North line of Woolridge Road
REQUEST:
Rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-15) with Conditional Use Planned
Development to permit exceptions to Ordinance requirements.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
A mixture of residential uses, to include single and multifamily uses, townhomes and
cluster homes, along with commercial uses on a maximum of five (5) acres (Textual
Statement IV.A.1.), stock farm (equestrian facilities) and associated business uses,
and supporting community recreational uses are planned with a neo-traditional
design. The applicant has agreed to limit residential development to a maximum
density of 2.0 dwelling units per acre, yielding approximately 605 dwelling units.
(Proffered Condition 3)
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROFFERED CONDITIONS ON
PAGES 2 THROUGH 17.
AYES: Messrs. Litton, Wilson and Gecker
NAYS: Messrs. Bass and Gulley
Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval subject to the applicant addressing the location of the commercial node, the
focal point acreage and garage orientation. This recommendation is made for the following reasons:
mo
With the exception of the commercial node, the proposed residential and associated
recreational uses complies with the Upper Swift Creek Plan. The Plan provides that
commercial uses designed primarily to serve the convenience of the planned
residential community in which they are located may be appropriate when such
commercial uses are designed with appropriate access and an internal focus. The
location of the commercial uses along a major arterial (Woolridge Road) at the
periphery of the development does not provide the internal focus and the limited
service/convenience area the Plan envisions for such uses.
Bo
The size of the focal point at the intersection of the North/South Road with
Woolridge Road fails to meet the typical standard established for small lot
developments (Textual Statement III. G.). Similarly, the request fails to fully
minimize the visual impact of garage doors facing the street. (Textual Statement
II.H.)
The proffered conditions adequately address the impacts of this development on
necessary capital facilities, as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive
Plan. Specifically, the needs for roads, schools, parks, libraries and fire stations is
identified in the Public Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital
Improvement Program, and the impact of this development is discussed herein. The
proffered conditions adequately mitigate the impact on capital facilities, thereby
insuring adequate service levels are maintained and protecting the health, safety and
welfare of County citizens.

UTILITIES
Public Water System:
A twenty (20) inch water line serving Foxfire Subdivision crosses Woolridge Road at the
intersection of Woolridge Road with Fox Club Road and Fox Light Parkway. An off-site
extension of approximately 2,150 ft will be necessary to serve this site. In conjunction with
this development, it is anticipated that a public water line consistent with the County's
Public Water and Wastewater Facilities Plan will be constructed along the request site's
frontage with Woolridge Road and Otterdale Road. Use of the public water system is
intended and has been proffered. (Proffered Condition 5)
Public Wastewater System:
A thirty-six (36) inch wastewater trunk line extends along a portion of Deep Creek and
terminates adjacent to Fox Fire Subdivision, approximately 300 feet northeast of this site.
Approved plans as prepared by Timmons propose the future extension of a thirty-six (36)
inch wastewater trunk line along the north side of Deep Creek and Blackman Creek to serve
the Magnolia Green development, as well as the western portion of this site. The remaining
eastern portion of the request site is projected for service by a wastewater trunk line to be
sized for this site and adjacent development, and constructed along the south side of Deep
Creek from the same existing thirty-six (36) inch wastewater trunk line adjacent to Fox Fire
Subdivision. Use of the public wastewater system is intended and has been proffered.
(Proffered Condition 5)
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The property drains to the rear to Blackman Creek, which forms the western property line
and then via Blackman Creek to Swift Creek Reservoir. The property is wooded. To insure
that adequate erosion control measures are in place, the property should not be timbered
without first obtaining a land disturbance permit from the Environmental Engineering
Department and the appropriate devices installed. (Proffered Condition 8)
Water Quality:
Blackman Creek is a perennial stream and is therefore subject to a one hundred (100) foot
conservation area in which there are very limited uses. In addition, a pro-rata fee for
construction of regional Best Management Practices (BMPs) and a maintenance fee will be
required for compliance with the regional BMP program. The property will drain through
some enhanced floodplain BMPs prior to reaching Swift Creek Reservoir.
