rate ($0.89) and business personal property (general
business property) rate ($3.25) as other payers. He
stated the computer equipment inside the facilities
is taxed at its own rate of $0.24. He provided a
chart detailing the 2025 top 10 principal taxpayers
in the county, the assessed value for each taxpayer's
property, and the percent of total assessed
valuation. He explained how data center revenue would
represent an 18-percent (18%) increase in the
county's current commercial tax base. He shared
details of a data center revenue proposal that would
be considered by the Board during a public hearing
later in the evening, which, if approved, would
dedicate new data center dollars (real estate,
personal property, or equipment) to lower the car tax
rate.

following imposed condition:

Midlothian
In Midlothian Magisterial District, Robious Road
Rezoning and Adjustment is a request to rezone from
Agricultural (A) to Transition Residential (TR) with
adjustment to ordinance requirements for development
standards and amendment of zoning district map
fronting approximately 250 feet on the north side of
Robious Road, 375 feet east of Cranbeck Road. The
3.45 acre property is proposed for a maximum
development of 27 dwelling units. The Comprehensive
Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
Residential Neighborhood 8 use (8.0 units per acre or
less). Tax IDs 742-714-7407 and 9231.
Ms. Wilson introduced the case.
Dr. Miller stated the proposal is located on a
section of Robious Road that has been identified as
part of the high injury network (HIN) in the county,
which are the roads where a disproportionate number
of severe crashes, resulting in fatalities or serious
injuries, occur. He further stated that, in line with
the county’s commitment to Safe Streets for All, he
could not support the additional traffic generated by
this request until this safety issue has been
addressed. He stated that, in addition to the safety
issue, the applicant is requesting an adjustment to
the minimum project size, reducing it from 5 acres
down to 3.45 acres. He further stated that he did not
believe this adjustment is justified or has been
properly mitigated; instead, the proposal is being
shoe-horned into a property that is too small to
allow appropriate development of the site. He stated
that he is not opposed to development of this
property, but this proposal was not something he
could support.
On motion of Dr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Carroll, the
Board denied Case 25SN1254.
Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle and Hylton.

K. 25SN1208 - Spring Run Road Rezoning - Matoaca
In Matoaca Magisterial District, Spring Run Road
Rezoning is a request to rezone from Agricultural (A)
to Semi-Urban Neighborhood (SU) plus a waiver to
connectivity and conditional use to permit a
telecommunications tower and amendment of zoning
district map on property fronting approximately 1,150
feet on the north side of Spring Run Road, 450 feet
west of Pasture Hill Road, known as 13200 Spring Run
Road. The 102.4 acre property is proposed for a
maximum development of 199 dwelling units. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for Residential Neighborhood 4 use (4.0
units per acre or less). Tax ID 733-664-0529.
Principal Planner Betsy Hatch introduced the case.
She stated the Planning Commission and staff
recommended approval, subject to the conditions in
the staff report.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Carroll and the
applicant's representative, Mark Smith, relative to
striking the cell phone tower use, to which Mr. Smith
had no objection.
Additional discussion ensued relative to an eagle's
nest on the property and receipt of a general permit
from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to
proceed with development while maintaining areas
around the nest, observing time-of-year restrictions,
starting development a little farther from the nest,
and ongoing monitoring.
Dr. Miller called for public comment.
8/26/2026 Page 48 of 86
Will Shewmake stated Network Towers on Spring Run
Road is in the final stages of the site plan, and
they anticipate breaking ground within two to three
months.
Robert Harmon stated it is horrible stewardship of
the land to put 200 homes on 100 acres. He expressed
concerns relative to insufficient infrastructure.
Phil Lohr expressed concerns relative to selective
application of crash zones to zoning cases,
developers running rampant, and the Board not
listening.
Ken Tarrant spoke in favor of the case. He highly
praised county staff and the community meeting
process and stated he knew it was not possible to
keep the land zoned Agricultural.
Jerry Turner stated the case is a prime example of
building too much. He further stated the
infrastructure cannot support the proposed
development.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the
public hearing was closed.
Mr. Smith addressed concerns raised by citizen
speakers.
Mr. Carroll addressed concerns relative to
insufficient infrastructure, noting that the General
Assembly does not permit the county to deny a zoning
case due to insufficient infrastructure. He also
discussed crash data, revision of the Comprehensive
Plan, the eagle's nest, connection through Clover
Way, a change in the buffer on the right side to
increase the lot sizes adjacent to the houses in
Clover Hill Farms, and installation of a six-foot
privacy fence. He then made a motion, seconded by Dr.
Hylton, to approve the rezoning but deny the
conditional use for a cell phone (telecommunications)
tower.
Discussion ensued relative to indiscriminately
selecting when the Board will or will not enforce a
concern on traffic, calculation of lot sizes, looking
at each case on its merits, and elimination of the
East-West Freeway.
Dr. Miller then called for a vote on Mr. Carroll's
motion, seconded by Dr. Hylton, for the Board to
approve Case 25SN1208, subject to the following
conditions, excluding the conditional use for a cell
phone (telecommunications) tower:

