Re: Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment - Planned University Main Campus Overlay District # West Goshen Township -ZA-03-20-16290

Dear Mr. LaLonde:

The Chester County Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment as submitted pursuant to the provisions of thePennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Section 609(e). The referral for review was received by this office on March 6, 2020. We offer the followingcomments to assist in your review of the proposed amendments.

DESCRIPTION:

1. The Township proposes the followingamendments to its Zoning Ordinance:

A. Amend Section 84-4, by adding referencesto the Planned University Main Campus District Overlay District; B. Add the followingdefinitions to Section 84-8: Athletic Facility-Intercollegiate Competition Use, Athletic Facility - Recreational Use, Auditorium, University Educational Facilities, "University Offices, Administrative and Faculty," On-Campus, Parking Garage, "Parking Lot, Surface," Student Recreation Center, Student Services, University, University Main Campus, University Food Service Facilities, University Bookstore Facilities, University Gymnasium, University Health and • Counseling Facilities, University Physical Plant Facilities, and "Utility Uses, Facilities and Structures"; C. Amend the followingdefinitions in Section 84-8: Educational Use, and Student Housing; and D. Add Article XXVII,Planned University Main Campus Overlay District. Purpose and Intent, Applicability, Use Regulations, area and bulk regulations, and submission requirements are provided. We acknowledge that the pmpose and intent of the Overlay District, as set forthin the introductory language in Section 84-133, is to recognize the unique character and interrelated complexities of appropriately regulating the campus use of West Chester University, relative to the issues set forthin this section. We also note that Section 84-134 states that Overlay District standards shall be applicable to certain portions of the R-3 Residential and I-2 Light Industrial zoning districts,when approved by conditional use.

2. The Township proposes to apply the PUC Class 1, PUC Class 2, PUC Class 3, and PUC Class 4 sub-districts to the list of parcels provided in Section 3 of the draftOrdinance. We acknowledge that Overlay District maps are provided in Exhibit A of the draft Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION: The Township should consider the comments in this letter before acting on the proposed zoning ordinance and zoning map amendment.

Zoning Map PLANNED UNIVERSITY CAMPUS DISTRICT February 18, 2020 Detail-ExhibitA (page I), Planned UniversityMain Campus Overlay District Page: 3 Re: Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment - Planned University Main Campus Overlay District # West Goshen Township - ZA-03-20-16290

AREA EVALUATION:

The following land use planning policies and regulations are relevant to the proposed Overlay District:

3. Water and Sewer Facilities: According to County mapping records, this area of the Township is served by public water and public sewer facilities.

4. Municipal Comprehensive Plan: The Future Development Plan map in the Township's 2019 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Overlay District is located in the Existing Institutional Use, Existing Public Park/Open Space, and Commercial, Office, Industrial Infill designations. We note that the Existing Public Park/OpenSpace designation within the proposed Overlay District is the Robert B. Gordon Natural Heritage Area included in the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Index (PNDI), which is administrated in collaboration with West Chester University's Office of Sustainability, as identifiedonline at: www.wcupa.edu/gordonNaturalArea/default.aspx.

LANDSCAPES:

5. The proposed Overlay District is located within the Suburban Landscape, Urban Center Landscape, and Natural Landscape designations of Landscapes3, the 2018 County Comprehensive Plan. The vision for the Suburban Landscape is predominantly residential communities with locally-oriented commercial uses and facilities, accommodating growth at a medium density that retains a focuson residential neighborhoods, with enhancements in housing diversity and affordability. Additionally, roads, sidewalks and paths with convenient access to parks and community facilitiesshould be provided. The vision forthe Urban Center Landscape is historic downtown and established neighborhoods serving as civic, economic, and population centers with a traditional town character, accommodatingsubstantial futuregrowth at a medium to high intensity. Transportation infrastructure improvements and amenities supporting a walkable community should be provided and integrated into the public transportation and roadway systems. As an overlay of all other landscapes, the county's Natural Landscapes consist of a network of streams, wetlands, floodplains, and forests that are protected by regulations or should be subject to limited disturbance. Conservation practices should protect and restore thesenatural resources. The proposed zoning ordinance and zoning map amendment is consistent with the objectives ofLandscapes3.

COMMENTS:

6. It is our understanding that West Chester Borough and West Goshen Township, in consultation with West Chester University, have been working towards the creation ofan overlay district that encompasses the current properties owned by West Chester University. We acknowledge that Section 84-133.A of the proposed Zoning Ordinance states that one of the purposes of the amendment is to plan for orderly, coordinated, unified development of the University Main Campus and related uses by developing uniformstandards withadjacent municipalities. We also acknowledge that one of the overarching planning goals of West Chester Borough's 2017 Comprehensive Plan & Urban Center Revitalization Plan is to "strengthen community partnership with West Chester University to collectively address a range ofissues related to preserving quality oflifethe in the Borough" (page 11). Page: 4 Re: Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment -Planned University Main Campus Overlay District # West Goshen Township-ZA-03-20-16290

The Township and West Chester Borough should coordinate their reviews of the proposed ordinance language, in order to ensure that consistent standards and terminology are adopted in both municipal ordinances. As of March 31, 2020, the Chester County Planning Commission has not received a zoning amendment submission fromWest Chester Borough on thismatter.

