An addition to the existing hospital is planned. Specifically, the
applicants desire to construct a five (5) story wamen1s center. The
actual title of the property comprising the center will be held. by a

PUBLIC FACILITIES
Utilities:
Water:
The public water system is available and its use is required by
Ordinance.
Sewera~e .:
The public wastewater syst~ is available and its use is required by
Ordinance.
Dra~e and Erosion:
Site drains into the headwaters of Pocoshoclt Creek. Existing on- and
off-site drainage and erosion problems are identified on the Capital
Improvements Program (CIP). Engineering work is currently underway to
solve the problems. This development should. not accelerate the drainage
and erosion problems. It may be necessary to obtain off-site easements to
control runoff.
Fire Service:
Bon Air Fire Station, Company D4. Provide County water and fire hydrant
placement for fire protection purposes in compliance. with nationally
recognized standards (i. B., National Fire Protection Association and
Insurance Services Office). Fire lanes must be provided as per the
Chesterfield Fire Prevention Code, Section 313.
The proposed zoning and land uses will not generate additional need. for
fire protection services.
Transportation:
This request will not limit development to a specific land use or density;
therefore, it is difficult to anticipate traffic generation.. Based on
hospital trip rate, development could generate approximately 4,710 average
3
92SNOl18/PC/FEB26L
daily trips. These vehicles will be distributed along Johnston Willis
Drive and Midlothian Turnpike (Route 60) which had 1990 traffic counts of
5,122 and 43,Q25 vehicles per day, respectively.
LAND USE
General Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation
Plan, which designates the property for light commercial and office uses.
Area Development Trends:
This portion of Midlothian Turnpike and Jolmson-Willis Drive is
characterized by a mix of commercial and office uses fronting on Midlothian
'rurnpike and medical (Johnston-Willis Hospital) and office (Koger Center)
uses along Johnston-Wil~is Drive. Property to the north is zoned for, or
occupied by, a public park~ townhouse residential uses or office uses.
Generally, the hospital and related medical office uses, located on the
subject propertYf provide a transition between the Midlothian Turnpike
cOlIDDercial corridor and the Robious Road residential area.
Zoning History:
On July 5, 1977, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a Special Exception
to permit the construction and operation of a general hospital and related
facilities on the request property (Case 77A151).. The following conditions
were imposed.:
1. This Special Exception shall be granted to and for Hospital
Corporation of America and shall for the purpose of construction.
operation of a 400 bed general hospital and related facilities
including doctors off ices and nurses quarters, as well as related
auxiliary. services such as medical shops, pharmacies and the
like.
2. These conditions notwithstanding, the preljm~ngry site plan
prepared by Gresham. and Smith Architects dated 3/25/77 shall be
considered the schematic plan of development for the parcel in
question with final site plans to be approved by Division of
Development Review. In addition, all facilities constructed
shall have an architectural appearance simil.a.r to the Gresham and
Smi th rendering also submitted with tbe appli.cation.
3 . A public road having a right of way not less than 60 feet wide
shall be dedicated and constructed from U. S . 60 to the location
of proposed Greenfield Drive in Heri.tage Commons Subdivision.
This road shall be built to State st~nn~~ds and completed prior
to the issuance of any occupancy permit (the subdivision
regulations require that the Plannin.g Commission approve the
final location of this road prior to commencing construction).

4. A buffer strip having a width of not less than 25 feet shall be
provided along the north and northeast property lines adjacent to
the Heritage Commons Subdivision and Avon Park. This buffer
shall consist of existing vegetation which shall neither be cut,
removed to distw:bed other than by addi tiona.1 landscaping which
provides a thicker screening and/or is directed at maint:;lining
existing vegetation. No sidewalks, driveways, bui 1 dings- or other
facilities sba..l.l be permitted within this buffer.
5. The above noted conditions not withstanding all bulk requirements
applicable under the B-l Classification shall apply to this use.