To address concerns of the Planning Commission and area citizens, the applicant has agreed
to maintain sediment basins or construct new BMPs, or combination thereof, until the permit
18 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
for construction of the initial facility contained in the Upper Swift Creek Watershed Plan is
issued. (Proffered Condition 9)
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities is identified in the Public
Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program. This development
will have an impact on these facilities.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls are
expected to increase forty-four (44) to seventy-eight (78) percent by 2022. Six (6) new
fire/rescue stations are recommended for construction by 2022 in the Plan. In addition to the
six (6) new stations, the Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5) existing stations.
Based on 605 dwelling units, this request will generate approximately 116 calls for fire and
emergency medical service each year. The applicant has addressed the impact on fire and
EMS (Proffered Condition 7).
The Clover Hill and Swift Creek Fire Stations, currently provide fire protection and
emergency medical service. When the property is developed, the number of hydrants,
quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated
during the plans review process.
Schools:
Approximately 308 students will be generated by this development. This site lies in the
Grange Hall Elementary School attendance zone: capacity - 828, enrollment - 716; Swift
Creek Middle School zone: capacity - 1,027, enrollment - 1,470; and Clover Hill High
School zone: capacity - 1,582, enrollment ~ 2,038. This request will have an impact on the
schools involved. There are currently twelve (12) trailers at Swift Creek Middle School and
twenty (20) trailers at Clover Hill High School.
A new middle school is in the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and is proposed to
open in the fall of 2009 that will provide relief for schools in this area of the county. A new
high school is under construction, and scheduled to open in the fall of 2006, that will provide
relief for Clover Hill and Manchester High Schools.
Eventually, as existing and proposed developments are built out in this area, they will have
an impact at the elementary level as well.
The applicant has agreed to participate in the cost of providing for area school needs.
(Proffered Condition 7)
19 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Libraries:
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' Policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed county-wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throughout the County.
Development of this property would most likely impact the existing Clover Hill Library or a
proposed new facility in the Genito Road area. The Plan identifies a need for additional
library space in this area of the County. The applicant has addressed the impact of this
proposed development on library facilities. (Proffered Condition 7)
Parks and Recreation:
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) new regional parks, seven (7)
community parks and five (5) community centers by 2020. In addition, the Plan identifies
the need for ten (10) new or expanded special purpose parks to provide water access or
preserve and interpret unique recreational, cultural or environmental resources. The Pl~tn
also identifies shortfalls in trails and recreational historic sites.
The applicant has offered measures to assist in addressing the impact of this proposed
development on these Parks and Recreation facilities (Proffered Condition 7). In addition,
Proffered Condition 15 provides for a trail along Blackman Creek and Deep Creek in
accordance with the recommendations of the Upper Swift Creek Plan.
Transportation:
The property (302.6 acres) is currently zoned Agricultural (A), and the applicant is
requesting rezoning to Residential (R-15) with Conditional Use Planned Development to
permit development of a mixed-use project; including residential and commercial uses. The
applicant has proffered a maximum density of two (2) dwelling units per acre (Proffered
Condition 3). The applicant's Textual Statement would limit development of commercial
uses to 56,000 square feet (Textual Statement Condition IV.A.3.c). Based on single-family
and shopping center trip rates, development could generate approximately 10,110 average
daily trips. These vehicles will be initially distributed to Woolridge Road east of Otterdale
Road, and to Otterdale Road north of Woolridge Road, which had 2004 traffic counts of
1,553 and 906 vehicles per day (VPD), respectively.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Woolridge Road and Otterdale Road as major arterials
with recommended right of way widths of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has proffered to
dedicate forty-five (45) feet of right of way, measured from the centerline of those roads, in
accordance with that Plan. (Proffered Condition 11)
Access to major arterials, such as Woolridge Road and Otterdale Road, should be controlled.
The applicant has proffered that direct access from the property to Woolridge Road and to
Otterdale Road will be limited to one (1) public road onto each roadway. (Proffered
Condition 10.a)
20 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
A tentative subdivision plat (Foxfield Subdivision) has been approved for the adjacent
property to the east. The Foxfield Subdivision tentative plat shows a residential collector
street (Swift Fox Drive) extending from Woolridge Road through the Foxfield Subdivision
to the property. Additional access from the property to Woolridge Road could be provided
via Swift Fox Drive. The applicant has proffered that initial access for any development on
the property will be provided either directly to Woolridge Road or via Swift Fox Drive to
Woolridge Road. (Proffered Condition 10.b)
Them is a fifty (50) foot wide right-of-way that extends from Woolridge Road to the
property. Several parcels are located on either side of this fifty (50) foot wide right-of-way.
