4 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Corridor Improvement Authority Overview: The 2005 State of Michigan Corridor Improvement Authority Act (Act 280 of 2005) allows for the establishment of a Corridor Improvement Authority (CIA) and District. The intention of the act is to support corridor based business districts through public improvements, historic preservation, and the encouragement of private investments. A CIA can utilize Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool to fund improvements in the district. TIF is the capture of property tax revenue generated above the base amount established at the formation of the CIA. 1.2 Purpose of CIA & Need: The Master Plan characterizes Grand River Avenue as one of the most influential and historic thoroughfares in Southeast Michigan, but also recognizes it as a corridor that now requires an intentional effort to help it transition from its industrial origins to meet the City's current and future needs. Newer developments on the corridor, such as Providence Park Hospital and the Suburban Collection Showplace, reflect the beginning of a shift in the character of the corridor and land uses that better support today's economy. However, a large portion of the Grand River Corridor is still zoned for industrial or office uses, which limits further economic development opportunities. Additionally, the corridor currently lacks the amenities to promote the City of Novi's unique character, assets, and overall community image that the City wishes to portray. As an implementation of the recommendations put forward in the City's Master Plan, and after determining that the Grand River Corridor meets the criteria for a CIA, the City formed the CIA, also known as the Authority. The City and the Authority then embarked on the development of this Plan to provide direction on public investment that would spur private investment. Overall, the City and the Authority wish to: 1 .Build on and reaffirm what has already been done as part of the master planning process. 2. Ensure the vision and goals for the corridor are grounded in market realities. 3. Create a unified district through a shared brand identity that includes signature gateways and streetscape elements. 4. Identify and plan for projects that can be catalysts for economic growth, further concepts presented in Master Plan. 5. Create a guide with clear priorities that aligns with future funding opportunities. 6. Generate stakeholder support for improvement to the corridor. 1.3 Formation of CIA: On December 4, 2017 the City of Novi passed a resolution to create the Novi Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority and District (a copy of the resolution is found in Appendix A). Following this, in accordance with PA 280 of 2005, the City identified members of the Authority. Authority members include representatives of City administration, business owners along the corridor, and residents of the district. 1.4 Powers of the Authority Section 11(1) of the Act details the powers of the Authority, as follows: Plan and propose the construction, renovation, repair, remodeling, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, or reconstruction of a public facility, an existing building, or a multiple-family dwelling unit which may be necessary or appropriate to the execution of a plan which, in the opinion of the board, aids in the economic growth of the development area. • Plan, propose, and implement an improvement to a public facility within the development area to comply with the barrier free design requirements of the state construction code promulgated under the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act, 1972 PA 230, MCL 125.1501 to 125.1531. • Develop long-range plans, in cooperation with the agency that is chiefly responsible for planning in the municipality, designed to halt the deterioration of property values in the development area and to promote the economic growth of the development area, and take steps as may be necessary to persuade property owners to implement the plans to the fullest extent possible • Implement any plan of development in the development area necessary to achieve the purposes of this act in accordance with the powers of the authority granted by this act. Make and enter into contracts necessary or incidental to the exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties. • On terms and conditions and in a manner and for consideration the authority considers proper or for no consideration, acquire by purchaser otherwise, or own, convey, or otherwise dispose of, or lease as lessor or lessee, land and other property, real or personal, or rights or interests in the property, that the authority determines is reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes of this act, and to grant or acquire licenses, easements, and options.

5 • Improve land and construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, restore and preserve, equip, improve, maintain, repair, and operate any building, including multiple-family dwellings, and any necessary or desirable appurtenances to those buildings, within the development area for the use, in whole or in part, of any public or private person or corporation, or a combination thereof. • Fix, charge, and collect fees, rents, and charges for the use of any facility, building, or property under its control or any part of the facility, building, or property, and pledge the fees, rents, and charges for the payment of revenue bonds issued by the authority. Lease, in whole or in part, any facility, building, or property under its control. Accept grants and donations of property, labor, or other things of value from a public or private source. Acquire and construct public facilities. Conduct market research and public relations campaigns, develop, coordinate, and conduct retail and institutional promotions, and sponsor special events and related activities. Contract for broadband service and wireless technology service in a development area. 1.5 Planning Process The Corridor Improvement Authority Act authorizes the Authority to develop long-range plans, designed to promote the economic growth of the development area, which is the intention of this Plan. Additionally, Oakland County has adopted certain performance standards, which determine whether the County participates in the TIF. One of the standards requires the City to adopt/amend the Community Master Plan to accurately incorporate the Corridor Improvement Authority Plan. Accordingly, a specific section focused on the Grand River Corridor is included in the City's recently adopted Master Plan, which is presented in Appendix B. Building from the work that had already been completed, the process for this Plan began with an examination of the Master Plan. The City's Master Plan planning process also served as the public engagement foundation for this effort, given the Master Plan process took place just prior to the development of this Plan. Finally, the goals for Grand River Corridor included in the Master Plan serve as this Plan's foundation. This planning process also involved guidance, input, and approval from a Steering Committee consisting of representatives of various City departments, including administration, planning, assessing, geospatial applications, finance, and information technology. The consultant team worked with the Steering Committee to characterize the existing conditions of the corridor, develop design concepts for the gateways and streetscaping, establish a tax baseline, and prioritize projects for the next 20 years. During the planning process, members of the Steering Committee and consultant team also met with representatives from City Council, the Planning Commission, Oakland County Road Commission, and Oakland County to ensure coordination and support of this Plan. In addition, to solidify that the direction of this Plan is well supported, the Steering Committee and consultant team engaged business and property owner stakeholders along the corridor to gather input and test ideas. As part of this outreach, a business and property owner stakeholder meeting was held. The business and property owner stakeholder meeting occurred on September 12, 2017. During this meeting, the consultant team presented the preliminary direction of the Plan and solicited feedback. Participants in the meeting emphasized interest in safer and more convenient pedestrian crossings, public gathering spaces, and place making as it relates to elevating an identity within corridor districts and the along the corridor as a whole. Input from this meeting was key to finalizing and prioritizing the projects proposed in the next section of this Plan. 1.6 District Boundary The boundaries for the Corridor Improvement District extend the length of the City from Wixom Road to Haggerty Road as shown in the map included in Appendix C, which also contains a Listing of parcels in the District. 1.7 District History & Character Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre-freeway roads in the state of Michigan. It originated as a foot pathway. In the middle of the 19th century, the state developed the trail into a plank road that formed the basis for M-16, one of the first state trunk line highways in the early 20th century. City of Novi - Grand River Corridor improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
