Proposal
A multi-family residential development known as Boulders Apartmentswitha maximum density of
248 dwelling units is proposed. Dwelling units will contain one ortwo-bedrooms, with a maximum of
five (5) percent of the units containing three(3)bedrooms. The development concept for the
proposed apartments consists of eight (8) buildings, three (3) stories or less in height (Exhibit A
ConceptPlan). Access to the property would be from Boulders Parkway and Boulder Lake Drive.
Development Standards and Exceptions
Except asnoted in the Textual Statement and proffered conditions (Attachments 1 and 2),
development would comply with ordinance requirements of the Multifamily Residential (R-MF)
District.Exceptions are requested to the following standards to provide flexibility in building
locations and reduce parking. Specifically, the following exceptions are requested to the R-MF
standards:
Provide 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit instead of 2 per unit
Reduce building setbacksfrom eastern boundary adjacent to existing office use, and
from the southern boundary of this same property for a building enclosing a trash
compactor
Eliminate requirement for buildings to front Boulders Parkway and Boulders Lake
Drive
58SN0734-2018JUNE27-BOS-RPT

Staff supports the requested exceptions. First, reductions in the number of parking spaces for multi-
family residential use have been approved with no apparent adverse impact and such reduction
permits less imperviousness. Secondly, the apartment buildings would be oriented to the west,
creating a back to back transition between the multi-family residential use and office buildings to the
east. Finally, not requiring buildings to front public roads permits flexibility where road frontages are
not contiguous and will accommodate environmental features, focal points, and project amenities.
Design
High quality residential development addresses the Comprehensive Plan goals for strong and
sustainable neighborhoods that are visually attractive, well-planned, and well-maintained.
Further, the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance to promote the health, safety,
convenience, and general welfare of the public includes the creation of convenient, attractive and
harmoniouscommunities, protection against overcrowding of land, and protection of the natural
environment. As such, developments that promote unique, viable and long-lasting places and
enhance the community are encouraged.
The following provides an overview of design requirements offered as part of this request

Pedestrian Connectivity and the Comprehensive Plan
While the Jahnke/Chippenham Special Area Plan,adopted in 1983, suggests that the subject property
would be appropriate for office and hotel uses, it is important to note that the Planencourages the
location of new higher density residential developments in proximity to supporting office and
commercial services. This integration with surrounding similar residential projects and commercial
services occurs through site design and the provision of road and pedestrian connectivity.

Construction has recently commenced for a connector road between Boulders Parkway/Boulder
Spring Drive and Midlothian Turnpike through the Spring Rock Green Shopping Center, located at the
northwest quadrant of Midlothian Turnpike and Chippenham Parkway, across from the Stonebridge
mixed use development. This road connection and associated sidewalk will promote a walkable
linkage between the existing multifamily developments along Boulders Parkway (Chesterfield Village
and Birchwood at Boulders) and supporting commercial and office uses located along Midlothian
Turnpike. Provision of sidewalks along Boulders Parkway should also be encouraged. This pedestrian
circulation among commercial services and neighboring residential uses becomes an important goal
in creating a sense of place and achieving development integration to support higher residential
densities.
As suggested by the Comprehensive Plan goals and the Zoning Ordinance, the proffered conditions
of this request include elevated design and architectural elements that will complement the
overall area.

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT
Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt (804-318-8674) schlaudtc@chesterfield.gov
The project site is located in a revitalization area, consistent with the criteria-based approach of
Road Cash Proffer Policy Section B.5 (as amended by the Board of Supervisors on April 26, 2017).
The Department of Community Enhancement supports development in revitalization areas that
represents a substantial improvement above current area conditions. On balance, this proposal
(as reflected in proffers), represents a substantial improvement above conditions of older
residential development in the vicinity.
Specifically, this project would be a substantial improvement in terms of: HVAC screening,
landscaping (as required by ordinance) other than foundation planting beds, roof materials,
sidewalks, siding materials, street trees (as required by ordinance), and yard trees (as required
by ordinance).
The project would be generally equivalent to surrounding development in terms of common
recreational area, foundation treatment, garages (not specified), and landscaping (as required by
ordinance).
The project would be generally less equivalent to surrounding development in terms of
architectural variation (between different buildings –not specified), foundation planting beds
(not specified), and front walks (not specified).
It should be noted that as of 2016 (the latest available data), existing housing in the surrounding
area (one-mile radius of the site) is predominately (74%) renter occupied. This figure represents
all housing unit types, including multifamily and renter occupied single-family units. The long-
term strength of the community would benefit from a wider range of housing choices.
The Department of Community Enhancement supports the proposal as proffered.

