(Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Recommendation)

A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE FAMILY HOUSE AT UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA HOSPITALS

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that it finds that the Special Use Permit application proposed by the Family House at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, on property identified as Orange County Tax Map 73, part of Lot 1 (PIN No. 9788-54-5304) if developed according to the site plans dated June & August 2005, received August 4, 2005:

1. Would be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;

2. Would comply with all required regulations and standards of the Land Use Management Ordinance;

3. Would be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; and 

4. Would conform with the general plans for the physical development of the Town as embodied in the Land Use Management Ordinance and in the Comprehensive Plan.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Town Council of Chapel Hill that it finds, in this particular case, that the following modification satisfies public purposes to an equivalent or greater degree:

1. Modification of Article 5.9 of the Land Use Management Ordinance minimum off-street parking regulations, to allow 59 parking spaces on the Family House site.

This finding is based on a determination that public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree because the above requested modification to regulations for the Family House facility 1) will have a shuttle bus available to UNC Hospital, minimizing the need for parking spaces, and 2) is located in the Watershed Protection District and fewer parking spaces will reduce impervious surface.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Council hereby approves the application for a Special Use Permit for the Family House at the University of North Carolina Hospitals in accordance with the plans listed above and with the conditions listed below:

1. Resolution A: That all of the stipulations in Resolution A shall apply to the proposed development unless modified or superseded by those stipulations below.

2. Deleted Stipulation: That the following stipulation shall be deleted:

• Left Turn Lane: Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant shall provide an 11-foot wide center turn lane from the intersection of U.S. 15-501 at Old Mason Farm Road, to the western-most driveway entrance to the site. Furthermore, a 295-foot transition taper shall be extended in an eastern direction from the driveway entrance. The design must be approved by the Town Manager and the North Carolina Department of Transportation prior to issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Council hereby approves the application for the Special Use Permit application for the Family House at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, in accordance with the plans and conditions listed above.
