Applicant: City of Pembroke Request: Zoning Text Amendment: Article V, Sections 5-2, 5-3, & 5-4, to allow Day Care Centers and Public Parks/Playgrounds as residential uses; and Article III, Sections 3-4-1 (V)(b) & 3-31 to correct contradicting language related to "Principal Buildings" . MEETINGS: Planning Commission: Public Hearing February 20, 2025 City Council: Public Hearing & First Reading March 10, 2025 City Council: Second Reading & Vote April 14, 2025 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Pembroke is proposing amendments to the city's zoning ordinance to allow Public Parks/Playgrounds as a permitted use in the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3; to allow Day Care Centers as a conditional use in the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3;1 to correct language related to Principal Buildings. The zoning ordinance as currently constructed does not permit public parks or childcare facilities in residential districts except for agricultural districts. Childcare and public parks/green space are common amenities and facilities that attract people to live and remain in communities. Upon review of the zoning ordinances of the 2024 top 10 ranked cities for quality of life in the US, by US News and World, all but one city permits parks or playgrounds in residential districts. 8 out of the 10 permit childcare facilities in all residential districts, while the other two limit the use to only certain residential districts. The City of Pembroke should take every opportunity to include green space and increase access to childcare to attract and retain young families as housing development grows in the area. Upon review of neighboring municipalities - the majority permit parks/playgrounds, while just over half permit childcare facilities in residential districts. US News & World Report for 2024 cities with the highest quality of life rankings: Top 10 Anne Arbor: Child Care (P), Outdoor Recreation (E) Boulder: Child Care (Use Review), Parks (P) Madison: Child Care (C), Parks/Playgrounds (P) San Jose: Child Care (S), Parks/Playgrounds (P) Portland, Maine: Child Care (C), Parks (P) Boston: Child Care (P), Parks (P) Green Bay: Family Day Care (P), Day Care (P in r-3 only); Parks (P) Hartford: Child Care (C), Parks (C) Rochester: Child Care (S), Parks (S) Trenton, NJ: Child Care (C) - not in all residential districts, family day cares are permitted in all residential districts; Parks (NA) Local Ordinances: Savannah: Child Care (S), Parks (P) Port Wentworth: Day Care Center (NA) Family Day Care (P) Preschool (P); Parks (P) Hinesville: Child Care (S), Parks (P) Richmond Hill: Child Care (C), Parks (P) Brooklet: Child Care Special Use in R-2, R-3, not permitted in R-1; Public Recreation (S) Rincon: Child Care (C) only in higher density Res; Parks (P) Statesboro: Child Care (NA), Parks (P) Springfield: Child Care (NA), Parks (P) The amendments to Article II, Sections 3-4-1 (V)(b) & 3-31 will clean up contradictory language related to principal buildings on a lot. Currently there are no exemptions for multifamily buildings, like the permitted Garden Style Apartments, and the two sections contradict each other in verbiage. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As a result, Staff recommends to approve the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. III. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with Article X, Section 10-3 (a.), of the Pembroke Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve the request.

Cleanout risers shall be the small diameter as the subgrade drainage pipe. Underdrains shall not significantly affect water table conditions on adjacent property. The project's professional geotechnical engineer or hydrologist must demonstrate, utilizing sound and generally acceptable engineering practices and scientifically reliable data, that lowering the seasonal high groundwater table will not adversely impact adjacent properties or surface waters. The City ofl Pembroke shall have the authority to require the developer to implement specific measures deemed necessary to avoid or correct any adverse impact of drainage facilities upon adjacent properties. The planned use of underdrain systems to provide minimum separation between the seasonal high groundwater table and the bottom of roadway base on subdivisions proposed for development utilizing on-site sewage treatment systems (i.e., septic tanks and absorption fields) shall be prohibited except under the following circumstances: a. Lots within the area proposed for underdrains shall be a minimum of one-half (%2) acre. b.

In addition, all other current design manuals and/or policies issued by GDOT shall be utilized as required for specific transportation elements not addressed in the GDOT Design Manual. Similarly, all construction related activities are governed by the GDOT Construction Manual. The purpose of this addendum is to augment these policies and guidelines set out in these documents with specific criteria related to the design and construction of transportation facilities within the City of Pembroke. All land development taking place in the City ofPembroke, at a minimum, shall reference and adhere to the design guidelines and policies for guidance and design criteria, of1 the following documents and latest addenda thereof: City ofl Pembroke Ordinances GDOT Design Manual GDOT Construction Manual FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) ITE Trip Generation Manual AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets The following design standards shall be considered minimum requirements in the platting of all subdivisions: 7.1 Streets 7.1.1. Classification New streets shall typically be classified by the number of vehicle trips per day measured as average annual daily traffic (AADT) as follows: Arterials - greater than 2000 and/or as designated by the City of Pembroke. Arterials include freeways, multilane highways, and other important roadways that supplement the Interstate System. They connect, as directly as practicable, the Nation's principal urbanized areas, cities, and industrial centers. Land access is limited. Posted speed limits on arterials usually range between 50 and 70 miles per. hour. Collectors = 1000 to 2000 and/or as designated by the City of Pembroke.
