1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,680
uh they agree with the fact of General
statute and that's what we're trying to

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,320
say here and that also that the Fidelity
bond is not going to be individually

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:16,840
required on all the people that handle
money for the city because it's not just

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:21,080
the four people that work downstairs in
Revenue collections you probably are

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:26,760
going to touch every department and it
would be extremely cost prohibitive to

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,119
try to get individual Bonds on each one
so basically the policy says the council

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,840
agrees that we have a blanket Bond
because that's how the city has always

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:40,120
handled it we have an insurance policy
um we we have many policies as you're

9
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:45,440
aware of but our blanket Bond covers
anybody that handles public funds or

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:49,559
public assets or inventory so that's
essentially what this policy is

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,160
referencing we're just trying to get
things put in writing and get the

12
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:58,399
council to agree with it and and so
therefore it is there for future

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:03,120
councils to operate off of I have no
problem Council uh as this one is again

14
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:07,080
intended to be setting a policy
non-controversial this is intended to be

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,320
something that is improving our internal
accountability measures did not see this

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,960
one as being something that was that was
controversial but still given it's the

17
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:19,000
first time Council has seen it wanted to
be under new business instead of the

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:24,920
consent agenda is there any or any
thoughts concerns or debate on this one

19
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:30,600

00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:21,200
of a a platted RightWay on a on a piece
of paper so it doesn't exist in reality

31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,720
but because it is a public RightWay we
have to follow North Carolina General

32
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:30,959
statutes to properly and legally close
the public right

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,400

45
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:49,159
just a little background uh the uh the
applicant uh came through early in

46
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:53,159
20124 with a request uh during that
review it was noted that there was

47
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:59,000
little interest in the surrounding
neighborhood to be tied into this this

48
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,519
piece of street so uh the a conditional
rezoning

49
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:09,000
conditional zoning was submitted by the
applicant uh showing uh a site plan uh

50
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,319
with this piece of land being a private
driveway as opposed to a publicly

51
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,239
maintained Street uh so that was
approved as a condition of approval of

52
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:22,960
that conditional resoning that this
property be abandoned uh or or be uh

53
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:28,880
that they request the property uh to be
uh right away to be closed uh and a

00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:34,840
private driveway be constructed in its
in its place

55
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:40,320
uh so with that uh it is a condition of
the approval of that that conditional

56
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:44,400
zoning and with that the uh uh staff is
requesting that Council adopt a

57

Commercial uses this District encourages
a commercial uses and forbids industrial

94
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,680
uses uh the neighborhood business
district uh is pro uh established to

95
00:07:52,159 --> 00:08:00,520
provide the services uh and Commercial
development needs to uh serve primarily

96
00:07:57,479 --> 00:08:04,960
adjoining neighborhoods uh is uh
intended to promotee the development of

97
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:09,520
small pedestrian oriented establishments
whose character and use is compatible

98
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:16,000
with nearby residential neighborhoods
maximum building uh gross area is 24,000

99
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:22,199
ft the neighborhood uh business
conditional zoning District which is

100
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:25,919
proposed uh is established to uh provide
uh the services and Commercial

101
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:30,199
development needed to serve primarily
the adjoining neighborhoods the district

102
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:33,719
is intended to promote the development
of small pedestrian oriented

103
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:39,200
establishments whose character and use
is compatible with nearby residential

104
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:44,080
neighborhoods uh with that uh the
surrounding zoning districts uh include

105
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,839
uh some general business and
neighborhood business to the north

106
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:55,839
office institutional uh and residential
R9 to the South uh R R9 residential to

107
00:08:53,560 --> 00:09:00,399
the East and office institutional to the
West uh the the zoning map in your

108
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,880
packet shows
U the neighborhood business properties

109
00:09:02,839 --> 00:09:09,720
uh just adjacent to and just to the
north of subject property and then

110
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,720
immediately to the South is uh the Oni
District uh there's some Oni uses at

111
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:20,079
that corner and then some um random
residential across the street uh located

112
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:24,839
within Oni District so uh this property
that's being requested for rezoning uh

113
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:31,720
is essentially kind of an extension of
that existing commercial District

114
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:39,560
um expanding
Southward uh the applicant has requested

115
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:47,040
that uh that the the the they play he's
requesting or volunteering a limiting

116
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:55,360
the uses uh permitted in the district uh
primarily he's is uh excluding or or uh

117
00:09:52,440 --> 00:10:00,000
non-permitted or he's basically saying
that he will not be permitting uh bingo

118
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,640
parlor internet cafes sweep stake
facilities electronic gaming

119
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:09,320
operations um however he's requesting
that all commercial retail Center uses

120
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:13,920
uh that are permitted in the
neighborhood business zoning District be

121
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,640
uh approved as part of this conditional
rezoning

122
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:24,440
so uh the the city land use plan locate
locates these Parcels within the the

123
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:28,079
mixed use one and medium density
residential uh portions of the land use

124
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,800
designation the neighborhood business
zoning district is a corresponding

125
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,800
zoning District to the mixed use one
land use designation this is not a

126
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,639
corresponding zoning District to the
medium density residential land use so

127
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,920
it's just basically we're saying there
that there is a small portion of this

128
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:50,959
track that is uh identified for
residential U so the comprehensive plan

129
00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:54,720
doesn't get right all the time but it is
what it is so uh staff is not

130
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:58,920
distributed they proposed conditional
resoning to the TRC ultimately the

131
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:04,360
application is going to have to come
back with a full set of drawings for

132
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:10,120
staff review uh he submitted a 70%
drawing so it's not a complete site plan

133
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:15,600
but it it basically demonstrates how the
the site will be developed out so um

134
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,079
there are some pictures of a similar
development right next door which he

135
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:23,720
currently owns and it's it's going to be
very similar to that except a lot more

136
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,120
green
um uh let's see I requested a plan be

137
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,120
added and and it's not

138
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:41,360
everywhere I would like to just uh
briefly describe the project um and in

139
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:44,959
your packet there is uh uh substantial
information I will make this brief but I

140
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:52,519
also want to provide you with this
information uh and get it in the record

141
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:57,920
um so uh the we've already discussed the
land use uh I I would like to go to the

142
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:02,000
physical improvements uh the property is
proposing access to the site from the

143
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,839
existing driveway cut along North
Berkeley Boulevard and one from mwood

144
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:11,959
Drive uh the approved driveway permits
will be required from ncdot and city of

145
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,560
Goldsboro prior to site plan
approval uh the applicant is proposing

146
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:22,160

148
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:34,360

square ft of retail space um the project

149
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:40,360
will be providing sidewalks along um uh
Maplewood uh drive and uh uh North

150
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Berkeley Boulevard uh a lighting plan
has not been submitted but uh is

151
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:49,279
understood that if the the site does uh
uh provide a lighting plan it will have

152
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:55,079
to meet minimum city of Goldsboro
unified development or uh minimum

153
00:12:50,959 --> 00:13:02,440
ordinance standards um interconnectivity
um has been shown uh tying the proposed

154
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:07,440
uh strip center uh into the existing uh
retail Center just to the north uh

155
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:12,040
engineering uh City Water and Sewer is
available at the site um City

156
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,079
