Subject: Award of Contract to Diversified Ambulance BillinG, Inc. for the Provision of Ambulance Billing Services to the County and Ettrick- Matoaca Volunteer Rescue Squad County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: The Board of Supervisors is requested to authorize the County Administrator to execute a contract, in a form approved by the County Attorney, with Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. for the provision of emergency ambulance transport billing services. Summary of Information: After extensive study and a public hearing, the Board adopted County Code §10-10 on November 14, 2001, to establish a fee schedule for the provision of emergency ambulance transports by Chesterfield Fire and EMS and the Ettrick-Matoaca Volunteer Rescue Squad. The ordinance is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2002.. Due to logistics and the complexity of the regulations involved in billing for ambulance transports it was determined to privatize these services by engaging an experienced and reputable billing agent. Also, it is estimated that the overhead costs for an in- house billing system would be $80,000 per year greater than the projected annual fees for a billing contractor (in addition to start-up costs for in-house billing of $70,000 for the purchase of necessary equipment and computer resources). The billing agent Preparer: ~ ~ ~'-~' stephen A.

A Request for Proposal ("RFP") was advertised in December, 2001, and the County received four proposals. A selection committee comprised of five members of the revenue recovery implementation team, one member of a volunteer rescue squad, the chairman of the EMS advisory council, the County's internal auditor, a County purchasing agent, and a fire administration representative evaluated the proposals. Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. was the unanimous selection of the committee because of its knowledge, experience and reputation in the ambulance billing industry. In addition, Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. offered the lowest percentage of fees compared to the other vendors (ranging from 7.5% of deposits for Diversified Ambulance Billing compared to as high as 33% for one vendor) and estimated start-up costs of only $895. Diversified Ambulance Billing will be required under the contract to provide a comprehensive billing system for emergency medical transports that complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including the requirements of Medicare, Medicaid and private third-party insurance. Their services will include invoicing the appropriate health insurance carriers (including federal programs), documenting and posting receipts to all patient accounts, and monitoring delinquent accounts. Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. will be required under the contract to provide all of its services in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of customer service and responsiveness. The money received from billings will be deposited directly into an account controlled by Chesterfield County. In accordance with the Board's earlier directive, the determination of an individual patient's ability to pay and the necessity for any further collection efforts or write-offs will be controlled by the County under the supervision of the Chesterfield Fire and EMS Department. This proposal has been presented to the EMS Advisory Council which unanimously endorsed Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. as the vendor to provide these services. Due to Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc.'s expertise and experience in the ambulance billing industry, it is requested that the Board authorize the County Administrator to execute a contract with Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc. in a form approved by the County Attorney. CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 3 of 3 Meetine Date: March 13. 2002 Number Bud.qet and Mana.clement Comments: This request is to authorize the County Administrator to execute a contract with Diversified Ambulance Billing, Inc., for emergency ambulance transport billing services. This vendor's proposal calls for a billing fee of 7.5% of collected revenue plus minimal start-up costs, which is consistent with previous expectations for the net cost of this function. The FY2003 budgeted amount of EMS fee-for-service revenue allows for this proportion of outsourced billing costs. Preparer: ~~~,~"~'C~ Title: Director, Budget & Management Rebecca T.

Subject: Set Public Hearing to Consider Ordinance Amendments Regarding the Location and Regulation of Adult Uses County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: The Board is requested to set a public hearing for April 10, 2002 to consider the attached ordinance amendments regarding adult uses. Summary of Information: On August 22, 2001, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Planning Commission proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance relating to sexually- oriented businesses ("adult businesses"). On September 26, 2001, the Board adopted related changes to Chapter 15 of the County Code that require adult businesses to obtain a permit from the Chief of Police. On February 19, 2002, the Planning Commission held its Public Hearing and made its recommendation on the zoning amendments. I. Historical And Leqal Backqround For many years, the County Code has regulated adult businesses such as adult bookstores, videostores, and movie theaters. Existing zoning and regulatory ordinances applied to the proposed Foxxx Video Store application in July, 1999. More recently, citizens of Dale District complained to Mr. Miller about sexually explicit videostores and Henrico County encountered issues relating to an "exotic" dance club. These experiences illustrated that our zoning ordinance should be updated to address recent legal developments and current practices of the adult business industry. ~ ~ ((continued) Preparer: ' Q~ Title: County Attorney Steven L. Micas 1923(00) :56460.1(56482.1) Attachments: Yes ~ No 000111 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 2 of 3 Legally, the courts consider adult businesses to be protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Accordingly, to avoid an illegal governmental "prior restraint" on such First Amendment activity, the courts significantly prescribe the ability of local governments to regulate adult businesses. Generally local governments can only regulate adult businesses to minimize negative "secondary effects" that accompany these businesses. For example, many national studies have determined that adult businesses cause negative effects within a community such as lowered property values, increased crime rates and health-related concerns.