Home My WebLink AboutMinutes - Planning Commission - 02/26/2019 SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 26 FEBRUARY 2019 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, 26 February 2019, at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. MEMBERS PRESENT: J. Louisos, Chair (by phone for first part of meeting; B. Gagnon, Acting Chair; T. Riehle, M. Ostby, M. Mittag ALSO PRESENT: P. Conner, Director of Planning and Zoning; S. Dopp 1. Directions on emergency evacuation procedures from conference room: Mr. Gagnon provided directions on emergency evacuation procedures. 2. Agenda: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items: The review of Minutes was deleted from the agenda. 3. Open to the public for items not related to the Agenda: No issues were raised. 4. Planning Commissioner announcements and staff report: Mr. Conner directed attention to his written report which included information on Bike/scooter share program, PUD/Master Plan/Subdivision working project schedule, DRB amendment requests, Legislative changes, and a joint meeting of IZ Committees. 5. Report from Interim Zoning Committee Liaisons: a. Open Space IZ Committee: Mr. Gagnon reported that the Open Space IZ Committee is developing criteria to evaluate open spaces. People were tasked with looking at a matrix from the Natural Resources Committee and Recreation Department and to rate their “top 10.” Members reviewed criteria they felt were important and felt that some criteria could be combined. A subcommittee has been formed to try to consolidate everyone’s “top 10” into fewer criteria. In addition, staff provided maps of parcels of over 4 acres that are open and parcels that are already conserved. The Committee will next test criteria against open spaces to see if what they have makes sense. They will then seek public input. Members also talked about a second “bucket” of property that might be good for a dog park or for athletic fields. Mr. Conner showed the “Natural Resources Inventory Map” being used by the Committee. Mr. Riehle questioned the possibility of “reforesting” certain areas and specifically cited an area in front of Butler Farms. Mr. Conner noted some regeneration is already taking place (e.g. Wheeler Nature Park). Ms. Dopp noted that reforesting could provide more visual buffer for some neighborhoods. (Ms. Louisos arrived in person at this point in the meeting) 6. Provide feedback to City Council on IZ 19-01, 1420 Hinesburg Road: Mr. Conner reviewed the proposed subdivision and noted that the City Council took testimony and did not see any major obstacles. The did, however, want to check with the Planning Commission to see whether this would be counter to what the Commission is discussion regarding PUDs. Mr. Conner showed the parcel on the map and indicated the proposed 3 building lots for single family homes. The new lots would front on Highland Terrace. Members were concerned that this development could lead to others in the area wanting to do the same thing, and the 3 houses could then become 20. Mr. Riehle suggested delaying this and building it into the PUD plans. He said he was not averse to infill but felt it could defeat the purpose of the PUDs. Mr. Conner noted that the properties to the north and south are also individually owned. Mr. Gagnon questioned whether they can regulate down to a small lot. Ms. Ostby said this could function as a “cottage cluster” with 12 units per acre, which would then be a benefit to the applicant. She said that unless there is some urgency, it could be in the city’s and the applicant’s interest to delay approval. Other members agreed. Mr. Conner suggested having someone draft a written report to the Council. Ms. Louisos said she can do that if the Council wants something in writing. 7. Review draft elements of Subdivision/PUD/Master Plan Project: a. City-wide parking standards draft, follow-up from 19 February: Mr. Conner directed attention to his written follow-up. Mr. Gagnon noted the parking lot at the former Trinity College is pervious concrete and has been there for a number of years. There are maintenance requirements, but it is a good way to treat stormwater. Ms. Ostby said there is a chance the TDR Committee will recommend always having a pervious surface, but in the case of a hardship to provide a “way out.” She felt they have to look at what is best for the environment and then consider an alternative when there is a hardship. Ms. Louisos said any pervious surface depends on maintenance, and she wasn’t sure any one option is better than another. Mr. Mittag said that in some places pervious concrete is a requirement. Mr. Conner said he met with the Stormwater Department as requested. They have seen tools such as pervious parking areas used more commonly in larger in cities because there is no land available for other options. He noted that in City Center the value of the land is an issue. He also noted that a large portion of land in City Center is being dedicated to stormwater management, so something like “green roofs” could be discussed. Mr. Gagnon said state regulations require certain volumes of water be treated, either on site on into a secondary system. If that system overflows, water goes into a pipe and into a stream. The ideal is for the water to go back into the ground. Ms. Louisos said the current City requirement is that all methods be held to the same standard, and she wasn’t sure they should require one method over another. Mr. Conner said one suggestion is to lower the requirement to treating less than one-half acre. The Stormwater Department is also looking into a credit on stormwater billing for large properties for participation in some training. This would help ensure good management of the systems. Ms. Louisos suggested the possibility that if a business isn’t meeting the ½‐acre threshold and is adding some more parking spaces, they would have to use pervious concrete. She supported requiring some pervious surface for more than just a few parking spaces. Ms. Ostby suggested that different treatments might be required in different parts of the city. Mr. Conner noted that on some major roads there is no place to deal with stormwater. The Stormwater Department is looking to see if the city could incentivize private landowners to help out. Ms. Louisos noted that “recreation vehicles” were crossed out of Section J. She thought it might be good to keep them in. Mr. Conner agreed. Commissioners agreed by consensus to advance the draft parking amendments to the next round of changes as presented, with the correction to Section J, and to add the subject of stormwater & pervious parking to when the Commission returns to the subject of parking as previously committed to at the last meeting. b. Subdivision administration and enforcement key questions: Mr. Conner directed attention to notes from Ms. LaRose. He asked members if they could think of any reason for not doing a subdivision. He noted that basic subdivision standards would always apply. A PUD would allow modification of those standards if certain city goals were met. Mr. Conner also noted that Sharon Murray recommends tighter waiver authority as to when you can get a waiver for a subdivision. Ms. Ostby questioned whether a subdivision could have a requirement that what goes there be solar ready. Mr. Conner said they could provide an incentive for that (e.g., more square footage). Mr. Conner noted that the language for administrative approval of minor boundary adjustments provides more guidance. One addition is that the acreage to be transferred is less than the minimum lot acreage size. Anything beyond that would have to go to the DRB. Mr. Conner will provide clearer language for this. With regard to Sketch Plan Review, Mr. Conner stressed that this is to be an “informal conversation.” He noted that there is a push to have this be more “formalized,” but the language says it is advisory only. He would like to get input from the DRB on this. Mr. Riehle asked whether neighbors get advised of a sketch plan review. Mr. Conner said they do. With regard to referencing the Comprehensive Plan, Mr. Conner noted staff is working with the City Attorney as to how to do this. He will come back with more detail. c. Building Typologies, follow-up from 19 February: Mr. Conner noted one more type, “apartment building” has been added. He showed an example from the City of Burlington of how to approach defining building types on a page. This information will be given to Mark Kane so he can work something up. Mr. Riehle stressed the need to allow for creativity in design. Ms. Ostby requested that cottage clusters allow up to 12 units instead of 3 to 9. She also felt buildings could be 2 stories, not just 1-1/2. Mr. Conner said this section does not address standards; it just defines the types. d. Update on city-wide street types: Mr. Conner said he met with the Bike/Ped Committee, and they want more attention paid to the NACTO Guide of street types. They feel the city has too many types. To address this, some types have been removed, and the more typical ones remain. The intention is to focus more attention on new streets and how they should be designed. There is less attention to “retrofitting” existing streets. Staff is proposing that things that are “below ground” be pulled out and put into a Public Works guide book. Members were OK with this. 8. Meeting Minutes: No minutes were presented for approval. 9. Other Business: a. PAT&T Mobility Public Utilities Commission Section 245 Request, 825 Williston Road: Mr. Conner noted the request is to add 10 feet to the pole. This is an advisory item only. As there was no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned by common consent at 9:22 p.m. Minutes approved by the Planning Commission on March 12, 2019 Published by ClerkBase ©2019 by Clerkbase.

Provide feedback to City Council on Interim Zoning #IZ-19-01, 1420 Hinesburg Rd (7:20 pm) The City Council this past week held a public hearing on their first Interim Zoning application. It was for a four-lot subdivision at 1420 Hinesburg Road, between Hinesburg Road and Highland Terrace. The Council asked Councilor Barritt to attend the PC meeting and gather some information from the Commission about whether a project of this scale (four single family house lots from 2.0 acres) would likely be part of future PUD regulations and if so in what manner. Enclosed is a copy of the subdivision plat for your reference. Councilor Barritt will take your feedback back to the Council for their continued public hearing (March 7th) 7.

