SUMMARY The subject property is in a revitalization area. A development including a maximum of 72 townhomes is proposed, yielding a density of 4.74 dwelling units per acre. A maximum of two (2) lots/units are planned in a group/row, offering a townhome development with a unique design and building massing comparable to area single family development. The applicant has proffered design and architectural standards (discussed on pages 5 & 6) to ensure a well-designed, quality development that should serve to enhance the community. RECOMMENDATION PLANNING APPROVAL COMMISSION PLANNING - APPROVAL Proposed zoning and land use comply with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Quality design and architecture offered by the applicant provide for a STAFF convenient, attractive and harmonious community that should enhance the surrounding development.

Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service 217SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C Comprehensive Plan Northern Courthouse Road Community Plan Classification: OFFICE/RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE This designation suggests the property is appropriate for professional and administrative offices and residential development of up to 6 units per acre. Surrounding Land Uses and Development Providence Park Single family residential; Arrowhead West Providence Rd. and Chestnut Hills Single family Courthouse residential; Brandon Rd. and Solar II subdivisions Sunset Hills Dr. 317SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C PLANNING Staff Contact: Darla Orr (804-717-6533) orrd@chesterfield.gov Proposal and Modified Townhome Design The development of 72 townhomes is planned with tree-lined streets, street lights, sidewalks, open space and passive recreational amenities throughout. Development of the 72 townhomes would yield a density of 4.74 dwelling units per acre, which is less than the six (6) dwelling units per acre as suggested by the Comprehensive Plan along this portion of Courthouse Road. The applicants originally proposed 99 dwelling units (6.51 units per acre). The reduction in density is offered to address concerns of area residents that the 99-unit townhome development was not compatible with single family residential development within the Brandon and Solar II subdivisions. In addition, that original proposal exceeded the density suggested by the Comprehensive Plan, as noted above. The applicants have also responded to the compatibility concern by modifying the development from a typical townhome design of multiple attached units (up to 10 attached units permitted by ordinance) to a maximum of two (2) attached units (Textual Statement, Attachment 2), thereby the building massing and site design will be comparable to single family residential development. Original Proposal - Typical Townhome Design Current Proposal Modified Design 417SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C The development will comply with ordinance standards for Residential Townhouse (R-TH) Districts except the applicants have requested the following exceptions to accommodate their proposed design (Textual Statement Attachment 2): Reduced lot width and corner side yard setbacks Various passive recreational amenities within common areas as generally shown on the conceptual layout Increased lot coverage Accommodations for existing larger utility easements in buffer areas and buffer treatment (larger easements running parallel within buffer, taller berm, specific landscaping to maintain existing vegetation and not block solar panels in adjacent development) Permit medium instead of large street trees where necessary to accommodate certain planting needs Architecture and Building Massing The applicants propose a maximum of two (2) attached lots/units (Conceptual Layout - Attachment 3). The 72 dwellings will be within 36 buildings. With each of the dwelling units being a minimum of 1,650 square feet of gross floor area, each building will have a mass similar to larger single family dwellings in the area. (Proffered Condition 4 Attachment 1) The applicant has offered specific building elevations (Attachment 4) and other quality on below. It is important to note that an exception is requested to ordinance standards relative to building architecture (Textual Statement Item 2). The Zoning Ordinance requires buildings to be designed to avoid monotonous facades and include variety for units (up to 10 units permitted) within a building. The applicants are requesting an exception to allow similarities between the two (2) units in a building to maintain a cohesive single family residential character. Variety between buildings would be required to avoid a monotonous streetscape. 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 harmonious communities, 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 (Attachments 1 -5 Proffered Conditions, Textual Statement and exhibits): Community Design Pedestrian scale exterior lighting for pedestrian areas and walkways designed to o enhance the development Sidewalks on both sides of streets; hardscaped driveways and walks o Street trees; foundation planting beds; and sodded front yards o Open space and recreational amenities o 517SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C Buildings and Architecture Units compatible with elevations (B1 and B2 - Attachment 4) o Minimum dwelling size - 1,650 square feet of gross floor area o First floor bedroom with bathroom o Variety of frontal elevations to maintain visual interest along the streetscape o No more than 2 attached townhomes in a group o Minimum of 25% of front façade of buildings constructed of brick or