17. Strategic Amenity Space Types. The areas
identified as strategic amenity space shall be
improved with one or more qualifying strategic
amenity space types. The specific improvements shall
be identified on the preliminary site plan; provided,

a. Bikeways & Trails Plan. Construction
of any shared use path, trail, or similar bikeway
improvement (“path”), shall not be required along
East Hundred Road or Point of Rocks Road. In lieu of
construction of a path, the applicant’s dedication
proffer above includes an extra ten (10) feet of
right-of-way along East Hundred Road. This adjustment
does not remove the owner/developer’s obligation to
install sidewalks along East Hundred Road and Point
of Rocks Road.

Public utility easements granted to Chesterfield
County may be located in any manner, including,
without limitation, a parallel manner, within the
portions of the required buffers along East Hundred
Road and Point of Rocks Road, as such portions of the
required buffers are shown on the Utilities Exhibit
provided by the Utilities Department and where
existing public utility easements exist. Where a
public easement is co-located with a buffer, the

Perimeter Landscape B and section 19.2-41.A.10 shall
be followed. (P)

8/26/2026 Page 66 of 86
six feet (6’) tall shall be provided along the shared
property line where noted on the Conceptual Plan,
unless a different location is approved at the time
of plans review and approval. The privacy fence shall
be constructed as a wood or vinyl board on board
fence. (P)
21. GPIN 827-641-3271. Open space, a minimum of
ten (10) feet deep, shall be provided along the
shared property line with GPIN 827-641-3271, except
where a road buffer is required. This open space
shall be made part of the common area to be owned by
the homeowner’s association for the project. (P) [Staff Note: See location of this parcel reference on the Current Zoning Map]
22. GPIN 826-642-8234. So long as GPIN 826-642-
8234 is zoned to the Agricultural (A) District, a
twenty-five (25) foot wide perimeter landscape buffer
shall be required around the perimeter of GPIN 826-
642-8234. (P) [Staff Note: See location of this parcel reference on the Current Zoning Map]
23. Lighting. Lighting requirements for sidewalks
and driveways shall be met with a post light placed
in the front yard with an additional carriage light
near the garage door. (P)
24. Garage Depth. If the garage projects more than
five (5) feet from the main dwelling line of the

sidewall adjacent to the lead walk or the front door.
(P)
Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle, Schneider, and Hylton.