~ Based in part on those studies, the courts also have upheld restrictions on the content of external signs and advertising at adult businesses to prevent a decline in surrounding property values, deterioration of the neighborhood and to protect children and unconsenting adults who may come into contact with such displays. When local governments require adult businesses to obtain a permit (such as the County's conditional use zoning permit), the courts require that (1) the decision to approve the permit be based on specific, objective criteria, (2) there be a prompt governmental decision on the application, and (3) there be a mechanism for prompt judicial review. II. The Proposed Zoninq Ordinance Amendments A. Generally The current zoning ordinance applies only to adult bookstores, videostores, and movie theaters. These uses are allowed solely by conditional use in the A, C-5, I-2 and I-3 Districts. The proposed amendments update definitions to address recent changes in the industry and broaden the zoning regulations to include adult stores, businesses providing adult entertainment and other adult business. Again, these adult businesses would be allowed only by conditional use in the A, C-5, I-2 and I-3 Districts. Further, the proposed amendments set forth, as required by law, specific and objective criteria for consideration of the conditional use application for these adult businesses. (continued) ~Planning staff has reviewed over thirty studies that confirm such negative secondary effects of adult businesses. These include studies from, among other places, Kansas City, Rochester, Denver, New York City, Newport News, Indianapolis and findings from a 2000 American Planning Association ("APA") study of adult uses. Copies of these studies are available for review by the Board. Staff also reviewed information from Henrico County and the City of Virginia Beach. Finally, staff reIies on findings set forth in numerous cases including City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986); Younq v. American Mini Theatres, Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976); and Steakhouse, Inc. v. City of Raleiqh, 166 F.3d 634 (4th Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 70 U.S.L.W. 3460 (2002) . 1~23(00) :56460.:1.(56482.1) 0(}01~.~ CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 3 of 3 B. Deadline for Action on Zoninq Request The original ordinance sent from the Board to the Planning Commission required the Planning Commission and Board to both act on a conditional use application for an adult use within 60 total days of filing, although the applicant may consent to a longer period of review. This period complies with the legal requirement for "prompt" governmental action. The Planning Commission recommended that the time period be expanded to 120 days, which is reflected in the attached ordinance. The County Attorney recommends that the amendment remain at 60 days to protect the defensibility of the entire ordinance. This is necessary because the ordinance limits all adult uses to conditional uses without providing any zoning district where such uses are allowed by right.~ C. Seqreqation of Adult Merchandise Further, Section 19-227.1 of the proposed amendments requires businesses that sell or rent adult merchandise to prevent examination of such merchandise by juveniles, generally by segregating the merchandise in a separate room. Significantly, this requirement would be applicable to all businesses and not just those defined as an "adult business" by the zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended that this requirement not be placed in the zoning ordinance, where existing businesses may be considered to be legally non-conforming, but should be placed in the police power sections of the County Code. The County Attorney recommends that the requirement remain in the zoning ordinance. Since this type of restraint on First Amendment activity could apply to preexisting businesses, taking it out of the zoning ordinance has a greater risk of jeopardizing the defensibility of the ordinance than applying that governmental restraint to future businesses seeking a conditional use. III. The Proposed Chapter 15 Amendments While identifying the proper place to codify the adult merchandise issue as instructed by the Planning Commission, staff also determined that language changes were necessary in Chapter 15 in light of Henrico County's recent experiences and the evolving practices of the adult business industry. Staff's recommended revisions are largely housekeeping changes to make the ordinance ~clearer, more complete and more defensible. Staff has added two new substantive provisions which require 1) adequate lighting for all entrances and exits serving an adult business and 2) surveillance cameras and tape recorders to monitor the premises of an adult business. Staff recommends that the Board set a public hearing for April 10, 2002 on the attached ordinance amendments. 2The bold and double-underlined language in the attached zoning amendments are modifications recommended by staff since the Planning Commission's February 19, 2002 public hearing.

Jacobson Attachments: Ycs Title: Director of Planninq C:DATNAGENDAJ2002/MAR 13.1/GOK 00123 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 2 of 2 In response to citizen concerns, invest resources in a study for creating a system of linear trails and greenways, for both environmental protection and recreational use. In response to citizen concerns, invest resources in a study for preserving and promoting important historic resources. In response to citizen concerns, enhance views along Route 10 by amending the Zoning Ordinance to: increase setbacks along the road; encourage preservation of the existing high-story and under-story trees; and encourage future utility lines to be located interior of a development to minimize the visibility of above-ground utilities from the road. In response to citizen concerns, ensure compatibility with nearby neighborhoods by amending the Zoning Ordinance to require buildings in the Mixed Use Corridor to be compatible with residential architecture, as well as with buildings within the same project or within the same block or directly across any road, In response to citizen concerns, mitigate the views of industrial development from Old Stage and Coxendale Roads (the entrances into Henricus Park and Dutch Gap Conservation Area) by amending the Zoning Ordinance to: increase setbacks along these roads; encourage preservation of the existing high-story and under-story tree canopy; and encourage future utility lines to be located interior of a development to minimize the visibility of above-ground utilities from the road. In response to citizen concerns, reinforce and enhance a sense of neighborhood identity and of 'place' for the Enon community by amending the Zoning Ordinance to provide village design standards for the Enon Core, a small community of distinct character located along Route 10 east of 1-295. These standards are similar to those required in other village areas (Bon Air, Chester, etc.). At a public hearing on January 29, 2002, the Planning Commission recor~nended approval of the Consolidated Eastern Plan and companion Zoning Ordinance amendments. 