PROPOSAL A commercial development is planned for the request property as well as the remainder of the parent parcel that is located to the north which is owned by the applicant and zoned Community Business (C-3). A conceptual plan of development for the approximately 2.2 acres of combined property has not been formally included with this zoning request. The Plan suggests providing flexibility in zoning requests where the request would bring the zoning and development closer into compliance with the land use recommendations of the Plan. By including the adjacent C-3 portion of the parent parcel, limitations on permitted commercial uses and enhancement of development standards could be considered in tandem with this rezoning in an effort to align more closely with the recommendations of the Plan and to achieve compatibility with existing and anticipated area development patterns. The applicant elected to pursue rezoning independent of the remainder of parent parcel. On August 31, 2015, the applicant proffered a list of prohibited auto-oriented uses to reduce the intensity of planned uses for the request property. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The request propertylies within an Emerging Growth Area. However, the applicant has proffered to develop the request property according to the Courthouse Design District development standards, which addresses setbacks, building heights and architectural treatment. The following provides an overview of conditions offered by the applicant to minimizethe impact of the use on area properties: General Overview Requirements Details Gasoline Sales Automobile self-service station Motorvehicle washes Prohibited Uses Automobile service station Motor vehicle repair Motor vehicle sales and rental Proffered Condition 1 Courthouse Design District Development Standard Proffered Condition 2 515SN0665-2015OCT28-BOS-RPT PUBLIC FACILITIES FIRE SERVICE Staff Contact: Greg Smith (804-706-2012) smithgd@chesterfield.gov Nearby Fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Facilities Fire Station The Airport Fire Station, Company Number 15 EMS Facility The Airport Fire Station, Company Number 15 This request will have minimal impact on fire and EMS.

Geography The ability to achieve the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations with a drainable adequate outfall is unclear, given the limited site outflow capacity and elevation as noted below. Staff has requested a proffered condition requiring a conceptual drainage study demonstrating the feasibility of using existing limited drainage conveyance systems to achieve a project that meets all required development regulations. Portions of the adjacent Central Library drain across the request o property to reach a pipe stub into a storm sewer under Route 10. The capacity of this pipe stub is unknown and could be quite limited. An easement across the request property to maintain this conveyance from the library will be required. Ground elevation of the property appears to be below the invert o Drainage elevation of two drainage pipes under Frith Lane which are sloped to the east. Also, stormwater from Iron Bridge Road and surrounding areas drains into the property and collects. A hydraulic head on either the pipe stub at the western corner or o the double culverts under Frith Lane requires an abundant quantity of fill material to raise the property. A drainable outfall for the project may be via an existing offsite o culvert under Lori Road which traverses Branch’s Trace Subdivision and discharges into a stream on county property in the vicinity of the Mental Health Offices. A likely location for a stormwater management facility to o accommodate this development would be on the downstream side of the culverts under Frith Lane, with ultimate outfall under Lori Road as well as the narrow northern portion of the property. 815SN0665-2015OCT28-BOS-RPT The anticipated environmental impacts of the proposal have been evaluated and recommendations are detailed in the chart below: RecommendationApplicant’s Proposal Conceptual Drainage Study Proposalwill not adversely impact the drainage for the Central Library parking lot and Lori Road Proposal will meetall required development regulationapplicable since July 1, 2014 Restrict the construction limits of the proposalto 9800 Lori Road only (exclude additional land area, Not Offered such as using a portion of the Central Library and vacated Lori Road for development) Should the conceptual drainage study reveal the need to use an existing 54” pipe under Lori Road, provide a complete analysis of the stormwater conveyance system through the Branch’s Trace subdivision to the discharge point on Chesterfield County property (GPIN# 771-663-0736).
