Item #1. PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, each year the City of Dover, Delaware celebrates the last Friday in April as "Arbor Day. " Established by J Sterling Morton, a Nebraska pioneer, on April 10, 1872. In 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal holiday whose mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Arbor Day observances are also an integral part of community recognition programs such as Tree City USA; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover was named a Tree City USA in 2022 for the thirty-third consecutive year by the National Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of the City's outstanding urban forestry program. Arbor Day is an occasion to plant trees and spotlight the numerous natural benefits that trees provide. Trees help absorb the sounds of traffic in urban areas by 40%, neighborhoods with trees are seven to nine degrees cooler than those without, trees also reduce energy costs by up to 25% by shading buildings and protecting them from winter winds; and WHEREAS, homes with trees have higher property values, and green space plays a major role in improving mental and physical health. Planting and maintaining trees absorbs carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, mitigating the effects of climate change; and WHEREAS, publicly demonstrating our commitment to the environment is a great way to build pride among the City of Dover residents, as well as to position our community as an attractive place to live. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim April 28th, 2023 as ARBOR DAY in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to support efforts to care for trees along our streets, in our parks, and in our yards. As the City of Dover plants trees on public property, 1urge all citizens to plant trees on their properties to enhance the environment and promote the well-being of present and future generations.

APPLICATION SUMMARY This application is for Review of an Annexation Request and Rezoning Request for a parcel of land totaling 0.611 acres+/- located at 273 Acorn Lane. The property is currently zoned RS-1 Page 21

Item #5. AX-23-02 Lands of Christine L Kelleher at 273 Acorn Ln: Annexation Planning Commission Recommendation Report of March 20, 2023 Page 3 (Residential Single Family Zone) in Kent County. The proposed Zoning is R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The property is located on the west side of Acorn Lane between Revolutionary Boulevard and South Hancock Avenue. The annexation category according to Dover’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan is Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas and the land use designation is Residential Medium Density. The property owner is Christina L. Kelleher. Property Address: 273 Acorn Lane. Tax Parcel: ED-00-068.19-01-13.00-000. Proposed Council District 3. Ordinance #2023-02. Existing Property The property is located on the west side of Acorn Lane and between Revolutionary Boulevard and South Hancock Avenue. The current boundary of the City of Dover surrounds the parcel on one side to the north. The property includes an existing single-family detached dwelling. The property is currently zoned RS-1 (Residential Single Family Zone) in Kent County. Surrounding Land Uses To the west and southwest, the property is surrounded by single-family dwellings on similar sized lots zoned RS-1 located in the Kent County. Directly to the south is a vacant lot zoned RS-1 with Kent County. Across Acorn Lane is the residential subdivision of Patriot Village which is zoned RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone) and includes a series of single family detached dwelling flanking the entrance road of Revolutionary Boulevard with townhouse units deeper in the development. To the southwest across Acorn Lane is another residential subdivision known as Independence Village where properties are zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and single family detached dwellings. II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REVIEW In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Potential Annexation Areas (Map 13 -1) identifies the property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, trash).” For Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas, it notes in the Recommendations that “the City will not extend sewer and/or water infrastructure to Category 1 areas unless the property owners annex into the City” with consideration given for issues of health, safety and welfare. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, page 13-9 notes that the Zoning Review may include: • Proposed zoning be in compliance with the land use category shown on Map 13-2 and used in conjunction with Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix; • Character and compatibility of the surrounding land uses and properties; • The street type and capacity serving the property; • Environmental concerns and conditions that may influence land use and zoning; • Market concerns and conditions; • The compatibility with the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas identifies the Land Use Classification for this property to be Residential Medium Density. The goals and recommendations for the Page 22

Item #5. AX-23-02 Lands of Christine L Kelleher at 273 Acorn Ln: Annexation Planning Commission Recommendation Report of March 20, 2023 Page 4 Residential Medium Density Land Use are listed in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan excerpts presented below: Goals: Residential Land Uses To develop and maintain an adequate supply of housing of varying type, size, and densities that are aesthetically pleasing and located within neighborhoods designed or redesigned to promote convenience, conservation, and access to the greater community, but which are properly buffered through distance and landscaping from incompatible land uses. Policies: Residential Land Uses • Allow flexibility in housing styles and types while regulating gross density within residential developments. • Require linkage streets and sidewalks between adjoining residential subdivisions and street right-of way stubs to adjoining vacant developable land. • Encourage the separation of residential areas from incompatible uses through buffering distances and the use of transitional zoning categories. • Encourage high density residential development in infill areas that are near essential services, public transit, and employment opportunities. • Permit limited compatible neighborhood commercial uses that support surrounding residences within residential areas. The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Residential Medium Density Land Uses (page 12-4): Recommendation for Residential Medium Density Residential Medium Density land uses involve a maximum gross density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre. This type of development may include single family houses on smaller lots, duplexes, townhouses, and some apartments. Some Manufactured Home Park developments would also be considered Residential Medium Density. Medium density residential uses are permitted in the following zoning districts: R-8 (One Family Residence Zone), R-7 (One Family Residence Zone), RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone), RM- 2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) planned to reflect the historic patterns and mix of land uses common to Dover’s early development, RG-1 (General Residence Zone), RG-2 (General Residence Zone), RG-3 (Group Housing Zone), RGO (General Residence and Office Zone), and MH (Manufactured Housing Zone). The Land Development Plan recommends that Residential Medium Density uses be permitted near existing and planned service and employment centers and in locations well supported by transportation infrastructure and mass transit services. Areas identified as Medium Density Residential can be looked at as potential receiving areas under a transfer of development rights program. Areas in the northern portion of the City are appropriate for Residential Medium Density development. Page 23

RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING STAFF: The request for the R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) is for a zone that focuses on one-family residences (detached dwellings) on lots of a minimum 8,000 SF size. Staff recommends the annexation of the property at 273 Acorn Lane and its rezoning to R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) be approved as requested. The subject property is in the City’s Annexation Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan as Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas with a Land Use Classification as Residential Medium Density. This is a High Priority Annexation Area since it is an enclave and will help fill in one of the holes in the City of Dover Boundary. The R-8 zoning is consistent with other development in the surrounding area of this parcel includes a number of residential zones ranging from R-20 to R-8 and RM-1 zones. The R-8 zoning accommodates the current use of the property as a single-family dwelling. The property is also already served by the City electric. This Annexation/Rezoning Request does not grant approval of a specific use for the property but makes its land use subject to a listing of uses permitted and potential conditional uses as allowed in the R-8 zoning district. Staff notes that any potential redevelopment for the site or changes of use for the existing building would have to be in line with the zoning classification and would Page 26

Item #5. AX-23-02 Lands of Christine L Kelleher at 273 Acorn Ln: Annexation Planning Commission Recommendation Report of March 20, 2023 Page 8 similarly have to follow all development design guidelines of the Zoning Ordinance. Were the Application for Annexation/Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Site Development Plans and/or Permits for review for any new use of the site or the building. At the present time, the property is expected to remain as a single family detached residences with the only improvements related to making connections to City water and/or sewer services. The parcel meets the lot dimensions for a parcel zoned R-8 and the current dwelling appears to comply with the bulk standards for setbacks and lot coverage. Any non-conformity of the existing buildings’ uses and placement regarding the bulk standards of the R-8 would be subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 7 – Nonconforming Buildings and Uses. This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A Public Hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. V. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW FOR RECOMMENDATION As part of the Annexation Request, the City of Dover zoning district is to be determined; therefore, it is a request for a type of zoning map amendment which changes the zoning district of a property. The Planning Commission as part of their public hearing and review process will provide a recommendation on the zoning to City Council. As part of the process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the Planning Commission must evaluate the following factors when considering the request: Article 10 § 5.36 Report of the planning commission. Regarding each application for a zoning map amendment, the planning commission shall provide a report to the city council stating a recommended action with regards to the proposed amendment, along with the commission's evaluation of the following factors: (A) Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change would be compatible with the existing uses and zones in the area concerned; (B) Whether adequate public services and infrastructure exist or can be created or expanded to serve the needs of any additional demand as a result of such change; and (C) Whether the proposed change is in accordance with the city's current comprehensive plan. A Recommendation Report from the Planning Commission is to be forwarded to City Council for their consideration of the Annexation/Rezoning Application. This document and its attachments make up the Recommendation Report. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION: At the Hybrid (In-Person and Virtual) Planning Commission Meeting of March 20, 2023, the Application AX-23-02 was represented by Christina Kelleher as the property owner. During the Public Hearing, no members of the public spoke, and no written comments were received. Page 27

Item #5. AX-23-02 Lands of Christine L Kelleher at 273 Acorn Ln: Annexation Planning Commission Recommendation Report of March 20, 2023 Page 9 The Planning Commission’s motion was to recommend approval for Annexation & Rezoning application AX-23-02 Lands of Christina L. Keller at 273 Acorn Lane with the proposed R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and resulted in vote of 8-0 in favor and no votes in opposition (one member absent). The reasons cited for the approval include the testimony of the applicant regarding connection to City Services and that the proposed change is in accordance with the City’s current Comprehensive Plan as a Category 1: High Priority Area for annexation. The Review Report also noted the proposed change is compatible with existing uses and zones in the area concerned and that adequate public services and infrastructure exist or can be created to serve the needs. See also the included excerpt of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the March 20, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting. The comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee (D.A.C.) are also provided. VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT 1) From the agency comments received, it appears that ability to provide City water and sewer is feasible due to the proximity to existing infrastructure along Acorn Lane. It would be the property owner’s responsibility to cover all costs associated with extending and connecting services to the existing dwelling. 2) Regarding connection to City services (water and/or sanitary sewer) the applicant must contact the City’s Department of Water & Wastewater for procedures, permitting and impact fees. 3) Upon annexation into the City of Dover, the property will be subject to the provisions of the Dover Code of Ordinances. This includes procedures such as review processes for plans and permits for construction activities, licensing, etc. 4) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Annexation & Rezoning application does not represent a Building Permit or other construction activity permit approval. A separate application submission showing all improvements is required before issuance of permits by the City of Dover.

Item #5. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION March 20, 2023 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes – Draft The Meeting of the City of Dover Planning Commission was held on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 7:00 PM as an In-Person Meeting and also using the phone/videoconferencing system WebEx. The Meeting Session was conducted with Chair Mrs. Maucher presiding. Members present were Mr. Cooper, Mr. Roach, Dr. Jones, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Welsh (virtual), Mrs. Malone (virtual) and Mrs. Maucher. Mrs. Denney was absent. Staff members present were Mrs. Mary Ellen Gray, Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Mr. Julian Swierczek, Ms. Katherine Ohemke, Mr. Jason Lyon (virtual), and Mrs. Kristen Mullaney. NEW APPLICATION AX-23-02 Lands of Christina L. Kelleher at 273 Acorn Lane - Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council of an Annexation Request and Rezoning Request for a parcel of land totaling 0.611 acres+/- located at 273 Acorn Lane. The property is currently zoned RS-1 (Residential Single-Family Zone) in Kent County. The proposed Zoning is R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The property is located on the west side of Acorn Lane between Revolutionary Boulevard and South Hancock Avenue. The annexation category according to Dover’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan is Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas and the land use designation is Residential Medium Density. The property owner is Christina L. Kelleher. Property Address: 273 Acorn Lane. Tax Parcel: ED-00-068.19-01-13.00-000. Proposed Council District 3. Ordinance #2023-03. The First Reading of this Annexation Request was held on February 13, 2023. Public Hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled for March 20, 2023 and City Council on April 10, 2023. Representatives: Ms. Christina Kelleher, property owner (attending virtually) Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she would refer the Commission to the DAC Report. As noted, this is a property at 273 Acorn Lane. Our Comprehensive Plan designates it as a Category 1: High Priority Annexation Area with a land use classification of Residential Medium Density. Currently, there is a single family dwelling on the property zoned RS-1 (Residential Single Family Zone) in Kent County and the proposed use would be to continue that single family dwelling. They would like to take the opportunity to hopefully connect to City water and sewer to resolve some of the issues that they have with the property currently. It is already served by City of Dover Electric, and the proposed zoning is R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). In this case of an Annexation, Planning Commission is making a recommendation to City Council regarding the Annexation and the appropriate zoning classification for the property. Ms. Kelleher stated that she is the owner of 273 Acorn Lane. The property has been in her family for years and she is just looking to be able to connect to City services. She has read all of the information that has been sent to her and at this time, she doesn’t have any comments or questions. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 20, 2023 Page 1 of 2 Page 36

Item #5. Mrs. Maucher asked what the reason was for the zoning change. We do these things, and she thinks that they are seeing the effect of sometimes changing and the unintended consequences. There are houses of worship and some of the other things that are allowed in R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) that may not be allowed in RG-1 (General Residence Zone). She is just curious for the reason and if it’s just simply to connect to City services. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the RS-1 (Residential Single Family Zone) that the property is currently is a Kent County zoning classification. Upon Annexation into the City of Dover, a City of Dover zoning classification must be selected. R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) is one of the ones that this property is eligible for and probably the most reasonable of the residential zones that are allowed for this property under our Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Maucher stated that not knowing the possible uses, are there any that is more strictly just to maintain it as a residential use? Again, she thinks that they have kind of seen what can occur with a Rezoning. Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the other residential districts that are offered are other One Family Residence Zones. It could potentially be R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and you would be looking at the same use list. Actually, all of the other residential zones that it could become are either more intense in the types of units that would be allowed there and still continue to refer to a number of conditional use opportunities that would require additional review just like if it was R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing and then after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for AX-23-02 Lands of Christina L. Kelleher at 273 Acorn Lane and the Rezoning request because in the Comprehensive Plan it is a Category 1: High Priority Annexation Area and he also bases it on the testimony of Ms. Kelleher who spoke tonight, seconded by Mr. Cooper and the motion was carried 8-0 by roll call vote with Mrs. Denney absent. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on what he stated in the motion. Mr. Baldwin voting yes. Dr. Jones voting yes. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mrs. Malone voting yes; for reasons stated. Mr. Cooper voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion. Mr. Roach voting yes. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; for reasons stated in the motion.

