Subject: Contract Award for the Meadowdale Boulevard CDBG Project and the Dundas Road CDBG Project County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: The Board is requested to award a contract for the Meadowdale Boulevard and the Dundas Road CDBG projects. Summary ofinformation: In July, 1995, the Board approved $87,000 in CDBG funds for the Meadowdale Boulevard Sidewalk and Landscaping project from Hopkins Road to Lucky Lee Crescent. The Board also approved the allocation of $15,000 in CDBG funds for the Dundas Road Sidewalk project from Allerton Street to the Bensley Fire Station. In June, 1996, the Board approved $87,000 additional CDBG funding for the Meadowdale Boulevard project. Bids were received for the Meadowdale Boulevard project and the Dundas Road project on October 8, 1996. Simons Contracting, Inc. submitted the low bid of $148,848 for the Meadowdale Boulevard project and the low bid of $35,000 for the Dundas Road project. The Meadowdale Boulevard project bid is $26,750 more than the engineer's estimate but within funds budgeted for the project. The Dundas Road project bid is $13,645 more than the engineer's estimate and exceeds funding allocated for the project. (Continued on next page) Preparer: R.J.

The measure was discussed at a Commission work session held on August 20 and were adopted unanimously at their meeting of October 15. At that meeting no objections were raised to the proposed ordinance amendment. The intent of the amendment is to apply the safety and perimeter yard criteria for retention and detention basins contained in Section 21.1-229.6 of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance to all such basins that are required by the Environmental Engineering Department. Currently, the criteria only apply to those basins that are required in conformance with the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance. There are many basins, however, that are required for storm water quantity purposes that raise the same safety issues as those built under the guise of the Chesapeake Bay Program. Please note that this measure would not require safety and perimeter yard criteria for ds or basins that are built solely for aesthetic purposes.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For many years Central Chesterfield County has built on a multitude of strengths: diverse, healthy neighborhoods; long established local business; proximity to many of the region's major employers; and the developing commercial centers located near the County's Airport and Government Center Complex. While areas closer to Midlothian Turnpike and Route 360 have grown at a faster rate, the Central Area is established and familiar, and in many ways the heart of Chesterfield County. Its strength is derived from the uniqueness created by the integration of the various parts: living and working. The Central Area Plan builds on these unique strengths to help effectively guide the area's future. Important issues addressed in the Central Area planning effort include: How the forces of change are affecting established neighborhoods and businesses in the Cen- tral Area, and what the demand will be for new housing, commercial and industrial uses. · Recognizing the importance of the Chesterfield County Airport to the County's future economic vitality. · The protection of existing and proposed industrial areas from conflicting land use development. · The recognition of neighborhoods as the building blocks of the County and its quality of life. · Understanding that area businesses and neighborhoods need to work together to address com- munity concerns. · Providing adequate public facilities to address the impact of development. Key recommendations of the plan include: · Expanding the recommended complementary light industrial land uses around the Chesterfield County Airport. The Community Initiative, a program devoted to building stronger neighborhoods, encourages residents and businesses to work together. Specific strategies for the Meadowbrook Area Community include: · Marketing the community through a campaign that is implemented by many stakeholders, including residents, businesses, real estate agents, community schools and the County. · The formation of neighborhood organizations. · Increasing community visibility by promoting the use of signs, markers, and events which are unique to the Meadowbrook Area Community. · A phased streetscape project to visually enhance the Hopkins Road/Meadowdale Boulevard Corridor. Recommending physical improvements to Meadowbrook High School to bring it into parity with other County high schools. The design of this upgrade should also provide for the school's use as a community and recreation center for the Meadowbrook Area Community. New County property maintenance improvements, including identifying areas for tax breaks related to home improvement activities, recommending code inspection and enforcement for single family rental property, and enhancements to the County's existing approach to code in- spection and enforcement.

