South Burlington City Council Meeting Participation Guidelines City Council meetings are the only time we have to discuss and decide on City matters. We want to be as open and informal as possible; but Council meetings are not town meetings. In an effort to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, we kindly request your cooperation and compliance with the following guidelines. 1. Please be respectful of each other (Council members, staff, and the public). 2. Please raise your hand to be recognized by the Chair. Once recognized please state your name and address. 3. Please address the Chair and not other members of the public, staff, or presenters. 4. Please abide by any time limits that have been set. Time limits will be used to insure everyone is heard and there is sufficient time for the Council to conduct all the business on the agenda. 5. The Chair will make a reasonable effort to allow everyone to speak once before speakers address the Council a second time. 6. The Chair may ask that discussion be limited to the Councilors once the public input has been heard. 7. Please do not interrupt when others are speaking. 8. Please do not repeat the points made by others, except to briefly say whether you agree or disagree with others views. 9. Please use the outside hallway for side conversations. It is difficult to hear speaker remarks when there are other conversations occurring. Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase. No Claim to Original Government Works. South Burlington Water Dept.

Whereas, the concept of the Recreation and Leisure Arts Committee was initiated by City Council as a support  committee to the Department of Recreation and Parks; and,  Whereas, the committee was approved by members of the City Council; and  Whereas, this committee would like to change its name to be in keeping with the department name and mission of  providing recreation and parks opportunities to the community ; and,  Whereas, this committee was established in 1970; and,

SOUTH BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL    ________________________  ________________________     Helen Riehle, Chair    Pat Nowak    ________________________  ________________________  Meaghan Emery, Vice Chair  Tim Barritt    ________________________  Tom Chittenden  Excerpt from Minutes of 11/17/14 SB City Council meeting:    7. Receive and possibly take action on the report and resolution presented by the Affordable  Housing Trust Fund Feasibility Committee:    Ms. Dooley recognized the input of the City Manager and Deputy City Manager and of committee  members.    Ms. Dooley noted that many people are paying 30% to 50% of their income for housing, which is not a  healthy situation.  To address this, the committee recommends that the City Council establish a South  Burlington Housing Trust Fund and to begin funding it with $200,000 from the general fund budget.   They also recommend adding ½ % to the Rooms & Meals local option tax.    Ms. Dooley noted that housing creates jobs in a community; it provides children for the schools; adds to  sales and property tax revenues, and promotes public health.    Mr. Michaels noted that they have 50 people on the waiting list at Country Park.  He added that  affordable housing allows people to move into and stay in the city and allows employees in service  positions to live in the city where they work.    Mr. Monte of Champlain Housing Trust explained that residences created under the trust pay taxes,  provide employment (architects, contractors, etc.), etc.  He noted that typically tax payments are higher  per acre because of increased density.  He felt $200,000 would be a great start.  He then explained other  funding mechanisms (e.g., tax credits, private financing, state funding, etc.) that would go into the  building of affordable housing.    Mr. Simson asked if there is a potential for the money to be needed in the next 18 months.  Mr. Monte  said there is.  They have been talking with a landowner in City Center area and with Cathedral Square as  well.  South Burlington is at the top of their list.    Mr. Monte also noted that all housing projects go through the city’s regulatory process (DRB, etc.) and  state, federal, archaeological reviews as well.  Most of their properties meet or exceed state standards  for energy efficiency as well.    Ms. Riehle asked if the housing would be permanently affordable.  Mr. Monte said they would.    Ms. Nowak noted the original recommendation of $40,000 has now grown to $200,000.  Ms. Dooley said  they want to start with a significant amount.  Mr. Simson noted they originally had a 3‐tier plan which,  after discussion with the City Manager, became a 2‐tier plan.  They also learned about a potential “right  away project” and want to be in a position to act on that.    