Commissioners endorsed the approach and asked staff to address a handful of specific items as part of an initial set of amendments: 1. Parking minimums for multi-family housing. Staff had flagged at the meeting that in making the proposed reductions city-wide, it had inadvertently had the effect of increasing minimums for multi-family housing by eliminating the DRB’s 25% waiver authority. The enclosed draft addresses this by simply reducing multi-family housing minimums by 25%. 2. Screening of parking areas facing the street. The Commission did not have consensus on whether to require 3’ high screening for parking areas adjacent to the street via landscaping or walls. Staff requests that the Commission provide clarity on this. 3. Bicycle Parking & Vehicle Parking interface. In response to a commissioner concern about the removal of parking lot bike parking areas, staff has inserted a proposal to encourage larger more specific bike parking areas that would represent more than a single rack. See last note in draft. 4. Incentives or requirements for pervious pavers or other pervious parking treatments. Commissioners asked staff to meet with staff from the Stormwater Department and find out how pervious paving could be integrated into parking layout. Staff met with Tom DiPietro and Dave Wheeler this week and discussed the subject. Framework: In 2014, the City adopted comprehensive amendments to the Stormwater standards in the LDRs. The Planning Commission’s direction in developing these regulations was to focus on performance standards (ie, outcomes) and not on specific implementation tools. In other words, the Regulations establish strict standards for treatment of rainwater on the site, with the priority being infiltration, without specifying the exact tools to be used. So, as the Commission considers options related to pervious parking, keep in mind that the stormwater from any impervious surface must already be treated. From a strickly stormwater perspective, therefore, requiring pervious parking would not by itself alter the volume or treatment of rainwater. Based on this, staff recommends that the Commission determine what specific objectives are being sought with the application of pervious parking. Additional considerations: • Porous asphalt (one of the options) is continuing to present longevity problems. With our climate, the materials continue to break down, especially in higher-traffic areas. • Pervious pavers can work, but they are expensive to install • The installation of pervious parking is still pretty new in this area, and there is not a great deal of expertise among construction firms – meaning that the rate of failure of the product is higher and the cost is also higher. • All pervious materials need to be regularly maintained to remove dirt, silt, etc. If this isn’t done regularly, the facilities no longer become pervious • There are some challenges with pervious parking in terms of clean-up of accidental contaminations – eg an oil spill from a car. This is still being worked out at the state level Some ideas and options: Stormwater staff had some ideas for how the City could pursue more infiltration & pervious surfaces: • Require / incentivize pervious pavers for patios & walkways (these areas get less use than parking areas & sidewalks, and so will wilt up less quickly and be less prone to failure) • Consider lowering the minimum threshold for when stormwater treatment is required for parking lots and parking lot expansions (presently the threshold is ½ acre of impervious – less than the state’s 1 acre threshold) • If pervious parking areas were to be required, have it be for parking above a certain amount. In that case, the best system for stormwater at this time appears to be structural turf. It’s a lattice material that has vegetation in between. Caution: if not well maintained, this can look ugly • Consider incentives for green or blue roofs, especially in City Center Staff recommendation: Staff would recommend that the Commission consider these options as a possible Phase II of parking – similar to the consideration of maximums. We recommend this for the following reasons: - The two subjects may intertwine (maximums and requirements/ incentives for pervious) - With the Commission’s current workload, the act of eliminating minimum parking minimums will already have a significant impact on the amount of paved surfaces being created. South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 1 Parking Standard Revisions – Draft for Planning Commission Review 13.01 Off Street Parking and Loading A. Purpose. Parking areas and off-street loading, where provided, shall be designed in a manner that In order to minimizes traffic congestion, air pollution, and the risk of motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, as well as to promote other elements of sound community planning., off-street parking and loading spaces shall be required of all structures and land uses. Such spaces shall be provided and kept available as an accessory use to all permitted and conditional uses of structures, lots, and land in amounts not less than those specified in Tables 13-1 through 13-6, Schedule of Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements within non-transect zone districts, and neither less nor more than the standards set forth within the City Center FBC District (Article 8). Subject to the provisions of Section 13.01(N), Exemptions and Waivers, the requirements of this section shall apply under the following circumstances: All new structures erected for use on a property. Any structure which is hereafter altered or enlarged. All new uses of a property. Any use of a property which is hereafter altered or enlarged. B. Determination of Parking and Loading Spaces. (1) Minimum Parking Amounts. Except as specifically provided for in Table 13-1, there shall be no minimum number of parking spaces. See Article 8 (City Center Form Based Codes) for maximum allowable parking by Transect Zone. All structures and land uses shall be provided with a sufficient amount of off-street parking to meet the needs of persons employed at or making use of such structures or land uses, and sufficient off- street loading facilities to meet the needs of such structures or land uses, but not less than the minimum standards of Tables 13-1 through 13-6, Schedule of Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements within non-transect zone districts, and neither less nor more than the standards set forth within the City Center FBC District (Article 8)s. No certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance shall be issued for any structure or land use until the required off-street parking and/or loading spaces have been established. Required off-street parking and/or loading facilities shall be maintained as long as the use of structure exists which the facilities are designed to serve. The following methods shall be used to determine the number of required off-street parking and loading spaces: (a) The requirement for a single use shall be determined directly from the schedule of such requirements in Tables 13-1 through 13-6. Within the City Center FBC District, requirements shall be determined pursuant to applicable Transect Zone Building Envelope Standards. (b) The requirement for a combination use made up of several different component uses (e.g., a restaurant and bar; or a retail store combined with an office building or a storage area) shall be determined by undertaking a shared parking calculation as explained under Section 13.01(E). (c) When the required number of spaces is determined to result in a fraction, it shall be increased to the next highest whole number. South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 2 (d) If the use is not specifically listed in the schedule of such requirements, the requirements shall be the same as for the most similar use listed, as determined by the Development Review Board. (e) When the schedule requires the number of spaces to be calculated per employee and employees are on the site in shifts, the number to be used is the number of employees present during the largest shift plus any provision for shift overlaps. In all other cases it shall mean the total number of employees on the site or who will use the site for parking at any one time. (f) A garage or a carport may be used to meet the requirements of this section. A driveway may only be used to meet the requirements of this section where it serves a one-family dwelling. A driveway can be considered to meet the parking requirement for a two-family dwelling if cars can enter or exit independently for each unit. (g) Uses which require approval pursuant to Article 14, Site Plan and Conditional Use Review may be required to provide off-street parking spaces in excess of the requirements of this section and Tables 13-1 through 13-6. Notes applicable to Tables 13-1 through 13-6: 1. If all parking spaces are common, i.e. non-reserved, and if there are more than 10 DUs, the requirement decreases to 2 spaces per DU 2. Any spaces required as part of the operational function, such as display, storage or queuing spaces at the transfer station or service station, are in addition 3. Add 3 per 1,000 SF GFA for retail areas plus 3.5 per 1,000 SF GFA for office space 4. Parking need varies according to type of facility and will be determined during site plan approval 5. For the City Center FBC District (Article 8), these tables do not apply. See applicable Transect Zone Building Envelope Standards 6. Bicycle parking may substitute for up to 25% of required parking. For every five required bicycle parking spaces that meet the short or long term bicycle parking standards, the motor vehicle parking requirement is reduced by one space. Existing parking may be converted to take advantage of this provision Definitions applicable to Tables 13-1 through 13-6: “Employee” means the number of employees working at the specific location on the main shift plus any overlap from prior or later shifts.

2 C. Location of Off Street Parking, Loading, and Vehicle Entrances. (1) Except as provided in the City Center FBC District and in Sections 13.01(E) and (D), off street parking and loading that is required for a use or uses under this section shall be located entirely on the property on which the use or uses exist. The Development Review Board may approve required off street parking that is located off the property (“off-site parking”) on which a use or uses exist, according to Section 13.01(D). (12) Vehicle Entrance. No curb cuts or vehicle entrance from any public street shall be constructed or maintained except in conformance with all applicable standards of the City of South Burlington and Vermont Agency of Transportation. (32) The installation of acceleration and/or deceleration lanes on the adjacent public street may be required if deemed necessary by the Development Review Board. (43) Driveways shall be located more than two hundred (200) feet from signalized street intersections (measured between the near edges of the driveway and intersection), except upon recommendation by the Director of Public Works based on site-specific circumstances Greater distances are encouraged on streets with high traffic volumes. (54) Screening shall be provided where headlights from vehicles on site may be visible and project parallel to a public street. (5) Screening of aAll parking areas adjacent to a public street shall be screened from the street by fencing, walls, or vegetation measuring at least three (3) feet in height. South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 6 D. Off-Site Parking. (1) The use of any off-site, separately-owned parking by another person or business shall not require approval under these Regulations. In no event, however, shall off-site parking and loading space for any non- residential use be located in any R1, R12, R4, LN, QCP or SEQ district. (1) Required parking and loading spaces shall normally be provided upon the same lot as the use or structure to which they are accessory. However, there may be occasions where off-site parking is beneficial, whether off-site parking is combined with parking requirements for other uses or parcels, or just for one particular use. Parking could be provided off-site in combination with parking for other uses that are the same (e.g. several retail establishments could combine parking) or that are different. If the uses are the same, the parking requirement shall be determined by adding the parking space needs as per Tables 13-1 through 13-6. If the uses are different, a shared parking calculation shall be undertaken as per Section 13.01(E). (2) Off-site parking may be provided for non-residential uses provided that the Development Review Board approves a plan for off-site parking meeting the following requirements: (a) The applicant(s) provides an acceptable overall design and an accurate site plan for all properties affected by the parking proposal in conjunction with site plan or PUD review. All owners of the property(ies) where the off-site parking will be provided shall sign the application. (b) The lots involved generally shall be adjacent. However, at its discretion, the DRB may approve a plan for off-site parking where the off-site parking is located within eight hundred (800) linear feet at its farthest point of the property on which the associated use or uses exist. This subsection does not apply to the City Center FBC District. See the applicable Transect Zone Building Envelope Standards for standards. (c) The applicant shall record appropriate legal documents to ensure that the off-site parking spaces shall be available for use by the user or users for which the off-site parking spaces are being sought. Such legal documents shall be acceptable to the City Attorney in form and content. Such legal documents shall ensure the continued existence of the parking lot or facility to serve said uses so long as they may exist. Such agreement shall guarantee also that upon termination of such joint use, each subsequent use of the premises will provide off-street parking for its own use in accordance with the requirements of this section and Tables 13-1 through 13-6. (d) The required parking spaces to be provided, their locations and striping shall be shown on the plan. (e) In no event shall off-site parking and loading space for any non-residential use be located in any R1, R1, R4, LN, QCP or SEQ district. E. Shared Parking on a Single Lot. As a matter of public policy, the City of South Burlington finds that the coordination of off-street parking between adjoining non-residential sites is desirable (1) to allow for traffic circulation between sites rather than having all traffic entering and exiting the existing road system to proceed from site to site, (2) to allow for improved pedestrian circulation, and (3) to reduce the overall amount of paved surface on a site. This coordination can take various forms, from a simple paved connection to a more elaborate plan to provide both a connection and shared parking arrangements. Such connection and shared parking are not to be considered a parking waiver, but an agreement between the landowners and the City of South Burlington to effect an overall circulation and parking plan. (2) Where the Development Review Board determines that a proposed development consisting of two (2) or more uses will generate different hourly, daily and/or seasonal parking demands due to the South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 7 varied hours of operation of each use and different peaking characteristics, the Development Review Board may approve a site plan or PUD utilizing shared parking on the site that is the subject of the application, or on another site (see Shared Parking, Section 13.01(E) above). The Development Review Board may, at its discretion, allow for a reduced number of shared parking spaces to be provided, on or off site, provided that: (a) The applicant shall provide the Development Review Board with a site plan and a complete and accurate description of the proposed uses and floor areas devoted to such uses. All uses participating in the shared parking plan must be located within a convenient walking distance to the shared parking facility, which generally shall be defined as one-quarter (1/4) mile. (b) A shared parking analysis shall be presented calculating the parking demand for each individual use by time period and, where applicable, by season, in the form of a matrix. The various time periods shall depend on the uses being analyzed. These periods typically include a weekday morning, weekday lunch time, weekday afternoon, weekday evening, Saturday midday and Saturday evening. If the uses experience significant seasonal variations the analysis should be done for the peak season and possibly for different seasons (summer, winter, special events, etc.) For each use, the matrix should indicate the individual peak demand corresponding to the parking requirement as indicated in Tables 13-1 through 13-6, then the expected demand for each time period being analyzed in terms of a percentage of the peak demand and the number of parking spaces required for that use at that particular time period. For instance, if there is a 50,000 SF office component in a mixed-use project, the peak demand for that component is 175 spaces (3.5 times 50), and during the weekday am period that component will have a presence of 100%, i.e. 175 spaces, during lunch time the presence would be 90%, i.e. 158 spaces, during the weekday afternoon the presence would be 97%, i.e. 170 spaces, and during the evening hours the presence would be 20%, i.e. 35 spaces. The same analysis needs to be done for the other uses that are part of the sharing arrangement. To calculate the total number of spaces required with the sharing arrangement the numbers of spaces required for each use need to be added for each time period, and the largest number determines the requirement. This analysis should be undertaken by a professional planner or engineer, and can be based on the “Shared Parking” publication by the Urban Land Institute or on “Shared Parking Planning Guidelines”, an informational report by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. In some cases the applicant may have to undertake specific surveys of individual uses to determine the percentage present at various time periods. If the parking demand of a new use is to be shared with an existing use the applicant should undertake an occupancy survey of the existing parking facility. (c) The parking spaces that are part of a shared parking plan cannot be reserved for individual users or destinations, unless those reserved spaces are excluded from the calculation. (d) The Development Review Board may order the property owner to construct the future parking spaces if, at the Administrative Officer’s recommendation, the DRB determines a need for additional spaces to be constructed. For example, a change in the use(s) or the ownership of the parcel may be enough to require the installation of the parking spaces. In the event that the owner fails to install the additional parking spaces within one hundred twenty (120) days of being so ordered the City Attorney shall take appropriate action in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the use of said premises. When this subsection is utilized, the site plan shall contain a statement, signed by the applicant in such a form as shall be approved by the City Attorney, consenting to the provisions contained herein. In addition, the property owner shall be required to submit a covenant, for filing in the City Clerk’s office, in such a form as shall be approved by the City Attorney, indicating consent to the provisions of this subsection. South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 8 (e) The approval of such shared parking shall be automatically terminated upon the termination of the operation of any of the involved uses.

