Sewer Service Area, Rock Quarry Vicinity, and Development Constraints
• Discussion on whether the rock quarry area lies inside the sewer
service area; sewer reportedly reaches the end of the rock quarry and
into Red Oak Flats, raising usability concerns if outside the service
boundary.
• Terrain constraints along Long Branch (cliff on one side, floodplain on
the other) limit development regardless of zoning.
• Some parcels near Perkins Road are in active site work; questions
raised about impacts if maps/overlays change.
Gateway Corridor and Overlay District Alignment (Section 27-3.1.10)
• Clarified distinction between gateway corridors (character areas) and
overlay districts (regulatory design standards); overlays impose
enforceable design guidelines.
• Historical context: original gateway corridor was broad; overlay created
to focus and elevate commercial frontage design.
• Preference to retarget the overlay footprint along parcels fronting the
state road from Home Depot entrance to Red Oak Flats and south,
rather …

Sewer Service Area Boundaries and Policy Scope
• Ordinances governing sewer service area boundaries were reviewed to
determine if they should restrict or allow expansion. Properties outside
the boundary require approvals from the Planning Commission, Board
of Commissioners, and Water Authority to connect.
• The boundary was affirmed as a regulatory checkpoint to deter
unwanted high-density expansion outside designated zones.
• Debate continued on whether rules should be applied via the Gateway
Corridor overlay or the sewer service area, noting parcels inside the
sewer area but outside the overlay may seek character area changes
for density rather than aesthetics.
• Conclusion: Maintain the sewer boundary as a multi-body review
checkpoint and develop policy language addressing both overlay and
sewer service area contexts, anticipating density-focused character
area change requests.
Mixed-Use Framework: Class 5/6, Percentages, and Consolidation
• Current Class 6 mixed-use rules (caps at 50% multifamily and 50%
commercial) were said to deter development. Participants considered …