000124 Consolidated Eastern Area Comprehensive Summar of Existing Conditions and Trends Plan Amendment Introduction: The consolidated Eastern Area Comvrehensive Plan amendment study area is bounded by the James River to the north, the Appomattox River and Swift Creek to the south, and the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers to the east. The western boundary follows 1-95 from Swift Creek north to Coxendale Road, then generally follows manmade features and property boundaries north to the James River at Drewry's Bluff. The study area includes approximately 9 percent of the land area of the County and lies within the Bermuda Magisterial District. As shown on the attached map, the consolidated Eastern Area Plan study area consists of the following Plan areas: the Eastern Area Plan (adopted in 1984), the Eastern Area Plan Amendment (adopted in 1984), the Ruffin Mill Area Plan (adopted 1987) and the Meadowville Area Plan (adopted in 1990). These existing land use plans range in age from 10 to 16 years and represent a fragmented Plan for this portion of Chesterfield County. In addition, these amendments predate the adoption of the Intr0du~tion to the Cgmprehensive Plan which now serves as the primary outline for guiding the County's future growth. The vitality of commercial and industrial areas along the Rt. 10, 1-95 and 1-295 corridors, together with the wellness of neighborhoods within the study area, should be reassessed in a comprehensive manner. In addition, the visual character of existing and anticipated development along key roads, as well as the status of historic, cultural and natural resources, should be examined. Land Area: The study area comprises approximately 9 percent of the land area of the County. Po0ulation: The 1998 population estimate for the study area represents approximately 4% of the County's estimated total population for that year. The following table provides a summary of estimated population growth for the study area, between 1990 and 1998, as compared with estimated population growth for the entire County: 1990 1998 % increase Study area 6,738 10,170 51 Countywide 208,100 254,000 22 Housing: The study area has a mix of older and newer neighborhoods, as well as a mix of housing types which include primarily: single family residences on acreage parcels and in subdivisions; multi-family residences; and manufactured or mobile homes in manufactured or mobile home parks. The following table gives a summary of housing types, based on data collected by the Planning Department in 1997 and 1998: Housing Type Number of units in % of total units % of units Countywide study area in study area Single family residences 865 17 9 on acreage parcels Single family residences 3,683 72 + 5 in subdivisions Single family residences 302 < 6 14 in mobile home parks Multi-family residences 286 < 6 < 3 in apartment complexes Total 5,136 100 6 j imc :\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 1 O ~ Oi ~ 5 Zoning Activity: The following table provides a summary of zoning activity for the study area since 1990: Type of Zoning Activity Acreage Rezonings from agricultural to industrial classifications 532 acres Rezonings from agricultural to commercial classifications 89 acres Rezonings from agricultural to residential classifications 72 acres Rezonings from industrial to commercial classifications 10 acres The following table summarizes net zoning gains/losses within the study area since January 1990: Industrial + 522 acres Commercial + 99 acres Residential + 72 acres Agricultural - 693 acres Zoning acreage.s: The following table provides a summary of generalized existing zoning categories for study area, as well as a comparison of developed to vacant acreage: Zoning Acres % of 1 Developed Vacant or with % Vacant or % of totalI minimal with minimal County improvements improvements -wide Agricultural 9,195 35 [] 3,925 5,270 57 5 Residential 4,012 15 [] 2,722 1,290 32 5 Office/Commercial 746 3 [] 487 259 34 7 Industrial 10,727 41 [] (industrially) 3,179 7,548 62 57 Industrial 1,400 al /other* / 1,400 N/A N/A 7 / / Totals 26,080 100 I 11,713 14,367 55 9 * This industrially zoned acreage is developed for public and semi-public uses or is within conservation areas. Development Patterns Residential: As noted herein, residential development within the study area is characterized primarily by single family residences on acreage parcels, single family residences in subdivisions, mobile homes in mobile home parks, and apartments in multi-family complexes. The following generally summarizes residential development within the study area: · Single family residences on acreage parcels front most of the study area's major arterial roads, including Rt. 10. · Single family residences in subdivisions within the study area include a mix of older and newer neighborhoods, with most new subdivisions developing south of Rt. 10 and within Rivers Bend. 2 mobile home parks are located within the study area. Harbour East Village is located on the north line of Rt. 10, east of !-95, and is the third largest mobile home community in the County and has 279 mobile home sites. Bermuda Trailer Park is located on the north line of Rt. 10, west of 1-295, and has 23 mobile home sites. There are 2 multi-family complexes within the study area. Winfield Apartments, located on the north line of Rt. 10, east of 1-295, consists 36 multi-family units. Rivers Bend Apartments, located in the Rivers Bend mixed use development, consists of 250 multi-family units with additional units planned. jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 2 000~5~ Single Family: A review of Chesterfield GIS data for 1989 and 1999 reveals an increase of 1,289 single family residences in subdivisions within the study area during this time period, from 2,073 residences in 1989 to 3,362 residences in 1999, or an increase of 64%. A similar review for the entire County during this time period for single family residences in subdivisions reveals a Countywide increase of 27%. According to the Residential Report for 1999, the study area had an inventory of 2,481 undeveloped lots in recorded subdivisions and an additional 729 tentatively approved lots, for a combined total of 3,210 lots that could potentially be developed (approximately 49% of all lots within the study area). For the same year, the County as a whole had an inventory of 27,950 such lots (approximately 25% of all lots within the County). Multif~mil¥: Between 1990 and 1999, the study area's only multifamily development was Winfield Apartments which has 36 multi-family units. In 1999, an additional 250 units were developed in Rivers Bend (Rivers Bend Apartments). Rivers Bend