FROM: Shawn Winter, Planning Director

MEMO DATE: September 30, 2021

SUBJECT:

Public hearing for the consideration of a staff initiated amendment to Section 1320.07 Definitions and Section 1346.01 Uses Allowed to allow for schools, colleges and universities in the C-4 Regional Center District (downtown).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A public hearing will be held to gather input on the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment to allow schools and colleges/universities in the C-4 Regional Center District. After the close of the public hearing and deliberation, if the Planning Commission supports the proposed amendment, then a motion to recommend approval to the City Commission would be appropriate. Overview Multiple educational institutions have expressed interest to City and DDA staff in located an operation in downtown. Public schools are for all intents and purposes exempt from zoning regulations. However, private schools are not and therefore need to be listed as an allowable use in order to operate in a district. Incorporating schools as a use in downtowns does occur in many cities across the state and country, and can provide a number of benefits. Those benefits may include:

• Downtown often becomes an extended classroom – students become helpful and important stewards of the Downtown

• Students contribute to the local workforce • Location is easily accessible – through walking, biking and transit (most

suburban schools are not) • The school becomes a focal point for the community and a neighborhood anchor

– space is often used after school hours for a number of school/community events and activities

• Able to better tap into existing infrastructure • Teen and “Tween” Gen Z kids (ages 10-17), account for $44 billion in

discretionary spending each year. Most is spent on entertainment, food and

Page 15 of 56

Page 16: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

clothing (which we have in Downtown Traverse City) which can assist in economic development.

• Schools would bring people, both students and their parents, downtown throughout the approximately 10-month school calendar, including the winter months when the population and market serving our downtown businesses decline.

• With the ongoing conversation of concentrated alcohol-related businesses downtown, schools would add an additional offering to our balance of uses downtown, one that is not alcohol-related.

Institutions of higher education, such as colleges and universities, share many of the advantages listed above, as well as:

• Serve as a catalyst for commercial, cultural, and creative growth • It’s a benefit for the college – “competitive differentiators”

The zoning ordinance does not currently allow schools in the C-4 district, but does allow them in numerous districts. They are an allowed use in the NMC-1 and NMC-2 districts with no special regulations. They are also allowed through a special land use permit in the R-1a, R-1b, R-2, R-9, R-15, R-29, C-1, C-2, C-3, and GP districts. The special land use regulations for schools in these districts are outlined in Section 1364.08(11):

a. The use is located in an R-1a, R-1b, R-2, R-9, R-15, R-29, C-1, C-2 C-3 or GP district.

b. A Master Site and Facilities Plan is submitted to and approved by the Planning

Commission showing:

a. Existing facilities and planned facilities for the ensuing 5 years. b. Adequate street crossing facilities, pedestrian routes and projected

number of pedestrians.

c. Sufficient areas for motor vehicle and bus circulation routes, together with areas for pick up and drop off of students.

d. If child care use is provided, the facilities for such use shall be designated

in the plan, together with the child care hours of operation.

e. The building and parking area shall not exceed 70 percent of the lot area.

c. A traffic study must be submitted to the Planning Commission. Given the development pattern and form of the built environment in the C-4 district, staff recommends the use be allowed by right as opposed through a special land use permit. This is reinforced through consistency with the master plan, which states the intent of the TC-5 Downtown Neighborhood future land use category as follows:

Page 16 of 56

Page 17: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

The TC-5 Downtown Neighborhood is the most formally and intensely developed of the two types of commercial neighborhoods. The focus is on high intensity, regional, commercial activity. The overall level of intensity generated within the confines of each district in this class of neighborhood tends to be the highest of commercial uses.

