John Gardocki, MORPC, was also present. Ms. Sharp stated that she would be providing an update of LinkUS and Mr. Goodwin would be providing an update of the Northwest Corridor Bus Rapid Transit System. She stated that on March 22nd, a meeting will be held to gain input from the public regarding the information being shared with Council at this meeting. She expressed appreciation for Dublin's partnership in helping them understand Dublin needs and engaging the public and other stakeholders. LinkUS is a multimodal plan to move our region forward together. She reviewed the work that began with MORPC's Insight 2050 Report which showed we would be a region of 3 million people by 2050. Insight 2050 showed how compact development, improved walkability, bikeability and transit could help us meet those growth needs in an affordable way and maintain our great quality of life. COTA's NextGen worked with residents throughout COTA's service area to get their input on rapid transit corridors and other services. Corridor Concepts in 2019 provided another look at premium rapid transit corridors and other ways to make more walkable, bikeable communities. A big focus was getting workforce to jobs. This great work set the stage for LinkUs. Dublin has been a key participant and funding partner in building this regional vision to improve mobility and quality of life. Through LinkUs, our region can address our most important current and future challenges. It is focused on: RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council GOVERNMENT FORMS 8 SUPPLIES 844-224-3338 FORM NO. 10148 ri Held Equity, Workforce Advancement, , 2022 age2of9 20 Meeting • Innovation, • Affordability, • Economic Development, and • Sustainability. Ms. Sharp shared that our peers are reacting to a wave of growth pressures that Central Ohio is now also experiencing. Our region is being proactive by planning and potentially leveraging historical federal funds available now to serve future growth. In Dublin, the expected outcomes would include more mobility infrastructure investments like COTA Plus, expanding the Emerald Trail, and Dublin's more than 130 miles of shared use paths. There is also potential for a bus rapid transit alignment, bringing workers from Downtown Columbus to Dublin. Mr. Goodwin stated that the City of Columbus is working collaboratively with COTA, the City of Dublin and other jurisdictions to develop bus rapid transit from Downtown Columbus to the Dublin area. He provided an illustration of the potential Northwest alignment options. He noted that the information he is sharing with Council will also be shared at the public meeting on March 22nd. He shared the anticipated schedule noting that a typical Federal Transit Administration project is usually a 6 -year project. He provided information regarding the LinkUS website (www.linkUScolumbus.com) and noted the various social media accounts available to find information. Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that these corridors will pass through different municipalities and asked how the different municipalities were being engaged regarding design, etc. Ms. Sharp stated that the LinkUS project is currently in a regional engagement process (26 cities and 11 townships) to gain understanding of what the project is, what the potential impacts are and gauging each entity's interest in mobility. Mr. Goodwin stated that as these corridors touch other jurisdictions, there will be a strong collaboration with Columbus and each jurisdiction that has regulatory authority over their right-of-ways. It will all be part of the process. Ms. Amorose Groomes thanked them for including Dublin in the study. She also appreciates the collaborative efforts and noted that any rapid transit station in Dublin would be designed with Dublin standards in mind. She stated that she feels the proper terminus location is the OU campus. She shared that there was conversation in a recent railway meeting she attended about ensuring that these LinkUS terminus areas were where the rail stops would be. Mayor Fox stated that working with MORPC will help ensure that we are looking at mobility regionally. CITIZEN COMMENTS Matthew C. Wickline, 7463 Dublin Road, stated that he is having stormwater issues on his property for which he feels the City is responsible. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the help he has received.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Held March 7, 2022 POSTPONED ITEM Ordinance 02-22 Page 3 ofi 9 — 20 Meeting Rezoning the Shoppes at River Ridge including two parcels (PIDs 273- 008269 and 273-012909) from BSD -C, Bridge Street District - Commercial District, to BSD -SRN, Bridge Street District - Scioto River Neighborhood District; and Zoning one parcel (PID 273-012910), formerly right-of-way, BSD -SRN, Bridge Street District - Scioto River Neighborhood District, totaling 14.02 acres located southeast of the Riverside Drive and S.R. 161 roundabout (Case 21-1892) Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Rauch stated that Ordinance 02-22 is a request for review and approval of a standard district rezoning of three parcels within the Bridge Street District in accordance with the recommendations of the Community Plan. This Rezoning is not being requested in conjunction with a development project. In April 2012, Ordinance 08-12 rezoned 388 parcels, including the subject parcels, establishing the Bridge Street District (BSD), with 10 different zoning districts. The Shoppes at River Ridge were rezoned to BSD -Commercial. In 2014, the City initiated the opportunity to create a BSD -Scioto River Neighborhood Zoning District (Ordinance 76-14). In January, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request to rezone these parcels from BSD -Commerical to BSD -Scioto River Neighborhood and recommended approval of this rezoning (Ordinance 02-22) to City Council. This rezoning is considstent with the Community Plan. The BSD -Commercial zoning intent is to allow for the continuation of pre-existing uses while providing for rezoning as uses are discontinued. The uses are residential, office, retail and restaurant uses. The building types are mixed-use, commercial center, large format commercial and parking structure. It allows for a building height of up to five stories. The proposed rezoning would allow opportunity for a well-planned neighborhood with a balanced mix of land uses. The uses would still be residential, office retail and restaurant uses but geared more toward townhomes, live -work dwellings, hospital, park & ride, conference