Project Overview

  • Purpose of this Study

To develop a comprehensive Land Use and Transportation Plan to evaluate potential land development in the study area, to identify multimodal transportation infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate planned growth, and identify

  • pportunities to integrate and create

connections between the existing and future development in the area.

Existing Conditions

  • Natural Resources

– Most of study area in Potash Brook Watershed

  • Stormwater Impaired Watershed

– Limited extent of mapped natural resources in study area. – Primarily wetlands, stream buffers, and rare species/communities.

Very Rare/Rare Invertebrate Rare Invertebrate Wetlands Wetlands Wetlands Rare Natural Community

Existing Conditions - Zoning

  • Five Zoning Districts
  • 1. Industrial & Open Space (IO)
  • 2. Mixed Industrial & Commercial (IC)
  • 3. Commercial 1 - Limited Retail (C1-LR)
  • 4. Residential 1 PRD (R1)
  • 5. Residential 12 (R12)
slide-16
SLIDE 16

Existing Conditions - Zoning

  • Industrial & Industrial & Open Space (IO)

– High quality, large-lot office, light industrial and research uses. – High-quality planned developments that preserve the generally open character of the district, and enhance the visual quality of approaches to the City while providing suitable locations for employment and business growth. – The location and architectural design of buildings in a manner that preserves these qualities is strongly encouraged.

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Existing Conditions - Zoning

  • Mixed Industrial & Commercial (IC)

– General industrial and commercial activity in areas of the City served by major arterial roadways with ready access to Burlington International Airport. – Major commercial uses, such as supermarkets and shopping centers shall not be permitted.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Existing Conditions - Zoning

  • Commercial 1 - Limited Retail (C1-LR)

– General retail at specific intersections in the city, to serve nearby residential areas. These commercial areas are intended to serve the convenience shopping needs of local residents and employees. Their location and design are intended to make them accessible both by motorized vehicle and by foot.

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Existing Conditions - Zoning

  • Residential 1 PRD (R1)

– Low-density single-family residential uses to protect scenic views and cultural resources, and to provide compatibility with adjacent natural

  • areas. A Planned Unit Development may be

permitted at a maximum of four units per acre.

  • Residential 12 (R12)

– High-density residential use. The district is located in areas that are near shopping areas, schools, and public transportation facilities. – Offices and other commercial uses may be permitted within the district in locations that have direct access to arterial and collector streets and that will not adversely affect residential properties.

  • Clusters of crashes at key intersections
  • No High Crash Location (HCL) segments or

intersections within Study Area.

  • No fatalities
  • 19 injury crashes

– 8 on Kimball Ave – 5 on VT 116 – 4 on Kennedy Drive – 1 on Meadowland Drive – 1 on Tilley Drive

Future Land Use & Development

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Future Land Use & Development

  • CCRPC ECOS Plan (2013)

– Enterprise: Areas that accommodate a future concentration of employment uses that attract workers from the County and multi- county region. – Metro: Areas that accommodate jobs and housing in a compact development pattern that supports transit service & pedestrian activity.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Future Land Use & Development

  • South Burlington Comprehensive Plan (2016)

Land Use Planning Areas

– Project area primarily in Northeast Quadrant and Southeast Quadrant zones

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Future Land Use & Development

  • Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Planning Areas

Northeast Quadrant

– Future use of land should continue to focus on employers and ancillary services. – Future development should maximize efficiency of land use and support multi-modal transportation. – This area should have clear, efficient access to City Center as part of an integrated, urbanized high activity, pedestrian and transit friendly east-west corridor.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Future Land Use & Development

  • Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Planning Areas

Northeast Quadrant

– An important consideration for the future land use is the potential for a new Interstate interchange (“12B”) in the vicinity of Hinesburg Road. – With an interchange, properties would gain substantially improved access; with no interchange, the overall transportation and development capacity of the area could be limited.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Future Land Use & Development

  • Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Planning Areas

Northeast Quadrant

– Objective 53: Provide a balanced mix of recreation, resource conservation, and business park opportunities in the south end of the Quadrant. – Strategy 121: Encourage well planned, clustered, compact and infill business park development that integrates contiguous open space areas in business park design. – Strategy 122: Focus City resources in support of the build out of high density business, technology and mixed use centers to include the greater Tilley Drive – Tech Park – O’Brien Brothers – Meadowlands & adjacent properties. Recognize this central area of the community as critical to the economic and employment growth of the City and work to encourage full build out of available capacity.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Future Land Use & Development

  • Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Planning Areas

Southeast Quadrant

– One of the most difficult issues for South Burlington has been the provision of east-west connector roads between Spear Street, Dorset Street, and Hinesburg Road, and provision of connections between adjacent subdivisions. – The lack of east-west roadways means, effectively, that the SEQ presently has over 1,000 housing units and regional traffic moving through a farming community’s roadway network. The lack of east-west connections increases travel times and miles traveled.

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Future Land Use & Development

  • Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Planning Areas

Southeast Quadrant

– Strategy 132: Evaluate the allowable activities on the western portion of the Industrial-Open Space District and consider enabling the development of a residential neighborhood with density from transferred development rights from conserved properties in the SEQ. – Strategy 133: Revise the LDRs to ensure that all truck- intensive uses in the IO district are located a sufficient distance away from residentially-zoned lands to prevent adverse noise, air quality, light, and visual impacts.

Questions & Discussion

  • Considering the four transportation improvement packages described below, which one would

you choose to best address future growth in the Kimball/Tilley/Hinesburg Road area?

Package #1: Walking & Transit Focused

  • Organize transportation in the area around public transit

& walking by investing in frequent transit service and constructing new buildings close to bus stops

  • Provide comfortable transit accommodations with access

to frequent local, express, and circulator bus routes

  • COST: $$$

Package #3: Interchange Access

  • Construct a new I-89 interchange at VT 116
  • Expand the I-89 Exit 13 interchange to accommodate

full access to and from Kennedy Drive/Dorset Street and I-189

  • COST: $$$$$

Package #2: Connected Streets

  • Construct connected network of streets, sidewalks and

bike paths

  • Construct capacity, safety, and mobility improvements for

all users at critical intersections - including new signs and striping, new signals, additional turn lanes, roundabouts, etc)

  • COST: $$

Package #4: Modest Improvements

  • Focus on maintenance of the existing transportation

system.

  • Some new or expanded intersections, sidewalks, bike

lanes, traffic signals, or paths at key locations

  • New street connections made by the development

community

  • COST: $