In other words, the downtown core is intended for high intensity uses. Furthermore, the C-4 district already allows by right such high intensity uses that often have large numbers of people arriving and departing at similar times without any additional special requirements or approval processes, including auditoriums, convention centers, public markets (e.g. famers markets), places of worship, preschools, theaters, and performance art centers. However, where the addition of schools in the C-4 is viewed as a benefit in providing beneficial diversity to the uses allowed downtown, there is a strong desire to protect the existing the diversity. The small scale retail located on the first floor of the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of East Front Street add a rich value to downtown, yet operate in an industry sector that is at times fragile. For this reason the draft amendment includes a provision for prohibiting the occupation of the first floor on those blocks for instructional or administrative purposes for schools and colleges/universities. Colleges and universities are allowed by right only in the NMC-1 and NMC-2 districts. Proposed Changes Under Section 1320.07 Definitions, the following definitions should be added:

College means A post-secondary institution for higher learning that grants associate or bachelor degrees and may also have research facilities and/or professional schools that grant master and doctoral degrees and not operated for profit. This may also include community colleges and trade schools that grant associate or bachelor degrees or certificates of completion in business or technical fields. University see “College”

Under Section 1346.01 Uses Allowed, the following uses should be added:

• Schools, provided they do not occupy the first floor of the 100, 200 or 300 blocks of East Front Street for instructional or administrative purposes.

• Colleges/Universities, provided they do not occupy the first floor of the 100, 200 or 300 blocks of East Front Street for instructional or administrative purposes.

Questions to Consider

Page 17 of 56

Page 18: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

1. Does the proposed use align with the future land use category for the C-4 District?

2. Would the allowance of schools and colleges/universities in the C-4 district be

detrimental to the other properties in the district?

3. Is it appropriate to prohibit the occupation of schools and colleges/universities from the first floor in the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of East Front Street?

Action If the Planning Commission supports the proposed amendment to include schools and colleges/universities in the C-4 district, as proposed or modified, then an appropriate motion would be: I move that the staff initiated amendment to Section 1320.07 Definitions and Section 1346.01 Uses Allowed, to allow for schools, colleges and universities in the C-4 Regional Center District to recommended to the City Commission for approval.

SchoolsLauren Trible-Laucht <[email protected]> Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 3:43 PMTo: Shawn Winter <[email protected]>, Jean Derenzy <[email protected]>Cc: Cindy Laurell <[email protected]>

Shawn and Jean, You have asked the question whether schools are subject to the City’s zoning regulations and further, whether privateschools are treated the same as public schools for purposes of zoning regulations. The short answer is that publicschools are exempt from zoning regulations and private schools are not exempt. In Charter Twp. of Northville v. Northville Pub. Sch., 469 Mich. 285, 290–91, 666 N.W.2d 213, 216 (2003) the MichiganSupreme Court discussed the reason why public schools are exempt from zoning regulations. “M.C.L. § 380.1263(3) states: The board of a school district shall not design or build a school building to be used for instructional or noninstructionalschool purposes or design and implement the design for a school site unless the design or construction is in compliancewith [M.C.L. §§ 388.851 to 388.855a]. The superintendent of public instruction has sole and exclusive jurisdiction over thereview and approval of plans and specifications for the construction, reconstruction, or remodeling of school buildingsused for instructional or noninstructional school purposes and of site plans for those school buildings. [M.C.L. §380.1263(3) (emphasis supplied).] Of importance is that this subsection vests design and construction oversight authority over the district's decision in thestate superintendent, who has “sole and exclusive jurisdiction....” The first step in construing a statute is to discern legislative intent. To do this requires review of the statutory text adoptedby the Legislature. House Speaker v. State Administrative Bd., 441 Mich. 547, 567, 495 N.W.2d 539 (1993). Ifunambiguous, the Legislature will be presumed to have intended the meaning expressed, and the courts enforce thatmeaning without further judicial construction or interpretation. Grievance Administrator v. Underwood, 462 Mich. 188,193–194, 612 N.W.2d 116 (2000). These rules control the disposition of this matter. We determine that the statute here is unambiguous. It grants sole and exclusive jurisdiction to the state superintendent toreview and approve plans and specifications of school buildings and site plans for those buildings. Thus, what the statesuperintendent approves is immune from the provisions of local zoning ordinances.”

