[3:42] North boar Street townhomes File number 202600103.

[3:48] The subject hearing involves a request to rezone approximately

[3:51] 22.1859 acres from Orris, a single family residential

[3:55] and minimum 8,000 square foot lots and C Three general

[3:59] commercial to p, d, r d d plan development Revised revised

[4:05] residential development District.

[4:06] The subject property is located on North Fourth Street

[4:09] between West Airline Avenue.

[4:11] And Rincon Avenue and is owned by legacy homebuilders North

[4:14] Carolina LLC.

[4:15] I'd like to recognize Matty Grosso

[4:17] your planner for staff's presentation

[4:20] Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[4:22] Members of the commission.

[4:23] It's good to be here with you all tonight As was noted,

[4:27] this First item is a request from A and C 3 2

[4:32] a plan development zoning.

[4:34] The subject property is located on North Boise

[4:37] rI between West Airline Avenue and Rincon Avenue.

[4:42] The adjoining property is our combination

[4:45] of commercial zoned C three and CBD,

[4:49] which is our central business district

[4:52] and then also offers an RMF, which

[4:55] is residential single family and residential multi family Quick

[5:01] aerial of the property.

[5:03] As of present it is currently undeveloped and remains vacant

[5:08] For a quick overview if you can see my mouse north 321

[5:13] is just here on the screen We have West Airline Avenue

[5:17] and then to the south of the screen is West Main Avenue,

[5:20] and that's our downtown Gastonia So again,

[5:26] the request is to a plan development utilizing revised

[5:29] residential Development District to facilitate a single fan

[5:33] blades attached development This development would include

[5:36] 38 rear loaded townhomes which front on to North Buoy Street

[5:42] We did receive this site plan from the applicant, which

[5:45] has gone through review with city staff.

[5:47] It is in compliance with the Udall

[5:50] As you can see all of the townhomes

[5:53] do front on to North Boyd Street and are rear loaded

[5:56] served by a private rear alley which

[5:58] does meet our R2-d2 standards The primary access is off

[6:04] of North Bay Street which is located centrally on the site

[6:09] and there's also a secondary access directly

[6:12] to the private alley from Rincon avenue

[6:15] and also West Airline Avenue A standard practice for all

[6:20] of our major subdivisions they are required to do right of way

[6:24] dedication and in this case the applicant is dedicating right

[6:28] of way on the project side along North Voice Street

[6:31] to accommodate the city's Standard Street.

[6:34] So this one would have a five foot sidewalk five foot planting

[6:37] strip, curbing gutter and formalized on street parking

[6:44] Some additional site plan elements to go through quickly

[6:48] because this property does abut against RCC

[6:51] zoning, single family residential zoning.

[6:53] They are required to do a type C buffer.

[6:56] In this case, they've chosen to do a reduced 15 foot type C

[6:59] buffer with an opaque fence You may

[7:05] notice there's not a stormwater pond on the site plan.

[7:08] They have elected to do underground stormwater

[7:10] detention, which is located in the rear alley They have

[7:16] committed to do a new pedestrian crosswalks

[7:19] So that would include one on West Airline Avenue

[7:22] and then two crosswalks on Rincon Avenue They are providing

[7:28] 25 on street public parking spaces We did

[7:36] receive elevation from the applicant, which

[7:38] show a two story townhome product

[7:41] and we did go through quite a bit of work

[7:43] with the applicant to get these elevations which I think show

[7:47] a lot of really nice architectural features

[7:50] They did provide a mix of materials on the front facade.

[7:54] They do feature walk up Stoops and covert entry

[7:56] over the front door They are showing roof enhancements.

[8:01] So a second story or a roof shed dormer

[8:04] and then they are step, step down unit

[8:06] so as the road slopes the units will step down with elevation.

[8:14] Same elevations just different colored versions

[8:21] And then we don't always receive floor plans from the applicant.

[8:24] But in this case, we did, which essentially just shows

[8:27] the interior of the building.

