The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Thoroughfare Plan, identifies county-wide
transportation needs that are expected to mitigate traffic impacts of future growth. The
anticipated traffic impact of the proposal has been evaluated and it is anticipated to be
minimal.
Because of the proposed access to Mockingbird Lane, modifications to the existing Mockingbird
Lane and Harbourside Drive intersection will need to be provided. After consideration of two
options and to address citizen concerns, the applicant has proffered to provide intersection
modifications as part of this request (Proffered Condition 5).

C. Proffered Conditions, Textual Statement, Exhibits, and approved conditions of Case 01SN0131 are located

SUMMARY
Access from Mockingbird Lane to an adjacent commercially-zoned parcel to the east is proposed.
Existing conditions of zoning require reservation of a twenty (20) foot wide easement through
adjacent development to the north to facilitate access (Case 01SN0131). The zoning ordinance
requires that driveways for two-way travel be 24 feet in width, and that access to non-residential
development be zoned for non-residential uses. Zoning approval is requested to provide for this
additional driveway width. Deletion of required side yard setbacks, and a required buffer along the
southern property line adjacent to residentially-zoned property are proposed to accommodate this
driveway. The applicants have offered to provide landscaping and fencing in the area abutting the
adjacent residential property, a sidewalk providing pedestrian access from Mockingbird Lane to the
proposed commercial development to the east, and improvements to the intersection of
Mockingbird Lane and Harbourside Drive.

517SN0826-2017SEPT19-CPC-RPT-C
Proposal
A shopping center is being developed on adjacent property to the east in accordance with Case
07SN0152. An access driveway from this development to Mockingbird Lane is proposed. This
ingress/egress would provide a secondary access in addition to the main project entrance on
Hull Street Road. Access to Mockingbird Lane would accommodate westbound travel on Hull
Street Road from the development using the existing traffic signal at its intersection with
Mockingbird Lane.
The adjacent commercially-developed property to the north has provided a 20-foot access
easement for this access driveway in compliance with conditions of Case 01SN0131 (reference
. This easement does not meet the 24-foot width requirement of the
Ordinance to accommodate two-way traffic. The subject property, being a portion of a
residentially-zoned lot, which is currently owned by the applicant and occupied by a single-family
dwelling, is proposed to provide this additional driveway width. Given that the Ordinance
requires access to a commercial development be located on non-residential property, the
applicants propose to rezone this strip of land to Neighborhood Office (O-1). This additional
fifteen (15) foot width would achieve the required 24-foot wide drive and accommodate
landscaping, fencing, and a pedestrian walkway connecting Mockingbird Lane to the proposed
shopping center.
Setback and Buffer Exceptions
When O-1 zoning is located adjacent to residentially-zoned property, the Ordinance requires
the provision of a 40-foot buffer which includes the required 30-foot setback for drives and
parking areas. No buffer would be required adjacent to the northern property line as that parcel is
occupied by a commercial use. The applicants propose to delete the buffer and setback
requirements along the southern boundary adjacent to R-7 zoning, and the setback requirement
along the northern boundary to accommodate the proposed access drive within the subject width
of 15 feet. The applicants have offered to provide landscaping as well as a 6-foot tall fence to
provide separation between the access road and the existing residential uses along Mockingbird
Lane.
Staff is supportive of this request as it offers the following:
a secondary vehicular access that will accommodate westbound travel on Hull Street Road
a pedestrian connection from Mockingbird Lane to the proposed shopping center
adequate separation between the proposed use and residential properties along
Mockingbird Lane
needed safety improvements for the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Harbourside
Drive.
Intersection Improvements
The applicant has offered to make roadway improvements to the intersection of Mockingbird
Lane and Harbourside Drive due to concerns shared by neighbors during two community
meetings. Two options, Option A and Option B (Attachments 4 and 5 respectively), have been
provided by the applicant to address hazardous conditions at this intersection. The Virginia
617SN0826-2017SEPT19-CPC-RPT-C
Department of Transportation (VDOT) prefers Option A because it would maintain the existing
continuous traffic flow between Hull Street Road and Harbourside Drive. Planning is supportive
of Option B as it would create a three-way stop condition which would slow down traffic and
increase pedestrian safety.

intersection is
Option A Attachment 4 (the configuration that maintains through movement on Harbourside
Drive). Harbourside Drive is the main contributor of traffic generation at this intersection as
demonstrated by a study provided by the Timmons Group and as such should continue to be
the free-flowing movement at the intersection.
Based on the analysis provided by Timmons Group, Option B Attachment 5 (realigned
intersection with stop control on all approaches except southbound Mockingbird Lane) will
operate at an acceptable level of service with minimal vehicle delay and the queues will be
contained within the available storage. Option B appears to create additional conflict points
with the introduction of the 3-way stop condition. This does raise safety concerns for VDOT.

To address citizen concerns, the applicant has offered to provide modifications at the existing
Harbourside Drive and Mockingbird Lane intersection as approved by the Virginia Department
of Transportation (Proffered Condition 4).
