LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for General Business use.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by single-family residential uses on acreage parcels to the north
and industrial uses to the south and further east along battery Dantzler Road. Property to the
west,across the CSX Railroad right-of-way and Old Stage Road, is occupied by commercial
uses and a multifamily residential complex (White Oak). A mix of commercial and
industrial uses is expected to continue in the area, as suggested by the Plan.
Zoning History:
OnDecember 10, 1975, the Board of Supervisors approved General Industrial (I-2)
zoning on the subject property and adjacent property to the south and east.(Case
75SN0166)
Uses:
In addition to uses currently permitted, with approval of this case the applicant would be
allowed to operate motor vehicle sales, service and repair; motor vehicle consignment sales
and motor vehicle storage/towing lot on the request property(Proffered Condition). These
uses are first permitted by right, with restrictions or with conditional use approval in a
General Business (C-5) District. As the subject property is zoned General Industrial (I-2),
conditional use approval is required.
The Ordinance defines motor vehicle storage/towing lot as the use of a parcel for the
temporary storage of damaged, disabled, inoperative or impounded motor vehicles or
machinery. Conditions have been offered to minimize the visual impacts of this use on
adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. Specifically, Proffered Condition Ewould
require durable fencing to screen this use. Further, landscaping on the exterior of the fenced
areas viewed from Old Stage Road has been proffered to add visual interest to this solid
treatment. Such landscaping would be maintained per Ordinance requirements.
While side yard setbacks of thirty (30) feet are required for parking areas in this zoning
district, Proffered Condition E.1 and E.2 would increase this setback along the northern
property boundary adjacent to existing residential uses. Landscaping would also be
provided within this setback for the duration of the residential use of these parcels.
Architecture and Design:
The request property lies within the Route 10 Corridor East zoning overlay district. Any
new construction must conform to the development standards of the Zoning Ordinance
4 14SN0589-2014SEP17-BOS-RPT
which address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers,
utilities, screening of dumpsters and loading areas. The Route 10 Corridor East provides
additional regulations pertaining to setbacks, architecture and internal circulation.
CONCLUSION
The proposed uses conform to the Comprehensive Plan, which suggests the property is
appropriate for General Business use. In addition, they are representative of and compatible with
existing and anticipated area development. The proffered condition further ensures compatibility
with existing and anticipated area development.
Given these considerations, approvalof this request is recommended.
