[7.a. Gullah Geechee Land and Cultural Preservation Task Force recommendation on Home Safety and Repair and Sewer Connection Programs Funding]
ON.AND THAT IS CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION BY THE GULLAH GEECHEE LAND AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION TASK FORCE REMANDING TWO, UH, PROGRAMS. AND SHAY, WILL YOU BE GIVING THAT PRESENTATION? MR. MR. AARON RUCKER WILL, HE'S OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING MANAGER.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE HIM NOW TO YOU, AND I WILL PULL THIS UP FOR HIM.
HE'S JOINED US RECENTLY, UM, FROM NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE HIM.
THIS IS THE MEMO THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSION.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE BEFORE YOU TODAY, AND I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
THIS IS, I THINK THREE AND A HALF MONTHS IN, UH, BUT I HAVE OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE, UH, IN THE PROFESSION.
AND, UH, 17 OF THOSE WERE IN NORTH MERLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA.
SO I'VE BEEN IN THE STATE FOR 17 YEARS.
UM, SO I'M BRAND NEW WITH THIS.
AND, UM, I WANNA GO THROUGH, UH, THIS PRESENTATION, UH, THE INFORMATION WITH YOU.
I'M NOT SURE THE FORMAT THAT YOU ALL TYPICALLY DO.
DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST READ THROUGH IT AS IF YOU WOULD BE READING OR PARAPHRASE, UM, AND KIND OF GET TO THE SUMMARY? WELL, I THINK A SUMMARY WOULD SUFFICE.
EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE FULL DOCUMENT, SO IF YOU COULD JUST SUMMARIZE FOR US.
SO THE GULLAH GEECHEE LAND AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION TASK FORCE, GDTF MET ON MONDAY, MARCH 4TH, UM, 2024, EARLIER THIS MONTH.
UH, A PROGRAM UPDATE ON THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR AND SEWER CONNECTION PROGRAM WAS ON THAT AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION.
FOLLOWING DUE CONSIDERATION, THE GOCHI LAND AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION TASK FORCE UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO RECOMMEND TO YOU ALL THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THE TOWN'S HOME SAFETY REPAIR AND SEWER CONNECTION PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED AS OPPOSED TO FUNDING RATE.
THE TASK FORCE OPERATES COURSE UNDERNEATH YOUR JURISDICTION AS A RECOMMENDING BODY TO YOU ALL.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY.
THEY JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND EMPHASIZE THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ASK? I I HAD A COUPLE THAT I'LL LET THE REST OF THE COMMISSION GO FIRST.
UM, ANY QUESTIONS? UH, FROM THE REPORT THAT WE'VE RECEIVED, I, I NOTICED THAT THE INITIAL, UH, THE FIRST, UH, 21 MONTHS OF THE PROGRAM WAS FUNDED BY THE, UH, AMERICAN, UH, RESCUE PLAN OF 2021.
AND THE BALANCES ARE VERY SMALL GOING INTO, SO WITH THE PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL PENDING ARE IS, ARE THERE ADEQUATE FUNDS LEFT FROM THAT FUNDING SOURCE TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE PROJECTS? DO YOU KNOW? I WOULD
[00:05:01]
HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.I'M NOT SURE THE, I KNOW IT WAS WITHIN OUR DIVISION AND AND DEPARTMENT.
UM, IT'S STILL UNDERNEATH OUR DEPARTMENT, BUT THAT'S TRANSFERRED OVER TO CHRISTOPHER YATES AND, UM, THE, UH, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL.
AND SO I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW THAT FUNDING WORKS, BUT THE RECOMMENDATION WE'RE BEING ASKED TO RECOMMEND TO TOWN COUNCIL TO ENDORSE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE GULLY BEACH TASK FORCE.
AND, UH, THAT'S CONTINUED FUNDING AT THE SAME LEVEL.
AND I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THAT FUNDING IS.
OH, IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE FUNDING LEVEL? FUNDING LEVEL WITH, I'M ASSUMING THAT'S JUST FOR THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR.
IT'S FOR THE NEXT BUDGET BUDGET YEAR THAT YES, SIR.
UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S A $900,000, UM, BUDGET PROPOSED PROPOSAL.
CAN, CAN YOU TO CONTINUE TO FUND AND MAYBE DONE SOME, UH, THIS, THIS PROGRAM.
SO JUST TO FOLLOW, HAVE YOUR MICROPHONE ON NOW, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON CHAIRMAN'S QUESTION, I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTOOD YOUR ANSWER.
UH, OR MAYBE YOU HAVE TO GET BACK TO US.
