The amendment consists of converting the 84 room hotel to a 78 unit multi‐ family building, 1720 Shelburne Road. The Board reviewed the application on January 5, 2021 and continued the hearing to address two issues and also because the applicant failed to fully meet public noticing requirements for the January 5 hearing. Public notice requirements have been addressed and the Board should allow an opportunity for public comment on all aspects of the application after discussing the outstanding issues described below. Landscaping It was noted on 1/5 that the applicant’s plans did not show all of the previously approved landscaping. The most recent approval for the property was in 2017, when the applicant received approval for a small building expansion. The approved plans at that time showed existing previously‐approved landscaping and additional required landscaping based on the value of the approved building expansion. The building expansion was only partially constructed, which would reduce the amount of required landscaping. Because it would be complex to compute the reduced required value, and because the applicant is proposing additional landscaping anyway to provide an amenity area for this project, the applicant has proposed that the new proposed landscaping be allowed to compensate for the portion of the previously‐required landscaping which was not installed in 2017. The value of the new landscaping is greater than the value of the previously required additional landscaping, and as noted only a portion of it would actually be required, therefore Staff considers this approach to be acceptable. In terms of existing previously‐required landscaping, the applicant has indicated that the plantings which are presently on the site match those approved in 2017 with the exception of two hemlocks near the front of the Holiday Inn Express building (the building west of the building proposed for conversion). They have updated their plans to show that these hemlocks are proposed to be replaced with three serviceberry trees in the same location. Staff recommends the Board accept the revised landscaping plan and require a bond for the provided $6,500 in trees and shrubs in accordance with the bonding procedures of LDR 15.15B. Staff is recommending a bond because a portion of the proposed landscaping is to compensate for previously‐required landscaping. All landscaping shown on the plan will be required to be present prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. #SD‐21‐01 2 Bicycle Parking It was noted on 1/5 that the approved PUD needed to be brought into compliance with current bicycle parking standards. The following table of required bicycle parking was provided. Staff has added the required bicycle parking for the subject multi‐family conversion. Building Description Estimated Square Footage Required Bicycle Parking 121 Room Hotel 3 stories at 21,600 sf each 13 spaces 60 Room Hotel 4 stories at 12,300 sf each 10 spaces Restaurant 2 stories at 5,800 sf each 4 spaces (based on minimum requirement for restaurant use) 3 Unit Multifamily Building N/A No minimum for buildings with 3 or fewer units 78 Unit multifamily building (proposed) N/A 8 spaces The applicant has updated their plans to show the required number of racks, to be located on a combination of paved and grass surfaces and distributed between building entrances. 13.14B(2)(d) requires that racks be located on a hard stabilized surface at least 6‐ft in width and of sufficient length to satisfy the remainder of the dimensional requirements. Staff recommends the Board require as a condition of approval that the applicant update their plan to show all racks on stabilized surfaces as required, and, in the interest of closing the hearing, discuss with the applicant what sort of stabilization they prefer to be required. Staff considers a poured concrete pad, pervious pavers, or a gravel pad with appropriate subbase and edging would all be appropriate, as may other options.

