The #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 2 master plan consists of an estimated 275 units of housing in two five-story buildings over two phases, and associated site improvements on 5.7 acres, 870 Williston Rd. PERMIT HISTORY Sketch plan application #SD-24-01 for this project was heard Feb 6, 2024. At the present time, the applicant has three concurrent applications under review. First is this master plan application. Second is the preliminary plat application for phase 1 of this master plan, consisting of 184 housing units in a 5-story building, which will be reviewed by the Board concurrently with this master plan application. Third is a form based code application for demolition of a wing of the existing Doubletree hotel and construction of a new wing, to be located between the existing hotel and Williston Road. That application is being reviewed administratively and is separate from, but related to, the master plan. The applicant has also submitted elements of a form based code application for construction of a parking garage west of and connected to the existing Doubletree hotel. That application is not yet complete. COMMENTS Development Review Planners Marla Keene and Planning and Zoning Director Paul Conner, herein after referred to as ‘Staff’, have reviewed the plans submitted by the applicant on March 29, 2024, and offer the following comments. Numbered items for Board review are in red. A) OVERVIEW The project is located in the Commercial 1 – Residential 12 (C1-R12) and Institutional and Agricultural North Zoning Districts, and a portion is located in Traffic and Transit Overlay districts. Other overlays include river corridor, habitat block, and wetland advisory. There is no existing PUD or master plan for the project area. The applicant has proposed to construct the master plan in two phases: • Phase 1 (shown in blue on the submitted phasing plan) which includes 184 units of housing, associated site amenity, and approximately 350 feet of public road and rec path. 1. Phase 1A includes a stormwater pond upgrade that Staff understands is required to be constructed to support the housing proposed in Phase 1. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant why this is listed as a separate phase. • Phase 2 (shown in pink on the submitted phasing plan) which includes an additional 91 units of housing and associated site amenity. • There is no phase of this proposed master plan which includes the necessary improvements to the site driveway to convert it to a public street, nor is it included in the phases listed as external to the master plan, which include the hotel addition and the parking garage. However improvements to that road are required in order for the housing to be built, both by the LDR and by the conclusions of the applicant’s traffic study. Recommendations pertaining to construction of the roadway are included below under 15.04H. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 3 B) ZONING DISTRICT TABLE C) C1-R12 Zoning District1 Required Existing Proposed Lot 1 Proposed Lot 2 # Min.

Rear Setback 30 ft N/A N/A Unknown # Staff has calculated lot size based on the total existing minus the applicant report area of Lot 1. However it is unclear from the provided plat whether the applicant has excluded the area of existing ROW from their reporting of project area. The future City ROW will be considered a separate lot and must be subdivided from the parent lot as part of the Phase 1 approval if not already separate. 2. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide a more simplified plat plan that shows only lots and easements & clarifies the area and layout of each of the three lots created by this project √ Zoning Compliance @ Staff considers these values are likely to change based on recomputation using the updated plat requested above. However, Staff considers they are likely to be in the allowable range. ^ The applicant has provided only a conceptual plan for the building on Lot 2 therefore Staff has assumed setbacks will change and has not reported them here. 1. Entire development area is located within C1-R12, though the subject property includes a large portion of land in the Institutional & Agricultural North zoning district, which is subject to different dimensional standards. 2. Allowable number of units is based on buildable area. See discussion below pertaining to natural resources under 15.B.04D Existing Conditions. C) MASTER PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA 15.B.03 Master Plan Review Process The following procedures apply to any subdivision or development project for which master plan review is requested or required: A. Pre-Application Sketch Plan Review. This took place on Feb 6, 2024. B. Master Plan Application. The administrative officer deemed the application complete on March 29, 2024. C. Combined Review #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 4 The applicant has requested to combine master plan with preliminary plat for Phase 1 of the project. Separate findings of fact must be issued. D. Neighborhood Meeting. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 25, 2024 at 6:30 PM in the Doubletree Hotel. Three members of the public attended. This meeting met all applicable criteria regarding notice, location, and accessibility. 3. The applicant has not yet provided the required minutes of the neighborhood meeting. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to do so, and to demonstrate either through verbal or written testimony how the comments at the neighborhood meeting were taken into consideration. E. Public Hearing. The public hearing has been warned and is taking place on May 7, 2024, and may be continued for further discussion should it be necessary to do so. 15.B.05 Review Standards Staff has located these review standards at the beginning of this report to frame the Board’s review of the project. However, the review standards are informed by the required submission components, therefore Staff has largely reserved discussion of compliance with required standards to the portion of this document pertaining to the submission components. (A) Findings. For Master Plan approval, the DRB must find that: (1) The Master Plan includes all the components required under 15.B.04 above, in sufficient detail to provide the framework and standards for future development under the plan, unless specifically waived by the DRB as not applicable to the proposed subdivision or development; Staff has provided a detailed review of submission requirements below in order to support this finding that all required application materials are provided. Staff has flagged the areas where this standard does not appear to be met with a red comment. (2) The overall type, pattern, and density of development, and allocation of land uses, are consistent with these Regulations and other City regulations in effect at the time of application, including relevant subdivision, zoning district or planned unit development standards; Compliance with each of the elements of this criterion is addressed in Section 15.B.04 below. (3) The proposed Development Plan demonstrates the efficient, coordinated, and integrated development and use of land which: a. Considers existing topography and physical site constraints; Staff considers this criterion met. b. Avoids or minimizes and mitigates the impacts of future development on environmental resources identified for protection, as enumerated in Article 12, and as incorporated into the overall design; The project avoids protected natural resources except the mapped river corridor west of the existing Doubletree hotel. Potential modification of the mapping for this river corridor is discussed elsewhere in this document. c. Defines an overall pattern of development, including proposed streets and blocks, that is consistent with the zoning district or proposed type of planned unit development; #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 5 Staff considers these criteria have been demonstrated to be met through the submitted materials reviewed below. d. Maintains street, pedestrian, and transit connectivity, and contiguous or accessible open space with the adjoining neighborhood, and within and between each phase of development; Staff’s analysis of connectivity, and specifically pedestrian connectivity, is included below under the review of required submission material, under Section 15.B.04.E. e. Avoids, or minimizes and mitigates the adverse impacts of development on adjacent properties and uses, through the designation of transition areas or buffer areas along the project perimeter; and Staff considers limited transition areas to be needed, discussed below. f. Includes adequate standards specific to each type and phase of development, to include guidance for the functional and aesthetic integration of development with the surrounding neighborhood, and provisions for buffering or screening incompatible land uses. Staff has included comments pertaining to design standards for the Board’s review under 15.B.04H below. It is important to note that the purpose of including design standards is to ensure sensitivity to the neighborhood context. (4) The Buildout Budget sets reasonable development parameters for the entire project, and as allocated for each phase of development, for reference in subsequent regulatory reviews, as necessary to identify and limit the cumulative and overall impacts of project development on City infrastructure, facilities and services. While Staff has identified some omissions pertaining to the buildout budget, Staff considers the overall impact of the project to be acceptable. (5) Proposed design standards and related guidance are sufficiently detailed to prescribe and direct coordinated development, consistent with the Master Plan and regulations in effect at the time of master plan approval, for the duration of the plan. Staff has included comments pertaining to design standards for the Board’s review under 15.B.04H below. It is important to note that the purpose of including design standards is to ensure sensitivity to the neighborhood context. (6) The Phasing Plan and Schedule: (a) are consistent with the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program; (b) ensure that all phases of development will occur in an orderly fashion; and that (c) infrastructure and facility improvements necessary to support each phase of development will be provided concurrently with such development, as may be further ensured through subsequent or separate regulatory review processes and development agreements. Staff considers these criteria met as discussed under Section 15.B.04.I. (7) The Management Plan: (a) defines a management structure for the duration of the Master Plan that supports long-term project viability through project buildout; #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 6 (b) identifies those principals or entities responsible for securing necessary municipal permits and approvals for development under the Master Plan; and (c) clearly identifies proposed ownership and responsibilities for the long-term management, maintenance and operation of capital and community assets, including any proposed dedications of land, facilities and infrastructure to the City. Staff considers these criteria met as discussed under 15.04.J. 15.B.06 Master Plan Approval, Effect, Duration, Amendment A. Decision. Within forty-five (45) days after the close of the public hearing on the Master Plan, the DRB must issue its written findings of fact and decision to approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the Master Plan. B. Subsequent Regulatory Review. In its approval of a Master Plan, the DRB shall specify the level of review and review processes required for subsequent applications filed under the Master Plan, provided such procedure is consistent with the intent of these Regulations and the following: (1) Sketch plan review is not required for any application for preliminary subdivision or site plan review that complies with the approved Master Plan, and associated conditions of approval. (2) The DRB may waive preliminary subdivision or site plan review for specified phases or portions of a project. (3) The DRB may in its decision specify allowed modifications or changes under the Master Plan which require only administrative review and approval by the Administrative Officer. Requested process waivers are discussed under 15.B.04(B) below. (C) Effect. Once a Master Plan has been approved, all subsequent land subdivision and development must conform to the Master Plan as approved. (1) The Development Review Board in issuing a decision shall make specific findings as to which components of the Master Plan are vested, based on the type, level, and detail of information provided in the Master Plan, and the amount of time the plan is intended to remain in effect. The Board may approve components or elements of the Master Plan as applicable to all subsequent applications; or determine those components or elements of the Master Plan that are vested, or not vested, for the duration of the plan. Staff recommends the following aspects of the master plan be vested, as may be modified by the Board’s review of the project. Staff intends the term “vested” to mean that subsequent phases of review will use the LDR applicable at the time the Master Plan application was submitted (in this case, the LDR adopted May 15, 2023) for the identified elements for the duration of the master plan approval. • Phase geometry (which areas are part of which phase). • Phase timing. • Overall density. • Buildable area. • Civic Space areas & Site Amenities. • Natural resource impacts under the Environmental Protection Standards. • Proposed street layout. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 7 • Proposed recreation path, sidewalk, and transit route layout. Additional connecting elements to individual phases may be required. • Building locations, heights, and footprints. • Max peak hour trip generation for the entire subject PUD. (2) Master Plan approval is binding upon the applicant, the owner(s), their agents, and successors in interest. (3) Once the Master Plan is approved, the applicant may apply for other permits and approvals referenced in the conditions of Master Plan approval, as required prior to the start of construction. (4) Unless the applicant fails to comply with the conditions of Master Plan approval and these Regulations, the Master Plan as approved shall not be modified, revoked, or otherwise impaired by any action of the City without the consent of the applicant. For purposes of subsequent regulatory reviews under the Master Plan, for the duration of the plan the regulations in effect at the time of Master Plan approval shall apply to vested elements under Subsection(C)(1). For vested elements, Regulations enacted following master plan approval shall apply only as necessary to address public health and safety or, at the request of the applicant, to incorporate types or forms of development allowed under more recently adopted regulations, in conjunction with an application to amend the Master Plan. (D) Duration. The duration of the Master Plan, as specified in the conditions of DRB approval, shall be determined by the DRB in consultation with the Planning Director and City Engineer. (1) The Master Plan should be approved for a specified period of time, not to exceed six (6) years, for which the impacts of proposed development can clearly be ascertained from the quality and detail of the information provided; which allows sufficient time for project planning, financing, permitting, and development, including required regulatory reviews; and which accommodates full project buildout in relation to the timing of planned infrastructure and facility improvements. Staff notes this timeframe will start with issuance of a decision on this application. (2) The Master Plan shall remain in effect as approved until the development allowed by the plan has been completed, the plan expires, or the plan is amended or superseded. (3) Applicant shall submit a complete preliminary or final subdivision or site plan application (as applicable) for at least one phase of the project within two (2) years of the date of Master Plan approval. Concurrent review with Master Plan shall be deemed to have satisfied this requirement. Failure to submit a complete application within two (2) years of the date of approval shall result in expiration of the Master Plan. The applicant has submitted a concurrent preliminary final plat for Phase 1 of the project. Staff considers this criterion met. (4) The duration of an approved Master Plan may be extended by the DRB for cause, if the request and reasons for the extension are submitted in writing prior to the Master Plan expiration date; however, in no event shall the duration of an approved Master Plan exceed ten (10) years in total, to include all authorized extensions or amendments. (5) An expired Master Plan may be extended, renewed, or amended only on submission as a new Master Plan, subject to full DRB review under 15.B.03 and the Land Development Regulations in effect at the time of application. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 8 (6) A complete application for a Master Plan may be submitted at any time subject to the rules in effect at the time of submission. (7) Pursuant to 24 V.S.A. 4463, any site plan or subdivision plat, and associated conditions of site plan, subdivision, or Planned Unit Development approval that are recorded in city land records under an approved Master Plan, shall remain in effect as recorded following Master Plan expiration. (E) Amendment. There are specific criteria by which the applicant may amend the master plan, and whether such application is considered a minor amendment or a substantial amendment. Unlike prior versions of the LDR, the only quantitative metric differentiating the types of amendments is the involvement of lands not previously included in the master plan. Staff considers the lands included in this master plan application to not yet be well defined, as discussed herein and recommends the Board keep this dependency in mind when reviewing the standards pertaining to master plan limits. 4. Staff recommends the Board include a condition that no new development areas may be established within the land included in the present Master Plan for the duration of the initial master plan and extensions thereof. The purpose of this recommendation is to circumvent a “one lot at a time” approach to the master plan. 15.B.04 Master Plan Components The applicant has submitted an application package attempting to address each of the required master plan submission materials. Staff has reviewed the submitted materials and provided an analysis of each required element as follows. (B) Project Description. A map, narrative, and accompanying table(s) that describe: • The overall vision for and scope of the proposed development; • The land area and properties to be included under each phase of development; • Current property ownership and contact information; Staff considers the applicant has adequately addressed these three requirements in their application narrative. • Current zoning district designations; The applicant has incorrectly identified that the entire parcel is zoned C1-R12. The parcel is split roughly evenly between C1-R12 and Institutional & Agricultural North. • Proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) type(s) under Article 15.C, as applicable; The applicant has indicated their intention to apply as a general PUD (15.C.07). As discussed at sketch, if the Board determines that the habitat blocks are required to be excluded from the computation of buildable area, the applicant must apply instead as a conservation PUD in order to be permitted for the desired number of housing units. • Project consistency with applicable zoning and subdivision regulations; and The applicant has stated they believe that review of this application is subject to limitations set forth in 24 VSA 4413 pertaining to Limitations on Municipal Bylaws. Relevant excerpts of 24 VSA 4413 are below. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 9 (a)(1) The following uses may be regulated only with respect to location, size, height, building bulk, yards, courts, setbacks, density of buildings, off-street parking, loading facilities, traffic, noise, lighting, landscaping, and screening requirements, and only to the extent that regulations do not have the effect of interfering with the intended functional use: … (B) public and private schools and other educational institutions certified by the Agency of Education; … (4) This subsection does not prevent an appropriate municipal panel, when issuing a decision on an application for land development over which the panel otherwise has jurisdiction under this chapter, from imposing reasonable conditions under subsection 4464(b) of this title to protect wildlife habitat; threatened or endangered species; or other natural, historic, or scenic resources and does not prevent the municipality from enforcing such conditions, provided that the reasonable conditions do not restrict or regulate forestry operations unrelated to land development. The applicant has provided an argument, prepared by their attorney, describing their position on the applicability of 24 VSA 4413. Specifically, the applicant has argued that the Habitat Block Overlay District, which the City of South Burlington has adopted pursuant to 24 VSA 4414, are not applicable to the project as they are not one of the specifically listed types of regulations applicable to educational facilities. However, since the purposes of that regulation are to regulate location of development and to protect wildlife habitat, it may be the case that the Habitat Blocks are permitted to be regulated as a locational standard. The issue is nuanced in this instance owed to the fact that the applicant is largely not proposing development within the Habitat Block but is seeking to use the residential density from the Habitat Block to obtain their desired total number of dwelling units. 5. Staff notes it appears the applicant has used the State habitat block layer and not that which was specifically developed for the City of South Burlington and adopted by Council. Staff considers the habitat blocks on the property appear to be smaller in area than the applicant has calculated, and recommends the Board require the applicant to update their map and calculations prior to closing the hearing. In anticipation of this hearing, Staff recommends the Board have a deliberative session with its legal counsel. In response to the Board’s concern that the project would not be perpetually student housing, the applicant has made the following statement in their application narrative: To give the DRB assurance about the future of this project, UVM and AAM 15 have come to agreement to include language in our Operating Agreement guaranteeing that the primary use will be student housing throughout the life of the project. Staff recommends the Board do the following. 6. Review the staff report as presented without closing the hearing, including listening to the applicant’s argument pertaining to the applicability of 24 VSA 4413, schedule deliberations to discuss the applicant’s argument, and resume the hearing at a future date. 7. Ask the applicant to specifically enumerate what they mean by “primary use,” and determine in deliberative session the applicability of 24 VSA 4413. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 10 • Any requested modifications or waivers, as allowed under the Regulations. The applicant has requested a number of modifications or waivers. The first three requests pertain to design standards. The applicant is eligible to ask for a waiver of design standards as part of the concurrent preliminary plat application, but not as part of the master plan. Therefore discussion of the requested design standard waivers is not included in this report. The remaining waiver requests pertain to process and are provided below. 1. Up to 500 SF for administrative review (instead of 40 SF). 2. Administrative review for percentage of glazing dimension and precise location of windows changes of up to 8% – street facing and non-street facing. 3. Administrative review for changes up to 10% of apartment unit numbers. 4. Administrative review for stormwater changes that do not affect the project. 5. Administrative review for light pole location adjustments, with no change to # of poles. 6. Administrative review for plant substitutions that do not affect project. 7. Administrative review for exterior materials changes by up to 15%. 8. Up to 10% ability to switch landscape funds between UVM and the hotel project. Staff considers these requests generally allowable and recommends the Board grant them, with the following two modifications. 8. No. 6: The Board should require the applicant to be more specific as to what it means to be a plant substitution that does not affect the project. Substitutions of plants of the same size in the same genus is already permitted by right. 9. No 8: The Board cannot permit a general “switch” of funds, but Staff considers the Board may permit some of the required landscaping budget to be expended on the adjacent site if other landscaping requirements, such as buffering and shading, are met. The circumstances are unusual here in that the zoning district boundary between these sites changes from city-wide standards to the Form Based Code, which have different processes. If the properties were all in one or the other of the districts, they would be eligible to be considered together under the FBC or Master Plan. Given this, Staff considers the Board may exercise some latitude to have the site function well together. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to clarify in which direction they expect to locate landscaping budget. Locating landscaping funds required for the hotel on the housing site is permitted by administrative approval within the form based code; this approval may only include permission to locate funding the other direction. (C) Context Report. A map and accompanying narrative that describe the area proposed for subdivision, development, or redevelopment, in relation to the existing and planned pattern and type of development in surrounding neighborhood, and to existing and planned City facilities, services, and infrastructure in the vicinity of the project, to include: The purpose of establishing a context report is to allow the applicant and the Board to understand how the project should be laid out to complement existing and proposed community resources. 10. Staff notes the applicant has included inconsistent designations throughout the project and recommends the Board require the applicant to specifically clarify the limits of each described area, including civic spaces, conservation areas, rights of way, site amenities, and phases. It may be necessary to create multiple maps to achieve this. Since the master plan is a document against which future phases will be reviewed, staff considers it important that the Board require clear demarcation prior to closing the hearing. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 11 • Existing parcels, and existing and planned streets and blocks, recreation paths, transit routes, buildings, land uses, parks, civic spaces, and other open spaces and community facilities located within ¼ -mile of project boundaries; The applicant has not provided a map that shows the required elements within the required vicinity, which would encompass a portion of East Terrace, a portion of Patchen Road, the Spear Street jug handle, and a portion of the parking and road network surrounding the University of Vermont and the hospital. 11. Staff recommends the Board direct the applicant to provide a clear, dedicated map for demonstrating how the master plan area interacts with these adjoining spaces. • Proposed street, recreation path, transit, infrastructure, and open space connections between existing, planned, and proposed development; The applicant has provided a narrative description of these connections. 12. The applicant has omitted a pedestrian connection to Centennial Woods, upon which the applicant is relying for the majority of its required Civic Space (discussed under 15.04H below). Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to include a direct pedestrian connection to Centennial Woods as part of the first phase of the project. The applicant has mentioned in their narrative their intention to dedicate a portion of the project Civic Space to the City of South Burlington. This is addressed under 15.B.04H below. 13. The applicant’s narrative description omits any discussion of public transit and how it will be accommodated by the site. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to include a review of public transit and accommodate pedestrian access to it in the connections on the proposed master plan site. • A more detailed Development Context Analysis as required for an Infill or Redevelopment (IRD) PUD under Article 15.C, as applicable; and Not applicable. • A description of how concerns raised in the Neighborhood Meeting will be addressed. As noted above, the applicant included a sign in sheet from the Neighborhood Meeting but omitted the minutes. This criterion is not met. (D) Existing Conditions Report. A Site Conditions Map for the entire tract and accompanying narrative, that depict and describe existing: • Topographic conditions, including elevation contours, surface waters, wetlands, and other natural features; • Natural Resources under Article 12, or as otherwise regulated by the City; • Existing streets, blocks, and utility corridors, including existing rights-of-way; and • Existing land uses and structures, including any historic sites or structures listed or eligible for listing on the Vermont State Register of Historic Places. The applicant has provided plan sheets DP-1.0 to demonstrate these features. The applicant has indicated the topography slopes gently downward from south to north across the development area and steeply downward beyond the development area. There are no wetlands proposed to be impacted. As discussed at sketch, the project includes impacts to a mapped river corridor, which may be adjusted in accordance with the procedure described in LDR 12.07F(4). At sketch, the Board #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 12 requested demonstration at the master plan level of review that ANR intends to issue a letter of determination to relocate the river corridor delineation. Without such relocation, the required stormwater treatment for Phase 1 of the project cannot be constructed and the project cannot move forward. 14. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to provide an update on the ANR’s determination, and refrain from closing the hearing until at minimum a letter of intent is provided. (E) Development Plan. One or more maps and an accompanying narrative that depict and describe the overall pattern, type, and density of development proposed for the entire project, and for each phase of development, to include: • Natural resource areas identified for protection, consistent with adopted Environmental Protection Standards under Article 12; These are shown on plan sheet MP-1.0 • Any designated Conservation Area or other open space areas, Conservation areas are not applicable in general PUDs. Should the Board determine a conservation PUD to be necessary due to habitat blocks being applicable, conservation areas will need to include protected natural resources. • Any land area to be set aside for renewable energy production; 15. The applicant has indicated in their narrative that they intend to include geothermal heating. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to show areas planned for geothermal heating on the development plans. 16. 3.19 requires installation of a solar PV system on the roof of the building, or an equivalent on- site renewable energy system. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to clarify for which buildings the geothermal system is intended to meet the solar installation requirements. • The proposed street and block grid within and connecting each phase of development, including the location of major streets by Street Type, and any existing rights-of-way, easements or intersections identified for relocation; The applicant is only proposing one street. The remaining project roadways are proposed to be driveways. The applicant is proposing to convert the existing driveway connecting to Centennial Woods Way to a bicycle boulevard – urban. As discussed in more detail under 15.B.04H below, the applicant has excluded a portion of the roadway requiring improvement from the master plan. Additionally they have indicated that they are requesting modifications to the roadway cross section. Staff is generally supportive of the requested street type. Detailed review of the roadway design, including comments on the requested modification, is included below and in the concurrent subdivision review. • Proposed recreation paths, transit routes, infrastructure, and utility corridors between and serving each phase of development; The applicant has proposed a sidewalk and rec path along the street connecting the two phases. These are supplemented by sidewalks in proximity to the master plan area. As noted above, insufficient information regarding the existing transit routes has been provided to evaluate whether adequate connectivity to transit has been provided. Utilities to serve the proposed development are in the existing driveway proposed to be converted to a street. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 13 The Director of Public Works reviewed the plans on April 15, 2024 and offers the following additional relevant comments. • These facilities will likely need grease traps and grease trap permits. • The wastewater pump station will remain private. • One or more designated Development Areas, to include land use allocation areas by proposed use type(s), at minimum to include any designated residential areas, nonresidential areas, mixed use areas, civic space areas, and the location of principal or shared parking areas serving the development. Development areas are a characteristic of Conservation and Traditional Neighborhood Development PUD types and are not applicable to this application. Notwithstanding, 10% civic space is required as part of subdivisions and is discussed under 15.B.04(H) below. • Any proposed transition areas along the project perimeter, in which proposed development will either be integrated with or buffered from adjoining properties and development; The applicant has not proposed any integration or buffering with adjoining development. When the applicant provides the required context map, Staff considers it will be more apparent whether additional integration is required. As discussed above, connectivity to existing sidewalks is largely provided. • Existing buildings to be incorporated in proposed development or redevelopment; and 17. The project is directly adjacent to an existing hotel and convention center, with which it is proposed to share a driveway. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to describe how the buildings in each phase will be designed to be relatively complimentary to the existing adjacent structure. • Public and private transportation, infrastructure, and utility improvements necessary to accommodate each phase of development, and the entire project at buildout, to include any land, facilities, or improvements proposed for public dedication, consistent with the City’s adopted Official Map. The applicant has indicated that they will provide a private shuttle to serve residents. Staff has provided additional discussion of the need for private transportation in the staff report for the concurrent subdivision application as it pertains to the requested parking waiver. The applicant has indicated in their response to this section that the existing driveway (to be converted to a road) will be given as an easement to the City of South Burlington. Staff notes the road must be provided as an irrevocable offer of dedication with an associated right of way, not an easement. As noted above, Staff is recommending the Board require the applicant to provide a revised plat. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to include the provision of the road as separate parcel subject to an IOD in the revised plat. Staff has already discussed this with the applicant, and they have agreed to make this change. The applicant has submitted a traffic study for the master plan, which makes the following mitigation recommendations. 1. Relocate the pedestrian crossing from the east side of Staples Plaza / DoubleTree Drive to the west side to provide a continuous route for the shared use path across Williston Road. 2. Relocate the westbound bus stop to the west side (far side) of the intersection to #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 14 serve the path. 3. Provide a transit shelter and two U-style bicycle racks at both existing eastbound and relocated westbound Green Mountain Transit stops. 4. Evaluate if the width of the Staples Plaza entering and exiting lanes can be reduced, continuing to allow for commercial truck (WB-62) access into and out of the plaza. 5. Adjust the Staples Plaza / DoubleTree Drive PM peak hour signal timing to provide a protected pedestrian phase along the eastbound approach to the intersection, with concurrent southbound left turn phasing and restricted eastbound and southbound right turns on red 18. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to coordinate with Green Mountain Transit regarding the potential relocation of the bus stop, evaluate the geometry of the lanes as recommended in item #4 and pass the recommendation onto the Department of Public Works, and update the concurrent preliminary plat plans to incorporate the recommendations for physical improvements of the traffic study. The Deputy Director of Capital Projects reviewed the provided traffic study on April 15, 2024 and has provided the following comments. • This project must include improvements to the pedestrian crossing infrastructure on Williston Road. This should include improvements to the crosswalk on the east side of the intersection as well as addition of a new crosswalk on the west side of the intersection. This would require an exclusive pedestrian phase with no permitted vehicle movements. Table 16 shows the exclusive phase having a very high impact on vehicular operations, but it maintained the existing cycle length. Changing the cycle length may improve vehicular operations. DPW would be happy to have additional conversations about vehicle operations vs. more protected bike/ped facilities. It should be noted that Burlington manages this traffic signal so coordination with our adjacent municipality will be required. • Given the type of use and prevalence of bicycling with students that will be living in the development we recommend more than 2 bicycle racks at the bus stops. • In a future application, please confirm that any roads proposed to be dedicated to the City will be repaved, striped, and have signage installed per MUTCD requirements. 19. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to update the traffic study to evaluate an exclusive pedestrian phase, and to provide four bicycle racks on the lands of the project adjacent to each bus stop on the concurrent preliminary plat plans. (F) Summary Statistics. The following project statistics or metrics, presented in an easy to reference tabular format, must be provided for the entire tract or project area, and for each phase of development, unless waived by the DRB as not relevant or applicable to a particular project: • Total tract or parcel area, and the area associated with each phase of development, in acres and square feet; for protection under Article 12, and by resource type (Hazard, Level I, Level II); and the area, in acres, of any designated Conservation Area(s) or lots, as shown on the Master Plan; The applicant provided a table which has been included in the packet for the Board. • Total area, in acres, included in existing and planned street rights-of-way; the number and length in feet of proposed streets by Street Type, and the number of street intersections, as shown on the Master Plan. The applicant is only proposing one street. No street intersections are proposed. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 15 • Total number of existing and planned blocks; and the block perimeter and average block length for each block, in feet, as shown on the Master Plan. Staff considers that the construction of private streets creates blocks, but construction of driveways does not. Therefore there is only one block, which is approximately 950 feet long. 15.A.16.B includes standards applicable to newly created blocks, which include the following standards: 15.A.01(B)(1) Blocks must be of sufficient developable area, length and width to accommodate building lots that meet zoning district, transect zone (building envelope standards), or PUD standards with regard to intended use, lot size and dimensions and, where applicable, proposed building types. 15.A.01(B)(4) Unless otherwise specified under these Regulations, or as approved by the DRB under 15.A.01(B); in order to ensure and maintain a pedestrian-oriented scale of development within residential and mixed use subdivisions: (a) The block perimeter must not exceed 2,000 feet (b) The minimum block length allowed is 200 feet; and (c) The average block length (for all block sides or faces) must not exceed 500 feet. While these are subdivision and not master plan standards, Staff recommends the Board consider them at this stage of review because if additional roads are needed, it will significantly alter the master plan. Staff notes there are not specific lot size or building types within a general PUD. 20. Staff considers the existing pattern of development, presence of the Interstate to the east of the site, and presence of various natural resources to the north make meeting the block length and perimeter unfeasible. Staff recommends that the Board determine whether they agree with Staff that the proposed 950 ft block length is acceptable. The Director of Public Works reviewed the proposed plans on April 15, 2024 and offers the following additional relevant comment. The initial driveway into the project site is located ~125 from the intersection with Williston Road. If section 13.01C(3) applies to the project it indicates that driveways shall be located 200' from signalized intersections. This comment refers to the driveway for Phase 2. 13.02C(3) does apply and requires driveways to be located more than 200-ft from a signalized intersection. There is an existing stormwater pond detaining runoff from Williston Road located approximately 200- ft from the intersection. 21. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to work with Staff and the Director of Public Works to develop a solution that addresses the requirement that driveways be located more than 200-ft from a signalized intersection prior to closing the hearing. There may be some City knowledge that could be helpful to addressing this issue. • Total Buildable Area, in acres and square feet, as allocated by land use or building type, within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan, to exclude existing and planned street rights-of-way, but to include existing and proposed civic space lots and parking lots. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 16 The applicant has provided a table with this information. The limits of Phase 1 do not appear large enough to accommodate the reported areas, and Staff assumes that the reported areas are intended to refer to some portion of the property that is the Centennial Woods natural area. 22. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to revise their plans and summary tables to reflect the buildable area, which excludes rights of way and transmission mains. This is discussed in greater detail in association with civic spaces below. • Number of proposed dwelling units by housing or building type within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan; The applicant has provided the following table. # Bedrooms Phase 1 Phase 2 1 4 Unknown 2 31 Unknown 3 121 Unknown 4 28 Unknown Total 184 91 • Total gross floor area by use or building type for nonresidential and mixed use development within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan; and 23. The applicant has not provided the total gross floor area. Staff recommends the Board direct the applicant to do so, understanding that the project is all proposed to be residential. • Other statistics or data required by the DRB as necessary to determine conformance with relevant standards under these Regulations. Staff has noted additional requests for information in various red comments throughout this report. (G) Buildout Analysis and Budget. Based on the statistics provided under (F) above, the applicant must also provide an analysis for each of the following based on total forecasted demand at buildout, and as allocated for each phase of development, for use in determining the project’s total “Buildout Budget”: • Minimum and maximum acreage allocations by land use or building type, as percentages of the Buildable Area within designated Development Areas; Land use types are defined in 15.C.04D(4) as Residential, Mixed-Use, Civic Space, Resource Land (consisting of protected natural resources and otherwise conserved areas), and Unallocated. Land Use Types (acres) Phase 1 Phase 2 Area outside Development Phases Total Residential 4 3.6 7.1 14.7 Civic Spaces 0.8 0 5 5.8 Resource Land 0.1 0.7 27.9 28.7 Unallocated 0.4 0.7 37.2 38.4 • Gross and net (or effective) development densities by land use or building type; #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 17 The applicant is proposing a total of 275 homes. The gross density of that proposal, counting the entirety of the subject 87.6-acre master plan, is 3.14 homes/acre. The applicant has not provided a clear computation of areas of existing and planned street and railroad rights of way or transmission line corridor or easements, therefore it is not possible at this time to calculate net density. 