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.

Proposal and Ordinance Exceptions
A 50-lot townhome development is planned on 8.3 acres, accessed from Walmart Way and
yielding a density of 6.02 dwelling units per acre.
Conditional Use Planned Development approval is requested to permit exceptions to ordinance
standards to accommodate the proposed density. Exceptions are requested to permit the
development on 8.3 instead of 10 acres; to eliminate the requirement to provide active
recreational use/facilities for residents; and to permit reduction in setbacks as outlined in the
Textual Statement (Attachment 2).
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.
The following provides an overview of additional design requirements offered as part of this
request (Proffered Conditions Attachment 1):

Hardscaped driveways and front walks

The proffered conditions offered by the applicant address quality of the development
comparable with the surrounding area.
USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Area properties around Walmart Way are zoned for a mix of commercial and industrial uses, or
are zoned Agricultural and occupied by a single-family dwelling or remain vacant. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests light industrial and office uses behind the existing commercial as
transitional uses to Old Buckingham Road and neighboring residential developments. While the
Plan would not suggest residential uses in this area, aggregation of these vacant properties for
a higher density residential development may be appropriate in achieving land use transition
and a cohesive area development pattern along this shared access. This land aggregation is
encouraged by the Plan where development of an individual parcel is constrained in size or
shape in consideration of compliance with ordinance development standards and compatibility
or transition. Without this aggregation under a unified development plan, staff is unable to
support this request.

The applicant has committed to a maximum development of 50 units (Textual Statement II. a)
Based on those number of units and applying trip generation rates for a townhouse,
development could generate approximately 352 average daily trips. Traffic generated by
development of the property will be initially distributed via Wal-Mart Way to Midlothian
Turnpike.
recommended right of way width of 120 to 200 feet. Midlothian Turnpike is a six-lane divided
road. In 2015, the traffic count on Midlothian Turnpike between North Woolridge Road and
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 applicant has not offered to provide any mitigating road improvements.
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
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.
An applicant may choose
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or
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
717SN0793-2017AUG23-BOS-RPT
residential development is limited to townhouse units,which generate approximately 63% of
the traffic of single-family dwelling units. Because of this, the traffic impact of the townhouse
unit could be addressed with $5,922 (63% of $9,400) per unit.
The applicant has proffered to pay $5,922 per townhouse unit (Proffered Condition 3). The
Proffer allows, at the option of the Transportation Department, a reduction in the payments
based on the cost of road improvements provided by the applicant. Currently, specific road
improvements have not been identified. Staff supports the request.

VDOT will not require a connection to the W. Petty Rd. stub as a condition of street acceptance
for maintenance.
The roadway design and acceptance for this parcel (1800 and 1920 Walmart Way) is
grandfathered under the 2005 SSR regulations as the mileage added with the proposed street
layout does not exceed the mileage of the 03SN0284 street layout by more than 20%.
FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

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 Facilities

Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs
Based on an average of .322 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will
generate 16 annual calls for Fire/EMS services.

Additional Fire and EMS Comments
A second access is required for subdivisions larger than 50 lots. 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.

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
