RESOLVED that the Danville Planning Commission recommends the Danville
Heritage Resource Commission approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Significance and approve Development Plan request DEV08-0062 and
Variance request V AR08-0018 and makes the following findings in support of this
action:
FINDINGS:
Development Plan:
1. The owner/applicant intends to obtain permits for construction within 18
months from the effective date of plan approval.
2. The development will be an attractive and efficient development which will fit
harmoniously into and will have no adverse effects upon the adjacent or
surrounding development. The project is consistent with the previous
Downtown Business District Area 11 zoning standards for the site, consistent
with previous Development Plan approvals for projects involving an historic
structure, and is consistent with the Town's vision for the redevelopment of the
area and the creation of pedestrian oriented character similar to the core
downtown area.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Danville 2010 General Plan and the
Downtown Business District Ordinance. The Development Plan ensures the
rehabilitation of a historic resource, and recognizes such resource as an essential
part of the Town's heritage.
4. The proposal will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of
the Town. The Development Plan will result in a civic building designed to
accommodate the needs of the planned users of the facility.
5. The proposal is consistent with the Town's Historic Preservation Ordinance 32-
72 and the Town's Design Guidelines for Heritage Resources. The Development
Plan observes the recommended approaches for additions and new construction
on historic sites and was evaluated by an historic architect.
Variances:
Floor Area Ratio
1. This variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties in the area and Downtown Business District Area
4: Old Town Retail in which the subject property is located and on other
properties in the downtown business district area that contain historic structures
(generally DBD Area 1 properties).
2. Because of the following special circumstances applicable to this specific
property, strict application of the zoning regulations would deprive the subject
property of rights enjoyed by others in the general vicinity and/ or located in the
same zoning district:
a. The property contains a building of historic significance and is eligible to
receive consideration of flexible development standards, including floor
area ratio. Downtown Business District Area 4: Old Town Retail allows a
maximum floor area ratio of 50%. The proposed floor area ratio is 80%.
The additional floor area will allow for the reasonable development of the
property without the destruction of a historically significant building. The
mass and scale of the development is consistent with the previous DBD
Area 11 development standards for the site and consistent with the
Town's vision for the development of the area.
b. The proposed floor area ratio variance is not a grant of special privilege as
other historic properties in the downtown area have been granted floor
area ratio variances allowing for the reasonable development of the
PAGE 3 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07
property while preserving and rehabilitating the historic structure on the
site.
3. This variance is in substantial conformance with the intent and purpose of the
Downtown Business District Area 4: Residential Serving Commercial in which
the subject property is located. The new building will be constructed behind the
historic building at the front of the site, consistent with the historic development
patterns of the Downtown.
Front Yard Setback
1. This variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties in the area and Downtown Business District Area
4: Residential Serving Commercial District in which the subject property is
located.
2. Because of the following special circumstances applicable to this specific
property, strict application of the zoning regulations would deprive the subject
property of rights enjoyed by others in the general vicinity and/ or located in the
same zoning district:
a. This variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties in the area and the Downtown
Business District Area 4: Residential Serving Commercial, as the proposed
setbacks, which are consistent with the previous DBD Area 11 zoning
standards for the site, are necessary to allow for the reasonable
development of the property and to allow for the rehabilitation and
preservation of the historic structure on the site. The front yard setback is
also warranted given the excess public right-of way in the front of the
building and the Town's desire to bring the building closer to the street to
create a more pedestrian oriented character for the area.
3. This variance is in substantial conformance with the intent and purpose of the
Downtown Business District Area 4; Residential Serving Commercial, in which
the subject property is located since the variance will allow for the
redevelopment of the site and the preservation and rehabilitation of a historic
structure on the site and will be consistent with the desired character for the area.
PAGE 4 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07
Certificate of Approval:
1. The proposed alteration will not adversely affect the historically significant
exterior architectural features of the existing building or the special character,
interest or value of its neighboring improvements and surroundings, including
facade, window and door design, roof shapes, scale, height and relationship of
material, color and texture.
2. The reviewing body relied upon the most current version of the Secretary of the
Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic
Buildings," the State Historic Building Code and the Town of Danville's Design
Guidelines for Heritage Resources.

method through the project to an approved storm drainage facility, as
determined by the City Engineer. Development which proposes to

Russ property will be directed to an appropriate conveyance system in the
public right-of-way.
