The Applicant, York Acquisitions, LLC, is a student housing developer from Charlotte, NC. Realty Development, LLC currently owns both properties. The lots are zoned Mixed-Use Infill (MUI) with a Development District (DDOZ) Overlay. The northern parcel contains a 2-story brick building (982 square feet) and a 3-story brick building (6,567 square feet), and the southern property contains a 2-story brick building (2,182 square feet). The proposal is to raze these structures and construct a 9-story building on each site for a total of 129 dwelling units (434 beds). Building 1 will have 285 beds and Building 2 will have 149 beds for an overall density of 152.5 dwelling units per acre. There will be ancillary retail space on the ground floor of both buildings totaling 2,462 square feet. Parking will be provided in a parking garage beneath Building 1 containing 99 parking spaces accessed via a driveway from Knox Road. There will be no vehicular access or parking on Parcel 2. A variation request to waive the Public Utility Easement requirements has been submitted with this application. The tentative Planning Board date is scheduled for January 7, 2021. Proposed Plan The PPS proposes to designate Parcel A (Lord Calvert Manor, Block G) north of Knox Road, as Parcel 1, and Lot 57 (Block H, Lord Calvert Manor) south of Knox Road, as Parcel 2. The configuration of these properties remains unchanged; however, preliminary plan of subdivision is required since the Applicant is proposing the construction of multiple dwelling units. There is one previous Preliminary Plan of Subdivision for the two properties known as 12-1930. There are no records available for this plan and the subject preliminary plan will supersede it. Parcel 1 contains 0.626 acres or 27,250 square feet and is bounded by Knox Road to the south and Lehigh Road to the north. Parcel 2 contains 0.220 acres, or 9,583 square feet and is bordered by Knox Road to the north and Guilford Drive to the south. Both Knox Road and Guilford Drive are City streets while Lehigh Road is a University of Maryland-controlled street. Knox Road has a right- of-way width of 60 feet, and Guilford Drive has a right-of-way width of 110 feet. 005  2 Environmental A Natural Resources Inventory Plan (NRI 055-2020-01) has been submitted and approved by M- NCPPC. Parcel 1 has extreme slopes (≥15%) along the entire Lehigh Road frontage and much of the Knox Road frontage. Parcel 2 contains 0.02 acres (718 square feet) of 100-year floodplain along the Guilford Drive frontage. The Applicant submitted Floodplain Study 2020-07-01- FPL for review. The County issued a Woodland Conservation Exemption letter on April 23, 2020 since the properties have no previous Tree Conservation Plan (TCP) approvals and are less than 40,000 square feet in size. Both lots have been developed and do not contain any forest. Comment: The County’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) approved Floodplain waiver FPS 201303 to build within the 100-year floodplain (Memorandum from Shirley Anthony, October 29, 2020). DPIE further concludes that “the floodplain waiver will result in removal of an existing flood-prone building in poor and abandoned condition.” Stormwater Management The project involves redevelopment of two existing developed sites. The project will be designed to treat 100% of the existing and new impervious area. The proposed impervious area will be 0.67 acres or 67.7% which meets the maximum permitted lot coverage of 80%. The Applicant submitted Stormwater Management Concept Plan No. 22870-2020, which indicates that stormwater will be collected and treated by an underground storm filter system (Parcel 1) and a micro-bioretention facility (Parcel 2). Comment: The proposed development, though more intensive, may improve stormwater management on the site since it will comply with today’s stricter standards. Soils Christiana clay (poor soil to support a foundation) was found on-site, and a soils report is likely to be required at the time of Detailed Site Plan review. Landscape Manual Conformance and Tree Canopy Coverage Conformance The Sector Plan requirements for streetscape and landscaping improvements replace most of the Landscape Manual requirements. The tree canopy coverage requirement is 10%. Conformance with these requirements will be evaluated at the time of DSP review. Comment: The building footprints shown on the PPS show very little space remaining on each lot for required landscaping. Also, sites in the MUI zone must provide a minimum of 10% of their gross tract area in tree canopy coverage (TCC). Conformance with TCC criteria will be evaluate at DSP review, and Staff is recommending that the requirement be fulfilled on site. 006  3 Adequate Public Facilities M-NCPPC staff have reviewed the project for compliance with the adequate public facilities regulations and made the following findings:  Police Facilities* - Response time and equipment are adequate.  