Public Water and Wastewater Systems:
The request property is being rezoned to provide a collector road for the Old Creek
Subdivision. Use of the public water and wastewater systems is not required.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The proposed zoning will have no impacts on drainage and erosion.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fke, school, library, park and transportation facilities is identified in the Public Facilkies
Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the FY 1999-2003 Capital Improvement Program. However, based
on the proffered condition to limit development on the property to one (1) dwelling unit, which
already exists on the property, the proposed rezoning will have not net increase on the impact to
capital facilities.
Transportation:
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies the need for a collector road from Newbys Bridge Road to
Belmont Road. In February 1984, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning (Case
#82S022) of 112 acres for a residential development called Old Creek West. A condition of
that rezoning (Condition 5) requires that prior to recordation of more than 200 lots, a sixty
(60) foot wide collector road (" i.e., no-lot frontage road") be constructed from Newbys
Bridge Road to Belmont Road.
Approximately 198 lots have been recorded in Old Creek West. Dortonway Drive has been
constructed as the first section of the required collector road connecting Newbys Bridge Road
3 99SN0275/WP/JULY28M
to Belmont Road. In order to access Belmont Road and provide a right of way for
Dortonway Drive Extended, the subject property must be rezoned. The applicant has
proffered that the Residential (R-12) 1.3 acre parcel that this rezoning will create will be
dedicated as right of way (Proffered Condition 2). Approval of this rezoning request will be
in accordance with the Thoroughfare Plan and will allow the applicant to comply with an
existing condition of zoning.
At time of tentative subdivision review, staff will make specific recommendations regarding
sight distance along Belmont Road and construction of left and right turn lanes along Belmont
Road to serve the Old Creek West development.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The property lies within the boundaries of the Central Area Land Use Plan which suggests
the propety is appropriate for residential use of 1.0 to 4.0 units per acre. The Plan anticipates
residential development to continue in this area.
Area Development Trends:
The surrounding properties are characterized by vacant parcels and a private school on
parcels zoned Agricultural (A), Residential (R-7) and Residential (R-9). Adjacent properties
to the north are zoned Residential (R-7), Residential (R-9) and are vacant. Adjacent
properties to the east and west are zoned Agricultural (A) and are vacant. Adjacent property
to the south is zoned Residential (R-7) and contains a private school. Old Creek West
Subdivision is located just to the northeast of the subject parcel. It is anticipated that
residential development patterns will continue in the area.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed zoning and land use conforms to the Central Area Land Use Plan, which suggests the
property is appropriate for residential use of 1.0 to 4.0 units per acre, the Thoroughfare Plan and area
development trends. The proffered condition to limit development to one (1) unit insures that there
will be no net increase on the impact to capital facilities.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