24. Staff recommends the Board direct the applicant to provide a clear table of areas of rights of way and easements within the master plan area, regardless of the Board’s determination on whether habitat blocks are applicable under 24 VSA 4413. Within the C1-R12 zoning district, the maximum allowable density is 12 units an acre. The applicant may exceed this maximum via the use of Transferable Development Rights or the Inclusionary Density Bonus, as described in Articles 19 and 18, respectively, of the LDRs. • Minimum number or percentage of affordable housing units required within residential and mixed-use development areas, as applicable pursuant to Article 18; 18.01B(3)(a) exempts “Projects that are developed by an educational institution for the exclusive residential use and occupancy of its students.” 25. At sketch, the applicant indicated there was a possibility that the use would revert to open market after 20 years, and that before that time, housing not used by students would be available to the public. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to present their revised arrangement (potentially in writing) to ensure that the project meets the test of being for the “exclusive residential use and occupancy of its students.” As noted above, the applicant’s revised statement indicates the use will be primarily for students. • Minimum percentage, and area in square feet, of required civic space(s) within designated Development Areas; Civic Spaces are slightly different from Site Amenities. Civic Spaces are required for any new subdivision of land, which is proposed as part of this application. The Civic Space and Site Amenities are shown conceptually on Sheet MP-1.2, and the applicant has identified which site amenities will be constructed with which phase. Areas are enumerated under 15.B.04H below. • Maximum peak hour trip generation rates, by use type; The applicant’s traffic study concludes that the project will generate 106 PM peak hour trips. Recommendations of the traffic study are discussed above. • Maximum water supply and wastewater system demand, by use type; The applicant has submitted an estimated maximum water demand of 75,735 gpd. The estimated maximum wastewater demand is based on the distribution of units. The applicant estimates 36,640 gpd for Phase 1 but has not provided an estimate for Phase 2. 26. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to estimate a wastewater system demand for phase 2. • Maximum total impervious surface (percentage, total square footage), and volume of stormwater runoff per designated Development Area; and The applicant has indicated the master plan includes 3.26 acres of of impervious coverage, and the total development area is 4.90 acres. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to update Sheet MP-1.0 to clearly show the limits of the master plan area. The applicant has submitted their stormwater calculations as part of concurrent Form #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 18 Based Code application #SP-24-08 , which includes the design for this project as well. The Department of Public Works reviewed the provided plans on April 15, 2024 and offers the following comments pertaining to stormwater. • A future application must include information regarding how the proposed project will meet State regulatory requirement as laid out in the Flow Restoration Plan approved by Vermont DEC. • Minimum drainage pipe size is 15”. The City Stormwater Department reviewed the provided plans on March 6, 2024, and offers the following comments. 1. This project is located within the Centennial Brook watershed. 2. This project is one of three being completed on the same parcel. Across the three projects, 1.82 acres of new impervious are proposed, 5.59 acres of impervious are proposed to be redeveloped, and there is 3.76 acres of existing impervious. The project site is designated as a 3-acre site as well. 3. There are several existing ponds that currently treat impervious onsite. The existing stormwater practices do not meet standards set by the 2017 VSMM. 4. The project proposes to expand existing impervious area onsite by greater than 5,000 sf and disturb greater than 1 acre of land. It will therefore require a stormwater permit and construction permit from the Vermont DEC Stormwater Division. The applicant should acquire these permits before starting construction. 5. As the project proposes to expand existing impervious area by greater than 5,000 sf, as well as containing greater than one-half acre of impervious area, the project is subject to the requirements of section 13.05 of the LDRs. 6. The submitted HydroCAD does not include nodes to model the existing stormwater treatment practices onsite. As such, it cannot be determined how the proposed conditions compare to existing conditions onsite, particularly in the 1-yr and 25-yr storm events as described in section 13.05 of the LDRs. 7. In the submitted HydroCAD, the infiltration chambers are shown separate from the rest of the conveyance system that drains to Gravel Wetland #1, however the plans show that the outlet structure of the infiltration chambers connect to stormwater conveyance that discharges to Gravel Wetland #1. Please revise. 8. The area highlighted below does not appear to be in the HydroCAD model. Based on the configuration of the conveyance system, this will drain to Gravel Wetland #1. Please add a node to include this area. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 19 9. The area highlighted below is not accounted for in the HydroCAD model and does not flow to the proposed treatment practices. Based on the existing conveyance system, this area flows to the retention basin located on the adjacent UVM property. Does this treatment practice have the capacity to treated new and redeveloped impervious area? Also, does this practice meet standards set by the VSMM and described in the LDRs? 10. There are several trees proposed over stormwater pipes. These will present issues in the future when the roots grow and will cause issues with future maintenance of these pipes. The southern most of the highlighted trees is also proposed within 1 ft of a catch basin cover, which will cause impacts. Please revise. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 20 11. Is the below tree existing? Woody vegetation is not allowed within the footprint of a gravel wetland. Though these comments are more detailed than is generally expected of the applicant at Master Plan, Staff has included them here because they have the potential to alter the size of the proposed stormwater treatment practices, which may require reconfiguration of the limits of the proposed phases. 27. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to evaluate whether the comments will affect the #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 21 master plan configuration, including land use allocations or phase limits. • Other measures or parameters required by the DRB as necessary to identify and limit the forecasted impacts of development on municipal facilities, infrastructure and services, and properties and uses within the vicinity of the project. Staff, in their review of this application, have not identified additional necessary buildout analysis or budget information beyond that which has already been required by the LDR. Deficiencies in the provided information are described herein. (H) Design Standards. The application must include proposed standards, specifications, illustrations, best management practices, or other forms of guidance for the following, consistent with City regulations in effect at the time of Master Plan approval, as applicable to all subsequent development under the Master Plan: The purpose of this section to evaluate the standards the applicant has set for themselves that will ensure a cohesive design within the master plan area and that will apply to the entire Master Plan. • Protections for natural resources defined and regulated under Article 12, consistent with the standards and accepted mitigation measures of Article 12. The applicant has indicated there are no natural resource impacts proposed as part of this Master Plan. No particular protection measures are proposed. However it does appear that there are areas of steep slope and habitat block impacts, as discussed above; see plan sheet MP-1.0. Staff considers the proposed layout of the project to be adequately protective of natural resources, provided the sought recommendation to change the river corridor is issued. However, the Board is welcome to discuss additional measures with the applicant if desired. • The mix or allocation of land uses, as specified for each phase of development; Land use allocation is discussed under 15.B.04(F) above. As a general PUD, the only requirement for land use allocation is 10% civic spaces, discussed elsewhere in this document. • Typical street cross-sections by Street Type, as referenced under Article 11.A; The applicant has proposed an urban bicycle boulevard – connector and has provided a sheet showing the typical roadway cross section within the limits of the master plan. This street type is designed to convey vehicles and pedestrians from neighborhood to neighborhood and from neighborhood to destination. The below table compares the required vs. proposed roadway elements. Required Provided 5’ sidewalk on one side, 10’ rec path on other side Yes 6’ greenbelt Yes Parallel parking on one side 28. No. The Board should consider whether, as an upgrade to an existing driveway, parallel parking should be provided. Staff reminds the Board that the provided right of way width is intended to accommodate parallel parking, and the Form Based Code portion of the roadway is intended to eventually be built out with buildings along 80% of its length. #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 22 Two-way traffic on two lanes with 9 – 10 ft travel width No. The applicant is proposing 12-ft travel lanes on the curved section of the roadway. The straight section of the roadway outside the subject property is proposed to have 10-ft travel lanes. Staff supports this modification due to the curved nature of the road. 60-ft right of way width Yes Vertical curb on both sides Yes 25 mph design speed Yes The traffic study recommends improvement of the section of the roadway between the limits of Phase 1 and Williston Road, but these recommended improvements are excluded from the master plan. 29. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide improvements to the street between the limits of Phase 1 and Williston Road. If the Board concludes it to be more appropriate, Staff considers an alternative would be to condition issuance of the first zoning permit under the master plan upon issuance of the zoning permit for construction of the garage, and requiring the garage to include the necessary roadway improvements. • Typical Civic Space and other proposed open space types, as referenced under Article 11.B; The applicant is proposing two Civic Spaces and several Site Amenities. The proposed open spaces are best shown on Sheet MP-1.2 ‘Civic and Amenity Space Plan’. As alluded to above, the applicant must provide 10% of the buildable area as Civic Spaces. Buildable area is specifically defined as the total area of the parcel to be subdivided (87.6 acres), less the area occupied by the following physical and legal site limitations or constraints. • “Hazards” Hazards include floodplain, floodway, river corridor, Class II wetlands and buffers, and Very Steep slopes, and constitute 47.7 acres of the project area (smaller if the river corridor is modified). • “Level I Resources” Level I resources include habitat blocks and habitat connectors, and constitute 24.4 acres of the project area. • Existing and planned street and railroad rights-of way. The planned street ROW is as yet unreported. • Transmission line corridors or easements, except upon request of the applicant that it be designated as Buildable Area. There is a transmission line corridor in the rear of the master plan area which is as yet unreported. Buildable area is therefore not yet known, and will depend on both the area of rights of way and of transmission corridors as well as on the Board’s determination as to whether the applicant is subject to habitat block regulations. Therefore the amount of required civic space is not yet known. 30. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to update the project plans to clearly document the areas of each of the elements of buildable area, and provide a summary table. Once this is done, and a determination is made on 24 VSA 4413, Staff considers the civic space acreage should be revisited. Civic Space Types Wooded Area – The applicant has proposed 5.9 acres of the existing Centennial Woods natural area to be designated as a civic space for this project. Unfortunately, “wooded area” is not a permitted #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 23 Civic Space type. Instead, it is a site amenity type of open space. The Centennial Woods natural area is a significant existing amenity that will be available to residents of the project (and is currently available to the general public), therefore Staff recommends the Board work towards finding a path forward for its use. Generally, a Civic Space is a neighborhood scale open space, while a Site Amenity is a open space scaled for a specific site. Because of it’s large and public nature, the Board may consider granting a modification to allow the proposed wooded area to count as a Civic Space as a way to better meet the purpose of the standards. The Director of Planning reviewed the provided plans on April 10, 2024 and offers the following relevant comment. It would seem appropriate to allow portions of centennial woods to qualify as these are a significant amenity to the area. However, any such credit should be conditioned upon / matched with a specific amenity plan (trails & trail enhancements, benches, etc. and not just as “woods”. Related, why is this section of the woods specifically included while others are not? Is this the best location for such improvements to benefit the future residents? In order to qualify as a site amenity type open space, a wooded area must include a minimum of 2,500 sf, and only land within 50-ft of the improved area may count towards the required site amenity. It must be on-site, and include improvements such as cleared paths and benches. The majority must be covered with tree canopy. 31. Staff recommends the Board consider permitting the wooded area as a Civic Space, but only if enhancements are provided such as cleared paths and benches, and only within 50-ft of the enhancements. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to present a proposal, and calculate the revised area. Greenway – The applicant has proposed a 0.36 acre multiuse path as a greenway. This multiuse path is located in the ROW proposed to be dedicated to the City, and continues beyond the limits of the Master Plan to Williston Road. In order to qualify as a Civic Space, a greenway should be a linear, informal, primarily natural greenspace along or through a natural feature, and be connecting neighborhoods, open space areas, public facilities, or mixed use centers. It may serve as a buffer between incompatible development, must be at least 50-ft wide, and connect to the existing or planned open space network. Specifically, it must be independent of building frontage or bordering streets, but a street may serve as a boundary. The Director of Planning reviewed the provided plans on April 10, 2024 and offers the following relevant comment. Recommend the Board ask the applicant to elaborate on how this qualifies as a greenway. Specifically (1) what will be the appearance of the riparian corridor to the west, (2) will this “greenway” character extend northwest and south of the small proposed section, and (3) what typical amenities are proposed within the greenway. This area can potentially qualify but would need to show that it is not an “island” of a greenway but rather an interconnected amenity. 32. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to provide more information as to the design of the proposed greenway. The applicant has proposed a portion of the greenway to be within the proposed 60-ft ROW. Staff has reviewed the proposal with the Director of Public Works, who indicated the City will accept #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 24 responsibility for maintenance of a recreation path and typical street trees and lighting fixtures, but not other elements of the greenway. 33. Staff recommends the Board discuss with the applicant how the they will develop the Greenway as a “informal primary natural greenspace,” when its central feature appears to be a recreation path. Staff considers some additional land shaping & landscaping to be necessary beyond what the applicant has provided, but ultimately that the area should be achievable as a Greenway. In addition, the applicant’s overall plan shows that the proposed rec path will be continued to Williston Road, though it’s construction has been excluded from any phase of the master plan as discussed above. 34. If the Board requires the applicant to construct the full roadway improvements to Williston Road as recommended above, Staff considers the Board may also grant credit for a Greenway to Williston Road under the same framework as decided above. Site Amenities Site amenities are reviewed in detail in association with each phase. Staff considers it sufficient that the applicant has provided a concept for this master plan application. Courtyard – The applicant has proposed three courtyards, two for phase 1 and one for phase 2. Courtyards must be between 5,000 and 20,000 sf and surrounded on three to four sides by a building or buildings. They must have substantial seating and plantings, and sunlight to the sitting areas for most of the day. Snippet/Parklet – The applicant has proposed a snippet/parklet in association with Phase 1. This area must be between 600 and 4,000 sf and adjacent to the public right of way or operable building entry, and must be primarily focused on fixed seating and landscaping. • Typical block and building lot dimensions and configurations, consistent with applicable subdivision and zoning district regulations, or PUD type, and for designated transition areas as necessary to complement or match the adjoining pattern of development; As noted previously, the created block is approximately 950 ft long. The minimum lot size in the C1-R12 zoning district is 40,000 square feet. Staff will review compliance with this criterion once a revised plat is provided. • Typical building types, as applicable and referenced under Article 11.C, including proposed housing types, and building elevations; Both buildings are proposed to be multifamily and five stories tall. • Building height and setback standards as applicable by zoning district, PUD or building type; and for designated transition areas, as necessary to complement or match the adjoining pattern and form of development; The applicant has requested a waiver of setbacks as part of the concurrent preliminary plat application for Phase 1. Maximum allowable height in the C1-LR zoning district is 5 stories. The applicant has indicated that rooftop equipment will protrude approximately 13-ft above ground level. Staff has discussed height in conjunction with the preliminary plat application. • Parking standards and specifications for off-site, on-street, and on-site parking, including any charging stations needed to serve proposed development, consistent with City parking standards under Section 13.01, Article 14, and by Street Type; #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 25 The applicant has proposed that all on site parking spaces will be EV-charger capable, but no charging will be provided. A portion of the required parking is proposed to be provided off-site on the adjacent hotel parcel. The applicant has requested a reduction in required parking below the one space per unit the City is permitted to require under state law. This is discussed in conjunction with concurrent preliminary plat application for Phase 1. • Setbacks, buffering, screening, or other mitigation measures necessary to separate incompatible land uses, particularly within designated transition areas; The applicant has not provided any specific buffering, screening or mitigation for Phase 1. The applicant has indicated they intend to provide vegetative screening between Phase 2 and Williston Road. Staff does not consider screening to be necessary for Phase 1 or 2. • Overall lighting plan, including typical fixtures, consistent with relevant lighting requirements under Section 13.07 and Appendix D; 35. The applicant has provided a lighting plan in conjunction with the concurrent preliminary plat application for Phase 1, but has not provided lighting fixtures or other standards. Staff recommends the Board require the applicant to provide typical lighting fixtures and standards potentially to include max illumination levels, pole heights, or general lighting objectives at this master plan stage of review for use throughout the master plan area. • Landscaping and screening specifications, consistent with relevant landscaping standards under Section 13.04; 36. The applicant has only prepared a landscaping plan for Phase 1 of the master plan. Staff recommends the Board ask the applicant to describe the design standards that they are committing to for the entire Master Plan. Staff considers this could include adherence to a pallet of plants or hardscape materials, particular spacing or planting location, or other sets of standards. • Specifications for the siting and design of new buildings, and the retrofit of existing buildings, as necessary to meet applicable energy standards under Section 3.18, and to incorporate renewable energy installations; and The applicant has not provided any specifications for the siting or design of the proposed new buildings that demonstrate how they will meet energy standards. They have stated that the proposed buildings will meet the requirements of the CBES. As a reminder, as per Article 3.19.B, all new commercial and multi-family buildings of at least four stories in height to which the CBES is applicable are now required to install rooftop solar or provide equivalent renewable energy generation elsewhere on site. The proposed renewable energy generation has been discussed elsewhere in this document. • Any additional architectural or design guidance for each type or phase of development, and for proposed transition areas, that is intended to integrate existing and new forms of development, and to ensure coordinated and cohesive phased development. The applicant has stated their belief that the new buildings will fit into the character of the existing hotel, but no design standards have been put forward. The Board may put forth design standards to ensure cohesive development if they consider it necessary, but Staff does not have any particular concerns. The applicant will be required to provide elevations as part of all subsequent applications for various phases of development, at which time the Board will review the proposed building designs against the transition and consistency standards of site plan review. (I) Phasing Plan. The application must include a narrative or table and map that clearly #MP-24-01 UVM Housing Staff Comments 26 identify, describe and depict each phase of development, including properties included, designated development areas by use type, major streets, supporting infrastructure and facility improvements, civic spaces, and other public amenities to be provided prior to or in association with each phase; and a schedule for the timing and sequence of development over the period covered by the Master Plan, consistent with the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program and Official Map. The applicant has provided a phasing plan and narrative description of phase timing. The applicant intends to construct Phase 1 as soon as permits are issued. No statement is made as to Phase 2, though the provided phasing plan indicates 2030. The master plan may only be approved for 6 years, with one possible future extension, allowing the applicant up to 10 years to complete this 6-year project. After the end of 6 years or the end of the extension period, this Master Plan will expire. Any and all subsequent development will be subject to rules in effect at the time of re-application. (1) An applicant for a Conservation PUD may elect to not provide a schedule, timing, and sequence of development for phases beyond the first phase by labelling them as Reserved. In rendering its decision in such an instance, the Board shall clearly indicate that an amendment to the Master Plan, enumerating the schedule, timing, and sequence of development shall be required in order for Reserved phases to proceed to the next stage of review. Not applicable. (2) Each proposed phase of development should account for at least 20 percent of the total project area or expected buildout in units/square feet; incorporate one or more distinct areas identified for coordinated development and management; and the infrastructure and facilities necessary to support that phase of development. Staff considers this criterion met. (3) Any temporary or interim structures or uses (e.g., buildings, parking, construction, or staging areas) intended for conversion or redevelopment in a subsequent phase should also be identified in the phasing plan. The applicant has shown areas for construction phasing for each phase. (J) Management Plan. A narrative description of the proposed management structure responsible for project development, to include all principals or entities with direct control over and responsibility for the financing, permitting, construction, and completion of development under the Master Plan; and, following project completion, for long-term ownership, management, operation, and maintenance of capital and community assets. The applicant has indicated that AAM 15 Management will provide construction and operational management through a management agreement with AAM Catamount Wood, LLC, which will include leasing, marketing, maintenance, and financial management.

Refer to Density Note #1 below for removal of Habitat Blocks and Very Steep Slopes from these calculations. Buildable Area = 87.6 ac - 28.3 ac - 1.2 ac - 0.4 ac = 57.7 ac Allowable Density = 12 units/acre Maximum Density = 57.7 x 12 = 692.4 units = 692 units allowed Density Calculation Notes: 1.Applicant believes review of this application is subject to limitations set forth in 24 V.S.A § 4413, titled “Limitations on municipal bylaws,” which limits regulation of qualified uses, including schools and educational institutions, to specified criteria and only to the extent the regulation does not have the effect of interfering with the intended functional uses. Habitat Blocks and Steep Slopes are not subject to regulation per 24 V.S.A § 4413. Other mapped natural resources apply per state environmental regulations. 2.The wetland analysis was performed as a desktop review by Arrowwood Environmental and is based on LiDAR contours, soils, VSWI advisory information, and available imagery. 3.Very steep slope areas are based on orthophoto based topographic mapping prepared by the SELLS Mapping Company for the University of Vermont. 4.The River Corridor limit is based on information extracted from the South Burlington City Map Viewer.

(existing) CATAMOUNT WOODS MASTER PLAN SUMMARY TABLE Master Plan 2024-2030 Catamount Woods Multf-Family Residences AAM Catamount Woods LLC A Joint Venture between AAM15 Management, LLC & the University of Vermont Submitted to the City of South Burlington, Vermont March 15, 2024 Table of Contents Catamount Woods Master Plan: Project Description. • Overall Vision and Scope of the Proposed Development; UVM and AAM15 are entering into a partnership to develop and manage Phase I of this Master Plan, a 184 unit, 5 story multffamily residentfal complex, with a mix of 1–4-bedroom, independent apartment units. This project will be located on land that is owned by UVM and has long been leased to the DoubleTree as a back parking lot to meet the parking needs for the conference center. This parcel is identffied in UVM’s 2022-2032 Campus Plan as a land bank, meaning it is an area that UVM has deemed appropriate for development. The project is a public/private partnership, and the primary use will be as housing for UVM upperclass undergraduate students. As has been documented elsewhere, there is a keen need for all types of housing in our community. UVM’s upperclass undergraduate students, many of whom live off campus, feel the pinch of the housing shortage, just as others in the community do. This project will give them another optfon for housing that is on the periphery of UVM’s campus, similar to the Redstone Lofts and Redstone Commons projects. We are very excited about this new housing optfon for our students and about the partnership between UVM and AAM15. Phase II of this Master Plan will consist of development of a second multffamily residence, to be located closer to Williston Road, near the existfng UVM Rugby Field, on the same parcel, within the City of South Burlington. This complex will also be designed as a multf-family residentfal structure, with the intent to house UVM students. This building will include a 5-story structure with approximately 91 units. Overall, this Master Plan will be a significant part of a regional effort to address a severe ongoing housing shortage in the Burlington/South Burlington metropolitan area that has impacted the University as well as many others in the community. (Maps: Master Plan for Catamount Woods and Rugby Housing) • Land Area and Propertfes to be Included under each Phase of Development; Land Area: Tax Parcel 1810-00870.L, 87.56 acres. Development of Phase I will be approximately 4.9 acres of this parcel. Phase II will be approximately 2.94 acres. Both areas are within the same parcel. See MP-1.0 Master Plan for more details. • Current Property Ownership and Contact Informatfon; 1.

