Village Center (VC) Zoning District Overview 2.* Appointments * Proposed Items for Closed AGENDA: August 7, 2024, Work Session ITEM: Staff Report: Village Center (VC) Zoning District Overview Staff will present an overview of the Village Center (VC) Zoning District and outline recommendations related to modifications City Council may consider to address potential adverse impacts to neighborhoods and existing properties within the zoning district throughout the City. Attached, please find a report outlining the issues and staff recommendations. STAFF REPORT DESCRIPTION REPORT ON THE VILLAGE CENTER (VC) ZONING DISTRICT: At your February 7, 2024 meeting, City Council directed staff to evaluate the Village Center Zoning District setbacks and any resulting adverse impacts the setbacks may have to abutting properties or neighborhood character report back findings. Staff has reviewed the setbacks in the district, of which analysis is provided below. STAFF ANALYSIS ISSUE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS As outlined within the Unified Development Ordinance, the VC district provides a mix of concentrated downtown civic, retail, service, office and residential uses in the traditional town centers of Holland and Whaleyville, as well as other traditional centers throughout the City. Urban design standards have been established to protect property values, to maintain a rural village scale, to promote pedestrian activity and to preserve the unique character of these areas. Pedestrian circulation and common parking areas are encouraged. Currently, the VC zoning district does not have a minimum front yard or minimum side yard setback requirement. This closely aligns with the Central Business District (CBD) that is found in the City’s downtown core. The absence of setback requirements for side and rear yards in the VC district is aimed to preserve traditional village and town design while offering a pedestrian friendly environment at a more urban scale with respect to the rural settings surrounding these communities. Another dimensional requirement contained in the zoning ordinance that aims to achieve this a more urban-like environment, is the relatively small minimum lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet. This area aligns with the size of many of the lots already platted in our village centers; however, is far less than the minimum lot standards found within the City’s traditional single family zoning districts (not including the smaller lots sized permitted through utilization of the cluster pattern). While the absence of setbacks in these areas may benefit the variety of commercial uses that are permitted in the Village Center zoning district, the absence of side setbacks for single family residential in the district does not necessarily align with the development patterns established within these areas for new residential development. One approach that could be implemented to address this issue would be creating a minimum front and side setback for residential development in the VC. Under this approach, residential development in the VC district would have a minimum 20 foot front setback, a minimum 7.5 foot side setback, and a minimum 10 foot rear setback. Another concern expressed has been the scale of newly built structures. It is perceived that the newly built structures are out of scale with the existing structures. Currently, the VC zoning City Council August 7, 2024 VC Staff Report Page 2 of 3 district has a maximum building height of 45 feet and no maximum impervious surface ratio. This allows for relatively large structures to be built within the district. Many of the older, existing structures are one story in height and are modest in their footprint on the lots. The potential changes could also include a maximum building height of 35 feet and a maximum impervious cover ratio of 50 percent. The building code requires positive drainage away from the foundation of newly constructed buildings. Often, these in-fill lots are raised in order to meet these requirements. This occasionally results in drainage impacts to adjacent property. Having additional setbacks and a maximum impervious surface ratio could help reduce these impacts. Here’s what the dimensional table currently looks like (with the CBD and RC zoning districts added for comparison). Current Min Frontage Impervious Max Building Min Lot Size Max Density Floor Area Min Lot Max Lot Min Front Max Front Min Side Min Rear Ratio Surface Ratio Height Setback Setback Width Width Setback Setback Zoning District CBD — 40 6 — — — — — — 20 — — VC 5,000 8 2 — — — — 45 — 30 — — RC 6,000 7.3 0.35 0.5 30 60 100 45 20 35 5 10 Here’s what the dimensional table might look like for the VC zoning district with the proposed changes.