Item #6. MI-23-01A and B – Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: Amendments to Map 13-1 and Map 13-2 Lands of Calpine Holdings, LLC – Two Properties on White Oak Road Planning Commission Recommendation Report of February 21, 2023 Page 5 of 9 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request, Staff has prepared Exhibit Maps showing the current and proposed Annexation Areas (excerpts of Map 13-1) and current and proposed Land Use Classifications (excerpts of Map 13-2). III. PROPERTY BACKGROUND The two subject properties consist of an unaddressed parcel (Property a, Parcel 49.00) located north of White Oak Road and the property addressed as 3015 White Oak Road (Property b, Parcel 48.00). These are located to the east of the incorporated limits of the City of Dover. They share a property boundary with the lands within the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (previously known as Garrison Oak Technology Park). The northern subject parcel contains woodland areas while the southern parcel includes agricultural fields which have previously been under cultivation along White Oak Road. Contained on these properties are also wetland areas, a tax ditch network, a stream, and other drainage conveyances that cross the properties. The applicant has previously filed an application with Kent County for development of a solar panel array on 94.6 acres of the 246.96 acres (Conditional Use Site Plan Application CS-22-02 Calpine Kent County Solar Energy Center). The Application CS-22-02 is currently on hold as its consideration is tabled by Kent County Levy Court. IV. 2019 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 13 – Growth and Annexation Plan outlines the annexation policy statements including benefits of annexation and annexation goals and policies. For lands considered for annexation, the Plan identifies distinct categories of annexation potential: Category 1 – High Priority Annexation Areas (enclaves); Category 2 – Priority Annexation Areas (0-10 years); Category 3 – Areas to Be considered for Long Term Annexation (5-10+ Years); and Areas of Concern. The Comprehensive Plan states that lands in the Areas of Concern are not intended for annexation (in the 10 year timeframe of the Plan), but the city has a vested interest in their future. Map 13-1: Potential Annexation Areas Plan Map depicts these areas in a colored coded format on a map. See also discussion of Annexation Plan Categories on pages 13-6 through 13-8. • The 2019 Comprehensive Plan depicts the subject area (two properties) as no identified Annexation Area and as an Area of Concern on Map 13-1. The Request is to revise the Annexation Plan Category for these two subject parcels near White Oak Road to Category 2. Designation as Category 2 – Priority Annexation Area would allow the City to consider annexation of the properties once the amendment process is complete. The second component of the Annexation Plan is the classification of Potential Land Uses for the Annexation Areas; see page 13-8 and Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas. Map 13-2 depicts Land Use Classification for properties in the Annexation Areas of Category 1 and Category 2. The Land Use Classification is color coded on the map and utilizes the Land Use Classifications also found in the Land Development Plan (Chapter 12). The associated Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix lists each Land Use Category and associated Zoning Districts. Page 45

MI-23-01A and B – Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: Amendments to Map 13-1 and Map 13-2 Lands of Calpine Holdings, LLC – Two Properties on White Oak Road Planning Commission Recommendation Report of February 21, 2023 Page 6 of 9 • With a change in the Annexation Plan Category of the subject parcels near White Oak Road to Category 2, then Potential Land Use Classifications are to be identified. The Request is to identify the Land Use Classification as Public & Private Utilities based on the intended use by the applicant. Regarding the Land Use Classification of Public & Private Utilities, this is discussed in Chapter 12 – Land Development Plan beginning on page 12-20. The general polices for and the statement on Public & Private Utilities are listed in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan excerpts presented as follows: PUBLIC UTILITIES (Excerpt from 2019 Comprehensive Plan, page 12-20) Public Utilities include such systems as clean water, electricity production, and stormwater management as well as the removal of waste products. This makes the infrastructure that supports these activities vital to the well-being of the people who live, work, and play in the City of Dover. Similarly, the Comprehensive Plan must reflect the importance of continuing efforts to keep the maintenance and improvement of our Public Utilities infrastructure as a vital component of our plans moving forward. For the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the City of Dover has created a new land use category of “Public and Private Utilities” to show the importance of dedicated land to facilitate the needs of day-to-day life in Dover. This land use category will be used where existing utility infrastructure is the primary use activity on the property. There is also the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone which notes where in the City the soils facilitate better than average reabsorption of groundwater. Assumptions: Public Utilities 1. The City will continue to be responsible for water, wastewater, electric and stormwater system, owning, operating and maintaining them for the benefit of residents, customers and businesses. 2. The City will plan for present and future needs as the City grows, assessing costs among users and development interests as meets the best interests of the public 3. The City will consistently strive to achieve and maintain full compliance with State and other regulatory requirements. Goal: Public Utilities Continue to maintain and improve/expand Dover’s Public Utilities in a manner that best facilitates the continued improvement in the quality of life for Dover’s residents. This will also better prepare the City of Dover for future expansion and growth. Policies: Public Utilities 1. Cooperate with other public and private providers to ensure system efficiency and capacity. Page 46

Item #6. MI-23-01A and B – Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: Amendments to Map 13-1 and Map 13-2 Lands of Calpine Holdings, LLC – Two Properties on White Oak Road Planning Commission Recommendation Report of February 21, 2023 Page 7 of 9 2. Actively assess emerging trends, technologies and regulatory schemes as these might impact the operation of the City’s utilities. Recommendations: Public Utilities The Land Development Plan reflects the existing locations of Public Utilities and private utility facilities. These encompass water, sewer, and electric system components such as water towers, pump stations, and electric substations. Examples of private utility facilities include the Dover Solar Park and the Garrison Energy Center. No enlargement of the land use area associated with Public Utilities is proposed at this time. V. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING STAFF: The Planning Staff provides the following recommendations regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: MI-23-01A and MI-23-01B regarding the revision of the Annexation Plan Category and the designation of Land Use Classification. The applicant has requested a change in the Growth and Annexation Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan from an unidentified area and as an Area of Concern to Category 2 – Priority Annexation Area for the two properties. Following our review of the policies for Annexation in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, as well as analysis of the surrounding land uses, proximity to City infrastructure, protection of natural resources, and economic development opportunities, Staff recommends approval of the Amendment A. The subject area is contiguous to lands within the city and in the vicinity of utility infrastructure along White Oak Road, Garrison Oak Drive and Long Point Road, in addition to being adjacent to the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. Additionally, the applicant has requested that the Potential Land Use Classification be identified for the two properties. The Land Use Classification of Public & Private Utilities appears to be consistent with nearby other electric generation facilities and the technology based development with the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. The proposed Land Use Category is compatible with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan associated with energy, green technology, and the development focus of the Garrison Business and Technology Center. Staff recommends approval of Amendment B. Planning Staff finds these requests in support of the overall set of goals established as a framework for the future of Dover in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Table 1-2: 2019 Comprehensive Plan Chapter Goals. (See attached.) This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration in addition to goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Page 47

Item #6. Comp Plan Amendment Request Consistent with Green Energy/Environmental/Tech Park Economic Goals of Dover 2019/2020 Comprehensive Plan Applicant Calpine Holding’s request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to permit annexation of its lands adjacent to the City of Dover Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center with the same IPM-2 Technology Park zoning is consistent with and supports the following referenced goals of the Dover Comp Plan (and see attached supportive excerpt pages from the Dover Comp Plan): The Application is consistent with the following Comp Plan Goals of the 2019/2020 Plan: • Solar Energy production will support Comp Plan Goals of Protecting the Natural Environment, Improving Air Quality and Encouraging Green Development and Sustainable Energy Practices • Solar Energy production will support the Comp Plan Goals of promoting forward-looking, environmentally conscious companies • Solar Energy production supports the Comp Plan Green Energy Goals • Solar Energy production adjacent to the existing Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) with an identical IPM-2 Zoning supports the Comp Plan goals for GOBTC as a location for large Green industries • Solar Energy production by private industry supports the Comp Plan goal favoring the expansion of Private Energy producers in the City at the GOBTC • A large part of the proposed annexation area is already an “Area of Concern” that supports annexation into the City under the Comp Plan Excerpts from the City of Dover Comprehensive Plan are Attached which are supportive of the Applicants intended use as a Solar Energy production facility at this location immediately adjacent to land currently zoned for the same uses (IPM-2) Page 50

Item #6. Adjacent City of Dover Parcels Zoning Analysis The Applicant’s site is immediately adjacent to the City of Dover Garrison Oak Business and Technology Park which is zoned IPM-2 and which contains a Solar Energy facility as well as a Gas Turbine energy facility among other uses. The Applicant seeks the identical IPM-2 zoning so its adjoining property can install a Solar Energy facility as well. These adjacent uses will be completely compatible and desirable under a zoning analysis. The passive nature of the proposed Solar Energy use for the applicants property will also be compatible with the RM and R8 zoned City parcels that are located Southwest of the applicants property since the facility will generate no traffic, odors or sound. A map of these nearby City parcels and their respective zonings is attached to the application. Page 51

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 1 Introduction Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan for the progress of the City. Between 2003 and 2008 there were several amendments to the 2003 Comprehensive Plan Update such as text amendments to the Transportation Plan as well as Land Development Plan map updates. 2008 Dover Comprehensive Plan The 2008 Dover Comprehensive Plan sought to take the essential elements of the 2003 Plan Update and provide a more aggressive plan of action for the City. As in the 2003 Plan Update, citizen participation and public input regarding goals, recommendations and growth and annexation areas played a large part in the formation of the 2008 Plan. While many chapters remained consistent in subject, some chapters were expanded upon individually. With the increase in population within the City and the City providing essential services to more residents and businesses, as well as the expansion of the utility system, Public Utilities & Community Infrastructure Chapter was divided. Some information became the Public Utilities and Infrastructure Plan Chapter in order to address all infrastructure and utility system and services within Dover. Facilities and programs offered to residents became a part of the Community Services and Facilities Chapter. This chapter sought to address public safety, Parks & Recreation programs and services, and community services. Economic development was one of the most pressing issues in Dover. To this end, Economic Development became a new chapter developed by an Economic Development Task Force Committee. The Community Development component addressed in the 2003 Plan became a part of the Housing and Community Development Chapter in 2008. The 2008 Dover Comprehensive Plan used the information gathered and analyzed through public participation workshops, City Commissions and Council input and comprehensive history of the previous five years to set forth goals and recommendations. ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE 2008 As part of the efforts to develop the 2019 Comprehensive Plan project, Staff looked back over the last ten years (2008-2018) to document significant accomplishments that occurred in the City. A number of these items were outlined as Goals and Recommendations or Action Items in the 2008 Dover Comprehensive Plan. The following chart summarizes these Accomplishments by chapter topic. This summary can be viewed as a type of Report Card which allows us to best see how well we worked towards and achieved our goals, and where there is still room for improvement. Table 1-1: Accomplishments 2008-2018 (Report Card Items) Accomplishment 1: Updated Tree Planting and Preservation Ordinance of the Zoning Ordinance. Natural Resources and Accomplishment 2: Updated Environmental Protection section of the Zoning Ordinance, particularly with regards to floodplains and Environmental wetlands.

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 2 Patterns of Change Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 2 PATTERNS OF CHANGE PAT T E R N S O F C H A N G E : L A N D U S E A N D D E V E L O P M E N T AC T I V I T Y APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY Over the period of 2008-2018, the number of plan review and approvals resulting in construction projects was somewhat slower than the previous five years (2003-2007) but it remains steady. Over 2.5 million square feet of nonresidential development was approved including several Master Plans outlining phased multi-year projects. Although the City only annexed 269.58 acres in the ten-year period, Dover remains the commercial and employment core of central Delaware. Institutional, office and retail land uses have dominated new development. Residential construction has seen increased focus on the build-out of previously platted subdivisions rather than applications for new subdivision development. The focus of residential development over the last ten years is the development of multi-family units (apartments). Retail and development have been concentrated along main transportation corridors, while residential development has been in several areas of the City. Institutional uses have expanded to keep pace with the demands of the growing City and Dover’s industrial base has continued to expand with numerous industrial park developments being constructed and enlarged. With the tracking of applications, the pace and type of development activity can be observed. Table 2-1 illustrates the number of applications submitted to the City for review between 2008 and 2018. This table, along with subsequent tables, shows the changes in development activity and uses throughout the City. In the previous six-year period (2002-2007), there were in total 703 applications. It is also noted that there were refinements to the application review process in 2011 (Ordinance #2011-14). These refinements simplified the Site Plan review processes allowing certain projects to complete Zoning Review as part of the Building Permit process when renovating an existing building. The building size and impervious area size that triggered Planning Commission review with a public hearing were also amended making some applications eligible for an Administrative Site Plan review process. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 2 - 1 Page 57

