PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, change is constant in every community and affects all of us, and community planning
can help manage change in a way that provides better choices for how people work and live.
Community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be involved in making choices that
determine the future of their community and requires public officials and citizens who understand,
support, and demand excellence in plan development and implementation; and
WHEREAS, the American Planning Association and its professional institute, the American Institute
of Certified Planners, endorse National Community Planning Month as an opportunity to highlight
the contributions that sound planning and plan implementation make to the quality of our
communities and environment; and
WHEREAS, the 2020 National Community Planning Month theme, "Planning Is Essential To
Recovery”, highlights the importance of community planning to help existing businesses thrive, while
continuing to build our community.
NOW THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER,
DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2020 as

NEW APPLICATIONS
S-20-08 Manufacturing Facility at 1436 New Burton Road - Public Hearing and Review of a Site
Development Plan Application to permit the construction of a new 457,500 SF Manufacturing
Facility (US Corrugated of Delaware), parking, and other site improvements. The parcel totals
37.47 acres +/- and is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone). The property is located
2

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
on the northeast side of the POW/MIA Parkway and west of New Burton Road. The property is
adjacent to the Railroad on the east. The owner of record is G&M WDC, LLC. Property
Address: 1436 New Burton Road. Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-085.00-01-07.00-000. Council
District 2. This property has received a Waiver from the requirements for PLUS Review. Waiver
Requests: Reduction in Minimum Parking Requirements; Elimination of Sidewalk; Partial
Elimination of Upright Curbing; and Consideration of Performance Standards Review
Application. This Site was previously subject to Comprehensive Plan Amendment MI-16-01 and
Rezoning Application Z-16-02: Lands of Kesselring Company, LLC approved in 2016.
Representatives: Mr. Jamie Sechler, Davis Bowen & Friedel; Mr. Jeff Coleman, Chief
Operating Manager of US Corrugated of Delaware; Mr. Richard Monteiro, Mr. Mike Glick,
Lighthouse Construction; Mr. Craig Johnson
Mr. Swierczek stated that this is a review of a Site Development Plan Application to permit a
457,500 SF manufacturing facility along with associated parking and other site improvements at
1436 New Burton Road. This property had previously been known as the Kesselring Farm. Any
remaining structures that have been associated with the farm have since been demolished. As
you can see on that Site Plan in front of you, the development is proposed only for the southern
portion of the site. That northern, sort of triangular wedge is noted as a future development area.
Access to the site is proposed from the POW/MIA Parkway shown at the top of the screen. The
applicant has submitted communications between themselves and DelDOT regarding traffic at
the proposed intersection which provides site access and it has been included in the reports to the
Planning Commission. There are 111 loading spaces for trailers identified along the left and right
side of the building. They also note that they will be providing access from the railroad that runs
immediately adjacent along the eastern edge of the bottom of the property. This railroad spur will
enter the property and enter straight into the facility. Project application of the site typically
warrants a Preliminary Land Use Services or PLUS Application with the State; however, the
City did seek a PLUS Review Waiver for this project by submitting a letter to the Office of State
Planning which was granted. In their letter, the Office of State Planning had noted that the DAC
process provided an even more stringent review process than PLUS which justified the granting
of the Waiver.
For parking requirements, conventional plan development in the IPM (Industrial Park
Manufacturing Zone) has a parking requirement base rate of one parking space per 800 SF of
floor area with the applicant being able to deduct any loading space areas from the floor space
calculation for that parking. With that being noted, the parking requirement would generally be
535 parking spaces; however, the applicant has submitted a Waiver Request for consideration by
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is allowed to do this through Article 6,
Section 3.9 which allows a Waiver reduction not to exceed 50%. The applicant had noted that
they are seeking to be allowed to construct only 272 parking spaces which would be compliant
with that maximum 50% reduction allowed. For sidewalks, they are generally required on all
street frontages. The plan notes that there is an existing multi-modal pathway along the opposite
or western side of the POW/MIA Parkway from the subject property. On the screen, it will be
towards the top. The applicant has also asked for the Waiver for not providing a sidewalk on
their side of the parkway for consideration by the Planning Commission. The upright curbing for
the parking lot drive aisles is required in Article 6, Section 3.6b. They have additionally asked
3
6
Page 7
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
for a Waiver Request from Planning Staff as opposed to the members of the Planning
Commission to be able to waive the upright curbing in areas designated for trailer parking and
loading spaces; noting that they will install concrete wheel stops along all trailer parking spots
not against the building. On the subject site, you can see the stormwater management facility and
for any of the trailer loading spaces they will be provided with those parking stops. Staff has
granted the approval of that Waiver Request. Finally, in that Waiver Request Letter to the
Planning Staff and Planning Commission that was provided in the packet, they did note a request
for a Waiver from Dumpster requirements which is not something that the Code actually allows
Waivers for. However, it does say that it can allow for a reduction in required Dumpsters if the
applicant can show that there will be areas reserved for Dumpster pads for future use or there
will be a trash compacter provided which the applicant has identified that they will be providing
there. Those were all included in the packet and as just a quick reminder to the members of the
Planning Commission; they should act upon the Waiver Requests as part of any motion
regarding this project application or as a separate motion as necessary.
Mr. Coleman stated that what they will actually be manufacturing here is corrugated packaging
which they will be shipping to various customers, not only in Delaware but in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It is in our plan to hire as many as 160 employees at a very good
wage and they are very excited about the opportunity to come to Kent County.
Mr. Sechler stated that he would like to reiterate some of the stuff that Mr. Swierczek talked
about for some of the Waiver Requests. As mentioned, they are requesting Waivers. Some they
have already discussed with Planning but there are two that he would like to point out again. One
of them being the off-street parking where they are requesting the Waiver for 50% reduction.
This site requires 535 parking spaces and they are asking for the reduction down to 268 spaces.
This is mainly because on the maximum shift, there are between 80 and 100 employees. With
268 parking spaces, they are still going to be overparked by probably about 150 parking spaces
at any given time but the 50% reduction is all that the Code allows so that is what they are
requesting. The second Waiver is the Article 5, Section 18.5 to eliminate the sidewalk along the
property frontage. They have met with DelDOT and they have actually received a Letter of No
Objection for this project. DelDOT, when constructing POW/MIA Parkway, did not see the need
to put a shared use path or sidewalks on both sides mainly because their side of the roadway is
kind of trapped between the Parkway and the rail line. There is also the overpass at the southern
tip. In part of their improvements, they are going to be doing a signalized pedestrian crossing for
anyone on their side to access the shared use path on the northwest side of POW/MIA Parkway.
DelDOT did not want or require the pedestrian facilities so we are asking the City of Dover to
also grant that Waiver.
Mr. Hartman questioned if the rendering showing the southwest view was shown from New
Burton Road? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Johnson stated yes, that is the view that would
be seen from New Burton Road as if you were standing on the railroad tracks. What that doesn’t
represent is the large amount of vegetation that the site engineer has designed into the plans.
There is a rendering that does show what that would look like in an 8-10 year time frame. They
shadowed trees and vegetation so you can still see the building beyond but generally speaking
with the planting in place, you are not going to see very much building at all.

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
Mr. Hartman questioned if that was the southwest view or the southeast view? Responding to
Mr. Hartman, Mr. Johnson stated that it is the southwest corner of the building.
Mr. Hartman stated that our Water & Wastewater Department mentioned an industrial discharge
that will have to be approved through Kent County and you have a filtration system for inks. He
was wondering that in accordance with the Performance Standards that is required, is there any
solid waste filter media that will be generated that we will need to be concerned about?
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Johnson stated that any of the processed waste is collected into
a sedimentation pit and then processed prior to anything exiting the building. There will be
monitoring from the user on that discharge and that is being worked with the appropriate
authorities right now.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.
Ms. Linda Parkowski – Kent Economic Partnership
Ms. Parkowski stated this is a fabulous project and they are really excited that they have picked
Central Delaware and Dover specifically for this project and we just can’t wait for them to open.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mr. Adams moved to approve S-20-08 Manufacturing Facility at 1436 New Burton Road to
include the Waivers requested for a reduction in the minimum parking requirements to 50%, the
elimination of the sidewalk at the frontage of the property and the partial elimination of upright
curbing as detailed in the plan and to include the approval of the Performance Standards Review
Application, seconded by Dr. Jones and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mr.
Baldwin absent. Mr. Adams voting yes; he would like to welcome US Corrugated to Dover. They
certainly appreciate their investment and these new jobs. Mr. Roach voting yes; for the reasons
previously stated. He appreciates them bringing some more visual aesthetics to the rendering.
Mrs. Malone voting yes; regarding the previous comments. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on
the recommendations in the DAC Report and he would also like to welcome them to Dover. Mrs.
Lord voting yes; thank you for bringing jobs to Dover because we need them. Mrs. Welsh voting
yes; she too is impressed with the application and she looks forward to a great facility there and
all of the associated jobs and economic benefits. Dr. Jones voting yes; she welcomes them to
Kent County, Delaware. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for the reasons previously stated and she
welcomes them to the area.
S-20-09 Union Wholesale Dover Facility at 679 Horsepond Road - Public Hearing and Review
of a proposed Site Development Plan Application to permit construction of a 9,000 SF
Warehouse and site improvements adjacent to an existing 4,983 SF Warehouse and Office
Building. The Plan also shows additional parking and landscaping to meet code requirements.
The property measures 2.003 acres +/- and is located on the east side of Horsepond Road
approximately 630 feet south of S. Little Creek Road. The property is zoned C-3 (Service
Commercial Zone) and is subject to the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone): APZ II and
Noise Zone B. The owner of record is JACJIM, LLC. Property Address: 679 Horsepond Road.
Tax Parcel Number: ED-05-078.00-01-11.00-000. Council District 2. Waiver Requests:
Elimination of Sidewalk, Elimination of Bicycle Parking, Reduction in Number of Required
5