Fire and Rescue* - Response time and equipment are adequate. *Under CR69-2006, the Prince George’s County Council and the County Executive suspended the provisions of Section 24-122.01(e)(1) (A, B) regarding sworn police and fire and rescue personnel staffing levels.  Schools – Undergraduate student housing has minimal impact on K-12 school enrollment. This project is subject to the school facilities surcharge fee of $9,741 per dwelling unit. This fee is to be paid to DPIE at the time of building permit.  Water and Sewerage- The project is adequately served by public water and public sewer.  Capital Improvement Program (CIP)- There are no CIP projects noted in the Prince George’s County FY 2020-2025 for this area (Planning Area 66, College Park, Berwyn Heights Vicinity).  Transportation - A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared by Lenhart Traffic Consulting, Inc. on 8-20-20, and updated 10-01-20 to include the Knox Road/Greystar Development (see Attachment 2, submittal link to view). The Traffic Count was conducted on January 29, 2020 when school was in session and prior to pandemic restrictions going into effect. Transportation facilities were found to be adequate. Traffic Impact Analysis The Applicant conducted a TIA following Prince George’s County Transportation Review Guidelines (2012) and Sector Plan guidelines. The guidelines prescribe specific analyses of the Average Critical Lane Volume (CLV) and Level of Service (LOS) of all signalized intersections along a section of US 1 including the following nine intersections: US 1/Campus Drive, US 1/The Hotel at the University of Maryland, US 1/Yale Avenue/Rossborough Drive, US 1/Fraternity Row, US 1/College Avenue/Regents Drive, US 1/Knox Road, US 1/Hartwick Road, US 1/Calvert Road, and US 1/Guilford Drive (see page 4). The study also evaluated the adjacent unsignalized intersection at Guilford Drive and Knox Road (identified as intersection A). The Guidelines specify that the average CLV of all signalized intersections in the study area must operate at 1,600 or less, and the average LOS must be E or better. The study showed that the average CLV is less than 1,100 (Peak Period CLV is 811 for AM trips and 1035 for PM trips), and the average LOS for the AM peak is A and B for the PM peak. The proposed trip generation is 56 Peak AM trips and 73 Peak PM trips (see page 5). The corridor will operate well within acceptable parameters (see page 6). Also, the study showed that the existing unsignalized intersection of Guilford Drive at Knox Road/Mowatt Lane passes the three-tiered test for unsignalized intersections using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The test requires that unsignalized intersections operate with an average of less than 50 seconds of delay per vehicle. Even though the study shows that the evening peak hour southbound approach operates at a LOS F, the actual traffic volume is not that 007  4 heavy (387 through vehicles heading from Mowatt/Guilford toward US 1, and 214 vehicles making a left from Mowatt onto Knox). But it is enough to cause some delays because of the all- way stop. Following are exhibits that show the scope of the study area, trip generation rates and level of service results. 008  5 ........

Staff supports the M-NCPPC transportation staff recommendation of establishing a trip cap of 56 AM and 73 peak hour vehicle trips. MDOT noted in a memo to the Applicant dated November 9, 2020 that “a general discussion regarding the US 1 reconstruction project and how it might impact operations at the study intersections has been omitted from the [Applicant’s] report. The project extends north from College Avenue to MD 193. The US 1 intersections at College Ave, Fraternity Row, Rossborough Lane, University of Maryland Hotel Drive, and Campus Drive comprise 5 out of 9 of the study intersections in the TIA. Also, the Purple Line light rail transit line will cross US 1 at the Rossborough Lane intersection. Construction is underway for the US 1 reconstruction project and is expected to be complete by the end of 2023.” The Applicant has not yet replied to this comment. 