91SR0146June 26, 1991BS REQUEST ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION 91SR0146 Chesterfield Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 47 Matoaca Magisterial District South line of Beach Road REQUEST: Renewal of Conditional Use (Case 85S083) to permit a fraternal organization in an Agricultural (A) District. Specifically, Condition 3 of Case 85S083 granted the Conditional Use for five (5) years from the date of approval. ~]~is Conditional Use expired on July 24, 1990. PROPOSED LAAID USE: At present, the request property is vacant. However, a fraternal organization, with associated parking and driveway areas, is planned. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION RECOMP[END APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS ON PAGES 2 AND 3 AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROFFKRED CONDITIONS ON PAGE 3. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend denial for the following reasons: The proposed use does not conform to the Western Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, which designates the property for low density residential use. Although staff supported the original Conditional Use (Case 85S083), such support was contingent upon the anticipation that the surrounding area would remain relatively undeveloped for the foreseeable future. Since approval of the original Conditional Use, property to the north, east and southwest of the request site has been zoned residentially and two (2) subdivisions (i.e., Brandy Oaks and Carters Mill) are being developed in the immediate vicinity. Given the proximity of existing and anticipated residential development, the area is no longer suitable for the kinds of activities and hours of operation associated with a fraternal organization. As area residential development occurs, the potential adverse impacts upon area residents from any use that generates traffic, lights from automobiles at night, and noise will increase. The proposed use would be best located in or near established commercial or transitional areas, away from existing and emerging residential neighborhoods. However, should the Board wish to approve this request, imposition of the following conditions and acceptance of the proffered conditions would be appropriate. (NOTE: THE CONDITIONS NOTED WITH "STAFF/CPC" WERE AGREED UPON BY BOTH STAFF AND THE COMMISSION. CONDITIONS WITH ONLY A "STAFF" ARE RECOM}~EI) SOLEI~ BY STAFF. CONDITIONS WITH ONLY A "CPC" ARE ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.) CONDITIONS (cpc) (cPc) 2. Except as stated herein, development shall comply with emerging growth standards for Community Business (C-3) Districts adjacent to residentially zoned property. A 500 foot setback shall be maintained adjacent to Beach Road; Within this setback, a seventy-five (75) foot buffer shall be maintained adjacent to Beach Road. The width of this buffer shall not be reduced through the site plan review process. (NOTES: (a) Within required setbacks, existing trees eight (8) inches in caliper or greater must be retained except where removal is necessary to provide access. (b) Within the required buffer, landscaping must be provided where existing vegetation is insufficient to meet Zoning Ordinance landscaping requirements for a seventy-five (75) foot buffer.) (cpc) All structures shall have an architectural style compatible with area neighborhoods. Compatibility may be achieved through the use of similar building massing materials, scale, or other architectural features. Loading docks and drive-in doors shall be prohibited. (cpc) (cPc) (cpc) With the exception of maintenance activities, hours of operation shall be limited to between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; and between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight, Friday through Saturday. There shall be no outdoor public address or speaker system. Activities shall be limited to the following: a) Fraternal or other similar organized activities, when restricted to the interior of a building; b) Passive recreational facilities, such as picnic areas; c) Jogging and exercise trails and equipment; 2 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G d) Playgrounds and/or athletic fields provided that playfields, courts or other similar active recreational uses shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from adjacent properties and the 100 foot setback shall be landscaped per Section 21.1-228 (a) (4) of the Zoning Ordinance. (cPc) ?. One (1) freestanding sign, not to exceed fifty (50) square feet in area and ten (10) feet in height, shall be permitted to identify the use. The area of the sign may be increased by thirty-two (32) square feet if an interchangeable copy sign is incorporated. This sign shall comply with Section 21.1-266 of the Zoning Ordinance, where applicable. PROFlZERKD CONDITIONS (cPc) 1. Prior to site plan approval, forty-five (45) feet right of way on the south side of Beach Road measured from the centerline of that part of Beach Road immediately adjacent to the property shall be dedicated free and unrestricted to and for the benefit of Chesterfield County. (CPC) 2. The ditch along the south side of Beach Road shall be relocated to provide an adequate shoulder for the entire property frontage. Such relocation shall occur in conjunction with development of the property. (cpc) 3. Prior to obtaining a building permit, one of the following shall be accomplished for fire protection: For building permits obtained on or before June 30, 1991, the owner, developer or assignee(s) shall pay to the County $150 per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. If the building permit is obtained after June 30, 1991, the amount of the required payment shall be adjusted upward or downward by the same percentage that the Marshall Swift Building Cost Index increased or decreased between June 30, 1991, and the date of payment. With the approval of the County's Fire Chief, the owner, developer or assignee(s) shall receive a credit toward the required payment for the cost of any fire suppression system not otherwise required by law which is included as a part of the development. OR The owner, developer or assignee(s) shall provide a fire suppression system not otherwise required by law which the County's Fire Chief determines substantially reduces the need for County facilities otherwise necessary for fire protection. 