R.L. Bates
Clover Hill Magisterial District
North line of Route 360
REQUEST:
(Amended) Rezoning from Office Business (O) to Community Business
(B-2) of 1.8 acres, plus amendment to a previously granted Condi-
tional Use Planned Development (Case 85S049) to: (1) modify the
Master Plan relative to the shopping center; (2) allow required
buffers to be provided on residential tracts; and (3) allow access
to private drives no closer than 100 feet from Route 360. A shop-
ping center is planned.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval for the following reasons:
The rezoning of 1.8 acres to B-2 allows the shopping center design
to be modified to better accommodate buffering, traffic, and
structures.
The renderings submitted with the application reflect a quality
architectural design that is aesthetically pleasing.
Provision of the buffers on the residential tracts meets the spirit
and intent of the original conditions of zoning and approved Master
Plan.
The conditions recommended herein minimize the possibility of traf-
fic congestion and accidents if access is located closer than 200
feet to Route 360.
CONDITIONS
The following conditions notwithstanding, the plan prepared by
Columbia Architectural Group, dated May 28, 1985, shall be con-
sidered the Master Plan. The original textual statement approved
under Case 84S049 shall remain in effect. (P)
(Note: This condition supersedes Condition 1 of Case 84S049.)
The structures shall have an architectural style as depicted in the
renderings prepared by Columbia Architectural Group. As depicted on
the Master Plan, the end walls shall be brick and the rear walls
shall employ subdued colors. The rear walls shall employ materials
and colors which minimize their visual monotony. (p)
The fifty (50) foot buffer required by Condition 11 of the original
zoning, along the northern boundary of the B-2 tract, may be pro-
vided within the R-9 tract in a recorded easement. Landscaping
plans shall be submitted in conjunction with schematic plan review
for the B-2 tract. The buffer shall be installed in conjunction
with development of the R-9 tract. The owner of the B-2 tract shall
be responsible for the maintenance/replacement of the buffer. (P)
Condition 18 of Conditional Use Planned Development 84S049, relative
to access, may be modified at the time of schematic plan review if
documentation is submitted which insures that access closer than 200
feet to Route 360 will not create traffic congestion or increase the
possibility of traffic accidents. (T)
(Note: This condition is in addition to Condition 18 of Conditional Use
Planned Development 84S049. Ail other conditions of Conditional Use
Planned Development 84S049 remain applicable.)

Th~se amendments will have no impact on
these facilities.
General Plan:
Commercial and single family residential
Transportation:
Condition 18 of the Conditional Use Planned
Development required that all access to
private drives and internal public roads be
located a minimum of 200 feet from the
right of way of Route 360. The condition
was recommended and imposed to insure that
internal turning movements do not occur in
proximity to Route 360. Movements in
proximity to Route 360 could create con-
gestion and increase the possibility of
traffic accidents.
The revised Master Plan proposes access
within 100 feet of Route 360 along the
private access drive into the shopping
center. Access along the proposed public
road is maintained at 200 feet. A reduc-
tion of the 200 feet would be acceptable if
adequate provisions are made to accommodate
turning movements. The revised Master Plan
notes that a left-turn lane will be pro-
vided to minimize the possibility of traf-
fic back-ups onto Route 360. Staff recom-
mends that the original condition be mod-
ified to allow reduction in the distance at
the time of schematic plan review when more
detailed information will be available.
(Condition 4)
DISCUSSION
On May 23, 1984, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommenda-
tion from the Planning Commission, rezoned the subject property along
with the adjacent R-9 property to the north with Conditional Use Planned
Development.
The first portion of the current request is to rezone 1.8 acres of the
Office Business (0) property to Community Business (B-2) to accommodate
the proposed structures and better facilitate traffic movements. The
second portion of this request deals with amendments to the approved
Master Plan and conditions of zoning.
The approved Master Plan showed several individual buildings with varied
setbacks. The current application proposes two (2) separate structures.
The renderings submitted with the application depict brick facades that
have variation in design and setbacks. The revised Master Plan and
renderings depict a quality project which is not representative of
3 85S052/BSJUN5/JULY24L
typical strip development. The amended Master Plan and renderings comply
with the spirit and intent of the approved Master Plan. (Conditions 1
and 2)
Condition 11 of the original zoning required a fifty (50) foot buffer to
be provided along the northern, eastern and western boundaries of the O
and B-2 tracts. The current request proposes to amend the application to
allow the required buffering along the northern boundary of the B-2 tract
to be provided within the Residential (R-9) tract to the north. It is
the developer's opinion that future residents would prefer to own the
buffer and control its use rather than the owners of the shopping center.
Staff would support amendment of Condition 11 and suggest that the buffer
be installed in conjunction with the development of the residential
tract. (Condition 3)
