AGENDA #7
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: University Application to Modify Development Plan
DATE: June 14, 2004
Tonight the Council continues the Public Hearing from May 17, 2004, regarding an application from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill requesting approval of a Modification of a Development Plan for the central campus. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 169,000 square feet of floor area to the main campus and relocate a previously approved chiller plant and 600 parking spaces to the future Bell Tower parking deck.
Adoption of Resolution A, B, C, or D, would approve the Development Plan Modification with conditions. Adoption of Resolution E would deny the request.
This memorandum reviews the issues raised on May 17, and offers a revised recommendation for Council action. We also outline key procedural issues, and summarize the changes to the Development Plan that are requested.
A full set of application materials is available for review in the Town Clerk’s Office and in the Chapel Hill Planning Department. Materials can also be accessed through the Town’s website, http://www.townofchapelhill.org. A link at the bottom of the main page leads to materials describing UNC’s Development Plan and this application for a modification of the Development Plan.
PROPOSED CHANGES
Proposed changes to the 2003 Development Plan are described and evaluated in the attached May 17 memorandum. A summary listing of the proposed changes follows:
New Structure: 130,000 square foot physician’s building.
Building Additions: 10,000 square foot addition to Morehead Planetarium.
28,000 square foot addition to Fetzer Gym.
1,600 square foot addition to 410 East Franklin St.
Infrastructure Modifications: Relocate the proposed Science Complex chiller plant to the future Bell Tower parking deck.
Parking Modifications: Relocate the 600 parking spaces from the proposed Science Complex parking deck to the proposed 1,000 space Bell Tower parking deck, increasing that deck to a proposed 1,600 spaces.
PROCEDURES
The OI-4 zoning district allows minor changes to the Development Plan to be approved by the Town Manager. Major changes are considered to be Modifications, and go through the same review and approval process as an initial Development Plan application (90 day review period, final action by the Town Council following a Public Hearing). The ordinance states that the Town Council shall approve a Development Plan unless it finds that the proposed development would not:
1. Maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare; or
2. Maintain the value of adjacent property.
The University has prepared and submitted an application for a Modification of the Development Plan. That application is the subject of this memorandum. Notification of the application was mailed to property owners within 1,000 feet of the boundary of the area covered by the Development Plan approved in October 2001.
KEY ISSUES
The following issues were raised and discussed at the June 16 Public Hearing. We offer a comment on each.
South Road Pedestrian Bridge: Council members asked the applicant how it intends to address pedestrian safety and control graffiti on two proposed pedestrian bridges across South Road.
Comment: For a response to this issue please refer to the June 9, 2004, letter from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (see Attachment 1).
South Columbia Street /South Road Intersection: During the Public Hearing a Council member expressed concern about the proposed redesigned South Columbia Street/South Road intersection and its impact on pedestrian movements.
Comment: The applicant’s most recent traffic impact analysis recommends that the separate right turn lane from South Columbia Street onto South Road be eliminated to provide a tighter urban-type intersection. The analysis states that this design will improve pedestrian safety at the intersection, as well as increasing the distance between the intersection and the existing service driveway on the north side of South Road into the Venable site.
The redesign of this intersection was also stipulated as part of the October 3, 2001, Development Plan approval.
For additional comment please refer to page 2 of the June 9, 2004, letter from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (see Attachment 1).
Bicycle Activated Traffic Signals: A Council member asked about installing bicycle activated traffic signal loops at signalized intersections.
Comment: We have received requests in the past to install bicycle detection loops on State roads in Chapel Hill. These requests have been denied by the North Carolina Department of Transportation because it has not identified an equipment and installation standard for bicycle detection that is acceptable for use on State roads. The State has expressed and continues to express concern that overall intersection efficiency would be significantly reduced primarily due to spurious calls from existing loop technology that is sensitive enough to detect bicycles. The only alternatives offered by the State are for cyclists to use push buttons where available, and/or to wait for a motorized vehicle to approach the intersection and be detected by the loops.
