INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES

BILL NO. 2018-01 - FffiST READING AN ORDINANCE TO ANNEX AND ZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 131 NORTH LAKEWOOD DRIVE, SAID PROPERTY BEING SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED IN THE FLORENCE COUNTY TAX RECORDS AS TAX MAP PARCEL 90009-04-011.

An Ordinance to annex and zone property located at 13 I North Lakewood Drive, said property being specifically designated in the Florence County Tax Records as Tax Map Parcel 90009-04-0 I I was passed on first reading.

Mayor Pro tern Brand made a motion to pass Bill No. 20I8-0I on first reading. Councilman Willis seconded the motion.

Mr. Jerry Dudley, Planning Manager reported this is a request to annex property located at 131 North Lakewood Drive into the City of Florence and to zone (NC-IS) Neighborhood Conservation-IS District. The property is shown more specifically on Florence County Tax Map 90009-04-0 I I.

The lot is currently the site of a single-family dwelling. City water and sewer services are currently available and there is no cost to extend utility services.

On December I 2, 20 I 7, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter and voted unanimously, 6-0 to recommend the zoning of R-1, Single-Family Residential District. At the time of the hearing, the Unified Development Ordinance had not yet been adopted; however, it was noted that property in the Lakewood Subdivision would have the new zoning designation of NC-1 S, Neighborhood Conservation-IS, which is synonymous with the R-I zoning designation.

City Staff recommends annexation and concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation to zone the property NC-IS, Neighborhood Conservation-IS.

City Council voted unanimously to pass Bill No. 2018-0 I on first reading.

BILL NO. 2018-02 - FIRST READING


AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY OF FLORENCE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE SECTIONS 1-2.7.2, 1-2.8.2, AND 2-6.1.1.

An Ordinance to amend the City of Florence Unified Development Ordinance Sections 1-2.7.2, 1-2.8.2 and 2-6.1.1 was passed on first reading.

Mayor Pro tern Brand made a motion to pass Bill No. 2018-02 on first reading. Councilman Willis seconded the motion.

Mr. Jerry Dudley, Planning Manager stated there is a need for minor text amendments to clarity intent and correct oversights in the Unified Development Ordinance.

Text amendments have been prepared by the Planning, Research and Development Department in an effort to clarify the intent of the ordinance and allow for reasonable development within the City.

Amendments to Sections 1-2. 7.2 and 1-2.8.2 clarify the conditions related to the use and development standards for multi-family housing. In addition, it raises the number of units allowed per floor from eight (8) to twenty-four (24).

Amendment to Section 2-6.1.1 will add height requirements and alternate setback requirements for the Activity Center (AC), General Commercial (CG), Campus (CA), Light Industrial (IL), Heavy Industrial (IH), and Agricultural/Rural (AR) zoning districts. Section F is referenced in the "Height Requirements" column of Table 2-6.1 .1 but was inadvertently, omitted from the text of the ordinance. The proposed text is similar to the City's previous zoning ordinance in that it allows structures above the maximum allowed height with an increase in side and rear setback requirements. The City Fire Department was contacted regarding the proposed text and had no concerns.

City staff recommends the proposed text amendments as they guide development in a manner consistent with the stated purpose of the Unified Development Ordinance.

Council voted unanimously to pass Bill No. 2018-02 on first reading.

BILL NO. 2018-03 - FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE SEWER AND WATER TAP FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE CITY OF FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA.

An Ordinance revising the Sewer and Water Tap Fee Schedule for the City of Florence, South Carolina was passed on first reading.

Councilwoman Moore made a motion to pass Bill No. 2018-03. Councilman Willis seconded the motion.

Mr. Michael Hemingway, Director of Utilities reported on issues that impact the sewer and water tap connection costs.

The first issue is sewer and water tap connections that require additional effort and cost. Presently, the City sewer and tap fee schedules are based on the costs of customary and traditional connections without special requirements and restrictions. When a sewer and/or water connection requested by a customer must cross, or be bored under a SCDOT or other public street, or a sewer connection involves connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet, the installation of a tap by the City requires more than normal efforts and costs. For these special connections it is recommended that the sewer and water tap fee schedule be revised to authorize the City to charge tap fees to include actual costs.

