(Applicant Request to Withdraw One (1) Parcel (1236 White Flat Road) from the Request) Request to rezone two parcels approximately 0.47 acres located at the intersection of Bowman Road and White Flat Road. One parcel is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, and is improved with an office that was converted from a single family residence. The other parcel is zoned PD, Planned Development District, and is vacant except for an off-site sign for the Watermark Development. The applicant wishes to rezone both parcels to OP, Office Professional District. Ms. Canon reviewed the request with the Committee. Mr. Chapman asked if the buffers meet Office Professional without taking away the porches. Ms. Cannon stated the buffers are based on the use and not the zoning, and so they would look at this use against an adjacent use, and without the porches it does not meet the buffer. If the porches were removed, it would meet the buffer. Those are the two encroachments at this point. Committee discussion. Mr. Chapman asked if this were to be approved, can it be approved with stipulations about the porches and about the parking being permeable surface. Ms. Cannon replied in the negative. Mr. Chapman stated that this is a better idea than we had before, and that the building improves the area, but he is concerned about getting closer to compliance by the owner. Mr. Chapman asked if the owner was present, and he asked Corporation Counsel if that was something they could ask the owner if they would be willing to do. Mr. Pagliarini stated it can be requested but it cannot be legally conditioned. Mr. Chapman stated that he is requesting it. Planning Committee March 2, 2020 Page 4 of 6 Mr. Trevor Cangelosi stated he is owner of the property along with his partner Jeff Ross, and he provided some background information and comments. Mr. Cangelosi stated that they are more than willing to comply with whatever the Town needs in terms of bringing this property into compliance with whatever is needed in terms of any variations that are needed, the porches. He said that they have been in communication with Corporation Counsel and with the Deputy Director of Planning about whatever they need them to do, and they are sorry about the miscommunication about this because this was absolutely never their intention. Mr. Chapman asked about permeable surface on the parking lot, not gravel. Mr. Cangelosi stated that the entire parking lot that they own now is on the corner and it is entirely grass. He said they are happy to do whatever the Town wants in terms of making that a proper parking lot. Mr. Chapman reiterated that they cannot require them to do so; he is asking about some type of a nice permeable surface other than gravel. Mr. Cangelosi stated that he is happy to. Ms. Whitley reiterated that this is not something that we can legally require of the property owner. Mr. Chapman stated that he understands that. Mr. Chapman moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the request. Ms. Corley seconded the motion. All in favor. c. Zoning Code Text Amendment: Impervious Surface definition. Proposal to amend Zoning Code Section 156.007, Definitions, pertaining to the definition of Impervious Surface. Proposed changes include revised language clarifying the definition of Impervious Surface as it relates to administering limitations on overhangs, building eaves, and the like.
