East line of North Bailey Bridge Road
REQUEST:
Rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Office Business (O), plus Condi-
tional Use Planned Development to permit use and bulk exceptions.
An office, industrial and business park is planned.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval subject to the conditions stated herein for the following
reasons:
The proposed zoning and land uses, as noted in the following con-
ditions, represent a reasonable transition between the Route 360
corridor and the single family residential development to the south
and east.
Through the Conditional Use Planned Development process, the Commis-
sion and Board may impose conditions which further address land use
compatibility and minimize the impact of this development on adja-
cent residential land uses.
CONDITIONS
The following conditions notwithstanding, the plan prepared by J.K.
Timmons and Associates, dated March 4, 1985, shall be considered the
Master Plan. (P)
Lots 5, and 7 through 12 shall be restricted to Office Business (0)
uses. No setback exceptions shall be granted on these lots. Lots 1
through 4, and 6 shall be restricted to Office Business (O), Light
Industrial (M-i), and indoor recreational uses. Ten (10) foot
exceptions to rear and side yard setback requirements on these lots.
8
A seventy-five (75) foot buffer shall be maintained along the east-
ern and southern boundaries adjacent to Residential (R-9) zoning.
This buffer width shall be exclusive of utility easements or rights
of way. Prior to any clearing or grading, the buffer shall be
flagged. Within fifteen (15) days of completion of rough clearing
and grading, the Planning Department shall be contacted to inspect
the buffer area. If existing vegetation is not of sufficient
5o
0
e
density and species to provide year-round screening, the existing
vegetation shall be supplemented with additional plantings to pro-
vide year-round screening of the development from adjacent residen-
tial development. If additional landscaping is necessary, landscap-
ing plans shall be submitted for approval within thirty (30) days of
the inspection of the buffer. The buffer may be installed in con-
junction with the phasing of the development. (P)
Buildings on Lots 5, and 7 through 12 shall not exceed a height of
two (2) stories. Buildings on other lots shall not exceed a height
of three (3) stories. Buildings shall have an architectural style
and employ materials and colors which are compatible with the adja-
cent residential development. In conjunction with schematic plan
review, elevations and color samples or colored renderings shall be
submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. (P)
Outdoor lighting shall be low level and positioned so as not to
project into adjacent residential development. In conjunction with
schematic plan review, a lighting plan shall be submitted to the
Planning Commission for approval. (P)
There shall be no public or private road connections to Frederick
Farms Subdivision. (P&T)
A thirty (30) foot buffer shall be maintained along North Bailey
Bridge Road. Within this buffer, ornamental trees and shrubs shall
be planted. This vegetation may be supplemented with an earth berm.
In conjunction with schematic plan review, a conceptual landscaping
plan depicting this requirement shall be submitted to the Planning
Commission for approval. Detailed landscaping plans shall be sub-
mitted to the Planning Department for approval in conjunction with
final site plan review. This buffer may be installed in conjunction
with the phasing of the development. The buffer width shall be
exclusive of any utility easements or rights of way. With the
exception of a single freestanding sign identifying the development
and a public road, there shall be no facilities permitted in the
buffer. (p)
A single freestanding sign shall be permitted along North Bailey
Bridge Road identifying the development and tenants therein. This
sign shall not exceed an aggregate area of fifty (50) square feet
and a height of ten (10) feet. Individual business establishments
shall be permitted signs as regulated by the Zoning Ordinance for
Office Business (0) zoning, except that freestanding sign height
shall not exceed ten (10) feet. Ail signs shall be externally
lighted utilizing white lights; or internally lighted provided the
lights are either silhouetted behind opaque letters; or in sign
boxes which are opaque with translucent letters. Ail signs shall be
positioned so as not to be visible from adjacent residential devel-
opment. (P)
The developer shall provide mn accurate account of the drainage
situation, showing existing drainage and the impact this project
85 £ ~'~'~/B S JUN5 /JULY24P
will have on the site and the surrounding area. The developer shall
submit a construction plan to Environmental Engineering and VDH&T,
providing for on- and off-site drainage facilities. This plan shall
be approved by the Environmental Engineering Department and VDH&T,
and all necessary easements shall be obtained prior to any vegeta-
tive disturbance. The approved plan may have to be implemented
prior to clearing. (EE)
10.
A hydraulic analysis shall be performed on the drainage facilities
in Frederick Farms Subdivision to determine what effect the drainage
from the proposed development will have as compared to development
for single family residential uses. (EE)
11.
Maximum permissible release rates on the proposed retention basin
shall be such that the minimum drainage criteria performance capac-
ity of the existing facilities in Frederick Farms Subdivision shall
not be exceeded and the recorded 100 year backwater elevation shall
not be increased. (EE)
12.
Prior to the release of any building permits or recordation of right
of way and/or subdivision plats, ownership and maintenance of the
pond(s) shall be established as the responsibility of private en-
tities. An indemnification agreement shall be submitted to the
Environmental Engineering Department to save the County harmless of
vectors, maintenance, and replacement responsibilities, etc. Upon
completion of construction of the detention facility, it shall be
certified by a professional engineer. (EE)
13.
14.
Dams shall be built at an elevation such that on-site buildings or
existing homes in Frederick Farms Subdivision would not be jeop-
ardized should the dam fail. A dam failure analysis shall be per-
formed and submitted to Environmental Engineering. (EE)
Concrete curb and gutter shall be installed around the perimeter of
all driveways and parking areas. (EE)
15.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, thirty-five (35) feet of
right of way, measured from the centerline of North Bailey Bridge
Road, shall be dedicated to and for the County of Chesterfield, free
and unrestricted. (T)
16.
Prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits, additional pavement
and curb and gutter shall be installed along North Bailey Bridge
Road. (T)
17.
All public roads shall have a minimum width of forty (40) feet, face
of curb to face of curb. (T)

