It is specifically listed in the Short Term Work Program (see attachment C) and through the Land Use Element of the plan. The existing ordinance was adopted in 1971 and is inconsistent with state laws, federal mandates and the city comprehensive plan. Piecemeal amendments through the years have led to a quagmire of misinterpreted and confusing regulations that have no relevance to the city's comprehensive plan or desired pattern of future growth. This project will provide the opportunity to correct this situation. The following specific tasks will be performed: 1) A Land Use Design Plan will be created through interaction with members of the community and urban spatial analysis techniques. Public forums and Geographical information systems will be tools of this process. 2) This land use design will formulate such parts of a revised zoning ordinance as: Zoning Districts both Primary and Overlay, Parking Standards, Structure Placement Requirements. It will also lead to the development of a Capital Improvements Plan that will be directly tied to the cities land use regulations. This exercise of interrelating urban design, regulation, and fiscal scheduling will bring both land use planning and implementation into one focus. 3) The zoning ordinance and other ordinances related to land use regulation will be updated to affirm their consistency with recent Federal and State Legislative and Judicial decisions. Time is allotted in the event that there is some public negotiation and mitigation to be accomplished in the process. 4) Once all new ordinances and plans are ratified, these documents and maps will be printed and a developers guide to local regulations brochure will be created to assist in the efficient administration and understanding of the city's intentions. Feasibility A land use design plan and subsequent revisions of the zoning ordinance can easily be accomplished with adequate funding. The planning commission and city attorney will be actively involved and support the project. The Coastal Georgia Regional Development Center (CGRDC) has a professional planning staff and capable GIS unit. There are no identifiable roadblocks for the project. 1 1 1 Attachment A continued Impact Tybee Island is has an immense appeal to tourists and tourism is the sole provider of basic economic activity for the community The Island is inhabited by many residents who rely on tourist activity for their livelihood. Conversely, there are also many residents whom inhabit the island and work in nearby Savannah or are retired. These residents often feel inconvenienced by tourist activities. For this reason it is imperative that a proper land design plan is devised and the city's regulatory and capital improvements activities are coordinated into a concept that is beneficial for all. The long run result will be a community that maintains its pristine and passive qualities while allowing for the tourism industry to expand. Through proper and specific design of Tybee Island, these two groups of residents can both have the community they desire. This project will also provide the opportunity for Environmental issues related to the minimum planning standards to be brought to the forefront. Innovative measures of construction and structure placement will be incorporated into the design strategy that will enable the developer to meet his or her needs while preserving every vital element of the beach dune and marshland ecosystem. In the long run, all residents of Tybee Island will benefit by updating the city's land use regulations. Problems with additions to housing will be resolved. Traffic congestion will be alleviated. The business community will benefit from renovation of parking standards. Capital improvements will be made in ways to which they will have immediate impact on the problems associated with land use management and the tourism industry. The land use design and revised zoning ordinance will be a primary tool in the implementation of the comprehensive plan. It will also lead the way to future updates of the comprehensive plan. Strategy A land use design plan will be devised through community interaction and technical analysis of the existing community activity patterns. Community interaction will be accommodated through a series of four public forums in which land use and city infrastructure issues will be isolated, analysis of the existing patterns of development will be presented, and a specific ideal future community scenario will be devised. Technical analysis will be provided through use of a sophisticated geographical information system that will incorporate traffic patterns, impact of different land uses upon community infrastructure, environmental parameters, and future community growth. Through GIS the public will be able to see the community in a different context. This will also allow off season to be compared to peak season factors. Through the development of this land use design plan the zoning ordinance will be revised by the planning commission, who will work closely with the CGRDC planning staff. This has proved to be an effective team approach to ordinance development as evidenced by similar projects in St. Marys, Bryan County, and Darien. 1 1 1 Attachment A continued The city council has fully endorsed this project as seen in the letter of support (attachment D). Also attached is the section of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and Short Term Work Program which calls for this ordinance update (attachment C). Need The 1996 U.S. Olympic Games will produce a significant tourism impact upon communities through out the State. These impacts will be especially felt in the communities that will be host to Olympic activities. Tybee Island is one such community. It will be host to the Olympic Beach Volleyball competition which is in its experimental stage for the 1996 Games. Even though this is only one event and an experimental one at that, Tybee Island is a small community with a fixed amount of land area to manage. It is necessary that the land available for development be maximized in an efficient manner in order to mitigate the impacts of such events. The impacts from preparation for these games are being felt already. The city must move now to effectively manage these future activities and other activities for years to come. Given that Tybee Island is a small community, resources for effective land use planning are limited. This is why the Coastal Georgia Regional Development Center is committed to devoting staff specifically to this project. However, there are many costs for which neither the city nor the RDC can afford to defray. It is for this reason that assistance from the Local Development Fund is so desperately needed. 1 1 1 ATTACHMENT B SOURCE & USE OF FUNDS In Kind Contract costs with CGRDC: $7,000 (See estimate for detailed line item costs in attachment E) City of Tybee Island: Clerical Support $600 Copying $100 Advertising & Meeting room $300 Local Funds LDF Grant $2,500 $3,500 Total $1,000 $2,500 $3,500 Attachment C Short -Term Work Program Implementation Summary ( Masterplan Goals are noted in Boldface.)