(2) The percentages for the presence of each peak parking demand by time period are based on "Shared Parking" by the Urban Land Institute and on BFJ experience. (Table produced by BFJ, October 2002) F. Access Management Requirements. It is the intent of the City to minimize traffic and pedestrian conflicts caused by vehicular driveways on public roadways by reducing the number of required driveways and by minimizing the number of vehicles utilizing such driveways off public roadways. All applicants must make an effort to reduce these impacts. All commercial lots (retail, restaurant, office, service uses, excluding residential, agricultural and industrial uses) located adjacent to other commercial lots must provide a driveway connection to any adjacent commercial lot. If the adjacent property owner does not want to provide for that connection, the applicant must provide an easement to do so in the future when circumstances may change. This driveway connection or easement should be located where the vehicular and pedestrian circulation is most feasible. G. Design Requirements for Parking Spaces, Parking Aisles, Lighting, and Landscaping. (1) Design requirements for off-street parking and loading are provided in Table 13-82 and Figure 13- 1 within Section 13.01, Off-Street Parking and Loading, Section 13.06, Landscaping, Screening, and Street Trees, and Section 13.07, Exterior Lighting. All paved parking spaces shall be striped or otherwise physically delimited. (2) The location of parking areas and loading docks shall prevent conflicts with entering and exiting traffic onto a public street and prevent conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. The distance between access points and parking areas shall be adequate to minimize blockage and prevent back-ups onto the public street. (3) Provision shall be made for access by police, fire and emergency vehicles. (4) Pedestrian safety. Insofar as practicable, pedestrian and bicycle circulation shall be separated from motor vehicle circulation. Safe and convenient pedestrian circulation, including appropriate sidewalks, shall be provided on the site and its approaches. The pedestrian circulation on site shall be designed to minimize adverse effects of vehicular traffic on sidewalks and recreation paths. (5) Bicycle parking or storage facility. See Section 13.14. At least one (1) bicycle parking or storage facility shall be provided for all uses subject to site plan or Planned Unit Development review to serve persons employed or residing on the premises as well as the visiting public. Additional such facilities may South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 9 be required as deemed necessary by the Development Review Board or as required within the City Center FBC District. (6) Stormwater management strategies that facilitate infiltration including but not limited to recessed planting islands, bioretention facilities, and pervious parking spaces are encouraged in the design of any off-street parking or loading area. H. Number of Parking Spaces. The required number of spaces shall be as listed in Tables 13-1 through 13-6 above, except within the City Center FBC District, Transect Zones (See applicable Transect Zone Building Envelope Standards) and the SEQ-VC subdistrict (See Article 9). For any use not specifically listed in the schedule of such requirements, the requirements shall be the same as for the most similar use listed, as determined by the Administrative Officer. H. I. Handicapped –Accessible Parking Spaces. Parking spaces for handicapped persons shall be provided for all non-residential uses. The size, number, type and location of parking spaces shall comply with the current ADA Accessibility Guidelines. Handicap accessible spaces are required to be eight feet (8'0") wide, with an adjacent access aisle five feet (5'0") wide. One in every eight (8) accessible spaces must have an access aisle eight feet (8'0") wide and must be signed "van accessible". The number of accessible spaces required is shown in Table 13-7 below. Table 13-7 Minimum Number of Accessible Parking Spaces Required Total parking spaces in lot 1 - 25 26- 50 51 - 75 76 - 100 101- 150 151- 200 201- 300 301- 400 401- 500 501- 1000 > 1,000 Number of accessible spaces in lot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2% of total 20 + 1 per 100 over 1,000 J. Recreational Vehicles. Parking or storage facilities for recreational vehicles shall be provided in all multi-family residential developments of twenty-five (25) units or more, except within the City Center FBC District (where they shall be optional at the applicant’s discretion). Recreational vehicles shall not be stored on any common open lands other than those specifically approved for such purpose by the DRB through the review process. The Development Review Board may waive this provision only upon a showing by the applicant that the storage and parking of recreational vehicles shall be prohibited within all private and common areas of the development. K. Access Drives. Commercial or industrial access drives connecting parking areas to a public street or right-of-way shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) feet in width, or ten (10) feet if designated for one-way traffic. Residential access drives serving garages and parking lots shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet in width. Aisles and access drives shall be privately owned and maintained. I. L. Parking Reserved for Future UseReserved Parking. In order to minimize the construction of unnecessary parking, In the event that an applicant can demonstrate to the Development Review Board that its present parking needs do not necessitate the construction of the number of parking spaces required herein, the Administrative Officer or Development Review Board may approve a site plan with reserved parking reserved for construction at a future date. In such granting such an approval, the Administrative Officer or DRB shall specific a timeframe during which said parking may be constructed without receipt of an additional site plan approval. In no case shall such time frame exceed ten (10) years. Removal of parking reserve areas shall require site plan amendment. requiring the present construction of a lesser number of spaces. In such an event, the site plan shall show sufficient spaces reserved for future parking requirements with the combined number of spaces being not less than that required by Table 13-1 through 13-6. In all cases, at least two-thirds (2/3s) of the number of required parking spaces shall be provided. The remaining reserved space shall remain unpaved or kept pervious until such time as it is needed, unless the reserved area is used for South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 10 internal circulation. The reserved area shall be shown on any site plan. The Development Review Board may order the property owner to install the future parking spaces if, at the Administrative Officer’s recommendation and the Development Review Board’s sole discretion, the need for additional spaces arises. For example, a change in the use(s) or the ownership of the parcel may be enough to require the installation of the parking spaces. In the event that the owner fails to install the additional parking spaces within one hundred twenty (120) days of being so ordered, the Administrative Officer shall revoke the certificate of occupancy for the premises, and the City Attorney may take appropriate action in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the use of said premises. When this subsection is utilized, the site plan shall contain a statement, signed by the applicant in such a form as shall be approved by the City Attorney, consenting to the provisions contained herein. In addition, the property owner shall be required to submit a covenant, for filing in the City Records office, in such a form as shall be approved by the City Attorney, indicating consent to the provisions of this subsection. J.M. Structured Parking. Structured parking is encouraged may be allowed by the Development Review Board in conjunction with approval of a site plan or PUD. Structured parking shall be defined as any structure consisting of more than one level and used to store motor vehicles. The parking structure may be stand-alone or may be part of or attached to another structure. Such structures typically comprise parking decks, garages, or roof-top parking areas. The Development Review Board may require design elements for parking structures that specifically address safety, security, lighting, landscaping, and visual aesthetics as conditions for approval. K. Reserved Parking Spaces. Reservation of non-residential parking spaces for single tenants or users is strongly discouraged. Reserved parking, and associated signage, shall be permitted only under the following circumstances: (1) To meet or exceed Federal ADA requirements (2) To provide a limited number of courtesy spaces for users (examples: 15-minute only, pick & drop off, seniors, expectant mothers) (3) To provide for electric vehicles, carpool spaces, car-share spaces, or other similar purposes (4) To provide a minimal number of spaces for a small commercial business where other residential or non-residential uses would otherwise dominate parking areas (5) Where the Development Review Board finds that other demonstrated unique circumstances exist that would require a limited number of reserved spaces. In such an instance, the Board shall permit only the minimum number necessary to address the unique circumstances. K. N. Exemptions, Waivers, Modifications of Requirements. Dimensions. (1) Exemptions. Existing buildings and uses are exempt as follows: (a) Structures and land uses lawfully in existence or in use or for which zoning permits have been approved by the effective date of these regulations shall not be subject to the parking or loading space requirements set forth in this section. However, any parking or loading facility now existing to serve such structures or uses shall not be reduced except where such facility exceeds such requirements, in which case such facility shall not be reduced below such requirements. (b) However, no structure or lot lawfully in use at the effective date of this chapter shall be enlarged unless the off-street parking and truck loading space requirements of this section are complied with to the same extent as would be required if the entire pre-existing structure or use and the proposed enlargement were being submitted as if they were a new application. The Development Review Board shall require additional off-street parking and truck loading spaces with respect to the South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 11 proposed enlargement, but at its discretion may not require additional spaces with respect to the preexisting part of the structure or use. (2) Waivers. Except within the City Center FBC District, where the Development Review Board determines that a proposed land use or structure is adequately served by existing or proposed parking facilities, the Development Review Board may waive the off-street parking space requirements stipulated in Tables 13-1 through 13-6, by no more than twenty-five percent (25%). (3) Modifications of Requirements. The Administrative Officer or Development Review Board may approve minor modifications to parking lot dimensions as specified in Table 13-8 where the applicant can demonstrate necessity of modifications and where safety of motor vehicle and pedestrian circulation are retained. Except within the City Center FBC District, where the Development Review Board determines that unique usage or special conditions exist, it may require off-street parking spaces and loading areas greater than the requirements of this section. The Development Review Board may reduce the requirements of Tables 13-1 through 13-6 for the number of off-street parking spaces and loading areas for non-residential uses and structures if it determines that overlapping use of parking spaces or other unique characteristic cause the requirement to be unnecessarily stringent.