Page 9
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
Parking Spaces. The subject property was recently annexed on June 8, 2020 (Application AX-20-
03).
Representatives: Mr. Jim McLaughlin; Ms. Judy VanValkenburg
Mrs. Bulkilvish stated that this location might be familiar to some of you as it was just recently
annexed into the City at the beginning of the year. It was annexed so that the property owner
could expand its business and it currently operates as a wholesale warehouse and office. There is
small 4,983 SF warehouse building on the property currently. The proposal is for a 9,000 SF
warehouse building with parking, stormwater management facility and additional landscaping.
Just like with the last application that you heard, this application is requesting several Waivers.
The Waivers include elimination of the sidewalk requirement along the frontage of the property
and also the elimination of the bicycle parking requirement as it is kind of located in an area that
not many pedestrians would be accessing. Also, the warehouse is meant just for storing of items,
it’s not really open to patrons coming in and out. So the applicant felt that the bicycle
requirement may be more of a safety hazard as there would be truck traffic and other heavy
equipment moving along that road rather than pedestrian friendly environment. The third Waiver
is a reduction in the required parking spaces. The applicant is asking for a reduction in 50% of
the spaces, thus making the requirement 47 spaces reduced to 24 spaces. Again, the applicant has
stated that even that may be too many. There won’t be that many employees onsite at any one
time and it is not a place that is really open to customers; so, customers will not be going in and
out. When this property was annexed, it was annexed and rezoned to C-3 (Service Commercial
Zone) and it is also in the AEOZ (Airport Environs Overlay Zone) both in Accident Potential
Zone II and Noise Zone B. Under that zoning and the AEOZ, it is a permitted use to continue to
operate as a wholesale warehouse. The applicant has also provided a visual to show the reduction
in parking. It would eliminate the parking along the northern end of the property and leave it
open as a loading area and open for potential striping in the future if it ever needed to be striped.
They are showing existing parking along the front of the 4,983 SF building as well as additional
parking to the rear of the existing building and to the east of the proposed building. They have
also provided a rendering of what that may look like once it’s built.
Ms. VanValkenburg stated that they are also going to need to connect into the City of Dover
Utilities. The current building is on a septic system that can’t handle any additional flow which
would be generated by the couple bathrooms that would be in the new building. It’s also on well
water which they would like to connect into the public water in order to provide fire protection
and potable water for both buildings. One other thing to maybe note is that the entrance
requirements by DelDOT have been met. They submitted to them and they have issued us a
Letter of No Contention. They are not requiring any entrance improvements and that letter has
been submitted to the Planning Office. The only thing that they did ask is that we clean out the
culvert that is under the existing entrance and just make sure that the flow can go through it
adequately. To touch on the few Waiver Requests that they had made, they would mostly like to
take advantage of the parking Waiver for loading purposed behind the building. The owner
would like to put loading doors in the back of the building as well. They did run a turning
template and it does accommodate a WD40 truck to be able to circumnavigate around the entire
building without impacting the parking or the curb line. For the sidewalk issue, they also talked
with the Planning Department about it and there are a couple site constraints which is why we
6
9
Page 10
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
were asking for those. There are utilities along the front road along Horsepond Road and there is
a significant drainage swale there. They would also like to avoid having to try accommodating
those constraints which would be kind of difficult. The bike parking Waiver is because they just
don’t really expect to have any bicycle traffic coming into the property and they are concerned
about safety provisions because of the truck traffic coming and going.
Mr. McLaughlin stated that they are looking forward to hopefully proceeding with this project
down the road. Judy and Apex Engineering have done a great job for him to try getting this thing
off of the ground; and he has learned a lot from this because he has not done this before. They
have been in Kent County for almost three years and now have annexed into Dover. Obviously
with the growth of our business, they do need to do some upgrades like tying into the utilities. He
thinks that everything is pretty well covered and they are looking forward to expanding the
business in Dover.
Mr. Hartman thanked the applicant for the details on this application. He realizes that it must
have been a long road for him to get this far. He sees that Planning Staff has recommended that
parking for one bicycle remain. How does the applicant feel about that? Responding to Mr.
Hartman, Ms. VanValkenburg stated that they didn’t really talk about that option but she is sure
that the applicant wouldn’t have a problem providing that if the City feels pretty adamant about
it.
Mr. Hartman questioned how the Planning Staff felt about it? It looks like a good idea. If a
worker wants to bring a bike, in order to avoid damage to a tree or structure, to have at least one
parking spot available. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Bulkilvish stated that they had
recommended one bicycle parking space to avoid any damage to the structure or any vegetation.
They also thought that it might be an opportunity to showcase some type of product that the
company might carry but she feels like there is opportunity on the site to provide at least one
spot.
Dr. Jones stated that she shares Mr. Hartman’s concern about at least one bicycle parking space.
They may attract someone who is not driving yet and who is trying to work to improve
themselves.
Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing.
Ms. Linda Parkowski
Ms. Parkowski stated that they certainly support this application. This company is expanding and
hopefully creating some new jobs. The Horsepond Road and Lafferty Lane area is a prime area
for industrial expansion. Mr. Hugg and I have actually reviewed that area for plans in the future
and hopefully, they can entice some other businesses to expand or relocate to there. The Kent
Economic Partnership is in support of this.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Welsh moved to approve S-20-09 Union Wholesale Dover Facility at 679 Horsepond Road
inclusive of any DAC comments and including the Waiver Requests for the elimination of
7

CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
sidewalk, the reduction of the number of parking spaces and the request for the elimination of
three bicycle parking spaces reduced to one space, seconded by Mr. Adams and the motion was
carried 8-0 by roll call vote. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; she believes that it is a big improvement for
that area and they welcome the company for their expansion. Dr. Jones voting yes; they welcome
the company to that area and it is a great improvement. Mr. Adams voting yes; echoing the
comments that have been made. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mrs.
Malone voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; he is happy to
support the motion in accordance with the DAC comments and recommendations. Mrs. Lord
voting yes; good luck on the expansion of the business. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons
previously stated.

Article 12 – Definitions and to the Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98 – Street Sidewalks, Storm
Sewers and Other Public Places and Appendix F – Fees and Fines. This proposed Ordinance provides
definitions; establishes certain general and specific standards relating to the location, placement,
construction and maintenance of Small WCF, Non-Tower Based WCF, and Tower-Based WCF; and
provides for the regulations of WCF within the public rights-of-ways and outside public rights-of-
way on properties. Also associated with these provisions is a Draft Small Wireless Communication
Facility (SWCF) Design Manual. Ordinance #2020-13.
A copy of the Proposed Ordinance #2020-13 is available on the City’s website www.cityofdover.com
under the Government Heading: Ordinances, Resolutions & Tributes
https://www.cityofdover.com/ordinances-and-resolutions
The Draft SWCF Design Manual is available from the Planning Office.
The Proposed Ordinance was presented to the Council Committee of the Whole - Utility Committee

Representatives: None
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is a Text Amendment regarding wireless communications
facilities. The purpose of this Text Amendment is to establish uniform standards for the siting
design, permitting, installation, maintenance and use of Wireless Communication Facilities in the
City of Dover. It really consists of two parts. First, is a proposed ordinance and that is Ordinance
#2020-13 and then associated with that is a Draft of a Small Wireless Communications Facility
Design Manual. Over the past year, various City staff and Departments have been involved in
this project to develop these provisions, really lead by the City Manager’s Office. And we do
have the Assistant City Manager, Matt Harline joining us at this meeting. The City’s Electric
Department, the City’s Planning Office, and the Department of Public Works have also been
involved. In addition, the City has made use of a specialized legal resource, the Cohen Law

