LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The property is located within the boundaries of the Southern and Western Area Plan
which suggests the property is appropriate for residential use on 1-5 acre parcels.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by single-family residential development within the Brandy Oaks
and Collington subdivisions. Residential development is expected to continue in the area, as
suggested by the Plan.
Zoning History:
On February 25, 1987 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved rezoning to Residential (R-25) on property which
included the request property (Case 87SN0012). This property has since been developed
as Brandy Oaks subdivision.
On December 11, 1991 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved rezoning on property which included the request
property plus amendment to Case 87SN0012 relative to density. (Case 91SN0220)
On August 26, 1992 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved conditional use planned development to permit
recreational facilities on the request property (Case 92SN0191). A soccer complex for the
Midlothian Youth Soccer League has since developed on the property.
Development Standards:
If approved, this proposal would allow office use within a Residential (R-25) District.
Conditions of approval would allow such use to operate from an industrialized structure
until such time that a permanent structure could be built, but for no more than seven (7)
years from the date of approval. (Condition 1)
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth District Area. However, given that
the property is zoned Residential (R-25), it is not subject to the Emerging Growth District
standards. Staff has recommended a condition requiring compliance with these standards
for any new structures beyond the industrialized office (Condition 2). The purpose of the
Emerging Growth District Standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects.
The Zoning Ordinance specifically addresses access, landscaping, setbacks, parking,
signs, buffers, utilities and screening.

CONCLUSION
The proposed office use would be no more intense than uses currently allowed and operating on
the property and would be accessory to the already permitted recreational uses. In addition, use
of the industrialized structure would be temporary.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
