Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Matoaca Villa.~e Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 1.5 units per acre or less.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned residential and are occupied by single-family
residential uses. It is anticipated that single-family residential development will continue
in this area, consistent with the Plan.
Site Design and Occupancy:
A structure on the property has been converted into an additional dwelling unit which is
occupied by an immediate family member of the applicant.
Consistent with past actions on similar requests, conditions are typically imposed to
ensure that the "single family" character of the area is maintained by limiting occupancy
of the second dwelling unit such that the occupants of both dwelling units are related to
or are guests or domestic employees for the occupant of the principal dwelling unit.
Conditions also provide notice of such limitation to future owners of the property.
(Conditions 1 and 2)
CONCLUSIONS
The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have typically acted favorably on similar
requests where occupancy of the second dwelling unit has been limited to guests, domestic

servants or family members of the occupants of the principal dwelling. The recommended
conditions ensure that the single-family residential character of the area is maintained.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
