 with the roll call. Mr. Cohn. Ms. Davis. Here. Mr. Hart. Here. Ms. Harts. Here. Dr. Mandel. Here. Ms. Thomas. Here. Mr. Tupper. Here. Mr. Frost. Here. And Ms. James is not going to be with us. And I think, is Mr. Cohn here? He may not be here yet. We still have a quorum. I'll give a brief review of the meeting format. Applicants with requests before the planning commission are allotted a presentation time of 10 minutes. This time should include but is not limited to an overview of the project, case history, and any pertinent meetings held regarding the request. This time also includes all persons presenting information on behalf of the applicant, such as attorneys, engineers, and architects. This time limit does not include any questions asked by the planning commission or staff regarding the request. Members of the general public are given the opportunity to address their concerns in intervals of two minutes. The administrator does have a timer and will make presenters aware of when their time has expired. The planning commission reserves the right to amend these procedures on a case-by-case basis. The planning commission uses the consent agenda to approve non-controversial or routine matters by single motion and vote. Examples of such items include approval of site plans, annexations, and street names. If a member of the planning commission or the general public wants to discuss an item on the consent agenda, that item is removed from the consent agenda and considered during the regular meeting. The planning commission then approves the remaining consent agenda items. So this evening on the consent agenda, the first item is approval of the February 1st, 2021, minutes. Item number two, which was a request to assign a land-use classification and a zoning for 501 Jacobs-Millpon Road, has been withdrawn from the agenda, so that will not be considered. Item number three is a request for recommendation to assign a land-use classification of urban-edge mixed residential and a zoning classification of general commercial for pending annexation at 504 Percival Road. The property is currently classified as mixed residential high-density and zoned RMHD by Richland County. Item number four is a request for recommendation to assign interim land-use classification of urban-edge residential large lot and assign interim zoning of single family residential district for pending annexation at it's 0.418 acres on the south side of Maverin Road. The property is currently classified as neighborhood medium density and zoned RSLD by Richland County. Item number five is a site plan review at 2901 Rosewood Drive. This is a request for site plan approval to convert an existing religious organization into 52 unit apartment building. The properties are zoned general commercial. Item number six is a request for site plan approval for the construction of an amenity area for the Village Burnside Farms residential subdivision at 160 Beaconsfield Road. The property is zoned large-scale planned unit development. And finally, number seven is a this is a text amendment to the zoning ordinance. This is amendment to the new chapter 17 of the Columbia Code of Ordinances for the Unified Development Ordinance, which was adopted on August 20th of 2019 to revise the effective date of the ordinance to August 30th of 2021. And that is the entirety of the consent agenda. Thank you. Is there anyone from the Planning Commission that would like any item removed from the consent agenda? Hearing none. Is there anyone from the public that would like to have an item removed from the consent agenda? And when participating, please provide your name for the minutes. Please communicate by sending an email to cocboardmeetingatcolumbiasc.gov. Please communicate via phone by pressing star two to leave a voicemail or star three to speak in person. We will take a brief pause to allow communication from the public. The phone number is 855-925-2801. And the meeting code is 9885. No callers or emails on the line. I have not seen any emails. Mr. Chair, this is Andrew. I have one caller on the line. I believe they're actually here for a different case, but I will connect them briefly just to verify. Do we have a caller on the line? Good evening. Good evening. This is Anthony Lawrence. I'm actually not calling about any consent agenda items. It's actually, I think, on the agenda item number nine under regular agenda. Okay. Thank you, sir. We'll pull you back and when we get to item number nine on the agenda. Okay. Thank you. All right. Any other callers or emails that relate to the consent agenda? At this time, I do not have any callers on the line. Good wish to speak. All right. With no emails or no callers on the line. Can I get a motion, please? Move. We accept the consent agenda. Got a motion. Can I get a second? Second. Got a second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Say no. The ayes have it. The consent agenda is approved. Excuse me. This is we. Could I clarify who the second was, please? Perfect. Thank you, Ms. Davis. The Planning Commission will now move forward with those items on the regular agenda. We will