With Staff and Development Advisory Committee review
MI-21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project: Comprehensive
Zoning Map Amendments
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan Implementation process continues with the Comprehensive
Rezoning 2021 Project. Under State law, the City is required to review and ensure that the Land
Development Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Official Zoning Map are in alignment.
The Planning Office completed a data analysis evaluation to compare the Land Development Plan
Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended March 8, 2021) and the City’s Official Zoning
Map. This analysis identified a series of properties recommended for rezoning (zoning map
amendments).
These Zoning Map Amendments are recommended to ensure that the Zoning Map serves as effective
tool for implementing the Comprehensive Plan and specifically, the Land Development Plan strategy
for the City of Dover. See Chapter 12 – Land Development Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan.
The properties (parcels) recommended for Rezoning are depicted in map and listing formats (dated
4/26/2021). There are 165 properties, each identified by an ID#. There are 64 unique property owners
including the City of Dover and the State of Delaware. Of the proposed Zoning Map Amendments, a
total of 100 involved rezoning properties to the ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone). There are
also a twenty-nine (29) properties that are proposed for rezoning to IO (Institutional and Office Zone)
recognizing their use as places of assembly/places of worship or their institutional usage under
governmental ownership. The remaining Rezonings are a mix of residential, commercial, and
industrial classifications. See attachments.
See project website including an ArcGIS Hub Site for more information and interactive mapping
resources: https://www.cityofdover.com/ComprehensiveRezoning2021Project
Public outreach to educate property owners about the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project began
in February 2021 with informational mailings, Virtual Information Sessions, a Map Exhibit Display
outside City Hall, other presentations, and a website. Planning Staff communicated with a number of
property owners via email, phone calls, and virtual meetings to assist in their understanding of the
proposed Rezonings.
The Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5 outlines the required review process for Comprehensive
Zoning Map Amendments.

COMPREHENSIVE REZONING 2021
PROJECT – FORMAL REVIEW UPDATE 4/30/2021
City of Dover, Delaware
Department of Planning & Inspections
Comprehensive Plan
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan is a vision document for the City of Dover's future growth
and development addressing where people will live and work, how essential services will
be provided, and how the City can ensure a high quality of life. It is an important
informational, policy, and regulatory document. It is used as the foundation for rezoning,
annexations, and other land use decisions. After a year of development by the Planning
Staff and input from the citizens of Dover, the Planning Commission recommended the
Plan’s adoption in December 2019. City Council adopted the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
on January 13, 2020 and the Plan has been Certified by the State.
Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project
The Comprehensive Plan outlines a number of Implementation items. Under Delaware
Code (State law), the City is required to review and ensure that the Land Development
Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Official Zoning Map are in alignment. This
project is known as the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project. This project is being
led by Planning Office Staff from the Department of Planning & Inspections.
Compare Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map
Part of this project is to go through a parcel-by-parcel evaluation and make sure that the
Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map match. To do this Planning Staff used GIS
(Geographic Information Systems) technology to compare the two maps. The Land
Development Plan Map (Map 12-1 in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) has general Land
Use categories for all properties within the City. The Zoning Map depicts the approved
Zoning District for each property in the City. To view the current Zoning of properties, the
City’s website includes a Dover Parcel and Zoning Map Viewer.
Utilize GIS Technology
Using GIS, the Planning Staff put the
Zoning map layer and Land Development
Plan map layer together to determine
where there were inconsistencies. After
the initial analysis, Staff sifted through
results to determine which parcels should
be corrected. This Project focuses on
where the correction is recommended to
be addressed by Rezoning (changing the
Zoning District of the property).

Analysis of Results by Planning Staff
This Analysis of comparing Maps is also guided by a Land Use and Zoning Matrix. This
Matrix within Chapter 12: Land Development Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is
presented as Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix. It lists the Land Use Categories
and the matching Zoning Districts. The Zoning District of a property must match the Land
Use Category of the property. In some cases, a Zoning District is allowed in several
different Land Use Categories.
Preliminary Listing of Rezonings – Issued February 2021
A series of properties are being recommended for Rezoning based on the completed
analysis. The Preliminary Zoning Map and List of 2/4/2021 was issued highlighting the
selected properties by ID Number, property address, the current Zoning District, and the
Proposed Zoning District. Also provided is the Zoning District Type List document which
consists of a quick summary of the allowable uses in each Zoning District.
Public Outreach on Proposed Rezonings
A step in the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project is educating property owners whose
properties have been identified for Rezoning. Through a targeted mailing in February
2021, we shared information about the Comprehensive Rezoning process with maps and
documents. Also, Virtual Information Sessions were held on February 23, 2021 using
WebEx, a phone and audio/video conferencing system. A Recording of this Virtual
Information Session can be found for viewing on the Project website.
Formal Review Process – Draft Zoning Map Amendments
The consideration of the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project involves a formal
review process. The process involves completion of public notice mailings and legal
advertisements in newspapers, preparation of the Comprehensive Rezoning package
(lists and maps identifying parcels), and Public Hearings. Public Hearings have been
scheduled with the Planning Commission and City Council in order to accept or deny the
proposed rezoning of properties identified. After a decision has been made by City
Council, the City’s Zoning Map will be edited to reflect the parcels that have been rezoned.
• DRAFT Zoning Project Map and List of 4/26/2021 shows the properties
proposed for Zoning Map Amendments (Rezoning).
• See information flyer for how to participate in the upcoming Public Hearings.
