Adjournment ITEM #5A MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Baroody, City Manager FROM: Mike Craig, Zoning Administrator DATE: October 3, 2017 (for the October 10, 2017 meeting) RE: Proposed Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment– Historic District Floodplain Density ISSUE Should the City Council approve a text amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance to remove the 50% reduction of residential density when 25% or more of a site is in the 100 year floodplain and the 25% reduction of residential density for sites containing 15% to 24% floodplain, within certain areas of the Historic Fredericksburg Overlay District outside of the regulatory floodway? RECOMMENDATION Approve a text amendment to the UDO to remove the 50% reduction of residential density when 25% or more of a site is in the 100 year floodplain and the 25% reduction of residential density for sites containing 15% to 24% floodplain, within certain areas of the Historic Fredericksburg Overlay District outside of the regulatory floodway. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item on September 13 at which no one spoke. After discussion, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to recommend approval of the text amendment to the City Council with one member absent and one member abstaining. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT § 72-51.1(1)(b) reduces the maximum residential density permitted on unbuildable lands, when the sum of such features comprises 15% to 24% of the site, by 75%, and when the sum of such features comprises more than 25% of the site, by 50%. Unbuildable lands are defined as: [1] One-hundred-year frequency floodplains; [2] Slopes in excess of 25%; [3] Quarries or landfills, abandoned mines, or excavation areas; and [4] Soils determined to be unbuildable for residential and street development; The proposed text amendment would add a subsection c to this regulation that states: (c) “The area of a site within the Historic Fredericksburg District that is in the one-hundred-year frequency floodplain, but is not in the floodway or otherwise unbuildable, is exempt from the residential density reductions in (a)(1) and (b).” Within the Historic Fredericksburg Distirct (HFD), 159 acres are within the 100 year floodplain. The 100 year floodplain consists of the two elements, the floodway (shown in turqoise on the map on page 2) and the floodfringe (shown in pink on the same map). The designated floodfringe Page 2 of 8 (shaded pink) consists of 84 acres. Out of the 84 acres, only 49 acres are privately held. This text amendment would restore the right to 83 total residential units on that land as shown on the following map1. 16 of the 83 units would be on vacant properties. The remaining 67 units would be restored on properties with existing structures that are currently in use. The restored units cluster in two general areas: the historic industrial area south of the train station around Frederick and Charles Street and the historic Caroline Street corridor. Half (eight) of the rights restored on vacant parcels are on parcels centered on the intersection of Frederick and Charles Streets that are either vacant or contain historic industrial structures in need of renovation and reuse. Six of those units are on the parcels located at 306-312 Frederick Street, which is the subject of a special exception application that seeks restoration of the units in order to faciliate the adaptive reuse of the historic tomato cannery at 306 Frederick Street. The rights to seven additional units would be restored in the historic industrial structures in that neighborhood. 1 Number derived from GIS information and existing by-right density levels using the following assumptions. Parcels containing single family homes in the Commercial Downtown were calculated based on the single family density of 12 units per acre. All other parcels used the multi-family density of 18 units per acre. The hotel parcel (98 existing rooms), and the Hughes Adult Home (110 beds) were excluded from the calculation. Page 3 of 8 The map also shows the restoration of units on parcels with occupied structures that are in active use. Seven of the units would be restored on parcels with historic industrial structures at the Frederick and Charles Street intersection. The majority of the restored units (37) would be within existing historic buildings along the Caroline Street corridor. New construction within the floodfringe is subject to the construction standards in the City’s Floodplain Overlay District (FOD) as well as the Virginia Statewide Building Code (VSBC). These codes require that new residential construction be elevated 18 inches above the regulatory base flood elevation Aerial view of the intersection of Frederick and Charles Streets. established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Any substantial improvement of an existing historic building will be required to conform to the City’s modern floodplain rules once more than half the assessed value of the structure is spent. Additionally, any modification of these buildings or new construction is subject to review by the Architectural Review Board and requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. This will ensure that the form of the restored units fits into the existing historic fabric. 20 parcels in the floodfringe and the HFD currently have non-conforming density levels. This ordinance change will make 8 of these parcels conforming. While the remaining 12 will not be made conforming, the removal of the density restriction will bring more of their historic use into compliance with modern zoning laws. Prior to modern zoning, the character of the buildings, streetscape, and urban fabric in the City’s historic core created higher general density levels than are allowed today. Overall general density levels in the core should be reviewed during the Area 7 small area planning process. The proposed UDOTA would make the 2 units at 801 Caroline Street legally conforming. There are 6 units at 1017 Caroline Street built prior to zoning.