Previously in Lutheran High Sch. Ass'n of Greater Detroit v. City of Farmington Hills, 146 Mich. App. 641, 643, 381N.W.2d 417, 418 (1985) the Court of Appeals held that a parochial school was subject to the zoning ordinance. Subsequent cases indicated that Lutheran High School Ass’n was “overruled” by subsequent legislative amendments ofthe statues at issue in that case. However, the statute relied upon in Northville is applicable only to public schools andtherefore the holding in Northville does not apply to private or parochial schools. I am informed that this issue also arose in the case of City of Flat Rock v. Summit Academy 584 N.W.2d 737 (1998). Inthat case the City sought a Preliminary Injunction in Wayne County Circuit Court seeking to stop the construction of acharter school that did not comply with the city’s zoning ordinances. The Circuit Court denied the request for injunctionboth the Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court denied to take up the case. The case ended there and theCharter School (Summit Academy) was built in Flat Rock without any regard to the zoning requirements of the city as theCourts had ruled zoning regulations did not govern the Charter School. However, the decisions of the Court of Appealsand Michigan Supreme Court are perfunctory orders simply denying the preliminary injunction and providing no analysis. I cannot find any other controlling caselaw that indicates zoning regulations are inapplicable to private schools. Therefore, public schools would be permitted to locate and operate in any zoning district without regard to zoningregulations. Private schools would be subject to zoning regulations though, so if this is a desired use, the zoningordinance should be amended to include. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you’d like to discuss further. Lauren

MEMO DATE: September 30, 2021

SUBJECT:

Consideration of a request received from Cambium Analytica for a formal text amendment request to allow for "Marihuana Safety Compliance Facilities" in the C-4 district (for introduction and to set a Public hearing).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Planning Department has received a formal text amendment application from Marc. Mckeller II, attorney for Cambium Analytica, to amend Chapter 1346 C-4 Regional Center Districts, Section 1346.01 Uses Allowed, to include “marihuana safety compliance facility or medical marihuana safety compliance facility” with associated regulations as a use by right in the district. The Planning Commission is being asked to review the application and set a public hearing. Overview Cambium Analytica is an existing cannabis testing facility located at 1230 Woodmere, in the I – Industrial District. They have quickly outgrown their existing space and are looking for a new location and have expressed interest in a downtown location. However, the marihuana safety compliance facility or medical marihuana safety compliance facility use is only allowed in the I – Industrial District. Like many communities, the City limited the use to this district due to its perceived similarities with other industrial uses the district is intended for. As a new industry there was a lot of unknowns, and as such there may have been a misperception of the use and its impacts. The Planning Department staff has had the opportunity to speak with elected officials and other staff who have visited the applicant’s current site and have come to the understanding that the use is less industrial in nature and more akin to an office space with a science lab. The facility tests small amounts of cannabis using highly sophisticated equipment. Large quantities of cannabis and cash are not stored on site, and the operation does not produce effluent odors.

Allowing the use in the C-4 District could provide the opportunity to replace office workers downtown that now have different work arrangements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Daytime office workers provide a consistent market to help support the restaurants and retail establishments downtown. Furthermore, this particular use would result in well-paid year-round jobs that are not dependent as seasonal fluctuations in the tourist market. Proposed Changes The applicant has requested the following text be added to Section 1346.01 Use Allowed:

• Marihuana safety compliance facility or medical marihuana safety compliance facility meeting the following requirements: (1) The facility and use shall comply at all times with the Michigan Medical

Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, the Codified Ordinances of the City of Traverse City, and the rules promulgated pursuant to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act and the Codified Ordinances of the City of Traverse City, as they may be amended from time to time;

(2) Except for regulatory authorities, no persons other than the person holding a license under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, and a permit under the applicable Codified Ordinances of the City of Traverse City or staff of the facility, shall be permitted within the marihuana safety compliance facility when marihuana is being processed;

(3) No use or consumption of marihuana shall be allowed at the marihuana facility;

(4) A marihuana safety compliance facility shall not be located within a 1,000-foot radius from any existing school;

(5) An owner or operator of a marihuana safety compliance facility shall not have been convicted of a felony involving controlled substances within the last 10 years;