Partnership: AAM Catamount Woods LLC; 78 Blanchard Road, Suite 100; Burlington, MA 01803; Phone (781) 222-4150. University of Vermont & AAM15 LLC are development partners; 49% and 51% respectfvely. • Current Zoning District Designatfons: The entfre parcel is zoned C1-R12 • Proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) type(s) under Artfcle 15.C: General PUD • Project consistency with applicable zoning and subdivision regulatfons: UVM believes review of this applicatfon is subject to limitatfons set forth in 24 V.S.A. § 4413, tftled “Limitatfons on municipal bylaws," which limits regulatfon of qualified uses, including schools and educatfonal instftutfons, to specified criteria and only to the extent the regulatfon does not have the effect of interfering with the intended functfonal uses. The City of South Burlington’s Land Development Regulatfons expressly acknowledge the City’s limited authority to regulate University lands with respect to Level I Resource designatfon in Artfcle 3.04(H)— Limitatfons on Authority. Please see letter from outside counsel Andrew MacIlwaine, Esq., for further explanatfon of the applicability of 24 V.S.A. § 4413 with respect to this project and specifically to student housing as the primary intended use. To give the DRB assurance about the future of this project, UVM and AAM 15 have come to agreement to include language in our Operatfng Agreement guaranteeing that the primary use will be student housing throughout the life of the project. The calculatfons which consider 24 § VSA 4413 are provided on plan sheet DP-1.0. The buildable area is 57.7 acres and with an allowable density of 12 units per acre in the C1-R12 district, there are 692 units allowed. • Requested Modificatfons & Waivers: 1. Parking Waiver: 50% requested. • A regular residentfal project would require 302 parking spaces for a project this size (Artfcle 13). • The University has invested in many TDM measures that will replace much (but not all) of the need for parking for residents. These measures include free CATS shuttle, free use of GMT buses, and subsidized use of car share and bike share. UVM is within easy walking distance. UVM has learning modules for students to encourage alternate transportatfon and parking fees for all UVM affiliates. Nearby there are bus and shuttle stops, bike paths, a future bike bridge is being planned, there is shopping across the street, and area-wide car and bike share programs. • Project will include enhanced pedestrian access to the site from main roads and campus. • We will provide 94 of the required parking adjacent to the building which will all be “EV Ready”. Six of the spaces will be accessible including two designated van spaces. The remaining 54 spaces will be leased to the AAM Catamount Woods, LLC from the adjacent parking garage. We will provide the appropriate percentage of accessible spaces for this additfonal parking locatfon. • It is the intentfon of UVM to include “Catamount Woods” as a stop on the CATS shuttle bus route. 2. Front yard setback: A waiver is requested to have the residentfal building match the 0- 12’ front yard setback requirement for the adjacent garage, which is in the FBC district. 3. Side yard setback waiver of 4 feet is requested for one small pinch point. See SP 1.0 Subdivision Plan. Procedural Waiver Requests: 1. Up to 500 SF for administratfve review (instead of 40 SF). 2. Administratfve review for percentage of glazing dimension and precise locatfon of windows changes of up to 8% – street facing and non-street facing. 3. Administratfve review for changes up to 10% of apartment unit numbers. 4. Administratfve review for stormwater changes that do not affect the project. 5. Administratfve review for light pole locatfon adjustments, with no change to # of poles. 6. Administratfve review for plant substftutfons that do not affect project. 7. Administratfve review for exterior materials changes by up to 15%. 8. Up to 10% ability to switch landscape funds between UVM and the hotel project. Requested Easements: ROW; shared use path; trash, parking, utflitfes, sewer, stormwater, bike parking. Refer to SP 1.0 Subdivision Plan. Context Report A map and accompanying narratfve that describe the area proposed for subdivision, development, or redevelopment, in relatfon to the existfng and planned pattern and type of development in surrounding neighborhood, and to existfng and planned City facilitfes, services, and infrastructure in the vicinity of the project, to include: • Existfng parcels, and existfng and planned streets and blocks, recreatfon paths, transit routes, buildings, land uses, parks, civic spaces, and other open spaces and community facilitfes located within ¼ -mile of project boundaries. See plan sheet SP-1.0 Subdivision/Lease Line Map. Phase I is located at the back of the Doubletree Hotel, which is located at 870 Williston Road, on land owned by UVM. Currently the site is a parking lot used for conference parking for the hotel’s conference center. UVM and AAM15 have agreed to collaborate on constructfon and management of residentfal housing intended primarily for upper-class undergraduate students at UVM. To make up for the lost parking, the hotel will construct a structured parking garage. At the same tfme, an old hotel wing will be demolished to make space for structured parking, and a new hotel additfon will be constructed closer to Williston Road. The residentfal building will be an accessible 5 story structure with 184 apartments, 1-4 bedrooms, with common areas for laundry, lounges, mail pick up etc. There will be entrances on the east and west sides of the building. The parking lot will accommodate short-term bike parking, 94 cars and will include EV ready charging statfons and accessible parking spaces. Short-term bike parking is available at both entrances, with long-term bike parking available in the adjacent parking structure. Proposed street, recreatfon path, transit, infrastructure, and open space connectfons between existfng, planned, and proposed development. This project is located adjacent to Williston Road, Catamount Drive and East Avenue. The existfng private driveway from Williston Road that leads to the hotel parking lot and connects with Catamount Drive will be upgraded to a modified Bicycle Boulevard Urban Collector, with a ROW easement dedicated to the City of South Burlington. This will serve as the main access to the Phase I residentfal building. There will be a multf-use path along the modified Bicycle Boulevard Urban Collector. This will be classified as a Greenway, a civic space as identffied in Artfcle 11B. There will be a 50’ ROW easement for the Greenway dedicated to the City of South Burlington, partfally within the road ROW. The existfng driveway that leads to the conference center at the back of the hotel will be upgraded to a shared driveway between the hotel and the residentfal building that leads to both the hotel conference center and the residentfal parking and easterly building entrance. See CA 101 Site Grading Plan. Transit buses will serve the new building at the easterly entrance and turn around in the residentfal parking lot. Cars will be able to drop off passengers at the hotel conference center and turn around at the small roundabout to access the hotel parking garage. Other service vehicles will be able to contfnue along the shared driveway and turn right onto the hotel service driveway to exit the complex back onto Williston Road. Emergency vehicles will be able to drive along this shared driveway and then turn left/north onto the fire lane that leads to the back of the residences, past the two courtyards, in a westerly directfon back toward the neighborhood Street/Rural collector. Access to the fire lane will be for permitted emergency vehicle use only; the fire lane will be primarily a pedestrian/bicycle amenity for the residents. The shared driveway will also connect (right turn) to the south with the back (easterly) hotel driveway. There will be two large courtyards opening to the fire lane and to Centennial Woods beyond. A planned wetland overlook, accessible from the fire lane, will provide visual access to Centennial Woods and Natural Area. Pedestrian access to Centennial Woods is nearby off Catamount Drive. • A more detailed Development Context Analysis as required for an Infill or Redevelopment (IRD) PUD under Artfcle 15.C, as applicable; and • A descriptfon of how concerns raised in the Neighborhood Meetfng will be addressed. We will hold a Neighborhood Meetfng on March 25, at the Doubletree Hotel. We will invite neighbors from East Terrace (South Burlington) as well as from East Avenue (Burlington), UVM Medical Center, and the businesses across Williston Road (gas statfons and Staples Plaza). As required, this meetfng is planned to take place after we submit Preliminary and Master Plans, and before the DRB meetfng in April/May. We will have enough tfme to incorporate neighbor concerns into the plans for the DRB meetfng. Previously, we have consulted with many stakeholder groups including the Disabled Students Union, the Student Government Associatfon and other student groups. We are antfcipatfng transportatfon impacts by working on a CATS transit connectfon as well as extending the shared use path system. We are committed to addressing the issues that may impact neighbors. Existing Conditions Report A Site Conditfons Map for the entfre tract and accompanying narratfve, that depict and describe existfng: • Topographic conditfons, including elevatfon contours, surface waters, wetlands, and other natural features; • Natural under Artfcle 12, or as otherwise regulated by the City; • Existfng streets, blocks, and utflity corridors, including existfng rights-of-way; and • Existfng land uses and structures, including any historic sites or structures listed or eligible for listfng on the Vermont State Register of Historic Places. See plan sheets DP-1.0 for existfng conditfons of the entfre parcel and CA200 for a more detailed view of the project site. The existfng site is a parking lot, gently sloping downward in a northeasterly directfon. To the north is Centennial Woods, including a wetland and wetland buffer. There is a steep drop off immediately past the existfng parking lot edge on the north side of the site, down to the wetland. Natural resources abound in the Centennial Woods and natural area: a habitat block, a river corridor, steep slopes and wetlands can be found in the large parcel, including a conserved Natural Area within the citfes of both Burlington and South Burlington. Catamount Drive is the only existfng street in this area, and that is privately owned by the University. The site itself is accessible from a private driveway, which will be upgraded to a street and dedicated to the City of South Burlington. The area is served by GMP, VGS & South Burlington Water Department. The surrounding area consists of large buildings (e.g. hotel, UVM buildings) and parking lots in the context of a campus, with green spaces, courtyards, bike paths and more. The new residence will fit into this context. There are no historic sites or structures within the immediate vicinity of the new residence and hotel development. Development Plan One or more maps and an accompanying narratfve that depict and describe the overall pattern, type, and density of development proposed for the entfre project, and for each phase of development, to include: The overall pattern of development is a 5-story multf-family apartment building within the urban fabric of the citfes of Burlington and South Burlington, near the edge of the UVM campus. The pattern of development is similar to the surrounding campus and hotel, with large multf- unit buildings set near parking lots and within a green campus with excellent pedestrian and bicycle circulatfon and access to public transit. This will be a relatfvely dense development, appropriate and similar to other buildings in the area. Phase II will be similar in scope and style, with a 5 story multf-family apartment building nearby, within the same overall urban context. • Natural resource areas identffied for protectfon, consistent with adopted Environmental Protectfon Standards under Artfcle 12; • Any designated Conservatfon Area or other open space areas, Centennial Woods Natural Area is located nearby within the larger Centennial Woods area, within the citfes of Burlington and South Burlington, and is already conserved with the Vermont Land Trust. It is one of the University of Vermont's ten natural areas, and is managed by the UVM Environmental Program. Development rights have been transferred to the Vermont Land Trust. Centennial Woods Natural Area contains about 70 acres of mature conifer stands, mixed hardwoods, fields, streams, and wetland areas. Adjacent to the UVM campus, it serves as an excellent natural laboratory to study the region’s plants, animals, and natural processes, as well as cultural history. A well-developed trail system wanders through Centennial Woods, offering visitors samples of the natural communities and landscape features thriving here. Students in environmental studies, botany, zoology, forestry, recreation management, and education use it extensively for academic study. The larger area, Centennial Woods, which encompasses and includes the Natural Area, is about 115 acres within Burlington RCO and the South Burlington IA-North zoning district. • Any land area to be set aside for renewable energy productfon. We have found, after testfng, that this area is appropriate for geothermal heatfng. This will be a compact land use. • The proposed street and block grid within and connectfng each phase of development, including the locatfon of major streets by Street Type, and any existfng rights-of-way, easements or intersectfons identffied for relocatfon. This area does not have an existfng street and block grid. Phase I will connect to the existfng driveway which will be upgraded to be a modified Bicycle Boulevard – Collector Urban. Phase II will connect to the same upgraded street. This street will have a ROW easement to the city. There will be pedestrian/bicycle connectfons from the new street to Williston Road in the south, and to Catamount Drive to the north. • Proposed recreatfon paths, transit routes, infrastructure, and utflity corridors between and serving each phase of development. See Plan sheet MP-1.0 for the overall project layout will all phases shown and MP-1.1 for the development phasing. There will be a shared use path and sidewalks on the Bicycle Boulevard – Collector Urban. Existfng public transit and a transit stop is available at the south end of the street, at Williston Road. A UVM Cats shuttle bus will connect the UVM campus with Phase I and II residences. Phase II may be accessible from the Burlington side of the parcel, as well as from South Burlington. GMT buses run on Williston Road. See CA 100 Materials Plan. See CA102 Utflity Plan for infrastructure and utflitfes. Infrastructure and utflitfes will connect to the existfng services on the DoubleTree site. The sewer will be collected and pumped to the existfng gravity sewer system near the main entrance to the hotel. A new waterline will be extended around the north side of the DoubleTree Conference center and provide the domestfc and fire protectfon services for the building. The primary electric service will be extended north along the alignment of the new recreatfon path then around the south side of Catamount Woods building to a new transformer that will be placed between the parking garage and the conference center. • One or more designated Development Areas, to include land use allocatfon areas by proposed use type(s), at minimum to include any designated residentfal areas, nonresidentfal areas, mixed use areas, civic space areas, and the locatfon of principal or shared parking areas serving the development. This is a residentfal development. Parking will be available on site either within the site or in the adjacent structured parking garage. The two courtyards are amenity spaces for residents. The fire lane, while planned for emergency use when needed, will functfon most of the tfme as a pedestrian corridor connectfng the courtyards for use by all residents. The gate structures protectfng the fire line will provide adequate space for accessible needs, bike, and pedestrian traffic. The residents will have both visual and pedestrian access to Centennial Woods. • Any proposed transitfon areas along the project perimeter, in which proposed development will either be integrated with or buffered from adjoining propertfes and development; This area is buffered from the closest residentfal community (in Burlington – East Avenue) by Centennial Woods. The closest neighbor is the Doubletree Hotel. The area where residents will likely spend tfme outdoors will be the courtyards, which face Centennial Woods and not the hotel. • Existfng buildings to be incorporated in proposed development or redevelopment; and No existfng buildings will be incorporated into the proposed development. The nearby future garage will include bike parking for Phase I and vehicle parking as needed. • Public and private transportatfon, infrastructure, and utflity improvements necessary to accommodate each phase of development, and the entfre project at buildout, to include any land, facilitfes, or improvements proposed for public dedicatfon, consistent with the City’s adopted Official Map. Existfng public transportatfon includes GMT buses on Williston Road, a major road connectfng Burlington and South Burlington. The private, UVM-owned CATS shuttle system will connect residents of Phases I and II with the UVM campus. The current Doubletree Hotel driveway will be upgraded and will have an easement for the City of South Burlington. The new multf-use path will also improve the connectfon from the University campus to the City of South Burlington’s I89 pedestrian bridge improvement project. Significant utflity investments will also be made to extend the water, sewer and electric infrastructure from the DoubleTree property to support the project. Summary Statistics The following project statfstfcs or metrics, presented in an easy to reference tabular format, must be provided for the entfre tract or project area, and for each phase of development, unless waived by the DRB as not relevant or applicable to a partfcular project: • Total tract or parcel area, and the area associated with each phase of development, in acres and square feet; for protectfon under Artfcle 12, and by resource type (Hazard, Level I, Level II); and the area, in acres, of any designated Conservatfon Area(s) or lots, as shown on the Master Plan; Hazards, Conserved?

