Approval of an Ordinance to Create Article 13 Of The City Of Milton Zoning Ordinance To Establish A Historic Preservation Commission In The City Of Milton To Provide For Designation Of Historic Properties; To Provide For Issuance Of Certificates Of Appropriateness; To Provide For An Appeals Procedure; To Repeal Conflicting Ordinances; And For Other Purposes. • "" (Agenda Item No. 10-1078) (Previously Discussed at March 8, 2010 Council Work Session) (First Presentation on May 17, 2010 Regular Council Meeting) fto° (Lynn Tully, Community Development Director) Lynn Tully, Community Development Director: • We have had a lot of input on this Ordinance. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm Page 4 of 11 • Please note that the recommendation today is the Historic Preservation Commission version from March 3, 2010. • The two versions between the Historic Preservation committee and the Planning Commission were regarding incentives and rewards. • The ordinance by the Planning Commission did not offer additional incentives for the Historic Committee suggested adding language to indicate their powers may include making recommendation for incentives from the City Council as necessary. • Regarding the penalties, it was felt that the penalties section was a very large portion of the revised ordinance. Possibly too much weight than originally intended from committee. • Historic District was removed by the Planning Commission. The Historic Preservation Committee did feel like it was very important to include Historic Districts. The Historic District is different from the Historic Zoning District which is also brought up in the ordinance. • Setbacks and uses would go through the Historic Zoning District. • Appointment and terms and members and requirements for a property owner or approval from the districts. The state model ordinance does not require a property owner's approval for designation. • The Historic Preservation Committee did include recommending a prior use incentive section. • Their meetings, DRB, and the Planning Commission did recommend deletion of that incentive. • It has been replaced by the Historic Zoning District. • The Ordinance does alter the existing Design Review Boards by applying new historic design guidelines to all contributory structures including single family residential. • The DRB would continue to review any plans for structures that are non contributory. • A member of the DRB may be selected by members of the DRB to serve as one of the three members of the Historic Planning Commission. This is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee. Joan Borzilleri, 540 Kings County Court, Milton, GA: • Has been a member of the Historic Preservation Committee for the past 18 months but tonight I am speaking as , too a private citizen. • I am dismayed that the Historic Preservation Committee never got to meet and discuss this approved version. • There have been two important topics dropped from this version. • Undue hardship has to be included in this ordinance but it has been omitted. • In comparison, there are many differences between the June version and the approved version on March 41n 2010. • Every page has new, changed, or deleted text. • We have no wording for what Historic Zoning is. • Section 2F, paint color will not be regulated by this ordinance. DNR says it should be included. • Section 5, the undue hardship paragraph was taken out but Lynn stated it would be put back in. • I'm concerned with these omissions and also the changes in the prior use sections that have not been reviewed by the Historic Preservation Committee. • This document needs more clarification and should be withdrawn or deferred this evening. Councilmember Thurman: • Will you clarify what Historic Zoning process would be? • People are afraid that Historic Zoning is bypassing the standard rezoning whereas I believe this is what the Planning Commission wanted. Lynn Tully, Community Development Director: • The Historic Zoning Designation that could be applied for would come following a recommendation from a Historic Preservation Committee to be considered as part of a historic property or district. • The property can be nominated for rezoning with the property owner's approval to the H -zoning. • The H -Zoning designation has not been written by council or by staff for council. It would be very closely and tightly construed for each specific property. • The intent would be that it would not set any precedence but it would be specific to each property that is zoned.. • It would be conditioned to allow only certain things to have specific setbacks to have allowances that they may not normally have under their current zoning designation. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm Page 5 of 11 • It would still have to go to Planning Commission. • Planning Commission would have to make that recommendation to council before you hear it. • There are opportunities for public hearing on those particular items. Councilmember Thurman: • Is it much more restrictive than it was initially drafted by the Milton preservation committee? • We can put conditions with the use to setbacks or whatever else we feel is appropriate. Councilmember Longoria: • From that point of view, the work flow is very similar to what we're doing now in terms of zoning cases? Lynn Tully: • In terms of zoning cases, is it before it even gets to be a zoning case because it does have to go though that designation process. Councilmember Zahner Bailey: • I went through and reviewed and looked at the most recent draft. • It bothers me that we would consider approving a document when that designation hasn't been drafted or articulated. • One thing that I find helpful would be to have a better sense from staff as for what this historic zoning designation could contemplate. • What would those include? • Could it occur in a residential community? • Is it contemplated that this designation could occur across all zoning districts? • I think it's important to know what that zoning district would contemplate. • Would it apply to prior uses? • This document is what was approved in March? Lynn Tully: • It was the document that was heard in March, 2010. • The County Attorney reviewed it and we made clarifications and changes where necessary to meet what we found was the direction of the council at that work session which was to make it legal. Councilmember Zahner Bailey: • Can we highlight the things that were carried over? • I think there are fewer that were carried over from the Planning Commission than not. • They unanimously had asked for the prior use designation to be deleted. • Now that we have two weeks, would it be reasonable to assume that this, if nothing else, just individually that the Planning Commission members would have an opportunity to review this? • Since there is a window of opportunity, could they review it and let them choose to review it? City Attorney, Ken Jarrard: • I believe that would be fine. • The differences between the Planning Commission and Historic Preservation