MEMBERS PRESENT Tom Roper, Duane Christopher, Gladys Robinson, Georgia Thomas, Randy Graham MEMBERS ABSENT Justin Smith, Shelly Goodner STAFF PRESENT Eric Hawkins, Dennis Fields, Bill Meyer, Leah Youngblood 1. Approval of minutes of the May 2, 2017, meeting. Mr. Christopher made a motion to approve the minutes from the April 4, 2017, meeting. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously by a vote of 5-0 (Smith and Goodner absent). 2. Hold public hearing and consider a recommendation to City Council on petition T-2017-02 by Rock Hill City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance affecting Article 4: Use Regulations and Article 10: Definitions & Rules for Interpretation, in relation to breweries and brewpubs. Mr. Meyer presented the staff report. Mr. Roper asked how the proposed size limits relate to the size of Legal Remedy Brewing. Mr. Meyer stated that the limits are about twenty-five percent larger than Legal Remedy. Legal Remedy has about 2,500-2,800 square feet outdoors and the proposed ordinance allows up to 3,000. Mr. Roper asked if there were any known legal issues surrounding zoning of these types of uses. He stated that he had heard of a few ongoing legal issues in Charlotte. Mr. Meyer answered that he did not think the issues were related to zoning, but rather regulatory issues with size. Ms. Thomas asked if these brewpubs were chains or independent locations. Mr. Meyer stated that most of them are smaller individual businesses. Ms. Thomas asked if the downtown area was a good location for these types of uses. Mr. Meyer stated that the downtown area could be tricky since most of the locations require a loading area. Mr. Christopher asked if the Conditional Use Permits (CUP) required approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Meyer answered that the Zoning Board would only approve those locations that required a special exception and that a CUP was a staff level approval. CUP’s are required for uses that have use specific standards. Mr. Graham asked if the proposed allowance of 3,000 square feet of outdoor area was enough room. Mr. Meyer answered that any larger of an area may have a larger impact on the neighboring uses. A larger user at that point may want to be labeled as an extended hours restaurant or bar, or find a larger property that would allow for a larger use. There were no further questions or comments. Mr. Christopher presented the motion to recommend to City Council approval of the proposed amendments. Ms. Thomas seconded, and the motion carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0 (Smith and Goodner absent). Planning Commission Minutes June 6, 2017 Page 2 3. Other Business. a. Overview of Zoning Ordinance Update Project Ms. Youngblood gave an overview of the zoning ordinance update Project, including expected dates of meetings and workshops. b. Election of Officers Mr. Christopher made a motion to keep the same elected officers, Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously by a vote of 5-0 (Smith and Goodner absent). 4. Adjourn. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:30PM. Staff Report to Planning Commission M-2017-07 E Meeting Date: July 11, 2017 First Baptist Church Rock Hill is requesting to amend the official zoning map of the City of Rock Hill by rezoning approximately 2.42 acres of property and adjacent right of way located at 1831 Springsteen Road from Residential Development District II (RD-II) in York County to Office & Institutional (OI). Tax Map Number 666-01-02-005 (insert aerial photo) Reason for Request: This property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed SF-2 zoning. SEE ATTACHED REPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION Case No. M-2017-07 Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission Meeting Date: July 11, 2017 Location: 1831 Springsteen Road, Tax Map #666-01-02-005 Site Area: Approximately 2.42 acres. Request: Annex property into the City and rezone from Residential Development District II (RD-II) in York County to Office and Institutional (OI). Use: Single-family residential. Owner/Applicant: First Baptist Church Rock Hill 481 Hood Center Drive 803-327-7181 Site Description The subject property is the location of a single-family residence. It is located on the east side of the City and fronts on Springsteen Road. Surrounding uses include single-family residential, multi-family residential, and undeveloped property in residential and commercial zoning districts. The adjoining property to the rear is also owned by First Baptist Church Rock Hill. Proposal This annexation was initiated by the City. The current owner signed an annexation agreement in 2014 and an annexation petition in May at the City’s request. The property is served by City water and is subject to annexation at the City’s discretion. Annexation of properties contiguous to the City promotes greater efficiency in City services and reduces jurisdictional issues. The owner plans to convert the house to serve as part of the church in the future and requested Office an Institutional zoning. Existing Zoning District Summary Residential Development District II (RD-II)- The Residential Development II District is designed to permit a variety of residential uses and variable densities based on the characteristics of the uses. Areas so designated are deemed suited to and with market potential for the uses. This designation is applied principally to undeveloped areas where unit and density flexibility will not adversely impact existing residential subdivisions, and where the housing market can be sufficiently broad and flexible to meet the various demands for housing. Permitted uses include single-family dwellings, schools, horticulture and some agricultural interests, neighborhood and community parks, churches, duplexes, multi-family dwellings, child care centers, nursing homes, and mobile home subdivisions. Proposed Zoning District Summary Office and Institutional (OI)- The OI district is established to provide a wide variety of professional and business offices and institutions proximate to residential and more intense business districts so as to satisfy the City’s demand for services.

  • Top 10 School Bus Companies Blog
    TOP 10 SCHOOL BUS COMPANIES Throughout the years, the task of making the best buses for school transportation has been handled by various companies. This article features 10 school bus companies which made a name for themselves, when it came to redefining the way we look at a school bus. #1 WAYNE CORPORATION Topping our list of companies is Wayne Corporation. Though the company declared itself bankrupt and discontinued operation in 1992, the Wayne Corporation had played a vital role in the development of safe buses for school children. They were the first and foremost to introduce the concept of school buses for schools. Their innovation predates the famous yellow coloured buses which are widely used these days. www.trackschoolbus.com They introduced the horse drawn carts, including kid hacks, which later evolved into automobiles which used full metal body chassis. Wayne Corporation introduced guard rails on the sides of all school buses, inboard wheelchair lifts, and even high-headroom doors. They were the first with a school bus based upon a cutaway van chassis, the Wayne Busette. This chassis design is still one of the most popular in North American markets even after more than 35 years. #2 BLUE BIRD An all time giant, the Blue Bird Corporation (formerly called Blue Bird Body Company) is clearly one of the top school bus manufacturing companies even today. Blue Bird's corporate headquarters and main manufacturing facilities are in Georgia. www.trackschoolbus.com It was in 1937 that the company began production of full-steel bus bodies. This innovation would soon replace the wooden bodies which were commonly used in the United States.