The applicant is proposing as part of a separate administrative site plan to add an elevator tower but this rooftop appurtenance does not count towards maximum allowable height. B) COMMERCIAL 2 ZONING DISTRICT STANDARDS – Not applicable C) SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS 14.6 General Review Standards Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: A. Relationship of Proposed Development to the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Due attention by the applicant should be given to the goals and objectives and the stated land use policies for the City of South Burlington as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The Project is located in the southwest quadrant. Objectives of the southwest quadrant include objective #54, promote higher‐density, mixed use development and redevelopment along Shelburne Road and foster effective transitions to adjacent residential areas. The project supports this objective and does not detract from the other objectives. The Board finds this criterion met. B. Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site. (1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and adequate parking areas. The transitions between structure and site and structure to structure are outside the scope of this review since no exterior improvements are proposed. There are sidewalks within the existing PUD. The applicant has provided a pedestrian walkway from near the main entrance of the subject building to Harbor View Road. Landscaping is discussed under 14.07D below. Parking is required at a rate of 0.75 spaces per dwelling unit plus 0.75 spaces per 4 units for studio #SD‐21‐01 3 3 of 8 or one bedroom units, and at a rate of 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit plus 0.75 spaces per 4 units for units with two or greater bedrooms. The applicant is proposing 70 one‐bedroom units and eight two‐bedroom units, requiring 80 parking spaces. There is no required minimum parking for the remainder of the uses in the PUD. For a sense of scale, there are approximately 12 parking spaces in each row of parking located in front of the building proposed for conversion. The Board finds this criterion met. (2) Parking: (a) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. Any side of a building facing a public street shall be considered a front side of a building for the purposes of this subsection. This criterion is unaffected by this application. (3) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or anticipated adjoining buildings. This criterion is unaffected by this application. 14.07 Specific Review Standards In all Zoning Districts and the City Center Form Based Codes District, the following standards shall apply: A. Access to Abutting Properties. The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial or collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area. This PUD connects Shelburne Road to Harbor View Road. The Board finds no additional land is needed to support access to abutting properties. B. Utility Services. Electric, telephone and other wire‐served utility lines and service connections shall be underground insofar as feasible and subject to state public utilities regulations. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site. Standards of Section 15.13, Utility Services, shall also be met. Utility services are underground. No changes are proposed. This criterion is met. C. Disposal of Wastes. All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any recycling, composting, or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s). Small receptacles intended for use by households or the public (ie, non‐dumpster, non‐large drum) shall not be required to be fenced or screened. The applicant is proposing for residents to use the existing enclosed dumpster to the west of the building. The Board finds this criterion met. D. Landscaping and Screening Requirements. See Article 13, Section 13.06 Landscaping, Screening, and Street Trees. The most recent approval for the property was in 2017, when the applicant received approval for a small building expansion. The approved plans at that time showed existing previously‐approved landscaping and additional required landscaping based on the value of the approved building expansion. The building expansion was only partially constructed, which would reduce the amount of required landscaping. Because it would be complex to compute the reduced required value, and because the applicant is proposing additional landscaping anyway to provide an amenity area for this project, the #SD‐21‐01 4 4 of 8 applicant has proposed that the new proposed landscaping be allowed to compensate for the portion of the previously‐required landscaping which was not installed in 2017. The value of the new landscaping is greater than the value of the previously required additional landscaping, and as noted only a portion of it would actually be required, therefore the Board finds this approach to be acceptable. In terms of existing previously‐required landscaping, the applicant has indicated that the plantings which are presently on the site match those approved in 2017 with the exception of two hemlocks near the front of the Holiday Inn Express building (the building west of the building proposed for conversion). They have updated their plans to show that these hemlocks are proposed to be replaced with three serviceberry trees in the same location. The Board finds the applicant must provide a bond for the provided $6,500 in trees and shrubs in accordance with the bonding procedures of LDR 15.15B. A bond is required because a portion of the proposed landscaping is to compensate for previously‐required landscaping. All landscaping shown on the plan will be required to be present prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. E. Modification of Standards. Except within the City Center Form Based Code District, where the limitations of a site may cause unusual hardship in complying with any of the standards above and waiver therefrom will not endanger the public health, safety or welfare, the Development Review Board may modify such standards as long as the general objectives of Article 14 and the City's Comprehensive Plan are met. However, in no case shall the DRB permit the location of a new structure less than five (5) feet from any property boundary and in no case shall be the DRB allow land development creating a total site coverage exceeding the allowable limit for the applicable zoning district in the case of new development, or increasing the coverage on sites where the pre‐existing condition exceeds the applicable limit. No modification of standards is necessary. F Low Impact Development. The use of low impact site design strategies that minimize site disturbance, and that integrate structures, landscaping, natural hydrologic functions, and various other techniques to minimize runoff from impervious surfaces and to infiltrate precipitation into underlying soils and groundwater as close as is reasonable practicable to where it hits the ground, is required pursuant to the standards contained within Article 12. The City Stormwater Section reviewed the plans on 12/22/2020 and offers the following comments. The Stormwater Section has reviewed the “Larkin Comfort Suites” site plan prepared by Krebs & Lansing Consulting Engineers, dated 11/23/2020. We would like to offer the following comments: 1. This project is located in the Bartlett Brook watershed. This watershed is listed as stormwater impaired by the State of Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). 