8/26/2026 Page 67 of 86
Mr. Saunders introduced the case. He stated the
Planning Commission and staff recommended approval,
subject to the conditions in the staff report.
Brian Jackson, representing the applicant, provided
additional details about the case.
Dr. Miller called for public comment.
Ginny Castle expressed concerns relative to there
being no buffers, 500-kilovolt (kV) lines, 30-foot
Chainlink fence, and Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMFs).
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the
public hearing was closed.
Mr. Jackson responded to the citizen speaker's
concerns and provided additional details about the
case.
Mr. Ingle stated it is important to note that this is
a switching station, not a substation, and the power
lines are already there and transverse the whole
area.
Adam Ridge with Dominion provided additional details
about the four lines in the area and stated this
allows interconnectivity and more options.
Additional discussion ensued between Board members
and Mr. Jackson relative to discussions with nearby
property owners who, after meeting with the applicant
to better understand the case, no longer have
objections. There was also discussion about the
distance from the lines to the homes.
At Mr. Carroll's request, Mr. Ridge explained the
purpose of the switching station.
On motion of Mr. Ingle, seconded by Ms. Schneider,
the Board approved Case 26SN2139, subject to the

Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle, Schneider, and Hylton.
Nays: None.
18. Public Hearings
Ms. Wilson stated that at the July 22, 2026, Board of
Supervisors meeting, the Board set a public hearing
to consider the exercise of eminent domain for the
Coalfield Road (Bristol Village Drive - Woolridge
Road) Sidewalk Project. She further stated that,
after setting the public hearing, Transportation
staff determined the project was not ready for the
exercise of eminent domain and, accordingly, the
public hearing was not advertised, nor was it placed
on the Board's agenda for the evening.
A. To Consider a Revision to Chapter 6 of the County

Deputy County Administrator Matt Harris introduced
the public hearing.
Dr. Miller called for public comment.
There being no one to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
On motion of Mr. Carroll, seconded by Dr. Hylton, the
Board adopted the following ordinance:
8/26/2026 Page 70 of 86

Harris relative to the manners in which the program
is advertised.
On motion of Mr. Ingle, seconded by Dr. Hylton, the
Board adopted the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF
CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED, BY AMENDING AND
RE-ENACTING SECTION 9-25 RELATING TO RESTRICTIONS
AND CONDITIONS AND SCHEDULE OF REAL ESTATE
EXEMPTIONS PERMITTED

Chesterfield, 1997, as amended, is amended and re-
enacted to read as follows:
OOO