A community of diverse neighborhoods, the Central Area offers opportunities that fill a variety of housing needs: from mature, settled neighbor- hoods of substantial homes to neighborhoods of starter homes as well as a variety of multifamily dwelling units that may be the choice of a recent college graduate or a senior citizen. Employment opportunities existing in the Central Area include the .developing office center near the Courthouse and a light industrial/office park area developing around the County's airport. As in any community, there are some dilemmas. In some instances, the Central Area's development pattern has resulted in incompatibility between land uses. Few neighborhoods reap the benefits of having established neighborhood organizations to open the lines of communication. Predicaments facing maturing neighborhoods, such as aging housing stock in need of rehabilitation and vacant commercial establishments, may be on the horizon not just for the Central Area, but for Chester- field County as a whole. All in all, however, the Central Area fits the image of a livable community -- a community of healthy neighborhoods and profitable businesses. These assets of livability and economic vitality must be preserved and strengthened as we plan for the future. Striving to do just that, the plan should be used by the public officials and citizens who will shape the area's future. How This Plan Works The Central Area P/an should be used as a general guide for decisions, both public and private, affecting the future of the Central Area. In Chesterfield County, plans for physical growth are adopted by the Board of Supervisors and become part of the "Plan For Chesterfield," the County's comprehensive plan. Once recommended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the Central Area Plan will replace parts of the original Central Area Plan and Northern Area Plan, both approved in 1986. The Central Area Plan also includes a small area below Route 10 between Rt. 1/301 and Interstate 95. Land use recommendations for this small geographic area will be reviewed by a future planning effort (See Map G) A Plan For Action The following major components are found in the CentralArea Plan: · Existing Conditions and Critical Issues: This information forms the factual basis for the goals, recommendations and implementation strategies found in the plan. Goals: These goals are general statements about what is desirable for the future - what the plan attempts to accomplish. Recommendations: These are statements on ways to reach goals, and what general actions should be taken to achieve them. · The Land Use Plan: This plan will be used as a general guide for future land use decisions. · Community Initiative: More detailed than recommendations, the Community Initiative contains specific steps to carry out a strategy for the Meadowbrook Area Community.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS The Importance of Citizen Participation How can we make informed choices about our future, recognizing that the decisions we make now will affect the kind of community we become in the years ahead? The mission of this plan is to position the Central Area to take advantage of opportunities for the future, mitigate threats, and act rather than merely react to the inevitable economic, social, and physical changes ahead. The plan proposes those actions that will have the greatest positive impact on the future of the Central Area. Offering a means for making informed public choices, the plan will serve as a guide for officials making land use planning and policy decisions. Public Involvement Recognizing the increased expectations and need for citizen involvement in the planning process, citizen meetings were held in six geographic areas of the Central Area. Over thirty public meetings open to all citizens were sponsored by the Planning Department. The citizen participation process provided an opportunity for Planning Department staff to listen to citizens talk about what they loved about their community, as well as what concerned them most about their community and its future. The process encouraged citizens to discuss their basic values and viewpoints with staff and with each other. Although attendance was Iow at a few meetings, a good number of citizens participated in the process by identifying problems and opportunities that affected their neighborhood's future. Two neighborhoods decided to expand their participation by undertaking a visioning process that re- suited in the creation of vision statements reflecting a picture of the desired future for their com- munity. The following vision statements were crafted by citizens from the Meadowbrook neighbor- hood and the Newbys Bridge Road neighborhood.

Further, we envision a community that fos- ters pride in our homes, businesses, and organizations." Newbvs Brid_ae Road Vfsion: "We envision our community to be an attractive development match- ing the current atmosphere, keeping the rural atmosphere as much as possible.

Information about the Central Area was gathered from many sources, including the 1995 consultant report "The Market Analysis for the Central Area." An understanding of the characteristics and trends that influence development potential in the area provides a sound basis for planning and policy decisions that will shape the Central Area's future. The following section presents background information relating to existing conditions in the Central Area. Demographic and Economic Trends The following information from the 1990 US Census, along with other data gathered for this plan, presents a useful profile of the Central Area's population and economic trends. Population Growth: Past growth in the Central Area has been relatively similar to County wide trends. By 1994, the number of people in the Central Area reached 60,097 persons, approxi- mately 25 percent of Chesterfield County's total population. Age Groups: Consistent with trends for the County, the area's 50 and older age group has been expanding since 1980, reaching 9,291 by 1990. As their numbers increase, it is anticipated that many may wish to continue to reside in the same area. Income: The 1990 median household income in the Central Area was $41,033, which was slightly lower than the $43,604 median income for all Chesterfield County. Employment: Growth in the employment base, associated with new households and changes in existing households within the market area, is expected to add new workers by 2010. The of- fice sector will continue to be the Central Area's largest employer. · Home ownership: While homeowners are clearly in the majority within the Central Area, renters comprised a slightly larger percentage (23 percent) than County wide (21 percent) in 1990. 80,000~ 70,000-? 60,000- 50,000 40,000 30 20 10,000-~ 04_ CHART 1: Selected Demographic Trends in the Central Area, 1980 to 1990 Population Households Median Housing Income Units Median Housing Value ~m198o{ ~199oi DRAFT c3 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan Land Use The Central Area encompasses roughly 24,718 acres. As illustrated on the existing land use map (Map B) and Chart 2, the predominant land use in the Central Area is residential. The land use map illustrates the employment center located near the intersection of Route 10 and Route 288. Land Availability: Approximately 28 percent, 6791 acres, of the Central Area is currently unde- veloped. The majority of this undeveloped land is located in the central and western portions of the Central Area and is zoned for residential use. Numerous vacant parcels zoned commercial or office exist along Route 10. Residential Development: Residential development accounts for approximately 14,000 acres, or 56 percent of the total acreage in the study area. This residential development includes a vari- ety of residential mixes, including the maturing neighborhoods of the north central portion of the study area, newer single family subdivisions in the western and southern portions of the study area and multifamily dwelling units located throughout the study area. Variety: Development of the Route 10 Corridor, having taken place over several decades, has resulted in a mix of land uses, including residential, commercial, office, public and open space. A significant number of parcels along the Route 10 Corridor are undeveloped. Chesterfield County Airport: According to the market analysis, the airport represents a competi- tive advantage to the County in terms of economic development. There is currently significant vacant acreage with good access adjacent to or near the airport that is presently not zoned in- dustrial. Current land uses immediately bordering the Airport are predominantly industrial and rural residential. The Airport Industrial Park borders the Airport on the southwest, with Poca- hontas State Park southwest of the industrial park. Compatibility: Growth and its associated impacts raise two important issues of land use com- patibility. Low intensity and medium intensity residential land uses are located to the northwest, north and east of the airport. There have been some issues of land use incompatibility, primarily related to aircraft noise, between the airport and the surrounding residential community. Noise is inherent to aircraft operation and must be carefully considered in future land use recommen- dations.

