 20. Proposed Vista Business Improvement District Plan - Ms. Carey Dunfey, Associate
 Director / JLP+D and Mr. Scott Garvin, Vista Property Owners Organization

 Mr. Scott Garvin, representative for the Vista Property Owners Organization said a lot has
 changed over 30 years, and the Vista is on the cusp of a lot more activity. He acknowledged
 that he is a developer and owns properties in the Vista and on Main Street. As a member of
 the Main Street District Board, he had an inside view of their effective management. Over a
 year ago, the Vista Property Owners Organization decided to push for a business
 improvement district (BID) and over 20 property owners agreed. The Vista Property Owners
 Organization assembled a steering committee and with the city's approval, hired JLP+D to
 help establish the BID. The three goals are to provide resources to strengthen and promote
 the unique identity of the Vista; eliminate silos between Main Street and the Vista; and
 utilize the model and structure that is already in place.

 Ms. Carey Dunfey, Associate Director / JLP+D said the Vista is a unique and connected
 center of activity that bridges downtown and the waterfront. The Vista can build on the
 momentum that has been established by the Vista Guild and property owners. The proposed
 model establishes a business improvement district (BID) in the Vista, where assessments
 fund supplemental services overseen by a private non-profit accountable to both the City
 and contributing property owners. Core priorities include maintaining a clean and safe
 environment, creating a sustainable funding stream, enhancing the public realm, supporting
 economic growth, and ensuring unified leadership. The BID will deliver services such as
 daily maintenance, public space improvements, marketing and events, beautification, and
 business advocacy and recruitment. District boundaries encompass the commercial core and
 the emerging waterfront area along Taylor Street to Blossom Street and the waterfront to
 Assembly Street, excluding the University of South Carolina, nonprofit, owner-occupied, and
 publicly owned properties. All included properties will pay a standard assessment at the rate
 of $0.001844 per $1 of value. An additional frontage-based assessment of $4 will be applied
 to higher-service areas within the commercial core. Combined with a potential $400,000
 hospitality tax contribution, total annual funding could reach $2 million. The improvement
 plan has been submitted for review.

 Council opened the Public Hearing at 4:44 p.m.

 Mr. Dale Marshall, has served as an architect in the Vista for the past 39 years. He reflected
 on the area’s significant growth and expressed support for the establishment of the BID. He
 stated that the BID would provide a framework to better analyze and manage anticipated
 growth over the next decade. He believes it is a necessary next step to ensure the Vista
 remains a vibrant place where people can live, work, play, and enjoy the arts.

 Ms. Beth Frost, President/ Congaree Vista Guild Board of Directors expressed support for
 the BID and highlighted the Guild’s 40-year history as an active community organization.
 She noted its role in promoting the district through events such as Artista Vista and Vista
 Lights. With the establishment of a BID, the area is well-positioned for continued growth
 and expansion.

 Ms. Carolyn Lee Decker, President / Vista Neighborhood Association expressed support for
 the BID and believes it will foster growth and enhance neighborhood value. She emphasized
 the importance of ensuring the BID continues to prioritize the district’s foundation of
 history, culture, and the arts. She also requested that a representative from the
 neighborhood association be included on the board.




 Page 8

Page 19 of 265
 Mr. Matt Kennell, President and CEO / Main Street District expressed support for the BID,
 noting that the Main Street District has benefited from a similar model for the past 25 years.
 He shared that their leadership, board members, and property owners remain supportive
 and confident in the success of the Vista. He added that the two districts already collaborate
 regularly, and the BID would further strengthen that connection and reduce silos across the
 city. He encouraged City Council to approve the BID.

 Council adjourned the Public Hearing at 4:55 p.m.

 Councilor Brown noted that this was the seventh thank you that City Council has received
 this year.

 Upon a motion made by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Bailey, Council voted
 unanimously to refer a presentation on the localized care options that are offered by Prisma
 Health to the Health, Social and Environmental Affairs Committee. The purpose of the
 referral is for the committee to review Prisma’s available community-based care resources
 and explore how these services can be leveraged to address challenges, particularly within
 the 29203 zip code.

 Councilor Bailey requested an update on a referral regarding how economic development
 can play a role in incentivizing localized care options in North Columbia.

 Mayor Rickenmann said it would be helpful to engage with communities in North Columbia
 to ensure that these initiatives are fruitful.

 Public Input
 Individuals are allotted up to three minutes to address City Council about matters not
 on the agenda. Items requiring a public hearing cannot be addressed at this time.

 Ms. Christy Fossum, 2917 Blossom Street, expressed concerns about the lack of a bus
 terminal in Columbia and the difficulty in obtaining clear information. She noted the
 hardship this creates for residents and asked about any plans to reestablish a terminal. She
 also sought clarification on whether bus carriers lack a designated site and expressed
 interest in serving on a citizen advisory group to help address the issue.

 Mayor Rickenmann stated that early discussions are underway with Amtrak, including
 potential federal funding opportunities. He noted that Southeastern Stages previously
 explored multiple locations but selected a site that created challenges for surrounding
 communities. He added that the City and transit partners are continuing to evaluate long-
 term intermodal solutions.

 Ms. Catherine Fleming Bruce, 2214 Hampton Street, expressed concerns about limited
 resources to meet historic preservation guidelines and proposed a grant program to assist
 property owners in historic districts, including Historic Waverly. She suggested funding
 through hospitality tax or similar sources to support restoration, assessments, and urgent
 repairs. The program would be administered through a partnership between the City’s




 Page 10

Page 21 of 265
 Planning and Community Development departments. She encouraged City Council to
 consider the proposal during upcoming budget discussions.

 Mayor Rickenmann said that additional research is needed regarding the state statute. He
 noted that the Bailey Bill was established to provide tax relief for property owners, which
 may already address some of the concerns raised. He added that the City will also explore
 options such as weatherization programs and other available resources. Staff will review the
 proposal further and report back with findings.

 Councilor Brennan asked what percentage of individuals in the Historic Waverly community
 would fall into the senior category.

 Ms. Catherine Fleming Bruce, 2214 Hampton Street, said she believes it is around 70%.

 Councilor Brown asked about the definition of a historical-cultural tourism property.

 Ms. Catherine Fleming Bruce, 2214 Hampton Street, clarified that the term comes directly
 from hospitality tax documentation and is defined in a tourism context. She explained that it
 refers to properties that contribute to tourism, noting that these neighborhoods are featured
 in bus tours, online tours, and other programming promoted by Historic Columbia.

 Councilor Brown also asked why it would matter if someone has a mortgage or if they own
 their home outright.

 Ms. Catherine Fleming Bruce, 2214 Hampton Street, explained that she gathered that
 language from another type of grant.

 Adjournment

 The meeting was adjourned at 5:09 p.m.

 DATE: April 14, 2026

 SUBJECT: Michael Baker International Contract Amendment Request to add Construction
 Engineering and Inspection (CEI) for the Columbia Canal Headgates Repair.
 Approval Recommendation



 Columbia Water, respectfully request your review and approval of the “Contract Amendment
 for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) for the Columbia Canal Headgates
 Repair. This amendment will fulfill Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
 requirements for engineering and inspection requirements for fabrication and installation of
 replacement headgates for the Columbia Canal. See attached Scope of Services.


 Background – During the historical flood of 2015 the Columbia Canal overtopped its
 embankment. The overtopping caused erosion and thus a breach in its embankment. The
 canal was then unable to retain and transport the necessary raw water that was needed for
 the Columbia Canal Water Treatment Facility as well as the Columbia Hydroelectric Facility.
 The key element necessary in controlling raw water entering the canal are the canal
 headgates. Work of this amendment will oversee the removal of the existing 1920’s era
 gates, engineering, fabrication and installation of the replacement gates.


 Cost of this Construction Engineering and Inspection work is being paid for by the CIP
 budget.

 DATE: April 14, 2026

 SUBJECT: Columbia Canal Headgates Structure – Ruby-Collins Contract.
 Approval Recommendation



 Columbia Water, respectfully request your review and approval of the Contract for replacement and repair of
 the Columbia Canal Headgates and Structure. This contract will fulfill Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
 (FERC) requirements for the replacement and repair of various elements associated with the headgates
 structure. See attached contract for services.


 Background – During the historical flood of 2015, debris floating down the Broad River became logged in
 many of the headgates controlling water flow into the Columbia Canal. Emergency measures taken to close
 the gates damaged many of the gates beyond repair. It should be noted that the gates are also slightly over
 100 years old and have reached the end of their useful life. Work of this contract will replace all of the gates
 with a more robust design and make other necessary repairs to the structure to meet FERC requirements
 before bring the structure back in service.