[8:29] And I actually this bottom portion

[8:32] is nice to show you all how that floor plan actually

[8:35] fits on the lot itself As always,

[8:41] we have agreed upon conditions with the applicant First

[8:44] condition just states that the site plan will include

[8:47] a maximum of 38 single fan blades attached townhomes

[8:52] Conditions three is regarding building materials

[8:55] which will consist of a combination of brick,

[8:57] stone, and any other variation of fiber, cement siding which

[9:01] is hardy board siding They did commit to the end units,

[9:05] including enhanced side elevations too.

[9:08] That may be additional windows mixed materials or roof

[9:10] overhangs as I noted earlier, they

[9:14] are agreeing to do the pedestrian crosswalks,

[9:17] including ADA compliant ramps We did condition number

[9:23] six public on street parking shall

[9:25] be provided along Northpoint Street

[9:28] and we also noted that the applicant would continue

[9:30] to coordinate with the engineering department

[9:32] in our Two Rivers Utilities department They are doing a type

[9:37] C buffer This development was not required to do

[9:41] open space due to their size.

[9:43] Less than three acres.

[9:44] They were required to do tree save.

[9:47] But opted for a fee in lieu option

[9:49] And that's primarily just because there wasn't

[9:52] sufficient coverage to save anyways Lastly,

[9:57] the developer did agree to do decorative street lighting that

[10:01] would mainly just be consistent with any existing lighting

[10:04] fixtures that we have in downtown Gastonia As always we

[10:10] are required by state law to post public hearing

[10:12] signs for all of our public hearing applications.

[10:15] So those signs on the right hand screen.

[10:17] Those are signs posted by city staff.

[10:21] So those are visible from Rincon Avenue West Airline Avenue,

[10:25] and the sign on the left side of the screen, that is the sign

[10:28] posted by the applicant With all of our public hearings,

[10:35] we are reviewing for consistency with the comprehensive plan

[10:39] As a reminder we did transition from feature land use map

[10:43] to place types So this property was designated as a neighborhood

[10:47] residential place type It is just outside of CBD though,

[10:51] and our downtown district.

[10:52] Please type Single fan blades attached

[10:55] is an allowed secondary use in this place.

[10:58] Type in their proposed density is 17.38 dwelling units per acre

[11:03] which is under a maximum of 24.

[11:06] So we did find the request to be consistent addition,

[11:12] due to the proximity of this location to downtown Gastonia,

[11:16] we did work with the applicant to include some urban design

[11:19] features So those would be some of the elements listed

[11:22] on the screen And all of those were incorporated into the site

[11:26] design I did hold a neighborhood meeting on July 15.

[11:33] However, no applicants were or no neighbors

[11:36] were in attendance and to this day,

[11:39] staff has not received any contacts on this application

[11:43] So with all that said, we are recommending approval

[11:45] as presented based on the 2050 Comprehensive Plan for site plan

[11:50] and the conditions that were presented We're

[11:52] available for any questions.

[11:54] I believe the applicant is here.

[11:55] Just if there's any questions, as well.

[11:58] Thank you, Matt.

[11:59] Any questions for staff ?

[12:05] Thank you, Mary So I want to have

[12:11] signage We do have one person signed up

[12:41] to speak for this item.

[12:42] I'm assuming that's the applicant.

[12:44] And for the record there's nobody to speak against it

[12:47] I'd like to call cow cow, crow.

[12:49] I think that's how it's written I was just going to answer

[12:52] any technical questions.

[12:53] Yeah.

[12:53] OK.

[12:53] Get it out there.

[12:55] All right.

[12:55] Please press freedoms If you have any questions

[12:57] from the commissioners State your name

[12:59] and your address for the record, please Kyle Crow.

[13:03] 3 to 0 in Lynn Cove Court and Clovers South

[13:07] Carolina, the questions for the applicant i do.

[13:13] This is right over by Cavendish, right ?

[13:17] Yes, ma'am.

[13:17] Adjacent So I noticed that it says

[13:22] dedicated on street parking.

[13:25] And seeing the difficulties that South Bend in Charlotte has had.

[13:32] Has there been thought, given to the fact that when Sugar Creek

[13:36] Brewing opens up basically directly in front of these homes

[13:42] that those dedicated parking spots for residents may be taken

[13:47] by patrons of the brewery ?

[13:50] Yes.