Mr. Thomas Chandler, Director of Finance reported on the second issue, the water tap fee increase for "Radio Read" (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) AMI expansion. The AMI system

· provides for more accurate billing and allows improved work efficiency by allowing the meter ., reading staff more time for infrastructure mairiienance. Additionally, the automated system assists in the


reduction of system water loss by identifying water leaks on service connections and is also able to detect occurrences of meter tampering and water theft. Through the expansion of the AMI system, the City will be able to deliver better customer service. To utilize the benefits of the investment in the AMI system, the meter box and the meter and transmitter must be updated at each customer service connection with AMI compliant components. The installation cost of this updated equipment requires that the water tap fee rates be revised to reflect the increased costs of such components.

The last issue is related to updating the Unit Contributory Loading Chart. Mr. Clint Moore, Development Manager reported that the Unit Contributory Loading Chart is developed by SC DHEC and was recently updated in 2015. This chart estimates the per day gallons used by various businesses, services and residences. The Chart is used by the City to determine the per day gallon demand and cost by establishment type. The Chart is also used by SC DHEC to reduce system capacities by subtracting permitted flows with each new permit issued. To be consistent with the SC DHEC loading guidelines, city staff recommends the adoption of the 2015 SC DHEC update to the Unit Contributory Loading Chart.

(Councilwoman Moore left the meeting at 4:00 p.m.) (Mayor Pro tern Brand left the meeting at 4:20 p.m.) Council voted unanimously to pass Bill No. 2018-03 on first reading.

INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION

RESOLUTION NO. 2018 - 01 A RESOLUTION IN RECOGNITION OF THE TRINITY BYRNES ATHLETIC TEAMS.

A Resolution in recognition of the Trinity Byrnes Athletic teams was adopted by Council. Councilwoman Williams-Blake read the Resolution and recognized the members of the Girls

Varsity Tennis Team, the Boys Varsity Golf Team, the Boys Varsity Football Team, and the Boys Varsity Basketball Team.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018 - 02 A RESOLUTION TO AMEND RESOLUTION 2012-27 OUTLINING THE WRECKER POLICY OF THE CITY OF FLORENCE AND TO ADOPT THE WRECKER AND STORAGE FEE SCHEDULE DEVELOPED AND UPDATED ANNUALLY BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL.

A Resolution to amend Resolution No. 2012-27 outlining the Wrecker Policy of the City of Florence and to adopt the Wrecker and Storage Fee Scheduled developed and updated annually by the South Carolina Highway Patrol was adopted as amended by Council.

Councilman Willis made a motion to pass Resolution No. 2018-02. Councilwoman WilliamsBlake seconded the motion.

Captain Dave McClure of the Police Department reported to Council that the last Resolution for the City's current Wrecker Policy occurred in September, 2012. This Resolution set a flat rate fee for all wrecker services. It did not take into consideration annual towing costs, increases or other typical special wrecker operation situations requiring much greater expense by the wrecker services. This issue continually comes up every 3-5 years. Basically the City's fees do not keep up and simply don't reflect the reasonable and customary charges that wrecker service providers receive by other agencies. Recently, a number ofrequests have been received, from wrecker and towing services that are on the City's rotation list, to increase the allowable charges. The proposed Resolution amends the current wrecker rotation policy of the City and brings it in line with the Florence County Sheriff's Office as well as the local office of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The Wrecker and Storage Fee Schedule is reviewed and set by the


SC Highway Patrol from a state wide cost survey that is completed annually. Our current wrecker policy only identifies two types of wreckers however; this Resolution amendment recognizes three classes of wreckers and incorporates the Highway Patrol fees for standard towing, special operations, no tow or for after hours vehicle release. The adoption of the proposed fee schedule would reduce the conflict between the Police Department as well as wrecker service providers.

Councilman Jebaily expressed his concerns with the storage fees that are applied after the first 24 hours that a vehicle is in storage. The proposed Resolution would amend the storage fee to $33.00 per day after the first 24 hours. The current rate the City charges is $20.00 per day after the first 24 hours.

Councilman Jebaily made a motion to amend Resolution No. 2018-02 to maintain the current rate of $20.00 per day after the first 24 hours for the storage of vehicles. Councilwoman Ervin seconded the motion.

Following a lengthy discussion to retain the lower storage fee, Council voted 4-3 to adopt Resolution No. 2018-02 as amended. Voting in favor of retaining the lower storage fee of $20.00 was Councilman Jebaily, Councilwoman Ervin, Councilman Willis and Councilwoman Moore. Voting against the amendment was Mayor Wukela, Councilwoman Williams-Blake and Mayor Pro tern Brand.

