McDaniel, City Manager Date: April 7, 2020 Initiated By: Jennifer M. Rauch, AICP, Planning Director Claudia D. Husak, AICP, Senior Planner/Current Planning Manager Memo Re: Res. 23-20 - Approving and accepting the plat for The Corners subdivision Summary This is a request for acceptance of a Final Plat to subdivide ±24 acres into three lots for the future development of office and commercial space and a public park. Process As provided by the Law Director's Office, when City Council approves Preliminary and Final Plats, the platting process is solely for the subdivision of the properties to identify property lines, establish easements, provide open space dedication, and create public rights-of-way. The site layout, architectural character, and open space designs for the development were previously approved by the required reviewing bodies. Staff has been made aware that Franklin County changed submission requirements for plats to require "specific legislative reference" by the municipality. This requirement came about due to problems with documenting transfers when the plats were not approved with a legislative number. While Dublin has approved plats via motion as far back as the 1980s, this new requirement will change the acceptance of plats moving forward and will be implemented city- wide, regardless of County. Background Ordinance 70-19 was approved at the December 2, 2019 City Council meeting, which included the preliminary development plan and preliminary plat for The Corners development, which will accommodate up to 70,000 square feet of commercial development. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to City Council of the final plat for The Corners on March 5, 2020 to allow the City of Dublin to convey the necessary parcels to the developer in accordance with the development agreement. The Planning and Zoning Commission will be the final reviewing body for any future development applications. Memo — Final Plat — The Corners April 7, 2020 Page 2 of 2 Description The Corners development will include Lots 2 and 3, zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District. Lot 2 is 3.8 acres and includes the existing retention basins installed with the parking lot for the office building. Walking paths connecting this lot to Lot 3 are shown on existing conditions sheet. No right-of-way dedication is required as part of this proposal. Lot 3 is 9.67 acres and will accommodate the new "Corners" development that will be reviewed for a final development plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Proposed and existing utilities are shown on the final plat as is a storm sewer easement connecting from the retention basins to an existing catch basin along Frantz Road. In addition, an easement for a retention basin is shown on the plat, in the southeast corner of the site. This basin was removed when the City installed the parking lot and stormwater retention for the office building to the west. However, the easement was never removed. The City will have to coordinate to have the easement vacated prior to allowing buildings in that portion of the site. Research has shown that three different entities are part of the easement and staff has reached out to collaborate on the easement vacation. Lot 1 will retain the existing zoning of OLR, Office, Laboratory and Research District and is 10.23 acres in size. The western boundary of this lot follows the existing property line. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission The Commission reviewed and recommended acceptance to City Council of the final plat at the March 5, 2020 meeting with two conditions: 1) The applicant ensures that any minor technical adjustments to the plat are made prior to City Council submittal, and; 2) That the City coordinate the vacation of the retention easement in the southeast portion of the site. Staff will continue to work with the entities that are part of the retention easement to vacate the easement to allow construction to occur. Condition 1 has been met. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 23-20 for the Final Plat for The Corners at the April 13, 2020 City Council meeting.

A recommendation from the joint meeting discussion was that a tour of certain Dublin development sites be scheduled to improve members' awareness. An email was sent to Commission members inquiring what sites the members would like included in the tour. To date, only one response has been received. Remaining members are encouraged to offer their suggestions, as well. Tour plans can be discussed at the April 2, 2020 meeting, at which attendance of all Commission members is anticipated. Ms. Call noted that information helpful to have beforehand would be identification of which of the tour sites are examples of development that, in retrospect, Council would either encourage or discourage. Mr. Grimes stated that it would be helpful to have any history or future direction anticipated for the sites. Ms. Call suggested that staff also point out any projects that resulted in future burden for the City. Commission members expressed a preference for a Friday afternoon tour date, more than one date, if needed. Opportunities for self -guided tours could be beneficial to some members. • Commission members are asked to provide updated personal contact information to staff to ensure more timely exchange of information. • Commission members expressed consensus for scheduling a future PZC meeting at 6:00 p.m. to permit a Dublin City Schools representative to address potential impact of new zoning and development on School District planning efforts. • The Central Ohio Planning and Zoning workshop is scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2020, 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. Commission members are encouraged to contact staff if they would like to attend.