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 2 Patterns of Change Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan uses have followed residential development along DE Route 8 in western Dover. In the recent few years, the Bay Road corridor also has been a focus of redevelopment activity. Additionally, the City is aware of the State policy of discouraging development on lands east of State Route 1 (with the exception of Garrison Oak Business and Technology Park). Governmental and institutional uses are extensive throughout central Dover including the State Capital Complex, Bayhealth Medical Center, and Wesley College. Major institutional uses outside the traditional core area include Delaware State University, Delaware Technical & Community College, Wilmington University Campus, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) administrative campus (Danner Campus), and Kent County Levy Court administrative building. Major industrial uses lie along the railroad line within the south-central planning region and north of Dover Air Force Base. Industrial land uses occupy a small percentage of total area. There are several large industrial complexes including KraftHeinz Foods, Energizer (Playtex Products), former Playtex Apparel facility, Enterprise Business Park, Proctor & Gamble, the Kent County Aeropark, and locations along Horsepond Road and Lafferty Lane. Numerous vacant developable tracts of land exist within the City limits and are distributed throughout the urbanized area. Peripheral areas within and bordering the City are rapidly beginning to develop to the north and west, while the eastern areas of the City have remained predominantly commercial west of State Route 1 and agricultural east of State Route 1, except for two residential subdivisions near the State Route 1 and Route 8 interchange. The southern area of Dover is largely suburban, consisting of numerous single-family neighborhoods. Residential Development Residential development over the past ten years has been characterized by the continued construction to build-out earlier subdivisions (pre-2008 applications), the development of multi- family (apartment) complexes, and the renovation of existing multi-family (apartment) complexes. Residential development has not kept pace with the growing commercial sector likely due to lower development costs and alternative housing selection options beyond City limits. The City has reviewed a limited number of subdivision approvals either in the design or final plan process since 2008. The focus in the planning period was the development review of multi-family apartment complexes. These included Leander Lakes Apartments, The Arbors, Tall Pines, Dove View (The Grande) Apartments Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option (PND: SCHO), Luther Village III Planned Neighborhood Design: Senior Citizen Housing Option (PND: SCHO), and Blue Hen Apartments. There were also several existing multi-family complexes that were reviewed for redevelopment activities: Walker Woods (Village at McKee Branch); Liberty Court; and Whatcoat Apartments (Preserve at Whatcoat). Table 2-5 shows the number of single-family lots and multi-family units approved from 2008 to 2018 in comparison to totals from 2003 to 2007. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 2 - 5 Page 58

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 5 Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Emissions from automobile sources are more difficult for the City to influence. In some ways, the hard work has already been done by others. For instance, fuel and engine technologies have improved over decades in response to pressure from EPA regulations, so that according to the EPA new cars made today are well over 90% cleaner than ones made in 1970. Efficiency gains can only reduce emissions so much, however, especially with the number of cars on the road increasing during that same time. The City has several strategies for checking the growth of auto use in Dover, primarily by providing transportation alternatives and ensuring Dover’s residents have ample opportunity to use them. x The Land Development Plan encourages mixed-use development in Downtown Dover and provides for various well integrated residential and employment centers throughout the City. Additional housing options with Mixed Use areas will promote the desirability of living near work. See Chapter 12 – Land Development Plan for more information. x Opportunities for increased use of public transportation are supported. x Numerous bicycle and pedestrian improvements are being suggested and implemented by DelDOT, the Dover/Kent County MPO and the City; and a major strategy of this plan is to encourage interconnections to provide a continuous bicycle and pedestrian transportation system. x This Plan contains an Economic Development Chapter which seeks to attract business and industry to Dover. More employment opportunities may lead to more people living and working in the same community. Employees who live and work in Dover may find commuting by transit, bicycle or as pedestrians to be viable options. See Chapter 10 – Economic Development for more information. The City recognizes that most residents will still use cars despite transportation alternatives being available. Therefore, in addition to the above, the City also supports the development of new automotive technologies which will further reduce auto emissions. The most significant development on the horizon is efficient and affordable electric vehicles. A potentially massive increase in the number of electric vehicles on the road is likely to occur within this Plan’s timeframe. Discussion of how the City can adapt to this coming trend can be found in the Chapter 9 - Transportation and the Chapter 7 - Utilities. Water Quality and Total Maximum Daily Loads Dover is located within the St. Jones River, Leipsic River, and Little Creek Watersheds which are impaired according to Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Under Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act, states are required to identify all impaired waters and establish total maximum daily loads to restore their beneficial uses (e.g., swimming, fishing, and drinking water). A TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) defines the amount of a given pollutant that may be discharged to a water body from point, nonpoint, and natural background sources and still allow for attainment or maintenance of the applicable narrative and numerical water quality standards. A TMDL is the sum of the individual Waste Load Applications (WLAs) for point sources and Load Allocations (LAs) for nonpoint sources and natural background sources of pollution. A TMDL may include a reasonable margin of safety (MOS) to account for uncertainties regarding the relationship between mass loading and resulting water quality. In short, a TMDL matches the strength, location and timing of pollution sources within a watershed with the inherent ability of the receiving water to assimilate the pollutant without adverse impact. A Pollution Control Strategy (PCS) identifies the Page 5-6 – 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 59

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 5 Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan accommodations for small solar and wind energy systems in the Zoning Ordinance (Article 5, Section 20). These provisions allow homeowners and businesses to install their own power systems, which in turn generate clean on-site energy to reduce the amount of electricity they must buy from the power grid. The City has decided to retire the McKee Run Generation Station effective May 31, 2021. The VanSant Generating Station will likely run for the foreseeable future; however, it is rarely used, even when the demand is high. As the City plans for electric supply in the future, renewable resources, principally solar from large scale facilities, are becoming more financially attractive which will benefit both the environment and ratepayers Reducing overall energy consumption is another route to reducing the climate change impact caused by the City’s power demand. This can be done in many ways; one example is reducing the energy consumption of buildings by improving the efficiency of their heating systems. The Delaware Weatherization Assistance Program helps homeowners burdened by utility bills reduce the amount of heat escaping their homes by adding insulation, patching cracks, and fixing ventilation. Because less heat escapes, the homes’ systems do not have to work as hard to heat the homes, and so consume less energy. There are other programs available that help residents and businesses improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. DNREC’s Energy Efficiency Investment Fund, for instance, provides grants to businesses that either follow a prescribed path or come up with their own innovative way to reduce their energy consumption. Finally, the City can reduce its contribution from industrial sources by working to attract manufacturing and technology companies that are committed to the practice of green industry. The City previously demonstrated its commitment to attracting such industry by developing the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center, which contains fifteen large, shovel-ready lots (four now developed) ideal for technology firms. In 2019, the City renewed its marketing efforts for the Park in hopes of attracting buyers for the remaining lots. Focusing the City’s economic development efforts on green manufacturing and technology firms will help ensure the demand for new industry within the City is fulfilled by forward-looking, environmentally conscious companies instead of those merely practicing “business as usual.” Page 5-14 – 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 60

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 5 Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan x Evaluate the City’s Performance Standards and the lists of permitted and prohibited uses in the City’s industrial zones for possible code updates to ensure the City is both friendly to industrial development and up to date with air quality standards. Goal 4: Encourage Green Development and Sustainable Energy Practices Use code amendments and/or policy amendments and revisions to encourage environmentally sensitive development and allow emerging green trends to be easily established and grown in the City. Recommendation 8: Research and Implement Sustainable Development Practices x Conduct a “vulnerability assessment” of the City to determine which people and places within Dover are most at-risk from climate change pressures including sea-level rise, increased heavy precipitation, and rising temperatures. This assessment can be used to help the City decide what forms of sustainable development practices need the most encouragement. x Evaluate ways to incentivize use of green practices in new development. Some green development practices include infill development, higher densities in areas with access to transit, and green building construction techniques. x Evaluate ways to incentivize improvements to the energy performance of existing buildings. Energy performance improvements can come from adding insulation to reduce dependence on heating and cooling systems, installing energy-efficient appliances, and other changes. x Catalog existing green development and green energy incentives offered by the State and federal governments and other sources and evaluate ways Dover can leverage these incentives. Goal 5: Preserve Access to Open Space and Scenic Resources Protect open spaces and scenic resources in the City while also preserving reasonable public access. While protected open spaces can in turn protect developed areas by absorbing the most direct impacts of climate change, open spaces and scenic resources also have value for their health and recreation benefits to residents and visitors. Recommendation 9: Support City Policies Allowing Public Access and Utilization of Open Space and Scenic Resources x Evaluate the Dover Code of Ordinances and other legislation to identify provisions that potentially limit public access to nature (e.g. parking requirements, use restrictions, fencing and screening requirements, etc.). x Determine what valuable open spaces and scenic resources in the City currently have limited public access and evaluate options for improving access to these areas. x Improve pedestrian, bicycle, and transit networks to parks, natural areas, and the Historic District. x Support programs that promote access to nature (e.g. environmental education programs, Scouts programs). 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 5-17 Page 61

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 7 Public Utilities and Infrastructure Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7 PUBLIC UTILITIES and INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN P U B L I C U T IL I T IES AN D IN F R AS T RU C T U R E Water, wastewater, and energy and their infrastructure play important roles in keeping the public healthy. Water quality requirements like source protection and chlorination exist to prevent contamination of our water supplies and ensure its quality for drinking and other uses. Energy powers our homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals and other critical facilities keeping us safe and healthy. However, certain energy sources (i.e. fossil fuels, coal) also contribute significantly to air pollution and other environmental impacts that have a negative impact on public health. The City of Dover is a full-service utility provider offering electric, water and wastewater services within and beyond the City limits. Additionally, the City owns and manages a storm sewer system that collects and conveys stormwater runoff from City streets to surface waters or stormwater management facilities. WATER UTILITY The City of Dover’s water system began operations in 1882 with an initial system of 13,000 linear feet of pipe and one well. Since its inception, the water utility has grown to include more than 226 miles of pipe and twenty-one (21) wells. Like other areas of Delaware south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the City of Dover relies entirely on groundwater for its water supply. The City is a regional water supplier, supplying water to customers within and beyond the City limits. The City’s system includes interconnection with neighboring systems as well. Currently, the City’s water utility includes approximately 13,000 metered connections. In addition to the metered connections, the City’s water system provides fire protection citywide through a system of fire hydrants. The water system operates as an enterprise fund with operation, maintenance and capital costs supported through user fees. The City of Dover’s water system is supplied by 15 deep wells and 6 shallow wells drawing potable water from three aquifers. The deep wells draw from the Cheswold aquifer and Piney Point aquifer, while the shallow wells draw from the Columbia aquifer. These wells draw an average of 4.7 million gallons of water each day. During summer months, water usage has peaked as high as 9 million gallons per day. The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) has permitted the City to draw as many as 11.043 million gallons of water per day from 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 7 - 1 Page 62

Item #6. Adopted -1.13.2020 Chapter 7 Public Utilities and Infrastructure Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Managing Inflow and Infiltration Inflow of stormwater and infiltration of groundwater into the City’s wastewater collection and transmission system has become an issue as the City’s sewer infrastructure ages. Cracks in the sanitary sewer pipes allow for both stormwater and groundwater to infiltrate. Additionally, in older areas of the City, many sump pump systems and rain gutters discharge directly to the sanitary sewer system. This additional flow places significant stress on Kent County’s wastewater treatment system by increasing the City’s flow to the wastewater treatment plant. It also costs the rate payers within the City of Dover in that the City must pay for all wastewater that is transmitted to the County for treatment, regardless of its source. In response to the issues of inflow and infiltration of stormwater and groundwater into the City’s sanitary sewer system, the City has developed a plan to identify sources of inflow and infiltration and to remove these sources from the system which includes replacing and/or relining aging sewer mains. Electricity and Energy Consumption The City of Dover is seeking to recognize a number of Green Energy Goals to reduce overall consumption where possible to better utilize existing capacity. Currently, there are several solar energy projects that have been authorized in the City’s service area including 337 residential solar installations with a capacity of 3.58 MW and 27 commercial installations with a capacity of 1.98 MW. A number of geothermal units have also been authorized by staff. The City is in the process of evaluating a number of alternative proposals for long-term power generation.

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 9 Transportation Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan COMPLETED AND PLANNED PROJECTS Since 2008 there have been a number of significant transportation improvements in Dover that have served to implement the Comprehensive Plan. Likewise, a number of studies have been completed that have furthered the goals of the Plan. These accomplishments are summarized in the “Completed Projects” section below. Completed Projects The following improvements have been accomplished in Dover or for specific areas within the City since 2008: x Constructed the new Dover Transit Center x Constructed POW-MIA Parkway (formerly known as the West Dover Connector) x Improved the intersection of West Street and North Street x Reconstructed North Street east of the railroad x Developed the 2015 Division Street/Forest Street Dover Capital Gateway Plan and Design Book x Implemented portions of the Delaware Route 8 Concept Plan and Operations Study x Adopted the 2015 Bicycle Plan and 2015 Pedestrian Plan x Installed sidewalks and pedestrian crossings along portions of Route 13 x Completed the key segments of the Senator Bikeway, Capital Trail and other bike and pedestrian plans x Implemented sidewalk and pedestrian crossing (HAWK signal) on Forrest Avenue for Dover High School Prioritized Projects Each year the City is requested to provide a list of transportation improvements to the Secretary of Transportation and the Dover/Kent County MPO that it wishes to see considered by these bodies in developing the DelDOT Project Prioritization Process and the MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program. Not all of the City’s recommendations are ultimately included in these documents nor do their priority necessarily match. In Fall 2019, the City of Dover City Council prioritized (dated September 24, 2019) a series of projects for inclusion into the State of Delaware’s six-year Capital Transportation Program. This prioritization was later revised by City Council in early December 2019. The following listing is the series of transportation improvement projects prioritized by City Council as of December 9, 2019: Garrison Oak Connector Road Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a 385-acre tract zoned IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center) and is the only site in the City to be zoned as such. It has been identified by the City as an ideal location for large technology/green industry firms. Dover City Council desires that DelDOT provide a direct access to State Route 1 via a connector road to White Oak Road. While the State discourages growth east of State Route 1, this tract is acknowledged by both the City of Dover and the State of Delaware as the only large-scale developable land east of State Route 1 in the City of Dover.