Apartments has tentative plans to build an additional 50 units. Manufactured or Mobile Homes: The 1990 Residential Report recorded 295 mobile homes in 2 manufactured or mobile home parks within the study area (Bermuda Trailer Park and Harbour East Village). The 1998 Residential Report recorded 302 units in these 2 manufactured or mobile home parks, an increase of only 7 units. Although these mobile home are at or near capacity, there has been no zoning activity to expand the inventory of mobile or manufactured home park sites since Harbour East Village was zoned in 1972. Office: In recent decades, major office zoning and development activity (office park use) has occurred in the northern and western portions of the County, along Midlothian Turnpike and the Route 288 corridor. In addition, many properties zoned for such use a decade or more ago have yet to begin developing. The only recent office development activity in the eastern portion of the County, and within and in proximity to the study area in particular, has been for offices supporting retail and industrial uses and those supporting the needs of area residents for personal and professional services. A review of building permit and construction activity since 1990 suggests that approximately 17,500 square feet of freestanding offi ce space on 2.5 acres has been developed within the study area in the last decade. Commercial: Commercial development patterns in the study area is primarily characterized by commercial zoning and uses along the Rt. 10 corridor. Some of this existing commercial development consists of small businesses on parcels having depths of 200 to 300 feet. Exceptions to this pattern can be found at the Rt. 10/Old Stage Road intersection and the 1-95/Ruffin Mill Road intersection, both of which have developed significant nodes of hotel, motel and supporting automobile-oriented uses (fast food restaurants and motor vehicle service stations). Another exception is the Rt. 10/Rivers Bend Boulevard intersection where a neighborhood scale shopping center (Rivers Bend) has developed as the only shopping center within the geography of the study area. As noted herein, the study area experienced a net increase of 99 acres of commercially zoned land since 1990. In addition, site plans for approximately 274,000 square feet of new commercial use within the study area have been submitted to the County for review and approval since 1990. All of this commercial site plan activity has occurred along the Rt. 10 corridor and includes primarily shopping center development (Rivers Bend Shopping Center), hotels, motels, fast food restaurants, vehicle sales and/or service, and personal services (banks, etc.). Hotel/Motel: Hotel/motel development within the study area is concentrated at the intersection of Rt. 10 and Old Stage Road and at the Walthall interchange. Recent zoning activity at the Walthall interchange, and in the vicinity of the Rt. 10/1-295 interchange, indicate potential demand for additional hotel/motel development in these areas. Industrial: Most industrial zoning and land uses are located north of Rt. 10, where several of the County's largest industrial uses and employers are located. These include Philip Morris, Honeywell, Virginia Power, and DuPont Films. However, significant areas of existing or potential industrial use (based on current development and zoning patterns) are located in the vicinity of the southwest quadrant of Rt. 10 and 1-95, at the Walthall interchange along 1- 95, and along Ruffin Mill Road. Most new industrial development is occurring in the vicinity of the Walthall interchange and along Ruffin Mill Road, an area that is part of the Walthall Enterprise Zone. The Enterprise Zone is jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pdf OOO1Z7 designed to increase private investment and job creation in this part of the County, encourage the development of manufacturing and commercial uses, and promote economic activity. As noted herein, the study area has gained 522 acres of industrially zoned land since 1990, by far the greatest increase of any zoning category, and industrially zoned land represents the largest percentage of zoning within the study area. In addition, County records suggest that site plans for approximately 3,017,626 square feet of new industrial activity within the study area have been submitted for review and approval since 1990. Much of this square footage has been built. The County has long recognized portions of the study area as having the potential for attracting major industrial development. Recent improvements to the Walthall Interchange and the completion of 1-295 through the study area in 1992, together with the area's access to the CSX rail system and proximity of the Port of Richmond and Richmond International Airport, provide this part of the County with enhanced access to regional, national and international markets. In addition, most potential industrial sites within the study area are, or will soon be, well served by utilities. The County's Economic Development Department actively promotes potential industrial sites around the Walthall Interchange (including Ruffin Mill Road within the study area and along Jefferson Davis Highway west of the study area) and at the Rt. 10/I-295 interchange. Over the last 4 years development in the Walthall Interchange area alone has generated more than $134,000,000 in new investment, nearly 1,000 new jobs, and a significant strengthening of the County's tax base. Most of this new development has occurred within the study area. Of the 12,127 acres of industrially zoned property within the study area, approximately 1,400 acres, or 11%, has been developed for public and semi-public uses or is located within conservation areas. An additional 7,548 acres, or 62%, is vacant or has minimal improvements. Physical constraints that might affect the development potential of some of these vacant or minimally improved industrially zoned properties include: existing residential neighborhoods in proximity to existing/potential industrial sites which must be protected from encroachment, noise, traffic and other impacts by non-residential uses; the lack of direct or easy access to the interstate highway and rail systems; wide floodplains which may limit development of and/or access to parcels; and Virginia Power high tension easements which may limit development on the parcels these easements cross. Employment and Jobs: In 1998, approximately 5,400 employed persons resided in the study area. At the same time, area businesses and industries generated approximately 11,200 jobs, or approximately 2.1 jobs for each employed person residing in the area. Tax Revenue: It is difficult to obtain information about tax revenue generated for specific geographies of the County. However, a review of County assessment data for land and improvements, less exempt properties, suggests that the study