ZONING NARRATIVE Date: 8/15/22
(a) PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is the corner parcel of Shelburne Road and Proctor Ave, right on the South Burlington /
Burlington line. It is in the Commercial C1-R15 zoning district and abuts the Residential R-4 zoning district to the
east. The proposed scope of this project is isolated to the southeast corner of the parcel, with minor
improvements at the north end of the site. The existing conditions on the rest of the parcel are to remain. The
existing building contains 21,755 sf of commercial (retail) space. The first floor is 16,605 sf, with small second
floor space (5,150 sf) at the southeast corner. The second floor space is accessed both by the parking lot to the
north, and by the driveway to the south, off of Proctor Ave.
The proposed project area is limited to the existing second floor commercial space. This space will be
renovated into (6) residential multi-family apartments. In addition to the new use, the project proposes an
added third story over the existing second floor space, for a total of 8,150 sf of residential space. The existing
building footprint will not change.
The existing driveway and curb cut will be reduced. This portion of the site will provide one handicap
parking space, designated for the ADA accessible unit. All other units will utilize the existing parking lot. There is
an existing interior stair connecting the parking lot (north side) to the existing second floor space. This stair will
be maintained for use by the residents. There are some minor site improvements to this northern entry. The
additional space gained on the south side, by the reduction of the driveway, will be utilized to provide common
outdoor space for the residents. There will be a stair and ADA ramp up to a raised walkway. This walkway
connects the common elements: building entries, laundry facility, bike storage, mailboxes, and an
indoor/outdoor lounge space. This indoor/outdoor space will be carved out of the existing loading dock area.
The remaining open space on this portion of the site will be seeded and planted to provide a lawn area, with a
variety of new plantings.
The challenge on this site is the zoning district boundary (east property line). The existing building does
not provide the required 65-foot setback from the R-4 district, or the 15-foot planted buffer strip, as required by
Section 3.06. We are asking for DRB approval of a vibrant residential use, where there was previously a
commercial loading dock and large expanses of blank brick walls. Given the limited available space, this project
creates valuable outdoor space for residents, while providing a visually pleasing planted green space between
the adjacent property.