UM, SO ABOUT $900,000 WAS FUNDED OUTTA THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.
SO IN ADDITION TO THE OBVIOUS MERITS OF THE PROGRAM, ARE YOU ASKING US TO RECOMMEND TO TOWN COUNCIL TO TAKE THAT OUT OF THE TOWN BUDGET NOW WELL ADD IT TO THE TOWN BUDGET WHERE IT WASN'T BEFORE? OR ARE THEY GONNA OFFSET IT? ARE YOU RECOMMENDING SOMETHING TO OFFSET IT? WELL, SO THE, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS SPECIFICALLY TO ENDORSE WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED FOR, FOR THAT PROPOSED AMOUNT GOING TO TOWN COUNCIL.
SO IT'S THE PROPOSED AMOUNT THAT'S HEADED FOR CONSIDERATION BY TOWN COUNCIL THAT THEY WANTED TO EMPHASIZE A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ALL ENDORSE.
AND, UM, YEAH, I KNOW MR. HENS IS YEAH, I KNOW.
I BELIEVE YOU'RE PART OF THE TASK FORCE.
AND IF, UM, IF YES, IF THAT, THAT'S HOW I UNDERSTOOD IT.
YEAH, I, UM, I SERVE ON THIS TASK FORCE AND, UM, THE, THE BUDGET HAD THIS FUNDING IN IT TO, TO PROVIDE FOR THIS.
AND, AND THE TASK FORCE VOTED TO, UM, LIFT IT UP TO US TO LIFT IT UP TO TOWN COUNCIL TO VOTE, UM, IN FAVOR OF THIS, BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
THE, THE PROGRAMS, UH, THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR IS, IS AN EFFORT TO DO JUST THAT.
IT KEEPS PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE TO LEAVE.
AND, AND THEN THE SEWER CONNECTION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
SO THE, THE, THE, UM, HISTORY YOU SEE HERE, WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST, SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THESE PROGRAMS FELT VERY IMPORTANT TO, UM, THE COURT NEIGHBORHOODS AND WANTED TO LIFT IT UP TO THIS COMMITTEE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF IT.
UM, AND, UH, FOR, FOR TOWN COUNCIL, THE FUNDING SOURCE, I REMEMBER IT, 900,000 SOUNDS RIGHT.
AND I DON'T RECALL THE, THE SOURCE OF THAT FUNDING.
SO FOR THIS COMING, WHICH PERCENTAGE IS GOING FROM FEDERAL VERSUS US? I JUST DON'T RECALL, UH, THE SOURCE OF THE FUNDS AT THIS POINT, BUT I KNOW IT WAS ALLOCATED IN IN THE BUDGET.
I GUESS WE'RE STILL ASKING THE SAME, THERE'S $29,000 LEFT IN ONE PROGRAM IN 1600 AND THE OTHER, AND, BUT WE'RE ASKING A $900,000 BUDGET ITEM TO BE RECOMMENDED TO TOWN COUNCIL.
IS THAT, IS THAT THE GIST OF IT? YES.
YOUR, YOU'RE, YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION BY THE TASK FORCE TO SEND A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO TOWN COUNCIL TO FUND THAT PROPOSED AMOUNT FROM A SOURCE DIFFERENT THAN THE SOURCE THAT FUNDED IT FOR THE LAST 21 MONTHS.
IS THAT RIGHT? SO I, I DON'T, I CAN'T WEIGH INTO THAT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, UM, WITH CONFIDENCE.
UM, I, I DON'T KNOW WITH CONFIDENCE.
I, I CAN JUST TELL YOU THAT AS PROPOSED, IT'S A HEADED TOWARDS COUNSEL, UH, COMMISSIONER MAILER.
UM, SO THIS PROJECT, UH, FUNDING, WHICH I'M DEFINITELY FOR, FOR THIS TYPE OF, UH, WORK THAT WE, WE NEED TO DO ON THE ISLAND, UH, MAINLY TO, UH, ASSIST AND, AND, AND, AND HELP THE GULLAH UH, COMMUNITY.
UM, BUT IS THIS, WOULD THIS FINISH OUT THIS PROJECT OR IS IT JUST THE FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR? NO, IT'S, I'M SORRY.
IT'S, UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEXT FISCAL
[00:10:01]
YEAR 25.SO THE MONIES, UH, THAT, THAT WERE APPROVED IN FISCAL YEAR 24 WE'RE STILL OPERATING.
SO 25 WOULD FINISH IT OUT IN 25 OR JULY ONE.