Stern to George A. Ball are in regards to Ball’s donations to the foundation of the new Mary Washington Hospital. It is outlined that if Ball adds another $750 to his previous $250 donation then he would have one of eleven “family tablets” inscribed and mounted within the hospital. Included in the letters is a sample of the family memorial tablets along with their approximate dimensions. Over the course of a few months, Stern repeatedly sends Ball letters as it seems that Ball never responded to the original letter. The last letter, dated November 7, 1928, is damaged and much is indecipherable. From what is decipherable, it seems as though Ball made another donation to and received a family tablet in the new Mary Washington Hospital building. Source: Letter Date: April 28, 1928 Summary: A letter thanking Mr. Ball for his “generous check” for the Mary Washington House.

Interviewer: Let's try to pick up where we left off - although we lost some recorded material when one of the transcribers tangled the tape. We ought to talk about your interest in family and genealogy which I know continued through the years you lived away. Tomi: Mother had given me a DAR membership for my 18th birthday. Interviewer: Just what you wanted. Tomi: Oh yes. I didn't want a car or a trip to Europe. I wanted a DAR membership. (Both are laughing) And I managed to totally ignore the DAR membership for years. Then when I was living in Florida a friend of mine, Judy Hawkins Barton, wrote or called and said she was the Regent of a new chapter that was forming. She asked me to switch to hers. Well of course I would. I don't know anything about the chapter where I was. So I joined and then over the years got to be registrar and then Regent. Interviewer: This is of a Florida chapter? Tomi: No, this is the Overwharton Parish Chapter in Stafford County. Interviewer: Can you tell me anything about the history of the Overwharton Parish chapter. Tomi: It was formed out of the chapter here ... the chapters just get too big. And others form. Interviewer: How many of them are here? Are there three? Tomi: It depends really on what you mean by here.

  • 68 the Lone Surviving Pier Table of the Bellangé Suite Served As a Major
    68 The lone surviving pier table of the Bellangé suite served as a major inspiration in the updated White House during Roosevelt’s administration, but it was not immediately restored nor set out for display. Fortunately, in 1929, Congress passed an act preventing the removal of objects from the White House, as had happened in several administrations, including Buchanan’s: “[p]rior to the (law), the Presidents could either give away their White House gifts, take them home with them, or sell them at public auction.”clxi Objects no longer actively used in the interiors were instead stored in the White House attic or in Fort Washington, Maryland—it is assumed that the Bellangé pier table went there following the 1902 restoration. The table’s removal from the White House erased its important rediscovery, thereby negating the Bellangé suite’s historical importance and rightful place in the White House. The Bellangé furniture, once employed as symbols of American triumph and achievement, was now, once again, cast away from the White House. The pier table, as the last remaining representative of the entire suite, fell subject to a dusty storage building outside of Washington for some time before it was put to use years later. The pier table’s discovery already acted as the driving force behind McKim’s design for the Blue Room, but it fulfilled another important role fifty years later. This lone object initiated the return of the surviving Bellangé examples after 144 years and thirty Presidents. 69 Chapter 5: Royal Treasures Years passed, and so too did Presidents.

  • Fredericksburg Planning Commission FROM
    MEMORANDUM TO: Fredericksburg Planning Commission FROM: Kathleen Dooley, City Attorney DATE: July 31, 2017 RE: Text amendment for wireless communications infrastructure Issue: Shall the Planning Commission recommend approval of changes to zoning regulations for wireless communications infrastructure? The amendments have been developed in response to three events: new legislation from the 2017 General Assembly, City Council’s Broadband Priority, and a franchise application from Mobilitie, a provider of wireless communications infrastructure. The zoning regulation amendments are part of a larger package of City Code amendments that are intended to provide the legal infrastructure for granting franchises to wireless communication infrastructure providers. The other ordinances address the role of City and Public Utility Review Committee (CPURC) and the Department of Public Works in administering these franchises. The draft ordinance package is posted on the City’s website with the City Council agenda packet for July 7, 2017. The legal landscape for broadband deployment is in flux. The Federal Communications Commission is considering changes to the classification of broadband as a “telecommunications service,” and the General Assembly is expected to consider additional changes in 2018. The current legislative proposals will not be the last time we visit this topic. 2017 07 31 Memo to Planning Commission Wireless Communications Infrastructure Page 2 Recommendation: The following amendments are required for compliance with the new state law: • Exempt micro-wireless facilities from zoning regulation (lines 44-46), • Establish a 60 day deadline for review of small cell facility collocation applications (lines 68-70), • Establish criteria for review of small cell facility collocation applications (lines 100- 113), and • Amend definitions (lines 133 – 180).
