Ordinance 2022-05 -- An Ordinance Proposing the Rezoning of 5.62 +/- Acres Located in the NE Quadrant of Maryland Way and Brentwood Blvd
Submitted by:	Jeff Dobson, Planning & Codes
Department:	Planning & Codes

Information

Subject

The attached ordinance requests consideration of a proposed rezoning of 5.62 +/- acres of land located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Maryland Way and Brentwood Boulevard. The requested change is from the C-1 (Commercial -- Office) zoning district to the C-2 (Commercial -- Retail) zoning district.

Background

Ordinance 2022-05 requests the rezoning of 5.62 +/- acres located at the intersection of Maryland Way and Brentwood Boulevard. The requested change is from the C-1 zoning district to the C-2 zoning district. The surrounding properties are zoned C-1, C-2, and SI-3. The subject property is immediately across Maryland Way from Maryland Way Park. The address is 2 Maryland Way.

The subject property includes some of the earliest buildings constructed in Maryland Farms having been built around 1976. Historically, the three buildings were referred to as "OB" (Office Building) 1, 2 and 3. Now they are called EastPark 1, 2 and 3. All three buildings include three stories each. EastPark 1 and 2 are proposed to be impacted as part of the rezoning request, while EastPark 3 is not.

The building areas are summarized in the following table.

BUILDING NAME	AREA (SF)
EastPark One-- (OB 1)	32,437
EastPark Two -- (OB 2)	87,917
EastPark Three -- (OB 3)	80,263

The rezoning plan proposes the demolition of EastPark One, which includes an area of 32,437 square feet. According to the owner, the building has reached its age of obsolesce and is no longer considered feasible or efficient to continue to maintain for office uses. The EastPark Two building is under renovation and will remain.

In addition to the EastPark One demolition, the submitted plan proposes a mixed use project that will include the construction of a four-story, 120-room hotel and a 6,000 sq.ft. restaurant with an outdoor patio seating area having an additional 1,000 sq. ft. in area. The restaurant will be located at the corner of Maryland Way and Brentwood Boulevard. Tenants for the hotel and restaurant have not yet been selected. The parking lots will also be reconfigured as a result of the new uses.

City staff and staff from Neel-Shaffer have met with the developers' representative to design the scope for a traffic impact study. Additionally, a shared parking analysis will be provided. Both reports will be provided for staff review before second and final reading of the ordinance. Upon receipt, the TIS and the shared parking analysis will be forwarded to Mr. Greg Judy with Neel-Shaffer Inc., who assists staff in the review of the submitted TIS. The applicant will pay for the Neel-Shaffer review per the requirements of Section 50-29(b) of the Municipal Code.

Please note that the submitted site plan is not binding as with an OSRD residential development plan. The plan is meant to provide an idea of how the site may develop in the future. If the rezoning is approved, the property owner will present a plan that complies with all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance to the Planning Commission for review and approval. The plans would also address grading and stormwater issues associated with the redevelopment of the property. As part of the plan, the applicant should also provide a pedestrian access plan that includes a crosswalk across Brentwood Boulevard and sidewalks in accordance with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. There are no sidewalks on either frontage of the property.

The review of the plan will track along the following schedule.
