STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Re uest I: Recommend approval of the rezoning subject to the applicant adequately
addressing 1) the impact of the residential portion of the project on the health,
welfare and safety of the residents of the development and surrounding areas
through crime prevention measures and 2) the provision of a project focal point.
This recommendation is made for the following reasons:
A. The proposed commercial land uses conform to the Northern Area Plan
which suggests that portion of the property is appropriate for general
commercia uses.
B. Whereas the Northern Area Plan suggests the remaining portion of the
property is appropriate for light industrial use, the proposed residential
uses promote appropriate land use transitions from the existing single
family residential uses to the south and west to the established and
proposed commercial development to the north and east, as intended by
the Plan.
C. The proffered conditions mitigate the impacts on capital facilities for the
residential portion of the development thereby insuring adequate service
levels are maintained and protecting the health, safety and welfare of
COUnty C1tlzenS.
D. The application fails to address the impact of the townhouse and
condominiums portions of the project on the health, welfare and safety of
the residents of the development and surrounding areas through crime
prevention measures, as recommended by the Police Department and
discussed herein.
E. The focal point provision within the residential portion of the development
fails to meet the typical size for other cluster projects.
Re uest II: Recommend denial of relief to street access requirements for the following
reason:
The proffered emergency access road to serve more than fifty (50) residential
units is not an acceptable substitute for a second public road access.
(NOTE: CONDITIONS MAY BE IMPOSED OR THE PROPERTY OWNER(S) MAY
PROFFER CONDITIONS. THE CONDITIONS NOTED WITH "STAFF/CPC" WERE
AGREED UPON BY BOTH STAFF AND THE COMMISSION. CONDITIONS WITH ONLY

the Pocono Tank Water Pressure Zone. There is an existing six (6) inch water line extending
along the south side of Midlothian Turnpike that terminates adjacent to the northern
boundary of this site. In addition, there is an existing eight (8) inch water line extending
along Metropolitan Court that terminates approximately 250 feet from the northwest
boundary of this site. Both the existing six (6) inch and eight (8) inch water lines have static
pressures governed by the Robious Tank Water Pressure Zone. The source of public water
for serving this site will be determined by the fire flows and residual pressure available in
the existing water lines. Any system improvements will be the responsibility of the
developer. Use of the public water system is intended. (Proffered Condition 3)
Public Wastewater System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector line extending from Tuxford Road

along the western boundary of this site. Use of the public wastewater system is intended.
(Proffered Condition 3)
6 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the south through Shenandoah Subdivision to Pocoshock
Creek. There are currently no on- or off site erosion problems and none are anticipated
after development. There are no on-site drainage problems.
Runoff exits on the property in two (2) locations. There are several houses in close
proximity to Route 60 where water flows through some depressions into the rear yards of
approximately four (4) houses before draining to the roadside ditches in the front. During
times of moderate storm events, this water can be substantial and located within a few
feet of these houses. If any impervious area drains to this area, it will greatly increase the
problem.
Shenandoah Subdivision, which was constructed in 1964, has inadequate culverts under
Tuxford Road as well as the paved ditches that transport the water from Tuxford Road
down through the subdivision to Pocoshock Creek. The houses were also constructed
when the County required no setback from floodplains and some of the houses are close
to the channel. A large portion of Route 60 also drains through this property and
ultimately through Shenandoah.
To improve the current flooding problems on the lots between this property and Tuxford
Road without exacerbating the existing drainage situation, the applicant has proffered to
perform an overall drainage study for the subject property and all off site drainage
traversing this property. Based upon this study, the development would be designed to
release water at a two (2) year pre-development rate for the subj ect property (two (2) year
existing rate for off site drainage) and to store the post 100-year rate for drainage from, or
traversing the property. These release rates may be modified by the Environmental
Engineering Department if downstream conditions permit. Further, all runoff from
impervious areas would be directed to retention/detention basin(s) that discharge into
recorded drainage easements. These basins would be sized to store water volumes larger
than typically required by State standards. (Proffered Conditions 6, 7 and 8)
The Zoning Ordinance requires that residential uses be separated from Best Management
Practice (BMP) basins by a fifty (50) foot vegetative perimeter yard measured from the
100-year water surface elevation or the downstream toe of the dam. Conditions would
permit the Director of Environmental Engineering to reduce this required setback. To
insure minimal impact upon the adjacent Shenandoah Subdivision, the Planning
Commission would approve the location of the BMP's at the time of plans review.