[13:50] That was our understanding that they would be first come,

[13:53] first serve parking spaces OK are there

[14:07] parking spaces on the rear?

[14:09] This was maybe said that they'll have driveways in the road park.

[14:12] OK.

[14:13] What is the size of it?

[14:15] Is a 12 foot tall.

[14:17] So.

[14:17] I'm sorry was that is that a 12 foot or 15 foot?

[14:22] The width ?

[14:23] Yes.

[14:24] They're ten feet.

[14:24] Ten feet?

[14:25] Yes Thank you I think it is I know there.

[14:38] I've got it.

[14:40] I've got it Okay.

[14:42] Yeah, I know the area.

[14:43] And this would be a big shot All of this can be a big thing.

[14:47] I think it's right to craft a new stadium

[14:51] and all I don't Issues of parking being a problem.

[14:55] Now but maybe came here from that because a lot of people

[14:59] use that for a cut or they run down

[15:02] Rankin Street to dodge the intersection to hit 321

[15:06] But what we come about 38 dwellings

[15:12] i can do that can be a major shot in there for that

[15:15] development Yeah, I agree with you Commissioner

[15:22] Wells and the proximity to the ballpark.

[15:24] Proximity to the new brewery going there I like

[15:27] the architecture that was presented Thank you for that

[15:32] So any further questions for our applicant ?

[15:36] Good.

[15:37] I mean, I'm thankful we have a developer

[15:41] willing to invest that kind of money to put a lot of people in.

[15:46] Look at that heritage overlay Thank you for the questions.

[15:53] Or comments.

[15:54] All right, Commissioner Thank you.

[16:00] Mr..

[16:02] Hear, hear.

[16:02] None.

[16:03] Or whether the wishes of the board I had a question for staff

[16:11] about will there be any of the C-3 zoning retained

[16:16] in the district or is it all going to be resident Shall

[16:25] So the subject property is currently

[16:27] split zoned c three on West Airline and then rC in the rear

[16:33] and it will be all completely free zone to plan development.

[16:36] If it was approved today.

[16:39] So the development would be utilizing the entire property

[16:47] And did y'all discuss density at all with the parking spaces?

[16:52] And I know I heard what you said about it's less than the 24,

[16:57] but I wondered if there was any further discussion about that.

[17:01] It is something that we reviewed with the developer

[17:03] and we do have parking maps in our ordinance.

[17:07] So it's a maximum of two spaces per unit.

[17:10] So they could technically provide zero parking spaces

[17:12] and meet the ordinance In this case,

[17:15] the public on street parking was not required, but was

[17:17] something that we asked for Obviously, it's not

[17:21] their responsibility to provide parking for the new business

[17:24] when it comes through, but it is a way

[17:26] to provide public parking as developed as projects are coming

[17:30] through So maybe end up looking a little bit piecemeal,

[17:33] but it would be one space per unit in the driveway.

[17:37] Then the additional 25 on the street.

[17:39] But they are public spaces and did the applicant were they

[17:49] the ones that suggested the mixed materials use or did they

[17:54] initially come with brick or anything ?

[17:57] I can't recall what their initial submittal went through,

[18:00] but based on the location we did ask to see a mix of materials

[18:05] and then you know, we also looked

[18:07] at it's located very close to downtown

[18:10] So we wanted some of those additional urban design

[18:12] elements.

[18:13] And we did work really closely with the applicant

[18:15] to come to a happy medium Thank you, Barry.

[18:20] Yes, ma'am.

[18:24] And any further questions for staff or the like?

[18:30] Thank you very Your nos are a motion

[18:33] to approve which closes the public hearing

[18:35] or to close the public hearing for further discussion

[18:47] I have a motion to approve the rezoning request.

[18:50] That's presented.

[18:52] We have a motion to approve the rezoning request

[18:54] as presented to hear Second.

[18:56] Commissioner Wilson seconded.

[18:59] We prepare to vote for the first motion.

[19:01] Those in favor say i vote unanimous.

[19:06] Is there a motion for number two ?

[19:10] I will.

