City Attornéy: Thank.you: Your may/rèturn to: yourseat. In this meeting, we will" first'hear from Planner, Abby- Manning and then from the applicant and their witnesses and then from opponents to the request. Our parties may cross-examine witnesses after each witness testifies when questions arecalled for. Ifyou have exhibits, maps, reports, or other documentation that you would like for the council to consider, it will need to be introduced as evidence and the person that is most familiar with that testimony should present it. I do not see any attomeys.present for this particular hearing. So, we'll skip that. A At this time, I will now opên.the. méeting on Case #SUP-25-03 Special Use Permit Application and ask for testimony from our Planner, Abby Manning. Planner Manning: Thank you. You can go back to a couple slides, um, actually one forward. That one, I'm sorry, you were OK where you were. OK. The next case I'm presenting is SUP-25-03. This is a Speciai Use Permit Request submitted by the Redemption Outreach Center. The owner of the property is the Board of Trustees of the Redemption Outreach Center. The location is 1874 US Hwy. 301 S. The applicant. is requesting issuance of a Special Use Permit to operate the use of child daycare to accommodate more than eight (8) children. The property is 2.37 acres and is located in Dunn's ETJ (Extra territorial jurisdiction). You can see the property highlighted in orange on the first page ofyour staff report and on the slide. Next page please. Here you can see the property from the street view, from US 301. Again, the property is 2.37 acres in size. The existing use is residential. The proposed use is a daycare facility. The property is currently zoned R-20, and right now well and: septici is being utilized on the property. Just below is data regarding surrounding properties, Property surrounding the site. To the north, we have. residential R-20. The existing use is vacant. To the South we have industrial I-100. Existing use is also vacant and to the east we have industrial I- 100 and the existing use is also vacant. Tot the West, we have R-20. This is a property also owned by Redemption Outreach Center and industrial I-100 andi this is the site ofa a planned industrial park. Next slide, please. The proposed use is a child daycare facility that will accommodate more than eight children. The capacity is 29 children. The project name is Rock Stars Academy. Access to the development will be offUs Hwy. 301. A traffic study was noti required for this development for the UDO. Special Use Master Plan shows an outdoor play area, a parking area and street trees along Hwy. 301. The applicant does plan to connect tol Dunn sewer system, which is available at this location. Next slide please. This Special Use Permit Request is inconsistent with the City ofDunnl Land Use plan. The Future Land Use Plan map designates this property as an office and industry charactèr area. The Dunn Land Use Plan describes office and industry areas as those that provide office, industrial and economic déyelopment opportunities. They are typically located along major thoroughfares and çorridors with adequate infrastructure and acreage to accommodate future growth. Facilities are- accessed by, employees during business hours but are not usually open to the public. Next slide. : A goal detailed in the Land Use Plan that's relevant to the Special, Use request is Policy 31 to encourage new businesses and non-residential developmeritin office and industry-areas designated on the futureLand Use Map. An objective of Policy 3 is to encouragèa mix, of non-residential uses, Including industrial, warehouse, office, research and development, flex place, renewableienergy, recydling,fabrication, assembly and technology. As this application is reviewed quasi judicially, Twill not bemaking a rècommendation. Attached to your staff reporti is the Special Use Application, Special'Use Master-Plan, supplemental information that was provided by thé applicant and public noticing matérials. I have provided conditions ofapproval in çase the request is approved, which I'll go over now for SUP-25-03. This is a Special Use for the operation of a child daycare more than eight (8) at 1874 US Hwy. 301 S. Thisi is the property delineatéd as Exhibit-A in the conditions, which shows the SUP Master Plan. The uséi is-limitèdt to one childdaycare façility.s Development ofthes site will be consistent withthe Special Use Master Plan and other appropriate processes would be nècessary' to ptoyide the mastér plan, ifit was considered substantial. Approval ofa Stormwater Management Plan is required prior to issuance of a Development Permit, since this sitewill exceed 20,000'square feet of,impervious surface. And lastlythe developer shall comply with city, state, and federal regulations, ifapplicable, that are not addressed inthese conditions.) The applicant is presenttonight, but I can take any questions you have for me before I tumn it over. Question from the