010  7 Bicycle Pedestrian Impact Study (BPIS) The proposed project is in the UMD Center, a General Plan 2035 Center. It is subject to Sec. 24- 124.01, of the Prince George’s County Code which requires adequate public pedestrian and bikeway facilities in County Centers and Corridors. Based on the number of dwelling units and the square footage of retail, the Applicant is required to provide a maximum of $44,000 for off- site improvements. The Applicant proposes restriping crosswalk pavement markings and installing pedestrian warning signs at Mowatt Lane and Preinkert Lane; widening an existing 4-foot segment of sidewalk perpendicular to the northeast corner of Knox Road and Mowatt Lane/Guilford Drive; and upgrading an existing ramp and installing pedestrian warning signs for a total cost of $15,075. Comment: City staff, M-NCPPC staff and the Applicant met to discuss possible additional improvements such as: - Replacing existing sidewalk on Guilford Drive from Rowalt Drive to US-1 that is less than 5 feet wide. The Applicant’s engineer will confirm the width of existing sidewalk and ROW available. - Installing a raised crosswalk mid-block on Knox Road to connect proposed Building 1 to proposed Building 2. - Installing sharrow markings and “Bicycles May Use Full Lane” signs on Mowatt Lane northbound within the one half-mile radius of the Applicant’s property and installing a bicycle lane on Mowatt Lane southbound where it will fit. Since the University owns this section of Mowatt Lane, their consent will be necessary. - Installing two perpendicular ramps on the east side of Mowatt Lane to connect and make ADA accessible the sidewalks opposite the driveway adjacent to the Mowatt Lane Garage. Consent from the University will be necessary. This submittal is subject to the 2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation (MPOT) and 2010 Approved Central US 1 Corridor Sector Plan which recommend the following facilities:  Shared roadway along Mowatt Lane  Shared roadway along Guilford Drive  Shared roadway along Hartwick Road Comment: There are existing shared roadway markings (sharrows) along Guilford Drive and Knox Road. There are no sharrows along Mowatt Lane or along Hartwick Road but sharrows will be added to Hartwick through other proposed development. Any work on Mowatt Lane or campus property will be subject to the approval of the University of Maryland. 011  8 Streetscape Improvements Sidewalks The submitted application includes a site development concept plan showing a 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the Knox Road property frontage of Building 1, a 4-foot-wide sidewalk along the Knox Road property frontage of Building 2, and a 4-foot-wide sidewalk along the Guilford Drive property frontage of Building 2. Comment: All sidewalks along the property frontages need to be a minimum of 6-feet wide to match the adjoining existing and proposed (The Hub) sidewalks. The proposed sidewalks are shown in the existing public right-of-way; however, if the recommended sidewalk width requires private property, easements will be needed. Street Trees Comment: At the time of DSP, the Applicant is required to show street trees at a minimum spacing of 30 feet on center (p. 265 of the Sector Plan) via a continuous planter with a width of 4-6 feet (p. 263). Street Lighting Comment: At the time of DSP, the Applicant is required to show pedestrian-scaled light fixtures generally not more than 30 feet on center (p. 266 of Sector Plan). These pedestrian lighting fixtures should match the adjoining lighting fixtures used along Knox Road’s southern side and the northern side of Guilford Drive and be maintained by the Applicant. Mandatory Dedication of Parkland Sec. 24-134 of the Prince George’s County Code requires conformance with mandatory dedication of parkland. Sec. 24-135 allows recreational facilities or a fee-in-lieu to be substituted for parkland if approved by the Planning Board. The Applicant is proposing to exceed this requirement by providing on-site private recreational amenities. Comment: The Applicant needs to provide more information regarding proposed recreational facilities to determine if the proposal meets the mandatory dedication of recreational facilities requirement. Historic Preservation The subject property is currently developed with apartment buildings constructed in 1965 to house students attending the University of Maryland. The buildings are garden-style apartments