period, and the city has agreed to plow them. “g” is an application for a grant to help the city
comply with phosphorus control. Ms. Baker said the city will be getting $750,000.
In the vote that followed, the motion passed unanimously.
6. Introduce Nick Gingrow, Information Technology Director, and Adam Matth,
Recreation and Parks Director:
Ms. Baker introduced Mr. Gingrow and Mr. Matth and reviewed their backgrounds. She noted
that both men are South Burlington residents.
Mr. Gingrow said he has lived in South Burlington for a long time and also worked with Sen.
Thomas Chittenden at UVM for a number of years. He noted that Larry King, a former member
of the IT team, has moved on, and there is an ongoing search for his replacement.
Mr. Matth said he moved to Vermont in 2012. He was with the Lake Monsters for 9-10 years,
then in the UVM Athletic Department. He looks forward to bringing people together in exciting
ways.
7. Consider an appointment to the Development Review Board:
The Council interviewed Gabe Simpson and Charles Johnson for appointment to the
Development Review Board (DRB).
Following the interviews, the Council agreed to make the appointment at the end of the
meeting.
8. Receive a Recommendation from the Affordable Housing and Housing Trust Fund
Committees requesting additional funding be allocated to the Housing Trust Fund:
Mr. Trombly said this item has been on the committee's agendas for three years. They were
“wowed” by the $1,000,000 of ARPA money they received. One thing they could not fund was a
“land bank,” and they are looking to fund that. The 2 committees have held robust discussions
and are making the following 3 requests:
1. Increase the annual contribution to the Housing Trust Fund from $50,000 to
$150,000, nondiscretionary and adjusted for inflation
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 4
2. Make a one-time contribution of $500,000 to start a “land bank.” There is a
very simple land bank model. Upon sale of the land, the money would go
back into the fund.
3. Eliminate impact fees for affordable housing.
Mr. Trombly noted that the cost of projects has increased considerably. These requests would
help to reduce the overall cost.
Ms. Peters said the committees would provide the exact wording that was voted on. She added
that the cost to build or buy is staggering. If there wasn’t a project one year, there could be
$300,000 put in the fund (along with the annual $150,000 contribution).
Ms. Riehle asked the difference between the $150,000 and the $500,000. Mr. Trombly said they
would be 2 separate funds. He noted that in a short time, they received 5 applications for the
$150,000. The additional money would close the gap. Ms. Riehle asked if developers might
think the city doesn’t need them because it has the money. Mr. Trombly said it is actually the
opposite. Other towns would not have the money to fill the funding gap that the $150,000 can
fill.
Mr. Kupferman noted that the $150,000 has been used to fill in gaps when a developer goes
before funding boards. Shortly after ARPA expired, there was land to buy that they couldn’t
buy.
Mr. Trombly noted that when the committee visited the project in Winooski, the cost per unit
was $250,000. It is now about $500,000 per unit, which is prohibitive.
Mr. Chalnick noted a donation made to the fund. Mr. Trombly said the donation is an 80-unit
building, but it has no support services and no on-going funding. The donation money will be
used for services. Mr. Kupferman said they need funding for salaries for support staff. Ms.
Baker added that she is on the Champlain Housing Trust Board and can talk to the Council
regarding how those funds are used.
Ms. Riehle asked what the city would need to do to support a land bank. Ms. Baker said there
are a number of ways to set it up. Staff could research how other communities have done this
and suggest options.
CITY COUNCIL

Ms. Emery said she thought it was time to increase the Housing Trust Fund since it was set up in
2015. She also favored a revolving trust fund as a good way to get people into the housing
market with home ownership.
Mr. Chalnick agreed with increasing the Housing Trust Fund. He felt a revolving fund needs
more discussion. Ms. Riehle agreed and felt it should be part of the budget discussion. She was
not sure about eliminating impact fees. Mr. Trombly said it could be revenue neutral if market
value units paid a little more.
Ms. Riehle urged the committees to come back with appropriate language.
9. Further Consider a Proposed Residential Rental Ordinance, information on staffing
and space planning, and provide direction to staff. The Council could consider
warning a first reading of the ordinance for 2 January 2024:
Chief Locke reviewed changes made to the proposed ordinance following the last meeting:
a. The rate for permanents affordable units was reduced to zero.
b. An exemption was added for existing units being used as Airbnb’s until that
property is sold. They could then no longer be Airbnb’s.
Chief Locke said a special fund would be created to fund the addition to the Fire Station for an
area to deal with reinforcement of the ordinance. This would be paid back from fees in 10
years. Mr. Barritt said there would have to be strict guidelines as to who is eligible for funding.
Chief Locke said it is not a substantial amount of money, but it could help someone “get over
the finish line.”
Ms. Emery asked about “home share.” Chief Locke said home share would be allowed. It would
be required to be registered and inspected as a rental. They would have to pay the cost per
unit. The Chief noted that Mr. Chalnick’s amendment would eliminate the registration fee and
inspection. Mr. Timmons of Home Share Vermont said Burlington has an exemption for owner-
occupied units. This is an affordable way to house people, and it would be good to continue
this with as few barriers as possible. Mr. Chalnick felt it was intrusive for someone with a
roommate or a home share person to have the city come in and inspect, etc. Chief Locke said
those were not counted in the modeling.
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 6
Ms. Emery said he main concern was safety, and the intrusion should not be considered hostile.
There should be assurance that smoke alarms are in working order. Renters should also have
recourse in case there are concerns that are not being met.
Mr. Barritt asked how distinctions can be made between different types of rentals as there are
some “grey zones.” Ms. Emery said that when there is an inspection, the tenant should be
made aware of deficiencies. She added that it is important for people to know the city cares
about their well-being.
Mr. Chalnick said the effective date should be immediate, not some time in the future. Mr.
McNeil said he would be more comfortable using the date the Ordinance goes into effect.
Mr. Chalnick said he would like to limit exemptions to locally-owned Airbnb’s.
Ms. Emery was concerned with people in residential neighborhoods who are now surrounded
by commercial properties. Owners are not respecting the residential zoning. There is a lost
sense of neighborhood. She felt residents could legitimately say their property values have
decreased because of this.
Mr. McNeil said there is litigation all over the country. Burlington is being challenged in court.
“Primary residence” has been upheld in some places, challenged in others. The city can’t rely
on a particular precedent and could potentially have a court challenge. The Supreme Court has
not made a decision. Mr. Barritt said you can’t build a hotel in those areas; what is so different
about renting out rooms in your house? He felt that if it isn’t allowed in the zoning, the city has
a legal right to halt it. Mr. McNeill said this is an Ordinance which is not the same as zoning.
Mr. Kupferman asked how many places does this involve. Chief Locke said the city knows of 75
short-term rentals. Mr. Kupferman said they are attempting to create a rental registry and
regulate short-term units in the same ordinance. He felt they should be separated. Chief Locke
said they are close to getting over the finish line. He felt that Mr. Chalnick’s recommendations
would allow them to capture the majority of problems.
Mr. Chalnick read the language of his recommendations. It provides coverage for people who
rent for 30 days or more with access to an entire unit. Ms. Emery felt there should be
something to indicate to a renter that a place has not been inspected.
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 7
All members except for Ms. Emery were OK with Mr. Chalnick’s language being inserted. Chief
Locke said notification can be covered elsewhere.
Mr. Chalnick said he would like this to be self-funded. Ms. Emery said there are some Airbnb’s
that are charging $350.00 a night. She felt they should be charged $3000.00 a year depending
on the nightly rates and as low as $150.00 a year if they are owner-occupied.
Mr. Kupferman said he didn’t think there is a code enforcement program that will pay for itself.
Just the staffing can’t be supported by a fee-based program.
Members were OK with $1500.00 for non-owner-occupied rentals. Members also agreed that
the charge for an affordable unit should be $25.00 for the inspection.
Public comment was then heard as follows:
Mr. Dolbec: A few units near where he lives are owned by out-of-staters and a rented out.
There are traffic issues with renters driving too fast. He is concerned about his young children.
There are no background checks on the renters and there is no way to police this. He stressed
that the neighborhood is zoned residential and asked why a commercial use is being allowed.
He asked the city’s support in dealing with this.
Mr. Stevens: Airbnb’s should be required to get a zoning permit and should be allowed only in
mixed residential/commercial zones. They should not be grandfathered. He felt that residents
suffer while perpetrators are protected. He cited the need to take a stance against the
proliferation of Airbnb’s. He cited advertisements that tell property owners they can increase
their profits by 300-400%. Out-of-state owners don’t care about the community, only the profit,
and citizens should not have to bear the results on their quality of life. He felt the ordinance is a
good start, but it does not help with the existing issue. Courts have decreed a community has
the right to enforce zoning. If an Airbnb doesn’t have a zoning permit, they are running a
business illegally. The regulations also require a 65-foot setback from a residential area for a
commercial use. These commercial uses are actually right in the residential area.
Mr. Spitler: He lived across the street from an Airbnb in Shelburne for many years. It was
owner occupied. He never knew it was there. When he moved to South Burlington, within 2
months there were 2 Airbnb’s on the street. Lights are left on all night shining in his windows.
Traffic has increased on their single lane road. His dog has been attacked. There have been so
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 8
many cars parked on the street that he hasn’t been able to get to his home. He tried reaching
out to the owners but has had no reply. He implored the city to corral this issue.
Ms. Hirsch: Owns an owner-occupied Airbnb which keeps her afloat. She understands the
concerns and acknowledges that out-of-state owners have a lack of respect. She is not booked
every night, and there have been no complaints from neighbors.
Ms. Demetrowitz: Supports the ordinance because it protects long-term renters and assures
code compliant homes. There is also a place to turn with concerns. She supported a zero fee
for affordable units as they are inspected annually by several agencies.
Ms. Overnicky: There are both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied rentals across
the street, and there have been no problems. The issue is with management. She felt that if
there are issues, owners should lose their permits. She thought there were only about 20-25
non-owner occupied rentals.
Mr. Chittenden: Owns an Airbnb in Starksboro to help with taxes. The taxes on his South
Burlington home went up 30% with reassessment. This is a generational property, and he can’t
rent it full time or there would be no place for him to live. Without the added income, he
would be forced out of South Burlington. The neighbors in Starksboro love his Airbnb.
Ms. Senecal: Cited the importance of funding safety upgrades for long-term rentals. She also
thought there should be education as to what safe housing looks like so people know what to
ask for.
Ms. Dooley: She noted that “congregate care facilities” are not considered in the Ordinance.
There are 3 buildings in the Quarry Hill development that are called “congregate care” but are
actually apartments with a community room. Mr. Conner said there is no count of how many
buildings are “congregate care.” They did not count in the density count. She was concerned
that the city is exempting these apartments for seniors.
Mr. Bolduc: Is concerned with the budget and “inspection fatigue.” He suggested inspection
sampling of a percentage every year. This would save staff time.
Christie: Has an owner-occupied short-term rental. She made $11,000 this year which
helps pay for improvements to her home. Some improvements are more costly than what she
earns in a year. She said some renters are not getting rich.
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 9
Mr. Campbell: Operates a short-term rental and lives outside of South Burlington.
Supports a rental registry for long and short-term rentals. Most short-term renters do this so
they can live and retire here and be near grandchildren. They love this community. Agreed that
short-term rentals should end when a property is sold. Has a local manager. Felt the ordinance
was fair and enforceable.
Mr. Doyle: Liked the progress in the Ordinance. Charges $35.00 a night with a discount for 6
weeks. It is not always fun having people come in and out of his house. Have had people stay
with him because their leases have run out before graduation. Hotels are very expensive. He
agreed with the safety focus.
Mr. Chalnick suggested that there be a sunset of 3 or 4 years so neighbors will know when “the
nightmare is over.” Ms. Emery agreed. Mr. McNeil noted that if a short-term rental use is
stopped for 6 consecutive months, the property can no longer be registered as a short-term
rental.
Ms. Emery said the argument regarding commercial vs. residential has merit. To allow this to
exist indefinitely would be a problem. She favored a sunset of about 3 years.
Ms. Baker said staff will bring back what they heard tonight so the Council can then warn a
public hearing.
Ms. Riehle said if tenants are noisy or disruptive, there is the ability of the city to revoke the
right to rent that property. This would allow for relief even during the sunset period.
Mr. Kupferman asked what would stop someone from opening a new Airbnb during the sunset
period. Ms. Riehle said that can be addressed by the Planning Commission.
10. Introduce the Draft of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) – Government Operations
Implementation Plan, and provide direction to staff:
Ms. Baker noted that the city had been unable to find a consultant to do this work, so the
decision was made to ask Lou Bresee who agreed to do it.
Mr. Bresee said the CAP has set rather a rather aggressive target of 95% reduction by 2050.
There is money in the CIP (80% of the estimated cost), so the city will not have to start as zero.
All the actions involve equipment that will have to be replaced at least twice by 2050.
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 10
Mr. Bresee then reviewed progress to date including:
a. Multiple solar arrays
b. Thermophilic digester at Airport Plant
c. LED light transition
d. Wheeler House insulation
e. GMP carbon free
f. Hybrid Police cars
The following items are scheduled to be addressed by 2030:
a. Bartlett Bay Treatment Plant upgrade
b. Begin to convert fleet to electric vehicles
c. Begin to convert natural gas heating to heat pumps
d. Weatherization
Mr. Bresee said the work can’t be done faster because they can’t find people to do the work,
and current equipment is aging.
Mr. Bresee then showed a pie chart of targets. He noted that the cost of all known technology
projects is $45,000,000.
Mr. Barritt asked about bio-diesel. Mr. Bresee said they are looking at that. One problem is
distribution in Vermont.
Mr. Bresee noted that he received ideas from almost all employees. He showed a list of ideas
and said that people will be told when their ideas are activated.
Mr. Bresee then reviewed actions that are underway including:
a. Complete initial version of plan
b. Trying to get bids
c. Join CATMA
d. Replace 3 rooftop units at Public Works
e. Get grants for more charging stations
f. Get grants to weatherize Fire Station #2 and Wheeler House
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 11
The hope is that this plan will reduce greenhouse gases. This will have to be monitored every
day for the next 25 years.
Mr. Chalnick noted that there are robust credits available, up to $40,000 for vehicles. With
regard to carbon capture, there is a small-scale business where you can get credit from the
government for every ton captured. Ms. Riehle noted there is now a cement that absorbs
carbon.
Ms. Baker noted the city has been doing much of this for years. This just codifies it and pulls
everyone in the same direction. This will be built into the FY25 budget, if the Council says so. It
would require $600,000 a year in the budget to meet the goals.
11. Receive an update on the status of TIF projects with a focus on right-of-way and
financing:
Ms. Blanchard said there is a lot of work that the City Council will need to do over the winter.
This is a critical time as the deadline to incur debt is March 31, 2024. Right-of-way acquisition is
in various stages with letters having been sent out to owners.
The boardwalk is 100% TIF eligible and is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024. It has
a $2,000,000 budget and also uses impact fees.
The budget for the Walk/Bike Bridge is much higher than anticipated with steel being the major
cost driver as well as soils and inflation. The plan is now for the bridge to be narrower with no
separation between bikes and pedestrians. This reduces steel needs significantly. There will still
be a lot of landscaping. Ms. Blanchard then showed the bridge alignment. She noted that the
Quarry Hill access has been resolved. The U-Mall access has been moved north to align with
the existing wall. This eliminates the need for one wall. The budget for this project is now
$22,518,400. The city has applied for two grants and is applying for “gap funding.”
The Williston Road Streetscape has a $2,600,000 budget and is in the right-of-way acquisition
phase. It is 50% TIF eligible and has an $800,000 federal grant. The recommendation is to use
impact fees for this project. The city is also applying to the State for “gap funding” for the
$480,000 gap.
The Garden Street budget is $12,801,000. $11,000,000 was approved by voters. The
recommendation is to use impact fees to cover the gap at the end of the project.
CITY COUNCIL
6 NOVEMBER 2023
PAGE 12
Mr. Chalnick asked what would happen if the gap on the bridge funding can’t be filled. Ms.
Blanchard said there are many places they can go for funding as this is a regional project.
Ms. Baker praised Ms. Blanchard’s great job of being aggressive in meetings regarding issues.
12. Discuss and possibly approve shifts in the Council Liaison roles:
Following discussion, Ms. Emery moved that Mr. Kupferman be the liaison to the Natural
Resources Committee and Mr. Chalnick be the liaison to the Bike/Ped Committee. Mr. Barritt
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
13. Other Business:
Ms. Emery moved to appoint Charles Johnson to the DRB. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
Ms. Emery cited her disappointment in the Channel 22 report on the City/School Board safety
efforts. She suggested a joint statement of what the two boards have agreed to do together.
Ms. Baker suggested a Council member take the lead on that effort.
As there was no further business to come before the Council Mr. Barritt moved to adjourn.
Mr. Chalnick seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:12
p.m.