• Planning Reference: MI-21-03 and Ordinance #2021-09
Other Related Steps
As a companion piece to the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project, Staff is also bringing
forward a series of Amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. This is known as the
Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2 (MI-21-04). These Amendments will
address Plan text changes to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix and revisions to
Land Use Categories designated on the Map 12-1: Land Development Plan discovered
during this parcel-by-parcel analysis and/or Comprehensive Rezoning process.

statutory requirements is that within a select period of time after the Plan is adopted you must go
through and bring your Comprehensive Zoning Map and your Land Development Plan Map into
compliance eliminating inconsistencies. That is what Staff has been working on since a year or
so ago now. The Comprehensive Plan was recommended by the Planning Commission in 2019
and went to City Council in 2020 and was ultimately adopted there; it was certified by the
Governor on January 13, 2020. Chapter 15, which is the Implementation Plan, has a number of
recommendations and projects. As part of it, has some things that are Ongoing as part of the
ongoing maintenance of the Plan. It has a number of Immediate Actions that must be done pretty
quickly and two of them are Comprehensive Rezoning and the changes to the Comprehensive
Plan to correct any inconsistencies with the Land Development Plan. Then, there is a list of
Short Term, Intermediate and Long Term Implementation tasks with a time period of roughly
five years in a number of areas. It includes studies, looking at regulations and various marketing
plans. For example, a development plan for Downtown and development of a Capital Complex
Plan. These are a couple of examples of Short-Term Implementation projects. This effort is one
of those critical things that had to be done immediately and it is the Comprehensive Zoning 2021
Project. As with the Comprehensive Plan, this has been done in-house by your Planning Staff

and he gives them a great deal of credit for the dedication, their expertise and their knowledge
and the occasional banging of their heads against the wall as we move forward. This has been a
major task on top of everything else that is going on. This is an in-house project and we are very
proud of it. The extensive use of the GIS technology and various mapping techniques to overlay
land use and zoning and to look at individual parcels and aerial photos to make the
determinations of what the appropriate land use and zoning classification should be were done. A
significant portion of the application was education on planning and land use. That included
putting documents out on the website including public outreach workshops. It was an ongoing
process to make sure that people involved understood what they were doing and why it needed to
be done, and what the changes meant for their particular properties and for the community in
general. Then it needs to be implemented and adopted. It is here tonight to get Planning
Commission approval and goes back to City Council in early June 2021.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated for those that participated in either reading some of our information
or watching our Virtual Sessions that were posted online, some of this will sound familiar. This
is really a major data analysis project. It caused us to compare the Land Development Plan Map,
which is a component of the Comprehensive Plan that gives Land Use Categories, with the
City’s Zoning Map which is the zoning for the properties which tell us which section of our rules
to read. As Mr. Hugg mentioned, we utilized Geographic Information System technology. It is a
computer program that does what years ago, you had to do by layering pieces of tracing paper on
top of each other. We now let the computer brain do some of the work for us, but you have to put
good data in in order to make those comparisons. So, it still involved an analysis that Planning
Staff had to look at and look at what the reporting out was telling us; and even ground truthing a
number of the properties when you get down into the details of parcel by parcel analysis.
As mentioned, it is really a comparison of two maps: Map 12-1 which is the Land Development
Plan Map which gives us a broad Land-Use Category and then the City’s Zoning Map that shows
the zoning districts for all properties located within the City. The Land Development Plan Map
most recently is revised as of March 8, 2021. There were some Amendments to this Map that
were successful; so, this was the map that they had to utilize. As you can see, it is very colorful.
Each of the broad Land-Use Categories is given a designated color. For example, Commercial
High Intensity Areas are the bright vibrant red. They find those the clearest along the Route 13
Corridor and then extending down in the Bay Road area. There are also some pockets out on
Route 8. The residential components are basically different shades of yellow: a light yellow, a
medium yellow, and then an orange with various degrees of intensity. In the Downtown area, it
is mostly a kind of light purplish lavender color which stands for Mixed Use area. All of those
equate to certain Land-Use Categories. The next Map is the City’s official Zoning Map. You can
actually view this map online through our “Dover Parcel and Zoning Viewer” that is part of the
City’s website. Here is just an example of a glimpse of the City’s Zoning Map. The subject
property that is highlighted on the screen is the location of City Hall and the Library in
Downtown Dover. This map has a couple of different things that are depicted like the zoning
categories. That is the letter terms that are shown like IO (Institutional and Office Zone), C-2
(Central Commercial Zone), and there are also some overlays that exist here in the City. The
orange color shown in the Downtown area here is the City’s Historic District. Then there is also
shading for things related to our Source Water Protection Overlay Zone and when you are in the
eastern part of the City, also the Airport Environs Overlay Zone. They had to compare these two
maps and the link between the two is something called Table 12-1 which is part of the
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2021 Page 2 of 11 40
Página 41
Item 1.
