ENVIRONMENT AL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the west to Little Tomahawk: Creek: and then via Little
Tomahawk: Creek: to Swift Creek: Reservoir. There are no existing or anticipated on- or off-
site drainage or erosion problems. Little Tomahawk: Creek: does show signs, however, of
natural stream degradation in places.
The property is wooded and, as such, should not be timbered without obtaining a land
disturbance permit from the Department of Environmental Engineering (Proffered
Condition 1). This will insure proper erosion control measures are in place prior to any land
disturbance.
Water Quality:
The Board of Supervisors recently amended the Upper Swift Creek: Ordinances to require
on-site water quality control devices. This property must meet the .22 runoff limit.

PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Swift Creek: Fire Station, Company 16, currently provides fire protection and
emergency medical service (EMS). This request will have a minimal impact fire and EMS.
Transportation:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to Case 88SN0059 to permit Corporate Office
(0-2) uses. Case 88SN0059 established a maximum density for the overall development.
Because the applicant is not requesting to modify this maximum density, this request will
have no impact on the traffic anticipated to be generated by this development.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the limits of the Route 288 Corridor Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for a mix of professional and administrative offices, residential of various
densities and light industrial uses.
Area Development Trends:
Property to the south, east and west is zoned Residential (R-7) with Conditional Use
Planned Development, is part of the overall Center Pointe mixed use development and is
currently occupied by a church use or is vacant. Property to the north is zoned
Residential (R-9) with Conditional Use Planned Development and is part of the Charter
Colony mixed use development. The property to the north has been developed with
single-family residential uses or is vacant. A mix of uses is expected to continue in the
area as Center Pointe and Charter Colony continue to develop.
Zoning History:
In 1980, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the Planning
Commission, approved rezoning with Conditional Use Planned Development on the
request property and property to the south, east and west to permit a mixed use
development. The entire site, lrnown as the Evergreen Development, encompassed
approximately 1,511 acres. (Case 79S146)
On April 23, 1986, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning with Conditional Use
Planned Development on approximately 948 acres that included portions of Evergreen
plus additional property to permit a mixed use development with single family
residential, multi-family residential and residential townhouse, office, commercial, light
industrial and public/semi-public uses (Case 86S025). Conditions of zoning approval for
4
07SN0260- APR25- BOS
this development, commonly lrnown as Center Pointe, superseded the conditions of Case
79S146 for the request property.
On July 25, 1990, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation of the
Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 86S025 to permit use and bulk:
exceptions on a 948 acre tract (Case 88SN0059). A mixed use development, to include
residential, office, commercial, industrial and public/semi-public uses was proposed.
Development Standards:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Area. Although zoned
residentially, development should conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
for the Corporate Office (0-2) District which address access, park:ing, landscaping,
architectural treatment, setback:s, signs, buffers, utilities, and screening of dumpsters and
loading areas (Condition). The purpose of the Emerging Growth District Standards is to
promote high quality, well-designed projects.
Uses:
In addition to those uses permitted by conditions of Case 88SN0059, the applicant is
requesting the ability to develop Corporate Office (0-2) uses.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Route 288 Corridor Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for a mix of professional and administrative offices, residential of varying
densities and light industrial uses.
The recommended Condition, which requires compliance with Emerging Growth Area
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, will ensure compatibility and appropriate land use
transition of the proposed (0-2) development with adjacent residentially-zoned properties.
Given these considerations, approval of this request would be appropriate.