Ms. Nowak said one fear is that a Charter change to increase the Rooms & Meals Tax might not pass in  the city or Legislature.  She asked if there is a “plan B.”  Mr. Simson said it would depend on what kind of  project opportunities arise.  They could look for state grant money or try to go to the voters again.  Ms.  Dooley said that would depend on how close the vote is.  She noted that the City of Burlington already  has a full cent extra on their Rooms & Meals tax.    Ms. Nowak asked if individuals could donate to the Housing Trust.  Ms. Dooley said they can.    Mr. Hubbard said that the Council could consider an amount to fund at the budget discussion on 10  January.    Ms. Emery moved to approve the Resolution amending the contribution amount to read “up to  $200,000.”  Mr. Simson seconded.  This was accepted by the motion makers.  In the vote that followed,  the motion passed unanimously.    Mr. Simson suggested soliciting members for a new housing committee.  Ms. Nowak said that will be  done as soon as possible.    Excerpts from Minute of 12/1/14 City Council Meeting:  4. Consent Agenda:  a. Sign Disbursement b. Approve Minutes of 17 November 2014 c. Acceptance of portion of Holmes Road as a new City street   Ms. Emery asked that the Minutes of 17 November be removed from the Consent Agenda.  10. Other Business:  a. Items Held From Consent Agenda: Ms. Emery noted that on p. 3 of the Minutes of 17 November, next to the last paragraph, the  amendment proposed by Ms. Riehle was retracted.  Ms. Emery then moved to approve the Minutes of 17 November 2014 as amended.  Mr. Shaw seconded.   Motion passed unanimously.  Excerpt from Minute of 12/15/14 City Council Meeting:  1. Agenda Review:  No changes were made to the Agenda.  Ms. Nowak cited the need to correct the Resolution regarding the housing trust to indicate in Section 3 a  change from an amount of $200,000 to an “amount between $100,000 and $200,000.”  Mr. Simson moved to change the amount in Section 3 of the Resolution regarding the creation of a  Housing Trust from $200,000 to “an amount between $100,000 and $200,000.  Ms. Emery seconded.   Motion passed unanimously.      SOUTH BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION RELATING TO A SOUTH BURLINGTON HOUSING TRUST FUND Whereas, the City Council of South Burlington (CC), Vermont, on August 4, 2014, voted unanimously to: Support the establishment of a South Burlington Housing Trust Fund whose purpose will be “to provide an ongoing stream of funds to support strategic participation in development that will increase the City’s stock of housing that is affordable to households with income below 80 percent of median”; and Establish a committee whose purpose would be to identify and research options for funding a South Burlington Housing Trust Fund and make recommendations to the CC regarding which it deems the most appropriate for South Burlington; and Whereas such committee was established; came together under the leadership of its chair, John Simson; carried out its work; and reported its recommendations to the City Council; Now, therefore, be it resolved that the South Burlington City Council: 1. Creates a South Burlington Housing Trust Fund, creates a standing Affordable Housing Committee, and shall make appointments to this committee; 2. Directs the Affordable Housing Committee, with the assistance of the City Attorney, to draft organizational documents and by-laws for the Housing Trust Fund. 3. Agrees to include an amount between $100,000 and $200,000 in the City’s FY 2016 budget to provide money for project planning and financing for the Housing Trust Fund during fiscal year 2016. 4. Directs the Affordable Housing Committee to prepare an additional charter change to be included on the City’s November 2016 ballot. The Charter Change would add one-half of one percent to the local option rooms and meals tax and would dedicate the proceeds to the Housing Trust Fund. Provided the voters approved this Charter Change, it shall be forwarded immediately to the 2017 State Legislature. 5. Directs the Affordable Housing Committee, during the period from its appointment, through November 8, 2016, to engage in activities with multiple City stakeholders and interest groups, including convening meetings of South Burlington hospitality businesses, other interest groups, and residents. The purpose of these activities shall be to build awareness and understanding of (1) the need for more affordable housing in the City; and (2) the ways in which preservation and development of affordable housing contributes to our community economically, environmentally, and socially; and, additionally to test community support for using an increase in the rooms and meals tax to support the Housing Trust Fund.

