6. The Board only reviewed and approves exterior site and building elevation plans. Submitted
plans wholly related to the interior of the building are neither approved nor relevant to this
decision.
7. The project area is at the south end of the airport property immediately adjacent to the recently
approved Beta manufacturing facility on Davinci Drive. The project involves lands within the
airport PUD as well as within the Beta Master Plan area. Therefore the project is being
considered in two parts.
8. The subject application is a site plan for the portion of the project located within the airport PUD.
The Board has also approved master plan application #MP-24-02 for the portion of the project
within the Beta Master Plan Area.
9. The proposed changes consist of installation of a significant amount of doors and windows on
the existing building façade, removal of a smaller number of doors, interior renovation, and
modifications to the site access and circulation at the south end of the site.

Airport Industrial Zoning District
The purpose of the Airport Industrial Zoning District is to provide sufficient land area for Airport-
related uses, support facilities, and commercial activities that may be incompatible with general
residential or commercial uses. The standards and regulations for the Airport Industrial District
recognize the importance of these facilities and uses to the operation of the City and regional
economies while providing appropriate setbacks and buffering to offset their impacts on adjacent
land uses.
Applications involving new or expanded buildings within the AIR-I district must comply with the
regulations pertaining to airport approach cones. No building construction or expansion is
proposed.
B) SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
14.06 General Review Standards
A. Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site.
(1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from
structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and
adequate parking areas.
The Board finds the applicant is proposing to improve the street presence of the structure by
adding glazing to the street facing and side facades. Pedestrian movement and adequacy of
planting are discussed elsewhere in this document.
#SP-24-20

3 of 11
(2) Parking:
(a) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings. Any side of a building
facing a public street shall be considered a front side of a building for the purposes of this
subsection.
(b) The Development Review Board may approve parking between a public street and one
or more buildings if the Board finds that one or more of the following criteria are met.
The Board shall approve only the minimum necessary to overcome the conditions
below.
(viii) The building, or a portion thereof, being served by the parking area is
contained within the Security Identification Display Area of a publicly-owned and
operated airport.
The Board finds the front side of this building to be Davinci Drive, since the City has an
irrevocable offer of dedication for the street.
The applicant is proposing to reconfigure and expand existing parking areas to the front of
the adjacent hangar buildings to the west. Those buildings are not the subject of this
application, though they and the subject buildings are within the airport security fence.
The Board finds the parking is exempt from the requirement to be located to the rear of
side of buildings under (b)(viii) above.
(3) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and
scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or anticipated adjoining
buildings.
No changes to the height of the building are proposed. The applicant is proposing to add a
canopy at the new main entrance to the building, but the canopy will be contained within the
width and height of the existing building.
B. Relationship of Structures and Site to Adjoining Area.
(1) The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common
materials and architectural characteristics (e.g., rhythm, color, texture, form or detailing),
landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions between
buildings of different architectural styles.
Review of buffering and screening is included in 14.07 below. The applicant is proposing to
paint the building but otherwise not to modify the materials of the building.
(2) Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to
existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed
structures.
The Board finds the proposed modifications to the structure to be sufficiently related to the
setting given the magnitude of the modifications.
(3) To accomplish (1) and (2), the DRB shall consider:
(a) Pattern and Rhythm. Update or maintain or extend the overall pattern of
development defined by the planned or existing street grid, block configurations, position
and orientation of principal buildings, prevalence of attached or detached building types.
No modifications affecting compliance with this standard are proposed.
(b) Architectural Features. Respond to recurring or representative architectural
features that define neighborhood character, without adhering to a particular architectural
style.
#SP-24-20
4
4 of 11
The proposed modification to architectural features include addition of an entrance canopy
and glazing.
(c) Privacy. Limit impacts and intrusions to privacy on adjoining properties, including
side and back yard areas through context sensitive design.
No changes to privacy of adjoining properties are proposed.
C. Site Amenity Requirement
This criterion is only applicable to expansions and new residential conversions.
14.07 Specific Review Standards
In all Zoning Districts and the City Center Form Based Codes District, the following standards
shall apply:
A. Environmental Protection Standards. All proposed development shall be subject to the
applicable requirements of Article 12, Environmental Protection Standards.
There are no impacts to resources considered in Article 12 proposed as part of this project.
B. Site Design Features. All proposed development shall comply with standards for the
placement of buildings, parking and loading areas, landscaping and screening, open space,
stormwater, lighting, and other applicable standards related to site design pursuant to
these Land Development Regulations.
These standards are contained in Article 13 and are discussed below.
C. Access and Circulation. All proposed development shall comply with site access and
circulation standards of Section 15.A.14.
The applicant is proposing to modify the access and circulation in front of the existing
hangars to the west of the subject building by formalizing one parking area, expanding
another, and realigning and widening the driveway at the east end of the parking areas. They
are not proposing modifications to the access and circulation in front of the subject building.
