Classification: RESIDENTIAL & OFFICE*
The designation suggests thewestern portion of theproperty is appropriate for 1.5 dwellings per
acre or less and the eastern portion for professional and administrative offices.
* Note 5 of the Plan refers to the office designation, noting officeuses should be residential in
character, with all parcels aggregated fordevelopment to include closing the Berrand crossover or
restrictingturns, or providing a new access to Courthouse Road to align with the Reams Road traffic
signal. Withoutaggregation, the initial development would provide these road improvements.

Proposal
Rezoning the property from Agricultural (A) to Residential Townhouse (R-TH) is proposed. The
development would include a maximum of 62 age-restricted single-family detached
condominiumunits, yielding a density of 2.8 dwelling units per acre (Textual Statement, Item 4).
Comprehensive Plan & Density
The Comprehensive Plan suggests the western-most 17.7 acres of the property is appropriate for
residential development at a maximum density of 1.5 dwelling units per acre. While the eastern-
most 4.5 acres of the property is suggested by the Plan for office use, the proposal to aggregate
this property with the adjacent western property as part of a unified development plan may be
appropriate. The project density at 2.8 dwelling units per acre is above that suggested by the Plan,
however the development is self-contained and accesses directly on a major arterial, minimizing
its impact on neighboring residential developments. It should be noted that existing adjacent
residential developments range from 0.8 to 2.4 dwelling units per acre.
Design
High quality residential development addresses the Comprehensive Plan goals for strong and
sustainable neighborhoods that are visually attractive, well-planned and well-maintained.
Further, the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance to promote the health, safety,
convenience and general welfare of the public includes 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.

Planning initially was not supportive of some design and amenity elements offered in the
project. This position was reflected in the original recommendation. Staff recently conducted a
field visit on a similar community under construction in the City of Richmond. The community,
known as Archer Springs, is being developed by the applicant. Archer Springs contains
community recreation facilities, streetscape amenities, as well as dwelling design and building
materials that are comparable with the applicant’s request.Based on the applicant’s proffered
conditions as well as seeing the level of quality design elements incorporated in Archer Springs,
Planning now supports the applicant’s request.
As suggested by the Comprehensive Plan goals and zoning ordinance, the proffered conditions
include design and architectural elements compatible in quality to the surrounding community.

Based on trip generation rates for senior adult housing-detached,and the maximum density of
62 dwellings, the proposed development could generate approximately 309 average daily trips.
Traffic generated by development of the property would initially be distributed along
Courthouse Road.
Courthouse Road is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 120 to 200 feet,
as identified on the County’s Thoroughfare Plan.
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. The
proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation
improvements on Courthouse Road, such as right of way dedication in accordance with the
Thoroughfare Plan, access control, a turn lane, and a sidewalk. The applicant has offered:
Vehicular Access Control (Proffered Condition 18)
limit access to North Courthouse Road to 1 entrance/exit.
Improvements (Proffered Condition 19)
construct a right turn lane along North Courthouse Road.
construct a sidewalk along North Courthouse Road for the entire property frontage.
The property is within Traffic Shed 3, which encompasses the area of the County west of
Courthouse Road, north of Powhite Parkway, and south of Midlothian Turnpike. Several roads
in this area of the County have been widened to four or six lanes. However, some roads in this
part of the County will need to be improved or widened. The traffic volume generated from the
proposed residential development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation
facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. These
roads need to be improved to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the
increased traffic from the proposed development.
An applicant may choose to address the development’s impact on the county’s road
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or
a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the impact on the county’s road
transportation network, 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 trafficimpacts of residential development, with all of
the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. The Policyallows the
County to consider mitigating circumstances about a proposed development.
In this case, the proposed development is limited to age-restricted detached townhouse units.
The applicant collected traffic generation data at a similar development in the county. The
traffic data indicates that the average townhouse unit in that development generates
1016SN0586-2017MAR15-BOS-RPT
approximately 41% of the traffic of single-family dwelling unit. Because of this, the traffic
impact of the proposed development could be addressed with $3,854 (41% of $9,400) per
dwelling unit. The applicant has offered to pay $3,854 per dwelling unit for road infrastructure
improvements (Proffered Condition 21). Staff supports the request.

FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Staff Contact: Anthony Batten (717-6167) battena@chesterfield.gov
Mission
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.
Response Times
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 seven (7)minutes. Fire and
EMS is currently unable to meet that goal.
Nearby Fire/EMS Facilities
The Courthouse Fire Station, Company Number 20
Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs
Based on an average of 0.11 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will
generate 7 annual calls for Fire/EMS services.
Additional Fire and EMS Comments
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
Countywide School Needs
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 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 ElementarySchool, 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.

Note:
\[1\] Based upon average number of students per single family dwelling unit countywide at 0.48 students per
unit.
After review of this request for 62 age-restricted dwelling units, the proposed rezoning case
may have minimal impact on school facilities. Recent research on the actual student yield from
age-restricted housing reported in April 2016 revealed that there was a small yield (four
elementary students out of the total school population) from all age-managed dwelling units. It
is possible however, that over time this case combined with other tentative residential
developments and other zoning cases in the area will continue to push schools to their capacity
and therefore impact the capacity of facilities division-wide.

not been acquired.
The Bikeways and Trails Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan recommends provision of
pedestrian/bicycle facilities along all routes shown on the Plan and connections from these routes
and existing pedestrian/bicycle facilities to adjacent developments. The plan recommends a route
along Courthouse Road, a portion of northeast boundary of the applicant’s project. This segment
of the route, for bicycle facilities, has already been completed with a prior road project and no
additional improvements are required.
The applicant has made provisions for pedestrian facilities, a sidewalk, along Courthouse Road for
entire length of property.
