Preliminary Plan of Subdivision for development of the College Park Metro Station site – Tom Haller, Bobby Gilbane: The purpose is to adjust lot lines between three existing parcels. Planning Board hearing is October 19. This is a site development concept plan; the full Detailed Site Plan will come to Council in the future. Ms. Bader reviewed the staff report and conditions. She noted one change regarding the traffic light since the Purple Line will require one. Mr. Haller said the property is owned by WMATA and will be developed under a joint development agreement with Gilbane. Currently, this is mostly a surface parking lot. They are in support of tunnel improvements and will review the request and get back to us. Regarding the concern about reflective noise, they will do a study and submit results with DSP. Councilmember Day to agenda. 2. Review of criteria for Community Events Micro-grant program – Bob Ryan. Staff recommendation to consent next week. 3. Presentation on Hollywood Streetscape Project – Terry Schum: In order to move from 30% design to 100% design, staff needs direction on the design elements that Council wants to incorporate, and on the phasing of the project. There is $1M on hand. To move forward, we will need to retain a consultant to prepare construction bid documents; go out to bid; award the contract; then start construction. Or, Council could kill or change the project. College Park City Council Worksession Minutes October 3, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Comments from the community meeting on June 14 were incorporated into the design. There was some negative reaction to the “art wall” so we will use landscaping instead. If Council does not want to incorporate public art, we will eliminate that going forward. The County suggested the City contract for a feasibility study about daylighting the stream. This should be done before moving forward – it could impact the wellness circuit. Should the fitness circuit be lit at night? Be closed at night? This budget is based on 30% design and does not include relocating utilities or stormwater management issues. Project budgets can increase with time; the consultant we hire will check back in at 60% with a more refined cost estimate. Go out to bid for a consultant. Post this project and Duvall Field project on the Planning page of the website. Need title work on the service roads north of Edgewood. Move wellness circuit to Phase 2. Phase 1 will include #3, #2 and #4 from the staff report. Concern about the “non-sidewalk sidewalk” by the retaining wall: at 3 feet wide it is not ADA complaint. This item will return for contract award for the consultant. 4 Program Year 44 CDBG Application – Steve Beavers: Application for stronger pedestrian light poles on US 1 that can support banners, hang flower baskets and have electrical outlets. Consent. 5 Discussion of legislation to address large gatherings – Removed from agenda. 6 Requests For/Status of Future Agenda items – None. 7 Appointments to Boards and Committees – Jordan Schackner to CBE and MLK. 8 Mayor and Councilmember Comments – Duvall Field ribbon cutting on Friday October 13 at 5:30; College Park Academy ribbon cutting; AWC fundraiser last week; College Park woods meet & greet; SGA candidate forum on October 30; Mayor attended County Beautification awards. 9 City Manager's Comments – None. ADJOURN: Into Closed Session to discuss the acquisition of real property for a public purpose and matters directly related to said acquisition; to consult with Counsel on a legal matter; to discuss a negotiating strategy before a contract is awarded, to consider matters that relate to collective bargaining negotiations and to discuss a personnel matter. 9:49 p.m. (Kujawa/Brennan) ____________________________________________ Janeen S.