JULY ONE, IT TURNS OVER TO THE FISCAL YEAR 25.
SO THIS, THIS DOESN'T FINISH, YOU'RE NEVER FINISHED.
HOMES CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE.
THIS IS JUST FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
THAT, AND THAT FUNDING WOULD WOULD BE FISCAL YEAR 25, BEGINNING JULY 1ST.
THE TOWN COUNCIL IS CURRENTLY, UH, CONSIDERING PERFECT OBJECTION.
IF IT WAS FUNDED UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, YES.
IF IT WAS IT BUDGET, PETE, THE, THIS WAS IN THE BUDGET AND WE'RE JUST AFFIRMING THAT YES, WE WANT, WE WANT YOU TO VOTE 25.
WE WANT YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL.
SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN, IT'S ALREADY IN THERE.
NOTHING, NOTHING WAS ADDED BY THE TASK FORCE.
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE, IT'S IMPORTANT GULLAH GEECHEE COMMUNITY, AND WE WANT THAT TO BE KNOWN THAT WE LIKE THIS PROGRAM, CONTINUE FUNDING IT.
AND WHY THE SAME LEVEL? UM, NOT KNOWING THE SOURCE.
THE TOWN HAS SO MUCH MONEY TO SUPPORT THIS, THESE TWO PROGRAMS, AND WE'RE ASKING THEM TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.
SO, BACKLOG PROJECT? NO, THEY'RE JUST ONGOING.
SO IT'S THE, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IS NOT DICTATED BY THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BECAUSE THE PROJECTS CONTINUE TO COME IN.
THIS IS HOW MUCH WE CAN SPEND FOR THESE TWO PURPOSES FOR THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR.
OTHER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? VICE CHAIR O'NEILL? YEAH, JUST, JUST SO I MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS.
SO WE HAVE A 900,000, AND I UNDERSTAND TOO THAT THE COMMISSION DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE FINANCES, SO WE JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE RECOMMENDATION.
BUT WE'VE HAD $570,000 COMMITTED SO FAR IS MY UNDERSTANDING AGAINST A $900,000 GRANT FROM THE, UM, THE, UH, THE, I WAS GONNA SAY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, THE, UM, THE, THE AMERICAN AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.
AND IT'S UP TO, TO COUNSEL TO, TO BALANCE WITH THE OTHER FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS THAT WE HAVE GOING FORWARD.
SO IT'S REALLY, IS THIS, THIS THING MAKES SENSE AND IS THAT THE NUMBER THAT WE'VE SPENT SO FAR, WHICH IT FEELS TO ME TO BE RIGHT.
SO, AND I AGREE IT'S NOT UP TO US TO COME UP WITH THE FUNDING SOURCES FOR THESE, BUT I, I DID WANT TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SO, UH, OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS?
IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE THE PROGRAM WAS BEING UTILIZED IN YOU PRETTY WIDESPREAD, UH, WAY ACROSS DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE ISLAND.
SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A POSITIVE THING TO NOTE WHILE WE'RE CONSIDERING THE PROGRAMS. OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IS ANYBODY WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION RECOMMEND TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORTED BY VICE CHAIR O'NEAL? UH, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE ASK FOR THE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR OF SENDING THIS ON TO TOWN COUNCIL WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION IS YOUR RIGHT-HAND? IT IS UNANIMOUS.
[7.b. Board Training - Land Management Ordinance]
THINK THAT'S THE END OF THE BUSINESS PORTION OF THE MEETING.WE DO HAVE A, A BOARD TRAINING ON THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE THAT, UH, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SPEED INTO TODAY'S SESSION.
SO, UH, SHAY, ARE YOU GONNA BE WORKING WITH US ON THAT? OKAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SHARA, FOR THE RECORD WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
UM, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT PRIOR TO THE TRAINING THAT WE DO HAVE A SIGN IN FORM ON THE TABLE IN THE REAR, IF YOU WOULD MAKE SURE TO SIGN IN BEFORE YOU LEAVE, IF YOU'VE NOT ALREADY DONE THAT.
[00:15:05]
THE TRAINING TODAY IS BASED ON THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE AND A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE, UM, UPCOMING MEETING THAT WE HAVE, UM, IN APRIL.UM, SO AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, UM, MANY OF YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THE TOWN BECAUSE OF THIS REASON, BUT WE HAVE A VERY RICH HISTORY IN ZONING.
UM, WE'RE RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER IN BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL, UM, PROTECTIONS AS WELL AS PROTECTING THE CHARACTER OF DEVELOPMENT.
