The first phase will position the Town to embark upon a Transfer of Development Square Footage Growth Management strategy (as described in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan) and will ensure that Chapter 102 of the Westlake Code of Ordinances is consistent with the future Land Use element of the Forging Westlake Comprehensive Plan Update. Therefore, Part One is the Scope of this Contract. Other Phases are presented herein for full disclosure to the Town regarding additional contract elements necessary to attain a Unified Development Code, Special Ordinance Elements, and Adoption of the Code Revisions. These elements will be authorized by subsequent contract as the Town determines such additional scope elements to be timely. Part One: High Priority Ordinance Initiatives. Part one of this proposal focuses on the most urgent ordinance initiatives and comprises the full work scope authorized under this contract. These include formulation of the Transfer of Development Square Footage (TDSF) mechanism, needed to manage pending development growth within limits established by the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, and revisions to Chapter 102 of the existing Code of Ordinances, needed to implement certain comprehensive policies. 1.1 Formulating the Transfer of Development Square Footage (TDSF) Mechanism: Due to the level of future traffic saturation (as a result of current entitlements) the Comprehensive Plan recommends attaining increased non-residential density in the future by moving non-residential square footage from areas where build -out will likely be (or should be) less than the FAR permitted by current PD Ordinances (called Sending Areas) to areas where market responsive build -out would likely exceed the FAR permitted by current PD Ordinances (called Receiving Areas). This Task sets out the work required to formulate a Transfer of Development square Footage Mechanism. 1.1.1 Comparable Ordinance Research and determination of Ordinance Structure most appropriate for Westlake: It is in the interest of the Town to formulate a TDSF ordinance that is built from existing ordinances which have proven effective. Therefore, the Ordinance Team will review comparable ordinances and summarize their applicability to Westlake. The TDSF Ordinance for Westlake will be built from the basic features of one or more of these documents. 1.1.2 Creation of a TDSF Zoning Suffix and increases/decreases to commercial square footage through TDSF without re -zoning: Establishing procedures and Page 11 of 17 Resolution 15-14 Agreement Between: Owner and Architect Page 12 of 17 Document No. OAB101 (modified) classification for establishment of "Planned Development" as the primary zoning classification in Westlake, thereby setting up transition from the existing Euclidean entitlements to a Planned Development designation in which relations to the TDSF process are recognized. 1.1.3 Establishing the sending and receiving thresholds and clarifying links to the Comp Plan documents and how such documents are to be used: Establishing the relationship of the sending and receiving areas and/ or the sending/ receiving areas (as established by the 2015 Westlake Comprehensive Plan) to the evaluation and review procedures of the TDSF. Here, thresholds of maximum and minimum transfer will be established and the extent to which a potential Sending Area or Receiving Area status is effected by execution of TDSF within it. 1.1.4 Clarifying execution of incentive exchange rate: The primary intent of the TDSF is to promote and incentivize private implementation of public development goals as stated in the 2015 Westlake Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the extent to which incentives effect the rate of exchange applied to any TDSF and the procedures by which incentives are determined as appropriate/ merited as well as approved, will be established. 1.1.5 Clarifying the replacement of residential use for relocated commercial square footage in certain circumstances: The TDSF program has particular relevance to implementation of the Housing Plan element of the 2015 Westlake Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, particular attention will be paid to the means by which exported commercial square footage can and should be replaced by residential units and the target densities that are possible with such a conversion. Also, the process by which conversion proposals are evaluated and approved will be identified. 1.1.6 Establishing process of monitoring and tracking density increases and decreases: It is important that the TDSF program be accompanied by a clear monitoring and tracking system and that any increases in density over the density established by planned development ordinances is documented for permitting purposes. Therefore, such monitoring and tracking systems will be developed. 1.1.7 Establishing standards for documentation and submittal: It is essential to maintenance of a defensible and fair execution of the TDSF program that the materials reviewed by staff and the approving bodies be standardized. Therefore, submittal requirements will be developed as determined necessary. 