ANNEXATION/PUD
STAFF REPORT
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
April 6, 2020
TMS#s: 130-00-00-004, 005, 006, 019, 020, 033, 034, 036 and 730-00-00-036
Location: N. Maple Street, Labyrinth Lane, and Old Dairy Road
Description: 9 parcels, approximately 250 acres
Request: Annexation and zoning to PUD
The property owner is requesting for the above referenced parcels to be annexed into the Town
from Dorchester and Berkeley County. The existing zoning in Dorchester County is R-4, Multi-
Family Residential, and in Berkeley County is Flex1, Agricultural.
This property is included in the Town’s ‘Employment Growth’ District within the Town’s 2009-
2011 Comprehensive Plan and Update as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map,
and it also falls under a Commercial Activity Node. The area also falls just outside of the Sheep
Island focus area in the 2014 Vision Plan appended to the Comprehensive Plan. That plan
proposes a mix of uses, including single-family (detached and attached) residential, multi-family
residential, and commercial uses. The proposed PUD would allow for a maximum of 400 single-
family detached units, 100 accessory dwelling units, 125 single-family attached (townhomes)
units, and at least 51 acres of neighborhood commercial uses.
The PUD is primarily following the Neighborhood Mixed-Use (N-MX) standards found in the
UDO, with a few exceptions. There are a few commercial uses allowed in the PUD that would
not be allowed in the N-MX zoning district, such as convention centers, gas stations (with no
more than 8 fuel pumps), bars, and liquor stores. Given the proximity to the interstate and the
planned widening of N. Maple Street in the near future, staff does not object to these additional
commercial uses. One thing that the PUD does provide that the N-MX zoning would not is the
guarantee that a certain amount of the development will be devoted to commercial uses. The
main exception to the UDO for the single-family residential portion of the development is the
ability to have homes/townhomes with front-loaded attached garages and the associated driveway
access. With the smaller lots as is planned, staff was concerned that this would negatively impact
the main residential roads in the development. After discussions with the developer to consider
only allowing a certain percentage of front-loaded attached garages and not allowing driveway
access on the main entry roads, the developer has proposed that only 50% of the single family
residential on the two main roads off of Old Dairy Road be allowed to be front-loaded. All
exceptions to the design guidelines (Chapter 4 of the UDO) that were previously included in the
PUD request have been removed after discussions with staff and the Planning Commission.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is being finalized, per the Town’s UDO requirements. The TIA
was conducted in coordination with the proposed annexation/development on the Rosemary
properties just to the northeast. The TIA provides the required roadway improvements at the
developer’s expense that will be necessary to handle the increased traffic from this development.
Updates to the TIA will be required if any land uses or intensities change as the project is
developed.
An Economic Impact Analysis was also completed for the development. The analysis uses
conservative estimates for home ($325,000) and townhome ($225,000) values. Based on these
values and the inclusion of 318,000 square feet of mixed commercial (the conceptual plan shows
400,000 sf), the proposed development will provide a net gain to the Town over a 20 year
timeframe.
Based on the revisions that were made to the PUD following the Planning Commission meeting
and the information in the economic impact analysis, staff would recommend approval of this
annexation and PUD. Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval at
their meeting on March 16, 2020.
