PUBLIC FACILITIES
Utilities:
Public Water System
There is an eight (8) inch water main along the east side of Huguenot Road. The use of
the public water system is required by Ordinance. The results of a computer simulated
fire flow test indicate that sufficient flow and pressure should be available to meet the
domestic and fire flow needs of the proposed use. Fire flow requirements are established
and coordinated through Fire Administration.
Public Wastewater System
There is a ten (10) inch wastewater line along the east side of Huguenot Road. The
applicant has proffered a condition requiring the use of the public system (Proffered
Condition 3). The results of a computer simulated hydraulic analysis indicate that
sufficient capacity should be available to accommodate flows for the proposed use.
Environmental:
Drainage and Erosion
Site drains towards Green Spring Road to the north and Huguenot Road to the west.
Drainage then enters a large paved channel before emptying into Falling Creek. There
are no existing or anticipated on- or off-site drainage or erosion problems.
The property is located in the Routes 60/147 Drainage District. Prior to the release of
a building permit, the developer must pay a pro-rata share of the cost of drainage
improvements in the District.
Fire Service:
Bon Air Fire Station, Company #4. County water and fire hydrants for fire protection
purposes must be provided in compliance with nationally recognized standards (i.e.,
National Fire Protection Association and Insurance Services Office). Fire Lanes must
be provided as per the Chesterfield Fire Prevention Code, Section 313.
Transportation:
This request will not limit development to a specific land use; therefore, it is difficult to
anticipate traffic generation. Based on high turnover sit down restaurant, bank with drive
through windows, and general office trip rates, development could generate
4
95SNOI68/WP/DEC14M
-
approximately 3,650 average daily trips. These vehicles will be distributed along
Huguenot Road which had a 1992 traffic count of 28,504 vehicles per day.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Huguenot Road as a major arterial with a recommended
right-of-way width of 120 to 200 feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate sixty (60)
feet of right-of-way measured from the centerline of Huguenot Road in accordance with
that Plan. (proffered Condition 5)
Development must adhere to the Zoning Ordinance relative to access and internal
circulation <Article 7). Direct access to major arterials such as Huguenot Road should
be controlled. The applicant has proffered that direct access to Huguenot Road will be
limited to one (1) entrance/exit located towards the southern property line. (proffered
Condition 6) This proffered condition also requires that this entrance/exit be shared with
adjacent property to the south. Alternative access to Huguenot Road can also be
provided via Green Spring Road which is located towards the northern property line.
Mitigating road improvements must be provided for the requested densities. The
applicant has proffered to construct an additional lane of pavement along Huguenot Road
for the entire property frontage plus a right turn lane at the approved access. (proffered
Condition 7) Construction of the right turn lane will require pavement widening along
Huguenot Road south of the subject property. The developer must acquire "off-site"
right-of-way to provide this improvement.
At time of site plan review, specific recommendations will be provided regarding access
and internal circulation.
LAND USE
General Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Huguenot/Robious/Midlothian Area Plan. which
designates the property lying generally east of Huguenot Road for regional mixed use.
Appropriate uses include a mixture of integrated office parks, regional shopping centers,
light industrial parks and/or higher density residential uses. The Plan notes that the
regional area should be designed to be compatible with adjacent uses, and provide
transitional features and land uses compatible with surrounding residential areas. The
Plan states that offices, higher density housing or other similar transitional use should be
located between more intense commercial or light industrial uses and surrounding
residential areas.
Area Development Trends:
This portion of the Huguenot Road Corridor is characterized by a mixture of
commercial, office and residential land uses. Property to the east is being developed for
a Lowe's Home Center and other commercial uses which have a community/regional
5
95SNOI68/WP/DECI4M
focus. With the exception of one (1) Agricultural (A) parcel occupied by a single family
dwelling, property to the north is currently occupied by office and very limited retail-type
uses. It is anticipated that the Agricultural (A) parcel will eventually be zoned for non-
residential use. Property to the northeast is zoned Residential (R-7) with Conditional Use
and is occupied by a multi-family complex. Property to the west is zoned for office use
and has been developed or is anticipated to be developed for such uses. The office
zoning to the west provides a transition between single family residences located west of
Huguenot Road and any development located east of Huguenot Road.
Site Design:
The request property lies with the Huguenot Road Emerging Growth Area.
Redevelopment of the site or new construction must conform to the development
standards of the Zoning Ordinance which address access, parking, landscaping,
architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers, utilities, and screening of dumpsters and
loading area.
It should be noted that the applicant may be planning an access to Green Spring Road.
Green Spring Road is a dedicated public right of way with a stub to the subject property.
Any access to Green Spring Road must be provided via this stub, with the Transportation
Department approval because a strip of land lying between the subject property and the
Green Spring Road right of way is zoned Residential (R-7). Commercial access through
residentially zoned parcels is prohibited by the Zoning Ordinance.