Mr. Barritt moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Chalnick seconded.
Mr. Chalnick asked for more information about the heat pumps. Mr. Bresee said he has
learned that heat pumps for residential units are operating much better than those for
commercial use. The local company will not go with them because the cost is too high
and there is a concern with reliability. The lower the temperature gets, the less efficient
they are. At a zero temperature, they do nothing. Because there were so few zero days last
year, that is the reason for the current request.
In the vote that followed, the motion passed 4-0.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2023 | PAGE 3
FY25 Budget: Receive the City Manager’s Proposed Budget, request additional
information, and provide direction to staff:
Ms. Baker introduced members of the leadership team and particularly recognized the
efforts of Ms. Machar in putting together the proposed FY25 city budget.
Ms. Baker then reviewed some city statistics:
Population – 20,624
Owner-occupies homes – 60.2%
BA degree or higher – 62%
Median Household Income - $83,000
City staff – 185
3 Labor Groups
8 City buildings
11 City parks
Ms. Baker then reviewed the budget goals as follows:
Continue current level of service
Implement year 2 investments recommended in FY24
Do not exceed 5% increase
Implement the Climate Action Plan: Transportation Implementation Plan
Implement the Government Operation Plan
Increase Housing Trust Fund to 150,000 a year
Fund school crossing guards at $30,000
Budget assumptions included:
A 2% growth in the Grand List
A 4.4% growth in the TIF Grand List
7% increase in local option taxes
Increase in investment income, ambulance revenue and permitting fees
Contractual COLA of 2.8% and step increases
New Child Care Contribution payroll tax
Health insurance increase of 16.4% (due to a high claims year)
Other insurances up 8%
The General Fund Total Budget would result in a 4.8% tax increase. This would mean an
additional $66.00 a year for an average condo and $98.00 a year for the average single
family home. With added expenses factored in, the total increase would be 8.2%,
resulting in $ 119.00 a year for the average condo and $176.00 for the average single
family home. Ms. Baker noted that less than $1,000,000 of the budget increase would be
paid for by the current taxpayers.
Some of the budget highlights include:
CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2023 | PAGE 4
Restoring DPW Highway position
Restoring the Youth Services Officer
Full implementation of the second ambulance
New Library position (19 hours a week)
Community Justice person increased from half-time to full-time position
$30,000 to Illuminate Vermont
$20,000 to start a Downtown Association to include both UMall and the Blue
Mall
Ms. Baker then reviewed significant changes in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as
follows:
$10,000 increase for Public Art
Restore $60,000 to City Center Reserve
Fire State alterations ($95,000)
$150,000 for paving
Market Street/Hinesburg Road traffic signal ($ 100,000)
$30,000 for traffic calming
$60,000 for sidewalk assessment and improvement
$100,000 for school safety needs at Dorset Street
Partial funding for Compact Wheel Loader for City Center maintenance (a smaller
loader which can access smaller spaces, to be funded over 2 years)
Ms. Baker then showed the FY25 Climate Policy Budget which totals $607,000.00. It
includes one full-time employee. It is hoped this person will find grant money to reduce
some of the costs. Mr. Chalnick questioned whether window replacement was a
maintenance or climate expense. Ms. Quallen said any difference in cost in upgrading to
a climate-related cost is included here. There is an additional cost to energy efficient
windows, and that capital cost is reflected.
Ms. Baker stressed that this is the smallest amount of money that will be needed to
implement the Climate Action plans which will fund between $2,000,000 and
$10,000,000 in the next few years. The city needs to start building for that now.
Ms. Baker then showed the budget for use of ARPA funds including funding for the
Hinesburg Road/Market Street traffic light ($350,000), Parks Master Plan ($125,000) and
Hinesburg Road shared use path ($200,000). There is still $2,100,000 of ARPA fund not
yet allocated.
(Ms. Emery arrived at the meeting at this point)
Mr. Barritt asked what happened to health care costs. Ms. Baker said in recent years, they
have been below the market increase (6-8%), but this was a very high claims year. Ms.
Baker will put together a few years of past data for the Council. She noted that provider
costs are also increasing.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2023 | PAGE 5
Staff is recommending a bond issue of $5,200,000 for the second water tank.
Emerging issues include:
Parking fund
Rental registry fund
Possible funding for a Recreation Center
Potential funding for building and geothermal position of Climate Action Plan
575-577 Dorset Street costs
City Plan 2024 adoption
Negotiations with Fire, Library and Police
Hard to fill positions in Police Department and CDL drivers
Emerging mental health and substance needs of neighbors.
Ms. Baker then reviewed the budget schedule as follows:
15 December – Budget Retreat
18 December – City Council Budget Discussion
2 January 2024 – City Council Budget Discussion
16 January 2024 – Public hearing on FY25 Budget
22 January 2024 – Steering Committee Budget Presentations
4 March 2024 – Town Meeting Budget Presentations
5 March 2024 – Town Meeting Day Vote
Ms. Baker asked members what additional information they might need. Mr. Chalnick
said he would like to see budget increases from previous years and the CPI
Discuss the City Plan 2024 and vote to warn a public hearing on 2 January at 7:00
p.m.:
Mr. Conner noted that the Plan has been revised to address Council change requests. He
noted that a planned park along the Winooski River had been missed and has been
added. He also reminded members that they had wanted to change the title of one map
to “vehicular improvements” ; staff is suggesting “roadway improvements.”
Ms. Riehle said the Planning Commission Chair felt all the changes made by the Council
were good ones.
Mr. Chalnick suggested that on p. 36, Action 43, be changed to read “create a city tree
regulation that addresses tree protection in coordination with development.” He also
asked to add to action 54, following the word “possible,” “…including updates to the
City’s noise Ordinance.”
On p. 18, Mr. Chalnick felt the data was incomplete and distorts the picture of the city.
He challenged whether there are 18,000 jobs in the city (as stated in the Plan) or 11,000
which was a figure from a survey. He felt this gave a skewed view of the housing
shortage. Following a break to allow for some research, Mr. Conner said both numbers
CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2023 | PAGE 6
were “correct.” He showed the census data and said this is probably more reliable than
the survey cited by Mr. Chalnick.
Mr. Barritt noted that the city’s vacancy rate is at 1% which he felt is a better indicator of
the housing problem. There are statements from 2 major employers who cannot get
workers because of housing issues.
Mr. Britt raised a question on p. 46 regarding speeds on Hinesburg Road south of I-89.
Mr. Conner said those changes can be made. Mr. Britt said a crosswalk is not feasible
there because of the speeds of vehicles. Mr. Silverstein agreed and said he would not
favor a crosswalk at DuBois Drive.
Mr. Silverstein asked about increases in utilities costs. Ms. Baker said there will be
increases for each fund (3.1% for water, 8.3% for sewer, and 9.5% for stormwater.
Mr. Silverstein questioned the use of heat pumps to address the fossil fuel issue. He said
the primary fuel source for the company that provides the New England grid is natural
gas. What Green Mountain Power purchases is not what is the electricity delivered to his
home. The electric grid in Vermont would collapse if it were not hooked up to the New
England grid. At least 40-50% of the electricity is derived from fossil fuels. The major
concern now is whether there is enough natural gas capacity to get through the winter.
Mr. Conner then showed the proposed language to address Mr. Britt’s concerns regarding
Hinesburg Road.
Ms. Emery moved to warn a public hearing on the City Plan 2024 for 2 January 2024, at
7 p.m. with the changes made at this meeting. Mr. Chalnick seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
Consider discontinuing Picard Circle and set a site inspection date for 16 January
2024 at 3:00 p.m. and a Public Hearing date for 16 January 2024 at 8:00 p.m.:
Mr. DiPietro noted that in 2019, DPW did a project on Picard Circle, installing an
infiltration system and then grassing it over. There are no longer any homes there.
VTrans has reached out as to whether the city followed up with discontinuing that road.
Mr. DiPietro said they missed that step. Discontinuing the road requires an on-site
inspection by the Council and a public hearing. The Airport is the only abutter, and they
will be notified.
Mr. Barritt moved to set a public inspection of Picard Circle for 3 p.m. on 16 January
2024 and a public hearing at 8 p.m. on 16 January 2024. Mr. Chalnick seconded. Motion
passed unanimously.
Discuss the Tax Increment Financing Winter Bond Pool application and approve
the preparation of the materials:
Ms. Baker directed attention to the TIF information which includes “known quantities”
and what the city will need to develop in the TIF district in order not to put a tax burden
on the taxpayers. She stressed that the most conservative numbers were used. Ms. Riehle
asked if there is enough land for all the development needed to break even. Ms.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 DECEMBER 2023 | PAGE 7
Blanchard said there is. Mr. Chalnick asked whether this is what was thought to be
needed. Ms. Riehle said it is.
Ms. Blanchard noted that other potential revenue sources for the bridge are not included
in the figures. The city believes this is a regional asset and that there should be additional
funding sources. Ms. Baker said the required units would not have to be residential; they
could be commercial/retail. Ms. Blanchard said some parcels are on Dorset Street and
would have great exposure for retail. Ms. Baker said the city is meeting several times a
month with developers who want to do business in City Center.
Ms. Blanchard said the aim is to present the Council with a model or “knowns” and
“unknowns” so it can be part of the year-to-year financial planning. There will be another
set of decisions at the end of the TIF when the money rolls back to the State education
fund.
Ms. Riehle moved to approve applying for the development of a winter bond. Mr. Barritt
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Other Business:
Mr. Barritt noted that the Dorset/Kennedy signal change is working very well. Mr.
DiPietro said there are 2 types of detection now, and the light can change when the
system sees a car coming. When the project is complete, there will be communication
between signals. More of the work will continue during the school holiday.
Consider entering executive session for the purpose of discussing the negotiating or
securing of real estate purchase or lease options and specifically the Long property:
Mr. Barritt moved that the Council meet in Executive Session for the purpose of
discussing the negotiating or securing of real estate purchase or lease options relating to
the Long property, inviting into the session Ms. Baker, Chief Locke, Mr. Conner, and Mr.
McNeil. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously
The Council entered executive session at 9:20 p.m.
Following the Executive Session, as there was no further business to come before the
Council Mr. Barritt moved to adjourn. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:18 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
To: South Burlington City Council
Jessie Baker, City Manager
From: Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning
Nick Atherton, City Planner
Date: December 14, 2023
Re: New Town Center & Neighborhood Development Area Renewal
Since 2009, South Burlington’s NTC has anchored the growing heart of the community. It
is bound by Williston Road, Dorset Street, Hinesburg Road, and San Remo Drive. Its core
is City Center, which is increasingly filled with compact, mixed-use infill development. The
NTC designation consists of 174.5 acres and provides a basis for the adjacent
Neighborhood Development Area (NDA) designation. Please see the attached map for a
visualization of both designation areas.
The NTC must be renewed every 8 years. It was established in 2009 and last renewed in
2015. Staff are now proposing that the City Council approve an NTC renewal based on the
same 174.5-acre area last approved in 2015. Since the associated NDA is also eligible for
renewal, staff recommend that Council also approve the NDA renewal at this time.
Both the NTC and NDA programs are designed to help municipalities direct private and
public investment towards areas designated for growth and/or infill. These benefits
include streamlined permitting, reduced application fees, and eligibility for tax rebates.
The NTC also enables the city’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district.
The NDA is an add-on to the NTC. It extends beyond the NTC’s borders into several
adjacent neighborhoods. The NDA offers similar benefits as the NTC to property owners,
and specifically incentives reinvestment in property maintenance, appearance, and safety.
The NDA was last expanded in October 2023 to include areas north of Williston Road.
City staff provided a draft of the complete application to the State Department of Housing
and Community Development, as encouraged by their process, earlier this fall. This
included, for the NTC, demonstration of our public-private partnerships, infrastructure
capacities and investments, and overall continued commitment to City Center through
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4112 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
Plans and regulations. For the NDA, this included demonstration that our land
development regulations and related city policies continue to meet the program’s
requirements to foster a pedestrian-oriented center. DHCD’s initial staff review was very
positive and we were encouraged/invited to submit the formal application following
Council’s approval. City Staff will present the renewals to the State’s Downtown Board
early in the new year.
Staff recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council authorize submittal of applications to renew South
Burlington’s New Town Center and Neighborhood Development Area designations.

to School programs, or other project types.
The grant application being submitted is for additional funding for the design and construction of the shared use path on Spear Street between Swift Street and the UVM Forestry Services Building.
We were awarded $300,000 through this grant program in 2021 and the grant program has increased their funding limit, so we are seeking additional grant support.
3. What does the grant fund and not fund (be specific)? Related to this project application, TAP grants cover “Construction, planning, and design of on-road and off-road trail facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other nonmotorized forms of
transportation, including sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals, traffic calming techniques, lighting and other safety-related infrastructure, and transportation projects to achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990”.
4. Total Project Cost:
a. Amount of grant: $300,000 b. Is there a City match required, how much and in what fiscal year(s)? $75,000 in FY24 and FY25.
c. Are there other grants “tied into” or being used as a match for this grant of which are matching funds for this grant? This project currently has $300,000 in grant funding from a previous round of funding. This application is in addition to that funding and
requires the additional match. 5. From what budget line will match be paid, and is there unencumbered money to pay it?
The $75,000 match will come from Penny for Paths funding.
6. Is there a cost to the city upon grant conclusion, and if yes, please describe?
No, there are no anticipated costs to the City upon conclusion of the grant. Typical maintenance of the facility will be required but it will not be an undue burden on DPW staff.
7. Is grant for stand alone project, and if no, how does grant fit into another project (describe in some detail)?
The grant is for a standalone project which has been in the CIP since FY21 when it was identified to begin in FY22. We are on track for FY25 construction. This path is an important piece of the shared use path network that has been in development parallel to Spear Street to provide a north-
south connection from South Village to US 2.
8. Length of grant - will the grant cross fiscal year(s)?
The grant terms are typically for 5 years, but it is anticipated that it will be spent and the project completed in FY25.
9. Who will apply for grant (name/title)? Erica Quallen, DPW Deputy Director of Capital Projects
10. How much time will it take to complete grant application form? The grant application will take 4 – 6 hours to complete.
11. How likely is it that we will receive grant? It is very likely that we will receive the grant as the project has been funded by the State in prior
rounds of this grant program and has since been moving on schedule towards the anticipated construction completion.
12. Who will manage (project manager) grant and grant paperwork if approved (if different person than who is filling out this form), what are any grant compliance requirements, how much time will this take and how is that time available? Are there funds available in the grant to pay for our administrative costs? Can in-kind service be used as part of the City match? The project manager for this project has been Erica Quallen, who will be working with Silken
Kershner to jointly manage the project through completion. TAP Grants are required to be in
compliance with the Single Audit Act for the period during which the agreement is open. If the grant funding covers construction, bid invitations must be issued and the award is to be made
based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. 13. Describe grant payment process – method of cash flow:
The grant payment process is through reimbursement.
14. Should a Council-appointed Committee, Board , or Commission review this request?
If yes, please update status: No
15. In terms of priority, with 5 being highest and 1 being lowest, please rate this grant in terms of how it fits into your primary mission as approved by City Council and current projects to complete that mission:
This project is a priority level of 5 because the design is in progress and additional funding to support the completion of design and construction will alleviate the burden on City funds to pay for the remainder of this project. The project has already been identified as a priority
project due to it’s long planned construction on the Official Map and CIP.

PROJECT NARRATIVE: Describe the project you are undertaking, how the humanities are central tothe project, and the goals for the work. *
A rapid response grant will allow us to add to our Vermont Reads activities with an off-site event
with partner organization the Vermont Chinese School, additional book giveaways, and additional
library materials on the themes introduced in Last Night at the Telegraph Club.
The proposed project is driven by our community’s love of the humanities. The Chinese New Year
cooking class will include an educational component on the origins of the foods cooked that day.
Inspired by the Vermont Reads selections from 2023 and 2022, the City staff and teen book
discussions of Messy Roots will tie together the themes of Last Night at the Telegraph Club with the
accessibility of graphic novels. In other regions, One Community, One Book programs use
“companion books” for children or teens to bring in readers who may not engage with a full-length
adult book. Our “companion” book reflects the themes of Last Night at the Telegraph Club.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion principles are central to this project. Through the South Burlington
High School GSA and the City’s DEI group, teens and City staff will be invited to participate in
discussions that address the themes of Chinese immigration to the United States; fear, stigma, and
ostracization Chinese immigrants and their families have encountered; and the cultural and personal
implications of queerness within and outside of the Chinese community.
ACCESSIBILITY: What steps are you
taking to ensure the project meets or
exceeds ADA accessibility guidelines?
For in-person programming, is the
facility you are using accessible? For
digital programming, will you provide
closed captioning, audio descriptions,
or other resources? How will any
program resources be accessible for
people of different abilities or
languages? *
The library is ADA accessible with elevator and hearing
loops in program rooms; all library program announcements
instruct attendees to contact us if additional services are
required. We enable captioning for all hybrid programs. We
do not have plans to offer sign or other language
interpreters for programs at this time. The Chinese New
Year cooking class will be taught and assisted by volunteers
who are fluent in both Mandarin and English.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND DIVERSITY/EQUITY/INCLUSION AND ACCESS (DEIA): Tell us who the
audience is for this project and how you are working to integrate DEIA values into this project.
Briefly describe any partnership or collaborations with other organizations that may take place as
part of this project. *
The audiences for this project are readers of all ages, with a focus on South Burlington teens,
seniors, and the City staff who serve our community. Our partnership with the Vermont Chinese
School is designed to improve the project's reach to the Chinese immigrant and Chinese-American
community in South Burlington and Chittenden County, with a focus on building understanding and
knowledge of Chinese culture and traditions. The historical and lived experiences of this community
are a significant focus of our book selection and programming goals. The focus of our work is on
individuals living or working in the city of South Burlington, but events will be open to individuals
from all counties.
What will success look like? Briefly
explain what you expect to learn
through this project and how you will
know that you've achieved your
project's goals. *
The Chinese New Year cooking class will reflect a mix of
library patrons and families connected with the Vermont
Chinese School. There is significant overlap between these
two groups; this event will be an opportunity for these
groups to get to know each other through a shared fun
experience. We look forward to lively conversations among
City staff and teens in their book discussions, and an
increase in readership at all ages on themes of Last Night at
the Telegraph Club and Messy Roots.