6 Today, Grand River Avenue cuts across the Lower Peninsula in a northwest—southeast fashion from near Grand Rapids to Detroit. In Detroit, Grand River is one of five major avenues (along with Woodward, Michigan, Gratiot, and Jefferson) planned by Judge Augustus Woodward in 1805 that extended from Downtown Detroit After completion of 1-96 in 1962, Grand River Avenue lost its state highway status along most of its length. However, the roadway remains the "Main Street" of over a dozen Michigan cities and a scenic route through one of the states most populated corridors. Within the City of Novi, Grand River Avenue is owned by the Oakland County Road Commission, parallels 1-96 and is about .25 miles to the south of the freeway. Under the National Functional Classification scheme of rating highways, the corridor is designated a major arterial. Given the proximity of Grand River Avenue to 1-96, the corridor services as a freeway overflow route when incidents block or congest 1-96. Originally, much of the length of Grand River Avenue in Novi was either 2-lanes or 3-lanes. However, the earlier advent of the 3- lane type of cross section, which originated in the 1930s, allowed motorist to pass slower vehicles by using the center lane. Given the known safety problems with the old 3-lane configurations, much of the corridor was widened to 4-lanes with two travel lanes in each direction. Eventually, the convention of having a continuous center lane for opposing left turns gained traction in the 1970s and a significant portion of Grand River Avenue was widened to 5-lanes. This wider cross section extends from west of Wixom Road to east of Novi Road. Having been originally developed to serve as a freeway and following the typical road expansion standards of decades past, Grand River Avenue has limited non-motorized facilities, with the exception of sidewalks. However, the sidewalks are not fully connected, making pedestrian travel along the corridor difficult. Additionally, transit is not available along Grand River Avenue. This limits of the use of the corridor primarily to private automobile users. Since the road functions as a major automobile thoroughfare, accessibility, vibrancy, and place making is hindered, which are elements vital to thriving in today's economy. 1.8 Looking Ahead With the formation of the CIA and the adoption of this Plan, the City commits to ushering in a new era for the corridor that establishes Grand River Avenue as an economically thriving area and a destination-based, community centerpiece. City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
7 2.0 Development Plan 2.1 Master Plan Vision & Goals The general vision for the corridor proposed in the Master Plan is to move it from an auto-oriented suburban roadway to a vibrant, thriving, artery for economic activity that utilizes land efficiently and provides housing, jobs, entertainment, and shopping for Novi residents. The City also envisions the Grand River Corridor as a gateway into the community that is welcoming to visitors and leaves a strong impression that Novi is a premier place to live, visit, and conduct business. As a start to accomplishing this vision, the City wishes to link the six activity centers identified in the Master Plan with physical connections for motorized and non-motorized travel, as well as installing design elements that create a distinct, yet uniform identity for the corridor. In addition to linking the activity centers, the Master Plan proposes the following nine goals for the corridor: Goal 1: Improve Transportation Connections o Creating more effective and efficient connections throughout the corridor, as well as to and from other areas in Novi and 1-96 will be important. To achieve this goal, the Plan supports the City's Non-Motorized Transportation Plan and identifies other opportunities to enhance Non-Motorized Travel in and around the corridor. The City should work with other communities along the corridor to extend regional transit, primarily bus rapid transit (BRT), from communities to the southeast through Novi and beyond. Goal 2: Expand and Improve Open Spaces o Opportunities exist in the corridor to create a network of public and private open spaces. This will include the incorporation of construction and natural stormwater management and wetland areas as well as required landscape screening into plazas, pocket parks, and trails that encourage walking and cycling throughout the corridor. New development and redevelopment should allow creation and enhancements of usable, attractive, and welcoming public, quasi-public, and private spaces, include the spaces between buildings that provide pedestrian access. These spaces will contribute to community open spaces as well as contribute to the corridor's identity. Goal 3: Create Pedestrian-Oriented Development o To encourage pedestrian and bicycle access throughout the corridor, as well as to create a unique identity for the corridor, development and redevelopment should ensure that buildings and sites are designed with people in mind and provide the scale, visual interest, and details that result in interesting, safe, comfortable, and attractive spaces. Goal 4: Create Sustainable Development o The Grand River Corridor can serve as a model for highly sustainable and innovative development. Buildings and sites should be efficiently designed, minimizing impacts to stormwater and existing natural features. Infrastructure and site design should proactively address energy and water conservation. Goal 5: Promote Economic Diversity o A diverse economic base is envisioned to ensure sustainability and long-term economic health of the area and the City. This should include a mix of office, research and development, light manufacturing, retail, services, hotels, entertainment, and residential uses. Smaller spaces for start-up businesses are also encouraged. Goal 6: Promote Retail, Entertainment, and Culture o The Grand River Corridor will be a job center, but will also provide residential, retail, lodging, arts, and entertainment near the highest concentrations of jobs and along future transit routes, primarily in the Town Center, Showplace, and Hospital activity centers. Goal 7: Provide Housing Options o The City of Novi is well known in the region for its thriving single-family neighborhoods, but alternative housing types can serve two segments of the population that may wish to live in a different setting: Millennia's and Empty Nesters. Housing in the Grand River Corridor will provide small to medium-sized housing and will fit the low-maintenance needs of both age groups. Opportunities for social interaction will be an important feature of housing in the Grand River Corridor. Goal 8: Maintain Standards for High Quality Building Design and Materials o Building design and materials will be similar to those found throughout the City. Brick, stone, glass, wood, and similar materials will be the primary building materials in the Grand River Corridor. Goal 9: Create an Identity for the City o Through innovative and unique streetscape elements, unify the six activity centers to create a comprehensive corridor that encourages civic pride for Novi residents as well as creates an image of the city as a thriving, modern place to live, work, and play.