Architectural Treatment:
Consistent with the predominant architectural style of the area, the applicant has
proffered a condition which would require that all buildings have a Colonial style
(proffered Condition 2). Further, within Emerging Growth Areas, no building exterior
which would be visible to any agricultural, residential or office district or any public
right of way may consist of architectural materials inferior in quality, appearance, or
detail to any other exterior of the same building. There is, however, nothing to preclude
the use of different materials on different building exteriors, but rather, the use of
inferior materials on sides which face adjoining property. No portion of a building
constructed of unadorned concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal may be visible
from any adjoining agricultural, residential, or office district or any public right of way.
No building exterior may be constructed of unpainted concrete block or corrugated
and/or sheet metal. Mechanical equipment, whether ground-level or rooftop, must be
shielded and screened from public view and designed to be perceived as an integral part
of the building.

95SN0168/WP/DEC14M

Buffers & Screening:
The Zoning Ordinance requires that solid waste storage areas (Le., dumpsters, garbage
cans, trash compactors, etc.) be screened from view of adjacent property and public
rights of way by a solid fence, wall, dense evergreen plantings or architectural feature,
be separated from any residentially zoned property or any property being used for
residential purposes by the principal building, and that such area within l, 000 feet of any
residentially zoned property or property used for residential purposes not be serviced
between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In addition, sites must be designed and
buildings oriented so that loading area are screened from any property where loading
areas are prohibited and from public rights of way.
A portion of the adjacent property to the north is zoned Residential (R-7) and is vacant.
The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum fifty (50) foot buffer where adjacent to the
R-7 property. At the time of site plan review, the Planning Commission may modify this
buffer based on criteria outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, at such time that
the adjacent residential property is zoned or utilized for a non-residential use, the buffer
can be further reduced or eliminated.
Conclusions:
The applicant has requested a Conditional Use in conjunction with this rezoning to permit
banks, savings and loans and restaurant uses. These uses are permitted in a Corporate
Office (0-2) District, subject to certain restrictions. If those restrictions cannot be met,
then the Ordinance allows the uses through Conditional Use. Specifically, the Ordinance
would permit the banking and restaurant uses subject to the uses being located in projects
of twenty-five (25) acres or more; internal to the project, not along any road on the
periphery of the project; and primarily for the convenience of the employees of the office
uses. Further, at no time can any of the uses exceed thirty (30) percent of the gross
floor area under construction or occupied by permitted uses in such projects. The
Conditional Use has been requested because these restrictions cannot be met for the
restaurant, bank or savings and loan uses.
The proposed zonings and land use conform to the Huguenot/Robious/Midlothian Area
Plan, which designates the area for regional mixed use with a note that appropriate
transitions should be provided between more intense commercial uses and area residential
neighborhoods. The request, as styled, would permit office uses as well as banks and
restaurant uses which are typically limited to commercial zoning districts. Given the
office zoning and development to the west which provides a transition between Huguenot
Road and the residential neighborhood to the west, approval of these limited commercial
uses would be appropriate and consistent with the Plan. Specifically, the office zoning
to the west provides the transition between the subject site and area residential land uses.
In addition, the development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and proffered conditions
7
95SN0168/WP/DEC14M
further ensure land use compatibility and quality development. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of this request.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (11/15/94):
The applicant accepted staff s recommendation, but did not accept the Commission's
recommendation. There were a number of people present in support of the request
stating that a nice restaurant would be a good addition to the area and provide job
opportunities for area youth.
There were a number of persons present in opposition stating concerns relative to
approval of restaurant use would set a precedent for other restaurants and commercial
uses in a predominately office-type environment and a restaurant would generate late
night activity and traffic which would adversely impact area residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Easter stated that this area of Huguenot Road is characterized primarily as an office
corridor and that restaurant use would not be compatible with the office nature of the
area. He indicated that he could support the rezoning if the applicant would eliminate
the restaurant use from the request.
On motion of Mr. Easter, seconded by Mr. Cunningham, the Commission recommended
denial of this request and expressed the sentiment that they could recommend approval
of the rezoning if Proffered Condition 1. B. were eliminated.
AYES: Unanimous.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, December 14, 1994, beginning at 7:00 p. m., will
take under consideration this request.

CONCERNS AND ANSWERS
Our request conforms to the recently approved Area Plan, provides
all the desired transitions envisioned by same, and we feel we
have solved or adequately addressed all of the concerns of those
neighbors that have identified concerns. Below I attempt to
summarize the issues and the answers to same.
In the conversations I have had with residents of the nearby
neighborhoods, many said they were very much in favor of having a
family restaurant on our land. Others liked the idea, but had
reservations. Still others were and are opposed to it for
various reasons, though few specific reasons were ever
identified.