Group. A lawyer with them, Mr. Mike Roberts has been assisting Staff in the development of
this Ordinance and some of the other provisions associated with wireless communications
facilities. There have been a number of presentations to the City’s Utility Committee over the
last year as they worked to develop this Ordinance and Design Manual. In addition, when we are
talking about attaching things to City stuff, it requires a Master Licensing Agreement process
and the City’s Electric Department has been very much involved on that side of the world. Our
proposed Ordinance really sets up three types of wireless communications facilities and those
types being Small Wireless Communications Facilities, Non-Tower Facilities and then Tower
Based Facilities. Small Wireless Communications Facilities have a very specific definition that’s
outlined at the Federal level that comes into play so we are adopting that as part of our
Ordinance. They are typically small and less than 50 feet in height overall. There are some other
dimensional limitations that are established by their definition. The next type of facility is a Non-
Tower Facility and that is a communications facility that is located or co-located on something
that is already there. This is where we see placement on buildings or on existing water towers or
tanks that the City may have. They are types of utility poles, light poles and structures that are
really there for something else but are having this communications facility element attached to
them. The next type of facility is what we would call Tower Based Facilities and this is where
the main purpose of the tower itself is to support the Wireless Communications Facility. This is
where we see those purpose built things like the lattice towers or the monopole that the only
thing it’s doing is for the Wireless Communications Facility placement on it. The Tower Based
Communications Facilities are placed as the support structure for the communications facility
itself.
Our Proposed Ordinance had to have a number of components to it. The key part of the Proposed
Ordinance will create a new section of Code in the Zoning Ordinance that would be Article 5,
Section 23 that focuses very specifically on Wireless Communications Facilities. There is a
purpose statement and there is a definitions section for a number of definitions that needed to be
put in place to understand this technology and its terminology. There is a section on applicability
and that section explains when this type of activity applies. In certain cases, they had to establish
some exceptions so that it didn’t capture things like if someone still had a television antenna or
some type of satellite dish on their property that they use for obtaining those types of services for
their own personal use; basically, a non-commercial function. They also had to identify some
things related to non-conforming uses with this. The next section of the Ordinance deals with the
type of activity determination. With these types of facilities, at any given time there are a number
of things that could be happening and we wanted to divide out the type of activity so that it
identifies more clearly the type of process that it will need to move through or if it had special
types of requirements for it. They see an Eligible Facilities Request as one type. An Eligible
Facility is something that is already there and you are co-locating something new on it or you are
changing out equipment that is already there because you’ve got a technology upgrade.
Substantial Change Activity is actually defined in the Federal regulations as to what constitutes a
substantial change but common sense is going to tell you that if it really changes the physical
dimensions of what is there then it’s a Substantial Change. The next type is a New Facility
meaning that whatever you are proposing wasn’t there previously and it’s going to be something
new then it will have a certain type of review process because of that. Additionally, they had to
pull out Small Wireless Communications Facilities. These types of facilities have very
specialized Federal regulations associated with them related to their sizing, the placement of
9

Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
them and the timing for review so they were pulled out as a specialized type of activity.
With the Ordinance, they had to establish application procedures. They are actually talking about
placement of facilities both in the public right-of-way (or the property of the road) and also
locations that may be on individual properties. That is spelled out for each type of activity.
Basically, what you are dealing with is that there will be a type of Building Permit Application
called a Wireless Communications Facility Permit that will have to be applied for. Depending on
where you are locating, if you are locating within the right-of-way there are additional permits
related to using the right-of-way. Where the Planning Commission ultimately plays a role is that
for new Tower Based Wireless Communications Facilities, this process will require a review of a
Conditional Use Application.
The regulations and standards are given by each facility type. That actually outlines the details
about location, the development parameters be it sizing, height, what else is happening on the
property, things like setbacks, the details of if there are additional equipment or accessory
buildings needed to support the facility, as well as any kind of fencing or access and lighting
needs. Additionally, there are Design Standards that are established that focus on visual
appearance based on the type of facility and in the case of the Small Wireless Communications
Facility this is where we reference the Design Manual. The Design Manual goes into much
greater detail of how Small Wireless Communications Facilities are supposed to be designed and
placed.
The Ordinance kind of wraps up with a series of general requirements and these focus on the
maintenance and the care to ensure that once one is in place that it continues to function and is
cared for appropriately. When doing the Ordinance, they had to take a look at other portions of
the Zoning Ordinance to make sure that they weren’t creating any other conflicts and they
discovered some cleanup measures that they needed to do. The first one is in the IPM-3
(Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone) that focuses on industrial aviation and aeronautics. This is
a new zone for us within the last couple of years. They currently do not have any properties with
that zoning classification but we likely will in the future. What the Amendment to that section of
the Code does is clearly makes these types of Wireless Communications Facilities a Conditional
Use. In the case of the IPM-3 Zone, they are allowed but they are allowed in support of aviation,
aeronautics and related operations. They also did some other cleanup in that section of the Code
to identify things that were a Conditional Use in that section and then did some language
clarification. Previously, the section on IPM-3 made reference to things like broadcasting towers
and telecommunications towers so we are really updating terminology.
The other section of the Zoning Ordinance that we needed to make improvements to is Article 5,
Section 21. This is a clarification of Wireless Communications Facilities versus that section that
specifically deals with Public Utility Infrastructure. They needed to make the distinction that
those items meeting the definition of Wireless Communications Facilities are being dealt with in
a different section of Code and this section under Article 5, Section 21 does not apply to them.
Additionally, there were parts of the main part of the Dover Code of Ordinances that they had to
establish some changes to with this proposed Ordinance. The first being in Chapter 98, which is
the section of Dover Code that deals with streets, sidewalks, storm sewers and other public
places. By this Ordinance, proposing a new section, Section 98-11 that discusses the procedures
10
13
Page 14
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
for placement of a Wireless Communications Facility within the right-of-way. It establishes
provisions for use of the rights-of-way and that focused on a permit process and also to establish
an annual fee for use of what is the City rights-of-way. With this process, establishment of
procedure also comes the need to establish fees for the types of activities. The fee structure or the
City of Dover is found in Appendix F of the Code of Ordinances and other sections kind of point
to this section for reference. There are several proposed fees the Ordinance looks to establish.
Those are a Right-of-Way Permit fee. If you are going to be in a City right-of-way there is going
to be a fee for us to review that and it also establishes Annual Fees for using the right-of-way. In
certain cases, there would be no charge for use of the rights-of-way. In other cases, if you are
placing a new structure or pole in the City right-of-way then there would be an annual fee that
would be implemented upon your placement of the facility. There are a number of existing fees
in the Code that are also noted here. Currently, there is a pole attachment fee; however, we are
clarifying that the pole attachment fee for a wireless communications facility is something
different and carries with it a different fee. There is also the application fee for our Conditional
Use Permits that already exist in Code. It is important to note that a number of these applications
fees, especially tied to the Small Wireless Communications Facilities are actually capped by
Federal regulations so there is some limit as to what the City may charge in that regard.
The second component of this is the “Small Wireless Communications Facility Design Manual”
and it has a number of sections. Again, it’s definitions and general standards for both the facility
as well as antennas and accessory equipment standards for poles. It also makes some reference to
the review and approval process for it and the timing. She will say that the Design Manual is still
considered in draft. There are a number of things in the Ordinance that they need to ensure that
the Design Manual references appropriately so if there are any changes in what is adopted by
Ordinance, there may need to be some revisions to the Design Manual. The Design Manual is
referenced in the Ordinance and would be a policy document for the review and for the design of
anything being submitted as a Small Wireless Communications Facility. Mr. Hugg actually
worked on the initial drafts of this Design Manual; so, she is not sure if he has any comments
about the logistics of the Design Manual that he would like to make.
Mr. Hugg stated that the Design Manual will need to be carefully reviewed once the Ordinance is
finalized so that they complement each other. He thinks that Mrs. Melson-Williams
underestimated the amount of work that she and others have had to do over the last year. This is
a complex area where we had very little guidance and very little precedent to go on. He thinks
that they have worked their way down from he doesn’t know how many pages but he wants to
compliment her and the rest of the City Staff who have been involved in this. The Design
Manual is pretty much what it says it is. It gets to color, what is looks like, and whether it has to
match other decorative poles and how far the arms can extend, and what the antennas look like to
ensure that we get the best visual and performance standards that we can for the City of Dover.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they are actively in the formal review process of the
Ordinance. Its First Reading was held the last week of September 2020. Tonight is the Public
Hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission. The Commission’s recommendation
on the Ordinance will be forwarded on to City Council. City Council will need to conduct its
own Public Hearing and do Final Reading of the Ordinance and take action to adopt the
Ordinance. That is currently scheduled for November 9, 2020. As noted, the Design Manual is a
11
14
Page 15
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
work in progress. They are feeling pretty good at this point; however, they have to make sure
that it plays nicely with the Ordinance once adopted. So there is still some work there to do to get
to its final publication. With any Ordinance there is always legal review by the City Solicitor and
in this case, we have Special Legal Counsel that’s been assisting us with this project. As a side
portion to this, there is the development of agreements for use of City owned poles and access to
the City right-of-way. This is done through a process called Master Licensing Agreements. The
City has been working with two entities at this point on their individual Master Licensing
Agreements. There is a Draft Master Licensing Agreement as a starting point and the City’s
Electric and City Manager’s Office have been leading the charge with working with those
entities to develop those. Of course with this and the new portions of Code, they have to formally
put in place the Application Review Processing Procedures so that involves completion of permit
forms. They need to create form that looks a little different than our normal Building Permit
form so that we capture the information on the type of Wireless Communications Facility and
their type of activity. We are also looking to do some type of application checklist so that they
know what they need to submit in order to move through our review process in a timely fashion.
Then also we need to set up that process of intake and review because this will involve more than
just the Planning Office. The Electric Department and the Public Works Office will likely be
involved in the review of a Wireless Communications Facility permit so we need to have the
processes in place to do that.
In case you don’t really know what these things look like, there are some examples that are being
shown on the screen. A number of applications for Small Wireless Communications Facilities
implementations include making them part of an existing light pole. The other ones do indicate
the Tower Based option which is a large pole and an array of things at the top of it. The other
two images are kind of the less conspicuous implementation of Wireless Communications
Facilities often at the small level where there may just appear to be an extra box on a pole; be it a
light pole or some type of utility pole. These provisions also have to deal with the fact that if you
are placing your wireless communications facility on an electric service pole, there are some
obvious separation distances and things that need to happen so that you and the transmission of
electric to our other customers don’t have a problem.
Mr. Hartman stated that the term “stealth technology” appears in the Design Manual and the
Ordinance, is that a commonly used term in this industry? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs.
Melson-Williams stated that she would say yes and it’s meant to be something that could be met
in a number of different ways. When you think of stealth, it means you are hiding it in some way.
So with our provisions, “stealth technologies” is actually defined. It is ways that you can go
about camouflaging or screening the facility so that it blends in or is more visually appealing to
the area where it is. Some of the examples that are there on the screen have been the choice of
color and shape and form that allow it to blend into an existing light pole feature. It may be that
the base is a little bit bigger than one that doesn’t have a wireless facility or it may have a
slightly taller element to it so it’s really about a case by case basis looking at ways to have it
visually blend into its context and its surrounding environment, whether that’s on a building or a
light pole. The Design Manual does mention it also when it comes to the Small Wireless
Communications Facilities.
Mr. Hartman stated that he didn’t find it in the Design Manual. In the Design Manual, Section 2
12
15
Page 16
Item 1.
CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 19, 2020
Item 7, it talks about what you are describing but it does not say “stealth technologies”. “Stealth
technologies” is defined in the Design Manual but then in the actual standards, he doesn’t believe
that it’s mentioned again. If it’s an acceptable term in the industry, he has no problem with it.
Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they do have some industry
people that are on the call this evening that she expects to hear from during the public hearing
portion of the meeting.
Mr. Hartman stated that he understands that the Design Manual is a work in progress but one of
the things that they are talking about in Section 2 Item 3, “all small wireless communications
facilities shall be installed and maintained in a workmanlike manner in compliance with the
National Electric Safety Code and the National Electric Code as applicable.” Is “workmanlike
manner” actually needed in that sentence? It seems to do nothing but raise questions. Responding
to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that it probably doesn’t add anything to that discussion. A lot
of the language in the Design Manual is kind of industry standard. This is kind of a format driven
product. He agrees with Mr. Hartman; he does not know what it adds so they can certainly
remove it. Also, “stealth technologies” is a term that is used constantly in the industry as well.
Mr. Hartman stated that in the Design Manual “small wireless facilities” is defined differently
than how it’s defined in the Ordinance. Also in the Design Manual, you reference it three
different ways. You reference it as a Small WCF which is actually referenced in the regulation
and that’s the way that it should be termed. But you also term it SWCF and SCWF which is
probably a typo but to be consistent, you should continue with what is in the Ordinance, Small
WCF rather than switching back and forth. Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Hugg stated that
Mr. Hartman is correct and these are the kinds of things that they still need to work on in the
Design Manual. Now that they have an agreement on what the Ordinance should look like and
the wording of the Ordinance, those are good comments.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Nate Attard – 452 E Loockerman Street Dover, DE 19901
Mr. Attard stated that he just wanted to commend the City on working on this issue. He knows
that it is one that the Commission may think is less than important but a change is coming with
transportation and this is actually extremely important. As you guys hear about things like
autonomous vehicles, you have to be aware that they actually connect to this type of technology.
So it’s good that the City is sort of getting ahead of the game and making sure that the Code can
sort of meet the demand that the City is going to face and try to permit these facilities in the
future.
Ms. Bonnie Metz – Verizon of Delaware
Ms. Metz stated that she wants to thank the Staff. This is a process that she has been involved in
with the Staff at the City for almost two years now since this started. They have really done a
great and thorough job on the City’s behalf in coming to an Ordinance that is reasonable yet
protects the City in aesthetic ways with the Design Manual. On behalf of Verizon, they look
forward to working with the City and we move forward with their small cell technology in Dover
and other places throughout the State.

