History
The property in question was annexed into the City with the adoption of Ordinance No.
86-03 in November of 1986 as part of a larger annexation of a total of 754.72 acres. At
that time, the zoning for the property was PUD. Part of the PUD was PD-R, Residential
not to exceed 4 units/acre, part was R, Residential, and part was PD-G, General
Commercial with Thoroughfare permitted uses. There were no specific plans but the
property owner had a general idea as to his anticipated development. Subsequent
zoning ordinances placed a PUD or PD zoning on the property allowing for mixed use.
PD, Planned Development is the current zoning.
Over the years, numerous parties have looked into developing the property but found
the rugged rock unsuitable for efficient and economical development of any kind. In
2016, the property was donated to the Central Savannah River Land Trust. Their
intention is to use the land for a nature preserve, and to further their mission of
encouraging the conservation of our local landscape. To that end, they are seeking
permission to construct a pole barn to serve as a picnic shelter. In keeping with the
intended use, no impervious parking is proposed, needed, or required.
To permit a structure, even a pole barn, in a PD without an adopted mixed use plan
would not be appropriate. The specific pole barn proposal for this property along with
the intended use for the entire tract as a nature preserve is a natural fit in the CR
(Critical Areas) zone. The only allowed uses listed for CR zones are: bus shelters;
churches and associated uses; open space, parks, or active recreational uses operated
on a non-commercial basis; private boat docks, boat houses, or marinas; and
agricultural uses not including livestock.
A ten (10) acre tract on W. Martintown Road was carved out of the whole tract several
years ago for an intended apartment complex, which never materialized. That tract is
now owned by Dr. Allen, who is developing it as a medical office complex. This ten (10)
acres is not included in the rezoning request, nor are Tracts "B", "C", or "D" on the
attached plat by Cranston, Robertson, and Whitehurst, P.C.

Access — The site currently has access from W. Martintown Road.
Topography —The site topography is severely rugged. The property is heavily wooded.
Utilities — Potable water is available on W. Martintown Road from the Edgefield Water
and Sewer Authority. Sewer is available from the City of North Augusta.

property.
Drainage Basin — This site is located within the Fox Creek Drainage Basin as
designated on the City of North Augusta Stormwater Management's Drainage Basin
Map. The Stormwater Management Department has conducted a baseline assessment
of the basin and rates the overall quality as good. Pollutant concentrations are at or
below the average or standards set for fresh water streams.
Public Notice
A notice of the rezoning request and scheduled date of the Planning Commission public
hearing was mailed to the owners of property within 200 feet of the subject property on
May 30, 2017. The property was posted with the required public notice on May 31,
2017. A public notice of the rezoning request and scheduled date of the Planning
Commission public hearing was published in The Star on May 31, 2017.

Findings and Analysis
Section 5.3.6 of the North Augusta Development Code (NADC) provides the minimum
approval criteria to be used in determining a recommendation to City Council. The
Planning Commission shall consider all of the factors specified in this section, at a
minimum, in reviewing an application for a rezoning.
1. The size of the tract in question (Sec. 5.3.6.1).
The subject property is identified as Tract "A" and is ±245.56 acres on a plat
compiled for Greystone NA Properties, LLC by Cranston, Robertson &
Whitehurst, P.C. dated June 14, 2006. The size of the property is appropriate for
the purposes of the intended uses for the property.
2. Whether the proposal conforms with and furthers the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan, other adopted plans, and the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Development Code, sec 1.2.
The proposed rezoning would provide significant protection for a large tract of
land providing a variety of spaces, including outdoor and passive outdoor uses,
which become part of the public realm.
3. The relationship of the uses envisioned under the new zoning and the uses
currently present in adjacent tracts. In particular, the Planning Commission shall
consider whether as stated in section 5.3.6.3 of the NADC:
a. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area;
b. There will be any adverse effects on the capacity or safety of the portion of
street network influenced by the rezoning.
c. There will be any adverse effects on existing or planned public utility
services in the area
d. Parking problems; or
e. Environmental impacts that the new use will generate such as excessive
storm water runoff, water, air, or noise pollution, excessive nighttime
lighting or other nuisances.
Rezoning to CR — Critical Areas effectively removes the property from
potential development. As a result, there is no negative impact on the
surrounding area, the street network, public utility services, nor parking
P&D Memo 17-013
June 19, 2017
Page 5 41\1(Pri
City of North Augusta
demands. The rezoning would keep the property in an undeveloped state
except for nature trails, an occasional picnic shelter or bench. As a result
there will be no excessive storm water runoff, water, air, or noise pollution
and certainly no excessive nighttime lighting or other nuisances.
4. Any recent change of character in the area due to installation of public facilities,
other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration and development.
The property has remained in its present undeveloped state regardless of being
in the City and regardless of it zoning label. CR — Critical Areas zoning will
ensure that the current conditions remain.
5. The zoning districts and existing land uses of the surrounding properties.
In that the proposed zoning is in keeping with the use of the property in the
current zoning, there will be no impact other than positive buffering for the
adjoining properties.
6. Whether the subject property is suitable for the uses to which it has been
restricted under the existing zoning classification.
The property is not suitable for a mixed use Planned Development due to its
being so rugged.
. 7. Whether the rezoning is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, especially
residential neighborhood stability and character.
The rezoning, if anything, will enhance neighborhoods, both existing and
proposed, on properties North and West of W. Martintown Road. It will provide
and protect a natural amenity for the residents therein.
8. The length of time the subject property has remained vacant as zoned, if
applicable.
The property has remained undeveloped for many decades, if not forever.
9. Whether there is an adequate supply of land available in the subject area and the
surrounding community to accommodate the zoning and community needs
including, but not limited to, affordable housing and economic development.
P&D Memo 17-013
June 19, 2017
Page 6
City of North Augusta
There is an adequate supply of land available in the subject area and the
community to accommodate the needs of the community both in housing and in
commercial development.
10.Whether the existing zoning was in error at the time of adoption.
The existing zoning of PD, Planned Development has been in place for several
decades. However it was not in error as it was the wishes of the then property
owner and the City. Additional knowledge of the ruggedness of the terrain
suggests that the CR- Critical Areas is now a better fit for the intended use.
