BUDGET & MANAGEMENT
Staff Contact: Natalie Spillman (804-318-8767) spillmann@chesterfield.gov
County finance staff is responsible for managing the finances of the County and making
recommendations to the County Administrator regarding the allocation of available resources for
the provision of services and capital facilities to serve the citizens of the County. Finance staff will
advise the County Administrator if changed economic circumstances require adjustments to the
budget or capital improvement program.
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
Staff Contact: Steve Adams (804-748-1037) adamsst@chesterfield.gov
The property could be developed for one (1) single family lot. Based on trip generation rates for
a single-family dwelling, development could generate approximately 15 average daily trips.
Traffic generated by development of the property is anticipated to be initially distributed along
Springford Parkway to Spring Run Road.
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of
the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This
proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation
improvements. The applicant has not offered to provide any mitigating road improvements.
The property is within Traffic Shed 12, which encompasses a large area in the south-central part
of the county. Many roads in this part of the county have little or no shoulders, fixed objects
(trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. The
traffic volume generated from this proposed residential development will contribute to an
identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing
transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which serve this shed need to be improved
or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic
from the proposed development.
An applicant may choose
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or
a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the impact on the coun
transportation network, Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single-
family dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of
Supervisors has adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of
$9,400 per dwelling unit as addressing the traffic impacts of residential development, with all of
the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. As such, if the applicant
impacts on the cou
of a cash proffer, $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be
SN0501-2019OCT23-BOS-RPT
5 20
appropriate. The traffic impact of the proposed development could be valued at $9,400 (1 x
$9,400).
The applicant has proffered to pay $9,400 for the dwelling unit (Proffered Condition 1.A.).
Proffered Condition 1.B. allows, at the option of the Transportation Department, a reduction in
the cash proffer payment based on the cost of road improvements provided by the applicant.
Specific road improvement(s) have not been identified. Staff supports the request.

Mission
High performing, high quality public schools contribute to the quality of life and economic
vitality of the County. The comprehensive plan suggests a greater focus should be placed on
linking schools with communities by providing greater access, flexible designs and locations that
better meet the needs of the communities in which they are located.
Capital Improvements
The School Board FY2020 adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) continues to support the
2013 voter approved school revitalization program that will replace or renovate ten schools and
construct one new elementary school to add capacity in the Midlothian area of the county. The
ten existing facilities that are part of the revitalization program are Beulah Elementary School,
Crestwood Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Ettrick Elementary School, Harrowgate
Elementary School, Matoaca Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Manchester Middle
School, Providence Middle School, and Monacan High School. A replacement Manchester
Middle School is planned for construction on the existing school site, and the Beulah
Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Providence Middle School, and Monacan High
School projects are complete. Additional school construction projects include a Matoaca
Middle School addition on the east campus site, and the new Matoaca Elementary School will
be constructed on the existing west campus site. Upon completion of the east campus
addition, the current west campus building will be demolished and Matoaca Middle School will
operate as a single, unified campus. Information on the CIP and School Board approved
construction projects can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted Budget for
FY2020.

where the proposal is located. Student Generation Factor (2017) is the actual total number of students by grade level
divided by the actual total number of housing units by housing type.
Design capacity is the maximum number of students the building can accommodate based on the Virginia Department
(2)
of Education Standards of Quality and the architectural program design of the existing building including all interior and
exterior renovations to date and an inventory of all available space. Design capacity does not include site-based
initiatives and is thus not subject to frequent change and represents prototypical design capacity using VDOE standards.
Program capacity is the maximum number of students the building can accommodate based on the Virginia
(3)
Department of Education Standards of Quality and the current school programming that may adjust the number of rooms
used for core or grade-level classrooms in the overall building design capacity.
Additional School Comments
As this application proposes one single-family dwelling unit, this request will have minimal
impact on school facilities.