To address neighborhood concerns, the applicant has proffered that no access will be
provided from the property to Woolridge Road through that fifty (50) foot wide right-of-
way. (Proffered Condition 10.c)
Included in the Subdivision Ordinance is the Planning Commission's Stub Road Policy. The
Policy suggests that subdivision streets anticipated to carry 1,500 VPD or more should be
designed as "no-lot frontage" collector roads. In accordance with the Stub Road Policy,
residential collector streets may be required through parts of the property. The applicant's
zoning map shows a north/south road and an east/west road extending through the property.
Sections of these streets may exceed 1,500 VPD. The applicant is considering a
"neotraditional" layout for this development with lots fronting some sections of these streets
and with driveways accessing rear alleys. Specific recommendations regarding the need for
residential collector streets and/or an acceptable alternative design will be addressed at time
of tentative subdivision plat review.
The traffic impact of this development on area roads must be addressed. The applicant has
proffered to: 1) construct additional pavement along Woolridge Road and along Otterdale
Road to provide left and right turn lanes at each approved access, including turn lanes at the
Swift Fox Drive intersection, based on Transportation Department standards; and 2)
widen/improve the north side of Woolridge Road and the east side of Otterdale Road to an
eleven (11) foot wide travel lane with an additional one (1) foot wide paved shoulder plus a
seven (7) foot wide unpaved shoulder, and overlay with asphalt the full width of each road
for the entire property frontage. (Proffered Condition 12)
Based on Transportation Department standards, turn lanes will be warranted at each
approved access along Woolridge Road and along Otterdale Road. Constructing these road
improvements may require the developer to acquire some "off-site" right of way. According
to Proffered Condition 12, if the developer is unable to acquire the off-site right of way for
any road improvement, the developer may request the county to acquire the right of way as a
public road improvement. All costs associated with the acquisition will be borne by the
developer. If the county chooses not to assist with the right-of-way acquisition, the developer
will not be obligated to acquire the "off-site" right-of-way and will only be obligated to
construct road improvements within available right-of-way. (Proffered Condition 12)
21 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
As previously stated, the applicant has proffered that initial access for any development on
the property will be provided to Wooldridge Road (Proffered Condition 10.b). The applicant
has also proffered that with access to Woolridge Road, all of the proffered
widening/improvements to Woolridge Road along the property frontage will be provided
(Proffered Condition 13). In addition, Proffered Condition 13 would require that with access
to Otterdale Road, all of the proffered widening/improvements to Otterdale Road along the
property frontage will be provided.
Area roads need to be improved to address safety and accommodate the increase in traffic
generated by this development. Woolridge Road and Otterdale Road will be directly
impacted by development of this property. Sections of Woolridge Road, east of Otterdale
Road, have eighteen (18) to nineteen (19) foot wide pavement with no shoulders. The
capacity of that section of Woolridge Road is acceptable (Level of Service C) for the volume
of traffic it currently carries (1,553 VPD). Sections of Woolridge Road, south of Genito
Road, have eighteen (18) to twenty-one (21) foot wide pavement with no shoulders, and
guardrail immediately adjacent to the road. The section of Woolridge Road across the Swift
Creek Reservoir is not in the State Highway System, and is the responsibility of the County.
Based on the current (2005 count) volume of traffic (10,937 VPD), that section of Woolridge
Road is at capacity (Level of Service E). Sections of Otterdale Road, north of Woolridge
Road, have eighteen (18) to nineteen (19) foot wide pavement with no shoulders, and
substandard horizontal and vertical curves and large trees located close to the edge of
pavement. The capacity of that section of Otterdale Road is acceptable (Level of Service B)
for the volume of traffic it currently carries (906 ADT).
The applicant has proffered to contribute cash, in an amount consistent with the Board of
Supervisors' Policy, towards mitigating the traffic impact of this development (Proffered
Condition 7). The road improvements will be provided within Traffic Shed 6 or for road
improvements that provide relief to that Traffic Shed. The money could be used towards
road improvements to Woolridge Road and/or to Otterdale Road.
