Sea Level Rise Fact Sheet Ms. Ducey-Ortiz stated that the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission (MPPDC) had produced a sea level rise fact sheet. She said that many localities along the east coast are concerned about sea level rise. She added that since the fact sheet provided local data staff provided it to the Commissioners as a reference since this issue is included in the Comprehensive Plan Update. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said the sea level rise is a big issue for the military facilities and that Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) is working with all localities on this issue. B. Courthouse Village Sub-Area Plan-Steering Committee Ms. Ducey-Ortiz reminded the Planning Commission that the Main Street Preservation Trust (MSPT) had approached the Board of Supervisors about sponsoring a Court House Village Sub- Area plan. She explained that this plan would be similar to the Gloucester Point Hayes sub-area plan. She added that this effort would need two Planning Commissioners on the Steering Committee, and that ideally they would live or work in the Ware district. She stated that the committee would include two members of the Board of Supervisors and could also have alternates from the Planning Commission. She informed the Commission that Milt Herd had been contracted by MSPT as the consultant for this project. She said that she would like the County to adopt this plan as an addendum to the Comprehensive Plan. She asked the Commissioners to contact Ms. Johnson and the Planning Department if they are interested in serving on this subcommittee. Ms. Johnson asked for an estimate of the time commitment for serving on this committee. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that the appointment will be for two years, although the consultant is only contracted for one year. She added that the committee would not begin until March or April 2012 after the Comprehensive Plan has been completed. She added that her projection would be that the committee would meet at least once a month. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz thanked Mr. Rodgers for being an active member of the Commission by challenging staff with difficult questions. She said that she hoped he would stay involved as a citizen. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz alerted the public that if they were interested in serving on the Steering Committee, Planning Commission or any other committee that the Board of Supervisors uses, they should submit their information through the Volunteer Board Bank which is found online or by calling the Community Education Department. 5381

Rezoning fits in with the Land Use Plan In the Gloucester Point village center; Ashe Villa provides the some of the desired sense of place and community character in this village center. Rezoning fits in with the sub-area plan Identified as a village mixed use district No transportation or environmental impact No fiscal impact Though this property is zoned as a commercial property, it is being taxed residential. No hospitality or sales taxes were ever collected. Slide 15 It is Staff s recommendation that the Planning Commission forward the application for the rezoning of Tax Map parcel #51A-(12)-A to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for Approval. End of PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Little alerted the Commission that Mr. Forrest was in attendance. Dr. Belvin asked Mr. Forrest if he would like to add anything to the discussion. Mr. Forrest declined, but stated that Mr. Little had given a good presentation. 5385

8 Dr. Belvin opened the floor for public comment, there being none this portion of the meeting was closed. He opened the floor to the commissioners for discussion. Mr. Winebarger offered a motion that this rezoning be sent to the Board of Supervisors with recommendation for approval. Mr. McVey seconded the motion. Mr. Richardson asked if staff had considered the potential of a subdivision of this property. Mr. Little responded that this property would not be sub-dividable because the minimum lot size in SF-1 zoning district is two acres. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz clarified that the two acres would be required without public water and sewer. Mr. Richardson asked if this property had public water or sewer. Mr. Little stated that it is on public water, but not public sewer. Mr. Richardson asked about the acreage in regards to road frontage. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz explained that if a property had public water and sewer it would be 2 units per acre. Mr. Richardson said that his concern would be for the future. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz clarified that if the rezoning was approved that any future subdivision would be by-right, therefore it would have to meet all the requirements including public water and sewer. She added that the current owners have no intention of using this beautiful piece of property commercially. She continued that this property is in the transitional zone in the Gloucester Point Hayes Sub-area Plan, which does provide some opportunities for future development. The motion to forward Z Rezoning Application from B-1 (conditional) to SF-1 to the Board of Supervisors with recommendation for approval was passed by the following roll call vote; Mr. Rodgers-yes, Mr. Strawn-yes, Mr. Winebarger-yes, Mr. Andersen-yes, Colonel Arnold-yes, Mr. Bazzani-yes, Mr. Dame-yes, Mr. Holthaus-yes, Ms. Johnson- yes, Mr. McVeyyes, Mr. Richardson-yes, Dr. Belvin-yes, with Mr. Crewe-absent.