 Cost of this work is funded via reimbursement from HUD-CDBG-MIT Grant as well as CIP budget.

 Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
 for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
 Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any

 contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
 employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
 they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
 Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
 own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
 preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
 like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
 health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
 resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
 like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
 violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
 on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
 is available at
 https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

 subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between
 January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been

 If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the
 contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.30 per
 hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage
 determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing
 on the contract in 2025. The applicable Executive Order
 minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional
 information on contractor requirements and worker protections
 under Executive Order 13658 is available at
 www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

 Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
 the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
 award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
 https://sam.gov/wage-determination/SC20260028/0 2/5
Page 178 of 265
 3/26/26, 5:24 PM SAM.gov
 (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).


 ----------------------------------------------------------------

 The body of each wage determination lists the classifications
 and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
 type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage
 determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
 order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular
 rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey
 rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a
 supplemental classification rate.

 Union Rate Identifiers

 A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than
 ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was
 prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
 PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union
 whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for
 this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.
 0198 indicates the local union number or district council
 number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next
 number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in
 processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the
 example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated
 rate.

 Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes
 over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
 in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the
 classification.

 Union Average Rate Identifiers

 The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for
 those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for
 the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
 UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a
 weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
 The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number
 used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024
 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was
 updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

 A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to
 reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
 collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

 Survey Rate Identifiers

 The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union
 rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
 classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by
 computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates
 reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted
 average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may
 include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007
 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
 prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that
 classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the
 year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are
 based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal
 number used in producing the wage determination. The date,
 https://sam.gov/wage-determination/SC20260028/0 3/5
Page 179 of 265
 3/26/26, 5:24 PM SAM.gov
 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date
 for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

 ?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey
 is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the
 discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

 State Adopted Rate Identifiers

 The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and
 prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were
 adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007
 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME
 refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the
 state completed the survey on which the listed classifications
 and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an
 internal number used in producing the wage determination.
 The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which
 the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took
 effect under state law in the state from which the rates were
 adopted.

 EXHIBIT - WEATHER DELAY GUIDELINES

 A. In the event of temporary suspension of work or during inclement weather, or whenever the Construction Administrator
 shall direct, the contractor will, and will cause his subcontractors to protect carefully his and their work and materials
 against damage or injury from the weather. If, in the opinion of the Construction Administrator, any work or materials
 damaged or injured by reasons of failure of the Contractor or his subcontractors to protect their work, such materials
 shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
 B. The Owner has reviewed weather data available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
 station at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport and determined a Standard Baseline of average climatic range for the
 project site.
 1. Standard Baseline shall be regarded as the normal and anticipatory number of calendar days for each month
 during which construction activity shall be expected to be prevented and suspended by cause of precipitation in
 excess of one-tenth inch (0.01”) liquid measure. Suspension of construction activity for the number of days each
 month as listed is the Standard Baseline is included in the Work and is not eligible for extension of Contract
 Time.
 2. Standard Baseline (based upon precipitation in excess of one-tenth inch liquid measure) established for this
 contract as follows:

 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
 8 6 7 5 6 7 8 7 5 4 4 6

 C. Adverse Weather is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following conditions which prevents exterior
 construction activity or access to the site within twenty-four (24) hours:
 1. Precipitation (rain, snow, or ice) in excess of on-tenth inch (0.10”) liquid measure.
 2. Temperatures which do not rise above 32 degrees f by 10:00AM.
 3. Sustained wind in excess of twenty-five (25) MPH
 4. Standing snow in excess of one inch (1.00”)
 5. Any day the Owner has requested no work to be performed.
 D. A Weather Delay Day may be counted if adverse weather prevents work on the project for fifty percent (50%) or more
 of the Contractor’s scheduled work day, including a weekend day or holiday if Contractor has scheduled construction
 activity that day.
 E. Adverse Weather may include “dry-out” or “mud” days, as determined by the Construction Administrator such as:
 1. If the Contractor’s activity is limited to approximately 50% of the Contractor’s activity before the Adverse Weather
 occurrence, then one-half (1/2) a weather delay day will be counted. For example, if the Contractor is disking
 excavation and embankment areas to dry in situ moisture in the soils or hauling and placing unclassified
 excavation or borrow material to embankment before an Adverse Weather occurrence, but is able to continue
 disking excavation and embankment areas or placing unclassified excavation or borrow material, one-half (1/2)
 a Weather Delay Day will be allowed.
 2. If the Contractor’s activity is limited to minor activity when compared to the Contractor’s activity before the
 Adverse Weather occurrence, then one (1) weather delay day will be counted. For example, if the Contractor is
 disking excavation and embankment areas to dry in situ soils, hauling borrow material to embankment before an
 Adverse Weather occurrence, but is only able to disk excavation and embankment areas to dry them due to the
 Adverse Weather occurrence, one (1) Weather Delay Day will be allowed.
 F. If the Contractor is able to only perform disking operations to dry excavation and embankment areas due to in situ
 moisture in the soil, this is not considered an Adverse Weather occurrence or a Weather Delay Day and is considered
 to be a part of normal construction activities whether any other work can be performed or not.
 G. All weather data used to determine Adverse Weather for the project site during the course of work shall be data from
 NOAA station at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Therefore, the contractor shall on a monthly basis submit to the
 Construction Administrator a summary showing Adverse Weather incurred for the month and the supporting
 documentation from NOAA station at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport confirming the Adverse Weather experienced.
 Failure to submit on a monthly basis forfeits the Contractor’s rights to further adverse weather claims.
 H. In the event of temporary suspension of work or during inclement weather, or whenever the Owner/Engineer shall
 direct, the Contractor and subcontractors shall provide an enclosure or special protection from weather and will cause
 his subcontractors to protect carefully his and their work and materials against damage or injury from the weather
 without additional cost to the City. If, in the opinion of the Owner/Engineer, any work or materials are damaged or
 injured by reason of failure of the Contractor or his subcontractors to protect their work, such materials shall be removed
 and replaced at the expense of the Contractor. Partial payments under the contract will not relieve the Contractor from
 this responsibility. When materials and work at the site which have been partly paid for are not adequately protected
 by the Contractor, such materials will be protected by the City at the expense of the Contractor, and no further partial
 payment will be made thereon.

 ANNEXATION, FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT, AND ZONING MAP
 AMENDMENT CASE SUMMARY

 6701 Windwan Drive and NE/S Highway 77, 16408-02-06 and 16408-02-17 (portion)



 Council District: 4

 Proposal: Request to annex the properties, assign the land use classification of Urban
 Edge Residential Large Lot (UER-2) and the assignment of zoning of
 Residential Single Family – Large Lot District (RSF-1) for a pending
 annexation. The property is currently classified as Neighborhood (Medium
 Density) and zoned General Commercial (GC) and Residential 2 (R2) by
 Richland County.

 Owner/Applicant: Peggy M. Lawrence and WCB Properties LLC / James Kizer, Wilson Company
 of South Carolina LLC

 Staff Recommendation: Approval

 PC Recommendation: 03/12/26; Recommended Approval (7-0)

 CURRENT PARCEL CHARACTERISTICS/CONDITIONS

 Acreage: +/- 17.76 acres
 Current Use: Residential and Undeveloped
 Proposed Use: Residential
 Reason for Annexation: Municipal Services – New Development
 Urban Service Area: Donut Hole - Primary
 Current County Land Use Classification: Neighborhood (Medium Density)
 Proposed City Land Use Classification: Urban Edge Residential Large Lot (UER-2)
 Current County Zoning: General Commercial (GC) and Residential 2 (R2)
 Proposed City Zoning: Residential Single Family – Large Lot District (RSF-1)
 Census Tract: 116.03


 DETERMINATION FOR CITY SERVICES

 The following determination is an estimate of the benefits and costs associated with the annexation
 of the subject property:


Page 184 of 265
 Police
 As with most annexations, we find that the proposed annexation may result in an increased number
 of calls for service. The estimated cost to serve this proposed single-family residential subdivision
 would be approximately $17,200 per year, based on calls to similar nearby residential areas within
 the City limits.

 Fire
 The proposed annexation will not result in significant additional costs or impact services being
 provided by this department. Annexation would lower the ISO rating of this property to a Class 1
 from a Class 2.

 Solid Waste
 This single-family development will impact our ability to service more homes without additional
 personnel and equipment. The approximate cost to provide Solid Waste services to a single-family
 residence is $225 a year.

 Engineering
 If water and sewer are not available, it will be the owner’s responsibility to extend water and sewer
 to the property. This property is not within the City of Columbia’s sanitary sewer service area.