stone; other o acceptable siding materials include stucco, wood, cement fiber board and vinyl (0.44 thickness) Foundations of brick or stone with brick or stone extending a minimum of 18 inches o above grade for units constructed on slab Embellished corner side facades with enhanced landscaping o 30-year roof materials (architectural dimensional shingle or better) o Front porch or entry stoop required; transom window above front door o Garage door treatment and screening of mechanical equipment o on to maintain common areas, landscaping and yards o As suggested by the Comprehensive Plan goals and the Zoning Ordinance, the proffered conditions offered with this request include high quality design and architectural elements that will serve to enhance the surrounding community. COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt (804-318-8674) schlaudtc@chesterfield.gov The project site is 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 Revitalization Office supports development in revitalization areas that represents a substantial improvement above current area conditions. On balance, this proposal (as reflected in proffers dated 6/15/18), represents a substantial improvement above conditions of older residential development west of Courthouse Road along the Providence Road corridor. Specifically, this project would be a substantial improvement in terms of: common recreational area, paved driveways, foundation planting beds, front porches, front walks, garages, homeowners association, house size, roof materials, sidewalks, siding materials, and street trees. The project would be generally equivalent to surrounding development in terms of: architectural variation, foundation treatment, house size, HVAC screening, and landscaping other than foundation planting beds. The project would be generally less equivalent to surrounding development in terms of yard trees (not specified). The Revitalization Office supports the proposal as proffered. 617SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C BUDGET & MANAGEMENT Staff Contact: Natalie Spillman (804-318-8767) spillmann@chesterfield.gov County finance staff is responsible for managing the finances of the County and making recommendations to the County Administrator regarding the allocation of available resources for the provision of services and capital facilities to serve the citizens of the County. Finance staff will advise the County Administrator if changed economic circumstances require budget or capital improvement program. COUNTY TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Steve Adams (804-748-1037) adamsSt@chesterfield.gov The applicant has proffered a maximum density of 72 townhome units (Proffered Condition 5). Based on those number of units and applying trip generation rates for a multi-family unit, the development could generate approximately 530 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property would be initially distributed to Courthouse Road. Courthouse Road is a Major Arterial with a recommended right of way width of 120 feet, as ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ. Courthouse Road is currently six-lanes wide from Midlothian Turnpike to Smoketree Drive, and four-lanes wide south of Smoketree. In 2015, the traffic count on Courthouse Road south of Providence Road was 35,454 vehicles per day (Level 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. This proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation improvements. The applicant has offered the following: Vehicular Access (Proffered Condition 13): To address citizen concerns, the applicant has proffered to limit direct vehicular access to Sunset Hills Drive to two (2) entry/exit points. Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 14): Additional lane of pavement along Courthouse Road for the entire Property frontage; Right turn lane along Courthouse Road into Sunset Hills Drive; Bike lane along Courthouse Road for the entire Property frontage; Sidewalk along Courthouse Road for the entire Property frontage; Three (3) lane typical section for Sunset Hills Drive at Courthouse Road; and, Re-striping of eastbound West Providence Road at the Courthouse Road intersection to provide for a right turn lane, if approved by VDOT. The property is located within Traffic Shed 5, which encompasses the area of the County west of Courthouse Road, north of Hull Street, and south of the Powhite Parkway. Several roads in this traffic shed or which serve this traffic shed are substandard, with little or no shoulders, fixed objects (trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement, and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. The traffic volume generated from this proposed residential development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to these roads in 717SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C excess of existing transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which serve this shed need to be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development. s road transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or 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 traffic impacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. The Policy allows the county to consider mitigating circumstances about a proposed development. Based on the volume of traffic it generates, a townhouse or a condominium, which generates 63% of the traffic of single-family dwelling unit, traffic impact could be addressed by $5,922 per unit. The traffic impact of the proposed development could be valued at $426,384 (72 x $5,922). 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.

