REQUEST
(Amended) Amendment of zoning approval (Case 14SN0573) to amend cash proffers and
architectural standards in a Residential (R-25) District. Specifically, the amendment is proposed to
modify Proffered Condition 2 relative to cash payments and Proffered Condition 5.C.2. to exclude
vinyl siding as a permitted material for exterior building facades.
Notes:
A.The only condition that may be imposed is a buffer condition. The property owner may proffer conditions.
B.Revised proffered condition and approved zoning conditions are located in Attachments 1 and 2.
C.AMENDMENTS TO THIS APPLICATION WERE MADE AFTER PUBLIC ADVERTISEMENT OF THIS CASE. IT
WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THE BOARD TO UNANIMOUSLY AGREE TO SUSPEND THEIR RULES TO
CONSIDER THESE AMENDMENTS.
SUMMARY
A single-family residential subdivision (The Landings at Swift Creek) is under development. Existing
zoning permits a maximum of 61 dwelling units, of which 43 would be impacted by this request.
The current cash proffer amount is $20,341 per dwelling unit. Considering the 43 units, the
current total potential value of the approved cash proffer equates to $874,663. The applicant has
requested to reduce the cash proffer amount to $9,400 per dwelling unit, equating to total
potential value of $404,200.
The applicants have amended the application to eliminate vinyl siding as a permitted exterior
siding material. Existing zoning conditions and those proffered with this case provide design and
architectural standards (summarized on pages 6 and 7) that are comparable in quality to that of
the surrounding community.

SUMMARY OF IDENTIFIED ISSUES
Department Issue
Post 2020, the tƌğƓ recommends a new elementary school in the vicinity of
Hull Street and Otterdale Roads, east of Skinquarter Road and south of
Duval Road, a new middle school in the vicinity of Hull Street and Otterdale
SCHOOLS Roads, and a new high school in the vicinity of Genito and Otterdale Roads
northwest of Swift Creek Reservoir. However, at this time a budget has
not been developed for the acquisition of land or construction of these
school facilities as recommended in the tƌğƓ.
The tǒĬƌźĭ CğĭźƌźƷźĻƭ tƌğƓ suggests the Clover Hill library should be
expanded/replaced or a new facility shall be constructed in the general
vicinity at or near current site. Land for expansion or replacement of this
LIBRARIES facility or new facility is being acquired. The tƌğƓ additionally recommends
a new library in the vicinity of Genito and Otterdale Road to address
service gap and demand issues related to increases in population
anticipated in this area of the county. Land for expansion or replacement
of this facility or new facility has not been acquired.

The property could be developed for 43 lots. Based on those numbers of lots and applying trip
generation rates for a single-family dwelling, development could generate approximately 470
average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property will be initially
distributed along Woolridge Road.
Woolridge Road is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 90 feet, as
lridge Road is currently a two-
lane road. A project is currently underway to widen Woolridge Road to a four-lane divided road.
That project is anticipated to be completed by 2018. In 2015, the traffic count on Woolridge
Road south of Genito Road was 13,600 vehicles per day.
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 6, which encompasses a large area in the western part of the
County. Many of the 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 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.

a cash proffer. If
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. As such, if the applicant

of a cash proffer, $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be
appropriate.
The applicant has proffered to pay $9,400 per dwelling unit. Staff supports the request.
FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Staff Contact: Anthony Batten (804-717-6167) 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 Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad
Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs
Based on an average of .09128 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will
generate 4 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
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 FY2018 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 FY2018.