Most of the traffic signals in campus area are actuated-type and owned by the State. These signals change in response to commands from vehicle detection loops set in the pavement at the intersection approaches. All approaches to these intersections are activated by the vehicles for green signal between the hours of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm depending on the vehicle demand and we believe that the bicycles during this time would benefit from this type of operation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This application proposes to modify the Development Plan approved by the Town Council on June 25 and August 26, 2003. The focus of evaluation has been on the changes proposed, and on the differences in impacts of the development proposed here, compared to the impacts of the development approved in 2003.
The Land Use Management Ordinance specifies that, when a Development Plan or a Modification of a Development Plan in the OI-4 zoning district is submitted, it shall be reviewed by the Planning Board. Review by other Town advisory boards is not required, but we have made information about this application available to all advisory boards that are involved in development review. In addition to the Planning Board, the Transportation Board, Historic District Commission, Community Design Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board have chosen to offer comments for the Council’s consideration.
Planning Board Recommendation: On May 4, 2004, the Planning Board voted 9-1 to recommend that the Council approve the Development Plan Modification No. 2 with the adoption of Resolution B. A Summary of Planning Board Action is attached to the May 17 Public Hearing item.
The recommended stipulations from the Planning Board are included in Resolution A, the Manager’s revised recommendation. Resolution B differs from the Manager’s revised recommendation in that Resolution B does not include stipulations discussed at other advisory board meetings or issues raised at the May 17 Public Hearing.
Transportation Board Recommendation: On May 4, 2004, the Transportation Board voted 7-0 to recommend that the Council approve this application with the adoption of Resolution A. A Summary of Transportation Board Action is attached to the May 17 Public Hearing item.
All recommended stipulations from the Transportation Board are included in Resolution A, the Manager’s revised recommendation.
Historic District Commission Recommendation: On May 13, 2004, the Historic District Commission considered this application and voted 8-0 in support of the Development Plan Modification No. 2, with the adoption of Resolution C. Please refer to the attached Summary of Historic District Commission Action.
Resolution D differs from the Manager’s revised recommendation in that Resolution D does not include stipulations discussed at other advisory board meetings or issues raised at the May 17 Public Hearing.
Community Design Commission Recommendation: On May 19, 2004, the Community Design Commission considered this application and voted 9-0 in support of the Development Plan Modification No. 2, with the adoption of Resolution C. Please refer to the attached Summary of Community Design Commission Action.
Resolution D differs from the Manager’s revised recommendation in that Resolution D does not include stipulations discussed at other advisory board meetings or issues raised at the May 17 Public Hearing.
Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation: On May 20, 2004, the Parks and Recreation Commission considered this application and voted 10-0 in support of the Development Plan Modification No. 2, with the adoption of Resolution C. Please refer to the attached Summary of Parks and Recreation Commission Action.
Resolution D differs from the Manager’s revised recommendation in that Resolution D does not include stipulations discussed at other advisory board meetings or issues raised at the May 17 Public Hearing.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Recommendation: On May 25, 2004, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board voted 7-0 to recommend that the Council approve this application with the adoption of Resolution D. Please refer to the attached Summary of Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Action.
Resolution D includes the following recommendation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board:
Fixed Guideway Corridor: That none of these modifications interfere with the identified future corridor for a fixed transit system and that said corridor is shown on this and all other plans for modifications to the campus.
Comment: Relative to the Development Plan Modification No. 2 application, the proposed Physician’s Office Building is in a location that might be adjacent to a possible fixed guideway corridor. We believe that it would be appropriate to include a condition of approval that requires, as part of a Site Development Permit application, that attention be given to the location of this building with respect to the potential transit corridor, and that the placement of the building be arranged such that a fixed-guideway transit corridor would remain a possibility.
The recommended stipulation from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board is included in Resolution A, the Manager’s revised recommendation. Resolution D differs from the Manager’s revised recommendation in that Resolution D does not include stipulations discussed at other advisory board meetings or issues raised at the May 17 Public Hearing.
Manager’s Recommendation: We recommend that the Council approve this application with conditions, with adoption of Resolution A. Resolution A would approve the application as recommended by the Transportation Board.
Resolution B would approve the application as recommended by the Planning Board.
Resolution C would approve the application as recommended by the Historic District Commission, the Community Design Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Resolution D would approve the application as recommended by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board.
Resolution E would deny the modification.