[19:13] I vote for a motion to adopt the statement of consistency

[19:16] and reasonableness based on the 2050 Comprehensive Plan

[19:20] as well as the existing and surrounding

[19:22] zoning and land uses.

[19:23] The Planning Commission considers as I read this Yeah.

[19:31] Considers in advance of is an affirmative vote

[19:34] for a single fan blades attached residential use

[19:36] to be reasonable compatible and in the public's interest Motion

[19:41] to adopt a statement of consists in reasonableness.

[19:43] Is there a second?

[19:45] Commissioner Wilson seconded.

[19:47] Please be prepared Vote for motion number two.

[19:49] All those in favor say I and the vote unanimous And passes.

[19:52] Thank you, sir You're welcome.

[19:54] Stay around if you like Or you can leave as well.

[19:57] I mean, I think it's brain slacking off a little bit.

[20:01] I hope Oh, well, a man's back there.

[20:06] He got a little less known.

[20:08] A tornado is coming.

[20:09] Yeah we're looking pretty good.

[20:11] OK All right Item 4, be public hearings.

[20:23] Sierra Ridge, East Mount Mitchell Avenue,

[20:26] file number 202600256.

[20:30] The subject involves a request to rezone a portion of tax

[20:33] partial 316134.

[20:35] Approximately 7.096 acres from RS 12 Single family residential

[20:40] minimum 12,000 square foot lots to PD or ADT plan development

[20:45] Revised residential development district to subject property

[20:49] zoned by profile homes Summit ridge, LLC,

[20:51] and is located adjacent to the existing series Development east

[20:54] of Whiteside Road on mount Mitchell Avenue Again,

[20:58] recognize Mattie Gross Senior Planner for staff Presentation.

[21:02] Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[21:03] Members of the commission As was noted,

[21:07] this next request is located just east of Archie Whitesides

[21:13] Road just south of West Franklin.

[21:15] As you could see on our overview map,

[21:16] it's in western western Gastonia The request

[21:22] before you is for a rezoning for a portion of the tax parcel.

[21:26] So it'd just be that portion that's

[21:27] outlined with the blue stripes So that would be 7.1 acres

[21:33] and it would be a request from Rs12, which is a single family

[21:36] residential zoning district to a plan development In this case,

[21:40] this would also be using the revised residential development

[21:43] District As you can see from the zoning map

[21:47] property along Franklin is a combination

[21:49] of residential industrial and commercial zoning

[21:54] to directly to the west is the existing sewerage development.

[21:59] And then to the south is primarily

[22:01] rs12 zoning A lot of that property is in the floodplain,

[22:05] does have creek running through it.

[22:06] And so it is remained undeveloped Aerial

[22:11] just so you can see the property as the existing sierra Ridge

[22:16] development is currently under construct

[22:18] And we do have phase One platted.

[22:20] So you can see the lot lines for this portion phase

[22:24] one, Phase two, there still working on construction

[22:31] This is a quick overview of the two projects or two properties

[22:34] side by side This map does show you

[22:37] the full layout of what Sierra ridge phase one and two looks

[22:41] like.

[22:42] This was resolved in May of 2021 by the Planning Commission

[22:46] for 135 single family townhomes So the request tonight

[22:54] is for a plan development utilizing

[22:57] the revised Residential Development district.

[23:00] And it's 440 for single fan blades attached

[23:03] two unit duplexes The dwelling single fan

[23:08] blades attached to unit It is a type of single family attached

[23:13] product It's similar to a townhome instead

[23:16] of a minimum of three units per building

[23:19] This is just a minimum of two for each unit of the duplex

[23:22] is on its own lot This shows again,

[23:28] another overview of the phase three

[23:29] next to Sierra Ridge phase one in 2,

[23:32] and it does show the access points

[23:34] So phase three will tie into phase two

[23:37] along Mount Mitchell avenue, which is shown here.

[23:41] And then it will use the existing access

[23:43] points on Archie Whitesides Road here

[23:46] and West Franklin Boulevard this is the overall site

[23:52] plan provided by the applicant They also provided

[23:56] a color rendering which shows slightly more

[23:59] detail, a little bit easier to see on a colored

[24:01] version than just a black and white version

[24:05] But as you could see the lots are in yellow

[24:08] and the buildings are in orange Each building

[24:13] will be using a shared driveway at the curb.