Such standards may concern trip ends, parking spaces, gross floor area dedicated to uses where applicable, number of restaurant or retail food establishment seats, and other numerical standards related to the provisions of these regulations. This shall be known as an umbrella approval. (b) Where an applicant with umbrella approval proposes a minor change in use, the Administrative Officer may approve the change as an administrative action and grant a zoning permit. South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 13 The criteria for determining if the change is minor shall include an assessment of projected p.m. peak hour trip ends, required parking spaces, and other numerical criteria specified in the umbrella approval. If the applicable numerical criteria are the same or fewer than those specified in the umbrella approval, the change may be deemed minor. 4.06 RESIDENTIAL 7 WITH NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT - R7-NC … (3) Access, parking, and internal circulation: (a) Parking requirements may be modified, depending in the extent of shared parking, the presence of sidewalks or recreation paths, and residences lying within walking distance (defined as no further than one- fourth of mile for purposes of this zoning district).

South Burlington Land Development Regulations Draft Parking Standard Revisions February 12, 2019 Planning Commission 15 13.14 Bicycle Parking and Storage A. Purpose. These standards for short term parking and long term storage of bicycles are intended to recognize and promote cycling as a viable means of transportation and recreation for residents, consumers, visitors, and employees. B. Short Term Bicycle Parking (1) Applicability. These standards apply to any application for development that requires site plan approval under Section 14.03 of the LDRs, and all applications for development of parcels located in the City Center Form Based Codes District. (a) In order to facilitate a reasonable nexus between land development and bicycle parking requirements, applications for development to which these standards apply on parcels with existing development shall be permitted to phase in required short term bicycle parking as follows: (i) For the first application, the applicant shall propose and install at least 50% of the required number of bicycle parking spaces. (ii) Thereafter, any applications for development of the same parcel shall comply with all standards for Short Term Bicycle Parking. (b) Where pre-approved bicycle racks exist on the site at the time of application, they may be permitted to remain and count towards the minimum requirements of this Section provided: (i) They are compliant with 13.14 B(2)(d)(i) and 13.14(B)(2)(d)(iv) of these regulations; (ii) The bike frame can be attached in at least one place and the bike is supported to stay upright; (iii) The rack is not constructed of wood; (iv) Each space on a rack where a bicycle frame can be attached in at least one place and supported to stay upright shall be considered a bicycle parking space; (v) If parking is on the end or outside of a rack, the parking space must be clear of obstructions in compliance with Appendix G and not obstruct passageways. (2) Standards for bicycle parking spaces (bps). (a) The minimum number of bicycle parking spaces shall be as indicated on Table 13-10.

(vii) Dedicated bicycle parking areas, identified with striping and protected using bollards or islands, are strongly encouraged. (vii) Where existing vehicle parking is replaced with bicycle parking in accordance with Section 13.01, note 6, bicycle parking must still meet the standards herein and shall be safely separated from vehicle parking spaces using striping, bollards, islands or other similar measures deemed adequate by the reviewing party. 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 tel 802.846.4106 fax 802.846.4101 www.sburl.com MEMORANDUM TO: South Burlington Planning Commission FROM: Cathyann LaRose, AICP, City Planner SUBJECT: Subdivision Standards, Administrative Section DATE: February 26, 2019 Planning Commission meeting In the creation of new standards and typologies for Planned Unit Developments, we anticipate that there will be increased use of subdivision standards. As previously discussed, we are working on a large overhaul of our current subdivision standards. You will be seeing the totality of those in the next few weeks. We’ve received the first draft of the administrative portions of those standards from our consulting team. There are some excellent adjustments, some items which are currently undergoing legal review, and some which require a high-level policy discussion. I’ve included those below for your review and consideration. All text in italics are new and for consideration. All notes in [ ] are staff comments on the draft. 15 SUBDIVISION REVIEW 15.01 Purpose and Authority [Currently 15.01, 15.02– substantially expanded, revised] A. Purpose. These subdivision Regulations are intended to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan, in conformance with plan policies and objectives, and the City’s adopted Official Map and Capital Improvement Program, to: • Ensure orderly, coordinated growth and development within the City of South Burlington; • Promote the comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of city residents; • Accommodate planned rates of growth, and ensure that the rate of development does not exceed the City’s capacity to provide municipal facilities and services in an efficient and cost-effective manner; • Ensure that land to be subdivided for development is physically suited for its intended use; • Minimize the fragmentation of and adverse impacts to identified natural, cultural, scenic and other open space resources, in conformance with the city’s open space and resource conservation objectives; • Ensure that the pattern of land subdivision and development, and supporting facilities, infrastructure and utilities, conform to the planned pattern, density and form of development for the zoning district(s) in which it is located, or type of Planned Unit Development (PUD) specified under Article __. 2 • Establish and maintain an integrated, multi-modal transportation and public street network that connects existing and planned development, supports adjacent land uses, and maximizes efficiency and safety for all users including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders; • Foster and reinforce diverse, compact, accessible and walkable residential neighborhoods that offer a full spectrum of housing choices, community facilities and civic and open space; and to • Facilitate community-based renewable energy production in locations that do not contradict or interfere with the City’s land use, open space and resource conservation objectives [As you can see above, most of the purpose statement is new. Staff recommends a careful read here to ensure that the statements reflect community goals. We’re connecting with the consulting team to determine how many of these come directly from the Comprehensive Plan.] C. Waiver Authority. [Note: new for consideration, as provided in statute for subdivision regs—a version of this language could instead be included under Article 17, also for reference under site plan and conditional use review, per statutory waiver provisions. Generally, new subdivisions/ lots should not require “hardship” waivers, unless there are extensive physical constraints—e.g., to avoid a taking.] The DRB has limited authority under § 4418 to waive or modify, subject to conditions, required subdivision application materials, review processes, and standards under this article If it finds that: (1) A requirement or standard does is not relevant to a particular application; or that, (2) Because of physical site limitations or constraints specific to the land to be subdivided, including the lack of existing and planned connecting facilities or services: a. The requirement is not requisite in the interest of public health, safety and welfare; b. The requirement will cause unnecessary and [or] extraordinary hardship; c. The modification or waiver is the minimum necessary to afford relief [avoid a regulatory taking of property], and represents the least deviation from the standards and requirements of these Regulations; and d. The modification or waiver, if granted, will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these Regulations, the comprehensive plan, or other municipal bylaws and ordinances in effect. [Note: taken in part from 14.04(G) site plan review] The DRB, in granting a modification or waiver under this Article, may [shall] impose conditions that in its judgment are necessary to meet the objectives or mitigate the impacts of any modified or waived subdivision standard or requirement. A type of Planned Unit Development (PUD) under Article __ should be considered for more innovative forms of subdivision and development that incorporate modifications in layout, density and design to meet specific community objectives. 3 [Notable here is that waiver provisions do not currently exist under subdivision standards except in PUDs. We’re working through what is an acceptable waiver outside of PUDs, if any. Commissioner feedback here is especially welcome.] C. Minor Lot Line (Boundary) Adjustments. [currently under 15.19] (1) A permit from the Administrative Officer is required for a minor lot line adjustment for which: (a) The sale or exchange of land is between adjacent property owners, and the application is authorized and signed by the owner of each affected lot; (b) The acreage of land to be transferred between each affected lot is less than the minimum lot area for the zoning district(s) in which the lots are located; (c) No new or irregularly shaped lots are created through the adjustment; (d) The relocated lot line does not result in the creation of a nonconforming lot, structure, or use, or increase the existing degree of nonconformance; and (e) The proposed adjustment does not violate the terms or conditions of any prior municipal permit or approval. [new here is an increase in what is considered a minor lot lite adjustment and thus subject to simple administrative permitting rather than full Board review] 15.04 Sketch Plan Review [Currently under 15.05] A. Purpose. The purpose of pre-application sketch plan review, required for any proposed subdivision, is to acquaint the DRB with the subdivision proposal at a conceptual stage in the design process, prior to the submission of a formal application. Sketch plan review offers the subdivider and DRB the opportunity to consider and discuss a conceptual subdivision plan under relevant regulations, prior to incurring the expense of preparing a complete application and surveyed subdivision plat. [this purpose statement is new; we’ve been working with our legal team to determine the purpose and process involved in sketch plan review to make it as clear as possible to the community and the applicant what level of advice or decision, and vesting, a sketch plan provides; this is ongoing and will likely be reflective of recent decisions by the Vermont Environmental Court]. D. Findings and Recommendations. Based on information provided the DRB shall, in writing or meeting minutes: 4 (1) Confirm or amend the Administrative Officer’s initial classification of the proposed subdivision as a Minor, Major or Transect Zone Subdivision; (2) Indicate whether the subdivision as proposed will require Master Plan review under Section 15.06, or review as a Planned Unit Development under Article __; and (3) Provide a preliminary determination [indication?] of whether the sketch plan generally conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and these Regulations. (4) The DRB may also offer specific recommendations for consideration by the subdivider in preparing an application, including suggested modifications or changes to the proposed subdivision layout and design, and any additional information, studies or supporting documentation to be included with the application. (5) At this time, the DRB may also direct an applicant for a minor subdivision to provide additional information and materials normally required for major subdivision review, as applicable to the proposed subdivision. E. Effect. Sketch plan review, while mandatory, is advisory only. Initial DRB findings and recommendations are not binding on the subdivider or the City, and as such are not subject to appeal. Sketch plan review simply authorizes the subdivider to proceed with an application for subdivision approval; it in no way implies formal subdivision approval by the DRB. (1) Sketch plan findings and associated recommendations shall remain in effect for six months from the date issued, unless extended by the DRB at the request of an applicant. (2) Within six months of the completion of sketch plan review, unless extended by the DRB, the applicant must apply to the DRB for preliminary subdivision review, as required for a Major Subdivision under Section 15.05(A), final subdivision review as required for a Minor Subdivision or Transect Zone Subdivision under Section 15.05(B); or master plan review under Section ___ as applicable to a particular subdivision proposal. [see number 3 above. While not new text, we encourage the Planning Commission to further consider the relationship between a subdivision application and the Comprehensive Plan. This standard is currently vague. We can work with our legal team upon the direction of the Commission.] [See E (1) above. The effect dates here are also newly proposed. We currently do not have an expiration date for sketch plan review as no decision is formally issued. ] The document is much larger and is attached for reference, without internal staff notes or legal comments, which are forthcoming. The Commission, as always, is welcome to provide feedback on the totality of the document, but we’ve outlined those areas we find to be most heavily policy-based above. Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 1 of 14 15 SUBDIVISION REVIEW 1 15.01 Purpose and Authority [Currently 15.01, 15.02– substantially expanded, revised] 2 3 A. Purpose. These subdivision Regulations are intended to implement the City’s 4 Comprehensive Plan, in conformance with plan policies and objectives, and the City’s adopted 5 Official Map and Capital Improvement Program, to: 6 • Ensure orderly, coordinated growth and development within the City of South Burlington; 7 • Promote the comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of city residents; 8 • Accommodate planned rates of growth, and ensure that the rate of development does not 9 exceed the City’s capacity to provide municipal facilities and services in an efficient and 10 cost-effective manner; 11 • Ensure that land to be subdivided for development is physically suited for its intended use; 12 • Minimize the fragmentation of and adverse impacts to identified natural, cultural, scenic and other 13 open space resources, in conformance with the city’s open space and resource conservation 14 objectives; 15 • Ensure that the pattern of land subdivision and development, and supporting facilities, 16 infrastructure and utilities, conform to the planned pattern, density and form of 17 development for the zoning district(s) in which it is located, or type of Planned Unit 18 Development (PUD) specified under Article __. 19 • Establish and maintain an integrated, multi-modal transportation and public street network that 20 connects existing and planned development, supports adjacent land uses, and maximizes 21 efficiency and safety for all users including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders; 22 • Foster and reinforce diverse, compact, accessible and walkable residential neighborhoods 23 that offer a full spectrum of housing choices, community facilities and civic and open 24 space; and to 25 • Facilitate community-based renewable energy production in locations that do not 26 contradict or interfere with the City’s land use, open space and resource conservation 27 objectives. 28 29 B. Authority. The Development Review Board (DRB) has the authority, under 24 VSA §§ 30 4418 and 4463 and these Regulations, to review and approve, approve with modifications or 31 conditions, or deny an application for the subdivision of land. 32 33 C. Waiver Authority. [Note: new for consideration, as provided in statute for subdivision 34 regs—a version of this language could instead be included under Article 17, also for reference 35 under site plan and conditional use review, per statutory waiver provisions. Generally, new 36 subdivisions/ lots should not require “hardship” waivers, unless there are extensive physical 37 constraints—e.g., to avoid a taking.] The DRB has limited authority under § 4418 to waive or 38 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 2 of 14 modify, subject to conditions, required subdivision application materials, review processes, and 1 standards under this article If it finds that: 2 3 (1) A requirement or standard does is not relevant to a particular application; or that, 4 5 (2) Because of physical site limitations or constraints specific to the land to be subdivided, 6 including the lack of existing and planned connecting facilities or services: 7 a. The requirement is not requisite in the interest of public health, safety and welfare; 8 b. The requirement will cause unnecessary and [or] extraordinary hardship; 9 c. The modification or waiver is the minimum necessary to afford relief [avoid a 10 regulatory taking of property], and represents the least deviation from the standards 11 and requirements of these Regulations; and 12 d. The modification or waiver, if granted, will not have the effect of nullifying the intent 13 and purpose of these Regulations, the comprehensive plan, or other municipal bylaws 14 and ordinances in effect. [Note: taken in part from 14.04(G) site plan review] 15 16 The DRB, in granting a modification or waiver under this Article, may [shall] impose conditions 17 that in its judgment are necessary to meet the objectives or mitigate the impacts of any modified 18 or waived subdivision standard or requirement. A type of Planned Unit Development (PUD) 19 under Article __ should be considered for more innovative forms of subdivision and development 20 that incorporate modifications in layout, density and design to meet specific community 21 objectives. 22 23 15.02 Applicability [New; see current definition of “Subdivision”] 24 A. Subdivision Approval. Final subdivision plan and plat approval from the DRB under 15.05 25 (B) is required prior to: 26 (1) The sale, lease or conveyance of any portion of a parcel of land; 27 28 (2) Site preparation, grading, clearing, construction or the installation of site improvements 29 associated with the subdivision of land or the development of a parcel to be subdivided, 30 excluding forestry, agricultural and land surveying activities; 31 32 (3) Recording a subdivision plat or deed for a subdivided parcel in city land records; or 33 34 (4) Issuing a zoning permit for the development of a subdivided parcel. 35 B. Exceptions. The following may be recorded in city land records without first obtaining 36 DRB subdivision approval under these Regulations: 37 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 3 of 14 (1) A right-of-way or easement such as a trail, conservation, stormwater or utility easement 1 that does not define or result in the subdivision of land. 2 3 (2) The transfer of a portion of a parcel to an adjoining public parcel or right-of-way, for a 4 public purpose that conforms to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Official Map or Capital 5 Improvement Program (see Minor Lot Line Adjustment under (C)). 6 7 (3) Technical corrections to a previously recorded survey plat or deed which document or 8 correct existing metes, bounds, elevations, or other known errors or deficiencies. 9 10 (4) The division, lease or use of a portion of a parcel larger than twenty-five (25) acres solely 11 for agricultural or forestry purposes, which does not require a new highway access or the 12 installation of a permanent road or municipal infrastructure, provided that an instrument 13 which waives development rights, until or unless subdivision review occurs, is approved 14 by the City Attorney and City Council and is recorded in city land records. 15 16 (5) The notice of a Certificate of Public Good (CPG) issued by the Vermont Public Utility 17 Commission for an in-state energy generation facility with a capacity greater than 15 18 kilowatts, as required under 30 VSA § 248, which identifies the land on which the facility 19 is to be located by reference to the deed of record for the property as conveyed to the 20 current landowner. 21 C. Minor Lot Line (Boundary) Adjustments. [currently under 15.19] 22 (1) A permit from the Administrative Officer is required for a minor lot line adjustment for 23 which: 24 25 (a) The sale or exchange of land is between adjacent property owners, and the 26 application is authorized and signed by the owner of each affected lot; 27 (b) The acreage of land to be transferred between each affected lot is less than the 28 minimum lot area for the zoning district(s) in which the lots are located; 29 (c) No new or irregularly shaped lots are created through the adjustment; 30 (d) The relocated lot line does not result in the creation of a nonconforming lot, structure, 31 or use, or increase the existing degree of nonconformance; and 32 (e) The proposed adjustment does not violate the terms or conditions of any prior 33 municipal permit or approval. 34 35 (2) The application for a minor lot line adjustment must be accompanied by a survey plat 36 prepared by a licensed land surveyor that depicts and references each lot to be modified 37 by the adjustment. 38 39 (a) The survey shall clearly indicate the area, metes, bounds and ties of each lot. 40 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 4 of 14 (b) The survey shall also clearly depict all existing structures, site improvements, 1 delineated setbacks, parking spaces, lot coverage and other details specified by the 2 Administrative Officer as necessary to determine conformance with this section. 3 4 (3) Where there is uncertainty as to whether an application constitutes a minor lot line 5 adjustment, the Administrative Officer may refer the application to the DRB for review as 6 a subdivision. 7 8 (4) All other lot line adjustments shall require subdivision approval from the DRB. 9 15.03 Classification [Note: incorporates current definitions, with noted changes] 10 A. Subdivision Classes. For the purposes of these Regulations, subdivisions of land shall be 11 classified as follows: 12 (1) A Minor Subdivision, to be reviewed under Section 15.05(B), which is limited to: 13 14 (a) The subdivision of an existing lot, tract or parcel of land into two lots, including the 15 parent or retained lot, if the lot to be created is less than two times the minimum lot 16 area for the district in which it is located, and has required frontage on a public 17 roadway, 18 (b) A lot line adjustment which does not meet the requirements for administrative 19 approval under Section 15.02(C), or. 20 (c) A proposed amendment to an approved subdivision that does not substantially alter 21 the subdivision or conditions of subdivision approval or result in a major subdivision. 22 23 (2) A Major Subdivision, to be reviewed under Section 15.05(A) and (B), which includes a 24 subdivision of land that involves any of the following: 25 26 (a) The subdivision of an existing lot, tract or parcel of land into two lots, which does not 27 qualify as a minor subdivision; 28 (b) The creation of three or more lots through the subdivision or re-subdivision of an 29 existing lot, tract or parcel; 30 (c) The installation or extension of one or more public streets; 31 (d) The extension of any off-tract municipal or governmental infrastructure, facilities or 32 other improvements; 33 (e) A Planned Unit Development (PUD) under Article ___, to be reviewed by the DRB 34 concurrently with subdivision review; or 35 (f) A proposed amendment to an approved subdivision which substantially alters the 36 subdivision or conditions of subdivision approval, or which results in the creation of a 37 major subdivision. 38 39 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 5 of 14 (3) A Transect Zone Subdivision, to be reviewed under Section 15.05(B) and Article 8, for any 1 subdivision of land within a designated Transect Zone. 2 15.04 Sketch Plan Review [Currently under 15.05] 3 A. Purpose. The purpose of pre-application sketch plan review, required for any proposed 4 subdivision, is to acquaint the DRB with the subdivision proposal at a conceptual stage in the 5 design process, prior to the submission of a formal application. Sketch plan review offers the 6 subdivider and DRB the opportunity to consider and discuss a conceptual subdivision plan under 7 relevant regulations, prior to incurring the expense of preparing a complete application and 8 surveyed subdivision plat. 9 B. Submission Requirements. 10 (1) For the purpose of initial classification and review, the subdivider must provide the 11 Administrative Officer with the information and materials specified for sketch plan review 12 under Appendix E. Submission Requirements. 13 14 [Note: Currently detailed site plan information under 14.05 is also included under sketch plan review, for 15 consideration at the preliminary plat stage for subdivisions involving commercial, industrial or multifamily 16 uses, or a PUD… confusing as included under “sketch plan” review…especially w/ re to level of detail 17 required.] 