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.

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.

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.