area is a net generator of real estate tax revenue. Specifically, County assessment records indicate that land and improvements within the study area account for approximately 7.7% of total assessed taxable value Countywide. As noted herein, the population of the study area is approximately 4% of Countywide population estimates. A further analysis of real estate assessment records suggests that approximately 40% of the County's assessed value for all industrial improvements (exclusive of land value) is located in the study area. This might suggest that 40% of the industrial development of the County is located in the study area which, as noted herein, includes only 9% of the County's land area and 4% of the County's population. Conversely, analysis of real estate assessment records suggests that only 3% of the County's assessed value for all commercial and office improvements is located within the same geography. Environmental Features: As noted herein, the James and Appomattox Rivers, together with Swift Creek, form boundaries of the study area. Other significant waterways that drain through the study area include Kingsland Creek, Proctors Creek, Redwater Creek, Ashton Creek and Johnsons Creek. All of these rivers and streams have floodplains and Resource Protection Areas (approximately 19% of the study area) which are identified on the Water Oualitv Protection Plan as potentially environmentally sensitive areas. Additional floodplains may exist in the study area; however, these floodplains have not yet been calculated due to lack of development. Further analysis of these additional floodplains would occur with any new development on property that contains these floodplains. jimc :\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 4 O 0 0~.~ ~ ~ The study area is generally characterized by fiat to gently rolling topography. Significant slopes and erodable soil conditions may exist along stream and river valleys. These conditions should be managed on a site,by-~site basis as development occurs.

The Eastern Area of the County consists of the Eastern Area Plan, the Eastern Area Plan Amendment, the Ruffin Mill Area Plan and the Meadowville Area Plan. These existing land use plans range in age from 10 to 16 + years and represent a fragmented Plan for this portion of Chesterfield County. These Plans predate the adoption of the Introduction to the Comprehensive Plan, which now serves as the primary outline for guiding the County's future growth. Goal - The Eastern Area of the County should continue to be a prime area for economic development, as well as desirable place to work and live. To these ends, new residential and non-residential development and redevelopment should occur in a manner that protects the existing residential community and enhances existing nearby neighborhoods, businesses and industries. The transportation network should accommodate the free flow of traffic and provide safe and efficient access. The visual character of existing and anticipated development along key roads, as well as the status, preservation and function of historic, cultural, scenic and natural resources, should be examined. Key Recommendations Economic development: Reserve and promote vacant lands in proximity to the study area's major interchanges for industrial and other employment generating uses. Industrial and other employment generating uses should occur in a manner that protects nearby neighborhoods. Commercial uses: Provide convenient locations for personal service and retail uses that serve local industries and their employees, as well as serve area residents. Commercial uses that serve larger, regional markets may be appropriate where such uses can be provided with easy access to 1-95 and 1-295. Strip commercial corridor zoning and land uses: Encourage redevelopment of older strip commercial uses. Redevelopment should occur in a manner that improves access to area properties and protects nearby neighborhoods. jimc:\dat a\plan s\bosplan.pdf 11 Where appropriate, encourage a greater depth of development that provides less intense, transitional uses adjacent to residential areas. Residential areas: Protect stable residential areas from commercial and industrial encroachment, as well as from the potential adverse impacts of nearby commercial and industrial redevelopment. Residential uses located in areas where redevelopment is deemed appropriate, and which are likely to experience increased pressure for redevelopment to non-residential uses, should be protected until appropriate redevelopment occurs Encourage new residential subdivisions with sole access via existing or planned subdivision streets to meet or exceed the average lot size of, and have a density equal to or less than, the existing subdivisions. Rt. 10 Visual environment: Assess the need for additional design guidelines for furore development along the Rt. 10 corridor. If additional design guidelines are merited, develop these guidelines together with a strategy for their implementation. Old Stage Road and Coxendale Road Visual environmenm: Assess the need for additional design guidelines for furore development along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads. If additional design guidelines are merited, develop these guidelines together with a strategy for their implementation. Historic resources: Assess the need to develop guidelines for preserving and interpreting historic and cultural resources. If guidelines are merited, develop these guidelines, together with a strategy for their implementation. Natural resources: Assess the potential for promoting open space corridors as a framework to protect the natural environment and scenic values, provide land use transitions, and provide outdoor recreational opportunities. If merited, develop guidelines together with an implementation strategy for their implementation. Transportation; Provide a safe, efficient and cost effective transportation system. jitnc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pdf 12 0 C 0 ~- ~ ~ Draft (r~vis~O 1/lO/01) Consolidated Eastern Area Plan Introduction Study Area Boundaries The boundaries of the consolidated Eastem Area Plan amendment study area includes the James River to the north, the Appomattox River and Swift Creek to the south, and the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers to the east. The western boundary follows 1-95 from Swift Creek north to Coxendale Road, then generally follows manmade features and property boundaries north to the James River at Drewry's Bluff. The study area includes approximately nine percent of the land area of the County. Magisterial District The Plan study area lies wiffdn the Bermuda Magisterial District. How this Plan works The consolidated Eastern Area Plan amendment, once adopted by the Board of Supervisors, will become part of The Plan For Chesterfield, the County's comprehensive plan. The Plan For Chestc:~field