18 19 (2) The subdivider may schedule one or more meetings with the Administrative Officer to 20 discuss the proposed subdivision, sketch plan, and associated application requirements and 21 review processes. 22 C. Review Process. 23 (1) Classification. Once all required information is received, the Administrative Officer shall 24 classify the proposed subdivision as a Minor Subdivision, Major Subdivision, or Transect 25 Zone Subdivision, and refer the sketch plan to the DRB for consideration at a regularly 26 scheduled DRB meeting. [Also include referrals to other staff, committees?] The 27 Administrative Officer shall also note whether the proposed subdivision in concept, or as 28 requested by the subdivider, would require Master Plan Review under Section 15.07 or 29 review as a Planned Unit Development under Article __. 30 31 (2) Sketch Plan Meeting(s). The subdivider or his/her duly authorized representative shall 32 attend the scheduled DRB to present the sketch plan and discuss the proposed 33 subdivision in concept. The DRB may schedule additional meetings as needed, or upon 34 request of the subdivider, to consider supplemental information, including alternative 35 conceptual designs. 36 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 6 of 14 D. Findings and Recommendations. Based on information provided the DRB shall, in writing 1 or meeting minutes: 2 (1) Confirm or amend the Administrative Officer’s initial classification of the proposed 3 subdivision as a Minor, Major or Transect Zone Subdivision; 4 (2) Indicate whether the subdivision as proposed will require Master Plan review under 5 Section 15.06, or review as a Planned Unit Development under Article __; and 6 (3) Provide a preliminary determination [indication?] of whether the sketch plan generally 7 conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and these Regulations. 8 (4) The DRB may also offer specific recommendations for consideration by the subdivider in 9 preparing an application, including suggested modifications or changes to the proposed 10 subdivision layout and design, and any additional information, studies or supporting 11 documentation to be included with the application. 12 (5) At this time, the DRB may also direct an applicant for a minor subdivision to provide 13 additional information and materials normally required for major subdivision review, as 14 applicable to the proposed subdivision. 15 E. Effect. Sketch plan review, while mandatory, is advisory only. Initial DRB findings and 16 recommendations are not binding on the subdivider or the City, and as such are not subject to 17 appeal. Sketch plan review simply authorizes the subdivider to proceed with an application for 18 subdivision approval; it in no way implies formal subdivision approval by the DRB. 19 (1) Sketch plan findings and associated recommendations shall remain in effect for six months 20 from the date issued, unless extended by the DRB at the request of an applicant. 21 22 (2) Within six months of the completion of sketch plan review, unless extended by the DRB, 23 the applicant must apply to the DRB for preliminary subdivision review, as required for a 24 Major Subdivision under Section 15.05(A), final subdivision review as required for a Minor 25 Subdivision or Transect Zone Subdivision under Section 15.05(B); or master plan review 26 under Section ___ as applicable to a particular subdivision proposal. 27 15.05 Subdivision Review [Currently 15.06, 15.08 -- move hearing processes, etc. to Article 17?] 28 A. Preliminary Subdivision Review. Preliminary subdivision review by the DRB is required 29 for all Major Subdivisions, including Planned Unit Developments under Article ___. The purpose 30 of preliminary subdivision review is to evaluate a proposed subdivision under the standards of 31 these Regulations, to determine conformance with a previously approved master plan, to allocate 32 available infrastructure capacity, to identify specific issues or concerns that must be addressed or 33 mitigated prior to final subdivision review and, upon preliminary approval, to allow the applicant 34 to seek other necessary permits or approvals that may result in proposed modifications, prior to 35 preparing final survey plats, engineering plans and legal documentation. 36 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 7 of 14 (1) Combined [Concurrent] Review. Preliminary subdivision review by the DRB may be 1 combined [conducted concurrently] with master plan review under Section ___ and site 2 plan or conditional use review under Article 14, as requested by the applicant, for one or 3 more phases of subdivision and development, if the application requirements and 4 standards for each type of review are considered and met. [Note: This reflects current 5 practice, but since the timing/effective date of respective permits and approvals may vary, this 6 may need some further clarification-may be better included under final subdivision review?]. 7 8 (2) Application Requirements. Within six (6) months of the date of a final sketch plan review, 9 unless otherwise extended by the DRB at the request of applicant, the applicant shall file 10 an application for preliminary subdivision review with the Administrative Officer. 11 12 (a) The application must be submitted on forms provided by the City, to include 13 information and materials listed in Appendix E, Submission Requirements, any 14 additional information requested by the DRB under Sketch Plan Review, and any 15 requested modifications or waivers under 15.01(C), including the stated justification 16 for this request. 17 18 (b) The Administrative Officer shall refer a complete application to the DRB for public 19 hearing and review [within thirty days of the date of receipt of all required forms, fees 20 and materials]. 21 22 (c) The Administrative Officer shall also refer the application to other city officials, 23 departments and advisory committees authorized to review applications under these 24 Regulations, in accordance with 24 VSA § 4464, and adopted city policies, standards 25 and procedures. 26 27 (d) An application for a subdivision that requires improvements within or encroaches upon 28 a mapped floodplain [or river corridor] shall also be referred to the Agency of Natural 29 Resources or its designee for review and comment under 24 VSA § 4424. 30 31 (3) Public Hearing. The DRB shall hold a warned public hearing on the application, as 32 required under 24 VSA §§ 4463 and 4464. 33 34 (a) The hearing notice shall also be sent, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing 35 date, to the clerk of an adjoining municipality, if the proposed subdivision is located 36 within 500 feet of a city boundary. 37 38 (b) The DRB may request additional information and testimony during the hearing 39 process as necessary to determine project compliance with these Regulations; and 40 may recess the hearing on an application pending the submission of additional 41 information. 42 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 8 of 14 (c) The applicant, developer or his/her duly authorized representative must attend all 1 DRB meetings on the application, including scheduled site visits, public meetings or 2 hearings which are continued to a specified date and time. The DRB may disapprove 3 the application if the applicant or his/her authorized representative fails to attend 4 required meetings, provide requested information within a reasonable time period, 5 or actively participate in the hearing process. 6 7 (4) Decision. Within forty-five (45) days after the close of the public hearing, the DRB shall 8 issue its written findings of fact and decision to approve, approve with modifications, or 9 disapprove the preliminary subdivision plat, supporting plans and documents. Failure to 10 act within this 45-day period shall constitute approval under 24 VSA § 4464(b), as deemed 11 by the court and certified by the City Clerk. The decision, including findings and 12 information for appeal, shall be sent by certified mail to the applicant. Copies of the 13 decision shall also be mailed to all parties who participated in the public hearing process. 14 When granting approval, the DRB shall state the conditions of approval, if any, with 15 respect to: 16 17 (a) Specific changes required to the preliminary plat, plans or supporting documents for 18 consideration under final subdivision review. 19 (b) The character and extent of any required improvements which, in the DRB’s opinion, 20 may be waived under Section 15.01(C). 21 (c) Initial allocations of available water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation 22 infrastructure capacity needed to serve the proposed subdivision and required system 23 connections or improvements. 24 (d) Proposed measures intended to mitigate the adverse impacts of land subdivision and 25 development on identified natural, cultural or scenic resources, and public facilities, 26 infrastructure and services. 27 (e) The timing and sequence of subsequent applications for phased or combined 28 subdivision and development review. 29 (f) Other municipal, state or federal permits or approvals to be obtained in advance of 30 applying for final subdivision review. 31 32 (5) Effect. Preliminary subdivision approval does not constitute final approval of a 33 subdivision plan or plat. It is intended only to guide the preparation of the final plat, 34 supporting plans and documents. A preliminary subdivision approval shall remain in 35 effect for twelve (12) months from the date of approval unless, upon written request of 36 the applicant, the expiration date is extended by the DRB for cause, for example due to an 37 appeal, permitting or seasonal site analysis delays. If an application for final subdivision 38 approval is not submitted by the expiration date, the DRB may require resubmission of 39 the preliminary plat, supporting plans and documents for preliminary subdivision review. 40 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 9 of 14 B. Final Subdivision Review. Final subdivision review by the DRB is required for all Minor 1 Subdivisions, Major Subdivisions, including Planned Unit Developments under Article __, and 2 Transect Zone Subdivisions. The purpose of final subdivision review is to determine whether the 3 final subdivision, and supporting plans, documents, infrastructure and facilities comply with these 4 Regulations, a previously approved master plan, and the conditions of preliminary subdivision 5 approval, prior to recording a subdivision plat, deeds, easements and other legal documents in 6 the land records of the City. 7 (1) Concurrent [Combined] Review. At the request of the applicant, final subdivision review 8 by the DRB may be conducted concurrently [combined] with site plan and conditional use 9 review under Article 14, if the application requirements and standards for each type of 10 review are considered and met. 11 12 (2) Application Requirements. Unless otherwise extended by the DRB, within six (6) months 13 of sketch plan approval (for Minor Subdivisions and Transect Zone Subdivisions), or 14 twelve (12) months of preliminary subdivision plan approval (for Major Subdivisions, 15 including Planned Unit Developments), the applicant shall file an application for final 16 subdivision review with the Administrative Officer. 17 18 (a) The application must be submitted on forms provided by the City, to include the 19 information and materials listed in Appendix E, Submission Requirements, any other 20 information requested by the DRB under sketch plan or preliminary subdivision 21 review, and any requested modifications or waivers under 15.01(C) or the conditions 22 of preliminary approval, including the stated justification for this request. 23 24 (b) The application must also be accompanied by a Certificate of Title showing the 25 ownership of all properties and easements to be dedicated or acquired by the City, 26 and supporting legal documents of conveyance, to be reviewed and approved by the 27 City Attorney. [Note: currently under 28 29 (c) The application for final subdivision review may be submitted in one or more phases, 30 as specified under preliminary subdivision or master plan approval, to include only 31 that phase of a subdivision for which final subdivision approval is requested. 32 33 (d) The Administrative Officer shall refer complete applications to the DRB for public 34 hearing and review [within thirty days of the date of receipt of all required forms, fees 35 and materials]. 36 37 (e) The Administrative Officer shall also refer the application to other city officials, 38 departments and advisory committees authorized to review applications under these 39 Regulations, in accordance with 24 VSA § 4464 and adopted city policies, standards 40 and procedures. 