Outline of the Proposed Overall Amendments The South Burlington Planning Commission held a public hearing on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, at 7:00 pm, in the City Hall Conference Room, 575 Dorset Street, South Burlington, VT to consider the following amendments to the South Burlington Land Development Regulations: A. Revised standards for parking in front of buildings related to light industrial-type uses in heavy commercial / industrial districts; B. Merger of similar use categories (eg, retail sales, retail food establishment, and convenience store), consolidating definitions, and arranging by scale and applicability C. Allowance of small-scale personal instruction studio and indoor recreation in the SEQ-VC District D. Updated definitions and technical corrections throughout Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission approved the submittal of the amendments and this report to the City Council. Brief Description and Findings Concerning the Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments have been considered by the Planning Commission for their consistency with the text, goals, and objectives of the City of South Burlington’s Comprehensive Plan, adopted February 2, 2016. For each of the amendments, the Commission has addressed the following as enumerated under 24 VSA 4441(c): “…The report shall provide a brief explanation of the proposed bylaw, amendment, or repeal and shall include a statement of purpose as required for notice under section 4444 of this title, and shall include findings regarding how the proposal: 2 (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing. (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities.” A. Revised standards for parking in front of buildings related to light industrial-type uses in heavy commercial / industrial districts; Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw The proposed amendment would allow for a minor proportion of a parking area to be located to the front of a light-industrial, warehouse & distribution or similar building in the Mixed Industrial- Commercial and Industrial-Open Space Districts. To mitigate the effects of having parking in front of the building, certain additional site design standards would be required, including screening of parking, direct pedestrian access, and enhanced quality of “open space” in the vicinity to provide for useable areas for pedestrians. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The proposed amendments are located within the “Northeast Quadrant” Planning Area and the “Medium to Higher Intensity, Principally Non-Residential” Future Land Use District. Future Land Use for the Northwest Quadrant is described in part, as follows: “Future Land Use. The pattern of land use and development in the Northeast Quadrant has focused on businesses which require larger properties, can be compatible with the operations of an airport, and/or which may not be easily compatible with residential areas. Future use of land in developed areas should continue to focus on employers and ancillary services. It should also continue to emphasize uses that are less critical within the core of the City…” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-22 The Future Land Use District, further, is described as follows: “Medium to Higher Intensity, Principally Non-Residential. Intended to foster high quality jobs, these lands provide for medium to large scale industrial, educational, mechanical and office park environments, among other related uses. Their aesthetics should reflect quality design and promote South Burlington as a welcoming place to work and do business. Residential uses are largely discouraged. Land coverage provides for sufficient green infrastructure, and respect primary natural resources, with slightly relaxed controls for wider roadways, increased parking, and lot coverages. Multimodal transport services these areas. Development here should be respectful of lower intensity uses where they abut.” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-6. 3 The proposed change is consistent with the above descriptions. The proposed amendments will not affect the provision of safe and affordable housing. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendment would not have a direct impact on any planned community facilities. The City does plan to have additional roadways & bicycle/pedestrian facilities in the area. Safe access from properties by pedestrian to these planned facilities is maintained through requirements for direct, separated pedestrian links from buildings to the street. B. Merger of similar use categories (eg, retail sales, retail food establishment, and convenience store), consolidating definitions, and arranging by scale and applicability Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw These amendments would include two parts: (1) a merger of similar land use categories, and (2) establishing a coordinated set of standards for the size and scale of retail sales uses across all zoning districts that allow them. Specifically, the proposed amendments would consolidate “retail sales”, “convenience store”, “retail food establishment”, and “general merchandise store” into “retail sales”, with an updated definition. In addition, the amendments would further clarify the distinction between “retail sales” and “wholesale establishment” by including a new term, “wholesale club” and stating that it is considered “retail sales” and not “wholesale establishment.” The draft amendments then establish a maximum size (gross floor area) to “retail sales” in some zoning districts that allows for the use, consistent with the purpose of that district and the Comprehensive Plan. The amended Regulations would create five size categories – two small, one medium, one medium-large, and one large. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. The Comprehensive Plan contains a clear Vision & Goals Statement. It includes four principal goals. The fourth goal is excerpted below. “Here and Into the Future, South Burlington is … Opportunity Oriented. Being a supportive and engaged member of the larger regional and statewide community. • Prioritize development that occurs within the community into the higher intensity areas identified within this Plan; 4 • Support a diverse and vibrant economy built on quality jobs, employment centers and a supportive educational and research system; support markets for local agricultural and food products.” P. 1-1. The Comprehensive Plan divides the City into five (5) Planning Areas and five Future Land Use Categories. They are: Planning Areas: • Central District, including City Center and surrounding areas; • Northwest Quadrant, including areas west of the Airport and north of I-89, exclusive of the Central District; • Northeast Quadrant, including the Burlington International Airport and areas north of I- 89; • Southwest Quadrant, including the Shelburne Road corridor; • Southeast Quadrant, including areas south of 1-89 and east of Spear Street. Future Land Use Categories: • Very low intensity, principally open space. • Lower intensity, principally residential. • Medium intensity, residential to mixed use. • Medium to higher intensity, principally non-residential. • Medium to higher intensity, mixed use. These Areas and Categories work together to define the future development intent of the different locations within the City. The Future Land Use Categories provide the description of the mix of uses and relative overall intensity anticipated while the Planning Areas provide the context of the surroundings, geographies, resources, and infrastructure. The proposed amendments are consistent with the intent and goals of the Comprehensive Plan and with the purposes of the specific zoning districts in which they are located. Smaller size retail are continued in areas intended for smaller-scale development, or where the focus is on industrial or institutional uses. These limits are in place in most cases already and are made more consistent. They are typically found where Planning Areas such as the Southeast and Northwest Quadrants contain Medium and Medium-to-Higher Intensity Future Land Use Categories. They also includes the Industrial-Open Space zoning district, which has long limited retail uses. Zoning districts in this category include the SEQ-VC, R7-NC, C1-LR, Allen Road, Swift Street, IA-North, and I/O. Medium-scale retail is permitted in areas where the Plan’s focus is on employment centers, with some allowance for retail. These are largely areas in the Northeast Quadrant that are also designated for medium to higher intensity principally non-residential or mixed use. Zoning districts in this category include the Mixed Industrial-Commercial District, the C1-Air District, and the C1-R12 District. 5 Future Land Use for the Northwest Quadrant is described as follows: “Future Land Use. The pattern of land use and development in the Northeast Quadrant has focused on businesses which require larger properties, can be compatible with the operations of an airport, and/or which may not be easily compatible with residential areas. Future use of land in developed areas should continue to focus on employers and ancillary services. It should also continue to emphasize uses that are less critical within the core of the City. In addition, future redevelopment should make use of improved transit services. Future development, especially in the Tilley Drive/Kimball Ave/Williston Road/Community Drive area should maximize efficiency of land use and support multi- modal transportation. This area should have clear, efficient access to City Center as part of an integrated, urbanized high activity, pedestrian and transit friendly east-west corridor. In 2014, the University of Vermont Medical Center began exploration of installing a consolidated outpatient facility in this area.” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-22 The majority of the area is contained within the Medium to Higher Intensity, Principally Non- Residential Future Land Use Category. It is described as follows: “Intended to foster high quality jobs, these lands provide for medium to large scale industrial, educational, mechanical and office park environments, among other related uses. Their aesthetics should reflect quality design and promote South Burlington as a welcoming place to work and do business. Residential uses are largely discouraged. Land coverage provides for sufficient green infrastructure, and respect primary natural resources, with slightly relaxed controls for wider roadways, increased parking, and lot coverages. Multimodal transport services these areas. Development here should be respectful of lower intensity uses where they abut.” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-6. This area also contains two residential zoning districts within the larger Mixed Industrial- Commercial district. The Comprehensive addresses these areas as follows: “Adjacent Residential Areas. The Northeast Quadrant comes into contact with residential neighborhoods in a handful of key places, notably to the west and northeast of the Burlington International Airport, and with the handful of residential pockets within the Quadrant itself. Sufficient transition tools – in the form of lower intensity uses, buffering, or screening – should be provided to foster the continued compatibility of these areas. The same holds for undeveloped areas to the east of Old Farm Road.” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-24 Medium-large retail is proposed to be allowed in the Commercial-2 District. This area is located within the Southwest Quadrant Planning Area and the Medium to Higher Intensity-Mixed Use Future Land Use Category. It is distinct from the more northern portion of these same districts along Shelburne Road in part because it is located further from the Interstate and population centers in South Burlington and Burlington. 