19. Petition of Miles Hansford, LLC on Behalf of J. Underwood for a Zoning Map Amendment to Rezone 279.2 Acres at 100 Little Neck Road (PIN 21007 02003) from R-A-CO (Residential Agriculture-County) and Planned Community Business-County (P-B-C-CO) to Planned Development (PD) with Conditions (File No. 23-003457-ZA).

Description

The Petitioner is requesting approval to rezone 100 Little Neck Road from Residential Agriculture- Annexed County (R-A-CO) and Planned Community Business-County (P-B-C-CO) to Planned Development (PD) to develop the subject parcel as a mixed-use Planned Development in accordance with the City of Savannah 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

The Keller Planned Development (Keller PD) is proposed to contain pods with designated uses of: Commercial, Retail Village, Multi-Family Residential, Senior Living, Park Open Space, and Wetland/Salt Marsh. Commercial development will consist of self-storage facilities (36,000SF), general retail (145,485SF), beauty or nail salon (6,477SF), fast casual restaurant (34,228SF), high turnover sit-down restaurant (5,600SF), fast food restaurant with drive-through window (6,300SF), and convenience store/gas station (5,670SF store and 20 fueling stations). Residential development will consist of 534 multifamily housing units and 308 senior living housing units.

On December 22, 2022, the City adopted and approved the annex of four parcels in Chatham County (PINs 11007 01009, 11007 01010, 11007 01011, and 11007 01014). The subject parcel (PIN 21007 02003) is a combination of these four parcels. The petitioner filed the application to rezone the parcel to PD in June 2023. The application review period was extended to allow time to complete the Development of Regional Impact (DRI # 4041), hold a neighborhood meeting, and complete a traffic study. The proposed Keller PD is south of the Hopeton Landing PD (480 acres) which was annexed into the City in 2019 with the PD zoning approval occurring in 2021.

Recommendation

The Planning Commission recommends approval of the request to rezone to Planned Development (PD) with conditions:

Planning Commission approval of a General Development Plan consistent with the conceptual site plan approved with the petition; and
Implementation of recommendations from the submitted Traffic Impact Study and developer contribute their pro-rata-share to the addendum improvements on the roadways.
