Public Wastewater S,, sue:
The site is located within the Upper Swift Creek sewer service area. There is an eight (8)
inch wastewater line terminating approximately 240 feet east of the site. Connection to
the public wastewater system is required by county code.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the southwest onto the Clover Hill Library site. There are no
existing or anticipated on-or off site drainage problems. There is a stub pipe on the Clover
Hill Library site that can be used to drain the parcel.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire service:
The Clover Hill Fire Station, Company Number 7, currently provides fire protection and
emergency medical service (EMS). This request will have a minimal impact on Fire and
EMS.
County Department of Transportation:
The applicant has indicated that this proposal is anticipated to generate approximately
100 average daily trips. In all likelihood, this traffic will use Route 360 to enter and exit
the site. Route 360 in this area is an eight (8) lane divided facility that carried 49,532
vehicles per day in 2008.
Access to major arterials should be controlled to reduce conflict points along heavily
traveled corridors such as Route 3 60. The applicant has proffered to preclude direct
access to Route 360, if reasonable access can be obtained through an adjacent property. If
direct access is provided to Route 360, the applicant has proffered to provide a right turn
lane to mitigate the traffic impact of the development. (Proffered Condition)
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT):
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) notes that the site may have a
private entrance by right. However, a commercial entrance is not by right, and access via
a commercial entrance will be needed. The commercial entrance will be subject to the
requirements for access management spacing found in 24 VAC 30 - 72, Access
Management Regulations for Principal Arterials, since the site is adjacent to Hull Street
Road (U.S. Route 360) which is a Virginia Principal Arterial Highway. The shared use of
an entrance(s) with adjacent commercial properties may be pursued by the developer.
Entrances will be reviewed for access management requirements and accommodation of
the largest commercial vehicle serving the site at time of construction site plan submittal.

Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan
Amendment, which suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use.
Draft Comprehensive Plan:
The Revised Draft Comprehensive Plan (as recommended by the Chesterfield County
Planning Commission on November 15, 2011) designates the subj ect property "Community
Corridor." This proposed land use designation encourages vertically and horizontally
integrated mix of residential, office, public, open space and commercial uses. It should be
noted that the revised draft plan is pending review by the Board of Supervisors, has not been
approved, and does not provide land use guidance for the subject property at this time. The
recommendations of the revised draft plan are provided for informational purposes only.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by office and commercial development along the Hull Street Road
corridor, with residential development north and south of the corridor. Commercial uses are
expected to continue in this area, as suggested by the Plan.
Development Standards:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth District Area. The purpose of the
Emerging Growth District Standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects.
Development of the site must conform to the development standards of the Zoning
Ordinance, which address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks,
signs, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and parking areas, except as proffered
erem.
In addition, the property is located within the Route 360 Corridor West area. Within this
area, the Zoning Ordinance addresses architectural styles for projects, requires building
elements to be provided to reduce the mass of large buildings, provides for pedestrian scale
environment, and requires buildings to be compatible with residential architecture and other
buildings within the same projector surrounding area.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Upper Swift Creek Plan Amendment, which
suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use. In addition, the proposed zoning
and land uses are representative of and compatible with existing and anticipated area
development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