North Arrow Prepared by the Chesterlield County Planning Department January, 1996 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan Economic Growth and Business Development Information concerning the existing economic conditions in the Central Area shed light on the area's role as a key employment center. Over 5,000 people work for the area's major employers. Besides County government, major employers are mostly industrial concerns. The County's 1994 Chester- fielct Airport Industrial Park Directory identifies over 100 businesses that are located in the industrial park adjacent to the County's airport. "The Market Analysis for the Central Area," a private consultant study commissioned by the County, provides insight about residential and non-residential economic trends. Enhanced under- standing of the market potential for new growth, along with other planning factors, can be useful as a guide in planning for the future vitality of the Central Area. In general, the market analysis finds that there is potential for growth throughout much of the Central Area. Housing: The Central Area currently contains about one-third of all housing units in Chesterfield County. The area also contains about 33 percent of all Chesterfield's multi-family housing. Most of the projected new households in this area are likely to be accommodated by infill develop- ment. Over the next ten years, it is expected that about 250 to 350 additional occupied units or households will be added to the northern central area. In the southern section of the Central Area, where there is a significant amount of vacant land, growth of about 400 to 600 addi- tional units and households are expected. Commercial Services: The northern portion of the Central Area will have continued vitality by focusing on convenience niche commercial. Strong growth is expected in the southern portion of the Central Area, most likely to be associated with large value oriented general merchandise operations. Office: The market analysis found growth demand for private sector office space for the area near and around the Chesterfield Courthouse Complex. The anticipated absorption of office space for the Central Area over the next ten years is estimated to be 250,000 square feet. Light Industry: Demand for light industrial development is focused on airport and potential spin- off activity. Currently, few industries in the immediate vicinity of the airport use the facility with any regularity. Yet, with additional properly zoned land, ample opportunity exists to expand the industrial base with potential users of the airport facility. The market analysis finds this expan- sion particularly important to overall economic development activity for Chesterfield County's future. Public Facilities and Transportation In planning for the future growth and development of the Central Area, the adequate provision for community facilities and public services is an important issue. Map C identifies existing public facilities in the Central Area, including schools, fire stations, parks, and libraries. The Central Area is also home to Pocahontas State Park. Proposed future public facilities are outlined in the County's 1995 Public Facilities Plan. (Copies are available from the Planning Department.) Water and Sewer: The majority of the Central Area is served by an extensive public water and sewer system. Current County policy requires that the cost of extensions of the public water and sewer systems to serve new development be borne by the developer. Chesterfield County Government Center: The Chesterfield County Government Center is situ- ated in the center of the Central Area. A 1989 plan adopted for the government center envi- sions, over the long term, the historic courthouse area developing into the symbolic center of County government. Transportation: The existing thoroughfare system of the Central Area is oriented to serve both local traffic and traffic to and from other areas of the region, particularly the northern area of Chesterfield County, the City of Richmond and the tri-cities area to the east and south.

THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan County's adopted Thoroughfare Plan (adopted in 1989) illustrates the County's long range plan for a transportation network. Map D displays the adopted Thoroughfare Plan. Proposed Public Facilities: Recommendations for future public facilities are found in both the County's Capital Improvement Program and the Pub//c Fac/#t/es P/an. The following recommen- dations from the Pub//c Fac/i/ties P/an are within or adjacent to the Central Area: Build a new fire station in the Centralia area by 2000. Build a new fire station in the Rockwood (vicinity of Courthouse Road and Genito Road) area by 2000. Renovation of Beulah, Hopkins Road and Salem Church Elementary Schools by 2000. A new elementary school in the vicinity of Iron Bridge Park by 2000. Renovation or replacement of Meadowbrook High School by 2000. Expansion of the Meadowdale Library by 2015. Development of 70 acres of new community-level parks in the Central Area by 2015. Environment The sensitivity of natural features should play a role in guiding future land use decisions. It is impor- tant to consider the environmental impacts caused by potential development to safeguard the Central Area's natural resources and the quality of life for area residents. Non-tidal wetlands are increasingly recognized for a variety of contributions to environmental qual- ity. The County's Water Quality Protection Plan has goals, policies and implementation strategies to protect water resources in the Central Area and throughout the County and to ensure compliance with the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. This part of the County is very flat, and although non-tidal wetlands are found throughout the County, a very large concentration may exist in a portion of the Central Area. Housing and Neighborhoods For the purpose of this analysis, the Central Area was divided into the six communities described below and shown on Map E. All information here about the communities is from the 1990 U. S. Census. Table 1 provides some pertinent information concerning the people who live in these Cen- tral Area communities.

