July 2020 Joint Public Hearing Item Cover Sheet/Staff Report
Agenda Item #: 4 ATTACHMENTS: 1 –applications 2 – conceptual plan 3 – Uses allowed in General Commercial 4 – email comment
GENERAL INFORMATION: Project Title: Annexation - approximately 6.25 acres at 202 Holiday Park Rd
Future Land Use Plan – from Rural Living to Retail Services Zoning – from county residential to town General commercial
Purpose: The new owner of the former Moose Lodge site at 202 Holiday Park Road
has requested annexation into Hillsborough. The requested zoning is General Commercial. That requires a Future Land Use Plan amendment to Retail Services or a finding of consistency by the boards.
Background: The applicant site if roughly 6 acres on the west side of Holiday Park Road. The site is adjacent to the city limit as the West Village apartments are in the city limits. The owners submitted a conceptual drawing to the town board indicating a plan to convert the buildings to rental storage with interior access. Under the UDO, this use is not “self-storage” but “storage, interior.” Interior storage is permitted by right in the General Commercial district. Self-storage (with exterior access doors to each unit) is only permitted in industrial districts. This intended use cannot be conditioned on the approval. The entire list of uses allowed in General Commercial have to be considered acceptable at the site. The list of uses is attached. Any changes to the site needed to establish this use will have to comply with the current ordinance. The Future Land Use Plan is a map and description of how the town prefers areas to be developed or redeveloped in the future. I have referred to it is “pre-zoning” many times. In reviewing zoning requests, the boards must make a consistency finding to describe how the zoning change is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan and Comprehensive Plan. It is this requirement for consistency that triggered the Future Land Use Plan portion of the application. Our Future Land Use Plan identifies zoning districts expected in each land use designation. Commercial zoning is not expected in the Rural Living designation. The applicant requested an amendment to the land use plan to help the consistency of the zoning request. If the board wants to see increased commercial activity in this vicinity and on this parcel, the plan should be amended. The boards could also find that the zoning request is consistent with the Plans by some other rationale (making use of an existing building clearly not built for residential use) and decline to change the future Land Use Plan. The zoning could still be approved, but it wouldn’t serve as an encouraging signal to surrounding property owners that significant additional development is desirable in this area.

Request: The request has three parts: 1) Annex the property into Hillsborough 2) Amend the Future Land Use Plan designation from Rural Living to Retail Services. 3) Zone the property General Commercial Public comments: Notices were mailed to 27 neighboring property owners within 500 feet of the property. A list of permitted uses was included in that notice as well as participation instructions. Staff received 3 inquiries about the intended uses of the property. Two gave no indication of support or opposition. One was received via email and it is attached.

Margaret,
Thanks very much for this update. I'm not as familiar with these processes, but regarding theannexation request - we are interested in requesting that our property also be annexed (204Holiday Park Road).Regarding renovations, they may face some challenges to avoid developing, given that thebuildings aren't in great condition and the majority of land is acting as a wildlife buffer. I hopethe town will think carefully about any rezoning.
Regards,Elijah

Sammy & Elijah,
The owner did not submit any concept plans. They are not obligated to. The town mustreview the entire list of uses permitted in the zoning district and determine whether theywould all be acceptable at this location.
The owner did say they intend to renovate the existing building into climate controlledstorage. From the discussion, it sounded like little to no new construction was planned, justrenovation and some sprucing up. We can’t hold them to that, but it’s the idea theysubmitted to the town.
I’m sorry we can’t be more specific. When an owner requests a general purpose zoningdistrict like this one, the entire list of uses are possible and the board cannot imposeconditions on the approvals. Any redevelopment of the site would have to comply with thetown’s development ordinance.

Good morning,
My household received notice of a public hearing for a rezoning request for 202Holiday Park Road.
Does the owner/developer have concept plans for this parcel? If so, we would liketo see them. Their plans for the property and surrounding forest will greatly impactour neighborhood.
All the best,
