The Coliseum Condominium located at 225 White's Path in South Yarmouth has the benefit of a June 11, 1992 Development of Regional Impact Decision, as amended by an August 20, 2001 Modification, (CCC File No. 92009) (hereafter, the "DRI Decision") that allowed for a phased 151,884-sf +/- expansion to the then-existing 118,580-sf +/- building. 2. On April 14, 1993, the Commission issued a Certificate of Compliance confirming that the first phase of the expansion, totaling approximately 36,000 sf, was constructed in conformance with the Decision. Coliseum Warehouse Expansion - CCC File No. 92009 Minor Modification Type #2 Decision April 2022 Page 1 3. Since 1993, there have been no other material additions to the building. Thus, at this time, only 36,000 sf+/- of the 151,884-sf +/- expansion authorized under the 1992 DRI Decision has been constructed. 4. The Owner is the original DRI permittee's successor in interest and has submitted the current application requesting modification to the DRI Decision to authorize changes to the Project. The Owner is now leasing Units 2 and 3 to a new warehouse/distribution tenant which is seeking to construct certain site improvements in connection with its occupancy. The Owner seeks to amend the DRI Decision to reflect the proposed site improvements. 5. The proposed site improvements include adding approximately 35,000 sf of new paved parking area, intended for vans and trailers, and constructing a replacement stormwater infiltration basin. The stormwater infiltration basin will be designed such that the basin and the Property will have the capacity to withstand a 24-hour, 100-year storm. 6. The proposed site work is proposed to be constructed and undertaken pursuant to the following plan set submitted by the Applicant: Civil Site Plan Set entitled "Site Development Plans 225 White's Path, Yarmouth, MA" consisting of 11 sheets, prepared by CHA Consulting dated 02/18/22, and last revised on 03/08/22 7. The proposal includes minor changes to the building facade and alterations to enable additional access to the building, including two ramps. The proposed alterations to the building do not include any changes to the footprint of the building or to the overall square footage of the building. 8. The proposed modifications to the site or building are unlikely to increase the visibility of the facility from public ways. Clearing has been minimized to the greatest extent possible and is clustered to the northerly property line abutting the Mid-Cape Athletic Club complex, thereby maintaining a natural buffer to the south. As proposed, this buffer will be supplemented with additional plantings to further screen the development from the abutting Cape Cod Rail Trail and residences to the south. 9. With the proposed modification, the warehouse/distribution use remains consistent with the trip generation authorized in the DRI Decision. The proposed trip generation analysis prepared by VHB showed that the re-occupied site is expected to generate a total of 234 daily vehicle trips with approximately 22 vehicle trips during the weekday morning peak hour and 27 vehicle trips during the weekday afternoon peak hour. The DRI Decision for a 270,385 square-foot expanded warehouse facility allowed for a total of 694 vehicle trips per day with approximately 43 vehicle trips during the weekday morning peak hour and 98 vehicle trips during the weekday afternoon peak hour. 10. The current proposal involves a substantially similar proposal to the original Project approved in the DRI Decision but involves minor changes which are consistent with and do not affect the intent or outcome of the DRI Decision. Coliseum Warehouse Expansion - CCC File No. 92009 Minor Modification Type #2 Decision April 2022 Page 2 • the principal use is the same as originally approved; • the proposed changes do not meet or exceed a mandatory threshold for new DRI review; • the Project changes are consistent with the applicable RPP and impacts to protected resources are minimized or mitigated in the design of the proposed changes, subject to the Conditions of this modification decision; • such impacts are not different in kind than those addressed in the DRI Decision; and • the proposed changes are not contrary to the findings and conditions contained in the DRI Decision, or to the Certificate of Compliance issued for the Project. 11. Pursuant to Section 11 of the Cape Cod Commission's (Commission) Enabling Regulations Governing Review of Developments of Regional Impact (Enabling Regulations), the modification request was reviewed in accordance with the Regional Policy Plan (RPP) in effect at the time of the original DRI Decision, which was the 1991 RPP. 12. The Committee on Planning and Regulation held a public meeting on the proposed DRI modification on April 7, 2022. 13. The proposed changes to the site plan do not result in different or increased impacts to the resources protected by the Regional Policy Plan and the Cape Cod Commission Act and the proposal involves a substantially similar proposal to the original project with a minor change to the site plan. CONCLUSION Based on the above Findings and determinations, the Commission's Committee on Planning and Regulation hereby approves the requested modification to the Coliseum Warehouse Expansion DRI Decision as described herein as a Minor Modification Type #2, subject to the following Conditions: CONDITIONS 1.
