Templeton-McCanless Neighborhood

Neighborhood Stakeholder Meeting Held on February 25, 2017 Attended by approximately 55 persons What we heard Need to address problems with non-owner occupied properties with respect to code enforcement and rental inspections Code enforcement issues are significant: vacant houses, mowing, and business operating out of homes Need to address parking challenges posed by churches in the neighborhood

What we heard Need to give the HLC more authority over historic properties Homeowners need assistance with the upkeep of historic homes; e.g. incentives and property tax abatements Sidewalk improvements are needed Preserve the integrity of the single-family (SF) homes in the neighborhood Infrastructure cannot support multi-family (MF) How can the city best address/regulate multi-family uses in the neighborhood? Need for accessory dwelling units or granny flats

Existing Zoning

Existing Zoning Issues Apartment and duplex zoning not compatible with single family neighborhood context 2004 masonry standards are not compatible with neighborhood context No other design standards for new homes (e.g. architectural style, roof design, scale, façade details) No protection from the demolition of historic structures to build incompatible structures

Summary of Assessment Collection of historically significant homes Current zoning allows for duplex and apartments (with no design standards) Several incompatible buildings have started eroding the neighborhood character Need to protect homeowners investment in historic properties Existing Historic Preservation Ordinances and Zoning regulations are not aligned and are in conflict

Proposed New Unified Development Ordinance Goal of UDO is to streamline all development related ordinances (zoning, subdivision, historic preservation) Recommends a new Neighborhood Conservation (NC) Zoning District Recommends a new Historic Overlay designation

Proposed New Unified Development Ordinance NC Zoning District - Non-historic properties and new construction - Site development standards (setbacks, height, parking, etc.) - Urban Design standards for new construction Residential Historic Overlay - Applies to exterior remodel of historic properties only - Building design and architectural design standards (based on Secretary of the Interior Standards) NC = Neighborhood Conservation

Neighborhood Conservation (NC) Zoning District New zoning district Will apply generally to all Traditional Neighborhoods as identified in the Future Land Use Plan Zoning standards will re-inforce: Compatible building types Site development standards (setbacks, height, placement of home and parking, landscaping, etc.) Building design standards for different housing types that will be architectural style neutral (doors, windows, roof design and pitch, building materials, porch design, etc.) Building form is more important than density

Neighborhood Conservation Zoning District Purpose and intent: to preserve the historic neighborhood context to protect and improve neighborhood value Permitted uses by right SF residential MF residential (only when replacing an existing MF) Accessory dwelling unit (granny flat) Accessory buildings Permitted uses by additional review (SUP) Bed-and-breakfast