is used by County citizens, staff, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as a guide for furore decisions affecting the County including, but not limited to, decisions regarding future land use, transportation networks and zoning actions. Once the consolidated Eastern Area Plan is adopted, it will replace the current Eastern Area Plan (adopted in 1984), the Eastern Area Plan Amendment (adopted in 1984), the Ruffin Mill Area Plan (adopted 1987) and the Meadowville Area Plan (adopted in 1990). It will also amend the Thoroughfare Plan. Staff Analysis The Planning Department, in conjunction with other County Departments, assessed existing conditions within the study area and performed a land use analysis to anticipate development trends in the area to the year 2020. The results were summarized and shared with public officials and interested citizens. These assessments and analyses, together with input from public officials and citizens, serve as the basis for the following key fmdings and recommendations. A smnrmry of the existing conditions assessment and an analysis to anticipate development trends is available from the Chesterfield County Planning Department (Consolidated Eastem Area Plan Amendment - Summary of Existing Conditions and Trends). The complete texts of the assessment and analysis are also available in separate documents. jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 13 These documents are entitled Eastern Area Plan Study Area - Existing Conditions and Issues and Eastern Area Plan Study Area - Land Use Analysis, 2000 to 2020. In addition, the Executive Summaries and various analyses for the Eastern Area Plan (adopted in 1984), the Eastem Area Plan Amendment (adopted in 1984), the Ruffin Mill Area Plan (adopted 1987) and the Meadowville Area Plan (adopted in 1990), as well as the Plans, were reviewed and relevant elements were incorporated into the consolidated Eastern Area Plan amendment. These Executive Summaries, analyses and Plans are also available in separate documents. Citizen Participation Planning Department staff, together with representatives of other County Departments, met with area residents, community groups, property owners, business persons and representatives of the industrial community to discuss the Plan amendment process. Citizens shared concems and ideas with staff and offered suggestions that serve as part of the basis for the following Goals and Recommendations. A Plan for Action The consolidated Eastem Area Plan should guide furore development in ways that provide maximum benefits to Chesterfield County's current and future citizens, land owners, businesses and development community. Specifically, the Code of Virginia defines the primary purpose of the Comprehensive Plan as follows: To guide and accomplish a "coordinated, adjusted and harmonious development" of County lands "which will, in accordance with present and probable furore needs and resources, best promote the health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare" of County citizens. The Land Use Plan makes no attempt to determine the current or short-term marketability of any one parcel for any one use. Rather, it attempts to anticipate future needs for broad categories of uses throughout the study area for the next twenty years. In addition, the Plan does not rezone land, but serves as a guide for making decisions relative to future rezoning applications. The Plan may also suggest Ordinance amendments and other actions, such as corridor and village design studies and historic designations, which benefit the County. Finally, the Plan attempts to suggest the proper relationship of land uses to one another and to the wider community. Market forces (availability and price of land, location, character and age of competing businesses, site specific characteristics such as topography and visibility from roads, accessibility to roads, etc.) wood decide the desirability of a specific use on one parcel over another, as well as the timing for developing such use, based on the principle of 'highest and best use'. The zoning process wood determine the appropriateness of such use on a case-by-case basis by applying principals of desirable land use development patterns and adequacy of public facilities embodied in the Comprehensive Plan. jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 14 O 0 0]- 3 S To this end, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have incorporated into Plan amendments certain guidelines that promote development pattems which facilitate the orderly, harmonious, predictable and efficient use of the County's most limited resource - - the 446.5 square miles of land and water within its boundaries. These guidelines, as they apply to specific Plan areas of the County, are embodied in the Goals and Recommendations of adopted Plan amendments. Goals and Recommendations Consolidated Eastern Area Plan Area The Eastern Area of the County should continue to be a prime area for Chesterfield's economic development. In addition, residential neighborhoods should be protected as major non-residential development occurs. The visual character of the commtmity along key roads, as well as the identification and status of significant historic, cultural, scenic and natural resources, should also be examined. The Goals and Recommendations that most appropriately apply to the consolidated Eastern Area Plan study area are: Goal 1 Promote the study area as one of the County's prime locations for industrial and commercial development: Recommendation Continue to use the enterprise zone to encourage the development of vacant commercial and industrial areas, as well as redevelopment of older uses commercial and industrial uses. [] Direct potential new commercial and industrial development to appropriate locations within the study area as suggested by the Plan. [] Develop the Meadowville Technology Park as a major regional employment center. A Countywide pattem of orderly development directs growth to appropriate locations within developed areas, such as portions of the study area, and encourages fringe development as an orderly extension of these developed areas. The resulting growth pattem ensures efficient use of land by decreasing sprawl, promotes cost-effective use of existing and planned public facilities by promoting infill development, and encourages economical extensions of public facilities by minimizing leapfrog development. Further, it stimulates investment and reinvestment in existing viable residential, commercial and industrial areas. This growth pattem also reduces development pressure on areas within the County where the j imc :\data\plan s\bosplan.pdf 15 ~0 0 01 B ~ Comprehensive Plan suggests growth should be deferred until orderly extensions of utilities are provided. Limitations and opportunities: Road construction over the last twenty years has enhanced access and improved travel within the area, as well as access to larger markets. The study area also encompasses much of the Walthall Enterprise Zone which has as its objectives: increased private investment and job creation in the area; rehabilitation of the area's existing, older commercial and industrial structures; encouragement of new manufacturing and commercial uses in the area; and revitalization of the area through increased economic activity. The County has also extended utilities and other infrastructure improvements to serve the Meadowville Technology Park site, positioning this Park as a prime location within the regional marketplace for attracting industrial and other employment generating uses. Goal 2 Optimize economic development opportunities: The areas around the Walthall, Route 10/1-95 and Route 10/1-295 Interchanges have good access to regional markets. 