(Textual Statement 2)
7 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
In response to area residents' concerns relative to the possible use of pumps for the
disposal of stormwater drainage, the applicant has proffered that all BMP's shall be
gravity-fed (Textual Statement 2). It should be noted that the Environmental Engineering
Department requires that all stormwater Systems function by gravity.
The property is currently wooded and, as such, should not be timbered without obtaining
a land disturbance permit from the Department of Environmental Engineering. This will
ensure that the adequate erosion control measures are in place prior to any land
disturbance. (Proffered Condition 4)
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities in this area is identified in the
County's adopted Public Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the adopted Capital
Improvement Program and further detailed by specific departments in the applicable sections of
this request analysis. The residential portion of this development will have an impact on these
facilities.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls
are expected to increase forty-four (44) to seventy-eight (78) percent by 2022. Six (6)
new fire/rescue stations are recommended for construction by 2022 in the Plan. In
addition to the six (6) new stations, the Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5)
existing stations. Based on 145 dwelling units, this request will generate approximately
thirty-three (33) calls for fire and emergency medical service each year. The applicant has
addressed the impact on fire and EMS. (Proffered Condition 5)
The Buford Fire Station, Company 9, and Forest View Volunteer Rescue Squad currently
provide fire protection and emergency medical service.
Typically, for multifamily developments, the Zoning Ordinance requires the provision of
a second means of public access when the cumulative number of dwelling units exceeds
fifty (50). For townhouse development, the Subdivision Ordinance includes this same
stipulation. This requirement is necessary to provide emergency vehicles a second access
to the homes should the other entrance become blocked. The applicant has requested
relief to this access requirement to allow 145 dwelling units off of one (1) public access
to Midlothian Turnpike, with the provision of an emergency access located on an
adjacent commercially-developed property to the west, as depicted on the Master Plan.
(Textual Statement 19)
Based upon concerns expressed by the adjacent Shenandoah Subdivision residents, the
applicant of the original zoning case approved in 1993 (Case 91 SN0230) agreed to severe
a public road connection to a stub road located in the adjacent Shenandoah Subdivision.
That stub road right-of way was subsequently vacated, limiting potential access to the
property. The provision of an emergency access does not substitute for a second access
8 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
that is open to the public. The applicant has attempted to address these safety concerns
with the provision of sprinkler systems within the condominium units located in Parcels
D (Textual Statement 44). whereas, the Fire Department supports the use of sprinkle
systems in these units, they are not considered a substitute for a second public access to
the development.
when the property is developed, the number of hydrants, quantity of water needed for
fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated during the plans review
process.
~ch~~l~~
Approximately seventy-one (71) (Elementary: 32, Middle: 16, High: 23) students will be
generated by this development. Currently this site lies in the Crestwood Elementary
School attendance zone: capacity - 615, enrollment - 596; Robious Middle School zone:
capacity - 1,106, enrollment - 1,189; and James River High School zone: capacity -
2,062, enrollment - 2,043. The enrollment is based on September 30, 2008 and the
capacity is as of 2007-2008. This request will have an impact at the middle school level.
There are currently four (4) trailers at Crestwood Elementary, sixteen (16) at Robious
Middle and one (1) at James River High.
This case, combined with other residential developments and zoning cases in the area,
will continue to push these schools to capacity, necessitating some form of relief in the
future. The applicant has addressed the impact of the development on schools. (Proffered
Condition 5)
T,ihrariPC~
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed County-wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throughout the County.
Development could affect the existing Bon Air Library, the existing La Prade Library or
a proposed new Library in the vicinity of Courthouse Road. The need for this new facility
is identified in the Plan. The applicant has addressed the impact of the development on
libraries. (Proffered Condition 5)
Parks and Recreation:
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) regional, seven (7) community
and twenty-nine (29) neighborhood parks by 2020. In addition, there is currently a
shortage of community and neighborhood park acreage in the county. The Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for 354 acres of regional park space, 252 acres of
community park space and 199 acres of neighborhood park space by 2020. The Plan also
identifies the need for linear parks and resource based-special purpose parks [historical,
cultural and environmental] and makes suggestions for their locations; addresses the need
9 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
for addition of recreational facilities to include sports fields, trails, playgrounds, court
games, senior centers and picnicking area/shelters at existing parks to complete build -
out; and identifies the need for water access and trails along the James and Appomattox
Rivers and their maj or tributaries, Swift and Falling Creeks. Co-location with middle and
elementary schools is desired.