STATE LAW ENABLES ZONING, UM, IN MUNICIPALITIES, AND THAT'S THROUGH THE 1994 COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ACT.
THAT IS THE MOST RECENT MAJOR LEGISLATION FOR PLANNING IN THE STATE.
UM, IT ESTABLISHES BASELINE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MUST BE A LONG-TERM PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH, A BLUEPRINT FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.
AND IT MUST BE IN PLACE SPECIFICALLY THE LAND USE ELEMENT BEFORE A COMMUNITY CAN ADOPT A ZONING ORDINANCE.
UM, THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS A DAY-TO-DAY REGULATORY DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT CONTROLLING LAND USE OF INDIVIDUAL PARCELS IN THE COMMUNITY.
TWO OF THE PRIMARY ROLES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS TO DEVELOP AND ADOPT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS WELL AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE IS TO GUIDE DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND TO PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, MORALS, CONVENIENCE, ORDER, APPEARANCE, PROSPERITY, AND GENERAL WE WELFARE.
UH, ACCORDING TO THE STATE'S LAW, UM, ALL THESE ORDINANCES MUST BE GROUNDED IN THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IN 1983, WHEN THE TOWN INCORPORATED, A MAJOR DRIVER OF THAT WAS THE LACK OF RE A LACK OF REGULATION FOR DEVELOPMENT BY BEAUFORT COUNTY.
AND THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, THE TOWN ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A LEADER IN ZONING THROUGH BEGINNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADOPTION OF THEIR OWN ORDINANCES.
IN 1986, THE TOWN ADOPTED THE COMPREHENSIVE TREE ORDINANCE IN 1987.
THAT WAS THE TOWN'S FIRST FULL MENT ORDINANCE.
IT ADDRESSED SIGNS, NATURAL RESOURCE ORDINANCES FOR TREES, BEACHES, WILDLIFE, WATERWAYS, AND
IN 1995, COMPREHENSIVE WETLAND PROTECTION ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED THAT EVEN, UM, EXPANDED UPON THE PROTECTIONS FROM THE 1987 LMO IN NINE.
IN 2009, A CRITICAL STORM PROTECTION AND DUNE ACCRETION ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED FOR INCREASED PROTECTIONS ALONG OUR BEACHFRONT.
IN 2014 WAS THE MAJOR, UM, LAST MAJOR ADOPTION OF THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.
UM, AND SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD AN ANNUAL UPDATE SCHEDULE IN ADDITION TO UPDATES AS NEEDED BASED ON COMMUNITY'S DESIRES.
UM, CURRENTLY WE ARE IN A MULTI-PHASE PROCESS OF REVISIONS AND ASSESSMENT, UM, THAT WE WILL SPEAK TO A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, LATER IN THE TRAINING.
SO HERE WE ARE, WE HAVE OUR LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.
UM, THE TOWN'S LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE IS MADE UP OF TWO PARTS.
IT'S MADE UP OF THE TEXT AND THE ZONING MAP.
THE TEXT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR ZONING DISTRICTS.
OUR PERMITTED USES THE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT.
THE ZONING MAP SETS FORTH THE LOCATION OF THESE DISTRICTS WITHIN THE TOWN, AND THE TOWN IS CLASSIFIED INTO SEVERAL BASE ZONING DISTRICTS.
WE HAVE HERE OUR ZONING MAP, AND YOU'LL SEE THE MAJORITY OF IT IS OUR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE CREAM COLOR, UM, WHICH ARE OUR MAJOR, UM, PLANNED COMMUNITIES.
THERE ARE OVER 20 ZONING DISTRICTS CURRENTLY.
UM, PART OF OUR, UM, OUR MAP, THE LMO TEXT ITSELF IS BROKEN DOWN INTO 10 CHAPTERS IN FOUR APPENDICES.
AND I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF FINDING AND NAVIGATING THIS ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE.
UM, HOPEFULLY TO BE HELPFUL, UM, TO YOU AS YOU WORK, UM, THROUGH THE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.
SO HERE WE HAVE BASICALLY OUR, OUR GOOGLE SEARCH OR BEING SEARCHED FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND
[00:20:02]
NAVIGATE TO OUR WEBSITE UNDER GOVERNMENT.OH, SEE, SO IT'S NOT, ARE YOU ABLE TO, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO.
I'LL CLOSE THIS, UM, AND I'LL HAVE TO REOPEN IT, BUT MAYBE THAT WILL APPEARS TO BE FROZEN.
THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME.
