Elevation of Proposed Self Storage
SUBJECT SITE AND BACKGROUND:
The subject site contains 3.339 acres developed with an office converted from a
single family residence. There is also a stream that runs north to south along the
western portion of the site. It is located on the south side of Webb Road, west of
Brickmont Assisted Living Facility. The site is located within the T-4 Open
designation of the City of Milton 2035 Comprehensive Plan Map adopted on
October 17, 2016.
The applicant is requesting an in-fill rezoning from T-4 Open to T-5 to develop a
103,509 square foot self-storage facility within the Deerfield Form Based Code
area
.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community
Development Department on February 12, 2018, Staff offers the following
considerations:

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – T-5 Deerfield Form Based Codes
Development Standards Proposed Development
Lot Width – 18 ft. minimum 380 feet
Lot Coverage 80% maximum 38.5 %
Frontage Buildout – 50% minimum Approximately 60%
Front Setback – 2 ft min – 15 ft max 15 feet
Side Setback – 0 ft. min 8 feet
Rear Setback – 3 ft. min 240 feet
Building Height – 4 stories 4 stories
PUBLIC FRONTAGES AND BUFFERS
The Deerfield Form Based Code requires that along Webb Road, a minimum of
28 feet is required for curbs, walkways, Planters and landscape. The site plan
indicates compliance with a 5 foot landscape strip, 10 foot sidewalk, and curb.
The site contains a perennial stream that runs south to north which requires a 50
foot undisturbed buffer and 25 foot non-impervious setback from the bank of
the stream. It is located on the western portion of the site and the site plan
shows compliance with the requirements. Staff notes that there are pervious
pavers for a portion of the parking spaces to meet these requirements for a
portion of the non-impervious setback.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The applicant is requesting to rezone from T-4 Open to T-5. Below is a chart
comparing the by-right and additional Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs)
that are allowed for each transect zone.

The applicant has been working closely with the City Architect to design the
building to be in keeping with the Deerfield Form Based Code as well as with
surrounding developments. In addition, the proposed development and
associated site plan indicates compliance with the Deerfield Form Based Code
Article 2.2 Infill Regulating Plan Requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS
The Environmental Site Analysis (ESA) report is sufficient and sati sfies the
requirement of Sec. 64-2126. The applicant has stated the following:
There are no known wetlands, floodplain, slopes exceeding 25 percent,
vegetation including endangered species, wildlife species, including fish and
endangered species, archeological/historical sites present. There is a stream
along the western portion of the property with the appropriate stream buffers
and the proposed development will not encroach into the buffers. The
specimen tress, as defined in Chapter 60 (according to the tree preservation
ordinance prior to February 5, 2018).
ARBORIST COMMENTS
Based on the tree survey provided by the applicant the tree density is met from
the undeveloped portion of site. Recompense required is the following:
Removal of 27” pine = 12 units = (18) 4” trees planted or $9,000 dollars.
These comments are based on previous tree preservation ordinance.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On January 23, 2018 the applicant’s representative was present at the
Community Zoning Information Meeting (CZIM) held at the Milton City Hall. There
were approximately four people in attendance at the meeting. They were
concerned about the density of the development and impact on nearby
residential subdivisions. The applicant explained the proposed use as well as
provided some sketches of the proposed architecture that had been reviewed
by the City. The attendees seemed to be satisfied by the information and were
not opposed to the development.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION REPORT
The applicant conducted their Public Participation Meeting on February 13,
2018 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bethwell Community Center located at 2695 Hopewell
Road. The applicant and his attorney was present. There was one person in
attendance that lives in a nearby residential development. Issues that were
discussed were the following: traffic, light pollution, architecture and land use.
The applicant explained that there would be on average no more than 4
tenants at a time on the property; lighting would be in compliance with city
code; the design of the building was worked on in conjunction with the City