8 inch public water line located along
Leiden Lane in Frederick Farms Subdivision,
south of request parcel. Use of public
water intended.
Lies in Swift Creek sewer drainage area.
Trunk sewer line located in Frederick Farms
Subdivision, south of request parcel.
Sewer lines in area have limited capacity;
therefore, prior to development, owner must
perform detailed hydraulic analysis to
determine whether sewer lines have capacity
for proposed uses.
Terrain gently sloping and, when cleared,
has slight chance for erosion. Soils are
poorly drained. Any fill activity should
be performed under direction of geo-tech-
nical engineer. In conjunction with build-
ing permit application for each individual
site, subsurface drainage plan should be
submitted for approval.
Approximately 200 acres, upstream from
request site, drains through subject parcel
into Frederick Farms Subdivision. On-site
drainage channelization is poorly defined.
Proposed road and lot layout, as shown on
Master Plan, conflicts with on-site drain-
age channelization. Existing area streams
inadequate and are in the process of being
enlarged, realigned and paved in Frederick
Farms Subdivision to accommodate drainage.
May be necessary to extend drainage facil-
ities in Frederick Farms through the
request site. (Condition 9)
When drainage improvements were constructed
in Frederick Farms Subdivision, it was

Fire Service:
Transportation:
anticipated that development of request
site would be residential. Consequently,
drainage facilities in Frederick Farms
Subdivision are potentially inadequate to
handle runoff from request site. Drainage
plans for request parcel should be coor-
dinated with drainage design for Frederick
Farms Subdivision. Since paved ditches in
Frederick Farms have not yet been in-
stalled, it may be possible to increase
their depth or redesign improvements to
accommodate both developments. (Condition
10)
Upstream property draining through request
site does so via two individual swales of
roughly equal area. These swales connect
to Frederick Farms Subdivision. It appears
that the proposed retention basin, as shown
on Master Plan, will only accommodate
drainage from portion of development.
Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust
Master Plan to relocate, enlarge, or pro-
vide additional pond on property (Condition
11).
Wagstaff Fire Station, Company #10. Pre-
sently, fire service capability adequate.
County water and fire hydrants must be
provided in compliance with nationally
recognized standards.
Estimate approximately 1,124 average daily
trips will be generated. These vehicles
will be distributed along North Bailey
Bridge Road, which had a 1984 traffic
tabulation of 1,250 vehicles per day. The
Master Plan proposes public road access
from this development to Frederick Farms
Subdivision. Because of the potential for
industrial/commercial traffic accessing
through the subdivision, it is recommended
that there be no access from this develop-
ment to Frederick Farms. (Condition 6)
Left and right turn lanes plus curb and
gutter should be constructed along North
Bailey Bridge Road to facilitate turning
movements. (Condition 16)
The internal public roads should be
signed and constructed to accommodate

DISCUSSION
Right of way must be dedicated along North
Bailey Bridge Road in accordance with the
General Plan 2000. (Condition 15)
Single family residential
Rezoning to Office Business (O) plus Conditional Use Planned Development
is requested to permit use and bulk exceptions on the request site.
Specifically, on Lots 1 through 4 and 6, as shown on the Master Plan,
Light Industrial (M-l) uses are proposed in addition to Office Business
(O) uses, and the following B-3 uses: outdoor advertising signs; boat
sales; building materials ~ales yard; contractors' shop and storage yard;
feed, seed, fuel and ice sales; farm implement and machinery sales,
service, rental, and repair; recreational establishments - indoor; util-
ity trailer and truck rental; freight forwarding, packing and crating
services; and motor vehicle wash. A ten foot exception to the side yard
setback requirement is also requested on these specific lots. Lots 5, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 would be reserved, exclusively, for Office Business
(O) uses.
As noted, adjacent properties to the north and west are zoned General
Business (B-3). Adjacent property to the south and east is zoned Res-
idential (R-9).
The request parcel represents an opportunity to provide a transition
between the intense commercial zoning to the north and west and the
single family residential land uses to the south and east. In review of
this application, the Commission and Board should impose conditions which
would minimize the impact of commercial and industrial development on the
adjacent single family residential land uses and to insure land use
compatibility (Conditions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8). Staff is of the opinion
that all but one of the requested B-3 use exceptions (i.e., indoor recre-
ational establishments) are inappropriate on the request parcel (Condi-
tion 2). The proposed B-3 uses are currently permitted along the Hull
Street Road frontage which is primarily vacant at this time. Intense
commercial development should continue to be confined along the major
arterial and not encroach any closer into the single family residential
area. (Condition 2)
Furthermore, particular consideration should be given to provision of
adequate buffering on the site. Generally, the Master Plan proposes a 50
foot undisturbed buffer adjacent to Frederick Farms Subdivision. Staff
feels this buffer may not be adequate to screen proposed uses from
Frederick Farms Subdivision. A gas pipeline easement encroaches into the
buffer in the vicinity of Lot 9. Staff is of the opinion that because
this area is cleared, the width should be increased further where the
pipeline crosses the 50 foot buffer. (Condition 3)
