The applicant submitted a traffic impact analysis that analyzed a specific development density with presumed road improvements, based on an anticipated 20-year traffic forecast. The results of the approved TIA indicate that acceptable levels of service could be achieved. Based on the trip generation rates for the development density as outlined in the TIA (11,000 square feet of Day Care Center, 5,000 square feet of Medical Office, 36,600 square feet of Retail, 18,100 square feet of Supermarket, two 5,500 square feet High-Turnover Restaurants, a 4,000 square feet Fast-Food Restaurant, and 250 Senior Adult Housing-Attached residential units), the proposed development could generate approximately 11,200 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property would be initially distributed along Winterfield Road and Midlothian Turnpike. Winterfield Road is a collector road with a recommended right of way width of 70 feet, as identified Thoroughfare Plan. Winterfield Road is a two-lane road. Sections of the road have been improved and realigned in conjunction with residential development. Winterfield Road is condition. Thoroughfare Plan as a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 120 to 200 feet. Midlothian Turnpike is a four-lane divided roadway. In 2015, the traffic count on Midlothian Turnpike between Route 288 and Winterfield Road was 35,855 vehicles per 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 mixed-use development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation and access improvements. The applicant has offered: Maximum Development (Proffered Conditions 8 and Textual Statement IV.C.iii and iv) 11,000 square feet of Day Care Center, 5,000 square feet of Medical-Dental Office, 36,600 square feet of Shopping Center, 18,100 square feet of Supermarket, two 5,500 square feet High-Turnover Sit-Down Restaurants, and 4,000 square feet of Fast-Food Restaurant with Drive-Through Window; or equivalent traffic generation. 250 age-restricted dwelling units. Vehicular Access Control (Proffered Conditions 2, 3 and 4) Access easements to be recorded from Winterfield Road and/or from Midlothian Turnpike to permit vehicular access to adjacent parcels (Tax IDs 725-709-7211 and 725-709-5083). Access to Winterfield Road limited to one (1) entrance/exit at the existing roundabout on Winterfield Road. Access to Route 60 limited to two (2) entrances/exits. The eastern access will align with the existing crossover on Route 60 located just west of the Winterfield Road/Le Gordon Drive/Route 1115SN0656-2017APR26-BOS-RPT 60 and limited to left and right-turns-in and right-turns-out only. The western access will align with the existing crossover on Route 60 that aligns Old Otterdale Road. Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 6) Additional pavement along Route 60 at both the eastern and western access to Route 60 to provide separate right turn lanes for both accesses and at the Winterfield Road intersection. Additional pavement along Route 60 at the existing crossover that serves the western access to provide an adequate left turn lane. Additional pavement along Route 60 at the existing crossover that serves the eastern access to provide an adequate left turn lane. A large raised median within the eastern access to preclude vehicles exiting the Property from traveling east on Route 60. Full cost of traffic signalization of the western access/Old Otterdale Road/ Route 60 intersection. An additional lane of pavement along Route 60 for the property frontage. Note: A right of way dedication proffer has been offered for the improvements identified above. The proffer states that in the event the developer is unable to acq- developer may request that the county acquire such right of way as a public road improvement. All costs associated with the acquisition of the right of way will be borne by the developer. In the event the county chooses not to assist the developer in acquisition of the off-site right of way, the developer shall be relieved of the obligation to acquire the off-site right of way and shall provide the road improvements within available right of way. The property is within Traffic Shed 2, which encompasses the northwest area of the County, west of Huguenot Road and north of Midlothian Turnpike. Several roads in this part of the county have 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 mixed-use 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. residential transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the proposed residential 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 traffic impacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. The Policy allows the county to consider mitigating circumstances about a proposed development. In this case, the residential development is limited to age-restricted multi-family units, which generate approximately 31% of the traffic of single-family dwelling units. Because of this, the traffic impact could be addressed with $2,914 (31% of $9,400) per dwelling unit. As previous noted, the applicant has proffered to construct a right turn lane along Route 60 at the Winterfield Road intersection and construct an additional lane of pavement along Route 60 for the property frontage (Proffered Conditions 6.b and g). The applicant also proffered to complete these 1215SN0656-2017APR26-BOS-RPT improvements prior to an occupancy permit for any residential unit (Proffered Condition 7). The applicant has provided information (see attached) regarding the proposed residential development and a proposed apartment development planned on a contiguous parcel, generally located adjacent to the north east corner of the property. The total impact of the proposed residential development under the Road Cash Proffer methodology ($728,500) compared to cost of the two road improvements along Route 60 ($2,095,313 noted, however, that the actual cost to provide these improvements could be more or less than this amount. 1501 14010 1421 1420 1410 1406 1400 14000 1699 1424 1320 1310 14030 14040 14050 14060 14070 14020 14080 1300 TAX ID 725-709-5083 14010 14001 14000 1218 12121237 1206 1200 1231 1201 14001 1219 1225 1207 1213 14021 14011 14242 1109 13941 CASE 15SN0656 14012 1101 1105 TAX ID 725-709-7211 14236 14006 14018 14004 14024 14290 14286 14000 14030 14010 14022 14028 14008 13921 14111 1416114151 14201 14291 14301 14101 151 200 Map Reference to Proffered Condition 2.

The access locations are grandfathered through the previous zoning case and not subject to compliance with Regulation spacing standards. Summary The applicant submitted a traffic study evaluating turn lane and signal warrants for VDOT consideration. The Department concurred with the study findings in November of 2015 supporting signal warrants being met in 2035 and verification of turn lane warrants/capacity. All proffered transportation improvements will be evaluated by the Department through the County site plan review process. FIRE SERVICE 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 Midlothian Fire Station, Company Number 5 The Forest View Volunteer Rescue Squad Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs Based on an average of .1 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will generate 25 annual calls for Fire/EMS services. Additional Information 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. 1415SN0656-2017APR26-BOS-RPT SCHOOLS Staff Contact: Atonja Allen (804-318-8740) atonja_allen@ccpsnet.net Mission 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. Capital Improvements 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 Elementary School, Harrowgate Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, and Ettrick Elementary School. The project at Providence Middle School is currently in construction, a new Manchester Middle School is planned for construction on the existing school site, and the project at Monacan High School is complete. Additional information on the CIP can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted Budget for FY2017.

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 proposed 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. 1515SN0656-2017APR26-BOS-RPT PARKS AND RECREATION Staff Contact: Stuart Connock (804-751-4484) ConnockS@chesterfield.gov Mission The County supports a high-quality park system to provide residents and visitors with equitable access to active and passive recreation opportunities.