1-95 and 1-295 also provide these areas with access to national and international markets through the interstate transportation system, the Port of Richmond and Richmond Intemational Airport. Therefore, these areas are identified as having potential for continued development of industrial and other employment-generating uses, as well as commercial development that support these uses. Vacant land in these areas, as well as improved properties with potential for redevelopment, should be reserved for industrial and other employment generating uses. Commercial development serving the industrial community and larger markets would also be appropriate near the interchanges. New residential development, as well as piecemeal, strip commercial development that serves smaller markets, should be discouraged in these areas. Recommendations Reserve for industrial and other employment generating uses, land within the study area that the Plan suggests is appropriate for such industrial and other employment generating uses. Limited commercial uses may be appropriate, in areas suggested for industrial and other employment generating uses, if such commercial uses are supporting of, accessory to, and incorporated into the design of, larger industrial and other employment generating developments. Through the zoning process, encourage owners of properties to aggregate acreage in a manner that provides coordinated, safe and efficient access for all parcels to the transportation network. To this end, projects should be large enough to: provide an intemal road and/or driveway network for development; provide public road rights of way and/or driveways with access easements to adjacent properties with development and redevelopment potential; and control the number of individual accesses to existing or planned major arterial and collector roads. jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pdf 16 000140 Through the zoning process, discourage new residential development and piecemeal commercial development from locations the Plan suggests are appropriate for industrial and other employment generating uses. Industrial and other employment generating uses produce tax revenues which defray the costs of providing services to County residents. By facilitating the development of such uses in appropriate locations, the County continues to provide quality services to its citizens. In addition, such uses provide residents with jobs both within the County and close to home, thereby reducing commuting distances, travel distance, air and water pollution and travel expenses. This, in turn, enhances the quality of life for working citizens and their families. In addition, aggregation of acreage promotes development of internal transportation networks including public streets and private driveways. This, in turn, minimizes the need for direct access to area arterial and collector roads from individual parcels. Limitations and oppommities: Existing residential development in proximity to the Interchanges, together with potential pressure for additional non-industrial development in other parts of the study area may, if not properly evaluated, limit opportunities for economic development. In addition, some properties with economic development potential may have access limitations caused by piecemeal commercial strip zoning and development pattems along Route 10 and by area floodplains. However, significant oppommities exist for development of new industrial and other employment generating uses in areas where access and mitigating road improvements can be provided. In addition, commercial nodes that support industrial and other employment generating uses could be incorporated into the design of larger projects, further contributing to convenience and to reducing travel distances. Goal 3 Encourage land use transitions: Encourage land use transitions between less intense uses, such as residential neighborhoods, and more intense uses, such as commercial and heavier industrial areas. Recommendations n Use the Plan to suggest land use transitions between residential development and commercial and heavier industrial uses. Use the Plan and zoning process to encourage a greater depth of development that provides less intense transitional uses adjacent to residential areas. The phasing of development should require that transitional uses be developed prior to, or in conjunction with, development of more intense land uses. Where land use transitions are not possible due to existing strip development pattems, use the zoning process to negotiate use restrictions and design standards, for new development and jimc :\data\pi ans\bosplan.pdf 17 redevelopment requiting zoning action, that protect residential neighborhoods from potential adverse impacts generated by more intense uses. Use the Plan and zoning processes to negotiate use restrictions and/or mitigating design standards on, or the rezoning to less intense land uses of, General Commercial (C-5), General Industrial (I-2) and Heavy Industrial (I-3) zoned properties lying adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Mitigating design standards could include limitations on hours of operation and lighting, orientation of buildings to provide screening and sound attenuation, etc. In this regard, encourage owners of parcels requesting zoning for additional zoning in.proximity to such C-5, I- 2 and I-3 zoned property to process rezonings for both parcels. A hierarchy of land uses, from more - to - less intense, provides the best protection to residential neighborhoods. Other protections (buffers, orientation of uses, and design standards which reduce nuisances such as noise, and light, etc.) are supplemental mitigation to the primary protection provided by physical separation between incompatible uses and contribute to the overall appearance and livability of the community. Limitations and opportunities: Much of the existing land use pattem within the study area, particularly along Route 10, is characterized by residential areas adjacent to older commercial strip zoning