 Water Customer Care
 The property is currently vacant and any new homes would represent new customers, who will pay
 water and sewer rates approximately 40% lower than out-of-city customers.

 Planning & Development Services
 We recommend approval of the annexation of this property, which is within a Donut Hole - Primary
 Area as designated within the Urban Service Area plan. The current plans for the property are to
 develop a single-family residential subdivision of approximately 79 units. At build-out, the real estate
 tax revenue generated for the City would be approximately $141,600 per year based on the
 anticipated taxable value of this development.

 * Estimated City Tax Revenue is based on 2025 millage for real property and calculated as: ((Taxable
 Value × Tax Rate) × City Millage Rate (.0896)). The actual additional taxes paid by the property owner
 will generally be substantially lower than this number, as some millage items do not apply to in-City
 properties and an increased Local Option Sales Tax credit factor applies to in-City properties (an
 additional .002292 for the 2025 tax year).


 PLANS, POLICIES , AND LAND USE

 Urban Service Area
 The subject property is identified as a “Donut Hole - Primary” in the Urban Service Area Plan.

 Principles and Goals of the Urban Service Area
 The Urban Service Area plan provides a prioritization tool for City Council, staff, and the public to consider
 about the areas that present the best opportunities for the City’s long-term growth, while minimizing both
 short-term and long-term challenges. A review of existing infrastructure as well as the reach of our



Page 185 of 265
 community facilities and services helps define how we classify areas within the Urban Service Area plan.
 Areas have been classified as Primary, Secondary, and Long Range areas - or as Donut Holes – in order to
 represent the general level of priority based on this review.

 Importantly, this Urban Service Area plan is a policy guide, and not a determination about annexation on
 any individual property.

 Donut Holes - Primary
 Donut Holes - Primary are the donut holes where services are readily available and the infrastructure is
 generally good. These services include fire, police, sanitation, and utilities.
 Annexation within an area classified as Donut Hole - Primary is the highest priority. Barring unanticipated
 circumstances, annexation of these areas is recommended, and staff should work with individual property
 owners or neighborhoods/developments to encourage and expedite annexation.

 Donut Holes are unincorporated areas that are completely surrounded by the City of Columbia and/or
 another municipality, or areas surrounded by the City of Columbia and a major geographical feature, such
 as a river. These areas pose a number of challenges to the City that can be addressed through
 annexation. Often, these are areas that were developed before the City or any municipality became
 adjacent, and may lack easy access to City utilities or other services.

 Donut Holes can often cause inefficiencies in the delivery of services due to confusion about jurisdiction,
 and if the land is in a jurisdiction with a different approach to code enforcement, these areas can
 negatively impact the quality of life for adjacent City residents. Such inefficiencies can impact property
 owners and residents, both within and outside of the municipal boundaries, through confusion over
 services as well as added operational costs to local government. This results in a greater financial impact
 to City residents, who pay both City and County taxes.

 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Classification
 The proposed future land use for the subject property in the Columbia Compass: Envision 2036
 Future Land Use Map is Urban Edge Residential Large Lot (UER-2). The property is currently classified
 as Neighborhood (Medium Density) by Richland County.

 Refer to the attached land use classification descriptions for existing Richland County and proposed
 City of Columbia land use classifications.

 Existing Neighborhood, Small Area, Community, and/or Corridor Plans
 The subject property is not located within the study area of a neighborhood, small area, community,
 or corridor plan recently adopted by the City of Columbia or Richland County.



 ZONING

 The property is currently zoned General Commercial (GC) and Residential 2 (R2) by Richland County.
 Adjacent parcels within the City of Columbia are designated Residential Single-Family – Large Lot
 District (RSF-1) to the north and east, while a multifamily parcel zoned Residential Mixed District
 (RM-2) is located west of I-77.

 Adjacent parcels in unincorporated Richland County are currently zoned Residential 2 (R-2) to the south
 and small portion of the east.




Page 186 of 265
 The proposed City of Columbia zoning is Residential Single Family – Large Lot District (RSF-1)

 Refer to the attached zoning district descriptions for more information on the proposed City of Columbia
 zoning.
 STAFF RECOMMENDATION

 Staff finds that the requested zoning classification for these tracts are appropriate in the context of the
 site and aligns with the surrounding existing residential single-family districts, thus staff recommends the
 assignment of the future land use classification of Urban Edge Residential Large Lot (UER-2) and
 recommends assigning the zoning of Residential Single Family – Large Lot District (RSF-1) at the time of
 annexation.

 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN | Richland County, South Carolina




 NEIGHBORHOOD (MEDIUM-DENSITY)
 Land Use and Character
 Areas include medium‐density residential neighborhoods and
 supporting neighborhood commercial scale development designed
 in a traditional neighborhood format. These neighborhoods
 provide a transition from Neighborhood (Low‐Density) to more
 intense Mixed Residential (High‐Density) urban environments.
 Multi‐family development should occur near activity centers and
 within Priority Investment Areas with access to roadways with
 adequate capacity and multimodal transportation options. Non‐
 residential development may be considered for location along
 main road corridors and within a contextually‐appropriate distance
 from the intersection of a primary arterial.


 Desired Development Pattern
 The primary use within this area is medium density residential
 neighborhoods designed to provide a mix of residential uses and
 densities within neighborhoods. Neighborhoods should be
 connected and be designed using traditional grid or modified grid
 designs. Non‐residential uses should be designed to be easily
 accessible to surrounding neighborhoods via multiple
 transportation modes.




 Transportation
 Upgrades to arterial and collector roads should include the full range of transportation options – driving, transit, walking, and
 biking. Connectivity between adjacent developments is encouraged. Subdivisions should be designed to provide vehicular, bicycle,
 and pedestrian access and connectivity throughout, either through conventional sidewalks or through greenway and trail access.
 Recommended Land Uses
 Primary Land Uses: Single‐family detached houses, duplexes, townhomes
 Secondary Land Uses: Multi‐family development, neighborhood serving services, such as small scale drycleaners, professional
 offices, coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants, drug‐stores, and convenience stores should be located within Neighborhood
 Activity Centers or may be considered for location along main road corridors and within a contextually‐appropriate distance from
 the intersection of a primary arterial. These land uses should not result in strip commercial development or fragmented “leapfrog”
 development patterns along corridors. Places of worship, public or private parks, and public recreation facilities are also
 appropriate uses. These uses should be integrated to better serve surrounding residential properties through pedestrian access,
 and mitigation of any noise, light, or traffic impacts on neighborhoods.
 Policy Guidance
 1. Neighborhood densities should be based on allowing higher densities that include single‐family attached housing near
 major corridors and activity centers and lower densities that include only single‐family detached housing near open space
 developments, low‐density residential, and rural areas.
 2. Master planning of neighborhoods is encouraged and should include neighborhood parks and open spaces as part of the
 development program. A mix of housing types is encouraged within individual developments. Neighborhood scale
 commercial centers are also an appropriate amenity to include in master planned developments.
 3. Traditional neighborhood designs should be facilitated by development of a new zoning district that allows for a mix of
 housing types and lot sizes within a single development.
 4. Developments should connect to adjacent neighborhoods and commercial/employment areas, and be supported by
 multiple modes of transportation.
 5. The protection of mature tree canopy is encouraged for areas surrounding developments and on private residential lots,
 as feasible.

 network. Street widths may be narrow or wide. Sidewalks may
 or may not be present in existing neighborhoods but should be
 provided in new developments. On-street parking is uncommon
 in these neighborhoods when street widths are narrow.
 • Blocks are slightly irregular and may display a range of sizes and
 shapes determined by the parent lot shape and the internal
 street network.
 • Blocks are subdivided into regular sized lots over 10,000 square
 feet.
 • Buildings are typically set back from the street with deep front
 yards; buildings sit parallel to the street.
 • Building sizes vary slightly within a block, but most are one
 to two stories in height with more than 2,000 square feet of
 livable space. Exceptions in the number of stories would be for
 neighborhoods with many split-level homes.
 • Most homes have dedicated parking areas in front or side yards.
 Attached garages or carports are common.
 • Open or green spaces are included in individual properties,
 retention or detention areas, or neighborhood parks. Passive
 green spaces should be included in new developments.
 • Within a single development, building architecture, density,
 scale, and design will typically be fairly consistent along with
 front yard setbacks and driveway and garage arrangements.
 Side loading garages may be more common in a large lot
 neighborhood than in small lot neighborhoods.

 PLANS, POLICIES, AND LAND USE

 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Classification
 The future land use classification assigned to the subject property in the Columbia Compass: Envision
 2036 Future Land Use Map is Urban Core Mixed Residential Type 3 (UCMR-3).