41 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 10 of 14 (6) Public Hearing. The DRB shall hold a warned public hearing on the application, as 1 required under 24 VSA §§ 4463 and 4464. 2 3 (a) The hearing notice shall also be sent, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing 4 date, to the clerk of an adjoining municipality, if the proposed subdivision is located 5 within 500 feet of a city boundary; and to all interested persons who participated in 6 the preliminary subdivision review hearing process. 7 8 (b) The DRB may request additional information and testimony during the hearing 9 process as necessary to determine project compliance with these Regulations; and 10 may recess the hearing on an application pending the submission of additional 11 information. 12 13 (c) The applicant, developer or his/her duly authorized representative must attend all 14 DRB meetings on the application, including scheduled site visits, public meetings or 15 hearings which are continued to a specified date and time. The DRB may disapprove 16 the application if the applicant or his/her authorized representative fails to attend 17 required meetings, provide requested information within a reasonable time period, 18 or actively participate in the hearing process. 19 20 (7) Decision. Within forty-five (45) days after the close of the public hearing, the DRB shall 21 issue its written findings of fact and decision to approve, approve with modifications, or 22 disapprove the final subdivision plat, supporting plans and documents. Failure to act 23 within this 45-day period shall constitute approval under 24 VSA § 4464(b), as deemed by 24 the court and certified by the City Clerk. The final decision, including findings, shall be sent 25 by certified mail to the applicant. Copies of the decision shall also be mailed to all parties 26 who participated in the public hearing process. 27 28 (a) Any conditions of final subdivision approval for performance bonding or other sureties, 29 phasing, construction or inspection schedules, or the timing of required improvements, 30 shall be specified in the written DRB decision, or in a separate Development Agreement 31 approved by the City Council under Section ___, as referenced in or attached to the 32 DRB decision. 33 34 (b) The DRB decision may also, as a condition of approval, specify final changes to the 35 content of the plat, supporting plans or documents that must be completed to the 36 satisfaction of the Administrative Officer before the plat is approved and endorsed by 37 the DRB for recording under 15.06. 38 39 (8) Effect. Final subdivision approval by the DRB remains in effect for 180 days from the date 40 of approval, unless extended by the Administrative Officer under 15.06. Final subdivision 41 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 11 of 14 approval shall expire unless, within this 180-day period the subdivision plat as approved 1 and endorsed by the DRB, is filed and recorded in the land records of the City. 2 3 (a) Final subdivision approval by the DRB shall not constitute or be evidence of 4 acceptance by the City of any streets, easements, water and sewer facilities, open 5 space or other public facilities and improvements shown on the subdivision plat or 6 associated plans. Final public acceptance of any proposed street, required facility or 7 improvement shall conform to procedures established by the City Council or other 8 City Commission or Board, and shall not take place until after the City Engineer has 9 determined that the required facility or improvement has been satisfactorily 10 completed, and associated sureties, other than that required to guarantee up to two 11 years of maintenance, have been released or closed. 12 15.06 Plat Recording [Currently under 15.09] 13 A. Recording Requirements. The final subdivision plat as approved and endorsed by the 14 DRB, or as otherwise deemed approved and certified by the City Clerk, must be recorded in the 15 land records of the City within 180 days of the date of approval. The Administrative Officer may 16 extend the date for filing by an additional 90 days, if final municipal or state permits or approvals 17 are still pending. If the plat is not recorded within this period, then subdivision approval shall be 18 void and the plat, supporting plans and documents must be resubmitted for final subdivision 19 approval under Section 15.05(B). 20 (1) The survey plat to be recorded in the land records shall comply with the requirements of 21 27 VSA Chapter 17 (Filing of Land Plats) and adopted city policies and fee schedules. 22 23 (2) In addition to the original mylar and required copies of the final plat, the applicant shall 24 provide the plat in a digital format acceptable to the City that contains all the information 25 on the final plat, including monument locations, lot lines, rights-of-way and easements, 26 public facilities and field surveyed and verified wetland, [river corridor] and floodplain 27 boundaries. 28 29 (3) Once recorded, the survey plat shall become part of the South Burlington Official Map. 30 B. DRB Endorsement or Clerk Certification 31 (1) No subdivision plat which requires DRB approval shall be filed or recorded in the Office 32 of the City Clerk until it has been approved by the DRB, as endorsed in writing on the plat. 33 DRB endorsement shall not take place until all required plats, plans, construction 34 drawings and supporting documents have been submitted to and reviewed by the 35 Administrative Officer for compliance with the conditions of final subdivision approval. 36 37 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 12 of 14 (2) The DRB endorsement shall state that “This plat has been approved by Resolution of the 1 Development Review of the City of South Burlington, Vermont.” It shall also specify the 2 date of DRB approval subject to any conditions or requirements of the resolution, and be 3 signed by the DRB Chair or Clerk. 4 5 (3) For any subdivision plat that was deemed approved for failure of the DRB to issue a 6 decision under 15.05(B)(7), the accompanying City Clerk’s Certificate must be attached 7 to the plat as filed and recorded. 8 9 (4) A plat that has been duly filed and recorded shall not expire. However, a plat that has 10 been recorded or subsequently revised without DRB approval and endorsement or Clerk 11 Certification shall be considered null and void, and the DRB [Administrative Officer] shall 12 institute proceedings to have the plat stricken from city records. 13 14 15.07 Subdivision Amendments [New, based in part on process used in other communities] 15 A. Requirement. Subdivision plats and plans that have received final subdivision approval 16 from the DRB many not be altered, modified, revised or amended without DRB approval. 17 Requested modifications or revisions to a previously approved subdivision plat, plans or conditions 18 of approval must be submitted as proposed subdivision amendments for DRB review under this 19 section. Before granting approval, the DRB must find that a proposed amendment is substantially 20 consistent with the subdivision as originally approved. If a proposed amendment involves 21 changes to the overall design or layout of the subdivision, the DRB may require that the 22 application be reviewed as a new subdivision under Section 15.05. 23 B. Minor Subdivision Amendments. A minor amendment, as initially determined by the 24 Administrative Officer, includes an amendment to a minor subdivision that does not result in the 25 creation of a major subdivision; or a subdivision amendment which does not result in a substantial 26 change, alteration, revision or modification of the subdivision plat, plans or conditions of final 27 subdivision approval. [Include a more detailed listing based on current practice?] A minor 28 subdivision amendment shall be administratively reviewed by the Administrative Officer, and 29 considered by the DRB for approval as follows: 30 (1) The Administrative Officer shall review the proposed minor amendment for compliance 31 with these Regulations and the conditions of final subdivision approval, prepare a draft 32 decision for DRB review, and have the proposed amendment and draft decision placed on 33 the consent agenda for the next available DRB meeting. 34 35 (2) The Administrative Officer shall provide written notification to the applicant, adjacent 36 property owners and other interested parties [including all parties who participated in 37 final subdivision review] of the proposed amendment, draft decision and the date of the 38 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 13 of 14 DRB meeting in which the proposed amendment and draft decision will be considered, at 1 least fifteen (15) [other?] days in advance of the meeting date. 2 3 (3) The DRB, at this meeting, may act to approve, approve with conditions, modify or deny 4 the draft decision on a proposed minor amendment; or, based on the information 5 provided, direct the applicant to apply for final subdivision review, as required for a major 6 subdivision amendment. 7 B. Major Amendment. Any proposed subdivision amendment that involves a substantial 8 change, alteration or revision to an approved subdivision plat, plan or condition of subdivision 9 approval, as initially determined by the Administrative Officer, shall require final subdivision 10 review by the DRB under Section 15.05(B). Notice of the proposed amendment and scheduled 11 public hearing shall be sent to all parties who participated in the previous hearing process. 12 C. Recording Requirements 13 (1) If a proposed amendment is submitted and approved by the DRB prior to the filing and 14 recording of a subdivision plat under Section 15.06, the amendment shall be incorporated 15 into the final plat before it is filed for recording. 16 17 (2) If the proposed amendment is approved after the original plat has been recorded, an 18 amended plat shall be prepared and recorded under Section 15.06 that carries a notation 19 that it supersedes the original plat as previous recorded, to include the date and recording 20 information for the original plat. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Initial PC Draft [2.1.19] Page 14 of 14 Master Plan Review 1 A. Purpose. The intent of master plan review by the DRB is to ensure the orderly, coordinated 2 subdivision and development of larger parcels of land within the City, in conformance with the 3 Comprehensive Plan, Official Map and Capital Improvement Program; and that the timing and 4 rate of land subdivision and development is consistent with the provision of supporting 5 infrastructure, facilities, services and amenities. Specifically, master plan review and approval are 6 intended to: 7 • Establish a comprehensive framework for the integrated and orderly subdivision and 8 development of parcels of land of five [other?] acres or more, projects to be developed over 9 extended periods of time, not to exceed ten [other?] years, and Planned Unit Development 10 under Article __. 11 12 • Serve as the long-term development or “regulating” plan for use by the developer, city 13 officials, property owners, and other interested parties to determine whether subsequent 14 development conforms to the approved master plan. 15 16 • Identify the overall impacts of a proposed subdivision and development through buildout, and 17 associated development parameters (buildout budgets), improvements and mitigation 18 measures necessary to accommodate planned development at full buildout. 19 20 • Provide the basis for phased subdivision and development, specifying the timing and sequence 21 of each phase in relation to existing and planned infrastructure capacity, identified 22 development parameters, required facilities, improvements and mitigation measures, and the 23 provision of public or other common open space and amenities. 24 25 • Define and clarify respective roles, responsibilities, interests and management structures for 26 project development under the master plan, and for ongoing management and maintenance 27 following project completion. 28 29 • Establish vested rights that provide predictability for the subdivider, developer(s) and City for 30 the duration of the project through buildout, under phasing and construction schedules and 31 development agreements approved by the City. 32 B. Applicability. For any application involving subdivision for which Master Plan approval is 33 elected or required, the applicant must follow the procedures outlined in this Section. The 34 applicant may elect to apply concurrently for preliminary subdivision review under Section 35 15.05(A) for one or more phases of a proposed subdivision. 36 37 URBAN STOREFRONT Building Typologies Intended as commercial or mixed use for higher density non-transect areas with higher traffic volumes.

