will have a minimal impact on the anticipated traffic generated by development of the

which had a 2001 traffic count of 41,504 vehicles per day.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Huguenot Road as a major arterial with a recommended

LAND USE

Lies within the boundaries of the Huguenot/Robious/Midlothian Area Plan which suggests
the property and surrounding area am appropriate for regional mixed uses to include a mix of
integrated office parks, regional shopping centers, light induslrial parks and/or higher density
residential uses. The Plan indicates that such uses should be designed to be compatible with
adjaeem uses and provide transition to surrounding residential areas.

Area Develoomant Trends:
Adjacent properties are developed for commercial and office uses. It is anticipated that
office and limited commercial uses will continue to occur in the vicinity of the request site,
consistent with the recommendations of the Plan.
ZoninaHistorv:
On September 25, 1974, the Board of Supervisors denied a request to rezone the request
property and adjacent property to the northeast and southeast t}om Convenience Business (B-
I) to General Business (B~3). (Case 74S I 11)
On April 23, 1975, the Board of Supervisors rezoned the request property and adjacent
property to the north and east to Agricultural (A) with Conditional Use to permit a tire retail
store. (Case 74S 157)
On August 27, 1980, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation f~om the
Planning Commission, approved the rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Office Business (O)
of the request property. (Case 80S090)
Development Standards:
Currently, the property lies within an Emerging Growth District Area. The Zoning
Ordinance specifically addresses access, landscaping, setbacks, parking, signs, buffers,
utilities and screening for developments within these areas. The purpose of the Emerging
Growth District Standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects.
Architectural Treatment:
The subject property is located adjacent to the Huguenot Village Shopping Center. If this
property were developed as part of the shopping center, the Zoning Ordinance would require
that the architectural treatment be compatible with that of the shopping cenler. If, however, it
is developed as an independent site, the Ordinance would oaly require compliance with
Emerging Growth District architectural standards. Given that the site is located directly
adjacent to the shopping center and also given the "colonial" standards which have been
applied in the vicinity, a similar architectural requirement would be appropriate for the
request site, (Proffered Condition 3)
~ONCLUSIONS
The proposed zoning and use conforms to the ~enot/Robious/Midlothian Area Plan which
suggests the property and surrounding area are appropriate for a mix of integrated office parks,
regional shopping centers, light industrial parks and/or higher density residential uses.