In addition, after the large planning effort done for the Gloucester Point/Hayes VDA, we not only heard from the community that this is a use they want more of, we also noted that where it is currently permitted, it is by special exception. Staff researched the existing wellness/fitness centers in the county. Some received special exceptions and some did not. None have any history of complaints from neighbors or code violations. Currently the use wellness and fitness centers is grouped with Recreation and amusement enterprises This includes uses such as bowling alleys, night clubs, and ice/roller rinks, driving ranges, amusement parks, and sports arenas. 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 3 Slide 4 Existing Conditions Require a Special Exception BZA public hearing $275 Time Conditions- B-1: Activities shall be conducted at least 500 feet from any residential district, All equipment and machinery shall be operated and maintained in such a manner as to minimize dust, noise, odor, and vibration. B-2 & B-4: U The BZA may impose any additional requirements it may deem necessary for the protection, health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the county. The use requires a special exception application before the BZA. This includes additional costs and time and potentially conditions associated with review of the application. 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing

10 Slide 5 Proposed Changes Remove Wellness and fitness centers from the definition for Recreation and amusement enterprises The proposed changes begin with separating the use wellness and fitness center from recreation and amusement enterprises 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 5 Slide 6 Proposed Changes Remove indoor 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 6 Slide 7 Proposed Changes Create a definition specifically for Wellness and fitness center A new definition was created by using research from other localities and determining what would work with our ordinance. 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 7 Slide 8 Proposed Changes Add the use Wellness and fitness center in the B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4 districts Proposed adding the use to each of the business districts based on compatibility with existing uses permitted in the districts. 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing

11 Slide 9 Slide 10 Impacts of Amendment Separates the uses, creating a new definition for Wellness and fitness centers Allows uses meeting the definition for Wellness and fitness centers to locate within the B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4 districts by-right Removes requirement for application before the BZA for Special Exception 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 9 The definition for recreation and amusement enterprises is quite broad and included uses that should require a case by case review for compatibility as well as those such as wellness and fitness centers. By more specifically defining the use and allowing it in the business districts, the Special Exception requirement is removed, saving applicants time and money. Based on the existing examples in the county (those with and without the special exception) it appears to be a good fit in these districts. If there are no questions for staff, you may open the public hearing. Questions for staff? 12/1/2011 Planning Commission Public Hearing 10 End of PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Winebarger asked if this code amendment would allow the applicant at York River Crossing to continue without going to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). Ms. Gibson explained that this is a broad definition and if a use fits, it would remove the special exception requirement for wellness and fitness centers. She added this would potentially save the applicant the application costs and the time associated with the hearing. She stated that the attorney for York River Crossing/Hayes Development was in attendance. Mr. Raymond H. Suttle, Jr. asked that the Planning Commission approve staff s recommendation. He added that staff did a good presentation. Dr. Belvin opened the hearing up to public comments. There being none this portion of the hearing was closed. There was a discussion regarding the effect of striking the word indoor from the current definition. Colonel Arnold moved that the changes to the code be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for consideration with a recommendation of approval, seconded by Mr. Dame, and carried by the following roll call vote; Mr. Strawn-yes, Mr. Winebarger-yes, Mr. Andersen-yes, Colonel Arnold-yes, Mr. Bazzani-yes, Mr. Dame-yes, Mr. Holthaus-yes, Ms. Johnson- yes, Mr. McVey yes, Mr. Richardson-yes, Mr. Rodgers-yes, Dr. Belvin-yes, with Mr. Crewe-absent. 5389

Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that she has requested that a Planning Commission/Comprehensive Plan work session be added to the Board of Supervisors 2012 schedule. Mr. Richardson said that with four new members on the Board he felt a dedicated meeting would be important. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that she agreed. She said that her suggestion was to have an interactive meeting at the library, with a presentation and an overview. She said that the Commissioners would be able to provide feedback on why certain items were in the chapters. Dr. Belvin asked if there was a consensus. Mr. Bazzani made a motion that a request be made to the Board of Supervisors for a joint work session with the Planning Commission, seconded by Mr. Dame, and carried by a unanimous voice vote, with one (1) being absent. Dr. Belvin asked if there was some documentation that would help the next group reviewing the Comprehensive Plan in five years. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that she would like to implement- approximately two years before the beginning of the review- a process a where a subcommittee looks to see which chapters need to be updated with new information or development. She added that State Code requires localities to review the Comprehensive Plan every five years, but that does not necessarily mean it has to be updated. She continued that only portions of the Plan may need to be updated. She stated 5392