The applicant has offered measures to address the impact of this proposed development
on the infrastructure needs of Parks and Recreation. (Proffered Condition 5)
Transportation:
In 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning (Case 91 SN0230) of the subject
property to allow commercial development. As part of that approval, the Board accepted
several transportation related proffers. Proffered Condition 5 of Case 91 SN0230 limits
development to 200,000 square feet of shopping center or equivalent densities. Based on
shopping center trip rates, development could generate approximately 10,650 average
daily trips (ADT). In December 2001, the Board approved a modification to that zoning
(Case O l SN0276), which allows, subject to approval by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), a full crossover and traffic signal to be installed on Midlothian
Turnpike (Route 60) to serve the property. Subsequent to that rezoning amendment,
VDOT approved the new crossover and traffic signal.
The applicant is now requesting rezoning to Community Business (C-3) with a
Conditional Use to allow multi-family and townhouse uses on the property. Based on trip
rates for townhouses/condominiums, drive-in banks and convenience stores with gas
pumps, development could generate 10,740 ADT. The applicant has re-proffered many of
the same transportation conditions that are currently required with development of the
property.
Vehicles generated by this proposed development will be distributed along Route 60,
which had a 2006 traffic count of 68,785 vehicles per day. This section of Route 60 is at
capacity (Level of Service E) for the volume of traffic it carries.
Staff consistently recommends that all of the main streets in townhouse developments be
accepted into the State Highway System. Having these streets accepted into the State
Highway System will insure their long-term maintenance. The applicant has proffered
that all of the streets that will accommodate general traffic circulation in the townhouse
tract will be designed and constructed to State (i.e., VDOT) standards and taken into the
State System. (Proffered Condition 11)
Development must adhere to the Development Standards Manual in the Zoning
Ordinance, relative to access and internal circulation (Division 5). Access to major
arterials, such as Route 60, should be controlled. Proffered Condition 1 of Case
Ol SN0230 limits access to Route 60 to one (1) entrance/exit, located approximately in the
center of the property. This is the access that VDOT has approved for a crossover and a
traffic signal. As part of this request, the applicant has proffered that direct vehicular
access from the property to Route 60 will be limited to two (2) entrances/exits (Proffered
10 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
Condition 9). In addition to the one (1) access located midway of the property frontage,
the applicant would like another access located at the western property line. This second
access would be limited to right-turns-in and right-turns-out only, and would only be
permitted if the existing access to Route 60 that serves the adjacent parcel to the west
were closed.
The traffic impact of this development must be addressed. The applicant has proffered the
customary improvements along Route 60 such as right turn lanes at each approved access
and closing the existing crossover on Route 60 just west of the Tuxford Road
intersection. (Proffered Condition 10)
The applicant has proffered to contribute cash, in an amount consistent with the Board of
Supervisors' Policy, towards mitigating the traffic impact of the proposed residential
development (Proffered Condition 5). As development continues in this part of the
county, traffic volumes on area roads will substantially increase. Cash proffers alone will
not cover the cost of the improvements needed to accommodate the traffic increases. No
road improvement projects in this part of the county are included in the Six-Year
Improvement Plan.
The VDOT's "Chapter 527" regulations, dealing with development Traffic Impact Study
requirements, have been enacted. In July 2008, VDOT will also begin applying their new
access management regulations to principal arterials, such as Route 60. Staff has been
meeting with VDOT to attempt to understand the process and the impact of these
regulations. At this time, it is uncertain what impact VDOT's regulations will have on
this development or upon zonings approved by the county.

Based on the Textual Statement. The actual number of dwelling units and corresponding impact
may vary.
As noted, this proposed development would have an impact on capital facilities. At the time that
this rezoning application was submitted, the calculated fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit
on schools, roads, parks, libraries, and fire stations was $15,648 per unit. Effective July 1, 2008
the maximum per-dwelling-unit cash proffer was increased to $18,080. The applicant has been
advised that a maximum cash proffer of $18,080 per unit would defray the cost of the capital
facilities necessitated by this proposed development.
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other applicants,
the applicant has offered $18,080 per dwelling unit to assist in defraying the cost of this
proposed zoning on such capital facilities. (Proffered Condition 5)
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed
and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer in this case.
P~lice~
The applicant is proposing to build a high density residential project. With the support of
the county administration, the police department seeks to have developers of new high
density residential projects implement its recommendations for Crime Prevention
12 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
Through Environmental Design (OPTED) which are planning and designing principles
that constitute proactive crime prevention tools. Through OPTED principles, proper
design and effective use of the environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and
incidence of crime. In addition, the police department recommends that high density
residential projects either enter into a contract for the permanent presence of a police
officer on the premises or annually submit a security plan to it for review and approval.