[24:16] So one shared driveway apron, but they each lot

[24:19] will have its own actual driveway

[24:22] And they are providing trees.

[24:23] They've they are doing a 25 foot type C buffer

[24:27] along the northern property line, which

[24:29] does apply to zoning.

[24:31] I believe that came from a request from their neighborhood

[24:34] meeting that they worked with a adjoining property owner on They

[24:40] will be doing our standard 50 foot street, which

[24:43] would be a five foot sidewalk, a six foot planning strip, curb

[24:47] and gutter.

[24:48] And this actually has one side on street parking,

[24:50] but it would not be formalized They are proposing

[24:56] to do an extension of Mount Mitchell Avenue, which

[24:59] essentially just means they're stubbing the road right of way

[25:02] to the end of the property line for a potential future road

[25:05] connection And these are the elevations that we received

[25:13] from the applicant This is essentially

[25:16] six different variations And then they

[25:18] would be partnered with another duplex unit

[25:21] and they would mirror one another.

[25:23] But these are just the different variations that we received.

[25:26] And these do have a 50% breakfast zone

[25:29] on the bottom of the elevation.

[25:31] And then the top of the elevation

[25:32] would be fiber, cement siding because this

[25:40] is phase three of the development

[25:43] to was required for phase one Two and three unit count.

[25:47] So I believe the final unit count for all three phases

[25:50] was 157 units.

[25:54] So it did go through the tire process, which

[25:56] had to be completed before being seen before you all there was

[26:01] six intersection that were studied which are listed

[26:03] on the screen essentially U.S. 74 at Diane

[26:07] 29, Theater Road, Edgewood road, Shannon Bradley Road State

[26:11] road 1376.

[26:14] Archie White sides at Olympus Avenue and Archie

[26:17] Whitesides at Carson Road And based

[26:21] on the capacity and the crash analysis that

[26:23] was performed by the tire consultant no improvements were

[26:28] required from the tire And this is just a quick map showing

[26:36] the studied intersections As always,

[26:41] we do have a list of agreed upon conditions

[26:43] And so condition one, just maxes the unit count at 44 duplexes

[26:50] construction.

[26:50] This is looking at material.

[26:52] So they did agree to a 50% brick or stone and 50%

[26:56] fiber cement siding on the front.

[26:59] Condition three is related to the driveway design condition

[27:05] for is.

[27:06] The applicant will be providing a 25 foot type C buffer

[27:09] to remain undisturbed along the Northern property

[27:11] line They did agree to provide a ten foot landscape

[27:17] easement along the rear property line for back to back lots

[27:22] And then lastly, there is a portion

[27:24] of the property on i guess would be phase two of Sierra Ridge

[27:29] that the Carolina thread trail future Greenway runs through.

[27:32] And so they will be dedicating an easement to the city public,

[27:38] hearing signs on the signs on the left or signs

[27:41] posted by city staff.

[27:44] And then the signs on the right were

[27:45] posted by the applicant similar to the last project.

[27:52] This is also a neighborhood residential place

[27:54] type A single family attached is, again,

[27:58] a secondary allowed use so it is permitted in this place type

[28:01] and their overall density is 6.2 dwelling units per acre.

[28:06] So under a max of 24.

[28:09] So it is consist with the comprehensive plan They did hold

[28:14] a neighborhood meeting on June 30th,

[28:16] I believe they had one neighbor attend and they did resolve any

[28:19] concerns.

[28:20] That neighbor had At this time, staff

[28:22] has not received any contacts or calls for this project.

[28:27] And we are recommending approval as presented

[28:30] and the applicant is here, I'm not sure if they want to present

[28:33] or if they're just here for questions Thank.

[28:38] Any questions for staff ?

[28:43] Thank you There are three people signed up for this item.

[28:47] I'm assuming by the addresses that they

[28:49] are the applicant That's the county I mean all three.

[28:58] I mean, I mean, I'm John.

[29:00] I'm John.

[29:01] I think I'll make a recommendation

[29:02] to say print your name You're first on the list.