This development will not include a block system or street grid. • Total Buildable Area, in acres and square feet, as allocated by land use or building type, within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan, to exclude existfng and planned street rights-of-way, but to include existfng and proposed civic space lots and parking lots. Type of Development Phase I Phase II Total buildable area Building 52,115 SF 36,800 SF Civic space 271,870 SF Amenity Space 23,875 SF 13,470 SF Parking lot 34,900 SF 12,300 SF under building • Number of proposed dwelling units by housing or building type within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan Dwelling Units Phase I Phase II 1 Bedroom 4 Not available yet 2 Bedroom 31 Not available yet 3 Bedroom 121 Not available yet 4 Bedroom 28 Not available yet TOTAL: 184 91 • Total gross floor area by use or building type for nonresidentfal and mixed-use development within each designated Development Area and block shown on the Master Plan; This is a residentfal development. There will be community space in the buildings for residentfal amenitfes, but this will not be open to the public. • Other statfstfcs or data required by the DRB as necessary to determine conformance with relevant standards under these Regulatfons. Buildout Analysis and Budget Based on the statfstfcs provided under (F) above, the applicant must also provide an analysis for each of the following based on total forecasted demand at buildout, and as allocated for each phase of development, for use in determining the project’s total “Buildout Budget”: • Minimum and maximum acreage allocatfons by land use or building type, as percentages of the Buildable Area within designated Development Areas; Buildable area = 57.7 acres as per 24 V.S.A. § 4413 Land Use/Building Type Maximum acreage Phase I Minimum acreage Phase I Maximum acreage Phase II Minimum acreage Phase II Building footprint 1.40 acre 1.1 acre 1.25 acre 0.75 acre Civic Space 6.25 acre 5.77 acre 0 acre 0 acre Roads 0.20 acre 0.23 acre 0 acre 0 acre Parking 1.0 acre 0.7 acre 1.0 acre 0.7 acre Greenway 0.40 acre (included in civic space) 0.30 acre (included in civic space) • Gross and net (or effectfve) development densitfes by land use or building type; The lot density calculatfons shown on plan DP-1.0 indicates that a maximum of 692 units are allowed on the parcel. 184 units are proposed in phase 1 and 91 additfonal units are proposed for phase 2 for a total of 275 units. The density after phase 1 would be 26.6% and 39.7% after full build-out of both phases. There is no existfng development on the parcel so the Gross and Net Density will be the same. Land Use Gross dvpmt density Net dvpmt density Residentfal Phase I 26.6% 26.6% Residentfal Phase II 39.7% 39.7% • Minimum number or percentage of affordable housing units required within residentfal and mixeduse development areas, as applicable pursuant to Artfcle 18; This development is planned for upperclass undergraduate students at the University of Vermont. As such, as per Artfcle 18.01.B (3) Exemptfons, item (a) “Projects that are developed by an educatfonal instftutfon for the exclusive residentfal use and occupancy of its students” is exempt from the affordable housing unit requirement. The University of Vermont has a financial aid program that awards financial aid for students that need this. The financial aid program takes housing costs into account when allocatfng financial aid. If a portfon of the housing reverts to a market rate model, open to the public at large, then 15% of the market rate units will be set aside for affordable housing. The large majority of units will be 3-bedroom units. Affordable units will reflect this mix. • Minimum percentage, and area in square feet, of required civic space(s) within designated Development Areas; Percentage SF Courtyards 1.5% 37,345 SF Greenway 0.6% 15,870 SF Shared Use paths Other Civic Space 10.2% 256,000 SF • Maximum peak hour trip generatfon rates, by use type; The project is expected to generate 106 external primary vehicle trips in the PM peak hour, and 53 external primary vehicle trips in the AM peak hour. • Maximum water supply and wastewater system demand, by use type; The project will require a Water Supply General Constructfon Permit which calculates the water demand based on the Water Supply Rules. The maximum water supply is calculated to be 75,735 GPD. The wastewater system design flows are based on the Wastewater System and Potable Water Supply Rules which are simply based on unit counts. For 184 units (@ 210 GPD per unit) the maximum wastewater system demand is 38,640 GPD • Maximum total impervious surface (percentage, total square footage), and volume of stormwater runoff per designated Development Area; and The project includes 141,950 SF (3.26 acres) of impervious within the development area. The development area includes the lands developed and redeveloped on the UVM property plus the portfon of parking lot and trash enclosure area at the southeast corner of the site that is located on the hotel property but used exclusively by the project. The total development area is 213,215 SF (4.90 acres) as shown on plan sheet MP-1.0. The volume of runoff varies depending on the storm event, but we have designed a Tier 2 Gravel Wetland to treat the runoff from the project. The stormwater permit applicatfon has been submitted to the state and the applicatfon material, along with the HydroCAD file, has been submitted to the Water Resources Deputy Director and Stormwater Superintendent for review. • Other measures or parameters required by the DRB as necessary to identffy and limit the forecasted impacts of development on municipal facilitfes, infrastructure and services, and propertfes and uses within the vicinity of the project. The UVM CATS shuttle bus will service Catamount Woods. In additfon, the University has an existfng suite of Transportatfon Demand management facilitfes and programs to reduce single occupancy vehicle use. Design Standards The applicatfon must include proposed standards, specificatfons, illustratfons, best management practfces, or other forms of guidance for the following, consistent with City regulatfons in effect at the tfme of Master Plan approval, as applicable to all subsequent development under the Master Plan: • Protectfons for natural resources defined and regulated under Artfcle 12, consistent with the standards and accepted mitfgatfon measures of Artfcle 12. We will comply with all federal, state and local standards and requirements. Development is planned for an existfng parking lot (Phase I) and existfng rugby field (Phase II), where there are no natural resources that need protectfons. The wetlands, located immediately to the north of Phase I, will be blocked off so that vehicles cannot access this area. There will be a viewing platiorm for residents to view the area. The pedestrian access to Centennial Woods and Natural Area is located nearby, where there are clear pedestrian paths that protect the natural resources in the area. No natural areas, hazards or resources will be disturbed as a result of this development. • The mix or allocatfon of land uses, as specified for each phase of development; • Typical street cross-sectfons by Street Type, as referenced under Artfcle 11.A; This is a residentfal development on previously, minimally developed areas. See previous sectfons for the allocatfon of land uses. For typical street cross sectfons by street type, see CA 104 Roadway Sectfon Plan. • Typical Civic Space and other proposed open space types, as referenced under Artfcle 11.B; We intend to use the civic spaces created along Willston Road along with the greenway along the main drive. The remainder of the required civic space would be designated in Centennial Woods which is allowed under the “Green” Category of civic Space in Artfcle 11B chart. See LC-001 Landscape Plan for more details. • Typical block and building lot dimensions and configuratfons, consistent with applicable subdivision and zoning district regulatfons, or PUD type, and for designated transitfon areas as necessary to complement or match the adjoining pattern of development; This development will not include a block system or street grid. There will be a large residentfal building in each phase, set within a landscaped area with parking. This is the form of existfng development in the vicinity. • Typical building types, as applicable and referenced under Artfcle 11.C, including proposed housing types, and building elevatfons; See Plans A-100 and A-101 for apartment types. See Plans A-201, A202 and A-203 for proposed building elevatfons. • Building height and setback standards as applicable by zoning district, PUD or building type; and for designated transitfon areas, as necessary to complement or match the adjoining pattern and form of development; Building height will be 5 stories, 62’ above ground level; the top of all rooftop equipment will be below 75’ above ground level. See setbacks and setback waiver requests on SP-1.0 Subdivision Plan. • Parking standards and specificatfons for off-site, on-street, and on-site parking, including any charging statfons needed to serve proposed development, consistent with City parking standards under Sectfon 13.01, Artfcle 14, and by Street Type; We are requestfng a 50% waiver for the required parking, so instead of 302 parking spaces, we will provide 151 parking spaces. There will be 94 parking spaces on site. All spaces on site will be EV-charger capable. No parking spaces will be fitted with EV chargers. This complies with Table C405.13.1 in the new 2024 CBES standards. The remaining required parking spaces will be allocated spaces in the hotel garage. • Setbacks, buffering, screening, or other mitfgatfon measures necessary to separate incompatfble land uses, partfcularly within designated transitfon areas; See MP-1.0 UVM Master Plan. There are no nearby uses that need screening by the development for Phase I. There will be adequate vegetatfve and other screening in Phase II between Williston Road and the phase II residentfal development. The courtyards for resident use will be separated from the hotel use by the driveway and the building mass of the residence itself. • Overall lightfng plan, including typical fixtures, consistent with relevant lightfng requirements under Sectfon 13.07 and Appendix D; See LC-003 Landscape Lightfng Plan and schedule. • Landscaping and screening specificatfons, consistent with relevant landscaping standards under Sectfon 13.04; See LC-001 Landscape Plan and LC-002 Landscape Details. • Specificatfons for the sitfng and design of new buildings, and the retrofit of existfng buildings, as necessary to meet applicable energy standards under Sectfon 3.18, and to incorporate renewable energy installatfons; and There are no existfng buildings as part of this project. All new buildings and site and design specs will conform to the new 2024 CBES standards. • Any additfonal architectural or design guidance for each type or phase of development, and for proposed transitfon areas, that is intended to integrate existfng and new forms of development, and to ensure coordinated and cohesive phased development. This development is separated from other land uses in the area by distance and vegetatfon. The new building will fit into the environment of the existfng and new wings of the hotel. See MP 1.0 UVM Master Plan. Phasing Plan The applicatfon must include a narratfve or table and map that clearly identffy, describe and depict each phase of development, including propertfes included, designated development areas by use type, major streets, supportfng infrastructure and facility improvements, civic spaces, and other public amenitfes to be provided prior to or in associatfon with each phase; and a schedule for the tfming and sequence of development over the period covered by the Master Plan, consistent with the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program and Official Map. This project will be built with the hotel demolitfon, new wing and parking garage constructfon. The current phasing and constructfon schedule is as follows: 1. Constructfon of the new hotel, startfng as soon as permits are issued, to be complete by December 2025. 2. Demolitfon of old hotel wing and constructfon of parking garage, to be complete by February 2026. 