Voting in favor of the underlying Resolution was Councilman Jebaily, Councilwoman Ervin, Councilman Willis and Councilwoman Moore. Voting in opposition to the underlying Resolution was Mayor Wukela, Councilwoman Williams-Blake and Mayor Pro tern Brand.

RESOLUTI'ON NO. 2018 - 03 A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVING DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT GRANT FOR THIRD QUARTER, FY 18.

(NOTE: This Resolution will be discussed in Executive Session)

REPORT TO COUNCIL

APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

Construction and Maintenance Board of Adjustments and Appeals

Councilman Jebaily deferred his appointment for a Mechanical Contractor to the Construction and Maintenance Board of Adjustment and Appeals until the March City Council meeting.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Mayor Wukela stated there are a variety of matters that need to be discussed in Executive Session. One is a discussion of negotiations incident to matters relating to a proposed Economic Development [30-4-70(a) (5)]. There are also Contractual Matters and matters pertaining to Legal Advice.

Before entering into Executive Session, Mayor Wukela gave the following preface to one of the items that will be discussed.

FLORENCE SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE ISSUE

Mayor Wukela stated that one of the matters to be discussed in Executive Session involves the downtown school redevelopment projects. In February, 2016, the Florence School District 1 School Board, Francis Marion University and the City of Florence entered into a corporative effort to improve educational op'portunities while enhancing livability and contliiue the revitalization efforts in downtown


and the surrounding neighborhoods. FSD 1 agreed to renovate the Poynor Adult Education School for use as a magnet high school for performing arts and health sciences. They also agreed to renovate the McClenaghan building in downtown with the expectation that the Poynor Adult Education program and the administrative offices would be moved from Poynor to the renovated McClenaghan building. FSD 1 also agreed to raze and rebuild the Beck Early Childhood Education facility. The City's portion of this agreement was to borrow $12 million from TIF funds in support of this project. Francis Marion University was to assist in the development of curricula for the magnet school The City borrowed the funds , which are being held in trust. There has been no collaboration or communication between FSD 1 and Frances Marion University to plan the curriculum. There has been construction activity at the Beck Early Childhood Education facility but none at McClenaghan or Poynor. On January 16, 2018, the City and FMU through the Mayor and Dr. Carter wrote to the FSD 1 board chairman to inquire formally as to whether, and if so, when the FSDl planned to renovate Poynor for the magnet school. Recently, the School Board voted to reject a $10.8 million bid for McClenaghan renovations and instead to begin in earnest the planning, design, construction and the curriculum of the Poynor magnet school. Following this, the City received a letter from the Board Chairman advising of the Board's decision and sighting unforeseen delays and costs. It is not clear in the reporting of the Board action or the letter that was received whether the McClenaghan element was abandoned permanently or not. There are legal implications associated with these agreements and with the associated borrowing. Given the time that has passed thus far and the School District's recent decision to evidently abandon a portion of the project and to begin work with the magnet school, questions arised as to how the City and FMU should proceed.

Council will receive legal advice on this matter in Executive Session.

Councilman Willis made a motion to enter into Executive Session. Councilwoman Moore seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Council entered into Executive Session at 2:33 p.m.

Councilwoman Williams-Blake left the meeting at 3:43 p.m.

Mayor Wukela reconvened the regular meeting at 3:47 p.m.

Mayor Wukela stated a variety of economic development, contractual and legal matters were discussed in Executive Session.

The following Resolution was discussed in Executive Session and requires action by Council.

RESOLUTI'ON NO. 2018 - 03 A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVING DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT GRANT FOR THIRD QUARTER, FY 18.

A Resolution of City Council approving downtown redevelopment grant for third quarter, FY 18 was adopted by Council.

Councilwoman Ervin made a motion to adopt Resolution No.2018-03. Councilman Jebaily seconded the motion.

Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 2018-03 .


FLORENCE SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE ISSUE

Mayor Wukela stated that Council received legal advice on this issue. Significant concerns were expressed in Executive Session as to whether, given the time that has passed and decisions regarding McClenaghan, the district will ultimately be able to perform with regards to the magnet school. However it is also evident that the City and the University are frustrated and are having difficultly communicating. After extensive discussion, the City is committed to the magnet school and believes that it is important for this community. While the University shares the City's concerns, they also share the City's commitment and are working to develop curricula that will be critical to this process as a success going forward . Council remains committed to the magnet school and will ask that the university continue with the City in that continued support. Council has made their insistence clear that going forward there is a need to have regular information on the progress of this school in a formal manner. They have also made it clear that they expect Mayor Wukela to continue with the communication in a rigorous way. Mayor Wukela stated he will and he will be asking the leaders from the University and the school district, who have been participating in this process from its inception, to meet so a mutual understanding of expectations can be reached moving forward.