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 10 Economic Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan annual Firefly Music Festival, bring a significant number of visitors and tourism dollars into Dover and the State of Delaware In addition to these major commercial firms, several larger retail establishments make their home along the US Route 13 commercial corridor including Sam’s Club, Home Goods, Best Buy, Burlington, Kohl’s, Target, and other retail leaders, and auto dealerships. In addition, large-scale hardware and home improvement warehouse stores are represented including Lowe’s and Home Depot. The corridor also hosts dozens of restaurants as well as a diverse mix of specialty businesses. Several older commercial sites are undergoing redevelopment into attractive groups of retail spaces indicating the fundamental strength of this corridor. The City supports these initiatives. A second commercial corridor has become increasingly defined in Dover along Route 8 (Forest Street and Forrest Avenue) in the western section of the City. This commercial area hosts a mixture of shopping complexes, supermarkets, and neighborhood businesses that provide specialty services and products that draw consumers from the City and immediate area. Implementation of the Corridor Overlay Zone, a zoning overlay adopted in the early 1990s, has altered the appearance of the Route 8 commercial corridor by keeping the buildings closer to the road to maintain the small town, pedestrian accessible atmosphere, rather than the conventional commercial strip. Recent development along this corridor has included the new Dover High School and multi-family residential units. In 2005, Eden Hill Farm was initiated as a Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) consisting of a Residential District, a Professional Office, Medical & Financial district, and a Neighborhood Commercial District with a focus on emerging medical and retail sectors. The Eden Hill Farm TND is being developed in accordance with a General Overall Master Plan and Comprehensive Design Standards Manual (Pattern Book) to create a unique mixed neighborhood. The Eden Hill Medical Center opened to the public in fall 2008 and has experienced expansion with the adjacent Center at Eden Hill, a state-of-the art rehabilitation facility. Nearby, in the Neighborhood Commercial District is a medical office facility operated by Nemours DuPont Pediatrics. Construction of the first housing units in the residential portion of Eden Hill also began in Fall 2008 and currently consists of 83 duplexes and townhouses. The economic downturn in 2008 stalled much of the residential and commercial construction, and recovery has been slow, but interest in both commercial and residential uses has now resumed. Garrison Oak Technical Park (now Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center) The Garrison Oak Tract was purchased by the City, with funding from the State, in 1999 and zoned as IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center). The site was funded through the State’s FY 2000 Bond Bill, which included epilogue language specifying that the site be used as a “high technology industrial park.” Its location on White Oak Road with potential access to State Route 1 has been identified by Dover and the State as a “potential location to promote economic activity.” Recently renamed as the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC), this business park encompasses nearly 400 acres of land. Garrison Oak is an ideal location for large technological/green industry firms that require lot sizes of over 10 acres. The City has taken actions to make the site “shovel-ready” including the creation of a Subdivision Plan, road Page 10 - 6 – 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 67

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 10 Economic Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan improvements within the site, and installation of infrastructure improvements to bring basic utilities to the site parcels. It is estimated that, once developed, the site would generate approximately 1,900 permanent jobs. GOBTC is currently home to the Dover Sun Park (solar facility), Garrison Energy Center’s 309-megawatt electric generation facility, Uzin Utz (flooring technology), and Advantech /Protective Services (a security systems provider). Civil Air Terminal and Kent County Aeropark Two facilities adjacent to Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) offer an unusual opportunity to develop an aviation and aeronautics focused employment center. The Civil Air Terminal (CAT) is located within the City limits and directly abuts DAFB. The Kent County Aeropark lies just west of the CAT. DelDOT owns the existing CAT and leases it to the Delaware River and Bay Authority for operations. The operations are sanctioned and governed by a Joint Use Agreement with the United States Air Force (USAF); that agreement is in negotiations to extend it for another 50 years. At present, the primary use of the CAT is to service occasional civilian charter aircraft and NASCAR race related aircraft and passenger services for the twice-yearly races. The existing Civil Air Terminal site consists of twenty acres including an 870 ft. x 325 ft. aircraft parking apron, a single taxiway connecting to the DAFB Taxiway B, and a 1,650+/- SF single story terminal with an accessory building, parking and fuel storage. In the Kent County Aeropark, immediately next to the Civil Air Terminal, are 13.2 undeveloped acres of a larger 117 +/- acre business park owned and developed by Kent County. The CAT and the four undeveloped parcels of the KCAP together comprise 33.3 acres. These are proposed to be to be rezoned as part of a comprehensive rezoning process to Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone - IPM3 (Industrial Aviation and Aeronautics Center) for industrial uses associated with aviation and aeronautics. The combined site is part of a County-designated employment center and will be marketed for aircraft maintenance, repair and operations; cargo/distribution terminal; aviation training; recreational aircraft terminal; aircraft manufacturing and civilian air cargo carrier temporary parking. The site will be marketed as the Central Delaware Aviation Complex to reflect its new focus. CONTRIBTING ECONOMIC COMPONENTS Tourism Industry Since the 2003 and 2008 Comprehensive Plans, the City has seen significant growth in the hotel sector with 22 hotels now within City limits. This sector is poised for continued growth due in part to the construction of the DE Turf, a multi-court field sports facility located south of Dover near Frederica which opened in 2017. DE Turf will bring considerable interest in accommodations, restaurants and other facilities to serve these visitors as it hosts numerous large tournaments. This contributes considerably to Dover’s economic stability and identity. Historic, cultural and natural resources such as the City's Historic District, parks, waterways and open space, and museums draw thousands of visitors yearly. The City continues to serve as a central location in Delaware that draws tourist and tourism dollars from both the region and nation. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 10 - 7 Page 68

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 10 Economic Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan x Downtown Dover Revitalization x Marketing Garrison Oak x Addressing and designating priority Industrial/Commercial Zones x Promoting Green Technology x Improving infrastructure, attractions, and events to increase tourism x Diversifying Dover’s economy by recruiting new industries that use a skilled work force in addition to adding to the current workforce x Strategic marketing to position Dover as a meetings and leisure travel destination x Retaining current employment base and assisting existing businesses and industry in become more successful x Strengthening economic development partnerships. x Improving general economic conditions (jobs, income, access, etc.) x Promoting healthcare as a major component of the economy x Recognizing the role of higher education to Dover’s economy x Creation of more skilled labor and trade jobs x Promoting tourism Since 2008, several initiatives have been undertaken to strengthen Dover’s economy and focus on growth opportunities, both Downtown and throughout the community. These are described below. Creation of the Downtown Dover Par tnership (DDP) Following the Dover: Downtown Economic Enhancement Strategy 2006 study, a consolidated organization called the Downtown Dover Partnership, (DDP) was established. The Partnership provides stronger leadership and better coordination of activities related to downtown revitalization. Working closely with the City and other Downtown partners, the DDP has focused attention on safety, parking, aesthetics, marketing and reducing vacancy. The DDP’s mission statement reads: “Promote the public welfare of the residents of the City of Dover, Delaware by promoting and furthering in any way, the development of the economic, cultural, and historic resources of the downtown area of the City of Dover, and to provide for the residents, to the extent that the common good and general welfare of the community is served.” The Partnership’s goal is to improve the opportunities for job creation, broaden the tax base through the development of the commercial and residential potential of the Central Dover area, and to maintain and restore the historic architectural and community qualities of the Downtown area consistent with the goals of the National Main Street Program. Restoring Central Dover Plan for the Downtown – 2013 (RCD Plan) The most thorough and recent planning initiative for the Downtown is represented by the 2013 Restoring Central Dover Plan. This comprehensive, community redevelopment effort was led by the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor (NCALL) with strong support from the CenDel Foundation/Greater Kent Committee, the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, and the City of Dover. Intended to address the high-priority needs of low-income Central Dover residents with the goal of achieving long-term benefits by way of affordable housing, neighborhood safety and desirability, opportunities for economic growth, and essential services for children and families, the Restoring Central Dover Plan focused on incremental strategies founded on the idea that revitalization is about reinvesting in both people and place. Its goals were to: bring resources Page 10 - 14 – 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 69

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 10 Economic Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Goal 4: Ensure that Land Development, Zoning, Infrastructure and Other Development Requirements Encourage the Economic Development and Uses Desired Sound economic development and redevelopment is a balance between business opportunities and those regulations and processes designed to promote safe, well-designed, well-planned communities. The intent is to strike that balance between the proper exercise of public policy and a sustainable and viable economy. Recommendation 10: Review and Modify Regulations to ensure that Desired Uses Are Encouraged x Be flexible with contemporary zoning provisions that are responsive to emerging technologies and emerging business opportunities and activities, especially in the health care, arts and entertainment, and tourism sectors. x Implement appropriate zoning and other provisions that support development and expansion of targeted businesses, ensure the appropriateness of uses within respective zones, promote sustainability, encourage balanced growth, promote small businesses and startups, and ensure responsiveness to emerging economic and societal trends. x Update provisions addressing the growing variety and complexity of home occupations and accessory business activities in residential areas as the line defining traditional work evolves. x Actively pursue development of ordinances, policies and strategies to address blight, vacancy, abandonment, environmental contamination, and underutilization of business sites and facilities throughout the City. Goal 5: Actively market the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a City-developed business-ready facility in the City well-suited for larger and technology focused enterprises to help balance the City’s options for economic development and job creation. Capitalize on the GOBTC’s broad appeal to a larger universe of potential business activities consistent with the original intent of the facility and with the IPM2 zoning district. Recommendation 11: Develop a Strategic Marketing Plan for Garrison Oak (GOBTC) x Work with the Kent Economic Partnership and the State to effectively market the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. x Urge DelDOT and the Dover/Kent MPO to undertake planning and design for a dedicated connector from State Route 1 to the Center to improve access and marketability. x Explore the potential of the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center for designation as a foreign trade zone. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 10 - 25 Page 70

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 12 Land Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan transportation infrastructure and mass transit services. Areas identified as Medium Density Residential can be looked at as potential receiving areas under a transfer of development rights program. Areas in the northern portion of the City are appropriate for Residential Medium Density development. North Side Neighborhood: Residential Medium Density The northwestern residential area of City includes the area that is to the north of College Road. This area consists of primarily Medium Density Residential developments such as Emerald Point, The Meadows and Mill Creek. There are also plotted subdivisions that have yet to start construction. Maidstone, Stonebrook East Planned Neighborhood District (PND), and Stonebrook West Planned Neighborhood District (PND) were approved by Planning Commission in 2005 and 2007 to construct a variety of mixed of housing types. White Oak Road Area: Residential Medium Density The Land Development Plan recommends that an area east of State Route 1 on White Oak Road be developed as Residential Medium Density. Bay Village who owns this property zoned RM-2 (Residential Medium Density Zone) could potentially develop it in an environmentally sustainable manner to provide workforce quality housing. While previously there was concern that development of this area could be a “domino” leading to additional development of land east of State Route 1, the State’s purchase of development rights in the area has reduced this concern. Additionally, the site’s location across from Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center makes it a good location for workforce housing. If there is residential development on the Lands of Bay Village, the City shall ensure that the development of the Bay Village site proceeds as a master planned community with transit access and bicycle and pedestrian amenities both within the site and connecting with Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center and other areas to the west. Additionally, the City must ensure that the viability of Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center is protected by requiring that the phasing and design of development on the site minimizes any potential conflicts between the residential and industrial uses and include buffering from the industrial area. West Side Neighborhood: Residential Medium Density Residential Medium Density development on the West Side tends to be located to the periphery of the area where both existing development, ongoing development and vacant lands are found. These areas are buffered by older residential areas and public/institutional uses but could be impacted by traffic and circulation concerns driven by commercial activities along the two major roadways, Route 8/Forest Avenue and McKee/Scarborough Road. Existing mix of housing types such as in the Village of Westover Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) and Village of Cannon Mill Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) are nearing the end of construction in those developments. A newer development, Chestnut Grove Farms has started construction and will build a variety of single-family detached homes, duplexes, and townhouses. East Dover Neighborhood: Residential Medium Density The East Dover Neighborhood essentially consists of developed in older established developments such as Towne Point, White Oak Farms, Baytree, Edgehill, and Schoolview.

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 12 Land Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan aspirations and expectations of its industrial and manufacturing community to support the vitality of these precious resources. 2. A healthy and well-rounded local economy will depend upon diversity in business and employment opportunities. 3. Opportunities exist to build on Dover’s regional proximity for warehousing and distribution and its access to Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) for expansion of civilian air transportation and aviation related manufacturing, service and repair functions. Goal: Employment Centers Create a more vibrant, growing economy with a broader range of job opportunities through collaborative efforts to market the region, identify potential targets, and respond to opportunities to foster an increase in office and industrial development in appropriate and designated areas. Policies: Employment Centers 1. Protect existing industrial, office park and manufacturing establishments from encroachment by incompatible land uses which could result in nuisance complaints, hazardous situations, and human conflict. 2. Provide sufficient land area for industrial purposes to enable the expansion of existing industries, the establishments of new facilities, and revitalization of underutilized older industrial sites. 3. Provide for a variety of office park and industrial development opportunities through the designation of areas for small, medium and large establishments within planned industrial parks. 4. Promote alternative modes of accessibility including pedestrian and bicycle facilities, bus shelters and transit stops, and provide incentives for car and van pooling of employees. 5. Create flexible and contemporary industrial zoning provisions that reflect emerging trends in uses, facilities, and business opportunities to meet future needs. Recommendations: Employment Centers The City is committed to fostering a strong, vibrant, and balanced local economy built on existing and new business locations. This initiative requires close coordination with state and county economic development entities. It also requires continuous attention to the needs of existing businesses, efforts to promote a skilled workforce, a comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy, and land use and development regulations that are efficient and contemporary. The Comprehensive Plan designates areas throughout the City where job growth and opportunities are encouraged. Plan Chapter 10 – Economic Development lays out a set of goals and actions designed to reinforce this commitment. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 12 - 17 Page 72

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 12 Land Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Office Parks The Land Development Plan designates specific tracts of land of various sizes for Office and Office Park land uses. Office Park development involves an integrated development of office buildings with shared entrances, driveways and parking. The majority of uses permitted within an Office Park are generally weekday professional office uses involving very little or no activity at night or on weekends. For this reason, the Office Park designation may be viewed as a transitional use category when situated between more intense commercial and industrial land uses and residential land uses. This designation usually involves the C-PO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) zoning district. These areas are located throughout the City with established office concentrations in the Enterprise Business Park, along Silver Lake Boulevard, on College Park Drive, along Old Rudnick Lane, the Northgate Center, and elsewhere. Scattered office uses are also located along Saulsbury/McKee Road and within designated “Mixed Use” areas in the Eden Hill Farm Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND). Smaller scale areas for office parks are the Woodbrook complex on South Governors Avenue, office complexes along Walker Road, and areas along Route 8. Large Scale Industry The Land Development Plan designates all existing major industrial facilities and associated vacant lands for Industrial use. These properties include the manufacturing facilities of Kraft Heinz Foods, Proctor & Gamble, Edgewell Personal Products, PPG Industries, General Metalcraft and others. Industrial Parks Several planned industrial parks have been initiated since 1986 which offer industrial development potential. The Land Development Plan designates these sites for continued Industrial use. These sites include Kent County Aero Park/Air Cargo Terminal, Enterprise Business Park, College Business Park, and McKee Business Park. The City purchased and has developed the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (formerly the Garrison Oak Technical Park) in 1999-2000. It now houses a solar electric facility, an electric generating facility, a flooring products manufacturer, and a security firm with ten shovel ready lots remaining available. Planning is underway to extend the Joint Use Agreement with Dover Air Force Base to allow expansion of the Kent County Aero Park into a regional facility. The Central Delaware Aviation Complex will facilitate aviation uses including air cargo, aircraft maintenance and repair, and related uses as part of a newly designated “Employment Center.” DOVER AIR FORCE BASE Although Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) is within the City limits, as a land holding of the Federal government it is not subject to municipal regulation. In recognition of the strategic importance of DAFB with respect to the national interest, as well as the contributions of DAFB to the local economy and overall image of Dover, it is essential that the Comprehensive Plan support and protect the vital interests of Dover Air Force Base as an integral part of Dover.

