there are no additional add-back requests included in Community
Development's proposed budget. He stated that the Community
Development Division is dedicated to managing change in the
County; promoting economic prosperity; and providing a high
quality of life for present and future operations. He reviewed
the Community Development's total proposed FY2000 budget by
department and FY99 estimated revenues by department. He then
reviewed 1998-99 successes in the Community Development
Division including the development of a site plan information
brochure, completion of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the
Chesterfield Development Information System; and completion of
a study of the Rewards and Recognition Program by the Community

3/24/99
Mr. Daniel stated that intimidation by uniformed officials
issuing a summons goes much deeper than issuance by a civilian.
Mr. McHale stated that he values the importance of the issuance
of a summons and that deputizing zoning inspectors would speed
up the summons issuance process. He requested that the County
continue to request assistance from its legislative delegation
in this endeavor.

6.B. THE ROUTE 288 CORRIDOR PLAN
Mr. Jacobson presented an overview of the Route 288 Corridor
Plan. He stated that this Plan takes advantage of the three
new interchanges planned along Route 288. He introduced Ms.
Sara Habeck, Senior Planner, to present an overview of the Plan
and the two implementing Ordinances.
Ms. Habeck reviewed the planning process for the Route 288
Corridor Plan including citizen participation; Planning
Commission work sessions and public hearings; and staff
participation. She reviewed the land use map for the Plan and
stated that the Regional Employment Center area, comprised of
over 2600 acres, would allow a variety of land uses including
light industrial, office land uses and a limited amount of
supporting retail. She stated that, after hearing the views
of Midlothian citizens, no land use changes have been
recommended to the Midlothian Village Plan, with the exception
of one area that had not previously had a land use designation.
She further stated that transitional land use is provided for
areas with adjacent residential neighborhoods, which would
allow light industrial uses, office uses and residential
development of varying densities. She reviewed major
recommendations of the Plan including Regional Employment
Center land use; amendments to the County's Design Standards
Manual to require quality design features; and an additional
study of proactive rezoning.
There was brief discussion relative to inclusion of proactive
rezoning in the adoption of the Plan.
Ms. Habeck continued to present ma[jot recommendations including
amendments to the County Code to require a new development to
hook up to public water and wastewater; encouragement of
regional BMP's for new development; new environmental
ordinances to be considered after the Regional BMP Study has
been completed; creation of an area around Hallsborough Tavern
and Bethel Baptist Church where new development is encouraged
to be compatible with historic structures; changes to the
3124199
99-251
County Thoroughfare Plan; consideration for a high end regional
mall or lifestyle center at the northwestern quadrant of Routes
288 and 60; and creation of a note for the Southern Otterdale
Road area maintaining residential land use until all properties
are developed for a Regional Employment Center. She reviewed
design ordinances including architectural compatibility and
quality; reduction in number of parking spaces for developments
with a pedestrian way system; changes in setback and
landscaping requirements; revised requirements for outdoor
storage and loading areas; and the requirement for BMP's as
visual enhancements. She stated that water and wastewater
ordinances would be for new development only and would not be
applicable to smaller developments. She further stated that
the requirement for water and wastewater hook up would bring
water closer to existing homes which currently have well water
problems. She reviewed the next steps involved in the Route
288 Corridor Plan.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Planning Commission's major issue
regarding the Plan was the development of the northwest
quadrant of Routes 288 and 60. He further stated that the
staff's original recommendation was for basic economic
development, light industrial, office uses and supporting
retail uses. He stated that the Planning Commission and staff
agreed that the northwest quadrant of Routes 288 and 60 would
be the County's best location for a new lifestyle center or
upscale regional shopping mall to compete with other
jurisdictions. He further stated that the staff and Planning
Commission had issues relative to alternative locations being
better sites for a typical regional shopping mall. He stated
that the Planning Commission discussed a detailed appendix
outlining the type of retail development appropriate at the
northwest quadrant of Routes 288/60. The Planning Commission
then requested a third, more general, alternative which
received the support of a majority of the Planning
Commissioners. He further stated that the Planning Commission
approved, by a 3-1 vote, with one abstention, the third
alternative which concluded that a regional scale high fashion
mall or lifestyle center would be appropriate if design
consideration was integrated with the primary uses of the Route
60/288 quadrant; a major criteria be included that the majority
of the anchor stores would serve a metropolitan-wide market;
and the inclusion of the possibility of neighborhood retail if
properly designed.
There was brief discussion relative to the definition of a
lifestyle center and the difference in size between a lifestyle
center and a regional scale high fashion mall.
Mr. Jacobson stated that staff was comfortable with the use of
the subject property as either a regional scale high fashion
mall or a lifestyle center.
There was brief discussion relative to competition in retail
development along Midlothian Turnpike and the declining of
retail along eastern Midlothian Turnpike.
99-252
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Route 288 Corridor Plan, like our
other Comprehensive Plans, recommends the best locations for
alternative land uses. He further stated that a good solid
location for neighborhood uses was provided for in the Plan.
He stated that the Plan does not propose to have commercial
ribbon development along Midlothian Turnpike. He stated that
the nature of the development of the northwest quadrant was the
only issue dividing the Planning Commission when they finished
their public hearings and analysis.
Mrs. Humphrey requested a meeting with Mr. Jacobson and Ms.
Habeck. She expressed concerns relative to the Planning
Commission's debate relative to the land use plan; the volume
of office and residential development included in the land use
plan; and the density of the residential area.
Mr. Warren requested a meeting with the Planning Staff and
expressed concerns relative to the Plan's impact on water
quality and residential density.
Mr. Daniel stated that he will not be in attendance at the
April 14, 1999 meeting and requested that no action be taken at
the public hearing. He stated that he will review a video of
the testimony heard at the public hearing and requested that,
after the public hearing, the Planning Staff prepare a complete
list of issues including their deviation from the Planning
Commission's approved Plan. He further requested that Board
members assemble their concerns to help bring closure to the
adoption of the Route 288 Corridor Plan at the April 28, 1999
meeting.