with two to three stories and a basement opening on to green space. Comment: M-NCPPC HPC staff recommends, and City staff agrees, that since these buildings are more than 50 years old, they should be documented on a Maryland Inventory of Historic 012  9 Properties (MIHP) form prior to their demolition. The documentation should include floor plans and representative interior and exterior photographs. Site Design Opportunities Comment: M-NCPPC Urban Design staff noted, and City staff agrees, that at the time of DSP, the Applicant should approach the redevelopment of the two lots as an opportunity to create an attractive gateway feature on Knox Road. In addition, height and massing of proposed buildings should be in scale with surrounding development. Variation Request The Applicant is requesting a variation to waive the 10-foot wide public utility easement (PUE) requirement along all streets and roadways. Comment: Staff supports this variation since Knox Road and Guilford Drive already have the necessary utilities within the rights-of-way. Recommendation City staff recommends supporting Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-20017 and the variation to waive the 10-foot public utility easement requirement with the following conditions: 1. Total development within the subject property shall be limited to uses that would generate no more than 56 AM and 73 PM peak-hour vehicle trips. Any development generating an impact greater than this shall require a new PPS, with a new determination of the adequacy of transportation facilities. 2. Prior to signature approval: a. Revise the TIA to include an assessment of the operational impact of the following on the results of the study: date of the traffic counts, US 1 reconstruction and road closures, and coronavirus. b. Provide more detailed information regarding proposed recreational facilities to determine if the proposal meets the mandatory dedication of recreational facilities requirement. 3. At the time of DSP: a. Show adequate area on-site for required landscaping and tree canopy coverage area. b. Show a minimum of 6-foot wide sidewalks along property frontages. If this cannot be met within the public right-of ways, public access easements will be required. 013  10 c. Show street trees behind the curb at a minimum spacing of 30 feet on center with a 4-6-foot planter width. d. Show pedestrian-scaled light fixtures behind the curb, generally not more than 30 feet on center, that match the adjoining lighting fixtures along Knox Road and Guilford Drive. e. Show on-site publicly accessible bike racks and an area reserved for micro- mobility share parking. f. Incorporate gateway elements into the project’s architectural design and ensure the height and massing of proposed buildings are in scale with surrounding existing and proposed development. 4. Prior to building permit approval, the Applicant shall demonstrate that the following adequate pedestrian and bikeway facilities up to a cost cap of $44,000, have been permitted for construction through the proper authority including an agreed-upon timetable for construction and completion: a. Replace existing sidewalk on Guilford Road from Rowalt Drive to US-1 that is less than 5-feet wide. b. Install a raised crosswalk on Knox Road to connect Building 1 at 4205 Knox Road to Building 2 at 4206 Knox Road. c. Widen the existing 4-foot sidewalk segment to 5 feet and upgrade existing ramp perpendicular to the northeast corner of Knox Road and Mowatt Lane/Guilford Drive. d. Install sharrow markings and “Bicycles May Use Full Lane” signs on Mowatt Lane northbound within the one-half-mile radius of the Applicant’s property and install bicycle lanes on Mowatt Lane southbound where it will fit, subject to approval of the University of Maryland. e. Install two perpendicular ADA ramps on the east side of Mowatt Lane to connect the sidewalks opposite the driveway adjacent to the Mowatt Lane garage, subject to approval of the University of Maryland. 5. Prior to approval of the issuance of a demolition permit, all structures on the subject property shall be documented on a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties form to be reviewed and approved by Historic Preservation staff. The form shall include floor plans, representative interior and exterior photos of the dwellings, and exterior photographs of the outbuildings and signage. 014  2 Proposed 2021 Mayor and Council Meeting Schedule 015  CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: Janeen S.