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 12 Land Development Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan Policies: Public Utilities 1. Cooperate with other public and private providers to ensure system efficiency and capacity. 2. Actively assess emerging trends, technologies and regulatory schemes as these might impact the operation of the City’s utilities. Recommendations: Public Utilities The Land Development Plan reflects the existing locations of Public Utilities and private utility facilities. These encompass water, sewer, and electric system components such as water towers, pump stations, and electric substations. Examples of private utility facilities include the Dover Solar Park and the Garrison Energy Center. No enlargement of the land use area associated with Public Utilities is proposed at this time. AGRICULTURAL LAND USES Just as was true in 2008, there are currently properties within the City limits that remain in active agricultural use. Some of these properties are zoned for residential or other uses and are being farmed for the time being until being converted to another land use. Other properties have the A (Agriculture Zone) which is a zone that specifically permits agricultural uses. Several properties in the Agriculture Zone are also enrolled in Agricultural Preservation Programs with the State of Delaware Department of Agriculture, indicating that the owners intend to continue farming at least for the five to ten-year duration of the program and potentially for a longer time. The bulk of the land zoned Agriculture is located east of State Route 1, south of Dover Air Force Base, and along Route 8 in the western portion of the City adjacent to the Cranberry Run development. Assumptions: Agricultural Land Uses 1. Many agricultural land uses, particularly those lands which the owners have chosen to place in Agricultural Preservation Programs, are likely to continue as a long-term component in the City’s land use mix. Agricultural lands in the State’s program define and limit the City’s growth, at least for as long as they are actively in the Preservation status. 2. Agricultural land uses are appropriate where they form logical transitions to larger tracts of farmland in the County, where they complement sensitive natural features, and where they can be economically viable while retaining open space in the City. 3. Higher density urban land uses, such as those anticipated in the City, are not always compatible with active agricultural operations. Consideration will have to be given to proper buffering and other measures to mitigate conflicts between agricultural and other land uses. 4. With growing support for farm fresh and “farm-to-table” programs, the nature of agriculture will continue to evolve. Specialty crops and new growing techniques will make agricultural activities in the urban area increasingly challenging from both land use and regulatory aspects. 2019 Comprehensive Plan Adopted 1.13.2020 Page 12 - 21 Page 74

Item #6. Adopted – 1.13.2020 Chapter 13 Growth and Annexation Plan Dover 2019 Comprehensive Plan agricultural use and in most instances part of an agricultural land preservation program. However, should their agricultural preservation status change their potential development adjacent to the City’s boundaries might raise issues of the efficient provision of services and infrastructure, transportation concerns, and protection of natural resources. If developed, the City would like to be notified by the Town of Wyoming or Kent County so that the City can work with the relevant jurisdiction to ensure that land planning includes interconnections with areas that may ultimately develop in the City of Dover. CLASSIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ANNEXATION LANDS Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas shows the City’s position on the land use classifications appropriate for lands within the Category 1 and Category 2 Annexation Areas. The zoning classifications considered for each land use category (classification) are identified in Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix. Map 13-2 identifies following areas for Residential Medium Density land use category if annexed into the City: the Papen Farm east of Wyoming Mill Road, the Kesselring Farm south of Webbs Lane, the enclave area along Nixon Lane and Acorn Lane, and the area north of Denney’s Road. The plan identifies areas to the west of the City including Fox Hall Drive, Mifflin Road, and the Artis Drive areas and the Rodney Village area as the Residential Low Density land use category. This designation is also recommended in the area east of State Route 1 along Fox Road (currently developed residential lots). The map identifies the large enclave area north of the Dover Mall (which is currently a manufactured home park and other commercial and residential areas) as Mixed Use. If this area were to annex and redevelop, it is an ideal opportunity for a master-planned mixed-use community. The large enclave area east of McKee Road and north of College Road has been identified as Mixed Use if annexed. This area is adjacent to other industrially zoned areas and is bisected by the railroad tracks but could support mixed residential and commercial uses as well. The area east of the railroad corridor is identified as Open Space and has recently become part of the Fork Branch Nature Preserve. There is a small enclave area along McKee Road north of College Road that has been identified as Office and Office Parks. Most of the remainder enclave areas that front on major road corridors have been designated as a Commercial land use category if annexed. Areas adjacent to Dover International Speedway lands east of State Route 1 are identified reflecting their existing uses; this includes the categories of Residential Low Density, Industrial, and Agricultural. The Category 3 and the Areas of Concern on the Potential Annexation Map (Map 13-1) do not have potential Land Use Categories identified on the associated Map 13-2. As such, if Annexation of lands in these areas is sought then a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be required in order to designate Land Use prior to annexation.

Item #6. Srnrn on DBu,w.tnn Exncurtvp DnPnRtvtBNt Orrtcn or Srnrn PLINNINc CooRpIN.lrtoN February 22,2023 Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP City of Dover Planning & Inspections City Hall P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 RE: PLUS review -2023-01-09; City of Dover Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2023 Dear Ms. Melson-Williams, Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on January 25,2023 to discuss the proposed City of Dover comprehensive plan amendment. According to the application, the city intends to amend Map 13-1: Potential Annexation Areas to add two parcels (4- 00-058.00-02-49.00-00001 and 4-00-058.00-02-48.00-00001) as Category 2: Priority Annexation Areas. The request is to also amend Map l3-2 to designate the future land use as Public & Private Utilities. Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting. This offrce has received the following comments from State agencies: Thomas 3 The proposed amendment encompasses two properties located in Investment Level 4 according to the 2020 Strategies for State Policies and Spending. They are currently located in unincorporated Kent County outside of the Growth Overlay Zone. In general, OSPC does not support development in Level4 areas. Investment Level4 indicates where State investments will support agricultural preservation, natural resource protection, and the continuation of the rural nature of these areas. New development activities and suburban development are not supported in Investment Level 4. These areas are comprised of prime agricultural lands and environmentally sensitive wetlands and wildlife habitats, which should be, and in many cases have been preserved. Page 97

Item #6. PLUS - 2023-01-09 Page 2 of 6 As per the State Strategies, 'olnvestment Level 4 Areas may be the location for certain uses that because of their specific requirements are not appropriate for location elsewhere." (Page 33,2020 State Strategies). In unique circumstances, on a case-by-case basis, osPC does not object to low-impact land rrs"rln Level 4 areas,if th.y u.. consistent with local govemment comprehensive plans, master plans, or othlr planning studies, and represent minimal impacts to environmental resouries, su.rounding land uses, and long-term infrastructure investments. Solar farms are an example beciuse they are low-impact uses with unique siting challenges. In this particular situation, OSPC granted a PLUS waiver on February 24,2022, for a proposed solar farm on these two properties for the reasons previousiy stated. That project did not ultimately move forward with Kent County. therefore, OSPC does not object to the proposed use of the properties as a solar farm. OSpC does express !r*. concems if the proposed amendment leads to a rezoning of the property that could allow for a more intense use of the Level 4 lands, than as presented in tfre request by the property owner for this amendment. If the comprehensive plan amendment is approved and the parcels are to be annexed into the City of Dover, a Plan of Services needs to be submittedto OSPC for review and approval before the annexation is adopted. Upon successful annexation, any future development application including a site plan may require a PLUS review, per the criteria specified in the Memorandum of understanding between Dover and oSpc.

The FEMA National Risk Index is calculated by multiplying the Expected Annual Loss times the Social Vulnerability and dividing that by the Community Resilience. Expected Annual Loss x Social Vulnerability + Community Resilience = Risk hdex o According to FEMA's National Risk Index, the parcel is considered very low for overall natural hazards risks. a community Resilience is a consequence reduction risk component and a community risk factor that represents the ability of a community to prepare for anticipated natural hazards, adapt to changing conditions and withstand/r..orr., rapidly from disruptions. Social Vulnerability is a consequence-enhancing risk factor that represents the susceptibility of social groups to the adverse impacts of natural hazards. o Its community resilience and social vulnerability are both rated as relativety high Renewable Energy Commitment o Regarding energy use and consumption, the parcel utilizes utility/natural gas as the predominant fuel type for heating purposes. DEMA strongly encourages the use of renewable energies and high-efficiency appliances and utilities. Regarding utilities, DEMA suggests incorporatingod6 series furnaces/HVAC systems; the closer to 99o/o,the better, as well as A/C units of 20 Seer or greater. DEMA recommends using tankless water heaters, and battery backup systems for sump pumps to reduce potential water damage from power failure. a Lastly, DEMA encourages the integration of modern and emerging technologies, such as the potential for electric vehicles in garages/parking lots, gieen roofs where applicable and allowable, and the like.

Multiple previously recorded archaeological and above ground sites are located within and surrounding the project area. The J Allston House (parcel # 4-00-05800-02-4800-00001) was a National Register listed property but was demolished or destroyed. Even though the house is gone there could be archaeological resources tied to the structure that still remain especially if there were additional support structures located around the main structure. a Historic roads adjacent to the project area also carry alincreased potential for historic archaeological resources remaining within the parcels. a There is also high potential for precontact resources based on the presence of well drained soils, stable landforms, and close proximity to fresh water. These are all environmental factors that would have been attractive to precontact peoples as further evidenced by the number of precontact archaeological resources in adjacent areas. o The DE SHPO recommends an archaeological survey prior to any ground disturbing activity.

The City of Dover’s Comprehensive Plan allows an opportunity at least once a year to allow applicants to seek an opportunity to amend the Comprehensive Plan. That timeframe requires a filing in December and then it begins a review process in the new year. The first step in that process is that City submits all requests to the Preliminary Land Use Services; the PLUS review process. This request was submitted to them and reviewed at their January 25th meeting and as of today, they received the PLUS Review Letter that is dated February 22nd which is actually tomorrow. She thinks they knew that this meeting was being held tonight for this application. The PLUS review comments include comments from the Office of State Planning Coordination and a number of the State agencies. Some of the comments are advisory in nature; and basically, the one thing of note is that while the Office of State Planning Coordination recognizes that these two properties, we’re discussing are in a Level 4 Investment Area which is typically not supported for development. There are instances with low impact and specific requirements with low impact land uses that they could be deemed consistent with a Comprehensive Plan and that is the statement that they have made in this regard. One of the examples of a low impact land use according to their comments is a solar farm. They do note that previously this subject area received a PLUS waiver when an application was under consideration in Kent County. Those PLUS review comments were provided on the Planning Commission member’s desks this evening. Moving back to the application itself, it does involve two properties and amendments to two maps. With our Comprehensive Plan, there is a chapter that deals with annexation. The Annexation includes first a Map 13-1 and that’s what is shown on the screen. This is the map Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 2 of 13 Page 109

Item #6. that shows potential annexation areas for the City of Dover. Those of you viewing the map can see that the dark green areas are what they consider enclaves; areas that are surrounded by the City. These are considered Category 1 and are the highest priority for annexation. The next is Category 2 which is shown in a light yellow. These are Priority Annexation Areas where it makes sense to expand the boundaries of the City for one reason or another. Category 3 is the next tier of potential for annexation. In most of these cases, they are considered longer term annexations areas. They may require some other properties to come in first as they may not be contiguous to the current City boundaries. Then there are Areas of Concern in several portions adjacent to the City. These may be areas that are near other jurisdictions or for other reasons were identified as Areas of Concern. They are not formally in our Annexation Area Plan, but the City has interest in what could potentially be happening in those areas and identified it. We are talking today about two properties that area found on the north side of White Oak Road. You can see by the circle where they are in the greater scheme of the City. Currently on the Comprehensive Plan, one of the properties, it is an unaddressed property that is highlighted in blue on the screen, it has no designation whatsoever. They are seeking to take it to a Category 2- Priority Annexation Area; changing it to that light yellow color. The second property is addressed as 3015 White Oak Road and is directly adjacent to White Oak Road. Currently, it is identified as an Area of Concern and this request would take it to a Category 2 Priority Annexation Area. You can see in these two images; one is the current designation on the map and the proposed designation is what they are seeking. The next request also involves a map associated with annexations. When we have the annexation areas, there is a subsequent Map 13-2 that shows the potential land uses for the annexation areas. All areas that are identified by Category 1 or Category 2 in the City’s Annexation Plan Area are identified with a land use classification on this map in particular. The next image shows the location that we are dealing with, the two same subject parcels of land. In this case because they were not part of the City’s Annexation Area, they have no designation currently, but the applicant is seeking to change that land use classification to Public & Private Utilities. The next slide shows the current designation. The blue outlines just show the property boundaries. While they are contiguous to the City, there was not an identified land use classification. Their request is to set a proposed designation of Public Utilities and Private Utilities on the map exhibit. The two properties are close to 250 acres. It is adjacent to the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. That is it’s kind of neighbor that it shares the City boundary with. In this case, the Comprehensive Plan, in our Chapter 13 talks about growth and annexation. They have identified the sections of the Comprehensive Plan that deal with the land use category of Public Utilities and the policies and goals related to that. They have also included in the packet, the overall Comprehensive Plan and Chapter Goals. The applicant, as part of their submission, was required to provide why they think this request meets the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. They have cited and marked a number of sections within the overall Comprehensive Plan for the City that present information about the ability of green energy, environmental issues and the proximity to the Technology Park from an economic development standpoint. The Planning Staff did provide a recommendation in regards to these Comprehensive Plan Amendments that make the changes to Maps 13-1 and 13-2. Planning Staff is in support of the application finding that the requests do support the overall set of goals that are established in our Comprehensive Plan. The land use classification that is identified as Public & Private Utilities does appear to be consistent with other nearby electric generation facilities and technology based development. The Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center does include already, a solar facility and a gas powered electric generation Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 3 of 13 Page 110