(6) The marihuana safety compliance facility shall have at all times a valid and current operating license issued by the State and permit issued by the City of Traverse City under the applicable Codified Ordinances of the City of Traverse City;

(7) All activities of a marihuana safety compliance facility shall be conducted within the building and out of public view;

(8) The smell of marihuana shall not be detectable outside of the portion of any structure where marihuana is present;

This is the same language used in the I – Industrial District to regulate this use. Given the recent discussions about protecting the retail diversity of the 100 and 200 blocks of

Page 24 of 56

Page 25: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

East Front Street, the Planning Commission may want to consider adding an additional requirement prohibiting the safety compliance facility use from occupying the first floor of those blocks. The applicant has provided a narrative and exhibits for additional consideration. Requested Action The Planning Commission is being asked to review this request and set a public hearing date. An appropriate motion for consideration is: I move that the formal text amendment request received from Cambium Analytica to allow for "Marihuana Safety Compliance Facilities" in the C-4 Regional Center District be introduced and set for Public hearing on Wednesday, November 3, 2021.

(2) Except for regulatory authorities, no persons other than the person holding alicense under the Michigan MedicalMarihuana FacilitiesLicensing Act, MichiganRegulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, and a permit under the applicableCodi?ed Ordinances of the City of Traverse City or staff of the facility, shall bepermitted within the marihuanasafety compliance facility when marihuana is beingprocessed;

(3) No use or consumption of marihuana shall be allowed at the marihuana facility;

(4) A marihuana safety compliance facility shall not be located within a ,00O-footradius from any existing school;

(5) An owner or operator of a marihuana safety compliance facility shall not havebeen convicted of a felony involving controlled substanceswithin the last 10 years;

(6) The marihuana safety compliance facility shall have at all times a Valid andcurrent operating license issued by the State and permit issued by the City ofTraverse City under the applicable Codified Ordinances of the City of TraverseCity;

(7) All activities of a marihuana safety compliance facility shall be conductedwithin the building and out of public view;

(8) The smell of marihuana shall not be detectable outside of the portion of anystructure where marihuana is present.

The proposed use does not rise to the level of intensity which is common with industrialuses. There is no product for sale, no warehousing, only samplings necessary for testing. It is akinto any other laboratory whether medical, scientific or water. These types of uses are more in linewith business and commercial districts. That is why Labs are often permitted in such zoningdistricts in the vast majority of Michigan zoning ordinances.For example, the use is permitted inthe Village of Kalkaska in the medical district, regional commercial district and the light industrialand ware house district, see Exhibit A attached. The City of Bay City permits such use in theneighborhood business district, general business district, highway business district, centralbusiness district, light industrial district, and, general industrial district, see Exhibit B. The Cityof Manistee permits the use in its regional commercial district, light industrial district and generalindustrial district, see Exhibit C.

The Applicant’s request is in line with the vast majority of municipalities and meets theintent of the City’s zoning ordinance. With the change, the City can still provide the sameprotections of health, safety and welfare to the community while affording commercial actives theability to operate within the commercial district, this is done by proper and reasonable protections.

Protections that the City has already developed in the language above. Consequently, theApplication requests that the City adopt its request and amend the City’s zoning ordinanceaccordingly.

Cambium Analytica (“Cambium”) is a Safety Compliance Facility licensed by theMichigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency and the City of Traverse City to perform testing servicesfor Michigan’s licensed cannabis producers. They are a necessary part of the supply chain, as allproducts-—including ?ower, edibles, and distillates—are required to undergo strict healthscreening. Theirjob is to ensure that all products are clear of contaminates and other health hazardsbefore they reach the consumer.

Cambium began as a staitup in 2018, and of?cially opened its doors for testing services inMarch of 2020. Cambium initially began with a team of ten (10) individuals——mainlyanalyticalchemists and microbiologists. Cambium currently occupies the building located at 1230Woodmere Avenue; a 7,500 square foot facility located at the southern border of Traverse City.

The Cambium team largely consists of chemists, biologists, and data analysts. They havesuccessfully been able to recruit STEM candidates from around the country to work and live inTraverse City. From a day—to-dayperspective, our science team prepares and tests samples forsafety and health compliance, as well as quality assurance/control. Their work largely consists ofrunning analytical tests through sophisticated equipment and reviewing the data generated fromthose tests.