8/26/2026 Page 72 of 86
Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle, Schneider, and Hylton.
Nays: None.
C. To Consider an Amendment to County Code Chapter 9
Relative to Annual Allocation of Data Center-Derived
Tax Revenue
On motion of Dr. Hylton, seconded by Ms. Schneider,
the Board suspended its rules to consider items after
11 p.m.
Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle, Schneider, and Hylton.
Nays: None.
Mr. Harris introduced the public hearing.
Discussion ensued relative to whether the current
Chirisa revenue would be included and whether Google
specifically could be targeted.
Dr. Miller called for public comment.
Katherine McMahon expressed concerns relative to the
timing of the notice of this public hearing.
Mike Uzel expressed concerns relative to public
hearings being held so late in the evening and stated
the benefit of the proposal is a net-zero to the
treasury.
Gail Christie expressed concerns relative to the
timing of the notice of this public hearing.
Renae Eldred stated if the county is going to have
data centers, it might as well get something out of
them, and a reduction in the car tax is less money
out of her pocket.
Steve Meadows stated there are proposals to increase
taxes and decrease car taxes, and the Board should
look at everything together to see if it is
worthwhile.
Ginny Castle stated the proposed ordinance feels like
playing catch up, and a reduction in the car tax does
not help her because she drives old cars.
Phil Lohr stated he did not think citizens want to
see data center-derived revenue go toward the car
tax, and he asked the Board to defer a decision.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the
public hearing was closed.
Mr. Ingle clarified that knowledge about this public
hearing began appearing on social media on August 12.
He explained his reasoning for supporting data
centers, which is to reduce the burden on citizens.
He discussed the real estate tax rate, the personal
property tax rate, the 1 for Schools Referendum, the
timeline for a future bond referendum, and data
centers paying for their costs for the increase to
the power grid.
8/26/2026 Page 73 of 86
Dr. Hylton stated the Board needs more time to look
at the proposed ordinance and listen to the
community.
Ms. Schneider stated the proposal is not equitable
because not everybody owns a car and pays personal
property tax. She agreed with Dr. Hylton and stated
it was not talked about enough as to what would be
the best use of the dollars. She provided homeless
shelters as an example of things the county should
invest in. She stated she thinks there are a lot of
better ways to cover things the county should be
paying for or making available as resources in the
county. She further stated she agreed the matter
should be deferred, so the Board can talk more about
it.
Mr. Carroll stated he had the same thought process as
Mr. Ingle, which was to provide tax relief to the
community. He discussed Loudon County's tax rate and
data centers, which yield a billion dollars a year in
revenue, yet Loudon County is still the most
expensive county in which to live in the United
States of America. He shared his thought process when
deciding between a data center and 1,800 homes in his
district and what would give the best opportunity for
the highest and best use to give tax relief to the
community. He discussed the renting of police
stations for decades, the 2022 bond referendum, and
the need to establish priorities. He agreed that more
community members need an opportunity to weigh in on
this decision and expressed his support for a
deferral.
Ms. Schneider provided details about the community
bank in Richmond, which gives citizens an opportunity
to get involved and give feedback on ideas of what to
spend on.
Dr. Miller discussed his thought process for
approving a data center in his district and finding a
better use for the land instead of a FedEx facility.
He stated he and Mr. Ingle were thinking about the
same thing, which is how they show those they serve a
possible immediate payoff and put more money into
their pockets. He further stated he could see the
logic in continuing the conversation and discussing
other uses for the money. He discussed the 1 for
Schools Referendum and the challenges of waiting for
a future bond referendum. He then made a motion,
seconded by Dr. Hylton, for the Board to defer a
decision on the amendment to its September 23, 2026,
meeting.
Ayes: Miller, Carroll, Ingle, Schneider, and Hylton.
Nays: None.
D. To Consider a Code Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 19.2, and Chapters 4, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15
Zoning Administrator Thomas Jenkins introduced the
public hearing.
8/26/2026 Page 74 of 86
Dr. Miller called for public comment.
Renae Eldred inquired about amendments to medical-
type facilities, such as methadone clinics, and where
they would go; trailers on single-family lots and the
timeframe for permitting; and food vendors.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the
public hearing was closed.
Mr. Jenkins provided answers to Ms. Eldred's
questions.
On motion of Ms. Schneider, seconded by Mr. Ingle,
the Board adopted the following ordinance:

Please forgive me if I am
commenting about the wrong
issue. I was at the last
meeting concerned with Mr .
Garcia wanting to park
trucks , etc on his
property as his business
and I stated me and My
husband were against it for
many reasons. As you know
the Planning Commission
agreed. I understand the
Supervisors will make the
final decision at the
meeting on the 26st. It
appears, if Mr. Garcia
really wanted it to pass,
he would be trying to cut
down the noise. He has
changed nothing. The trucks
are still roaring, the
chicken coup is up against
our easement and the
roosters are still crowing.
Thank you for letting me

I respectfully ask that you
deny Case 25SN1208. CDOT
has repeatedly stated that
it cannot support this
application. In its 5th
Review, CDOT wrote, "Staff
cannot support this
request," and further
stated that the proposal
presents public safety
concerns along existing
substandard roads and fails
to comply with the
Comprehensive Plan.
This project would add
~2,000 vehicle trips per
day from 199 homes onto
Spring Run Road and Qualla
Road, which CDOT describes
as substandard roads with
little or no shoulders,
poor alignments, and
roadside hazards. CDOT also
noted that the County has
no planned improvements to
address these deficiencies.
The proposed density is
significantly out of
character with the
surrounding area. The

