APPLICANT’S REQUEST
Amendment of zoning (Case 13SN0520) relative to the modification of in-kind improvements to
permit a cash proffer paymentin a Community Business (C-3) District.
A thirty-seven (37) dwelling unit multi-family apartment building is planned. To mitigate the
building’s impact on capital facilities, the developer committed to construct in-kind
improvements (between forty (40) and seventy (70) parking spaces) at the Chester Library, prior
to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any dwelling unit. The applicant now requests
the option to provide a lump-sum payment of $201,600 to the county prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for any dwelling unit rather than constructing the in-kind improvements.
The lump-sum payment of $201,600 would be used for parking lot improvements to serve the
Chester Library.
Note:
Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions.

maximum number of bedrooms for each dwelling unit.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON CAPITAL FACILITIES
Budget and Management
Staff Contact: Meghan Coates(804-717-6220) coatesm@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 applicant has requested to amend Condition D of 13SN0520. The proffer still includes the
option to provide in-kind improvements to serve the parking needs of the Chester Library and
future Chesterfield Center for the Arts. The applicant is still proffering to provide a minimum of
40 spaces, and up to 70 spaces, provided the cost does not exceed $201,600. Should the cost of
40 spaces be less than $201,600, the applicant would continue to provide additional spaces
until that dollar threshold has been reached.
The update to condition D includes the option to provide a lump-sum payment of $201,600 to
the county prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any dwelling unit rather than
constructing the improvements themselves.
The Cash Proffer Policy also allows a rezoning application within five years of the original case’s
approval to be evaluated to determine if the application constitutes a minor modification. If so,
the Board of Supervisors may determine that the previously accepted cash proffer amount, if
offered, adequately addresses the capital impacts of the modified development proposal
(Section B.6.). The Board previously approved this case with the proffers as written and there is
no change in density requested. This proposal doesn’t materially affect the proffers as
approved in 13SN0520 and falls within the five year window for minor modifications.
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been
reviewed, and it has been determined that, due to this change being considered a minor
modification, it is appropriate to accept the proposed modified condition D as offered in this
case.

The applicant’s request is a minor modification of an approved proffer condition for in-kind
improvements at the Chester Library and future Chesterfield Center for the Arts. With this
request providing the developer an option to provide in-kind improvements for parking spaces
adjoining the Chester Library or equivalent cash proffer payment, no objection to the
applicant’s revision of Proffered Condition D (Attachment 1) is noted.
