PROPOSAL
A commercial development composed of multiple outparcel buildings is planned(Attachment 3). A
site plan for EVB Bank is currently under review on the western portion of the request properties.

Request II – Conditional use planned development on the entire five (5) acre tract to
permit exceptions to parking setbacks, location of parking areas and internal circulation.
The following provides an overview of proffered conditions offered by the applicant to minimize
the impact of the use on area properties:

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The property is located within the Route 10 East Design District, which regulates setbacks for
buildings, drives and parking areas in commercial zoning districts. Its purpose is to provide
development standards that reinforce and complement area development, as well as reduce
access points to Route 10. These standards have been applied to recent area developments along
Route 10 since adoption by the Board of Supervisors in December 2006.
The applicants are requesting several exceptions to these development standards as outlined in
the following table:

Internal Circulationaccess between and 4655 (370 & 380 East
properties Hundred Road)
Textual Statement, Item 2
After reviewing the applicant’s request and conceptual site plan, staff cannot determinean
adequate justification to support these exceptions. The building and parking areas nearest Route
10 could be modified so that the parking area is located to the rear of the building. In addition, the
conceptual site plan currently shows that the planned parking areas would meet the required forty
(40) foot setback. A shared access roadway, internal to the development, couldalso be
constructed to the easternmost property (Tax ID 816-652-4655) by way of crossing a small ravine.
While this environmental feature is present, this feature is not so substantial to preclude a shared
access drive entering this parcel from the west. These exception requests are not based upon
unique site conditions, such as topographical or environmental features, but rather a preference
to locate parking areas that are visible to Route 10 and delay the phasing of the shared access road
to the east.
