Prepared by:Kuleigh Baker/Libby Hodges
Meeting Date:April 18,2019
SECTION 4: SITE HISTORY
Historically, the area proposed for rezoning was the industrial center of North Augusta. The
original plats of the City of North Augusta called for this area to be the commercial and
manufacturing center of the City, which it was, until these businesses went into decline for a
number of reasons. More recently, the property remained vacant for many years due to site
contamination and other development limitations until the city purchased the property with the
intent to redevelop. This area provides a vital public river access through this property and the
nearby Riverview Park.
The parcels proposed for rezoning are a portion of a previous Planned Development(PD)usually
referred to as "Hammond's Ferry." The commercial portion of the site is often referred to as
"Riverside Village." The first Planned Development (PD) General Development Plan (GDP) for
Hammond's Ferry was approved by the Planning Commission on July 25, 2002 and Ordinance
2002-23 was adopted by City Council on December 12, 2002. There have been several
modifications to the original PD ordinance and associated General Development Plan.
Throughout this time,the property has been subject to several agreements between the City and
site developers in the form of development agreements and parking agreements.The site is also
subject to restriction imposed by the Hammond's Ferry Business District Association,
incorporated in 2008.
The most recent revision to the general development plan was for Phase 8, the town center,
including the stadium and commercial area. At the May 21, 2015 meeting of the Planning
Commission, the major modification to the GDP and PD ordinance were reviewed and
recommended for approval by City Council. City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2015-14, on
August 3, 2015. As stated in the Ordinance, these changes were in response to changing
economic conditions, development codes, and development opportunities on the site and has
resulted in the current development on the site. The property has become a model for
redevelopment through careful planning and innovative development. This proposal is a
continuation of the development of the site.

Access_7 The site currently has access from Center Street and Railroad Avenue via Riverside
Boulevard or Crystal Lake Drive. The site also has access from the North Augusta Greeneway. A
Traffic Impact Analysis was previously completed for Phase B that encompassed a significant
study area to review the potential Impacts of a large scale development and future growth on
existing traffic.
Topography—The property is relatively flat.The majority of Riverside Village was graded at the
start of construction on Phase B of Hammond's Ferry.
Utilities—Water and sanitary sewer is available from adjacent sites. Final capacity analysis will
be provided by Engineering and Utilities prior to final permitting, but is not anticipated to be an
issue.
Floodplain—Portions of the site fall within the 100 year floodplain.
Drainage Basin —This site is located within the Crystal Lake Basin as designated on the City of
North Augusta Stormwater Management's Drainage Basin Map. The 2014 Stormwater
Management Stream Water quality Assessment Summary lists the Pole Branch Basin as 100%
within the city limits and reports an overall fair water quality.This means studies have indicated
water quality impairments in several categories including the levels of nitrates, ammonia, and
manganese found in samples. This basin has been ranked as a high priority for water quality
improvements through best management practices and other water quality improvement
projects to decrease the possibility of overtopping ponds in the system.

SECTION 6: STAFF EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS
1. The size of the tract in question(§5.3.6.1).
Parcels 007-18-05-002, 007-18-05-004, 007-14-19-001, 007-14-19-005, 007-14-19-007,
007-17-02-005, 007-17-02-008, 007-18-06-001, 007-17-02-006, 007-17-02-004 and 007-
13-42-003 are a combined total of±9.58 acres.This is a small portion of the overall±195
acres contained in the PD.
2. Whetherthe proposal conforms with and furthers the goals of the Comprehensive Plan,
other adopted plans, and the goals, objectives, and policies of the Development Code,
§1.2(§5.3.6.2).
The rezoning request satisfies several core principles and key initiatives of the current
Comprehensive Plan. The D, Downtown Mixed Use designation supports flexibility in
development standards in order to encourage mixes of uses and infill development,
providing urban amenities to existing and new residents, a mixture of housing types,
connection to the Greeneway,encouraging pedestrian and bicycle access to the area,and
will access to cultural resources such as the Riverview Amphitheater and the Greenjackets
Stadium.
By changing these properties to the "D — Downtown Mixed Use" zoning, the Planning
Department envisions this as a first step to developing a Downtown Master Plan(Initiative
1)and updating the Downtown codes to better reflect the goals of revitalizing,redefining,
and allowing flexibility in fostering the development of a functional, vibrant downtown
core for the City. The city has identified Downtown as a priority investment area and a
place to encourage mixed use and progressive development(Initiative 2).
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§5.3.6.3 of the NADC:
a. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area;
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area. Downtown
zoning exists just north of the subject sites, and this site is seen as an
extension of the existing downtown commercial core.Through the PD, Phase
B has been programmed to be an urban town center, similar to the existing
downtown area.