the Planning Office and it is something that is greatly needed in the future for the City. Dr. Jones
voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Adams voting yes; for reasons previously stated.
Mr. Roach voting yes; he wants to say thank you to Planning Staff for their detailed reports. Mrs.
Malone voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on the package
presented and the presentations tonight and he also wishes to thank the City for their hard work
on this. Mrs. Lord voting yes; for reasons previously stated and she thinks the City of Dover will
greatly benefit from forward thinking on wireless use for the City. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for
reasons previously stated and also adds her thanks to the Planning Staff for their hard work on
this and also for welcoming in the industry representatives in to make sure that this a
comprehensive ordinance that is workable for everyone.

This rezoning application for two adjacent parcels of land consisting of 5,952 SF +/- and 3,877
SF +/-. The properties are zoned RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-1
(General Residence Zone). The properties are located at the southeast corner of North New
Street and Fulton Street on the east side of N. New Street. The owner of record is National
Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL). Property Addresses: 35
and 39 North New Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05-39.00-000 and
ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000.
Existing Property:
The properties both have frontage along North New Street to the west, while the property
addressed as 39 North New Street as a corner lot also has frontage on Fulton Street to the north.
Both properties are currently vacant, having each previously contained one-family detached
dwellings (single family homes). The property addressed as 35 North New Street has access off of
a rear alley (running parallel to North New Street). Yet 39 North New Street (located on the corner
of North New Street and Fulton Street) does not have access to the rear alley. There is a sidewalk
along both North New Street and Fulton Street. The applicant is seeking rezoning to RG-1
(General Residence Zone) to allow the redevelopment of the lots. In particular, 39 North New
Street is a relatively small parcel making development more difficult. The RG-1 Zone allows a
developer to request administrative waivers from the bulk standards when the lot is otherwise
small enough to make development with the minimum bulk standards impractical. The RG-3 zone
does not have such options for waiver requests.
Previous Activities
The properties were together previously subject to Rezoning Application Z-15-03 which rezoned
the properties from the RG-1 to RG-3. The properties applicant had sought a rezoning to RG-3 to
allow for the development of townhouses, which were not then permitted in the RG-1 Zone. This
application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission in July 2015, and
approved by the City Council in August 2015.
The subject area was then subject to Application V-18-01 for an Area Variance to permit a
reduction in the minimum required setbacks for a townhouse in the RG-3 zone. The applicants
had proposed to re-subdivide the parcels into three (3) new parcels, each with frontage on Fulton
Street. The Application was approved by the Board of Adjustment in March 2018.
Finally, both properties were subject to a Minor Subdivision and Site Development Plan SB-18-
03 for the actual development of the newly proposed three (3) parcels into three (3) townhouses
with associated site improvements. This application received conditional approval by the
Planning Commission in August 2018; however Final Plan Approval was not achieved and the
plan has expired.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding parcels to the east, south and west are all zoned RG-1 (General Residence
Zone) and are residential in nature, containing primarily one-family detached dwelling units
(single-family homes). These properties, like the subject properties, have a Land Use Category
designation of Mixed Use. Across Fulton Street to the north are the tennis courts for Wesley