ALWAYS EXCITING WITH TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
OKAY, SO FROM THIS, FROM THE LANDING PAGE FOR THE TOWN UNDER GOVERNMENT AND THEN LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE, YOU'LL BE TAKEN TO OUR ONLINE MUNI CODE.
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE, YOU HAVE OUR DIRECTORY.
THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE 10 IS OUR GENERAL CHAPTER, WHICH HAS AN OVERVIEW OF THE ORDINANCE, THE AUTHORITY, THE PURPOSE AND INTENT, THE APPLICABILITY, AS WELL AS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE REGULATIONS TO, UM, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
CHAPTER TWO IS THE ADMINISTRATION WHERE IT IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, UM, IN CHAPTER THREE, WE HAVE OUR ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED, UM, WITH SPECIFIC REGULATIONS.
THERE ARE ZONES THAT ARE PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL.
THERE ARE ZONES THAT ARE MIXED COMMERCIAL.
THERE ARE ALSO OVERLAY ZONES THAT, UM, THAT REGULATE IN TOP ON TOP OF THE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS.
CHAPTER FOUR CONTAINS OUR USE STANDARDS OR YOU OKAY YOU SAYING THIS.
UM, SO THAT WILL ADDRESS BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR PRINCIPAL AND ACCESSORY USES.
ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS THAT ARE RELATED TO USES, UM, IS FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER.
CHAPTER FIVE IS OUR DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, SETBACKS, BUFFERS, STREETS, OPEN SPACE, TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, PARKING AND LOADING SITE LIGHTING.
ALL OF THESE ARE PART OF WHAT STAFF REVIEWS, UM, WHEN REVIEWING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.
CHAPTER SIX COVERS OUR NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTIONS.
WE HAVE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR WETLANDS, BEACH, AND DUNES AND TREE PROTECTIONS.
CHAPTER SEVEN COVERS OUR NONCONFORMITIES.
AND THEN WE HAVE SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DISASTER RECOVERY.
AND THEN GENERAL, UM, RULES OF MEASUREMENT DEFINITIONS, UM, AND THEN THE APPENDICES, UM, SPEAK TO THE SPECIFIC ADVISORY AND DECISION MAKING BODIES.
SO HERE IS ACTUALLY WHERE YOU'LL FIND VERY SPECIFIC PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S, ROLES AND DUTIES, UM, AND UNDER WHICH YOU'RE OPERATING.
NOW, THAT'S A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE HAS IN IT AND HOW IT'S ORGANIZED.
I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO OUR PRESENTATION.
SO FROM HERE I WANTED TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWS SPECIFICALLY THAT ARE ESTABLISHED, OUR LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.
UM, YOU REVIEW OUR ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS, YOU REVIEW OUR TEXT AMENDMENTS, PUBLIC PROJECT REVIEWS, STREET NAMES, DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND SUBDIVISIONS PLAN, UNIT DEVELOPMENT, ZONING AND ANNUAL TRAFFIC AND MONITORING AND EVALUATION REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS, I'M SORRY, DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND SUBDIVISIONS IS A DUPLICATION, BUT, SO THOSE ARE THE MAJOR APPLICATIONS THAT
[00:25:01]
COME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHERE YOU EITHER MAKE A DECISION OR YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL.CURRENTLY, UM, AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON APRIL 17TH, WE WILL HAVE MULTIPLE PUBLIC PROJECT REVIEWS AS WELL AS A LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT, UM, THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU.
SO SPECIFIC TO THOSE TWO APPLICATIONS, YOU HAVE THE TEXT AMENDMENT STANDARDS FOR REVIEW THAT GUIDE YOUR ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REQUEST.
UM, HERE YOU CAN SEE THE PROCESS FOR THAT, AND YOU'LL SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAPHIC THAT THE DECISION MAKING BODY IS ULTIMATELY TOWN COUNCIL.
AND ABOVE THAT, YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL AND ACCOMP ACCOMPANIED BY A PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, THE PROCESS THAT YOU GO THROUGH FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT IS TO REVIEW IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ASKED THAT ARE SET OUT IN THE LMO AND THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS, IS IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? IS IT REQUIRED BY CHANGE CONDITIONS? DOES IT ADDRESS A DIMINISH, A DEMONSTRATED NEED IN THE COMMUNITY? IS IT CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS IN THE ORDINANCE? OR WOULD IMPROVE COMPATIBILITY AMONG USES AND ENSURE EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE TOWN? WOULD IT RESULT IN A LOGICAL AND ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT PATTERN? AND IT WOULD NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE NATURAL, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO WATER, AIR, NOISE, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, WILDLIFE, VEGETATION, WETLANDS, AND THE NATURAL FUNCTIONING OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
SO AS I STATED, AT THE NEXT MEETING, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW A PROPOSED LMO AMENDMENT.