 Refer to the attached land use classification descriptions.

 Existing Neighborhood, Small Area, Community, and/or Corridor Plans

Page 202 of 265
 The subject property is located within the study area of the Capital City Mill District Area & Corridor
 Plan (2017), developed and adopted jointly by the City of Columbia and Richland County. The property
 falls within the Olympia Neighborhood sub area (pages 12 and 15-16), and the plan proposed a future
 land use classification of Urban Core Mixed Residential Type 3 (UCMR-3) for the property (page 32).
 Specific Mill District Characteristics were provided related to each recommended future land use
 classification, and for UCMR-3, these were: “mill vernacular architecture; predominantly single-
 family; tertiary commercial uses should be limited to corridors with appropriate scale (Olympia
 Avenue + Whaley Street)” (page 32).

 The Greening America’s Communities Rocky Branch Greenway charrette and plan document (2018)
 considered how the property owned by the City immediately northeast of the subject property along
 Bluff Road might be restored and redeveloped to provide access to natural spaces and recreation
 while also connecting to the Rocky Branch Greenway. While the majority of recommendations focused
 on the City-owned property, the plan did make recommendations for neighborhood connections –
 including the installation of a sidewalk along the east side of Bluff Road adjacent to the property
 under consideration for rezoning.

 ZONING

 These three parcels are currently zoned Residential Two-Family - Mill Village District (RD-MV); the
 northern portions are in the Floodplain Overlay District (OV-FP), and the northernmost corner (+/-
 10,000 sq. ft.) is within the Floodway Overlay District (OV-FW). The OV-FP and OV-FW overlays are
 unaffected by the applicant’s request.

 The parcels were annexed in September of 2024 and June of 2025 and assigned the RD-MV district
 (with overlays) at the time of annexation. At the time of the most recent annexation in 2025, the
 developer was proposing a multifamily development consisting of duplexes, and the County had
 placed a moratorium on development within the Olympia area.

 Since that time, the moratorium has been lifted and the County has created a neighborhood
 character zoning overlay for the Olympia Mill Village that functions similarly to the City’s historic
 overlays. This neighborhood character overlay was largely applied to the historic mill village grid and
 not extended to any of the unincorporated properties on the east side of Bluff Road. Also, the City
 has clarified the distinction between duplexes (a two-unit building on a single lot) and multifamily
 (three or more units on a single lot), and the originally requested RD-MV district no longer
 accommodates the proposed development.

 The City-owned parcel to the due north along Bluff Road is zoned LL-R: Large Lot – Reserve District,
 and the site of the former baseball stadium to the northeast is zoned CAC: Community Activity
 Center/Corridor District.

 To the southeast on the same side of Bluff Road as the subject property, the properties are in
 unincorporated Richland County and are zoned Residential 6 (R6). Across Bluff Road, the properties
 are also zoned R6 but are subject to the above-mentioned Olympia Mill Village Neighborhood
 Character overlay. The County’s R6 district has a density slightly higher than the City’s RM-2 district
 (18 units/acre vs 17.2 units/acre), but with a lot width more in line with the City’s RM-1 district (50
 feet).


 The proposed City of Columbia zoning is Residential Mixed District (RM-1); again, the OV-FP and OV-
 FW overlays are unaffected by the applicant’s request and will remain.


Page 203 of 265
 Refer to the attached zoning district descriptions for more information on the existing and proposed
 City of Columbia zoning.




 STAFF RECOMMENDATION

 At the time of annexation, staff found the request for RD-MV to be appropriate in light of existing
 plans and surrounding development context, and finds that RM-1 is also appropriate for this site on
 the same basis.

 The development pattern on this side of Bluff Road is a mixture of reserved lands, single-family
 residences, and duplex-style multifamily development in a non-gridded development pattern. The
 RD-MV district is best suited for a gridded block pattern of small residential lots, and though an
 extension of the grid to mirror the historic development pattern across Bluff Road would be welcome,
 RM-1, which permits a lower density (8.7 units/acre) than RD-MV (13.2 u/a), is also appropriate in
 light of the aforementioned surrounding development context, floodplains, and topography of the site.
 Thus, staff finds that the proposed RM-1 District is consistent with the surrounding uses and the
 future land use classification in the Columbia Compass comprehensive plan, and recommends
 approval of this request.

 recommendation of the recently adopted Downtown Strategic Plan (adopted June 2025).

 The adopted text amendment specified that the proposed Historic Preservation Design Review
 Commission (HP/DRC) would consist of seven (7) members, and would hear cases related to historic
 districts and landmarks and that the Urban Design Review Commission (U/DRC) would consist of five
 (5) members and would hear cases related to urban design districts. Each board would have a
 number of members with expertise specific to the case types they consider.

 At the meeting on February 17th, City Council voted unanimously to increase the number of members
 on the U/DRC from five to seven. The proposed amendment herein is to reflect that change in the
 text of the Unified Development Ordinance. By specifying “at least five” members, the U/DRC can
 accommodate the seven appointees but remains flexible if a smaller U/DRC is needed in the future.

 NOTE: At its April 9, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend an amended
 approval of this request to include a maximum of seven (7) members, changing the language to
 read:

 “The HP/DRC shall consist of seven members, and the U/DRC shall consist of at least 5 but no
 more than 7 members, all appointed by the City Council. No member shall hold any other
 public office or position in the City or County.”

 Section 1: Why a Business Improvement District for The Vista?
 To catalyze new investment while safeguarding existing assets, property owners in The Vista are
 initiating a private-sector, self-governance model to help fund enhanced services beyond those
 already provided by the City of Columbia. By utilizing the South Carolina Municipal Improvements
 Act, these stakeholders are proposing the establishment of a Business Improvement District (BID),
 a locally and nationally proven mechanism designed to provide a competitive edge through
 dedicated funding and professional place management. This strategic move is driven by a collective
 commitment to ensuring The Vista remains a destination rooted in the uniqueness of its history,
 leisure and hospitality offerings, and public programming. Property owners in The Vista are taking
 action for several key reasons.


 1.​ Generate Consistent Funding to Improve the Health and Safety of The Vista
 Over the years, cleanliness and quality of life issues have become primary pain points for property
 owners, businesses, tenants, residents, and visitors to The Vista. A primary goal of the Improvement
 District is to create a professional, visible "Clean and Safe" program. This program would include
 the hiring of ambassadors to support supplemental services such as cleaning, litter removal, graffiti
 abatement, and others that help retain existing and attract new users to the district, protect property
 values, beautify streetscapes, and improve the daily pedestrian experience. A well executed clean
 and safe program assists in visibly signaling that The Vista is a safe and healthy place to live, work,
 play, and invest.


 2.​ Provide a More Vibrant District Experience that Strengthens The Vista’s Identity
 The proposed BID will act as a strategic steward of The Vista’s brand, actively reinforcing its
 unique historic, arts, hospitality, and entertainment identity. With consistent and sustainable year
 over year funding, the BID will be equipped to create a more vibrant public realm through curated
 activities, including marketing, district promotion, and events, that strengthen the experience of the
 district, attracting new users and investment while ensuring the district’s uniqueness remains
 consistent and compelling.


 3.​ Foster Economic Growth and Enhance Property Values
 Across the country, business improvement districts have been shown to help facilitate the financial
 and professional resources that equip property owners and community members with the tools to
 collaborate and act as strategic partners in the success of their districts. BIDs bring a stable financial
 and governance model that helps to both protect and enhance investments while providing
 leadership capabilities that influence the implementation of new development. A BID in The Vista
 helps partners collaborate, lead, and shape the district’s future, ensuring challenges will be
 addressed.
 As Columbia and South Carolina continue to attract new, and many young, residents to the state,
 The Vista needs to continue to compete for new investment, residents, and businesses. With recent
 and future investments in the pipeline, including Finlay Park, the Waterfront, student housing, and
 many adaptive reuse projects, The Vista is at a strategic moment to capitalize on existing energy and

 3


Page 216 of 265
 attract investment in a coordinated way. A business improvement district provides the financial
 resources to develop and implement an economic development strategy that will capitalize on new
 investment to increase economic growth, enhance property values, and bring development to
 underutilized spaces across the district.


