Eastern Midlothian Plan
The purpose of this plan is to recommend a series of positive steps to ensure the Eastern Midlothian area
remains a vital and viable community for many years to come. The two most important recommendations of
the plan are:
Develop a proactive business strategy creating the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance, working
to maximize private investment and enhance the tax base of the business corridor. The Alliance should
employ a high level development professional who focuses on business retention and recruitment.
Establish the Eastern Midlothian Community Initiative, a program devoted to building stronger
neighborhoods, encouraging residents and businesses to work together.

SEE ATTACHED BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT COMMENTS:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment relating to uses permitted in the C-5 District in the Eastern Midlothian
Tumpike Corridor
During the development of the proposed Eastern Midlothian Plan, concerns were expressed by area
business owners/operators and residents about the future of Eastern Midlothian Turnpike and how to
insure that the corridor continues to be a major economic force. One of the identified issues centered on
certain types of commercial uses that do not yet exist, but which could have a negative impact on the area
should the uses locate along the corridor. The concerns were not about existing businesses, rather, about
the possibility of certain types of new businesses which may have a detrimental impact on the corridor. The
uses identified as a concem generally coincided with uses now allowed in General Business (C-5) zoning.
Currently, most of the properties on the south line and some properties on the north line of the corridor are
zoned C-5.
Several meetings were held to gather input on these concerns. Following these meetings and meetings with
the Gateway Business Association, a proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment has been drained. This
proposal would allow certain uses with Conditional Use and prohibit other uses in the C-5 category, only
along the corridor see attached Ordinances. There are only a very few existing legal uses along the corridor
that actually require C-5 zoning and those uses have been identified as uses suitable for the corridor. The
attached chart outlines the concepts of the proposed amendment.
The goals of the proposed Ordinance Amendment are to:
· Protect and preserve existing businesses in the Eastern Midlothian planning area.
· Protect existing residential communities adjacent to the Eastern Midlothian business corridor.
· Attract new businesses compatible with existing area commercial and residential development.

Summary of Information: (Continued)
This Ordinance Amendment will:
Protect existing businesses and residential developments from new incompatible development.
Allow public input to insure that those businesses requiring a Conditional Use are operated in
a manner compatible with existing businesses and residential development in the area.
This Ordinance Amendment will not:
· Prevent any existing legal business from continuing their current use.
· Require any change to existing businesses or developments.
Prevent those uses permitted with Conditional Use from ever locating along the corridor.
Rather, it would require that these uses go through the Conditional Use process.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A strategically located gateway and principal business corridor, the Eastern Midlothian area is of critical
importance to Chesterfield County. Complex in character, offering opportunities to work, live and play, the
Eastern Midlothian area is a steady performer with room to grow. Established neighborhoods and businesses,
combined with vacant land ready for new development, provide the foundation for the Eastern Midlothian
area's continued strength in region.
Important Issues addressed in the Eastern Midlothian planning effort include:
· Recognizing the strategic regional location and importance of the Eastern Midlothain corridor to the
economy of Chesterfield County.
· Acknowledging the importance of close private/public cooperation in implementing this plan.
· Identifying business activities that will continue to be successful in a changing marketplace.
· Focusing on the potential for aesthetic enhancements and access improvements along the corridor.
· Recognizing that healthy neighborhoods are the foundation for a viable, strong community and critical to
the success of the Eastern Midlothian business corridor.
Key Findings include:
· Property Values: The Eastern Midlothian business corridor accounts for nine percent of Chesterfield
County's commercial property tax base. Total property tax assessments for the Eastern Midlothian
business corridor have decreased over 3.5 percent since 1990.
· Economic Trends: The future of the Eastern Midlothian area is more closely tied to private investment
and market forces than to the actions of government. Therefore, the rote that private citizens, businesses
and property owners play in this plan is absolutely critical to its success.
· Potential For Change: The corridor has great potential for increased development of employment center
uses, such as light industrial and offices, as well as a stable market for many retail uses.
· New Development: There is a sizable amount of vacant land in the area that could be used for new
development, both in the business corridor and in adjacent residential areas.
· County Initiatives: VVhile Chesterfield County regulations and other commitments should be used to
complement major private/public sector improvement efforts, the County should not be seen as the
principal provider of solutions to the challenges facing the Eastern Midlothian area.
· Community Concerns: Residents of the area have concerns regarding code enforcement, property
values, and the impact of the business district on their communities.
Major Recommendations of the plan:
· Provide a balance of land uses in the Eastem Midlothian area to promote healthy neighborhoods and
employment growth.
· Promote land use supportive of employment centers and retail businesses in the business corridor.
· Develop a proactive business strategy creating the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance, working to
maximize private investment and enhance the tax base of the business corridor. The Alliance should
employ a high level development professional who focuses on business retention and recruitment.
· Establish the Community II~,itiative, a program d~voted to building stronger neighborhoods, encouraging
residents and businesses to work together.
· Improve the aesthetic quality and design of the Eastern Midlothian corridor.
· Suggest zoning adjustments consistent with the proposed land use plan.
· Continue the County's successful community policing program in the Eastern Midlothian corridor.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
INTRODUCTION
With its central location, a transportation network offering excellent access, a well established business
corridor and stable neighborhoods providing a variety of housing choices, the Eastern Midlothian area is a nice
community in which to live, do business, work, and shop. The pursuit of these activities makes for a diverse
environment that enhances the fabric of life in Chesterfield County, while contributing significantly to the
County's tax base.
Because the Eastern Midlothian area is home to a variety of uses, including Cloverleaf Mall, Beaufont Mall,
many car dealerships, the headquarters of the State Police and the Virginian Retirement Center, it appears
to be mostly developed. However, a substantial amount of vacant land offers opportunities for future growth.
Challenges do exist. Much of the business development along the corridor has occurred in an erratic fashion.
In some instances, the Eastern Midlothian area's development pattern has resulted in incompatibility between
land uses. Many older and smaller businesses along the corridor find themselves competing with new market
forces in other parts of Chesterfield County. Also, few neighborhoods reap the benefits of having established
neighborhood organizations to open the lines of communication.
Everything considered, with effective planning and organization, the Eastern Midlothian area has the potential
to accomplish much for itself as a community and for the County as a whole. The purpose of this plan is to
recommend a series of positive steps to ensure that the Eastern Midlothian area remains a vital and viable
community for many years to come.
How This Plan Works
The Eastern Midlothian Plan should be used as a general guide for decisions, both public and private,
affecting the future of the Eastern Midlothian area. In Chesterfield County, plans for physical growth are
adopted by the Board of Supervisors and become part of The Plan For Chesterfield, the County's
comprehensive plan. Once recommended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the Board of
Supervisors, the Eastern Midlothian Plan will replace part of the original Northern Area Plan, approved in
1986, and part of the Turner Road Corridor Land Use and Transportation Plan, approved in 1984.
A Plan For Action
The following major components are found in the Eastern Midlothian Plan:
Existing Conditions and Critical Issues: This information forms the factual basis for the goals,
recommendations and implementation strategies found in the plan.
· Goals: These are general statements about what is desirable for the future - what the plan attempts to
accomplish.
· Recommendations:These are statements on ways to reach goals, and what general actions should be
taken to achieve them.
· The Land Use Plan: This plan will be used as a general guide for future land use decisions.
· Community Initiative: More detailed than recommendations, the Community Initiative contains specific
steps to carry out a strategy for the Eastern Midlothian community.
· Business Development Strategy: The Business Strategy provides a plan of action for future business
development in the Eastern Midlothian Business District.

THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS
The Importance of Citizen Participation
How can we make informed choices about our future, recognizing that the decisions we make now will affect
the kind of community we become in the years ahead? The mission of this plan is to position the Eastern
Midlothian Area to take advantage of opportunities for the future, overcome challenges, and act on, rather than
merely react to, the inevitable economic, social, and physical changes ahead. The plan proposes those
actions that will have the greatest positive impact on the future of the Eastern Midlothian Area. Offering a
means for making informed public choices, the plan will serve as a guide for officials making planning and
policy decisions.
Public Involvement
Recognizing the increased expectations and need for citizen involvement in the planning process, numerous
meetings involving both residents and business representatives were held in the Eastern Midlothian Area.
Over forty public meetings open to all citizens were sponsored by the Planning Department. The citizen
participation process provided an opportunity for Planning Department staff to listen to citizens talk about what
they love, as well as what concerns them most, about their community and its future. The process encouraged
citizens to discuss their basic values and viewpoints with staff and with each other.
The citizen participation process advanced the idea of the formation of a business group for the Eastern
Midlothian area. In the spring of 1996, a group of business people organized the Gateway Business
Association for the purpose of promoting and improving the vitality of the business environment for the area.
The following mission statement was adopted by the Gateway Business Association:
"The Gateway Business Association, dedicated to working in partnership with the community,
endeavors to preserve and enhance the quality of life for businesses and residents of the area. To
this end, Gateway Business Association will work to improve business opportunities for new and
existing businesses, develop and maintain a healthy business environment and will assist in attracting
desirable development to the area. The association will undertake activities to promote the area as
customer and employee friendly to help ensure the long-term economic vitality of the business
district."
The Eastern Midlothian Plan's successful implementation will be a joint effort by the community and the
County. Dedicated residents and business leaders will make the difference in the effort to maintain the quality
of life in the Eastern Midlothian area.

EXISTING CONDITIONS AND IMPORTANT ISSUES
The Chesterfield County Planning Department staff gathered extensive information about the Eastern
Midlothian area. This includes demographic statistics, data on environmental and other land features, and
design information. Further, important information was gathered from residents and business owners through
an inclusive citizen participation process. Key findings from this research include:
· Large amounts of vacant or underutilized land in the study area.
· Concerns about transportation issues along Midlothian Turnpike.
· 29% of the area's housing is apartments, compared to 12% for the rest of the County.
· A large, stable market area for the Eastern Midlothian area.
Demographic and Economic Change
The following information comes mainly from three sources: 1) the 1990 US Census, 2) more recent data
compiled by Chesterfield County Planning Department staff on population and housing, and 3) market analysis
data provided by a private consultant hired by the County (see Market Trends section). While 1990 Census
data is now almost eight years old, it is still the only source of detailed demographic information for sub-areas
of the County. The highlighted information below is further detailed in Table 1.
Population: The 1990 population of the study area was approximately 10,438. This represents about four
percent of the County's 1990 total population of 209,274. According to County data, there was only a 1.5
percent increase in the Eastern Midlothian area's population from 1990 to 1995, compared to a 12 percent
rate of growth for the whole County.
· Age Groups: The 1990 Census showed that the Eastern Midlothian area had a lower percentage (28
percent) of people under the age of twenty than the whole County (33 percent). However, the area had

a larger proportion (19 percent) of people aged 20-29 than the rest of the County (f4 percent).
· Income: The estimated 1990 median household income for the Eastern Midlothian area was $37,209,
compared to a County median of $43,604 in 1990.
· Home ownership: While 62 percent of the occupied housing units in the Eastern Midlothian area were

owner occupied according to the 1990 Census, 38 percent were renter occupied, compared to 21 percent
renter occupancy County-wide.
Tax Base: Total property assessments in the Eastern Midlothian corridor for 1995 were $203,535,500.
This represents nine percent of the County's total taxable commercial assessments, making the vitality
of the Eastern Midlothian corridor an important component of the County's tax base. This issue is of
special concern since the total assessments for the corridor have decreased over 3.5 percent since 1990.

Note: Boundaries for the Eastern Midlothian Study area are not exact. Numbers are estimates based on Census data.
Land Use
The Eastern Midlothian area is diverse, comprised of retail, office, a wide variety of housing options, and public
space such as schools (see map B). The Eastern Midlothian business corridor encompasses approximately
680 acres of land along two miles of Midlothian Turnpike, between two limited access highways, Powhite
Parkway and Chippenham Parkway (see map C). This vital commercial corridor contains Cloverleaf and
Beaufont Malls and the Gateway Centre office park, drawing from a market area with a radius of more than
eight miles. The remainder of the Eastern Midlothian study area totals approximately 1600 acres.
Land Availability: Although the business corridor appears to be fully developed, there is still a sizable
amount of vacant or underutilized acreage; approximately 180 acres, or 26 percent of all the area's land,