Belmont: The Belmont Area, at 845,202, has the highest median income of the Central Area communities. Made up mostly of single family homes, the vast majority owner-occupied, ap- proximately 58 percent of the housing stock was built after 1980. Beulah: The community with the most people, the Beulah Community shows a lower median income, as well as median housing value, in comparison with other Central Area communities and the rest of the County. Two thirds of Beulah's housing stock was built before 1980. Beulah has over 1,000 multi-family units, approximately 18 percent of all its housing. Courthouse: A community of younger families, approximately 42 percent of the Courthouse Community's population is under 30 years of age. The percentage of children per household is slightly higher than the County average. In 1990, the Courthouse Community had the second highest median housing value of the Central Area communities. Approximately 53 percent of the housing stock has been built since 1980, and in 1990 about 70 percent owned their homes, about the same as the whole County. Meadowbrook: In 1990, approximately 34 percent of Meadowbrook's residents are over 50 years of age, compared to 15 percent for all of the Central Area. The 1990 median housing value is the highest of the Central Area communities at t~94,630. Eight percent of Meadow- brook's housing was built after 1980. Newbys Bridge: The Newbys Bridge Community is a single family housing community with no multi-family units. It has the newest housing stock of the Central Area communities, with 63 percent built since 1980. Turner: The percentage of persons over 50 in the Turner Road Community matches the County as a whole. The Turner Road Community has the lowest median income of the Central Area communities at $33,700, Nearly 57 percent of the Turner Road Community's housing stock is multi-family units. Historic Resources The Central Area contains a rich fabric of historic resources of local and state significance. These resources relate to several major periods of history. Important historic resources such as Magnolia Grange, Castlewood, and the old Chesterfield County Courthouse are located in the vicinity of the Chesterfield Government Center. DRAFT c7 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan A PLAN FOR ACTION L Goals The theme of the Central Area Plan is a belief in the value of a positive image for the community that emphasizes livability and economic vitality. As the Central Area moves toward the twenty-first century, there needs to be a clear vision of the future. The goals listed below establish a framework for the plan's more specific recommendations. These goals, like the recommendations that follow, are not in order of rank or priority. Vitality: Maintain the long term vitality and attractiveness of the Central Area as a quality com- munity offering opportunities for residential and business/industrial uses. The land use pattern for a healthy, livable Central Area should reflect the following: a. Maintenance of stable, attractive, and diverse neighborhoods that are the building blocks of the residential land use pattern, b. The provision for high quality employment opportunities through new businesses and growth of existing ones, Maintenance and improvement of the public services and facilities which provide a frame- work for the land use pattern -- such as roads, water and sewer lines and educational amenities. Character: The preservation of the intrinsic strengths and character of the Central Area, includ- ing a strong base of single family housing, is of great importance. When planning at the neigh- borhood level, we must keep in mind the importance of protecting the character, stability, and integrity of existing housing, while meeting demands for new housing. Neighborhoods are the building blocks of the County and its quality of life. As the County grows, its livability is increasingly determined by the character of its neighborhoods. The conditions and character of the Central Area neighborhoods vary greatly. We must under- stand these differences. The needs of an older "in town" neighborhood are different from the needs of a new neighborhood located on the rural fringe. New Development: Accommodate new development in the western part of the Central Area, recognizing distinct character differences between developed and undeveloped land. This is of primary importance to the future health and vitality of Chesterfield County. This accommoda- tion considers the importance of: a. The preservation of established neighborhood character in developed areas, b. The recognition of the County Airport as an anchor to Chesterfield County's economy, by promoting synergistic relationships between the airport and future industrial activity. II. Recommendations The land use plan for the Central Area seeks to provide a high quality residential location over the long term, together with the development of a quality employment center. The need is to conserve the established residential areas, while accommodating the area's strong potential for economic development. Development in the Central Area has taken the form of single family subdivisions, scattered multifamily complexes, small to medium sized shopping areas often along highway corri- dors, large employment centers, industrial parks, and a once in a lifetime economic development opportunity of an airport. Although this development pattern has produced a livable community, the shifting pattern of growth has contributed to disinvestment in some neighborhoods, created con- flicting land uses, and resulted in many vacant areas "leapfrogged" by development. DRAFT c8 10/16~96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan Land Use Recommendations Balance: Recognize in land use decisions the vital importance of balance between neighbor- hoods and employment opportunities. Accommodate growth in response to the Central Area's unique opportunities. 2. Accommodation: Provide for the accommodation of future residential development in balance with other land uses. 3. Environment: Promote environmental quality and community integrity through continued good site plan design, adequate transition, and buffering. 4. Pattern: Provide adequate separation and buffers where appropriate in light of surrounding existing or recommended land uses. Public Facilities and Services: Provide adequate public facilities to address the impact of devel- opment. Develop needed community facilities and services in a cost effective manner by follow- ing the County's Publ/c Fac/I/t/es Plan. Development Around the Chesterfield County Government Center: To insure visual compatibility and appropriately reflect the historic significance of the Courthouse area, future non-residential development in the area around the Chesterfield County Government Center should incorporate the same Federalist and Colonial architectural design features as other non-residential develop- ments in the area, such as the Chesterfield Meadows Shopping Center. (See Map H) Design: Provide a high quality, functional and well-designed office, commercial, and industrial environment; maintain the long-term functioning and adequacy of major arterial roadways; limit access and the number of conflict points and thereby, reduce the need for additional crossover locations and traffic signals; promote improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; encourage land assembly and the use of land in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; promote archi- tectural continuity; and encourage designs which produce a compatible relationship between individual buildings, the circulation system and adjacent areas. Airport Impact: Future residential developments in the area most impacted by the Chesterfield County Airport, currently designated on the Zoning Map for Chesterfield County as the outer Airport Height Obstruction Limit, should have mechanisms to notify future home owners about the location and effect of the Airport before the purchase of their homes. Economic Growth and Business Development Recommendations Chesterfield County Airport: Recognize the importance of the airport to the County's future economic vitality and protect this important asset from land uses that would be in conflict with activities inherent to airport operations. Route 288 Corridor: Focus on the regional transportation and industrial location advantages of the Route 288 corridor. Actively market the light industrial and regional mixed use potential of designated areas along the corridor. 