Public Water System:
The site is located within the Courthouse water pressure zone. There is a sixteen (16) inch
water line extending along the southern side of Hickory Road; an eight (8) inch water line
serving the site; and an additional eight (8) inch private line on a portion of the property. The
site is currently connected to the public water system.
Public Wastewater S,, sue:
The site is located within the boundaries of the Southern and Western Area Plan which
typically requires connection to the public wastewater system. Institutional uses are
exempt from the mandatory wastewater connection requirement.
Individual Septic Systems:
The Health Department must approve the expanded use of the existing private wastewater
system.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
This request will have minimal impact on these facilities.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Matoaca Fire Station, Company Number 8, and Ettrick-Matoaca Volunteer Rescue
Squad currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS). This request
will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS.
County Department of Transportation:
In November 1996 the Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use request (Case
97SN0148) to permit the operation of a group care facility and retreat center on the entire
property. With that conditional use approval, the Board accepted proffered conditions
relative to transportation that required, among other things, construction of turn lanes at
each approved access if warranted based on Transportation Department standards. In
1998 amulti-purpose building was constructed on the site. As part of the development a
separate right turn lane was constructed along Hickory Road to the property access.
As part of the current request for a child and adult day care center, the applicant has
proffered to limit the child and day care uses within the existing buildings on the property
3 11SN0245-AUG24-BOS-RPT
(Proffered Condition 1). This request will not limit the enrollment in the day care center;
therefore, it is difficult to anticipate traffic generation. The applicant plans to have
approximately 120 children and forty-five (45) adults enrolled at this day care. A typical
day care center with 120 students is anticipated to generate approximately 550 average
daily trips. Traffic generation data is not available for an adult day care center. The
applicant intends to utilize a bus service to transport children and adults to/from the
property. This traffic would be distributed along Hickory Road, which had a 2009 traffic
count of 4,115 vehicles per day between Church Road and Matoaca Road.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Hickory Road as a major arterial. Vehicular access to
major arterials, such as Hickory Road, should be controlled. The applicant has proffered
that direct vehicular access to Hickory Road will be limited to two (2) entrances/exits
(Proffered Condition 4). With the applicant limiting the day care use to the existing
buildings, a left turn lane is not recommended by the Transportation Department.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT):
VDOT has no comment given the use of an existing well-established entrance from Hickory
Road.
T,ANT~ TIFF,
Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Southern and Western Area
Plan, which suggests the subject portion of the property is appropriate for a community
mixed use center. This land use designation is located at the intersection of Hickory Road
and a future limited access roadway, as depicted on the Thoroughfare Plan in the vicinity
of the request property.
Area Development Trends:
Area properties are zoned Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-7) and occupied by single-
family residential dwellings on acreage parcels, public/semi-public uses (places of worship)
or are currently vacant. It is anticipated that acommunity-level mixed use center will be
developed where the proposed thoroughfare road intersects with Hickory Road, as suggested
by the Plan.
Zonin Hg istory:
On November 26, 1996, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by
the Planning Commission, approved a conditional use to permit the expansion of an
existing non-conforming group care facility (The Children's Home of Virginia Baptists)
to include additional facilities for religious, civic, social and group activities. (Case
97SN0148)
4 11SN0245-AUG24-BOS-RPT
Development Standards:
The request property has been developed for group care facility uses, administrative offices
and a multipurpose building housing religious, civic and social activities (including
conferences, retreats and indoor recreation).
Proffered Condition 1 would limit the proposed child and adult day care operations to the
existing campus buildings as shown on the attached plan. Any enhancements to parking and
drives, to include drop-off and pick-up areas for day care recipients, would be regulated by
the Ordinance which currently requires adherence to Emerging Growth Area standards for
non-residential uses. Proffered Conditions 2 and 3 address setbacks and buffers for outdoor
recreational areas associated with the day care use.
CONCLUSION
The proposed land uses conform to the Southern and Western Area Plan. Proffered conditions will
permit the integration of the proposed day care uses within the existing campus and will ensure
compatibility with existing and anticipated area commercial and residential development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
Staff (7/29/11):

considered by the Board of Supervisors on August 24, 2011.