6 . By approval of this request a 12 month extension to the. 18 month
limitation for Special Exception shall be al~owed.
It should be noted, that subsequent to the approval. of Case 77A151, the
Zoning Ord; n;qnrp was amended, and as a resul.t, permitted. a hospital through
the Conditional Use process on the request site. Therefore, Case 77Al31 is
now a Conditional Use.
On March 7, 1978, the Board of Zoning Appeals granted a Vari.an.c.e. to the
three (3) story height limitation to allow a five (5) story hospital.
On April 23, 1980, tbe Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable
recommendation from. the Planning Cnmrn; ~~ian,. approved an ;lm~nnmPnt to
Condition 3, Case 77A151 to permit temporary occupancy of the hospital
prior to the completion of same road construction (Case 805055).
-~ The applicant wishes to ;lmPTfd Condition 1 of Case. 77 Al.51, which granted the
use to and for Hospital Corporation of America only.. Further, the
applicant wishes to delete Condition 2, which required development to
conform. to the plan and. archi.tectural style depic.ted on plans. pre.pared by
Gresham and Smith Architects (see attarrll:ld).
Site DesiJtll:
The plan approved at the time of the orig~ Conditional Usa depicted a
specific layout (see attached plans). As indicated, the applicant desires
to delete Condition 2 to al10w more flexibility in site design. Approval
of deleting this requirement is recomm~nn~d provided future. development is
required to comply with new Zoning Ordinance. standards. The maj ori ty of
the request property lies within the Mid~athian Turnpike Past. Development
Area. Although a portion of the property lies beyond the Past Development
Area, the entire parcel. if zoned \Dlder the new Zoning Ordinance, would be
subject to the development standards of the Post' Development Area.
Condition 3 would require new construction to conform to the development
standards of the Zoning Ordinance for Post Development Areas which address
access, parking, lands cap ing J archi tectural treatment, setbacks, signs:l
buffers, utilities~ and screening of dumpsters and loading areas.
Architectural Treatment:
As previously indicated, Condition 2 of Case 77A1Sl required a specific
architectural treatment (see attached plans). Deletion of this condition
5
92SNOl18!PC/FEB26L
is requested. Deletion is recommended provided future development is
required to conform to new Zoning Ordinance architectural standards for
Post Development Areas and is compatible with the existing structure on the
site. (Condition 2)
Within Post Development Areas, no building exterior which would be visible
to public rights of way can be constructed of unadorned concrete, block or
corrugated and/or sheet metal. Mechanical equipment, whether ground-level
or rooftop, must be shielded and screened from public rights of way
( Condi tion 3). The architectural style of new construction should be
similar to that of the existing Johnston-Willis Hospital facility.
(Condition 2)
Buffers & Screening..:
Wi th the imposition of Condi tion 3, all solid waste storage areas (i. e. ,
dumpsters,. garbage cans, trash compactors., etc.) must be screened from view
of adjacent property and public rights af way by a solid fence, W~t dense
evergreen plantings or architectural feature, be separated fram any
residentially zoned property or any property being used for residential.
purposes by the principal building. Further, such areas wi thin 1, 000 feet
of any residentially zoned property or property used for residential.
purposes cannot be serviced between the hours of 9 : 00 p.. m. and 6:. 00 a.. m a
In addition, sites must be designed and buildings oriented so that loading
areas are screened from any property where loading areas are prohibited and
from public rights of way.
Further, as required by Condition 4 of Case 77Al51, a twenty-five (25) foot
buffer is required along the north and northeast property ~ines adj acent to
Heritage COlIIDODS and Avon Park Subdivisions.
Conclusions:
The proposed use conforms to the Northern Area Land Use and Transl1o.rt.at.i.on
Plan. Further, the recnmftlpnnpd conditions will ensure that development
conforms with current Zoning Ordinance standards. regardless of ownership.
Additionally, the recommended conditions ensure. quality development and
compatibility with existing area development.. .Therefore., approval of this
request is recommended.