3 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G GENERAL INFORMATION Location: South line of Beach Road, southeast of Brandy Oaks Drive. Tax Map 109-12 (1) Parcel 1 (Sheet 29). Existing ZoninR.: A Size: 14.0 Existing Land Use: Vacant Adjacent Zoning & Land Use: North - R-25; Brandy Oaks Subdivision South - A and A with Conditional Use; Commercial (100 foot communications tower) or vacant East - A; Vacant West - A; Vacant PUBLIC FACILITIES Utilities: Water: The request site lies within the Swift Creek Pressure Zone and water is supplied by the Swift Creek Treatment Plant. A sixteen (16) inch water main is~ located approximately 100 feet from the easternmost property line of the site. The results of a computer-simulated flow test indicate that adequate flow and pressure should be available to supply the domestic and fire protection needs of the proposed site. Use of the public water system is required by Ordinance (Chapter 20, Article II) and intended. Sewerage: At present, public wastewater is not available. Use of a private septic tank and drainfield system intended. Use of a private septic system must be approved by the Health Department. The Health Department has indicated that preliminary soil studies demonstrate the suitability of the area for the use of septic tank and drainfield systp_mm. 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G Drainage and Erosion: Drains to Second Branch and ultimately to Swift Creek. No existing or anticipated on- or off-site drainage or erosion probl~m~. Off-site drainage easements and improvements may be required. Fire Service: Clover Hill Fire Station, Company ~7. fire hydrants may be required. Dependent upon present locations, The proposed use will generate additional need for fire protection services. The applicant has submitted a proffered condition to address this need. (Proffered Condition 3) Transportation: Traffic information is not available for fraternal uses. Vehicles generated by this development will be distributed along Beach Road, which had a 1991 traffic count of 948 vehicles per day. The Th0rou~hfare Plan identifies Beach Road as a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has agreed to dedicate forty-five (45) feet of right of way, measured from the centerline of Beach Road, in accordance with the Plan. (Proffered Condition 1) Beach Road is a narrow roadway with minimal shoulders and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. At minimum, the ditch along Beach Road should be relocated to provide an adequate shoulder for the entire property frontage. · (Proffered Condition 2) VDOT has indicated that sight distance along Beach Road is limited and "off-site" easements may be required to provide line of sight. At the time of site plan review, specific recommendations will be provided regarding access and internal circulation. , LAND USE General Plan: Lies within the boundaries of the Western Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, which designates the property for rural density residential use (1.5 units per acre or less). Area Development Trends: The majority of area properties are zoned agriculturally and residentially and are being developed for a single family residential subdivisions (i.e., Brandy Oaks and Carters Mill) or remain vacant. Adjacent property to the south has been zoned and developed for a 100 foot communications tower. 5 91SR0146/PC/JUNE16G Zoning History: On July 24, 1985, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the Planning Commission, approved a Conditional Use to permit a fraternal organization on the request property and adjacent property to the south (Case 85S083). Conditions were imposed to address land use compatibility issues. In particular, Condition 3 of Case 85S083 limited the use to a period not to exceed five (5) years from the date of approval. The time period was imposed in anticipation that the area would experience residential development and a fraternal organization may become inappropriate in the future. Specifically, the following conditions were imposed: CONDITIONS The following conditions notwithstanding, the plan submitted with the application shall be considered the plan of development. (P) This Conditiona~ Use shall be granted to and for the Chesterfield Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #47, and shall not be transferable nor run with the land. (P) This Conditional Use shall be granted for a period not to exceed five (5) years from date of approval and may be renewed upon satisfactory reapplication and demonstration that the use has not~ adversely affected adjacent or area development. (P) (Note: If renewal is granted, more stringent conditions may be imposed depending on area development.) There shall be no outdoor lighting other than that necessary for security purposes. Any security light shall be positioned so as not to project into adjacent properties. (P) Hours of operation shall be confined to between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. (P) The proposed building shall have a brick facade and an appearance similar to the Dale Rurit~n Club building at Route 10 and Chippenham Parkway. (P) Ye The buffers and landscaping as shown on the plan shall be maintained and, where necessary to effectively screen the use, additional planting