The development consists of 24 commercial and industrial use buildings, associated parking, loading, and infrastructure, and a series of public roads including a roadway connection between Swift Street Extension and Hinesburg Road. The buildings are proposed to total approximately 767,000 s.f. in size and range in height from 1-2 stories. The applicant is proposing 1,970 parking space, and associated loading and circulation areas. The application is subject to Interim Zoning because it involves subdivision of land, a new Planned Unit Development (PUD), and new principal building submitted after October 25, 2018 in an area not exempted from the Interim Zoning bylaw. The application was submitted on October 14, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the Planning Commission warned a public hearing on a series of amendments to the Land Development Regulations. The Commission held its public hearing October 26th, and on November 2nd approved a set of draft amendments for submittal to the City Council. Below is a brief assessment of the application’s relationship to the City’s adopted Official Map, to the draft Land Development Regulations being prepared as outlined in to the Interim Bylaw, and to the review criteria established under 24 VSA 4464. City Official Map The City’s Official Map includes two planned facilities on this parcel: •A planned recreation path and associated 20’ wide right-of-way connecting Swift Street Extension to Hinesburg Road. This planned infrastructure was adopted in September 2021 by the City Council as a change from a previously-planned roadway. The applicant has proposed a roadway and recreation path connection within a 66’ right-of-way. •An access ramp to a planned I-89 Interchange. This planned access ramp is shown on the plan. 2 Draft Land Development Regulations Note: The following is not a complete assessment of the proposed application in accordance with the draft Land Development Regulations approved; it identifies key highlights: •Natural Resources. o Habitat Blocks. The draft Regulations establish a series of Habitat Blocks, wherein development is generally prohibited. The proposed Habitat Block Overlay District includes a portion of the subject parcel. The applicant has not shown indicated these Habitat Blocks on their submission, however it is apparent that the proposed development includes several buildings and associated infrastructure within the draft Habitat Block Overlay District. o Wetlands. The applicant has identified a series of Class II wetlands on the site. The applicant did not indicate whether these were field-delineated or drawn from mapping data. The applicant has indicated a 50’ buffer from these wetlands. The draft regulations require a minimum of a 100’ buffer. There appears to be parking, loading, infrastructure, and possibly buildings within this 100’ buffer. The applicant has not indicated whether any Class III wetlands are present on the site. Both the current and draft regulations regulate Class III wetlands and their buffers. o Floodplains. The applicant has indicated an area 100-year floodplain the property. The applicant has not shown 500-year floodplain areas, however, which are indicated in state mapping and are regulated under the draft Regulations. It is not clear whether these 500-year floodplain areas would be impacted by the proposed plan. •Allows Uses, Zoning, Planned Unit Development Type, and Building Types. o The draft regulations re-zone the entirety of the parcel from its current designation, “Industrial & Open Space,” to “Residential 7-Neighborhood Commercial.” Industrial uses are not permitted in the R7-NC District. The applicant is proposing “commercial and industrial buildings.” o The draft regulations require development on parcels exceeding 4 acres in size within the R7-NC district to be a Traditional Neighborhood Planned Unit Development. The Traditional Neighborhood PUD requires a mix of land allocations, with a minimum of 65% of buildable area to be assigned to residential uses, 15% to be civic space, and 10% to be mixed use or commercial. Building types associated with this PUD type include single family homes, duplexes, town homes, small multi-family buildings, and in certain instances, mid-sized multi-family buildings. The applicant is proposing “commercial and industrial buildings” ranging in size from 17,500 s.f. footprint to 66,000 s.f. footprint. Statutory Review Criteria The applicant has provided brief responses to the four statutory evaluation criteria. •Specific to the capacity of existing or planned community facilities, services, or land, the applicant has not provided an estimate of vehicle trips, water usage, wastewater usage, a description of the intended uses beyond “commercial and industrial”, nor a phasing plan in order to provide an evaluation of the capacity of existing or planned community facilities. The application erroneously references a planned street connection to Swift Street Extension; as noted above, the planned street was replaced by a planned recreation path in September 2021, following public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council. Recommended Action Staff recommends the Council open, hold, and close the public hearing, and render a decision on the application thereafter.

The City has “sought to encourage commercial development and construction of affordable housing”. However, the pace of residential development has outstripped the planning tools and processes intended to ensure sustainabilityand encourage affordability. As stated in the Interim Bylaws, commercial andindustrial development has been encouraged by the City and has not lead to theongoing strain on City resources. b) How the proposed project is consistent with studies being conducted, draft bylaws or bylaw amendments, and/or any draft comprehensive plan or comprehensive plan amendments under consideration.

The project will construct the new City street as shown on the City of South Burlington Official Map connecting Swift Street to Hinesburg Road. (ii) The existing patterns and uses of development in the area;The proposed development is consistent with the pattern of existing commercial and industrial buildings located south of Interstate 89 and east of HinesburgRoad. The continuation of this commercial and industrial development to thewest of Hinesburg Road is a logical extension of the current patterns that isconsistent with the current Land Development Regulations and the future construction of I-89 Exit 12B. (iii) Environmental limitations of the site or area and significant natural resource areas and sites; and, The proposed site layout avoids disturbance within class 2 wetlands, class 2 wetland buffers, and stream buffers. The majority of the property is open. No known irreplaceable natural areas, critical wildlife habitat, or endangered speciesarea located on the project parcel. While a portion of a wooded habitat block islocated on the westerly portion of the project parcel, the habitat block is limited insize (95 acres) and isolated by the Interstate and mixed-use development to the north, and residential development and a golf course to the south. (iv) Municipal plans and other municipal bylaws, ordinances, or regulations in effect.The proposed commercial and industrial development is consistent with the current Land Development Regulations, Official Map, and Comprehensive Plan. No development is proposed in the special flood hazard area mapped at the northwest corner of the project parcel. 180 Market Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.s bvt.gov MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington City Council Jessie Baker, City Manager FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning, on behalf of the Planning Commission SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to the Land Development Regulations DATE: November 8, 2021 City Council Meeting The Planning Commission is pleased to deliver to the City Council a series of proposed amendments to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). “Clean” and a “redline marked-up” versions of the Draft LDRs are posted to the project webpage.
