PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting amend Sec. 3-080 (D) replacing existing list of requirements with more extensive table of uses as well as adding a definition of shopping center to Sec. 2-010. ANALYSIS: The purpose of this text amendment is to create a more extensive list of uses and to reduce some of the current requirements to reflect the multimodal traffic patterns on the island. STAFF FINDING This amendment is designed to make parking requirements clearer and ease the parking restrictions for some uses. Staff recommends approval. ATTACHMENTS A. Text amendment 1 This Staff Report was prepared by George Shaw. Sec. 3-080. - Off-street parking requirements. (A) In all zoning districts, handicapped parking shall be provided as required by the O.C.G.A. tit. 30, Accessibility Code. (B) Residential district parking requirements and residential off-street parking requirements. Off-street parking facilities shall be provided and maintained on site for all buildings, structures or premises being used in whole or in part for residential purposes, or for any other use permitted in residential districts. (1) Residential dwelling units. For every dwelling unit, there shall be provided at least two off-street parking spaces. A caretaker's cottage is a separate dwelling unit and shall be provided at least two off-street parking spaces. (2) Nursing homes, hospitals. One parking space for each five patient beds, plus one space for each staff doctor, plus one space for each employee on the largest shift. (3) Theaters, auditoriums, gymnasiums and other places of assembly. One parking space for each four seats provided in the main auditorium or for each 50 square feet of floor area available for the accommodation of movable seats in the largest assembly room or area. (4) Public and private elementary and secondary schools (except assembly halls, auditoriums and gymnasium used in conjunction therewith). One parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area devoted to such use. (5) Private docks. At least two off-street parking spaces must be provided for any private dock proposed for construction on a lot that has not been otherwise improved. In the event that a private dock is proposed on a lot that has not been improved, the parking must be off-street (not on city right-of-way) and pervious. (C) Control of access to structures used for residential purposes including but not limited to single family, duplex, triplex, two family, multifamily, townhomes, apartments, time shares, and condominiums whether owner occupied or held for rental. In order to promote the safety of motorists and pedestrians, the following regulations shall apply to all newly constructed driveways: (1) A driveway opening which connects a lot with a public street shall not be greater than 25 feet in width at the property line. Driveways that serve duplex lots shall not have a width greater than 15 feet per unit measured at the property line. This section is not intended to prevent the installation of flared driveway ends. These flared ends, when constructed in accordance with adopted standards and specifications, shall not count towards the width of the driveway. (2) There shall be no more than two driveway openings on any lot of any width. The total of the widths at the property line of two driveway openings shall not be greater than 25 feet. (3) No driveway opening shall be constructed within 25 feet of an intersection, measuring from the nearest improved portion of the right-of-way. However, in any instance where there is not adequate space available and other access is not feasible, staff may permit a reduction in the distance to an intersection from a driveway in order to permit safe access to the property provided the speed limit on abutting or adjacent roads is 30 miles per hour or less. (4) No curb on any city street or right-of-way shall be cut or otherwise altered without prior written approval of the designated city official. Driveway requirements specified in this section, notwithstanding, staff may issue a permit to a residential property owner to place approved materials in the city right of way, provided the owner is informed and acknowledges that the city will maintain the right to initiate any required action within the right of way and that permitting materials in the right of way shall not create any vested rights in the property owner and such permission may be terminated at any time. In addition, such permit by staff may only be made in the event the improvement does not create a safety issue or interfere with city metered parking and does not violate any city ordinance including, but not limited to, the requirements of section 3-165 to maintain 65 percent of the property setback area as greenspace. If the staff of the Page 1 building and zoning department finds that a request under this section needs or should have additional review for any reason, it may request review by the mayor and council or, if the staff of the building and zoning department declines the applicant's request, the applicant may apply for the granting of the permit which will result in the application going to the mayor and council. However, before the mayor and council, a public hearing is not required but action may only be taken at a public meeting of the mayor and council. (5) For water quality purposes, all newly constructed driveways and replacements of more than 50 percent of existing driveways serving residential uses shall be constructed of materials designed to allow retention of the first one inch of stormwater. A new driveway includes the initial placement of any material on bare soil. Such new