 4.​ Establish Unified Leadership to Further District Priorities
 The proposed Vista BID is expected to be managed by a new non-profit, 501(c)(3) established to
 manage the funding generated by the properties within the district. District work plans and budgets,
 based upon this ten-year plan, will be refined annually by a board of directors representative of the
 property owners who are paying the assessment with direct accountability to those who are paying
 into the district. The BID will operate under private-sector performance standards, ensuring every
 dollar is tied to measurable results.
 As a nonprofit dedicated to achieving success within the Vista, the organization will also act as its
 champion, creating lasting working relationships with partners, including property owners,
 residents, business owners, other nonprofits, the City Council, and other public stakeholders.
 Specifically, the nonprofit will work closely with the Main Street BID creating a shared experience
 within Columbia’s commercial core from Downtown to the waterfront. By unifying our
 stakeholders, the BID will serve to champion the interests of Vista property owners and other
 community members with City, County, and State partners.

 Section 2: What Is a Business Improvement District?
 The International Downtown Association estimates about 4,000+ place management organizations
 exist globally, 2,500 of which function in North America. These organizations are also known as
 Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Business Improvement Areas (BIAs), Partnerships and
 Alliances. Led by the private sector, these organizations are typically nonprofits primarily supported
 by special assessments within specific geographies. BIDs exist in nearly every state at a diversity of
 sizes. According to the IDA, each organization on average “provides $1.2 million in services to
 their districts to help businesses thrive and to make the district a great place for workers, residents
 and visitors.” These enhanced improvements and activities, which can include security, cleanliness,
 maintenance, and marketing, are in addition to those provided by the local government.
 A Property-Based Business Improvement District (BID) is based upon the “benefit assessment
 district” concept, which provides for an assessment on real property and improvements upon real
 property to be raised within a specific geographic district with the proceeds directed back to the
 district to provide enhanced services that benefit the district and properties located within the
 district boundaries.
 BIDs allow for a wide range of service options, including security, cleanliness, maintenance,
 marketing, economic and housing development, special events, etc.
 BIDs offer a number of unique advantages. They are:
 ●​ Designed and created by those who will pay the assessment
 ●​ Governed by those who pay through a property and business board that supervises
 operations and submits a yearly implementation plan.
 ●​ Implemented by those who pay through a non-profit, private sector, management
 organization.
 ●​ Established through the support of the property owners who will pay the proposed property
 assessments.
 ●​ Established for a predetermined number of years with a sunset clause that requires a new
 approval by those who pay to renew the BID

 Section 3: Vista Improvement Plan Summary
 Improvement Plan Summary
 Developed by property owners in The Vista, the Vista Improvement District Plan conveys special
 benefits to properties within the proposed BID. The District provides enhanced improvements and
 activities, including maintenance, public space cleaning, security, homeless outreach, marketing,
 and economic development, above and beyond the baseline services provided by the City of
 Columbia.
 Location
 An area defined in Section 4 of this plan, bounded generally by Taylor Street (North), Blossom
 Street (South), Assembly Street (East), and the Congaree River (West). (See Exhibit 1).
 Value of District
 The total estimated fair market value of the private, non-exempt properties within the proposed
 district as appraised by the Richland County Assessor as of February 2026 was $755,537,100.
 Improvements, Activities, Services

 ●​ Public Space Management: Enhanced security patrols (Ambassadors), visitor
 assistance, and improvements to street lighting/parking.
 ●​ Enhanced Maintenance: 16/7 cleaning, graffiti removal, pressure washing, and
 specialized trash/cigarette debris collection.
 ●​ Landscape Programs: Tree grate maintenance, seasonal flower planters, and sidewalk
 weeding.
 ●​ District Marketing: Marketing campaigns, visitor guides, business recruitment, market
 research, and public art installations.
 ●​ Quality of Life & Planning: Grant writing, residential recruitment, and improved
 connectivity to neighboring districts.

 Method of Financing:
 A levy of assessments upon real property and buildings which benefit from the improvements and
 activities.
 Budget:
 Anticipated district budget contribution from private property assessment for the year 2027 of
 operation is $1,464,844.
 Cost:
 Annual assessments are based upon an allocation of specific program costs. Two property
 assessment variables, appraised value and street frontage on Gervais and Lady between Assembly
 and Huger, and on the side streets between Gervais and Lady: Huger, Pulaski, Gadsden, Lincoln,
 and Park, are used in the calculation.
 The annual yearly assessments are not expected to exceed the rates listed below during the full term
 of the BID unless specifically authorized by City Council.
 Assessment Rate

 -​ Gervais and Lady between Assembly and Huger, and on the side streets between Gervais
 and Lady: Huger, Pulaski, Gadsden, Lincoln, and Park. (See Exhibit 2).
 **Properties fronting these streets are subject to both assessments.**
 City Services:
 The City has agreed that existing City services will continue to be provided within the BID District
 at the same level as before the BID was created, consistent with City services provided in other
 areas. BID services are in addition to existing City services.
 District Formation:
 A District may be formed by either of two processes.
 1.​ Submission of signed petitions from property owners who represent a majority per capita of
 all owners of real property within the district, which is not exempt from ad valorem taxation.
 2.​ The City may create an improvement district through an ordinance adopted by a majority of
 council after a public hearing at which the plan is presented, including the proposed basis
 and amount of assessment.
 This plan anticipates that the City will form the district using Process No. 2.
 Duration:
 The Business Improvement District will have a 10-year life (January 1, 2027 through December 31,
 2036). After nine years, a new implementation plan must be developed, and the approval process
 must be repeated in order to continue beyond the tenth year.
 Governance:
 The City of Columbia as the governing body must approve the 10-year implementation plan. The
 Vista Improvement District budgets may be refined annually within the limitations set forth in the
 district implementation plan, by the Board of the private sector management/implementation
 organization. Any changes to the implementation plan during the term of the district that are not
 within the limitations set forth for changes in the plan, must be approved by the City Council acting
 as the governing body.
 Through a contract with the governing body (i.e., City of Columbia), a property owner-led, private
 sector, non-profit district management/implementation organization is expected to implement the
 improvements and activities defined in the Plan and to manage the day-to-day operations of the
 District. To ensure immediate impact and fiscal efficiency, the BID can contract with an established
 management entity to jumpstart services and reduce administrative overhead. On a yearly basis a
 report summarizing the accomplishments of the District as well as a report of the financial activities
 of the District will be submitted to the governing body and to each assessment-paying property
 owner.
 Section 4: Vista Improvement District Boundaries
 The area within the following district boundaries have been identified for the Vista Improvement
 District. The map on Exhibit 1 of this report identifies these district boundaries. These boundaries

 7


Page 220 of 265
 were determined by the Vista Property Owners group.
 District Boundaries
 The District includes all properties within an area defined by the following boundaries:
 The southwest corner of Taylor Street and Assembly Street intersection shall serve as the
 point of beginning. From the point of beginning, proceed South on Assembly Street five city
 blocks to the north side of Senate Street. Follow Senate Street in a westerly direction one
 city block to the southwest corner of Park Street, then south one city block along Park Street
 to the northwest corner of Park Street and Pendleton Street. Continue west three city blocks
 on Pendleton Street to northwest corner of Pendleton and Wayne Streets, thereafter continue
 south five city blocks along the railroad tracks to the northwest of Wheat Street. Thereafter
 three blocks west to northeast of Wheat and Williams Street and one block north to the
 northeast corner of Williams and Blossom Street. Follow Blossom Street west to the east
 bank of the Congaree River and proceed north following the shore of the Congaree River for
 eleven city blocks to the corner of the southside of Blanding Street. At which point, follow
 Blanding Street to the southeast corner of Gist Street then north one city block to Laurel
 Street. Turn east on the south side of Laurel and proceed to the southwest corner of Laurel
 and Huger Street. At Huger Street, proceed one city block south then travel southeast along
 the railroad tracks from Huger at Blanding Streets toward the southwest corner of Pulaski
 and Taylor Streets. Continue east along Taylor Street to the point of origin at Assembly
 Street. The eastern boundary of the district is to adjoin the western boundary of the City
 Center Business Improvement District. The properties on the eastern side of Assembly
 Street with frontage on Assembly Street will not be assessed by or included in the Vista BID
 boundaries due to their existing inclusion in the Main Street District.


 For a graphic representation of the boundaries of the Vista Improvement District see the map
 labeled “Exhibit 1.”

 Section 5: Programs And Services To Be Provided
 Process to Establish the Improvement District Plan
 Through stakeholder engagement in the Vista, priority improvements and programming activities to
 be delivered by the Vista Business Improvement District were determined to be clean and safe,
 maintenance, marketing/communications, and economic development.
 All properties within the Vista BID will receive a core level of all the district’s services. In addition,
 Gervais and Lady between Assembly and Huger, and on the side streets between Gervais and Lady:
 Huger, Pulaski, Gadsden, Lincoln, and Park is expected to receive a higher level of maintenance.
 The additional frontage assessment on these streets reflects the increased level of services provided.


