116.9 Acres 15920 Rowlett Road
REQUEST
Rezoning from Residential (R-88) to Agricultural (A) plus conditional use planned development to
permit exceptions to ordinance requirements. Specifically, an exception to public road frontage
requirements for lots created for dwelling purposes in an Agricultural (A) District is requested.
Notes:
A.Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions
B.Proffered conditions are located in Attachment 1.
SUMMARY
In 2015, the property was zoned Residential (R-88) along with property to the west. A preliminary
subdivision plan (Case 09TS0276) was approved on the request property to permit a 44-lot
subdivision. Plans to develop subdivision were abandoned by the previous owner.
The applicant purchased the property with the intent of rezoning it to Agricultural (A) with an
exception to public road frontage requirements to permit a maximum of four (4) dwelling units on
four (4) lots created as a family subdivision. No further subdivision of the property would be
permitted. The 4-lot family subdivision would yield a density of approximately 0.03 dwelling unit
per acre.
The Transportation Department has determined that the family subdivision will have a minimal
impact on roads.
RECOMMENDATIONS

COMMISSION
APPROVAL
Proposed zoning and land use would comply with the Comprehensive
Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for agricultural and
residential use on larger acreage parcels.
STAFF
Conditions ensure adequate access in lieu of public road
As conditioned, rezoning and proposed four (4) family lots would not
have an adverse impact on existing and anticipated area development

Case Number Request
Rezone to Residential (R-88) of 232.4 acres; subject property is a part

100-lot subdivision planned; 44 lots tentatively approved on subject property
Approved
Proffered conditions addressed capital facility impacts, road improvements

and access, tree preservation and street trees, house size, foundation
treatment, retaining existing lake and restrictive covenants
Proposal
The applicant has no plans to develop the 44-lot subdivision permitted by the 2005 zoning, but
rather plans a family subdivision with a maximum of four (4) lots. A maximum of four (4) dwellings
would be permitted yielding a density of approximately 0.03 dwelling units per acre.
The subject property fronts in two (2) places on Rowlett Road, but the two areas are not 250 feet
wide as required for buildable lots in an Agricultural (A) District. Approval of a Conditional Use
Planned Development is requested for relief to the public road frontage requirements to permit
four (4) buildable lots (Textual Statement, Attachment 2). Access to the lots is planned across an
access easement from Rowlett Road as identified in Exhibit A below:

The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ, identifies county-wide
transportation needs that are expected to mitigate traffic impacts of future growth. The
property is currently zoned for single-family residential uses. The applicant is seeking rezoning
to Agricultural (A). The applicant has also requested a conditional use planned development to
permit four (4) buildable lots created through a family subdivision. Based on the circumstances
relevant to this case, the anticipated traffic impact of the proposal has been evaluated and it is
anticipated to be minimal.
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 rural response zone for which Fire & EMS has a
goal of responding to at least 90% of the calls for service in under twelve (12) minutes. Fire and
EMS is currently unable to meet that goal.
Nearby Fire/EMS Facilities
The Phillips Fire Station, Company Number 13
The Ettrick-Matoaca Volunteer Rescue Squad
Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs
Based on an average of 0.23296 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will
generate 1 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.
The Fire Department recommends the owner provide a 15-foot wide all-weather road capable
of supporting 75,000 lbs. to provide access for fire apparatus and ambulances. This road should
extend from the improved public road to each dwelling. (Proffered Condition 3)

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Staff Contact: Rebeccah Ward (804-748-1028) WardR@chesterfield.gov
Geography
The subject properties drai
drains to Swift Creek. There is an existing dam on the property which is regulated and
permitted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The entire area is
located within the Lower Swift Creek Watershed.
Environmental Features
A Resource Protection Area Designation (RPAD) for the subject properties must be approved by
the Department of Environmental Engineering - Water Quality Section prior to the submittal of
any subdivision plats, preliminary plats, construction plans, and/or building permits. Any
encroachment into the RPA will require an approved Water Quality Impact Assessment from
the Department of Environmental Engineering - Water Quality Section and/or the Board of
Supervisors. All new construction shall have a minimum setback from the RPA of at least 25
feet. In addition, wetlands shall not be impacted without approval from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and/or the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
Access
If the primary access to any residential dwelling will cross any existing stream on the properties
or the outfall channel from the existing dam, the culvert crossing must be sized to adequately
pass the 100-year storm peak discharge without overtopping the driveway and the backwater
from the 100-year storm cannot encroach onto adjacent property. In addition, any crossing
proposed over or below the regulated dam must also be approved by the Virginia Department
of Conservation and Recreation prior to issuance of a land disturbance permit for the
construction of the crossing. If the primary access crosses the FEMA floodplain, the culvert
crossing must be upgraded to meet the current floodplain ordinance, which may also include
obtaining approval from FEMA.
Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management
If greater than 2,500 square feet of total land disturbance will occur with the construction of the
primary access, a land disturbance permit will be required. In addition, the development will be
subject to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program Regulations for stormwater
management.