version were fairly radical. • These were not situations where they were tweaking or trimming. • The Planning Commission said no to prior use and the HPC said they would allow prior use. We changed that to "may" allow because we felt that was more consistent. Councilmember Zahner Bailey: '" • I'm hearing that the zoning designation is really an issue to go through the zoning process including the Planning Commission, and this document contemplates some zoning components including actual language that r will become part of a zoning document that the HPC wouldn't articulate. That seems to be a little bit conflicting with who has ownership of the zoning process? • This says that the Historic Zoning designation is provided in sections 4D (2) based on prior use. Here it doesn't say "may" be based, it says that it "would" be based. • To me, that is in conflict with the statement you made. I Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm Page 6 of 11 City Attorney, Ken Jarrard: • It says that the new H -Zoning designation may allow a specific previous use to continue with this structure which would otherwise be considered non conforming. • Is it fair to say that if a new ordinance is drafted then that would be a starting place for consideration? It is. They would look at this code and that would be the instruction of the council. • The way the new zoning designation would have to be drafted would be with "may provide" and that would need to go through your process. • You all may not like any of that. • You may decide that it doesn't have to have any prior recognition and it would be perfectly appropriate. • The point that Lynn was trying to make was to say that the new zoning for this ordinance is wide open. • It can be anything you want it to be using the legislative process that you have. Councilmember Tart: • Not to restate what Julie has pointed out, but I am also perplexed by what seems to be a conflict between the prior use being included and is a power of the HPC. • Section 4 (d) 1 where it says "It may allow a specific previous use to continue" we tweaked that from "it shall" to "it may". • I consider that conflicting language in those three sections. • You may say that this is the more specific language of the three but I don't see this as specific. • It could be interpreted that a specific structure who it's alleged that it does have a prior use that can be something that could be considered. • If you put "it shall allow" that may not apply to every single structure that is going to come before the HPC because it may not have a prior use. • 1 don't think changing "shall" to may "will" work. Mayor Lockwood: • I would like for all Council to put their questions into email for our staff for them to be answered at the next meeting. • We need to get some direction from staff and let council make a decision. Results of Needs Assessment Survey for Parks and Recreation. (Beth Schapiro and Rusty Parker, The Schapiro Group) Beth Schapiro, The Schapiro Group: • I am president of the Schapiro group. • This has been a great experience working with a City that is still very new. • It gave me lots of insight on a whole new field. Rusty Parker, Project Manager: • We sent a needs assessment document to every home and residential property owners. • We sent out a total of $11,437 documents. Of those, 2,629 were returned which gives us a 23% response rate. • Facilities and Programs that the residents would like to see funded by the city were on the survey. • Funding options for those facilities and programs, as well as how residents use the parks and recreation facilities that they have available. • Mainly females, 58% to 42% returned the survey. • Wide age spectrum. The majority of the people were between 30-49 years of age. • On owning or renting, overwhelming majority of people own their homes. • How many children ages 18 and under live in the home and more than half residents and households have children. • 'h have children ages 6-15 in their homes. • What part of town people are from and nearly half came from the Southeast quadrant of town. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm Page 7 of 11 • Listed several programs and facilities and we asked people to check the ones that they woulcl ►ixe the city to r..+ fund or help fund. • Paved multipurpose trails, playgrounds, picnic shelters, spaces left natural, and unpaved hiking trails made the top five. • Several facilities could be combined. Youth softball and adult softball might be able to be played in the same facility. • If we combined Lacrosse, soccer, and football could be combined in facilities. • Sports such as baseball and softball could be combined into similar facilities. • Bottom 10 facilities are lacrosse, volleyball, skate parks, roller hockey, and things specifically for adult sports. Adult softball, indoor adult sports, adult soccer, and adult lacrosse. • Top 10 programs are one of kind events such as City Festivals, Holiday celebrations, concerts and parades which are very popular among residents. As well as youth programs. Youth soccer, baseball, indoor youth sports. • Bottom 10 programs tend to be more towards adult sports. • Residents with children consistently felt differently about topics than residents without children. • Young residents were more interested in dog parks, multi sport facilities, and indoor swimming. • Older respondents were interested in senior citizens activities and multipurpose trails, playgrounds, and natural spaces. • How would you like the city to fund them? Most popular was Grant money. Second were capital improvement bonds, then user fees. The lowest ones were annual parks and recreation fees and increased property tax. • 22% of people said they were not interested in supporting the programs. • How often they visited facilities in the area. Parks and surrounding areas came in first. Membership facilities. • To sum it all up, the most popular facilities were the outside items such as picnic areas, trails, and playgrounds. • The items that were youth oriented and the one-time events were the post popular events. mom • Most popular funding options were grant money. • Most popular subgroups were parents, younger residents, and older residents. Joe Longoria: • Were any of the results you received surprising? Rusty Parker: • I was surprised at how consistent everyone was. • I loved that people were excited to see kids. Julie Zahner Bailey: • In regards to shared facilities between adults and children and differences in sports, how do the dimensions vary and how realistic it is that multiple uses could be on that field. • After the mix up with the ones that got sent with no envelope, did the 60 that refilled out the survey get counted twice? Rusty Parker: • That is a good question and I'll have to look into that. Karen Thurman: • Were there more surveys filled out that had more than just a checked box? Rusty Parker: • Yes, people were happy to write more on the surveys. Most of them were more than just checked boxes. I ALCOHOL BEVERAGE LICENSE APPLICATIONS '4 I .