I have repeatedly asked this question: What is it about the
"character" of office buildings (which seem acceptable to
everyone) that is good, and about the "character" of a restaurant
that is bad? If these questions can be answered, then my goal
becomes finding ways of doing the restaurant so that we achieve
the 11goods" of office buildings, and avoids the "bads" they
perceive in restaurants.
Following are the concerns that have been expressed, and the
reasons that I feel that those neighbors are very safe in regard
to the concerns they have expressed.
PROLIFERATION OF RESTAURANTS: We have agreed to proffer a limit
of one on our land, and there is only one other site in the
entire area which could accommodate a restaurant without
violating the AREA PLAN. That is Mr Wilson's 1 acre between
us and Huguenot Commons. I know of no restaurant that can
fit on that site once fast-food and carry-out are excluded,
as they have been, but I submit that the risk is zero of
additional restaurants being permitted anywhere else, for
the following reasons. Note that in the case at Genito and
Hull street (#93SN0223, see enclosed) the requested
restaurant does NOT conform to that AREA PLAN so staff
recommended denial. Any future request for a restaurant on
any of the few vacant parcels in the area, ALL others of
which are immediately adjacent to residential with no
buffer, would be met with the same recommendation of denial.
What could be stronger than the combined "THREE STRIKES"
against a request that was in conflict with the Area Plan,
received a recommendation of denial from staff, and was
opposed by the residents? Again, I feel it is virtually
inconceivable that you, the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, would
permit such a requested use in the presence of said "THREE
STRIKES" .
-
-
TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS: There is no direction from
which a detour through those neighborhoods would be a short
cut, particularly since Olde Coach Drive will be "right-in,
right-out" once the center median is extended.
NOISE: OUTBACK uses a paging system if a guest fails to respond
to the "pager" which each is given when they arrive and give
their name. It functions in the waiting area and on the
front porch, and cannot be heard more than a short distance
from the front door. It is NOT a "loud speaker system".
Further, OUTBACK has emphasized that they would certainly
not alienate neighbors, nor lose a desirable location, over
the paging system.
LIGHT: The county ordinances prohibit light levels in excess
of .5 foot candles at the property line. Further, when the
restaurant is closed at night, it is dark. Often, lights
remain on in office buildings when tenants go home, so
lights are visible all night and/or weekend... particularly
visible if they are on the 2nd or 3rd floor. This is a one-
story restaurant.
NIGHT TIME ACTIVITY: Indeed there will be night time activity,
though OUTBACK stops serving at ~O:30 weekdays and 11:30 on
weekends. The site is ~ot v~ßible from any residence, nor
from either of the two streets entering the subdivisions
from Huguenot, so whether or not there were activity would
be an invisible matter. However, note that many offices
have night and weekend activity, though admittedly not as
much, and Churches, which the Homeowner Associations said
were quite acceptable, have almost exclusively night and
weekend activity, so that does not seem to be a true
concern.
ALCOHOL: OUTBACK has a liquor license so as to be able to serve
alcohol with meals. It is not a place to simply drink.
Liquor represents a very low percentage of total sales.
Please note that the proper transition is already achieved by the
existing Office locations adjacent to all residential except the
apartments, where we will provide the appropriate office
transition at our common corner. Further, within the past year
the development including the massive retail operation of LOWE'S
and others has been approved immediately adjacent to residential.
The proposed restaurant site is not adjacent to residential
zoning on any side... the buffers already exist. (Exception:
our neighbor at the southwest corner of our parcel still has his
house there, as I do on ours, but he is actively seeking to
market his acre to a higher use and move.)
We respectively request your approval of the requested rezoning
to 0-2 with the conditional use of a single family restaurant on
the South side of the parcel.

The Restaurant Company
Clover Hill Magisterial District
Northeast Line of Genito Road
REQUEST: Rezoning from Corporate Office (0-2) to Community Business (C-3).
PROPOSED LAND USE:
Commercial uses are planned.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend denial for the following reasons:
A. The proposed zoning and land uses sJ.Q.JHl~, confon~.J2 the Powhite/Route 288
Development Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, which designates the
request property for office use. Specifically, office uses or other uses of a
transitional nature, would ensure land use compatibility between existing
commercial development to the southeast, along Hull Street Road, and existing
single family residential uses to the north and northwest along Genito Road and
in Lake Genito and Genito Forest Subdivisions.
B. Wi~~Qpri'~J~.land use transitions, the potential exists for additional
commercial zoning to' òccur along the Genito Road corridor, northwest of its
intersection with Hull Street Road. In particular, there currently exists several
agriculturally zoned parcels along Genito Road in the vicinity of the request
property. Approval of rezoning on the request property, from an office to a
commercial zoning classification, could establish a P!~e4ent for future requests
to rezone these~gg£l!ltpraJ, parcels for commercial uses.