College which are zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and have a Land Use Category of
Institutional.
Comprehensive Plan:
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends these
properties be used for Mixed Use. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan references Mixed Use Areas
on page 12-7 and encourages neighborhoods. The following is an excerpt from the 2019
Comprehensive Plan regarding Mixed Use land uses (page 12-8):
Recommendation for Downtown Dover – Historic Core and Center City: Mixed Use Area:
Downtown Dover is the City’s primary Mixed Use area. The historic City center clustered around
The Green dates back as early as the 1700s. It expands to also include the traditional City pattern
of grid streets which developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result of its earlier
development, Downtown Dover, like many other historic cities, includes a variety of intermingled
land uses. The Downtown area, which includes the traditional Loockerman Street business
district, is broadly bounded by Wesley College on the north, the railroad tracks on the west,
Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital on the south, and St. Jones River on the east. It includes a
street level mix of residential, commercial, office, cultural, and institutional uses.
Downtown Dover is the traditional and symbolic center of the community and is vitally important
to the overall image and identity of the City. As the State’s office complex and other businesses
and services make Downtown the largest area of employment in the City, Downtown Dover is
vital to the economy. It is important to preserve the area as a safe, convenient, and aesthetically
pleasing business environment. Downtown provides a unique and affordable commercial
environment where locally owned businesses reflect the small-town nature of the community.
Downtown also provides a residential environment with a wide variety of housing types near
commercial, cultural, education, and employment resources. The age of the buildings and
infrastructure in the Downtown area requires special attention and incentives to assist in continual
use and revitalization activities. Downtown lacks the vibrancy of years gone by and its
revitalization will hinge on mixed land uses and developing a commercial niche. Removal of
blighted conditions, rehabilitation and redevelopment of traditional residential areas, and
reestablishment of neighborhood identity will be important components of the City’s strategies
and initiatives.
The goal of the Land Development Plan is to enhance the role of Downtown Dover as a major
employment, residential and commercial center as well as the symbolic and cultural heart of the
community. Efforts should strive to recognize its unique heritage and historic resources and to
provide for mixed use development allowing greatest variation of uses, Activities to reestablish
the economic and social vitality of Downtown neighborhoods are encouraged.
The Rezoning Request is consistent with the Land Use Category of Mixed Use. Table 12-1: Land
Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following zones
are compatible with this land use classification.

24
Page 25
Item 2.
Z-20-02 Lands of NCALL at 35 and 39 N New St
FINAL DAC Report of November 4, 2020
Page 8
lots are created and to waive the bulk standards of article 4, section 4.2 for the placement

necessary for redevelopment of the subject property.
(c) The city planner shall have the authority to allow alternative parking surface, otherthan

alternative surfaceis used are located within a rear yard. The applicant must request such

Recommendation of the Planning Staff:
Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to RG-1 as requested, as the proposed zoning is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Mixed Use Land Use Category, and similarly
returns the zoning of the properties to be consistent with much of the surrounding zoning. The
proposed use of each property as one-family detached dwelling unit (single-family home) is a
permitted use in the RG-1 zone. Were the application for Rezoning to be recommended by the
Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still
have to submit Building Permits for review and approval before construction can commence.
The rezoning to RG-1 will also allow the applicant to submit a waiver request from the bulk
standards to allow for less restrictive setbacks for development of the property.
This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration.
ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a
Building Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application
submission is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover. The applicant should
contact the City of Dover Planning Office at (302) 736-7196 with any questions.
2) The applicant shall be aware that any future use of the existing structures may be subject to a
separate permitting or licensing process through the City of Dover Licensing and Permitting
Division. Certain types of uses also require a Public Occupancy Permit.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Office as soon as possible.

Hello City of Dover, Eric O'Brien here @ 30 N. New Str., re: 35 and 39 N. New Str. Rezoning Request--I vote in
favor of rezoning to RG-1 ; I like the idea of helping others, esp. "taking care of our own", but it seems the past 35
yrs of group housing have been very problematic for the neighborhood ; the recent improvements w/ new H4H
humanity homes have been amazing, so thank you to all involved ; I have ideas for helping w/ the nationwide
homelessness problem, w/out ruining traditional, owner/occupant neighborhoods, but I'm not a "decision maker"
[e.g., the 2nd-smallest state in the nation can't offer to take care of people from all over the country, incl. California
(ref. 30-yr-old article in Dover Post) ] . Good luck w/ everything... ¥ :-)

This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land totaling 1.08 +/- acres located on the
south side of W. Division Street opposite Ridgely Street. The property is zoned C-3 (Service
Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The owner of
record is Silver Linings Holding Corporation c/o Tolano Anderson and the equitable owner is
Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. Property Address: 630 W. Division Street. Tax Parcel:
ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000.
Existing Property:
The property has frontage along West Division Street to the north and contains a professional
office building. Vehicle access to the site is via a shared access with the neighboring property to
the east (650 West Division Street) off of West Division Street. While there is a sidewalk along the
West Division Street frontage, there is no dedicated pedestrian access from this sidewalk into the
site. Almost the entire property is either paved or covered by the existing building. The applicant is
seeking rezoning to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) to allow for an Emergency Shelter/
Temporary Housing Use (Dover Interfaith Mission). The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) will
remain. The previous owner and use (Offices for a Church) will remain in part of the building
space as a tenant. The change of use of the site will be subject to permit submissions. This
application only seeks rezoning of the property from C-3 to IO; the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay
Zone) designation will remain.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding parcels are all zoned commercial. The property immediately adjacent on the
east and south of the property is zoned C-3 and contains a mini-storage facility. Immediately
adjacent to the west is another property zoned C-3 which contains a car wash facility. Across
West Division Street to the north are properties again zoned C-3 and also C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone), containing a variety of commercial uses. The subject property, as well as the
surrounding parcels have a Land Use Category of Mixed Use. This is with the exception of the
parcels to north and east of the subject property (across West Division Street but immediately
east of Ridgley Street) which have a Land Use Category of Industrial.
Comprehensive Plan:
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends that this
property be used for Mixed Use. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan references Mixed Use land use
category on page 12-7. The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan
regarding Mixed Use land uses (page 12-8):
Recommendation for Downtown Dover – Historic Core and Center City: Mixed Use Area:
Downtown Dover is the City’s primary Mixed Use area. The historic City center clustered around
The Green dates back as early as the 1700s. It expands to also include the traditional City pattern
of grid streets which developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result of its earlier
development, Downtown Dover, like many other historic cities, includes a variety of intermingled
land uses. The Downtown area, which includes the traditional Loockerman Street business
district, is broadly bounded by Wesley College on the north, the railroad tracks on the west,
Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital on the south, and St. Jones River on the east. It includes a
street level mix of residential, commercial, office, cultural, and institutional uses.
37

Item 3.
Z-20-03 Lands of Telano D. Anderson at 630 W Division St
DAC Report of November 4, 2020
Page 3
Downtown Dover is the traditional and symbolic center of the community and is vitally important
to the overall image and identity of the City. As the State’s office complex and other businesses
and services make Downtown the largest area of employment in the City, Downtown Dover is
vital to the economy. It is important to preserve the area as a safe, convenient, and aesthetically
pleasing business environment. Downtown provides a unique and affordable commercial
environment where locally owned businesses reflect the small-town nature of the community.
Downtown also provides a residential environment with a wide variety of housing types near
commercial, cultural, education, and employment resources. The age of the buildings and
infrastructure in the Downtown area requires special attention and incentives to assist in continual
use and revitalization activities. Downtown lacks the vibrancy of years gone by and its
revitalization will hinge on mixed land uses and developing a commercial niche. Removal of
blighted conditions, rehabilitation and redevelopment of traditional residential areas, and
reestablishment of neighborhood identity will be important components of the City’s strategies
and initiatives.
The goal of the Land Development Plan is to enhance the role of Downtown Dover as a major
employment, residential and commercial center as well as the symbolic and cultural heart of the
community. Efforts should strive to recognize its unique heritage and historic resources and to
provide for mixed use development allowing greatest variation of uses, Activities to reestablish
the economic and social vitality of Downtown neighborhoods are encouraged.
The Rezoning Request is consistent with the Land Use Classification of Mixed Use. Table 12-1:
Land Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following
zones are compatible with this land use classification.
C-2 (Central Commercial) (Downtown

shall meet the following criteria:
(a) Superior urban design places a strict and primary importance on the pedestrian. The
concept should lend itself to interconnectivity while presenting building structures as
aspects of the street, not simply islands existing in the "sea of roads". The design should
encourage fewer car-trips, as well as promote automobile trips on an interconnected local
street system rather than trips that utilize the arterials. In demonstrating superior urban
design, an applicant must show that the plan presented exceeds the requirements of the
zoning ordinance in at least two of the following areas:
(i) Transportation amenities for bicycles, pedestrians and transit that exceed
those required by the zoning ordinance;
(ii) Architectural features including, but not limited to: LEED-certified buildings;
unique architecture not replicated in other locations; use of architectural elements
such as entry porticos, porte-cocheres, colonnades, cornices, porch columns and
balusters, band courses, coins, water tables and other trim that enhances visual
quality and function of the structure; and use of the highest-quality construction
materials.
(iii) Landscaping that exceeds the requirements of this section, including robust
use of trees, shrubbery, and flowering plants to screen parked cars; water
gardens and ponds; arboretums; tree preservation measures;
40

(iv) Public spaces and art including, but not limited to, sculpture, memorials,
murals, public court yards and pocket parks, and fountains;
(v) Green technologies for stormwater management, as well as green energy
technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling and solar energy supplies.
(b) The city planner shall develop policy guidance on how the concept of superior
urban design will be evaluated.
27.3 Zone boundaries. The COZ encompasses the lands adjacent to the following roadways as
outlined on the City of Dover Zoning Map as set forth in article 2, section 2 of this ordinance:
(a) Delaware Route 8 (Forrest and Division Streets) from the railroad tracks in a westerly
direction to the city limit line.
(b) McKee/Saulsbury Road (County Road 156) from the intersection at Dennys Road
(County Road 100) in a southerly direction to the terminal intersection with West North
Street (County Road 73).
27.4 Permitted uses. Land use shall be governed by those provisions of this ordinance related to
the specific zoning district designations of each property as depicted on the zoning map.
27.5 Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article
10, section 2 shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or
enlargement of all structures and prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any change
in use. When the zoning district regulations specify that a particular use requires conditional use
approval in accordance with article 10, section 1, the provisions of that article shall apply. Site
development plans and conditional use site plans for properties within the COZ shall reflect
compliance with the development guidelines of this article, in addition to all other applicable
codes and regulations.