No action is necessary at this time on this issue. Periodic updates will continue on the progress as they materialize.

ADJOURN

Councilwoman Ervin made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Councilman Jebaily seconded the motion,

The meeting was adjourned at 4:37 p.m.

Section F is referenced in the "Height Requirements" column of Table 2-6.1.1 but was inadvertently omitted from the text of the ordinance. The proposed text is similar to the City's previous zoning ordinance in that it allows structures above the maximum allowed height with an increase in side and rear setback requirements. The City Fire Department was contacted regarding the proposed text and had no concerns.

(5) City staff recommends the proposed text amendments as they guide development in a manner consistent with the stated purpose of the Unified Development Ordinance.

2. Build-to Line. For all development in the CBD district, primary structures shall be built on the front property line (the "build-to line"). Portions of the fac;ade that are recessed for recessed front entrances are permitted to be set back from the build-to line by up to three feet. All buildings shall meet these requirements, except under the following conditions:

a. Where there is an existing public sidewalk, adjacent to the development, the building must be set back in order to provide the additional space to extend the sidewalk onto the private lot to construct a sidewalk of the same width as existing and in no case less than eight feet in width. In this case, the building shall be constructed to a build-to line that is coterminous with the edge of the sidewalk that is provided on the private lot.

b. Where the use is established in an existing building that exceeds the build-to line as of the effective date of this Unified Development Ordinance. In this case, the existing building may:

1. Remain in its current location, utilizing the front setback as:

a. A yard or courtyard;

1. Constructed at the build-to line; or

2. Set back to match the average front setback along the same side of the same street segment in the same zoning district, provided that the lot proposed for development or redevelopment is not counted in the calculation.

d. Buildings may be set back up to a distance of 20 feet from the build-to line in order to provide a designated public plaza or outdoor service area according to the following standards:

1. The public plaza or outdoor service area shall be designated upon development approval and

maintained as a publically accessible space.

2. Any service uses that take place in the designated setback area must directly relate to the activity of the primary ground floor use (e.g., outdoor seating for a restaurant, outdoor display area for a retail store, etc.)

3. When the area is not being used as an outdoor service area, it shall remain generally accessible to the public and function as an extension of the public sidewalk environment.

E. CBD, AC, or DS District Encroachments.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance - First Reading

DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: City Manager/Finance/Utilities

I. ISSUE UNDER CONSIDERATION

VI. c. Bill No. 2018-03 Second Reading

For consideration is an ordinance revising the sewer and water tap rate schedules to address three separate and distinct issues that impact these schedules.

II. CURRENT STATUS/PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN

A. Sewer and Water Tap Connections Requiring Additional Effort and Cost:

1. In some cases sewer and water connections requested by a customer must cross, or be bored under, an SCOOT or other public street. The installation of a tap in such cases may require more than the usual and customary effort and cost due to encroachment permit requirements for road resurfacing, boring and encasement work, night work, etc.

2. Additionally, installation of a connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet involves more than the typical and routine work and cost.

B. Water Tap Fee Increase for "Radio Read" (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Expansion:

1. In 2016, the City of Florence completed the installation of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system in the Timmonsville service area acquired by the City in 2013. The AMI system provides for remote monitoring of the Timmonsville service area.

2. The AMI system provides accurate hourly data measurement, monthly bills based on actual (not estimated) usage, more efficient billing question resolution, remote customer meter leak identification, and the monitoring of meter tampering and water theft.

3. The City will be expanding the AMI system infrastructure during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2018 and 2019 to provide coverage for water system customers outside the Timmonsville service area. The expansion will incorporate the installation of four additional "Tower Gateway Base Stations" throughout the remaining City service area.

4. The expansion will require the conversion of each service connection to meter boxes, meters, and transceiver units that are compatible with the AMI system.

C. Update to Unit Contributory Loading Chart:

In May of 2015 the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control updated the hydraulic loading (Gallons per day) unit contributory loading to all domestic wastewater treatment facilities chart.