CITY OF MILTON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD COURTESY REVIEW – FEBRUARY 6, 2018
The building design is fine.
Be mindful of signage.
Height is in character with the adjacent buildings.
Standards of Review
(Section 64-2104) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application,
investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors 1 through 7,
below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant.
1. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the
use and development of adjacent and nearby Property?
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed self-storage facility is suitable based
on the adjacent T-5 Transect Zones located directly to the east and south
which fronts Highway 9. The stream and its required undisturbed buffers
provide a large greenspace between the use and the T-4 Open to the
west that is developed with a single family residence. In addition, the
Brickmont Assisted Living adjacent to the east is within the T-5 Transect
Zone and also was required to purchase TDRs to complete their project.

2. Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect the existing use or
usability of adjacent or nearby property?
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed development will not adversely
affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby properties if the
proposed building is designed to be in keeping with nearby developments
such as the Brickmont Assisted Living to the east and commercial
developments to the south. In addition, the stream and its required buffers

provide a transition to the T-4 Open to the west developed with a single
family residence.
3. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable
economic use as currently zoned?
The subject site may have a reasonable use currently zoned T-4 Open.
4. Whether the proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an
excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities,
utilities or schools?
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposal may not cause a burden on existing
streets, transportation facilities, utilities and schools if approved. This is
based on the 18 daily trips per day for this use.
5. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the
land use plan?

6. Whether there are other existing or changed conditions affecting the use
and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for
either approval or disapproval of the proposal?
The proposed development is inconsistent with the Plan Map
recommendation of T-4 Open, it is Staff’s opinion that based on the fact
that there are T-5 developments to the south and east of the property
which is consistent with the proposed development. If the proposed
development is approved, additional low density property zoned AG-1 will
be preserved by the purchase of Transfer of Development Rights for the
subject site. Based on the above reasons, Staff recommends APPROVAL
CONDITIONAL of RZ18-01 to the T-5 Transect Zone.
7. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use which can be considered
environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and
citizens of the City of Milton?
Based on the fact that there is only one specimen tree to be replaced
and the stream buffer provides additional open space and vegetation,
the proposed zoning should not be environmentally adverse to the natural
resources, environment and citizens of the City of Milton.
CONCLUSION
It is Staff’s recommendation that RZ18-01 be APPROVED CONDITIONAL from T-4
Open to T-5 based on the fact that there is T-5 directly to the south and east and
the stream buffer provides transition to the T-4 Open to the west. In addition, the
proposed architecture is consistent with the size and scale of nearby and
adjacent developments.