• Chittenden County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy: With federal funding from the US
Economic Development Administration (EDA), CCRPC completed a Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS) in concert with the Addison, Rutland and Central VT regions -- collectively
called the West Central Vermont CEDS. The CEDS identifies priority economic development strategies
and projects and will be used by a variety of federal and state funding programs when making grant
decisions. The West Central Vermont CEDS was approved by EDA in June 2023.
• Housing: The Building Homes Together campaign is a collaboration between CCRPC, Champlain Housing
Regional Activities
FY2024 CCRPC Work Program
5 | P a g e S e p t e m b e r 2 0 2 3
Trust, and Evernorth that focuses on the production of much-needed housing in Chittenden County
through outreach, education, and advocacy efforts. The Building Homes Together 2.0 campaign was
launched in fall 2021 with the goal of building 5,000 homes by 2025 for people of all incomes, including
at least 1,250 affordable homes. Review the latest housing data, infographics, and press releases here.
In 2023, the Legislature passed the HOME Act (S.100/Act 47) changing municipal zoning requirements in
an effort to encourage more housing production.
• Mapping Assistance: The CCRPC has many mapping applications to assist municipalities with planning.
Applications include dashboards, town plan mapping, zoning maps, thematic and analytical mapping of
natural, cultural and transportation resources. CCRPC has also built an ArcGIS Urban model that
supports land use scenario planning and impact assessment.
• Regional Energy Planning: The CCRPC continued initiatives to support the Region’s Enhanced Energy
Plan, Statewide Comprehensive Energy Plan, and emerging climate goals. With guidance from CCRPC’s
Long-Range Planning Committee’s Energy Sub-committee, the CCRPC drafted the ECOS Plan’s enhanced
energy plan sections to be consistent with the 2022 Department of Public Service’s Energy Planning
Standards. CCRPC shared guidance on how to address climate change in land use regulations with
municipal planning offices and planning commissions, and via state-wide presentations with VT Fish &
Wildlife. Lastly, with Drive Electric Vermont, the CCRPC engaged municipal planning offices regarding
strategies on how to develop electric vehicle charger plans.
• Regional Energy Implementation: The CCRPC provided information regarding the federal Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program, the Inflation Reduction Act, and electric
vehicle incentives. CCRPC provided technical support to municipalities regarding the state-wide
Municipal Energy Resilience Program for municipal buildings.
• Public Transportation Planning: The CCRPC remains engaged with Green Mountain Transit (GMT) in a
wide variety of public transit planning projects and initiatives to support the continued development of
a transportation system that is efficient, equitable and environmentally sustainable. Within the CCRPC’s
FY23 UPWP, $442,840 was allocated to GMT for transit planning in Chittenden County.
• Regional Technical Assistance: This includes, but is not limited to, municipal technical assistance for
various transportation issues, GIS mapping, and bylaw revisions, Act 250/Section 248 application
reviews, grant administration and grant application assistance for plans, federal grant assistance,
projects and initiatives at the local level.
• Transportation Demand Management (TDM): CCRPC and VTrans managed the second year of Park Your
CARbon, formerly the Way to Go! Challenge. This outreach and education program encourages
sustainable transportation by demonstrating the environmental and financial benefits of non-single
occupant vehicle travel. The CCRPC participated in CATMA’s inaugural Transportation Summit and their
Transportation Coordinator (TC) Network program and events to learn from other TC Network members
about employee TDM benefits and programs. TDM partners include: the Chittenden Area
Transportation Management Association (CATMA), CarShare VT, the University of Vermont, Green
Mountain Transit (GMT), Local Motion, Bird Bikeshare, Go! Vermont/VTrans, NetZero Vermont/Walk to
Shop, and United Way.
• Walk/Bike Planning: The CCRPC completed the 2022 Regional Active Transportation Plan (ATP), which
serves as the active transportation element of the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).
The ATP includes a recommended regional network with prioritized project list, as well as programs and
policies to support active transportation throughout the region. CCRPC staff collaborated with TDM
partners and local municipalities to relaunch the regional bikeshare program. The CCRPC also promoted
TDM strategies and provided bike/ped-related technical assistance to municipalities and businesses,
assisted municipalities with bike/ped grant and UPWP applications, managed bike/ped-related UPWP

Committee and provide guidance to the State on disposition of the Vermont Clean Water Fund. CCRPC
staff also sit on the Lake Champlain Sea Grant Program Advisory Committee, and managed Design
Implementation Block Grant projects on behalf of select towns to design stormwater treatment
practices. The CCRPC supported education programs such as the Rethink Runoff on behalf of nine of our
municipalities, assisted with watershed resiliency mapping, and participated in water quality-focused
policy discussions. CCRPC appoints representatives to three different Basin Water Quality Councils which
work with their Clean Water Service Providers (CWSP) to oversee the development and implementation
of non-regulatory water quality improvement projects that reduce phosphorus loading into these
streams and Lake Champlain. These three Councils are the Basin 5 Water Quality Council (BWQC) for the
Northern Lake Champlain Direct Drainages, the Basin 7 Water Quality Council for the Lamoille River
watershed and the Basin 8 Water Quality Council for the Winooski watershed. South Burlington is in
Basins 5 and 8. Additionally, CCRPC is the designated CWSP for Basin 5.
• Emergency Management: CCRPC continued to staff the Regional Emergency Management Committee
(REMC) which consists of two representatives from each municipality and others involved in emergency
management in Chittenden County. The purpose of the REMC is to coordinate and support regional all-
hazard emergency planning and preparedness activities to improve the region’s ability to prepare for,
respond to, and recover from all disasters. CCRPC staff participate in a wide array of emergency
management-related workshops and exercises to support our role in the State Emergency Operations
Center (SEOC) when called upon. The CCRPC served as the local liaison between municipalities and the
state to collect damage assessment information after significant storm events, helped with emergency
preparedness for hazardous materials incidents, collected information from each municipality on annual
implementation of hazard mitigation activities, and worked with municipalities to complete Local
Emergency Management Plans. Finally, CCRPC assisted IEM, a national consulting firm, with completion
of the 2022 Chittenden County Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazards Mitigation Plan and its municipal annexes
except for Colchester which developed its own stand-alone Local Hazards Mitigation Plan.

staff continued to work with all Chittenden County municipalities on meeting their MRGP obligations.
This includes evaluating segments through Road Erosion Inventories (REIs), tracking and documenting
upgraded segments and outlets, and reporting to DEC (see REI dashboard here, click on upper right for
individual municipalities). Staff also assists municipalities with the State’s Grants in Aid (GIA) program,
which allocates funding to participating towns for stormwater improvements related to the MRGP. In
FY23, 14 Chittenden County municipalities signed up to participate in the GIA program. An estimated 33
non-compliant segments will be upgraded using the allocated $410,000.
• Health Equity: A grant from the Vermont Department of Health enabled CCRPC to work with all the
RPCs in the state and Vermont Health Department staff to create the Vermont Health Equity Planning
Toolkit. CCRPC hosted a training on the healthy equity toolkit for the Planning Advisory Committee,
shared health equity project information with the CCRPC’s Equity Advisory Committee (EAC) and will
work with the EAC as part of toolkit implementation. CCRPC staff also developed an online Chittenden
County Equity Mapping Tool showing a collection of maps on race, disability, poverty status, and English
ability.
• Traffic Alert: CCRPC compiled and sent out 32 traffic alerts about activities impacting traffic in
Chittenden County over 8 months (no alerts January-March).
• Chittenden County Park and Ride Plan Update: This plan identifies opportunities for improvements to
the existing facilities and evaluates the potential for new facilities that will benefit commuters and
residents throughout Chittenden County and the adjacent communities. The final plan was completed in
7 | P a g e S e p t e m b e r 2 0 2 3
October 2022.
• VT Culverts: The VT Culverts website can be used to view a town's bridges and culverts on a map, or in a
chart based on condition or inventory date. CCRPC staff is one of two RPCs that manage the website. VT
Culverts continues to gain traction in our region and throughout the state. At the end of June, 9 of our
municipalities have actively used VT Culverts to inventory town-maintained bridges and culverts.
• Chittenden County Communications Union District (CUD): CCRPC assisted the CUD as they started up to
plan, contract, build, and manage infrastructure for high-speed internet access throughout Chittenden
County. Mission Broadband was hired for consulting and project management services in June.
• Northwest VT Transit Oriented Development (TOD): CCRPC received a grant from the US Department
of Transportation in the fall 2022 to develop comprehensive plans for transit-oriented development for
up to 12 communities across a five-county region in Northwest Vermont. The grant funding will also
support planning work to improve bus services and/or commuter rail to connect economically
disadvantaged rural residents to employment opportunities and services. Work will begin in late 2023.
• Chittenden County I-89 2050 Study: The CCRPC, in collaboration with VTrans, municipalities, and other
interested parties, completed the I-89 2050 Study in late 2022. The study developed an implementation
plan that will guide short, medium, and long-term transportation improvements to the corridor over the
next 30 years.
• Chittenden County Brownfields Program: In May 2023, CCRPC secured a competitive EPA grant of
$500,000 for Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Planning over the next four years to aid property
owners, potential developers and municipalities in investigating environmental issues before potential
property redevelopment. The CCRPC has also received $50,000 from ACCD in May 2023 for site
assessment and cleanup planning with the potential to receive additional funds if more sites are
identified needing such assistance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: South Burlington City Council
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
RE: Charter Change – Increase the Number of School Board Members to Seven
DATE: For December 18, 2023 City Council Meeting
You have asked that we prepare for your consideration an amendment to the City’s Charter to
increase the number of South Burlington School District Board members to seven. This
Memorandum outlines the requirements that must be followed to amend the City Charter to
accomplish this and provides the recommended amended Charter language to be proposed.
Background
In accordance with the City Charter and State of Vermont Statutes, the current number of School
Board members is five. Prior to amending the City Charter to increase the number of School
Board members to seven, the City must abide by the requirements of 17 V.S.A. §2645. Such
requirements include: 1) a proposal to amend the Charter (“Proposal”) must be made by the City
Council at a public meeting; 2) two public hearings to consider the Proposal must be noticed and
held; 3) the Proposal to amend the Charter must be placed on the annual City meeting ballot; and
4) the legal voters of the City of South Burlington must vote to approve the Proposal at the
annual City meeting.
Proposal
A) Proposed Charter Amendment. Working with the South Burlington School District and their
attorney, we have put together a proposal that edits one existing section of the City Charter and
adds an entirely new section. Accordingly, the proposed amendment to the City Charter to
increase the number of School Board members to seven is as follows:
§301. Officers; general provisions
The officers of the City of South Burlington shall be those provided by
law for towns, except as otherwise provided by this charter. The officers shall
have all the powers and duties necessary to carry out the provisions of this charter
as well as those provided by law. The offices of Fence Viewer, Weigher of Coal,
and Inspector of Lumber shall be abolished.
(1) The officers of the South Burlington School District shall continue
to be those provided by law for school or school districts, except as otherwise
provided by this charter; provided, however, that the School Directors shall hold
no other School District or City office with the exception of the Board of Civil
Authority, the Board of Abatement, and as provided otherwise in this charter.
When a vacancy occurs on the Board of School Directors, the remaining members
of the Board may fill the vacancy until the next annual meeting when the School
District shall fill the vacancy.
(2) The Council by majority vote of all its members shall appoint
annually the City Treasurer, whose office shall be no longer elective, and the City
Attorney, Zoning Administrator, Auditor First and Second Constable, Grand Juror,
and Trustee of Public Funds.
(3) [Repealed.]
§311. Board of School Directors; number; terms of office; election
(a) There shall be a Board of School Directors consisting of seven members.
(b) Four members shall have terms of office of three years; three members
shall have terms of office of two years.
(c) All present School Directors shall serve as Directors until the expiration of
their terms. and their successors have been duly elected and have qualified.
(d) On the first Tuesday in March, 2025, the voters shall elect, from among
the legal voters of the city, two members for terms of three years and two
members for terms of two years. On the first Tuesday in March, 2026, one
member for a term of three years and one member for a term of two years shall be
elected. Thereafter, the election of school directors shall be for the length of the
term of the member whose term is expiring.
(e) All Board of School Directors shall be elected at large.
B) Notice and Public Vote. The first of two public hearings to consider this Proposal must be
held at least thirty days prior to the public vote. Both public hearings require notice be posted in
at least two public places and in the City Clerk’s office at least thirty and not more than forty
days prior to the hearing and be published in the Other Paper at least five days prior to the
hearing. Accordingly, to satisfy these requirements, the proposed schedule for the two public
hearings and public vote to consider the proposed Charter change is as follows:
1) First public hearing: January 22, 2024 Special City Council meeting; and
2) Second public hearing: January 29, 2024 Special City Council meeting; and
3) Public Vote: March 5, 2024 Annual City Meeting.
Recommendation
Motion: That the City Council moves forward for the public’s consideration the proposed
amendment to the South Burlington City Charter, sets public hearings to consider the proposed
amendment for January 22, 2024 and January 29, 2024, directs the City administration to comply
with the notice and other requirements of 17 V.S.A. §2645, and resolves that after the public
hearings and any revisions to the language, the City Council may take a vote that the proposed
amendment be placed on the ballot of the annual City meeting to be held on March 5, 2024.

MEMORANDUM
To: Jessie Baker, City Manager
From: Steven Locke, on behalf of the Project Team
Date: December 8, 2023
Re: Rental registration and Short-Term Rental Ordinance Draft
As a follow up to the November 6, 2023, City Council presentation regarding the creation of a rental registry, the project team has updated the draft ordinance to address the outstanding concerns of the Council. The updated ordinance is now available for further consideration. The project team amended the draft ordinance to include:
• Changing the annual fee for permanently affordable units to $25 per unit.
• Increase rental registration fee for non-owner-occupied units currently (i.e. prior to enaction of the ordinance) being used as a short-term rental to $1,500 annually.
• Allows existing non-owner-occupied units being used as short-term rentals (prior to enaction of the ordinance) to continue through April 1, 2028.
• Removes the exemption of congregate care facilities.
• Clari�ies that violations of the Ordinance for unreasonable noise, Section 6(l), only applies to Short Term Rentals Once the Council is satis�ied with the draft proposal, the next step is to hold a �irst reading of the ordinance and warn a public hearing.
Space Planning As previously discussed, there is a strategic advantage to co-locating our Fire Prevention and Fire Suppression teams as there is shared learning and understanding about our physical structures that will improve the health and safety of our neighbors. Additionally, as discussed, we have received cost estimates for an addition to the north side of Fire Station 1 that would accommodate both the entire Prevention Division, including the staff for the new rental registry/inspection team. It is estimated the project costs for this additional space would be approximately 1.3 million and 1.8 million dollars. To present a reasonable, �inancially sustainable path forward to cover both the new operational and capital construction cost, the project team recommends the following for your consideration.
• Use up to $500,000 of fund balance or ARPA for capital construction cost.
• Authorized an interfund loan up to 1.2 million for capital construction costs to be repaid through rental registry fees over the next 10 years.
• Create a special fund to receive revenues and expenses for the rental registry program. The table below describes how the revenue, expense, assistance fund and loan payment is being estimated over the next 10 years to support both the construction and the operational costs. These projections are based on the estimated number of units currently occupied increased at a two percent growth rate, and the new personnel expenses for the program increased at a three percent growth rate annually. Additionally, revenue is based on $150 per market rate unit and $25 for each affordable rate unit. Five dollars of each market rate unit registry fee would be assigned to the assistance fund. Year Affordable Rate Units Market Rate Units Short Term Units Revenue Expenses Assistance Fund Loan Payment Loan Balance 2024 900 2500 65 $495,000 $289,500 $12,500 $193,000 $1,007,000 2025 918 2550 33 $454,200 $295,290 $12,750 $146,160 $860,840 2026 936 2601 16 $437,934 $301,196 $13,005 $123,733 $737,107 2027 955 2653 8 $434,018 $307,220 $13,265 $113,533 $623,574 2028 974 2706 0 $430,267 $313,364 $13,530 $103,372 $520,202 2029 994 2760 0 $438,872 $319,631 $13,801 $105,440 $414,762 2030 1014 2815 0 $447,650 $326,024 $14,077 $107,549 $307,213 2031 1034 2872 0 $456,603 $332,545 $14,359 $109,699 $197,514 2032 1054 2929 0 $465,735 $339,195 $14,646 $111,893 $85,620 2033 1076 2988 0 $475,049 $345,979 $14,939 $114,131 $(28,511) The Finance Director has spoken with the city auditors and con�irmed that an interfund loan is acceptable for this application. The project team thanks you for your consideration and looks forward to discussing this with you.
Residential Rental Unit Registration Requirements
The Council of the City of South Burlington hereby Ordains:
1. Purpose and Authority.
This Ordinance is enacted to promote the public health, safety and welfare of the City under the
authority granted to it by 24 V.S.A. §2291 and Sections 103-104 of the South Burlington City
Charter. Due to an ongoing increase in the number of rental dwelling units in the City of South
Burlington, continued and projected population growth in the City, the aging of some of the
City’s housing stock, and the existing and potential future conversion of permanent housing into
short-term accommodations, the Council hereby finds that the regulation of rental dwelling units
is necessary to maintain and protect the public health, safety and welfare of the City and its
residents. This Ordinance is intended to provide a process:
• through which dwelling units used for rental housing must be registered with the City of
South Burlington for use as long-term or short-term rentals;
• to disclose the ownership of such rental properties;
• to regulate the renting of dwelling units within the City;
• to make owners and persons responsible for the maintenance of property more accessible
and accountable with respect to the premises;
• to ensure that housing units remain available for rent to those who reside or seek to
reside within the City;
• to ensure that the City is not unduly impacted by the operation of short-term rentals; and
• to ensure that owners and tenants of rental dwelling units comply with all building,
health and fire safety codes and ordinances adopted by the City of South Burlington.
This Ordinance shall constitute a civil ordinance within the meaning of 24 V.S.A. Chapter 59.
2. Definitions.

for thirty (30) or more consecutive days.
Multi-Unit shall mean a single, detached building in common ownership interest containing
more than one (1) residential or commercial unit.
Owner-Occupied shall mean a rental unit owned and occupied by the registrant as his or her

Owner shall mean each individual person or entity including, without limitation, all partners,
officers, or trustees of any real estate trust; all members or managers of a limited liability
company; and all officers and directors of a corporation; that is the record owner of a building or

for more than one half of a year and registers as his or her address for tax and government
identification purposes.
Registrant shall mean the owner of a rental unit, or a tenant, with permission from the owner,
seeking to register a rental unit.
Rental Unit is any residential structure, furnished house, condominium, or other dwelling room
or self-contained dwelling unit, or portion thereof, that is rented or available for rent to any
individual or individuals for any length of time. Any portion of a dwelling unit or accessory
dwelling unit that is rented or available to be rented to an individual or individuals who are not

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: Martha Machar, Finance Director
Jessie Baker, City Manager
Date: December 13, 2023
Re: Council Financial Requests
Five Year Data Requests
The FY22 budget was built during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council provided guidance for no
more than 1% increase in the tax rate. In order to meet this important Council goal and our contractual
obligations, seven vacant positions were not funded and capital projects funding was significantly
reduced.
While important for the pandemic financial planning at the time, these FY22 budget cuts created
challenges going into the FY23 and FY24 budgets. The COVID-19 pandemic also brought different
kinds of challenges such as increases in prices of goods and services, difficulty with recruitment and
retention, and new service expectations from the community.
To dig out of COVID-19 pandemic budget reductions and in order to provide pre-COVID-19 pandemic
level of services, the following steps were taken.
• Restored unfunded FY22 vacancies in FY23 and continuing through FY26.
• Increased travel and training budgets to catch up with annual mandatory trainings deferred
during COVID-19.
• Build back the investment in capital improvement project general fund funding capacity. This
included the creation of the Deputy Director of Public Works for Capital Projects position. This
was an important position added in FY23 to link our capital investments to long-term
maintenance needs and reflect the increased service expectations of the community.
In addition to these challenges, we have a growing city which has resulted in increased demand for
services. Increase in demand for services increases the need for resources to provide timely responses. In
the last few years, the Council and community have made the following investments.
• In July 2021 we moved into 180 Market Street and a greatly expanded Library and physical plant
demands. In the FY22 and subsequent budgets we have increased positions by six to expand
hours of the Library and appropriately maintain this community hub.
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4112 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
• Additionally, with the move to 180 Market Street and the increase focused on on-line services
and remote options coming out of the pandemic, we increased our investment in technology
services in FY23 by adding a staff person, implementing Office 365 and multifactor
identification, and implementing body worn and cruiser camera technology.
• In FY24 we invested in both a Deputy Police Chief and a Deputy Fire Chief to meet operational
demands and succession planning needs.
• And, the FY24 and FY25 budgets include standing up a second ambulance. This added 6 new
staff starting mid-fiscal year and the expenses are fully embedded into the FY25 budget.
At your request, attached is a five-year comparison of multiple data points as they relate to budget. This
includes the general fund total budget amounts, non-property tax revenues, property tax revenues, the
grand list, and tax rates. The tax rate data included here is the total municipal tax rate which includes
penny for paths and penny for open spaces. The FY25 budget included in this data is the policy budget.
Also included in this data is the health insurance budgets, office supplies, travel and training budget
lines, and CPI increases. It is important to note that the city transitioned from group health insurance
through Cigna to a captive self-insurance model in the middle of FY21. FY22 was the first full year of
being self-insured. By being self-insured, annual increases are based on actual claims. The actual health
insurance payment was down in FY21 and FY22 which led to lower than industry increases for the last
few years. Claims were higher in FY23, hence the significant increase in the FY25 budget.