Comprehensive Plan. This is a brief excerpt from that Table, and this is where the compatibility
analysis had to happen where they looked at the Land-Use category. For example, Residential
Low Density Areas are light yellow. They needed to ensure that those properties with that Land
Use category fell into one the zoning districts that is listed on the right. For Residential Low
Density, the appropriate zoning districts are R-20 (One Family Residence), R-15 (One Family
Residence), R-10 (One Family Residence), R-8 (One Family Residence), R-7 (One Family
Residence) and C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial). For Commercial Low Intensity, there is a
comparable series of zoning districts that are appropriate. Then even for areas that are designated
as Open Space, there are a couple of options for zoning of those areas. The next page shows all
of the colors and their matching zoning districts. This information was provided in the
information that went out to people as it is part of our Comprehensive Plan and it’s the key to
doing the comparison that had to be done. As a result of that initial comparison and the other
ground truthing by Staff that was done, they identified a total of 165 parcels for Rezoning. There
are just about 65 unique property owners that are involved. With those properties, some property
owners own multiple parcels in the same vicinity that make the list. What they are really seeing
is a series of different types of rezoning situations. Most of them are a situation where properties
are proposed for Rezoning, meaning changing the zoning of the property to the ROS (Recreation
and Open Space Zone). That is meant to match the Land Use of the property which is the open
space, conservation area or recreation area. The reason why they are seeing these types of
properties is as our residential subdivisions finish development, it is a policy of our office to
transition the designated open space areas. Where that stormwater pond may be on the active
recreation area for that neighborhood, we move them from what would be a residential zoning
classification into the ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone). That gives it greater protection
and clearly identifies what the use of that particular area is. It is less likely to mistakenly get
developed with an additional housing unit and it really reflects what truly that land should be
used for. A number of ROS locations may include stormwater management areas, or they may be
areas that are significantly impacted by the flood plain which the City limits development in. A
number of those things make up the bulk of where they are proposing for rezoning. They see
these areas in neighborhoods that have either finished construction or are almost finished
construction: places like Emerald Pointe, Clearview Meadow, the Village of Cannon Mill, the
Village of Westover, and a number of places like that. Some of the other Rezoning situations
involve where the zoning and the Land Use are just incompatible. There may be something that
is already operating on that property and it doesn’t quite fit the zoning classification that it has
now and there is a better fit for it. In other instances, we have some properties where the property
itself may have more than one zoning classification, so they are looking to kind of make some of
those corrections as well.
Mr. Swierczek stated that this is an extension of the overall 2019 Comprehensive Plan project.
They started with the Comprehensive Plan in 2019 and when we were initially going through
that process, every step of that project had to have public engagement to get public feedback.
Obviously 2020 put a little bit of a challenge on us as to how they could maintain the same level
of public engagement, but they were not going to cut corners. They had several different
methods in which they were engaging with the public. Back in February and March 2021, they
did set up a display at City Hall outside. We were still closed to the public at the time, but we did
send out notifications to public, especially to the property owners that there was going to be a
display at City Hall in which they could certainly come and look at the information. The website
was also utilized. They were using the website through the Comprehensive Plan process and
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2021 Page 3 of 11 41
Página 42
Item 1.
continued to post updates through that entire process. Then going into the stage right now with
the Comprehensive Rezoning Project, they did create a HUB site which is an interactive website
where you could get much more detailed information about specific properties. That was a
project that Mrs. Bulkilvish had. Once they had identified the properties that they were going to
be looking at or that they thought warranted a closer look at a possible Rezoning, they did have
to mail out that information. Those mailings went out in February 2021. They involved Virtual
Meetings because they couldn’t have in-person meetings like they held for the initial
Comprehensive Plan Project when they hosted workshops at the Library. So instead, they had
specific Virtual Meetings through WebEx. The recorded sessions were posted online so that if
anyone were to miss those meetings, they could view those later. They sought to provide their
contact information to as many people as possible for phone, letter or email. They did provide a
summary of owner inquiries on the Rezoning Project. Once they had sent out mailings and
posted the information in that vestibule area of City Hall, they did receive twelve specific
contacts regarding twenty-three properties. Some of those people may be here with us tonight.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that now they are really in the part of the process that is the formal
review and public hearings on the Project. She wants to at least talk a little bit about the formal
notice that was given. With a Comprehensive Rezoning, the City’s Zoning Ordinance outlines
how notice is required to be given for a Comprehensive Zoning Amendment which is what this
Rezoning Project is. It requires written notification to the involved property owner and then it
involves legal notice published in two local newspapers. They mailed very specific notice letter
and information packet to the affected property owners. It identified each of their affected
properties by an ID number. Those people that may wish to speak tonight will try to focus on
that ID number because that keys you to the Map and their specific information. They were
provided the Maps as well as what the current zoning property is and what the proposed zoning
of the property was recommended for by Staff. The publication in local newspapers was
published in all three local newspapers that people may utilize in this area: the Dover Post, The
News Journal, and the Delaware State News. With that notice, they move into the formal review
process and that involves public hearings both with the Planning Commission and then
ultimately with City Council. Tonight, is the Planning Commission public hearing and we will
move into that shortly. The Planning Commission will make recommendations on the Rezonings
that are proposed. The information will be gathered with the wealth of information on this
project and forwarded to City Council. City Council will conduct a public hearing on June 7,
2021. At the present time that is scheduled to be a virtual meeting and Planning Staff will help
them orchestrate that meeting and hearing. Then City Council will take final action on the
proposed Rezonings at their regular meeting on June 14, 2021. In order to deal with the
Rezonings, they have to adopt an ordinance and the Ordinance # is 2021-09. It will make
reference to the collective maps and lists of the Rezonings that are proposed. As noted, the
Rezonings are city-wide and the green highlighted areas on the map are the properties involved.