SUBJECT SITE:
The subject site contains 2.89 acres and is developed with a newly constructed
building 6,000 square foot and an older existing structure with approximately
2,000 square feet zoned O-I pursuant to RZ15-14 approved for a Private School
pursuant to U15-04 in the existing building and a total of 150 students.
In the applicant’s letter of intent, he states that he requests to expand the current
capacity of 150 students to 220 students. In addition, the school will serve not just
the current pre-school but include elementary school classes, thus the
requirement for a Use Permit for a Private School . The 3,500 square foot expansion
within the newly constructed building is proposed within the attic. Thus, the
necessity for a new rezoning and use permit.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted on December 27, 2017 to
the Community Development Department offers the following considerations:
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – SEC. 64-730 O-I (Office-Institutional)
Based on the requirements pursuant to Sec. 64-730, the site plan indicates
compliance with the development standards for O-I (Office-Institutional). The
applicant is requesting this zoning district for those students who are less than 4
years in age which requires a day care facility and is allowed by right within the
O-I district. Staff has evaluated the existing and future right-of-way requirements
based on the revised site plan received on December 27, 2017.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – SEC. 64-1831 – PRIVATE SCHOOL USE PERMIT
Based on the requirements pursuant to Sec. 64-1831, the site plan indicates
compliance with the development standards for the Use Permit.
STATE ROUTE 9 OVERLAY DISTRICT
The proposed expansion of the Montessori school is required to meet the State
Route 9 Overlay District standards within Chapter 64, Article VII, Division 5 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The site plan shows compliance with the requirements of the State Route 9
Overlay District with the exception of the following:
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018
2/23/2018 Page 7 of 16
RZ18-06/U18-01/VC18-01
Landscape Strips and Buffers
The Site Plan is compliant except for the 20 foot landscape strip, with the following
required landscape strip and buffers as required by the State Route 9 Overlay
District:
20 foot landscape strip adjacent to Bethany Bend and Morris Roads. There
is an encroachment where the turnaround is and is discussed below as a
concurrent variance.
50 foot undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement setback along the
western property line.
25 foot undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement setback along the
southern property line. This is based on the existing zoning of O-I (Office-
Institutional) pursuant to RZ03-152.
VC18-01 – Delete the landscape strip from 20 feet to 0 feet where existing
turnaround is shown (Sec. 64-1090 (a)).
The driveway was constructed to allow the traffic to flow in a forward direction.
Therefore, it is staff’s opinion that the requested concurrent variance be
APPROVED based on the fact that the request complies with the considerations
of Section 64-1883:
Relief, if granted, would not offend the spirit or intent of this zoning
ordinance;
There are such extraordinary and exceptional situations or conditions
pertaining to the particular piece of property that the literal or strict
application of this zoning ordinance would create an unnecessary
hardship due to size, shape or topography or other extraordinary and
exceptional situations or conditions not caused by the variance applicant;
Relief, if granted would not cause a substantial detriment to the public
good and surrounding properties; and
That the public safety, health and welfare are secured, and that substantial
justice is done.
Fencing
Pursuant to 64-1092 (i) the Overlay requires a black four board black equestrian
fence, not exceeding 55 inches in height along Bethany Bend and Morris Road.
The applicant has not indicated the type and height of fencing to be used to

ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS
In reference to the Environmental Impacts to the site, it satisfies the requirement
of Section 64-2126. The applicant has addressed the various issues outlined in the
ESA report. The proposed site does contain wetlands, floodplains and streams but
does not contain, steep slopes, historical sites or sensitive plant and animal
species. The applicant has included the tree survey on the site plan.
ARBORIST COMMENTS
There will be no specimen trees impacted by the proposed expansion. Site
density has been met through the undeveloped area. Ten foot landscape islands
are required for every 6 parking spaces. With the addition of parking spaces,
these islands need to be installed.
CITY OF MILTON FIRE MARSHAL
The Fire Marshal has no objection to the proposed site plan. All development
plans and building plans will be reviewed by the Fire Marshal prior to any permits
being issued.
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER
Trip Generation
The thresholds for turn lanes are 300 daily left turns in and 200 daily right turns in. The daily
distributions are based on 50% entering and 50% exiting trips.
Daily Trips - 986
Daily left turns in - 296
Daily right turns in - 197
If at such time the Department of Public Works determines that the left turns into
the site impact the operations of Bethany Bend, the owner will be required to
conduct a traffic study to determine if the development warrants any additional
improvements at no cost to the city. If improvements are determined to be
warranted, owner shall install those at no cost to the city.

CITY OF MILTON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD COURTESY REVIEW – FEBRUARY 6, 2018
Comments:
No qualms about finishing out the attic space or adding
staircase on back.
Standards of Review
(Section 64-2104) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application,
investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors 1 through 7,
below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant.
1. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the
use and development of adjacent and nearby Property?
The proposed expansion of the existing Montessori school at a density of
3,500 square feet per acre is suitable based on the adjacent and nearby
developments. Specifically, adjacent to the north, the subject property is
zoned TR (Townhouse Residential) with a use permit for senior housing at a
density of 20 units per acre and 3 stories in height. In addition, Windcrest
Park further to the north is developed with townhomes at a density of 6.76
units per acre zoned TR (Townhouse Residential). Furthermore, Spring Valley
townhomes are developed at 7.86 units per acre.
The City of Milton approved the Comprehensive Plan Update
recommending Office based on the city’s vision for the area. The Future
Land Use Map indicates that the parcel to the north, zoned for senior
housing is designated as Multi Family Residence. In addition, there is a
large mixed use development directly to the east in Forsyth County as
described in the table below. I t is Staff’s opinion that the proposed
expansion is suitable in view of the adjacent and nearby properties.

2. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability
of adjacent or nearby property?
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed expansion of the Montessori School will
not adversely affect the existing uses of adjacent or nearby properties if
approved with Staff’s recommended conditions.
3. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable
economic use as currently zoned?
The subject site may have a reasonable economic use as currently zoned.
4. Whether the proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an
excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities,
utilities or schools?
If developed with the recommended conditions, Staff does not anticipate
an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities,
or utilities.
5. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land
use plan?
Future Land Use Plan Map: – The Milton Comprehensive Plan Update
recommends Office for the site.
The proposed expansion is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Update.
Proposed use/density:
Day Care/Montessori School
3,287.2 square feet per acre for a total of 9,500 square feet
In addition, the proposed development is consistent with the following plan
policies:
We will support programs that retain, expand and create businesses
that provide a good fit for our community’s economy in terms of job
skills required and links to existing businesses and locate them
appropriately within the City.
We support appropriate residential and non-residential infill
development and redevelopment in ways that complement
surrounding areas.

Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018

RZ18-06/U18-01/VC18-01
6. Whether there are other existing or changed conditions affecting the use
and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for either
approval or disapproval of the proposal?
It is Staff’s opinion that since the adoption of the Plan, the surrounding
development of high density residential and especially the commercial
development to the east in Forsyth County and the increased traffic in the
area have changed the character of this area.
7. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use which can be considered
environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and citizens
of the City of Milton?
The proposed use may not be environmentally adverse to the natural
resources, environment and citizens of the City due to the required
development regulations as it pertains to stormwater facilities, tree
recompense and landscape requirements.
USE PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS
In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Mayor and City
Council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use
that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject
use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined
in Sec. 64-1552 of the Zoning Ordinance: Use Permit Considerations. Staff has
reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following
comments:
1. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic
development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council:
The proposed development is located in the “Office” land use category on
the City of Milton Comprehensive Plan Update Map. The proposed use
permit for a private school is permitted in the O-I (Office-Institutional) district
which is an acceptable zoning district in the “Office” land use category.
2. Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the
property for which the use permit is proposed:
The subject site is compatible with the adjacent and nearby land uses and
zoning: an approved senior living facility at a density of 20 units per acre to
the north, residential development ranging from 4.99 units per acre (Hidden
Forest) to 12 units per acre (The Preserve at Deerfield). In addition, although
it is not in the City of Milton, directly to the east is a high intensity mixed use
development in Forsyth County which will directly impact these properties.

Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018
2/23/2018 Page 14 of 16
RZ18-06/U18-01/VC18-01
3. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes,
ordinances or regulations governing land development:
The proposed use does not appear to violate any ordinances or regulations
governing land development if the concurrent variance is approved.
4. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian,
along adjoining streets:
The proposed use’s effect on the traffic flow, vehicular, pedestrian, along
adjoining streets should be mitigated with the location of the entrance.
5. The location and number of off-street parking spaces;
The off street parking is located on the sides and rear of the existing and
proposed buildings which is the appropriate location as required by the
State Route 9 Overlay District. Below is a table indicating the required and
provided number of parking spaces for the site.

The proposed needs to include landscape islands for every 6 parking
spaces. The applicant will be required to install the landscape islands to be
in compliance with the Arborist’s comment.
7. Protective screening:
There is a large amount of protective screening to the west adjacent to the
Hidden Forest Subdivision. A perennial stream is located along the western
property line which requires a 50 foot undisturbed buffer and 25 foot non-
improvement setback.

Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018

8. Hours and manner of operation:
Monday – Friday 6:30 am – 7:30 pm
It is Staff’s opinion that the above mentioned hours and days of operation
are reasonable for the proposed used and will be included in the
Recommended Conditions.
The proposed hours of operations from the existing Use Permit
Considerations (U15-04) is Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 6:00 pm.
9. Outdoor lighting:
The applicant has not indicated any additional lighting on the site. If
lighting is proposed, it must comply with the Highway 9 Overlay District
pursuant to Sec. 64-1094.
10. Ingress and egress to the property.
The site plan indicates a one way in and a one way out for ingress and
egress to the property. This allows the student drop off and vehicular
turnaround be provided so that flow of traffic to remain forward in motion
which is required per Sec. 64-1831(b)(7).
CONCLUSION
The proposed expansion of the school is consistent with the City of Milton
Comprehensive Plan Update suggestion of Office. Based on the fact that there is
higher density residential adjacent to the north, southwest and east within the
City of Milton and retail commercial to the east in Forsyth County, it is Staff’s
opinion the proposed rezoning from O-I to O-I is appropriate and therefore,
recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of RZ18-06 and U18-01. In addition, Staff
recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of VC18-01.

SUBJECT SITE AND BACKGROUND:
The subject site is zoned T -4 Open and T -5, and developed with a single family
residence that has been converted into an art gallery. Located on 4.37 acres,
the property is in the Crabapple Form Based Code. The applicant proposes a
mixed use development, including 4 office/retail buildings, and 42 senior
condominiums (at a density of 9.6 units per acre).
Staff notes that the requested Use Permit for “Apartments” are for the use and
not for rental of multi-family units. It is to allow for “stacked flats” and because
the request exceeds 30 units it is not under the category of “Neighborhood
Apartments”. The intent of the 42 units is “For Sale” and not rental. In addition,
the Use Permit for Senior Housing, requires the units to be “For Sale” and not for
rent. Therefore, Staff will refer to this use as “Senior Condominiums” within this
report to better represent the actual use.
The site plan also shows mixed use development on the western portion of the
property which will be developed concurrently with the senior housing on the
eastern portion of the site. The residential units on the west portion of the site are
allowed by right within the T -5 transect zone. The focus of this report is on the
required use permit for the 42 units of senior condominiums.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s site plan t o the Community Development Department
on January 5, 2018, Staff offers the following considerations:

Concurrent variance
requested to delete
this requirement
Discussion of Use Permit Standards
The applicant meets the standards for senior housing and the standards for
apartments with the exception of the minimum of 300 cubic feet of separate
contiguous storage space. The applicant requests a concurrent variance to
delete this requirement.
VC18-03
The applicant is requesting a concurrent variance to delete the requirement for
a minimum of 300 cubic feet of separate contiguous storage space for each
unit. The requested concurrent variance meets the following considerations:
(1) Relief, if granted, would not offend the spirit or intent of this zoning
ordinance;
(2) There are such extraordinary and exceptional situations or conditions
pertaining to the particular piece of property that the literal or strict application
of this zoning ordinan ce would create an unnecessary hardship due to size,
shape or topography or other extraordinary and exceptional situations or
conditions not caused by the variance applicant;
(3) Relief, if granted would not cause a substantial detriment to the public good
and surrounding properties; and
(4) That the public safety, health and welfare are secured, and that substantial
justice is done.
Separate outdoor storage is typically seen in garden style apartments, and is not
appropriate for loft style condominiums in the Crabapple area. No detriment to
the public will be caused by the approval of this variance, and substantial just
shall be done. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of VC18-
03.