No right-of-way dedication is required as part of this proposal. Lot 2 is part of the Corners PUD and will be subject of a final development plan review by the Commission in the near future. Lot 3 is 9.6 acres and will accommodate the new "Corners" development that will be reviewed separately from this plat in the future for final site details as part of a final development plan application. The Commission is the required reviewing body for that application. Lot 3 is zoned PUD. 3. Final Plat The purpose of a final plat is to assure conformance with the requirements set forth in the Subdivision Regulations, exclusive of other standards in the Code. z THE CORNERS i II h 4. Criteria Analysis The Code does not contain specific criteria to guide the review of plats. Planning bases the evaluation on the conformance of the plat with the requirements set forth in Chapter 152, the Subdivision Regulations of the Code: 1) Plat Information and Construction Requirements Criteria Met. The proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. The applicant will be required to make any minor technical adjustments prior to Council review. City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission Case 02-028FP —The Corners PUD — Final Plat Thursday, March 5, 2020 1 Page 5 of 5 2) Lots, Street, Sidewalk, and Bikepath Standards Criteria Met. The modification does not affect the street, sidewalk, or bikepath standards for the subdivision. 3) Utilities Criteria Met with Condition. Proposed and existing utilities are shown on the final plat as is a storm sewer easement connecting from the retention basins to an existing catch basin along Frantz Road. In addition, an easement for a retention basin is shown on the plat, in the southeast corner of the site. This pond was removed when the City installed the parking lot and stormwater retention for the office building to the west. However, the easement was never removed. The City will have to coordinate to have the easement vacated prior to allowing buildings in that portion of the site. 4) Open Space Requirements Criteria Met. Open space dedication is not required with this final plat. However, Lot 2 is proposed to be used for a public park of which the City will retain ownership. 5. Recom... ...atio.. Planning Staff have determined that the application complies with all applicable review consideration and the intended development character of the area. Staff is recommending approval with two conditions: 1) The applicant ensures that any minor technical adjustments to the plat are made prior to City Council submittal, and; 2) That the City coordinate the vacation of the retention easement in the southeast portion of the site.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of BARRETT BROTHERS • DAYTON, OHIO Held Dublin City Council Decem ber 2, 2019 Meeting Form 6101 Page 17 of 25 The Resolution is for the acceptance of the proposed preliminary plat, which typically accompanies legislation for a PUD rezoning. The applicant is proposing, together with the City, to subdivide the land into three logs — the existing parking lot that the City will retain ownership of, the park in the center thEit the City will retain ownership of, and the remaining lot is the parcel to be developed by Daimler in the future. The rezoning and the preliminary plat were recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September :19. Staff recommends approval of the two items as well. Ms. Fox asked about scale and massing in the development text for the two-story office buildings that serve as a transition. The language states it may be monolithic in scale and massing. That seems somewhat narrow. Are the buildings being limited to being monolithic, or is there flexibility? Ms. Husak responded that the PZC would have flexibility to determine appropriateness, given the language "may" be monolithic. Vice Mayor Amorose Groomes noted thGit the discussion at Council focused on complementary architecture. Was that captured in the text? Ms. Fox responded that has been included. She just wanted clarification about the monolithic aspect.

Fie would welcome any feedback and thanked staff and Daimler for putting this informative presentative together. Ms. Husak stated that Planning is preparing to bring forward a rezoning for 13.5 acres on the west side of Frantz road north of Rings Road. The area is part of the Dublin Corporate Area Plan (DCAP), which serves to repo:3ition the Legacy office parks with a goal to create a walkable, mixed-use environment with amenities. The site is shown in the Community Plan Special DCAP Area Plan as MUR, Sub -District 2 (North of Rings), which recommends corporate office uses with supporting retail services in the interior of the sub -district, and a limited amount of multi -story residential (density not to exceed 30 du/ac) as a secondary use to office. Similar to the OSU project, the Zoning Code has not yet been updated to reflect this District sand the site retains the current zoning of OLR, Office, Laboratory and Research District. All the proposed uses included in this Concept Plan are permitted within the ID -1 District. Due to the timing of this proposal, the applicant and staff have agreed that a rezoning to a Planned Unit Development District (PUD) is the appropriate mechanism to ensure that the needs of the facility can be met. About 70,000 square feet of space in phases will be developed. There are four -subareas proposed: • Subarea A includes the existing storm water management areas as well as a park in the center of