A Capital Improvement Program is a tool used to improve coordination in the timing of major projects, plan for
capital replacement and major maintenance costs, and reduce fluctuations in the tax rate.
A program is not a budget, but a road map to guide budget preparation based on an estimate of future projects
and costs consistent with City priorities and fiscal outlook. The Capital Improvement Program is prepared
yearly during the budget process but is adopted after the approval of the budget.
A summary of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY25-34 is included in the annual budget book.

This page totals all General Fund capital expenditure (CE) costs by summed by cost types and funding sources annually. Information reflected on this page includes bond payments for prior capital projects. The
City makes cash payments for maintenance and replacement in lieu of debt where possible in order to preserve debt capacity to undertake larger City priorities, i.e. the envisioned City Center. The General Fund
has reserve fund related to capital projects: City Center Reserve Fund, for City Center expenditures. Costs below fall into three categories: project related (studies, property rights, construction, furniture &
equipment), debt (payment on financing) and funding CIP reserve funds. NOTE that this is a program of planned expenditures and revenues and all costs are estimated and time tables are tenative and subject to
change.

Of these projects, two are substantially complete, and four remain to be constructed: Garden Street (expected to be in construction), Williston Road Streetscape, the Walk Bike Bridge over I‐89, and Phase II of City Center Park (expected to be in construction prior to FY 25).

These funds have been carried forward to cover the cost of construction activities in FY24. The current estimate suggests that more funding will be necessary to cover project costs.We do not believe that this project will increase the burden on staff resources unless the charging stations require additional management.Estimated Revenue Per Year: NoneSTATUS: An engineer was retained in FY24. We anticipate construction to take place in late FY24 into FY25. DESCRIPTION: Add a garage bay off the south end of the public works building for indoor equipment storage. Add electric vehicle charging stations at DPW so that our fleet can be electrified.Project is needed to house our expanding fleet and protect equipment from the elements. In order for DPW to move forward with items in the Climate Action Plan we will need EV charging stations.Estimated Annual Operating Cost:Increases in electrical utility costs will be offset by reduction in gas/diesel fuel use. Maintenance of the charging stations will be ~$4,000 / year so a line item increase (or creation) will be necessary.

The Library's Foundation will solicit inkind and monetary grants and sponsorships. This project will also benefit from a crowdfunding campaign that engages residents for smaller amounts. The Friends of the Libray have already set aside funds for the project and will assist by collecting book donations and funding popular titles. This vehicle needs staff to operate and reach as many locations as is needed. I suggest a full time Specialist ($70k yearly).Estimated Revenue Per Year:STATUS: The Library expects our growing older population plus our youngest residents in daycare, to need book delivery service. The van is specially designed and would take 9‐12 months to build. The Board of Trustees and the Director have determined that the libray focus should currently remain on doing outreach to bring people in to the library. But demographics and an emphasis on service parity lead them to recommend that this project be revisited for the FY 27 budget. Depending on the schedule of stops, the book van could be designed to allow the Recreation Dept. to use it during off hours to take fitness and recreation materials to parks and events. DESCRIPTION: A van with removable carts allowing the Library to get materials into the community. The Book Van has been included in the Board's long term plans and has been included in the CIP for several years. A book van is essential to equity, allowing us to reach out to diverse communities who may not be able to get to the libray or the senior center. The Library would target daycare centers, senior living, immigrant communities and outreach events. The quote from 2022 includes an auxiliary battery bank charged off of alternator so the van can have some power when van isn’t on, instead of a gas generator, in keeping with our Climate Action plan. The emphasis on mobile service to underserved populations makes this a very relevant project down the road.Estimated Annual Operating Cost:Gas, staffing and maintenance will lead to an estimated annual operating cost of $72,000, increasing incrementally as the vehicle ages.

Re: Climate Action Implementation Plan for Transportation Update
On September 14, 2022, you received a presentation from City Manager Jessie Baker on the Climate
Action Implementation Plans (CAIPs) for the Transportation and Land Use, Government Operations, and
Buildings and Thermal sectors. Work on the CAIP for Transportation and Land Use began in November
2022 with funding and technical support from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission
(CCRPC) and the consultant team from VHB.
Project Background
This effort has primarily involved development of step-by-step plans for implementing the 10 High
Impact Actions (and 1 Supporting Action which was deemed high impact by the Advisory Group) that were
included in the 2022 Climate Action Plan (CAP). The plans for each action identify the lead City department,
key partners and stakeholders, steps for implementation, equity considerations, opportunities for innovation,
and relevant case studies. The remaining 14 Supporting Actions are structured in a matrix which provides a
higher-level overview of the information presented in the High Impact Action plans. The last component of
this effort is a memorandum outlining proven and promising practices in land use policy and planning to
encourage high-density mixed-use development, as called for in the CAP.
The CAIP has been developed in coordination with an Advisory Group (AG) appointed by the City
Manager which includes representatives from City Committees, Green Mountain Transit, Green Mountain
Power, Drive Electric Vermont, Chittenden Area Transportation Management Association, Local Motion,
Vermont Interfaith Action, and Cathedral Square. These organizations represent experts in local policy,
technical specialties, education, and advocacy. The AG has convened 3 times over the course of the project
and has provided feedback on all High Impact Action implementation plans. Input was also gathered from
the public using an online questionnaire (which received 269 responses), and 2 focus groups.

Staffing Estimates
In coordination with the project team, the Consultant has developed a staffing estimate for each of
the 24 actions based on approximate yearly hours required to complete the implementation steps. The
staffing time was broken out into: (1) Scoping, Planning, Funding, and Design; and (2) Bids, Procurement,
Construction, and Maintenance for FY24 – FY31. The hourly estimates were translated into Full-Time
Equivalents (FTEs) and are summarized in Table 1, organized by the overarching pathways under which
each action falls. The highest new workload is anticipated to occur in FY28 and has been estimated to be 4.4
FTEs. Assuming that 1 FTE is approximately $115,000 per year in the City’s budget, 4.4 FTEs is would cost
$506,000 which would need to be added to the City’s budget by FY28.
Table 1: New FTE Estimate by CAP Pathway from FY24 – FY31
Cost Estimates
As shown in the attached Implementation Plans and Supporting Action Matrix, costs associated with
each action were scored from 1 – 5 (1: Less than $100,000; 2: $100,000 - $500,000; 3: $500,000 -
$1,000,000; 4: $1,000,000 - $5,000,000; 5: More than $5,000,000). Based on these scores, we have assigned a
cost as described in Table 2. All Supporting Actions, except Bike/Ped Infrastructure Maintenance, fell in the
lowest cost category, which is estimated at $50,000. Bike/Ped maintenance was estimated at $250,000.

Table 2: Cost Estimates for High Impact Actions
The costs for each action have been assigned to a fiscal year using the FTE estimates as an
approximation of the portion of the total cost spent each year. Based on this, the estimates for FTE and
project costs for FY24 – FY31 are presented in Table 3. As previously mentioned, 1 FTE is estimated to cost
$115,000. The breakdown of all actions is attached to this memo. Costs are anticipated to increase steadily
between FY24 and F27 (peaking at $4,550,000) and then slowly decreasing and leveling off in FY31. These
costs are primarily associated with Capital Projects required to complete each action. These costs would be
used for studies and project designs completed by consultants, construction projects, and project
management.
Table 3: Yearly Cost Estimates by FTE and Project Costs
The completed Transportation and Land Use CAIP will be presented to the City Manager for final
approval after a final public meeting and review by the project team. After receiving that approval, staff will
be presenting City Council with budget and CIP recommendations and seek guidance on appropriately
allocating funding to each action.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Step 1: Enact EVSE Charging Policies
A. Hire a consultant to analyze the current and projected EV charging network capabilities and
needs amongst the City’s multi-family developments.
B. Understanding these capabilities and needs, review the City’s existing Land Development
Regulations (LDRs) to ensure they appropriately include specific allowances, regulations, and
incentives (e.g., density bonuses, priority parking) for EV charging stations. Ensure that siting
standards, including ADA accessibility, fire protection, and other traffic safety features, are
adequately addressed in the City’s codes and ordinances. Ensure this is aligned with CAP Action
T.1.2.
C. Offer expedited permitting and inspection processes for existing multi-family property owners
proposing to install residential, workplace, or public charging stations. Ensure this is aligned with
CAP Action T.1.2.
D. Explore supporting a state, or enacting a local, “right-to-charge” policy that would require
HOAs/property managers to consider reasonable requests for adding EV charging.
Step 2: Develop and Distribute a ‘Guide to EV Charging in Existing Multi-Family Developments’
A. Engage owners and residents of multi-family developments to understand and document their
questions and concerns related to EVSE procurement, installations, and operations.
2 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
3
B. Work with GMP and DEV to develop a reference document that addresses these questions and
concerns, as well as provides practical implementation guidance (e.g., conducting a building
level EVSE needs assessment). Refer to relevant resources provided by the Alternative Fuels
Data Center available at: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_multi.html.
C. Engage the target audiences to build awareness of this guidance document and explain its
purpose and applications. Conduct this engagement through targeted workshops and/or
roadshows. Ensure the document is readily accessible in both digital and printed formats.
D. Plan for regular updates to ensure the guidance document is current based on the latest
regulations and other requirements, funding sources, and technologies, amongst other
considerations.
Step 3: Form a City EVSE Technical Assistance Team
A. Using the City’s Stormwater Utility as a model, develop a team of staff that can perform direct
outreach to encourage property owners to install EVSE as well as provide on-call support to
those that decide to proceed with an EVSE installation.
Step 4: Pilot a Program that Allows EV Owners to Charge EVs Across the Public Sidewalk
B. Establish the goals and objectives of the pilot program, aligned with the problem and needs it
aims to address.
C. Prepare a detailed plan for the execution and evaluation of the pilot program (e.g., scope,
timeline, required resources, and performance indicators). In this plan, include any partnerships
necessary, for example, with multi-family property owners and GMP.
D. Work with partners to secure funding for the pilot program.
E. Prepare program guidelines, requirements, and resources aligned with its goals and objectives.
F. Identify and recruit multi-family property owners and EV owners residing in multi-family
developments, particularly where off-street parking is limited, to participate in the pilot
program. Note that this pilot would need to address the City’s winter on-street parking ban.
G. Implement the pilot program. Monitor its effectiveness, including through participant and other
stakeholder feedback, and refine it as necessary.
H. At the close of the pilot, analyze its impact and outcomes, and decide whether to scale the pilot
across the City (where appropriate), iterate it to address areas of improvement, or close it out.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Funding can be made available to support EV-Readiness through local match and/or support for
grant applications like the Multiunit Dwelling Electric Vehicle Charging Grant that prioritizes
affordable housing developments.
• Networked charging stations are capable of robust data collection, which could assist multi-
family property owners in understanding when and how often their EVSE is utilized as well as to
4
quickly identify and troubleshoot maintenance issues. However, these are more expensive to
own and maintain than non-networked charging stations.
• Integrated load management software enables power output/charging speed reductions during
times when the regional electrical grid is stressed. Such software could be applied to minimize
the need for multi-family property owners to upgrade upstream electrical infrastructure and
help avoid peak demand charges (applicable to EVSE tied to a meter with a commercial rate).
• Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or other V2X bidirectional charging technologies could allow EVs to send
power back to the grid during times of peak power demand. Alternatively, such technology
could be utilized to make multi-family developments more resilient during power outages.
• New EVSE installations could be coupled with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and/or renewable
energy financing to increase the composition of clean energy the EVs consume.
• New EVSE installations could be coupled with battery storage capabilities to provide back-up
power to the charging stations and/or the buildings in which they are contained.
• Along with EVs, electric bikes (e-bikes) are growing in popularity. E-bikes provide another, more
convenient way to travel longer distances than are readily accessible by walking, especially for
persons with mobility limitations. Incorporation of charging infrastructure for e-bikes can
support the growth of this zero or low emission mode type.
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• The costs of EVSE installations and maintenance are likely to be passed onto residents through
either minimum use fees, higher than approved GMP charging rates, or amenity fees.
Accordingly, the City should explore mechanisms – perhaps requiring a change to the City’s
Charter – that would place limits on such cost pass-throughs to minimize having them impact
low-income households disproportionately.
• Robust usage of EV charging stations will depend, in part, on the availability of standardized,
multi-language signage and education.
• The deployment of EVSE should consider that more affordable, used EVs may have less
prevalent connector types (e.g., CHAdeMO).
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Property Owner/HOA Engagement
The success of this CAP action is dependent on the support and contributions of owners and property
managers of multi-family properties as well as HOAs. Accordingly, engage these stakeholders early the
implementation of the above-described steps, where appropriate. In doing so, convey the common
purpose of these steps and their benefits. Address perceptions of added costs directly by placing EVSE in
the context of available incentives and potential cost recovery.
5
Electrical Grid Capacity
Property owners may need to coordinate with GMP to ensure that EVSE installations are feasible with
respect to local utility infrastructure, baseload electricity supply, and upstream safety considerations
(e.g., compliance with fire codes). This can be accomplished by requesting an “ability to serve” letter
from the utility. The City may need to provide special allowances to accommodate site capacity
constraints.
Charging Standards
New charging stations in multi-family developments should consider the various Level 2 connectors
available, including CHAdeMO and J1772. Further, the U.S. DOT recently released National Electric
Vehicle Infrastructure Standards and Requirements applicable to EV charging stations supported by
federal funds. Consider emerging standards, such as the megawatt charging system (MCS).
Municipal Inspections and Training
Infrastructure associated with EV-Capable, EVSE-Ready, and EVSE-Installs will require specialized training
for municipal staff carrying out new building and fire inspections.
Charging Session Fees
Owners of existing multi-family buildings will need to establish fee structures for occupant use of
installed EV charging stations. As it may not be possible or advantageous to connect individual EVSE to
unit electricity meters, if choosing to charge consumption fees, developers could install electrical
metering devices at the charging stations themselves or invest in stations that have the ability to collect
payments. Alternatively, they could enact a flat or scaled rate for persons using the charging stations.
ADA Compliance
Multi-family property owners should be made aware that current ADA guidance points to the need for
accessible EV charging spaces, but notes that they cannot count toward required ADA spaces. The City
should track and share evolving regulations, as well as consider recommending charging stations be
installed at planned ADA spaces as well as making EV charging spaces ADA-compliant but not exclusive.
CASE STUDIES:
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
Chelan, WA and City of Atlanta, GA – Removed barriers to EV adoption within the city codes.
Quincy, WA – Provides density bonuses for the installation of EVSE.
6
City of Orlando, FL and City of Atlanta, GA – Developed guidebooks on “EV Readiness” that provide
locally-relevant information on EVSE deployment (e.g., installation best practices, incentives,
regulations, etc.)
San Diego, CA – Worked with property owners to install curbside EVSE in front of multi-family
developments.
City of Cambridge, MA – Approved a pilot program to allow residents without access to a driveway or
off-street parking the ability to cross public sidewalks to charge their EVs. Participants must obtain a
permit for the activity, and are required to provide an accessible ramp over the cord to ensure the
sidewalk remains accessible for pedestrians.
EQUITY APPROACH
Seattle, Washington - Explores removing barriers to EV adoption by increasing access to charging
infrastructure.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Step 1: Establish Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)-Ready Space Targets
A. Engage a consultant to understand the level of EV charging required in new construction to
meet the established CAP target of replacing 75% of gas vehicles with EVs and plug-in hybrid
vehicles.
B. Coordinate with VTrans to understand the statewide EV adoption curve through 2030 and work
with the consultant to scale that down to the local level.
C. Using the findings of Steps 1.A and 1.B, work with DEV to develop EV-Capable, EVSE-Ready, and
EVSE-Installed space targets by land use type and charging level (i.e., Level 1 [AC], Level 2 [AC],
Level 3 [DC Fast Charge]). Refer to the Case Studies section below for examples of how other
communities set their own space targets.
Step 2: Build upon the Residential Building Energy Standards (RBES) Stretch and Commercial Building
Energy Standard (CBES) Codes
A. Update the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to include the EV-Capable, EVSE-Ready,
and EVSE-Installed space targets defined under Step 1. Ensure that targets for new multi-family
developments comprising between 2 and 10 dwelling units are included, as this is a
development type that is not currently covered by the RBES. Note that amendments to the RBES
have been proposed, which would increase requirements to one Level 2 capable EV charging
parking space per dwelling unit and then 25% of any remaining spaces not utilized by dwelling
units.4 These amendments are expected to become effective in July 2024.