The Eastern Midlothian Plan
a mix of large and small parcels. In the whole study area there is about 800 acres of vacant land, or 35
percent of the total acreage, mostly in agriculturally zoned acreages.
Land Assembly: While there is significant land for development in the Eastern Midlothian area, much of
it is held in fragmented parcels with separate ownership. In order to develop these parcels to their highest
and best use, it may be necessary to assemble these for development by one owner or group.
Major Uses: Cloverleaf Mall, Beaufont Mall, and other shopping centers located on Midlothian Turnpike
impact the study area by bringing jobs, and shoppers.
Variety: The development of the Eastern Midlothian area over many years has resulted in a variety of
land uses, including rural, residential, commercial, office and public space. This variety creates
convenience for many who are able to work, shop and live in the area; but it also results in conflict
between land uses.
Conflicting Land Uses: Conflicting land uses occur where land uses of considerably different intensities
abut one another with little or no transition. Eastern Midlothian has several areas where residents and
business owners have expressed concern relating to nearby land uses.
Existing Zoning: Currently, the zoning of many parcels along Midlothian Turnpike allows very intense
uses, such as major automotive repair, truck terminals, or auction sales. Presently, most of these parcels
are not used for the greatest intensity permitted by the underlying zoning. However, under current
regulations, these parcels could be redeveloped for a more intensive use, which could exacerbate the
problems with conflicting land uses. In November, 1996, Planning Department staff, working with
businesses, property owners and citizens, started a review of possible changes to permitted uses allowed
in the C-5 zoning classification in the Eastern Midlothian Corridor.
Transportation
Within this study area, Midlothian Turnpike (Route 60) is a six to eight lane major arterial road. Midlothian
Turnpike connects two limited access facilities, Chippenham Parkway to the east and Powhite Parkway to the
west, playing an important role in carrying traffic through Chesterfield County and all parts of the region. Both
of these facilities are currently four lanes wide. Other major arterials and collectors which are a part of the
transportation network for this area include: Boulders Parkway, Turner Road, Providence Road, Buford Road,
Ruthers Road, Pocoshock Boufevard, Etkhardt Road and Tacony Drive.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Along this two mile corridor of Midlothian Turnpike, there are nine traffic signals at the following intersections:
Cloverleaf Mall/Beaufont Mall (2), Boulders Parkway, Turner Road, Ruthers Road, Buford Road, Providence
Road, Gateway Centre Parkway and Wadsworth Drive.
In order to improve its capacity, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Six Year Construction
Program includes the widening of Chippenham Parkway to eight lanes from the Powhite Parkway interchange
to the Route 60 interchange, and six lanes from the Route 60 interchange to the Route 1t301 interchange. The
cost of this improvement is estimated at approximately $34,000,000. This project is scheduled to begin
construction in 1997.
The following general information pertains to the Eastern Midlothian area relative to transportation:
Roadway Network: Regional access is provided via Powhite Parkway, Chippenham Parkway, and
Midlothian Turnpike. These roadways are supported by a limited network of other major arterials and
collectors.
· Access along Midlothian Turnpike: Previous development provided individual businesses with direct
access(es) to Midlothian Turnpike.
· Public Transportation: Bus service has been extended along Midlothian Tumpike to the eastern portion
of the corridor with stops at Cloverleaf Mall and Beaufont Mall.
· Pedestrian Access: The current lack of sidewalks and other factors has discouraged pedestrian travel
throughout the study area.
Traffic flow: The section of Midlothian Turnpike between Powhite Parkway and Chippenham Parkway
carries the highest volume of traffic of any roadway in the County (excluding freeways). It is currently
operating at capacity. The number of signalized intersections, curb cuts, and cross-overs, while facilitating
traffic movements into and out of adjoining land uses, limits the ability of the corridor to accommodate
through traffic.
Appearance and Aesthetics
An urban design inventory conducted by the County, along with comments from business people and citizens,
revealed many concerns about the appearance of the Midlothian Turnpike corridor. Because the corridor
mainly developed in the 1970s and early 1980s, most of the area was built under older, less stringent
regulations than are in place today. Currently, the corridor is designated a "post development area" by the
County Zoning Ordinance. Post development area regulations provide flexible design criteria in established
commercial areas. They promote renovation and improvement of commercial areas, improve compatibility with
adjacent residential uses, and maintain the long-term function and adequacy of the arterial road system.
Landscaping: Since many developments in the Eastern Midlothian area were built under older standards,
they have little landscaping. Unfortunately, much of the landscaping that exists is poor in quality,
compared to newer developments.
Signage: Many older commercial signs on Midlothian Turnpike are large in scale and numerous
compared to what is allowed under current standards. The large number of signs contributes to the visual
discord of the corridor. In addition, billboards on the corridor tend to dwarf buildings and landscaping. The
County adopted new sign regulations in 1994, but signs existing at that time are grandfathered and are
allowed to remain as long as they are maintained and substantially unchanged.
Obstructed Sightlines: The development pattern on Midlothian Turnpike has resulted in sightlines
obstructed by signs, electrical posts and lights.
E M 6 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Architectural Styles: Buildings on the Midlothian Turnpike corridor are a mix of architectural materials
and styles. Generally, these styles are incongruent and reduce the cohesiveness of the corridor.
En vironmen t
Environmental features in the Eastern Midlothian area influence the placement and scale of development.
· Significant Features: Steep slopes and erodible soils are concentrated in a few locations in the Eastern
Midlothian area.
Regulation: All development in the County is regulated under the Commonwealth of Virginia's
Chesapeake Bay Act, and must meet the act's environmental standards. Having only a few creeks and
streams, most of the Eastern Midlothian area is regulated under the act's less stringent Resource
Management Areas rules, or may be able to "opt out" of the Bay Act completely.
Development: Many developments in the County complement their surrounding environmental features.
The Boulders, a mixed use office and high density residential development just north of the study area,
is surrounded by very steep slopes and erodible soils. However, the superior design of the project, in
accord with nature, uses these environmental characteristics to add to its attractiveness and
marketability.
Community Facilities and Services
The following County public facilities are located in the Eastern Midlothian area: one fire station and rescue
squad; two schools; and park facilities. In addition, the Virginia State Police Headquarters is located on
Midlothian Turnpike. The study area has limited access to park and library facilities. Map D identifies these
existing public facilities located in the study area.
· Public Utilities: The study area is well served by public water and sewer, offering economic
development, as well as residential development opportunities for the area.
Law Enforcement: The crime rate and type in the study area are comparable to other areas throughout
the County. The primary criminal activities effecting the residents of this area are related to property type
crimes such as residential burglaries, larcenies from autos and auto theft. Many citizens have expressed
concern for personal safety and property security in the area.
This overall perception and continued community concern about crime led to the Police Department's
1996 initiation of a community policing program for the businesses located along the Eastern Midlothian
Business Corridor. A comparison of crime rates for the years 1995 and 1996 has shown a 20.5 percent
decrease in the crime rate in this area. This decrease is especially significant in light of the fact that the
County had a three percent increase in its overall crime rate for this same time period. The Police
Department has also started a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) program that
promotes safe and secure site design principles for development. The CPTED program is available to
citizens and businesses for information, education and design critiques to help establish a safe and
secure community.
Parks: There is only one park in the area, a sports facility associated with A.M. Davis Elementary School.
Libraries: LaPrade Library, the closest to the study area, is substantially over capacity and has one of
the fastest growing service areas in th<; County. This library will be replaced in the next few years by a
larger, new LaPrade Library that will be~ter serve the community.

Housing and Communities
There are a wide variety of housing opportunities available in the Eastern Midlothian area, including single
family homes, apartments, townhouses and mobile home parks (see Table 3).