Background: Last winter the Planning Commission reviewed a concept for how to merge the three (3) separate sets of street standards that presently exist in the Land Development Regulations (City Center Street Types, SEQ street standards, and city street standards). The concept included a large spreadsheet that applied current practices – using the City Center Street Types as the base – and adding citywide considerations and categorizations. Recent Work: Staff is working in consultation with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee to refine the draft streets, applying experience from use of the three sets, national guidelines on best practices, and city goals for multi-modal transportation. Enclosed is the latest draft of the street types spreadsheet. We have attempted to reduce the total number of street types while providing some limited flexibility within each type to be able to account for different circumstances and adjacent land uses. The draft is a work in progress. The Bike Ped Committee will be reviewing these again at their March meeting, but were comfortable with staff sharing an update with the Commission in the intervening time. Key features: The street types included in this draft attempt the reflect both best practices and South Burlington community goals for being an pedestrian & bicycle oriented community, environmental and fiscal sustainability, and efficiency of space. These standards would primarily apply to new streets. For existing streets, the standards could apply in a couple of different ways: - As a guide for City or State-initiated improvement projects - As standards for required streetscape improvements (ie, from the curb to the edge of the front yard) for private sector work Next steps: The following actions will take place over the next month: - Develop standards for small private streets serving 5 or fewer homes - Include landscaping / street furniture standards - Review and revise with the Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee - Evaluate street types against existing streets (newer and older) in the city and provide examples of each - Assign street types to different Planned Unit Development types & zoning districts - Prepare language for interpretation of standards for the DRB - Return to Planning Commission with draft - Provide to consultants for integration into LDRs & addition of graphic elements Questions for the Commission this week: Principally, this is a status report. However, this would also be a great time for Commissioners to provide any feedback on the following: - Missing street types - Overall direction you’d like to provide In addition, in developing these standards the relationship between buildings are street came up multiple times. As an example, the city has in the past dealt with collector roads differently over time. At some points, the city has sought to have buildings fronting directly onto these streets (example: South Village, Airport Parkway, Cider Mill II, O’Brien Home Farm). At other times the City has sought to have all buildings face away from the collector street and instead have them on site streets (examples: Sift Street Extension, Songbird Road, Eldridge St, Cider Mill I). The proposed street types could allow for either/or, but this would be a good follow-on discussion later in the PUD process. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 A B C D E F G H I J 11.07 Street typologies Street Type Pedestrian Pass (Mews)Neighborhood Street - Narrow Support Street Industrial Access Road Category Local Local Local - Rural Local - Urban Local Collector - Rural Collector - Urban Collector Off-Street Bike/Ped Facilities Required Facility Type N/A Sidewalk Sidewalk Recreation Path Sidewalk & Recreation Path Per Official Map Facility Sides N/A 1 Side Required 1 Side Req'd 2 Sides Req'd 2 Sides Required 1 side required 1 side each type N/A Facility Width N/A 5’ Min 6' Min-16' Max 10’ Min 5' Min sidewalk, 10' Min rec path N/A Alternatives Greenbelt / Furniture Zone Minimum Width (each side)N/A 6’ min (may be outside sidewalk where integrated) 5’ Min 5’ Min B Landscaping On-street bike/ped Facilities Min required None Share the Road Shared the road 4' bike Lanes Rec Path one side - 10' Min Options Sidewalk may be integrated with street on dead-end streets Parking Requirements N/A Not Permitted Parallel Parallel Sides of Street N/A N/A Two sides required One side maximum C (Parking Ln Width)N/A N/A 8’8' Vehicular Lanes # Through Lanes N/A 2 Lanes 1 or 2 Lanes 2 Lanes Travel Ln Width N/A 9’ Min, 10’ Max 9’ Min, 11’ Max 11’ Min, 13’ Max E (Pavement Width)10’ Min, 24’ Max 20’ Min, 22’ Max 20’ Min, 34’ Max 22’ Min F (ROW Width)N/A 40' Min 40’ Min 50' Min 60’ Min 50’ Min 60' Min 60’ Min Design Features Design Speed N/A 25 mph 30 mph 25 to 30 mph Design Vehicle Pedestrian P (Passenger Car)SU-30 (Single Unit Truck)WB-50 (Semi-trailer) Curbing*No Curb Vertical Faced Curb Not required Vertical Faced Curb Vertical Faced Curb Not Specified Curb Radius N/A 5’ Min, 15’ Max 5’ Min, 15’ Max 15’ Min, 30’ Max One-Way Traffic N/A Permitted Permitted Not Permitted Center/Left Turn In N/A Not Permitted Permitted Permitted Median N/A Permitted only as Traffic Control Device or Gateway Permitted only as Refuge Island Permitted Transit Facilities N/A Discouraged Encouraged Encouraged Ownership Private Public or Private Public or Private Public or Private Not Permitted Not Permitted Permitted only as Traffic Control Device or Gateway Encouraged Public or Private Not Permitted Not Permitted Permitted only as Traffic Control Device or Gateway Discouraged Public or Private 2 Lanes 9’ Min, 10’ Max 28’ Min, 36’ Max 25 mph DL-23 (Delivery Vehicle) 5’ Min, 15’ Max 25 mph DL-23 (Delivery Vehicle) Vertical Faced Curb 5’ Min, 15’ Max One side maximum 8’ 2 Lanes 9’ Min, 10’ Max 20’ Min, 26' Max Bicycle Boulevard 6’ Min Not Permitted N/A N/A Neighborhood Street Sidewalk 5’ Min 6’ Min Share the Road Parallel DRAFT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 A 11.07 Street typologies Street Type Category Off-Street Bike/Ped Facilities Greenbelt / Furniture Zone On-street bike/ped Facilities Parking Vehicular Lanes E (Pavement Width) F (ROW Width) Design Features Transit Facilities Ownership K L M N Rural Connector Avenue Path Alley Collector/Arterial Arterial Per Official Map Rec path on one side;

The Pole has the following coordinates: latitude 44.471361°N and longitude 73.189138°W. AT&T refers to this project as RCTB_00090_0798 (the "Property" or "Site"). AT&T received authorization from 89-2 Realty Co LLC to proceed with permitting the Project. See Exhibit C. Pursuant to 30 V.S.A. § 248a, this letter is intended to provide 60 days advance notice to the City Council of South Burlington and the South Burlington Planning Commission (the "Town"), Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (the "RPC"), and adjoining landowners, that AT&T intends to submit a petition to the Vermont Public Utility Commission ("PUC") for approval to install the Facility at the Site. Attached as Exhibit A to this notice is a statement that itemizes the rights and opportunities available to the Town and RPC pursuant to §§ 248a(c)(2), (e)(2), (m), (n) and (o). This letter is also being filed electronically with the PUC via its ePUC system, which will provide notice to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, the Vermont Department of Public Service, the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (collectively, the "Advance Notice Parties"). This notice provides a description of the Facility and its anticipated impacts. This notice also describes the process for PUC review of petitions submitted under § 248a, in addition to the rights of the regional and local planning commissions, municipal legislative bodies, and adjoining landowners to comment on the Project. AT&T's petition will be filed pursuant to the PUC's "Sixth Amended Order implementing standards and procedures for issuance of a certificate of public good for communications facilities pursuant to 30 V.S.A. § 248a," dated September 21, 2018 (the "Procedures Order"). The Procedures Order, as well as more information concerning review of communications projects under 30 V.S.A. § 248a, is available at the PUC's office in Montpelier and on its website: http://puc.vermont.gov/.

Project Description AT&T is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide multiple technologies in Vermont, including long-term evolution wireless broadband internet service. AT&T is improving and enhancing its voice and data network in the state through deployment of technology generally known as "small cells," used to address capacity issues at specific locations. Small cell technology is especially helpful to remedy connectivity issues experienced in more heavily populated areas or during certain high network traffic periods. The Project will improve capacity in and around Williston Road in South Burlington and the surrounding areas. The proposed Facility will consist of the following components: A. Replacement of the existing 38' aboveground level ("AGL") utility pole with a new 45' utility pole; B. Install one (1) canister antenna, measuring approximately 36" in height and 10", to be mounted on top of the Pole; C. Install an equipment cabinet, measuring approximately 32" in height and 18" in width, to be mounted on the Pole at a height of 8' 6"AGL; and D. Ancillary improvements other appurtenances located within and around the base of the New Tower to be used in connection with operation of antenna and equipment installations. Each feature of the Facility is described and depicted in more detail on the Site Plan attached as Exhibit B. The Project will result in less than 10,000 square feet of permanent earth disturbance and the width of the Pole will not be more than 20' wider than the existing pole and will have an overall height less than 200' AGL. Consequently, the Project qualifies as a "Project of Limited Size and Scope," as defined in 30 V.S.A. § 248a(b)(3). In selecting to undertake the Project, AT&T has analyzed whether there are existing structures in the area to be served that could be used for the antennas and equipment without extending the existing pole. For various reasons, none of the existing telecommunications facilities in the area will allow AT&T to meet its objectives of meeting its customers' needs and planning for future growth of the network in the area to be served by the Project. The existing pole itself must be extended to provide space for AT&T's antenna and equipment. III. Process for Review of Communications Facilities under 30 V.S.A. § 248a Pursuant to 30 V.S.A. § 248a, the PUC may grant a certificate of public good for construction or installation of one or more telecommunications facilities that are to be interconnected with other telecommunications facilities proposed or already in existence if, after review of the project, the PUC finds that the facilities will promote the general good of the state consistent with the policies relating to providing improved telecommunications technology to all Vermonters articulated by 30 V.S.A. § 202c(b).

L Business Sense•Legal Ingenuity AT&T C-RAN Williston Road, South Burlington, Vermont (RCTB_00090_0798) February 19, 2019 Page 3 Among the criteria considered by the PUC in evaluating each facility under 30 V.S.A. § 248a is whether the project is consistent with the recommendations of selectboards, municipal planning commissions and regional planning commissions. In turn, those recommendations can be based on town / regional plans, as well as telecommunications provisions in local zoning bylaws or a stand-alone ordinance. 30 V.S.A. § 248a(c)(2). Based on a review of the relevant municipal and regional planning documents, AT&T believes that the Project is consistent with the applicable substantive criteria. The South Burlington Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2016 ("Plan"), recognizes that affordable and convenient access to state-of the-art telecommunication services is an important component of the City's quality of life, economic development strategies and educations opportunities, (Plan at 2-75). The Plan balances the need to upgrade telecommunications facilities with the potential impacts these facilities have on open spaces, wetlands and wildlife. In particular, the Plan states that "[t]he siting of telecommunications infrastructure should consider issues of aesthetics, safety and efficiency. The use of existing structures, sites and utility corridors is preferred over new development." (Plan at 2-75.) To that end, the Project furthers these goals and objectives insofar as the Facility will enhance the availability and quality of wireless coverage in the City. The use of a slightly taller utility pole within the existing parking lot as the support structure also achieves the Plan's goal of locating additional telecommunications infrastructure within an existing utility easement on a replace pole in order to minimize the aesthetic and environmental impact of such new development. The Project is consistent with the Chittenden County ECOS Plan (the "Regional Plan"), adopted June 19, 2013 and amended May 18, 2016. The Regional Plan recognizes that telecommunication services provide important benefits to Chittenden County's residents, visitors, and businesses, and identifies a goal of "[p]romoting the use of technology in economic development, including access to high-speed telecommunications." Regional Plan at 144-145. The Regional Plan notes that "The weakest part of the County's utilities and telecommunications system is the quality and costs of telecommunications, in particular cell phone service." Regional Plan at 141. The Project will directly advance these goals by increasing public access to reliable, high quality broadband internet service without adversely impacting the County's scenic and environmental qualities. One of the goals outlined in the Regional Plan is to promote the use of technology in economic development; this includes ensuring access to high-speed telecommunications. Regional Plan at 135. The Project will provide enhanced wireless service access on and along Williston Road in South Burlington. The Project will promote the general good of the state, consistent with 30 V.S.A. § 202c(b), insofar as the Project will improve its wireless service capacity in South Burlington. The small cell Facility will improve connectivity for AT&T users, and "densify" AT&T's network service in and along Williston Road by bringing it "closer" to its users. The Project also allows AT&T to prepare for implementation of newer technologies—including 5G capabilities, "smart cities" and new developments in the Internet of Things ("IoT"). VI.