[29:06] If you state your name and address

[29:08] for the record for john Frye, 86, 35 for Green Drive.

[29:12] I actually put my business address their 8008 corporate

[29:15] center drive through 704(c 49 85669 Any questions for that?

[29:23] This is phase three.

[29:25] This is a third phase.

[29:26] Yes.

[29:27] Our what percentage of phase one and two

[29:31] completed it or sold the phase one is about 80% complete.

[29:38] I'd say probably about 70% sold.

[29:41] Phase two, we have not gotten the plan approved,

[29:43] so we've not gone vertical with anything yet at this point

[29:45] in time welcome back.

[29:51] Yeah, I have a question for phase three.

[29:55] Why are you going to do project four out instead

[29:59] of your phase one and two?

[30:02] You're so how many how many townhomes

[30:04] are in those buildings?

[30:06] 13.

[30:06] Townhomes are in the first phase.

[30:09] How many are are in the unit?

[30:12] It ranges.

[30:13] We have some four unit buildings five unit buildings and some six

[30:16] unit buildings.

[30:17] OK.

[30:17] Why did you go to the two?

[30:20] The two row?

[30:21] I would have to defer to Maddie on that and staff

[30:23] because we were instructed that we could not

[30:25] do any of the townhome construction

[30:28] that we employed in the first two phases

[30:32] But these are so going to be like single family,

[30:34] like even though it's just a series

[30:37] that we actually presented as Duplex are actually

[30:40] the same series that we're building in there.

[30:42] We're just going to put them in two unit configurations instead

[30:44] of the 5 and 6 unit configurations OK,

[30:48] About the same square footage size approximately.

[30:51] Okay You know, the question for the applicant or i'm

[31:03] no longer tonight and i, I know I let them all make the changes.

[31:11] And I know they've done that to your microphone.

[31:14] All they've got is somebody in their family

[31:19] No additional management right there.

[31:23] And i understand we had to ration every and that's

[31:27] a lot of traffic coming of and and what was your first name?

[31:32] John John, when you come on to the side room

[31:36] there there's not a we can't make a right.

[31:39] You go left or right right.

[31:41] That is correct.

[31:42] The Archie White side entrance is a is a left door.

[31:44] Right.

[31:44] That could be an issue down the road

[31:47] as you go that whole intersection slash

[31:48] the building right there John, I'm sorry.

[31:56] Go ahead But yeah, when I done that phase three,

[31:59] I do it in that because I know what

[32:05] is this a 50 foot right away?

[32:07] Is that correct ?

[32:10] I believe so.

[32:11] It is on the roads of that of that, It's a 50 foot.

[32:16] Yes So John, when you go out on the entrance

[32:23] and goes up Michigan Machine Shop I come down to shade

[32:26] before there used to be I think it was a private.

[32:31] Yes, it still exists Yes.

[32:34] So if you come out of that development,

[32:35] can you go back to the left without knowing the shade before

[32:39] and run back down through Aren't Blanchard right?

[32:42] I honestly, I cannot answer that question.

[32:45] I know the cat can That's bad, because when you found down,

[32:49] you're right there as a red line.

[32:51] Yeah I mean, like now, you know, it's

[32:53] a i'm looking it up right now on Google Maps,

[32:59] but I'll, I'll, I'll jump back in in a minute.

[33:01] Once I have an answer to that to help educate

[33:06] for a half hour for property Hmm Yeah Just i don't think

[33:23] I don't think you can.

[33:25] Yeah So, yeah, it does not go back left.

[33:28] You would have to You would have to take a right

[33:31] or somehow get across the intersection

[33:33] if you wanted to go left.

[33:34] You either having to go right or get into a different turn lane

[33:37] to essentially do a U-turn to go west.

[33:40] You go at that particular driveway,

[33:42] you have to go right or into shape before you came to

[33:45] and go down that frontage.

[33:47] Correct Yeah.

[33:49] Not to show my back, make a left on that frontage road What

[33:53] would be no reason for like to go out for the entrance.

[33:56] Now you can only go right into the machine shop.

[33:59] But otherwise you'd have to go to 74

[34:02] and then do a U-turn Thank you for clarification.
