This includes disabilities which cause mobility issues, cognitive issues, emotional and mental issues, blindness, and deafness; and WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of all of North Augusta’s citizens to acknowledge and recognize that it is not disability that is the problem, but old attitudes and unjust barriers that often keep individuals with disabilities from reaching their individual potential; and WHEREAS, every North Augusta citizen can be a part of the solution that allows for a more accessible and inclusive society for all by, becoming an ally, being advocate, hiring individuals who have disabilities, and most importantly, by insisting that people who have disabilities have a real seat at the table where decisions and policies are made; and WHEREAS, the City of Augusta commends state and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individuals who make an effort to spread awareness for access and inclusion.

Descriptions and commentary added by staff will be italicized. 1. The size of the tract in question (§18.11.5). The total acreage of the requested rezoning is approximately 128.79 acres. 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 (§18.11.5.2). The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map shows this parcel as Residential Single Family. The Comprehensive Plan Goal 4.3 prioritizes infill development. Existing infrastructure and amenities are available. Strategy 6.2 generally supports provision of varying home types to provide a more varied housing stock to attract and retain a more diverse population. The property is easily connected to other residential developments in the area, with the Sudlow Crossing Phase 1 neighborhood adjacent to the proposed neighborhood. 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 §18.11.5.3. a. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area; The surrounding area contains mostly residential development just south of the subject property. The property is located just south of Interstate 20 and has a proposed state park to the east (Misty Lake property) and west of the property is undeveloped. There are several residential neighborhoods in the general vicinity of the subject property, with commercial development closer to the intersection of Ascauga Lake Road and Edgefield Road. The proposed rezoning is compatible with nearby development. b. There will be any adverse effects on the capacity or safety of the portion of street network influenced by the rezoning; Any negative effects on traffic flow will be mitigated prior to construction. The overall townhouse development will require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) to be submitted as required by NADC §10.5 for consideration with any major subdivision preliminary plat application. ATTACHMENT #12 - P&D PROJECT REPORT Page 5 of 30 Project Staff Report RZM24-001 North Augusta-Ascauga Lake Drive Prepared by: La’Stacia Reese Meeting Date: March 20, 2024 Page 6 of 8 c. There will be any adverse effects on existing or planned public utility services in the area; Any infrastructure improvements must be provided by the developer. A determination of the adequacy and availability of potable water and sanitary sewer will be analyzed by the City Engineer at the time of major subdivision preliminary plat approval. This application may be approved subject to the deferral of development until all public facilities are deemed available and adequate. Staff does not anticipate any issues with the provision of utilities. d. Parking problems; or Parking will be required to meet City standards at the time of site plan approval. Any waivers or variances must be addressed by the Board of Zoning Appeals, as applicable. Guest parking and recreational vehicle parking must be addressed. 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. Noise and lighting will be subject to the standards of the Development Code and Municipal Code, as applicable. 4. Any recent change of character in the area due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration and development (§18.11.5.4). The surrounding area has not seen any significant recent zoning changes; however, at the corner of Ascauga Lake Road and Edgefield Road, a convenience store with gasoline sales is proposed in the vicinity of the subject parcel, along with Alidade, which is situated near I-520. The Ascauga Lake Road corridor is an important thoroughfare to numerous residential developments and serves as a connector from Graniteville to Edgefield Road, where Edgefield Road connects to I-20, and I-520. This development will be similar in character to the surrounding area. 5. The zoning districts and existing land uses of the surrounding properties (§18.11.5.5). The proposed development is zoned R-7 and R-10 and will consist of single-family townhouses and single-family detached homes. The surrounding properties are zoned mostly for residential use. The proposed residential use provides additional housing options in this part of the City. Open spaces and green spaces provided in the plan allow ATTACHMENT #12 - P&D PROJECT REPORT Page 6 of 30 Project Staff Report RZM24-001 North Augusta-Ascauga Lake Drive Prepared by: La’Stacia Reese Meeting Date: March 20, 2024 Page 7 of 8 additional recreational opportunities. The proposed development is compatible with surrounding area and existing developments. 6. Whether the subject property is suitable for the uses to which it has been restricted under the existing zoning classification (§18.11.5.6). The subject property is suitable for residential development. 7. Whether the rezoning is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, especially residential neighborhood stability and character (§18.11.5.7). There are currently a mix of housing types and densities along Ascauga Lake Road, with majority of housing outside of the City limits. The proposed townhomes and single-family detached homes would be compatible with existing multifamily and single- family homes in the vicinity. The adjacent parcels are zoned R-7 and R-10, which is suitable for townhomes and single-family homes. 8. The length of time the subject property has remained vacant as zoned, if applicable (§18.11.5.8). The current site is undeveloped and has been zoned R-10, Medium Lot, Single-Family Residential since the adoption of the Official Zoning Map with the 2008 North Augusta Development Code and the adoption of the 2023 North Augusta Development Code. 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 (§18.11.5.9). The change in zoning from R-10 to R-7 will diversify the available land for market-driven uses. There are not many large, undeveloped parcels within the City Limits in the surrounding area with R-7 zoning classification with the exception of the adjacent parcel, which already has R-7 zoning classification. 10. Whether the existing zoning was in error at the time of adoption (§18.11.5.10). The subject parcel is in an area where most the surrounding area lies outside of the City limits. The adjacent parcels that are within the City Limits have mixed zoning districts and does not appear to have been an error at the time of adoption.