This Map was shared with our affected property owners. Each one is identified by a number and
that is shown on the Map. Sometime the numbers get piled on top of each other in some areas so
what they decided to do was break the map up into a series of what they call “Inset Maps.” They
have Inset Maps A-E; and they give a closer view of quadrants of the City and the identified
properties for Rezoning. Accompanying this Map is the Chart that identifies the ID Number for
each parcel involved. It gets which Inset Map it is best shown on since some of them do end up
on more than one Inset Map. It gives the property owner’s name, the parcel ID, the location
address, the current zoning of the property, and then Staff’s recommended zoning. After this

Página 43
Item 1.
evening’s meeting, Staff will fill in the Planning Commission Recommendation column. They
are trying to keep the 165 projects identified easily. The Planning Commission members had a
binder of the project in their packets. The Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments are in the
yellow section. There is kind of the summary of the Newsletter that we provided to the
applicants. There is a full chronology of the events that transpired leading us to this point. There
is a copy of the Ordinance and a copy of what they call the Zoning District Type List which is
kind of a quick listing of the uses that are allowed in any particular zone. Then there is the series
of maps that they just moved through as well as the full table listing of proposed property
locations. They did use their Development Advisory Committee. They did take a look at this
package and have provided comments which are basically no objections. They will of course be
happy to be involved in any kind of future development should something happen on one of
these properties. The last thing that was in the packet for the Planning Commissioners was what
they call that Summary of Owner Inquiries that Mr. Swierczek mentioned. Those property ID’s
where they had, as Planning Staff, direct contact with the property owner either by phone, email
or virtual meeting to help them understand the process; they have identified what those
properties are.
Mr. Hartman stated that he understands the reasoning for most of the Rezonings, but there was
one that fell out what you were explaining to us and that is Item ID #128. Could you give him an
idea for the reasoning for Item ID# 128 Rezoning? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated Item ID# 128 is a property owned by Mr. William Torbert. As of this afternoon
they did receive a letter from Mr. Torbert, and she will introduce that as part of the public
hearing process. This property is currently zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and Staff
proposed its rezoning to ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone). The property is directly
adjacent to the St. Jones River and is impacted by the 100-year flood plain. They felt that
because of that situation, it is better protected with an ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone)
designation recognizing that Flood Plain area should be left as a natural form in an open space
scenario. Our Code actually limits development within the 100-year flood plain so even if it were
to remain as C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone), development of that area would be limited so
that is why Staff was making the recommendation to take it to ROS (Recreation and Open Space
Zone).
Mr. Hartman questioned if there were any other properties like that that went from commercial to
ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone)? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams
stated that a lot of the ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone) properties are within residential
developments and some of that may be because of flood plain impacts. There are a few that may
have been IO (Institutional and Office Zone) that are going to ROS (Recreation and Open Space
Zone). Some of that is City-owned properties which is probably why it was IO (Institutional and
Office Zone) to begin with; so, it may have been more of a park like setting than true commercial
development.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that with the public hearing this evening, we will give individuals
the opportunity to speak in regards to their particular property of interest. When she calls on
people to speak, please identify the property by the ID #. That will be a number somewhere
between 1 and 165 so that we can identify and kind of show what property is being discussed.
They are not going to go to call out one property at a time; they are just going to move through
the attendees that they have this evening. Ultimately, when they get to the time of a motion, they

Página 44
Item 1.
will probably deal with the specific numbered items that have been called out in particular for
action. Then the Planning Commission can adopt the balance by referencing the table general.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Collin Faulkner – Director of Public Safety for Kent County
Mr. Faulkner stated that he is speaking in regards to property #130 which is 911 Public Safety
Boulevard. The Kent County Levy Court has no objections to the Rezoning to IO (Institutional
and Office Zone) and it certainly complies with the current use.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that is Item #130 and it is visible on Map E. The property is
currently zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). The proposed zoning is IO (Institutional
and Office Zone). Mr. Faulkner notes the support of the property owner; in this case, the Kent
County Levy Court, of the Rezoning from R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) to IO
(Institutional and Office Zone).
Mr. Isaac Morris – Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge – 1412 College Road Dover,
DE 19904
Mr. Morris stated that he is speaking in regards to Item #25. The property is zoned R-8 (One
Family Residence Zone) and you are proposing it as ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone).
He is assuming that this is the property where they currently have a pavilion built on.
Responding to Mr. Morris, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated yes, this is Item #25 which is on
College Road. It is currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and it is shown on Map C.
It is a little property right at the top of the map. The property owner owns a series of lots there,
some of which are zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) where the facility is located. They
also own a tract of land that is basically wooded, and she believes that it does have a pavilion on
it that would be zoned ROS (Recreation and Open Space Zone). It is a land locked parcel of land,
so she believes that is the reasoning Staff gave to take it to ROS (Recreation and Open Space
Zone).
Mr. Morris stated that they have no objection to the Rezoning.
Deacon James Ebert – Liberty Church 1150 W State College Road Dover, DE 19904
Deacon Ebert stated that he is speaking in regards to Items #29 and 30. They are copying the
information that it has to become compliant to the current reconfiguration of the existing
Comprehensive Zoning. He can say right now that over a period of time, 90% of what we have
talked about at the church and in Planning is how been how to comply with the zoning as far as
drainage is concerned and parking. Two items that do cause them to consider the possibility of
rezoning the existing property. They work with the idea that they will become compliant with the
good offices that you already offer.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a couple of properties on College Road and McKee
Road and the church is located on part of one of the properties, so it is on that old section of
McKee Road that is kind of a dead end (location incorrectly described by Staff.)
Deacon Ebert stated that it is actually about 15 acres that were combined by a purchase and
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2021 Page 6 of 11 44
Página 45
Item 1.
McKee Run skirts behind the existing Presbyterian Church and is actually a pathway for water
flows. The College Road is the larger property being around 10 acres and it is mostly wooded.
Mostly all of the construction, paving and building are toward the front of the property. In that,
they have a combination that peaks out around fifteen acres and primarily impacts zoning as it is
to be.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a rezoning from R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) to
IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and places of worship area a permitted use in that zone.