City Clerk’s Office: 240-487-3501 002 2 1 Preliminary Plan of Subdivision College Park Metro Station site The attachments for this item are posted separately at this link: http://www.collegeparkmd.gov/document_center/MayorCouncil/Agendas/2017Worksessio n/100317WS.Item%201.College%20Park%20Metro%20Attachments..pdf 003 CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: Miriam Bader, Senior Planner Meeting Date: October 3, 2017 Presented By: Miriam Bader Proposed Consent Agenda: No Originating Department: Planning, Community and Economic Development Issue Before Council: Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-17009 for College Park Metro Apartments Strategic Plan Goal: Goal # 3 – High Quality Development and Reinvestment Background/Justification: This is an application submitted by Gilbane Development Company to adjust lot lines between three existing deeded parcels. Gilbane has entered into a Joint Development Agreement with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to construct mixed-use buildings adjacent to the College Park Metro Station. The purpose of the lot line adjustment is to create a legal parcel for the development. As part of the application, the applicant is requesting two variation requests: 1. A variation to allow the Public Utility Easement (PUE) to be less than the required 10 feet wide and in a location other than along the street; and 2. A variation of five feet from the 300-foot lot depth required for residential development of a lot adjacent to a transit line. Minor impacts to the floodplain and stream buffer will also occur with this project. The site is located at 7201 River Road between River Road and the rail lines. It is zoned MUI/TDO and is currently improved with a surface parking lot used by College Park Metro Station commuters. After subdivision, the Gilbane property will be 5.58 acres. The proposed project has 432 multifamily dwelling units and 12,000 square feet of retail and is subject to approval of a Detailed Site Plan which has not yet been accepted for review. A Traffic Impact Study and Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Study have been submitted and reviewed. Fiscal Impact: If approved, the site will generate real property taxes for the City (WMATA was exempt). The Applicant has submitted an application for a City Revitalization Tax Credit which will be reviewed at the time of Detailed Site Plan. Council Options: 1. Recommend approval of PP 4-17009 with conditions in accordance with staff recommendation. 2. Recommend approval of PP 4-17009 with different conditions. 3. Recommend denial of PP 4-17009. Staff Recommendation: #1 Recommended Motion: I move to recommend approval of PP 4-17009 with conditions as stated in the staff recommendation. Attachments: 1. Staff Report 2. Preliminary Plan of Subdivision and Site Development Concept Plan 3. Applicant Statement of Justification 4. Variation Requests 5. Hush Acoustics, LLC Noise and Vibration Study 6.

Floodplain and Stream Buffer Impacts Statement of Justification 004 ATTACHMENT 1 City Staff Review and Recommendation Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-17009 College Park Metro Apartments 7201 River Road Applicant’s Proposal (Attachment 2 and 3) This application is for review of a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision. Gilbane and WMATA have entered into a joint development agreement whereby Gilbane will construct two residential buildings adjacent to the College Park Metro Station. In order to proceed with this project, a lot line adjustment needs to be made. The WMATA property contains a total of 8.92 acres in three separate parcels. This subdivision application will adjust the lot lines as follows: Parcel Existing Proposed Existing Use Proposed Use Number Acres Acres 1 1.39 5.58 Metro Commuter Parking Mixed Use (431- Lot 440*apartment units and 12,000 – 13,300* square feet of retail) 2 (called the 0.04 0.61 Metro Commuter Parking Landscaped buffer Brooks Parcel) Lot and Washington between Metro Suburban Sanitary Station and Commission (WSSC) 60- development inch water main 3 7.49 2.73 Undisturbed woods abutting Purple Line existing rail line *Submitted materials differ in the number of units but range from 431 to 440 units and in the amount of retail space from 12,000 to 13,300 square feet. A fixed number will be established at the time of Detailed Site Plan. As part of the Preliminary Plan of Subdivision process, the Applicant has also submitted a site development concept plan. A more specific plan will be submitted at the time of Detailed Site Plan (DSP). The concept plan shows two, red brick, 6-story buildings: a north building with 193 multifamily units, 12,000 square feet of retail and a courtyard, and a south building with 247 multifamily units and 2 courtyards. The site will be accessed by three driveways off of River Road, the northern most (closest to the Metro station) will be one-way in and the other two will be two-way driveways. Parking will be provided with 411 spaces (61 surface parking spaces, 299 spaces in the southern parking garage and 51 spaces in the northern parking garage). The plan also indicates 24 bicycle parking spaces and 4 loading spaces. A total of 577 parking spaces are required so a variation request will be needed for the parking space reduction at the time of DSP. 005 Variation Requests, (Attachments 4 and 5) The Applicant is requesting the following two variation requests: 1. A variation to allow the Public Utility Easement (PUE) to be less than 10 feet wide and in a location other than along the street. 