THE OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT YOU WILL BE REVIEWING WILL INCLUDE A PUBLIC PROJECT REVIEW.
AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HAD ONE THAT'S COME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, GIVE YOU A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.
UH, THE PUBLIC PROJECT REVIEWS ARE FOR ANY PUBLIC PROJECT THAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THE TOWN.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, A NEW ROADWAY OR A NEW PARK.
UM, THOSE HAVE TO BE EVALUATED FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
SO WHEN YOU REVIEW THE PUBLIC PROJECTS, YOU ARE REVIEWING THEM SPECIFICALLY FOR COMPLIANT COMPATIBILITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATIVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT, THE CHARACTER OF THE PROJECT, AND THE EXTENT OF THE PROJECT.
SO STAFF WILL BE MAKING REPORTS FOR EACH OF THESE THAT WILL OUTLINE THOSE FACTS THAT YOU CAN THEN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FROM.
SO FOLLOWING THAT, WE COME TO CURRENT LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE UPDATES.
UM, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF, UM, A MAJOR ASSESSMENT OF OUR LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE AARON BACK UP TO SPEAK TO THAT PROJECT, UM, AND CLOSE OUT THE TRAINING.
SO IF YOU'LL JUST BEAR WITH US A FEW MORE MINUTES, WE WILL FINALIZE THIS.
SO, UM, BACK TO THE LMO, RIGHT IN THE ORDINANCE AND, UM, REALLY THE DOCUMENT THAT GOVERNS CODE FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT? SO IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL.
UH, PREVIOUS LMO AMENDMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THOSE AS PHASES ONE THROUGH THREE, UH, FAIRLY CERTAINLY CAME BEFORE YOU ALL.
MANY OF YOU, ALL OF YOU PERHAPS LOOKED AT THOSE AND REVIEW AS A, UH, OR, UH, FORWARDED ONTO, UH, TOWN COUNCIL, UH, FOR ADOPTION.
SO THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLEARED AND DONE.
AND, UM, THERE WAS A PROCESS, MY UNDERSTANDING, LAST YEAR WE GOT TO PHASE FOUR AND UM, TOOK A STEP BACK.
SO WE'RE REALLY BACK TO PHASE FOUR, AND I'LL GET TO THAT IN HERE IN A SECOND.
SO PART OF THE, UH, THAT WAS TWO 2023, UH, PREVIOUS PHASE ONE, THREE, UH, THREE.
THE, UM, UPDATES, UH, THE, THE CURRENT UPDATES.
SO CONCURRENT WITH THE FOLLOWING PLANNING EFFORTS FOR THE EIGHT DISTRICT PLANS, AND I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT THESE SKULL CREEK PARKWAY ARTS, BRIDGETON BEACH MARSHES, MID ISLAND, FOREST BEACH, CHAPLAIN, AND MAIN STREET.
UM, THERE ARE LMO CHANGES UNDERWAY.
AND SO JUST, UM, AS, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION PURPOSES, GOLD CREEK AND PARKWAY ARTS DISTRICTS, AND AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LMO, UM, WITH UPDATES SCHEDULES, BETTER UNDERSTANDING SCOPE, THAT SORT OF THING IS COMING TO THIS BODY PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE NINTH, NO, I'M SORRY, IT'S NOT
[00:30:01]
THIS PARTY, THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE.I'M SORRY, MAY 9TH, NOT THIS PARTY.
AND, UM, THAT, SO THERE'LL BE, AND THERE'LL BE AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE ON, UM, THOSE TWO DISTRICTS AS WELL AS WHERE WE ARE IN CURRENT UPDATES WITH OUR LMO OR PHASE FOUR.
UM, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CODE AMENDMENTS IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THIS EFFORT.
THEY'RE BROKEN DOWN AND PRIORITIZED INTO SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM AMENDMENTS.
WE'RE GONNA FOCUS RIGHT NOW ON, ON THE SHORT TERM, UM, AMENDMENTS.
SO THESE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS ARE 11.
OKAY? AND THEY WERE APPROVED BY THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE BACK IN JANUARY, THIS, THIS YEAR, AND FIRST OF THE YEAR FOR FURTHER REVIEW.
SO THIS IS WHAT STAFF IS WORKING ON AND REVIEWING AND ANALYZING.
WE BROUGHT IN A CONSULTANT, UH, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, UH, CODE STUDIO, UH, CODE STUDIO'S OUR CONSULTANT THAT'S HELPING US, BUT IT'S TO TACKLE THESE 11.