Deacon Ebert stated that they are legally incorporated as a church and that is one of the
considerations that they wanted to maintain. The Pastor has a list of opportunities that she uses to
work with the existing areas around the church as ministries, but they are in fact a church. The
Pastor has joined the meeting if there are any questions. She is current as far as where they are
going because of the necessary zoning change to IO (Institutional and Office Zone).
Ms. Deborah Brinkley – Liberty Church 1150 W State College Road Dover, DE !9904
Ms. Brinkley stated that she is the Pastor at Liberty Church. She has recently become a Pastor
and she would really like to know the reasoning for rezoning the properties. Responding to Ms.
Brinkley, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Staff is recommending a change in zoning from R-
10 (One Family Residence Zone) which is a residential zone that allows for church use through a
Conditional Use process to an IO (Institutional and Office Zone). They typically use that IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) when it is more of a complex or when it is on a much larger tract
of land, which they think is the situation here for Liberty Church with Items #29 and 30. That is
Staff’s reasoning for why they are recommending rezoning to IO (Institutional and Office Zone).
Ms. Brinkley stated that she knows eventually as they grow and things begin to change; our
entrance ways, they are now using that one entrance way to enter and exit. They are right across
from the new development of apartments. She didn’t know if eventually they would have to
somehow address that congestion there. Responding to Ms. Brinkley, Mrs. Melson-Williams
stated that if you were to develop your property further, the entrance design would be something
that would be evaluated at that point in time based on the access to that particular road. Certain
roads in the City are actually State maintained roads so DelDOT has the true say about how that
entrance could be designed or if it needed improvement based on what your activities were.
Deacon Ebert stated that if they did rezone that and establish another ingress into the property, it
would make the whole process of entering and existing safer and streamline. They noticed that
down the street, they have seen some good work done with the Presbyterian Church getting
granted access to College Road. It’s made a nice even flow and a safe ingress onto the church
property. So, they are looking at talking with your group to get your professional opinion as to
the advantages or disadvantages of doing that kind of thing. If they do move and put in a road
that is on the front part of the property, it means that they are going to have to reconsider sewer
and water and everything underground. In front of the building is going to have to be considered
before they could make such a move. He would like to have access to the Planning Staff to take
real-time advice as to how to develop Items #29 and 30 because they are going to have to do
quite a little bit to re-engineer where their point/no-point is located. That has already been

Página 46
Item 1.
discussed and they found at that time, which was years ago, that it was going to be an issue. At
the same time, they realized that there was like two different jurisdictions controlling the run-off.
He wants to make sure that they are lining up right as they should on the first go-around. One of
the big reasons for the IO (Institutional and Office Zone) is that they do have to relocate the
point/no-point and do quite a bit of work on pavement to make sure that we have the best access
and usability of the current church building.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that he could reach out to Planning Staff during normal working
hours at 302-736-7196. They will put him in contact with Planning Staff. They would be happy
to talk over the phone or discuss any meeting opportunities that they would have.
Mr. Darryl Harris - unknown
Mr. Harris stated that he just wanted to hear what the Rezoning was about. He has gotten a better
understanding of it now. He would just talk to Planning Staff to see what they can and can’t do.
Mr. Ronald Harmon – 1427 New Burton Road Dover DE 19904
Mr. Harmon stated that he has been a resident of Dover since 1964. The City didn’t choose him,
but he chose the City. He and his wife own a piece of property on New Burton Road and a total
of three properties in the City of Dover. Some of you may remember the Peppermill Pantry
which was a little store located on New Burton Road that his wife ran for about 15 or 16 years.
About 22 years ago they had part of those 4.65 acres that they owned rezoned to C-3 (Service
Commercial Zone) and they built a self-storage facility on that property. The Map that you are
looking at down at the bottom shows Item #161. What the Map doesn’t show you is that that
property also joins our current C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) zoned property which is the
mini-storage and it has about 185 foot of common property line in the back. That property was
originally part of the old Delaware State News property. Of course, it went through many owners
and he ended up buying it from the bank. The reason that they never tried to rezone the property
or combine the current storage property with this is because they had no idea at the time exactly
what they were going to do with it, but it had the proper zoning for our mini-storage. Over the
years that he had owned that property, he had stored some motor homes and trailer there for
people because his storage inside the mini-storage area is limited for certain size vehicles. When
people were in dire need of storage, he would offer them that area at a nominal fee and most of
the time they would take it. He was born in January 1941, so it is pretty easy to figure out how
old he is. About six or eight months ago, he and his wife decided that they would sell their
business and their house but keeping this property on Webbs Lane. The contracts that he has on
the property also include an option for the purchasers to buy Webbs Lane if and when they
decide to sell it within the next five years. If they don’t decide to sell it in five years, they have
the option to buy it. So, they don’t want to lose the C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) on that
property because it already adjoins 3.3 acres that is already zoned C-3 (Service Commercial
Zone) which they own. To take this zoning away from them, would hurt them financially
because he is not sure that the current contracts that he has with people are done. He also
believes that those people have contacted the Planning Office and their plan is to expand the
mini-storage onto that property. If you need a storage unit today between Greenwood and
Smyrna, you are probably not going to find one. If you change the zoning on this property it is
certainly going to hurt them, and it is going to hurt the future buyers. They are on the south end
of the City and that property has been zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) forever because the

Página 47
Item 1.
State News had it zoned that way. They don’t want it rezoned. The Map doesn’t show that the
property already adjoins 3.3 acres that is already zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone).