Currently, septic systems are not required to meet any zoning setbacks. Their location on the lot is determined by the property owner in conjunction with the Health Department. In some areas, mound systems are being utilized as part of the septic system. These systems feature an engineered drain field for treating wastewater and are an alternative to the traditional septic system drain field. They are used in areas where traditional septic systems are prone to failure from extremely permeable or impermeable soils, soil with the shallow cover over porous bedrock, and terrain that features a high water table. These systems tend to be much more visible and can be more obtrusive than City Council August 7, 2024 VC Staff Report Page 3 of 3 traditional septic systems. An additional change that could be implemented to mitigate these impacts would be to require these systems to be set back from any structures a minimum of 10 feet and to meet the required zoning setbacks along the property lines; however, this may not be feasible due to the functional requirements. This issue will need further research. FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS One of the proposed recommended actions in the Suffolk2045 Comprehensive Plan is to update the village initiative plans which were initially done about 20 years ago. An update of these plans will provide additional guidance for mechanisms that could be utilized to preserve the unique character of these areas. These areas could be enhanced with the creation of a culturally significant area design overlay for each area which could be implemented to conserve and protect these areas. This may involve looking at each village uniquely and creating zoning that works for each one separately. NEXT STEPS Should Council wish to act on modifications discussed, they may direct staff to work with the Committee on Ordinances to create some amendments to the zoning requirements in the VC zoning districts for consideration by Planning Commission and City Council. Once the Suffolk2045 Comprehensive Plan, is adopted, staff can begin the process of updating the village initiative plans. SUFFOLK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA August 7, 2024 6:00 p.m. City Council Chamber 1.

READ AND PASSED: TESTE: Erika S. Dawley, City Clerk Approved as to Fonn: William E. Hutchings Jr., City Attorney U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND I RBAN DEVELOPMENT = ■» J WASHINGTON, DC 20410-7000 PRINCIPAL DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT May 18,2024 The Honorable Mike Duman Mayor of Suffolk 442 W Washington Street 1st Floor Suffolk, VA 23434 Dear Mayor Duman: Congratulations! 1 am pleased to give you formal notice of your jurisdiction’s Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) allocations for the Office of Community Planning and Development’s (CPD) formula programs. Your jurisdiction’s FY24 available amounts are as follows: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $519,451.00 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) $380,721.63 These grant funds provide the financial tools to support low-to-moderate income individuals, families, and communities to address homelessness, affordable housing challenges, aging infrastructure, and economic hardships. CPD is committed to being your partner throughout the process of using these funds. Our local office will assist in finalizing grant agreements, offer technical assistance, training when needed, monitor and implement grant funds for eligible projects in a timely manner. The Department of Housing and Urban Development will work with your team to ensure proper reporting in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System to improve performance data on how these programs are benefitting and touching people’s lives, build trust with stakeholder groups, Congress, and amplify the success stories that you and your jurisdiction are able to accomplish with these vital resources. In addition, you also have $2,597,255 in available Section 108 borrowing authority based on your CDBG allocation and outstanding Section 108 balances as of May 14, 2024. Since Section 108 loans are federally guaranteed, this allows your jurisdiction to boiTow up to five times of your current CDBG allocation to access loan capital for larger projects at a low interest rate. HUD encourages you to consider using this CDBG multiplier for high priority housing projects, such as housing rehabilitation and conversion of nonresidential properties to residential uses and mixed-use development. This could help fill gaps left by Congress’ cut to the HOME program for FY24. As you begin to plan for the use of FY24 grant funding, please also consider having strategic conversations with your local team to ensure that existing grants are being maximized to meet your local priorities and community needs. A few questions that you might consider asking: www.hud.gov cspanol.hud.gov 2 ● What were our goals in our most recent Consolidated Plan? How did our commitments in FY23 and previous Action Plans support those goals? ● Do we have any expiring funds? Are there plans to use our funding from past years before the end of the period of performance? ● What, if any, findings have HUD / the Office of Inspector General made against our jurisdiction in the last five years? What have we done to address those findings? The combination of higher mortgage interest rates, limited for-sale housing inventory, and high home prices has created a challenging environment for homebuyers ~ particularly low- income families seeking to purchase their first home. In preparing the annual action plan for your jurisdiction’s CPD formula funds, we urge you to consider how your HOME Program and other funds may be used to increase the supply of modestly priced housing or provide direct purchase assistance to low-income families seeking to buy a home. The timely expenditure of your previous year funds is critical to mitigate risks of recapture. If your community’s priorities have changed, you have an opportunity to repurpose funding. Our team can work with you to ensure that funds are fully utilized and reach the populations intended by these programs. Please contact our Field Office to learn more. The Department greatly appreciates your leadership in using these funds to address your most pressing local needs by increasing access to affordable housing, supporting renters and homeowners, providing life-saving assistance to people experiencing homelessness, creating jobs and opportunities for people with modest means, improving public facilities, community resilience, and public services. If you or any member of your staff have questions or would like to request technical assistance, please contact your local CPD Field Director.
