Screening
The planned storage yard is required to be screened in accordance with Zoning Ordinance
requirements. The Ordinance provides that screening shall be accomplished by building design,
durable architectural walls; fences; or berms/other land forms. The applicants have proffered
to install an opaque fence with supplemental landscaping (to soften the view of the fence) to
screen the storage yard from Hull Street Road. (Proffered Condition 5 Attachment 1)
Since the property to the west is vacant and wooded and the storage/sales of mulch is
temporary (for 7 years), Proffered Condition 5 would permit screening along the eastern
property boundary to be delayed until such time as the property identified as Tax ID 706-668-
5603 is developed. (See Zoning Map on Page 2)

The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use that will permit operation of a mulch storage and
sales business on Agricultural (A) zoned property. Trip generation rates for the proposed use
are not available. Traffic generated by development of the property would be initially
distributed along Hull Street Road (Route 360).
Route 360 is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 90 feet, as identified on
Thoroughfare Plan. In 2017, the traffic count on Route 360 was 24,000 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:
Dedication (Proffered Condition 5):
100 feet of right-of-way along the north side of Route 360 adjacent to the property.
Vehicular Access Control (Proffered Condition 6):
Access limited to one (1) entrance/exit.
Existing access shall remain for use by existing building and conditional uses permitted
on the C-5 zoned property.
Prior to conditional use operation on agricultural (A) zoned property, existing access
shall be removed, and new access constructed towards the eastern property line.
Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 7):
Construction of a right turn lane into the new access prior to conditional use operation
on the agricultural (A) zoned property. (Note: This will result in the extension of the
existing right turn lane serving Magnolia Green Parkway intersection.)
Staff supports the request.