USE PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS (SENIOR HOUSING)
In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Mayor and City
Council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use
that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject
use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined
in Sec. 64-1552 of the Zoning Ordinance: Use Permit Considerations. Staff has
reviewed said it ems pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following
comments:
1. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic
development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council:
The proposed development is located in the T -4 Open and T 5 land use
category on the City of Milton Comprehensive Plan Update 2016 Plan
Map. Located in the T -4 Open zoning section, t he proposed use of senior
condominiums is categorized as apartments and is compatible with the T -
4 Open district within the plan . Therefore, it is the opinion of Staff that the
proposed use is consistent with the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the
property for w hich the use permit is proposed:

Page 12 of 17 2/23/2018
The subject site is located on the northeast corner of the Birmingham
Highway and proposed Crabapple Connector circle . To the north is
Crabapple Crossing Elementary School. This is considered a civic use.
To the east is a proposed residential development which is under review
for a land disturbance permit zoned T -4 Open. To the south is the
proposed Crabapple Connector and property zoned T -5 and T -4 Open.
To the west is Birmingham Highway and the Braeburn subdivision. There
are office condos along the road, and attached and detached single
family homes further back.
In addition, the Downtown Milton/Crabapple Placemaking Plan
contemplated senior housing within the northeast quadrant as depicted
in the illustration below.
I t is Staff’s opinion that the proposed senior condos use is compatible with
adjacent and nearby properties and consistent with land use plans
adopted by the Mayor and City Council. Therefore, Staff recommends
APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U18-02.
2. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes,
ordinances or regulations governing land development:
The proposed use does not appear to violate any ordinances or
regulations governing land development .
3. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pede strian,
along adjoining streets:
U16-01/VC16-03 - Prepared for the City of Milton Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018
Page 13 of 17 2/23/2018
The conditions of zoning regarding traffic will accommodate the
increased traffic produced by the proposed development.
4. The location and number of off-street parking spaces;
Based on previous parking requirements, t he housing units require 1.4
parking spaces per unit . With 42 residential units, 59 spaces are required.
The site plan indicates that 97 parking spaces are dedicated to the
residential units, including 54 covered spaces and 20 basement spaces.
This meets the required parking standard.
T he location of the parking spaces is within 40 feet of the buildings.
5. The am ount and location of open space:
The site is 4.37 acres in size. The development is required to provide 5% of
the total site, or .2 acres as open space. The open space is situated
around the residential buildings. By providing .2 acres of open space, the
site will meet this requirement.
6. Protective screening:
T he Crabapple Form Based Code does not require buffers or screening
between internal uses or adjacent properties.
7. Hours and manner of operation:
This is a 24 hour use and no specific hours of operation apply.
8. Outdoor lighting:
The applicant has not indicated any additional lighting on the site. If
lighting is proposed, it must comply with the Article 4.12 of the Crabapple
Form Based Code.
9. Ingress and egress to the property.
The location of the entrance is approximately 321 feet east of the traffic
circle along the proposed Crabapple Connector. Conditions of Zoning
are included to provide two entrances/exits onto the new road. A 10 foot
sidewalk will be provided along the proposed road. Also, sidewalks will be
placed internally throughout the development.
USE PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS (APARTMENTS)
In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Mayor and City
Council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use
that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject
U16-01/VC16-03 - Prepared for the City of Milton Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018
Page 14 of 17 2/23/2018
use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined
in Sec. 64-1552 of the Zoning Ordinance: Use Permit Considerations. Staff has
reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following
comments:
1. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic
development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council:
The proposed development is located in the T -4 Open and T5 land use
category on the City of Milton Comprehensive Plan Update 2016 Plan
Map. Located in the T -4 Open zoning section, the proposed use of senior
housing, which are required to be fee simple, is categorized as
apartments and is compatible with the T -4 Open district w ithin the plan.
Therefore, it is the opinion of Staff that the proposed use is consistent with
the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the
property for which the use permit is proposed:
The subject site is located on the northeast corner of the Birmingham
Highway and proposed Crabapple Connector circle. To the north is
Crabapple Crossing Elementary School. This is considered a civic use.
To the east is a proposed residential development which is under review
for a land disturbance permit zoned T -4 Open. To the south is the
proposed Crabapple Connector and property zoned T -5 and T -4 Open.
To the west is Birmingham Highway and the Braeburn subdivision. There
are office condos along the road, and attached and detached single
family homes further to the west.
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed apartments use is compatible with
adjacent and nearby properties and consistent with land use plans
adopted by the Mayor and City Council. Therefore, Staff recommends
APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U18 -03.
2. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes,
ordinances or regulations governing land development:
The proposed use does not appear to violate any ordi nances or
regulations governing land development if the concurrent variance
regarding storage is approved.
3. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian,
along adjoining streets:
The condition of zoning regarding traffic wi ll accommodate the increased
traffic produced by the proposed development.
U16-01/VC16-03 - Prepared for the City of Milton Planning Commission Meeting on February 28, 2018