the site; and • Subarea B. 1311 132 and 133 are the areas along Frantz that are commercial. Ms. Husak shared some reference images of the proposed architectural character that could be considered in this development:. Ms. Goss provided more detail on each subarea. • Subarea A is about 4 acres of park and open space areas. The City will retain ownership of the park and be responsible for its maintenance. • Subarea 131 runs parallel to Frantz Road and is about 6.5 acres. Staff estimates that there will be 47,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. • Subarea 132 and 133 are dedicated office space at approximately 1.5 acres and 1.7 acres respectively. Ms. Goss stated that this total development will be $15.4 million in improvements to the site. The total cost to the City for the park and all required improvements is $3,365,000. She stated the expectation is that Daimler will begin building infrastructure on the site (Subarea 131) in the year 2020 with approximately $3 million in improvements in 2021, $4 million in improvements in 2022, and $3.4 million in improvements in 2023, totaling $10.4 million minimum project value. The City will be receiving property tax on the full valuation of the improvements beginning in 2024. Staff has taken a conservative approach when calculating the TIF, figuring in the $10.4 million minimum project value only. The City would transfer ownership of subareas 131, 132 and 133, as proposed in the development agreement to Daimler Group upon Council approval of the final development plan and all related agreements. Mr. S•tiffler reiterated the City's costs relating to the park. The City intends to use $1.6 millioin in cash in the Rings/Frantz TIF to pay the monthly construction draws. The developer will provide up -front funding for the additional $1.75 million needed. The City will make reimbursement to the developer in the amount of $230,000 per year for ten years. These payments are expected to be made using funds from the Rings/Frantz TIF RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Held. Dublin City Council Meeting Form 6101 NoVEImber 4, 2019 Page 10 of 13 and the new TIF for the site. This project does not impact the 2020-2024 CIP as TIF dollars are being used that are not allocated for any other purpose. Additionally, no debt will be issued for the development of this project. Mr. McDaniel reviewed the steps that would need to be taken for the approval of this project -- rezoning, agreements, creating and modifying TIFs, etc. He also summarized that this is within the DCAP and furthers, the goal of providing amenities to the area while balancing the comments of the nearby residential areas. Mayor Peterson stated that there has been a great deal of neighborhood feedback that has evolved into the perfect project. He! stated that this is what TIF dollars are intended for. Ms. Fox agreed and stated that this is a notable project that is hoped to kick start the renewal of the Metro/Blazer area. She commended the Daimler Group for listening to the residents. She reiterated how important: the buy -in is from everyone. She is particularly pleased with the architectural style proposed. Using TIF money for the green space that will draw people in is appropriate. She would like to see the green space be very usable. Ms. De Rosa stated that she knows it has been a lot of work and she is very appreciative. She believes it is a positive step forward. Mr. Reiner stated he is pleased that there are no apartments. He believes it will increase the vitality of the area. Ms. Allutto stated that the Community Plan focus was appreciated. Vice Mayor Amorose Groomes stated that she would like to see attention to these ponds to make them viable eco -systems. She is looking forward to programming this park and it will be a wonderful opportunity to open it up for events such as the Fourth of July Fishing Derby. M r. KE.1ena n asked if there was a crosswalk. Ms. Fox stated there is a crosswalk at Rings and Frantz. Mr. Keenan stated there should be one from Waterford. Mr. McDaniel stated that the legislation will be advanced at the next meeting. is-Is's ;115111,111111111111 1111 1111111 11111, Ift Jim1W W A.W.P.W01111 ME E LW%,14ft1W LWI MILM!

The site is currently zoned Office, Laboratory, and Research District. Staff Presentation Ms. Husak stated that this is a request for review and recommendation to City Council regarding a rezoning with preliminary development plan for a 13.5 -acre site for the future construction of up to 70,000 square feet of office and commercial space and a public park. Secondly, there is a request for review and recommendation to City Council for a Preliminary Plat to subdivide 24 acres into three lots for the future development of office and commercial space and a public park. The site is located northwest of the intersection of Rings Road and Frantz Road, south of Blazer Parkway. The plat contains a parking lot, which the City constructed and owns. The boundaries for the development are Rings Road, Frantz Road and Blazer Parkway. Preceding the Informal Review for the development on June 20, there was a long public process with the DCAP Plan, which has informed some of the proposed development on this site. The City has entered into an agreement with the developer to develop this site. Many public meetings preceded tonight's meeting. The rezoning will include the two retention ponds, the park and buildings along Frantz, Blazer Memorial Parkway to the north and Rings Road to the south. Phasing is required to be l%qs.