C. The applicant's proffered conditions refer to quadrants depicted on a plan
submitted with the proffered conditions. The plan as submitted is vaguely drawn,
thereby making enforcement of proffered conditions, relative to the locations of
uses and applicable development standards, subject to interpretation.

No Crime Institute
Tuesday nights through November
7 - 9 p.m.
Richmond Police Academy - 1202 W. Graham Road
This institute is a joint venture between the Richmond Police Department and Chesterfield County to sponsor a series of
classes to educate the general public about crime and prevention. They will have guest lecturers from MADD as well as
discussion on rape prevention, drug abuse and ways to keep your home and person safe. Attendance is not required
ever¡ Tuesday night. One may go to the ones of interest. Reservations are required by calling 780-6842 and the
Institute is free of charge. For directions, please call Joan Recher at 379-8665 or the Richmond Police at 780-6117.
NEWS IN THE NEWSIIIII
John McCracken from the Highway Department and Jim Smith from the Virginia Department of Transportation were
guest speakers at our last Civic Association meeting. John presented an aerial map and discussed the proposed median
that will extend from Alverser and Huguenot northward to the entrance of the office complexes on the East and West
side of Huguenot Road. This median will restrict turns on Olde Coach Drive to right turns in and right turns out only.
They are proposing that Chesterfield Towne Center (CTe) will have two left turn lanes in, two lanes going south on
Huguenot and one right turn only lane onto Alverser. The light at Huguenot and Alverser was a temporar¡ one, but will
become permanent.
There was interest expressed about the possibility of speed bumps being placed on Warminster, Olde Coach and
Blackheath Roads. The County is currently studying the effectiveness of speed bumps in another subdivision and based
on those results will make a decision about remaining subdivisions that desire them. They will need 75% neighborhood
agreement by petition signatures before speed bumps can be placed in a neighborhood.
VDOT will be doing a traffic study in our neighborhood after several complaints were registered about trying to make
turns onto Old Buckingham from Warminster and dangerous traffic flow on aide Coach. There are no plans in the next
six years to widen Old Buckingham.
HELP WANTED
There is still a need for block representatives in Section 3 of Olde Coach. If you can donate your time to help pass out
newsletters and keep your part of the community informed, please contact Logan Hawkins at 379-0157 or Joan Recher at
379-8665.
REMINDER - Please do not blow your leaves or grass clippings into the street or empty car ashtrays into the street. Not
only does it affect the beauty of the neighborhood, it impairs drainage of rain water and is a fire hazard from catalytic
converters on cars. It is a zoning violation in Chesterfield County to take this action and citations will be issued by the
Police Department if it continues.
Thank you goes out once again to Haynes Barger for compiling the information about composting for us as well as the
static stickers and information attached to this newsletter.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE - A STEAK HOUSE?
There has been discussion between the Civic Association and John Easter, our zoning representative, about the
possibility of a change in zoning on the property on Huguenot Road next to the Huguenot Road Apartments. We have
told John that we are opposed to a change in zoning with this property for several reasons. They include a negative
impact on traffic tl1rQ~ac ~)lf. qf!iohborhoog and that the proposed restaurant will have a bar and an outdOOf\loud sceakver
for paging patrons. We also expressed concern that additional restaurants or other businesses will be allowed to move-
onto t~'J~1f']QP!4¥ that will be undesirable for our neighborhood. We would like to hear your opinions on the matter.
Please call Warren Whitworth at 379-9059 with your opinion or John Easter at 783-1173.
Thanks!

7:30 pm Thursday, September 15
Meeting room, 1700 Huguenot Road
Please consider spending some time Thursday evening hearing"our
plans for our land on Huguenot. Road, and giving us your input,
concerns and suggestions.
We live at 1701 Huguenot Road, across from Olde Coach Village, on
6.5 Acres of woods, next to the road that goes back to Huguenot·
Apartments. We have agreed to put OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE on the corner
where our house is, subject to rezoning (the land is still zoned
"agricultural") and need to plan for commercial use of the rest.
I grew up in this house with my parents and four sisters, all but
one of whom still live close by, on or near Robious Road. We all
have kids (we. have six ourselves) and we care very much that
whatever goes here, now or in the future, is something positive. We
are inviting the homeowners of Olde Coach Village and Windsor
Forest to meet with us. John Easter of the county Planning
Commission will be there to provide answers and input from the
County's perspective. An executive from OUTBACK is also expected
to attend to provide input on their community involvement, and
business standards. .
The Prudential Jame.s River Realty company has offered to let us use
a meeting room in their offices across the street from us, at 1700
Huguenot Road. At 7:30 I will describe our plans as they stand so
far, and the rest of the time together will be informal dlscussion.
Coffee will be served.
