AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
ORDINANCE NO. BL2011-891

Madam President:

I move to amend Ordinance No. BL2011-891 by modifying it as follows:

By adding the following new Section 3 and Section 4 and renumbering the remaining sections of the Ordinance accordingly:

“Section 3. Be it further enacted, that the following conditions shall be completed, bonded or satisfied as specifically required.

1. The phrase “to be eligible for square footage exemption” shall be deleted from note two on page 34 of the SP document.

2. The following note shall be added to the SP document: “Areas designated as “proposed active use conversion zone” shall provide active use and/or window display along at least 40% of the first floor building façade. The building area along this façade within the zone shall be designed and constructed in a manner that will permit future conversion to active use (liner building space) which if converted would maintain a minimum of 40% active use along the facade. The design and construction shall permit for a space of not less than 30 feet in depth and a minimum of 16 feet in height, measured from the first floor to the bottom of the 2nd floor above. Liner building space along Charlotte Avenue shall be exempt from the square footage calculation.”

3. No surface parking, with the exception of on-street parking, shall be permitted within a build-to zone or between any roadway and building, except for temporary surface parking. Temporary surface parking shall not be located within 50 feet of Charlotte Avenue or 28th Avenue. Any temporary parking with more than ten spaces shall meet the “parking area screening and landscaping requirements” specified in the Metro Zoning Code.

4. Signage shall meet standards of the MUG zoning district. A comprehensive sign plan shall be submitted with the first final site plan, and this requirement shall be noted in the SP document.

5. The uses of this SP shall be limited to all uses permitted in MUG expect for those uses specifically excluded by the SP. Residential uses are limited to a total of 300 units.

6. No garage access shall be permitted along Charlotte Avenue or 28th Avenue. Garage access shall be provided from internal dives only.

Section 4. Be it further enacted, that the following traffic conditions shall apply:

1. Phase 1 Traffic Conditions:
a. Road A (Site Access 1) from the 28th Avenue Connector project limits to Road B shall be designed to include two travel lanes in each direction in order to accommodate the traffic that will be generated by the proposed development.

b. The eastbound approach of Road A at the intersection of the 28th Avenue Connector will be designed to include three eastbound approach lanes and shall be striped to include at a minimum one left turn lane and one right turn lane with approximately 200 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards. The design and construction of this approach shall be coordinated with the 28th Avenue Connector project.

c. At the intersection of Road A, the northbound approach of the 28th Avenue Connector shall be modified to include a left turn lane with approximately 225 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards. The design and construction of this approach shall be coordinated with the 28th Avenue Connector project.

d. Road B (Site Access 2) shall be designed at a minimum as a two-lane roadway with one travel lane in each direction.

e. The northbound approach of Road B shall align with 31st Avenue at the intersection of Charlotte Avenue and shall be designed to include one left turn lane with approximately 100 feet of storage, one through lane, and one right turn lane with approximately 170 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.

f. The existing two-way left-turn lane on Charlotte Avenue should be restriped at the intersection of Road B to provide a dedicated westbound left turn lane with approximately 150 feet of storage and 75 feet of open taper.

g. The traffic signal at the intersection of Charlotte Avenue and Road B/31st Avenue shall be modified to accommodate the new approach of Road B. At a minimum the modification will include protected/permissive left turn signal phasing for all approaches, and a right turn overlap for the northbound approach during the protected westbound left turn phase. Crosswalks with pedestrian signal heads and pushbuttons shall be provided across all legs of the intersection.

h. The internal intersection of Road B and Road C shall be controlled by stop signs on the Road C approaches. Left turn lanes with at least 60 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards shall be provided on the northbound and southbound approaches of Road B. The eastbound and westbound approaches of Road C should be designed to have a separate left turn and a shared through right turn lane. These left turn lanes should have at least 60 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.

i. To minimize conflicts for traffic entering the site on Road B from Charlotte Avenue, remove all southbound angled parking on Road B for a minimum distance of 150ft from the intersection of Road B and Charlotte Avenue.

j. The intersection of Charlotte Avenue at 28th Avenue is being redesigned, as part of the 28th Avenue Connector project currently being undertaken by Metro. The redesign of the existing traffic signal shall be coordinated with the 28th Avenue Connector project to minimize any required reconstruction associated with any anticipated future improvements required at this intersection.

k. As described in the traffic impact study, “it is anticipated that the proposed development will be a major attractor for commuters with several thousand new jobs and daily visitors to the proposed medical offices and retail/restaurant space”. Because of this consideration should be given to adding a bus stop for the #10 Charlotte Route within the project site. With the submittal of Final SP plans, the site shall be evaluated to determine where facilities could be provided to accommodate future transit/bus service.

l. A cross access easement shall be provided to the adjacent property to the west. The utilization of this easement will be determined by Metro at the time a redevelopment plan is submitted for the adjacent property to the west.

2. Phase 2/Full Build-out:

a. Focused traffic impact studies shall be required with the submittal of each Phase 2/Full Build-out final SP plan or as determined by the Metro Traffic Engineer. These studies will determine at what point each of the Phase 2 improvements (listed below) are to be constructed and whether additional mitigations are required. The expected improvements include the following:
1. A northbound right turn lane on the 28th Avenue Connector at the intersection of Charlotte Avenue with approximately 225 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.
2. An eastbound right turn lane on Charlotte Avenue at the intersection of the 28th Avenue Connector with approximately 300 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.
3. A westbound right turn lane on Charlotte Avenue at the intersection of the 28th Avenue Connector with approximately 200 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.
4. A modification of the northbound lanes on the 28th Avenue Connector at Charlotte Avenue to provide two left turn lanes, a single through lane, and a right turn lane with appropriate signage as required.
5. A modification to the lanes on the north approach of 28th Avenue at Charlotte Avenue to provide a southbound left turn lane, a southbound through lane, a southbound shared through/right turn lane, and a northbound through lane. The southbound left turn lane will have a minimum storage length of 160 feet and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards. The southbound through/right turn lane on 28th Avenue will extend for a distance of at least 330 feet north of the Charlotte Avenue intersection.
6. Modification to the traffic signal at the intersection of Charlotte Avenue and 28th Avenue to provide protected-only left turn phasing for the recommended dual left turn lanes on the northbound approach of 28th Avenue. Right turn overlap phasing will be provided for the northbound, eastbound, and westbound approaches.
7. An eastbound right turn lane on Charlotte Avenue At the intersection of Road B/31st Avenue with approximately 150 feet of storage and tapers per AASHTO/MUTCD standards.

3. Approved traffic conditions may be modified based on subsequent review and approval of a new Traffic Impact Study by Metro Traffic Engineer and the Planning Commission.”

By deleted the reference to MUG and replacing it with MUI in the original Section 6 now renumbered as Section 8.