Is, There will be any adverse effects on the capacity or safety of the portion of
street network influenced by the rezoning;
Access would be provided from existing roadways. The rezoning would not
affect the existing street network or capacity.
c. There will be any adverse effects on existing or planned public utility
services in the area;
The existing utility network accommodates the anticipated development
potential of the subject property based on the sizes of the sanitary sewer line
located near the site and availability of potable water and sanitary sewer from
the City of North Augusta.
d. Parking problems;or
Parking for the site will continue to be provided based on existing parking
agreements and the requirements of the North Augusta Development Code.
The applicant has provided a list of the properties and parking and confirms
that parking on the site will be sufficient at this time. Staff will continue to
monitor parking allocation as the sites continue to develop.
The following is an analysis of the Parking Space Allocation spreadsheet
attached to this report:
• The total parking spaces required per the PD use is 1,708. This is the
total number of parking spaces required per the PD for all lots in
Riverside Village, developed and non-developed based on the square
footages supplied for future development. This does not match the
amount required per the parking agreement.
• The total parking spaces for "public" parking per the parking
agreement is 1,388 parking spaces. This creates a difference of 320
spaces between the PD and the Parking Agreement.
• In gross numbers, the total number of parking spaces provided in the
decks and on-street is 1,767. This is, in total, greater than the 1,708
required by the PD.
• The total number of dedicated parking spaces is 1,618, which is 260
spaces over the parking required by the agreement, though it is still
less than the PD requires (1,708 spaces). "Dedicated" is meant as
parking assigned to a particular use or building.
• If the spaces reserved through the parking agreement are removed
(those spaces reserved for the Hotel, Medac Employees, retail, office
use,etc.) 378 spaces remain available for use.

Prepared by:Kuleigh Baker/Libby Hodges
Meeting Date:April 18,2019
Additional Staff Commentary:
• On-street parking for any given lot will not be labeled specifically for
those parcels. These spaces will be metered and open to the public.
They will not be reserved. These are intended for short term retail or
restaurant use.
• The parking decks are intended for longer-term parking.These spaces
are intended for conference attendees, retail and restaurant
employees,and those choosing to park in the deck if on-street parking
is not available.
• Event parking is handled separately through an event parking plan.This
includes the parking decks, surrounding temporary lots and surface
lots in downtown.
• Parking Is dynamic, so cars will come and go. All spaces will not be
occupied all the time.
• There will be a small portion of visitors that will not need additional
parking to visit the area. This form of development is meant to
encourage pedestrian and bicycle access through the Greeneway,
sidewalks,and proximity to residences.
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.
The proposed rezoning does not appear to create any additional
environmental impacts. Each site plan must comply with all applicable
development standards in the Development Code, including the state and
federal standards associated with stormwater management, water and air
pollution. City design standards and municipal codes are in place to address
noise pollution and excessive nighttime lighting.
4. Any recent change of character In the area due to installation of public facilities,other
zone changes, new growth trends,deterioration and development(§5.3.6.4(.
This rezoning directly addresses a change in character and new growth trends in the area.
With the completion of most of the infrastructure in and around Phase B of the
Hammond's Ferry Planned development, the outlines of what development can take
place are currently in place and will not be significantly altered. The only remaining
surface street that is not complete is Front Street in Phase A of the PD, which is outside
the bounds of what is proposed to be changed to the D, Downtown Mixed Use zoning at
this time.
S. The zoning districts and existing land uses of the surrounding properties (§5.3.6.5).
The proposed zoning classification will remain mixed use, which should not adversely
impact the current surrounding single-family residential uses or commercial
Page 7 of 10
Project Staff Report
RZM19-DOI Riverside Village Rezoning
Prepared by:Kulelgh Baker/Libby Hodges
Meeting Date:April 18,2019
development, as it is no different than what exists currently and what has been planned
for this property.
6. Whether the subject property is suitable for the uses to which it has been restricted
under the existing zoning classification (§5.3.6.6).
The existing Planned Development ordinance allows for uses in the D, Downtown zoning
district.The subject properties are suitable for the proposed uses under both the existing
and requested zoning district.
7. Whether the rezoning is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, especially
residential neighborhood stability and character(§5.3.6.7).
The rezoning is compatible with the existing residential neighborhood's stability and
character. A mix of building styles and uses are encouraged in the existing Planned
Development ordinance and the requested Downtown zoning. The Hammond's Ferry
Business District Association will continue the architectural review and approval of any
buildings within the agreed bounds of the property owner's association.
B. The length of time the subject property has remained vacant as zoned, if applicable
(§5.3.6.8).
Prior to approval of the PD, the property was vacant for many years. After the
introduction of the PD,the site has quickly developed into a thriving mixed use district.
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(§5.3.6.9).
The amount of land available in this particular area is limited by existing development to
the west,the Georgia Avenue to the east, Brick Pond Park to the north,and the Savannah
River to the south.
30.Whether the existing zoning was In error at the time of adoption (§5.3.6.10).
The existing zoning of PD, Planned Development has been in place since the adoption of
the Hammond's Ferry Planned Development Ordinance No. 2002-03 in December 2002.
This does not appear to have been done in error.