Provisions in the applicant's textual statement have not adequately addressed the police
department's security concerns accordingly; the police department does not support the
applicant's request. (Textual Statement 20)
T ANTI TTCF.
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Plan which suggests that the
northwestern portion of the property is appropriate for general commercial and the
remainder of the property is appropriate for light industrial uses. The Plan was originally
adopted in 1986.
Area Development Trends:
The subject property represents an infill property surrounded by commercial and office
developments to the north and east along Midlothian Turnpike and single family residential
development to the south and west within the Shenandoah Subdivision.
Zonin H.~X:
On August 25, 1993, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the
Planning Commission, approved rezoning of a 22.2 acre tract to Neighborhood Business
(C-2) and Community Business (C-3) (Case 91 SN0230). Commercial uses were proposed.
Proffered conditions addressed use limitations; drainage; access; hours of operation;
building height and tenant space size; and buffers adjacent to Shenandoah Subdivision. The
subj ect property was included in this request.
On December 19, 2001, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by
the Planning Commission, approved amendments to Case 91 SN0230 to eliminate the
requirement that the Midlothian Turnpike access be limited to right turns in and out and
to accommodate expansion of an adjacent motor vehicle sales, service and repair facility.
(Case OlSN0276)
Site Design:
The property is proposed for a mix of commercial, multifamily residential and townhouse
uses. The property is divided into four (4) tracts as depicted on the Master Plan (Proffered
Condition 1). The boundaries and sizes of the Tracts may be modified so long
13 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
as their relationship with each other and any adjacent properties is maintained and the
residential component (Tracts C and D) does not exceed 15.5 acres. (Proffered Condition
2)
Unless specifically regulated by the Textual Statement, the development of all tracts must
comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for Community Business (C-3)
uses in a Post Development District. These standards provide flexible design criteria in
areas that have already experienced development and ensure continuity of development.
Such standards address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks,
signs, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and parking areas.
Standards for all Tracts:
Setbacks from Main Entrance Road; Street Trees; Sidewalks; Access and Lighting:
Conditions permit development in all Tracts to maintain a minimum setback of
five (5) feet from the Main Entrance Road, as depicted on the Master Plan, with
street trees and sidewalks along both sides of this road. (Textual Statement 1, 4
and 5)
In response to area residents' concerns and consistent with existing conditions of
Zoning, Vehicular and pedestrian access from the proposed development to
Shenandoah Subdivision is prohibited. (Textual Statement 7)
To provide for apedestrian-scale environment, conditions limit the height of
freestanding lighting fixtures and require a shoebox design to contain glare.
Within proposed residential areas, freestanding lighting fixtures would have an
ornamental design. (Textual Statement 3)
Notification:
Proffered Condition 12 requires that the developer notify the last known
representative of the Shenandoah Community Association on file with the
Planning Department of any development standards waiver submission, site plan
or tentative subdivision plan submission. Further, this proffer requires such
notification to occur no later than forty (40) days prior to any final action on such
plan or waiver. It is imperative that the Association keep the Planning Department
current with the name and address of the representative to be notified.
The Textual Statement also provides for earlier notification of the Association's
representative of proposed clearing in buffers, being a minimum of one (1) week
prior to such activity. (Item 18)

Midlothian Turnpike and containing approximately 2.2 acres, would
permit uses permitted in the Community Business (C-3) District, except as
restricted in the Textual Statement 8.
Building hg_t~.
Within Post Development Districts, building heights are limited to three
(3) stories or forty-five (45) feet, whichever is less, except office buildings
which may be constructed to a height of twelve (12) stories or 120 feet,
whichever is less. Proffered conditions restrict the height of office
buildings to four (4) stories. (Textual Statement 9)
Tract B (Commercial):
Uses:
Tract B, located in the northwestern portion of the property adjacent to
Midlothian Turnpike and the Shenandoah Subdivision and containing
approximately 2.9 acres, would permit uses permitted in the
Neighborhood Business (C-2) District. Further, in response to concerns
expressed by area residents, convenience stores with gasoline sales, coin
operated laundry, group care facilities, self service gasoline station uses,
massage clinics, churches and/or Sunday schools, meat or seafood markets
and funeral homes and mortuaries have also been excluded (Textual
Statement 10). Hours of operation and deliveries have also been limited.