The applicant has also proffered that, at the option of the Transportation Department and in
lieu of the cash proffer payment described in Proffered Condition 7, lump sum contributions
will be provided for area road improvements (Proffered Condition 14). The Transportation
Department plans to exercise this payment option. Proffered Condition 14 requires the
applicant to pay: 1) prior to recordation of the initial subdivision section or prior to any site
plan approval for any dwelling unit, the amount of $657,000; and 2) prior to recordation of a
subdivision section or prior to a site plan approval for any dwelling unit, that would result in
more than a cumulative total of 150 dwelling units on the property, the amount of $657,000;
and 3) prior to recordation of each subdivision section and prior to each site plan approval,
for any dwelling unit that would be in excess of a cumulative total of 300 dwelling units on
the property, the amount of the road component of the cash proffer (currently $4,380)
multiplied by the total number of lots or dwelling units shown on each approved final check
plat and on each proposed site plan. Proffered Condition 14 would also allow, upon mutual
agreement of the Transportation Department and the applicant, the applicant to provide road
improvements equal to the cost of such payment(s). This option will be considered at time of
tentative subdivision plat and/or site plan review.
22 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
As development continues in this part of the county, traffic volumes on area roads will
substantially increase. Additional funds will need to be identified to cover the cost of the
improvements needed to accommodate the traffic increases. No road improvement projects
in this part of the county are included in the Six-Year Improvement Plan, except for a project
to improve a substandard curve on Woolridge Road south of Crown Pointe Road. This curve
has been identified as a high accident location.
At time of tentative subdivision review, specific recommendations will be provided
regarding access, the internal street network and providing stub road rights-of-way to
adjacent properties.

Based on a proffered maximum density of two (2) dwelling units per acre (Proffered Condition 3).
Actual number of units and corresponding impact may vary.
As noted, this proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has calculated
the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries, and fire stations at
$11,549 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of $11,500 per unit
would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed development on the non-
age restricted units. Furthermore, the applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of $5,991
per unit would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed development on
the age restricted units.
23 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other applicants, the
applicant has offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed zoning on such capital
facilities (Proffered Condition 7). In addition to addressing the impact on schools, parks, libraries
and fire stations, the proffered conditions provide the County with options for addressing the impact
of this development on road facilities (Proffered Condition 7). The proffered conditions allow the
transportation component to be paid under any of the following scenarios: 1) payments shall be
made on a per dwelling unit basis prior to the release of building permits, 2) lump-sum payments
shall be made prior to recordation of subdivision plans and approval of site plans, and 3) road
improvements can be made in lieu of the road cash proffer payment or in conjunction with a reduced
road cash proffer payment.
New legislation specifying time limitations in which collected cash proffers must be used was
approved during the 2005 General Assembly Session. For cases approved on or after July 1, 2005,
localities must begin or cause to begin the project for which the payments were proffered within
seven (7) years of receiving full payment of all cash proffered. Chesterfield's cash proffer policy
established a fifteen (15) year time limit from the time of collection of the payment. Such a
limitation would be contrary to State Code for this case. Since this case was heard by the Planning
Commission, the applicant has revised Proffered Condition 7 to comply with the State Statute. Staff
finds this revision acceptable.
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed and
it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the proffered conditions as offered in this case.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests that the property,
which drains to the Swift Creek Reservoir, is appropriate for residential development of 2.0
units per acre or less. The Plan also suggests that various types of housing, to include
condominiums and clustered attached or detached single family dwellings may be
appropriate if included within a large coordinated planned development. The Plan further
suggests that convenience commercial nodes may be appropriate within such a coordinated
development subject to adequate access and a design that incorporates an internal focus with
open spaces and pedestrian connections.
Amendments to the Upper Swift Creek Plan are pending.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Residential (R-15), Residential (R-12), Residential (R-9)
or Agricultural (A) and are occupied by single family dwellings or are vacant. It is
anticipated that residential development at densities of 2.0 to 2.2 units per acre or less will
continue in the area as recommended by the Upper Swift Creek Plan; however amendments
to the Upper Swift Creek Plan are pending.
