of the eastern portion of the property cohesively with the bank development to the corner of
Route 10 and Lori Roads, as outlined on page 5 and Attachments 2 and 3 .

Courthouse Design District Standards
The request property is located within the Courthouse Area Design District which recognizes the
area around the historic County Courthouse and Government Complex as being unique. The
purpose of the Courthouse Area Design District is to provide standards to encourage and enhance
Colonial and Federalist architectural features that are compatible with the historic structures
within, and in proximity to, the Chesterfield County Government Complex. These standards
requirebuildings to be compatible with Federalist and Colonial architecture as exemplified by the
historic Chesterfield Courthouse and other buildings, with architectural features including
articulation of doors and windows, ornamentation, and use of certain materials and varied façade
and roof designs. Architectural compatibility with buildings located within the same project or
within the same block or directly across any road is required.
COURTHOUSE DESIGN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Subject Property
418SN0519-2018MAY23-BOS-RPT
Buildings within the proposed development will comply with the Courthouse Design District
standards except that a Conditional Use Planned Development is requested to permit varied
parapet roof designs on portions of buildings instead of full pitched roofs. (Attachment 3, Exhibit
A)
The buildings will incorporate architectural elements and materials of the design district. The
buildings are planned with quality materials; architectural features to articulate windows and
doors and to provide ornamentation; and, in wall offsets and varied roof lines. Given the zoning
ordinance requirement that architectural compatibility be achieved within a project and with
adjacent properties, the quality design and materials offered with this development is anticipated
to continue with future area development.
Exceptions to Landscaping and Setbacks Requirements
Development of the property would be required to meet site design standards of the
Courthouse Design District which address building and parking setbacks and site landscaping.
The applicant is requesting approval of conditional use planned development to permit reduced
setbacks and landscaping requirements for the eastern portion of the development (See Map
below and Textual Statement Attachment 2). Final numbers and species of plants will be
approved by the Planning Department during plans review. To offer a cohesive design for the
eastern portion of the property comparable with anticipated development at the corner of
Route 10 and Lori Road, staff is supportive of the reduction in the setbacks and landscaping, as
proposed.