Item #6. facility as part of it. That land use classification of Public & Private Utilities does limit the types of zoning that could ultimately be considered for the property should it move forward and go through the process of Annexation into the City of Dover. Tonight, we are just dealing with amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. The next step for this, should it be successful, will be consideration of Annexation of the two parcels into the City of Dover and the setting of a City of Dover Zoning Classification. The Planning Commission tonight will be making a recommendation. That recommendation is forwarded to City Council, and they conduct their own public hearing and is the final acting body for amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. She knows that the applicant probably has a lot to say about their application and they are here tonight. Mr. Dunkle stated that they fully agree with the Development Advisory Committee comments and of course the Staff recommendation. They also had a very positive response from the Office of State Planning Coordination, in particular “therefore the Office of State Planning Coordination does not object to the proposed future use of the property as a solar farm.” This is the first step in many hoops, but the ultimate goal is to bring another solar farm energy production facility to the City of Dover. Calpine is not only the applicant but the property owner of these farms for about the last ten years. They bought this property when they constructed the current natural gas powered electric plant that is in the Garrison Oak Park; so, they have been in Dover for quite some time. Also in the park is the LS Power Solar Field. This request, after we progress, is intended to join the Garrison Oak Park with another electric facility. Their obligation is to demonstrate to the Planning Commission that this is consistent with the City of Dover’s Comprehensive Plan, and it is for several reasons. They are stated in the Staff Report, but your Plan focuses very much on green energy, technology, sustainable infrastructure, lessening carbon footprint, and moving more toward electric. It is throughout the Plan and as Mrs. Melson- Williams mentioned, they highlighted in yellow what they think are the relative provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. From the Dover Comprehensive Plan, solar energy production supports the plan goal of “green development and sustainable energy practices.” The more solar energy you produce, even though it goes to the grid helps reduce the amount of carbon intensive energy production in some places. Solar energy production supports the Comprehensive Plan which includes green energy goals. Solar energy production adjacent to the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center and is identified in the plan. That Center is to be supported and encouraged to thrive. That is part of your Comprehensive Plan and is intended to be a location for green industries. The second part, is it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? It can be designated for annexation. One of the cardinal rules of annexation is, is it adjacent to the City? Which it is and also, is it consistent with what it is adjacent to. It is adjacent to the Garrison Oak Park and the electric production facility that he mentioned; so, they certainly believe that it is consistent. This is also mentioned in the Staff Report and also in the comments from the PLUS review. One thing about the property as Mrs. Melson-Williams mentioned, it is about 250 acres among the two parcels. About 100 acres is clear and the other 150 acres is wooded wetlands. It is going to stay wooded wetlands and won’t be touched at all. The solar panels go in the cleared land. He doesn’t call it farmland because it is barely farmable. The property is riddled with ditches. There are about 90-year-old mosquito control ditches on the property, and it is very difficult to mechanically farm. He anticipates that there are going to be some speakers in opposition from farmers in Kent County who spoke when this application went through the original (Regional) Planning Commission where it was recommended positively and was then tabled at Levy Court. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 4 of 13 Page 111

Item #6. In the testimony at Levy Court, a very well-respected local farmer named Mr. Paul Cartanza, Sr. of 6289 Bayside Drive Dover, DE testified that this property was not worth farming; he had tried to farm it in the past. It had 90 ditches, and it really can’t be farmed in a modern sense. So, it is not good farmland. It is an excellent site for green energy infrastructure. One of the main reasons the applicant would like to bring this property into the City is its consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goals. There is a general (feeling) that solar farms shouldn’t be out in Kent County amongst the areas of farming and that it should go where it is zoned for utilities. That is what they are asking for tonight, they are asking that this adjacent property be annexed into the City and be zoned for private utility and ultimately as it is consistent with the City’s IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center) which promotes and supports electricity produced by solar. They think this property is the exception to the general discontent from the farmers in the County. They would like to join the City in the zoning specifically permitting solar energy production which the City views as a positive in the Comprehensive Plan and in the Zoning Code. Mr. Hartman stated that the letter that is dated February 21, 2023 from Mr. Paul Cartanza that references that a portion of the parcel is zoned as Agricultural outside of the Growth Zone and that there is litigation at the Kent County Levy Court regarding this. Is this counter to what you just quoted him saying at Levy Court? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mr. Dunkle stated no; he quoted Mr. Paul Cartanza Sr. But more to the point and to clarify, this application that was tabled at Levy Court is not the subject of any litigation. Our property owner is not involved in any litigation. It was a Conditional Use Application under the County’s old Zoning Code and was timely filed. It went through their (Regional) Planning Commission as a Conditional Use and was recommended to the Levy Court. In that timeframe, another solar farm out in the County, not adjacent to the City, after it was approved as a Conditional Use, opponents filed a lawsuit challenging the suitability of a solar farm under the County’s Conditional Use Ordinance and whether it actually did permit it even though the County had already approved it. So that litigation is still going on regarding if a solar farm is an allowed conditional use in the Agricultural Conservation District in the County. Because that lawsuit was pending, Levy Court tabled their application and didn’t vote on it. We are not in that litigation, but we are frozen because of their interpretation of the law. They are a business and have owned this property for over ten years and want to provide solar panels and create electricity. So, since they are adjacent to the City, they are happy to leave the County’s jurisdiction to where they know that the City has a classification specifically supporting solar energy production. There is no question about the City’s Ordinance and also their property. The technical park already has a solar farm and is a center for solar production; again, making them different than solar farms that are trying to build out in the County. To avoid that and to go forward, they think that it is only logical and the best place to be is in the City of Dover which supports solar. He did want to tender for the record, what he was quoting from the testimony about was very poor farmland; and he wants to provide a copy to Mrs. Melson-Williams. Kent County takes testimony under oath. Mr. Hartman stated that because litigation is mentioned in this February 21, 2023 letter, is this something that should be run by the City Solicitor before they vote on it? Responding to Mr. Hartman, Mrs. Mary Ellen Gray stated that she sees no connection between the two issues. Mr. Cooper stated that we listed the property in question as an Area of Concern in other colors Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 5 of 13 Page 112

Item #6. on a previous map. Can you explain why it was an Area of Concern as it relates to annexation? Responding to Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 13 deals with growth and annexation and for the most part, the Area of Concern has been utilized in two ways. In the southwestern portion of the City, some of those land areas were also of interest for an adjacent jurisdiction for potential annexation. So that was negotiated, we will both agree to say that they are both concerned about it, and should the time come in the future that the property owner wishes to move forward with an Annexation request, that the two jurisdictions would work together. Also in that area, there is a lot of farmland that is currently participating in the Agriculture Land Preservation Program which is another reason why they put it into Areas of Concern in that situation; recognizing that currently right now it is in active farmland production and that’s the intent of the owner. But it puts the map on notice that should that idea for how that land is being used changes, the City of Dover wants to be a player at the table regarding potential annexation. The areas to the east of State Route 1 is where you see the other Areas of Concern; there are similar philosophies there. In some cases, there may be Agricultural Land Preservation Districts. The other is that for the longest time the State was very concerned about development moving east of State Route 1 for various reasons, from environmental, ag land preservation, and a number of things in that fashion. There were some areas that they did identify as Priority Annexation Areas which were really in enclaves given what the City boundaries were at the time that they were doing the Comprehensive Plan in 2019 and its adoption in January of 2020. The other areas were left as the Areas of Concern noting that it is directly adjacent to the City, and they were concerned about what’s its future could potentially hold. So, that is why it was identified in that fashion. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that for the record, she wants to highlight what Mr. Dunkle did submit for the record. It is a copy of what appears to be Meeting Minutes from the consideration by the Kent Levy Court of a petition for Conditional Use Approval. The Kent County application name was CS-22-02 Calpine’s Kent County Solar Energy Center. It is their information regarding the public testimony and public hearing that occurred on that before the Levy Court, and it appears it was their meeting of May 24, 2022. Mrs. Maucher stated that Calpine had ten years to request annexation and it has delayed until now. Is there a reason for that? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dunkle stated that they were waiting for market timing to build their solar facility. They are a big corporation, and it really wasn’t suitable in their business plan until about two to three years ago. They have gone through their corporate planning process to then move forward with the solar facility. It only became business worthy for them in the last three years but that is why they bought the property in the first place. Mrs. Maucher stated that wasn’t the property for the other 300 megawatt gas generator? Responding to Mrs. Maucher, Mr. Dunkle stated that the City owns the Garrison Oak Park and Calpine built the electric facility in the Park. They also needed land to connect to the grid and so part of the purchase of the farm was to be able to run the power lines to connect to the grid and to also essentially bank it for the future for a solar facility. They don’t own the plant (now), but they built the plant and operated it for a number of years. Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.

Item #6. Mr. Paul Cartanza, Jr. – Shadybrook Farms 1477 Cartanza Road Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Cartanza stated that he is the one who submitted the letter to the City of Dover today on behalf of Shadybrook Farms. The litigation that was spoken of is what caused Kent County Levy Court to kind of table all of these issues because they were waiting for the one in Smyrna, DE to get figured out before they moved forward with any other applications. He feels that based on what he knows this is a simple way for Calpine to go around that situation by the annexation of this farm. Some of the things that were said before him are definitely not true. To them, that farm is a very viable farm. Shadybrook Farms tilled it for almost 20 years before the current tenant, Mr. Lee Brown who tills it now. It is 80% of his overall farm. For him to lose that piece of farm in particular would be devastating to that gentleman. He personally represents Shadybrook Farms, and he also represents his father, Mr. Paul Cartanza, Sr. who was going to try calling into this meeting. He is the owner of Lazy Day Farms which is his neighbor. He also represents his uncle, Mr. Mark Cartanza who is the owner of MASC Farming. They all stand together not wanting to see the Harmon Farm get changed or brought into the City of Dover. It needs to remain a farm; it has always been a farm and it has been a good farm. The mosquito ditches that were previously mentioned are to help that farm drain. That is why they are there and that is their purpose. It has two main ditches across it, and they have tilled the farm for over 20 years. They wrote a letter to Calpine because they were downsizing. Farm help is hard to find these days and it is truly hard to get. His daughter is part owner of the farm, and they are just trying to protect the land because it can’t protect itself. They are not against solar. They have five acres worth of roofs that they can put solar panels on the farm if they wanted to. He is not against it in any way. There are parking lots at Delaware State University where they can place solar panels over top of. He sees it done at Salisbury University. They’ve got the solar panels raised above the parking areas and he doesn’t see any issue with that. He doesn’t see what those things couldn’t be considered for these kinds of applications. But that is not why we are here; we are here to talk about the land. The land is very viable. Calpine bought it and they rented it from them for at least 5 years before Mr. Brown got it. They had a great relationship with Calpine. The farm averages anywhere from 60 bushels of beans which is great. For the corn crops that he knows Mr. Brown is pulling off of it currently is anywhere from 200 to 220 bushels of corn crops. That is unirrigated ground so that is pretty darn good for that situation. It is Mr. Brown’s livelihood, and he stands here before the Commission mainly because of him. He is a good friend of his and he would do anything in this world to help protect his livelihood. Kent County, like he said, it seems to him that this was a way to wash their hands of this situation by moving it on to the City. Route 9 is supposed to be a federally protected Scenic Byway. He doesn’t know what that means to anybody else in this room, but to him that means it should be open spaces and farmland. It should be taken seriously. You put these solar panels up and you have taken away from the geese, deer and other wildlife. You ride down that road and it is supposed to be a Scenic Byway. That’s why a lot of people ride on that road, to see things and to be a part of nature for a little while. You can go back to the City if you don’t want that. He has been on this farm for most of his life and they still help Mr. Brown from time to time if he needs it. He doesn’t know what record they spoke of that Mr. Paul Cartanza, Sr. said it wasn’t a viable farm. He has farmed it all of his life and he knows for certain that that man didn’t say that. Mr. Charles Mayhall – Edgewater Farm – 210 Edgewater Farm Lane Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Mayhall stated that whether the lawyer has not been to the property, or he was just Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 7 of 13 Page 114