1.1.8 Establishing the process for Certificate of Appropriateness: The TDSF program will likely be accomplished through a zoning suffix designation (which will identify sending and/ or receiving areas). Under the suffix designation, import or export Page 12 of 17 Resolution 15-14 Agreement Between: Owner and Architect Page 13 of 17 Document No. 0AB101 (modified) of commercial square footage will require a Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) before any building permit can be issued. Therefore, the process for application, review and consideration of a CA will be established. 1.1.9 Working with major property owners: Presentations to assembled property owners will be made at 2 points in the work process (to be determined in conjunction with Town Staff) for the purpose of receiving property owner comment and input. 1.1.10 Working with the Town Attorney and Town Staff. Consultation with, and review by, the Town attorney is essential. Therefore, the Ordinance Team will coordinate such review with the Town Attorney (working under existing contract with Westlake) as well as review and discussions with the Town Staff. See meetings below. 1.2 Integrating the TDSF Mechanism into the existing Chapter 102 of the Code of Ordinances: Once the TDSF Mechanism is formulated it must be reconciled with Chapter 102 and where it is combined with other applicable recommendations/ policies of the Forging Westlake 2015 Comprehensive Plan. 1.2.1 Inclusion and reference in Chapter 102: The current zoning chapter will be revised in order to facilitate implementation of the Growth Management Policies established in the Forging Westlake, 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update. The revisions will consider the Town's condition of being 100% zoned and more than 75% of that zoning is Planned Development. Therefore, the intent of this revision to support the Transfer of Development Square Footage Growth Management Strategy which seeks to allow redistribution of entitlement(in lieu of rezoning) and maintenance of a general overall vehicular trip generation so that future Levels of Service (on roadways and at intersections) can be maintained at levels acceptable to the Town. Therefore, revision of the Zoning Chapter will preserve existing land use tables and categorical standards but will investigate transition of all non-residential categorical zoning to a PD (such as the office component of the Margaret Lee Property) in an effort to maintain a uniform baseline upon which the Development Square Footage Transfer Mechanism can work. The revision of the Zoning Chapter will seek to make any future rezoning of categorical zoned non-residential land a Planned Development only and minimum content for such Planned Development will be established as well as the relationship between content of any future Planned Development and the Character Districts/ Land Use Plan established by the Comprehensive Plan. All revisions of the Zoning Chapter will be for the purpose of pointing to and supporting the Transfer of Development Square Footage Ordinance. 1.2.2 Inclusion and reference in other chapters: Just as Chapter 102 will need to be amended, other references to current zoning and/ or zoning procedures that conflict with Page 13 of 17 Resolution 15-14 Agreement Between: Owner and Architect Page 14 of 17 Document No. OAB 101 (modified) or inhibit implementation/ execution of the TDSF as described above will be reconciled with the redefinition of zoning for Westlake and the use of TDSF as the primary mechanism for density increases in the future. 1.1 and 1.2 Deliverables: The following is a summary of the deliverables that will be provided to the Town through the course of Tasks 1.2 and 1.3: • Creation of a TDSF Ordinance: An ordinance to be set into its own Chapter or Article or Division (as determined by the Ordinance Team). This ordinance instrument will be reviewed by the Town Attorney and Town Staff and appropriate revisions made by the Ordinance Team. • Amendments to Chapter 102: Amendments as required to integrate the TDSF mechanism and integrate the applicable growth management policies of the Forging Westlake 2015 Comprehensive Plan. Part One Meeting Sessions: There are a total of three meeting sessions and a joint work session anticipated for Tasks 1.1 and 1.2. Each session will include at a minimum one meeting with the Project Coordination Team. At least one of these meetings will include Westlake Commercial Property owners most affected by the TDSF Ordinance. Other meetings will be with the Town Staff and Town Attorney as key questions of increasing development square footage without rezoning are addressed. A summary of the content of each has been included below. • Session #1: Town Attorney and Town Staff to discuss the intent and the purposes of the TDSF initiative and identify the key issues of application. • Session #2: Town Attorney and Town Staff to review preliminary design of the TDSF process and administration. • Session #3: Major Commercial Property owners to review the preliminary TDSF mechanism and provide input. • Presentation: Presentation to a joint work session of the Town Planning Commission and Town Council. NOTE: Parts Two and Three (as generally described below) will be initiated by a separate contract between MESA Planning and the Town of Westlake. Part Two: Reorganization and Formulation of a Unified Development Code: It is desirable for a Town faced with the high level of development now pending to establish a unified development code where all regulations regarding development can be placed for uniform application and management. 