Relevant standards of 15.A.14 include those pertaining to safe pedestrian access and to
minimizing curb cuts by providing shared vehicular access. Davinci Drive is not currently a
public street, but there is an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City therefore it should be
treated as a public street for the purposes of layout and design.
The applicant has provided turning movement plans demonstrating that the proposed
pavement is minimized near the entrance to Davinci Drive. Modifications to the proposed
pedestrian circulation are required to support pedestrian safety.
D. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) [reserved]
E. Building Form. Development within the City Center Form Based Code District, the Urban
Design Overlay District, and other districts with supplemental building form standards shall
adhere to the standards contained therein.
Not applicable.
F. Streetscape Improvements. A proposed new construction or extension/expansion of an
existing structure exceeding the thresholds listed in either (a) Section 14.09(B) or (b) Section
8.11(D) within the City Center Form Based Code, or Section 3.11(D) in all other zoning
districts, shall be required to upgrade adjacent sidewalks, greenbelts, and related street
furniture (trees, benches, etc.) to the standards contained within the applicable Street Type
and Building Envelope Standard. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit
#SP-24-20
5
5 of 11
requirements for additional upgrades as necessary to meet the requirements of these
Regulations.
The Board finds no upgrades to be required.
G. Access to Abutting Properties. The reservation of land may be required on any lot for
provision of access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to
reduce curb cuts onto an arterial or collector street, to provide additional access for
emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area.
13.02F requires driveway connections between adjacent commercial lots. The airport is
generally one large lot. Driveway connections between buildings are generally provided
and not reduced by this application.
H. Utility Services. Electric, telephone and other wire-served utility lines and service
connections shall be underground insofar as feasible and subject to state public utilities
regulations. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have
a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site. Standards of Section
15.A.18, Infrastructure, Utilities, and Services, shall also be met.
The property is currently served by overhead utilities. The applicant testified that the utilities
are underground from the utility pole near Davinci Drive to the building, and that it will remain
so. The Board finds the applicant must modify the plans to update the line type on the plans to
reflect that the utilities are underground.
The South Burlington Director of Public Works reviewed the plans on 5/23/2024 and offers
the following comments:
• The applicant will need to work with the wastewater superintendent to confirm that the
project has a sufficient wastewater allocation for the change in use.
• The wastewater pump station will remain privately owned.
• Does the property have an existing oil / water / grease / grit separator? Will the change
in use require that one be installed?
• Are any water (or other) easements proposed to be transferred to the City?
The Board finds the applicant must provide a wastewater allocation calculation, and application
for allocation, if additional flows are required, prior to issuance of a zoning permit. The
applicant is proposing to rehabilitate the existing oil/water separator. There are no easement
proposed to be transferred to the City.
I. Disposal of Wastes. All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including
compliance with any recycling, composting, or other requirements, shall be accessible,
secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not
escape the enclosure(s). Small receptacles intended for use by households or the public (ie,
non-dumpster, non-large drum) shall not be required to be fenced or screened.
There are no proposed changes to the location or screening of the existing dumpster, which
meets this criterion.
C) SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS
13.02 Off Street Parking and Loading
G. Design requirements for Parking Spaces, Parking Aisles, Lighting and Landscaping
(1) Design requirements for off-street parking and loading are provided in Table 13-2 and
Figure 13-1, Section 13.04, Landscaping , Screening, and Street Trees, and Section 13.07,
#SP-24-20
6
6 of 11
Exterior Lighting. All paved parking spaces shall be striped or otherwise physically
delimited.
Sections 13.04 and 13.07 are discussed below. Parking is proposed to meet the required
dimensional standards.
(2) The location of parking areas and loading docks shall prevent conflicts with entering
and existing 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.
The Board finds this criterion met.
(3) Provision shall be made for access by police, fire and emergency vehicles.
The Fire Marshal reviewed the project on 5/22/2024 and indicated there were no comments
pertaining to the Development Review Board’s review of the project.
(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.
The applicant is proposing an on-grade striped pathway from the parking area to the
building. After discussion with the applicant, the Board finds the applicant shall modify the
plans to relocate the existing airport security fence that runs perpendicular to the face of
the building and northwest of it to the northwest and provide a 5-ft wide concrete sidewalk
as shown on sheet MD-01 between the back of the existing light fixtures and the relocated
fence in lieu of a integrated striped pedestrian walkway within the parking and driveway
areas. The face of the sidewalk shall be separated from the edge of pavement by at least 5-
ft.
The plans shall further be modified so that the striped pedestrian walkway across the bus
drop off area is located northwest of the existing security gate and fence to remain. West
of the bus drop off area, the applicant shall provide a 5-ft wide concrete sidewalk to Davinci
Drive, where there shall be a striped crosswalk using pavement markings as specified in
the Department of Public Works Specifications.