15 that her long term goal would be to have a staff member dedicated to plans such as this and the subarea plan. 2. Next Chapter to be distributed Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that much work had been done on the Community Facilities chapter, but much more still needed to be completed. She said that one of the missing items is Information Technology. She explained that each year the Department of Information Technology submits a substantial capital improvement list and this is something the County has strong feelings about. She informed the Commission that all Board of Supervisors members now have ipads. She asked that Commissioners to give constructive criticism and feedback on the chapter. Dr. Belvin asked that Commissioners review and comment on the Community Facilities chapter by January 3, APPLICATIONS BEFORE THE COMMISSION IN JANUARY There being none this portion of the meeting was closed. STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Ducey-Ortiz alerted the Commission that Mr. Crewe s, December 12, 2011 meeting had been canceled. She thanked him for his efforts especially with Gloucester Point/Hayes Village Area Development Plan. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that staff is working with the County Attorney on an ordinance to implement the Gloucester Point/Hayes Village Area Development Plan. She added that staff is trying to do something a little different and Mr. Wilmot is concerned about some of the ideas and working with staff to try to legally incorporate them. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz explained that she had researched Mr. Richardson s comment about Commissioner s term expiration dates. She verified that in 2012 two members from the York district would expire. She told the Commission that in 2004 the Board of Supervisors established terms to all expire June 30, but consideration of the districts were not part of this. She said the only way to change this would be for the Board of Supervisors to redo the appointments. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that staff is working with the MPPDC on a rural transportation plan. She said upon completion it will be provided to the Commission for review and will be incorporated into the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that she would be attending a meeting regarding new software similar to the software that Ms. Gibson previewed at last month s meeting. She explained that this would help with taking minutes, but the Commission would have to be comfortable with the shortened format. 5393

16 Ms. Ducey-Ortiz reminded the Commission of the HRPDC s military commuter survey. She asked that the Commissioners pass the survey to anyone they know that commutes to a military facility. She explained that the military is very concerned about the impact of transportation on their facilities. Mr. Richardson suggested contacting the school system because they send out a yearly form asking parents if they are government employees. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz thanked him for this idea. COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS Mr. Richardson asked if there was a procedure that would alert the Commissioner of Revenue s office of a rezoning so properties are taxed properly. He said there seemed to be a breakdown in communication in the 2001 Ashe Villa rezoning. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that there is a procedure and when the property was rezoned, the Commissioner s office was made aware of it. She thought Mr. Forrest had petitioned the Commissioner s office because he was not using this home in a commercial capacity. She asked that Mr. Forrest respond. Mr. Forrest said that when he purchased the home he was not aware it was zoned commercial and did not learn about it until the reassessment process. He said that he went to the equalization board and was granted the reduction. He added that the property is nonconforming and he would not be able to rebuild if something happened to his home. Mr. Richardson said that nonconformity has become an issue that can prevent refinancing. Mr. Richardson said that he had spoken to Charles Records and noted that he was not aware that the upriver crossing was dropped from the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that it is in the current Comprehensive Plan, but that she was told the decision was made to improve the Coleman Bridge in lieu of pursuing the upriver crossing. She said that the Long Range Transportation Plan indicates that eventually Route 17 will be widened from the Coleman Bridge to the Courthouse. She added that she has not seen the final report, but the Board of Supervisors decided that the benefits of another crossing we not significant enough based on the cost. She stated that York County has removed this idea from their Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Richardson said that when it was put in the current plan everyone knew it was not coming, but the ideas was if it is not in the plan, then Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) would never consider it in their long range plans. He added that the same holds true for the parallel access roads to Route 17. He said that he felt the Commission should consider keeping it as a long range goal with no timeframe. 5394

17 Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that it was removed from the plan revision, but can be added back in if the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors would like. Dr. Belvin said that staff has consensus from the Commission on the alternate North-South route to 17. He said that this would be a long process, but should be a priority. He said that the alternate crossing could be a tunnel and even a commercial entity. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that it can be included at least in terms of the language and once it is mapped you must consider where it is going and get the other locality onboard. Mr. Bazzani said that he has reviewed the last five years of the Coleman Bridge s financials and was wondering if the County is going to reassess the amount commuters are charged. He asked where the excess money was going. Ms. Ducey-Ortiz said that the Board of Supervisors annually petitions the General Assembly to remove the toll. Mr. Rodgers said that he agreed with Mr. Richardson that connectivity should remain a priority. He offered a word of thanks for the kindness he had received since announcing his resignation. He reminded the Commissioners that the only way to get public input would be to get out and talk to the public. He stated that the Planning Department is understaffed. He finished by stating that he enjoyed working with staff and Commission and hated to have to resign. Dr. Belvin thanked the Commissioners for their support during his tenure as chair. He said that he enjoyed the opportunity. He added that staff had been very efficient. ADJOURNMENT A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Rodgers and seconded by Mr. Dame, carried by a unanimous voice vote, with one (1) being absent. The meeting adjourned at 8:33 P.M. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Gloucester Planning Commission will be held on Thursday, January 5, 2011 at 7:30 P. M. in the Colonial Courthouse, 6504 Main Street, Gloucester, Virginia.
