Johnson to ~ermit a Second Dwelling Unit (Mother-in-Law suite) at 14009 Summercliff Terrace County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Reques~d: Staff recommends the Board initiate a Conditional Use application for Mr. and Mrs. William J. Johnson to permit a second dwelling unit (mother-in-law suite) at 14009 Summercliff Terrace and appoint Mr. Kirk Turner, Development Manager to act as the Board's agent. Summary of Information: On April 27, 2000 an application was filed for construction of a single family dwelling at 14009 Summercliff Terrace in Summerford Subdivision. 'The dwelling was to have two living units which makes the home a duplex not a single family dwelling. This factor was noted on the application and construction plans but was missed by the reviewing departments. When the builder requested a Certificate of Occupancy for the residence, Building Inspection notified the Planning Department about the second living quarters (a mother-in-law suite). The owner has been granted a temporary Certificate of Occupancy while the oversight is resolved. The ~ro~erty is zene~ R-12. Single family dwellings are permitted by right but ~u~lexes require a Conditional Use Permit. Since staff a~reve~ the Buil~in~ Permit in error, staff requests the Board of Supervisors to a~ly for a C~nditional Use on behalf of the property owners Mr. Turner would only represent the Board's interests in the public hearings and the owner, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, will represent their interests. The fee for this Conditional Use Permit would have been $1400. ~homas E.

Subject: Set a Public Hearing For April 25, 2001 to Consider Amendments and Additions to the Zoning Ordinance Regarding Requirements for Signs County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action ReQuested: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors set a public hearing for the Board's April 25, 2001 meeting to consider amending Sections 19-301, 19-613 and 19-631 through 19-644 of the County Code and adding Sections 19-645 through 19-650 regarding signs. Summary of Information: The Board of Supervisors adopted the current 'provisions of the zoning ordinance relating to signs in 1994. In 1998, Planning Staff began a comprehensive review of the sign ordinances which included numerous meetings with commercial sign companies, retail businesses, and citizens. In addition, the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals held two joint work sessions to discuss their experiences with the sign ordinance. On February 20, 2001, the Planning Commission recommended that the Board approve the attached ordinance amendments. ~ Thomas Jacobson Attachments: Yes I I No I I Title: Director of Planning 1914:52557.1 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 2 of 2 The sign ordinance amendments are balanced to address the concerns and needs of all its users, which include sign companies, large and small business owners, developers, owners of existing developed property, citizens, and County staff. Although the sign ordinance has been restructured to make it clearer, the proposed amendments are not a comprehensive rewrite of the current sign ordinance. However, some of the proposed changes provide that: Legally nonconforming signs that exceed the size or height requirements by 100 percent or more cannot be refaced. To encourage legally nonconforming signs to come into compliance with the ordinance, such signs can be replaced with only a fifty percent reduction in the non-conformity, instead of requiring complete adherence to the size and/or height requirements. Community identification signs can be located in community entrance road public rights of way if allowed by VDOT. Additional changeable copy can be used on non-residential community identification signs for individual tenants to advertise special sales events. Staff recommends that the Board set a public hearing for its April 25, 2001 meeting to consider the proposed ordinances. O094 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF ~ COUNTY OF CI-IESTERFIF.

Subiect: Public Hearing on Proposed Ordinance Amendments to Section 18-22 of the County Code Relating to Utilities Fee Changes County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: Hold a Public Hearing to Adopt Attached Amendments on Utilities Fee Changes Summary of Information: This date and time has been scheduled to hold a public hearing on the Utilities ordinance fee changes. The current rate structure requires that the cost of projects that provide additional capacity to support continued development be recovered from capital cost recovery charges. To provide the required funds, it is necessary to increase the water capital cost recovery charge (water connection fee) by $1,000 for an equivalent residential unit. Effective July 1, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved the first year of a four year phase-in for this increase from $2,592 to $2,842. For FY2002, staff is recommending a continuation of the phase- in with a second $250 increase from $2,842 to $3,092 effective July 1, 2001. Additional increases of $250 are anticipated over the next two years; however, an evaluation will be made annually prior to making a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. This is the second increase since 1991. The proposed ordinance is attached. Preparer: , ['(_~% x-y-~__.__ Title: Director of Bud,qet and Manaqement Rebecca T.

Dickson Attachments: Yes ~No CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 2 of 2 Meetin March 21, 2001 Summary of Information (cont.) This proposed ordinance makes several changes to the existing code for partial tax exemptions on renovated structures. The most significant of these is the inclusion of commercial and industrial properties 25 years or older, which have been improved so as to increase the assessed value of the structure by 15 percent or more, and are not located within an Enterprise Zone. Commercial and industrial properties, 15 years or older, within the zone are already eligible for tax exemptions. Commercial properties would follow the same criteria presently in place for the Enterprise Zone with the addition of an application fee for properties located outside the Zone as well as allowing for replacement of structures up to 100% increase in square footage. Other changes under the residential rehabilitation proposal include changing the required 15% increase in assessed value due to rehabilitation to 10%, and establishing a limit of up to 200% of increased square footage to qualify for rebatement. The eight year rebatement period would remain the same. The proposed ordinance is attached.