2.1 Redistribution: The Ordinance Team will reorganize the Chapters, Articles, Sections, and/or Divisions of the existing Westlake Code of ordinances (as well as the currently adopted Page 14 of 17 Resolution 15-14 Agreement Between: Owner and Architect Page 15 of 17 Document No. OAB101 (modified) planned Development Ordinances) into a three volume framework. This portion of the work scope does not include new content, only reorganization according to the Code three volume structure as follows: • The General Ordinances: These will be various ordinances containing regulations/ standards/ guidelines not related to land or building development. This includes such Chapters as "Taxation" and "Traffic and Vehicles" as well as various Sections within Chapters (such as Sections within Chapter 14: Animals). This will include the general powers of boards and commissions as well as standard procedures except zoning, platting, and permitting. • The Unified Development Code: All Chapters and/ or Articles/ Sections/ Divisions within other chapters that present a regulation, process, standard, and/or guideline affecting land or building development will be gathered into the Unified Development Code Volume, where possible. Those Articles/Sections/ Divisions not able to be so relocated shall be referenced. The intent of reorganization and referencing as described above) is to deposit all regulation/processes/standards/ guidelines related to land or building development in one central subdivision of the Westlake Code of Ordinances. Currently, the "Unified Development Code" is a sub -section of the Community Development Chapter and does not address development standards or provisions. Part of the reorganization will be to remove Ch 26 Article II Unified Development Code from the general code of ordinances and restore it to its original form. It will be a separate volume that houses the standards and provisions used to regulate development in the Town of Westlake, including building, zoning and subdivision regulation and/or reference to other codes and/or reference to guidelines (where deemed appropriate). P The Planned Development Ordinances: All currently approved Planned Development ordinances and current exhibits associated with those ordinances will be organized into a Planned Development Volume. This volume will also contain the various tabulations of the Planned Development content, identifying which Chapters, Sections, and/ or Divisions of the Unified Development Code are amended by them. Task 2.2: Reference to, coordination with, and integration of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update. Amendment to the Reorganized Westlake Code of Ordinances (Part One, above) will be made in order to replace references to plan documents, policies, and/ or maps that are now replaced upon adoption of the Forging Westlake, 2015 Comprehensive plan Update. In addition, places within the reorganized code will be created as necessary to reference and integrate the Policies section o that Plan. Finally, additional development review processes will be created where necessary to accomplish the intent of the plan, implement Transfer of Development Square Footage as envisioned by the plan and the Development Review Checklist as presented in the Plan. Task 2.3: Coordination with Engineer providing updated reference to Codes and Standards. Page 15 of 17 Resolution 15-14 Agreement Between: Owner and Architect Page 16 of 17 Document No. OAB101 (modified) The Ordinance Team will work with the Town's engineering consultant, charged with updating references to various studies, codes, plans, guidelines, and standards within the Westlake Code of Ordinances. The Ordinance Team will identify where existing references that need to be considered as well as identify places (within the Code) where new references need to be provides or new standards/guidelines need to be formulated. Part Three: Other Ordinances 3.1 Building Quality Ordinance: Establish a regulatory element within the reorganized Code of Ordinances which speaks to residential building quality. Materials, workmanship, typical construction assemblies, and discipline of design will be addressed through standards, criteria and procedures. The purpose of this element is to assure that future residential construction in Westlake will compliment and support the quality of design and value now present within the Town. 3.2 Revised Sign Ordinance: Using the Character Districts set forth in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update, the Planning Team will create a revised Sign Ordinance that establishes Sign Districts and sets standards for sign types by district. In this revised ordinance, signs within the Regional Commercial Sign District would be subject to different standards than signs within the Community Commercial Sign District. Part Four: Review and Adoption 4.1 Legal Review: The Ordinance Team will work closely with the Town Attorney who will provide on-going legal review and comment. 4.2 Staff Review: The Ordinance Team will work closely with the Town Staff who will provide on-going legal review and comment. 4.3 Codification: The Ordinance Team will work with Muni -Code and the Town to facilitate final codification. 4.4 Adoption: The Ordinance Team will make presentations as to Commission and Council through the process of considering these ordinances and ordinance revisions.
