USE
General Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation
Plan, which designates the property for general commercial use. In
addition, the Plan notes that the request property and surrounding area, in
the vicinity of the Powhite Parkway/Midlothian Turnpike intersection, is
appropriate for large scale plan of development, incorporating a mix of
office, commercial and residential uses.
Area Development Trends:
The request property and adjacent property to the north, east and west are
zoned for office and limited accessory recreational .and service uses, as
part of the Gateway Centre; however, only the request property has been
developed. Properties to the south, along Midlothian Turnpike, are zoned
commercially and industrially and have been developed for a mix of
commercial uses.
Zoning History:
On December 15, 1986, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable
recommendation by the Planning Commission, approved rezoning from
Agricultural (A), General Business (B-3) and Light Industrial (M-l) to
Office Business (0) with Conditional Use Planned Development to permit use
and bulk exceptions on the request property and adjacent property to the
north, east and west (Case 86S107). With the approval of Case 86S107, uses
were limited to those uses permitted by right and as accessory uses within
Office Business (0) Districts plus the following use exceptions:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Membership club and restaurant with meeting facilities;
Outdoor recreational facilities including tennis courts, jogging
and exercise trails, and outdoor gathering area;
Food facilities (cafeterias) for use by employees;
Health and wellness facilities;
Nature trails and natural preserves;
Restaurants, when located within office buildings.
On April 27, 1987, the Board of Supervisors approved rezoning from
Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-15) to Office Business (0) with
Conditional Use Planned Development on property adjacent to that property
zoned with approval of Case 86S107 (Case 86S164). Conditions of zoning
approval for Cases 86S107 and 86S164 are similar, and both tracts comprise
the mixed use development known as the Gateway Centre.
Site Design:
The request property has been developed for an office building, with
associated parking facilities and driveways, within the Gateway Centre
mixed use complex. Based upon the approved site plan for this office
building, sufficient parking has been provided for the general office use
plus a limited amount of commercial use. Specifically, the property has
been developed with a total of 479 parking spaces. A total of 403 parking
4 ~'~92SN0175/PC/JULY22I
spaces would be required if the building were devoted to general office
uses exclusively.
Conclusions:
The proposed use conforms to the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation
Plan, which designates the property for general commercial use. In
addition, the development standards and mix of land uses applicable to the
request property and adjacent property to the north, east and west through
conditions of zoning approval for Case 86S107, plus the use which is the
subject of this request and other light commercial uses, are representative
of the development standards and mix of office and commercial uses of the
"new" Zoning Ordinance for Corporate Office (0-2) zoning. Therefore,
approval of this request is recommended.