applicant proposes lot
sizes of approximately 0.30
acres, compared to roughly
1.5-2 acre lots in Clover
Hill Farm and approximately
1 acre lots in Donegal
Glen. This development
would be several times
denser than neighboring
communities and represents
a dramatic departure from
the established character
of the corridor. Residents
purchased homes in this
area expecting a low-
density, rural-suburban
setting. Concentrating 199
homes on relatively small
lots will increase traffic,
place additional strain on
inadequate infrastructure,
and fundamentally alter the
area's character.
My greatest concern is
safety and access. The
development proposes 199
homes along only 0.20 miles
of Spring Run Road. While
the applicant points to two
access points, one is
merely a restricted right-
in/right-out entrance
located only one-tenth of a
mile away on the same
frontage. In reality, the
entire development still
depends on a single roadway
corridor. A single
accident, disabled vehicle,
or fallen tree would
eliminate access for
residents and emergency
responders.
CDOT specifically stated
that without a secondary
vehicular connection to
Bailey Bridge Road and
connectivity to the
adjacent subdivision via
the unimproved right-of-
way, staff cannot support
the request. That concern
remains unresolved. A
future stub road is not a
secondary connection; it is
only the possibility of one
someday. County staff also
identified concerns
regarding Lots 153-199 and
recommended improved
connectivity to address

emergency response and
public safety issues. The
road network is inadequate,
connectivity is
insufficient, and public
safety concerns remain
unresolved. Two hundred
homes deserve two real ways
in and out, not one
entrance and a
technicality.

My name is Eric Whitaker,
and I am a resident of
Chesterfield County living
at 6110 Jessup Rd. I am
writing to express my
strong opposition to the
pending application for a
Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) that would authorize
the use of the adjacent
property at 4901 S Turner
as a commercial parking,
vehicle storage, and
staging yard for a tree-
cutting service. Our
neighborhood is currently
designated as an
Agricultural/Residential
(A) zone, a designation
meant to preserve the
rural, agricultural, and
residential character of
our community. Allowing a
heavy commercial logistics
operation here directly
contradicts the purpose of
this zoning district.
The intense commercial
activity on this property
directly impacts our day-
to-day lives in the
following ways:
• Proximity and Lack of
Buffering: The commercial
parking lot has been
constructed within mere
feet of my property line.
This removes any
reasonable, protective
buffer zone required
between heavy
industrial/commercial
operations and private
residential properties,
eroding our privacy and
peace.
• Scale of Commercial Fleet
and Workforce: This is not
a minor home-based
business. The operation
Eric
Whitaker
Dale
8/26/2026 Page 85 of 86
Comment Type
Comment Name District
utilizes workers who arrive
daily to operate and shift
a substantial commercial
fleet, including multiple
large trucks, utility vans,
and pickup trucks.
• Storage and Environmental
Hazards: The property is
being used to pile and
store raw lumber and tree
debris. This creates an
immediate fire hazard, an
unsightly blight on our
neighborhood landscape, and
a breeding ground for
pests.
While we respect a property
owner's right to utilize
their land productively, a
Conditional Use Permit
should not be granted when
the requested use
significantly disrupts,
endangers, and devalues the
surrounding residential
community. This intensive,
multi-vehicle commercial
footprint belongs in an
industrial park, not an
Agricultural/Residential
neighborhood.
For these reasons, I
respectfully urge the Board
of Supervisors to DENY this
Conditional Use Permit
application and direct code
enforcement to restore the
property to its compliant,
permitted
residential/agricultural
state.

preservation of surrounding

Timmons group met with us
and was very helpful
explaining how we would be
impacted.
We are senior citizens and
led to believe we were part
of Woolridge Landing, 55
and older community with
access to amenities but our
key fobs were rescinded
after one week yet we go to
the clubhouse to receive
our mail. That was our
first bombshell.
The zoning request was the
second. We were here six
weeks when the zoning sign
appeared by our home.
We are asking the board to
find a way for the
construction traffic to
enter and exiting off of
Woolridge Road. By exiting
on Woolridge Landing, the
wildlife would be
protected, as well as the
value and privacy of our
home most likely for
another year. It would also
protect Grandin Avenue and
the senior citizens, who
frequently walk along the
road with grand children,
pets and bikes. For us
personally backing out of
our driveway in
construction traffic would
be dangerous …
not to mention all of the
debris, nails, etc..
Thank you for your time and
consideration.

