The roll was called by Mr. Goumas and the Chairman was informed that a quorum was present. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, RZ11-16, (Conditional), Golden Peanut Company, LLC: submitted by Tom Dickey, agent(s), on the behalf of Golden Peanut Company, LLC, property owner(s), to rezone and amend the official zoning map of the City of 1 Suffolk to change the zoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, to MUC-40, Mixed Use Core-40 zoning district, for property located at 273 South Saratoga Street, Zoning Map 34G23(A), Parcel(s) 114*115*116. The affected area is further identified as being located in the Whaleyville Voting Borough, zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district. The 2035 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as part of the Central Growth Area, Core Support Use District. The first item of business was introduced by the Chairman followed by a staff report presented by Kevin Wyne, Principal Planner. Mr. Wyne stated that this application is to request a change in zoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to MUC-40, Mixed Use Core 40 in support of a proposed 233 apartment dwellings. The applicant has stated that they intend to only construct 233 units; however, would like the flexibility to construct up to 300 units. The zoning district proposed on the subject parcel appears to be appropriate for a location within the Core Support Use District, which envisions higher density residential, commercial, and mixed use development in the core areas of the City. The current zoning would only permit heavy industrial use. The requested change in zoning is consistent with the policies of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. The proposal, which consists of the redevelopment of a former industrial site, will create a housing product of need in the City and specifically in an area that encourages high density development due to the proximity of the City’s downtown area. The redevelopment of the site will utilize the Historic Tax Credit Program. The proposed development conforms to the objectives of the district as it will adaptively re-use a 2 historic property in close proximity to the downtown area to create a mixed use development with a primary multi-family component. The proposed density and location are consistent with the development principles established within the MUC-40 district. The development will feed into Hillpoint Elementary, Forest Glen Middle and Lakeland High Schools. Based on UDO Section 31-601, there is adequate space in all of these schools. The site has access to available water and sewer lines that serve the area. The Department of Public Utilities reviewed the Public Facilities Report and determined the site will have adequate levels of service for water and sanitary sewer, thus they have no objections. The Public Facilities Report provided by the applicant indicated that this project will address applicable stormwater management requirements through a combination of Low Impact Development practices, which may include underground detention, pervious pavers and bio‐retention in the vicinity of the proposed parking area located in the northeast of site and additional bio‐retention in the southern portion of the site. The applicant also proposed to decrease the overall impervious surface on the site. The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Assessment in support of their application. The TIA based its modelling on the creation of 300 apartment units served by four (4) full access site entrances. Two (2) entrances will be on South Saratoga Street with the remaining two (2) entrances on Wellons Street. The study states that no improvements are required or recommended 3 at any of the existing study intersections or site driveways to accommodate the traffic generated by the project. This has been verified and approved by Traffic Engineering, as the TIA has been accepted and approved. In support of the request, the developer provided the City with a Fiscal Impact Statement which serves to project potential costs and revenues the City can expect to be generated by the development proposal. The study stated that the development will generate a net of $1.8 million over a 10 year period. In summary, staff found that the proposal is consistent with the provisions of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and the UDO, and that the existing public facilities are adequate to meet the additional demands generated by the proposed change in zoning. Staff recommended approval of this application. The public hearing was opened and speaking in favor of this application was Tom Dickey, The Monument Companies. There being no speakers in opposition, the public hearing was closed. After discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Singleton made a motion to approve this application, seconded by Commissioner Edwards and passed by a recorded vote of 7 to 0. REZONING REQUEST, RZ14-16, Subdivision of Childress Property, submitted by C. Raeford Eure, L.S., Hoggard-Eure Associates, P.C., agent(s), on the behalf of John Napolitano, Napolitano Homes, applicant(s), on the behalf of WOV Properties, LLC, property owner(s), to rezone and amend the official zoning map of the City of Suffolk to change the zoning from PD, Planned Development zoning district, to RU, 4  MT: Singleton MT: Rountree MT: Hicks MT: PLANNING COMMISSION 2ND: Edwards 2ND: Edwards 2ND: Staylor 2ND: MEETING TO: Approve TO: Approve TO: Approve TO: December 20, 2016 w/conditions VOTE: 7-0 VOTE: 6-0-1 VOTE: 7-0 VOTE: RZ11-16 RZ14-16 C13-16 PRESENT ABSENT YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO X X X X Benton, Howard C.