2. A variation of five (5) feet from the required minimum lot depth of 300-feet to 295-feet. This lot depth is required for residential development of a lot adjacent to a transit line. PUE Variation-Justification and City Staff Comments The property is regulated by the 2015 Approved College Park-Riverdale Park Transit District Development Plan (TDDP). Since this plan recommends new buildings be built close to the road, the Applicant would like to comply by locating the PUE along the proposed internal driveways instead of along River Road. City staff is not opposed to the PUE variation since the Applicant is willing to work with the utility companies to provide a mutually acceptable alternative location and since the TDDP recognizes that PUEs may need to be accommodated in areas other than along roadways (p. 199) in order to facilitate a more urban form of development. Lot Depth Variation-Justification and City Staff Comments on Noise Concerns The intent of the 300-foot lot depth requirement is to protect dwellings from undue noise and vibration generated by existing or proposed mass transit lines, highways, rail-lines, etc. In this case, the lot is 295 feet deep from the planned Purple Line, only 5 feet short of the requirement. City staff is not opposed to the lot depth variation because the Applicant submitted a noise and vibration study and will proffer suitable noise and vibration mitigation measures at the time of detailed site plan. Residents have expressed concern about the possible reflective noise and vibration impacts created by the proposed development to the existing residences west of the CSX railroad tracks, the Green metro line and the proposed Purple Line. If this variation is approved, City staff has added conditions to ensure these concerns are adequately addressed. Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Statement (BPIS), Attachment 6 As part of the Preliminary Plan of Subdivision process, the Applicant must demonstrate conformance with Sec. 24-124.01 of the Prince George’s County Code which requires the provision of adequate public pedestrian and bikeway facilities. According to the scoping agreement, the Applicant is required to provide $133,500 for improvements ($136,200 according to MNCPPC staff). The Applicant proposes providing an estimated $182,936 in improvements, exceeding the requirement. The improvements are proposed to be located on the newly created parcel to the north of the Gilbane Property, named the Brooks Parcel. This parcel is in between the development and the Metro Station and contains a WSSC easement for storm water management. The improvements proposed include providing an 8-foot wide trail system including one main, direct trail from the Property to the Metro station and several connector trails for a total of 700 linear feet of trails. Also on the Brooks Parcel, the Applicant is proposing 006 to provide a tree-lined seating area and a bike-share station (19-dock, 10 bicycles, installation and one year of operation and maintenance). The bike-share station will tie into the system operated by the City of College Park but the Applicant will also reserve space for a future system that will tie into the District of Columbia’s system (Capital Bikeshare), resulting in a bike-share transfer system. City staff visited the site and concluded that the proposal should be simplified and redesigned to maintain a direct connection to the pedestrian/bicycle tunnel maintained by the City. This tunnel is highly used and provides an important connection between the west and east side of the tracks. Rather than creating redundant trails, staff encourages the Applicant to provide one western connection from the Development through the Brooks Parcel to connect to the existing WMATA sidewalk. In addition, Staff would like the BPIS funds used to enhance the tunnel, with the following improvements: 1. Provide an artistic entrance on both sides of the tunnel. 2. Change the light fixtures from sodium to LED lighting and put in heavy duty vandal proof cages. 3. Repaint the interior with graffiti resistant white paint. 4. Place signage at both entrances to “Walk Bike through Tunnel” 5. Replace mirror to be more functional As for the proposed bike-share station, the City is already working with WMATA to install an mBike station on their property near the tunnel where current bike racks are located. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), Attachment 7 A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared as required for subdivisions. Total Trip Generation rates are shown in the table below: AM Peak Total PM Peak Total Daily Total Total Primary Trips 251 341 3774 The report concluded that the project will satisfy the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) and all intersections will meet the requirements for acceptable operations. Of note is the discussion the Applicant provided concerning what they identified as “Intersection 6” (River Road and Rivertech Court). Although the traffic signal warrant analysis indicated that a signal is warranted, the Applicant argues that this signal should be provided by others in the future since most of the traffic impact is due to other projects, not the proposed project, and since the Purple Line is expected to be operational in 2022, which might necessitate specialized signal equipment. City staff is not comfortable with the Applicant not adequately addressing the need for a warranted traffic signal at River Road and Rivertech Court. We have consulted with M- NCPPC technical staff and they agree with our concern. We are working on a condition together to address this concern prior to the October 10 City Council meeting. 