Attachment 2 and 3
GARAGE SETBACKS
Case 07SN0141 was approved with a condition prohibiting front loaded garages from being
located any closer to the street than the front façade of the dwelling. The purpose of this
requirement is to prevent “stub-nosed” garages that protrude into front yards which may detract
from a well-designed streetscape.
The applicant is requesting to modify the front loaded garage setback requirement of Case
07SN0141 to permit front loaded garages to be located closer to the street than the front façade
of the dwelling. Specifically, the applicant proposes to modify Textual Statement Item III.E to
permit front loaded garages to have a setback less than the front façade of a dwelling, provided:
Garage is not located any closer to the street than front porch with shared roof line

Staff has determined that front-loaded garages that are flush with the front porch or have a

dwelling and streetscape.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON CAPITAL FACILITIES
Budget and Management
Staff Contact: Natalie Spillman (717-8767) spillmann@chesterfield.gov
The need for schools, parks, libraries, fire stations and transportation facilities in this area is
identified in the County’s adopted Public Facilities Plan, Thoroughfare Plan and Adopted Capital
Improvement Program and further detailed by specific departments in the applicable sections
of this request analysis.
This proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has calculated the
fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries and fire stations at
$23,418 per unit.
The original zoning case (07SN0141) was approved in July 2007 with a density of 130 units and
with the maximum cash proffer at the time of $15,600 per dwelling unit (currently escalated by
the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index to $21,186). The applicant has requested to reduce
the previously approved cash proffer to the current maximum of $18,966 per dwelling units.
While appropriate to maintain the cash proffer of $15,600 (currently escalated to $21,186)
approved with case 07SN0141, the Board of Supervisors has set the current maximum cash
proffer at $18,966, an amount lower than the escalated cash proffer amount as approved with
the original case. If accepted, the amended cash proffers would remain fixed for a period of
four years after which it would be escalated by the cumulative change in the Marshall and Swift
Building Cost Index.
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been
reviewed, and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash
proffer of $18,966 for each dwelling unit in this case.

Additional Information:
After review of this request, based on current school assignments and student enrollment the
proposed rezoning case will have an impact on schools. It is possible that over time this case,
combined with other tentative residential developments and other zoning cases in the area will
continue to push these schools to their capacity and therefore impact the capacity of facilities
division-wide.