Step 3: Evaluate and Implement Municipal Incentives to Support EV-Readiness
A. Explore reducing permitting fees and/or expediting permit approvals.
B. Develop criteria for exceedances and related permit fee reductions and/or expedited approvals
based on building and land use types.
Step 4: Monitor EV Adoption Rates and Revise LDR Space Targets As Necessary
A. As market conditions for EVs are continuously evolving, regularly monitor local EV adoption
rates to ensure the LDR space targets remain appropriate. An accelerating EV adoption curve
may necessitate further LDR amendments.
Step 5: Leverage the City’s EVSE Technical Assistance Team (Planned as part of T.1.1)
A. Utilize the City’s EVSE Technical Assistance Team to support proponents of new construction
with EVSE installations and navigating the outcomes of Steps 2 through 4, as applicable.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Funding can be made available to support EV-Readiness through local match and/or support for
grant applications like the Multiunit Dwelling Electric Vehicle Charging Grant that prioritizes
affordable housing developments.
• The City could partner with property developers to allow for the installation of curbside/on-
street EV charging stations. This could support CAP Action T.2.11 (Parking Management).
• Networked charging stations are capable of robust data collection, which could assist
developers in understanding when and how often their EVSE is utilized as well as to quickly
identify and troubleshoot maintenance issues. However, these are more expensive to own and
maintain than non-networked charging stations.
• Integrated load management software enables power output/charging speed reductions during
times when the regional electrical grid is stressed. Such software could be applied to minimize
the need for developers to upgrade upstream electrical infrastructure and help avoid peak

minimum use fees, higher than approved GMP charging rates, and amenity fees. Accordingly,
the City should explore mechanisms that place limits on these cost pass-throughs.
• Robust usage of EV charging stations will depend, in part, on the availability of standardized,
multi-language signage and education.
• The deployment of EVSE should consider that more affordable, used EVs may have less
prevalent connector types (e.g., CHAdeMO).
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Developer Community Support
Engage developer stakeholders early in the development and adoption of new LDRs for their ideas on
implementation. In the process, overcome potential apprehension regarding new requirements and
associated costs by developing a common understanding of purpose and benefits driving the new
codifications, as well as education on implementation with tangible examples (see Case Studies).
Address perceptions of added costs directly by placing EV-Readiness in the context of overall
development costs, additional costs for retrofits, available incentives, and potential cost recovery.
Parking Management
The City may receive feedback related to the management of dedicated EV parking spaces, particularly
early on when demand for such spaces may be low. This can be particularly problematic in combination
with developing parking maximums (Action T.2.11). Phasing in space targets can mitigate this issue to an
extent. However, the City could also work with the developer community to identify short-term
workarounds, for example, dedicating spaces to EVs only during certain times of the day.
Electrical Grid Capacity
The City should coordinate with GMP to ensure that the LDR targets are feasible with respect to local
utility infrastructure, baseload electricity supply, and upstream safety considerations (e.g., compliance
with fire codes). Note that specific sites may need to conduct their own coordination by requesting an
“ability to serve” letter from GMP.
Charging Standards
New charging stations should consider the various connectors available, including CHAdeMO, J1772, CCS
Type 1, and Tesla/NACS. Further, the U.S. DOT recently released National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
5
Standards and Requirements applicable to EV charging stations supported by federal funds. Consider
emerging standards, such as the megawatt charging system (MCS).
Municipal Inspections and Training
Infrastructure associated with EV-Capable, EVSE-Ready, and EVSE-Installs will require specialized training
for municipal staff carrying out new building and fire inspections. Such training should also address the
RBES stretch and CBES codes more broadly.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Design Capacity
Ensure consistency between the LDR targets for EV-Capable, EVSE-Ready, and EVSE-Installs with any
existing (e.g., LDR-23-01) or new requirements for on-site solar PV generation. EV charging loads should
be appropriately considered in system design.
Charging Session Fees
Developers will need to establish fee structures for occupant use of installed EV charging stations. As it
may not be possible or advantageous to connect individual EVSE to unit electricity meters, if choosing to
charge consumption fees, developers could install electrical metering devices at the charging stations
themselves or invest in stations that have the ability to collect payments. Alternatively, they could enact
a flat or scaled rate for persons using the charging stations.
ADA Compliance
Current ADA guidance points to the need for accessible EV charging spaces, but notes that they cannot
count toward required ADA spaces. The City should track evolving regulations, as well as consider
recommending charging stations be installed at planned ADA spaces as well as making EV charging
spaces ADA-compliant but not exclusive.
CASE STUDIES:
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
City of Boston, MA – Adopted in 2019, all new development projects that require the Boston
Transportation Department’s TAPA approval and/or the Article 80 Large Project Review must equip 25%
of their total parking spaces to be EV-Installed and the remaining 75% of the total spaces to be EV-
Ready.
Portland, ME – The Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission and Maine Clean
Communities Coalition developed a Municipal EV Readiness Toolkit in 2021 to guide ordinance
development and implementation. In 2022, the City of Portland Technical Manual Transportation
Systems and Street Design Standards implemented updated minimum thresholds for spaces that are EV-
Capable (Level 2 or higher in 20%) and EV-Ready (50%) in new structured or surface parking.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Step 1: Determine Gaps in the Local EV Charging Network
A. Engage CCRPC and/or a Consultant to map the existing, publicly-accessible EV charging network
(by location, level of charging, and ownership) within and proximate to the City’s boundaries.
B. Quantify the required number of publicly-available EVSE of various types by City geographies
(e.g., blocks, neighborhoods). This should be based on the number of expected EVs (i.e.,
75 percent of registered vehicles by 2030), where those EVs are expected to charge (i.e., home,
workplace, or public), how much energy will be required, and average length of charging
sessions.
C. Determine the City geographies where there are gaps in the charging network. These
geographies are likely to coincide with the locations of multi-family housing developments.
Step 2: Identify and Develop Sites for Public EVSE Deployment
A. Within areas with identified gaps in the EV charging network, conduct a geospatial assessment
to determine optimal, publicly-owned properties for new EVSE deployments. Work with GMP
and DEV to develop the evaluation criteria to be used in this analysis. Suggestions for these
criteria include:
I. Level II Charging Stations
i. Sites with high visibility (e.g., near major collector roads and trip generators).
ii. Sites affording low difficulty, cost-effective connections to the electrical grid.
iii. Existing or planned parking facilities that are or will be in high-use.
iv. Sites that have nearby amenities, such as cafés and other retail locations.
2 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
3
II. Level III (DC fast charge) Stations
i. Sites within 1 travel mile of a major highway (i.e., I-89) exit or intersection.
ii. Sites that are publicly accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
iii. Sites near long-range destinations (e.g., hospital facilities, the Patrick Leahy
Burlington International Airport).
iv. Sites that are capable of providing power to the charging station(s) (i.e.,
480 volt, 3-Phase AC-input) and can accommodate their size.
B. Conduct a fatal flaw analysis on the identified sites that could preclude them from EVSE
installations. For example, land use and/or environmental constraints.
C. For sites that pass the fatal flaw analysis, coordinate with GMP to confirm previous assumptions
regarding connections to the electrical grid and assess local infrastructure capacity. Determine
whether infrastructure upgrades are necessary and advantageous.
D. For publicly-owned priority sites, begin a solicitation process to install the EVSE. For privately-
owned priority sites, coordinate with property owners, landlords, and/or tenants and provide
necessary guidance and informational resources to support EVSE installations; explore public-
private partnerships in the process.
Step 3: Build Financial Incentive Programming and Awareness/Education
A. In association with GMP, explore developing new or enhancing existing incentive programming
for EVSE installations, particularly as new funding sources are made available at the federal and
state levels.
B. Investigate City-sourced incentives for EVSE installations (e.g., preferential tax rates) and/or
charging station use (e.g., free charging sessions).
C. Centralize and share information on existing and new incentive programs that offset the cost of
EVSE installations, such as Vermont Community EV Chargers
(https://www.vermontevchargers.com/).
D. Conduct education events within the community, in partnership with GMP and others (as
appropriate), to build awareness and understanding of the available incentives, as well as EVSE
more broadly.
E. Target new incentive programming and education events in areas where there are gaps in the
EV charging network, particularly in areas with disadvantaged populations, where there is high
multi-family development density, and emerging commercial centers.
Step 4: Develop Charging Guidance
A. As necessary, work with GMP and Drive Electric Vermont to update the “Electric Vehicle
Charging Station Guidebook” to provide the public with guidance, information, and resources on
EVSE and EVSE installations. Include in the aforementioned centralized website and education
events.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Networked charging stations are capable of robust data collection, e.g., frequency of use, which
could assist the City in understanding when and how often their EVSE is utilized as well as to
quickly identify and troubleshoot maintenance issues. However, these are more expensive to
own and maintain than non-networked charging stations.
• Integrated load management software enables power output/charging speed reductions during
times when the regional electrical grid is stressed. Such software could be applied to minimize
the need for upstream electrical infrastructure and help avoid peak demand charges (applicable
to EVSE tied to a meter with a commercial rate).
• Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or other V2X bidirectional charging technologies could allow EVs to send
power back to the grid during times of peak power demand.
• Couple EV charging stations with solar panels/canopies and battery storage capabilities for
backup power purposes.
• Curbside charging options, particularly where there are power lines and adequate sidewalk
widths, could support more ubiquitous EVSE availability as well as save money by retrofitting
existing infrastructure (i.e., lamp post) compared to standalone stations.
• Along with EVs, electric bikes (e-bikes) are growing in popularity. E-bikes provide another, more
convenient way to travel longer distances than are readily accessible by walking, especially for
persons with mobility limitations. Incorporation of charging infrastructure for e-bikes at planned
EV charging hubs can support the growth of this zero or low emission mode type, particularly
when they are located along or near bike paths.
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• Lower-income households and households within multi-family housing developments are more
likely to be reliant on publicly accessible charging stations or may not have the ability install
their own charging compared to wealthier, single-family households. The installation of EVSE
that is publicly-accessible or at existing multi-family housing developments should therefore be
prioritized.
• Lower-income EV drivers may be adversely and disproportionately impacted by the cost of
charging, particularly at DC fast chargers, and any future state-mandated road usage fees (i.e.,
mileage-based fees instead of the gas tax). The City should explore policies with GMP and the
Department of Motor Vehicles and/or subsidies that make charging more affordable for these
drivers.
• Robust usage of EV charging stations will depend, in part, on the availability of standardized,
multi-language signage and education.
5
• The deployment of EVSE on publicly owned locations should consider that more affordable,
used EVs may have less prevalent connector types (e.g., CHAdeMO) and slower fast charging
capabilities.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Ownership Options
In developing the public solicitations under Step 2.D, consider the City’s preferred ownership model. In
other words, does the City want to own the EVSE or have third-parties own the systems enabled via
lease. Factors to consider include maintenance responsibilities, revenue sharing, and data sharing.
Site Considerations
For stations at publicly-owned locations, the City should ensure that there is signage and pavement
markings that adequately guide and inform EV drivers to charging stations, particularly from major
highways. Further, the City should take into consideration site safety and evolving ADA requirements
pertaining to EV-dedicated spaces.
Charging Standards
New charging stations should consider the various connectors available, including CHAdeMO, J1772, CCS
Type 1, and Tesla/NACS. Further, the U.S. DOT recently released National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Standards and Requirements applicable to EV charging stations supported by federal funds. Consider
emerging standards, such as the megawatt charging system (MCS).
Community Education
The deployment of new EVSE at publicly-owned locations should be accompanied by an education
campaign to bring awareness to the availability of the new infrastructure and inform potential EV drivers
on their use.
ADA Compliance
Current ADA guidance points to the need for accessible EV charging spaces, but notes that they cannot
count toward required ADA spaces. The City should track evolving regulations, as well as consider
recommending charging stations be installed at planned ADA spaces as well as making EV charging
spaces ADA-compliant but not exclusive.

KEY DEFINITION:
• Microtransit – Form of shared transportation that provides on-demand, flexible transit services
operating within a defined area and typically using vans or minibuses. These services are often
tech-enabled.
KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
Step 1: Support GMT in its development of the Chittenden County Microtransit Feasibility Study, and in
the process, advocate for microtransit services within the City and connecting South Burlington to other
core Chittenden County communities.
A. Participate in GMT’s planning process by serving as a key stakeholder with continuous input
opportunities, particularly related to the identification of service areas, service populations
(special and general), and the identification and evaluation of pilot projects. The evaluation of
pilot projects should include a focus on quantifying VMT reduction benefits and serving
historically disadvantaged communities.
B. Concurrent with Step 1.A, in coordination with GMT, conduct public outreach targeting the City’s
stakeholders (e.g., residents, property owners, businesses, employees) to understand their needs
(e.g., service areas) and barriers to understand where pilot projects or future service(s) should be
targeted.
Step 2: Work with this action’s implementation partners in preparing grant applications to secure funds
to support prioritized pilot project(s) within the City.
A. GMT will need to determine whether they will operate the service or seek a vendor to provide
the service.
Step 3: Once funding is secured, support the implementation and monitoring of the pilot project(s).

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• There may be opportunities to streamline or replace fixed route service with microtransit,
potentially reducing transit costs.
• Costs can be reduced by implementing a volunteer-based microtransit system. However,
organizational needs and oversight of this system could be challenging. In addition, reliance on
volunteer availability and unpaid labor for this vital resource could challenge reliability of
service.
• Vendors continue to update their dispatching and user software to improve matching,
information, dispatch, and overall experience. A request for proposals (RFP) should require
vendors to emphasize the user and operator benefits of their software package and how these
improve workflow, user experience, and save time and/or money.
• There are opportunities to use transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft,
to provide supplemental service, either to reduce crowding at peaks or to replace service in low-
demand hours.
• Right-sizing vehicles based on demand can help to deploy vehicle equipment that does not
require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to operate, expanding opportunities for drivers
without a CDL to operate vans or smaller buses.
• Zero-emission vehicles are available and should be considered for new service as there are
grants to assist with their purchase. This would minimize the carbon impact of new/expanded
services.
o Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging stations could enable electric microtransit fleets to send
power back to the regional grid during times of peak power demand.
FOCUS ON EQUITY:
• Microtransit has the potential to reach a wider range of riders and destinations by providing
service to moderate or low-density areas, allowing more equitable access to jobs and services.
• When implementing microtransit, it is important that service planning consider overall quality of
service for all populations, considering elements such as service span, transfers, response time,
coverage, and accessibility that could change if replacing fixed route service with microtransit.
• Many microtransit implementations require payment via an app or, occasionally, over the
phone, via credit card to eliminate cash transactions. This can disproportionately affect low-
income populations who are less likely to have a credit card or seniors who may be unfamiliar
with or more hesitant to use the technology. Best practice includes the microtransit fares
matching the fixed-route fare policy, including the use of multi-ride passes and fare media.
• Education and the availability of resource materials on new microtransit services will be
important, particularly for senior populations and non-English speakers. A lack of understanding
the new services will be a barrier to ridership.
4
• Public engagements conducted in the development of the Chittenden County Microtransit
Feasibility Study should include focus groups representing disadvantaged populations and follow
the City’s upcoming “equity in planning” outreach toolkit.
• In pursuing micro-transit, the City should also be mindful dilute successful fixed-route transit
services.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• Vehicles, software, drivers, and related support facilities will need to be procured by GMT
and/or a vendor.
o A shortage of drivers may be a prevalent issue. However, depending on the vehicle size
and number of passengers, microtransit drivers often do not need a CDL, which opens
up labor opportunities. Regardless, the City could play a role in driver recruitment and
retention.
• Microtransit works best when coupled with an app on a smart phone but can also work via
phone by offering call-in reservations. Consider smart phone ownership and access to phones
when planning service and costs.
• Service area and average wait times are inversely related to the number of vehicles serving the
area. It will be important to work closely with the service planners to align the areas at the
outset of service so as not to result in excessive wait times while balancing vehicle productivity
and providing a response time that is similar to area fixed-route headways. Flexibility early in
implementation is important as service demand can be hard to predict when implementing a
new service.
• Many of the companies who evaluate microtransit feasibility are also vendors who provide
turnkey operations. This gives them a very strong understanding of the cost and operations
model, but may predispose them to recommend microtransit.
• GMT currently operates a range of vehicle types, including cutaway buses, vans, and minivans.
Its smaller fleet vehicles may be well suited to microtransit services, though such services may
require a fleet expansion and additional maintenance investments. Alternatively, these services
could be vendor contracted.
• Special Services Transportation Agency (SSTA), Senior Van Services, and Age Well may be
potential partners; however, their ability to participate may be constrained due to capacities
and limitations on how they can expend their funding sources.
• Battery electric vehicles are available for suitable vehicle types, but few manufacturers may
offer an appropriate vehicle/chassis. Additionally, range must be carefully considered when
designing the service if an EV is planned to ensure appropriate charging time and battery
buffers given winter reductions in range. Procurement lead times may be longer for EVs than
for traditional vehicles.

