REQUEST ANALYSIS
AND
RECOMMENDATION
88SN0069
FFS Partnership
Midlothian Magisterial District
Western terminus of Castleford Drive
REQUEST: (Amended) Rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-25). A
single family residential subdivision is planned.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMEND APPROVAL, AND ACCEPTANCE OF PROFFERED CONDITIONS 1 AND 2.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of Residential (R-25) and acceptance of the proffered
conditions for the following reasons:
A. The zoning and land use requested conform to the Powhite/Route 288
Development Area Land Use and Transportation Plan.
B. The zoning and land use requested are comparable to, and compatible
with, surrounding development.
PROFFERED CONDITIONS
1. Average lot square footage: 40,000 square feet.
2. Minimum lot square footage: 30,000 square feet.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Location: Lying approximately 230 feet off the west-
ern terminus of Castleford Drive, also
lying approximately 220 feet off the north-
west line of Netherfield Drive, approxi-
mately 1,120 feet west of Winterfield Road.

Tax Map 6-12 (1) Parcel 2; Tax Map 7-1 (1)
Part of Parcel 3; and Tax Map 7-5 (1)
Parcel 4 (Sheets 1 and 2).
Existing Zoning: Agricultural (A)
Size:
227.0 acres
Existing Land Use: Vacant
Adjacent Zoning & Land Use r North - A; Vacant or single family
residential
South - A and R-25; Vacant or single family
residential
East - R-25 and R-15; Vacant and single
family residential
West - A; Vacant
Utilities: An 8 inch water main lies on the east side
of Netherfield Drive, approximately 300
feet east of the site. A 16 inch water
main lies on the north side of West
Salisbury Road, approximately 1,000 feet
southeast of the site. Permanent off-site
water easements will be necessary. Swift
Creek Reservoir is the source of water.
Use of public water is required by Ordi-
nance.
Both 10 and 12 inch trunk sewer lines
extend along an unnamed tributary of
Michaux Creek, which crosses the southern
portion of the site. The site lies in the
James River North sewer drainage basin and
is served by Falling Creek Treatment Plant.
The capacity of the line is sufficient for
the proposed development and use of public
sewer is feasible. Permanent off-site
sewer easements will be necessary. Public
sewer is available and should be used.
Environmental Engineering: The site drains to the James River via
Michaux Creek through Powhatan County. Due
to extremely steep terrain, accelerated
stream erosion is anticipated with develop-
ment. Off-site drainage easements may be
necessary. No homes should be built on
slopes greater than 12x. Lots will need
adequate erosion control planned prior to
issuance of building permits. At the time
of tentative subdivision review, staff will
consider recommending conditions to deal
with these potential problems.
Schools: Approximately 173 school age children will
be generated by this request. The site
lies in the Watkins Elementary School
attendance zone: capacity - 936, enroll-
ment - 1,001; Midlothian Middle School
attendance zone: capacity - 1,035, enroll-
ment - 1,326; and Midlothian High School
`~ 2 °~8SN0069/BSJUL8/AUG24R
t
attendance zone: capacity - 1,750, enroll-
ment - 1,970. Expansion is proposed for
Midlothian Middle School in 1990. No
expansion is planned for Watkins Elementary
School. A plan is being considered to
build a high school in this area. Addi-
tionally, developers have agreed to dedi-
cate a part of a high school site in the
Powhite/Route 288 area, to be constructed
in the future. Either of these would
pranride relief to Midlothian High School.
Fire Service: Midlothian Fire Station, Company 4~5. At
present, fire service capability is good.
County water and fire hydrants should be
provided in compliance with nationally
recognized standards.
General Plan
(Powhite/Route 288
Development Area Land
Use and Transportation
Plan)
Low density residential
(1.50 units/acre or less)
Transportation: This proposed development could generate
approximately 2,330 average daily trips. A
condition of zoning on the property south
of this request requires construction of a
north/south collector road from Midlothian
Turnpike (Route 60) north crossing Michaux
Creek. Primary access for this development
should be provided to Route 60 via this
north/south collector road. This north/-
south collector road should extend through
this development and be designed as a no
lot frontage road. The residential devel-
opment east of this request has received
tentative subdivision approval (Salisbury
west of 714). There are several stub roads
planned that could provide secondary access
for this development to Winterfield Road.
At the time of tentative subdivision re-
view, staff will make specific recommenda-
tions regarding providing stubs to adjacent
properties and insuring that the mayor
access for this development is via the
north/south collector road to Route 60.
Currently VDOT has underway an environ-
mental impact study (EIS) for Route 288
north of Powhite Parkway. One of VDOT's
candidate build alternatives is dust west
of this parcel and another of VDOT's
3 88SN0069/BSJUL8/AUG24K
alternatives is to the south. In order to
protect the residents which will occupy
these future homes in this development, at
the time of tentative subdivision review,
staff may require that a plan be developed
and approved which addresses noise abate-
ment. Implementation of this approved
noise abatement plan would be required in
conjunction with the development of this
project.
DISCL1SSTnN
The applicant is requesting rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential
(R-15). A single family residential subdivision is planned.
In evaluating this request, staff has considered the Powhite/Route 288
Development Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, as well as surrounding
development.
The Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Land Use and Transportation Plan
calls for low density residential (1.50 units/acre or less). Under the
proffered minimum average lot size of 40,000 square feet, the maximum
density would be approximately 1.02 units/acre. It is likely that, due
to topography and other restricting conditions, the actual density will
be lower. This request conforms to the designation of the Plan.
To the northeast lie the Castleford and Hatfield Sections of Salisbury.
These sections have an average density of 0.93 units/acre and an average
lot size of approximately 42,400 square feet. Lots range from approxi-
mately 27,700 square feet to 85,000 square feet. To the southeast lie
the Fountainhead, Leafield, Southwell, and West Kennet Sections of
Salisbury. These sections have an average density of 0.87 units/acre and
an average lot size of 46,900 square feet. The proposed residential
development with the proffered average and minimum lot sizes would be
comparable to, and compatible with, these sections of Salisbury.
Because the requested zoning and land use are comparable to, and compati-
ble with, the surrounding development and because they also conform to
the designation of the Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Land Use and
Transportation Plan, staff recommends approval of Residential (R-15) and
acceptance of the proffered conditions.
CASE HISTORY
Applicant (7/15/88):
The applicant amended his request for Residential (R-15) with proffered
conditions to a request for Residential (R-25) with proffered conditions.
The standards of R-25 are more restrictive than those of R-15.
4 ^~$SN0069/BSJUL8/AUG24K
Planning Commission Meeting (7/19/88):
Mr. Frank Cowan, the applicant's representative, was present. There was
no opposition present.
On motion of Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Perkins, the Commission resolved
to recommend approval of Case 88SN0069, and acceptance of the Proffered
Conditions 1 and 2.
AYES: Messrs. Miller, Warren, Kelly, Belcher, and Perkins.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, August 24, 1988, beginning at 2:00
p.m., will take under consideration this request.
