporate Boulevard, and will also expedite this work so it is completed when the existing building is ready for occupancy (i.e. prior to the current requirement). 8. Tax map numbers for this PUD are , , and Project boundary was taken from Precision Surveying boundary dated April 3, 2006 and topographic data obtained from York County GIS data.

If the property is subdivided in the future, the developer shall set up a property owners association to ensure the maintenance of all open space, landscaping and other privately owned common facilities serving the project. Developer will record with the clerk of court a set of covenants and restrictions regarding use & maintenance of the property, which covenants and restrictions will incorporate the terms of this PUD.

All signage will be designed to meet the standards of the Rock Hill Zoning Ordinance and will be the subject of subsequent approvals. 18. Landscaping for all development and/or redevelopment after April 8, 2013 (date of approval of amended PUD Plan) will meet the current standards of the Rock Hill Zoning Ordinance. The tree retention areas will meet all city landscaping requirements. Required tree canopy retention is 3.04 ac. (15% of total tree canopy Page 4 of 6

16 on site.) Approximate area of remaining tree canopy within the PUD is 2.62 acres. The islands in front of the buildings on Tax Parcel will be landscaped and are approximately 0.45 acres.

20 Staff Report to Planning Commission M Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 E Petition by City of Rock Hill to rezone approximately 2.81 acres at 1602 Baylor Drive from County Residential Development-I (RD-I) to City Single-Family Residential-3 (SF-3). The subject property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Reason for Request: The purpose of the annexation and rezoning is to bring a City-owned facility into the City Limits. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed SF-3 zoning. SEE ATTACHED REPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION

21 Case No. M Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 Location: 1602 Baylor Drive, Tax Map # Site Area: Approximately 2.81 acres Request: Annex property into the City and rezone from Residential Development-I (RD-I) in York County to Single-Family Residential-3 (SF-3). Proposed Development: Owner/Applicant: None- existing sewer lift station. City of Rock Hill Site Description The subject property is the location of a City-owned sewer lift station. It is located on the northeast side of the City and is surrounded by property that was recently annexed into the City. Nearby uses include undeveloped property, single-family residential, and multi-family residential in residential zoning districts. Proposal Since the property is now contiguous to the City Limits, staff is proposing the annexation and rezoning. We believe it is important that the facilities and properties owned and operated by the City be included within our corporate limits so we have the ability to control or protect those properties and facilities. Existing Zoning District Summary Residential Development District I (RD-I)- The Residential Development I District is designed to permit a variety of residential uses and variable densities, based on the characteristics of the uses. Areas so designated are deemed suited to and with market potential for the uses. This designation is applied principally to undeveloped areas where unit and density flexibility will not adversely impact existing residential subdivisions, and where the housing market can be sufficiently broad and flexible to meet the various demands for housing. Permitted uses include single-family dwellings, schools, horticulture and some agricultural interests, neighborhood and community parks, churches, duplexes, multi-plexes, child care centers, and nursing homes. Proposed Zoning District Summary Single-Family Residential-3 (SF-3)- The SF-3 district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is single-family detached residential development at a moderate density. The regulations of this district are intended to discourage any use that would substantially interfere with the development of single-family detached dwellings and that would be detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district.

Holly and Saluda (TM# ) will need to be combined with the parent parcel and a subdivision plat showing all of the current and proposed property lines will need to be provided for review and approval. Also, please include all cross access agreements granting cross access to the 5 outparcels and the remainder of parcel # Please be sure to address any updated SCDOT comments regarding the TIA and site with the revision of the site plan.

44 Waterford Terrace Apartments - Plan Review Comments P. 1 of 1 Review of: Status: Project: Major Site Plan Not Approved Waterford Terrace Apartments Plan # Review Comments Inspections: Conditional Separate engineered plans must be submitted for all retaining walls and a separate permit is required. Zoning: Not Approved The one-way drive aisle around the mall area needs to be reconfigured to handle two-way traffic (preferably with a 22 wide drive aisle) from the main shared access road into the site to the first curb-cut located between the pool and mall and from this same curb-cut on the drive aisle exiting the site to the main shared access road. The drive aisle around the mall area can remain one-way, however it should be reduced to not give the appearance that two-way travel would be permissible. Adding some additional landscaping at the beginning of the one-way portion of the street may help achieve this effect as well. In order for pedestrians to have a safe way to get to the mall and swimming pool area, provide crosswalks across the loop road from the 4 different drive aisle (rows of 10 and 9 parking spaces) to the mall area. A lighting plan and photometric study is required for review. Please coordinate the lighting plan with the landscape plan to ensure that there are minimal conflicts with light poles, trees, etc. According to table 6-100(K) of the zoning code, loading areas should be provided at a rate of 1 per first 50 units plus 1 per each 200 units or major fraction thereof. Therefore, some type of loading/unloading areas (2 or 3) for tenants moving in/out of the buildings should be provided. One loading area on each side of the mall should sufficiently meet this requirement, or by utilizing some of the area in front of the garages as loading/unloading zones. Infrastructure-Landscape: Not Approved Some additional planting could be employed...especially at building corners and entrances as stated in the zoning ordinance. Tenants may appreciate some screening around the pool. Typically the landscape plan is submitted for review previous to full civil set for construction. Please review the landscaping standards set forth in the zoning ordinance. GIS/Addressing: Not Approved Please see provided sketch showing roads that need naming. Please contact me with a list of potential names so I can review them. E911: Not Approved Concerns about the on road parking that takes place around what will be the main entrance that circles all the way around the mall. Will emergency vehicles have the ability to maneuver in what appears to already be a tight parking situation? I agree that 6 road names should be submitted for this project to eliminate confusion and to allow for proper flow throughout the project. Please see GIS/Addressing comments regarding naming the roads.

Provide a temporary turnaround for emergency vehicles. Show the kayak launch and associated walkways in conjunction with the kayak parking. Infrastructure-Water & Sewer: Conditional The water main will need to be extended with the road. Infrastructure-Stormwater: Conditional Water quality will need to be provided for the road. Easements will need to be provided for any storm drains that extends outside of the ROW and coordinated with City Electrical and street tree locations. Profiles for the storm drain and along the existing culvert will be required.