The City has entered into an agreement with the developer to develop this site. Many public meetings preceded tonight's meeting. The rezoning will include the two retention ponds, the park and buildings along Frantz, Blazer Memorial Parkway to the north and Rings Road to the south. Phasing is required to be Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 14 of 20 included in the preliminary development plan. None of the access points were included in the first phase, nor access to the parking area. The site lines will be revised to ensure adequate access in and through the site before this plan goes forward to Council. Three new subareas will be created. The park will be one subarea. A large amount of development will be located on the east side of the access drive, primarily retail, commercial and restaurants. On the other side of the drive could be office or commercial uses. The applicant has included commercial or office uses for the subarea located along Rings Road, excluding any type of auto -oriented uses. The buildings are relatively small, so a grocery could not be located there. Patio spaces and open spaces are included throughout the site. Even though the DCAP does permit residential for this district, it is not included in this proposed rezoning. Sign requirements are included in the text. The architecture style will be the same "rural feel" as was presented for the Informal Review in June. The City will develop the public open space, which will be programmed in a future CIP budget. The plat includes The Corners development, the park space, retention area, and the existing City parking lot, of which the City will retain ownership. The City also will retain ownership of the ponds and the park. There are three lots in the plat. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and preliminary development plan with the following conditions: 1) That the preliminary development plan be revised to accurately reflect all Subareas, as outlined in the text, prior to Council review; 2) That the applicant revise the development text to address the maximum permitted encroachment of building canopies, awnings, eaves, and projecting signs along the Frantz Road frontage; and, 3) That the applicant revise the phasing plan to include adequate circulation in Phase 1. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with the following condition: 1) That the applicant ensure that any minor technical adjustments to the plat are made prior to City Council submittal. Commission Questions Ms. Fox stated that in Subarea B-1, the Permitted Uses include all administrative and business offices, professional offices, organizations and associations uses permitted in Dublin Code Section 153.026. However, Section 153.027 is commercial and neighborhood uses, which would include a grocery store, bakery, and farm market. These are the uses we had hoped to see in this development, but they are not included. Why is it restricted to Section 153.026, when the more attractive uses are in the following Code section? Ms. Husak responded that Section 153.026 is included because it addresses the office uses. The second paragraph covers the additional uses she has referenced without having to include that Code section. If unclear, the Code section can be included. Ms. Fox stated that Section 153.026 also allows for some uses that she would not expect to see here, such as institutions. Ms. Husak responded that is the reason it specifically states all administrative, business and professional office uses. That eliminates the conditional uses. Ms. Fox stated that is not clarified. It states "uses under 153.026," so it would appear to include them all. She would request that for later ease in implementation, clarification be made. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 15 of 20 Ms. Newell concurred. Ms. Fox inquired the reason that Permitted Uses was limited to simply business and office in Subarea B3, as identified by Section 153.026(a). Could a mixed use be permitted, such as office on second level and retail below? Paul Ghidotti, 6840 Macneil Drive, Dublin, 43017, Daimler Group, stated that accompanying him tonight are Architect 1. Carter Bean and Land Planner Steve Kolwicz. In looking at the DCAP, that plan referred to was a transition step from retail moving to the west. It seemed that office use should be there, as the retailers do not want to be in that location. This area presents the best opportunity for build to suit, owner -occupied office sites in the entire development. This location is a good space for the professional office user — along the pond, with good access on Blazer Parkway. Ms. Fox stated that she does not disagree but did not want to limit it. Mr. Ghidotti stated that they have no objection to expanding B3, if it would not have a negative impact on their traffic impact study. They do not want to re -do that study. Ms. Fox responded that she was not requesting that use be included, rather questioning the reason for the limitation. Ms. Fox inquired about the setback requirements. The DCAP calls for a 30 -ft. setback. What the Commission is looking for is energy at the street, patios, etc. If they are already finding that placing patios in front results in canopies and awnings encroaching in the setback, is a 30 -ft. setback sufficient? Mr. Ghidotti responded that 30 feet is a workable setback. It still allows them to have outdoor seating areas at either the north or south end of the building and wrap it around closer to the street. Mr. Fishman stated that 35 feet would be appropriate. There are large trucks travelling Frantz Road, next to people sitting in patios drinking coffee. That is his complaint about SR161 in downtown Dublin where people are sitting in the outdoor space at Starbucks while semi -trucks pass. Mr. Ghidotti stated that this space would not be similar. They have lost so much of the proposed density in the last year and a half with this project that they are hoping the project still works. Retailers like density and activity. If they continue to shrink the plan, have larger setbacks and lose parking space, they will lose development area as well. Ms. Fox stated that it is important for the City to create a landscape design in conjunction with this development. The DCAP calls for spaces to linger and the use of placemaking principles. The Daimler Group is designing their piece, which must interact with the City's piece. If the City does not have a plan that directly relates, it will not appear cohesive. Is the City's Parks and Recreation Division working on a plan? Ms. Husak responded the intent is that when the rezoning goes before City Council for consideration, their materials will include the development agreement and estimated costs of an associated landscape project. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 16 of 20 Ms. Fox stated that she would like to see a tentative design plan. Ms. Husak clarified that, at this point, the rules for the development are being established. With the future Final Development Plan, the Commission will see every building, parking lot and access point, as well as the park development. Ms. Fox inquired if the loss of density the applicant referred to was the result of the parking requirements. Mr. Ghidotti responded that it was the loss of the uses to the west, which were shown at an earlier November meeting and no longer included that impact the density. Ms. Fox inquired if the parking numbers were based on current City Code, or are they relaxed due to the fact that this is a walkable environment. Ms. Husak responded that it is that, as well as the intent to have uses with different parking peak times. The patios are permitted not to have any dedicated parking spaces. Mr. Fox inquired the reason that the architectural styles have changed from the front to the back of the development. Ms. Husak stated that there was conversation about how to transition into an office building. They are permitting the office use not to adhere to that particular style. Mr. Ghidotti stated that it will be a different use, likely Office use to the west, but also a transition from the retail frontage. Ms. Fox inquired if there would be elements that will enable all to relate. Rings Road faces the Field of Corn. Because that is a signature corner, the architecture was chosen with the intent that it would relate to the sense of the overall area. On Rings Road, will it seem odd that the front reflects that sense of area, and the back will look contemporary? She inquired if the applicant had considered a 3 -story building at the rear. Mr. Ghidotti responded that they would not be able to provide parking for a 3 -story building. Ms. Call inquired if parks are typically developed by the City when open space requirements are met on a parcel. Ms. Husak responded that they are not. Ms. Call inquired if, typically, parks are provided by the property owner. Ms. Husak responded that this park was the result of a neighborhood request. The developer was not required to provide open space. Ms. Call stated that because this is preliminary, the only request she would make relates to parking. Because this plan is underparked per City Code, with the Final Development Plan, she would request that the staff report provide comps on a shared parking agreement. Parking needs are also based on the number of people who want to visit an attraction. She would also request information be provided on the possibility for adjacent parking rather than on the drive lane itself, which circles the Field of Corn. The land is City -owned, and there appears to be space for it. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 17 of 20 Perhaps if some parking spaces could be provided there, it would reduce the demand on this development's parking. Mr. Wilson stated that with the Informal Review, the Commission was shown a clear path from Blazer Parkway to Rings Road. Now, it appears to be a labyrinth. Are there only two ways to access this site? Ms. Husak responded that there are three access points -- from Rings, Frantz and Blazer. At the June meeting, it seemed that the majority of Commissioners preferred that there not be a direct travel path through the site. Mr. Wilson stated that with the curves, there will be a need for stop signs for the traffic moving through that space. Ms. Husak responded that when the Final Development Plan details are provided, the circulation will make better sense. Ms. Kennedy stated that with the Informal Review, Commissioners commented that they did not want a high level of busy traffic next to the City park area. She was pleased to see the traffic route broken up with the revised plan to avoid the potential for speeding traffic next to an area where children might be playing. Mr. Ghidotti stated that it was for other purposes, as well. There is a desire to create a strong connectivity within the site that extends to the Cardinal Health site. They want to encourage the 3,000 Cardinal Health employees to visit this development during the day or at the end of the day. Speeding vehicles would discourage that desired pedestrian traffic. The pedestrian connections on the east side of the site, on the frontage and the east -west connection between the ponds to Cardinal Health are very important to this development. Mr. Fishman inquired about traffic turning at Frantz Road. Mr. Ghidotti responded that it would be right in/right out traffic only. Mr. Fishman inquired about the timing of the park development. The park is an integral part of this development to the residents. He requested that information be provided for the next review. Ms. Husak responded that when this plan goes before Council, it is likely they will address the timing needs. Presently, this project is not included in the CIP. Mr. Fishman stated that if the traffic on Frantz Road increases, there might be future need for a turn lane. However, there is no opportunity for one to be added. Mr. Ghidotti responded that Engineering will not permit a cut onto Frantz Road; the developer already made that request. The traffic impact study did not support even a left turn into the site. Mr. Fishman clarified that he was referring to a dedicated right turn lane from Frantz Road to the site. Ms. Call inquired if a turn lane from Frantz to Rings Road already exists. Ms. Newell responded that there is none at that location. There is one further south. Ms. Wawszkiewicz stated that, currently, the southbound right turn movement is shared with the through lane on Frantz Road. There are three opportunities to turn right into this development — at Blazer, in the middle access to the site, and at Rings Road. If one of the three becomes congested, it will balance out on Frantz Road. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 18 of 20 Mr. Supelak inquired the reason for the phasing. Mr. Ghidotti stated that it is to make the park work. Once the park is constructed, the access points must be available. They are hoping to have the text approved. With that assurance, they can begin to market the site and attempt to secure the type of users that are desired. They have been reluctant to do so, because the plan has evolved. Once the text is approved, they have already engaged a marketing firm that focuses on specialty type retail. If the park was ready, and they had one of the frontages ready to go, those details would be provided in the Final Development Plan. When the first development comes in, they will need the three access points. The infrastructure needs to occur simultaneous with the development. Public Comment Mark Martin, 4211 Rings Road, Vice President, Llewellyn Farms Homeowners Association, Dublin requested confirmation that with this revised plan, there would be no gas station or apartments. Ms. Newell responded that is correct. Mr. Martin inquired if the retail uses would be located along the main roads and office buildings to the rear near the ponds. Ms. Husak stated that the retail is on the Frantz Road frontage. There is also a building that is permitted flex space, either retail or office. All the buildings are permitted to have some office use; a 50-50 mix is permitted. Mr. Martin thanked everyone for listening to the residents' concerns and making the changes. Terry Downing, 278 Longbranch Drive, Dublin, inquired if there was any update related to the timing of this development. At an earlier public meeting, residents were informed that it would be 5-10 years out. Ms. Husak stated that the DCAP has a 5 — 15 year vision. This project is ahead of the zoning that will come with the DCAP. The intent is that this plan will be zoned by the end of this year. The market will drive the actual development. Ms. Rauch stated that staff is in the process of drafting the zoning code amendments for the DCAP. The draft will be completed and the review process will begin within a couple of months. Ms. Downing stated that she is concerned about the intent not to have like tenants with the same peaks in parking, due to the limited parking. There is already a traffic issue due to the Cardinal Health site, and now there will be additional traffic. She would request that the City consider ways to prevent parking and speeding traffic on her street. The residents on the street already experience issues whenever there are traffic backups. They appreciate the Commission considering the residents' concerns expressed at the previous public meeting. Ms. Newell thanked the residents for their comments. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2019 Page 19 of 20 Commission Comments Ms. Fox stated she is aware that the Final Development Plan will provide more details. In order to draw the Cardinal Health employees to this development, it is imperative that the City work with the developer to create focal greenspace on both sides. Perhaps the walkway could come in and broaden to a focal point with a fountain or other placemaking elements that would encourage the public to linger. The public should be drawn to the development for lunch and to stay awhile. In Metro Place, the office workers walk during their lunch hour, but have no place to go. It is the City's responsibility to develop that component, but she encourages staff to work with the developer to create a cohesive look. Ms. Newell inquired if the applicant was in agreement with the proposed conditions. Mr. Ghidotti responded that they are in agreement. Ms. Call moved, Ms. Kennedy seconded to recommend approval to City Council for the rezoning and preliminary development plan with the following amended conditions: 1) That the preliminary development plan be revised to accurately reflect all Subareas, as outlined in the text, prior to Council review; 2) That the applicant revise the development text to address the maximum permitted encroachment of building canopies, awnings, eaves, and projecting signs along the Frantz Road frontage; 3) That the applicant revise the phasing plan to include adequate circulation in Phase 1; 4) That the development text be revised to limit the office uses in Subarea B to the office uses in the Zoning Code Section 153.026(A)(2) and the professional uses in Section 153.026(A)(3) ; 5) That the text be revised to allow the uses in the Neighborhood Commercial District in Code Section 153.027(A); and 6) That staff provide shared parking data comparing the proposal to others in the City with a Final Development Plan. Vote: Mr. Supelak, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; Ms. Kennedy, yes; Ms. Newell, yes; Ms. Fox, yes; Mr. Wilson, yes; Ms. Call, yes. (Motion passed 7-0) Ms. Kennedy moved, Ms. Call seconded to approve the preliminary plat with the following condition: 1) That the applicant ensure that any minor technical adjustments to the plat are made prior to City Council submittal. Vote: Ms. Call, yes; Mr. Wilson, yes; Ms. Fox, yes; Ms. Newell, yes; Ms. Kennedy, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Supelak, yes.

Daimler Development Concept, PID: 273-010749, 19-O47INF, Informal Review Ms. Newell stated that this application is a request for an informal review and feedback on a proposal to rezone approximately ten acres at the intersection of Frantz and Rings Road from Office, Laboratory & Research District to Planned Unit Development District for a commercial, mixed -used center including office, restaurant/retail and open space. Case Presentation Mr. Papsidero stated that this in an informal review of a Concept Plan, which is anticipated to lead to a rezoning of the PUD. This concept is part of a larger strategy related to the retention of Cardinal Health in the nearby six -story office building. The City acquired this 10 -acre parcel, which is part of a larger tract of land, with the intention of constructing a City -owned parking lot to lease to Cardinal Health with an expectation of developing the site to provide some amenities for the Cardinal Health workforce. Site The site is currently a large, open field. The previous large pond on the site was removed to enable construction of the parking lot, and new, smaller ponds and landscaping were added. The goal is to more heavily landscape the ponds and make them an aesthetic feature for the City. To the north of the site is a Tech Flex, one-story office building; across Rings Road is the McDowell property, which is farmed; to the south is the "Field of Corn" public art installation; and to the west is the office building. Dublin Corporate Area Plan Staff has been working with the developer to ensure that the Concept Plan is consistent with the Dublin Corporate Area Plan (DCAP). The goals are: Repositioning "legacy" office sites by encouraging new, complementary investment Creating walkable, mixed use environments with commensurate amenities Use of open space as an organizational and focal element Placemaking This site falls within the Mixed Use Regional Sub -District 2, which recommends: Corporate offices with supporting retail services Limited amount of multi -family (max 30 du/ac) This specific site should accommodate a mix of uses as a neighborhood center 111 00 1 3.