Recommendation of the Planning Staff:
Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) while
retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) as requested, as the proposed zoning is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan for the Mixed Use land use classification. The use as an
Emergency Shelter/ Transitional Housing is a permitted use in the IO zone. Were the application
for Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by
the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Building Permits for the change of use
in order for the Emergency Shelter/ Transitional Housing use of the site to be established. During
that review process it will be determined if any site improvements are required.
This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration.
ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any rezoning application does not represent a
Building Permit, Sign Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate
application submission is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover.
2) The applicant shall be aware that any future use of the existing structures may be subject to a
separate permitting or licensing process through the City of Dover Licensing and Permitting
Division. Certain types of uses also require a Public Occupancy Permit.
If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the
above contact person and the Planning Office as soon as possible.

III. ZONING REVIEW
C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone)
The types of permitted uses in the C-PO Zone are given in Article 3 §26 of the Zoning
Ordinance. A business, professional or governmental office is a permitted use in C-PO.
COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone -1)
The subject site area involved with this application is located within the COZ-1. The Zoning
Ordinance details the requirements of the COZ-1 in Article 3 §27 and its subsections. The
Corridor Overlay Zone as a planning and growth management tool is designed to foster an
attractive, efficient, and economically vibrant urban corridor along Route 8/Forrest Avenue and
Saulsbury/McKee Roads. To this end, more stringent standards are applied to development
taking place in the corridor. A discussion of the provisions of the COZ-1 which apply to this
application follow below.
The compliance of the project with the COZ-1 requirements is discussed below.
• The COZ-1 specifies a required front yard setback for non-residential properties. This site
has three street frontages: Saulsbury Road, Walker Road, and Mont Blanc Boulevard. In
this case, the front setback is from Saulsbury Road and is a maximum of 50 feet. The
portion of the building fronting on Saulsbury Road complies with the minimum setback
of 40 feet and the maximum of 50 feet.
• The COZ-1 building must sit parallel to the road with the longest side facing the road; the
proposed building is triangular and has equal lengths parallel to both Saulsbury Road and
57

Walker Road.
• Achieves the following for the parking lot layout/arrangement: parking lot location is not
in the front yard setback or located between the building and the corridor frontages, and
the number of parking spaces versus islands is met.
• Building complies with the allowable number of stories and maximum permitted height
of 35 feet in the COZ-1.
• The proposal meets the requirement that a minimum of 25% of the lot consists of
landscaped open space. With a Lot Coverage of 64% (noted in the data column),
approximately 36% remains as open space.
• Width of parking lot islands meets the 10 feet requirement and the medians meet or
exceed the 8 foot width requirements for areas within the COZ-1.
• The project complies with the 6-foot sidewalk width and a landscaped area of at least 12
feet between the building and parking lot.
• Street frontages are required to have a landscaped open space of 25 feet and provide one
tree per 50 feet of frontage.
• Non-frontages in the COZ-1 are required to have landscaped open space of 15 feet when
adjacent to residential uses and landscaped open space of 5 feet when adjacent to non-
residential uses and to provide one tree per 75 feet.
IV. PARKING SUMMARY
Vehicle and Bicycle Parking
The minimum off-street parking requirement for the C-PO (Commercial Zone) is based upon the
square footage. It shall be provided at a rate of at least one (1) space per 300 square feet of floor
area (Article 4 §4.15). Based on 24,657 S.F., this property requires 83 spaces including four (4)
handicapped accessible spaces. The plan shows a total of 127 parking spaces. Five (5)
handicapped parking spaces are shown near the entrance to the building. The parking also
complies with the requirement that it not be located in the front yard and not between the
building and the right-of-way for the street (subject to the COZ-1). Bicycle parking is required at
a rate of one bicycle parking space per twenty parking spaces and will require seven (7) bicycle
parking spaces. Currently, a plan note indicates the intention of placing eight (8) bicycle parking
spaces.
Loading Spaces
The total size of the building requires one (1) loading space (Article 6 §4.22). This loading space
is shown at the west end of the building. The dimensions of this loading space meet the
requirements of Article 6 §4.
V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
Building placement requirements of the Corridor Overlay Zone are found in Zoning Ordinance,
Article 3 §27.62. It includes the requirement that the building be placed with the long side to the

Lighting
The location of the lighting is proposed in the form of light poles throughout the parking lot. The
office use would be considered a commercial use, thus requiring a minimum of 1.5 foot candles
at grade. The proposed lighting must be adequate to safely light all parking and pedestrian areas
yet must be shielded and directed as to not create a nuisance on the adjacent properties.
Dumpster Construction
A Dumpster pad site location for three (3) Dumpsters is depicted on the plan along the south
property line. The Dumpster enclosure materials are proposed as brick with wooden doors
(gates). Based on the size of the building, the code (Article 5 §6.12) would require three (3)
Dumpsters.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are shown as required along all the public street frontages of Walker Road and Mont
Blanc Boulevard. There is a multiuse path along Saulsbury Road. Barrier free access ramps are
installed at all points where sidewalks or multiuse paths intersect with roadways and parking
areas. This street frontage sidewalk on Mont Blanc Boulevard includes a sidewalk link leading
into the site. There are also connections into the site from Walker and Saulsbury Roads.
VI. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
The submission includes the requisite Architectural Elevation drawings (two renderings
submitted at time of application: view from parking area and view from road intersection). The
applicants are proposing a two story building with a flat roof. The entrance to the building is
located in the inside corner of the two building wings; this entrance facing the parking lot
consists of a glass window wall. Another entrance location is at the outside corner facing the
intersection of Walker Road and Saulsbury Road. At the ends of the building, glass window
elements provides additional access points. The building involves brick exterior wall surfaces
with EIFS panels. The brick detailing occurs at the foundation to mid-first floor height and also
for the full height vertical pilasters which divide the bays and mark the building corners. The
building is symmetrical in form with paired windows also detailed with contrasting lintels. The
east and north building elevations facing Saulsbury Road and Walker Road follow the detailing
pattern established on the entrance elevation which faces southwest into the parking lot.
This building is subject to the Architectural Review requirements found in Article 3 §27.69 for
properties located within the Corridor Overlay Zone. This section of code reflects the
amendments adopted November 13, 2006. See text below.
27.69 Architectural Review. The side of any building which faces the corridor (or corridors) shall
be referred to as the "corridor elevation." Buildings in the COZ-1 shall be designed to front on the
corridor, and the corridor elevation shall contain architectural elements traditionally associated
with the front of a building. Blank walls without functioning windows are prohibited along the
corridor. Windows must be incorporated into the overall design concept of the corridor elevation.
Providing one or several small windows on a large corridor elevation shall not constitute
compliance with this ordinance.
A “functioning window” shall be defined as a window which lets light into the interior of the
59