Total 3115 100% 89700 100%
Source: Chesterfield County Planning Department, 1995
Multifamily Housing: As demonstrated by Chart 3, the Eastern Midlothian area has a larger percentage
of multi-family units than the County as a whole. This results from a higher percentage of both apartments
and townhouses than the rest of the County. Single family homes account for 57% of housing units in
Eastern Midlothian, compared to 82% County wide.
Age of Housing: According to the 1990 Census, the average date of home construction in Eastern
Midlothian is 1977. Many subdivisions in the area were built over 30 years ago, and were not required to
provide the same road and drainage improvements that are required today.
Property Maintenance: During the citizen participation process, many residents expressed concerns
about property maintenance and code violations, both in residential and commercial areas.
Housing Value: The median housing value in the Eastern Midlothian area was $73,089, according to the
1990 Census. This compares to a median housing value of $87,200 County wide. Further, some residents
expressed concerns during the planning process that their housing values were remaining the same or
declining, rather than increasing. However, others stated that the area offered more housing value for the
money.
For further analysis, the Eastern Midlothian area was divided into five communities as shown on Map E. Civic
organization information about the following communities was obtained from the County Office of Public
Affairs's Civic Organization list, and crime watch information was obtained from the Police Department's
Neighborhood Watch Program.
Turner Road West: This area is characterized by established, single family, stable neighborhoods, with
potential for development along portions of Pocoshock Boulevard and Turner Road. The community has
one civic organization and one neighborhood watch program.
· 'Turner Road East: Much of this area is comprised of individual "road-stripped" lots with some s,T..all
single family subdivisions at the southern end and a 210 unit apartment complex, with zoning approval
for up to 600 units. There are large tracts of vacant land within the community, where future development
may occur. There is one civic association and four neighborhood watches in the community.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Turner, Ruthers and Providence: This diverse community is chiefly comprised of subdivisions and road
stripped rural lots. However, the area also contains a townhouse development and a mobile home park.
A.M. Davis Elementary school,
Providence Midale, and the
associated sports complex are
located within this community. The
area has two civic organizations
and three neighborhood watches.
Scottingham and Whitestone:
Scottingham and Whitestone are
two connected, interrelated,
subdivisions. Residents have
expressed concern about potential
development of vacant land around
them, through traffic, and the
physical division of their
neighborhood, caused by the __
construction of Powhite Parkway.
The two subdivisions have a joint
civic association and neighborhood
watch.
Golden Corral is one of the many successful businesses in the Eastem
Midlothian Business District.
Midlothian North: The area of
Eastern Midlothian north of
Midlothian Turnpike has much less
residential development than south
of Midlothian Turnpike. However,
there are four subdivisions in the
community and a few road stripped
lots. There is also a retirement
community and an apartment
complex in the area. There are two
civic associations in this community
and one neighborhood watch.
As shown by the preceding information, The Virginian is a residential retirement community in the Midlothian
there are numerous civic associations in North Community.
the area, however, there is the
possibility for many more. Civic associations are an important part of any community; they foster a community
identity, and promote stability for the community.
Economic Market Conditions
Information concerning existing economic conditions for the residential, retail, industrial, office and
hotel/convention center markets can be found in "Analysis of the Potential for Activity in the Eastem Midlothian
Turnpike Study Area of Chesterfield County," a 1996 consultant study commissioned by Chesterfield County.
This study provides information about the demographic and economic characteristics of the Eastem Midlothian
market area, shopping and spending patterns of market area residents, estimates of demand for retail and
retail related services, as well as other pertinent economic data. Further information about economic
conditions in the business district was collected by staff. Key findi;~ls are as follows:
Stable Market Area: The market area for the Eastern Midlothian study area is large in terms of both
geography and households. It contains approximately 84,300 households with an average household
income of $54,225, and is clearly regional in scale. In 1995 the market supported 7.7 million square feet
EM9 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Mid/othian P/an
of retail and retail related services.
Housing Growth: Sufficient vacant land exists within the market area to accommodate future residential
development necessary to sustain the demand for retail and retail related services within the study area.
Tax Base Enhancement: Given Eastern Midlothian's proximity to Chippenham and Powhite Parkways
and the amount of vacant land near those interchanges, opportunities exist to diversify the tax base with
employment center uses such as light industrial uses and corporate offices. Moreover, future development
opportunity exists in the study area for multi-tenant industrial activity, commonly known as "flex space."
An ideal location for this use in the area is in close proximity to Chippenham Parkway.
Market Penetration Level: The market analysis revealed that 45 percent of households within the market
area come to Eastern Midlothian to make purchases, utilize services and conduct business.' Out of those
households, 30 percent come once a week or more. This reflects an effective market penetration level
of 15 to 20 percent, meaning that business in the Eastern Midlothian area should target those households
who come to the area, but come on an infrequent basis.
Market Transition: A transition within the market may diminish commercial/retail uses as the dominant
land use within the study area. While adjustments are made to the market by the private sector, there is
a period of time in which real estate values may become depressed and vacant space increases. This
market condition may afford an opportunity for building activity that creates a less desirable impression
in the commercial area. Space may be leased which yields a short term return, but seriously damages
the long term viability of the area. Many communities consider uses such as gold exchanges, pawn shops,
bail bonding, and check cashing stores to have a negative impact on other businesses. Responding to
community concern, in March, 1997 the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors adopted a Zoning
Ordinance amendment requiring that bondsmen, check cashing establishments, motor vehicle
consignment lots, occult sciences, indoor and outdoor flea markets, and pawnbrokers be located in a
General Business (C-5) District with a Conditional Use Permit. Any of these uses at that time located in
the County were rendered non-conforming by this ordinance.
Cloverleaf Mall: Constructed in 1972, with nearly 700,000 square feet of retail space offering a wide
variety of retail tenants, Cloverleaf Mall anchors the eastern portion of the business district. A shift in
demand for goods and services would be likely to impact retail space allocations in the area. Cloverleaf
Mall may be impacted by these changes or increased competition from outside of the study area.
Business Involvement: Through the planning process, planning staff worked with leaders from the
business community. These leaders have formed a business group, the Gateway Business Association,
for the purpose of promoting and improving the vitality of the business environment for the area.