parking spaces per unit. With 42 residential units, 59 spaces are required.
The site plan indicates that 97 parking spaces are dedicated to the
residential units, including 54 covered spaces and 20 basement spaces.
This meets the required parking standard.
The location of the parking spaces is within 40 feet of the buildings.
5. The amount and location of open space:
The site is 4.37 acres in size. The development is required to provide 5% of
the total site, or .2 acres as open space. The open space is situated
around the residential buildings. By providing .2 acres of open space, the
site will meet this requirement.
6. Protective screening:
The Crabapple Form Based Code does not require buffers or screening
between internal uses or adjacent properties.
7. Hours and manner of operation:
This is a 24 hour use and no specific hours of operation apply.
8. Outdoor lighting:
The applicant has not indicated any additional lighting on the site. If
lighting is proposed, it must comply with the Article 4.2 of the Crabapple
Form Based Code.
9. Ingress and egress to the property.
The location of the entrance is approximately 321 feet east of the traffic
circle along the proposed Crabapple Connector. Conditions of Zoning
are included to provide two entrances/exits onto the new road. A 10 foot
sidewalk will be provided along the proposed road. Also, sidewalks will be
placed internally throughout the development.
CONCLUSION
If approved with the Recommended Conditions, the proposed mixed used
development including 42 senior condominiums is consistent the
Comprehensive Plan and Crabapple Form Based Code. Therefore, Staff
recommends U18-02 be APPROVED CONDITIONAL AND that U18-03 be
APPROVED CONDITIONAL. Additionally, Staff recommends VC18-03 be
APPROVED CONDITIONAL.

Staff notes that related text amendments RZ17 -12 and RZ17-13 were deferred at
the December and January Planning Commission Meetings to allow these
additional associated text amendments to “catch up” with RZ18-04 and RZ18-
05.
The City of Milton only has one hotel within its jurisdiction. Hotels produce a high
amount of tax revenue through property taxes and the amount of public
services required by the City is minimal. T he hotel/motel tax also helps to fund
our special events throughout the year in the City. Over the past few years, hotel
developers have been interested in building hotels in Milton, especially in the
Deerfield area. Hotel developers look for smaller parcels between 1 and 3 acres
to keep the development costs down. The current density allocation for hotel
rooms are 2 hotel rooms per unit. So for example, if you have a 2 acre site within
the T -6 transect zone at 9 units per acre, the maximum number of rooms would
be 36 for the site. This is too low of a number of rooms to develop the site.
Therefore, Staff is recommending that for each unit, 4 rooms are allowed. This
would double the existing allowance and provide for 72 rooms in the previous
example using a 2 acre site or 36 rooms per acre. Staff has provided the
following analysis of nearby hotel locations with their acreage and number of
rooms. Bolded indicates hotel in City of Milton. There are no hotels or lodging
within the Crabapple Form Based Code but is permitted by right.

The purpose of these two text amendments is to amend the T -4 Transect Zone
within the Crabapple Form Based Code to allow Office uses . Currently, no office
uses are permitted in T -4. It is Staff’s opinion that office uses are appropriate with
the other approved uses in the T -4 transect zone such as retail an d restaurants at
corner buildings. This will promote a live, work, play downtown in Crabapple.
Staff notes that restrictions will remain for T -4 Restricted transect zones as
