FINANCIAL IMPACT ON CAPITAL FACILITIES
Budget and Management
Staff Contact: Meghan Coates (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 rezoning for a mixed use development consisting of commercial and age
restricted multi-family residential uses. Per Proffered Condition 11, this development would have a
maximum residential density of 250 dwelling units. To address the impact of this development on
capital facilities, the applicant has proffered $11,152 per dwelling unit, to be allocated pro-rata among
the facility categories for parks and recreation, libraries, fire, and roads.The applicant has not offered
any proffers to off-set the impact development may have on schools in accordance with the Board’s
policy. Under the Board’s cash proffer policy, an applicant’s cash proffer amount would remain
unchanged for a period of four years after which they would be escalated by the cumulative change in
the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index, a provision recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
The applicant’s cash proffer of $11,152 per unit negatively impacts the county’s ability to provide
adequate school facilities for its citizens.
The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, through their consideration of this request, may
determine that there are unique circumstances relative to this request that may justify acceptance of
proffers as offered for this case.