Locklear City of Tybee Island P.O. Box 2749 Tybee Island, Ga. 31328 -2749 Dear Sir: Based on the City Council's March 10, 1994 decision to rewrite the Zoning Ordinance, I have prepared a cost estimate to update the City of Pembroke Zoning Ordinance. As discussed in the memo I sent to Angela Byers, many sections of the ordinance will require substantial revisions to protect the City from adverse court actions. In addition, the a land use design plan will be created to depict development patterns consistent with those desired by the City as expressed in the comprehensive plan and in public forums. Also, spatial analysis techniques will be implemented through our Geographical Information System to provide the public and Planning Commission with views of the city from different perspectives. Once formulated, this design plan will be incorporated into the ordinance and dictate the parameters of the zoning districts as well as other city documents such as the business license ordinance, subdivision regulations and the Capital Improvements Plan. Finally, the zoning map will be developed on Geographical Information System (GIS) for readability, ease of future amendment, and further future analysis and evaluation. The land use design plan will be used beyond for future II ordinance as ntermodal design plan will also provide conceptual plan projects, Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA) grant applications and necessary improvements required for hosting the Olympic activities in 1996.

ADOPTED THIS DAY OF , 1994 c Mayor James P. Locklear Clerk of Council 1st Reading: March 3, 1994 2nd Reading: Enacted: 1 1 Ordinance # Be it ordained, and it is hereby ordained, by Mayor and Council in Open Meeting assembled that the Tybee Island Code of Ordinances, Chapter 4, Title 8, Section 3 Definitions be amended by the addition of definitions entitled "Bed & Breakfast, residential ", "Buffer ", "Conditional Use ", and "Conditional Use Permit ", and renumbered to maintain the alphabetical order of the definitions, to read as follows: 8 -4 -3 (b) Specific Definitions Bed and Breakfast, residential: Overnight accommodations and a MORNING MEAL in a dwelling unit provided to transients for compensation. Comment: Bed and Breakfast (B &B) accommodations differ from rooming and boarding houses in that they are truly transient accommodations, with guests rarely staying more than a few days. In addition the owner lives in the facility. The impact of a bed and breakfast should not be much greater than that of a private home with frequent houseguest, with the exception of parking demand. Many B &B's are not accessible by mass transit, and consequently, guests usually arrive by auto. Adequate parking must be provided. Other zoning regulations should address the number of rooms that can be rented out, limit breakfasts to the hours of 5 am - 12 noon to guests only, and require the owner to live on premise & agree to make available proof of residency. Buffer: Open spaces, landscaped areas, fences, walls, beams or any combination thereof used to physically separate or screen one use or property from another so as to visually shield or block noise, lights, or other nuisances. Comment: The two basic criteria for buffers are the width of the buffer and the type of material to be planted or installed. In designing buffers, the ordinance should allow flexibility and provide for fences and beams to be used in conjunction with landscaping. Conditional use: A use permitted in a particular zoning district upon showing that such use in a specific location will comply with all the conditions and standards for the location or operation of the use as specified in the zoning ordinance and authorized by the approving agency. Comment: Conditional uses are permitted uses and are appropriate in the zoning district only when all conditions are met. For example, a house of worship may be desirable in a residential area but controls over parking, circulation, setbacks, and landscaping may be needed to prevent them from adversely affecting surrounding residences. By classifying them as conditional uses, separate regulations can be imposed to mitigate the adverse impacts. In some states, conditional uses are classified as special exception uses. In all cases, the conditions must be specific. 1 1 1994. Conditional uses permit A permit issued by the Mayor and Council, with Planning Commission review and an advertised Public Hearing stating that the conditional use meets all conditions set forth in local ordinances. Permits are subject to yearly evaluation, and may be revoked at any time by Mayor and Council. Conditional use permits are only valid for the issued use. ADOPTED THIS DAY OF Mayor James P.