II. Recommendations
The following recommendations are the specific actions required to carry out the Eastern Midlothian Plan.
These recommendations, combined with the land use plan and the targeted strategies that follow, will guide
the future of the Eastern Midlothian area. However, these recommendations are not enough alone; they
should be carried out by cooperation between businesses, residents, and government. A specific
implementation strategy follows at the end of this Plan that describes how and when each recommendation
could be implemented.
A. Land Use
1. Land Use Plan: Use the recommendations of the land use plan to guide future decisions regarding the
future use of land.
2. Prevent Land Use Encroachments: Do not allow residential development in non-residential areas
(areas designated for light industrial, regional mixed use, or office land uses) and vice versa.
Residential/Agricultural amendment: Through the pending Residential/Agricultural Ordinance
amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance, establish a new residential category that would allow
residential uses on large acreage but not allow typical agricultural operations such as stock farms. Initiate
a County-wide rezoning to convert existing Agricultural (A) zoned parcels located in the more urbanized
parts of the County to this new category.
4. Zoning Options: Support proposed Zoning Ordinance changes for uses permitted by right in the C-5
zoning classification along the Eastern Midlothian corridor.
Urban Design: Work with the Gateway Business Association, the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance,
the Virginia Department of Transportation, businesses, property owners and citizens to develop design
oriented solutions to:
a. Create a positive identity through public and private landscaping improvements.
b. Reduce the number of signs on Midlothian Turnpike.
c. Create a positive first impression at the entrance to the Eastern Midlothian business district from
the east and west.
d. Improve the perception of safety and security.
e. Reduce the amount of parking exposed to the roadway.
f. Improve vehicle and pedestrian circulation between sites and along Midlothian Turnpike.
B. Economic Growth and Business Development
1. Business Strategy: Follow the recommendations of the Eastern Midlothian Corridor Business
Development Strategy (starting on EM 19).
C. Public Facilities and Transportation
Capital Improvement Program: Continue to use the County's Public Facilities Plan as the primary guide
for initiating future public facility projects in the County's Capital Improvement Program.
Thoroughfare Plan: Continue to use the County's Thoroughfare Plan as the guide for recommendations
on development proposals.
Access to Major Arterials and Collectors: Access to major arterials and collectors should be
controlled. To control the number of access locations, accesses may need to be shared with adjacent
properties. As new development and redevelopment occurs, adequate access separation and mitigating
EM12 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
road improvements (to include turn lanes and pavement widening) should be provided.
Pedestrian Access: Develop a network of sidewalks and other paths, where appropriate, that provide
convenient pedestrian travel between tand uses.
Additional Access Off Of Chippenham Parkway: As the area in the south west quadrant of the
Chippenham Parkway/Route 60 interchange develops/redevelops, consideration should be given to direct
access to Chippenham Parkway.
Environment. The policies currently in place are sufficient to achieve the goals of this Plan.
Housing and Neighborhood Recommendations
Committee on the Future: Carry out the neighborhood preservation strategies contained in the
Chesterfield County Committee On The Future's 1995 report, Neighborhood Preservation in Chesterfield
County. These strategies include such initiatives as establishing working partnerships among
neighborhoods and government, strengthening neighborhood schools, promoting neighborhood safety,
and improving public facilities in neighborhoods.
Community Initiative: Implement the recommendations of the Community Initiative for the Eastern
Midlothian area (see following section).
III. The Land Use Plan
The Land Use Plan for the Eastern Midlothian area is a guide for future changes. It strives to:
· Promote a balance between the needs for residential and employment growth.
· Provide for the ongoing economic vitality of the area and the County by identifying areas for future
employment center and business uses.
· Protect residential development from encroachment by non-residential land uses and vice versa.
· Maximize public facilities investments by encouraging commercial/industrial development and
expansion where appropriate.
· Provide flexibility for a variety of land uses.
The Land Use Plan (shown on Map G) shows the recommended future development pattern for the Eastern
Midlothian area. It provides for a mix of uses in the future, in accordance with demand forecasts provided by
the County sponsored market analysis for the area, Analysis of the Potential for Activity in the Eastern
Midlothian Turnpike StudyArea of Chesterfield County. This map will be useful as a guide for future land use
decisions. Land use categories for the Plan are presented in Chart 3.
EM13 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Cha~ 3
LAND USE CATEGORIES
The plan recommends the following land use categories as illustrated on Map G.
· Neighborhood Convenience: (Not shown on Land Use Plan) Neighborhood oriented uses (C-1 and O-1
Districts) such as limited retail, personal services, and offices. Limited retail, personal service, and office
centers should be provided within planned residential areas to attract customers from immediate
neighborhoods only. Preferably, they should be planned in conjunction with new residential projects.
These centers should be sited on one corner of an intersection of two collector streets or where a collector
intersects with an arterial road.
· Residential: 2.51-4 units/acre. 7.01-14 units/acre.
Office: Professional, business, governmental, industrial and administrative offices (O-2 Districts).
· Community Mixed Use: Community-scale development (C-3 District) including shopping centers, other
commercial, and office uses, not to include residential development. (See General Notes B and C)
· Regional Mixed Use: (C-4 District) A mixture of integrated office, shopping center, and light industrial
parks. Where appropriate, this area could include community scale mixed uses such as shopping centers,
other commercial uses, or offices, not to include residential development. Regional Mixed Use areas
should be designed to be compatible with surrounding residential areas. Offices, churches, or other similar
uses should be located between more intense commercial or light industrial uses and surrounding
residential areas to insure effective land use transitions. Uses should be planned and designed to
accommodate pedestrian access. (See General Notes B and C)
· Light Industrial: Limited industrial uses (I-1 district uses and some Iow intensity I-2 District uses) such
as offices and light manufacturing dependent upon raw materials first processed elsewhere. Limited retail
and service uses that are accessory to industrial uses are also appropriate when part of an integrated
industrial development.
Note 1: If these residential parcels are aggregated, higher density residential, office, or other transitional uses
may be appropriate.
Note 2: If these light industrial parcels are aggregated with the community mixed use parcels to the north
(adjacent to Midlothian Turnpike) to give greater depth to the northern parcels, and the development of the
~arcels is oriented north towards Midlothian Turnpike, then these parcels may be appropriate for community
mixed uses.
Note 3: The area fronting on Midlothian Turnpike, south of the Gateway Centre project, is shown on the land
use plan for light industrial uses. The Plan supports commercial uses if they are integrated and supporting to
the adjacent project development, and if they are designed to enhance the appearance of the overall
development.
Note 4: Under certain circumstances, office/warehouse uses may be appropriate provided such uses are
designed to be perceived as office use and in a manner which could include a requirement to orient loading
areas away from residential uses.
General Note:
A. In some cases, future land use classifications are appropriate if parcels are part of a larger scale
development plan that provided for an aggregation of parcels, thereby allowing sufficient land to
provide appropriate buffers and land use transitions.
B. Within the Community Mixed Use and Regional Mixed Use areas, other more intense uses may be
appropriate following an evaluation of the specific site and its location with respect to surrounding
uses, special design criteria and other operational conditions, so as to insure that the use will not
adversely impact existing and anticipated a;.ga development.
C. Should it later be determined under any circ,.'.; nstances that residential uses may be appropriate within
the Community Mixed Use and Regional Mixed Use areas, then these residential uses should be of
high quality and upscale design, subsidiary to and integrated within office, commercial or light
industrial projects.

