LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for regional mixed use.
Area Development Trends:
Properties to the north are zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-2), Residential (R-7 and
R-9) and Agricultural (A) and Regional Business (C-4) and are developed for commercial
and retail uses, public/semi-public uses (water treatment plant) or are vacant. Properties
to the south are zoned Agricultural (A) and Residential (R~7 and R-9) and are occupied
by single family dwellings or are vacant. Properties to the east are zoned Residential (R-
9) and developed as apartments or zoned Regional Business (C-4) as part of the
Commonwealth Center project, although currently vacant. Properties to the west are
zoned Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-7) and are vacant or occupied by single family
dwellings as part of the Mockingbird Hills Subdivision development. Cormmercial
development is expected to continue adjacent to the intersection of Routes 360 and 288,
with office, light industrial and high density residential uses along the periphery of this
commercial core providing the transition to adjacent development.
Zoning History:
On November 25, 1987, the Board of Supervisors, npon favorable recommendation by
the Planning Commission, approved rezoning from Agricultural (A), Residential (R-12)
and Office Business (O) to Office Business (O) and Community Business (B-2) with
Conditional Use Plmmed Development on 191 acres located along the south line of Hull
Street Road, east of its intersection with Route 288 (Case 87S137). A mixed use
development to include office, commercial, light industrial and multi-family residential
uses was proposed. Condition 9 of this case required that signs comply with the Corridor
Overlay District Standards, with the ability to erect two (2) additional freestanding signs
for a regional shopping mall only.
On October 25, 2000, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the
Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Conditional Use Planned
Development (Case 87S134) relative to the Textual Statement, tract designations, Master
Plan, uses, internal road network and required conditions. The original sign condition of
Case 87S134 was not affected by this amendment.
Site Design:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Area. Development of the site
must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and conditions of Case
87S134, as amended by Case 00SN0280, which address access, parking, landscaping,
3 02SN0283-AUG28-BOS
architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and
loading areas.
Signs:
Signs for the site are currently regulated by Condition 9 of Case 87S134 which require
compliance with Corridor Overlay District Standards, with the ability to erect two (2)
additional fi-eestanding signs at specific locations for a regional mall use, only. The
applicant has requested that this condition be deleted so as to allow signage to comply
with current Zoning Ordinance requirements.
CONCLUSIONS
This amendment would allow signs to conform to current Zoning Ordinance standards
(Condition). Given these considerations, approval of this request would be appropriate.