As a service provider, Cambium has virtually no consumer traffic. Cambium does notrequire use of heavy machinery and does not act as a warehouse. Further, Cambium’s testingservices do not result in the emission of fugitive noxious odors and production of loud sounds.Simply put, Cambium is otherwise unnoticeable from an operational perspective.

Since opening, Cambium has become the largest safety compliance testing facility inMichigan (testing services by volume). As a result, the Cambium team has grown from its initialteam often (10) to forty—?ve(45) as of the date of this letter. Cambium expects to employ upwardsof fifty (50) individuals by year’s end.

Consequently, the current facility is inadequate to support our growth trend. As the facilityis located at the southern border of Traverse City, municipality restrictions prevent an expansionof the existing building.

1346.09 Special requirements.

To preserve and reinforce the context of historic buildings and land to establish development patterns of the Regional Center District, all new buildings and additions to existing buildings are to be designed and constructed in accordance with the following standards:

(1) The predominant building wall and entryway shall face the public or private street. (2) Unless determined to be impractical by the Planning Director, the building width shall

not be less than 90 percent of the property width at the street. (3) Vertical building modulation shall be used to add variety and interest and to make a

large building appear to be an aggregation of smaller units. Relief from a continuous street facing wall may be achieved with wall offsets in combination with pilasters, corbeling or other permanent architectural elements; however, offsets in any wall shall not be less than 8 inches from the subject plane.

(4) Horizontal building modulation, like awnings, balconies and roof features shall be used to reduce the perceived mass of a large building.

(5) Fenestration, cornices and other architectural elements incorporated in new buildings or additions to existing buildings shall be in context with historic buildings in the area.

(6) Window glass planes shall be recessed at least 4 inches from the outside of all building walls to create a shadow line except in bay windows and to other projecting window elements.

(7) Clear or lightly tinted transparent glass shall be used for all windows facing a public street. Decorative stained glass may be used for accents. Mirrored, smoked and darkly tinted glass is prohibited.

(8) New buildings and additions to existing buildings, including parking structures, shall be constructed of durable materials utilizing the predominant building materials of traditional brick and stone used in the Regional Center District or constructed of materials of comparable aesthetic value.

(9) Any rooftop equipment shall be enclosed or screened from street level view using the same materials used for the building walls or a material which is approved by the Planning Director as visually compatible with the building. All utility meters and wall or ground mounted mechanical equipment, such as HVAC systems, shall be limited to the rear third of the parcel, unless determined impractical by the Planning Director.

Page 42 of 56

Page 43: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

(10) Except for buildings that are solely residential, windows or street level activities are required on 50 percent of the first story street wall facing any public street. Street level activities include public display space, public atriums, pedestrian entrances and exterior circulation.

(11) For each 90 feet of linear building frontage, pedestrian entrances are required. Pedestrian entrances may open onto the sidewalk or mid-block passages or walkways leading to the public right-of-way. Entries must be prominently identified and must not interfere with safe pedestrian passage along walkways. Primary entries must set back a minimum 4 feet from the property line.

(12) All buildings that front the street, except for parking structures, accessory and utility buildings and buildings that are intended and designed to be exclusively developed for residential use shall have a minimum height of 14 feet measured from the street level entrance level to the next finished level or roof structure. The Planning Director may grant a first floor building height exception if it has been clearly demonstrated that such provision is unnecessary or that such requirements would create a practical difficulty, as contrasted merely granting an advantage or convenience.

(13) Dumpsters or trash receptacles exterior to a building shall be placed in the rear yard, on private property, screened with a wall not less than the height of the dumpster or trash receptacle and be constructed of similar materials used for the exterior of the building.

(14) Buildings on corner lots or on lots with a front loaded driveway shall have a clipped or recessed corner for the height of the first floor level if the building facade is within 20 feet of the street or driveway/street intersection. These building corners shall be recessed at least 5 feet from the planes of the building if such building is located less than 20 feet from the edge of street or driveway intersection. See diagram below.