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that since Mr. Harmon is concerned about what Staff has proposed
for rezoning, do any of the Planning Commissioners have any questions for Mr. Harmon? This is
ID #161 and it is proposed for rezoning from C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) to C-1A (Limited
Commercial Zone).
Mr. Hartman stated that Mr. Harmon makes a good argument since the property is adjoining a
property that he owns that is zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone). He makes a very good
argument that the property should remain C-3 (Service Commercial Zone).
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this Item will be one of the ones that they will pull out and set
aside for individual action because of the Request that has been made. Responding to Mrs.
Melson-Williams, Mr. Harmon stated that he appreciated it. He is currently in Dover right now
and he has some company in from West Virginia. They are trying to get back down to their new
home that they just built that is unfortunately not in the City of Dover anymore. They did move
south to a place called Townsend Fields that is located behind Piazza Mia on the east side off of
Irish Hill Road. Anything that Planning Staff can do to help him out, he would really appreciate
it.
Mr. Tolano Anderson – 50 Dove Creek Ln Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Anderson stated that he is speaking in regards to Items # 88 and 89. When he received the
packet, he was looking at how thick it was and was thinking change. He doesn’t like change but
immediately what came to mind was the Planning Department. He has dealt with all Staff quite
extensively for eighteen years but with his two properties that are listed for a zoning change (as
well as the other two dozen that he owns in the City of Dover), he has a surprisingly comfortable
feeling about the whole Rezoning Plan. This project is quite an undertaking but just knowing the
attention to details and the integrity, professionalism and the character of the people in the
Planning Department. He looked over it and folded it up and said when he gets a chance to make
some comments, he is just going to say thank you for all that they do and for their
professionalism. He is absolutely comfortable with the decisions that have been made so far even
concerning the gentleman just before him. Taking consideration for those that have special
circumstances but quite frankly he doesn’t have any issues with the Rezoning Plan.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Items #88 and 89 are located on North DuPont Highway at 580
North DuPont Highway and 598 North DuPont Highway. The current zoning of both the
properties is C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) and subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water
Protection Overlay Zone). The Staff recommendation is to take it to C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone) and also remaining subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay
Zone). It still remains as a type commercial zoning but probably a little bit more intense which
reflects the address location on DuPont Highway. They are somewhat of a smaller tract of land,
so she thinks that was a reason to go to the C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) rather than
a full highway commercial scenario at those locations.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they did receive one item of correspondence and that is
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2021 Page 9 of 11 47
Página 48
Item 1.
regarding property ID #128. This is a letter from Mr. William Torbert who is the property owner
at 688 South DuPont Highway. His letter references that the property there has been C-4
(Highway Commercial Zone) for a long time. He has paid taxes on the property for a long time
and zoning the property would decrease the value of the property. If it was rezoned it would
prevent the property owner from expanding his storage unit business which is actually located on
a parcel kind of to the north of ID #128. He notes that another possibility would be a fenced in
parking lot of vehicle storage which this rezoning would also prevent him from doing. This
property is currently C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) and it was proposed to go to ROS
(Recreation and Open Space Zone). It is the one that Mr. Hartman asked about at the beginning
of the Hearing. She suggests that this is probably one that you want to deal with specifically as
the property owner has concerns about what is proposed. Mr. Torbert is a person that Planning
Staff did speak with and he had hoped to join us this evening, but it does not appear that he has
been able to do so.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that if your reference the Summary Table of Inquiries, there were a
number of phone calls and there was some email as they set up a meeting with one individual for
providing additional information.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mr. Hartman stated that he lives very close to Item #128 and it is a very low property and he can
understand the flood plain concern. If it were to remain C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone), would
he be able to construct on that property at all? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that it is likely limited in what could be constructed there, but a very specific
determination and a closer look at that would be required should they pursue any kind of
development on that property. There is some existing gravel that exists in that area. She is not
sure how much of it is on the property ID #128 but that is certainly something that would be
looked at with any application, be it Permit or Plan, to develop that parcel of land.
Mr. Hartman stated that if it were to remain C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone) the protections
would still be in place for the flood plain and the restrictions would be in place and anything that
is proposed if it were to remain C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). Responding to Mr. Hartman,
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that is correct. The Flood Plain Provisions are another section of
the Zoning Ordinance that would come into play with any kind of development for this property
or any other property that is located within the flood plain that is depicted on the effective Flood
Insurance Rate Maps at the time.
Mr. Hartman stated that he wished Mr. Torbert was online so that he could present his case.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Commissioners can make one motion regarding the Table
as recommended by Staff with the exception of the two properties, ID #128 and 161. You can
deal with those two as a separation motion since those are the two that have been called out
where the property owner is not supportive of the Staff recommendation.

Item 1.
Map Amendments exclusive of ID #128 and 161, seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was
carried 6-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Roach, Mr. Adams and Mrs. Malone absent. Dr. Jones
voting yes; sounds like an outstanding job and a lot of work with this Project. Mr. Hartman
voting yes; based on the hard work of the Planning Staff and the public comments. Mr. Baldwin
voting yes; sounds like a good plan. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs.
Welsh voting yes; she echoes the comments as to the tremendous amount of work that Staff has
put into accomplishing this and she thinks that it is a good move for the City to expand and be in
compliance with the growth of the City and where we are going as far as the Greater Dover.
Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the several members of the public who have voiced their
support and the lack of objection of the property owners that were notified of the changes and
she wants to thank Staff for all of this work. Having done GIS and to compare maps, she knows
how tedious it can be.