Specific to this site (Site 9), the plan recommends: Neighborhood -oriented retail and restaurant uses (no bars) for Frantz Road frontage The "no bars" provision was a result of one of the last public community meetings. The community did not support the idea of more intensive bar -specific restaurant uses, only a traditional restaurant, in this location. Second story office uses Site design should allow direct pedestrian linkage from the Frantz Road sidewalk through the site to the properties to the west This proposal is for a Mixed -Use Neighborhood Center, which will include retail/restaurant outparcels, office uses and a City park on the 10 -acre site [aerial views shown]. Daimler has proposed two concepts (Concept A and Concept B) for PZC's feedback. [Differences in the concepts were reviewed.] The proposed architecture of the commercial buildings is "modern farmhouse." The park will be designed by the Dublin Park and Recreation Department and would be owned and managed by the City. A public process would be followed to determine the best park amenities for the neighborhoods and the nearby office park. Staff has proposed the following discussion questions to guide the Commission's discussion and feedback: 1) Does the proposal sufficiently address the policies and land uses set forth in the Dublin Corporate Area Plan? 2) Does the Commission prefer the distribution of uses in Concept A or in Concept B? 3) Will the arrangement of land uses support the placemaking and streetscape enhancement goals for this site? 4) Does the Commission support the proposed architectural character of this development? 5) Other considerations by the Commission Commission Questions Ms. Kennedy requested clarification of the pedestrian and vehicular connections through the site. Mr. Papsidero clarified that the north -south line is the vehicle connection; the thin, double -arrow east -west lines depict the pedestrian connectivity. Ms. Kennedy inquired if these concepts were shared with the public. Mr. Papsidero responded that broad concepts were shared at a public meeting several months ago. The concepts shown tonight are the next -step concepts. They are posted on the web. Mr. Fishman inquired if the non -bar restaurants would have liquor permits. Mr. Papsidero responded affirmatively. They will not be bar -only entities, but they will be higher - end restaurants that serve liquor. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2019 Page 14 of 32 Applicant Presentation Mr. Papsidero clarified that the City is the applicant; the co -applicant is the Daimler Group. Paul Ghidotti, 6840 Macneil Drive, Dublin, 43017, stated that staff and the Daimler Group hosted a public meeting on November 27, 2018 at the Dublin Community Recreation Center to introduce the project objectives. Approximately 50 stakeholders attended the meeting, which included a brief presentation to introduce the project and share initial concepts regarding possible land uses and architectural character. The presentations and Q&A were followed by an open house where attendees were invited to share their thoughts. Presentation boards with conceptual land uses, architectural character images, and ideas for open space/streetscape treatment were also available for the public's comment. Attendees were asked to provide feedback using green dot stickers to vote on images/aspects of the concepts that they liked, and red dots to indicate dislike. This development proposal reflects the feedback collected at that meeting. He reviewed the differences in the concepts. He invites the Commission to share their feedback using staff's suggested questions. The next time he will be before the Commission is for the rezoning application. Public Comment Sven Christianson, 5765 Settlers Place, thanked the City for the Dublin Corporate Area Plan. He appreciates that this is a PUD. He hopes that the same PUD opportunity is possible when the area next to their neighborhood is developed. Regarding Concept A and Concept B, specifically, he prefers Concept B. The Field of Corn is one of the most visited public art sites in Dublin. Drawing some of those visitors into the nearby retail would be an advantage for those businesses. He would suggest flipping the public park to the other side in the plan, as it would give more visibility. Ms. Kennedy inquired why he preferred Concept B. Mr. Christianson responded that currently, visitors to the Field of Corn park off the driveway and leave tire marks in the ground. Moving the parking for those visitors into a nearby retail area would be an advantage for both the park and the shop owners. There has been nothing in this area, and creating this presence on one of the main corridors into Dublin would be beneficial. Ms. Kennedy inquired if Mr. Christianson preferred a particular shape for the top park -- long versus centrally located. Mr. Christianson stated that he likes the elongated park; it is a scenic area. Commission Discussion Ms. Kennedy stated that she loves this plan, particularly Concept A, because every building has access to greenspace - evaluating it from a building occupant perspective. She does like Mr. Christianson's suggestion about making the main entrance more prominent to draw people in. She likes the architectural proposals and those that have already been constructed in the community. She has no concerns about this plan. Mr. Fishman stated he likes both Concept A and Concept B and has no issues with either. He also likes Mr. Christianson's suggestion to expand the Field of Corn parking. In summary, he is excited about this proposal. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2019 Page 15 of 32 Ms. Call stated that Mr. Ghidotti has caught the vision of Dublin. She does not have a preference between Concepts A or B. She appreciates the consideration to pedestrian access that has been provided into the interior of the parcels. Regarding the comment related to the Field of Corn, there are some opportunities and believes it would be beneficial to have a discussion regarding mitigation of the traffic concerns. Although that issue may be unrelated to this parcel discussion, Dublin has some amazing amenities. It is important to address the issues without overburdening some parcels when it is possible to address them onsite or immediately adjacent to the site. Mr. Supelak stated that he is supportive of either Concept A or B. He appreciates that the centralized park in Concept A is accessible to all users on the site. However, the parks that extend to the street become an amenity for the rest of the City. City residents are aware of the park because it is not hidden behind the building mass. He agrees with Mr. Christianson's suggestion to connect the vehicular access drive to the Field of Corn. Relative to the placemaking question, the answer may be that Concept B does create a better connection from the Field of Corn to the site in question. Perhaps the drive through the site in Concept B has a more parkway feel. He likes the architecture. In summary, he is satisfied with either concept. Mr. Wilson stated that he likes Concept B a little better because of the flow of the streets through the site. There is a unique opportunity here to begin absorbing what is around the site, so that it can be part of the neighborhood. We are not imposing the site, but are designing the site within the surrounding space. Ms. Newell stated that she prefers Concept B. The elongated park along the water features appears to incorporate all into one park. She is supportive of the architecture that is proposed. We like very well designed architecture in the City, which will be discussed in more detail as the application moves forward. She is glad to see this proposal for a PUD. It is the best way to respond to both our residential and corporate residents in the surrounding area and will result in the best project. Mr. Christianson does have some valid comments about the Field of Corn. Generally, however, there are only one or two vehicles there. The layout of the park is being dictated by the need for relocating a curbcut, so flipping the plan would not be an easy solution. Her final comment is in regard to the vehicular pathway through the site. It needs to be treated in a very aesthetic way to get the best development on this site, more than what we would typically for a service drive. When reusing these places with more urban development — alleys often can function with the restaurants at different hours as part of the amenity of the area. That might call for pavers or other amenities that will still permit traffic flow, but they become an aesthetic of the overall development. In the end, that will make a very successful project. Mr. Ghidotti stated that he believes this could become an A- or B+ plan, or some combination of the two concepts. The market will drive who the end users are, but an attempt will be made to attract those preferred. Over the last year, they have not been able to identify the plan so have not pursued the end users. He does not like two elements about Concept B. He does not like how straight the driveway is that runs north to south. They do not want to create an excuse for someone to avoid the traffic light at Rings and Frantz roads and cut through this site. This site is intended to be very pedestrian friendly, with people playing in the park and programmed events in the park, or pedestrians moving from Frantz Road to the Cardinal Health site. The last thing desired is cut -through traffic. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 20, 2019 Page 16 of 32 Concept A has a more circuitous road through it, which will slow traffic. In Concept A, he likes that the office use at the northwest corner of the site gets the benefit of the water. In Concept B, it is tucked between retail and the road. If they want to attract the right office user, they should put that user on the water. The linear park in Concept B will not lend itself well to park activities. He prefers the northeast corner opportunity in Concept B. The park is there, and a restaurant on that corner would have the opportunity for outdoor seating that sits on the park. The pedestrian path extending west to Cardinal Health is intended to be a dedicated pathway from the bikepath on Frantz Road that runs through the park and past the ponds to Cardinal Health. That would be another reason they prefer not to have direct traffic moving north and south. From the streetscape perspective, the intention is to front Frantz Road with building facades and/or parks and/or outdoor seating, bringing the activity to and engaging the street. Finally, Mr. Christianson's comment is excellent. Perhaps they could add a small pocket park across from the Field of Corn, which potentially could be connected to the retail development that looks over the Field of Corn. Ms. Fox stated that Mr. Ghidotti has created a plan that accurately addresses the DCAP. She is very happy to begin seeing the results of that plan. She likes Concept A and really likes the modern farmhouse architecture style. It relates to the Field of Corn and is unlike any other architecture in the community. Driving through this area and seeing the interesting architecture next to the Field of Corn will draw visitors to the site. She believes there is opportunity to massage the park plan in Concept A so that it is not necessarily one huge park. There is opportunity with the buildings to use the park as the focal point. With a linear park, the background disappears, and there is no intimacy. She is hopeful that the City will dedicate some space for creation of a natural green backdrop on the other side of the linear ponds. Concerning connectivity, she likes the idea that the road is circuitous. Today, it is also important to accommodate walking, biking, Lyft, Uber and shuttle transports. Mr. Newell stated that she understands the marketing reasons for preferring Option A and understands Mr. Ghidotti's concern about the drive. She still prefers Option B because the park engages the street, and in the end, will create a more inviting place for the community, instead of it being isolated within the center. How the drive is treated, however, is very important. It should not be treated as a regular service drive, so it will not appear to be an optional cut -through path. Mr. Wilson stated that there is a large amount of green area north of this site, which separates the street from the buildings. With this development, there is an established path for pedestrians and bikers, which we will want to continue. .._. .._.._ll stat__ that this ._ _ p._p___. feF the ____..._._n _. 13.56 __.__, __..__ Reim'. _.__..