Memorandum

TO: City Planning Commission

COPY:

FROM: Shawn Winter, Planning Director

MEMO DATE: September 30, 2021

SUBJECT:

Consideration of a request received from Richard Weaver to rezone the property commonly known as 630 W. Fourteenth Street from a C-1 Office Service District to a C-2 Neighborhood Center District (for introduction and to set a Public hearing).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Please see the attached report by Shawn Winter, Planning Director, providing an overview of the rezoning request.

10.05.21

Page 1 of 9

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the property at 630 W Fourteenth Street from C-1 Office Service District to C-2 Neighborhood Center District. This request is consistent with the Traverse City Master Plan (2017) and the Corridors Master Plan (2013) for the adopted vision of redevelopment of the Fourteenth Street corridor. Upon review of the application, the Planning Commission is asked to make a motion to introduce the request a schedule a public hearing. PROPERTY INFORMATION:

Address: 630 West Fourteenth St

Parcel No.: 28-51-834-104-00

Owner(s): Richard Weaver

Applicant: Richard Weaver

Area: 1.25 acres

Current Zoning / Land Use: C-1 Office Service District Vacant office space and extensive parking. Former 5/3 Bank location. Approximately 4,000 square foot office building

Surrounding Zoning / Land Use:

North: R1b: Place of worship, single family dwelling

East: C-2: Commercial retail establishment

South: C-3: Financial institution, Commercial Establishments R-2: Single family homes

West: GTC: undeveloped portion of the Grand Traverse Commons

Aerial Map:

ZONING AND LAND USE: The subject property is zoned C-1: Office Service District and contain an approximately 4,000 square foot vacant office building that is the site of the former 5/3 Bank. The site also contains a large parking lot with

Page 46 of 56

Page 47: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

Traverse City Planning Department Shawn Winter, Planning Director

10.05.21

Page 2 of 9

approximately 17 parking spaces and ingress/egress routes for a former drive through. The property has a curb cut located on Maple Street on the east side and one on Griffin Street on the northwest corner of the property. The properties to the north are zoned R-1b Single Family Dwelling District with the majority of the land to north occupied by a place of worship on the opposite side of Griffin Street. A large shopping center is to the south Zoned C-3 Community Center District and includes Tom’s Market, Rite Aid, TCF Bank and a laundromat. The properties to the east along both sides of Fourteenth St are zoned C-2 and include the 7/11, the shops in Hickory Corners and 14th Street Plaza, with more commercial establishment east along the corridor. All the land uses along Fourteenth Street in the vicinity of the subject property are one-story commercial structures.

FUTURE LAND USE: The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in the Master Plan shows the property sits within the TC-4 Corridor Neighborhood along with the rest of the properties along Fourteenth St. The description in the Master Plan for these FLUM neighborhood types is as follows:

The TC-4 Corridor Neighborhood is the least formally developed of the two types of commercial neighborhoods. The focus is on commercial innovation. The overall level of intensity generated within the confines of each district in this class of neighborhood tends to be the lower of commercial uses.

The subject property is the one of only two properties zoned C-1 along the corridor, the other being the State Police Building. The other commercial properties are zoned C-2 and C-3. It is unique in that C-1 is the least intense commercial district, which essentially does not allow retail, yet that is the zoning designation of this property situated at a highly visible corner.

The Corridors Master Plan (2013) further describes an adopted vision for this property and the Fourteenth Street corridor. The map below designates the location of the subject property as the West End with the following character of future development:

West End: The west end of Fourteenth Street is a busy commercial area, activated by traffic along Division and Fourteenth and activity generators such as Tom’s Market and Thirlby Field. As a gateway to the City, development should be attractive and help us shape a positive perception of the community. Commercial uses should cater to nearby residents and passing motorists. This area should be positioned to maximize its potential as a major commercial node by encouraging larger scale compressive development. However, this type of development would require property assemblage, which is complicated by small parcel sizes and multiple property owners. Buildings should be one to three stories in height, although depending on use, four to five stories could be appropriate to catalyze a larger redevelopment effort. Built Form: Large and mid-scale commercial buildings with strong visual impacts. Although serving motorists, properties should also be accessible to pedestrians. Assembling smaller parcels into larger development lots is desirable when possible. Parking: Parking should be behind the buildings. Height: 1 – 3 stories, although 4 – 5 stories could be appropriate on prominent properties. Uses: High activity, destination commercial uses. Residential is not desired on the ground floor due to the area’s role as a gateway.

