August 6, 2019 Mark Statz, Centerville Page 2of 7 RE: Downtown Zoning Updates (3) Tentative – In Section C. II. b Increase the “Maximum Building Height” to 4 stories. This is dependent on whether the City fire equipment can accommodate buildings taller than 45 feet. The standard will be subject to individual review. (4) In Section C. II. b. “Off Street Parking – Residential,” add a disclaimer that private and secure parking for residences within the Mixed-Use Corridors will be fully enclosed in private facilities, where feasible. Given the limitations with the water table experienced at Block 7, there should be some flexibility for this requirement. (5) In Section C. II. b “Streetscape: Mixed-Use Corridors,” include a qualifier stating: “The City will be responsible for designing and building streetscaping, with the costs borne by developers.” (6) In the Section C. III. a. “Characteristics: Downtown Neighborhood,” the first bullet point regarding parking will be updated to say, “all resident parking shall be enclosed in underground or tuck under garages, where feasible.” (7) In Section C. III. a “Characteristics: Downtown Neighborhood,” the fourth bullet point regarding setbacks shall be updated to be more in line with current setback language standards. The section will be updated as follows: Setbacks from public streets should be consistent at 50 feet from street center line. All buildings should be required to have some portion that extends to exactly 45 feet from the street centerline. Buildings shall be set back no more than five (5) feet from the right-of- way or roadway easement. All ground floor units oriented toward the street should have stoops or porches. Ground floor stoops at the first floor should have a consistent setback of exactly 8 feet. (8) In Section C. III. a. “Parking Strategies: Downtown Neighborhood” will be updated consistently with previous updates to say, “all resident parking must be enclosed in below grade garages or garages that are internal to the sites, where feasible. (9) In Section C. II. a. the photo below parking strategies showing a stormwater pond and captioned “Storm Water Ponds can become a Residential Amenity” will be removed as it is inconsistent with the content of this section. (10) In Section C. III. b. “Minimum lot area,” will be updated to say “N/A” to be in line with the zoning code which does not set a minimum lot area. (11) In Section C. III. b. “Front Build-to lines” will be updated to say the following to be consistent with other setback requirements in this section: Primary building facades should be consistent at the built-to line. Build-to line shall be 20 ft. behind the public ROW no more than 5 feet from the right-of-way or roadway easement.