may be required. Final site plans shall reflect this requirement. (p) Prior to the release of a building permit, forty-five (45) feet of right of way, measured from the centerline of Beach Road, shall be dedicated to and for the County of Chesterfield, free and unrestricted. (T) 6 91SR0146/PC/JIPNE26G (Note: The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of thirty-eight (38) ten foot by 20 foot paved parking spaces for the 7,500 square foot building. The plan submitted with the application fails to show a sufficient number of spaces. Final site plans must reflect this requirement. Since approval of Case 85S083, a portion of the original request property has been zoned and developed for a communications tower (Case 88SN0041). The fraternal organization has not yet been developed. As noted herein, the applicant seeks to renew the original Conditional Use to allow development of the fraternal organization. Site Design: The original Master Plan approved with Case 85S083 depicts the fraternal use and associated parking centrally located on the property, well south of Beach Road. Access was provided via a driveway to Beach Road. The plan submitted with the current application depicts these facilities much closer to Beach Road, with parking located within twenty-two (22) feet of the ultimate right of way of Beach Road. It should be noted that the minimum building and parking setback along Beach Road is fifty (50) feet. As noted herein, property to the north along Beach Road has been zoned and developed for a single family residential subdivision. Given the proximity of this subdivision, a site design for any non-residential development on the request property should reflect the greater setbacks depicted on the original Maater Plan. It should be noted, however, that given the width of the property, it will be difficult to provide sufficient buffers on the west and east boundaries to protect future residential development on adjacent properties. Architectural Treatment: Condition 6 of Case 85S083 required that the proposed building have a brick facade and an appearance similar to the Dale Ruritan Club building, located at the intersection of Iron Bridge Road and Chippenham Parkway. The applicant has indicated a desire to develop the proposed fraternal organization building in accordance with this required treatment. Buffers & Screening: Condition 7 of Case 85S083 required buffers surrounding the improvements. Buffers were to be landscaped to provide effective visual screening, of improvements. The approved Master Plan depicted preservation of existing vegetation along the eastern and southern boundaries of the property and new vegetation along the western boundary and Beach Road. While the applicant has indicated a desire to develop the request property subject to these buffers, the plan submitted with the application fails to comply with these requirements. 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G Conclusions: The proposed use does not conform to the Western Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, which designates the property for low density residential use. Although staff supported the original Conditional Use (Case 85S083), such support was contingent upon the anticipation that the surrounding area would remain relatively undeveloped for the foreseeable future. However, since approval of the original Conditional Use, property to the north, east and southwest of the request site has been zoned residentially, and a subdivision (Brandy Oaks) is being developed on the property directly across Beach Road from the request site. Given the proximity of existing and anticipated residential development, the area is no longer suitable for the kinds of activities and hours of operation associated with a fraternal organization. As residential development continues to occur along this portion of Beach Road, the potential adverse impacts upon area residents, from any use that generates traffic, lights from automobiles at night, and noise will increase. Such uses would be better located in or near established commercial areas and away from evolving residential neighborhoods. However, should the Board wish to approve this request, such approval should be subject to the conditions outlined in the Recommendation portion of this "Request Analysis and Recommendation," which address the issues discussed herein (Conditions 1 through 7). It should be noted that Planning staff had recommended that if this request were to be approved, hours of operation on Friday and Saturday, be limited to between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. The Planning Commission, however, approved 12:00 midnight (Condition 4). ~ese conditions are designed to minimize the impact that this use would have on existing and anticipated area residential development and include provisions relative to site design and layout, hours of operation, outdoor activities, lighting, landscaping, parking, access, architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, utilities, buffers and screening of dumpsters and loading areas. In pmrticular, any non-residential use should be centrally located on the property to provide the maximum possible perimeter setbacks and buffers, similar to the layout depicted on the origimal Master Plan approved with Case 85S083 (Condition 2). Even with such conditions, however, staff anticipates severe land use conflicts between the subject use and future residential development. CASE HISTORY Planning Commission Meeting (4/16/91): At the request of the applicant, the Commission deferred this case for thirty (30) days to allow the applicant an opportunity to meet with staff and develop a list of conditions should the Commission and Board wish to approve the fraternal use. 8 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G Staff (4/17/91): The applicant