City services are currently available to the property. CURRENT PARCEL CHARACTERISTICS/CONDITIONS The subject parcel is 5.13 acres and located on the north corner of Spears Creek Church Road and Woodcreek Farms Road. Only a portion of this parcel is currently being annexed. PLANS, POLICIES, AND LAND USE Urban Service Area Subject parcel is in a Donut Hole as identified in the Urban Service Area Map Principles and Goals of the Urban Service Area 1
The Urban Service Area identifies those areas it wishes to provide with urban services. Primary emphasis will be given to annexing developed areas adjoining the city limits and islands of unincorporated territory surrounded by the city. Primary, secondary, and long-range annexation priorities for specific areas may be identified. Secondary areas may include higher value properties which assist the City in achieving a more balanced economic base. Donut Holes are unincorporated areas that are completely surrounded by the City of Columbia and/or another municipality. These areas pose a number of challenges to the City that can be addressed through annexation. They can often cause inefficiencies in the delivery of services due to confusion about jurisdiction. Also, if the land is in a jurisdiction with a different approach to code enforcement, these areas can negatively impact the quality of life for adjacent City residents. Such inefficiencies and the costs to taxpayers are germane to City and County property both, which results in a greater impact to City residents since they pay City and County taxes. The Columbia Plan 2018: Comprehensive Plan Land Use Classification Staff recommends subject parcel be designated Urban Edge Multi-Family (UEMF) in The Columbia Plan 2018 Future Land Use Map. Urban Core Multi-family is primarily a single-use infill or redevelopment type consisting of multi-family subdivisions in the core areas of the city. The development is most common after 1990. They are characterized by the subdivision of partial or whole blocks within core neighborhoods for redevelopment with multiple multifamily buildings. The buildings in these developments should address the existing city streets and new streets should be designed to continue the grid network found in the adjacent areas. They may include shared community facilities like pools, clubhouses, and recreation centers. Primary Types: Multi-family high-rise Multi-family small to large Secondary Types: Single-family attached Multi-family small to large mixed use Tertiary Types: Small format business/employment Small format civic/institutional Parking structures and lots PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT SUMMARY The parcel is currently zoned PDD (Planned Development) in Richland County. The surrounding lots are zoned PUD-R (Planned Unit Development, Residential), C-1 (Office and nstitutional), and RG-2 (General Residential, High Density) in the City of Columbia. The intent of planned unit development districts is to derive the benefits of efficiency, economy and flexibility by encouraging unified development of large sites. It is the intent of this article to allow development of large sites subject to specific regulations concerning permitted uses, but only subject to regulations concerning lot area, building coverage, yard spaces and building height insofar as the ity ouncil shall deem appropriate to fulfill the intent of this article, upon presentation of certification from the owners, developers or other parties at interest in the development of such sites that they will adhere to development policies which will fulfill the intent of this article. The PUD-R district is intended to accommodate residential uses, with nonresidential uses integrated into the design of such districts as secondary uses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of resolution assigning UEMF land use classification. Recommend to City Council the adoption of an ordinance assigning UEMF land use classification and recommendation to City Council to apply PUD-R zoning. 2