FIRST IS, UH, CIGNA FOUND MASS AND SCALE.
WE'RE LOOKING TO RECALIBRATE, UH, SOME OF THOSE RECALIBRATING SOME OF THOSE, UM, REQUIREMENTS.
SAME WITH SINGLE FAMILY PARKING, AGAIN, TO RECALIBRATE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
UH, LOOKING AT DESIGN CONNECTIVITY, HOW CAN WE BRING THAT MORE INTO OUR CODE, UH, MAJOR, UH, DPR AND MAJOR SUBPROCESSES THAT INVOLVES THIS BODY.
AND THERE'S A CHART WE'RE LOOKING AT REVIEW OF THAT OPEN SPACE STANDARDS, LOOKING AT THOSE REQUIREMENTS, TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, LOOKING AT THE THRESHOLDS, POTENTIALLY PUTTING IN SOME MULTIMODAL AS PART OF THAT REQUIREMENT.
NUMBER SEVEN, TREE PROTECTION, STRENGTHENING THE, THOSE, THOSE, UH, PROTECTIONS SIGN STANDARDS.
WE NEED TO GO TO A CONTENT NEUTRAL BASED ON A FAMOUS COURT CASE THAT WENT THROUGH THE SUPREME COURT.
NUMBER NINE, SHORT TERM RENTALS.
I KNOW THAT'S A BIG, BIG TOPIC AND WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW TO, UM, ADDRESS THAT AND, AND HOW REGULATE THAT MANAGE, MANAGE THAT.
NUMBER 10, FOOD TRUCKS REGULATIONS ON FOOD TRUCKS.
AND FINALLY, WORKFORCE HOUSING SUCH AS NORTH POINT AND HOW WE ACCOMMODATE THROUGH OUR LMO CODE, UM, DEVELOPMENT LIKE NORTH POINT.
SO WE'RE WORKING HARD DILIGENTLY ON THAT.
UM, NOW AND THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH AND, UM, WITH THE COLLEGE CONSULTANT ON THROUGH APRIL.
AND WE'RE REALLY TEEING IT UP TO GO TO, UH, THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE COMMITTEE IN, UH, MAY TO PRESENT WHERE WE ARE AT MORE OF A HIGH LEVEL, RIGHT? WE'RE NOT GONNA REALLY GET, WE'RE NOT READY TO GET INTO THE ADOPTION PHASE AND GO THROUGH, UH, SPEC UH, SPECIFIC CODE, BUT HIGH LEVEL, RIGHT, HIGH LEVEL, UM, POLICY IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT IN ADDITION TO THOSE DISTRICTS, THOSE, THOSE TWO THAT I MENTIONED.
AND AS SHAY, UH, MENTIONED COMING BACK TO YOU, THIS BODY, UH, APRIL 17TH, UM, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT FOREST BEACH OVERLAY AND FLOOR AREA RATIO REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AS PART OF YOUR REVIEW, THIS HAS ALREADY GONE TO TOWN COUNCIL, IT'S NOW COMING, UM, TO YOU FOR REVIEW AND THERE'S SOME CHANGES THAT ARE PROPOSED TO THAT AMENDMENT.
JAY, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES YES, SIR, WHAT, WHAT I HAD TO SAY AND WHAT WE WANTED TO TELL YOU AND BRING UP TO SPEED WITH ON THE TRAINING.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS, UH, OF AARON THAT WILL OR SHAY WHILE ON THIS PRESENTATION? COMMISSIONER WHALEY? ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
UH, SO I'VE ASKED TO GO BACK TO SLIDE 15 OR 16, THE GENESIS OF THESE FOUR BOLT THESE AREAS OF PRIORITY.
AND THEN IF YOU FLIP IT FORWARD TO 16 IN PARTICULAR, SLIDE 16 PLEASE.
UM, NOW I WAS OUT SICK A COUPLE OF TIMES LAST YEAR, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANY OF THESE AND I THOUGHT IN MY TRAINING OR BEING ON THE COMMISSION, I THOUGHT ALL THESE THINGS COME THROUGH THE COMMISSION TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE.
SO DID THESE GO TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE OR DID THEY COME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION? I JUST MISSED THAT, THOSE MEETINGS.
I THOUGHT THE PROCESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA WAS FOR THE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION TO OVERSEE AND COORDINATE ACTIVITY TO GO UP TO TOWN COUNCIL.
AND THE PLANNING COMMITTEE IS A SUB ARM OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.