Item #6. intentionally misleading everyone here tonight, but if you get on Google Earth and zoom in to notice that there are three ditches on that property that run from east to west. It’s not a flooded wetlands like they are trying to make you believe that it is. That is just part of what they do, just like they are here today to try to turn things around because they couldn’t get it done in front of another board or commission. That area is supposed to be the non-growth zone. Those of us that live out there, they don’t want the city life. If they wanted that they would move into town. Now town is encroaching out on them. He just asks the Commission tonight to take into consideration that they don’t want the city limits pushed out any further. It starts with this farm and then it moves to the next farm and before you know it, they are all trapped into your city limits. If they want to set it up to be a non-growth zone with one house per 5 acres and then if you go east of Route 9 which is a historical highway as of 2007, its one house per 10 acres. He doesn’t understand how you fast forward 15 years to this meeting and we are ready to build up on it. He heard someone speak earlier and he said that in that area, it’s what’s going on in that area so it’s okay to grow. Well in our area, it’s farm fields; it’s not industrial parks or solar panels. They hope that the Commission will stick with them and try to keep that land what it is now, a non- growth zone. Mr. Brian Carbaugh – Braeland Farm – 7793 Bayside Drive Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Carbaugh stated that he thought the picture on the screen with properties shown in purple was pretty (informational) because if you look at that white stripe that runs through the middle of that purple, that’s his property. He has lived there for over 20 years, and he can tell you that the land in question has been in farming for that entire time and there has been no problem farming it. It has been farmed by the Cartanzas and the Browns. What most everybody in the neighborhood understands is that Calpine would never own this land if the Harmons had been willing to give them an easement to bring their powerlines across this property. But the fact of the matter is that the Harmons tried to develop it and they were unsuccessful. They weren’t farmers and they wanted to unload the property. When Calpine needed to get their power lines through this property, they weren’t willing to give them an easement; they said buy the whole thing. That’s how Calpine came to own this property. They weren’t in the solar business 10 years ago they just needed to get the power lines out of the gas plant. It is true that this has been before Levy Court as a solar field. He isn’t sure how you call this a solar farm because you don’t grow solar panels. He didn’t speak against that. He figured that the County had their rules, and they would decide what was appropriate for this land. He questioned what appeared to be a run around the County while they figure out what is appropriate in the County. He lives in the County and everyone around this property is in the County. You can see adjacent to the City is minor on this property compared to where it is in the County. The relationship between the power companies and the City of Dover is pretty well established. The existing gas plant rents their land from the City of Dover. They buy all of their water from the City of Dover, and they discharge that water back to the City of Dover through their sewer. They are a major client of the City so to now see the City promoting expanding that by annexation, there is that error of questionable relationships. He thinks that the County has the ability to approve or not approve and the set conditions on any solar field that might or might now occur on this land. He thinks the County is the one that he trusts to look out for his benefit and his land that is in the County. He will say that in the Comprehensive Plan, in the section where it talks about utilities, it says that there isn’t any planned expansion of utilities. So, to talk about not only expanding utilities by 250 acres but by annexing County land to make that expansion, if the City wants support Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 8 of 13 Page 115

Item #6. power generation or green power that is great but let’s do it in the City. Let’s not come out and annex land around him and annex land out of the County in order to promote that. There are a couple of guys who own a car wash that think the corner of White Oak Road and Route 13 would be a perfect place for a solar field. He doesn’t know if this piece of ground will ever become a solar field or not but if it does, he thinks that the County are the appropriate people to do that. He thinks that the City should avoid this annexation and they should let the County do what the County was going to do with regards to any application and avoid any appearance of impropriety in the relationships that the City has with the power companies. Mr. Ron Virdin – 1087 Haypoint Landing Road Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Virdin stated that he owns property at 225 White Oak Road. He has been around this area all of his life and was born maybe 3 miles from where we are talking about. All of the grain that Mr. Brown harvested last season, he hauled every bit of it to the mill for him. He knows for a fact that he grew 70 bushels of beans to the acre and 200 bushels of corn to the acre. A couple of years ago he grew 100 bushels of wheat to the acre so he can’t see how that is not a good farm. He would hate to see it end up as a solar field. He doesn’t like to ride down the road and see a bunch of solar panels out in a field like they were talking about up in Smyrna. People grow a lot of chickens in the State of Delaware, and it takes a lot of feed to feed those chickens. Down at the mill where he hauled all of the grain, they told him that it takes 125,000 bushels of corn a week to grind for chicken feed and that’s just Mountaire. That is not counting Perdue and all of the other people that raise chickens. He would hate to see this property turned into a solar farm; he would be totally against it. Ms. Mary Ellen Opdyke – 265 Bayside Drive Dover, DE 19901 Ms. Opdyke stated that she is older than most of the people here put together. She wouldn’t make a great farmer; she would talk too much. She would like Commission to meet her two great grandchildren. She doesn’t want to see them hungry; she doesn’t want to see any of your great grandchildren or future children hungry. You will be and they will be if you allow all of these solar systems in. They are great for cars; they are great for electricity. They are great for many things like maybe running a hospital, but they are too big. The day is coming that they are going to make them smaller. Remember the great big computers that they had? How big are they now? You have a little bitty one on your phone. They ought to be taking their time and making them smaller, so they don’t have to take up the farmland that feeds us. Where are you going to go in an electric car to find food? What are you going to put on the table for your children to eat? There will be a light over the table and no food. How hungry will they be? She heard a story a long time ago and it touched her. During the war, the soldiers were rationed out food and they were given fresh fruit. They were given a little old lousy banana. There were four little children standing over in a corner and they would pass of the food to all of their soldiers. One officer saw them, and he saved his banana and gave it to the children. The girl walked over and thanked the officer. She was dirty and grungy; there were no solar panels to keep her clean and no food on the table, just a banana. She opened that banana up and divided it three ways for the other three children. What did she do? She ate the skin. She is not here to make money; she is here to feed her great grandchildren off of that farmland. When they get them little bitty panels and they will, then where will you feed the kids from then? Mr. John Orona – 459 Quaker Lane Dover, DE 19901 Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 9 of 13 Page 116

Item #6. Mr. Orona stated that unfortunately he has to follow someone who had a really good story. He has lived in the City of Dover for his entire life. He has lived in Hampton Square, Fox Hall, Virginia Avenue, Towne Point and Heatherfield. He no longer lives in the City of Dover; he chose to move out of the City of Dover. He recently built a new home of fifteen acres near the Cartanza Farm. He runs his business out of his home. He has room for a garden. He had room to keep his equipment and he has room to do what he wants and to live the way that he wants. He thinks for the City to annex in that area, people have moved out there because they don’t want to be annexed. It’s like they have moved to those areas and then the City comes chasing behind them. He is not a land use attorney or a solar expert; he is just a normal person living here and trying to raise his family. He is not a large corporation from out of town that is looking to capitalize on a piece of property that he got years ago because he had enough money to buy it. He just thinks that the area in question is kind of like the last frontier of eastern Kent County. He is concerned that the value of their properties will decrease. They have nice homes on large tracts of land and people want to look out and see a corn field. They want to watch the corn tassels blow in the wind. They want to watch a storm come across the field. They want to watch geese and ducks. They don’t want to look out and see monstrosities of chain link fence and solar panels. That is not what people who live out their want and he doesn’t think that it should be pushed down their throats. He does think that there would be a major hit to the value of people’s homes. He worries about the tax increase. He has a fairly decent sized home out there and he pays $1,900 a year. He lives on about fifteen acres, and he has probably has 10,000 SF of buildings. His mom lives in Heatherfield in a duplex, and she pays $1,400 a year in taxes. Our homes aren’t even comparable, and she is only paying $500 less because she is in the City and that is with her paying a senior citizen rate. He doesn’t want to pay more taxes to the City. No offense to the Police or the Fire Department or anybody here, but he doesn’t want to pay for those services. He doesn’t need those services. The Garrison Industrial Park that was spoken of, he doesn’t have stats on that but to the best of his knowledge, that Park is halfway vacant. So, he doesn’t know why we are annexing additional property while that is sitting there doing nothing. To develop a property like this, he thinks one or two people are going to benefit from that. He doesn’t see it creating any long term jobs. He thinks that some company who is probably publicly traded is going to make a ton of money. They are probably getting a bunch of tax money and federal money and once that dries up, the people who live here are stuck with a once fertile piece of ground that is nothing but stone, metal and mercury. Mr. Dunkle stated that the City wants green energy and that’s fine, but the people who live out there don’t. So maybe that should be developed on the Library, the Police Station, the Fire Department, or the City Warehouse. He thinks those are the places the City should be targeting. If they want to annex and they want that type of energy, then they should be putting it where they belong; not in their back yards. He is not a highly educated person, but he thinks that you are obstructing wildlife in that area like deer, fox or things like that. They shouldn’t be caged in or trapped by chain link fences. You go look behind Target or Silver Lake Park. All of those resident geese are there in those areas because we are taking farmland. They are becoming a nuisance and walking through Route 13 and getting hit by cars because there isn’t any land for them. That is Scenic Byway. Himself, on a Saturday he likes to get in his car and go to Sambo’s and have some crabs and a few beers. He likes to ride to Boondocks, to Port Penn, to Delaware City or Kitts Hummock. People don’t want to ride by industrial wasteland because that is a Scenic Byway. Like Ms. Opdyke said, once you ruin it, it’s gone. The City has got a ton of other issues and for them to expand their footprint he thinks would be foolish. Ride down Loockerman Street; there are no businesses there that are thriving. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 10 of 13 Page 117

Item #6. He was on South Governors Avenue today and there is a building defaced with graffiti. He thinks before the City expands; they should master what they have. He just thinks that it is a commonsense approach. He thinks that if the people wanted it, you wouldn’t have to force it on them. They would be coming to the City asking them to annex. We have one big company that is pushing it down everyone else’s throat. He doesn’t see anyone else here advocating for it except for special interest for a lack of a better term. You have twenty people here who have say here for two hours listening to things like car washes. If that doesn’t show you that it is not wanted, then he doesn’t know what else would. Mr. Donald Opdyke - 6926 Bayside Drive Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Opdyke stated that he is right down the street from White Oak Road. In 100 years, that farmland is still going to be there. What corporation is going to own that ground in 100 years? In 100 years, someone will still farm it. Solar panels will rust, fade, and break. Who is going to take care of them; this corporation? No, they bought that land because they have to run the power plant and now, they are just trying to unload. If they could get it down so easily through Kent County, then they would have had it done but they can’t. They are fighting tooth and nail with Kent County to get it done; so, they are just going around the corner to try getting the City to do it. Like the gentleman before him said, look at all the property that is right by the power plant that is not being used. Before you go starting to rip apart a piece of ground that doesn’t need to be touched, fill up the ones you have out there. There is plenty of ground out by the power plant. There are already solar panels there so adding more won’t hurt. It is closer and less wire to run and the ground is already taken out of farmland; so, use it. Use that property first before you start making more power plants elsewhere. Use the property you have. There is no sense in tearing up a piece of ground that doesn’t need to be torn up. Like he said that farm will be there in 100 years. Where will the solar panels be? Are you guys going to be taking care of them? No. But that ground will be there in 100 years. Mr. Paul Cartanza, Sr. – 6289 Bayside Drive Dover, DE 19901 Mr. Cartanza stated that he just wanted to clarify the gentleman’s comment about himself saying that the land is difficult to farm. There is only one section between the woods that is difficult to farm. The rest of the farm is very farmable. They have big equipment, and they can get up and down the ditches. As his son stated earlier, the ditches were put in order to drain the farm and make it pliable for farming. He also farmed the Garrison Farm, and that farm has fifty handmade ditches and Mr. Garrison could still farm that. He remembers talking to him and asking him about the ditches. He said that they were all put in order to drain the farm so that he would be able to plant on the farm and grow crops. They farmed that land for over 25-30 years ago with big equipment and now it is kind of lying there and being totally unused with a small set of solar there. They should just finish putting the solar around the rest of the farm. It is already in the City of Dover. When Ruth Ann Minner was Governor, when she put Route 1 through, she said there would be no development east of Route 1. That has been trickling through. The most people who have gotten through on that were people that knew what was going to happen before Route 1 was even brought to people’s attention. He thinks that they have acquired enough land on their side, and they need to go back to the other side or put it on other places like buildings or parking lots at Dover Downs as most of the other people have stated. He just wanted to clarify his comment on the farm being difficult to farm. That was only the back in between the two woods. Mr. Brown farms it now and he has done a very good job of taking care of it. He wants to Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 11 of 13 Page 118

Item #6. state that he is against this 100%. Keep it more into the city limits; don’t let the city limits come to us. Mrs. Maucher stated that there was a letter from Shadybrook Farms LLC on their desks tonight regarding the application. Were there other comments received? Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there were no other written comments received but she will formerly enter into the record the letter received. It came via email this afternoon as an attachment from Shadybrook Farms LLC which is located at 1477 Cartanza Road. The letter is dated February 21, 2023 and is signed by Mr. Paul Cartanza, Jr., a representative of Shadybrook Farms LLC. There are also a number of people that signed the letter so she will note those as she reads the letter into the record. “Dear Planning Commission Members, we are writing to you today regarding Item #8 on your agenda for February 21, 2023, MI-23-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023. The owner of the parcel mentioned above has applied for utilities solar through the Kent County Levy Court. A portion of this parcel is zoned as Agricultural Conservation (AC) outside of the growth zone; therefore, the application for utility solar was tabled pending the results of a lawsuit against the County for approving other utility solar operation on a parcel zoned as Agricultural Conservation (AC). They would like to ask that you assist with avoiding further litigation and take Kent County Levy Court’s decision to table the application and land use designation into consideration and not amend the land use classification to private/public utilities at this time.” It then lists the property area as 104.06 acres with a property address of 3015 White Oak Road and it goes on to list the property owner as Calpine Holdings LLC and a tax parcel number of LC-00- 058.00-02-48.00-000. The Comprehensive Plan Map 13-2, the change that was proposed from a land use classification of none to the new proposed classification. It is signed by Mr. Paul Cartanza, Jr. representative of Shadybrook Farms LLC and it does list residents and landowners near this location in support of this letter. Several of them have been here this evening to speak. The Bonk family; Bonk Farms. Mr. Paul and Janice Cartanza, Sr.; Lazy Day Farms. The Blessing Family; Waterway Farms. The Zimmerman Family; Broad Acres Inc. The Orona Family; Shortcutz Lawn and Landscape. The Mayhall Family, Edgewater Well Service. Mr. Justin Hoffman; Air Enterprises. Mr. Mark Cartanza; MASC Farms. Mr. Ronald Virdin; 3525 White Oak Road. Ms. Mary Ellen Opdyke; 6500 Bayside Drive. Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing. Mr. Hartman stated that based on what the people who live out in that area have had to say tonight and the callers who have called in tonight to disagree with this Amendment, he believes that they should be very careful in going forward with this Annexation. The people out there don’t want it and don’t want to be annexed. Kent County is washing their hands of it or tabling it. He believes that this is their chance as Commissioners to stop it before it becomes a zoning issue and then a Site Plan and then they are backed into a corner where they have to approve it like this Tidal Car Wash that they were faced with tonight that they are opposed to but couldn’t actually vote against it. He would recommend to this Commission to stand with the residents out there and vote against this Annexation. Mrs. Denney stated that she absolutely agrees. She feels very strongly that if it weren’t for people like the ones who have given testimony tonight, we would be hungry. She lived in the City up north, but she has a brother who owned a 350 acre farm. He had cows and he tilled dirt Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 12 of 13 Page 119

