Tax IDs 748-686-2929, 5139 and 7148. Existing Zoning: C-3 and C-5 Size: 5.5 acres Existing Land Use: Commercial or vacant Adjacent Zoning and Land Use: North - A with Conditional Use; Public (fire and rescue station) South - C-5 and C-5 with conditional use planned development; Commercial East - C-3; Office West - R-7; Public/semi-public (church) T ITTT ,TTTF,~ Public Water System: The site is located in the Pocono water pressure zone. One (1) of the parcels is currently connected to the public water system. There is a six (6) inch water line extending along the southern property boundary of the request site. An additional eight (8) inch water line extends from the eastern adjacent parcel to the far eastern property line of the site. Connection to the public water system is required by County Code. Public Wastewater S,, sue: The site is located within the Falling Creek sewer service area. One (1) of the parcels is currently connected to the public wastewater system. There is a ten (10) inch wastewater line extending along the western boundary of the request site and the northern boundary of the site. Connection to the public wastewater system is required by County Code. ENVIRONMENTAL This request will have no impact on these facilities 3 11SN0153 JAN26-BOS-RPT PUBLIC FACILITIES Fire Service: Fire Station 24 and Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad currently provide fire protection and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) to the property. This request will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS. County Department of Transportation: The applicant has indicated that the property will be developed for motel and mini- storage uses. Traffic generated by this site will initially be distributed along Hull Street Road (Route 360), which had a 2009 traffic count of 56,943 vehicles per day. This rezoning request will have a similar traffic impact as the current zoning. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT): A revised commercial entrance(s) will be reviewed and commented upon, as appropriate, at the time of site plan submission. Turn lane warrants, as necessary, will be reviewed at time of site plan submittal. Site drainage will be reviewed and commented upon at the time of construction plan submittal. (It is noted that the principal culvert under State owned U.S. Route 360 (Hull Street Road) is already stressed and construction plans recently submitted with flows that drain to that culvert have been required to provide significant detention storage.) T,ANT~ TISF, Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for medium/high density residential use of 4.01 to 7.0 units/acre and for light commercial use. This Plan was adopted in 1985. One (1) of the goals of the Plan is to provide for appropriate transition from commercial to residential areas through buffering and land use transition. Given the property's location adjacent to existing commercial development to the south and residential and less intense development to the west and north, this transition may effectively be provided with the uses proposed by the applicant. 4 11SN0153 JAN26-BOS-RPT Area Development Trends: Property to the north is occupied by the Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad. Properties to the south, along Hull Street Road, are developed for commercial uses. Properties to the east and west have been developed for church use and an office complex. Development of the property in the manner depicted in the plans should provide appropriate transition between the Hull Street Road Commercial Corridor and the less intense development to the north, as suggested by the Plan. Zonin H.~X: On May 26,1982 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission, approved Community Business (B-2) zoning with conditional use planned development on the easternmost portion of the request property. (Case 82SN0038) On November 25, 1987 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission, approved a conditional use planned development to permit an indoor/outdoor recreational facility in a Community Business (B-2) District, again on the easternmost portion of the request property. (Case 87SN0135) On August 25, 1993 the Board of Supervisors, upon a recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission, approved General Business (C-5) zoning on the westernmost portion of the request property (Case 94SN0100). The zoning case was initiated by the Planning Commission at the request of some of the property owners, to bring the zoning into conformance with the existing land uses at that time. It was realized that through various County actions, the properties had been inadvertently rezoned to an Agricultural (A) classification. Development Standards: Currently, the property lies within an Emerging Growth District area and the 360 West Corridor District. The purpose of Emerging Growth District standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects. The purpose of the Corridor District standards is to recognize specified areas of the County as unique and to enhance patterns of development in those areas through the implementation of adopted plans and guidelines which mandate particular development requirements. The Zoning Ordinance specifically addresses access, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, parking, signs, buffers, utilities and screening of developments within these areas. If this request is approved, these standards would apply. In addition, the applicant has proffered conditions relative to architectural style and materials, screening and setbacks. (Proffered Conditions 1 through 3) The applicant is seeking an exception to the rear yard setback requirement, as noted in the attached Textual Statement. Specifically, a four (4) foot exception to the required twenty (20) foot rear yard setback is requested. Approval of the requested exception is appropriate, given the compound-like design of the proposed mini-storage facility and adjacent land uses 5 11SN0153 JAN26-BOS-RPT (Proffered Condition 2). The applicant is also proposing increased setbacks along the southern and eastern property lines, as well as enhanced landscaping. (Proffered Condition 3 and Textual Statement) To address concerns of the District Commissioner and to ensure an effort to revitalize the area, the applicant has agreed to a specific timeframe for removing the existing motel on a portion of the property as well as a time for issuance of a building permit for the mini- storagefacility. (Proffered Condition 5) CONCLUSION while the proposed zoning and land uses do not conform to the Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for high density residential use of 4.01 to 7.0 units/acre and light commercial use, the character of the area has significantly changed in the twenty-five (25) years since the Plan was adopted. In addition, the proposed zoning and land uses are representative of and compatible with existing and anticipated area development and provide appropriate land use transitions from the established commercial development along Route 360 to less intense developments located to the north and west of the property. Also, the proffered conditions and Textual Statement further ensure compatibility with area development and promote revitalization along this portion of the Hull Street Road corridor. Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended. CASE HISTORY Planning Commission Meeting (12/13/10): The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was no opposition present. On motion of Mr. Gulley, seconded by Mr. Waller, the Commission recommended approval and acceptance of the proffered conditions on page 2. AYES: Messrs. Hassen, Bass, Gulley and wailer. ABSENT: Dr. Brown. The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under consideration this request. 6 11SN0153 JAN26-BOS-RPT 1 7~ c _~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~E~~~~ V ~Q '' ~ ~~ GO ~ ~' ~~ ~5. .~~'~ G h ~~'' ~ . -' 1 ~~Q ~~~ _~~-, , 11 SN0153-1 11 SN0153-2 11 SN0153-3 11 SN0153-4