8 2.2 Development Plan Requirements Section 21 of the Corridor Improvement Authority Act (Act 280 of 2005) requires certain information to be provided in the Development Plan. The subsections that follow address these requirements. Requirement 1, Section 21(2)(a) - The designation of boundaries of the development area in relation to highways, streets, streams, or otherwise. • The City established boundaries of the Grand River Development Area and these boundaries were approved by City Council in Resolution CM 17-1 2-1 83 on December 4, 2017, which is provided in Appendix A. • The Development Area generally includes properties fronting Grand River Avenue from its border from Wixom to Haggerty Road. The legal description and map of the area is provided Appendix C. The map depicts the boundaries of the Development Area in relation to highways, streets, streams, or other aspects of the Area. Requirement 2, Section 21(2)(b) - The location and extent of existing streets and other public facilities within the development area, designating the location, character, and extent of the categories of public and private land uses then existing and proposed for the development area, including residential, recreation, commercial, industrial, educational, and other uses, and including a legal description of the development area. • Appendix C identifies the existing streets within the Development Area. • The Master Plan characterizes existing land use along the corTidor. Examining the corridor in two sections, the Master Plan's findings include: o Wixom Road to Taft Road Land use patterns tend to be less dense than the eastern segment of the corridor; newer development tends to feature large setbacks from the road. Proximity of interstate highway interchanges provides regional access for this segment of the corridor. Newer land uses in this segment tend to sow a regional population. • Considerable vacant land provides opportunities for development; underutilized parcels exist, but may not be redeveloped as easily as vacant land. There are not many housing developments in this portion of the corridor. Single-family developments exist to the south. There are opportunities to add denser housing types in this area. o Taft Road to Haggerty Road In the Town Center Area land use patterns tend to be denser with smaller buildings than in the western segment Land uses in this area tend to target a local market. There is limited interstate access in this section of the corridor. Some vacant parcels could offer development opportunities. Development is more likely to occur on vacant parcels before redevelopment of underutilized or obsolete parcels. o For future land use, the Master Plan identifies and proposes six land use activity centers along the corridor: • Gateway Shopping West: This activity center is at the western gateway to the City of Novi and contains discount department store shopping and automobile-oriented uses that serve the local and nearby populations with access to 1-96. The center is generally developed with stand-alone uses and parking. • Hospital Center: This activity center is located between the Gateway Shopping West center and Beck Road. It contains Providence Park Hospital and medical-related uses, including offices, and clinics. It has a large community shopping center and senior living center. It is a regional destination with easy access to 1-96. Showplace Center: This activity center is located on Grand River, between Beck and Taft Roads, and contains the Suburban Collection Showplace, a regional convention center that draws thousands of visitors each year to the area. The center contains the exhibition/convention center, lodging, and fairgrounds for the Michigan State Fair. Office, industrial, and retail uses are nearby. Flexible Industry Center: This activity center is located around Taft Road and is comprised of a variety of office, light industrial, and manufacturing uses that pre-date most of the development in the area of Grand River, west of Novi Road. Town Center District. This activity center focuses on Novi Road and contains a mix of retail, restaurant office, and residential uses in a walkable sefting. City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
9 Grand River East: This activity center extends from Town Center to the eastern gateway to the City of Novi at Haggerty Road. Generally, uses in this area are a mix of office, restaurant, personal services, and retail aimed at Novi residents. North-south roads, including Meadowbrook and Haggerty Roads, provide the primary access to this area. o More details on the future land use proposed for the corridor is included in Appendix B, the Grand River Corridor section of the Master Plan. Additionally, the proposed Zoning Overlay found in Appendix D provides insight into planned land use from a regulatory standpoint. Requirement 3, Section 21(2)(c)— A description of the improvements in the development area to be demolished repaired, or altered, a description of any repairs and alterations, and an estimate of the time required for completion. • To accomplish the goals established for the District, the CIA has identified a variety of projects which are described in detail in Section 21 (2)(d). Requirement 4, Section 21 (2)(d) — The location, extent, character, and estimated cost of the improvements including rehabilitation contemplated for the development area and an estimate of the time required for completion. Appendix E presents further detail on Catalyst Projects, Streetscaping & Strategies, Mobility Projects, Economic Development Projects, and Administration, including location and cost estimates. However, it should be noted that the estimated cost of improvements have been developed without detailed engineering design or specific knowledge of field conditions, which may affect project costs. Therefore, cost estimate and time frames are subject to change. Requirement 5, Section 21(2)(e)— A statement of the construction planned, and the estimated time of completion of each stage. The projects outlined in Appendix E are categorized by priority. However, the exact timing of these projects will be dependent on the amount of incremental tax revenues generated in the District, the timing, amount, the potential issuance of bonds, if pursued, and/or the securing of applicable grant dollars from State, Federal, or other granting sources. Requirement 6, Section 21(2)(0 — A description of any parts of the development area to be left as open space and the use contemplated for the space. The City and the Authority will work to create open, natural, and community gathering spaces along the corridor in concert with development. Open space requirements that add to the beautification, preservation of natural systems, and public enjoyment of the corridor will be tied to zoning and site plan approvals. Public gathering spaces will be activated by outdoor furniture, sculptures, and other attractions that will either be connected to businesses or created through a public private partnership. The City will encourage property owners and developers to include these types of spaces in their improvement or development pians, and the City will work with property owners and developers to optimize both private and public benefits The City will also work to uphold Oakland County's Green Infrastructure Vision by applying protections and best stormwater management practices on the lands identified by the County as Green Infrastructure hubs, sites, and links. The Oakland County Green Infrastructure Vision is found online at: httris.