Council: When do I ask a question? Question from the Council: Is this daycare going to be just for the church members, or did you say it was for the public? Planner Manning: I will refer to the applicant on that one. I only know the capacity but I'm not aware of whether it'll be open to the public or only for the church's use. City Attorney: Before we entertain further questions, would you like to introduce into evidence the application and the master plan and the other materials that you identified during your testimony? Planner Manning: Yes, I would. Thank you. City Attorney: Then that would be sO admitted. Anyone from the Council have questions for the planning? Mayor Pro Tem Sills: You said they're attached to the sewer, but she didn't say anything about the water. Are they going to tap into the water? Planner Manning: I'm aware that they're going to tap into the sewer. I'm not aware ift they're going to tap into water or not.It think they needed to tapi into the sewer up because oftheir subject. They couldn't accommodate the capacity of29 children. Iti is, but I'm not aware ift there is a need for water. City Attorney: Anyone else on the council have questions for the Planner? Question from the Council: Well, this isj just a question in general. Maybe I should know this, but how do we measure: sewer: ifyou're not in the water? I thought the water was measured and then the sewers based on the water usage. Yes, I can answer that. Ifg go install a meter on the well to measure. how much water goes to that facility, OK. Mayor Pro Tem Sills: Did they have to have a neighborhood meeting for this? Planner Manning: No, not for Special Use. City Attorney: Anyone else on the council have questions for the Planner? City Attorney: Is there anyone who's been swom to testify.that has questions fort this witness? - City Attorney: At this time, we will-hear from the applicant'and other proponents of the application. Ifyou'll come forth and state your name and' address please. Applicant; Good evening. My name is Shane Kelly. I-serve as lead Pastor of the Redemption Outreach Center. Real quick, since there were two questions'a already, do want to arswer those. The first being that this is absolutely. intended to be open.to the public. Iti is our sincerest goal and hope to meet a need ofthe community.not; just our congregation. The second question about utilities. We currently are connected to water at this site. I have spoken with Billy Cottle about.this: We would only neéd to conriect to the sèwer because currently there's a septic system in place. Now that the,septic-system. technically-does meètthe capecityrequirements, but being a dated septic system for the counties guidelines, it's best for us thinking long tèrm to connect to the city sewer. I did prepare some: remarks, ifI mây,just broadly beyond those two questions. / We're here tonight to respectfully, to request à Speçial Use Permit. As Abby outlined for you, the hope is that we would reconfiguré'our current Parsonage to accommodate an initial enrollment of 22 kids. Supported by up to five staff members. Our daycare would operate Monday through Friday, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM to provide high quality care to families in our community. Our Submitted site plan fully complies with the city's current zoning ordinance. I do want to take a moment and' thank the Planning Department, specifically Abby, for her assistance along the way. That was critical for us. I appreciate that very much. I do want to emphasize that as you know, we're not seeking rezoning. A daycare facility is already a permitted use within the current zoning district, subject to approval ofa Special Use Permit, which is obviously why I'm here this evening. The need for additional childcare in our area is urgent and well documented. Currently, all local daycares are operating with extended wait lists, some stretching up to two (2) years, according to the Early Childhood Foundation ofNorth Carolina. For every one (1) available spot in a licensed childcare center, there are: five (5) or more families that are competing for that single spot. This shortage places a tremendous burden on our young families, many of whom are working or may wish to return to work. But of course, childcare being independent to that. Our project offers an immediate and tangible solution to that pressing need.I do understand, and I want to acknowledge that the city's Long Range Land Use Plan does designate our area as an office and industrial development. However, I would sincerely hope that these plans are living documents that are meant to evolve in response to real time community needs. I do want to point to what our project is directly aligned with in terms of the Imagined Dunn Strategic Vision Plan. I have a few goals that I believe we support. T'II be brief on this. 1. The very first goal in that plan is to create a quality of life for residents that is second to none. The lack of available childcare actively works against that goal. While our proposal would actively fulfill it and support it. 2. The second goal in that plan is to accommodate and support the needs ofdiverse and growing population as our community grows the demand for quality. Childcare is only going to increase. So we're offering a proactive step forward for our community. 