Item #6. to feed the cows. She thinks that we should all be extremely appreciative because this group of people takes almost everything, they own every spring, put it in a field and trust that God will let their crops come up so that we eat. She really feels very strongly that if this body were to approve an Annexation, they would be encroaching on the people who feed us in the worst way by taking away their land and their ability to do so. Mrs. Denney moved to recommend to City Council a denial of application MI-23-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 202 for annexation. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they are not considering an Annexation at this point. What is before you is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment so this is an application to amend the Comprehensive Plan. They have made two requests; so, the intent of the motion needs to be clarified. Mrs. Denney moved to recommend to City Council a denial of application MI-23-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023 based on comments made, seconded by Mr. Hartman and he added that this is a recommendation to City Council so if they vote and this is not approved, City Council can follow their recommendations, or they may vote to approve it. He wants everyone here to understand that. The motion was carried by roll call 8-0 with Mrs. Malone absent. Mrs. Denney voting yes; based on the comments made with her motion. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on his previous comments. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; based on the previous comments. Dr. Jones voting yes; there were some very compelling testimonies, and they appreciate everyone coming in. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Mr. Cooper voting yes. Mr. Roach voting yes. Mrs. Maucher voting yes; she is deeply concerned that you go from an Area of Concern to a Priority Annexation (Area) especially with all of the compelling testimony tonight. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council along with the Meeting Minutes once they are prepared. The City Council will have its own public hearing on this application and that is scheduled before March 13, 2023. City Council does meet in the Council Chambers and their meetings start at 6:30PM and they typically presented both in-person and hybrid. If there are questions about attending that meeting, she would refer you to the City Clerk’s Office or you can always reach out to the Planning Office. Their meeting agenda will be posted about one week prior to that meeting date. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 21, 2023 Page 13 of 13 Page 120

Item #6. MI-23-01A and B – Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: Amendments to Map 13-1 and Map 13-2 Lands of Calpine Holdings, LLC – Two Properties on White Oak Road DAC Report of February 8, 2023 Page 7 of 7 V. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING STAFF: The Planning Staff provides the following recommendations regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2023: MI-23-01A and MI-23-01B regarding the revision of the Annexation Plan Category and the designation of Land Use Classification. The applicant has requested a change in the Growth and Annexation Map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan from an unidentified area and as an Area of Concern to Category 2 – Priority Annexation Area for the two properties. Following our review of the policies for Annexation in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, as well as analysis of the surrounding land uses, proximity to City infrastructure, protection of natural resources, and economic development opportunities, Staff MAP recommends approval of the Amendment A. The subject area is contiguous to lands within the city and in the vicinity of utility infrastructure along White Oak Road, Garrison Oak Drive and Long Point Road, in addition to being adjacent to the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. Additionally, the applicant has requested that the Potential Land Use Classification be identified for the two properties. The Land Use Classification of Public & Private Utilities appears to be consistent with nearby other electric generation facilities and the technology based development with the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center. The proposed Land Use Category is compatible with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan associated with energy, green technology, TEXT and the development focus of the Garrison Business and Technology Center. Staff recommends approval of Amendment B. Planning Staff finds these requests in support of the overall set of goals established as a framework for the future of Dover in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Table 1-2: 2019 Comprehensive Plan Chapter Goals. (See attached.) This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration in addition to goals of the Comprehensive Plan. VI. ADVISORY COMMENTS 1) The Planning Staff notes the need for clarification of the size of the subject properties as there are differences in mapping of the parcel boundaries. A legal description of each parcel is required for the Annexation application. 2) The applicant shall be aware that approval of any Comprehensive Plan Amendment application does not represent Annexation approval or Site Development Plan approval. A separate review process is required for annexation; the applicant has made this application for annexation with AX-23-01. Also, a separate Site Development Plan must be submitted and approved if additional development activities are proposed on the property. Page 126

Item #6. PLUS - 2023-01-09 Page 2 of 6 As per the State Strategies, 'olnvestment Level 4 Areas may be the location for certain uses that because of their specific requirements are not appropriate for location elsewhere." (Page 33,2020 State Strategies). In unique circumstances, on a case-by-case basis, osPC does not object to low-impact land rrs"rln Level 4 areas,if th.y u.. consistent with local govemment comprehensive plans, master plans, or othlr planning studies, and represent minimal impacts to environmental resouries, su.rounding land uses, and long-term infrastructure investments. Solar farms are an example beciuse they are low-impact uses with unique siting challenges. NO In this particular situation, OSPC granted a PLUS waiver on February 24,2022, for a OBJECTION proposed solar farm on these two properties for the reasons previousiy stated. That project did not ultimately move forward with Kent County. therefore, OSPC does not object to the proposed use of the properties as a solar farm. OSpC does express !r*. concems if the proposed amendment leads to a rezoning of the property that could allow for a more intense use of the Level 4 lands, than as presented in tfre request by the property owner for this amendment. If the comprehensive plan amendment is approved and the parcels are to be annexed into the City of Dover, a Plan of Services needs to be submittedto OSPC for review and approval before the annexation is adopted. Upon successful annexation, any future development application including a site plan may require a PLUS review, per the criteria specified in the Memorandum of understanding between Dover and oSpc. S 302- o DelDor has no comments on the proposed amendment. DelDoT notes that should the parcels involved be developed in the future they will still need to apply for any applicable reviews and/or permits. 302-73 s-3495 Disclaimer Clause: Staff from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) reviewed the project submitted for pLUS review. The absence of comments regarding specific resources does not indicate that there are not additional constraints or environmental issues on site, nor does it indicate DNREC support of a project. o DNREC reviewers have no comments, concerns, or objections to the proposed amendment.

(MC) is requesting to withdraw the major subdivision application for the Ekaman Subdivision (SB-23-01C) and all associated applications, without prejudice as of the date of this letter. The associated applications are the Conceptual Major Subdivision itself (SB-23-01C), waivers on the City Council Consent Agenda for 10 April 2023, and a request for road name change submitted to the City Clerk via email on 28 March 2023. Concerns raised in open meetings to date were not addressed directly or sufficiently, due substantially to technical difficulties hindering communication of timely technical responses to address and correct misunderstandings of fact, regulations, and cause and effect. Resolving these raised concerns is essential for putting the project in its actual context within the surrounding community. We have taken full account of the issues raised to date. We shall submit an enhanced application for the subdivision of this property. Our new application shall contain thorough and concise narrative descriptions that acknowledge and address all concerns received to date, to allow the application to stand properly on its own merits. We are grateful for the City’s consideration of this request. Please contact me with all questions at 302-922-5575 or via email to: kburchard@mountainconsultinginc.com Sincerely, MOUNTAIN CONSULTING, INC. Kyle Burchard, P.E.

Item #16. Customer Service Department Mission Continually provide quality public service to our diverse group of customers with professionalism, respect, & integrity. ~ City of Dover Customer Service Department January proposed many challenges for the Customer Service Department. Due to weather delays and lack of staffing we experienced high call volume and customer wait times. This led to an inability to disconnect utilities for non-payment. In reviewing the outstanding receivables comparison reports it is noted that our average days of collections have increased for utilities. FY22 = 26 days FY23 = 29 days for utility collections. Our standard due date is 21 days. Remedial steps are being taken to collect past due utility accounts. Steps such as – email notices for past due balances, disconnect for non-payment, and door hanger notices are being provided to consumers regarding their outstanding balances. Further, customers at risk have been referred to various help agencies. Additionally beginning in February, the Customer Service Department resumed collections of tax accounts through the Clean Hands disconnection measures. Through our collections efforts we were able to reduce the number of real estate accounts referred to monitions sales from 30 to 2. The sales dates for these properties are set for April 25, 2023.

Item #16. HUMAN RESOURCES February 2023 Summary: The Human Resources Department is currently working on training initiatives specific to an applicant tracking system. This will ensure greater data specific to current trends and further increase proper metrics the amount of applicants that apply for positions. The new system will assist in tracking more specified data to better aid in forecasting trends. January’s top trend is an increase in hiring overall since the decline of COVID in 2020. We have not seen a decrease in the amount of open vacancies and remain positive that we will increase our trend of viable candidates. The Human Resources Department began preparing for open enrollment for benefits beginning April 2023. Open enrollment for active employees and retirees under 65 will be from May 1-17, 2023.

Item #16. Information Technology Department March 2023 Report Larry Josefowski, Director Network Security (Internal) Splunk, our SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management) tool is fully operational, and we are using it to collect and monitor events on the network. This was a requirement from the insurance vendor to continue the policy, but we anticipate it’s use growing as we become more familiar with its features. We also conducted a phishing test, with the results listed in the Metrics section below. Network Security (External): The penetration test of the network conducted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was completed, with a generally excellent response. There are some lower- level vulnerabilities that are being remediated or will be remediated as software is upgraded. Phone System: We had our kick-off meeting. Work will begin shortly, with the expected date of deployment to be in mid-February. Tyler/Munis: We worked with Tyler to upgrade the Test environments to a new version, although some work remains. This is needed before the next phase is started. We’ve had meetings with Tyler, Finance, and Customer Care regarding that implementation, which will likely be in February. SCADA for Electric: We continue to work with our vendors and the electric department to configure the SCADA network. WE continue to monitor potential grant sources to further secure the SCADA networks. Other: We continue to meet with the State of Delaware’s Local Cybersecurity Grant Focus Group to help get funding for the state and local municipalities. The first states are beginning to see funds arrive, and Delaware hopes to complete the process shortly. We also helped with several personnel moves throughout the City. We have integrated our intern from Del-Tech into our team and have him doing several IT and cybersecurity related tasks related to asset management and web filtering. Metrics: IT currently tracks 30 metrics in performance and security, and each month selected ones are shown to point out changes or trends in the environment. The first chart is the number of incidents we had in February, which continues to increase. This reflects both system issues, as well as better tracking of the work done by the team. The second chart is our Risk Score, which is from our training vendor. It’s drop reflects the completion of training by a lot of our City of Dover team. 85% have completed training, which is a high figure…but I would like to see it even higher. The Phishing failure rate showed we had the most people who clicked on our Phishing emails since we started doing this on a regular basis. While high, we did tailor the phishing test to more accurately reflect our risk, so more obvious fake phishing emails were likely eliminated. We use a tool provided by CISA that provides another layer of protection for this service. The CISA detected vulnerabilities continue to remain the same. These were also picked up in our penetration test and point to issues with some of the services by our third-party vendors. We continue to open tickets with the vendors to get this remediated.

Item #16. CITY OF DOVER DEPARTMENT OF WATER & WASTEWATER MONTHLY REPORT Feb-23 Inflow & Infiltration Costs $200,000.00 This chart indicates the amount of money the City is spending on treating ground and / or rain water through Kent County. This cost is being offset by the Ground Water Inflow Adjustment rate passed on to the $150,000.00 customers. The July and September flow is showing as a negative cost due to the timing of the Kent County reporting vs the timing of the City billing. $100,000.00 $50,000.00 $- $(50,000.00) I & I Cost Water & Wastewater Repairs 6 Water mains and services are typically repaired at a higher rate when drastic change in temperature occurs.

Item #20. CHIEF’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Police Chief’s Advisory Committee (PCAC) is comprised of nine (9) diverse stakeholders living/working in the City of Dover. It meets regularly to provide input/feedback to the Chief on the various operations of the agency. February activity is as follows:  The Advisory Committee met on February 16, 2023. Captain Robbins offered a presentation that outlined the promotional process within the Police Department. In short, the supervisory positions are a very structured testing system and the staff positions are a merit selection at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police. The presentation was well received and the only concern that was raised had to do with promotions impacting special assignments. The idea being that Officers who have special expertise, or perhaps a very effective relationship in a special assignment, are abruptly transferred due to their success in the promotion process.  The Behavioral Health Unit attended the meeting as well and shared both their successes and challenges during their first half-year of operation. The Unit is still testing boundaries and finding persons and places where they can have an impact. On one hand, dozens of people experiencing substance abuse and mental health problems have been connected to services. On the other hand, systemic delays related to insurance, bed space, and clinical processes continue to serve as barriers to success despite the BHU working full time hours on this expanding community problem. The Unit will report back again at the 1 year mark.  The Youth Sub-Committee report was not provided as Kayla was unable to attend.  The Chief provided departmental updates. PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES  Departmental staffing update. With regard to the April Academy, two of the four candidates selected are no longer in the onboarding process. One person was lost during professional screening and the other chose to accept an offer from a larger agency. Of the 4 candidates who survived to the background phase of the accelerated supplemental hiring process, none made it to the final interview phase. We did successfully hire a lateral candidate in late January and he began his field training in February. We continue to screen applications and conduct interviews for various positions including Records Clerk, Records Manager, Evidence Technician, 911 Dispatcher, and Animal Control. Our Victim Services Coordinator has signaled her intention to retire by the summer. We are working with the City Manager and the Human Resources Director in order to provide a smooth transition so that the current clients are not adversely impacted. We also met with DSU representatives in an attempt to find a possible link to their search for paid internships and our need for Police Cadets.