driveways and replacements of more than 50 percent of an existing driveway are subject to permitting and inspection(s). A permit and inspection(s) are also required for repair of less than 50 percent of an improved driveway. The retention requirement is based on a 24-hour, 25 -year Tybee III SCS storm. A permit is required for installation of a new or replacement driveway. An inspection is required of each layer prior to the next layer being installed. The permit applicant shall be responsible for all engineering fees incurred by the city for review of materials, even when a material is not approved. Acceptable materials include: a. Stone must be either AASHTO #57, #67, #78, or #89 open graded with no fines, or pea gravel with no fines, or a combination of two or more. Graded aggregate base (also known as "crusher run" or "crush and run") is not allowed. b. Standard brick pavers are four -inch by eight -inch with minimum five -sixty -fourths -inch average continuous joints/borders with eight one -eighth -inch wide spacers per paver filled with masonry sand. See item (c) for base and header requirements. if larger bricks are used, thereby creating less linear joint and surface area joint, calculations by a state licensed design professional must be reviewed and approved by the city. See engineering fee information in subsection (1). c. Permeable interlocking concrete pavers (PICP) are solid structural units installed with openings as described in the coastal stormwater supplement (CSS) through which stormwater runoff can rapidly pass into the underlying reservoir of a four -inch minimum depth open -graded stone, no fines. Openings may be filled only with pea gravel or larger stone, or with masonry sand. A concrete header curb or paver/concrete block ribbon with a maximum width of eight inches must be installed around the perimeter of the pavers. Building foundations and garage floors may serve as a portion of the perimeter. The edge of a paved road may not serve as a perimeter. Flush headers and ribbons are included in the driveway measurements. To not be included in the driveway measurements a header or ribbon must be installed lower than the driveway pavers, covered with adequate top soil, and seeded or sodded to facilitate vegetation. d. Ribbon driveway designs are normally constructed of concrete but other materials may be considered. The ribbons are to be a maximum of 18 inches wide with a one to two percent cross slope to route runoff to adjacent pervious areas rather than down the strips to the street. The area between the strips may be either grass or stone as described in subsection (a). The area between the drive strips is to be flush or one -eighth -inch below the driving strip to encourage the percolation of stormwater runoff between the driving strips. Concrete grid pavers (CGP) are precast concrete units that allow rainfall and stormwater runoff to pass through large openings that are filled with pea gravel, sand or topsoil and turf. A concrete header curb or brick/concrete block ribbon with a maximum width of 12 inches (flush or one -eighth -inch higher than the contained permeable pavement) must be installed around the perimeter of the permeable pavement. Building foundations and garage floors may serve as a portion of the perimeter. The edge of a paved road may not serve as a perimeter. Header and ribbons are included in the driveway measurements. To not be included in the driveway measurements a header or ribbon must be installed lower Page 2 than the driveway pavers, covered with adequate top soil, and seeded or sodded to facilitate vegetation. f. Plastic grid pavers (PGP) consist of flexible, interlocking plastic units that allow rainfall and stormwater runoff to pass through large openings that are filled with gravel, sand or topsoil and turf. A header curb is required and is included in the driveway measurement. g. Pervious concrete (also known as porous concrete) is similar to conventional concrete in structure and form, but consists of a special open -graded surface course, typically four to eight inches thick, that is bound together with Portland cement. h. Porous asphalt is similar to pervious concrete, and consists of a special open -graded surface course bound together by asphalt cement. For all other proposed materials, calculations are required from a state licensed design professional demonstrating compliance with the retention requirement of this section. (D) Commercial off-street parking. Off-street parking facilities shall be provided and maintained for all structures or premises being occupied or used in whole or in part for commercial activity as follows: With the submission of an application for a business license for either a new business or a business that has expanded the occupancy load of the principle structure, changed use, or created additional occupant loads through other structures where permitting has been required by the city, a parking plan must be submitted with the application for approval by the designated city official. If the plan represents significant changes in parking, the plan may be determined to require site plan approval by the mayor and council. spaG9 fer each four seats -h—ASP-d- emn —A maximum Seating capacity of 15 sq�are feet Der perr, rooting square feetage ir.gh,dmng outdoor seating n Commercial Parking Requirements Use Parking Requirement Retail 1 space per 300 square feet of gross floor area Shopping center 1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area Page 3 (2) For all uses, a rack able to accommodate eight bicycles may be substituted for one required standard parking space based on the schedule below.

