pUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities is identified in the Public
Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the FY1999-2003 Capital Improvement Program. This
proposal will not increase the number of dwelling units from that which cnrrently exists.
Therefore, there should be no additional impact on these facilities.
Fire Service:
This property is currently served by the Bensley Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number
3 and Bensley-Bermuda Rescue Squad. Since this proposal will not increase the number
of dwelling units from that which currently exists, there should be no increase in the
number of emergency calls for fire and rescue services per year.
Schools: Libraries: Parks and Recreation:
This development will have no additional impact on these facilities.
Transportation:
The applicant has proffered a maximum density of 192 dwelling units (Proffered
Condition). Based on apartment trip rates, development could generate approximately
1,290 average daily trips. The applicant is also requesting to develop a child care facility
on the property. Based on child care trip rates, development of the child care facility could
generate an additional 400 average daily trips. These vehicles will be distributed to
Chippenham Parkway and Strathmore Road which had 1997 traffic counts of 45,438 and
2,400 vehicles per day, respectively.
A project is included in the Virginia Department of Transportation Six-Year Construction
program to widen Chippenham Parka, ay to a six lane facility. Included in this widening
project is the installation of a sound wall along Chippenham Parkway, adjacent to the
subject property. Construction of the widening project is scheduled to start in Fall 1998,
and should be finished in Fall 2000.
At time of site plan review for any new development or redevelopment, specific
recommendations will be provided regarding access and internal circulation.
Financial Impact on Capital Facilities:
Due to the fact that there will be no increase in the number of dwelling units f?om that
which currently exists, there will be no net increase in the impact on capital facilities.

99SN0153/WP/NOV24S
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Jefferson Davis Corridor Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for residential use of 7.01 or more units per acre.
Area Development Trends:
Adjacent property to the north is zoned for single thmily residential use and is currently
vacant. A portion of the Falling Creek Linear Park is located to the east and Agricultural
(A) property to the west is occupied by a military reserves center. Property to the south,
south of Chippenham Parkway, is zoned Corporate Office (O-2) and Residential (R-7) and
is occupied by single family residential uses or is vacant. The Plan anticipates higher
density residential development to continue in this quadrant of the intersection of
Chippenham Par~vay and Strathmore Road.
Zoning History:
On February 2, 1972, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a use permit to allow a 688
unit multi-family residential development on the request site and adjacent property to the
north (Case 72-13A). Subsequently, the 192 units which exists on the request property
were constructed. The remaining portion of the property is vacant.
In 1973, a County-wide rezoning had the affect of rendering the previously granted use
permit null and void and therefore, the existing improvements non-conforming. Should
there be significant damage to the existing improvements reconstruction would not be
permitted. Further, significant improvements to a non-conforming use is not permitted.
The applicant wishes to renovate the existing multi-fhmily project. In order to obtain loans
to accommodate the renovations, the applicant has indicated that the lender requires proper
zoning.
Site Design:
As noted herein, the request property has been developed for i92 multi-family units
(Chippenham Square Apartments). Any redevelopment of the property or new
development must conform to the development standards of the Zoning Ordinance for
Multi-family Residential (R-MF) use, except as modified by the Master Plan and Textual
Statement. Any child care use should conform to Zoning Ordinance requirements for such
uses in O-1 Districts. (Condition 2)
5 99SN0153/WP/NOV24S
Solid Waste Storage Areas:
The Zoning Ordinance requires that any new solid waste storage areas (i.e., dumpsters,
garbage cans, trash compactors, etc.) be screened from view and that such areas not be
serviced between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed multi-family uses conforms with the Jefferson Davis Corridor Plan which suggests
the property is appropriate for residential use of 7.01 or more units per acre and is representative
of existing and anticipated area residential development. The proposed child care use will provide
a service to area residents. The granting of the bulk exceptions will allow renovation of the
existing project, consistent with the goals of the Jefferson Davis Highway Plan to encourage
reinvestment in the area.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