//www.oakc1ov.corniadvantacleoakiandiresources/Documents/Maps/p1 pi poster. pclf. Requirement 7, Section 21(2)(g)— A description of any portion of the development area which the authority desires to sell, donate, exchanges or lease to or from the municipality and proposed terms. • Not Applicable Requirement 8, Section 21(2)(h)— A description of desired zoning changed and changes in streets, street levels, intersections, traffic flow modifications, or utilities. VVithin its five-mile length, there are thirteen separate zoning districts occupying frontage along Grand River. Two significant uses include Providence Medical Center and the Suburban Showplace, which generate substantial activity and will likely continue to be catalysts for further development. Industrial activity ranges from manufacturing plants to mining and warehousing concentrated near the center and at the east end of the corridor. Industrial zoning accounts for the largest zoning classification. Despite the intensity of existing development, a mature single-family neighborhood continues to occupy some frontage in the heart of the corridor and more recent multiple-family is found in the east end. Vacant parcels awaiting development also remain. City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
10 This diversity in land uses is, in part, evidence of the evolution of the corridor. Its proximity to 1-96 and relatively uncluttered setting brought industry to the area. Gradually, prime land near the interchanges was consumed and the demand for ever-expanding commercial opportunity spread along Grand River. With newer, more intense development, came updated land use regulations. Enhanced landscaping and screening, tighter sign controls, parking setbacks, and other requirements were added to previous regulations that had mainly been designed to control land use. As non-industrial uses began to dot the corridor, islands of improvement became evident. Some landscaping now provides a foreground for newer development but little has been done within the wide right-of-way, leaving the overall corridor unattractive for much of its length. • Overall, the zoning challenges that face the corridor include: o The corridor is diverse. Land use, parking location, age of structures, scale and aesthetic treatment vary widely along its length. o Retrofitting the corridor to enhance its visual appeal will require both regulatory initiatives, requiring newly developed and redeveioped properties to adhere to a higher design standard, and a proactive approach by the City to initiate improvements within the right-of-way. o Overhead power lines are a visual intrusion and dominate the view. Even the location of the poles and lines is inconsistent, crisscrossing the street along its length. o Generally, separation of the walkways from Grand River is minimal, not allowing sufficient spacing for landscaping between the walk and the street. The exception to this is found in the Mixed Business segment where the wider separation appears to be the result of fewer lanes on Grand River. If the street is widened, the more generous street yard will be lost. o Driveway spacing, especially in the Commercial Center Segment is generally poor. Even where parking lots are connected or alternate access is provided to cross-streets, individual driveways line the street. • To address these concerns, this Plan proposes a Zoning Overlay. This is a fundamental change necessary to start meeting the stated goals for the corridor. The proposed Zoning Overlay is presented in Appendix D. • Beyond zoning, the major street change proposed is connecting Crescent Road to Main Street, as described in Catalyst Projects, found in Appendix E Proposed intersection changes in this Plan are designed to allow for safer pedestrian crossing and presented in the Mobility Projects list As the owner of the road, the Oakland County Road Commission will have the final authority to approve and implement intersection improvements. Requirement 9, Section 21(2)(i) — An estimate of the cost of the development, as statement of the proposed method of financing the development, and the ability of the authority to arrange financing. • The estimated total cost for the improvements is $20,792,445-$28,217,445. Projects will be funded through a combination of financial sources, such as: o Donations and Grants o Bonds: Should the City Council Authorize such funding o Tax Increment Financing (TIF: Governed by this Plan and the CIA) o Special Assessments: Subject to City Charter o Other sources approved by the City. Appendix F provides a description of financing and a series of charts that details the cost of projects and estimated revenue generated from TIE Requirement 10, Section 21(2)(j — Designation of the person or persons, natural or corporate, to whom all or a portion of the development is to be leased, sold, or conveyed in any manner and for whose benefit the project is being undertaken, if that information is available to the authority. The Authority does not currently have any information designating any person or persons, natural or corporate, to whom all or a portion of any development will be leased, sold, or conveyed in any manner. Requirement 11, Section 21(2)(k)— The procedure for bidding for the leasing, purchasing, or conveying in any manner of all or a portion of the development upon its completion, if there is no express or implied agreement between the authority and persons, natural or corporate, that all or a portion of the development will be leased, sold or conveyed to these persons. • In the event the Authority needs to employ procedures for leasing, purchasing, or conveying property, it will follow the City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