Hughes Vice Chair Bossick called the October 17, 2016 Tybee Island Planning Commission meeting to order. Commissioners present were John King, David McNaughton, Tina Gann and Ron Bossick. Commissioners absent were Demery Bishop, Charles Matlock and Marianne Bramble. Consideration of Minutes: Vice Chair Bossick asked for consideration of September 19, 2016 meeting minutes. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to approve the minutes, Commissioner Gann seconded and the vote to approve was unanimous. Disclosures/ Recusal: Vice Chair Bossick asked if there were any disclosures or recusals, there were none. Old Business: Text Amendment -to the Land Development Code to amend Sec. 3-080D to create a use table with parking requirements and adjust parking re uirements. Additionally to amend Sec. 2-010 Definitions to add a definition of shopping „center: Mr. Shaw stated he amended the previous ordinance to encompass what he believed to be all of the Planning Commissions comments and changes. Commissioner McNaughton stated that his preference would be to wait until everyone was present. Commissioner King asked Mr. Shaw if Gas Stations are treated as retail which he did not see listed. Mr. Shaw stated yes because a stand-alone Gas Station almost never exist anymore and that is why he did not put it in the list. He stated the two we have now are also convenience stores so they are treated as retail. Commissioner McNaughton stated in the Shopping center definition the last sentence is not needed. Mr. Shaw stated that he agrees and will strike that sentence. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to continue for consideration of changes until the November 14th Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner King seconded the vote to continue was unanimous. New Business: Text Amendment -to the Land Develol2ment Code to remove Sec. 4-050H- TBR transitional business - residential district and to amend Sec. 4-050F —C2 highway business district to allow for residential uses by -right -and above commercia[ districts: Mr. Shaw stated right now the City has a zoning district in the ordinance as TBR which is not on our zoning map, it is described somewhat and as zoning administrator he was never comfortable with where it existed, and in his opinion you can't have a zoning district that is not on your map if you have something zoned that way. He stated this is neither an overlay or a district itself it is an interpretation that he is not comfortable with so he would like to remove the TBR and make the R2 uses by right in the C2. Commissioner McNaughton stated that he does not understand the second sentence at all. Mr. Shaw stated as an example a home occupation is allowed after special review in R2 so if they want a home occupation in C2 that would also require special review. Commissioner King asked if the idea of this new one is that they would use the C2 or the R2 setbacks if it was a residential use. Mr. Shaw stated perhaps he should add that to be sure and that is an important point. Vice Chair Bossick asked if an R2 comes in and it is in a C2 area will there have to be a buffer requirement. Mr. Shaw stated there is one in the C2 and he thinks that does need to be stated. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to continue until the November 14th Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner Gann seconded the vote to continue was unanimous. Variance and Special Review -consideration of request to place materials in a marsh.

This was approved by Planning Commission and City Council a couple years ago and DNR also approved the Marsh Buffer their approval is good for 5 years where ours is only good for a year and has since expired. That is why this if before you again. Commissioner Gann made a motion to approve, Commissioner McNaughton seconded and the vote to approve was unanimous.

