I hope everybody's enjoyed a little bit better weather the last couple of days.

So this is a public hearing for just Tuesday, September 8th.

It's proposed text amendment student housing district.

This proposed text amendment is intended to establish the standards needed for a new student housing district in chapter 9 zoning of city code as drafted.

Should the city decide in the future it is appropriate to rezone a property.

Oh and that's classes.

The district, the amendment itself will make no changes to the zone amount among the items of single housing district.

Sorry.

The amendment itself will make no changes to the zoning mat among the items addressed by the proposed amendments are.

And I know Jacob, you're gonna come and relay these proposed amendments.

Is that correct?

Okay.

Come on up.

Yeah.

You're ready, you know.

We were just like, yeah, yeah.

Okay, and then I'll remind everybody about public hearing up.

So again, this is part of our whole um you know, push to get ahead of developers and get out of the PD process to create one more tool for residential only.

So this is not the mixed use that we see going up and downtown.

This is not that type of development.

This is for residential apartment buildings only at a at a taller scale and a higher density than what we uh well, I guess comparable to what you see in the mixed use, but without the mixed use component of the commercial, and it is again like we said not to put it on the map at this time, but if we are um if we deem it appropriate or if somebody comes to us looking to do it, we have something in set up.

So these are the standards, this is what you're gonna be doing.

So we're talking um seven stories potentially, certain areas, maybe taller if you know certain district met good buffers, but it is a student centric district.

This is not a middle housing district, this is not a you know affordable housing.

This is the implement where we think student housing should

go.

I don't know what the name of it is.

Um

Earl Street,

Earl Street.

Earl Street has commercial too.

Okay,

so we don't really have to say

do we have anything that

I mean the biggest that I can give you an example are the lofts over on, but they're still only four stories of the tallest, so they're not really that you know what we're talking about.

So um, no, we don't have anything like this to grade that as an option.

It seems like there's a series of layers in there.

There's in each each variation of it, there's a series of layers and a series of different hype groups.

That's correct, different conditions, um, different

access points, uh those other things.

So it's you know, if you're not you're not going to let you do seven stories if you're going through a neighborhood, you know.

That's not happening.

But um, if you can get direct access out to a major road, and it's not gonna be a butting up against um properties, then that might be an option.

Okay, are you putting the parameters on this really tight when you say located on a CAT bus or other approved mass transit route within one half mile of Clemson University owned portion of highway 93?

Yeah, so that is keeping it very close to campus, correct.

So uh half mile uh from the university on 93 within a half mile.

So that like so I guess an example basically where it reaches out to you

know

the area that's been called kind of Bob's triangle over there, um Kelly Road.

Yeah, okay.

That's about half a mile.

Okay.

Yeah, so from college heights up through to triangle through the tiger bubble bath, which is slaving Clemson next.

That was identified next.

Yeah, that was identified as

if you if you want to know where we're thinking about doing it, if you look at Clemson next, yeah.

But uh well, but you know, my point is is it you know is all right.

How about if is um point six tenths of a mile

from

Clemson University?