(Textual Statement 11)
Setbacks and Buffers:
Within the Post Development Area, the minimum side or rear yard setback
from residentially-zoned properties for buildings, parking and drives is
twenty (20) feet. The Ordinance also requires aseventy-five (75) foot
buffer between C-3 and the adjacent Shenandoah development. This
buffer may be reduced or eliminated through the site plan approval
process under certain circumstances, providing opportunity for
development to adhere to the minimum twenty (20) foot setback.
Conditions provide for a minimum setback ofeighty-five (85) feet for
15 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
these improvements from the eastern property line exceeding the limits of
the required buffer, and thereby providing no development incentive to
seek a buffer reduction through the plans review process. (Textual
Statement 13 )
In response to concerns expressed by area residents, in addition to
landscaping requirements of the Ordinance, conditions require the
installation of a privacy fence within the buffer adjacent to Shenandoah
Subdivision. (Textual Statement 6)
Conditions also require the provision of privacy fencing between Parcels
B and C to minimize the view of vehicular headlights from the
Commercial tract into the adj acent townhouse development.
Building hg_t~.
With Post Development Districts, buildings located within 200 feet of a
residential district are restricted to a height of two (2) stories or thirty (30)
feet, whichever is less. Beyond this 200 feet, building heights may be
increased to three (3) stories or forty-five (45) feet, whichever is less,
except office buildings which may be constructed to a height of twelve
(12) stories or 120 feet, whichever is less. Proffered conditions restrict the
height of buildings to one (1) story. (Textual Statement 12)
Tracts C and D (Townhouse and Condominium:
Dew:
Conditions limit the total number of townhouse and condominium units
within Tracts C and D to 145, yielding an overall density often (10) units
per acre within these tracts. (Textual Statement 14)
Cluster Design Standards and Focal Point:
The requirements offered for the development where exceptions to
Ordinance development standards are requested (i.e: minimum setbacks,
parking) are consistent with those typically required by the Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors for similar projects recently
approved, except for the provision of focal point acreage. These include
street trees, sidewalks, and hardscaped driveways. (Textual Statement 4, 5
and 17)
Within smaller lot developments, focal points are provided in a central
location to visually announce a project upon entry and create green space
at the entrance of the development. Generally, focal points should be a
16 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
minimum of .75 acres to provide usable open space to accommodate
hardscaping and facilitate the gathering of residents. The applicant has
proposed a focal point containing a minimum of only .50 acres. (Textual
Statement 15)
Ruffer~~
Typically, for townhouse and multifamily developments, the Zoning
Ordinance requires the provision of a fifty (50) foot buffer between such
developments and single family residential zoning. Conditions require the
provision of fifty (50) to seventy-five (75) foot buffers adjacent to
Shenandoah Subdivision as depicted on the Concept Plan (Textual
Statement 18). These buffers would comply with landscaping
requirements consistent with Ordinance standards. Cleaning would be
permitted within one-half of the buffer width towards the project side. The
remaining one-half width adjacent to Shenandoah Subdivision would
require the retention of established vegetation. Proffered conditions
require measures to ensure that tree removal in these buffers is consistant
with these conditions to include Staff inspections prior to and during any
clearing within the buffers.
Clubhouse and Parkin:
Conditions provide for a clubhouse facility and flexibility in parking
requirements to promote an urban-style development. (Textual Statement
16 and 17)
Tract C (Townhouse:
Uses an Density:
Uses within Tract C would be limited to a maximum of forty-nine (49)
townhomes. (Textual Statement 21 and 22)
Lot Standards; Building Setbacks; Garages; and Alley:
Conditions address individual lot standards and setback requirements.
(Textual Statement 24 through 3 2)
Buffers and Common Areas:
The buffers adjacent to Shenandoah would be located within required
open space. Dwellings would be located a minimum of 100 feet from
Shenandoah, inclusive of this buffer area. Common areas would also be
provided between groups of townhouses. (Textual Statement 33, 34 and
35)
17 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
Dwellin Size, Height, and Architectural Treament:
In response to concerns of area residents, proffered conditions address the
size and height of townhouse units as well as the architectural treatment
consistent with the attached elevations. (Textual Statement 23)
Tract D (Condominium:
Uses an Density:
Uses within Tract D would be limited to a maximum of ninety-six (96)
condominiums. (Textual Statement 3 6 and 3 7)
Parcel Coverage; Units Per Floor; Building Separation and Setbacks; Building
Height; Drive and Parking Setbacks; and Dumpsters:
Conditions address the amount of building coverage for the project area;
building setbacks from roads, parking areas and property lines; distance
between buildings; and the number of dwelling units per one floor of a
building. (Textual Statement 3 8, 3 9, 41 and 43 )
All buildings are limited to a maximum height of three (3) stories. In
response to concerns expressed by area residents, all buildings must be
located a minimum of 210 feet from the adjacent Shenandoah Subdivision,
inclusive of buffers (Textual Statement 40). Except from the main
entrance road and as stated herein, no building setbacks are required.