 PUBLIC SPACE DEVELOPMENT & MANAGEMENT
 ●​ Public Safety Program
 ○​ Integration with the Columbia Police Department: The Vista public security
 program is expected to work closely with The Columbia Police Department and
 integrate the Vista program with that of the Department. The public safety program’s
 mission is to support the police department, property owners, and tenants in overall
 crime prevention efforts and reduction in street disorder, while offering a customer
 service orientation to pedestrians and motorists. It provides highly visible security
 and is intended to supplement the individual building security and the Columbia
 Police Department already provided
 ○​ Foot Patrol: The patrol program is expected to help deter aggressive panhandling
 and other anti-social street behavior. The goal of this patrol is to help deter and report
 illegal street vending, illegal dumping, and street code violations. They will handle a
 myriad of quality of life problems including: drinking in public, urinating in public,
 indecent exposure, trespassing, prostitution observations, among others. They will
 perform goodwill gestures such as escorting employees, helping lost persons, and
 retrieving keys from locked cars. The patrol program also can assist with traffic
 control in the event of accidents, fires, or unusual occurrences. They will patrol
 assigned routes, covering all in the district. They will be professional, assertive,
 friendly, courteous, people-oriented individuals in excellent physical condition. The
 patrol program officers will complete customized classroom district training and
 additional hours of field training.
 ○​ Evening Safety Patrol: The evening patrol program will increase the sense of safety
 for the nighttime users of the restaurants, churches, hospital, hotels, and all
 businesses that cater to a nighttime clientele. The evening patrol program has the
 same mission and receives the same training as the foot patrol program.
 ●​ Maintenance Program
 ○​ Vista Clean Team: In order to deal effectively and consistently with maintenance
 issues, a Vista Maintenance Plan will be established. A multi-dimensional approach
 will consist of the following elements:
 ■​ Sidewalk Maintenance: Uniformed, radio-equipped personnel sweep litter,
 10


Page 223 of 265
 debris and refuse from sidewalks and gutters of the district. Personnel also
 collect trash and debris as necessary, including maintaining pet “comfort
 stations.”
 ■​ Graffiti Removal: Removal of graffiti by using solvent and pressure
 washing. The District will maintain a zero tolerance graffiti policy. All tags
 will be removed within 24 hours once the team is notified of the presence of
 graffiti.
 ■​ Sidewalk Pressure Washing: The district standard is to have all sidewalks
 cleaned at least every other month with high use areas cleaned more
 frequently.
 ■​ Paper Sign and Handbill Removal: Paper signs and handbills taped or
 glued on public property, utility boxes, poles and telephones are removed by
 hand or when necessary by high-pressure hose.
 ■​ Special Collections: A district truck will be available to collect items
 illegally dumped in the district.
 ■​ Maintenance Problems Requiring Third Party Intervention: Problems
 that create blighted or unsafe conditions in the district, but are outside of the
 jurisdiction of the district to repair will be monitored, and the responsible
 party to be contacted and asked to deal with the issue. These types of
 problems include blocked or damaged sewers or drains, damaged
 sidewalks/streets/alleys, non-operating streetlights, damaged or missing street
 signs, etc.
 ●​ Landscape Maintenance Program
 ○​ Litter/Weed Removal: Public landscape areas, tree wells and planters will be
 maintained and kept free of litter and weeds.
 ○​ Seasonal Planting: A program of seasonal plantings of colorful flowers will be
 developed.
 ●​ Special Projects Program:
 ○​ Signage: A Vista Wayfinding program will be developed to improve the ability of
 users to find destinations within the district as well as increase the ease of pedestrian
 use of the district.
 ○​ Public Art: A program will be developed to facilitate the installation of public art
 within the district.
 ○​ Street Furniture: A program will be developed to provide additional street furniture
 such as trashcans, benches and children's play areas.


 DISTRICT MARKETING
 1.​ Communications/Marketing
 ○​ An integral piece of the improvement plan is to create a program to tell the story of
 change and improvement in The Vista. The program that will be developed by the

 11


Page 224 of 265
 property owners is expected to maintain, create, or improve upon:
 ■​ Street Banner Program
 ■​ Visitor Guides and Parking Map
 ■​ Business Directory
 ■​ Public and Media Relations
 ■​ Special Events
 ■​ Improved Signage
 ■​ Regional Marketing Campaign
 2.​ Business Development
 ○​ Several tools will be developed to support the efforts of individual property owners
 and brokers to attract and retain tenants. Some of these tools are:
 ■​ Market Research & Data Collection
 ■​ Defined Business Recruitment and Retention Strategy
 ■​ Investor, Tenant and Broker Recruitment Support Packets
 ■​ Residential Recruitment and Demographics Development
 ■​ Building Improvement Programs
 ■​ One Stop, Available Space Resource Center
 ■​ Business Attraction, Support, and Retention
 ■​ Façade or Other Business Improvement Programs
 3.​ Planning
 ○​ Public/Private Planning Activities
 ○​ Economic Development Studies (e.g., market, zoning and land use, parking)
 ○​ Resource Sourcing
 ○​ Grant Writing
 ADMINISTRATION
 1.​ Management Personnel
 ○​ A professional staff with centralized administrative support is expected to manage
 the Vista improvements and activities. This staff will be responsible for representing
 the property owners before public agencies and advocating on behalf of business and
 property owners. District services are estimated to be delivered 16 hours a day, seven
 days a week, requiring management staff 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
 ○​ To ensure immediate impact and fiscal efficiency, the BID can contract with an
 established management entity. This approach bypasses the overhead of a dedicated
 internal staff while providing consistent representation before public agencies. By
 leveraging existing infrastructure, the BID will deploy 16/7 district services and
 management oversight from day one, ensuring property owners receive professional
 advocacy without the delay of a centralized startup phase.

 Section 6: Operating Budget
 FY 2027 Operating Budget Summary
 The summary of the FY 2027 operating budget for the Vista Business Improvement District is
 provided. The total improvement and activity plan budget for 2027 is projected at the expected
 assessment of $1,464,844 and made up of the following components:


 PUBLIC SPACE MANAGEMENT
 A public clean and safe program is an essential component of BID activities.
 ●​ Enhanced Security Programs: The public safety programs are designed to improve both
 the reality and the perception of safety in the Vista. Individual public safety programs are
 detailed in Section 5.
 ●​ Enhanced Maintenance: In order to establish and maintain cleanliness throughout the
 District the Maintenance program will remove trash, debris, and graffiti, provide sidewalk
 maintenance and pressure washing, and other services as detailed in Section 5.
 ●​ Enhanced Landscape Services: To provide a more positive perception of the Vista an
 enhanced landscape program will be provided as detailed in Section 5.
 ●​ Special Projects: Special projects are projects that are important to increasing the quality of
 life in the public environment, but do not fit within one of the other categories. Special
 project details are found in Section 5.
 The budget for the public safety program is $878,907 or 60% of the total District budget.


 DISTRICT MARKETING
 In order to tell the story of The Vista, and continue to build upon the positive changes in both
 perception and reality, the Vista BID will implement a district marketing and communications
 program as detailed in Section 5.
 The budget for the district marketing program is $292,969 or 20% of the total District budget.


 ADMINISTRATION
 In order to manage the day-to-day activities of the BID a professional administrative staff and office
 are necessary to ensure the delivery of quality services.
 The budget for administration is $292,969 or 20% of the total District budget.




 13


Page 226 of 265
 Section 7: Assessment Methodology
 Assessment Methodology
 Vista property owners and stakeholders have emphasized that the assessment formula for the
 District must be fair, balanced and have a direct relationship between benefits received and costs.
 Calculation of Assessments
 The preceding methodology is applied to a database that has been constructed by the Vista property
 owners and its consultant team. The property data was obtained from the County Assessor’s Office.
 Based upon the methodology as set forth above, property data compiled by the Vista property
 owners and the District budget is expected to yield the following assessments for each benefit zone.
 The annual yearly assessments are not expected to exceed the rates listed below during the first year
 of the BID.
 ●​ Assessment Rate: $.001844
 Per Dollar of Fair Market Value
 ●​ Frontage Assessment Rate: $4.01
 Per Foot Frontage on Gervais and Lady between Assembly and Huger, and on the side
 streets between Gervais and Lady: Huger, Pulaski, Gadsden, Lincoln, and Park
 In future years, assessments may change, up or down, if appraised value information changes. We
 do not anticipate any increases in the assessment rates unless unforeseen circumstances occur.
 Budget Adjustments
 If there is a budget surplus, it will be rolled into the following year’s District budget. Yearly
 expenditures and budgets shall be set so that at the end of each year there will not be a planned
 deficit at the end of any year.
 Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
 As provided by state law, the Vista BID assessment will appear as a separate line item on annual
 property tax bills.
 Government Assessments
 The Vista Improvement District plan assumes that the City, County and Federal Government will
 pay fair-share assessments for property owned within the boundaries of the District.
 It is the intent of the improvement district law to provide services only to those properties that pay
 assessments. District services will not be provided to government properties that do not pay District
 assessments. All reasonable efforts will be made to include government properties on a voluntary
 basis in the District assessment.
 Residential Assessments
 Owner occupied residential property which is taxed under Section 12-43-220 (c) will not be
 assessed unless the owner gives the governing body written permission to include the property
 within the improvement district. Multi-unit residential property and non-owner occupied horizontal
 property regime units which are not taxed or will not be taxed pursuant to Section 12-43-220 (c)
 will be assessed.