Ill. POINTS TO CONSIDER

A. Sewer and/or Water Tap Connections Requiring Additional Effort and Cost:

1. The present City sewer and tap fee schedules are based on the costs of customary and traditional connections without special requirements and restrictions.

2. When a sewer and/or water connection requested by a customer must cross, or be bored under a SCOOT or other public street, or a sewer connection involves connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet, the installation of a tap by the City requires more than normal efforts and costs.

3. For these special connections it is recommended that the sewer and water tap fee schedule be revised to authorize the City to charge tap fees to include actual costs.

B. Water Tap Fee Increase for "Radio Read" (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Expansion:

1. The AMI system provides for more accurate billing and allows improved work efficiency by affording the meter reading staff more time for infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, the automated system assists in the reduction of system water loss by identifying water leaks on service connections and assists in more quickly detecting occurrences of meter tampering and water theft.

2. Through the expanded use of the AMI system, the City will be in a position to deliver better customer service, rendering improved customer satisfaction.

3. To utilize the benefits of the investment in the AMI system, the meter box and the meter and transmitter at each customer service connection must be updated with AMI compliant components. The installation cost of this equipment requires that the water tap fee rates be revised to reflect increased costs of such components.

C. Update to Unit Contributory Loading Chart:

To be consistent with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control loading guidelines, city staff recommends an update to the City's current Unit Contributory Loading Chart.

D. The last change to City sewer and water tap fee rate schedule was approved by City Council in June 2007 and became effective January 1, 2008. A water and sewer rate schedule for the Timmonsville system acquired by the City was added in November 2013.

E. The proposed sewer and water tap rates schedule, to become effective immediately upon City Council adoption, is recommended to address and offset these costs.

IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

ORDINANCE NO. 2018-__

AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE SEWER AND WATER TAP FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE CITY OF FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA

WHEREAS, operational efficiency, reliability, water conservation and improved customer service of the combined water and sewer system of the City of Florence is important and necessary for the health, welfare, and public good of the citizens; and

WHEREAS, the City recognizes that more than the usual and customary effort and cost may be involved when a sewer or water connection requested by a customer requires that the installation of the tap must cross, or be bored under, an SCOOT or other public street; and

WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the installation of a connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet also involves more than usual and customary work and cost; and

WHEREAS, the City has concluded that a revision of the sewer and water tap fee schedule is necessary to ensure an equitable allocation of costs for water and sewer taps that require more than the usual and customary effort and cost; and

WHEREAS, the City also recognizes the benefits of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system currently operating in the Timmonsville service area; and

WHEREAS, the City has the desire to expand the AMI system to all customers of the combined water and sewer system of the City of Florence; and

6,000.00

3,000.00

(6) In some cases a sewer connection requested by a customer must cross, or be bored under, an SCOOT or other public street. The installation of a tap in such cases may involve more than the usual and customary effort and cost due to encroachment permit requirements for road resurfacing, boring and encasement work, night work, etc. Also, any installation that requires the use of specialized equipment which is not in the City's inventory, or that involves a connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet, entails more than the usual, reasonable and customary work and cost shall be deemed not feasible.

Where, in the sole discretion of the City, installation of a tap by city crews is not feasible the owner (customer) may choose to engage a South Carolina-licensed utility contractor to install the tap.

Should the owner (customer) decide to move forward with City installation, the City Manager or his designee will determine the City's additional cost associated with the installation of the tap. This amount will be in addition to the charges shown in items (1) through (5), above, and must be paid before the City will undertake work on the tap installation.

In addition, a connection fee will be charged at sixty cents per gallon per day based on the unit contributory loading chart of estimated daily flows if the tap is located in the city corporate limits. If the tap is located within the Town of Timmonsville designated service area, the sixty cents per gallon per day connection fee does not apply, and the charges will be based only on the prices shown in items (1) through (6), above.

Tap sizes to be approved by the City.

If the owner (customer) has a South Carolina-licensed utility contractor make the tap under an encroachment permit issued by the City Engineering division, then the charges shown in items (1) through (6), above, do not apply. Taps in the City will then be based solely on sixty cents per gallon per day as obtained from the unit contributory loading chart. The City is to be notified at least two working days before the tap is to be made. When a customer engages a contractor, rather than the City, to install a sewer tap, the customer and his contractor are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and paying all costs associated with the installation.

