SUMMARY
Expansion of an existing quarry into an area currently occupied by an asphalt and concrete plant is
planned. Retention and relocation of the asphalt plant from the northern to southwestern portion
of the property is proposed to accommodate this quarry expansion. Access to the plant, which is
currently provided from Warbro Road, is proposed from Memphis Boulevard. Use of Memphis
Boulevard is limited by conditions of zoning, necessitating an amendment to permit this proposed
plant access.

plants, and stockpile area occurred between 1976 and 2001.
Rezoning to General Industrial (I-2) with conditional use on 264.6
acres to permit mining and quarry operations and conditional use
planned development on 50 acres of this tract to permit an asphalt
09SN0214 plant, concrete plant and stone products manufacturing not
Approved accessary to quarry operations. Approval of this request permitted
(8/2009) expansion of operations west of the Dominion Virginia Power
easement and consolidated regulation of the quarrying, stone
processing, stockpiling, asphalt and concrete operations under one
set of development requirements.
Proposal
A quarry, operated since 1972, occupies the 264.6 acre property. Expansion of the quarry pit
is proposed. This expansion will include the 8.7 acre area noted on the 2009 Master Plan as
Exhibit A - Attachment 4).
With this proposed expansion, the asphalt and concrete plants must be relocated.
Conditions of the 2009 zoning approval permit changes to the location(s) of these plants
during the life of the quarry, subject to use of no more than thirty (30) percent of a fifty (50)
acre portion of the overall tract (Attachment 3: Case 09SN0214-Textual Statement Item 3).
The applicants propose to relocate the asphalt plant to the southwest portion of the
property, as generally shown on Attachment 2. According to the applicants, the concrete
batch plant will be relocated off-site.
Currently, the asphalt plant uses Warbro Road as access to and from the quarry property.
With relocation of the plant, access is proposed from Memphis Boulevard to provide a more
direct route to Hull Street Road and Route 288. Conditions of Case 09SN0214 limit use of
Memphis Boulevard to office buildings (maximum of 30,000 square feet), associated
buildings, and access to ponds, the power easement and overburden storage areas
(Attachment 3 Proffered Condition 7.B.). As such, an amendment to Case 09SN0214 is
requested to permit use of Memphis Boulevard for the asphalt plant access.
Conditions of Case 09SN0214 will continue to provide for a 100-foot buffer along the western
and southern property boundaries as depicted in Exhibit A (Attachment 4).

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.
Proffered Condition 7.B of Case 09SN0214 limits access from the property to Memphis
Boulevard primarily for 30,000 square feet office. The applicant is requesting an amendment
to that proffer to allow access to Memphis Boulevard primarily for an asphalt plant and
associated office buildings. Memphis Boulevard intersects Hull Street Road (Route 360) at a
traffic signal. The anticipated traffic impact of the proposal has been evaluated and it is
anticipated to be minimal.