o Note that GMT’s Transit Asset Management Plan details replacement plans that
transition its fleet to electric alternatives.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Note: This implementation plan recognizes that encouraging thoughtful higher-density development in
the City has been an ongoing effort of the community for several decades and will continue into the
future. The following steps and considerations below provide recommendations for the next stage of this
work and discourse.
Step 1: Foster Higher Residential Development Density
A. Within the boundaries of the transit overlay (TO) district or similar priority areas, map: (a)
existing residential densities (i.e., housing units per acre) and (b) existing and planned public
transit and bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure and associated levels of service (transit) and stress
(bicycle/pedestrian).
B. Reference available resources and case studies to determine appropriate increases to existing
minimum residential development densities – at least 15 units per acre. Measure these
increases against the outputs of Step 1.A.
C. Explore the various ways that higher density development can physically take shape and
evaluate how these various options can contribute to, and whether they are appropriate for, the
TO district or relevant priority area.
D. Review the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to determine how they currently either
support or inhibit the desired level(s) of residential density. For example, leverage the LDRs to
require a variety of unit sizes and live-work units.
E. Draft LDR amendments to require the type(s) of development that are deficient within and
appropriate for the TO district, as well as to address the opportunities and/or inhibitors
identified under Step 1.D.
2 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
3
Step 2: Incentivize Mixed-Use Developments
A. Review the LDRs to determine how they either support or inhibit mixed-use development in the
TO district. For example, leverage the LDRs to further incentivize infill development, require
active use of street frontages, and right-size parking requirements.
B. Draft LDR amendments that incentivize mixed-use walkable zoning (i.e., a mix of uses within a
single building and across neighboring parcels), addressing the opportunities and/or inhibitors
identified under Step 2.A. For example, establishing pedestrian focused overlay zones, limiting
driveway access points, and providing greater allowances for light industrial uses (e.g., small
scale manufacturing/construction shops).
Step 3: Address Neighborhood Completeness
A. Within the boundaries of the City’s Transit Overlay (TO) district, study neighborhood
completeness. In other words, geographically map key amenities and services (e.g., schools,
open spaces, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc.) and calculate their surrounding walkable and
bikeable areas (i.e., areas accessible within 15 minutes by walking and/or biking). Consider non-
use factors, such as streetscape quality.
B. Using the results of the neighborhood completeness study, identify the amenities and services
that are missing or otherwise deficient within the district.
C. Review the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to determine how they either support or
inhibit complete neighborhood development.
D. Draft LDR amendments that incentivize or require the types of development that are deficient
within the TO district, as well as to address the opportunities and/or inhibitors identified under
Step 3.C.
E. Concurrent with Step 3.D, explore non-regulatory actions that support neighborhood
completeness, such as business recruitment and the provision of tax incentives.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Review the LDRs to identify opportunities and remove barriers in zoning processes that could
delay development timelines, increase their costs, or prevent them entirely. For example, it may
be worth reviewing the City’s height standards, as compared to density targets and preferred
physical forms.
• In amending the LDRs, incentivize or require diverse housing types focused on the “missing
middle” (i.e., housing types in scales between single-family homes and multi-family buildings
with 20 or more dwelling units).
• The City should take a proactive approach and give project developers the expectation that they
should build their projects around the core idea that people using their properties will want to
reach destinations on foot or on wheels, and that supporting infrastructure should be provided
4
that is accessible by all ages and abilities. Such project design should also consider ideas around
enabling greater outdoor activity during all seasons.
• Regulatory tools can and should be paired with non-regulatory implementation, such as public-
private partnerships for affordable housing and businesses development, acquisition and
development of public amenities such as parks, recreation / cultural facilities, and state &
federal programs to support private sector investment
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• Attempts to increase housing supply should consider affordability. The City can review and
revise its inclusionary zoning provisions, as necessary. Further, ensuring a variety of housing
types and sizes also supports housing affordability, as does connecting developers with available
incentives.
• The costs of living in new and existing housing developments can be further offset by educating
residents on available income-based incentives, for example, energy efficiency services.
• Ensure that all EVSE are handicap accessible.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Public Service and Infrastructure Capacities
Increases in residential densities and mixed-use development should consider existing capacities of
municipal services and infrastructure. The City should integrate plans to invest in such resources, as
needed, into the development of future Capital Improvement Plans that align with the LDR amendments
associated with this action.
Impact Mitigation
Increased development intensities have the potential for adverse impacts, such as those affecting
pedestrian safety. These impacts may differ by the target audience of individual developments, for
example, higher income households are likely to have one or more automobile. The City should review
new developments and require appropriate mitigation of the developers (e.g., transportation demand
management measures), as applicable – ensuring that there is a demonstrated connection between the
development impacts and the nature of the mitigation being required. Further, the City should consider
its own mitigation, for example, supplementing active transportation infrastructure.
Neighborhood and Developer Community Engagement
The City should engage the existing property owners, residents, and employers within the TO district, as
well as the Vermont development community, early in the preparation of new LDRs. The City’s
observations and intentions should be clearly explained so that all stakeholders have a common
5
understanding of terms and concepts. Feedback should be integrated, where feasible, or otherwise
provided with an explanation of dismissal.
Relatedly, as noted above, dense residential development can take many forms, from multiplexes, to
mid-rise or high-rise apartment buildings – standalone or in combination with other land uses. In
conjunction with Step 1.C., the City could consider engaging stakeholders in a visual preference exercise
to get feedback on physical design alternatives to inform the LDR amendments.
With respect to neighborhood completeness, it will be important to work with the business community
to help identify what makes people start the types of businesses that are lacking within the TO district,
who typically starts them, what are capital requirements, and what population numbers and
demographics are required to make them work.
CASE STUDIES:
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
Portland, Maine – Undertook the Complete Neighborhoods Program, which mapped areas of the city
that are underserved as determined by walking distances to select amenities and services.
Cambridge, MA – Requires certain infill developers to prepare an Infill Development Concept Plan that,
among other requirements, must include a Retail Plan demonstrating how the development will
enhance the existing retail environment, including through the provision of target uses (e.g., grocery
stores, pharmacies).
San Francisco, California – Implemented ground floor standards that limit pedestrian interactivity with
street frontages.
Seattle, Washington - Allows for smaller, more compact dwelling unit types in its Municipal Code.
TARGET SETTING
Metropolitan Council – Establishes target residential densities for shared rights-of-way, local bus routes
on a high frequency network at 15 to 60+ dwelling units per acre.
CRCOG – Found sharp increases in public transit ridership as average residential densities approach
30 units per acre.
Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development – The Multi-Family Zoning
Requirement for MBTA Communities requires a minimum gross density of 15 units per acre within a
half-mile of a commuter rail station, subway station, ferry terminal or bus station.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Step 1: Engage in a Parking and Transportation Management Study
A. Identify overlay or zoning districts that would benefit from parking maximums, parking fees, or
other requirements. Leverage the study already conducted for City Center.3
B. Ascertain existing parking conditions (public and private) within each district. This should include
parking occupancy, turnover, uses, regulations, etc.
C. Develop goals and/or recommendations for parking requirements based on district context. This
could include context appropriate parking maximums for new development based on use
categories or formulas, potential parking caps for a district to encourage shared parking based
on adjacent uses, paid on-street or public lot parking, or other mechanisms.
Step 2: Develop Appropriate Parking Maximums
A. Develop appropriate parking maximum formulas or tables as a function of current and
anticipated land uses. This can include leveraging results from the parking study to inform
demonstrated oversupply associated with current uses and/or reviewing best practices to
inform formulas or use categories.
B. Adjust parking maximum formulas or tables to generate context appropriate regulations for new
development within different districts that help to meet goals and/or recommendations.
Step 3: Develop Parking Management District and Fee Structure, as appropriate
A. Identify parking management district(s), if appropriate, for implementing parking fee structure
for paid public on-street or public lot parking. Leverage recommendations from City Center
study.
B. Develop parking fee structure appropriate for the current and anticipated occupancy and
turnover based on the parking and transportation management study results.

Step 4: Amend Land Development Regulation and Parking Ordinance
A. Draft Land Development Regulation (LDR) amendments for City Council’s approval that reflect
recommendations from the parking and transportation management study, including parking
districts and parking maximum requirements.
B. If appropriate, draft LDR amendments to establish parking management district(s) and parking
fee structure. Amend parking ordinance as needed to reflect parking management district, fee
structures, and enforcement.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Consider requiring and/or incentivizing shared parking arrangements to maximize parking
efficiency.
• The City could prioritize types of parking, for instance, by favoring bike parking, followed by
electric vehicle (EV) parking, high occupancy vehicles/carpool, carshare vehicles, and then all
others.
• With respect to EVs, incentivize parking spaces with charging infrastructure in coordination with
parking maximums and fee structures, which may entail waivers, TDM incentives, or other
mechanisms to align with EV charging goals (refer to CAP Actions T.1.1, T.1.2, and T.1.3).
• Engagement with existing property owners, businesses, employers, and the development
community should occur early in the implementation process, starting with the parking study
and through the process of preparing LDR amendments for parking maximums and/or new
ordinances for parking fee structures.
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• Limiting new parking enables development of more housing units, contributing to affordability
and availability of needed housing.
• Excessive use of space attributed to parking can be better allocated to more equitable land uses
including needed housing units, other modes of transportation, and open space.
• Public parking fees shift the cost of parking to the driver, making it more equitable for non-
drivers and users of other modes.
• For parking infractions, consider implementing sliding scale fines based on income.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Parking Minimums
The City has already removed parking minimums in recognition of the costs (monetary and otherwise)
associated with an oversupply of parking. A shift to parking maximums enables improved, context-
sensitive management of land dedicated to parking.
4
Transit Overlay
Consider using the Transit Overlay districts as a guide to the parking and transportation management
study development.
Context Sensitive Parking Management
Consider adjustments to parking maximums within certain districts to align with goals and
recommendations of the parking study. These adjustments should consider the impacts of spill-over
parking, such as the presence or absence of public parking, its characteristics, etc.
Public Parking Management
In considering the impacts of maximum parking on adjacent areas, the City should examine the need for
management of nearby public parking in residential areas.
CASE STUDIES:
Burlington, VT – Identified the need to revise parking as part of a policy reform goal to generate more
affordable housing and meet net zero goals with improved transportation options. The updated policies
are embedded in the Comprehensive Development Ordinance.
Denver, CO – Details maximum parking requirements for the Downtown Neighborhood Context in its
zoning code. Additionally, a process to request excess parking beyond the maximum is detailed in the
Denver Municipal Code under the Landmark Preservation chapter.
Portland, OR – Details parking maximum requirements by zone in City Code Chapter 33.266 “to promote
alternative forms of transportation, to promote efficient use of land and to protect air and water
quality.”
Hartford, CT - Eradicated parking minimums and the City’s Zoning Regulations identify maximum
parking requirements based on use.
Charlotte, NC – Amended its zoning ordinance to establish minimum and maximum allowable parking
based on use only within Transit Oriented Development Districts.
Vancouver, BC, CA – Enacted a parking by-law that identifies parking maximums and implements a total
parking capacity in downtown.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
Step 1a: Engage in the Plan Development Process.
A. Procure a consultant to provide technical and outreach assistance in plan development.
B. Inventory and map the existing pedestrian and bicycle networks (e.g., sidewalks, roadways, and
dedicated pathways), along with existing and future land use patterns. Review existing data on
pedestrian and bike infrastructure (including the Bird “Blue” Bikeshare and Local Motion’s bike
lending library), transit routes and stops, crash data, destinations and desire lines, amenities
(including benches and bike parking), level of traffic stress (LTS), user trends and patterns, etc.
Enhance or supplement these data, as needed.
C. Conduct a gap analysis to identify project alternatives informed by existing conditions and
community input (see Step 1b).
I. This analysis should have a specific focus on areas with historically disadvantaged and
underserved populations, such as low-income households, communities of color,
seniors, and households with limited access to vehicles, etc.
II. This analysis should also prioritize the creation of Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) 1 facilities
(i.e., all ages and abilities).
D. Develop plan goals and evaluation criteria. Rank proposed project alternatives based on
evaluation criteria.
E. Develop recommended projects to address needs, including network and design treatments.
F. Develop recommended management, maintenance, operations, and programming to support
walking and biking in alignment with shared vision and goals.
G. Prioritize projects and develop implementation plan with timeline, lead agency, conceptual cost,
and funding opportunities.
2 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
H. Develop plan documentation and present it for endorsement by the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Committee and City Council.
Step 1b: Concurrent with Step 1a, Obtain and Incorporate Public Feedback.
A. Engage with the public and other stakeholders to craft and refine:
I. A shared vision, needs, opportunities, and high-level priorities
II. Needs, goals, evaluation criteria, and potential rankings
III. Projects, programs, prioritization, and implementation
Step 2: Program Projects and Secure Funding.
A. Develop targets for capital improvement and maintenance activities for walking and biking
infrastructure that align with Walk Bike Plan goals and recommendations.
B. Program projects through the capital improvement program process.
C. Develop grant proposals for projects based on plan-identified funding opportunities.
Step 3: Implementation & Monitoring.
A. In partnership with SBBPC, once funding is secured, procure consultant for design on a project-
by-project or bundled project basis.
B. Upon final design, develop bid materials to procure contractor for construction.
C. Coordinate with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee to track progress and milestones on the
plan implementation on an annual basis.
OPPORTUNITES FOR INNOVATION:
• Consider quick build projects, where street space is realigned or reassigned with painting or
object installations.
• In coordination with T.2.16 (Invest in Public Transit), integrate bike infrastructure into a central
transit center/mobility hub within the City’s transit overlay district or distributed amongst
several mini hubs to be located across the City, as applicable.
• Consider digital community input maps as one outreach tool to enable community members to
identify issues and opportunities for walking, wheeling, and biking.
• Consider digital maps and GIS for tracking walking/wheeling/biking assets, including
management, maintenance, projects, and plan progress. These tools can be used internally for
management and externally for process transparency and public information purposes.
• Consider installing permanent data collection devices in new infrastructure to enable ongoing
utilization tracking to help inform future decisions.
• Emerging technologies in electric bikes and broadening market of different types of bikes (e.g.,
cargo bikes) are rapidly expanding the feasibility of biking for different trip purposes, along
routes with more challenging topographies, and longer trip lengths. This evolving bicycle
marketplace and its influence on trip trends and safety should be considered in the evaluation of
future networks and in defining and prioritizing projects.
• The acceleration of e-bike adoption can be supported through the provision of
strategically placed charging infrastructure (e.g., along the bicycle networks and near
amenities, such as ”fix-it” stations and areas with shelters) and incentive programming
(e.g., free cargo baskets for persons making e-bike deliveries). Relatedly, the City should
consider expanding its partnership with the Bird “Blue” Bikeshare.
FOCUS ON EQUITY:
• Accessibility for all should be at the forefront of plan development and subsequent construction
of bike/ped infrastructure. For example, the LTS analysis should be related to LTS network
expectations (recommended LTS 1 – all ages and abilities). Further, use inclusive language like
"wheeling" or "rolling" with every mention of walking in the plan.
• Ensure that the Walk Bike Plan adheres to the recently issued federal guidelines3 regarding
pedestrian accessibility in public rights of way, including crosswalks, sidewalks, and shared use
paths.
• Investments in walking, wheeling, and biking serve to provide transportation options more
equitably to the community, particularly for the non-driving population.
• Priority for first and last mile connections should be given to transit users, who are often
persons from historically disadvantaged communities.
• Engagement through the plan development, project prioritization, and implementation should
seek to reach overburdened and underserved communities to address barriers and gaps unique
to their experience.
• Ensure walking/biking infrastructure is well connected to transit stops and other modal options,
and with adequate bike parking.
• Robust usage of the local pedestrian and bicycle network will depend, in part, on the availability
of standardized wayfinding and multi-language signage and education.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• Pair with the implementation of CAP Actions T.2.8 (Higher Density Mixed Use Development),
T.2.11 (Parking Maximum), T.2.13 (CATMA Membership), and T.2.18 (Lane Reduction).
• Funding is programmed for the Walk Bike Plan development in the CCRPC UPWP for FY 2024.
• SBBPC has an existing prioritized list of needs that should be considered for incorporation into
the Walk Bike Plan.
• Ensure that maintenance is considered as part of project designs, with the end purpose of
creating a four-season network. Ensuring user safety (e.g., via path lighting) should also be a
condition of satisfaction for project delivery.
• The Walk Bike Plan should recommend, reinforce or is otherwise synergistic with
complementary land use goals (e.g., higher density developments that are close together) and
other community goals (e.g., transportation demand management).
3 New Accessibility Guidelines for Public Rights-of-Way | Vermont League of Cities and Towns (vlct.org)
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) assessment or audit is in progress. This can identify
another input of potential needs, projects, and/or harmonization of projects where accessibility
issues can be addressed alongside infrastructure improvements
CASE STUDIES:
• City of Burlington, VT – Developed the PlanBTV Walk Bike Plan in 2017. The City’s Department of
Public Works and the Burlington Walk/Bike Council annually evaluate this plan to monitor
progress.
• City of Winooski, VT – Is currently engaged with CCPRC in the development of its Walk Bike Plan.
They have had success reaching underserved populations through a series of informal
engagement efforts.
• Burlington and Winooski, VT – Developed multi-modal transportation hubs within their
respective downtowns, inclusive of CCTA transit stops, Carshare Vermont pods, and Bike Link™
secure bike lockers.
• City of Kingston, NY – With a population similar in size to South Burlington, developed a
Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan that includes a fairly extensive set of potential treatments
and their impacts as well as prioritized improvement projects.

From the South Burlington Climate Action Plan – Transportation Implementation Questionnaire: Many
open-ended responses identified more sidewalk/shared use path infrastructure, safer pedestrian
crossings, and more lighting/snowplowing as improvements that would make it easier to walk to
destinations; and more bike lanes/shared use path infrastructure as improvements that would make it
easier to bike to destinations.
From the Senior Center Focus Group: “Sidewalks are not friendly – ensure they are paved and smoothed
so that they do not pose a trip hazard.”