SO THIS GOES THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMITTEE, THE TOWN COUNCIL BEFORE COMING TO THE COMMISSION.
'CAUSE I'M NOT RECOGNIZING ANY OF THEM.
UM, THESE WILL COME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION
[00:35:01]
ONCE THEY ARE REFINED.UM, THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE IS OUR, IS OUR BODY THAT IS, UM, HELPING US, UM, PRIORITIZE AND UM, AND DEVELOP THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL THEN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ADOPTION WHEN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ADOPTION.
THAT WILL BEGIN WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO I WOULD SAY WE'RE MAKING HIGHER LEVEL PRIORITIZATIONS, UM, WITH THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE.
AND ONCE WE HAVE IN COORDINATION WITH OUR CONSULTANT DRAFTED LANGUAGE, THAT WILL COME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
YEAH, I APOLOGIZE IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR AT THAT JANUARY MEETING, THAT'S WHERE, UM, WE RECEIVED DIRECTION BY PLANNING, UH, PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE TO FOCUS ON, UM, THOSE AREAS OF THE LMO AND, UM, THINKING ABOUT SHORT TERM VERSUS LONG TERM, THOSE WERE THE SHORT TERM.
THAT WAS THE SHORT TERM LIST THAT CAME ABOUT THAT NOW WE ARE FORWARDING ON AND CERTAINLY ABSOLUTELY HAS TO COME BACK TO YOU FOR THOSE CODES.
AND IT, AND IT DEFINITELY WILL.
SO THE, THE, THE GENESIS OF MY QUESTION, AND I'LL MAKE IT BRIEF, IS I MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD MY OTHER TRAINING
UM, BUT IT'S EVERYTHING TO DO WITH LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCES IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ITS ROOTS IN THE COMMISSION.
SO I DON'T WANNA BELABOR IT, BUT NOW I'M TOTALLY CONFUSED BECAUSE HAVING JUST SPENT A LOT OF TIME, UH, GOING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, MY INTRODUCTORY TRAINING AS A COMMISSIONER, IT'S, THIS SEEMS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROCESS THAT THAT'S LAID OUT BY THE STATE REGULATORS WHO CREATED THAT TRAINING.
SO I JUST WANNA SORT OF HELP THAT.
YOU ARE CORRECT IN THE STATE'S, UM, ENABLING LEGISLATION AND THE FUNCTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE ARE IDENTIFYING AT A HIGHER LEVEL THE ISSUES THAT WE WANT TO ADDRESS AND NEED TO ADDRESS.
AND WE ARE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH TOWN COUNCIL WHO IS ABLE TO, UM, INSTIGATE, UH, REQUESTED AMENDMENTS.
SO WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND WILL THEN BRING THAT LANGUAGE THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO, AND WE WILL ALSO INCORPORATE THE PLANNING COMMISSION INTO OUR PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS.
SO THERE'S MORE TO COME ON THE LMO AMENDMENT PROCESS, BUT WE'RE GETTING HIGHER LEVEL STRATEGIC DIRECTION BASED ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN OF HOW COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO ADDRESS THESE.
THAT WILL THEN COME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR ADOPTION AND MODIFICATION OF THE LMO.
SO THE PROCESS THAT WE ARE IN WITH THE, WITH TOWN COUNCIL IS ALSO LEGALLY SOUND AND VIABLE PROCESS THAT WE CAN USE.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, YES, PETER, MR. CHRISTIAN WHO CAN INITIATE A LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE CHANGE WHAT DIFFERENT BODIES WITHIN THE TOWN CAN DO? WELL, I WILL PULL THIS UP FROM OUR LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE TO BE SAFE IF I CAN FIND IT QUICKLY.
IF NOT, PETER, I WILL NEED TO GET THAT CLARIFICATION BACK TO YOU.
I, I BELIEVE THAT PETER, I'M, I'M GOING TO SAY THIS, I BELIEVE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND TOWN COUNCIL ARE THE BODIES THAT, SO IT COULD INITIATE RIGHT FROM THIS BODY RIGHT HERE.
AND COULD ALSO INITIATE FROM A COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE TOWN COUNCIL THEMSELVES.
CAN, CAN THE TOWN MANAGER INITIATE THAT WITHOUT GOING TO FIND THE COMMISSION OR I COUNCIL COMMITTEE? I CANNOT ANSWER THAT OFF THE TOP.
SO, BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WRITE A LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE CHANGE AND RUN IT UP FOOD CHAINS COUNCIL, SUBCOMMITTEE, AND THEN COMMITTEE.