The Board finds the above-described modifications shall be subject to review and approval
of the administrative officer and shall result in this criterion being met.
(5) Bicycle parking or storage facility.
Bicycle parking is discussed under 13.03 below.
(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.
The applicant is proposing a bioretention area between the two sections of parking lot.
Infiltration is not proposed. Stormwater management is discussed under 13.05 below.
13.03 Bicycle Parking and Storage.
The building is 34,445 sf and is proposed to be used by 12 employees and 100 students. One short term
space is required for each 20 students of planned capacity, or five spaces. The applicant testified that
they are proposing 8 short term and 2 long term spaces. The required short term spaces are shown on
the enlarged entrance plan, sheet SP-02.

13.04 Landscaping, Screening & Street Trees
B. Except for parking spaces accessory to a one-family or two-family dwelling, all off-street
parking areas subject to review by the Development Review Board shall be curbed and
landscaped with appropriate trees, shrubs, and other plants including ground covers, as
approved by the Development Review Board. Sections of recessed curb are permitted if their
purpose is to allow stormwater runoff from the adjacent parking area to reach stormwater
collection, treatment and management infrastructure. The Development Review Board shall
consider the adequacy of the proposed landscaping to assure the establishment of a safe,
convenient, and attractive parking area and the privacy and comfort of abutting properties.
The applicant is proposing to reconfigure and add parking so that there are 68 parking spaces
west of the building. The Board finds these standards apply to those 68 spaces.
(1) All off-street parking areas shall be landscaped around the perimeter of the lot
with trees, shrubs and other plants. Perimeter planting shall be set back from the curb
sufficiently to allow for snow storage. The purpose of perimeter planting shall be to
mitigate the view of the parking lot from the public way and from adjacent uses and
properties, and to provide shade and canopy for the parking lot. In some situations it may
be necessary, both for surveillance purposes and for the perception of safety, to install the
size and type of plants that leave visual access between the parking lot to the public way
or other pedestrian areas.
The applicant has provided a planting plan which includes only shrubs which reach a
mature height of 2.5 feet, and grasses.
During the hearing the applicant indicated that the parking area is below the existing
roadway. The plans indicate the parking area is approximately 4-feet below the existing
roadway. The Board finds the grade difference to be sufficient to mitigate headlights from
the adjoining roadway. The purpose of providing shade and canopy for the parking lot is
not met.
The applicant provided an excerpt of a letter from USDA testifying that shade trees are no
recommended for the purpose of protecting aircraft from wildlife.
The Board finds this criterion met to the extent possible.
(2) In all parking areas containing twenty-eight (28) or more contiguous parking
spaces and/or in parking lots with more than a single circulation lane, at least ten percent
(10%) of the interior of the parking lot shall be landscaped islands planted with trees,
shrubs and other plants. Such requirement shall not apply to structured parking or below-
ground parking.
10% interior parking lot landscape islands are provided.
(3) All interior and perimeter planting shall be protected by curbing unless specifically
designed as a collection and treatment area for management of stormwater runoff as per
13.04(B)(5)(c) below. Interior planted islands shall have a minimum dimension of six (6)
feet on any one side, and shall have a minimum square footage of sixty (60) square feet.
Large islands are encouraged.
The applicant has provided some curbing. The Board finds the applicant must add curbing
along the perimeter of the interior landscaped parking lot islands.
(4) Landscaping Requirements
(a) Landscaping shall include a variety of trees, shrubs, grasses and ground covers. All
planting shall be species hardy for the region and, if located in areas receiving road
runoff or salt spray, shall be salt-tolerant.
#SP-24-20
8
8 of 11
The applicant has provided one variety of shrub and two varieties of grasses.
(b) At least one (1) major deciduous shade tree shall be provided within or near the
perimeter of each parking area, for every five (5) parking spaces. The trees shall be
placed evenly throughout the parking lot to provide shade and reduce glare. Trees
shall be placed a minimum of thirty (30) feet apart.
(c) Trees shall have a caliper equal to or greater than two and one-half (2 ½) inches
when measured on the tree stem, six (6) inches above the root ball.
(d) Where more than ten (10) trees are installed, a mix of species is encouraged; the
species should be grouped or located in a manner that reinforces the design and
layout of the parking lot and the site.
No trees are provided
(e) Within the City Center FBC District, landscaping required within this section shall
not count towards meeting minimum landscape budget requirements as detailed in
Section 13.04(G).
Not applicable.
(7) Snow storage areas must be specified and located in an area that minimizes the
potential for erosion and contaminated runoff into any adjacent or nearby surface waters.
The Board finds the provided snow storage plan to be acceptable.
