Thank you, Lauren Lauren L Zarambo Planning Department Secretary Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT o6074 86o.644•2511 ext 253 8/6/2012 Appl 12-38P, 1049 John Fitch Boulevard LLC ZONE CHANGE PH 9/11112 1. Request for a zone change from Restricted Commercial zone to Route 5 Travel Service Zone for approx. 4.3 acres on the northwest corner of Route 5 and Governor's Highway. The site is surrounded by industrially zoned land and there is a combination of industrial and commercial uses in the area. 2. This is the first property to come in under the new zoning classification for the Route 5 Travel and would allow for commercial development oriented towards serving the motoring public and adjacent neighborhoods. The only properties eligible to be rezoned under this proposal include those properties at signalized US Route 5 intersections. 3. The Plan of Conservation and Development proposed land use map shows this area as an "Economic Development Area," which are characterized by a mix of older and newer commercial/industrial buildings. The plan indicates that, "The most appropriate uses are and will continue to be commercial and industrial uses that are in conformance with the Guiding Principles and Objectives of this plan." In recent discussions of Route 5 in the Town Plan update process, the PZC has suggested that to encourage upgrades along Route 5, creating business nodes at appropriate intersections to support the surround areas may be appropriate. 4. Minimum lot size in an TS zone is 2 acres with 150 feet of frontage along Route 5 and a maximum of 60% impervious coverage; minimum lot size in the I zone is 30,000 square feet with 65%impervious coverage. Specific design standards and guidelines address outdoor storage and display of products on site. 5. Uses allowed in the Route 5 "TS" zone include: motor vehicle refueling/re- energizing stations, commercial, professional offices, retail stores, financial institutions and agencies, restaurants including fast food; retail sales, hotels or motels, and other uses deemed appropriate after public hearing. Many of these uses directly service industrial areas around them. 6. Prohibited uses include: vehicle repairs, automobile/truck related sales or rentals; and overnight storage of vehicles. 7. Traffic impacts from the zone change should be handled by Route 5 and Governor's Highway. There is an existing signal at that intersection. However this property is developed, we would expect that all entering and exiting would occur from Governor's Highway, to meet access management requirements. 8. Public water and sewer are currently servicing the site. 9. There are is a small area of regulated wetlands shown on the Town's wetlands map and a brook on the northerly side of the property. 10.The applicant would have to return to this Commission as well as the IWA/CC for approval of site development plans prior to any construction on the site. If this zone change is approved, the Commission must state on the record that you have found the zone change to be consistent with the Town plan of conservation and development.