center, etc. The building types would allow for additional building types. The building height would be up to six stories. Regarding the Community Plan, this rezoning would fit the future land use — mixed use urban core standard in the plan. Staff has reviewed the criteria for the rezoning and the criteria is met. Staff recommended approval. Scott Herring, 3280 Lily Mar Court, stated that this is the closest project to his residence since he has live in Dublin (20+ years). He is concerned that there is no project associated with this rezoning. He stated that the project should be examined to ensure that it is appropriate for the area. If there is no project to consider; that is concerning to him. He asked Council to proceed with caution. It seems strange. He is concerned about a project up to six stories. Ms. Kramb clarified some of the specifics of the current zoning versus the proposed zoning for Mr. Herring. This proposed rezoning would allow a six -story building. She expressed her concern about the residents on Martin Place and Lily Mar Court not receiving notification of the rezoning when it is in such close proximity to their homes. She also expressed concern regarding the elevation of this site and what a six -story building would look like with that elevation. She is against allowing six stories in this area. It is not appropriate for this area. It should be more of a transition. Ms. Groomes stated that it is a challenge to do a rezoning without considering a potential project. There may be areas on this parcel where six stories are appropriate, and there are some areas on this parcel where it is not appropriate. She suggested that it is important to maintain a very clear record for the individual/entity that is requesting the rezoning of what the expectations are. All the areas are not treated equal. She agreed with Ms. Kramb that there are many places on this parcel where six stories is not appropriate. Ms. Rauch stated that the applicant, Don Brogan, Crawford Hoying, is present. She also stated that notice was provided to property owners within 300 feet of the RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meetin -TUTW- ldtarch 7, 2022 Held 20 boundary of this site. She also clarified that the building height is the maximum that is permitted. It still depends on the development and would go through the development process. There will be many opportunities through the public review process for any project to be throroughly vetted. Vice Mayor De Rosa sought clarification regarding there being an applicant but no project to review. Ms. Rauch stated that Crawford Hoying made the request for the rezoning, so they are the applicant. Vice Mayor De Rosa asked about the definition of the building types: corridor and podium apartment. Ms. Rauch stated that she can provide additional detail at the second reading, but did note that within Bridge Street there are a variety of building types and depending on their location and the uses that will be located within there, a particular building type would be selected. She stated she would bring more detail back on those. Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that mixed heights make sense, but there needs to be a mix and a balance with consideration of what it backs up to. Ms. Alutto stated that saying these things out loud helps to ensure that the conversation is heard and known so when a project comes forward, we can reference the conversation and thoughts of Council. Mayor Fox stated that within the Bridge Street Code there are protections when building adjacent to residential, does that apply here? Ms. Rauch stated that she would double check to confirm. The development pattern that the code outlines and the building types dictate how the site is developed. Mayor Fox stated that she appreciates the conversation to make sure we protect the residents. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that this area had the designated zoning district it had for preservation of the existing conditions to allow them to continue to operate and do minor modifications to their business and the second was that when a redevelopment came, they would have to apply for a rezoning so it would trigger a more robust community conversation due to the residential impact. The difficulty is doing a rezoning without the project. The intent was the rezoning and the project would come together. Don Brogan, Crawford Hoying, stated that projects have been discussed, but there are other partners that they develop with, so this rezoning was an insurance to any investors that the rezoning could be secured. The goal is to bring the Bridge Park development to the other side of SR 161 and bring connectivity and pedestrian connectivity to this side of SR 161. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated th at she understood, but she wanted him to hear from Council that they need any development to be sensitive to the residential areas around it. Mr. Brogan stated that he is very aware of the public process and is understanding of Council's concerns. The second reading/public hearing of Ordinance 02-22 is scheduled for the March 21, 2022 meeting.

Staff provided background and details of the draft revisions to the Code, which were based on several collaborative meetings with commercial real estate representatives. Staff outlined the goal of the amendments were to balance Council's concerns about temporary sign aesthetics, clutter and longevity with real estate representative's need to identify and market non-residential properties. The proposed amendments provided for increased quality in sign design and appearance with a uniform sign design while maintaining size and height limitations and allowing for additional duration. The Committee was supportive of the proposed revisions, which included: • One sign per parcel with an additional sign for parcels with freeway frontage to allow for additional visibility. • Similar sign sizes and heights were recommended compared to the approved regulations. • Require a uniform sign design with green background with white lettering. Sample designs were shared with the Committee. The Committee discussed the duration limitation with the commercial real estate representatives and recommended a sign duration of one year with the option for an annual renewal. The Committee found that the duration would be offset by the enforcement of a high quality, uniform sign design. Based on the Committee's feedback, Staff will introduce a draft Ordinance for Council's consideration at the March 211 meeting.