The Eastern Midlothian Plan
THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE
A. Background
The Community Initiative is a series of strategies devoted to building community. It establishes a foundation
for residents and business persons to identify their needs and priorities. Chesterfield County, community
agencies and others can work together to implement the actions that must occur if visions are to become
reality. The Community Initiative is an opportunity to produce real and needed change that is based upon the
wisdom of the people who know their community best.
The Community Initiative endorses the concept of neighborhood wellness, which is defined as a state of
livability in neighborhoods where housing is decent and safe; private yards and public spaces are well
maintained; business is an integral part of the community; crime is Iow; public facilities are in good condition,
and both residents and business owners/operators are active in neighborhood affairs. It also refers to an
environment supportive of investments, both private and public, and one in which property values are
protected and neighborhood character is preserved.
The Community Initiative is committed to maintaining healthy neighborhoods. Its main goals are to:
· Create a sense of community,
· Build neighborhood self-sufficiency,
· Ensure the delivery of County services in a coordinated and focused manner,
· Encourage further cooperation between residents, businesses and the County.
B. Goals and Objectives
Goals and objectives, developed from a list of community issues and priorities identified by residents and
businesses at community meetings, serve as building blocks in addressing community issues and priorities.
1. Community Identity: Promote the identity of the Eastern Midlothian Community.
Identity: Develop a community identity that creates a sense of place and belonging for residents and
businesses and unifies the various interests in the neighborhoods into cooperative forces for mutual
satisfaction.
Property Maintenance: Preserve the Eastern Midlothian Area Community's housing and businesses.
Correct property maintenance problems where needed and sustain otherwise healthy conditions.
a. Preservation: Promote housing and business preservation efforts where appropriate.
b. Maintenance: Identify areas for systematic nuisance abatement, property maintenance, and code
enforcement.
3. Community Beautification: Enhance beautification activities in the Eastern Midlothian Area Community.
a. Public/Private Activities: Expand public and private activities to beautify the area.
4. Public Safety: Make neighborhoods, shopping areas, offices and other places of business safer through
active resident and business involvement in crime prevention and elimination.
5. Traffic Safety: Improve traffic safety in the Eastern Midlothian Area.
a. Network: Provide a safe and efficient transportation network for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
EM15 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Neighborhood Schools: Emphasize the importance of the Eastern Midlothian neighborhood schools as
a focal point in the attraction and retention of families in the community.
Cooperation: Encourage further cooperation between neighborhood schools, the school system,
County departments, neighborhoods, and businesses to support and promote the Community
Initiative.
C. Recommended Actions
The following strategies provide specific courses of action which detail how the aforementioned goals and
objectives will be achieved. The residents and businesses of the Eastern Midlothian community have an
important role to play in the wellness of the community, both today and in the future. They should take an
active role in enhancing the Eastern Midlothian Area community. Understanding the County has limited
resources, the successful implementation of this initiative ultimately depends on the commitment that residents
and business people bring to making and keeping their community a good place to live and do business.
1. Community Identity
a. Neighborhood Organizations: Encourage the formation of neighborhood organizations where none
exist. Include residents, property owners, and businesses.
b. Resident Renters: Encourage apartment dwellers, residents who rent their homes and owners of
rental property to become more involved in the community process.
c. Community Events: Neighborhood organizations should support a variety of community events and
activities.
d. Real Estate/Development Community: Educate the real estate/development community through
seminars highlighting opportunities for investments.
Improvements to Public and Private Spaces: Encourage neighborhood organizations, resident
and business efforts to make physical improvements in private and public spaces that help create a
sense of place in the community.
2. Property Maintenance Program
Community Standards: Combine public information efforts with proactive code enforcement to make
residents and businesses aware of specific problems which do not meet community maintenance
standards, and encourage maintenance to those standards. Encourage residents and property
owners to undertake self-inspection of property according to guidelines developed by the County.
Improvement: Encourage home improvement and maintenance activities throughout the Eastern
Midlothian Area Community. Develop a self-inspection property maintenance checklist for distribution
and use by residents as a means of encouraging self-help clean-up activities.
3. Community Beautification
Public Facilities: Maintain a high level of property maintenance for the Eastern Midlothian Area
schools, rescue squad, and fire department, and encourage residents and businesses to help keep
these ,~acilities clean.
b. Tree and Flower Planting: Encourage and support resident and business self-help activities to
beautify public and private properties through tree and flower planting activities.
4. Public Safety: Support and expand residential and business community crime prevention and community
EM16 1121/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
policing programs, initiatives and activities in the Eastern Midlothian area.
Neighborhoods: Enhance existing citizen participation in current Neighborhood Watch and other
crime prevention programs. Empower residents to address crime problems, issues and concerns
within their individual communities. Enhance police and resident cooperation, support and problem
solving abilities. Evaluate individual communities for their need and potential for community policing
programs.
Business Community: Support and enhance the existing community policing program for the
businesses along the Eastern Midlothian corridor. Continue support and participation in established
business organizations addressing issues that confront the Eastern Midiothian corridor area. Establish
a community policing office at Cloverleaf Mall to serve the residents, businesses and users of the
area.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Principles: Apply CPTED principles
through the proper design and effective use of the built environment, leading to a reduction in the fear
and incidence of crime. The following CPTED principles could be applied in the Eastern Midlothian
corridor:
1) Natural surveillance opportunities.
a) Maximizing visibility onto and from the site.
b) Providing opportunities for people and activities that maximize surveillance opportunities.
2) Natural access control opportunities.
a) Limiting and controlling citizen's use of a site. This includes access onto and from the site,
as well as between certain areas of the site.
b) Identifljing specific activity areas within the site.
3) Territorial reinforcement opportunities.
a) Delineation of ownership on the site.
b) Definition of use on the site.
5. Traffic Safety
a. Traffic Safety: Residents and businesses should be encouraged to promptly report traffic safety
problems, and speeding checkpoints should be rotated to discourage speeding where appropriate.
6. Community Schools
a. Training School Staff: Include community involvement training as part of the school staff
development.
b. Adopt a School: Expand the "Adopt-a-School" programs and other in-kind programs.
c. Provide Information: Circulate information to the community about neighborhood schools.
d. Funding: Ensure that the Community Initiative schools receive the necessary funding and resources
to make and keep them competitive with newer County schools.
County Organization
Team Approach: Teamwork and County Departmental cooperation is imperative to the success of
the Eastern Midlothian Area Community Initiative.
1) Code Compliance: Self Inspection Approach: A cross departmental team of County departments
EM17 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
responsible for code enforcement should undertake a proactive code enforcement program
including education and the development of a self-inspection approach.
b. Planning Department: The Planning Department should do the following activities in support of the
Eastern Midlothian Community Initiative.
1) Coordination: Provide coordination and evaluation of the Community Initiative by adding the
effort to the Planning Department's Work Program.
2) Neighborhood Associations: Assist the neighborhoods of the Eastern Midlothian Area
Community Initiative in their desire to organize neighborhood associations.
EM18 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
THE EASTERN MIDLOTHIAN CORRIDOR
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
A. Background
Historically, the Eastern Midlothian Turnpike corridor has functioned as a multi-use area offering the
opportunity to do business, shop and be entertained. This business development strategy is a tool to help
maintain this course. Because no single initiative can successfully operate in a vacuum, all activities focusing
on economic activity in the Eastern Midlothian corridor should fit into an overall strategy, based on existing
private and public sector support. The strategy should incorporate many available resources into its
implementation. Because of the huge private sector investment made along the Eastern Midlothian corridor,
area businesses and property owners should take the lead in implementing this strategy.
Economic growth is essential to the vitality of every community, influencing decisions citizens, business and
property owners make about where to invest. Presently serving a large regional market composed of much
of Chesterfield County and Richmond, the area encompassed by this business strategy offers great
opportunity for future business development, expansion and diversification. While retailing will continue to be
a primary land use, the opportunity exists for additional office and light industrial/flex space activity in the area,
taking advantage of an established transportation network.
B. The Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance
The future of the Eastern Midlothian area is more closely tied to private investment and market forces than
to the actions of government. Therefore, the role that private citizens, businesses and property owners play
in this business development strategy is absolutely critical to its success.
Implementation of this strategy will require great organizational and managerial capacities. Clearly,
Chesterfield County needs to call on the vigorous leadership, professional and managerial talent, and
investment assistance of the private sector. The first steps have already been taken by the formation of the
Gateway Business Association. Now, a more comprehensive structure of intergovernmental and private
business and civic leaders is required. It is recommended that a representative group of civic leaders and
business people work closely to form the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance.
1. Business Alliance Objectives
The Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance is one that requires staying power; immediate successes are
not as important as sustained accomplishments of long term objectives. More specific implementation of
the strategy will be subject to continuous modifications of projects and budgets. However, strong and
consistently supported community objectives for the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance will be an
important test of the credibility of public and civic commitment. Based on the evaluation of present market
prospects and physical development opportunities, the following are basic objectives to guide the alliance.
a. Maximize Private Investment: Attract maximum feasible new private investment in offices, flex
space/light industrial, retail, and other commercial facilities and businesses. Success in achieving this
can be measured in:
1) New development investments and jobs created. '
2) Existing businesses retained, expanded or improved.
4) New businesses formed or located.
5) Increased profits for existing property owners and businesses.
6) Increased property assessments.
EM19 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
Avoid Deterioration Through Productive Use of Land and Buildings: Use a suitable mix of
building preservation, rehabilitation with adaptive re-uses, and redevelopment to gain the most
effective use of land and building resources consistent with available market demand and supportable
public improvements. Vacant and under-used land, often held in fragmented ownership, has an
economic blighting effect and serves neither public nor private purposes. Such under-use or disuse
of land should be discouraged by various actions, including acquisition for immediate redevelopment,
land-pooling, and/or interim use until markets support the ultimate re-use potential. Success in
achieving this goal can be measured in terms of:
1) Property transactions for early improvement purposes.
2) Elimination and/or re-use of disused or vacant premises.
3) Level of rehabilitation completions.
4) Numbers of obsolete and deteriorated structures cleared.
Promote Strategic Public Investment: Work with the County through promoting limited public
projects leveraged with private investment. A varied range of public funding sources should be used
to provide public improvements and other incentives to attract private investment. Focus public funds
to key projects which cannot be accomplished solely with private financing. Success in achieving this
goal will be measured by the County's ability to expand, rather than reduce, the quality of county
services without increasing tax rates.
2. Fundamental Principles of The Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance
Some of the fundamental principles and assumptions underlying the creation of this alliance structure are
as follows:
Business Commitment: The interest of business leaders and developers to prevent a deterioration
of Eastern Midlothian must be followed with broad-based private sector commitments of time, dollars
and political support. This must be the primary engine driving this initiative.
Organization: There must be one key, permanent and professionally staffed development
organization exclusively devoted to execution of this strategy to deal in a unified manner with major
proiect developers, private investors and civic participants. Business has a great stake in the future
of the corridor, and this organization should be primarily privately funded and operated in order to give
it maximum flexibility to carry out its mission. Privately funded organizations have more financial
options, have fewer hiring constraints, and can react quicker to market driven changes than
government, because of government's greater public responsibilities.
County Support: Chesterfield County staffwill need to work closely with the Business Alliance, and
must be dedicated to using all of the tools at their disposal to improve the Eastern Mid[othian area.
The County should play a key development role by using its legal, administrative, and financial
capacities to help strengthen the Eastern Midlothian corridor.
Coordination With The Gateway Business Association: The objectives of the Eastern Midlothian
Business Alliance should complement and be closely coordinated with those of the Gateway Business
Association. As the Business Alliance takes on the broad strategic role of promoting business
development and investment, the Gateway Business Association can continue to focus on specific
marketing and improvement strategies.
3. Business Alliance Structure
Business Professional: Key to the realization of the Alliances's coordination capacity will be the
employment of a successful high level development professional. The alliance should handle the
following functions:
EM20 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
1) Project planning and feasibility analysis
2) Project investment packaging
3) Project management
4) Land assembly and clearance
5) Land disposition, developer agreements, and developer assistance
6) Coordination and expediting of public actions in support of private development
7) Financial management and investor services
8) Identify new and additional approaches
County Role: The Eastern Midlothian Alliance will draw on substantial professional staff leadership
and technical personnel available from departments of County Government. County staff would be
pooled for the purposes of providing, where appropriate, advice and/or assistance in the following
areas:
1) County representation in developer negotiations
2) Public land acquisition
3) Documentation of blight and preparation of formal redevelopment plans
4) Grant applications and administration
5) Review of planning and development recommendations and funding sources
6) Zoning administration
7) Capital budget/program planning
C. Other Recommended Business Strategy Actions
A number of important actions will be necessary following the adoption of the Eastern Midlothian Plan,
requiring close cooperation between Chesterfield County, the Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance and the
Gateway Business Association. This Business Development Strategy must be translated into specific
management provisions and fiscal program commitments, and provide a carefully documented legal basis for
applying County powers of preservation and redevelopment.
The following action steps offer a generalized way of defining County policies and priorities to help
private initiatives while avoiding preconceived or restrictively detailed plans that could inhibit
spontaneous private plans. Each category of action combines a coordinated range of different types of
tools, powers, and resources that could be made available.
1. Action Steps
Action steps describe a series of specific initiatives that the County and the Eastern Midlothian Business
Alliance can use to implement the overall strategy. In general, each action step outlines the proposed tool
and identifies who is responsible for specific decisions and expenses.
Land Assembly Tools: Development projects and public improvements generally require parcels
of land that are larger than those currently held by one individual or group of individuals. The Eastern
Midlothian Business Alliance or other private entities should act in a coordinated manner to bring
scattered parcels under one ownership or control. Public-private land assembly may take various
forms, including:
1) Land Pooling: A number of private property owners joir~tly offer their property for sale or for
investment in a project venture.
2) Land Banking: Organizations purchase options or purchase properties for later resale for
development of an assembled parcel;
3) Private Land Assembly: Conducted by individuals or organizations through cash purchase,
EM21 1/21/98
THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian P/an
trade, purchase of options on privately or publicly owned land.
b. Zoning Tools: Use the rezoning process to support revitalization.
1) Rezoning: The County Board of Supervisors should initiate commercial rezonings for property
that complies with the Eastern Midlothian Plan, in order to stimulate appropriate development.
2)
Flexible Zoning: Grant zoning variances, conditional uses, and special exceptions to the Zoning
Ordinance where necessary to allow innovative uses or development, but not lower quality
development standards.
Co
Selective Clearance of Blighted Buildings: Where building vacancies have created a blighting
influence on adjacent properties, the Alliance and the County should work together to remove them.
Further, where existing buildings have prevented the redevelopment of parcels because of the cost
associated with removal or redevelopment of existing structures, the Alliance should work to have
them removed in order to redevelop the property.
d. Design: The Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance and Gateway Business Association should work
to address design issues in the Eastern Midlothian Corridor.
Project Development Incentives: Large-scale development hinges on attracting major private
investments to desired sites. Possible incentives are covered elsewhere under land assembly, zoning,
and capital improvements. Focus public funds to key projects which cannot be accomplished solely
with private financing. For such actions to be successful, they witl need to be brought together through
a) comprehensive public incentive planning; b) direct matching of private investment with public
commitments; c) funding support for preliminary planning and pre-feasibility studies; d) developer
designation for key projects; and e) formation of project-specific partnerships.
Capital Improvements: Targeted public capital improvements can lead and direct private
investments. The Eastern Midlothian Alliance should work, where possible, to effectively leverage
County capital improvements, focusing on: streetscape, roads, utility and drainage improvements
which improve the competitiveness of Eastern Midlothian sites and reduce developer costs.
Explore New State Enterprise Zone Options: Recently adopted state legislation concerning local
enterprise zone taxation programs could provide additional development tools for the Eastern
Midlothian Turnpike corridor.
2. Action Areas
Action areas highlight geographic areas
appropriate for different action steps.
These action areas involve and address
the different sets of conditions found
within the Eastern Midlothian area and
provide support for achieving Strategy
objectives, including the following:
· Major multi-use redevelopment
· Mixed use infill and rehabilitation
· Business arid commercial
consolidation
· Commercial district consolidation
Southern Autotronics is an excellent example of an adaptive reuse. The building
Map H illustrates the boundaries of each was originally a bank, and the current business owner converted the building for