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend rejection of Staff’s recommendation to City Council for MI-
21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project: Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments ID
#128 and allow the property to remain as it is currently zoned based on the comments from Mr.
Torbert and the controls that would still be in place if it were to remain as C-4(Highway
Commercial Zone), seconded by Mrs. Welsh and the motion was carried 6-0 by roll call vote
with Mr. Roach, Mr. Adams and Mrs. Malone absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on what he
said in the motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated.
Mrs. Welsh voting yes; based on the comments from the owner. She feels that they made several
good points about their issues with the Rezoning. Dr. Jones voting yes; for reasons previously
stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on the observation that should the property owner wish
to further develop, there would be another review at that time.
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend rejection of Staff’s recommendation to City Council for MI-
21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project: Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments ID
#161 and allow the property to maintain a zoning classification of C-3 (Service Commercial
Zone) based on the comments from Mr. Harmon and the fact that it is sited next to his business
that is always been zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone), seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the
motion was carried 6-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Roach, Mr. Adams and Mrs. Malone absent.
Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on what was stated in the motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; it
makes sense since the adjoining property is zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) so why not
leave this property C-3 (Service Commercial Zone). Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously
stated. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; due to the fact that there are adjoining properties and she believes
that the applicant mentioned several properties that are C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) that are
adjacent to the property. Dr. Jones voting yes; for the reasons stated. Mrs. Maucher voting yes;
for the reasons provided in the motion.

Recommendation from the Planning Commission Meeting of May 17, 2021
With Staff and Development Advisory Committee review
MI-21-04 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2
Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2
Associated with City of Dover, DE Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan Implementation process continues with the Comprehensive
Rezoning 2021 Project. The Planning Office completed a data analysis evaluation to compare the
Land Development Plan Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended March 8, 2021) and
the City’s Official Zoning Map. See MI-21-03 Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project:
Comprehensive Zoning Map Amendments and a Project Chronology Listing. See also project
website including an ArcGIS Hub Site for more information and interactive mapping resources:
https://www.cityofdover.com/ComprehensiveRezoning2021Project
As a companion piece to the Comprehensive Rezoning 2021 Project, City of Dover Planning
Staff is also bringing forward a series of amendments to be known as Comprehensive Plan
Amendments Set #2 to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. These Amendments were discovered
during the parcel-by-parcel analysis and/or the Comprehensive Rezoning Project process (MI-
21-03). In the case of these properties, the more appropriate approach to compliance between the
Land Development Plan Map and Zoning Map has been determined to be by way of focusing on
the designated Land Use Category.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendments Set #2 Project Application (MI-21-04) consists of
review of a series of Amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Plan text changes
and Map revisions to the Land Use Category as recommended by the Planning Staff. There are
two proposed amendments: one to text of the Comprehensive Plan in Chapter 12 – Land
Development Plan and one to a Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Amendments include consideration of a series Plan text changes to Table 12-1: Land Use
and Zoning Matrix. In This Amendment, there are several zoning districts that are recommended
to be added to select Land Use Categories. R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) is proposed to be
added to the Residential Medium Density Land Use Category. C-3 (Service Commercial Zone)
and SC-1 (Shopping Center Commercial Zone) are proposed to be added to the Commercial -
Low Intensity Land Use Category. A notation that “Open Space uses may also exist in other
zones” is proposed to be added to the Open Space Land Use Category. See Revised Table 12-1.
This Amendment is presented as MI-21-04A in Ordinance #2021-10.

And then the Amendments include consideration of a series of items for amendment of Map 12-1:
Land Development Plan to revise the Land Use Classification/Category of specific properties. A
series of twenty (20) areas identified by address and location are recommended for Amendment
on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan. There are areas that function as open space or park areas
that are recommended to move to an Open Space, Conservation, Recreation Land Use
Classification/Category. There are areas where parcel analysis of the residential dwelling usage
or actual type results in a different Residential Land Use Classification/Category. There are
several properties where the Commercial Land Use Classification/Category is recommended to
change to match the current use and zoning of the property as Residential. See the series of Map
Exhibits. The currently adopted Map 12-1: Land Development Plan from the 2019
Comprehensive Plan Map as amended thru March 8, 2021 is provided for reference. A DRAFT
Map 12-1: Proposed Land Development Plan is presented including the recommended
amendments on the full color map showing all land areas of the City. To more easily see the
recommended Amendments, a series of maps showing the Proposed Revisions to Map 12-1: Land
Development Plan Map (Amendment in color) as an overall map and then as a series of Inset
Maps 12-1A thru Map 12-1D. A DRAFT Listing of 4/26/2021 – Summary Table Exhibit of
Proposed Revisions to Map 12-1 provides a listing the specific areas for Amendment. This
Amendment is presented as MI-21-04B in Ordinance #2021-11.
This Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2 Project requires a formal review and
approval process. This process began with the Planning Office’s submission of the Proposed
Comprehensive Plan Amendments as an application for PLUS (Preliminary Land Use Services)
Review in March 2021. Following the PLUS Review Meeting of March 24, 2021, a Letter dated
April 22, 2021 with written comments from the State agencies was received (PLUS #2021-03-
01). The next step for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment involves consideration by the City
of Dover’s Planning Commission and the City Council including Public Hearings. This First
Reading was completed at City Council on April 26, 2021 to introduce the proposed ordinances,
provide drafts of the proposed Amendments, and set the dates for the Public Hearings and
Actions before the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Commission Public
Hearing is set for May 17, 2021 at 5:30pm and the City Council Public Hearing is set for June 7,

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION
May 17, 2021
Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft
The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, May 17, 2021 at
5:30 PM as a Virtual Meeting using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx due to
Delaware’s Declaration of the State of Emergency for COVID-19. The Meeting Session was
conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Lord,
Mrs. Welsh, Dr. Jones, Mr. Baldwin, and Mrs. Maucher. Mr. Adams, Mrs. Malone, and Mr. Roach
were absent.