1. Lot area requirements may be affected by the availability of on-site sewage disposal or septic
systems as provided in Chapter 12, Health and Sanitation, of the County Code.
2. For lots recorded after February 27, 2001, the lot width shall be increased to the minimum required
road frontage width for a depth necessary to create a five-acre lot or in an arrangement approved
by the Director of Planning based upon limitations imposed by the lot shape or environmental
features.
3. Frontage on the terminus of a stub street does not meet the requirements for road frontage unless
a determination is made that extension of the stub street is not needed to serve future development.
4. Lots recorded without road frontage prior to April 28, 1976 are not subject to road frontage
requirements. Such lots may be used for dwelling purposes or manufactured home purposes with
zoning approval. Lots recorded between April 28, 1976 and February 28, 2001 subject to a
validated plat may be used for dwelling purposes or manufactured home purposes with zoning
approval.
5. Setbacks may be impacted by Floodplain, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, or Upper Swift
Creek Watershed regulations.
6. Minimum setbacks shall be increased, where necessary, to obtain the required width at the front
building line.
7. On lots created and occupied by a principal building prior to June 23, 1993, buildings set back
less than 150 feet may be expanded provided the setback is the greater of 40 feet or the setback of
the existing building.
8. On lots created and occupied by a principal building prior to May 26, 1988, principal buildings
set back less than 100 feet may be expanded provided the setback is the greater of 40 feet or the

19.2-24 Roseland Zoning Overlay District (RZO)
Purpose: The Roseland Zoning Overlay (RZO) District provides for a high-quality master- planned
mixed-use community. It is the intent of this District to allow for flexibility while maintaining the high-
quality development concepts envisioned by the approved Roseland rezoning (Zoning Case 07SN0223)
along with the guiding principles as set forth below:
• development of a high-quality, cohesive master-planned community offering a mix of uses with a blend
of suburban and urban environments;
• establishment of mixed-use nodes of varying levels of intensity from small-scale neighborhood-
oriented/village centers to larger activity centers which serve the overall community;
• integration of different residential unit types and assorted lot sizes;
• establishment of a Linear Park system along the Tomahawk Creek corridor for the enjoyment of
Roseland’s residents and the general public;
• an interconnected trail network providing cycling and pedestrian opportunities throughout the
community including a “Main Line Trail” linking the Linear Park system together with surrounding
development;
• an adequate road network to address traffic impacts and create a safe and efficient multimodal
transportation network that promotes context-sensitive and innovative design. Such network should
provide interconnectivity and high-quality streetscapes which serve as focal features for buildings and
open spaces;
• buildings consisting of high-quality materials and design which provide visual interest and durability
to stand the test of time; and
• encourage protection and preservation of environmentally sensitive areas through the use of alternative
stormwater systems, low-impact development techniques, and establishment of significant greenspace
along major stream corridors and throughout the overall community.
The provisions of this district shall not supersede the approved conditions of Zoning Case 07SN0223. Upon
adoption, zoning approval for individual ownership tracts may be obtained, with more specific land uses
and design details being provided for each development tract. Any rezoning request submitted on property
located within the RZO boundaries shall comply with the standards provided herein and as otherwise
required by the Chesterfield County Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise granted by the Chesterfield County
Board of Supervisors where such approval would advance the guiding principles above. Once rezoning is
granted on an individual development tract, the conditions of Zoning Case 07SN0223 shall be null and void
within such tract.
That this ordinance shall become effective immediately after adoption.
A. Zoning Districts and Areas of Applicability.
The RZO is comprised of the following area as shown on the zoning maps, and as shaded in Figure
19.2-24.1.:

