December 14,2021
Staff supports the proposed development standards in the West Orange Surgery Center Land Use
Plan(LUP) if the applicant revises the LUP to reflect a shared driveway and vehicular connectivity
in the northern and southern drive aisles, via cross-access easements, for efficient circulation
between the West Orange Surgery Center and West Orange Medical Center.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) and staff recommend approval for both items subject
to the following conditions:
• Applicant shall work with staff and the applicants of the West Orange Medical Center to
develop a plan that reflects a shared driveway and vehicular connections along the north and
south drive aisles
• Resolution of utilities issues, specifically sewer connections
Discussion:
Member Williams asked for clarification on when the adjacent property to the east will be
amending their LUP. Zoning Manager Whitfield explained the properties are owned separately;
however, they are amending their Land Use Plans simultaneously and have determined the cross-
access connectivity is in both of their best interest.
Member Forges inquired if construction will not commence until the easement is finalized.
Development Services Director Rumer explained the easement will be a part of the site plan
review and approval,which is the next step after this rezoning to PUD and Land Use Plan approval.
Member Keller asked if the home on the southwest corner is on the property will be removed.
Zoning Manager Whitfield indicated it is a separate property, which will be buffered from this
development by a stormwater pond and 10-foot minor landscape buffer as required by the
Comprehensive Plan policy. The Comprehensive Plan policy requires landscaping, but allows
either a fence or a wall to be used to supplement the required landscaping.
Member Kennedy asked if the two neighboring property owners are related,and Zoning Manager
Whitfield answered in the negative.