 14


Page 227 of 265
 Non-profit Assessments
 Property held in a non-profit status that does not currently pay ad valorem taxes will not be required
 to pay District assessments by the Vista Partnership Board of Directors. All reasonable efforts will
 be made to include non-profit properties on a voluntary basis in the District assessment.




 15


Page 228 of 265
 Section 8: Governing The Business Improvement District
 Private Sector, Management/Implementation Organization
 Through a contract with the governing body (i.e., City of Columbia), a property owner-led, private
 sector, non-profit district management/implementation organization is expected to implement the
 improvements and activities defined in the Plan and to manage the day-to-day operations of the
 District. This group’s professional management staff is expected to handle communications and
 administration for the District. The Board of this non-profit organization will be representative of
 property owners within the district. Upon creation of the non-profit district management
 organization, the Board may choose to contract with an established management entity to jumpstart
 services and reduce overhead.
 The City of Columbia as the governing body, must approve the 10-year implementation plan. The
 Vista Business Improvement District budgets and policies may be refined annually within the
 limitations set forth in the district implementation plan, by the board of the private sector
 management/implementation organization. During the term of the District, any changes to the
 implementation plan that are not within the limitations set forth for changes in the plan must be
 approved by the City Council.
 On a yearly basis the management/implementation organization will issue a report summarizing the
 accomplishments of the district as well as a report of the financial activities of the district. The
 report will be submitted to the City Council as the governing body and to each assessment-paying
 property owner.




 16


Page 229 of 265
 Section 9: Continuation Of City Services
 All BID services are supplemental. They are designed to enhance—not replace—existing municipal
 services. The City of Columbia maintains existing services at verifiable “baseline” service levels.

 INFORMATION
 Except as provided in this paragraph, the term “value” means “the consideration paid or to be paid in money or money’s worth
 for the realty.’ Consideration paid or to be paid in money’s worth includes, but is not limited to, other realty, personal property,
 stocks, bonds, partnership interest and other intangible property, the forgiveness or cancellation of a debt, the assumption of a
 debt, and the surrendering of any right. The fair market value of the consideration must be used in calculating the consideration
 paid in money’s worth. Taxpayers may elect to use the fair market value of the realty being transferred in determining fair
 market value of the consideration. In the case of realty transferred between a corporation, a partnership, or other entity and a
 stockholder, partner, or owner of the entity, and in the case of realty transferred to a trust or as a distribution to a trust
 beneficiary, “value” means the realty’s fair market value. A deduction from value is allowed for the amount of any lien or
 encumbrance existing on the land, tenement, or realty before the transfer and remaining on the land, tenement, or realty after
 the transfer. (This includes, pursuant to Code Section 12-59-140(E)(6), any lien or encumbrance on realty in possession of a
 forfeited land commission which may subsequently be waived or reduced after the transfer under a signed contract or agreement
 between the lien holder and the buyer existing before the transfer.) Taxpayers may elect to use the fair market value for property
 tax purposes in determining fair market value under the provisions of the law.

 Exempted from the fee are deeds:
 (1) transferring realty in which the value of the realty, as defined in Code Section 12-24-30, is equal to or less than one hundred
 dollars;
 (2) transferring realty to the federal government or to a state, its agencies and departments, and its political subdivisions,
 including school districts;
 (3) that are otherwise exempted under the laws and Constitution of this State or of the United States;
 (4) transferring realty in which no gain or loss is recognized by reason of Section 1041 of the Internal Revenue Code as defined
 in Section 12-6-40(A);
 (5) transferring realty in order to partition realty as long as no consideration is paid for the transfer other than the interests in
 the realty that are being exchanged in order to partition the realty;
 (6) transferring an individual grave space at a cemetery owned by a cemetery company licensed under Chapter 55 of Title 39;
 (7) that constitutes a contract for the sale of timber to be cut;
 (8) transferring realty to a corporation, a partnership, or a trust as a stockholder, partner, or trust beneficiary of the entity or so
 as to become a stockholder, partner, or trust beneficiary of the entity as long as no consideration is paid for the transfer other
 than stock in the corporation, interest in the partnership, beneficiary interest in the trust, or the increase in value in the stock or
 interest held by the grantor. However, except for transfers from one family trust to another family trust without consideration
 or transfers from a trust established for the benefit of a religious organization to the religious organization, the transfer of realty
 from a corporation, a partnership, or a trust to a stockholder, partner, or trust beneficiary of the entity is subject to the fee, even
 if the realty is transferred to another corporation, a partnership, or trust;
 (9) transferring realty from a family partnership to a partner or from a family trust to a beneficiary, provided no consideration
 is paid for the transfer other than a reduction in the grantee’s interest in the partnership or trust. A “family partnership” is a
 partnership whose partners are all members of the same family. A “family trust” is a trust, in which the beneficiaries are all
 members of the same family. The beneficiaries of a family trust may also include charitable entities. “Family” means the grantor
 and the grantor’s spouse, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and the spouses and
 lineal descendants of any the above. A “charitable entity” means an entity which may receive deductible contributions under
 Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code as defined in Section 12-6-40(A);
 (10) transferring realty in a statutory merger or consolidation from a constituent corporation to the continuing or new
 corporation;
 (11) transferring realty in a merger or consolidation from a constituent partnership to the continuing or new partnership;
 (12) that constitutes a corrective deed or a quitclaim deed used to confirm title already vested in the grantee, provided that no
 consideration of any kind is paid or is to be paid under the corrective or quitclaim deed;
 (13) transferring realty subject to a mortgage to the mortgagee whether by a deed in lieu of foreclosure executed by the
 mortgagor or deed pursuant to foreclosure proceeding;
 (14) transferring realty from an agent to the agent’s principal in which the realty was purchased with funds of the principal,
 provided that a notarized document is also filed with the deed that establishes the fact that the agent and principal relationship
 existed at the time of the original purchase as well as for the purpose of purchasing the realty;
 (15) transferring title to facilities for transmitting electricity that is transferred, sold, or exchanged by electrical utilities,
 municipalities, electric cooperatives, or political subdivisions to a limited liability company which is subject to regulation under
 the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. Section 791(a)) and which is formed to operate or to take functional control of electric
 transmission assets as defined in the Federal Power Act.

 Maple Street Traffic Calming Measures


 Dear David Brewer,


 This letter is to inform you that Old Shandon Neighborhood Association met on June 17, 2025
 and unanimously approved the location of the three traffic calming humps located on Maple
 Street at approximately the mid-blocks between Devine Street and Lee Street, Lee Street and
 Preston Street and Preston Street and Cypress Street as shown on the sketch provided by the City
 of Columbia. In addition, Old Shandon also voted to approve the City of Columbia to move
 forward to study the entire Old Shandon neighborhood to ascertain if other traffic calming humps
 would be necessary. Old Shandon’s boundaries are roughly within Devine Street, Maple Street,
 Millwood Avenue and MLK Park.
 Our residential expert on these matters and a resident along Maple Street, Hoyt Burnett, has been
 designated from the neighborhood association to work alongside your office to follow up with
 the city regarding the installation of the traffic calming humps.


 Thank you in advance and we look forward to working with your office to strengthen safety
 measures for the Old Shandon Neighborhood.




 Sincerely,
 Ashley Page Bookhart

 Old Shandon Neighborhood President

Public Hearing & First Reading for Zoning / Planning Matters

16. ANNEXATION, FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT, AND ZONING MAP
 AMENDMENT for 6701 Windwan Drive and NE/S Highway 77, Richland County TMS#
 16408-02-06 and 16408-02-17 (portion)
 Ordinance No.: 2026-028 - Annexing 6701 Windwan Drive and NE/S Highway 77,
 Richland County TMS# 16408-02-06 and 16408-02-17 (portion) into the City of
 Columbia, South Carolina, and Incorporating said property into Columbia Compass:
 Envision 2036 and the Official Zoning Map

 Council District: 4

 Proposal: Request to annex the properties, assign the land use classification of
 Urban Edge Residential Large Lot (UER-2) and the assignment of zoning of
 Residential Single Family – Large Lot District (RSF-1) for a pending annexation. The
 property is currently classified as Neighborhood (Medium Density) and zoned
 General Commercial (GC) and Residential 2 (R2) by Richland County.