3. And the fifth goal in that plan, this will be my last. It's to cultivate a strong sense of pride and promote Dunn as a place to live, to invest, and to raise a family and by responding to the needs of our youngest residents and their families. We're helping to tell that story in a méaningful way. So in closing, I believe that this project offers clear benefits to our city without requiring any changes to existing zoning. It addresses an immediate need. It aligns with the city's broader strategic goals and strengthens the fabric of our community. Thank you for your time, for your service to our city, and! for considering this application. I'm happy to answer any other questions that you may have at this time. City Attorney: Questions from the Council.Are there others who've been sworh.to provide testimony that have any questions for this witness? Were you able to hear and understand the conditions that Ms. Manning is recommended at the Council grants a special use permit request? y Applicant: I did hear them, and we will hàppily. comply.

Apartments Mayor Elmore opened a public hearing on this matter and called on Planner, Abby Manning to present the report. Ms. Manning presented Conditional Zoning Request CZ-25-03 submitted by Greenway Development LLC for the property at 800 North Fayetteville Avenue. The request was to rezone the 4.31-acre property from 1-10 Industrial to RM-CZD (Residential Mixed-Conditional Zoning District) for the purpose of developing a 60-unit multifamily residential complex. Ms. Manning provided details about the property, surrounding area, and the proposed development. She explained that the rezoning would expand the RM zoning area, which is primarily intended to accommodate residential uses. The proposed development would include 60 mixed units of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.with amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness center, and computer center. Current site features are vaçant, and adjacent properties include industrial and residential uses. The rezoning is consistent with goals in the city's land usèp plan, such as encouraging high-density housing close to amenities. With a traffic study not required for dèvelopments under 100 units, Ms. Manning recommended: approval based onthè plan's consistency with city goals. Mark. Richardson from Greenway Residential Development: spoke in favor ofthe project, highlightingthe need for rental housing in the area, presenting a market study indicating demand for 580 units while they are) proposing only 60. He pointed out thatthe project would improvèy what he described as a blighted area, bringing new life and residents to Dunn. J. David Lee, owner ofnearbyp properties, also spoke in sypport oft the project, emphasizing its potential to encourage developmenti in the: area,i improve nèarby. property values, filll housing needs, and increase tax revenue: for the city with. anticipated revenue betwèen 35,000 and 40,000 dollars annually. Wanda Burns Ramsey, the listing agent for the property, discussed the challenges faced in attracting commercial developmentoyer the past four years despite significant advertising efforts. She mentioned that only; the current residential proposal had materialized into a contract. James Ringgard, an adjacentproperty owner, expressed concerns about the project's impact on his long- standing businessagiting over 35 years of opération at the site. He sought clarification on the types of buffers, fences, orl landscaping proposed between the new development and' his property. Aftert thej public hearing was closed, the council discussed the differences in potential tax revenue between industrial and residential developments, noting that while industrial development generally provides a higher tax value, the market demand: indicates a significant need for housing at this time. Mayor Pro' Tem Sills raised concerns that despite the housing demand, thet tax benefits do not outweigh the Iong-term incentives that industrial zoning could fulfill.