24 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Site Design:
The 302.6 acre request property is proposed for Residential (R-15) zoning and may be
developed for single, multifamily, cluster and townhome residential uses; commercial and
recreational uses; and stock farm (equestrian) uses with accessory commercial uses, all of
which are discussed in further detail herein. Unless the property is developed solely for
conventional R-15 single family uses, the development will have a neo-traditional design
which includes sidewalks, street trees, open spaces and alleys serving the rear of dwelling
units (Textual Statement II.A.). In addition, uses will be located and developed as generally
depicted on the Zoning Map prepared by Balzer and Associates dated April 4, 2005
(Attachment), as described in the Textual Statement (Attachment) and as provided in the
proffered conditions. The Tracts' locations and sizes, including further divisions into Sub-
tracts, may be modified so long as land use transitions and compatibility between different
uses are addressed (Textual Statement ll.B.). Likewise, mixing of residential uses within
Tracts or Sub-tracts may be permitted provided land use transitions and compatibility
between different uses are addressed. (Textual Statement II.D.)
Commercial Node:
The applicant has submitted a Master Plan that conceptually depicts a five (5) acre parcel
reserved for commercial and multifamily residential uses fronting on Woolridge Road along
the periphery of the development (Zoning Map - Tract D). Staff does not support the
proposed location of this commercial node. The Upper Swift Creek Plan provides that
commercial uses designed primarily to serve the convenience of the planned residential
community in which they are located may be appropriate when such commercial uses are
designed with appropriate access and an internal focus. This location, along a major arterial
at the periphery of the development, does not provide the internal focus and limited
service/convenience area the Plan envisions, but rather creates a commercial area designed
to serve a larger community. Therefore, the commercial uses do not comply with the
recommendations of the Plan. Staff suggests this commercial node be located at the
intersection of the North/South and East/West Roads to accomplish the internal focus
suggested by the Plan. (Zoning Map)
Within this commercial node (Zoning Map - Tract D) permitted uses include those uses
permitted in the Convenience(C-1) District plus a limited number of Neighborhood Business
(C-2) uses (Textual Statement IV.A.2.a. and b). Development of these commercial uses
would be limited to a maximum gross square footage of 56,000 square feet with limitations
on individual tenant spaces (Textual Statement IV.A.3.c) and would comply with Emerging
Growth District Standards except that the area will have a neo-traditional character with
buildings located adjacent to sidewalks, lined with street trees and adjacent on-street parking
(Textual Statement IV.A.3.b). The exact design of Tract D would be required to be
approved by the Planning Commission at the time of plan review. (Textual Statement
IV.A.3.b)
25 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
In addition to the commercial uses, a maximum of fifty-five (55) residential multifamily
units would be permitted within Tract D provided such uses are located in space above the
permitted commercial uses (Textual Statement IV.A.2.c)
If Tract D is not developed for commercial or multifamily residential uses, it could be
developed for single family and townhouse uses as permitted in Tract B. (Textual Statement
IV.A.2.d and IV.C.)
Density:
Proffered Condition 3 limits the overall density to a maximum of 2.0 dwelling units per acre
yielding approximately 605 dwelling units. In addition, the condition provides that certain
numbers of varying lot types may be permitted (Proffered Condition 3). The Ordinance will
require that where lot sizes are reduced below 15,000 square feet, an equivalent amount of
space must be provided in open space.
Residential Uses:
Single family and townhouse uses on varying lots sizes are proposed (referred to as Single
Family A, Single Family B, Single Family C, Single Family D, and Single Family E uses
(Textual Statement IV.C.1)). The proposed lot sizes range from a minimum of 15,000
square feet to a minimum of 1,520 square feet. As previously noted, the development,
including these residential areas is proposed to have a neo-traditional design.
Other standards established for these residential uses include minimum house sizes,
foundation treatments, setbacks, provision of sidewalks, buffers, open space in addition to
Ordinance requirements, provision of a focal points, street trees, paved driveways and alleys,
and garage orientation. (Proffered Conditions 2, 4 & 16, and Textual Statement III.D., III.E.,
III.F., III.G, III.H, IV.B. and IV.C.)
Proffered Condition 6 requires any housing units designed for occupancy by seniors to be
grouped together and identified on site and subdivision plans in an effort to accurately track
the impacts on capital facilities.
In addition, Proffered Condition 17 requires any lots having sole access through Foxfield
Subdivision (immediately adjacent to the east) to have an average lot area and density equal
to Foxfield Subdivision.