11 established procedures of the City and applicable laws. Any property purchased will focus on commercial properties, or vacant, foreclosed, or listed residential properties within the Development Area. Requirement 12, Section 21(2)(0 — Estimates of the number of persons residing in the development area and the number of families and individuals to be displaced. If occupied residences are designated for acquisition and clearance by the authority, a development plan shall include a survey of families and individuals to be displaced, including their income and racial composition, a statistical description of the housing supply in the community, including the number of private and public units in existence or under construction, the condition of those units in existence, the number of owner-occupied and renter-occupied units, the annual rate of turnover of the various types of housing and the range of rents and sales prices, an estimate of the total demand for housing in the community, and the estimated capacity of private and public housing available to displaced families and individuals. • Currently the district established has 511 residents within its borders. • There will be no displacement of residents living within the development district. No occupied residential properties are currently designated for acquisition or clearance by the Authority. Acquisition of these properties will be reviewed on a case by case basis and only vacant, foreclosed, marketed, or listed properties will be considered. Requirement 13, Section 21(2)(m)— A plan for establishing priority for the relocation of persons displaced by the development in any new housing in the development area. The Authority currently has no plans for the displacement of individuals within the District. Should any relocation of individuals or businesses be deemed necessary in the future, the City and the Authority will first adopt a formal relocation program. Requirement 14, Section 21(2)(n)— Provision for the costs of relocating persons displaced by the development, and financial assistance and reimbursement of expenses, including litigation expenses, and expenses incidental to the transfer of title, in accordance with the standards and provision of the federal uniform relocation and real property acquisitions policies act of 1970, being Public Law 91-646,42 USC sections 4601 et seq. Any relocation plan will require that adequate payments and other assistance be provided to displaced individuals. Should relocation be required, the Authority, in cooperation with the City, shall allocate appropriate relocation assistance within the Authority's budget and in compliance with Federal Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisitions Policies Act of 1970. Requirement 15, Section 21(2)(o)— A plan for compliance with 1972 Act No. 227, MCL 213.321 to 213.332. • Any acquisition and/or relocation activities that occur using Corridor Improvement Authority funds will comply with Act No. 227 of Public Acts of 1972 Compiled Laws. Requirement 16, Section 21(2)(p)— The requirement that amendments to an approved development plan or tax increment plan must be submitted by the authority to the governing body for approval or rejection. • The Authority will submit any amendments to the Development and/or T1F Plans to the City Council for approval or rejection, and the Authority will follow the procedures outlined in the Corridor Improvement Authority Act, including notice and a public hearing. Requirement 17, Section 21(2)(q)— A schedule to periodically evaluate the effectives of the development plan.. • The Authority and the City will track progress on the implementation of this Plan on a yearly basis. Both the Development Plan and the Tax Increment Financing Plan will be reviewed every five years to identify any needs for revision.

23 Appendix D Proposed Zoning Overlay Overview: A Zoning Overlay can bring a semblance of visual harmony to the corridor while still recognizing the uniqueness and individual character of specific segments in an overlay zoning district. The proposed overlay, which is included in the Appendix of this Plan, addresses improvements along the corridor frontage in a way that accommodates the varying uses, setbacks, development styles and long-range planning goals of discrete segments. Specifically, the overlay addresses the following four segments and associated concerns. This is designed to provide some overlap between the six activity centers defined by the Master Plan to ultimately create cohesiveness along the corridor: Segment 1: Mixed Activity. The far western end of the corridor, from the City limits to Taft Road, comprises this segment. It is characterized by large buildings, relatively new development, attractive landscaping, uses that generate substantial employee and visitor traffic, and potential for more intense development. Access is well controlled, except for the area just west of Taft Road where driveway spacing is poor. Segment 2: Employment Core. From Taft Road to the west end of the overpass above the railroad tracks, this segment is primarily a mature industrial area. Most of the frontage is developed and setbacks vary widely. Many parcels are fairly large and occupy significant frontage, particularly along the north side of the street. Aesthetic treatment varies from dense screening to open front yards and parking lots close to the street. Due to the relatively large parcel sizes, driveway spacing is generally acceptable on the north side of the street but multiple, closely spaced drives are prevalent on the south side. Segment 3: Commercial Center. The Commercial Center segment extends from the west edge of the railroad overpass to Meadowbrook Road and is characterized by retail and service businesses, varying from clustered buildings near the Novi Road/ Grand River intersection to suburban strip centers and free-standing businesses lining the majority of the corridor segment. Sites tend to be attractive, most containing brick buildings and well landscaped frontage. Many sites are bordered by parking lots, each individually accessed by separate driveways which, in some locations, results in poor spacing. Segment 4: Mixed Business. Extending from Meadowbrook Road to Haggerty Road, this segment signals an abrupt shift from intense commercial to office, service and industrial uses. The street cross-section narrows from five-lanes to four. Much of the segment is well landscaped and framed with mature trees. Buildings are set back and most parking lots are on the side or rear of buildings. Driveway spacing, especially on the south side, is poor though uses tend not to be high traffic generators. Sidewalks, though intermittent, enjoy a wider separation from the street edge. GRCO Language: 1. intent a. The Grand River Avenue corridor is a diverse strip whose five-mile length is lined with an array of commercial, industrial, institutional, entertainment, and even residential uses. It is a regional arterial and an economic hub for the City of Novi, drawing customers, visitors, employees, and through traffic from a wide region. Despite its economic prominence, the corridor lacks the cohesion of a unified business district. Multiple zoning districts have yielded a random land use pattern. Islands of attractive, well-landscaped development are adjacent to aging industries and tired structures. Poorly spaced driveways interrupt the rhythm of traffic flow and add to traffic congestion. b. It is the intent of this overlay zoning district to establish minimum standards along the length of the corridor to: • Support the City's Master Plan and Corridor, improvement goals; • Improve traffic safety and protect the traffic-carrying capacity of the street; • Create a supportive environment for economic investment; • Protect existing businesses and ensure a complementary balance between current and future land uses; • Create a harmonious and welcoming image along the length of the corridor; and • Establish a pedestrian-friendly environment, where appropriate. 