use the following outline for regular agenda items. The administrator will introduce the case. The applicant will have 10 minutes to make a presentation. Planning Commission may ask questions. The public will be allowed to participate via email, voicemail, voice in person or via the web. Planning Commission may ask additional questions of the applicant and then we'll have action by the Planning Commission. So the first case, pardon me, on the regular agenda is a zoning text amendment. The proposal is to amend section 17-674 of the Columbia Code of Ordinances, which is the preservation standards for landmarks and design protection districts review process to amend subsection D criteria for review of design of structures and sites. The proposed text is in your packet. The staff recommendation is for approval and we've got any more here from the preservation office. If you guys have any questions about that. Okay. Any questions from Planning Commission? Hearing none. Do we need any public input on this, Lucinda? I think we do need to go through that process just in case. Okay. All right. So no questions as of yet from the Planning Commission. So we'll go into public comment. We encourage those who would like to comment via email or the web to begin sending in letters and emails. Emails should be sent to COC board meeting at columbiasc.gov or on the web at https colon slash slash public input dot com slash c o c p c dash march. For those wanting to leave a voicemail or speak live, call 855-925-2801. When prompted, please enter the meeting code 9885, then press star two to leave a voicemail or press star three to speak live. Please be sure computer audio is off to avoid any feedback. We will now hear any comments that have been received in writing. I have not seen any emails come through on this case. All right. Any voicemails or any callers on the line? Likewise. At this point, I do not have any callers. I had a question, Jamie. Yes. And this might be for for Amy, but the text in red is talking about it sounds like it's just moving an opening. So is this just allowing you to move a door or a window as long as it's kind of maintaining its original architectural characteristics? It's actually allowing for an unoriginal configuration and opening to be replicated with something that has gained a certain significance on the same facade. So basically, yes, if you have a door that has a certain significance on a facade and you want to replicate it in an opening on the same facade that doesn't currently have a door or it's original configuration, you can do that. Gotcha. Does that make sense? Yep. Yep. Thank you. All right. Thank you for any other callers in the queue or any additional emails? I have not seen any emails come through. No, I have not either. Any follow up questions from Planning Commission? Hearing none, I'll accept the motion. Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we accept that we approve the amendment. Got a motion to approve. Can I get a second? Second. Second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. All right. Any opposed? Say no. The ayes have it. The motion is approved. That's going to take us to the next case, which is a site plan review, which is S-Plan 2021-003, which is located at 1307 Mason Road, TMS number 11813-01-02. And this is a request for site plan approval for the construction of 288 multifamily units. The property is currently being considered for annexation. You may recall that this case came before the annexation came to the Planning Commission last month. The site is approximately 29.28 acres, and the development will contain, again, 288 units contained within 11 buildings. The required number of all street parking spaces for this development is 576, and the applicant is proposing to have 578, which it exceeds those requirements by two. The applicant has also provided a traffic impact study that has been reviewed and approved by the traffic engineer. Ingressant egress to the site will be along North Main. However, there is a proposed emergency second means of ingress and egress that will be provided along Mason Road. Staff comments are generally with regards to connectivity, with regards to sidewalks as long and in addition to walking trails being provided as an amenity, the applicant has been made aware of these requirements, of the conditions that staff is asking and has agreed to those. And I believe the applicant is present if you do not have any questions for staff. Thank you, Mr. Chambers. Any questions from the Planning Commission? I have two questions, and I'm not sure I think the staff probably can answer it. One is, do we know how many floors is in this building? And the other one deals with how many entrances is to this property out of North Main? Is it just one or is it multiple places? I couldn't tell from the map. Thank you. Sure. There are, I'm going to the elevations now. There are, there's actually two means of ingress and egress. So the main entrance would be along North Main. However, for fire department purposes, they're requiring a second means to get in and they're providing that along Mason