Hughes Chair Bishop called the September 19, 2016 Tybee Island Planning Commission meeting to order. Commissioners present were Marianne Bramble, John King, Charles Matlock, David McNaughton and Ron Bossick. Commissioner Gann was not present. Consideration of Minutes: Chair Bishop asked for consideration of August 15, 2016 meeting minutes. Commissioner Bramble made a motion to approve the minutes, Commissioner King seconded, and the vote to approve was unanimous. Disclosures/ Recusal: Chair Bishop asked if there were any disclosures or recusals, there were none. Old Business: Chair Bishop asked if there were any old business, there were none. New Business: Text Amendment — Section 3-080 — off street parking requirements: Mr. Shaw approached the commission and stated that City Council has expressed interest in changes to our C-2 parking requirements. The last time he went to City Council with Planning Commission's recommendation of no changes, they decided to rethink this in another way. So he came up with a use table for all commercial properties that expands the number of uses, he said he tried to think of as many uses as he could, on a couple of items he reduced the parking requirements from what it currently is. Commissioner Bossick stated that Sec. D page 3 were it talks about commercial off street parking it doesn't reference zoning only activity so does that mean any of those homes on Laurel that are C-2 could open a surf shop without a review. Mr. Shaw stated yes, and it is his understanding that all those homes on Laurel were offered the chance to not be commercial and they turned it down so they should be aware that their neighbor could be a surf shop at any second. Planning Commission could put a clause in there to require a review. Commissioner Bossick stated where it states commercial activity about charging a fee for profit, does that mean short term rentals will fall into that category. Mr. Shaw stated that our attorney Bubba Hughes opinion is because the transactions do not take place in the house that they are just residences. Commissioner Matlock asked why the parking plan is marked out in D2. Mr. Shaw stated that he could put it back in. Commissioner McNaughton asked since this reduces parking can the current businesses under the current rule eliminate parking and add more space to the building. And he would like more definitions to what staff listed as businesses. Mr. Shaw answered yes they would be able to eliminate parking and add on. Commissioner Bramble stated this request is not in the proper line because in the next month we're going to be looking at rezoning two parcels in the commercial district. Mr. Shaw stated that was last month. The October meeting will have a text amendment allowing residential in the C-2 and if that passes the rezoning you approved last month would be withdrawn. Commissioner Bramble commented this should be tabled and brought back after text amendment. Chair Bishop commended Mr. Shaw on answering questions that the Planning Commission has had with this proposal. He also stated in D-1 of the proposal is that Owner or Lease. Mr. Shaw stated he is looking at the use of the building. Chair Bishop asked if retail could be struck out of the description. And also the drive through business needs some tweaking. Mr. Shaw stated yes that could be done and he agrees. Commissioner McNaughton asked what is the potential loss of public parking spaces. Mr. Shaw stated he was not sure but would try to look into that. Chair Bishop stated that he would like to see the changes that were raised tonight fixed and come back to them before they move forward with a recommendation. Also there should be an applicable date added so current established businesses would not be able to add on. Commissioner King stated that this proposal is a great start. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to continue till next month's meeting with the answers to our questions. Commissioner Bramble seconded, the vote to continue was unanimous. Text Amendment — request to amendment to the soil erosion, sedimentation and pollution control — Article 15 — Section IV number 17: Mr. Shaw stated that recently the state changed their marsh buffer rules, they brought it back so they want us to change our soil erosion, sedimentation and pollution control amendment which is a model ordinance that the state sends down to everyone, to reflect the change. The change is under Section IV number 17 and that spells out the buffer requirements under state law. And we also have a marsh buffer in our ordinance in another section of the Land Development Code. Commissioner McNaughton asked if they had to made changes to Tybee's code. Mr. Shaw answered no Tybee uses the jurisdiction line to go off of. Commissioner Matlock made a motion to approve, Commissioner Bramble seconded, the vote to approve was unanimous. Mr. Shaw asked if the Planning Commission would like to change the November and December meetings to the third week currently November is on the second week and December is on the third week. Commissioner Bossick motioned to keep the November meeting on November 14th, and Commissioner McNaughton seconded, the vote was unanimous. Chair Bishop stated that the five members that are here tonight do not have a problem with December 191h meeting date so that date will stay the same, so no vote was needed. Commissioner Bramble made the motion to adjourn and Commissioner King seconded, vote to adjourn was unanimous. Adjourned 8:00pm Lisa L. Schaaf
