While the Northern Area Plandesignatesthe request property as appropriate for
office and light commercial uses along Hull Street Road and residential use along
its southernmostboundary, the subject property and area properties have been
zoned and developed for neighborhood, community and general business uses, as
well as light industrial uses.Given the existing development pattern, it would be
appropriate to permit Community Business (C-3) uses in compliance with the

Zoning History:
On February 27, 1985 the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Community
Business (B-2) plus conditional use planned development (Case 85S013)to permit use
and bulk exceptions on the request property.The approval was subject to conditions
which addressed buffers, setbacks, signs, lighting, access, road improvements,
architectureand storm water management.Conditions alsolimit uses on a portion of the
request propertythat fronts the east line of Genito Road, generally across from Stigall
Way, to uses permitted in the Convenience Business (B-1) Districtbecause this portion of
the property was designated on the Northern Area Planfor light commercial use.
Use:
Victorian Squareshopping center,which includes a variety of large and small scale retail
stores, offices and restaurants,hasoperated on the request property for approximately
twenty-five (25) years.The applicant plans to operate arestaurant within an existing
structure on the southwestern portion of the request property.However, because the
proposed restaurant will serve alcoholic beverages and will include live entertainment
and dancing,the proposed use is considered a nightclub.The Zoning Ordinance defines a
nightclub as a commercial establishment which serves alcoholic beverages and has live
entertainment and dancing by the public.
While the underlying Community Business (C-3) zoning would permit a nightclub use,
conditionsof zoning (Condition 17 of Case 85S013) do not include nightclub use as a
permitted use by-right. With approval of this request, the use restrictions on this portion
of the request property would be deleted,and the proposed nightclub use would be
permitted in addition to uses the other uses permitted in the Community Business (C-3)
District.
CONCLUSION
While the Northern Area Plandesignates the request property as appropriate for office and light
commercial uses along Hull Street and Genito Roads and Speeks Drive,the subject property and
area properties have been zoned and developed for neighborhood, community and general
business uses, as well as light industrial uses.Given the existing development pattern, it would
be appropriate to permit Community Business (C-3) uses in compliance with the Zoning
Ordinance, without further limitations, on the western portion of the request property.Without
this restriction, the proposed nightclub associated with a restaurant use would be permitted as a
by-right use.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