Road. And that entrance, I believe, will have an, and it will be a gravel road, so it won't be a full loan access as well as I believe it will also have a kind of like a breakaway gate to deter people from being able to just draw them in there. And the applicant would have to speak to the number of floors. Is the applicant. This is Andrew, I do have the applicant. I do have the applicant on public info that I can patch them through. Yes, please do. Thank you. Hello, is there is the applicant on the line? Hello, this is Anthony Lawrence again. Thank you for waiting. I did hear the question about the number of floors and there will be these units will be these apartment homes will be three stories. So there will be three floors and the earlier comment about access, there is the main access into the main resident and public access. Resident access onto the property is on Mason Road. The secondary access is for fire apparatus access only because they have a policy where they do not back trucks up. So they have to head in and head out in any event. There's traffic coming in or cars coming in on North Main. They can enter and exit off of Mason Road. And we do accept the recommendations by staff for the connectivity. That was actually a part of presentation to the community about the newly formed or expansion of the the pond that's there to make it a bit more of an attractive water feature and walking trails in and around the pond and throughout the development. So connectivity is a part of making this a holistic place to live. Thank you, Mr. Lawrence. Any other questions from Planning Commission here? None will move into public comment again. We encourage those who would like to comment via email or the web to begin sending in letters and our emails. Emails should be sent to see OC board meeting at Columbia SC.gov or on the web at HTTPS colon slash slash public input dot com slash C O C P C dash March. And for those wanting to leave a voicemail or speak live, please call 855-925-2801. When prompted, please enter the meeting code 9885. Then press star two to leave a voicemail or press star three to speak live. Again, please be sure your computer audio is off to avoid any feedback. We will pause for a little while just to see if any emails or any callers join the queue. I don't believe I have any callers. Sorry, Andrew. Sorry. I don't believe. Sorry, again, I don't believe I have any callers in this case. I do have a caller who I believe is for the next case, but. I guess I should verify. All right, Lucinda, no callers. I mean, no emails. No emails have come through for this case. Have we verified the caller that's on the line is for item number 10 on the regular agenda? He should be on the call right now. Mr. Daniel, this is Andrew Livinggood. Hey, Andrew, this is Jim Daniel. I'm just listening in. OK, you're for the next case. Yes, number 10. OK, fantastic. So we have no callers on the line or no email correspondence. Any follow up questions from Planning Commission? Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion. Chairman. Got a motion to approve 1307. Or yeah, 1307 Mason Recycling Review. Can I get a second? Second. Got a motion and a second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Yeah, I'll have it. The motion is approved. All right, that's going to take us to the next site plan review, which is site S. Platt twenty twenty one zero zero zero one, which is a north side north and south side of the four hundred block of Coway Alley on four seventeen through four twenty five Henderson Street, sixteen oh three through sixteen fifteen Rice Street, two vacant lots on the south side of the sixteen hundred block of Rice Street, three twelve through three twenty eight Pickin Street, a vacant lot within the sixteen hundred block of Catawba Street and a portion of Phelps and and a portion of the Phelps Street TMS number one one three oh seven dash eighteen dash zero five and zero six one one three oh seven dash twelve dash nine one one three oh seven and 13 dash zero three through zero seven eleven three oh seven thirteen and twenty one through twenty five eleven three oh seven 13 and 26 through 31, 11307, 13 and 14 through 17, 11307, 19 and 1, 11307, 19 and 6 through 19, and then 11307, 21 and 1, a portion thereof. And you may recall that this case was before the planning commission last month. And the case was deferred in an effort for the developer to come up with a solution with regards to Phelps Street, not connecting to Pickin Street. Since then the applicant has submitted a revised plan, whereas Phelps Street terminates as a T turnaround, and there's no connection to the Pickin Street right of way. And in an effect of that, since the connection to Pickin Street has been eliminated, the pavement with Phelps Street was increased from 21 feet, which was previously shown to 26 feet, which was to accommodate a fire ladder truck and solid waste vehicles that would service this area. There is a condition from staff that it's under my staff comments that the applicant add a low wall, either landscaping, a neighborhood sign, et cetera, in this area, which would