Public Service Committee Meeting 7/10/2018 1:00 PM ADOPT 2012 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, AND GEORGIA AMENDMENTS Department:Planning & Development Presenter:Rob Sherman Caption:Request approval to adopt by reference the International Property Maintenance Code 2012 Edition and Georgia Amendments, with the exclusion of (IPMC) Chapter I Administration and Enforcement; and request approval to adopt International Property Maintenance Code Administration and Enforcement, Sections 7-1-140.1 through 7-1-153.2. Background:The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) administers the Construction Codes, both the mandatory and optional Codes. DCA adopted the IPMC 2012 Edition with an effective date of January 2015. The International Property Maintenance Code is an optional code that local governments may choose to adopt. When adopting the code, Chapter I is not adopted by reference but is adopted by ordinance so that it can be tailored to the local government’s needs. Analysis:The adoption of the IPMC 2012 Edition and Georgia Amendments will provide codes for regulating property maintenance. In addition, Chapter I Administration and Enforcement, includes a section that provides a penalty for re- occupying a property prior to correcting identified code violations.

Bonner, hereby certifies that the foregoing Ordinance was duly adopted by the Augusta, Georgia Commission on ________________, 2018 and that such Ordinance has not been modified or rescinded as of the date hereof and the undersigned further certifies that attached hereto is a true copy of the Ordinance which was approved and adopted in the foregoing meeting(s). ______________________________ Lena J. Bonner, Clerk of Commission Published in the Augusta Chronicle. Date: _________________________ WAIVE SECOND READING “EXHIBIT A” Sec. 6-2-15. Sunday Sales. (a) The sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized for consumption on-premises in eating establishments, or inns, as defined herein, on Sundays between the hours of 12:30 p.m. 11:00 AM and 2:00 a.m. Monday. Where the sale of alcoholic beverages is in conjunction with the sale of food, the aforesaid hours of sale shall be applicable only to the sale of alcoholic beverages and not applicable to the sale of food; provided however, no alcoholic beverage shall be allowed to remain on any bars, tables, or be in possession of patrons after 2:30 a.m. Monday, and the inventory of alcoholic beverages must be secured as described in section 6-2-17 of this Ordinance. For the purpose of this subsection, eating establishment shall mean an establishment which is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises and which derives at least fifty (50) percent of its total annual gross food and beverages sales from the sale of prepared meals or food, and shall further mean a restaurant meeting criteria for license eligibility provided in section 6-2-52. For the purpose of this subsection, inn means an establishment which is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages and which derives at least fifty (50) percent of its total annual gross income from the rental of rooms for overnight lodging. (b) The Augusta-Richmond County Commission recognizes the value of the Masters Tournament to tourism and recruitment of industry and business to Augusta, Georgia: that entertainment of visitors to Augusta during the Masters Tournament, including the Sunday immediately preceding the Masters Tournament and the Sunday of the Masters Tournament is an important resource to Augusta; and that allowing “eating establishments” and “inns”, that are not otherwise licensed for Sunday sales, to sell alcoholic beverages on the Sunday immediately preceding the Masters Tournament and the Sunday of the Masters Tournament enhance the ability of Augusta to attract tourism, economic development, and industry and businesses. Therefore, “eating establishments” and “inns” as provided in subparagraph (a) hereof, shall be allowed to secure a special license authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverages, for which they are otherwise licensed, on the Sunday immediately preceding the Masters Tournament and the Sunday of the Masters Tournament. The fee for such permit shall two hundred dollars ($200.00) per Sunday , and application for same must be made as provided in Augusta-Richmond County Code § 6-2- 77 at least thirty (30) days in advance of the such event. The license provided for herein shall be in addition to any other license granted under Augusta-Richmond County Code § 6-2-77 or any other section of this Chapter. (c) Policy Statement. The intent of this Sunday Sales Ordinance is to allow those full service restaurants that serve the public to sell alcoholic beverages with the meals on Sunday. It is not the intent of this Ordinance to encourage neighborhood taverns and bars to serve alcoholic beverages on Sunday via the mechanism of serving incidental meals on Sunday.