CO-BENEFITS:
• Economic Value
• Living Affordability
• Mobility/Accessibility Enhancement
• Public Health
KEY DEFINITIONS:
• Transportation Demand Management (TDM) – Strategies, initiatives, and/or incentives that
encourage the use of alternatives to driving single occupancy vehicles, expanding the use of
other modes and means of travel.
• Transportation Management Association (TMA) – An organization that supports and promotes
transportation demand management strategies, initiatives, and/or incentives by offering travel
planning and services to partnering entities including employers.
KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
Step 1: Engage with Existing Businesses, Employers, Institutions, Residents (Phase 1: Voluntary TDM)
A. Coordinate with CATMA, SBBA, and other employer, institutional, or residential networks to
host educational workshops to educate and share information on the benefits of TDM, CATMA’s
Transportation Coordinator Network (TCN), and value of CATMA membership. Consider
establishing workshop host locations based on geography or interested core businesses.
Leverage additional TDM services and resources such as Go! Vermont, CarShare Vermont, Bird
Bikeshare, Local Motion Bike Library, Net Zero Vermont Walk to Shop Program, etc. Note that
Local Motion provides assistance to public and private entities for bike parking siting and design.
1 For cost ratings: 1 (Less than $100,000), 2 ($100,000 to $500,000), 3 ($500,000 to $1,000,000), 4 ($1,000,000 to $5,000,000), 5 (Greater than $5,000,000) 2 For implementation complexity ratings: 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
B. Encourage existing businesses, employers, institutions, and residential developments to
designate a Transportation Coordinator and join CATMA’s TCN. This is currently a free program.
Consider incentivizing involvement in the TCN with a targeted campaign, one-time raffle, or
similar reward opportunity.
C. Encourage existing businesses, employers, institutions, residential developments to audit their
existing TDM strategies by completing CATMA’s Worksite Assessment and explore suitable
effective TDM strategies for their employees, users, potential patrons, etc. This should include
individual strategies and/or CATMA membership. Consider incentivizing involvement with a
targeted campaign, one-time raffle, or similar reward opportunity.
D. Identify incentives (e.g., raffles for new strategies) or other resources (e.g., discounted bike
parking installation) that the City could support and offer to businesses, employers, and
institutions engaged in voluntary TDM. Consider this as ongoing service for regular, successful
TDM programming including target setting, strategy deployment, monitoring, and evaluation.
This could be done standalone or within TMA membership, but would require staff management
for standalone.
E. Consider leveraging traffic impact fees or other funding resources (e.g., metered parking) to
offer discounted TMA memberships or scholarships. Ensure that the use of these funds for TDM
purposes is transparent.
F. Develop network of local businesses to sponsor rewards or raffle prizes for membership Reward
Programs.
Step 2: Develop TDM Requirements for New Development and Redevelopment (Phase 2: Required TDM)
A. Amend LDRs to require TDM programming and/or equivalent services through TMA
membership for new development and redevelopment.
B. Develop a schedule of requirements based on project type, size, and location, with particular
attention on proximity to transit access, bikeshare, bike facilities, and pedestrian facilities.
Consider flexibility in TDM programming by developing a menu of applicable strategies
acceptable to meet City standards and/or expectations so the approach can be right sized for
the development’s particular needs.
Step 3: Engage in TDM Program Plan Development (Phase 3: Expand TDM)
A. Solicit proposals for the development of a city wide TDM Program Plan that sets in motion a
community driven approach to TDM in South Burlington and encourages community ownership
of resulting, recommended TDM policies and strategies for the City.
B. The scope of the TDM Program Plan should consider engaging in the following elements:
I. Review previous plans and studies and identify successes, deficiencies, and
opportunities for TDM in South Burlington.
II. Review best practices and identify relevant case studies, context appropriate examples,
and measures of effectiveness.
III. Engage with stakeholders including CATMA, developers, businesses, employers,
institutions, residential developments, city staff, and the public.
IV. Set community driven goals and objectives for TDM programming in South Burlington.
V. Evaluate feasibility of various policies and strategies for South Burlington community.
VI. Draft recommendations to enact policies and strategies that detail implementation,
identify program monitoring requirements, and evaluate based on criteria and/or
targets.
Step 4: Enact Policies and Implement Strategies Recommended from Study (Phase 4: Implement TDM)
A. Depending on the outcomes of the study, enact policies and implement strategies to require
TDM for a range of new developments, redevelopments, existing businesses, employers,
institutions, and residential developments in South Burlington.
B. It is anticipated that refinements to the short-term approaches in Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be
recommended in Phase 3 and implemented in Phase 4.
C. Develop an annual City-wide monitoring program to track progress towards goals and objectives
identified in Phase 3. Leverage individual program monitoring requirements and coordinate with
entities engaged in TDM programming (including through CATMA membership or voluntary
programs) to inform metrics and performance.
D. Leveraging outcomes and recommendations from the study in Step 3, identify and codify
enforcement approach for TDM requirements.
OPPORTUNITES FOR INNOVATION:
• Driving Change, a policy guidance developed by CATMA for South Burlington in 2014,
emphasized the importance of “language, buy-in, and management” as the three key policy
elements for successful TDM programming.
• Consider Transportation Coordinator cooperatives, where a group of businesses, employers, or
residences in close proximity to one another could assign one coordinator for multiple entities.
This could be advantageous for smaller businesses, employers, or residences that have limited
staff capacity. The City could provide the framework for this by designating areas where entities
can join cooperatives and template agreements on sharing the Transportation Coordinator role
and responsibilities across entities.
• There is a broad and expanding menu of practices that can enable increased TDM through
financial incentives, programs, and services, including but not limited to subsidized transit,
carpools and vanpools, telework, walking/biking, micromobility (carshare, bikeshare), bike
parking, and showers.
• Public/private partnerships can be leveraged to install active transportation infrastructure that
provides access to its employment centers. The City could engage its largest employers in these
types of projects.
FOCUS ON EQUITY:
• TDM strategies encourage the use of alternatives to driving single occupancy vehicles,
expanding the use of other modes and means of travel. This expansion of use provides critical
mass to enable further investments in modes and means that serve residents and visitors with
more sustainable and equitable transportation options.
• TDM practices available through a TMA or through TDM programming need to consider
accessibility. For instance, Section 508 compliance can be a guidepost for entities in the
development of materials and information sharing that are not necessarily mandated to comply
(i.e., federal agencies).
• As language diversity expands, TDM programming and partnering entities and agencies need to
provide information and support across languages to eliminate language barriers to use. For
instance, transit route and stop information needs to be simple and interpreted across
languages with additional multilingual support and consistent messaging and/or symbology.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• TDM plan development is programmed to start in Fall 2023.
• Consider a phased approach to TDM, as outlined above, where voluntary, required, expanded,
and implemented TDM policies and strategies are adopted over time for South Burlington.
• Engage with developers, employers, institutions, CATMA, South Burlington Business Association,
the public, and other stakeholders early in the TDM program development process, but also
consistently on a quarterly or semiannual basis to establish two-way communication on
programming, successes, and challenges.
• Consider waiver or credit schedules for assessing local traffic impact fees. Currently an approved
TDM Plan can yield up to a 25% credit for the fee based on South Burlington Impact Fee
Ordinance.
• Leverage framework for TDM credits through Act 250 Permitting or Act 145 Impact Fee
processes. Currently, the TDM adjustment for Act 250/Act 145 purposes is capped at 20% made
up of a mix of various strategies with assigned percentage adjustments. In areas with existing
transit, bike, and pedestrian facilities, the only eligible applicants must join a TMA or have an
existing or planned TDM program. Updates to the Act 250 Program are anticipated with a
Stakeholder Steering Committee currently conducting a legislative report and should be
considered upon approval.
• Expand eligible projects or programs to leverage traffic impact fees in support of multimodal
capacity expansion and TDM, including infrastructure, equipment, and TDM programming (e.g.,
program incentives or membership subsidies) as well.
• Consider both voluntary and mandatory aspects of TDM programming and the feasibility for
developers, employers, businesses, and institutions.
• Consider, and plan for, the demand TDM will place on other infrastructure including transit
service, bike facilities, and pedestrian facilities.
CASE STUDIES:
City of Burlington, VT – Has a TDM requirement embedded in Article 8: Parking of its Comprehensive
Development Ordinance. A TDM program is required based on the type and size of development, such
that development requires TDM programming as follows:
• 10 or more dwelling units, non-residential or mixed use >8,000 sq ft, or 15,000 sq ft GFA require
all provisions of TDM programming
• Affordable projects containing 75% of dwelling units meeting or exceeding affordability criteria
require outreach and education components of the provision and signed commitment to the
City
• 5 to 9 dwelling units the cost of parking is unbundled from the leases or deeds associated with
the units.
City of Winooski, VT – Is proposing to update its draft parking regulations with some TDM incentives.

• Public Health
• Mobility/Accessibility Enhancement
KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
Step 1: Working with CCPRC and GMT, as appropriate, prepare and implement a Public Transit
Improvement and Expansion Study.
A. Collect data on public transit ridership, routes, and schedules within the City.
i. Analyze the data to identify areas within the City that have existing high ridership levels,
where increased service (i.e., greater frequency and/or expanded hours) could yield
additional riders, and areas with low ridership levels, where services could be reduced.
ii. Identify emerging higher density residential and commercial/employment centers
within the City that would benefit from increased service and/or potential new routes or
stops.
B. Using Origin-Destination data (e.g., ridership, mode split, transit transfers, first- and last-mile
distances, travel duration by mode, and peak hours), evaluate GMT’s existing transit system for
service gaps and inefficiencies, as well as opportunities to attract “choice riders” (i.e., individuals
with access to personal vehicles).
C. Conduct a rider survey and focus groups to better understand usage patterns, the appeal of
service expansion(s), and ridership barriers.
D. Based on the findings of Steps 1.A through 1.C, develop improvement and expansion options
that not only include extended schedules, increased frequency, and potential new or modified
routes, but also new modes of transportation (e.g., light rail and bus rapid transit). A focus of
these options should be intra-city travel.
E. Evaluate the improvement and expansion options based on potential ridership gains, VMT
reduction potential, cost, wealth generation potential, and environmental impacts (among other
factors). Prioritize them based on their relative performance as measured against these criteria.
F. Obtain public input on the prioritized options and refine them, as necessary.
G. Prepare an implementation plan for the refined options. This should include identifying
implementation responsibilities, funding sources, and timelines.
i. Engage GMT to explore and identify funding mechanisms (e.g., congestion fees, dynamic
tolling) that would supply the system with additional revenue to support the expanded
services in the City. In the process, explore regional collaborations, where applicable and
appropriate.
3
H. Implement the Public Transit Improvement and Expansion Study (i.e., secure funding, designing
and building new infrastructure, and launching new services).
Step 2: Coordinate with GMT in monitoring system ridership for continuous improvement opportunities.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION
• Pair with the implementation of CAP Actions T.2.3 (Microtransit), T.2.8 (Higher Density Mixed
Use Development), T.2.11 (Parking Maximums), T.2.12 (Walk Bike Plan), and T.2.13 (CATMA
Membership).
• Leverage the Public Transit Improvement and Expansion Study to explore the need and
feasibility of a central transit center/mobility hub within the City’s transit overlay district or the
distribution of mini hubs across the City. These hubs should be strategically located near large
origin and destination centers and well connected to existing and planned walk/bike paths.
• Giving transit prioritized signaling will reduce trips lengths, which would improve the
competitiveness of transit compared to other modes of transportation.
• The City should advocate to the Vermont Legislature for the implementation of funding
alternatives identified in the CCRPC's Transit Financing Study.
• Zero-emission buses (e.g., electric or hydrogen) are available and should be considered for new
service as there are grants to assist with their purchase. Note that GMT’s Transit Asset
Management Plan details replacement plans that transition its fleet to electric alternatives.
o The City can support GMT’s fleet electrification through shared or dedicated EVSE
accessible from the agency’s existing bus routes.
o Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging stations could have electric buses send power back to the
regional grid during times of peak power demand.
• Encouraging GMT to provide regular updates to City leaders and residents on the progress of
public transit improvements and expansion will improve accountability and transparency of this
action’s implementation.
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• Existing services likely focus on households with limited vehicle ownership and lower incomes
(“captive” riders). Adding additional services to attract “choice” riders will need to be balanced
against service improvements which improve equity for currently targeted populations.
• Late-night and early morning service often has lower ridership, but can be important for certain
workers. Limited service during these periods if aligned with major employers can be successful
and improve overall mobility and equity. The same applies to weekend service.
• GMT was fare free from March 2020, and through additional funding secured, will remain fare
free until January 2024. Fares on South Burlington routes are expected to return in the future,
4
and accordingly, the City should explore and advocate for funding that would eliminate such
costs to riders.
• Public engagements conducted in the development of the Public Transit Improvement and
Expansion Study should include focus groups representing disadvantaged populations and follow
the City’s upcoming “equity in planning” outreach toolkit.
• Conduct education events for seniors to increase their understanding of the GMT system.
• Consider providing hard copy route information to seniors and other populations with limited
access to technology.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
• The identified improvement and expansion options should be coordinated with GMT’s
Microtransit Study as part of CAP Action T.2.3 to ensure no overlap of future service and to
align funding requests.
• Route and system reconfiguration can optimize service and allow for more effective
deployment of transit resources. This may result in reduced geographic coverage but faster and
more frequent service along key corridors and result in a net increase in ridership.
• If a zero-emissions bus is desired, this will likely increase procurement time and costs though
may result in operational savings. Additionally, refueling/recharging infrastructure and related
costs must be considered when planning for such vehicles. Range must be carefully considered
when designing the service as it can be lower than a traditional diesel or hybrid bus.
• The rider survey and focus groups can help concentrate service improvements. For example,
riders may want direct service or need service outside of current service span. Additionally, for
many riders, frequency is not as important as directness of route and having reliable real-time
arrival information.
• Route modifications are subject to GMT’s public participation plan (PPP) in addition to funding
approval and related processes. New routes will also need to comply with GMT’s established
service standards.
• Route modifications and new routes should be done in conjunction to make sure changes are
easily understood by the public. Consider tailoring these communications to target audiences,
including both “captive” and “choice” riders.
• Changes to span are most likely successful if they apply to multiple routes to reduce confusion
about different span across different routes.
• Public transit expansion may require GMT to hire additional drivers. A shortage of drivers may
be a prevalent issue. South Burlington could play a role in driver recruitment and retention.
• The provision of amenities at bus stops (e.g., shelters) can promote the use of public transit
service. Such amenities may be necessitated by extreme weather conditions (e.g., urban heat).

CASE STUDIES:
• Green Mountain Transit – The NextGen Transit Plan sought to change public transportation
across GMT’s service areas to make it more convenient and attractive. Improvement
recommendations were identified, including for Chittenden County and South Burlington.
• Burlington and Winooski, VT – Developed multi-modal transportation hubs within their
respective downtowns, inclusive of GMT transit stops, Carshare Vermont pods, and Bike Link™
secure bike lockers.
OTHER RESOURCES:
• Transit Financing Study – CCPRC
• Urban Transit Development Plan – Chittenden County Transportation Authority (Now GMT)
• 2022-2026 Transit Asset Management Plan - GMT
From the South Burlington Climate Action Plan – Transportation Implementation Questionnaire: When
respondents were asked whether they would take public transportation for frequent trips if all their
public transit concerns were addressed, only 47 percent indicated “Somewhat Likely” or “Very Likely”.
From the Senior Center Focus Group: “[We] need more bus routes that connect to places within the City.”

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
Step 1: Establish a Project Purpose and Need.
A. The purpose and need should clearly identify the objectives of the project. Foundational
assumptions of this purpose and need should include: 1) that vehicle congestion is not a limiting
factor in the determination of lane reduction and/or lane narrowing projects, and 2) that bike lanes
installed as part of lane narrowing/reduction projects should strive to provide adequate
vertical/buffered protection be provided to create accessibility for all.
Step 2: Identify and inventory candidate roadways for lane reduction and/or lane narrowing.
A. Primary screening should focus on roadways with existing four-lane (or more) cross-sections, as
shown in Table 1, that could be candidates for lane reduction. Gather data on existing conditions
including roadway widths, lane widths, vehicular and bicycle volumes, and vehicle speeds, etc.
B. Secondary screening should focus on existing roadway widths that could be adaptively repurposed
through lane narrowing and bike lane or other edge line striping (e.g., shoulders or advisory lanes).
C. Tertiary screening should focus on intersections, particularly those with auxiliary lane configurations,
which could be candidates for improved bike or pedestrian facility connections through adaptively
repurposed turn lanes or pavement widths. Gather data on existing conditions including lane
configuration, lane widths, turning radii, volumes (vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian), and
intersection control (signal timing/phasing, stop conditions, etc.).
Step 3: Evaluate feasibility of lane reduction and/or lane narrowing.
A. For the primary screening, traffic analysis should be conducted with a focus on the throughput,
metering, and intersection capacity limitations. For roadways with less than 15,000 vehicles per day
(vpd), consider signal retiming and other possible adjustments as part of traffic analysis. For
roadways with greater than 15,000 vpd, conduct a corridor analysis to further assess potential
adjustments or improvements to be made in conjunction with the lane reduction.
B. For the secondary screening, inventory pavement widths and lane widths starting with arterials and
collectors. Compare to allowable lane widths and necessary pedestrian and bike accommodations
2 1 (Easy - No Barriers), 2 (Some Difficulty – Internal Capability), 3 (Some Difficulty – External Capability), 4 (Multiple Barriers Exist or Dependent on Third-Parties), 5 (Regulatory or Other Highly Challenging Barriers Present)
3
based on the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) Article 11A: Street Typologies, which are moving
to the soon-to-be published Department of Public Works’ Standards and Specifications (no change
from currents LDRs). Use the inventory to identify lane width reduction and edge line or bike lane
striping opportunities.
C. For the tertiary screening, evaluate intersection capacity and design vehicle limitations associated
with reconfiguration and repurposing of intersection geometry and existing pavement widths. For
locations with auxiliary lanes, right turn slip lanes, or other configurations (e.g., jug handle),
screening level evaluations should focus on capacity and design vehicle implications of lane
reduction or removal. Project teams should also assess opportunities for quick builds, where street
space is realigned or reassigned with painting or object installations.
Step 4: Prioritize projects.
A. Coordinate with the implementation of CAP Action T.2.12 (Walk Bike Plan) to identify priority
locations for lane reduction or lane narrowing based on needs identified in the plan development.
Focus on the City Center, as well as areas that lack safe walk/bike accommodations to connect
between neighborhoods and to/from key destinations (e.g., schools, parks, services, dense housing
or mixed-use areas, etc.).
B. Cross reference with planned asset management and maintenance activities to identify
opportunities for coordination/harmonization with repaving/restriping.
C. Identify opportunities for pilot projects and/or educational demonstrations.
Step 5: Implement priority pilot projects and program projects according to prioritization/harmonization.
A. Implement priority pilot projects in coordination with Public Works.
B. Program lane narrowing and lane reduction projects as part of capital plan development.

OPPORTUNITES FOR INNOVATION:
• Coordinate with other construction activities or repaving projects for project harmonization.
4
• Consider pilot projects as an avenue to demonstrate lane reduction and collect data to support
feasibility.
• Coordinate with yearly road re-striping for lane narrowing efforts as this is an existing budget line
item.
FOCUS ON EQUITY:
• The reallocation of right-of-way to dedicate space to uses other than driving makes for a more
equitable transportation system that can better serve younger and older community members,
zero car households, low-income households, and others. Ensure that such spaces are designed
to accommodate all types of mode (pedestrian or bicyclist) and users (e.g., kids, older adults,
persons with physical impairments, etc.)
• Prioritize lane reduction and lane narrowing connecting to neighborhoods that lack safe and
comfortable walk, bike, and roll accommodations.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• Consider collecting new traffic volume data to inform the base condition and future projections
based on post-pandemic (COVID-19) travel activity.
• Leverage existing planning and corridor studies, like the Williston Road Network Transportation
Study Phase I and Phase II.
• Foster community buy-in through educational opportunities, safety metrics, pilot projects, and other
outreach.
• Coordinate with the implementation of CAP Action T.2.12 (Walk Bike Plan) to identify and prioritize
lane reductions that could address gaps in walking/biking network connectivity.
• Class 1 Town Highway Reclassification may be one avenue to pursue when considering the range of
possible treatments to the candidate corridors. Shelburne Road (US 7) is state-owned and operated,
whereas a large portion of Williston Road (US 2) is Class 1 Town Highway.
• Revisit Land Development Regulations to consider Citywide policy to limit lane expansion on
“Avenue” street typologies, which allow for 2 to 4 lane configurations.
• Where appropriate, consider traffic calming measures (e.g., installing bumps outs) as enhancements
or alternatives to lane reduction projects, particularly in the City’s older neighborhoods with wider
streets.
• The removal of pavement through lane reductions can benefit natural resources through the
removal of impervious surfaces as well the City’s operating budget, for example, through lower
maintenance and paving costs.
• Lane reductions can take place with or without moving curbs. When curbs are moved, there is an
opportunity to invest in the streetscape to transform the character of the area and to consider
undergrounding of overhead utilities. These actions could be considered as phases of long-term
projects.