007 Floodplain and Stream Buffer (PMA) Impacts, Attachment 8 The Applicant seeks approval to impact the Primary Management Area (PMA). According to Sect. 27-124.01 (a) (22) of the Prince George’s County Zoning Ordinance, the Primary Management Area is a “vegetated buffer preserved and/or restored along all regulated streams outside the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Overlay Zone...” The northern entrance to the Property is encumbered by a small amount of floodplain and stream valley buffer (0.06 acres). The Applicant’s proposal, to replace existing impervious pavement on 0.035 acres or 1,525 square feet of PMA, requires approval. According to the Applicant, “it is necessary to remove the existing parking and pavement in the PMA for parking and bio filter/retention” and “the existing parking lot already impacts the stream buffer and floodplain; impacts for parking and access do not exceed current impacts with existing improvements.” City staff is not opposed to approval of the impact request since the existing infrastructure already impacts the PMA, the area is relatively small, impacts will not be increased and no habitat or wetlands will be disturbed. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends approval of Preliminary Plan 4-17009 and the associated variation requests with the following conditions: 1. Prior to DSP approval, the Applicant shall take all necessary measures to mitigate interior noise and vibration to suitable levels as recommended in the most recent Hush Acoustics LLC study. 2. Prior to DSP approval, the Applicant shall conduct a noise study to assess the possible impacts the proposed buildings will have on residences located west of the tracks. If the results show a perceptible impact: a. Show a detail for an absorptive material or coating to be used on the buildings in order to mitigate reflective noise. b. The absorptive material or coating shall have a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.70 or greater. c. The absorptive material or coating shall be used for the entirety of the west side of the buildings facing the railroad tracks. 3. Prior to signature approval of the Preliminary Plan, the Applicant shall: a. Submit a revised plan for the Brooks Parcel that minimizes the amount of impervious trail surface and impact to existing trees, and that provides a more direct connection to the tunnel and Metro Station. b. Enhance the existing bicycle/pedestrian tunnel through the following measures: 1. Provide an artistic treatment to better delineate the entrances on both sides of the tunnel. 2. Change the light fixtures from sodium to LED lighting and put in heavy duty vandal proof cages. 3. Repaint the interior with graffiti resistant white paint. 008 4. Replace signage at both entrances to “Walk Bike through Tunnel” 5. Replace mirror to be more functional. c. Placeholder for a condition to address the warranted traffic signal at River Road and Rivertech Court. 009 2 Criteria for Community Events Micro-grant program 010 CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: R. W. Ryan Meeting Date: Oct. 3, 2017 Public Services Director Presented By: R. W. Ryan Proposed Consent Agenda: No Public Services Director Originating Department: Public Services Department Issue Before Council: Review of criteria for Community Events Micro Grant Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 1: One College Park Background/Justification: The current micro-grant policy was adopted by Council on July 15, 2014 (14-G-75). Council at that time wanted to review, and approve or deny, each grant in their District. This section of the policy may have been to reserve the right of refusal for certain kinds of events that may have resulted in loud music, etc. More recently, Council Members have indicated that they might prefer to delegate review and approval of grant applications to the City Manager and staff. Proposed revisions to this policy are attached for Council review and discussion. Proposed revisions would update the original policy statement, and delegate review and approval to the City Manager if the Council wishes to do so. An option for the City Manager to schedule a Worksession for Council to consider support for any potentially controversial events has been retained in the proposed revision. An unedited copy of the current policy is attached. Also attached is the accompanying street closing policy needed for some micro-grant events. Fiscal Impact: The micro-grant program is currently funded for a total of $5,000 for FY18. Council Options: #1: Support proposed revisions to current policy, including delegation of approval to City Manager. #2: Support proposed revisions to current policy, and retain District Council Member approval. #3: Reject proposed revisions.