6 The Medium to Higher Intensity, Mixed Use Future Land Use Category is described as follows: “Medium to higher intensity, mixed use. These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied, but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings whenever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open spaces are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.: Comprehensive Plan 3-7. Future Land Use for the Southwest Quadrant includes the following statement: “South of IDX Drive, the Shelburne Road corridor becomes predominately commercial on both sides, with collector streets leading to residential neighborhoods. These areas should be encouraged for infill development and redevelopment, with a continued focus on business opportunities.” Comprehensive Plan p. 3-27 Larger retail, with no explicit limitation on size, remain permitted in several districts. Those include the Commercial 1-Residential 15, Commercial 1-Residential 12 and each of the Form Based Codes districts. The Airport & Institutional- North Districts also permit retail in the context of their overall intent. The FBC Districts and Commercial 1 Districts are located in the following Future Land Use Category: “Medium to higher intensity, mixed use. These lands are intended to be the most compact and most intensely developed in the City and support employment. Residential densities are higher than other designations, as a matter of allowance and as a goal. Housing options are varied, but focus primarily on multi-family dwellings. Uses should be mixed within the block, and mixed within buildings whenever possible. Infrastructure is efficient, and transportation is emphasized towards pedestrians and cyclists and provision of large scale non-shared parking should be discouraged. Open spaces are part of the public realm. Building heights, lot coverages, and other building dimensions are higher than other future land use areas.” Comprehensive Plan 3-7. The City Center Form Based Codes Zoning District is largely contained with the Central District as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. In this area, size of uses are not limited; instead, development is managed by the form of the buildings. The Future Land Use Plan for this area includes the following Statement: “The intent for this entire area – developed and undeveloped – is to create an environment that has all of the elements, functions, programing and features to become South Burlington’s principal downtown area.” Comprehensive Plan P. 3-10. 7 The C1-R15 District is located in the Southwest Future Land Use Planning Areas along key sections of major corridors that contain good access to transportation. “The north end of the corridor in South Burlington has seen the most significant redevelopment to date and now includes several newer multi-family buildings amongst commercial areas. Future redevelopment in this area should be consistent with the pattern established by this development and by the single and two-family home neighborhood behind parts of it. South of I-189, the east side of the road includes the well established Orchards neighborhood as well as a series of relatively small commercial lots fronting on Shelburne Road. Continued reuse and redevelopment of these commercial areas should enhance pedestrian connectivity to residential areas while at the same time protecting them from encroachment. The west side of the road includes significantly larger lots and some existing multi-family housing. Mixed use development and redevelopment is encouraged in this area.” Comprehensive Plan pp. 3-26 to 3-27 Where lots are described as being smaller in the above sections, the depth of the zoning district itself will place limitations on the size of certain uses. Based on the analysis above, the proposed amendments are consistent with the above descriptions. The proposed amendments will not have effect on the provision of safe and affordable housing. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendments are not anticipated to affect planned community facilities. The proposed amendments would not have a significant impact on planned community facilities. The application of scale of uses in these areas is consistent with existing and planned transportation infrastructure in the areas, with more intense users generally permitted in areas with greater transportation access. C. Allowance of small-scale personal instruction studio and indoor recreation in the SEQ-VC District Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw This amendment would permit small-scale personal instruction studios and indoor recreation in the SEQ-VC District. This district is located in two places: along a portion of Dorset Street towards the south end of the City and along a small section of Hinesburg Road south of I-89. (1) Conforms with or furthers the goals and policies contained in the municipal plan, including the effect of the proposal on the availability of safe and affordable housing (2) Is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan. See discussion above. This zoning district is located within the Southeast Quadrant Planning Area and the Medium-to-Higher Intensity – Mixed Use Future Land Use Category. 8 The purpose of this district is to promote village-scale mixed use development, including retail, housing, office space, and ancillary services. The allowance of these two use categories is consistent with this intent, allowing for neighborhood-scale services such as gyms, dance studios, etc. in these areas. The proposed amendment will have no effect on the availability of safe and affordable housing. (3) Carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for any planned community facilities. The proposed amendments are not anticipated to affect planned community facilities. D. Updated definitions and technical corrections throughout Brief explanation of the proposed bylaw These amendments include a number of minor corrections to the current Land Development Regulations, including establishing a definition for the term “rear building line”, several typos, and a map correction to remove an overlay district that had previously been eliminated in the text and correct the legend.