3. Government Center: Encourage compatible commercial development in areas adjacent to the Chesterfield County Government Center Complex. Industrial Development: Protect existing and proposed industrial areas from conflicting residen- tial land use development. 5. Business Location: Provide convenient business locations that reduce traffic and travel time. DRAFT c9 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan 6. Community Involvement: Encourage business community involvement in the Community Initia- tive (see following section). Public Facilities and Transportation Recommendations 1. Capital Improvement Program: Continue to use the County's Pub/lc Fac/Et/es Plan as the primary guide for initiating future public facilities projects in the County's Capital Improvement Program. 2. Thoroughfare Plan: Continue to use the County's Thoroughfare P/an as the guide for recom- mendations on development proposals. Cogbill Road: The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Cogbill Road from its intersection with Chester- wood Drive towards Chippenham Parkway as a collector. This collector road designation should not apply to this section of Cogbill Road; rather Chesterwood Drive from Cogbill Road to Mead- owdale Boulevard and Meadowdale Boulevard from Chesterwood Drive to Hopkins Road should be designated as collectors with a right-of-way width of seventy (70) feet. Environmental Recommendations Water Quality Protection: Continue to carry out the goals, policies and implementation strate- gies to protect the water resources in the Central Area in accordance with the County's Water Quality Protection Plan and The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Housing and Neighborhood Recommendations Committee On The Future Neighborhood Preservation Strategies: Work with the Committee on the Future to look at ways to implement the neighborhood preservation strategies contained in their 1995 report. A summary of this report is included as an appendix to this Plan. 2. Community Initiative: Carry out the recommendations of the Community Initiative for the Mead- owbrook Area (see following section). Community Enhancement Program: Work to foster community organization and participation with the Meadowbrook area community and other Central Area neighborhoods through the County's Community Enhancement Program. Historic Resource Recommendation Adaptive Reuse of Historic Properties For Non-residential Uses: Provide incentives through land use decisions on historically significant properties ~ocated in agricultural and residential zoning districts, provided that the use does not unduly or unfairly impact adjacent residential areas, or detract from the agricultural or residential character of the area. Iii. The Land Use Plan The Land Use Plan seeks to enhance the special character of the Central Area and to help guide the changes in the development pattern that may take place over the next twenty years. The plan strives to: · Provide for the livability and the economic vitality of the Central Area in the future. · Preserve and accommodate growth in response to the Central Area's unique opportunities by working toward a balanced distribution of employment and housing options. DRAFT C10 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan Recognize the importance of the Airport to the County's future economic vitality and to protect this important asset from land uses that would be in conflict with activities inherent to airport operations. · Protect existing and proposed industrial areas from conflicting residential land use development. The Land Use Plan illustrates the recommended future development pattern for the Central Area. It provides more than an adequate supply of additional acreage for various land uses relative to mar- ket demand projections. This map ( Map F) will be useful as a guide for all future decisions, includ- lng rezonings and other land use decisions. Key features of recommended uses are presented in Chart 3. IV. Other Considerations Development Around the Chesterfield County Government Center The design area shown on Map H in the vicinity of the Chesterfield County Government center has Federalist and Colonial design features that are compatible with the historic structures in the area, namely Magnolia Grange, Castlewood, and the Old Chesterfield County courthouse. This is of importance not only to residents, but to visitors as well. Although this corridor is part of the "everyday" scene for residents who live in the area or people who have business at the Government Center, to visitors using the recreational, cultural, and historic resources of the Central Area, this corridor creates a first and lasting impression. In order to insure visual compatibility with and appropriately reflect the historic significance of the Courthouse area, future development in the area should incorporate the same design features as other developments in the area, such as the Chesterfield Meadows Shopping Center. Specific Area Considerations The accommodation of new development in the western part of the Central Area is of primary importance to the future health and vitality of Chesterfield County. Important considerations include preserving established neighborhood character, building quality neighborhoods for the future, and recognizing the County Airport as an anchor to Chesterfield County's economy through promoting synergistic relationships with future industrial activity. The character of the area north of Kingsland Creek and east of Route 10 is predominantly residential with some mixed use commercial and office development. The plan recommends this land use pattern continue. Challenges include an aging housing stock, a decline in the number of commercial services in the area, and the effective integration of future construction on unde- veloped land adjacent to existing developed areas. The character of the area west of Route 10 includes residential development as well as major industrial, office and commercial employment centers, an irreplaceable asset in the Chesterfield County Airport, and, significant vacant land available for future development. Challenges to the future development of this area include rapid growth and providing an effective transition be- tween residential and non-residential land uses. The land uses recommended here will 1) set aside larger area for future industrial use to optimize economic development opportunities as- sociated with the Chesterfield County Airport, 2) preserve and protect stable neighborhoods and 3) provide effective separation and buffering of commercial, office, and industrial uses from residential areas. Typically, the southern portion of the Central Area is characterized by employment centers, neighborhoods, and commercial goods and services. Future land use recommendations support continued development in the form of residential, office and community commercial uses. DRAFT Cll 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan The preservation of the intrinsic strengths and character of the Central Area, including a strong base of single family housing is of great importance. At the same time this preservation must go hand in hand with meeting the demand for development on vacant land and the need for revi- talization of some older areas.

NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE CENTER: (Not shown on Land Use Plan) Neighborhood oriented uses (C-1 and O-1 Districts) such as limited retail, personal services, and offices. Limited retail, personal service, and office centers should be provided within planned residential areas to attract customers from immediate neighborhoods only. Preferably, they should be planned in conjunction with new residential projects. These centers should be sited on one corner of an intersection of two collector streets, or where a collector street intersects with an arterial road. NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE: Neighborhood oriented retail development (C-2 District) including small shopping centers and other commercial and office services. COMMUNITY MIXED USE: Community-scale development (C-3 District) including shopping centers, other commercial and office uses, and integrated townhouse or multi-family residential uses. Note: Based on findings contained in the Market Assessment for the Central Area, new multi-family resi- dential development is generally not appropriate north of Route 288. MIXED USE CORRIDOR: Residential developments of various densities, as well as professional, business, industrial, and administrative offices with integrated supporting uses. Such uses should extend approximately 1,000 feet from the major arterial road; however, existing natural or built boundaries (such as bodies of water, floodplains, rights-of-way, access locations or utility corridors) are preferable to an arbitrary depth, such as 1,000 feet. · Note: Nursery schools, child or adult day care centers, kindergartens, hospitals, and other places of as- sembly are not appropriate on Route 10 (Ironbridge Road) between Kingsland Road and Route 288 due to the proximity to the Runway Approach Surface at the Chesterfield County Airport. · Note: Based on findings contained in the Market Assessment for the Central Area, new multi-family resi- dential development is generally not appropriate north of Route 288. REGIONAL MIXED USE: A mixture of integrated office, shopping center, light industrial parks, and/or higher density residential uses. Where appropriate, this area could include community scale mixed uses such as shopping centers, other commercial uses or offices. · Note: Based on findings contained in the Market Assessment for the Central Area, new multi-family resi- dential development is generally not appropriate north of Route 288. LIGHT INDUSTRIAL: Light industrial uses (I-1 District uses and some I-2 District uses) that are dependent upon raw materials first processed elsewhere. Limited retail and service uses that are accessory to industrial uses are also permitted when part of an integrated industrial development. GENERAL INDUSTRIAl.; Industrial uses (I-1 and I-2 District uses and some I-3 District uses may be appropriate if they have the same general character as I-1 and I-2 uses). Limited retail and service uses that are accessory to industrial uses are also permitted when part of an integrated industrial development. General Notes: · Within all land use categories, zoning proposals should be analyzed to determine specific impacts of indi- vidual projects on existing and future development. · Transportation impact and required road improvements for specific development proposals should be evaluated through the zoning and plan review processes. · Appropriate land use transitions should be provided between existing and future residential development and higher intensity uses. · In some cases, future land use classifications are appropriate if parcels are part of a larger scale develop- ment plan that provides for an aggregation of parcels, thereby allowing sufficient land to provide appropri- ate buffers and land use transitions. · Any new multi-family or townhouse developments in the Central Area should be located so that there is not a concentration of high density residential uses in a specific geographic area. These developments should provide amenities for residents and use design features to create a development that blends in with surrounding residential uses. · Where the Land Use Plan map designates a more intensive use, such as mixed use corridor or community mixed use in an established residential neighborhood, sufficient aggregation of land must occur to protect established adjacent residential parcels to the greatest extent possible. DRAFT c13 10/16/96 THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD The Central Area Plan THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE A. Background The Community Initiative is a series of strategies devoted to building community. It establishes a foundation for residents and business persons to identify the needs and priorities of their commu- nity. Working together, the community forms a partnership with Chesterfield County, community agencies, and others to implement the actions that must occur if visions are to become reality. The Community Initiative is an opportunity to produce real and needed change that is based upon the wisdom of the people who know their community best. The Community Initiative endorses the concept of neighborhood wellness, which is defined as a state of livability in neighborhoods where housing is decent and safe; private yards and public spaces are well maintained; business is an integral part of the community; crime is Iow; public facilities are in good condition, and both residents and businesses are active in neighborhood af- fairs. It also refers to an environment supportive of investments, both private and public, and one in which property values are protected and neighborhood character is preserved. The Community Initiative is committed to maintaining healthy neighborhoods. Its main goals are to: · Create a sense of community, · Build neighborhood self-sufficiency, · Ensure the delivery of County services in a coordinated and focused manner, · Build partnership among residents, businesses and the County. Through the Community Initiative, the community will identify its assets and resources, and then will work in partnership with residents and businesses and County staff to develop strategies to address identified actions. Active involvement and participation of neighborhood organizations, residents, and businesses will be solicited to achieve cooperation in planning, developing, and implementing the community's vision of it's future. Community Initiative efforts are envisioned for many neighborhoods throughout Chesterfield County. Map I, outlines the geography of the County's first Community Initiative area: the Mead- owbrook Area Community Wellness Initiative. B. Goals and Objectives Goa~s and objectives, developed from a list of community issues and priorities identified by resi- dents at community meetings, serve as building blocks in addressing community issues and priori- ties. 1.

