My analysis is as follows: o R PvA V c 6c � a Good afternoon. I have had a chance to look more closely at the preliminary plans for the Public Safety development on Georgia Avenue. As a brief review of the site: 3 parcels, ±4.45 acres 0.22 ac, R-14 2.19 ac, R-14 2.04 ac, GC - all are in the "Neighborhood Protection Overlay" district. 1) Rezoning. (Timeline: 30-60 days) This process would be heard by the Planning Commission. a. To be used as Fire/Police protection, the property must be rezoned to "P," Public Use Districts, per Table 3-7 and Section 3.6.4. The following review criteria are required for the "P" Zoning: i. 3.6.4.5.1 Review Criteria for Rezoning — In reviewing an application for a proposed P, Public Use District, the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the following: 1. Inter-jurisdictional Analysis — A review to determine the extent to which an interjurisdictional approach may be appropriate, including consideration of possible alternative sites for the facility in other jurisdictions and an analysis of the extent to which the proposed facility is of a citywide, countywide, regional or state-wide nature, and whether uniformity among jurisdictions should be considered. 2. Financial Analysis — A review to determine if a negative financial impact upon the City of North Augusta can be reduced or avoided by intergovernmental agreement. 3. Special Purpose Districts — When the public facility is being proposed by a special purpose district including a school district, the city should consider the facility in the context of the district's overall plan and the extent to which the plan and facility are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Measures to Facilitate Siting — The factors that make a particular facility difficult to site should be considered when a facility is proposed, and measures should be taken to facilitate siting of the facility in light of those factors including, but not limited to: a. The availability of land; b. Access to the transportation network; c. Compatibility with neighboring uses; and d. The impact on the physical environment. 2) Development Standards (development review process 30 to 180 days, depending on applicant responsiveness and variance/waiver processes). The Planning Commission would review the site plan only if the building is over 40,000 sq ft., otherwise it is an administrative process, aside from any waivers or variances required. a. Per NADC 3.6.4.5.2, Uses within the P, Public Use District, are not subject to the dimensional standards of §3.5. However, such uses are subject to the landscaping standards of Article 10, and the parking standards of Article 12. If the use is within a corridor overlay district, the standards of §3.8 apply. I assume that this means that any requirement within this district would apply. s / TzLE cam- < LcAI_ AJ I VA 3) Based on the plan reviewed, several variances would be required (Timeline: 30 days). Each variance would be reviewed separately, but would be presented at the same hearing, and would be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals per NADC 18.4.1 believe the following variances would be required, at a minimum: a. Based on 3.8.6.2 and 3.8.6.2.1, 1 believe there is some room for interpretation on how the second floor is used, based on the non-commercial use of the property; additional research may be needed. b. No existing structure may be demolished until a site plan is approved. I believe a feasibility study has already been completed. There may be some room for demolition is it is an immediate matter of life and safety. c. Setbacks: a minimum setback is 25' and a maximum setback is 50'. It does not appear the building meets this setback. Using 3.5.8 as a guide for the corner lot setbacks, Observatory should have a setback of approximately 45' (this will need to be confirmed by a survey); the Fire Station may meet that setback. Butler Ave. setback should be approximately 60', which is h. Parking will be determined at permitting per table 12-1. i. The remaining landscaping is not available for review at this time. For the Board of Zoning Appeals hearings, I believe it is helpful to also understand the findings that must be made to issue a variance: a. A variance is not a right. It may be granted to an applicant only if the applicant establishes compliance with the hardship criteria established in S.C. Code §6-29-800. b. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall hear and decide appeals for variances from the requirements of Article 3, Zoning Districts, and Article 13, Signs, when strict application of the regulations would result in unnecessary hardship variance may be granted in an individual case of unnecessary hardship if the Board of Zoning Appeals makes and explains in writing, all of the following: z. 1. An unnecessary hardship exists; T � 7 v n nGce.S s� 2. There are extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to the particular piece of property; 3. The conditions do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity; 4. Because of the conditions, the application of this Chapter to the particular piece of property would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property; and 5. The authorization of a variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property or to the public good, and the character of the district will not be harmed by the granting of the variance. Harm to the character of the district may include structures that are significantly out of scale, and the creation or potential for the creation of excessive noise, light, traffic or incompatible late night activity. (Rev. 12-1-08; Ord. 2008-18) c. In the approval of an application for a variance from the provisions of Article 13, Signs, regulating the size, height, appearance, or location of a sign, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall also find that no alternative signage solution that complies with the provisions of Article 13 is available and would provide adequate visibility, recognition and understanding. d. The Board of Zoning Appeals may not grant a variance the erect of which would be: To allow the establishment of a use not otherwise permitted in a zoning district. 2. To extend physically a nonconforming use of land. 3. To change zoning district boundaries shown on the official zoning map. e. If the unnecessary hardship is self-imposed by the applicant the variance should not be granted. f. The fact that property may be utilized more profitably, should a variance,be granted, shall not be considered grounds for a variance. g. In granting a variance, the Board of Zoning Appeals may attach to it such conditions regarding the location, character, or other features of the proposed building, structure, or use as the Board may consider advisable to promote the public health, safety, or general welfare. There may be other waivers or variances that crop up as the site plan evolves. Please let me know if you have further questions.

The property is zoned General Commercial and R14 and is located in a district of National Register of Historic Places. 3. The entire area is protected by a Neighborhood Preservation Overlay NPO). 4. You can't construct the Fire Station without variances. 5. You're proposing via a text amendment that City property zoned "P" does not have to comply with the NPO. 6. You are circumventing the system as it was intended. 7. 1 honestly can't believe you as our city leaders have stooped to the level of even entertaining this approach. 8.