be between the T turnaround and the Pickin Street right away to prevent vehicles from coming off of Pickin Street and driving down Phelps Street. The applicant has been made aware of that request and has agreed to that. We've also received a letter from the neighborhood, which we received today, which we would like to read into the record. And it is, see here, it is from the Wheeler Hill Neighborhood Association, and it's dated today addressed to me regarding the proposed site plan for the Wheeler Hill phase two. And it reads, last Thursday, a number of the residents of the Wheeler Hill, a Wheeler Hill had a Zoom meeting with David Tuttle to discuss the revised site plans of C3 and C4, dated February the 19th, 2021, for his Wheeler Hill development. In particular, the conversation dealt with drawing C4, which dealt with the proposed Phelps Street hammerhead that would run parallel to the right-of-way of Pickins. The neighborhood approved this revised plan for Phelps Street as it does not require Phelps Street to connect to Pickins. Mr. Tuttle told us, and the plan confirms that there will be a small retaining wall at the end of Phelps Street. Phelps, so traffic from Pickins cannot access Phelps. Please make this letter a part of the file for today's planning commission meeting. If there are any questions, please let me know. I plan to be on the video meeting this afternoon, and assign yours truly James M. Daniel, who is the president of the Wheeler Hill Neighborhood Association. And at this time, is there any questions for staff? All right, thank you, Jonathan. Any questions from planning commission to staff? I'm not sure who to ask, but I'm still wondering about any accommodations that were made for the church that sits there in that area. And I didn't see anything, certainly, in the documents. So I'm not sure who to ask about that, but would like to know. Is Dr. Mendel, that question would be to go to the applicant, Mr. Tuttle. Dr. Mendel, David Tuttle, thank you for your time this evening. That matter, like we discussed last time, I think there, well, I know there's some faults between the church, university, city, and others related to that, and they're working on a solution. And we're certainly involved and willing to help in that solution, but there's no solution that's been codified yet, but I know it's in the works. David, Mr. Tuttle, you got anything else you want to present to staff before we open it up to any other public? No, a deference to y'all's time. We heard the residents at the last meeting, certainly voiced their concerns, and we took them to heart and quickly, as quickly as we could redesign and try to take those objections and incorporate solutions in the new plan. I think we've accomplished that. We had a very productive meeting the other night, and I think we're all in agreement to move forward. Thank you, sounds good. Any follow-up questions from Planning Commission before we move to public comment? Hearing none, we'll move on over to public comment. Again, we encourage those who would like to comment via email or the web to begin sending in letters and emails. Emails can be sent to COC board meeting at columbiasc.gov or on the web at https colon slash slash publicinput.com slash cocpc-march. For those wanting to leave a voicemail or speak live, please call 855-925-2801. And when prompted, please enter the meeting code 9855. Then press star two to leave a voicemail or press star three to speak live. Again, be sure your computer audio is off to avoid any feedback. If we had one caller on the line, do they wish to speak? I can certainly connect him. Mr. Daniel, are you on the line? I think so. Okay, yep, we can hear you. You have any? I would suck at what Mr. Tuttle has said that the neighborhood is in agreement with his new revised plan. And as far as the church discussions, we're hearing the same thing that he's hearing that they're in discussions and trying to resolve the matter. Thank you. Any questions from planning commission to Mr. Daniel? Hearing none, I think we're good. Listen to any emails or any other callers. Thank you, sir. I have not seen any emails come through. No additional callers on the line. I know there are no additional callers. If there's no further follow-up questions from any commission, I'll entertain a motion. I have a motion to approve. Got a motion to approve. Mason, you want to just clear that up to say motion to approve with staff comments? I have a motion to approve staff comments for the Wheelerville development. Got a motion to approve with staff comments. Can I get a second? Second. Got a second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed, say no. The ayes have it. The motion is approved. Thank you all for your time. Thank you. All right, do we have any other business? I am not aware of any other business. All right, as we have no other business, can I get a motion to adjourn? I move we adjourn the meeting. Got a motion. Can I get a second? Second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. All right. All right, motion is adjourned. Thank you. Thanks, everybody. Good night. Good evening.
