REQUEST
(AMENDED) Amendment of zoning approval (Case 02SN0209) relative to setbacks for an active
recreational facility and conditional use planned development to permit exceptions to ordinance
requirements in a Residential (R-12) Zoning District. Specifically, an amendment to Textual
Statement Item II.A.4 is proposed to reduce the setbacks for proposed play courts. An exception to
the provision for off-street parking spaces to serve these courts is also requested.
Notes:
A.Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions.
B.Conditions, exhibit and approved Textual Statement are located in Attachments 1 -3.
SUMMARY
(AMENDED) A residential subdivision, commonly known as Harpers Mill South, is being developed. A
neighborhood recreational area is proposed within this community which includes two (2) pickleball
courts. Conditions of zoning require these courts to be located a minimum of 100 feet from any
single-family residential lot and 50 feet from any existing or proposed public road. A reduction of
these setbacks is proposed, resulting in a 50-foot setback from a single-family lot and a 25-foot
setback from a public road.
The Ordinance requires the provision of four (4) off-street parking spaces per play court (eight total).
A conditional use planned development is requested for relief to this provision in favor of pedestrian
access to this neighborhood facility, as well as on-street parking.

Setbacks for active recreational facilities required from residential lots and
public roads to include buffering adjacent to lots. (Textual Statement Items
II.A.4 and 5)
Proposal
Two (2) pickleball courts are proposed as an amenity for Harpers Mill South Subdivision, Section
2. Conditions of Case 02SN0209 address development criteria for community recreational uses
to include setbacks, outdoor public address systems, lighting and platting (Attachment 3, Items
II.A. 3 9). These requirements were developed to mitigate impacts of such facilities on planned
residential uses within the community.
An amendment to Textual Statement Item II.A.4 is proposed to reduce setbacks for the
proposed pickleball courts from 100 to 50 feet from single-family residential lot lines, and from
50 to 25 feet from public roads, as depicted on the pickleball landscape plan (Attachment 2).
Conditions of Case 02SN0209 would continue to require buffering within the fifty foot setback
adjacent to residential lots. The pickleball landscape plan identifies landscaping adjacent to
these lots, which is consistent with this buffer condition, as well as along Blooming Road to
mitigate the visual impacts of these setback reductions. (Condition 1)
Parking Exception
The Ordinance requires the provision of four (4) parking spaces per pickleball court, or a total of
eight (8) parking spaces. An exception to this off-street parking requirement is requested. The
applicant indicates this exception is necessary due to a substantial slope on the subject
property and limited developable space. The recreational facility is a private neighborhood
of users will walk or bike to the facility.
In evaluating the requested setback and parking exceptions, staff believes consideration should be
given to the following:
Exceptions are specific to two (2) proposed pickleball courts as a neighborhood amenity
Landscaping will mitigate the effect of the setback reductions from adjacent lots and
Blooming Road
Recreational area is intended primarily for pedestrian access by residents
Parking can be accommodated along the public street per VDOT recommendations
519SN0567-2019MAR13-BOS-RPT
Given the factors noted herein, staff supports these requested exceptions, subject to the
Conditions in Attachment 1.
VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Staff Contact: Jonathan Phillippe (804-674-2560) jonathan.phillippe@vdot.virginia.gov
Given the higher speed and volume of traffic predicted to traverse Kenbrook Drive and turning
left onto Blooming Road, parking should be discouraged in front of 15900 Blooming Drive for
safety sake on the northern/eastern side of Blooming Road. Parking spaces will not be
delineated. Parking on either side of Blooming Road is acceptable beyond the entrance to
Blooming Court. Parking is also acceptable on the south side of Blooming Road east of
Kenbrook Drive.
FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

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.

The parcel is located within the mandatory water and wastewater connection areas. However,
based upon the sketch plan provided, it does not appear water and wastewater connections will
be necessary as part of the development of the site. Connection to public water and wastewater is
a proffered condition for this development (Case 02SN0209). The Utilities Department supports
this case.