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD
The Eastern Midlothian Plan
are appropriate in several non-contiguous areas, while others are appropriate in only one section. A summary
rationale for each designation follows.
Major Multi-use Development: Encourage large-scale retail, office, and industrial flex space projects
in these areas. Other rehabilitation and re-use projects may be included if they do not limit larger-scale
development options. Public incentives may be major and include direct assistance in private ventures,
rezonings, landscaping, read and utility improvements and limited publicly assisted land acquisition for
major projects.
Mixed-Use Infill: Combine rehabilitation and re-use of existing quality buildings with selective demolition
and redevelopment of vacant.or underutilized properties. Design standards and effective design review
procedures can assist greatly in attaining the desired small-scale/mixed use character of development
in this area. Supportive actions include pedestrian walk ways and landscaping treatments.
Business/Commercial Consolidation: Encourage the retention and upgrading of existing businesses,
selective clearance of vacant or underutilized structures, and inflll with compatible new development.
Public/private sector incentives may include landscaping treatments and small scale improvements to
existing buildings.
Flexible Redevelopment: Attract new high quality uses by emphasizing adaptive reuse of existing
buildings, landscaping, clearage, land assembly and facade rehabilitation. Emphasize provision of
landscaping.
D. Implementation
These are the steps that will take this strategy from an idea on paper to a reality.
1. The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors adopts Eastern Midlothian Plan and related ordinance
amendments.
2. The Eastern Midlothian Business Alliance structure is formed, funded, and staffed.
3. New initiatives are developed by the Gateway Business Association.
In the next decade, market and private investment trends in the Eastern Midlothian area will require an
accumulation of private initiatives from every quarter, not only from developers, but from many of the
following sectors:
a. Individual property owners who decide to invest, sell, or lease properties;
b. Lending institutions;
c. Small and medium businesses thinking of an Eastern Midlothian location and seeking space in an
existing, rehabilitated, or newly built structure;
d. Major companies seeking to procure new buildings;
e. Others considering expansion options in the Eastern Midlothian area;
f. Investors considering new and unique ventures;
g. Existing or new neighborhood associations undertaking self-help initiatives in the residential areas.