(f) For a sewer connection outside the City, the connection fee will be three dollars per gallon per day based on the unit contributory loading chart of estimated daily flows plus the following if the tap is to be done by the City:

(1) For a 4-inch tap.. .... ......... ... ....... ... ... .. ... ... ....... ... .. .... ..... ... ...... $825.00

,, , , · ' (2) For a 6-inch tap with manhole. ... ... .... ... .. ... ... ... .. . .. ... . ... ... ... .. . .... .. . 7,500.00

(3) For a 6-inch tap without a manhole......... .. . ... .... .. .. . ......... ... ... ...... .. 3,000.00

(4) For a 8-inch tap with manhole... ....... .. ... ... ... ... ... .... ..... ... ..... ......... . 9,000.00

(5) For a 8-inch tap without manhole...... ... ... .... .. ... ...... ... ... ... ... .. ... ...... 4,500.00

(6) In some cases a sewer connection requested by a customer must cross, or be bored under, an SCOOT or other public street. The installation of a tap in such cases may involve more than the usual and customary effort and cost due to encroachment permit requirements for road resurfacing, boring and encasement work, night work, etc. Also, any installation that requires the use of specialized equipment which is not in the City's inventory, or that involves a connection to a sewer main with depth greater than six feet, entails more than the usual, reasonable and customary work and cost shall be deemed not feasible.


Should the owner (customer) decide to move forward with City installation, the City Manager or his designee will determine the City's additional cost associated with the installation of the tap. This amount will be in addition to the charges shown in items (1) through (5), above, and must be paid before the City will undertake work on the tap installation.

In addition , a connection fee will be charged at three dollars per gallon per day based on the unit contributory loading chart of estimated daily flows if the tap is located outside the city corporate limits. If the tap is located within the Town of Timmonsville designated service area, the three dollars per gallon per day connection fee does not apply, and the charges will be based only on the prices shown in items (1) through (6), above.

Tap sizes to be approved by the City.

If the owner (customer) has a South Carolina-licensed utility contractor make the tap under an encroachment permit issued by the City Engineering division, then the charges shown in items (1) through (6), above, do not apply.

VII. d. Bill No. 2018-07 First Reading

An Ordinance to amend Planned Development District Ordinance 201 7-18 to update the development plan.


I. ISSUE UNDER CONSIDERATION: Request to amend Planned Development District Ordinance 201 7-18 to update the development plan.

II. CURRENT STATUS/PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: (1) Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 13, 2018 regarding

this matter and voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend the proposed amendment.

(2) The Planned Development District (Ordinance 2015-05) was updated on January 12, 2015 to include defined development standards as well as an updated development and traffic flow plan. On June 12, 2017, the PDD was again amended to reconfigure roadways to accommodate changes to the Chick-Fil-A parcel (Ordinance 2017-18).

III. POINTS TO CONSIDER: (1) The Magnolia Mall is proposing an update to the currently approved

development plan. Attachment B (Proposed Site Plan) illustrates the proposed changes which include:

a. A temporary rear access connection to the Chick-Fil-A parcel (00099-01-100) using the existing Dunbarton Road and Mall Access Drive which was approved in 2017 will not be constructed. In lieu of this connection, shared parking will allow additional ingress/egress paths for the Chick-Fil-A.

b. The Burger King parcel (00099-01-055) will be reconfigured to provide additional area to develop a new outparcel site (Tenant D). Shared parking and access will be developed for access to the mall ring road with the adjacent Chick-Fil-A development.

c. A new outparcel will be developed for Tenant D adjacent to the Burger King outparcel. Shared parking and access to the adjacent redeveloped Burger King parcel will be provided. Future connection to planned additional parking for potential development to the east ofIHOP will be established.

d. The main mall freestanding sign will be relocated from its current location in the future Tenant D site to a curbed island location near the adjusted eastern boundary for the new Tenant D site.

- ---------

e. Closure of the access ramp to the middle of Magnolia Mall from David H. McLeod Boulevard will be accomplished during this development work. An encroachment permit will be coordinated with and obtained from the SCDOT.

(2) As previously approved, all proposed development including landscaping, signage, parking, impervious areas, and open areas will be reviewed using the development standards for the B-3 zoning designation per the 2016 City of Florence Zoning Ordinance.

IV. OPTIONS: City Council may: (1) Approve the request as presented based on the information submitted. (2) Defer the request should additional information be needed. (3) Suggest other alternatives. (4) Deny the request.