Public Service Committee Meeting 7/10/2018 1:00 PM Central Business District - Proposed Parking Options Department:Planning & Development Presenter:Rob Sherman Caption:Consider parking options, requirements, issues and solutions for businesses that desire to open in the Central Business District. Background:At the June 12, 2018 Public Services Committee meeting the Planning & Development department was directed to provide options for parking concerns in the Central Business District. Analysis:The regulations for off-street parking requirements for the Central Business District (CBD) are in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. • The CBD is defined as the area from the Levee Road from Gordon Highway to Fifteenth Street; Fifteenth Street from Levee Road to Greene Street, Greene Street from Fifteenth Street to Thirteenth Street, Thirteenth Street from Greene Street to Telfair Street, Telfair Street from Thirteenth Street to Gordon Highway, and Gordon Highway from Telfair Street to Levee Road. • Public or semipublic parking lots and garages available for general use and metered parking spaces within 300 feet of the proposed use may be applied toward the total off-street parking spaces needed. • All provisions set forth in Section 4-1 and 4-2 shall apply to the area described as the CBD, with the exceptions provided for in Section 4-3 c (1-4). • The Planning Commission may, at its discretion, reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required for a specific use by Section 4-3(c) provided that sufficient evidence is presented justifying the need for a reduction in the requirements and every effort has been made to provide off-street parking in accordance with the stipulations of this section. • Reduction in Number of Required Off-Street Loading Spaces. The Planning Commission may, at its discretion, reduce the minimum number of loading spaces required for a specified use by Section 4-5(a) through 4-5 (e) above provided that sufficient evidence is presented justifying the need for reduction in the requirements and every effort has been made to provide off-street loading in accordance with the stipulations of this section. • Currently: Nonconforming Parking and Loading Spaces: Any building lawfully in use on February 4, 1974, shall constitute a nonconforming use with regard to parking. Any enlargement of a nonconforming building or expanded use of a nonconforming building must provide the required parking for the additional area or use. o The requirement is that any enlargement of a nonconforming building or an expanded use of a nonconforming building must provide the required parking either on-site, public parking areas or leased parking spaces. Any new building is required to provide parking onsite. o Except in the case of a new building and parking provided on site, the parking requirement for expanded use of a nonconforming building is not enforceable. OPTIONS for CONSIDERATION 1. Nonconforming Parking – Central Business District: Any building existing on February 4, 1974 shall constitute a nonconforming use with regard to parking. The increased square footage of the nonconforming structure and/or the construction of a new building will require on-site parking compliance with the parking regulations for the new square footage area. (Expanded use within the existing square footage does not require parking requirement.) 2. Central Business District: All uses are exempt from the parking requirements (includes existing structures, additions, new structures, and expanded uses). However, prior to issuance of any building permit for a new building, additional square footage for an existing building, or the expanded use of an existing building, the applicant shall submit to the Planning & Development Department Director an estimate of the parking requirements that the new building, expanded building, or expanded use is expected to generate, and an indication of where or how that parking will be provided. Applicants, for projects that may generate the need for forty (40) or more parking spaces, that cannot provide how parking needs will be accommodated will be denied building permits. The applicant may appeal the permit denial to the Planning Commission. 3. Central Business District: all uses are exempt from the parking requirement, including existing buildings, additions, new structures, and expanded uses. 4. Central Business District: all uses, including existing structures, additions, new structures, and expanded uses, are temporarily exempt from the parking requirement until the Parking Management Plan is implemented. PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. The success of either Option 1, Option 2, or Option 3 is dependent on the implementation of a Parking Management Plan.

Background:If approved, Mead and Hunt will continue providing a myriad of Airport/Aviation Consulting and Management services that includes engineering, construction management, design, planning, environmental, etc. In AGS’ current staffing model, this consultancy is crucial for the execution of the Airport’s Development and Capital Improvement Program (CIP).Per Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements, these types of services are required to be competitively solicited at least every five (5) years.In December 2017, the Airport resolicited, via request for qualifications, for Aviation Consulting Services. The Airport received five (5) compliant bids and, through the evaluation process, Mead and Hunt scored highest. On March 29 and April 26, 2018, the Aviation Commission approved two separate sixty (60) day agreements with Mead and Hunt to allow contractual continuity while staff continued through the negotiation phase. Analysis:The operational terms of the new agreement essentially replicate those of the previous agreement. The overall rates for services reflect a nominal Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase since the most recent adjustment in 2016. The new agreement also captures some positional changes reflective of Mead and Hunt’s current staffing model as well as the Airport’s needs. The unit costs for these services are also reviewed and kept on file with the FAA’s District Office and, as part of their review, they ensure consistency with industry and regional standards Financial Impact:Attachment Provided Alternatives:To Deny Recommendation:Airport Commission and Staff recommends Approval. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: The City and Airport intend to partially fund projects with aid from the FAA, AIP Program, GDOT, CFC's and PFC's. REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.
