Approved road improvements/access
(6/1986)
Proposal
A development containing up to 82,000 square feet (gross floor area) of commercial, office,
warehouse or a combination of these uses is proposed. Warehouse use is first permitted in the
Regional Business (C-4) District as a restricted use, limited to a maximum of 30 percent of the
gross acreage of a property. The applicants request conditional use for warehouse uses to
exceed 30 percent of the gross acreage of the site. All other uses would be permitted as
specified under the Regional Business (C-4) District, except automobile oriented uses prohibited
in the Textual Statement (Attachment 2).
The applicants have provided for quality exterior materials on all sides of buildings in order to
maintain an office character and promote compatibility with existing and planned development
in the vicinity. In addition, bay doors would be oriented towards interior parking areas or
screened in accordance with Ordinance requirements.
Setback Exceptions
The proposal will meet the development standards of the Post Development Design District,
except as summarized in the chart below.

Staff is supportive of the setback exception from Turner Road as the proposal will create driveway
access to 211 Turner Road, which is currently planned to be developed for a therapeutic day care
center. In addition, the applicants have provided additional landscaping in this reduced setback
area that will exceed Ordinance requirements. Staff is also supportive of the reduction along the
northern property boundary. A rezoning application is currently under review by the Planning
Department (Case 18SN0747) to rezone the A-zoned portion of GPIN 762-705-8085 to C-3, which
would delete the requirement for a setback along that property line. The property listed as GPIN
763-705-1590 is landlocked and surrounded mostly by properties zoned for and/or occupied by
commercial uses. The Comprehensive Plan designates this A-zoned parcel for Regional Mixed-
Use, therefore it is anticipated that the agricultural zoning will not remain as nearby properties
are developed.
Parking Exception
The Ordinance requires different ratios for commercial, office uses and warehouse uses.
Parking for a warehouse development is based on square-footage (gross floor area) of front
counter sales and stock area, number of employees, and the number of company vehicles. Staff
agrees that this provision would be more appropriate for a single-user project, however, for a
development with a mixture of office and/or warehouse users a more standardized ratio should
apply to the overall project. The applicants request that parking be calculated at 1 space per
400 square feet (gross floor area) for any combination of office and/or warehouse uses on the
property. This provision is consistent with the Ordinance standard for warehousing that is
developed in combination with office and/or accessory retail uses.
All other uses would be required to meet parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Thoroughfare Plan, identifies county-wide
transportation needs that are expected to mitigate traffic impacts of future growth. This
request will not limit development to a specific land use; therefore, it is difficult to anticipate
traffic generation. Based on shopping center trip rates, the development could generate
approximately 3,650 average daily trips (ADT). The vehicles generated by this property will be
distributed along Turner Road, which had a 2017 traffic count of 11,000 vehicles per day.
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of
the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. The
applicant has offered:
Access Turner Road (Proffered Condition 2):
Access limited to one (1) entrance/exit to Turner Road.
Prior to any site plan approval, an access easement, shall be recorded across the
property to provide shared use of the access with the adjacent property to the north.
Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 3):
Construction of a sidewalk along the entire Property frontage to Turner Road.
Staff supports the request.
