UTILITIES
Public Water Svstem:
There is an existing sixteen (16) inch water line along Hillhouse Drive. The existing
residence is not connected to public water. This use will not impact the public water system.
Public Wastewater Svstem:
Public wastewater is not mailable and not planned for this area. Closest wastewater line is
approximately 3,600 feet from the request property. This use will not impact the public
wastewater system.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
This request will have no impact on these facilities.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad Fire Station, Company Number 24, and
Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad currently provide fire protection and emergency
medical service (EMS). This request will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS.
County Department of Transportation:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use for a business to permit group instniction
activities, incidental to a dwelling. Typical traffic generation information is not available
for the proposed use. The applicant has reduced the potential impact of the proposed use
by proffering conditions that include: 1) limiting hours of operation; 2) restricting the
3 14SN0~71-20141L`~N2~-BCIS-RPT
number of employees; and 3) restricting the number of clients on the property at any one
(1) time (Proffered Conditions 4, 6 and 7). The proposed land use is anticipated to have a
minimal impact on the existing transportation network.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT~:
VDOT has minimal concerns with this request. The use may be linuted by the amount of
off-street parking that can be provided since on-street parking is not available.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates the request property as Suburban Residential II
where residential development (single-family, or condominium uses under certain
circumstances) at a density 2.0 to 4.0 dwellings per acre is appropriate.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Residential (R-7 and R-15) and Agricultural (A) and are
occupied by single-family residential uses. The subject property is located between the
Plantation Estates and Reedy Mill Subdivisions to the north and south. It is anticipated that
residential uses will continue in the area as recommended by the Plan.
Uses:
A farm with livestock (goats) currently operates on the request property. Within the
Agricultural (A) District, the ordinance pernuts home occupations with certain restrictions.
The applicants propose to operate a business with group instniction for farming practices on
the prenuses, incidental to a dwelling. Given that group instniction is prohibited for home
occupations, a conditional use is required.
The applicants have offered several proffered conditions in an effort to linut the scale of the
proposed business. The conditional use would be restricted to the operation of a business
with group instniction, incidental to a dwelling for a maximum period of five (5) years
specific to the applicants and their son, provided the son resides on the property. (Proffered
Conditions 1, 2 and 3)
Proffers would linut the hours of operation to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily; preclude offsite
employees; and limit the maximum size of group instniction activities to twenty (20) clients
at any one (1) time (Proffered Conditions 4 and 6). The frequency of group instniction
activities would be linuted to seven (7) times a week (Proffered Condition 7). At the request
of the Matoaca District Planning Comnussioner, the applicant has proffered to linut the
number and restrict the location of parked vehicles related to this use. (Proffered Condition
9, Exhibit A)
4 14SN0~71-20141L`~N2~-BCIS-RPT
Expansion of Use:
Group instniction activities are typically held outside of the dwelling located on the
property. Consistent with home occupation guidelines, Proffered Condition 5 would prohibit
any new building constriction to accommodate this use. The existing dwelling and
accessory stnict~ires are outlined in Exhibit A.
Si~na~e:
Also consistent with home occupation limitations, one sign, not exceeding one (1) square
foot in area, will be pernutted to identify this use. (Proffered Condition 8)
CONCLUSION
The proposed land use does not comply with the Plan and is not representative of existing area
residential development.
Given these considerations, denial of this request is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (5/22/14):
The applicants were not present at the meeting due to a family emergency. They did not
accept staff's recommendation, but did accept the Planning Commission's
recommendation. There was no opposition present.
Dr. Wallin noted the property is unique, given the agricultural zoning bordered by
residential communities; that no one attended the community meeting for this case; that
proffers would limit activities on the site and insure adequate parking; and that the
operation represents an educational service to young people in taking care of natural
resources.
On motion of Dr. Wallin, seconded by Mr. Waller, the Commission recommended
approval and acceptance of the proffered conditions on page 2.
AYES: Messrs. Wallin, Patton, Brown and Waller.
ABSENT: Mr. Gulley.
The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under
consideration this request.