structure, and is integrated and related to the interior layout of the space. In addition to
functioning windows, the corridor elevation shall have the following elements:
a) A primary entrance door or doors (except for loading doors).
b) A primary entrance feature, such as a porch, portico, awning, entrance walk, or other similar
feature.
In addition, the corridor elevation shall have one of the following elements:
a) Landscaping integrated into the building design concept.
b) Architectural or urban design elements which link adjacent structures together, such as
plazas, walkways, colonnades, or similar features.
c) Architectural relief, such as vertical and horizontal off-sets in exterior wall elevations, band
courses, lintels and sill courses, cornices and the like to create shadow lines.
As currently proposed, the corridor elevation of this building includes an extensive number of
windows which qualify as functioning windows. With the architectural elevations showing
entrance doors and primary entrance feature of a canopy on the corridor elevation at the street
intersection, this project is in compliance with the code requirement. The plan as submitted
complies with the second requirement of the corridor elevation (items a and c) by providing
landscape shrub plantings immediately adjacent to the building and also providing a variety of
architectural relief on the corridor façade.
VII. TREE PLANTING AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
The submitted plan sheet set includes the requisite Landscaping Plan elements. Based on the
total site area of 113,692 S.F., thirty-eight (38) trees would be required. Sixty-six (66) tree
plantings are proposed meeting the requirements in the form of mix of deciduous, ornamental,
and evergreen trees. These tree planting locations should maintain appropriate separation
distances from utilities lines.
The landscape requirements for the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone –1) include at a minimum
25% of the site consist of landscaping and landscaped parking areas. For this site, 36% of the
site is landscaping or open space. White Fringe Trees and Dogwood trees are utilized for the
landscaping within the parking lot islands and medians. Article 3 §27.63(c) requires a landscaped
buffer area of twelve (12) feet in width between the building and the parking lot or drive areas
and also a six (6) foot wide sidewalk; this is shown on the Plan.
The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone –1) includes specific tree planting requirements along
property lines. One tree per fifty feet of frontage is required. This property with a frontage of 270
ft. +/- on Saulsbury Road would require five (5) trees. One tree per 75 feet is required on the
non-frontage perimeters for a total of five (5) trees on the north property line by Walker Road,
four (4) trees on the west property line by Mont Blanc Boulevard, and four (4) trees on the south
property line. For these areas, the canopy tree plantings consist of Southern Magnolia and
Willow Oak trees. A series of evergreen plantings of Chesapeake Japanese Holly and American
Arborvitae are also planted along the west and south property lines.
This parcel is across the street (Mont Blanc Boulevard) from residentially zoned parcels of land
60

S-20-12 Walker Pavilion at 101 Mont Blanc Boulevard
DAC Report – November 4, 2020
Page 6
(R-8 zoning). Article 6 §5.43 and Article 5 §7.23 note the same requirements for parking lots
near residential zones. These code sections require the following:
7.23 Parking Lots. Whenever a parking lot is located across the street from a residential use, it
shall be screened from view of such land by a thick hedge located along a line drawn parallel to
the street, such hedge to be interrupted only at points of ingress and egress and to meet the
corner visibility standards of appendix B, zoning, article 5, supplementary regulations, section
1.31. The open area between such hedge and the street shall be landscaped in harmony with the
landscaping prevailing on neighboring properties fronting on the same street. The hedge shall be
at least two feet in height at the time of planting and shall grow to no more than four feet in height
at the time of maturity. While the hedge is growing to a suitable height, an adjacent four foot high
fence may be required by either the planning commission or city planner, according to the type of
review required by appendix B, zoning, article 10, planning commission.
The landscape design includes the planting of Cherry Laurel immediately adjacent to the parking
spaces (in addition to the Chesapeake Japanese Holly along Mont Blanc Boulevard) where the
series of parking spaces results in vehicles parking facing the residential zone. The planting of
Cherry Laurel is also repeated in other locations adjacent to the parking lot.
As associated with the corridor elevation requirements discussed earlier, the plan proposes a
series of shrubs and other plantings immediately adjacent to the building. These plantings
include Cherry Laurel, Viburnum, Azaleas, Heavenly Bamboo, and Blue Princess Holly for
screening of vehicles.

IX. RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET
CODE OBJECTIVES:
In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §2.2, the Planning Commission in
considering and acting upon Site Development Plans may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards so that the public health, safety, and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the
public in general, and the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken
into consideration. These safeguards may to the maximum extent possible further the expressed
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the accomplishment of several objectives in particular listed
in subsections 2.21 to 2.28.
1) Pedestrian Connections
Staff recommends improvements to the pedestrian connection from Mont Blanc Boulevard to
the front of the proposed Office Building. Pedestrian safety could be increased while
crossing the parking area to get to the entrance of the Office Building. By realigning the
sidewalk from Mont Blanc Boulevard with the ends of the parking aisles and creating a
designated pedestrian crosswalk at the end of the parking aisles that would lead across the
parking lot and diagonally through the parking island at the front of the building towards
the entrance of the building would give pedestrians a safe passage though the parking area.
In short evaluate methods of clearly designating the pedestrian pathway i.e. sidewalk,
pavement striping or other treatment.

File Number: MI-20-04
Identification of Need for Regulations:
Background
Regulating airbnb’s/home-sharing/short-term rentals has become a major topic of discussion
across the county. Often referred to as Airbnb’s (Airbnb is a company whose business model and
name have become synonymous with a “shared or on-demand economy”), the issue involves the
use of dwellings for short-term residential rental opportunities. Whether under the Airbnb, Home
Away, Expedia, VBO or other business name, the business model is that a private property
owner offers a room or rooms for short term rental for overnight residential purposes at a low
price, with few accommodations, over the Internet. Often the owner is not present on the
property and the entire transaction occurs digitally. In a typical transaction, the general area
location (i.e. Greater Dover area) is posted on the Internet, a potential occupant responds and
pays electronically for the time/space desired.
90