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration ofthe foregoing and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. The CITY Agrees: (a) Quantity and Quality: To furnish the DISTRICT at the point of delivery hereinafter specified during the term of this contract or any renewal or extension thereof, potable treated water meeting applicable purity standards established under the North Carolina Drinking Water Act, G.S. 130A-311 et. seq. and the rules promulgated thereunder governing Public Water Systems in 15A NCAC Chapter 18C. CITY agrees to furnish such quantities as may be required by the DISTRICT not to exceed a monthly average of 250,000 gallons per day and a daily maximum of 300,000 gallons. Further, in the event the daily flow exceeds 1.5 times the maximum daily flow contracted for due to excessive use, a break in the DISTRICT'S water system, or other emergency, the DISTRICT is obligated to immediately contact the CITY'S utility personnel and inform them the maximum daily amount will be exceeded. Each of the parties hereto shall immediately notify the other of an emergency or condition which may affect the quality of water in either party's system. The DISTRICT further agrees that their minimum quarterly usage shall not be less than 15.75 million gallons, or approximately 175,000 gallons per day. To determine quarterly usage, a quarterly running total shall be calculated using a running three (3) billing cycle 2 period; based on this calculation, total usage during each period shall be equal to or greater than 15.75 million gallons. Usage calculations shall be tallied using CITY'S monthly water billing cycle, which occurs on or near the 15th (fifteenth) day of each month. Should the quarterly running total fall below the established minimum level, an additional billing equal to the established minimum level less the quarterly running total would be in order. (b) Point ofDelivery and Pressure: That water will be furnished at a reasonably constant pressure calculated at 50 to 55 PSI from existing 6-inch supply main at the point located on Highway 55 known as Highway 55 Meter Pit (35.297945, 78.573297) and existing 16-inch supply main at the point located on Hwy 421 known as Blighway 421 Meter Pit. If a greater pressure than that normally available at the point of delivery is required by the DISTRICT, the cost of providing such greater pressure shall be born by the DISTRICT; emergency failures of pressure or supply due to main supply line breaks, power failure, flood, fire, and use of water to fight fire, earthquake, or other catastrophe, shall excuse noncompliance by the CITY from this provision for such reasonable period oftime as may be necessary to restore service at the required pressure. (c) Metering Equipment: To operate and maintain at its own expense at the point of delivery the necessary metering equipment, including a meter house or pit required devices of standard type for properly measuring the quantity of water delivered to the DISTRICT and to calibrate such metering equipment whenever requested by the DISTRICT, but no more frequently than once every twelve months; a meter registering not more than 2% above or below the test results shall be deemed to be accurate. The previous readings of any meter disclosed by test to be inaccurate shall be corrected for the three (3) months previous to such test in accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy 3 found by such test. Ifthe meter fails to register for any period of time, the amount of water furnished for such period shall be deemed to be the amount of water delivered in the corresponding period immediately prior to the failure, unless the CITY and the DISTRICT shall agree upon a different amount. The metering equipment shall be read monthly by the CITY according to the CITY'S prevailing meter reading schedule. An official of the DISTRICT shall have access to the meter for the purpose of verifying its reading at any reasonable time, upon request. (d) Billing Procedure: To furnish the DISTRICT at the above address, not later than the 10th day of each month with an itemized statement of the amount of water furnished to the DISTRICT during the preceding month. 2. The DISTRICT Agrees: (a) Payment Date: To pay the CITY'S monthly bill no later than the past due date posted on the statement for water furnished, which said past due date shall be at least 10 days but not more than 20 days after the date of statement for water delivered. (b) Rates: That the water rates charged by the CITY to the DISTRICT shall be no greater than the prevailing municipal wholesale bulk rate charged by the CITY to its other municipal customers which rate, at the time of execution of this contract, is $2.81 per 1,000 gallons for water used as determined by the readings from the Highway 55 meter and Highway 421 meter. This shall be the rate until such time as CITY rates change pursuant to paragraph (3)(e) below. In consideration therefore, and to minimize the potential for competition between the DISTRICT and the CITY for a particular customer or group of customers, the DISTRICT will establish rates that are equal to or greater than 4 the rate charged by the CITY for a corresponding volume used by the same classification of user. 3. Itis further agreed between the CITY and DISTRICT as follows: (a) Terms of Contract: That this contract shall extend for a term of 2 years from the date ofthe initial delivery ofany water as shown by the first bill submitted by the CITY to the DISTRICT and thereafter, may be renewed or extended upon. such terms as may be agreed upon by the CITY and the DISTRICT.