Master Plan is general in nature and provides for flexibility of overall uses while depicting desirable
locations for higher-density and/or mixed-use nodes throughout the RZO, as well as flexibility for
road alignments throughout individual projects so long as connection points to adjoining roads and/or
parcels are in the general locations illustrated in the Master Plan below. The locations of specific uses
shall be determined at the time of rezoning and plans review, or as otherwise required by the Zoning
Ordinance through Schematic Plan approval. The Master Plan is displayed in Figure 19.2-24.2.:

I. Road Network. The purpose of this section is to provide a hierarchy of street types, their general
locations and minimum design standards for roads within the RZO.
Figure 19.2-24.4. below shows the conceptual routing of roads (arterial, collector and local roads)
within the RZO. The alignments of the major roads would connect to adjacent roads and/or
neighboring projects in the general locations illustrated in the figure below. Otherwise, these routes
are general in nature and depict a hierarchy of street types in order to support the desired development
pattern in Roseland. The alignment of each major road within a particular project shall be determined
by the property owner(s) during the rezoning and/or plans review process, subject to approval by the
Transportation Department. For local roads, the alignment and connection points to other roads shall
be determined by the property owner(s) and as approved by the Transportation Department during
the rezoning process and/or plans review process, notwithstanding what is shown below.

generally in the areas surrounding Tomahawk Creek and connecting between Tomahawk Creek
(Tract A.4.) and Brightwalton Road Extended (Tract A.2 or combination of Tracts A.2. and C).
a. Main Line Trail. A shared-use path connecting to neighborhoods and other points of interest
within Roseland, as well as to the overall County bikeways and trails network shall be
provided. The Main Line Trail is that portion of the Linear Park that will be approved and
maintained by the Department of Parks & Recreation. The trail shall be paved with a
minimum width of eight feet and routed generally parallel to Tomahawk Creek and in the
locations as otherwise shown in Figure 19.2-24.5. The trail shall be placed within a public
access easement. The Director of Planning may approve deviations in the routing of the Main
Line Trail when it is agreed upon by the Environmental Engineering, Parks & Recreation
37
and/or Transportation Department(s) that a particular routing would not be viable due to
environmental, topographical or other constraints.
b. Additional land along the Main Line Trail shall be dedicated to the Linear Park system. The
Linear Park shall include trails, in addition to the Main Line Trail, along with other active and
passive recreational uses. The Linear Park shall either be maintained as Amenity Space under
a public access easement or dedicated as a public park upon acceptance by the Department of
Parks & Recreation. To ensure that individual subdivisions or projects contain on-site
recreational or other amenities, additional Amenity Space shall be provided outside of the
areas designated as the Linear Park. The Linear Park and Amenity Space shall be calculated
as provided below:
i. For Tracts A.1., A.3., A.4., B, D, E and F, 12% of such tract exclusive of any Resource
Protection Area (RPA) shall be provided as Amenity Space, subject to the following
provisions:
(A) 50% of the Amenity Space required on each of the above tracts, except for Tract
F, shall be designated as the Linear Park.
(B) For the purposes of calculating the Linear Park and Amenity Space, Tracts A.3. &
D shall be treated as one tract.
ii. For Tracts A.2. and C, 10% of each tract exclusive of any Resource Protection Area
(RPA) shall be provided as Amenity Space, subject to the following provisions:
(A) Within Tract C, if townhomes and similar attached unit styles including two-
family dwellings and twin homes, multi-family residential uses or non-residential
uses are developed, 12% of such tract exclusive of any Resource Protection Area
(RPA) shall be provided as Amenity Space.
(B) For any tract containing the Main Line Trail, 50% of the Amenity Space required
on such tract shall be designated as the Linear Park.
iii. Remaining Amenity Space on any tract which is located outside of the Linear Park shall
be distributed among each individual subdivision or project within that tract as
determined at the time of zoning, and subject to the following provisions:
(A) Developments containing mixed-use buildings, or a combination of non-
residential buildings and multi-family residential buildings shall include
strategically located public green spaces/plazas with commercial uses fronting or
facing such open spaces to create small-scale urban village centers.
iv. For trails located within a Resource Protection Area (RPA), a maximum width of 100
feet shall be permitted to be calculated towards the Linear Park requirement.
2. Trail System. Public and private trails, other than the Main Line Trail and those within street
rights-of-way, shall be provided throughout the development. Figure 19.2-24.5. shows the
conceptual routing of such trails throughout the Overlay District.