Meeting Date:April 18,2019
SECTION 7: STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The rezoning request directly addresses the change in character and development of the area.
Staff would like to note that this request was coordinated with the input and understanding of
the Planning and Development Department to address issues that have arisen with the existing
PD Ordinance.These issues prevented staff from processing variances or waivers that would have
been in the City's interest or that were the result of situations not anticipated by the PD,such as
opportunities for different mixes of uses and square footages in the project. This zoning change
will allow the developer additional discretion to respond to changing market and economies of
scale resulting from the existing successful development of the remainder of the sites in this
proposal.
With the completion of the infrastructure in and around Phase B of the Hammond's Ferry Planned
Development, the outlines of what development can take place are currently in place and will
not be significantly altered. This rezoning would serve to extend the "Downtown" to the river
area and formalize the recognition that this is an extension of our downtown. With most urban
form developments, the Planning Department should be less concerned with exactly what goes
within the buildings, instead focusing on general building location, public safety, and public
resource allocation.
Staff would like to emphasize that approval of this zoning does not in any way negate or alter any
existing agreements on the site.This includes the existing Parking Agreement and Development
Agreement. Just as in any private property owner's association, the Planning and Development
Department has a limited role in enforcing the covenants of private property owner associations
such as the Hammond's Ferry Business District Association, which will remain place as
incorporated in 2008.
However,this should not be taken as the Department abandoning its role in enforcing or creating
any development standards for the Downtown district. Staff recommends that this rezoning be
used to encourage the creation of a downtown parking plan, revision of the existing downtown
development codes, and Downtown Master Plan. As discussed with the Commissioners at
previous meetings,a downtown code work group has been convened and progress is being made
towards these code revisions. Further public involvement will be coordinated when these
changes are further developed.
It should be noted that any development proposals currently under review will not be affected
by these changes and will be reviewed by the existing PD criteria. This includes Parcel G, the
Stadium Parking Deck and the Amphitheater at Riverside Village.
Based on the analysis and evaluation of each review criteria outlined above,the Department has
determined the application is complete.A recommendation by the Planning Commission for the

Application Submittal and Review—Rezoning
Riverside Village—03/14/2019
I. A statement of the reasons for seeking the rezoning or conditional rezoning and
any proposed Justifications therefore:
We would like to submit the"29 acres of Riverside Village for rezoning from a Planned
Development Zoning to a Downtown District Zoning(3.3.3.5 D, Downtown Mixed-Use District);
specifically,the Georgia Avenue Overlay District.
Riverside Village is a unique mixed-use environment creating a bustling community where
constituents can live,work, and play. At It's completion,the village will house over 20 various
commercial uses as well as a stadium, an amphitheater,class A office space,a luxury hotel, and
numerous living opportunities.All of these additions to the community facilitate a true sense of
place as well as a commercial core in between the two cities of Augusta and North Augusta
spurring expansion into North Augusta's downtown.
The current Planned Development zoning limits Riverside Village from supporting a commercial
core.The desire to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space has been achieved
and will continue to be a priority for the village.The rezoning of Riverside Village to a
downtown district will not affect or conflict with any agreements held between the city or any
other entities.