Cluster Standards:
The requirements offered for cluster projects are consistent with those typically required by
the Commission and Board of Supervisors on similar projects recently approved except that
the size of the focal point at the intersection of the North/South Road with Woolridge Road
fails to meet the typical standard established for small lot developments (Textual Statement
II.G.) and the request fails to fully minimize the impact of garage doors facing the street.
(Textual Statement II.H.)
26 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Recreational Facilities:
Passive and active recreational uses limited to facilities and uses that primarily serve the
surrounding residential community would be permitted within all Tracts. Such uses include,
but are not limited to, picnic areas, trails, sidewalks, ponds, swimming pools, tennis courts,
basketball courts, playgrounds and clubhouses. The Textual Statement provides for
setbacks, buffers and other restrictions to minimize the impact of such recreational uses on
surrounding residential uses. (Textual Statement III.A.)
Equestrian Uses:
Horse riding trails would be permitted throughout the development with horse boarding
facilities and accessory uses such as pastures, barns, stables, riding lessons, grooming
services and training permitted within Tract C (Zoning Map and Textual Statement III.B).
The Textual Statement provides for setbacks, architectural design, building size limitations,
and other restrictions to minimize the impact of such equestrian uses on surrounding
residential uses. (Textual Statement III.B.)
Recreational Vehicle Storage:
Recreational vehicle storage lots (including boats, travel trailers and campers) are permitted
throughout the development. The Textual Statement provides for setbacks, screening and
other restrictions to minimize the impact of such storage areas on surrounding residential
uses. (Textual Statement III.C.)
Communications Tower:
A communications tower approved through a previous Conditional Use exists on the request
property in the area shown as Tract B (Zoning Map). Approval of this request permits the
tower to remain subject to restrictions in the Textual Statement addressing height, security
fencing, color and lighting system, and other restrictions to minimize the impact of such
tower on surrounding residential uses. (Textual Statement IV.C. 1 .f)
Restrictive Covenants:
Proffered Condition 19 requires recordation of restrictive covenants. It should be noted that
the County will only insure the recordation of the covenants and will not be responsible for
their enforcement. Once the covenants are recorded, they can be changed.
CONCLUSIONS
With the exception of the location of the commercial node, the proposed residential zoning and land
use complies with the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests that the portion of the property which
drains to the Swift Creek Reservoir is appropriate for residential the development of 2.0 units per
acre. The Plan provides that commercial uses designed primarily to serve the convenience of the
27 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
planned residential community in which they are located may be appropriate when such commercial
uses are designed with appropriate access and an internal focus. The location of the commercial
uses along a major arterial (Woolridge Road) at the periphery of the development does not provide
the internal focus and the limited service/convenience area the Plan envisions.
In developments where single family residential lot sizes are proposed below 12,000 square feet, the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have typically approved quality standards (Cluster
Standards) such as street trees, sidewalks, and increased open spaces for focal points and recreation.
The size of the focal point at the intersection of the North/South Road with Woolridge Road fails to
meet the typical standard established for small lot developments (Textual Statement II.G.).
Similarly, the request fails to fully minimize the impact of garage doors facing the street. (Textual
Statement II.H.)
The proffered conditions adequately address the impacts of this development on necessary capital
facilities, as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the needs for
roads, schools, parks, libraries and fire stations is identified in the Public Facilities Plan, the
Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program, and the impact of this development is
discussed herein. The proffered conditions adequately mitigate the impact on capital facilities,
thereby insuring adequate service levels are maintained and protecting the health, safety and welfare
of County citizens.
Given these considerations, staff recommends approval subject to the applicant addressing the
location of the commercial node, the focal point acreage and garage orientation.

Revisions to proffered conditions and Textual Statement were submitted.
Applicant (4/7/05):
The deferral fee was paid.
The applicant submitted a revision to Textual Statement IV.A.3.c. relative to density of
commercial uses to correct a typographical error.
Planning Commission Meeting (4/19/05):
The applicant did not accept staff's recommendation but did accept the Commission's
recommendation. There was opposition present indicating that the development would have
an adverse impact on area roads and the public school system; the development was
premature until adequate infrastructure is in place and the amendment to the Upper Swift
Creek Plan is completed; the proposal lacks adequate open space; and the proposal lacked
adequate setbacks from Woolridge Road for the commercial mode.
