[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.