Staff members present were Mr. Dave Hugg, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek,
Mr. Jason Lyon and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney.
MI-21-04 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Set #2 – Public Hearing and Review for
Recommendation to City Council of a series of Amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
include consideration of the following:
A. Consideration of a series of plan text changes to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning
Matrix of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended). The changes to the Land Use and
Zoning Matrix will add several zoning districts to certain Land Use Categories.
Ordinance #2021-10.
B. Consideration of a series of Amendments to Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map
of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan (as amended). The Recommendations for the Land Use
Classifications to be revised is for a series of parcels citywide as discovered during the
parcel-by-parcel analysis and/or Comprehensive Rezoning Project process and are as
listed in the Summary Chart of Land Use Classifications. Ordinance #2021-11.
Public Hearing before City Council is set for June 7, 2021 with Final Reading and Final
Action by City Council on June 14, 2021.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a companion piece known as the Comprehensive Plan
Amendments 2021 Set #2. This is Set #2 because they had their annual public request earlier in
the year. These are ones that are components of the Comprehensive Rezoning Project, but these
are amendments to the Comprehensive Plan itself. There are two of them. One of them is specific
to the Plan text, meaning an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan itself and that’s revisions to
our Land Use and Zoning Matrix and then the second one is a Map change and it’s amendments
to the Land Development Plan Map. Because it was a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, these
were submitted to PLUS back in March 2021 and that is the Preliminary Land Use Services
review process with the State. As part of your packet you will see the PLUS Review comments.
No real comments or objection from the State Agencies. Some of them did note what some of the
activities are and that they were encouraged by what Staff was recommending in their regard. It
is certainly something that goes along with our Comprehensive Plan and our task to make sure
things are working as well as to be expected. This also has this formal review and public hearing
process to it which is what we are conducting tonight.
Amendment Item A is a series of plan texts changes to Table 12-1 and this is covered by
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2021 Page 1 of 3 78
Página 79
Item 2.
adopting what would be Ordinance #2021-10. The second item is known as Item B and is a
series of amendments to Map 12-1 and it has an ordinance specific to it and that is Ordinance
#2021-11. In your packet is the Land Development Plan Matrix, also referred to as the Land Use
and Zoning Matrix. What is highlighted in red are a series of text changes to add several different
zoning districts to a number of land use categories. In this case, they found that a number of
properties in doing that comparison with the zoning would be better suited if they made a change
to our Table rather than trying to rezone the properties. The proposed changes would be in the
Land Use Category of Residential Medium Density to add the zoning classification R-10 (One
Family Residence Zone), just a slightly larger sized parcel of land. This Land Use Category
already includes a number of residential zoning districts. The next change would be to the Land
Use Category of Commercial Low Intensity and in this case, looking to add C-3 (Service
Commercial Zone) and SC-1 (Shopping Center Commercial Zone). Both of which can be low
intensity depending on the activity that is happening there. The other change is to the Open
Space Land Use Category; and this is more of a notation that identifies that open space uses may
actually exist in other zones. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the ROS (Recreational and Open
Space Zone) or the RC (Recreational and Commercial Zone) to have some land use compatibility
between the zoning and the Land Use Category of Open Space.
The next component is dealing with Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map. They have a series
of twenty areas that are proposed to make a change to their Land Use Category as it’s depicted
on the Map. They have first presented it as an overall map. Again, these are numbered and then
for a closer view, they have a series of Inset Maps A-D that depict where they are a little closer
so that you can see them. To accompany the Map, they have a Table that actually identifies them
by an ID Number and then an address location: either a specific address or a general area
description. It then presents the current Land Use Classification, the current Zoning of the
property, and then the proposed Land Use Classification which is the Recommendation that
Planning Staff is making tonight. Because these are amendments to the Comprehensive Plan,
there is not a requirement that specific property owner notification occur. In this case, public
notice is given through a legal advertisement and they did that in conjunction with the
Comprehensive Rezoning. So there was legal notice published in three newspapers and
information about these Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments, as kind of a companion piece,
was clearly identified in their correspondence related to the Comprehensive Rezoning Project as
a companion piece or an alternative to rezoning. They see a number of individual properties and
a lot of cases it is where ground truthing of a property has clearly identified what the use is. A lot
of times it is that real small level of parcel-by-parcel detail that has turned this up. In some cases,
it is where it may have had a Land Use Category Residential Medium Density but what’s really
happening there is Residential Low Density scenario; so, that’s where some of the changes are
proposed. There are twenty areas that are City-wide. Almost all of them are related to residential
properties for the most part where they are making that Land Use Category fix.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the
public hearing.
Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-21-04 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments 2021 Set #2 to include the Amendments to the text changes to Table 12-1 and the
Amendments to Map 12-1 as well, seconded by Mr. Hartman and the motion was carried 6-0 by
roll call vote with Mr. Roach, Mr. Adams and Mrs. Malone absent. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; this is

a tremendous amount of work done by the DAC and it speaks volumes that with all of this
information, there is no one to speak against any of the issues. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on
what the PLUS Letter says and the package that they were presented with. Mr. Baldwin voting
yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Dr. Jones
voting yes; a job well done. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; based on review of the PLUS comments.