7. Prior to taking action on this amendment, the Township should ensure that the draft amendment is generally consistent with its municipal Comprehensive Plan, as set forth in Section 603(j) of the PA Municipalities Planning Code (PA MPC). We acknowledgethat the community goal for housing in the Comprehensive Plan (page 62) is to protect the quality of the existing housing stock and meet the housingneeds of current and futureresidents by providing forhousing options that accommodate households at various life stages and income levels, and we note that Section 84-133 .B of the Zoning Ordinance states that thepurpose and intent of the proposed ordinance includes the following: "Strengthen, maintain and preserve neighborhoods and improve existing housing stock in neighborhoods which surround or are immediately outside of the University Main Campus." The Township may wish to consider including similar policy support language forthe Campus Overlay District in the appropriate section of their comprehensive plan. We also note that proposed overlay district areas generally correspond to either the Existing Institutional Use areas shown on theFuture Development Plan map, or the Robert B. Gordon Natural Heritage Area thatis administrated in part by the University's Officeof Sustainability.

8. Section 84-13 7 .A states that no land development or change inuse of an existing building froma use not previously utilized by the University shall occur except in compliance with the Overlay District regulations. For clarity purpose,the Township should identifyif this requirement would also apply to a change in use of a building that is currentlyused by the University.

9. We suggest that multimodal transportation options such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities be added to the list of strategies and initiatives to be included in a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, as set forthin Section 84-140.A(l).

10. The second line in Section 84-141.E on page 18 contains an extra comma (" ... on the University's Master Plan, , independent. ..") which should be removed in the final draft.

11. While subsection B of Section 84-144, Sustainability, states that all proposed buildings shall be designedto meet LEED Silver Certificationcriteria, we suggest that the Township include a basic definition of "sustainability" as it applies to this ordinance.

12. Section 84-145.C states that,after submission and approval of the initial University CampusPlan, the Master Site Plan which is approved by conditional use by the Board shall be valid fora period of ten (10) years fromthe date of approval. We suggest that the Township and University review the planat five (5) year intervals to determine if updates are needed prior to the ten year mark.

13. Prior to taking action on this amendment, the Township should ensure that they have met the posting and notification requirements for zoning map amendments as set forthin Section 609 of the PA Municipalities Planning Code (PA MPC). Page: 5 Re: Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment - Planned University Main Campus Overlay District # West Goshen Township- ZA-03-20-16290

We request an official copy of the decision made by the Township Supervisors, as required by Section 609(g) of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. This will allow us to maintain a current filecopy of your ordinance.

Municipal Comprehensive Plan: The Future Development Plan map in the Township's 2019 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Overlay District is located in the Existing Institutional Use, Existing Public Park/Open Space, and Commercial, Office, Industrial Infill designations. We note that the Existing Public Park/Open Space designation within the proposed Overlay District is the Robe1t B. Gordon Natural Heritage Area included in the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Index (PNDI), which is administrated in collaboration with West Chester University's Office of Sustainability, as identified online at: www.wcupa.edu/gordonNaturalArea/default.aspx.

LANDSCAPES:

6. The proposed Overlay District is located within the Suburban Landscape, Urban Center Landscape, and Natural Landscape designations of Landscapes3, the 2018 County Comprehensive Plan. As stated in our previous review (CCPC# ZA-03-20-16290), the proposed zoning ordinance and zoning map amendment is consistent with the objectives of Landscapes3.

COMMENTS:

7. It is our understanding that West Goshen Township and West Chester Borough, in consultation with West Chester University, have been working towards the creation of an overlay district that encompasses the current properties owned by West Chester University. The County Planning Commission previously reviewed the PUC Planned University Main Campus Overlay District amendment fromWest Chester Borough on July 8, 2020 (CCPC# ZA-06-20-16368). While we have no record of West Chester Borough taking action on this amendment (as of June 24, 2021), we note that the corresponding definitions, and University Campus Plan requirements, are generally identical in nature. The Township and West Chester Borough should continue to coordinate their reviews of the proposed ordinance language, in order to ensure that consistent standards and terminology are adopted in both municipal ordinances.

8. Prior to taking action on this amendment, the Township should ensure that the draft amendment is generally consistent with its municipal Comprehensive Plan, as set forth in Section 603G) of the PA Municipalities Planning Code (PA MPC). We acknowledge that the community goal for housing in the Comprehensive Plan (page 62) is to protect the quality of the existing housing stock and meet the housing needs of current and future residents by providing for housing options that accommodate households at various life stages and income levels, and we note that Section 84-133.B on page 9 states that the purpose and intent of the proposed ordinance includes the following:"Strengthen, maintain and preserve neighborhoods and improve existing housing stock in neighborhoods which surround or are immediately outside of the University Main Campus." The Township may wish to consider including similar policy support language for the Campus Overlay District in the appropriate section of their comprehensive plan.

9. Section 84-137 .A states that no land development or change in use of an existing building froma use not previously utilized by the University shall occur except in compliance with the Overlay District regulations. For clarity purposes, the Township should identify if this requirement would also apply to a change in use of a building that is cmTently used by the University, as opposed to only those not previously used.

10. We suggest that multimodal transp01tation options such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities be added to the list of strategies and initiatives to be included in a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, as set fo1th inSection 84-140.A(l).

11. The second line in Section 84-141.E on page 17 contains an extra comma (" ... on the University's Master Plan, , independent. .. ") which should be removed in the final draft.

12. While subsection B of Section 84-144, Sustainability, states that all proposed buildings shall be designed to meet LEED Silver Ce1tification criteria, we suggest that the Township include a basic definitionof "sustainability" as it applies to this ordinance.

13. Section 84-145.C states that, aftersubmission and approval of the initial University Campus Plan, the Master Site Plan which is approved by conditional use by the Board shall be valid for a period of ten (10) years from the date of approval. We suggest that the Township and University review the plan at five(5) year intervals to determine if updates are needed prior to the ten year mark.

14. Prior to taking action on this amendment, the Township should ensure that they have met the posting and notification requirements forzoning map amendments as set forth in Section 609 of the PA Municipalities Planning Code (PA MPC).

Sincerely,