In addition, wetlands and/or streams shall not be impacted without approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Drainage The majority of the subject properties drains to an existing area of wetlands in the northwestern corner of the property located at 10702 Sunset Hills Drive. The wetlands drain into an existing paved ditch between two residential lots (GPINs 745-691-1790 and 745-691- 2481) within the Brandon subdivision, through a culvert under Providence Terrace, through several additional paved ditches and culverts along lots within the Brandon subdivision, and into Mansfield Branch. The existing ditches and culverts in the Brandon subdivision should be evaluated to verify that the existing private properties will not be negatively impacted by increased stormwater runoff created by the proposed development. On-site detention to predevelopment rates, drainage improvements within the Brandon subdivision, or a combination of both shall be provided to protect the roadway and downstream private properties from increased erosion and flooding. The applicant has offered Proffered Conditions 17.a and 17.b to address this impact. A small portion of the subject properties currently drains north towards and into existing residential lots in the Solar II subdivision (GPINs 746-692-4949, 746-692-4047, 746-692-3347, 746-692-2545, 746-692-1843, and 746-692-1141). There is a history of drainage concerns by the existing property owners of these lots; therefore, drainage shall be designed so that runoff from buildings, sidewalks, driveways, and other impervious surfaces is directed away from these existing lots or collected in an approved drainage system. The applicant has offered Proffered Condition 17.c to address this impact. Stormwater Management The development of the subject property will be subject to the Part IIB technical criteria of the VSMP Regulations for water quality and quantity. Any areas of forest/open space used for stormwater quality compliance should be outside the limits of the residential lots. 1217SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C CASE HISTORY Applicant Submittals 6/06/17 Application submitted 4/28, Proffered Conditions, elevations, and Exhibit submitted 5/1/2017 and 4/17, 4/18, 4/19/, 6/7, 6/14, & 6/15/2018 Community Meeting 6/19/17 Issues Discussed: Minimum house size Architectural standards to include building materials, maximum height, pedestrian lighting, unit fencing Pedestrian facilities/amenities Concerns regarding cut through pedestrian traffic o Buffers and fencing o Drainage impacts Development impacts on existing well and septic systems Traffic impacts, including bus traffic 8/02/17 Issues Discussed: Building elevations, lighting, and street trees Buffers, fencing, and berms along the western property boundary Drainage impacts Anticipated price of units Impact on local schools/overcrowding Density too high Potential parking along Sunset Hills Townhomes incompatible with area single family dwellings Traffic impacts, including bus traffic District Commissioner intends to defer this case to October to allow for additional discussion and an additional community meeting 1317SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C Community Meetings (Continued) 3/28/18 Issues Discussed: New proposal for development; reduced density; maximum of 2 attached lots/units; similar building mass to area single family homes Buffers and landscaping along the western property boundary; maintenance of landscaping; shorter trees so as not to block sun from solar homes Necessity of 2-story units children; not age restricted Townhomes could become rental; strength of HOA Drainage impacts; new plan reduces imperviousness Anticipated price of units Light pollution and impact on existing wells New plan better; proposed developer builds quality homes Traffic impact along Sunset Hills; speed; maintenance of pavement Traffic impacts, including bus traffic; road improvements needed at Sunset Hills Drive and Providence Road intersections with Courthouse Road District Commissioner intends to defer this case to June to allow applicant to finalize proposal as presented; additional community meeting not planned Planning Commission 5/16/17 Action DEFERRED TO SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 ON ITS OWN MOTION WITH THE NT. 9/19/17 Action DEFERRED TO NOVEMBER 21, 2017 ON ITS OWN MOTION WITH THE 11/21/17 Action DEFERRED TO JANUARY 16, 2018 ON ITS OWN MOTION WITH THE 1/16/18 Action DEFERRED TO APRIL 17, 2018 ON ITS OWN MOTION WITH THE 4/17/18 Action DEFERRED TO JUNE 19, 2018 ON ITS OWN MOTION WITH THE 6/19/18 Citizen Comments: Efficiency of buffer along western property boundary with gas easement included in width; treatment unable to include vegetation on gas easement Building height should be limited to two-stories Impact of development on shallow wells in the area Traffic impact on Sunset Hills Drive and Providence Road intersections with Courthouse Road and area roads; infrastructure not keeping up with area growth Concern units may become rental; impacts quality of life for existing residents Townhomes too dense; incompatible with area single family use Impact of additional imperviousness on area drainage 1417SN0819-2018JUL25-BOS-RPT-C Age targeted development; each school is under capacity Designed to attract people without children Commission Discussion: Mrs. Freye stated that the design was unique and if any substantial changes are proposed, the Commission would need to approve.