The map below from the Corridors Master Plan (2013) more specifically prescribes the future of the subject location with the following narrative:

2. The Fifth-Third Bank building is oriented awkwardly with a long linear parking lot and drive-thru consuming valuable street frontage along Fourteenth Street. Reconfiguring the lot and drive-thru would allow for development on the east end of the site of a new convenience, retail, or service commercial use that compliments the surrounding neighborhood. Parking for the new development should be shared with the bank and screened from Fourteenth Street with a low masonry wall and landscaping.

The requested C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District would better align with the vision and goals of both the aforementioned plans. ZONING DISTRICT COMPARISON: The applicant has expressed desire to build a mixed use development on the property containing first floor retail and upper story residential, while maintaining the recently renovated existing office space. However, the developer is not beholden to this vision should the property be rezoned and therefore it is important to keep in

mind that all uses under the proposed C-2 zoning classification would be allowed. The following tables summarize the zoning standards for comparison:

Standard C-1: Office Service District

Intent

The Office Service (C-1) District is for the purpose of accommodating residentially scaled commercial buildings. A variety of low intensity uses designed to integrate with adjacent residential areas. Uses permitted generally generate low to moderate trips. Existing residential structures are intended to be preserved and adaptively reused without substantially altering the appearance of building exteriors. New structures, signs and lighting should be sensitive and respectful to adjacent residential properties.

(4) Unless determined to be impractical by the Planning Director, the building width shall not be less than 80 percent of the property width at the street.

(5) Vertical building modulation shall be used to add variety and interest and to make a large building appear to be an aggregation of smaller units. Relief from a continuous street facing wall may be achieved with wall offsets in combination with pilasters, corbeling or other permanent architectural elements, however, offsets in any wall shall not be less than 8 inches from the subject plane.

(6) Window glazing shall be recessed from the outside of all building walls. (7) Clear or lightly tinted transparent glass shall be used for all windows facing a public street.

Decorative stained glass may be used for accents. Mirrored, smoked and darkly tinted glass is prohibited.

(8) Street-facing building facades shall incorporate permanent architectural elements which create shadow patterns and surface textures which, in turn, enhance visual interest.

(9) Except for buildings that are solely residential, windows or street level activities are required on 50 percent of the first story street wall facing any public street. Street level activities include public display space, public atriums, pedestrian entrances and interior circulation and windows with views into any designated street level use.

Pedestrian entrances may open onto the sidewalk or mid-block passages or walkways leading to the public right-of-way. Entries must be prominently identified and must not interfere with safe pedestrian passage along walkways. Primary entries must set back a minimum 4 feet from the facade, however the Planning Director may reduce or waive this requirement if no pedestrian zone conflicts are identified by the placement of the building.

(11) The spacing and shape of windows and openings on the building shall closely reflect the fenestration of any adjacent historic buildings. Brick, stone, wood or a combination thereof, compatible with adjacent historic buildings, shall be used.

(12) Fenestration, cornices and other primarily horizontal architectural elements incorporated in new buildings or additions to existing buildings shall be in context with historic buildings in the area.

(13) Any rooftop equipment shall be enclosed or screened from street level view using the same materials used for the building walls or a material which is approved by the Planning Director as visually compatible with the building.

(14) All buildings that front the street, except for parking structures, accessory and utility buildings and buildings that are intended and designed to be exclusively developed for residential use shall have a minimum height of 14 feet measured from the street level entrance level to the next finished level or roof structure. The Planning Director may grant a first floor building height exception if it has been clearly demonstrated that such provision is unnecessary or that such requirements would create a practical difficulty, as contrasted merely granting an advantage or convenience.