3. Constructfon of Catamount Woods as soon as permits are issued, to be complete by July 2026, including courtyards, all roads, shared use paths, amenitfes and viewing platiorms to Centennial Woods. (1) An applicant for a Conservatfon PUD may elect to not provide a schedule, tfming, and sequence of development for phases beyond the first phase by labelling them as Reserved. In rendering its decision in such an instance, the Board shall clearly indicate that an amendment to the Master Plan, enumeratfng the schedule, tfming, and sequence of development shall be required in order for Reserved phases to proceed to the next stage of review. (2) Each proposed phase of development should account for at least 20 percent of the total project area or expected buildout in units/square feet; incorporate one or more distfnct areas identffied for coordinated development and management; and the infrastructure and facilitfes necessary to support that phase of development. Phase I of development will constftute 50% -- 70% of Phases I and II together. (a) In the instance of a Conservatfon Planned Unit Development, the first phase of a multf- phased project is not required to include any minimum amount of the total project area or buildout but must ensure that infrastructure and facilitfes necessary to support future phases are incorporated. (3) Any temporary or interim structures or uses (e.g., buildings, parking, constructfon, or staging areas) intended for conversion or redevelopment in a subsequent phase should also be identffied in the phasing plan. Staging area has been identffied in CA300 – CA304. Management Plan A narratfve descriptfon of the proposed management structure responsible for project development, to include all principals or entftfes with direct control over and responsibility for the financing, permitting, constructfon, and completfon of development under the Master Plan; and, following project completfon, for long-term ownership, management, operatfon, and maintenance of capital and community assets. The management plan must also clearly identffy any streets, infrastructure, facilitfes, civic or other open spaces proposed for public dedicatfon under each phase of development, consistent with the City’s adopted Official Map and Capital Improvement Plan, for consideratfon under subsequent DRB reviews and conditfons of approval or under development agreements to be approved by the City Council. AAM 15 Management will provide constructfon and operatfonal management. Throughout the constructfon period, AAM will be providing constructfon oversight including direct management of the general contractor, FFE procurement and installatfon. Post-constructfon, AAM 15 Management will manage Catamount Woods in a similar method to the other apartments, including student housing, it manages. This will be done under a management agreement with AAM Catamount Woods, LLC which will include leasing, marketfng, maintenance, and financial management. 1 Wm. Andrew MacIlwaine, Esq. amacilwaine@dinse.com March 15, 2024 South Burlington Development Review Board 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Sketch Plan and Preliminary Master Plan Application (#SD-24-01) for Catamount Woods Dear Board Members: Dinse P.C. represents the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College in connection with the above-referenced project for Catamount Woods (“the Project”). We have reviewed the January 24, 2024 Staff Comments regarding the University’s Application and write specifically in response to Staff Comment No. 7 (p. 5) regarding the calculation of buildable area for the project. Prior to the City’s adoption of its current Land Development Regulations (“LDR”), the University engaged in extensive discussions with the City which resulted in the inclusion of language in Article 3.04(H) acknowledging limits on the City’s authority to regulate University lands under 24 V.S.A. § 4413 (“Limitations on municipal bylaws”). As explained below, contrary to Staff Comment No. 7, lands owned by the University that include recent Level I and II Resource designations, i.e., habitat block and river corridor designations, do not preclude the University from including those lands in calculating buildable area for the Project. Section 4413(a) expresses the Legislature’s intent to protect from regulation certain enumerated land uses, including “[p]ublic . . . schools” and “other educational institutions certified by the Agency of Education.” 24 V.S.A. § 4413(a)(1)(A)-(B); see also Goddard College Conditional Use Goddard College Act 250 Reconsideration, No. 173-12-12 VTEC, 2014 WL 814790, at *5 (Vt. Sup. Ct., Jan. 06, 2014) (Walsh, J.) (acknowledging application of § 4413 to proposed development at Goddard College). As a public school and approved educational institution, the University is a qualifying use under § 4413. See In re Goddard College Conditional Use, No. 1751211, 2013 WL 5677442, at * 2 (Vt. Envtl. Div. Sept. 19, 2013) (Walsh, J.) (defining “use” broadly). DINSE P.C. South Burlington Development Review Board March 15, 2024 Page 2 Section 4413(a) limits municipal regulation of University lands in two important ways. First, the statute makes clear that lands “may be regulated only with respect to location, size, height, building bulk, yards, courts, setbacks, density of buildings, off-street parking, loading facilities, traffic noise, lighting, landscaping, and screening requirements . . . .” 24 V.S.A. § 4413(a)(1) (emphasis added). Second, the statute permits regulation “only to the extent that regulations do not have the effect of interfering with the intended functional use.” Id. (emphasis added). Vermont courts have strictly construed the scope of municipal authority to regulate qualified uses under § 4413(a). See Town of Grand Isle v. State, No. 84-8-18 VTEC, 2018 WL 6813855, at *4 (Vt. Sup. Ct., Dec. 20, 2018) (Walsh, J.); Morse v. Vt. Div. of State Bdgs., 136 Vt. 253, 256, 388 A.2d 371, 373 (1978) (“It would seem significant that the title of this statute is ‘Limitations’, clearly indicating its purpose to measure the reach of municipal authority.”). Section 4413(a)’s limitation also extends to municipal regulation of “component uses.” In re Goddard College Conditional Use, No. 1751211, 2013 WL 5677442, at *1 (Vt. Super. Ct, Sep. 19, 2013) (Walsh, J.). For example, in Goddard, the court considered whether the college’s proposed construction of a 2,500 square foot building to house a woodchip heating system was subject to the Plainfield Zoning Regulations. Id. In rejecting the Town’s argument that the woodchip heating building was not a “school” or “educational institution,” the court held that “[n]othing in the language of § 4413 indicates that some components of an educational institution, such as classroom buildings, receive the benefit of this limited review, while other components, such as electrical or heating facilities, do not.” Id. at *2. “[T]he development of Goddard’s heating system is part of its overall ‘use’ as a school or educational institution under § 4413(a)(2).” Id. Here, although the Project will not add new classroom space, it will predominantly be used as on-campus housing for University students. The housing of University students clearly serves an educational purpose. Put differently, if the University’s physical plant would be considered a component of the University’s overall use as an educational institution, see id., student housing is undoubtedly an educational use subject to the protections in § 4413, see also Burr & Burton Seminary v. Town of Manchester, 172 Vt. 433, 439, 782 A.2d 1149, 1154 (2001) (student dormitory constitutes educational use). Courts in other jurisdictions have taken a comparable approach to this issue. For example, like § 4413, Massachusetts’ so-called Dover Amendment limits municipal authority to regulate “land or structures” used for, among other things, educational purposes. Mass. Gen. Law Ann. Ch. 40A, § 3. To qualify under that statute, an “educationally significant goal must be the primary or dominant purpose for which the land or structures will be used.” McLean Hosp. Corp. v. Town of DINSE P.C. South Burlington Development Review Board March 15, 2024 Page 3 Lincoln, 131 N.E.3d 240, 246–47 (Mass. 2019) (emphasis added). While an educational use that is only incidental to the main use is likely insufficient, a secondary use that is not purely educational also will not disqualify land or structures from protection from municipal regulation. The Massachusetts test is virtually identical to the test Vermont courts use when determining the taxability of lands owned by colleges and universities under the public schools exemption in 32 V.S.A. § 3802(4). See Vermont Coll. of Fine Arts v. City of Montpelier, 2017 VT 12, ¶¶ 19, 23, 204 Vt. 215,165 A.3d 1065. “[I]t is the primary function,” and “not some secondary” one, “that determines [a] property’s taxable status.” Id. ¶ 23. Thus, school land cannot be put to any use and still be considered educational simply by virtue of the school’s ownership. See Burr & Burton, 172 Vt. at 439, 782 A.2d at 1154. It is the primary use of the land that matters. By analogy, here, as long as the Project is primarily occupied or used by University students, its use will be considered educational. Regarding the City’s authority to regulate the Project, the City cannot use Habitat Block or river corridor designation of University lands to reduce buildable area. The LDR expressly acknowledge the City’s limited authority to regulate University lands with respect to Level I Resource designation. Article 3.04(H)— titled “Limitations on Authority”—states: These regulations apply to all proposed land development, except as limited by the provisions of 24 V.S.A. § 4413. For example, Habitat Block and Habitat Connector designations are subject to the limitations in 24 V.S.A § 4413(a) for uses enumerated therein and proposed by entities such as the State of Vermont, the City of South Burlington, the Champlain Water District, or the University of Vermont. This subsection is intended to provide notice of existing limitations on these regulations and is not intended to impose any limitations beyond those already imposed by 24 V.S.A. § 4413. This language is repeated on the Habitat Block and Habitat Connector Overlay District map. With respect to Habitat Block designation, it is not a prescribed category of permissible regulation under § 4413(a)(1). Thus, the City cannot use Habitat Block designation as a predicate to further restrict buildable area on University lands. As to river corridor designation, § 4413(a)(2) makes clear that the City’s authority is limited to “regulating development . . . in a river corridor.” However, the Project will not be constructed in the river corridor. The City’s attempt to use river corridor designation to restrict the University’s buildable area also violates § 4413. See DINSE P.C. South Burlington Development Review Board March 15, 2024 Page 4 Morse, 136 Vt. at 256, 388 A.2d at 373 (scope of municipal authority to regulate qualified uses strictly construed). Moreover, § 4413(a) expressly bars the City from regulating the Project where it will have “the effect of interfering with the intended functional use.” Id. (a)(1) and (2) (prohibiting municipal regulation of statutory list and development in river corridor where such regulation would “have the effect of interfering with the intended functional use”). This is a “further limitation” on municipal regulatory authority. In re Wildlife, No. 30-2-04VTEC, 2005 WL 6109328 at *6 (Vt. Super. Ct., Jan. 31, 2005) (Wright, J.); accord Appeals of Valsangiacomo, et al., No. 130-8- 03VTEC64-4-04V, 2004 WL 5232367 (Vt. Super. Ct., Dec. 21, 2004) (Wright, J.). Here, the purported limitation on buildable area due to Habitat Block and river corridor designation would materially interfere with the University’s ability to house students consistent with its Campus Master Plan and educational mission. The University shares in the City’s desire to promote smart growth and to protect important environmental and ecological resources. However, the Project already carefully balances those critical goals with the University’s development needs. Requiring that the University pursue an alternative permit, such as a conservation PUD, to meet buildable area requirements for the proposed 275-unit project is unacceptable as it would result in the University waiving lawful development rights in violation of § 4413. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of the above issues. Relatedly, I would also point out that Article 3.04(H) of the LDR states, in pertinent part, that the § 4413 “language is repeated on the Habitat Block and Habitat Connector Overlay District map.” This was a material term of agreement reached between the City and the University prior to the adoption of the LDR. However, in reviewing the map available online through City’s website, I did not see any reference to the language in Article 3.04(H) or § 4413. Accordingly, please update the map to include the language of Article 3.04(H). Sincerely, Wm. Andrew MacIlwaine DINSE P.C.
