Transportation:
This zoning will not limit the development to a specific land use or
density; therefore, it is difficult to anticipate traffic generation.
Based on high turnover (sit-down) restaurant trip rates, development could
generate approximately 543 average daily trips. A child day care facility
could generate approximately 200 average daily trips. These vehicles will
be distributed along Buford Road which had a 1986 traffic count of 9,450
vehicles per day.
Development must adhere to the requirements of the

site plan review, specific recommendations will be provided regarding

LAND USE
General Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation
Planning Area, which designates the property and surrounding area for
general commercial use.
Area Development Trends:
The request property and surrounding area along this portion of Buford
Road, north of Midlothian Turnpike and south of North Providence Road, has
been zoned and developed for a mix of office and commercial uses.
Site Design:
The property is currently occupied by a child day care center with associ-
ated parking area located in front of the building, adjacent to Buford
Road, and a playground located to the rear of the building. Expansion of
the child day care center is proposed. Under the current B-1 zoning, the
center cannot provide the required additional parking to accommodate the
proposed expansion. Rezoning to C-2 will allow reduction of the total
number of parking spaces required for this use and allow reduction in the
size of individual parking spaces. However, the C-2 development standards
of the Zoning Ordinance will require the provision of parking lot
landscaping and a drop-off and pick-up area. The existing parking area
must be redes igned to accommodate these improvements. The parking area
improvements will be addressed through the site plan review process.
Architectural Treatment:
The request property lies within the Midlothian Turnpike Post Development
Area. Within Post Development Areas, the exterior of any building addition
visible from public rights of way cannot be constructed of unadorned
concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal.
Buffers & Screening:
Solid waste storage areas (dumpsters, garbage cans, etc.) must be screened
from view of adjacent property and public rights of way by a solid fence,
wall, dense evergreen plantings or architectural feature. Further,
mechanical equipment must be shielded and screened from public rights of
way.
Conclusions:
The proposed zoning and land use conform to the Northern Area Land Use and
Transportation Plan, which designates the property and surrounding area for
general commercial use. In addition, the proposed zoning and land use are
representative of development patterns along this portion of Buford Road,

request would be appropriate.
Therefore, approval of this
As noted in the Site Design portion of the "Request Analysis and Rec-
ommendation," the parking area must be redesigned to conform to C-2
development standards.
