PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS SCHEDULED TO HEAR THIS CASE AT THEIR MEETING ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 2010. STAFF WILL ADVISE THE BOARD OF THE COMMISSION' S ACTION AFTER THEIR MEETING. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Conditions of zoning pertaining to signage were negotiated between the applicants of previous zoning cases and area property owners.

(NOTE: CONDITIONS MAY BE IMPOSED OR THE PROPERTY OWNER(S) MAY PROFFER CONDITIONS.) Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service PROFFERED CONDITIONS The Owner-Applicant in this zoning case, pursuant to Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia (1950 as amended) and the Zoning Ordinance of Chesterfield County, for itself and its successors or assigns, proffers that the development of the property known as Chesterfield County Tax 729-674-0211 requesting an amendment of a conditional use (Case No. 97SN0223 and 04SN0168) to permit exceptions to signage requirements; however, in the event the request is denied or approved with conditions not agreed to by the Applicant, these proffers and conditions shall be immediately null and void and of no further force or effect. 1. With the exception of a hotel, all building mounted signs shall be white in color and have a maximum logo square footage of one and one-fifth the building mounted letter height. (P) (Staff Note: This proffered condition supersedes Proffered Condition 1 of Case 04SN0168. Except as stated herein, signs must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.) 2. Prior to the issuance of any sign permit, the Planning Department shall be provided with documentation of the Brandermill Community Association's Architectural Review Board's approval of such sign(s). (P) (Staff Note: This proffered condition supersedes Proffered Condition 2 of Case 04SN0168.) GENERAL INFORMATION Location: North line of Hull Street Road, east of Bayside Lane. Tax ID 729-674-0211. Existing Zoning: C-3 with conditional use Size: 1.2 acres Existing Land Use: Commercial 2 10SN0265-AUG25-BOS-RPT Adjacent Zoning and Land Use: North, East and West - C-3 with conditional use; Commercial South - C-5; Commercial UTILITIES; ENVIRONMENTAL; AND PUBLIC FACILITIES This request will have no impact on these facilities. T .ANTI T 1CF. Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan Amendment which suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use. This could include community scale commercial uses, including shopping centers, and service and office uses that serve community-wide trade areas. Area Development Trends: The request property is an outparcel of the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center. Surrounding properties are zoned Community Business (C-3) and General Business (C-5) and are occupied by commercial uses. Zonin H.~ istory: On December 11,1991 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, approved a rezoning from Residential (R-7), Office Business (0) and Light Industrial (M-1) to Community Business (C-3) with Conditional Use to permit a shopping center, multi-family residential and townhouse residential uses on a 47.4 acre tract, which included the request site. (Case 91 SN0286) On July 23, 1997 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 91 SN0286 to permit a drug store/pharmacy with drive-in window on a 3.6 acre tract that included the request site (Case 97SN0223). With approval of this request, a proffered condition was accepted requiring that all signs conform to the Harbour Pointe Village Shopping Center Sign Package (Proffered Condition 8 of Case 97SN0223). For outparcel development, this package addressed the letter color and logo size for building mounted signage. On January 28, 2004 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 97SN0223 to permit exceptions to the sign requirements (Case 04SN0168). However, these exceptions were granted for an Arby's restaurant only. Any other use is still required to comply with the original sign standards. 3 10SN0265-AUG25-BOS-RPT Development Standards: The property is being developed for a hotel use. Except as regulated by Cases 91 SN0286 and 97SN0223, development must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for Emerging Growth Districts which address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers, pedestrian access, utilities and screening of dumpsters and loading areas. S~11S: Signs for the site are currently regulated by the Zoning Ordinance requirements, except as superseded by conditions of Case 04SN0168. Such conditions address letter color and logo size for building mounted signage used for out parcel development. Specifically, all lettering for building mounted signage, except for an Arby's restaurant, must be white and the logo height cannot exceed one and one-fifth (1 1/S) times the letter height. The applicant is requesting an amendment to these sign conditions to permit lettering of other colors as an alternative to the white lettering requirement for hotel use only. The logo height restriction would remain (Proffered Condition 1). These conditions were negotiated between the applicant of Case 04SN0168 and area property owners in an attempt to achieve consistency in signage between the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center and out parcel development. Further, proffered conditions require that all signage be approved by the Brandermill Community Association's Architectural Board (Proffered Condition 2). It should be noted that the Ordinance no longer requires adherence to sign packages for projects existing prior to November 9, 1994, which includes the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center. Signs for such developments must comply with requirements of the Ordinance and zoning conditions and may also be subject to privately-enforced requirements and review processes. CONCLUSION The conditions of the 2004 zoning case 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 conditions would be appropriate. CASE HISTORY Staff (7/26/10): If this request is acted upon by the Planning Commission on August 17, 2010, it will be considered by the Board of Supervisors on August 25, 2010. The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, August 25, 2010, beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under consideration this request. 4 10SN0265-AUG25-BOS-RPT ~ ~ ~- 1G Rp,TN B~v~ ~ W ~ RP , ~ ~ ~ .r~~~rl ~ NQ r 1 ~ N ~ `J 0~ o ,~` ~~~ j J __- z ~ r_ __~_ __~ - _ o _ t ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~, ~~ - ~ o 1 ~~ /~__ • 1 ~ ~~ ~ " i 1\ ~-- j N ~ (~ o / 0 ~ v ,, , ~ ~ _ ~ , N ~ ~ ~ ~ l • N j"I ~ ~ ~ ~ N ~ ~ ~~ ~ ' 1 i ~ • O ~ N `~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ '~ ~ -- ,.~ ~ N ~ "~ 1 ~ N~ ~ M ~. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~o 1 , ~ ~ ~ ,, N ~ 1 ~ a e ~ ~ J ' ~ ~~ N ~ ~~ ti Y ~ ~ ~~~ W ..:::. ~ N ~ P" w U .::::: " ~ ~ ~ ~J ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~P ' ~ ~~~ ~~ ~, E _ " ~P ~ ~z ~ ~ If N ~ ~ ~ ~ ' ~ I 2i0 Nf12~ 2i33a ~ 0 Q ' Q ~y a ~ ~ ~ . ~~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ,~ ARBOU UFF~ ~ G~ ~~~ ' o ~ ~ w z cn o ~a J ~ ~ N ~ ~ a~ ~ ~ ~ o~ °~d ~ c~ ~_ N N ~ = N J~ O N ~~ ~ J Q- ~I ~ ^ ~o = ~ _ ~ ' ~c/ ~ ~~ ~~oa~b ~ a o N ~ a ~ / y ~ ~ _ ~ Z p Q ~ ~ CV W ~ J ~ ~ o = ~ ~ y~ ~ 1 i W Z o U ~ ~ ~ ~ 1 O l ~ V ~ ?~ °> ~ . ! /
