C.F. Currin, Jr.
Matoaca Magisterial District
West line of Iron Bridge Road
REQUEST: Conditional Use Planned Development to permit use exceptions in a
Residential (R-7) District.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval for the following reasons:
The proposed Conditional use Planned Development is compatible with
adjacent zoning and land uses.
Through the Conditional Use Planned Development process, the Commis-
sion and Board may impose conditions which minimize the impact of
commercial development along Route 10 and preclude the possibility
of typical strip development.
CONDITIONS
The following conditions notwithstanding, the plan prepared by
Charles C. Townes and Associates, dated 5/18/84, shall be considered
the Master Plan. (P)
Parcels A, B and C shall be limited to Convenience Business (B-i)
uses plus a motor vehicle accessory store and a printing shop and
shall comply with the bulk requirements of the Convenience Business
(B-i) District, except where otherwise stated herein. (P)
Bm
Parcels D and E shall be limited to General Business (B-3) and Light
Industrial (M-I) uses and shall comply with the bulk requirements of
the General Business (B-3) District, except where otherwise stated
herein. (?)
e
Buildings shall be constructed of materials other than cinder block
or metal. The specific design and colors shall be approved by the
Planning Commission in conjunction with schematic plan review. (P)
In conjunction with schematic plan review, a site landscaping plan
shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. Plants
shall consist of ornamental trees and shrubs. (P)
Except directional signs which shall be governed by Zoning Ordinance
requirements, one (1) freestanding sign shall be permitted identify-
ing this development and the tenants therein. This sign shall not
exceed an aggregate area of 100 square feet and a height of ten (10)
feet. Individual freestanding buildings shall be permitted
building-mounted signs not to exceed an aggregate area of 0.5 square
feet for each one foot of building frontage. Business signs may be
illuminated, but shall not be luminous. Prior to erection of any
signs, a sign package depicting typical colors, materials and styles
shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. (P)
Additional pavement and curb and gutter shall be constructed along
Route 10, as deemed necessary by VDH&T and the Transportation
Department. (T)
The sixty (60) foot right of way, shown on the Master Plan, shall be
eliminated. Access to this development shall be confined to a sin-
gle private entrance/exit located =~ the gsuthcrm property linc~
This access shall be designed to allow shared use with future devel-
opment to the south. Internal private driveways shall be designed
to facilitate vehicular movements between the individual parcels and
between the parcels and the existing eighty (80) foot right of way
to the north. In conjunction with the first schematic plan submis-
sion, a plan for the overall development shall be submitted to the
Transportation Department for approval reflecting this condition.
This condition may be modified by the Planning Commission at the
time of schematic plan review. (T&CPC)
The developer shall be responsible for installing additional pave-
ment and curb and gutter along the entire property frontage adjacent
to the eighty (80) foot right of way to provide a typical section of

Use of public water intended.
Lies in Swift Creek sewage drainage area.
Public sewer not available and extension is
not economically feasible. Intends to
install individual septic tank and drain-
field systems. Private systems must be
approved by County Health Department.
Drains to Swift Creek. No existing on- or
off-site drainage and/or erosion problems.
Adequate drainage outfall must be provided
in accordance with GC-7 of the Virginia
Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. May
be necessary to obtain off-site drainage
easements.
Concrete curb and gutter should be in-
stalled around the perimeter of all drive-
ways and parking areas (Condition 9). Mas-
ter Drainage Plan should be prepared and
approved prior to release of any building
permits. (Condition 10)
Chester Fire Station, Company #1. At pre-
sent, fire service capability adequate.
Water flows and fire hydrants must be
provided in compliance with nationally rec-
ognized standards.
Industrial
The Master Plan proposes construction of a
public road between Parcels A and B. This
public road will serve only development of
the request parcel and not future area
development. The existing public road net-
work in the area provides adequate access
to the request parcel; therefore, there is
no need for public road dedication. Staff
recommends that this development be served
3 84S172/BSOCT4/PN
by private driveways. The location of the
private drive should be confined to the
southern property line and designed to
allow shared use with future development to
the south. Further, internal private
drives should be designed to facilitate
traffic movements between parcels and to
the existing 80 foot right of way which
serve the Southern Area Landfill (Condition
8). Additional pavement and curb and gut-
ter should be constructed along Route 10 to
accommodate turning movements. (Condition
?)
DISCUSSION
This Conditional Use Planned Development is to permit a commercial/
industrial complex. Parcels A, B and C, containing 3.5 acres, are pro-
posed for Convenience Business (B-l) uses and two Community Business
(B-2) uses (i.e., motor vehicle accessory store and printing shop) (Con-
dition 2). These parcels are located along, or in close proximity to,
Route 10. Parcels D and E, containing 8.3 acres, are located on the
western portion of the property adjacent to the County's Southern Area
Landfill and water tank. These parcels are proposed for General Business
(B-3) and Light Industrial (M-I) uses. (Condition 3)
Property to the north is zoned Residential (R-7) with a Conditional Use
Planned Development and is occupied by professional offices or is being
developed as a convenience store. The proposed commercial uses are,
therefore, compatible with approved land uses to the north. As pre-
viously noted, the Southern Area Landfill and County water tank are
located to the west and north. The more intense B-3 and M-1 uses would
be located adjacent to these facilities. If conditions are imposed which
control the appearance of buildings (Condition 4), require site landscap-
ing (Condition 5) and minimize the amount of freestanding signs (Condi-
tion 6), the possibility of typical strip commercial development along
Route 10 will be minimized and approval of this request would be consis-
tent with the Commission's and Board's past actions on property to the
north.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (10/16/84):
The applicant accepted the conditions on pages 1 and 2, with the excep-
tion of Condition 8. The applicant indicated that relocation of the
access as recommended by Staff would adversely affect the marketing of
the property.
84S172/BSOCT4/PN
Staff agreed to amend Condition 8 to allow the Commission to modify the
condition at the time of schematic plan review when the specific uses are
known.
On motion of Mr. Belcher, seconded by Mr. O'Connor, the Commission
resolved to recommend approval of this request subject to the conditions
on pages 1 and 2.
AYES: Messrs. Miller, Cowan, O'Connor and Belcher.
ABSENT: Messrs. Thomas and Dodd.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, November 28, 1984, beginning at 2:00
p.m., will take under consideration this request.