2. Applicability a. The overlay district applies to all property abutting the Grand River Avenue right-of- way. Requirements of the overlay district apply in addition to or supersede, as applicable, those of the underlying zoning district. b. The regulations of this overlay district shall apply as follows: • Construction of a new building on a vacant parcel or lot shall require full compliance with all requirements. • Expansion of an existing building at a cost of 60% of the value of the building at the time of expansion shall require full compliance with all requirements. • Expansion of an existing building at a cost of 40% to 60% of the value of the building at the time of expansion shall require compliance with installation of sidewalks and at least one-half of the greenbelt planting requirements. • Expansion of an existing building at a cost of 25% to 39% of the value of the building at the time of expansion shall require compliance with installation of sidewalks and at least one-third of the greenbelt planting requirements. City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
24 • An increase in the number of existing parking spaces by 50 % or more shall require compliance with the access management requirements and at least one-half of the greenbelt planting requirements. • The above ranges applicable to expansion of existing buildings or parking areas shall be cumulative over a five (5) year period beginning with the first project. For example, a building expansion of 20% followed two years later by another expansion of 25% shall be considered a 45% expansion in the third year. 3. Principal Permitted and Special Uses. All permitted and special land uses allowed within the underlying zoning district shall be allowed within this overlay district. 4. Development Standards. All development standards applicable to the underlying zoning district, unless specifically modified by this overlay district, shall be required. 5. Corridor Segments. Uniform regulation along the entire corridor is not reasonable due to the wide diversity of uses, varied right-of-way widths, dissimilar setbacks, and other disparate visual and functional elements. Despite this diversity, there exist contiguous geographic segments that share common traits and lend themselves to more consistent regulation. Four distinct segments are defined to create greater cohesion within specific areas of the corridor, as well as to collectively introduce overall harmony along the entire corridor in support of the intent of this overlay district. a. Mixed Activity. The far western end of the corridor, from the City limits to Taft Road, comprises this segment. It is characterized by large buildings, relatively new development, attractive landscaping, uses that generate substantial employee and visitor traffic, and potential for more intense development. Access is well controlled, except for the area just west of Taft Road where driveway spacing is poor. b. Employment Core, From Taft Road to the west end of the overpass above the railroad tracks, this segment is primarily a mature industrial area. Most of the frontage is developed and setbacks vary widely. Many parcels are fairly large and occupy significant frontage, particularly along the c. Commercial Center. The Commercial Center segment extends from the west edge of the railroad overpass to Meadowbrook Road and is characterized by retail and service businesses, varying from clustered buildings near the Novi Road/Grand River intersection to suburban strip centers and free-standing businesses lining the majority of the corridor segment. Sites tend to be attractive, most containing brick buildings and well landscaped frontage. Many sites are bordered by parking lots, each individually accessed by separate driveways which, in some locations, results in poor spacing. d. Mixed Business. Extending from Meadowbrook Road to Haggerty Road, this segment signals an abrupt shift from intense commercial to office, service and industrial uses. The street cross-section narrows from five-lanes to four. Much of the segment is well landscaped and framed with mature trees. Buildings are set back and most parking lots are on the side or rear of buildings. Driveway spacing, especially on the south side, is poor though uses tend not to be high traffic generators. Sidewalks, though intermittent, enjoy a wider separation from the street edge. 6. Requirements a. Greenbelt. These requirements are established to improve the appearance of the Grand River corridor, create a defined and attractive edge along the street, mitigate the visual impact of front yard parking areas, and achieve the goals of the Novi Master Plan to stimulate economic investment. To achieve these purposes, the following shall be required. 1. General Requirements. A landscaped greenbelt shall be established adjacent to the street right- of-way parallel to the front property line. If an easement parallels the right-of-way frontage and precludes the ability to meet the greenbelt requirement, the greenbelt shall be in addition to the easement or increased to the extent that planting requirements can be met. (Example: If a 15-foot power easement was directly adjacent to the right-of-way and did not permit trees within it, a 20-foot greenbelt would commence from the interior edge of the easement for a total of 35 feet). Off-street parking or loading shall not be located within any required greenbelt. All required greenbelts shall only contain living landscape materials; provided, the following may be located within the greenbelt when approved by the Planning Commission: o Walls and fences; o Vehicular access drives placed approximately perpendicular to the right-of-way; o Electrical, telephone, gas, water supply, sewage disposal, and other utilities may be constructed to pass through or across the required greenbelt. If the installation of such services impacts the requirements of this section, additional landscaping and/or greenbelt area may be required to meet the intent and standards of this section, as specified in subsection 1.a. above; o Pedestrian and bicycle paths (including sidewalks); o Landscape sculpture, lighting fixtures, trellises, pedestrian amenities and arbors; o Bus/transit shelters; o Signs; o Berming or mounding of soil; and City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