County_ Administrator's Comments:
County Adminls[ra[or: ~--~x
Board Action Requested: The Board is requested to appropriate $350,000 in
anticipated VDOT reimbursements for the Centre Street design and
right-of-way road project.
Summary ofinformation: When the Board approved the Secondary Six Year Road
Improvement Plan in October 1997, staff was authorized to proceed
with design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of the projects in
the plan. VDOT has agreed to allow the County to assume the design and
right-of-way acquisition, at VDOT cost, for the Centre Street Road Project.
If the County assumes the responsibility for the project, a VDOT/County
design/right-of-way agreement, similar to those the County has executed in
the past, will be necessary. Under the terms of the agreement, the County
will perform the various activities and be reimbursed by VDOT.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board appropriate $350,000 in
anticipated VDOT reimbursements for the design and right-of-way
acquisition of the Centre Street Road Project.

Authorization to Exercise Eminent Domain for the Acquisition of
Sewer Easements and Temporary Construction Easements for the
Meadowville Trunk Sewer and Pumping Station
County_ Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
Board Action Requested: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors
authorize the County Attorney to proceed with eminent domain and exercise
immediate right of entry pursuant to Sections 15.2-1904 and 1905 of the
Code of Virqinia, and that the County Administrator be instructed to notify
the owner by certified mail on February 12, 1998, of the County's intention
to take possession of the easement.
Summary of Information:
On October 23, 1997, an offer of $1,832.97 was made by the Right of Way
Office to Lucy C. Rightmeyer, Edward C. Roberts, and Nationsbank, N.A.,
(Co.-Trustees under the Will of G. Dallas Coons) for the purchase of the
easements. The trustees have made a counteroffer in the amount of
$24,900.00. Since staff feels that the counteroffer is excessive, and
since the contracts for the projects were awarded on December 10, 1997, it
is necessary to proceed with eminent domain immediately for the health and
safety of the public. Staff will continue to negotiate with the trustee
in an effort to reach a settlement.

of Infl
The attached resolution states that the Board of Supervisors does not

D FI'
Whereas, the S JR 261 Study Committee made recommendations 'regarding the provision
of public transportation service in the Richmond regiOn;, and
Whereas, a critical element of the Committee's'recommendations was that the
Commonwealth of Virginia should recognize the importance of developing a regional mass
transit system in the capital of the Commonwealth by providing State general funds each fiscal
year for the system's operating and capital requirements so that no expenditures would be
required from local governments to provide this service'; and
Whereas, the budget amendment sponsored by Senators Marsh, Watkins, and Lambert
does not include language that assures that the commonwealth will continue to provide the
necessary funding for the service and that local governments will not. be mandated to absorb the
costs of the system in the future; and
Whereas, the budget amendment sponsored by Delegate Hall does not include the
language recommended by the S JR 261 Committee but instead recommends a diversion of
federal funding from other transportation sources in order to implement the service and takes
funding from current critical projects; and
Whereas, the fiscal impacts of providing the service can not be absorbed by local
governments without major impacts on the provision of higher priority services such as schools,
emergency services, public safety and highways.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Chesterfield Cotmty Board of Supervisors does
not support budget amendments to establish a regional mass transportation system which do not
incorporate the recommendations of the S JR 261 Committee that provide for State funding of
mass transit services and requires no financial resources from local governments.

Public Hearing to Consider AshtOn Creek Business Center Request
for Industrial Access Funding
County Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
Board Action Requested: A public hearing is scheduled to consider the
appropriation of $1,085,000, the transfer of $5,000, and the adoption of
the attached resolution asking the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) to approve industrial access funds for the construction of a new
access road off of Ruffin Mill Road to serve the Ashton Creek Business
Center.
Summary of information:
BACKGROUND: Emerson.ConStruction Group, Inc.(ECG) has advised the County of
its intention to construct a new industrial park off of Ruffin Mill Road
(see Attachment A) . ECG has asked the County to seek VDOT industrial access
funds so that an access road can be constructed to the park.
Under the VDOT Industrial Access program, the County can receive up to
$300,000 in unmatched VDOT funds (10% of the qualifying capital investment
up to $3,000,000) for the construction of industrial access roads. The
County may request up to $150,000 in supplemental funds (5% of the
capital investment above $3,000,000) provided the funds are matched

Summary of Information: (Continued)
on a dollar-for-dollar basis from other than VDOT funds. Before VDOT will
authorize the industrial access funds, the qualifying capital investment
must be under construction or the County must provide VDOT a surety bond
guaranteeing that the investment will occur within three years of the
Commonwealth Transportation Board's allocation of the industrial access
funds. VDOT funds can only be used for engineering and access road
construction. Right-of-way acquisition and utility adjustments must be
financed from other than industrial access funds.
The County usually requests industrial park developers to prepare
construction plans and environmental studies, donate right-of-way, and
provide surety bonds for new industrial access roads. The County or
developer pay the cost for utility adjustments and provide the matching
funds. Either VDOT or the County will construct the road depending on the
specifics of each request.
The preliminary cost estimate for constructing the Ashton Creek Business
Center access road is $635,000. ECG has indicated it expects to develop
sufficient qualifying capital investment within three years to justify the
maximum VDOT industrial access fund allocation. ECG has also agreed to
provide $185,000 for matching funds and a $450,000 surety guaranteeing the
capital investment will be made within VDOT's three year time limit. ECG
has agreed to prepare the road construction plans, dedicate the right-of-
way necessary for the access road, and be responsible for all utility
adjustments and the wetland mitigation for the project.

$129,334 in excess state sales tax was received in FY1997. These funds
can be made available for non-recurring expenses in FY1998 upon

general fund transfer and the excess State sales tax are outlined on

Bud.qet and Manaqement Comments:
The School Board is requesting that the Board of Supervisors hold a
public hearing to appropriate $2,039,817 in FY97 results of operations
for Schools to enable one-time project type expenses to be completed
(the unused FY97 transfer to Schools in the amount of $1,910,483 and
excess FY97 state sales tax received in the amount of $129,334). A
detailed list of projects is included in the body of the agenda item.
On November 12, 1997, the Board of Supervisors approved the year-end
results agenda item which included the reappropriation of the excess
State sales tax in the amount of $129,334 for Schools. Therefore, only
the $1,910,483 needs to be reappropriated. The School Board budget
will be increased by the total amount of $2,039,817 following the
public hearing and subsequent approval and reappropriation.