During the work session the Board should decide which items that it will recommend as part of the 1997 Legislative Program. (See attached draft) Preparer: Steven L. Micas Attachments: Yes V--] No Title: County Attorney 1205:16466.1(15588.1) # 00l J PROPOSED 1997 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT Amend Section 1 5.1-11.01 of the Code of Virginie or amend the Chesterfield County Charter to grant authority to cut weeds and grass on occupied land. (Request by Mr. McHale) ~ Rationale: Currently, the Code only allows localities to cut excessive growth of grass and weeds on vacant land, developed or undeveloped. An amendment allowing localities to cut excessive growth on occupied land would allow localities to act when residents refuse to maintain their property and neighboring citizens complain to the locality. Currently, only Henrico County has such authority. Amend Sections 8.01-43 and 8.01-44 of the Code of Virgini~ to require . paren__.~ts to pay all of the ~~f-~h Rationale: Currently the Code of Virginia caps parental liability for property damage caused by minors at $2,500. Actual costs associated with graffiti removal usually exceed the $2,500 cap. The proposed change would require the parents to pay for all costs associated with graffiti removal. Amend the Code of Virgini~ t(t'~larif¥ immunity for local ~/01unt~e-TZJ~ Rationale: Currently, the Code of Virginia gives local volunteers the identical immunity which state employees have. This language could be applied in such a way that local volunteers have no immunity for claims up to the State Tort Claims Act limit. The Code should be clarified to explain that local volunteers have the same immunity from simple negligence available to employees of the locality for which they are volunteering. FINANCE AND TAXATION Amend the Code of Virginia to require the state tax department, to remit sales ~xes derived from catalo~ out-of-state and home T.V. purchases based on population percentage within a zip code. Rationale: Currently, the state tax department remits sales taxes to localities based on the post office and the origin of zip code of the customer's invoice. No regard is given to the actual boundaries of the localities' within a zip code yO;d or the jurisdiction of the citizens within a zip code. The result of this remittance process is that certain sales taxes generated by Chesterfield citizens are sometimes sent to the City of Richmond because the Chesterfield citizens are served by a Richmond Post Office. The proposed amendment to the Code would require the state tax department to remit certain taxes from catalog, out- of-state and home T.V. purchases to localities based on the percentage population within a zip code where citizens of two or more localities are within a single zip code. Amend the Code of Vir_oini~ to require that audit adjustments made by the State tax d_epartment affecting localities must include~retroactively refunds, for three years. Rationale: Currently, when localities establish that the state tax department erroneously deprived a locality of sales taxes income, corrections are made either upon discovery or when administratively convenient. The proposed amendment would require that adjustments be corrected immediately and income to localities be paid retroactively for three years. Amend Section 46.2-752 of the Code of Viroinia to extend the vehicle license fee exemption to vehicles leased 1;g rc..~mm..~.u~d members, volunteer firefighters, and auxiliary policy officers. Rationale: The current exemption from local vehicle license fees only applies to vehicles owned by rescue squad members and other public safety volunteers. The public policy for providing the fee exemption should apply to leased vehicles as well as owned vehicles. Authority to allow~real proo?rt¥ t~ ~_~.rn.ntinn_~ fr~r three _~rgperties owned by Chesterfield Alternatives, Inc. Rationale: The County has received a request for a real property tax exemption for three properties owned or currently being purchased by Chesterfield Alternatives, Inc. to be used as group homes for the mentally retarded. These homes will be operated under an agreement with the Chesterfield County Community Services Board. Lost revenue $2,695.26. Authority to allow real estate tax exemption for three properties owned by The Foundation for Senior Independence. Rationale: The County has received a request for a real and personal property tax exemption for three properties owned by The Foundation for Senior Independence. The non-profit foundation provides affordable housing for the 2 elderly, I~erate income, and revenue ~ Authority to allow personal property Foundation. at-risk Chesterfield citizens. Lost tax exemption for the Henricus 10. Rationale' The County has received a request for personal property tax exemption from the Henricus Foundation. The Henricus Foundation is a non- profit foundation dedicated to~-he~preservation Henricus Settlement and Historical Park. Lost revenue Amend Section 58.1-3213 of the Code of Viroinia to allow local ordinances to permit a_one veer inrmn~e in inr-nm¢, of UD to ~50,000 m,,sulting from the death of a spouse without eliminating a real estate exemption if the surviving spouse continues to qualify the following year or if all insurance company proceeds are expended in funeral/estate costs. Rationale: Currently, after the death of a spouse, a citizen receiving a tax exemption under the Real Estate Relief For The Elderly Act will not qualify for the exemption for two years, if he or she experienced an increase in income due to the death. In such occurrences, any increase in income is typically expended for funeral or other estate costs. Thus, the surviving spouse is in no better financial position, but has lost the tax exemption for two years. 11. Provide that VDOT shall transfer authority to counties to receive compensation_ for secondary and primar_v..dg~ of way for which a license agreement or other property interest is necessary to install telecommunication facilities. Rationale: Due to the expansion of the telecommunications industry, telecommunication companies have been purchasing primary and secondary right of way for installation of fiber optic lines. Currently, only cities and Henrico County can benefit from right of way sales. The proposed amendment would require VDOT to allocate compensation received from County right of way sales to a County's six year road budget. