T , ANn 1 IMF,
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Southern and Western Area Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for residential use of 1-5 acre lots; suited to R-88 zoning.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Residential (R-15 and R-88) and Agricultural (A) and
developed as Chesdin Park and Chesdin Ridge Subdivisions, residential homes on
acreage parcels or are vacant. It is anticipated that larger-lot residential development will
continue in the area, as recommended by the Plan.
Zonin H.~ istory:
On July 27, 2005, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved Residential (R-88) zoning on a 107.5 acre tract.
Conditions of Case 05SN0214, in part, addressed minimum dwelling sizes. The subject
of the current request contains the majority of the property included in this 2005 case,
less and except two parcels.
House Sizes:
Conditions of Case 05SN0214 establish a minimum gross floor area of 1,800 square feet
for one-story dwellings. Dwellings with more than one story must contain a minimum
gross floor area of 2,000 square feet (Proffered Condition 4). The applicant is requesting
an amendment to reduce the minimum gross floor area to 1,400 square feet for all
dwelling units, regardless of the number of stories.
It should be noted that one (1) parcel located along River Road and south of Chesdin Park
Subdivision was originally zoned as part of Case OSSN0214 but are not included in the
current request. This parcel is occupied by a single family dwelling. Any new residential
construction on this parcel would continue to be subject to the house sizes established
with Case OSSN0214.
Dwellings within nearby developed subdivisions (Chesdin Ridge, Chesdin Park, and
Grayson Estates) have minimum constructed floor areas of 988 to 1414 square feet.
CONCLUSIONS
Conditions relative to dwelling sizes were negotiated with area property owners. After
consideration of public input, should the Commission and Board wish to approve this
amendment, acceptance of the Proffered Condition would be appropriate.
