DISCUSSION
On August 22, 1984, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommen-
dation by the Planning Commission, rezoned the request parcel and sur-
rounding properties to the south, east, and west to Office Business (0)
with a Conditional Use Planned Development. Subsequently, on April 15,
1986, the Planning Commission approved the schematic plan for Robious
Sports & Fitness Club to allow for the construction of an indoor racquet
club with related facilities.
The applicants are currently requesting an amendment to the Conditional
Use Planned Development to permit outdoor recreation facilities as acces-
sory uses to the indoor recreational club. If approved, the facility
would include outdoor tennis courts, a fitness court, jogging course,
outdoor practice court, swimming pool, and trail to Huguenot Park.
The outdoor uses would be compatible with surrounding development.
Conditions imposed at the time of the original rezoning and the subse-
quent schematic plan approval for the indoor recreation facility address
most of Staff's concerns.
At the time of schematic approval, the Commission allowed for a reduction
in the number of parking spaces required from 359 to 170 spaces. An
additional twenty-eight (28) spaces are proposed in conjunction with the
outdoor facilities. These additional spaces are sufficient to handle the
increase demand expected as a result of the outdoor recreation
facilities.
Whereas, the screening and landscaping conditions previously imposed by
the Commission and Board ensure a quality development, additional screen-
ing should be provided around the perimeter of the pool area to ensure
privacy for those utilizing the pool and also minimize distraction for
motorists (Condition 2). Such screening would be consistent with require-
ments for the hotel pool located to the south. (Condition 2)
CASE HISTORY
Applicant (6/9/86):
A revised Master Plan for the proposed facility was submitted. The
revised plan relocates the outdoor fitness court, tennis courts, practice
courts, and jogging course from the center and east sides of the site to
the north side of the site, closer to Huguenot Park property. Further,
the outdoor pool has been moved away from the intersection of Koger
3 86S083/BSJUN6/JULY23N
Center Boulevard and Center View Drive to the east side of the proposed
building.
The revised plan was reviewed and Staff finds it to be a better site
design than depicted on the original Master Plan. Specifically, the
outdoor activities are now located such that future office development
within the Koger Park will not be affected. Further, the outdoor facil-
ities are now in close proximity to Huguenot Park. Condition 1 was
amended to accommodate the revised Master Plan.
It should be noted that site plans must include landscaping plans for the
perimeter and interior of the parking areas, per the conditions of zoning
for the Koger Center. Also, a sign package must be submitted for
approval prior to erecting any signs.
Planning Commission Meeting (6/17/86):
On motion of Mr. Cowan, seconded by Mr. Belcher, the Commission recom-
mended approval of this request subject to the conditions on page 1.
AYES: Messrs. Miller, Belcher, Cowan, and Rowe.
ABSENT: Mr. O'Connor.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, July 23, 1986, beginning at 2:00 p.m.,
will take under consideration this request.