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 12. Amend the Code of Virginia to provide that 30 days after a property owner violates the local zoning ordinance would constitute a separate criminal offense. Rationale: In Lawless v. County of Chesterfield, the Virginia Court of Appeals held that the County's ordinance providing that each days failure to comply ,.;,04 13. 14. with the zoning ordinance constitutes a separate criminal offense is invalid. As a result of this decision, the County has no effective legal mechanism to compel a landowner to abate or remove a zoning violation. The proposed amendment allows the County to reprosecute offenders who refuse to abate or remove conditions following a conviction after a 30-day wait. Amend Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia to. exempt public safety. facilities from the requirement to obtain substantial accord approval. Rationale: Substantial accord approval is expensive and time-consuming and discourages the placement of community-based police and fire facilities. Amend the Code of Virginia to allow judges the authority when hearing zoning prosecutions, to order an abatement or removal of the violation similar to the provision contained in the building code. Rationale: Currently, judges have the authority in hearing building code prosecutions to order the abatement or removal of building code violations. The absence of similar authority for zoning prosecutions, leaves the court with no ability (absent a single fine) to compel the abatement of the conditions which led to a zoning conviction. An amendment giving judges the authority to order abatement of such conditions would negate the effect of the recent holding by the Court of Appeals' Lawless decision. PUBLIC SAFETY 15. Amend the Code of Virgini~ to allow localities to recover fines or costs associated with domestic violence. Rationale: Currently, the Code allows localities to collect fines and costs associated with the conviction of any individual charged with drunk driving. Due to the increasing frequency of occurrence, this provision should be expanded to include the collection of costs and fines associated with incidents of domestic violence. HUMAN SERVICES 16. Amend Section 37.1-195 of the Code of Virginia to eliminate the obligation to appoint the Sheriff to Community Services Boards when the local Sheriff does not regularly transport citizens on behalf of the Community Services Board. Rationale: In House Bill 742, the 1996 General Assembly amended the Code to require the Community Services Boards to include the local Sheriff on the Board. HB742 was originally adopted to solve a local problem. 7. 8. 9. 10. SUPPORT/OPPOSE LEGISLATION Support amendments to the Appropriations Act to help fund the expansion of the Richmond Centre. Support legislation which would simplify the process for the local sale of tax delinquent property. (At the request of Mr. McHale from City of Lynchburg) Support legislation which will allow citizens assisting public safety employees to require testing of suspects when the assisting citizen is exposed to blood- born pathogens. (At the request of Mr. McHale from City of Lynchburg) Support an amendment to the Appropriation Act which deletes current language allowing the State to prorate fiscal obligations to local governments under the Comprehensive Services Act if sufficient funds are not appropriated. Support legislation which reclassifies stalking with a weapon as a felony and allows the court to issue a protective order against a person charged with stalking before a trial is held. (At the request of Mr. McHale) Support protection of current cash proffer law. Support protection of current approach to sovereign immunity. Support current law on the setting of connection fees. Support amendment to Section 58.1-3916 of the Code of Virginia, to provide that real estate taxes remain due on the original tax date, even in the event of a tax assessment appeal. Support amendment to Chapter 58.1 of the Code of Virginia, to remove the requirement to send real estate tax bills in those cases when assessments result in tax that is less that 95.00. This would make the administration of real estate taxation the same as personal property taxation. 1205:15588.1 11/8/96 006 Meeting Date: CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA November 13:1996 Item Number: Page Subject: Authorization for the County Administrator to Enter Into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the Sale of 1.2 Acres of Property in the Dale Magisterial District County Administrator's Comments: CountyAdministrator: BoardAction Requested: Authorize the County Administrator to execute a real estate purchase agreement for the sale of 1.2 acres of land in Dale Magisterial District Summary of Information: Staff has determined that 1.2 acres of the parcel owned by the County and occupied by Castlewood are surplus and unnecessary for the continued use of Castlewood. In 1992, the Castlewood property containing 5.837 acres and including the house was purchased by the County for $278,000. Walgreen's has expressed an interest in purchasing 1.2 acres of the Castlewood parcel to add to 2.0 acres of adjacent property owned by Walgreen's. (See attached plat.) Walgreens intends to apply to rezone the combined parcels from agricultural to conditional use for construction of a retail store. The purchase agreement authorizes Walgreens to file a rezoning application that includes the County's 1.2 acres. Under a normal schedule, the Planning Commission would hold a public hearing on the proposed rezoning in December and the Board of Supervisors would hold their public heating in January, 1997. The sale of the 1.2 acres is contingent upon Board of Supervisors approval of the sale after holding a public hearing on the advisability of the sale. That public hearing on the sale would be held the first meeting in February, 1997. The purchase agreement is also contingent upon the property being rezoned in such a fashion as to allow commercial development. Because the property is designated as a historic site, any improvements within the 1.2 acres must be approv%d~y the Historic Preservation Committee. Preparer:~ Bradford S.
