duplication, the city’s regulations pertaining to land use and development. It is designed to
make it possible for all of those concerned with land use and development to have access to all
relevant city legislation in one convenient Chapter that is capable of being published and
distributed as a separate and comprehensive segment of the Code of Ordinances, City of North
Augusta, South Carolina, hereinafter referred to as the City Code, as a whole. The specific
objectives of this Chapter are:
1.2.1.1 To protect the health, safety and general welfare; and

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 previously approved 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 restrictions imposed by the Hammond’s Ferry Business District Association,
incorporated in 2008.
The most recent revision to the general development plan was for Phase B, 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 have
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.
On April 18, 2019, the North Augusta Planning Commission reviewed a request by Greenstone,
LLC to rezone 11 parcels in the Hammond’s Ferry PD from PD, Planned Development to D,
Downtown Mixed Use. City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2019-02 on May 20, 2019 amending
the official zoning map for these 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, 007-1 7-02-006,
007-17-02-004. and 007-13-42-003.

Topography – The parcel was previously graded and 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 wastewater are available from Wanninger Run.
Floodplain – Portions of the site fall within the 100-year floodplain. Applicable FIRM panels
have been included with the staff report attachments.
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
Staff provides the following information for context related to the Commission’s deliberation.
Descriptions and commentary added by staff will be italicized.
1. The size of the tract in question (§5.3.6.1).
The total acreage of TPNs 007-17-02-009, 007-17-02-010, 007-17-02-011, 007-17-02-
012, and 007-17-02-013 included in the requested rezoning is approximately 0.5 acres.
This is a small portion of the overall ± 195 acres contained in the existing PD.
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, §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 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 step in the development of the Downtown Master Plan
(Initiative 7.2) and updating the Downtown codes to reflect better 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 infill
development (Initiative 7.3).
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 NADC §5.3.6.3.
a. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area;
The surrounding area contains a mix of commercial and residential development.
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.
b. There will be any adverse effects on the capacity or safety of the portion of
street network influenced by the rezoning;
There is an existing street system in the Riverside Village area and staff see no
negative effects to the street network. 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.
c. There will be any adverse effects on existing or planned public utility services
in the area;
This is an undeveloped lot in an existing subdivision and the infrastructure is in
place to support the development of the parcel. 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.
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).

Meeting Date: December 20, 2023
Page 8 of 10
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.
5. 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
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. The subject property is suitable for residential and
commercial development.
7. Whether the rezoning is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, especially
residential neighborhood stability and character (§5.3.6.7).
There are currently a mix of housing types and densities in Riverside Village. 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.
8. The length of time the subject property has remained vacant as zoned, if applicable
(§5.3.6.8).
Prior to the 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).

Page 9 of 10
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.
10. 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.
SECTION 7: RECOMMENDATION
The Department has determined the application is complete. Staff recommends that TPNs 007-
17-02-009, 007-17-02-010, 007-17-02-011, 007-17-02-012, and 007-17-02-013 be rezoned from
PD, Planned Development to D, Downtown Mixed Use. The five parcels appear to have been
inadvertently left off of the 2019 Riverside Village application.
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.
The Planning Commission may recommend approval or denial of this request according to
NADC § 5.1.3.
