The changes made are in an effort to unify the framework that binds the neighborhoods and communities together through transportation, open space, public facilities, and walkable centers. Some change highlights to the plan are:  Adding community centers and bike/pedestrian corridors to the Walkable Centers Map  Adding language that links walkability and housing with community health access by prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian considerations in the regulation development process.  Adding language to incentivize desired housing types.  New strategies for Economic Development  Linking natural systems maps to the T-1 Transects in the Small Area Plans to better integrate stormwater plans.  New strategies for interactions between rail, industrial, and residential areas. The next scheduled public hearing on this item will be held on May 28, 2025. The consultants concluded their presentation. Mr. Durham opened the floor to the Dais for questions.

Ms. Whitehead requested that the concept of Community Health point be integrated into essential services. Mr. Durham and the consultant team discussed aspects of the process of how this plan was put together through small area plans, community input, expansion of concepts, and interactive story maps.

ADOPTION OF MINUTES [01:14:04] (Attachment) A. Minutes - January 22, 2025 Joint Planning Commission Meeting with City Council Mr. Durham asked if any commissioner had comments that would preclude the minutes being adopted. None responded. Mr. Durham declared the minutes adopted. 12. PLANNING COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS [01:14:32] A. Chairman Comments Mr. Durham noted that the Comprehensive Plan Area 5 Plan is with the City Council for action. The next Planning Commission Public Hearing on the new Comprehensive Plan is scheduled for May 14, 2025. Mr. Durham explained that the Planning Commission meets on the second and/or fourth Wednesday of each month. Tonight’s meeting is called a Supplementary Meeting. Supplementary Meetings are scheduled when the Planning Commission has additional business. Mr. Durham noted that the previous Planning Commission Public Hearing on the Area 5 Plan was attended by the public and televised as part of the public record. B. Commissioner Comments Mr. Caswell noted that the actual wording in the Comprehensive Plan is “Commercial Outlook”. The “Neighborhood Commercial Overlay District” occurs earlier in the document. The future land use plans for College Avenue do not contain an overlay district. Mr. Craig and the Dais discussed the attributes of a “Neighborhood Commercial Overlay District” and the processes involved in implementing an Overlay District. Mr. Craig reviewed the areas of the city that currently have Overlay Districts. Ms. Whitehead, Mr. Durham, and Mr. Craig discussed what the term “determine appropriateness” means in the Planning Commission’s reviewing and recommendation processes. The term is not meant as a requirement step, rather, it is meant to reflect the considerations of current issues that are before the Planning Commission and City Council at the time. 13.

My name is Rebekah Eaton. I live at 811 Weedon St. 22401. Please remove the Neighborhood COMMERCIAL Overlay District from the Area 5/Comp Plan. College Heights is a healthy neighborhood. It does not need a COMMERCIAL Overlay District. Thank you for this consideration. Rebekah 1 Tanagra S. Cafferky From: Matthew Kelly <kelly058@verizon.net> Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2025 1:00 PM To: Planning Subject: [EXTERNAL] REMARKS--General Public Comment Planning Commission Meeting 4/23 Please read the following during Public Comments: Matthew Kelly, 1309 Hanover Street. I have received several calls regarding the Area 5 plan allowing commercial operations within College Heights. An issue that has not been directly discussed during the public engagement process to date. If this is the case, it is a discussion that needs to take place with the residents of College Heights before any action is taken. A few points in this regard: 1. College Heights is already close to, and impacted by, commercial development. 2. College Heights is already dealing with the impacts from traffic, parking, and other issues related to UMW and some of the larger churches in the area that have operations that go beyond just Sunday services. 3. Allowing commercial operations in College Heights was NOT a proposal that came from the neighborhood. Before any action is taken, an explanation needs to be made on how this proposal came forward and what it is trying to achieve as it relates to College Heights. An explanation that needs to be made directly to the residents of College Heights in a setting where they can participate in the discussion. I have read the staff report on the Area 5 Plan for tonight's supplementary meeting, which is unclear and makes little sense to anyone not directly involved in the points referenced, i.e., city residents. This and the fact that this discussion is taking place outside the normal meeting schedule are concerning. My apologies if the information I have received is in any way inaccurate, but as noted, the presentation of materials does not paint a clear picture. That in itself calls for a more robust effort to inform the public before action is taken. Matt Kelly 1309 Hanover Street Fredericksburg, VA 540-455-7122 1 Tanagra S. Cafferky From: Rachel Sargeant <rmns08@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2025 2:08 PM To: Planning Subject: [EXTERNAL] Public Comment at the 4-23-25 Planning Commission meeting Please read as a public comment at the 4-23-25 Planning Commission meeting. My name is Rachel Sargeant. I live at 812 Daniel St. 22401. I am writing about the Neighborhood COMMERCIAL Overlay District that is in the Small Area 5/Comprehensive Plan. It says, 'College Ave is a highly utilized pedestrian corridor and creates the opportunity for neighborhood-serving commercial uses through the conversation of residential buildings to COMMERCIAL uses". Please remove this statement out of the Plan. College Heights residents do NOT agree with it. 1. College Heights is a healthy, vibrant neighborhood. Neighborhood COMMERCIAL Overlay District is for neighborhoods that need revitalization. 2. This is a Top down decision. This statement did not come from College Heights members. 3. This statement was not verbally 'highlighted' in public presentations at Planning Commission or Council meetings. It is in small font at the bottom of a page. It is definitely controversial and affects entire neighborhoods in the city. 4. College Heights has a diversity of housing options: duplex, triplex, apts and a diversity of people, 18-24 yrs old UMW students. Protect our housing. Not sacrifice it to 'retail'. 5. College Heights has 'workforce housing'. College Ave must remain residences for teachers, firefighters, police, rescue, local govt employees, and our students and neighbors 6. City's crumbling Water/sewer pipes under College Ave can't support a commercial kitchen or toilets in the business 7. We College Heights residents won't sacrifice the essence of our community for the sake of the city's need for retail income. 8. Small 'retail' is struggling to make ends meet. Many are closing because they can't find the workers. Don't replace our homes with 'retail'. 1 9.This is not 'low impact' on our neighborhood. It opens the door to destruction of our neighborhood, by developers who will pick us apart with 'encroachment', making a 'killing' in their COMMERCIAL spaces. 10. Please Remove Neighborhood COMMERCIAL OVERLAY District from the Area 5 and Comp Plan. College Ave is not up for commercialization. Thank you for your consideration.