DAC Report of November 4, 2020 Item 5.
Page 2 of 6
The payment is often made to a vendor who extracts a commission and forwards the funds to the
owner assuming the renter is satisfied with the accommodation; although, it is likely that many
transactions are directly between the parties. Following payment, the owner supplies a definite
address and a digital code allowing access to the property and to the specific room(s) which are
secured by a programmable or digital lock on each access door. The renter often has some access
to common areas, but no personal services are provided. The entire transaction may be
anonymous.
Concerns typically fall into a couple of categories. Because of the nature of the transaction it
may be difficult to determine who is using the premises, when they are doing so and for what
purposes. Additionally, because there are limited restrictions imposed by the owner, fire and life
safety standards may not be met. In many instances, the properties may not provide adequate
parking for visitors who often arrive at various times and frequency. The absence of an onsite
owner/manager/agent makes enforcement of noise, restrictions on pets, limitations on number of
occupants, and other restrictions hard to enforce.
These uses can become nuisances in a more traditional residential neighborhood. Because these
transactions are not regularly reported for licensing and taxation purposes, lodging and other fees
and taxes are also generally not collected, negatively impacting on local revenues. Other forms
of transient accommodation (hotels, traditional Bed and Breakfasts, rooming houses, etc.) require
inspection and licensing and are often subject to taxes, fees or other charges collected by the
local jurisdiction. Data collection limitations and the nature of the transactions make it difficult
to know the frequency of use, the conditions and restrictions that might apply, compliance with
life and fire safety requirements, or to impose any lodging tax (if applicable).
Jurisdictions across the country have attempted to regulate the Short-Term Rental business
through regulatory approaches which include some or all the following:
• Clear policy objectives and purposes or regulation
• Simple and enforceable regulations
• System of permit/rental licenses or similar form of tracking and regulating
• Specifications of where permitted (any or limited residential zone)
• Inspection required for life safety and sanitation
• Local contact person to address complaints on a 24/7 basis
• Owner occupancy provision
• Process for neighbor reporting of complaints
• Limitations on occupancy/people limits
• Control over party houses
• Good Neighbor rules/brochure
• Penalties and fines
Success in developing and implementing programs to regulate short-term rentals has been highly
variable, often with high enforcement requirements and low compliance.
Dover’s Situation
At any time, based solely on website inquiry, there appears to be over 100 listings for short-term
rentals in the greater Dover area. While these activities do not seem to generate a significant
number of complaints or problems, some short-term rentals have generated neighbor complaints
91
Page 92
MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses
DAC Report of November 4, 2020 Item 5.
Page 3 of 6
about extra cars parked on the street, trash, and occasionally noise (especially if the short-term
rental is used as a “party house”). Due to the way listings are placed and limitations on readily
available information, the City is generally unaware where or how often the use occurs until
issue rise to the level of complaint.
Code Review & Analysis
Dover does not directly currently regulate the matter of short-term residential rental uses. The
definition of “Dwelling Unit” (Appendix B, - Zoning, Article 12. Definitions) reads:
Dwelling unit: A building or entirely self-contained portion thereof containing complete
housekeeping facilities for only one family, including any domestic servants employed on
the premises, and having no enclosed space (other than vestibules, entrance or other
hallways or porches) or cooking or sanitary facilities in common with any other dwelling
unit. A boarding (house) or rooming house, convalescent home, dormitory, fraternity or
sorority house, hotel, inn, lodging, nursing or other similar home, travel trailer,
recreational vehicle, or other similar structures or vehicles shall not be determined to
constitute a dwelling unit.
The current definition of “Family” (Appendix B – Zoning, Article 12. Definitions) reads:
Family: One or more persons occupying a dwelling unit as a single nonprofit
housekeeping unit. More than five persons, exclusive of domestic servants, or not more
than one boarder or roomer, not related by blood, marriage or adoption shall not be
considered to constitute one family.
There are no Zoning Ordinance definitions applicable to boarding house, rooming house or
lodging house. Although, these terms may be covered through other ordinances and codes – i.e.
Building Codes and Life Safety Codes.
Rental Dwellings are regulated under Article X, Chapter 22 of the Dover Code of Ordinances. A
Rental Dwelling is defined as a “dwelling unit that is leased for occupancy to a person or persons
in exchange for monetary payment or provision of goods or services to the owner of the dwelling
unit.” A Rental Dwelling Permit (rental license) and inspection are required. The annual Rental
Dwelling Permit does not include any provisions limiting the term of occupancy, number of
times the unit can be rented during the year, or number of occupants (although the definition of
dwelling unit could be limiting). Termination of utility services and fines are established for
violations or failure to properly maintain the Rental Dwelling premises.
In summary, nothing in the Dover Code of Ordinances or Zoning Ordinance specifically
regulates short-term residential occupancies, but the combination of definitions and related
provisions on the surface would prohibit short term residential uses unless a property was
declared a rental unit, properly inspected and subject to the Rental Dwelling Permit with license
fee. Otherwise, the definitions of “dwelling unit” and “family” would collectively prohibit such
use. This creates at least three differing scenarios:
Scenarios:
• A unit occupied by the owner would be restricted by the definition of family and at most
could only have one boarder or roomer. It is unclear what the term “nonprofit” means in
that circumstance, but it would seem to restrict compensation. Short-term rental is most
likely illegal.
92
Page 93
MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses
DAC Report of November 4, 2020 Item 5.
Page 4 of 6
• A unit registered as a rental unit with a Rental Dwelling Permit in place would seem to be
available for rentals of any duration and potentially could meet the restrictions such that it
could function as a short-term rental/airbnb. Short-term rental might be legal.
• Use of a rental unit for short-term occupancy through a private sub-lease would also seem
legal under City Code, subject to landlord-tenant codes and private lease terms.
The immediacy of this issue results from one specific property (a single-family dwelling in an
older low-density residential neighborhood) being used as a short-term rental/airbnb creating
frequent complaints about traffic, parked cars, trash, noise, etc. There is an out of state owner
who does not live in the dwelling and appears to only be interested in the short term rental
revenue. A second dwelling in another part of the City has occasionally created complaints as
well.
“Airbnb’s” regardless of how they are listed or operate are not specifically permitted by City
regulation. So, the fallback is to address them on a case-by-case basis (compliant driven) and
where found use the Rental Dwelling Permit (rental license) provisions of the City Code.
Anyone determined to be operating an airbnb/short-term rental would be required to obtain a
rental license listing the property for rent and subject to a rental license inspection and fee in
Dover. They are not authorized as “Bed and Breakfast” operations as provided for in the Zoning
Ordinance. Therefore, they can be determined to be “illegal” and subject to Code Enforcement
unless covered by a rental license. Note: a longer-term rental typically involves a lease and
utility arrangements; a short-term rental typically does not involve either.
Proposed Text Amendments
Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Dover Code of Ordinances to Chapter
22, Division 3 – Short Term Rental Use include:
• Section 22-356 - In response staff has developed a proposed ordinance modelled on
similar approaches across the country which is based on the following stated purpose:
Purpose. The City of Dover wishes to permit the limited and temporary rental use
of single family residences in established areas of the City as an economic asset,
allowing for increased travel, visitation and tourism and affording property owners
of the opportunity to earn revenue from such occupancy, while ensuring that
such uses do not become a nuisance, that neighborhood character is not
compromised, and that such businesses are properly operated and maintained.
The purpose of this Division shall be to minimize public safety risks and noise,
trash and parking problems often associated with short-term rental uses; to
ensure that traditional neighborhoods are not turned into tourist areas to the
detriment of long-term residents; and to ensure that individual dwellings are not
turned into pseudo hotels or party houses.
• Section 22-357 - The Ordinance sets forth provisions allowing such uses of one family
dwellings as a matter of right. It adds definitions, including defining Short Term Rental
Uses (STRU) as rentals of less than 30 days, and creates a process for registration,
inspection and licensing.
• Section 22-358 - The most significant provisions are those set forth in Section 22-358
limiting a Short Term Rental Use (STRU) to a property owned and occupied as a primary
residence. This provision is aimed at limiting dwellings being used as businesses where
93
Page 94
MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses
DAC Report of November 4, 2020 Item 5.
Page 5 of 6
the owner may be a non-resident or as part of a corporate business activity. Nationwide
this has been the most effective provision for limiting the proliferation of these uses in
traditional neighborhoods.
• Section 22-359 - Provisions in Section 22-359 address occupancy, parking, guest
behavior, prohibition of nuisances, and other requirements aimed at minimizing adverse
impacts on the established residential neighborhood.
• Section 22-360 and 22-361 - Provisions in Sections 22-360 and 22-361 add enforcement,
fees and penalty provisions.
• Appendix F – Fees and Fines – This section is amended to establish the fees for a Short
Term Rental Use license and the penalties/fines.
• Chapter 22- Article IX, Section 22-281 - The Ordinance amends Chapter 22 - Buildings
and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses, Section 22-281 by adding the
words “inns, boardinghouses, rooming houses” to the definition to ensure consistency
throughout the Code.
Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (Dover Code of
Ordinances, Appendix B – Zoning) are as follows:
• Article 12 - The ordinance also amends Appendix B – Zoning, Article 12. Definitions by
removing the word “nonprofit” from the definition of “family.”
History of Committee and City Council Activity
The City Council Committee of the Whole: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee
participated in multiple discussions at various Committee Meeting beginning on February 25,
2020. Staff worked to refine the proposed Ordinance on Short Term Rental Uses in response to
the Committee discussions and other input from interested parties. The Ordinance had its First
Reading before Council on October 12, 2020 as Staff Substitute #2 with CCW #1 for Ordinance
#2020-05.
Because there is a Text Amendment proposed to the Zoning Ordinance, a Public Hearing and
Recommendation by the Planning Commission are required. City Council has referred the
Ordinance to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and consideration on November 16,
2020. Then it scheduled for Public Hearing and Final Reading by Council on December 14,
2020. At that meeting City Council may act to adopt the whole Ordinance, to adopt part of the
Ordinance, and/or to make other amendments to the proposed text.
Planning Review and Recommendations:
Planning Staff developed the proposed Ordinance for Short Term Rental Uses (STRU) at the
direction of City Council.
1. Staff continues to review the Proposed Ordinance in response to comments received from
Dover’s Office of the Fire Marshal and the Code Enforcement Division. There may be
additional clarifications necessary to ensure Fire Code Compliance.
2. Staff notes that proofreading corrections and text revisions may be necessary. These will
94
Page 95
MI-20-04 Text Amendment - Short Term Rental Uses
DAC Report of November 4, 2020 Item 5.
Page 6 of 6
be presented prior to final adoption.
3. The Planning Office provided an opportunity to Development Advisory Committee
(DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meetings on
October 28 and November 4, 2020. Most agencies had no comments except for the Office
of the Fire Marshal. These comments will be evaluated, and appropriate revisions offered
for consideration.
4. The Proposed Ordinance is also subject to Legal Review by the City Solicitor which may
identify additional clarifications or corrections.
5. Upon adoption, the Department of Planning & Inspection will be developing the
associated Short Term Rental Use License application forms, application and inspection
procedures and outreach materials.

COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE.
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESS BY THE
APPLICANT:
ADDITIONAL / SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN APPROVAL:
1. It needs to be determined if this is going to be considered a single-family rental or a lodging
and rooming house (should be based on building and fire code definitions).
2. If it is a single-family dwelling, eliminate all lodging and rooming house language. This
would then fall under a regular single-family rental license with the licensing department and
code enforcement office.
3. If it is a lodging and rooming house, please see below:
4. NFPA 101 definition of Lodging and Rooming House: A building or portion thereof that does
not qualify as a one- or two-family dwelling that provides sleeping accommodations for a
total of 16 or fewer people on a transient or permanent basis, without personal care services,
with or without meals, but without separate cooking facilities for individual occupants.
5. A one family dwelling that becomes a Lodging and Rooming House is a change in occupancy
classification. Plans from an authorized/licensed design professional are required to be
submitted to the Chief Building Inspector showing how code compliance will be achieved
with the new occupancy. This submittal needs to be approved by the Chief Building
Inspector. The one family dwelling would then need to be brought into code compliance
through the approved plans.
6. 22-357, Code Enforcement should not be checking for compliance with Life Safety and
Building codes (this would be done through number 5) unless it is a single-family rental.

being used? Most are owner occupied but only rent out a room.
b. Section 22-357 (c) What if they do not obtain a license? What is the recourse?
c. Section 22-359 (a) How are we going to enforce this? What will give us the authority
to check (if us)?
d. Section 22-359(b) Is PD on board with this? Will they actually issue tickets?
e. Section 22-360 and if the fines or fees are not paid?