2. A Wetland Advisory area is shown on the VT ANR Natural Resource Atlas. It is recommended that the applicant contact the State Wetlands Division to confirm that the proposed mowed path is an allowable use in the wetland buffer. 3. This parcel is listed as a site required to comply with the new 3‐9050 permit for having greater than 3 acres of impervious surface. 4. Applicant is requested to show all impacts to the site including the Limits of Disturbance and any potential changes being proposed to impervious surfaces. Applicant is requested to show all pertinent EPSC measures required for the proposed construction on plan set. 5. It is recommended that the DRB include a condition requiring the applicant to regularly maintain all stormwater treatment and conveyance infrastructure. The applicant provided a 2019 wetland delineation showing that there are no wetland or buffer impacts. The site plan revision submitted on 1/12/2021 shows limits of disturbance. The Board #SD‐21‐01 5 5 of 8 finds the applicant is required to contain all construction activities within the shown limit of disturbance, including construction lay‐down areas. G. Standards for Roadways, Parking and Circulation. Standards of Section 15.12 Standards for Roadways, Parking, and Circulation shall be met. Compliance with this criterion is unaffected by this application. D) PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Section 15.18A of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general standards for all PUDs. (1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirements, as evidenced by a City water allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater Permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation. The applicant obtained preliminary water and wastewater allocation in October 2020. The Board finds the applicant must obtain final allocations prior to issuance of a zoning permit. (2) Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during construction and after construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the DRB may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for Construction issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. As noted above pertaining to low impact development, the applicant should provide a limit of disturbance on the plans and show relevant EPSC measures. The Board finds the applicant must comply with the erosion prevention and sediment control standards of Article 16. (3) The project incorporates access, circulation and traffic management strategies sufficient to prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads. In making this finding the DRB may rely on the findings of a traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or consultants. Compliance with this criterion is unaffected by this application. (4) The project’s design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on the site. In making this finding the DRB shall utilize the provisions of Article 12 of these Regulations related to wetlands and stream buffers, and may seek comment from the Natural Resources Committee with respect to the project’s impact on natural resources. Wetland impacts are discussed above pertaining to low impact development. (5) The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in which it is located. Compliance with this criterion is unaffected by this application. (6) Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas. #SD‐21‐01 6 6 of 8 The applicant is proposing to enhance the open space east of the building by establishing it as a lawn area with boulders for seating. The Board finds this criterion met. (7) The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire protection can be provided, with the standards for approval including, but not be limited to, minimum distance between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where possible, looping of water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants. All aspects of fire protection systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with applicable codes in all areas served by municipal water. The Fire Chief’s comments pertained to the interior of the building. The Board finds this criterion met. (8) Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to adjacent properties. (9) Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council. No changes to roads, recreation paths, lighting, or sidewalks are proposed. Stormwater facilities, landscaping and utility lines are discussed elsewhere in this document. The Board finds these criteria met. (10) The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the affected district(s). A discussion of consistency with Comprehensive Plan is provided under site plan review standards above. (11) The project’s design incorporates strategies that minimize site disturbance and integrate structures, landscaping, natural hydrologic functions, and other techniques to generate less runoff from developed land and to infiltrate rainfall into underlying soils and groundwater as close as possible to where it hits the ground. See discussion above under Site Plan Review standard pertaining to Low Impact Development. E) TRAFFIC OVERLAY DISTRICT The project is proposing to generate five (5) additional vehicle trips. F) OTHER 13.14 Bicycle Parking and Storage For the 78 unit building, the applicant is required to provide 8 bicycle parking spaces. The applicant is also required to bring the remainder of the PUD into compliance with short‐term bicycle parking. Bicycle parking standards for the remainder of the uses are based on building square footage. Estimates of building areas in the below table are based on the provided plans. Building Description Estimated Square Footage Required Bicycle Parking 121 Room Hotel 3 stories at 21,600 sf each 13 spaces #SD‐21‐01 7 7 of 8 60 Room Hotel 4 stories at 12,300 sf each 10 spaces Restaurant 2 stories at 5,800 sf each 4 spaces (based on minimum requirement for restaurant use) 3 Unit Multifamily Building N/A No minimum for buildings with 3 or fewer units 78 Unit multifamily building (proposed) N/A 8 spaces The applicant has updated their plans to show the required number of racks, to be located on a combination of paved and grass surfaces and distributed between building entrances. 13.14B(2)(d) requires that racks be located on a hard stabilized surface at least 6‐ft in width and of sufficient length to satisfy the remainder of the dimensional requirements. The Board finds the applicant must modify their plans to show all bike racks on _____, as discussed at the hearing on 1/20/2021.