19.2-27 Floodplain Management Districts (F)
E. Variances
1. The burden of proof rests upon the applicant for a variance to the requirements of this Section,
and, without such proof, the request must be denied. The applicant must show, in addition to the
requirements contained in Subsection F, good and sufficient cause that failure to grant the
variance would result in an exceptional hardship; that granting the variance will not result in
increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety or extraordinary public expense, create
nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws or
ordinances; and that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard or risk
of dam break inundation, to afford relief. No variance shall be granted within any designated
regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
2. While the granting of variances generally is limited to a lot size less than one-half acre, deviations
from that limitation may occur. Variances may be issued by the Director of Environmental
Engineering for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half
acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below
the base flood level, in conformance with the provisions of this Section.
3. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements and for other
development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the criteria
of this Section are met, and the structure or other development is protected by methods that
minimize flood damages during the base flood, and create no additional threats to public safety.
4. The decision of the Director of Environmental Engineering regarding an application for a variance
may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals pursuant to Sec. 19.2-65 of this Chapter.

G. Calculation of Amenity Space.
73
1. Determining Amenity Space in Multi-District or Multi-Pattern Residential Projects. For
residential projects where multiple districts or multiple patterns within a district are part of the
same project, amenity space shall be calculated using a ratio of the number of units within each
district option to the total number of units on the net project acreage. This formula is used to
calculate the required amenity space for one district or pattern within a project.
a. Required amenity space for district/pattern = (# of units in a district or pattern/total number
of units) x minimum % of amenity space x project acreage.
b. Strategic amenity space for projects in TR, UR, AR, and MU districts = % of amenity space
that must be SAS x required amenity space for that district/pattern.
c. Strategic amenity space in SU and SC districts is based on total unit count within a project
and is not in proportion to the required amenity space.
2. Determining Amenity Space in the Corridor Commercial District. Projects within the
Commercial Corridor (CC) District may designate various land areas into the available patterns
within the district and shall calculate amenity space based on the amenity space requirements of
a chosen pattern.
3. Sample Calculation. A sample calculation is provided below for a project in the TR District on
21 acres (net) with 204 total units, distributed among the following district options.
a. Base (townhomes with street vehicular access). 17 dwelling units
i. (17/204) x 20% x 21 acres = 0.35 acres amenity space
ii. Strategic Amenity Space required: 30% x 0.35 acre = 0.11 acre SAS
b. Base (townhomes with alley vehicular access). 69 dwelling units
i. (69/204) x 10% x 21 acres = 0.71 acres amenity space
ii. Strategic Amenity Space required: 30% x 0.71 acre = 0.21 acre SAS
c. Option 1 (multifamily). 118 dwelling units.
i. Amenity Space required: (118/204) x 15% x 21 acres = 1.82 acre amenity space
ii. Strategic Amenity Space required: 50% x 1.82 acre = 0.91 acre SAS
4. In a project with multiple zoning districts or options, amenity space as calculated in G.1
above may be distributed across the entire project such that it is generally accessible to the
residents and/or users of the project.
5. A sample is provided in Table 19.2-34.3 to show how various qualifying amenity space categories
are calculated.