Messrs. Bass and Gulley indicated that the proposal represented a quality development;
however, inadequate infrastructure to support the development exists. Concerns were
expressed relative to the impact on roads, schools and the environment. Mr. Bass also noted
that while the case was filed prior to February 11, 2004, significant amendments to include
adding acreage to the original request had been made since the original application.
Mr. Bass made a motion to deny the case. His motion was seconded by Mr. Gulley. A vote
on the motion was as follows:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Bass and Gulley
Messrs. Litton, Wilson and Gecker
Therefore, the motion failed.
30 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Mr. Wilson indicated that the applicant had recognized road needs in the area and had
addressed these needs by agreeing to pay for those impacts in the initial stage of the
development.
Mr. Gecker indicated that the amendment to the Upper Swift Creek Plan will not change
infrastructure needs. He noted that housing demand exists regardless of the number of lots
zoned each year and that the question is whether growth is guided to those lots which were
zoned prior to cash proffers or lots zoned with cash proffers. He further indicated that the
impact on roads is not being properly addressed since adequate road connections are not
being made between developments thereby exacerbating the impact on arterial roads.
On motion of Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Commission recommended
approval and acceptance of the proffered conditions on pages 2 through 13.
AYES: Messrs. Litton, Wilson and Gecker
NAYS: Messrs. Bass and Gulley
Applicant (5/23/05):
In response to concerns expressed at the Commission's public hearing that the application
would allow the entire property to be developed as a traditional single family residential
development, Proffered Condition 3 was amended as outlined herein.
Board of Supervisors' Meeting (5/25/05):
The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was support present indicating that the
development would provide a new collector road to relieve traffic on area roads; address
preservation of open space; and will upgrade existing equestrian facilities.
There was opposition present indicating the proposal should be deterred pending the
completion of the amended Upper Swift Creek Plan and lack of adequate infrastructure to
include schools and roads to support the development.
Mr. Barber stated the applicant provided a number of positives, including a new urbanism
design; a number of amenities, including preservation and incorporation of a horse farm into
the development; and a full cash proffer, including a transportation proffer up front. He
stated the proposed development represents all facets of smart growth. He stated, although a
land use plan may be under revision, it is not uncommon or unwise to refer to the Plan when
reviewing zoning requests. He further stated he is pleased with the fact that even those who
oppose the case are appreciative of its merits.
Mr. Miller stated the proposal is well planned, but he would rather be in a position to
support it after having the benefit of the Upper Swift Creek Plan revision.
31 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
Mr. King stated, although he agrees with Mr. Miller, he always supports property rights.
Mrs. Humphrey stated the review of this proposal began over 18 months ago, indicating that
she appreciates the applicant taking time to work with the needs of the community. She
further stated this is an exceptional zoning case. She expressed appreciation to the applicant
for offering the transportation cash proffer up front and keeping the rural character by
maintaining the horse barn, open pasture and fields. She stated she has had discussions with
the applicant regarding the possibility of a middle school site on this property and needs
additional time to continue the discussion.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion for the Board to defer Case 04SN0207 until July 27,
2005.
In response to Mr. Micas's question, Mrs. Humphrey stated she wants the public hearing for
Case 04SN0207 to remain closed.
Discussion ensued relative to acceptance of amended Proffered Condition 3, which was
submitted after the Planning Commission's hearing of the case.
On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. King, the Board suspended its rules at this
time to allow for acceptance of amended Proffered Condition 3.
Ayes: Barber, King, Humphrey and Miller
Nays: None
Absent: Warren
Mr. King seconded the earlier motion of Mrs. Humphrey for the Board to defer
consideration of Case 04SN0207 until July 27, 2005.
In response to Mr. Barber's question, Mr. Micas stated modifications could still be made to
the case during the sixty (60) day deferral period.
Mr. Barber then called for a vote on the motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. King,
for the Board to defer consideration of Case 04SN0207 until July 27, 2005.
Ayes: Barber, King, Humphrey and Miller
Nays: None
Absent: Warren
Applicant (6/29/05):
Revisions to Proffered Condition 7 for the reasons discussed herein were submitted.
32 04SN0207-JULY27-BOS
The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, July 27, 2005, beginning at 7:00 p.m., will take under
consideration this request.
