Glenn M. Hill
Matoaca Magisterial District
Northwest quadrant of Bailey Bridge and North Bailey Bridge Roads
REQUEST: Rezoning from Residential (R-15) to Residential (R-9).
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend denial of Residential (R-9) and approval of Residential (R-12) for
the following reasons:
Ae
Residential (R-9) does not provide an acceptable lot size transition
between Glen Tara Subdivision (sections of which have lot sizes
ranging between 10,300 square feet and 11,400 square feet), Swift
Creek Farms (which has lots in excess of an acre) and the undevel-
oped R-15 property to the south and east.
B. Residential land use conforms to the General Plan 2000.

DISCUSSION
Rezoning from Residential (R-15) to Residential (R-9) is requested to de-
velop a single family residential subdivision. Property to the west is
being developed as Glen Tara Subdivision and is zoned Residential (R-9)
84Sl12/BSOCT4/HN
with average lot sizes between 10,300 square feet and 11,400 square feet.
Swift Creek Farms Subdivision lies to the southwest and is zoned Residen-
tial (R-15) with lot sizes being in excess of an acre. Property to the
south and east is zoned Residential (R-15), but is undeveloped.
Given the undeveloped R-15 property to the south and east, average lot
sizes in Glen Tara and Swift Creek Farms, a transitional zoning classi-
fication would be appropriate. Staff is of the opinion that Residential
(R-12) zoning would provide an acceptable lot size transition.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (7/24/84):
Mr. Dodd noted that the lots in Swift Creek Farms Subdivision located to
the southwest of the request site are in excess of one (1) acre.
On motion of Mr. Belcher, seconded by Mr. O'Connor, the Commission recom-
mended approval of Residential (R-12) on that part of the request site
located between Tax Map 62-12 (1) Parcel 5 and Tax Map 62-12 (2) Swift
Creek Farms, Block B, Lot 3, and Residential (R-9) for the remainder of
the request site.
AYES: Messrs. Thomas, Miller, Belcher, Cowan and O'Connor
NAY: Mr. Dodd
Board of Supervisors Meeting (8/22/84):
On motion of Mr. Mayes, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board deferred this
application for thirty (30) days, at the request of area property owners.
AYES: Unanimous.
Board of Supervisors Meeting (9/26/84):
On motion of Mr. Mayes, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board deferred this
request for sixty (60) days to allow Staff to research the zoning and
subdivision history of Swift Creek Farms.
AYES: Unanimous.
Staff (11/13/84):
The currently recorded portion of Swift Creek Farms was zoned in 1964 at
the same time the surrounding R-15 property was zoned (including the
subject property and land east of Bailey Bridge Road). Planning
3 84Sl12/BSOCT4/HN
Commission and Board of Supervisors minutes indicate it was the devel-
oper's intent to subdivide the entire acreage as Swift Creek Farms.
Tentative Subdivision approval, however, was also granted by the Planning
Commission for the entire acreage. The only portion ever recorded was
the property currently shown on County tax and zoning maps.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, November 28, 1984, beginning at 2:00
p.m. will take under consideration this request.
