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. Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service RECOMMENDATION ACTION AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS CASE ON SEPTEMBER 19, COMMISSION 2017 APPROVAL Additional access width will accommodate two-way travel in compliance with Ordinance requirements Landscaping and fencing will provide separation between the access drive STAFF and residential properties along Mockingbird Lane. Intersection improvements as offered by the applicant will increase safety for vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the vicinity Sidewalk along proposed access drive will provide pedestrian connection between existing residential uses and proposed shopping center. 217SN0826-2017SEPT19-CPC-RPT-C 317SN0826-2017SEPT19-CPC-RPT-C Comprehensive Plan Classification: CORPORATE OFFICE The designation suggests the property is appropriate for professional and administrative offices or similar uses. Surrounding Land Uses and Development Proposed Hull St Rd shopping center Single-family residential uses -Mockingbird Hill Office use Commercial/retail uses Mockingbird Ln Harbourside Dr 417SN0826-2017SEPT19-CPC-RPT-C PLANNING Staff Contact: Drew Noxon (804-796-7122) noxona@chesterfield.gov Zoning History The cases noted in the following chart affect adjacent properties to the north and east, as noted in the map below. Case Number Request Amendment of conditional use (Case 75A020) relative to deletion of an approved master plan to permit expansion of a telephone switching station and associated 01SN0131 parking. Conditions included a 20-foot access easement for the purpose of Approved facilitating a future public or private access road to serve the parcels located to (2/2001) the east and/or south of the property (Condition 4 - Attachments 5 and 6). Rezoning from A to C-3 to permit commercial uses. 07SN0152 Approved (9/2007) 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. VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Jonathan Phillippe (804-674-2560) jonathan.phillippe@vdot.virginia.gov 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. COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Jim Banks (804-748-1037) banksj@chesterfield.gov 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. 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).