 Owner/Applicant: Peggy M. Lawrence and WCB Properties LLC / James Kizer, Wilson
 Company of South Carolina, LLC

 Staff Recommendation: Approval

 PC Recommendation: 03/12/26; Recommend Approval (7-0)

Council opened the public hearing at 4:37 p.m.

Mr. Joe Burns, 6612 Frances Street expressed concerns about the proposed development
behind Pennington Acres, citing increased traffic on narrow residential streets and potential
safety risks. He stated that the project would alter the neighborhood’s character and could
impact property values. He requested denial of the proposal or, at minimum, a
comprehensive traffic and infrastructure study before its approval.

Mr. Andy Love, 1620 Lady Street opposed the rezoning, citing past denial due to traffic
concerns. He said nearby growth has already increased traffic and higher density would




 Page 7 of 15
worsen congestion. He supported a lower-density plan of about 40 units and raised concerns
about drainage issues.

Mayor Rickenmann asked for clarification, stating that his understanding was that the
zoning designation for the property is medium density.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services clarified
that “neighborhood medium density” is a future land use classification under Richland
County’s comprehensive plan and not an actual zoning designation. He explained that the
property is currently zoned General Commercial in the County, while the proposed City
zoning is RSF-1, a large-lot, single-family residential designation. He noted that RSF-1 is
equivalent to the County’s R2 zoning and represents the City’s lowest-density residential
classification.

Mayor Rickenmann asked what that would look like in a potential development.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services
explained that the RSF-1 designation requires approximately 15,000-square-foot lots. He
noted that while there may be options for alternative layouts with smaller individual lots,
the overall density of the development would remain the same.

Mayor Rickenmann asked for clarification, noting that while the property is currently zoned
commercial in the County, if it were rezoned to residential, it would have the same density
as the County’s R2 designation.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services said
roughly yes.

Ms. Erika Hammond, MMC, CPM, City Clerk read comments submitted by Ms. Kate Cubbler,
who expressed opposition to the rezoning. Ms. Cubbler requested that an access road to
the proposed development not be routed through the existing Wingard Street and Frances
Street neighborhoods. She noted concerns about the loss of green space, displacement of
wildlife, and the anticipated disruption from construction. She asked for consideration of the
impact on current residents.

Mr. Philip Laughridge, CEO / The Wilson Company said the request is a downzoning from
General Commercial to Residential Single Family - Large Lot District (RSF-1) for about 79
single-family homes. He noted the site could support higher-intensity uses but emphasized
a lower-density, infill approach, with efforts to preserve trees and include green space.

Mayor Rickenmann asked whether the development could be designed to maintain an in-
town feel by preserving existing trees and incorporating appropriate buffer areas.

Mr. Philip Laughridge, CEO / The Wilson Company said they intend to preserve as many
trees as possible and incorporate appropriate buffers. He noted that they are also exploring
City provisions that allow for smaller lot sizes in exchange for increased open space and
green areas within the development.

Councilor Brennan asked whether utilizing smaller lots in exchange for preserving trees and
open space would increase the number of homes, or if the development would remain
capped at 79 units.

Mr. Philip Laughridge, CEO / The Wilson Company noted that while lot sizes can be reduced,



 Page 8 of 15
the overall number of homes cannot increase. In exchange for smaller lots, the developer is
required to provide larger buffers around neighboring properties and incorporate additional
green space within the development.

Ms. Joelene Marks expressed concerns about density calculations and differences between
Richland County and City zoning classifications. She questioned the proposed lot sizes for
development and its proximity to her property. While acknowledging the current commercial
zoning, she requested clearer distinctions between low- and medium-density residential
classifications.

Mayor Rickenmann clarified that the property is currently zoned commercial in Richland
County, which allows for higher-density development, including multifamily uses. He noted
that the proposed development is less dense than what could be permitted by right under
the current zoning.

Councilor Johnson encouraged residents to work with staff to understand current zoning and
meet with the Zoning Administrator for clarification. He noted that later stages, like site plan
review, can address concerns about access, buffers, and tree preservation.

Ms. Jolene Marks said she reviewed City and County documents and researched the issue.
She said that unchanged roads and limited traffic signals cannot handle additional traffic
and urged further infrastructure review before development.

Councilor Herbert left the meeting at 5:00 p.m.

Councilor Brennan asked if a heightened traffic study is needed, due to the density and
depth of the neighborhood.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services
explained that a traffic study may be required depending on a determination by City traffic
engineers. He noted that the applicant may choose to conduct one. He also shared that
Richland County’s R2 zoning includes minimum lot sizes ranging from 11,000 to 18,000
square feet, which aligns with the City’s 15,000-square-foot standard.

Councilor Brennan said that Leesburg Road needs attention from DOT, including traffic lights
and updated traffic studies.

Mayor Rickenmann recommended approving the annexation on first reading and then
engaging the neighborhood to present and refine the plan.

Councilor Brennan said there needs to be additional conversations and ultimately a traffic
study; this affects more than this neighborhood.

Councilor Brown said that we are at the beginning of the process. From a developmental
standpoint, it's going to be difficult for these high growth areas to never be developed.
We're much better off having this in the city as low density than we are in the county and
finding out that you're going to have commercial development there. We would do
everything we can to safeguard the neighborhood and be involved with what's going on.

Councilor Brennan asked if any other land use board decisions would come back to Council if
we move on from this.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Developmental Services



 Page 9 of 15
clarified that the Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing subdivisions to ensure
they comply with the City’s development regulations. Nothing else comes back to City
Council.

Councilor Brown asked whether the project would be approved if it meets zoning
requirements alone.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Developmental Services said
correct.

Councilor Brown asked whether there would be a requirement for a study related to ingress
and egress for the proposed development.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Developmental Services said
subdivision plans are reviewed by multiple departments to ensure compliance with City
requirements. He noted that the Planning Commission evaluates whether proposals meet
development regulations and existing plans. He also emphasized that Planning Commission
meetings are public and that community input is an important part of the review process.

Councilor Brown asked if we have any authority to require a traffic study.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Developmental Services said
you cannot condition an approval on a traffic study.

Upon a motion made by Mr. Brown and seconded by Mr. Johnson, Council voted
unanimously to give first reading approval to the Annexation, Future Land Use Map
Amendment, and Zoning Map Amendment for 6701 Windwan Drive and NE/S Highway 77,
Richland County TMS# 16408-02-06 and 16408-02-17 (portion) and Ordinance No.: 2026-
028 - Annexing 6701 Windwan Drive and NE/S Highway 77, Richland County TMS# 16408-
02-06 and 16408-02-17 (portion) into the City of Columbia, South Carolina, and
Incorporating said property into Columbia Compass: Envision 2036 and the Official Zoning
Map.

Councilor Bailey requested that the item not be placed on the Consent Agenda for the next
meeting.

Councilor Johnson asked if a representative from the neighborhood was willing to serve as a
point of contact. He would like to ensure they are included throughout the process.

Mr. Philip Laughridge, CEO / The Wilson Company said they are willing to continue working
with the neighborhood and have already been meeting with City staff to address design
considerations and concerns. He noted that consultations with staff began prior to
purchasing the property to ensure the proposed development was feasible.

 Staff Recommendation: Approval

 PC Recommendation: 3/12/2026; Recommend Approval (6-0)

Mayor Rickenmann asked if there are three parcels and are we going to make them one.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services said yes.

Councilor Brennan asked the applicant if he owned the parcels next to the proposed parcels.

Mr. Jason Holliday, applicant said no. Only those three parcels are involved. The one to the
right remains individually owned.

Councilor Brennan asked about the density.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services
explained that the current Residential Two Family - Mill Village District (RD-MV) zoning
allows approximately 13.2 units per acre, while the proposed Residential Mixed District (RM-
1) zoning reduces density to about 8.7 units per acre. He noted that this change better
aligns with the proposed development, which includes duplex-style multifamily housing.

Councilor Brennan asked about the number of proposed beds.

Mr. Jason Holliday, applicant said the duplex has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Upon a motion made by Mr. Brennan and seconded by Mr. Bailey, Council voted
unanimously to give first reading approval to the Zoning Map Amendment for 84, 92, 94,