C. Screening or buffering. The Development Review Board will require landscaping, fencing,
land shaping and/or screening along property boundaries (lot lines) whenever it determines that
a) two adjacent sites are dissimilar and should be screened or buffered from each other, or b) a
property’s appearance should be improved, which property is covered excessively with pavement
or structures or is otherwise insufficiently landscaped, or c) a commercial, industrial, and multi-
family use abuts a residential district or institutional use, or (d) a parking or loading area is
adjacent to or visible from a public street.
(1) There shall be sufficient landscaping, walls, or fencing of sufficient height (minimum of three
(3) feet) and opacity to effectively screen the parking or loading area year-round from adjacent
public streets.
(2) Screening of a parking or loading shall be provided where headlights from vehicles on site may
be visible and project parallel to a public street.
The Board finds the elevation of the parking area relative to Davinici Drive to adequately meet
these two criteria.
(3) There shall be sufficient landscaping, walls, or fencing of sufficient height and opacity to
effectively screen outdoor storage areas, refuse, recycling, and compost collection (excluding
on-site composting) areas.
The Board finds no additional outdoor storage screening to be necessary.
(4) The landscaping shall be designed to minimize erosion and stormwater runoff, and to protect
neighboring residential properties from the view of uses and parking areas on the site. The
landscaping shall be of such type, height, and spacing, as in the judgment of the Development
Review Board, will effectively screen the activities on the lot from the view of persons standing
on adjoining properties. The plan and specifications for such planting shall be filed with the
approved plan for the use of the lot
The Board finds this criterion has been taken into consideration in the design of the parking lot
landscaping.
G(3) Landscaping Budget Requirements.
#SP-24-20
9
9 of 11
There is no minimum landscaping budget because no building addition is proposed.
I. Landscape Maintenance.
Maintenance and responsibility. All planting shown on an approved site plan shall be maintained
by the property owner in a vigorous growing condition throughout the duration of the use. Plants
not so maintained shall be replaced with new plants at the beginning of the next immediately
following growing season. Trees with a caliper of less than 5” may be replaced on an inch-by-inch
basis with trees of the same genus of at least 2” caliper each. No permit shall be required for such
replacements provided they conform to the approved site plan. Replacement of trees with a caliper
of greater than 5” shall require an amendment to the site plan.
The applicant is proposing to remove four (4) 8 to 10-inch caliper trees from the front of the building.
The Board finds that while the proposed plantings do not represent a replacement for the removed
trees, the proposed landscaping plan is acceptable.
13.05 Stormwater Management
Stormwater standards apply when one-half acre or more of impervious surface exists or is proposed to
exist, and where 5,000 sf of impervious is created or reconstructed. The City Stormwater Section
reviewed the plans on June 11, 2024 and offered extensive comments, which the applicant addressed in
a revised submission on June 18, 2024.
13.06 Airport Approach Cones
All applications for development within the Airport Approach Cones, as shown on the Overlay
Districts Map, involving new or expanded buildings or structures shall provide documentation
that either a Notice to the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is not required, or an application for a
Determination of No Hazard has been submitted to the FAA. Where an application for
Determination of No Hazard has been submitted, no zoning permit for construction shall be
issued without demonstration of receipt of an issued Determination.
No new or expanded buildings or structures are involved therefore this criterion is not applicable.
13.07 Exterior Lighting
Lighting requirements are summarized as follows.
(1) Fixtures must be downcast and shielded
(2) Illumination must be evenly distributed
(3) Fixtures must be placed to minimize lighting from becoming a nuisance
(4) Poles shall be rustproof metal, cast iron, fiberglass, finished wood or similar
structural material, with a decorative surface or finish
(5) Poles & building mounted fixtures may be no higher than 30-ft
(6) Poles must be located in safe locations
Specific requirements for maximum illumination levels are included in Appendix A and are limited
to 3-foot candles average at ground level. The applicant has provided a photometric drawing but
has not indicated an average illumination level, though the Board considers it is likely to be below
3 foot candles. Maximum illumination levels are limited to 9 footcandles.
#SP-24-20

10 of 11
13.11 Fences
The applicant has proposed to relocate 75 ft of airport security fence as part of this project. The
Board considers airport security fence exempt from local regulation under 24 VSA 4413.
13.12 Utility Cabinets and Similar Structures
B. Specific Standards for Utility Cabinets and Similar Structures.
(4) There shall be sufficient landscaping or fencing of sufficient height and opacity to screen
effectively the facility year-round from streets and abutting unaffiliated properties.
The applicant has provided screening for the proposed transformer and generator at the front of the
building, though they have indicated there is a possibility that they will not need a generator. The
Board finds removal of the generator from the approved plan may be permitted as a field
change.
(5) The location of the facility shall be shown on all relevant site plans.
(6) Utility cabinets and similar structures shall be located a minimum of five (5) feet from all
existing or planned public roads or rights-of-way.
The Board finds criterion #5 and 6 to be met.
