Warkis Knuk 10 Staff Report to Planning and Zoning Board Agenda Item: IV.A December 5, 2023 Issue: UDOT Text Amendment: City staff has drafted an amendment to Article 4: "Dimensional Requirements" of the UDO to provide a potential density bonus for the cueveopmen/converson of existing nonresidential buildings to multi-family residential housing. Background: City staff has met with the new owner (Spark Rock, LLC) of the former Woods Warehouse located at 511 S. Hancock Street regarding possible redevelopment plans for the property. The property has been vacant for many years; and a habitual public nuisance for City Code Enforcement because vagrants frequently occupy the building. The subject property is zoned Highway Business (B-3). The new owner isir interested in renovating the warehouse space for multi-family residential development which is allowed as a special use in the B-3 zone. The problem with this concept, however, is the City's density allowances for multi-family development are too restrictive to make the project anywhere near financially viable. The City's maximum allowable density for multi-family development in all the zones that allow multi-family is 8.29 units per acre (5,250 square feet of lot area for each unit). The subject property on which the warehouse is located is 0.9 acres in area; thus the maximum allowable density for the property under current zoning regulations is seven (7) units. Based on Richmond County tax records, the warehouse is 36,333 square feet in size (occupies most of the lot area), which is enough space to accommodate many more units than seven. The expected rent generated from only seven units does not justify the cost of converson/renovation according to the property owner, and City staff agrees. Therefore, City staff has initiated the proposed text amendment in an attempt to facilitate the property It should be noted that the density issue is not the only problem the property owner will have to overcome with redeveloping the 511 S. Hancock Street site. The ability to provide on-site parking is very limited. The property owner is aware the City will not approve any redevelopment plan for the site that is not in substantial compliance with the City parking regulations in terms of number of spaces provided. The owner is exploring the potential for leased and/or purchased property in close proximity to the site to redevelopment. accommodate the parking needs for the redevelopment. Staff Comments: 1. The proposed amendment will create a new Section 4.10 under Article 4 in the City's UDO. Acopy oft the proposed amendment is included in the agenda packet for the Board's review. 2. As indicated in the proposed amendment, a density bonus is only allowed for existing nonresidential buildings in those zoning districts that allow multi-family residential uses; and such density bonus is only allowed as a special use approved by the Board of Adjustment on a case-by-case basis. The density bonus may be up to a 500 percent increase above that allowed in Section 4.01 of the UDO. 3. The proposed amendment will require substantial compliance with parking regulations as set forth in Article 10 of the UDO; and prohibit expanding the building footprint or height for additional 4. As applied to the former Woods Warehouse property, the proposed amendment would increase the maximum allowable density from seven (7) units to 35 units. As previously noted, the warehouse is 36,333 square feet in area according to the Richmond County tax records. If the warehouse is residential space. 11 renovated to accommodate the maximum density allowed under the proposed amendment, the 5. As second example of a potential benefit from the proposed amendment is the former County Administration building located at 125 S. Hancock Street. The building is now privately owned, and City staff previously discussed the possibility of conversion to apartments with the current owner. Based on the 0.66 acre lot size, a maximum of five units is allowed with current zoning density. With the proposed amendment, the maximum allowable density is 25 units. The building is 29,352 square feet in area according to Richmond County tax records. If the building is renovated to accommodate the maximum density allowed under the proposed amendment, the average. gross 6. The proposed amendment will require substantial compliance with parking regulations as set forth in Article 10 of the UDO; and prohibit the expansion of the building footprint or height for additional 7. City staff views this text amendment as a type of financial incentive to encourage/faclitate investment in some older, either abandoned or underutilized buildings in the community some of 8. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the City's land use plan in that it will assist in efforts to facilitate new, quality residential developments as a means of expanding the City's tax base, which is an objective under Goal #1. Also, Goal #2 is to improve the aesthetics and overall appearance of the community, and as previously stated, the proposed amendment incentivizes the redevelopment of vacant or underutilized buildings which are often eyesores in the community. average gross square footage per unit is approximately 1,038 square feet. square footage per unit is 1,174square feet. residential space. which of public nuisances in their current state. Staff Recommendation: amend the UDO as proposed. City staff recommends the Board review the proposed amendment and recommend the City Council Planning Board Recommendation: The Planning Board reviewed the request at their regular meeting on December 5, 2023 and recommended unanimously the City Council amend the UDO as proposed in the text amendment. 12 Section 4.10: Density Bonuses for Multi-family Residential Uses in Existing Nonresidential Existing nonresidential buildings or portions thereof located in the B-2, B-3, 0-I, R-7, and R-7A zones proposed for renovation and conversion to multi-family residential units may be permitted to increase the maximum allowable density ont thes sitel by up to! 500 percent above that authorized in Section 4.01 provided (A) Any density increase authorized pursuant to this Section shall require a special use permit issued (B) Substantial compliance with parking requirements set forth in Article 10 oft this Ordinance shall be required in order for a proposed redevelopment to receive any increase in density pursuant to this (C) Any development utilizing a density increase authorized pursuant to this Section shall not be permitted toi increase the existing building footprint or building height for additional residential floor (D) The maximum density authorized pursuant to this Section shall be calculated by dividing the total lots square footage by 5,250, rounding down to the nearest whole number, and then multiplying by Buildings the following requirements at met. by the Board of Adjustment and shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Background: The H.C. Watson house located at 526 S. Caroline Street is for sale and a prospective buyer is interested in operating a bed and breakfast inn at the location. The residence is a large historic home listed on the National Register. In 2005 at the request of the current property owner, the City Council rezoned the property frontage (250 depth) including the residence from High Density Residential (R-7) to Highway Business (B-3) SO the current property owner could operate an antique store from the residence. The B- As set forth in Section 3.05 of the UDO, hotels, motels, and extended stay facilities are allowed as a permitted use in the B-3 zone, but not bed and breakfast inns. During the last comprehensive UDO update in 2003, the Board omitted bed and breakfast inns from the B-3 zone primarily because there were few if any large historic homes zoned B-3 consider desirable for such use. The circumstances have 3z zone does not allow bed and breakfast inns as a permitted or special use. changed now; thus, City staff drafted the proposed amendment to address the issue.
