CASE NUMBER: 79S147
APPLICANT: HENRY W. WOODY, INC.
REQUEST: Rezoning from,Agricultural (A) to Community Business
(B- 2) .
GENERAL LOCATION: Property fronts the southwest line of Old
Buckingham Road and is located northwest of its intersection
with Huguenot Road. Tax Map 16-12 (1) Part of Parcel 5.
SUBJECT PARCEL:
5.93 acres; zoned Agricultural (A); vacant.
ADJACENT PROPERTY: Zoned Agri~ultural (A) and Community Business
(B-2). Occupied by various commercial establishments or vacant.
UTILITIES, SOILS, DRAINAGE AND EROSION, EASEMENTS: The closest
water line is located along the south side of Route 60, approxi-
mately 400 feet from the subject property. Off-site easements
will be required. Public water is also available along Huguenot
Road and could be extended to the 'property from that point.
Property lies in the Falling Creek drainage area. Public sewer
is currently being extended to a point south of the request
parcel. Lines would have to be extended from that point to the
subject parcel.
Soils are gently sloping and under present conditions have only
a slight chance for erosion. Soils are fair for the proposed use.
Due to soil wetness, provisions should be made for foundation
drainage.
Property lies in the Falling Creek drainage area and also in
the Route 60/147 Drainage District. A pro-rata share for the
cost of drainage improvements in the area must be paid prior
to the issuance of any building permits. Dedication of
drainage easements may be necessary. A portion of the overall
drainage system may have to be installed in conjunction with
construction of this project.
PUBLIC FACILITIES: Property is served by Midlothian Fire Station,
Company Number 5. Fire service capability is adequate. One County
fire hydrant must be installed at the developer's expense.

TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: Vehicular movements will be distributed
over Old Buckingham and Huguenot Roads. It is estimated that
approximately 100 average daily trips w~ll be generated by th~s
request. Old Buckingham and Route 147 lS planned for relocatlon.
Route 147 is planned for widening in the future. It is recommended
that access to the property be confined to the western property
line due to the poor sight distance and the nearness of the
intersection to Old Buckingham Road and Huguenot Road. Furthermore,
access to Huguenot Road should be prohibited due to the heavy
traffic volumes.
LAND ASSESSMENT: 1979 Appraised value - $232,040.
GENERAL PLAN: Commercial use.
DISCUSSION: The applicants are requesting rezoning to the Community
Business (B-2) classification in order to pemit' construction of a
funeral home on the subject property. The applicant has prof erred
conditions that will insure architectural style and that the uses
pemitted will be limited to a funeral home.
Staff is of the opinion that the land use proposed will be compatible
with existing and projected land use in the area. The primary con-
sideration in the review and approval of this request should be
proper ingress and egress into the subject property. The applicants
have submitted a preliminary site plan which depicts two two-way
entrances/exits onto Old Buckingham Road and one one way exit onto
Huguenot Road. Huguenot Road is a heavily traveled arterial and
approval of any egress onto Huguenot Road will only lead to further
traffic congestion. Furthermore, the exit onto Huguenot Road is
approximately 150 to 200 feet from the intersection of Route 60 and
Huguenot Road and approximately 310 feet south of the intersection of
Old Buckingham Road and Huguenot Road. Allowing access to Huguenot
Road will only result in a hazardous traffic situation in that
additional turning movements will be created.
Furthermore, access to Old Buckingham Road should be located as
far west of its intersection with Huguenot Road as possible. Limiting
access to the western portion of the property will prevent traffic
back-ups in the vicinity of the intersection.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE IMPOSITION
OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS PROPFERED BY THE APPLICANT:
1. The request parcel shall be used exclusively for construction of
a funeral home.
2. The building shall be generally similar in architectural style to
Woody's Laburnum and Parham Chapels with changes necessitated by
virtue of the site and possible future enlargement.
