findings in support of this action:
FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
Final Development Plan:
1. The developer intends to obtain permits for construction within 18 months from
the effective date of plan approval.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2013-21
2. The proposed 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 previous
Development Plan approvals for projects involving a historic structure, and is
consistent with the character of the downtown area.
3. The proposed development is consistent with the Danville 2030 General Plan and
the DBD; Downtown Business District Ordinance. The Final Development Plan
approval will ensure the retention and rehabilitation of a historic resource, and
recognizes such resource as an essential part of the Towri s heritage.
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and
general welfare of the Town. The Final Development Plan will result in a
commercial building and residential buildings which will add value to the area
and the Town.
5. The proposed development is consistent with the Town's Historic Preservation
Ordinance (Ord. 32-72) and the Towri s Design Guidelines for Heritage
Resources. The Final 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 zoned DBD Area 4 - Old Town
Retail, the zoning district in which the subject property is located, or inconsistent
with the limitations of other DBD properties that contain historic structures.
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 additional floor area will allow for the reasonable development of the
property incorporating the requirement to preserve and restore a
historically significant building. The massing and scale of the
PAGE 3 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2013-21
development is consistent with the massing and scale of other projects in
the downtown where a historic structure was incorporated into the
redevelopment of a property. The authorized development standards for
the site are consistent with the Town's vision for the development of the
area.
3. This variance is in substantial conformance with the intent and purpose of DBD
Area 4 - Residential Serving Commercial, the zoning district in which the subject
property is located. The new building will be constructed adjacent to the historic
building, consistent with the existing development patterns within the
downtown area.
Front and Side Yard Setback
1. These variances do not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
the limitations on other properties in the area and within DBD; Downtown
Business District Area 4 - Residential Serving Commercial, the zoning district in
which the subject property is located. The setbacks are consistent with the
setbacks approved as part of other development in the downtown area which
involve historic resources.
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 reduced setbacks will allow for the reasonable development of the
property incorporating the requirement to preserve and restore a
historically significant building. The reduced setbacks will result in a
building massing and scale which is consistent with the massing and scale
of other projects in the downtown where a historic structure was
incorporated into the redevelopment of a property. The authorized
development standards are consistent with the Town's vision for the
development of the area.
3. This variance is in substantial conformance with the intent and purpose of DBD;
Area 4 - Residential Serving Commercial, the zoning district 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.
PAGE 4 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2013-21
Parkin
1. This variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties in the area and within DBD; Downtown Business
District Area 4 - Residential Serving Commercial District, the zoning district in
which the subject property is located. The onsite parking to be provided with the
project is consistent with the parking supply approved for other development
projects in the downtown area which involve historic resources, most of which
make provision for no on -site parking.
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 which is required
to be preserved and restored, while other properties in DBD Area 4 are
able to demolish existing structures on the site, providing for design
flexibility and a greater ability to provide required on -site parking.
b. Due to the size and configuration of the site, additional on -site parking
cannot be provided in a manner that will allow for the development of the
site consistent with the Towri s desired development character for the
area, which is similar to the core downtown area.
Certificate of Approval:
1. The proposed alteration of the historic structure will not adversely affect the
historically significant exterior architectural features of the structure 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 Heritage Resource Commission 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.
