Proffered Conditions included cash proffers on 07SN0386 (9/2008) units in excess of 312 in the amount of $15,600. At the time of approval, two other cash proffer options were also approved : Cash proffer of $10,269 for senior units (currently escalated to $13,946).

Specific recreational amenities were guaranteed by the applicant including an indoor fitness center Design Requirements of Cases 07SN0386 and 16SN0719 The following provides an overview of the approved design requirements: General Overview Requirements Details To promote orderly development, uses identified by Master Plan tracts ĻǣƷǒğƌ {ƷğƷĻƒĻƓƷͲ /ğƭĻ ЉА{bЉЌБЏ Multi-family Development Meet R-MF standards of ordinance, except as outlined in Standards Textual Statement Maximum of 65 feet or 4 stories Building Heights ĻǣƷǒğƌ {ƷğƷĻƒĻƓƷͲ /ğƭĻ ЉА{bЉЌБЏ Elevations offered incorporate building elevations that mimic the appearance of different urban buildings Building Features connected together; specific recreational features guaranteed such as an indoor fitness center ĻǣƷǒƩğƌ {ƷğƷĻƒĻƓƷ ğƓķ 9ǣŷźĬźƷ .Ͳ /ğƭĻ ЊЏ{bЉАЊВ 517SN0597-2016DEC20-CPC-RPT Design High quality residential development addresses the Comprehensive Plan goals for strong and sustainable high density residential developments that are visually attractive, well-planned and well-maintained. Further, quality development addresses the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance to promote the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the public to include the creation of convenient, attractive and harmonious communities, protection against overcrowding of land, and protection of the natural environment. As such, developments that promote unique, viable and long lasting places and enhance the community are encouraged. The existing conditions of zoning include high quality residential design and architectural elements that will create an attractive, unique, well-planned, well-maintained and long lasting development that is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals and the zoning ordinance. It is equally important to note that the development as planned represents a significant quality investment in the area. Definition of Affordable Housing The applicant requests to amend Proffered Condition 5 of Case 07SN0386 to delete the requirement for a cash proffer payment. It is important to note that the portion of Proffered Condition 5 that defines affordable housing (5.C.) has been modified so that the definition of the term will be retained. This is necessary since Proffered Condition 16 of Case 07SN0386 specifically references the definition provided in Proffered Condition 5.C. Proffered Condition 16 limits the number of affordable housing units as are defined in Proffered Condition 5.C. to sixty (60). Appeal Case Pending before Board of Zoning Appeals The decision of the Director of Planning (Case 17AN0119) that Proffered Condition 5.A. of Case 07SN0386 requires payment of cash proffers in excess of 312 dwelling units. The case is scheduled for a public hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals on February 1, 2017. 617SN0597-2016DEC20-CPC-RPT REVITALIZATION Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt (804-318-8674) schlaudtc@chesterfield.gov While the subject property is not currently located in a designated revitalization area, it does share characteristics of revitalization areas under consideration by the Board of Supervisors. The proposal is likely to result in significant quality investment, contributing to the revitalization of the larger surrounding community. The Revitalization Office supports the proposal. COUNTY TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Jim Banks (804-748-1037) banksj@chesterfield.gov Based on trip generation rates for apartment dwelling units and a preliminary site plan for 385 units, development could generate approximately 2,460 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property would be initially distributed along Jefferson Davis Highway. Jefferson Davis Highway is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 120 to ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ. Jefferson Davis Highway is currently four-lanes wide along the property frontage. In 2015, the traffic count on Jefferson Davis Highway north of Route 10 was 25,842 vehicles per day (Level of ). Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation improvements. The property is located within Traffic Shed 14, which encompasses the area of the County bounded by I-95, Route 10, Route 288, and Chester Road. Some of the roads in this traffic shed or which serve this traffic shed are substandard, with little or no shoulders, fixed objects (trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement, and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. The traffic volume generated from this proposed residential development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which serve this shed need to be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development. Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single-family dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of $9,400 per dwelling unit as addressing the traffic impacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. According to the Office of Revitalization, the property is located within a proposed revitalization area. Under the Road Cash Proffer Policy, no road cash proffer will be accepted for development in these areas. 717SN0597-2016DEC20-CPC-RPT UTILITIES Staff Contact: Jamie Bland (804-751-4439) blandj@chesterfield.gov ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Staff Contact: Rebeccah Ward (804-748-1028) WardR@chesterfield.gov VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Brian Lokker (804-674-2384) brian.lokker@vdot.virginia.gov The proposed request will not impact these facilities. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Staff Contact: Anthony Batten (717-6167) battena@chesterfield.gov The mission of Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is to protect life, property and the environment through a comprehensive fire and life safety program that ensures an adequate and timely response to emergencies. \[1\] Estimated Number of Calls 104 Note: \[1\] Based on an average of .275 calls per dwelling unit. The proposed development is located in the urban response zone for which Fire & EMS has a goal of responding to at least 90% of the calls for service in under 7 minutes. Fire and EMS is currently unable to meet that goal. When the property is developed, the number of hydrants, quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated during the plans review process. SCHOOLS Staff Contact: Atonja Allen (804-318-8740) atonja_allen@ccpsnet.net High performing, high quality public schools contribute to the quality of life and economic vitality of the County. The comprehensive plan suggests a greater focus should be placed on linking schools with communities by providing greater access, flexible designs and locations that better meet the needs of the communities in which they are located. The School Board FY2017 adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) continues to support the 2013 voter approved school revitalization program that will replace or renovate ten schools, 817SN0597-2016DEC20-CPC-RPT and construct one new elementary school to add capacity in the Midlothian area of the county. The ten existing facilities that are part of the revitalization program are Providence Middle School, Monacan High School, Manchester Middle School, Beulah Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Matoaca Elementary School, Harrowgate Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, and Ettrick Elementary School. Additional information on the CIP can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted Budget for FY2017.