25 o Bioretention and other heavily vegetated stormwater BMPs. • When calculating lot frontage, driveways shall be subtracted from the linear foot total. • Fractions shall be rounded up to the next whole number for the required number of trees and shrubs • Where existing or created lagoons and drainage swales will occupy a substantial portion of the required greenbelt, additional depth may be required to achieve the intent of this section. • Any area not otherwise planted shall be sodded. • The minimum planted size for each plant type within a required greenbelt shall meet the minimum specifications cited in the City of Novi Landscape Design Manual. 2. Specific Requirements • The required greenbelt shall be established in accordance with the following table, based on the corridor segment in which the property is located. In addition, the requirements of Ordinance 18.283 shall apply; provided, the following table shalt supersede the provisions of Table 5.5.3.13.iff., as applicable. • For areas where overhead utilities preclude planting large trees, three (3) sub-canopy trees shall be provided for each one (1) required canopy tree. The minimum total mature canopy width of the sub-canopy trees shall equal or exceed 25 feet. • Vehicular entrances shall be defined using a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover that will create a sense of arrival and highlight the driveway. Clusters of flowering and other low ornamental plant species is strongly encouraged to denote the driveway while preserving vehicular sight lines. A minimum of 200 square feet shall be planted on each side of the entrance drive. • Sub-canopy trees may be in an informal or formal arrangement. • A wall may be used instead of a berm, if permitted by the Planning Commission. If a wall is erected in front of parking areas, a reduction of up to 33% of the required greenbelt plantings may be permitted; provided, no reduction to the number of required canopy trees nor more than 33% of required evergreens shall be allowed. • Freestanding walls shall be constructed of masonry or concrete with all exterior sides of face brick with a suitable cap. • An ornamental fence with shrubs and brick piers may be used in lieu of a berm, if approved by the Planning Commission. • View channels into the site are to be used for safety visibility. Sight fines to the building address shall be retained for approaching vehicles at an approximate angle of 20-40 degrees. • Tree requirements establish the quantity per linear footage of various trees along the right-of-way (ROVV). They are not intended to dictate exact placement on the site within the greenbelt. Creative landscape design, including clustering, is encouraged; provided, the intent of the greenbelt requirement is satisfied. • Trees shall not be permitted within the 25-foot comer clearance zone at any intersection. • Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be constructed according to City standards along the entire frontage of any property on which a new development is being built or on which an existing building is being modified, as specified in Section 2.B. of this district. • Parking Setbacks. Off-street parking areas, if allowed within a front yard, shall be set back a distance at least equal to the minimum required greenbelt for the street segment; provided, parking in the front setback shall not be permitted within the Mixed Business segment of the corridor. • Access Management. Control over the number and location of access points along the Grand River Corridor is necessary to reduce congestion, improve safety, maintain acceptable flow and minimize confusion. Experience has shown that implementation of these regulations will minimize traffic congestion and crashes, while creating more attractive, functional, and economically viable places. Therefore, the standards of this section shall apply to all development having frontage on and direct access to Grand River Avenue, as specified in Section 2, Applicability. The access management and driveway standards contained in this section shall be required in addition to, and, where permissible, shall supersede, the requirements of the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC). b. Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be constructed according to City standards along the entire frontage of any property on which a new development is being built or on which an existing building is being modified, as specified in Section 2.B. of this district. c. Parking Setbacks. Off-street parking areas, if allowed within a front yard, shall be set back a distance at least equal to the minimum required greenbelt for the street segment; provided, parking in the front setback shall not be permitted within the Mixed Business segment of the corridor. d. Access Management. Control over the number and location of access points along the Grand River Corridor is necessary to reduce congestion, improve safety, maintain acceptable flow and minimize confusion. Experience has shown that implementation of these regulations will minimize traffic congestion and crashes, while creating City of Novi - Grand River Corridor Improvement Authority Development Plan --November 2018
26 more attractive, functional, and economically viable places. Therefore, the standards of this section shall apply to all development having frontage on and direct access to Grand River Avenue, as specified in Section 2, Applicability. The access management and driveway standards contained in this section shall be required in addition to, and, where permissible, shall supersede, the requirements of the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC). 1. Requirements in General. • All driveways serving and access roads shall comply with the requirements of this section. • Driveways shall be located to minimize interference with the free movement of traffic, to ensure adequate sight distance, and to provide the most favorable driveway grade. • Driveways, including the radii, but not including right turn lanes, passing lanes and tapers, shall be located entirely within the right- of-way frontage, unless otherwise approved by the City or the Road Commission of Oakland County (RORC), as applicable, and upon written certification from the adjacent property owner agreeing to such encroachment. • A single means of direct or indirect access shall be provided for each separately owned parcel. Where possible, this access shall be by way of a local street, intersecting street, shared driveway or a marginal access (service) drive. Where it is not possible to provide shared or alternate access, direct access may be provided to an individual lot or parcel by a single driveway. • A Traffic Impact Study, as required by the City of Novi Site Plan and Development Manual, shall be submitted in conjunction with any site plan required by Section 6.