(Textual Statement 41)
Conditions require no setbacks for parking areas and drives from roads
(other than the Main Entrance Road) and property boundaries (other than
the required buffer areas, as discussed herein). (Textual Statement 42)
Typically, within multifamily projects, the Ordinance requires that solid
waste storage areas be located a minimum of fifty (50) feet from
residential uses provided they are screened from view by a masonry or
concrete wall. In response to concerns expressed by area residents, all
dumpsters must be located a minimum of 300 feet from the adjacent
Shenandoah Subdivision. (Textual Statement 45)
18 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed commercial land uses conform to the Northern Area Plan which suggests that
portion of the property is appropriate for general commercial uses. Further, the proposed
residential uses on the remainder of the property promote appropriate land use transitions from
the existing single family residential uses to the south and west to the established and proposed
commercial development to the north and east, as suggested by the Plan.
The proffered conditions mitigate the impacts of the residential portion of the development on
Capital facilities thereby insuring adequate service levels are maintained.
The application fails to adequately address the impact of the townhouse and condominiums
portions of the project on the health, welfare and safety of the residents of the development and
surrounding areas through crime prevention measures, as recommended by the Police
Department and discussed herein. In addition, the focal point provision of one-half acre within
the residential portion of the development fails to meet the typical three-quarter acre size for
other cluster projects.
The proffered emergency access road to serve more than fifty (50) residential units is not an
acceptable substitute for a second public road access.
Given these considerations, approval of the rezoning (Request I) is recommended subject to
addressing crime prevention measures and focal point size.
Denial of relief to street access requirements (Request II) is recommended.

25 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
density. Concerns expressed included lack of recreational/focal point provisions;
preference for additional tree retention in buffers; and impacts on vehicular access for a
neighboring church use.
Staff noted that with the proposed signalized access to this development, the fate of the
existing crossover on Midlothian Turnpike serving the neighboring church was up to the
Virginia Department of Transportation; that a second public access was preferable to an
emergency access but that sprinkling of residential units would lessen the impact of not
having a full second access.
Mr. Waller noted that the development provided for a clubhouse and buffers within the
open space; and that the provision of further recreational amenities should be based upon
community desires.
On a motion of Mr. Waller, seconded by Mr. Hassen, the Commission recommended
approval and acceptance of the proffered conditions on pages 3 through 5.
AYES: Messrs. Brown, Hassen and Waller.
ABSENT: Messrs. Gulley and Bass.
Board of Supervisors' Meeting (11/19/08):
The applicant accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation, but did not accept
staff s recommendation. There was support present noting that modifications to the case
addressed the majority of the adjoining neighborhood issues.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns relative to the absence of a guaranteed amount of
commercial development density; and the lack of vehicular and pedestrian connectivity
with adjacent projects.
Mr. Gecker noted that the request failed to address security provisions and fire/safety
concerns relative to residential access; that the property did not represent a good location
for residential development as further demonstrated by the lack of access opportunities;
and that the proposal represented a short term development solution at the expense of
long term goals within the Corridor.
Mr. Warren indicated that the applicant had diligently worked with adjoining property
owners; that the land uses complied with the Comprehensive Plan; that the application
addressed buffers, drainage and impacts on capital facilities; and that the adjoining
neighborhood had indicated their support for the project.
Mr. Warren made a motion to approve the request with the acceptance of the proffered
conditions on pages 3 through 5. Mr. Holland seconded this motion. The vote was as
follows:
26 08SN0105-DEC17-BOS-RPT
AYES: Messrs. Warren and Holland.
NAPES: Mr. Gecker, Ms. Durfee and Ms. Jaeckle.
The motion was defeated due to lack of a maj ority vote. A substitute motion was not
offered; therefore, the case was carried over to the Board's December 17, 2008 meeting.
Staff (11/21/08):
The applicant was advised in writing that any significant, new or revised information
should be submitted no later than November 25, 2008 for consideration at the Boards'