was advised in writing that any new or revised information should be submitted no later than April 22, 1991, for consideration at the May Planning Commission meeting. Applicant's Representative and Staff (4/29/91): A meeting was held to discuss a list of conditions that the Commission and Board could impose should they wish to approve the fraternal use. The conditions discussed at the meeting, which are listed in the Recommendation portion of this "Request Analysis and Recommendation," regulate development standards, setbacks, buffers, architectural treatment, hours of operation, outdoor activities and signs for the fraternal use adjacent to existing and anticipated area residential development. Again, even with these conditions, staff anticipates severe land use conflicts. The applicant's representative indicated that he would discuss these conditions with the applicant and Matoaca District Commissioner. Staff (5/3/91): To date, no new information has been received. Planning Commission Meeting (5/21/91): The applicant accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation and submitted Proffered Condition 3 relative to fire service impacts. One (1) citizen suggested that the Conditional Use be approved for a limited time period to allow the applicants an opportunity to use the site and establish what impact the facility would have on the neighborhood. On motion of Mr. Belcher, seconded by Mrs. Warren, the Commission recommended approval of this request, subject to the conditions on pages 2 and 3 and acceptance of the proffered conditions on page 3. AYES: Messrs. Warren, Perkins, Belcher and Miller. ABSENT: Mrs. Boisineau. The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, June 26, 1991, beginning at 2:00 p.m., will take under consideration this request. 9 91SR0146/PC/JUNE26G ,4 R-25 N R-25 CARTE~3 ~'15R014~ I~ENEWAL 5H.

D. 2 ~UBJECT: Route 288 North Design Public Hearing COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION The Board is requested to approve the attached statement supporting VDOT's design for the extension of Route 288 from the Powhite Parkway interchange to the Powhatan County line. A58 ATTACHMENTS: YES ~3 NO [2] BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Transportation has scheduled a design public hearing on Tuesday JUly 16, 1991, at 7 p.m. in the Midlothian High School auditorium. A summary of the major aspects of the design follows: · VDOT's year 2007 traffic forecasts for Route 288 in Chesterfield range from 67,400 to 94,500 vehicles per day. · The project begins approximately 1.2 miles south of the Powhite/Route 288 interchange and eXtends approximately 7.5 miles to the Chesterfield/Powhatan County line. The main lanes of Route 288 are designed to accommodate a six lane facility. Two lane collector distributor roads (CD), on each side of the main lines, will begin just south of Genito Road and will extend through the Powhite Parkway interchange, the proposed Lucks Lane interchange, and the proposed Relocated Coalfield Road interchange. The CD's will terminate north of the Relocated Coalfield Road interchange. R.J. McCr~cken Director of Transportation SIGNATURE: COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR O000GO BOS-9891 Route 288 North Design June 26, 1991 Page 2 ® The existing Powhite Parkway/Route 288 interchange will be expanded to provide a full cloverleaf interchange. · Lucks Lane will be relocated as a six lane divided facility crossing over Route 288 and connecting.with existing Centerpointe Parkway. A new signalized, "urban diamond" interchange is proposed at Lucks Lane/Route 288. Route 288 and the collector distributor roads will be depressed below ground level in the Lucks Lane area to lessen the impact on surrounding neighborhoods. · A new six lane "Relocated Coalfield Road" will be constructed approximately 3,800 feet north of existing Coalfield Road. Relocated Coalfield will bridge over Route 288. A new signalized, "urban diamond" interchange is proposed at Relocated Coalfield/Route 288. Existing Coalfield Road will be bridged over Route 288. Access to Route 288 will not be provided from existing Coalfield Road. Route 288 and the collector distributor roads will be mostly depressed below ground level through the Coalfield Road Relocated interchange area to minimize impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods. · After leaving the Coalfield Road Relocated/Route 288 interchange, Route 288 will cross the Virginia Power transmission lines and run parallel to the lines toward Otterdale Road. Route 288 will bridge over Otterdale Road. Access to Route 288 will not be provided to or from Otterdale Road. Route 288 will also bridge over the Southern Railroad. ® Route 288 will pass under Route 60 and a new cloverleaf interchange will be provided. ~ After leaving the Route 288/Route 60 interchange, Route 288 will proceed northward toward the Powhatan/Chesterfield County line along an alignment slightly west of Micheaux Creek. ® Five family dwellings and five commercial businesses lie within the limits of the proposed right-of-way for Route 288 and are expected to be displaced. ~ The estimated cost of engineering, right-of-way, and construction of Route 288 North in Chesterfield County is approximately $115 million. No funds have been allocated in VDOT's current six year improvement program for the acquisition of right-of-way or construction of the project. · After considering the public hearing comments, the project will be submitted to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for their approval. ~COMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Chairman present the attached statement supporting VDOT's design for Route 288 North. 000061 ./ ./ O0006S -F oooo6a -[ 7- 00006'~ 00006~ PUBLIC HEARING STATEMENT I AM MAURY SULLIVAN, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.