(15) Buildings on corner lots or on lots with a front loaded driveway shall have a clipped or recessed corner for the height of the first floor level if the building facade is within 20 feet of the street or driveway/street intersection. These building corners shall be recessed at least 5 feet from the planes of the building if such building is located less than 20 feet from the edge of street or driveway intersection.

Intent

The Neighborhood Center district is for the purpose of accommodating small businesses primarily serving adjacent neighborhoods with day-to-day retail goods and services. These small centers are comprised of residentially-scaled buildings with limited parking areas and a strong pedestrian orientation. Existing buildings and quality vegetation should be retained. New buildings are to be designed to reflect a residential flavor and minimize impacts (e.g., noise, light, traffic) on neighborhood residences. Overall density of up to 29 dwellings per acre is allowed.

See diagram below.

* Some uses have applicable limitations in the zoning ordinance

The development pattern allowed under C-2 is not significantly different than those of C-1. However, the allowed uses under C-2 would better allow for the desired redevelopment of the location as prescribed in the Traverse City Master Plan (2017) and the Corridors Master Plan (2013). ANALYSIS OF REQUEST: Rezonings are legislative decisions and should be based on sound planning principles. The following questions have traditionally been provided to the Planning Commission for consideration of rezoning requests. Points and information have been provided to help facilitate the discussion.

1. Is the current C-1: Office Services District reasonable for the land and location?

The current zoning is not consistent with the vision, goals, and objectives for this location in the Traverse City Master Plan (2017) or the Corridors Master Plan (2013).

Page 53 of 56

Page 54: Traverse City Planning Commission Regular Meeting

Traverse City Planning Department Shawn Winter, Planning Director

10.05.21

Page 9 of 9

Limitations under the current zoning exist that prevent desired commercial uses at the location and along the Fourteenth Street corridor.

2. Is the rezoning request consistent with the goals and policies of the future land use plan of the Master

Plan?

The request is consistent with the future land use map and designated neighborhood type given its location at the corner of Division and Fourteenth Streets.

The request to rezone to C-2 would allow a land use pattern and a mix of uses that will have greater opportunity of implementing the Traverse City Master Plan (2017) and the Corridors Master Plan (2013).

3. Would the parcel size and environmental conditions accommodate C-2: Neighborhood Center District

uses?

The current lot size exceed the minimum area and width of the requested C-2 zoning classification.

The property is appropriate for allowed development under the C-2 zoning classification given the environmental characteristics that exist. The property is flat, has no wetlands, and is currently developed with a small office building with an extensive parking area.

Staff is awaiting feedback from the Grand Traverse County Brownfield Authority regarding potential environmental hazards that may be on the property.

4. Are the uses allowed in the proposed zoning district compatible with the surrounding uses?

The rezoning from a C-1 to C-2 zoning classification would be consistent with the zoning and uses currently along the corridor.

The additional uses allowed by the C-2 zoning classification align with the Traverse City Master Plan (2017) and Corridors Master Plan (2013).

5. Are there adequate utilities and capacity on the adjacent streets to serve the site?

Staff has contacted Traverse City Light & Power and the Department of Municipal Utilities on this item and is awaiting a response. None are anticipated given the property and corridor is already developed. Future development would be evaluated in terms of utilities on a case by case basis.

6. Are there sufficient demands for additional C-2: Neighborhood Center District allowable uses?

An identified goal of the City is to redevelop the Fourteenth Street corridor, both in terms of streetscape additional development/redevelopment. The C-2 zoning classification will allow the desired uses for this location along the corridor.

Under Section 1320.04 of the Traverse City Code of Ordinances, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on rezoning requests, following the procedures contained within, and make a recommendation to the City Commission. The following suggested motion is provided for consideration: I move that the request initiated by Richard Weaver, owner and applicant, to rezone property commonly known as 630 W Fourteenth Street from C-1: Office Services District to C-2: Neighborhood Center District be introduced and scheduled for a public hearing for the Planning Commission regular meeting on November 3, 2021.