The applicant has proffered a maximum development of 248 dwelling units (Proffered Condition
5).Based onthose numbers of dwelling unitsand applying trip generation rates for a multi-family
dwelling unit, development could generate approximately 1,350 average daily trips. Traffic
generated by development of the property will be distributed via Boulders Parkway to Jahnke
Road and Midlothian Turnpike.
Boulders Parkway is identified on the County Thoroughfare Planas a major arterial with a
recommended right of way width of 90 feet. Boulders Parkway is a four-lane divided road that has
been constructed in conjunction with adjacent development. In 2016, the traffic count on
Boulders Parkway was 8,600 vehicles per day (Level of Service ‘A’).
Jahnke Road is also identified on the County Thoroughfare Plan as a major arterial with a
recommended right of way width of 90 feet. Jahnke Road is a four-lane divided road between
Powhite Parkway and Chippenham Parkway. In 2015, the traffic count on this section of Jahnke
Road was 15,655 vehicles per day (Level of Service ‘B’).
Midlothian Turnpike is identified on the County Thoroughfare Planas a major arterial with a
recommended right of way width of 120 feet. At its intersection with Boulders Parkway,
Midlothian Turnpike is a six-lane divided road. In 2015, the traffic count on this section of
Midlothian Turnpike was 60,760 vehicles per day (Level of Service ‘D’).
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needsof the
traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This proposed
residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation
improvements.The applicant has offered to provide sidewalk along Boulders Parkway for the
property frontage exclusive of the wetland areas and Resource Protection Area (Proffered
Condition 14).Other than sidewalk, the applicant has not offered to provide any mitigating road
improvements.
The property is located within Traffic Shed 1, which encompasses the northern area of the County
between Huguenot Road and Midlothian Turnpike. Several roads in this part of the county need to
be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic. The traffic volume
generated from this proposed development will contribute to an identifiable need for
transportation facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing transportation facility
capacity.
An applicant may choose to address the development’s impact on the county’s road
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or a
cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the impact on the county’s road
transportation network, Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single-family
dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of Supervisors has
adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of $9,400 per dwelling
unit as addressing the trafficimpacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be
dedicated towards improvements to the roadnetwork. The Policyallows the county to consider
98SN0734-2018JUNE27-BOS-RPT
1
mitigating circumstances about a proposed development. In this case, the residential development is
limited to multi-family uses, which generate approximately 60% of the traffic of single-family dwelling
units. Because of this, the traffic impact could be addressed with $5,640 (60% of $9,400) per dwelling
unit. The traffic impact of the proposed development could be valued at $1,398,720 (248 x
$5,640).
According to the Department of Community Enhancement, the property is located within a
revitalization area. Under the Road Cash Proffer Policy, no road cash proffer will be accepted for
development in these areas. Staff supports the request.

Geography
The majority of the subject property drains from east to west to Boulders Lake II, which discharges to
an unnamed tributary to Powhite Creek. The northern portion of the property drains directly to the
unnamed tributary to Powhite Creek. The entire property is located within the Powhite Creek
Watershed.
Natural Resources
A Resource Protection Area (RPA) Designation was completed by the applicant and reviewed and
confirmed by the Department of Environmental Engineering -Water Quality Section. RPA exists
along Boulders Lake II on the eastern portion of the property, as well as along an unnamed tributary
to Powhite Creek which transverses the northern portion of the property. A Water Quality Impact
Assessment must be submitted to and approved by the Department of Environmental Engineering
and/or the Board of Supervisors for any improvements which encroach into the RPA.
Areas of wetlands may exist on the properties and shall not be impacted without prior approval from
the US Army Corps of Engineers and/or the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Steep slopes greater than 20 percent are difficult to stabilize when disturbed. Steep slopes are
present nearthe RPA on the northern portion of the property. Disturbance of these slopes increases
the potential for sediment to impact the creekif erosion occurs. These steep slopes should remain in
their natural, undisturbed state to the maximum extent practicable.
Stormwater Management
The majority of the subject property is included within the approved Boulders Lake II CBPA Plan.
Development of theportions of the property which are covered by the approved CBPA planis
grandfathered under the Part IIC technical criteria of the Virginia Stormwater Management
Program (VSMP) Regulations for water quality and quantity until June 30, 2019, unless otherwise
extended by state regulation. Any portions of the property which are not covered by the approved
CBPA planwill be subject to the Part IIB technical criteria of the (VSMP) Regulations for water
quality and quantity.
Permanent improvements within the existing BMP and/or access easement will require a license
agreement or relocation of the easement. Any modifications to the existing stormwater
management basin will require recertification by a licensed professional.