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Access Controls. The following requirements apply to all properties with frontage on and direct access to Grand River Avenue: • Direct Access. The number of driveways shall be the minimum necessary to provide reasonable access for regular traffic and emergency vehicles, while preserving traffic operations and safety along the corridor. No more than one (1) driveway (or a one-way pair) shall be allowed per property, unless appropriate documentation is provided demonstrating the need for additional driveways, subject to compliance with the following: o One (1) additional two-way driveway may be allowed for properties with a continuous frontage of over 500 feet, and one (1) additional two-way driveway for each 300 feet of frontage in excess of 1,000 feet, if the Planning Commission determines there are no other reasonable alternate access opportunities. O Two (2) one-way driveways (a one-way pair) may be permitted along a frontage of at least 125 feet; provided, the driveways do not interfere with operations at other driveways or along the street. • Indirect Access. The use of shared driveways, service roads, and cross access, in conjunction with driveway spacing, is intended to preserve traffic flow along the corridor and minimize traffic conflicts, while retaining reasonable access to the property. Where the Planning Commission determines that reducing the number of access points may have a beneficial impact on traffic operations and safety while preserving the property owner's right to reasonable access, a shared driveway, access from a side street, or a service drive or frontage road connecting two (2) or more properties or uses may be required. In particular, service drives, frontage roads, or parking lot maneuvering lane connections between lots or uses may be required in the following cases: O Where the driveway spacing standards of this section cannot be met; o When the driveway could potentially interfere with traffic operations at an existing or potential traffic signal location; O The site is along a segment of the corridor where there is congestion or a relatively high number of crashes; O The property frontage has limited sight distance; or O The Fire Chief recommends a second means of emergency access. 3. Access Conflicts with Major Intersections. Driveways shall be located and designed to minimize interference with the operation of left-turn lanes at arterial street intersections along the corridor. 4. Spacing Between Driveways. The minimum spacing between two (2) driveways on the same side of the street shall be based upon posted speed limits along the parcel frontage. The minimum distances indicated in the table below are measured from centerline to centerline. For sites with insufficient street frontage to meet these criterion, the Planning Commission may require construction of: a driveway to a side street, a shared driveway with an adjacent property, a driveway along the property line farthest from the other driveway, or a service drive/frontage road. 5. Driveway Spacing from Intersections. A proposed driveway shall be located as far as practicable from an intersection, either adjacent to it or on the opposite side of the street. The distance may be set on a case-by-case basis by the Planning Commission during site plan review, but not less than the separation distances listed below (DRIVEWAY SPACING STANDARDS). For sites with insufficient street City of Novi - Grand River Corridor improvement Authority Development Plan —November 2018
27 frontage to meet the above criterion, the Planning Commission may require: construction of the driveway along an intersecting street, a shared driveway with an adjacent property, a driveway along the property line farthest from the intersection, or a service/ frontage road. 6. Driveway Offsets, To reduce left- turn conflicts, new driveways shall be aligned with driveways or streets on the opposite side of the street where possible. If alignment is not possible, driveways shall be offset a minimum of 250. Longer offsets may be required, depending on the expected inbound left-turn volumes of the driveways or sight distance limitations. 7. Measuring Driveway Spacing and Offsets. For the purposes of determining the distances between driveways, their offsets to one another, and the spacing to intersections, the measurement shall be based on extending the centerline of the driveway(s) out to the center of the traveled portion of the street, and measuring along the center of the street 8. Modifications of Requirements • Given the variation in existing physical conditions along Grand River Avenue, modifications to the spacing and other requirements above may be permitted as part of the site plan review procedure. The Planning Commission shall consider the criteria in Subsection 8.b. when determining if there is a need for modification, in the following circumstances, and the degree to which any modification is necessary. o The modification will allow an existing driveway to remain that does not meet the standards of this section but that has, or is expected to have, very [ow traffic volumes (less than 50 in- and out-bound trips per day) and is not expected to significantly impact safe traffic operations. o The use is expected to generate a relatively high number of trips and an additional driveway will improve overall traffic operations. a Practical difficulties exist on the site (sight distance limitations, existing development, topography, unique site configuration or shape) that make compliance unreasonable, or existing off-site driveways make it impractical to fully comply with the standards. o Because of restricted turning movements, the driveway does not contribute to congestion or an unsafe situation. • The Planning Commission may waive certain requirements of this section upon consideration of the following: o The proposed modification is consistent with the general intent of the standards of this section, the recommendations of the Novi Master Plan, and, if applicable, published RCOC guidelines. o Driveway geometrics have been improved to the extent practical to reduce impacts on traffic flow. There is no other reasonable alternative means of access. o Parcel frontage is insufficient to meet the dimensional standards. o Shared access has been provided, or the applicant has demonstrated it is not practical. o Such modification is the minimum necessary to provide reasonable access, will not impair public safety or prevent the logical development or redevelopment of adjacent sites, and is not simply for convenience of the development. • The Planning Commission may determine additional driveways are justified due to the amount of traffic generated by the use, without compromising traffic operations along the street, based upon a traffic impact study submitted by the applicant. Similarly, they may determine that additional driveways are required due to community interest, such as emergency vehicle access or to avoid unduly concentrating traffic into or out of the site at a single location.