CASE STUDIES:
• Colchester Avenue, Burlington, VT – The Colchester Avenue Complete Street Demonstration Project
saw the conversion of a four-lane cross-section to a three-lane cross section with bike lanes and
dedicated turn or shared left turn lanes. This enabled the repurposing of the curb-to-curb width and
additional accommodations like safe midblock crossing installations.
• North Avenue, Burlington, VT – The North Avenue Pilot Project saw the reconfiguration of 4-lane
segments to 3 lanes, as well as the installation of bike lanes and other changes to enhance safety for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.
• Williston Road, South Burlington, VT – The section of Williston Road from Cottage Grove Ave to
Milham Court was reduced from 4 vehicular lanes to 2 lanes, 2 bike lanes, and a center turn lane
(except at the Hinesburg Road and Kennedy Drive intersections) in the early 2010s. In 2023, the City
is constructing mid-block pedestrian crossing with refuge islands to connect the Chamberlin and
Mayfair Park neighborhoods. Internal coordination with the managers of these projects should be
conducted to obtain any lessons learned.
• Nickerson Street, Seattle, WA – This project entailed the reconfiguration of a 4-lane corridor with
parking stalls on both sides into a corridor with single travel lanes in each direction, shared left turn
lane, bicycle lanes, and retention of parking stalls. The project enabled strategic curb bulb outs and
pedestrian refuge islands in order to retain midblock crossings that were, by policy, being removed
from 4-lane roadways due to safety concerns.
• Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Indianapolis, IN – This lane reduction project entailed reconfiguration of 5
and 6 lane cross sections and reduction of lane widths in downtown Indianapolis to enable the
addition of an 8-mile, separated walking and biking facility. The space gained within the right of way
was reallocated to curb, treebelt, and/or parking separated trail facilities. Though these trail facilities
were shared in most places, with the space reallocation separate biking and walking facilities were
incorporated into the design in some locations.
• C Street NE, Washington, D.C. – A project along C Street NE in Washington, D.C. re-envisioned the
corridor from a median separated 5-lane travel way with bike lanes and parking on both sides to a
multimodal complete street with 3 travel lanes, sidewalk level, separated bike facilities, enhanced
bus transit stops, and significant streetscape improvements.
• U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) – Compiled
road diet case studies across the U.S.
OTHER RESOURCES:
• Road Diets – U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration
From the South Burlington Climate Action Plan – Transportation Implementation Questionnaire: When asked
about reducing the number of travel lanes to accommodate bikes, a majority of responses expressed concerns
or apprehension about reducing vehicular travel lanes, with 36% expressing no concerns.

KEY IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Step 1: Conduct a feasibility study to further site and scope potential locations for park and ride and/or
intercept facilities in South Burlington.
A. Locations identified in the 2022 Chittenden County Park and Ride Plan should be the focal areas
for study, including the US-2 / Williston Road corridor north of the I-89 Exit 14 interchange and
US-7 / Shelburne Road corridor south of the I-189 interchange.
B. For I-89 Exit 14 at US-2 / Williston Road, it has been over a decade since the Exit 14 Intermodal
Facility scoping process declined to select a preferred alternative. Refinements to the scoping to
meet current purpose and need should be pursued.
C. For US-7 / Shelburne Road, site feasibility and scoping should be pursued to develop purpose
and need, identify criteria for selection, conduct analysis to identify suitable sites, assess
feasibility of sites, evaluate alternatives, identify a preferred alternative, and develop a
conceptual design.
Step 2: Pursue public/private partnership and/or VTrans Municipal Park and Ride Grant Program funds to
support design and construction.
Step 3: Issue Request for Proposals for the design and bids for the construction of park and ride
facility(ies).

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION:
• Given the park and rides could serve South Burlington residents connecting to multimodal
transportation options, transit connections, carpooling, or ridesharing, as well as serve as
intercept facilities for those connecting to destinations in South Burlington or neighboring
Burlington (e.g., from Bristol, Hinesburg, Charlotte, and Shelburne), considerations for
multimodal and transit connections should be prioritized.
• Co-locating park and rides with destinations, such as grocery stores or other services with
surface lots, could improve user convenience.
• Coordinate with GMT to serve these locations with existing, fixed route services while exploring
options to serve with more frequency and flexibility through on-demand transit services.
• The 2022 Chittenden County Park and Ride Plan notes the opportunity for electric vehicle (EV)
charging at new and existing facilities. Currently, the state is not installing EV charging
equipment at new or upgraded state facilities as they are unable to assess fees for charging. The
implementation of this action should be coordinated with CAP Actions T.1.3 (EV Adoption) and
T.1.6 (EV Carshare).
• Other emerging technologies, like e-bikes, should be carefully considered in the siting and
design of new intercept or park and ride facilities.
• Consider sustainability in design by limiting impervious surfaces in stormwater management,
collocating with solar canopy projects to produce energy, or mitigating heat island effects
through landscaping.
FOCUS ON EQUITY
• Park and ride and intercept facilities provide an opportunity for accessing transportation options
regardless of proximal access at home, work, or other destination locations, creating more
equitable access to transportation choices to more of the population.
• Park and ride lots can be offered as a free amenity. If parking fees are to be collected, the City
should consider offering a discounted fee for qualifying low-income earners.
• Park and ride lots can minimize the usage, and therefore the costs, of vehicle ownership. This
enables low-income earners to redirect monies to other household needs.
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
• The feasibility study that identifies and evaluates potential locations for new park and ride
and/or intercept facilities in South Burlington should consider the travel patterns of South
Burlington residents as well as those traveling into the City. For example, many travelers to
South Burlington originate from Bristol, Hinesburg, Charlotte, and Shelburne.
4
• The park and ride grant program enables municipalities to establish park and rides on
municipally owned or leased land. These park and rides are included in the state inventory and
display signage consistent with the broader park and ride system.
• Coordinate with GMT to enable connection to transit. Assess with GMT the transit access and
circulation needs at each potential site.
• As potential hubs of multimodal connection, consider infrastructure and amenities, such as
dedicated bike and pedestrian network connections, transit service connections, bike parking, e-
bike charging, transit shelters, etc. in the site feasibility and conceptual design phases.
Depending on scale, comfort amenities such as restrooms or vending machines may be
considered.
• Consider collocating with land uses needed in the surrounding community. Refer to CAP Action
2.8 (Higher Density Development).
• Coordinate with the Chittenden County Transportation Demand Management planning effort to
align with TDM targets identified in the I-89 2050 Study, including tripling transit services and
improving frequency.
CASE STUDIES:
• Burlington, VT – Supported by CCRPC, the City of Burlington is currently conducting a feasibility
study of a multimodal intercept facility in the South End of Burlington
• Kitsap Transit – Conducted a feasibility study of a new park and ride facility along SR 16 using
multilayer screening methods to identify a recommended site and conceptual design.
• Charlotte, VT – Conducted a Park and Ride feasibility study in collaboration with CCRPC to
identify a new site along the US 7 corridor.
• Portland, OR – Details parking maximum requirements by zone in City Code Chapter 33.266 “to
promote alternative forms of transportation, to promote efficient use of land and to protect air
and water quality.”

goals, such as Open Streets event
(perhaps closing northbound lane of
Dorset Street and/or Market Street)
or showcase bike path with an
annual event (marathon/half
marathon/5k)
.
1. Develop and/or adapt relevant
educational programming and
materials for use at standalone events
or as part of other City-sponsored
events.
2. Identify and plan a series of short-
term (e.g., tied to project
demonstrations) and recurring (e.g.,
annual open streets events) events.
3. Inventory all City-sponsored events
and ascertain the appropriateness of
integrating materials on the CAP’s
transportation goals and objectives.

Summary of Outreach -Questionnaire
269 respondents who live and/or work
in South Burlington
Many respondents indicated they were
interested in living in compact
neighborhoods, using transit, or
travelling by active transportation
modes if certain factors were addressed
51% of respondents were interested in
owning an EV, 13% already owned an
EV, and 24% expressed no interest in
owning an EV
“The increase in traffic locally has
been a deterrent to biking.”
“Vehicles [EVs] are too expensive.”
Summary of Outreach –Focus Groups
Senior Lunch at City Hall
–Transit Education (GMT, SSTA)
–User friendly sidewalks
–EV Range Anxiety + Expensive
–Live proximity to corner store
Retail Service Workers, United Way
Northwest VT
–Offered Stipends
–Widely Promoted
–Lack of Participation*
* The City has been funded to separately develop a new
“equity in planning” outreach toolkit for future projects.
Focus Group Questions
–How do you usually get around? If all options were available,
how would you prefer to get around?
–What would make it easier and more likely for you to ride the
bus, walk, or bike for trips you make?
–Would you consider living in a high-density neighborhood with
shops and services within ½ mile? Are there things that
would make this more appealing to you?
–Would you consider purchasing or leasing an EV? What factors
contribute to your decision-making process on EVs?
“Have a paper [bus] schedule.”“Need more [bus] routes that
connect to other places [than
Burlington] directly.”
“[EV charging should] have the
convenience of gas stations .”
“In Vermont –sidewalks are not
friendly [avoid trip hazards].”

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: Louis Bresee, Energy Project Manager
Date: November 2, 2023
Re: Status Report – Climate Action Plan – Government Operations Sector
The attached presentation documents the work accomplished to date on the Government Operations
Sector of the Climate Action Plan. This work was started in July 2023 and has involved conversation
with almost all City employees to generate ideas as to how the City could meet the targets of the Climate
Action Plan. The CAP documented two major actions related to City government: the reduction of Green
House Gases (GHG) and increasing the generation of renewable energy.
The GHG target reductions are to reduce the metric-ton carbon dioxide equivalent, mtCO2e, from the
1431 mtCOe2 baseline in 2019 to 572 by 2030 and 72 by 2050. These reductions will require the City
government to virtually eliminate the use of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas and seek almost all
energy from various sources of electricity. Work to date indicates that the use of current technology
would allow the City to meet 69% of the 2050 target and a series of projects have been defined in
pursuit of that objective. There are several obstacles to reaching the 2030 target because of the size of the
projects involved. Weatherization and heating projects require careful planning and the work force to do
that work is limited currently. There is also a financial concern regarding the replacement of a piece of
equipment or vehicle well before the end of its useful life. The plan currently pursued addresses both
concerns and recognizes that the FY CIP anticipated equipment replacement at a rate that would cover
80% of the planned project cost.
The action to increase the generation of renewable energy is being addressed in two ways. The City has
had two studies conducted to address the feasibility of placing a water turbine in the outflow of the
Airport Parkway WWTP. It is known that the outflow pipe is in need of replacement and that is the
logical time to incorporate a turbine in the flow. The City has already incorporated a requirement that
future commercial buildings need to have solar panels installed and the upgrade of the Bartlett Bay
WWTP will provide several solar opportunities. A preliminary study has been done to address the
potential for solar on other City buildings. The evaluation of each roof structure will be required to
assess the viability of each potential project.
The proposed plan provides projects that will result in concrete reductions in GHG over a time frame
that is financially responsible and takes advantage of anticipated technology advances in the future.

For the past 3 years, Trinity Educational Center, Inc. (TEC) has received donations from the
City of South Burlington. The donations were allocated using the city’s surplus funding but there is no guarantee that in the following years, the City will have surplus funds. TEC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and a Vermont registered Domestic Non-profit Corporation.
Trinity Educational Center, Inc.'s mission is to provide youth and young adults in the community with a safe, inclusive, educational, and empowering space. At TEC, young people are encouraged to develop their strengths and talents to better themselves and our
larger community.
TEC strives to empower youth to find their strength, giving them the ability to say no to drug and alcohol use versus just telling them that the right thing to do is to say no. TEC believes there is an extreme and powerful difference between the two. Nearly everyone understands that drugs have negative consequences. Still, not all youth recognize that they have a
choice, especially in Chittenden County communities where drug (opioids, marijuana) and alcohol use continue to increase, contributing to lifetime use of drugs and alcohol. Soon it will be three years since we began operations, and TEC has had some good and difficult days. As the founder, I have increased my presence in the school district through substituting, selling game tickets (students must enter through me), visiting school, riding the school buses to away games, and connecting to more marginalized youth. Last night I was selling game tickets, a girl student in a group reeked of alcohol. I say all of this because the number of youths becoming alcohol and drug abusers is increasing and I am concerned. Also, I did not realize that my connection with the board made a tremendous difference in SB until after the election. Their fears were my fears that students of color would be forgotten because of the lack of assimilation of the board, which I am grateful that I am not. I have been in constant communication with Superintendent Nichols and Mr. Burke in the hope that the youth of color will have a safe space at school.
We need additional monetary support to continue serving SB youth (increasing participation and drug and alcohol abuse). TEC asks the City of SB for annual funding of $13,000. Those funds allow TEC to focus on operational support, and use other funding for youth emergencies, such as buying household groceries and personal hygiene items, monies for washing their clothes and a hotel stay because of abuse. We do a lot more than people realize.
We are grateful because your prior donations have allowed TEC to provide SB with a haven for our youth, where they are safe, can socialize, eat, take home personal hygiene items, school supplies and clothes.
Thank you for reviewing TEC’s request and please let me know if you have additional
questions. Warmest Regards,
Dr. Travia Childs

MEMORANDUM
To: Jessie Baker, City Manager
South Burlington City Council
From: Paul Conner, AICP, Director of Planning & Zoning
Date: December 14, 2023
Re: Annual Sustainability Report 2022-2023
In July 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution #2021-10, “Policymaking to Reduce
Carbon Emissions And Counteract Climate Change.” The Resolution tasked the City’s Chief
Sustainability Officer to “annually report to the City Council on the progress that the City
is making on enacting the Climate Action Plan using standard tools and metrics and will
verify that the City appropriately factors climate impacts into all applicable actions and
decisions.”
I am proud to present the second annual report, below. We anticipate that moving into the
third year of this report, it will report on the status of overall emissions by sector, updated
from the base year in the Climate Action Plan, and on the sector-specific targets within the
Plan itself. This year’s Report breaks our work on Climate Action into four categories,
below:
1. Policy Making
A. City Plan 2024
The City’s overall policy guide – the City Plan – was updated on its renewal schedule
and is scheduled for adoption in early 2024. The Plan is the guidebook for the
regulatory, programmatic, and capital investment priorities for the city. It is updated
on an eight-year schedule under State Statute but has a much long planning horizon.
From the introduction:
City Plan 2024 is an expression of our values as a community, our goals for the
future, and high-level actions identified to meet these goals. The overriding guiding
principle of this Plan is to make every policy decision through the lens of climate
resilience and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, while recognizing other
important goals in our diverse community. The Plan increases the City’s emphasis
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4107 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
on the climate crisis and takes a stronger stance on how we need to both mitigate
climate change itself and counter the effects of a changing climate.
The Plan includes four guiding principles:
• Climate-Resilient. Prioritize mitigating climate change impacts and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. Emphasize sustainability by rapidly shifting our energy
profile to renewable and carbon-free sources and increasing energy efficiency.
Promote clean air, clean water, historic conservation, environmental conservation,
and recreational space for all residents.
• Inclusive, Fair, and Just. Be equity-oriented, transparent, equitable and fiscally
responsible in governance. Support high quality of life, community belonging,
public safety, housing affordability, and education for all people of varying
incomes, lifestyles, and stages of life.
• People-Oriented, Thoughtful, and Sustainable Built Environment. Invest in a
welcoming and walkable built environment, thriving neighborhoods, and a vibrant,
pedestrian-oriented City Center. Build community through housing, parks,
facilities, and infrastructure. Support a safe, resilient, and varied transportation
system that promotes our built areas.
• Collaborative and Engaged. Be a leader and collaborator in the regional and
statewide community. Support the city’s role as an economic engine for Vermont
by encouraging
B. Climate Action Implementation: Transportation & Government Operation Sector
Plans
In October 2022, the City Council adopted the city’s first-ever Climate Action Plan
(CAP). The preparation of this Plan included and intent to prepare implementation
plans within the identified sectors.
Two of these implementation plans were prepared this year and presented to the City
Council.
The Transportation Sector Implementation Plan includes an overview of the sector, a
detailed plan for each of the 11 High Impact Actions identified in the CAP, a summary
worksheet of next steps for the identified Supporting Actions, and staffing and
investment assessment to implement this work. Within each of the High Impact Action
plans is a topic summary and estimated cost, implementation steps, opportunities for
innovation, equity considerations, implementation considerations, and case studies.
The Government Operations Sector Implementation Plan is focused on the City’s
assets and operations. It includes an assessment of the City’s buildings, vehicles, and
equipment and a plan for their transition from fossil fuels to electricity and insultation.
The Plan provides a capital investment summary and identifies the technology and
capital replacement/upgrade schedule available and planned.
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4107 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
Implementation Case Study: Refueling Fire Trucks. The question – Is there a reason
why the Fire Engines from the Holmes Rd. station travel every day to the Public
Works on Patchen Rd. to refill their tanks? This was one of many issues discussed
at several South Burlington staff listening sessions held this past summer and fall
to identify ways to reduce the City use of fossil fuel. After some research, the
answer was NO. Now the fire fighters at that station can refuel at any of three
stations on Shelburne Rd. and three other stations in the area if they are on a
mutual aid call.
The benefits were much bigger than originally thought. Over the course of a year
1200 gallons of diesel fuel is saved which reduces the GHG, green house gas,
emissions by 12 mtCO2e. It also means that 1000 employee hours can be used for
more important work, keeps the engine in the area of the City that it is designed to
serve and reduces wear and tear on an expensive piece of equipment.
This is only one of several hundred responses that have been received in these
listening sessions. Most are not as easy to address but all are being pursued in an
effort to meet the targets set out in the City Climate Action Plan.
2. Regulations & Ordinances
A. Heating and Hot Water Ordinance for new construction adopted
“An Ordinance relating to building and thermal construction: regulation of heating and
service water systems in new buildings” was adopted in November 2022 and took
effect in February. Under the ordinance, the primary heating system for new buildings
must be fueled by carbon-free or renewable energy sources. New residential buildings
must, additionally, have their water heating systems similarly sourced.
Implementation Reporting: As of December 2023, construction permits for 24 new
homes and 5,000 s.f. of new commercial space that are subject to the provisions of
the Ordinance have been issued.
B. Solar Photovoltaic Installation Regulations for new construction adopted
All new construction subject to the Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards
(CBES) that was required under the LDRs to include a solar-ready zone must install
now a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system within that solar-ready zone. This amendment to
the city’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) was adopted and took effect in May
2023.
Implementation Reporting: As of December 2023, construction permits for 196 new
homes and 32,000 s.f. of new commercial space that are subject to this
requirement have been issued.
C. Allowance for use of Transferable Development Rights for additional housing
along Shelburne and Williston Road corridors adopted
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4107 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
The city’s Transferable Development Rights system that allows development potential
to be relocated from one area of the city to another was expanded in November 2022.
Under the amendment to the Land Development Regulations, several zoning districts
along the Shelburne Road and Williston Road corridors were designated as additional
“receiving areas” for the transfer. The amendment raises or eliminates the cap on the
allowed residential density in these areas. Now, with the purchase of TDRs from an
identified priority conservation area (which removes that area from future allowance
for development on site), the “receiving area” can have more housing in areas that are
served by infrastructure and are identified priority areas for infill and redevelopment.
Implementation Reporting: As of December 2023, no permits for new construction
have been issued using this provision; it should be noted that tools such as this
typically have longer implementation timelines as projects have a long lead time
from conception to construction.
3. CAP Sector Goal and Target Evaluation
This fall, City and CCRPC staff have engaged in developing a system and structure to track
emissions and the targets identified in the CAP. This would include running new data
through the model used to develop the CAP’s baseline inventory by sector of emission
(base year 2019) as well as the sector-specific targets within the Plan. Staff will have an
update early in the new year on this subject.