They made a presentation of their preliminary results at the May 2, 2017 City Council Worksession and were asked to hold an additional community meeting which took place on June 14, 2017. On September 14, 2017, staff presented the final design report to the North College Park Community Association. The proposed design features and their estimated costs are listed below: 1. Muskogee to Edgewood Streetscape and Bike Lanes $ 462,861 2. Edgewood/Narragansett Traffic Calming 13,670 3. Niagara Road Intersection Reconfiguration 81,197 4. Parklets/Service Lane Removal 667,095 5. Wellness Circuit & Gateway Plazas - Muskogee 347,189 6. Wellness Circuit & Gateway Plaza - Narragansett 484,853 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION $2,056,865 Design $ 250,000 General Conditions 308,530 Permits 102,843 Contingency (10%) 205,687 GRAND TOTAL $2,923,925 During the course of outreach for the project, the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation expressed concern about the condition of the piped stream within the county stormwater easement along the Narragansett Parkway right-of-way. After several consultations, it was determined that a feasibility study should be conducted to assess the possibility of daylighting the stream prior to the construction of a wellness circuit in this location. A preliminary cost proposal of $22,000 was obtained from an environmental consultant to perform this assessment. The next steps for this project include the following: 1. Determine the scope of work and phasing for the final design and construction. There are several elements of the design that need to be refined during 100% design. These include the use of public art in the parklets, the type and amount of pedestrian-scale street lights and bollard lights, the selection of bench and shade structure styles and materials, and specific plant species and locations. All of these design decisions will have budget impacts. Currently there is $1,000,000 available in the capital budget (including the $150,000 state bond bill and $95,000 Program Open Space funding) to move forward with design and construction. In their report, the consultants have recommended a phasing plan but other scenarios are possible. For example, given the funding availability and county concerns about the wellness circuit, it might make more sense to do the parklets, Edgewood Road traffic calming and upgrades to the Niagara Road intersection in Phase 1 and defer the other work to a later phase. Council input is needed to make this determination. 029 2. Select a consultant to prepare 100% design plans and construction documents. There are two options that may be pursued. The first is to continue to work with our current consultants. This would involve obtaining a cost proposal and Council award of a sole-source contract. The second option is to draft a RFP for these services and obtain competitive bids. This process could take 3-4 months with a Council award of contract in January 2018. Staff is seeking Council direction on the preferred option. 3. Complete construction documents (plans and specifications) for bidding. It is estimated that this will take approximately 6 months to complete. Community and City Council review will be included at the 60% design stage. 4. Advertise for construction bids and award construction contract. This process will take approximately 2 months. 5. Start construction. It is estimated that construction could start in the fall of 2018 and be completed in 6 months. Fiscal Impact: The total estimated design and construction cost to complete the project is $2,923,925 based on the current 30% design report. There is approximately $1,000,000 available to proceed with the project which will need to be constructed in phases. Council Options: 1. Determine project phasing and consultant selection process in order to proceed with the project within current budget parameters. Provide/seek additional funding to complete. 2. Modify the project design elements in order to eliminate phasing and work within budget constraints. 3. Put the project on hold until there is additional funding to complete in its entirety. 4. Cancel the project.

The upcoming round of funding is for Program Year 44 (PY 44) and applications are due by October 12. Prince George's County receives an annual allocation from HUD which is then distributed to municipalities on a competitive basis. CDBG-eligible areas consist of primarily low and moderate income (LMI) populations. CDBG-eligible areas in College Park include Old Town, Lord Calvert Manor and the Branchville, Berwyn, and Lakeland neighborhoods west of Rhode Island Avenue. The City has used CDBG funding for sidewalks, street lighting and paving in eligible areas and awards have averaged around $100,000. This year, staff proposes to submit an application for 25 pedestrian light posts to be installed on Baltimore Avenue from Calvert Road to Knox Road where the existing poles have been found to be unsuitable for banners. Previous banner usage has damaged the poles and the lighting elements. The new posts would further our initiative to place welcoming banners along Baltimore Ave. The cost of this replacement is estimated to be approximately $95,000. City staff has located poles from an alternate supplier that have the same general style as the existing downtown fixtures. Several have already been installed as pilots in Old Town and their performance has been validated. The new poles will use existing wiring and fit onto existing bolts, greatly speeding up the work and reducing the cost of installation. In addition to stronger poles, the new lights will be LED which will result in savings of both energy costs and staff time involved in changing out light bulbs. The LED fixtures will also provide a wider lighting area on the sidewalk, and a more pleasant color temperature than the existing fixtures. Fiscal Impact: None at this time. No matching City funds required for this program. Council Options: #1 Approve application for pedestrian light posts. #2 Modify application. #3 Defer or deny application. Staff Recommendation: #1 Recommended Motion: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Program Year 44 Community Development Block Grant Application.