and uses. In many instances, these residential areas do not have the benefit of buffers or other mitigating design features to lessen the impact of adjacent, commercial activity. However, in many places, encouraging greater depths of non-residential zoning can afford opportunities to provide land use transitions between more intense commercial uses and residential neighborhoods. In addition, opportunities may occur to negotiate use restrictions, design standards, and/or rezoning to less intense classifications, on C-5 zoned properties that lie adjacent to residential areas. Goal 4 Promote orderly redevelopment trends: New commercial/industrial development and redevelopment within the study area is revitalizing, and in some cases replacing, older commercial and residential uses. While these trends should be encouraged, healthy residential neighborhoods should be protected from encroachment. At the same time, residential areas likely to experience increased pressure for redevelopment to non-residential uses, in areas where redevelopment is deemed appropriate, should be protected until redevelopment occurs. Recommendations Office, commercial and/or industrial rezoning and redevelopment that has the potential to encroach on existing residential areas should be accomplished on parcels aggregated to jimc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pd f 18 O00 4Z sufficient size, design and location to protect the character and environment of the remaining residential uses. ca New commercial, office and/or industrial uses should not be interspersed with existing residential uses. ca Less intense, transitional uses should be provided between more intense commercial uses and existing residential uses. Setbacks and buffers should be provided between new commercial, office and/or industrial uses and existing residential uses. These setbacks and buffers should be designed to protect remaining residential uses from excessive light and noise, and from views into parking, loading, storage and service areas. The preservation, maintenance and in some cases redevelopment of older areas of the County forestalls decline and blight and contributes to the overall health of the larger community. Specifically, healthy residential neighborhoods, if protected from piecemeal non-residential encroachment, can provide affordable housing without government subsidy and optimize the use of existing infrastructure. At the same time orderly redevelopment of some declining residential areas, in locations where non-residential uses are deemed appropriate, promotes economic development. Limitations and opportunities: Portions of the study area have experienced redevelopment from residential to commercial and industrial uses in a piecemeal manner, allowing commercial and industrial uses to encroach into residential areas without consideration for the potential adverse impacts these non-residential uses can have on remaining nearby residences. Commercial and industrial redevelopment is expected to continue and will most likely exert additional pressure on residential areas located withia, or in proximity to, areas that are deemed appropriate for commercial and industrial uses. Opportunities exist to ensure that redevelopment, where appropriate, occurs in a manner that protects the character and environment of remaining residential uses. Goal 5 Ensure that residential, office, commercial and industrial sites, when viewed from public places, ha~q visual appeak New construction or redevelopment within the study area is regulated by zoning conditions and Zoning Ordinance requirements. Specifically, new constmction or redevelopment in the study area is subject to Emerging Growth standards. These standards address parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and loading areas. Additional development standards for the Route 10 corridor may be appropriate. Specifically, a Design Guidelines Study should be initiated to assess the need for additional design guidelines for future development along Route 10 which serves as a gateway to the County, as well as the entrance to area jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 19 000143 businesses, industries and neighborhoods. Any additional design guidelines deemed appropriate should be developed together with a strategy for their implementation and a determination of their applicability to other, similar transportation corridors within the County. A Design Guidelines Study should also be initiated to assess the need for additional design guidelines for furore industrial development along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads. These roads serve as primary road access to a significant portion of the County's existing and potential industrial development base, as well as the entrance to the County's Henricus Park and Dutch Gap Conservation Area. The appearance of these roads, as well as the appearance of adjacent development, imparts the fwst and potentially only impression that many xisitors have of the community and of these industrial, recreational and historic resources. Recommendations In conjunction with this Plan amendment, assess the need for additional design guidelines for future development along the Rt. 10 corridor, between 1-95 and Hopewell. If additional design guidelines are merited, develop these guidelines together with a slrategy for their implementation. Determine if this effort has applicability to other, similar transportation corridors within the County. Any recommended guidelines and implementation strategy should be considered for adoption in conjunction with the adoption of the consolidated Eastern Area Plan amendment. In conjunction with this Plan amendment, assess the need for additional design guidelines for future development along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads. If additional design guidelines are merited, develop these guidelines together with a strategy for their implementation. Such guidelines should take into account the utilitarian nature of existing and anticipated area industrial development and place emphasis on minimizing the visibility of such development from the mad, rather than on the appearance of the development. Such visual mitigation could include, but would not be limited to, preservation of existing vegetation, berming and landscaping. Any recommended guidelines and implementation strategy should be considered for adoption in conjunction with the adoption of the consolidated Eastern Area Plan amendment. In conjunction with this Plan amendment, add to the Planning Commission and Planning staff work programs a project to assess the need to develop an active inspection and enforcement program along Route 10, Old Stage Road, and Coxendale Road to ensure that required landscaping is maintained in a healthy condition. If an active enforcement program is merited, develop, fund and implement the program. In conjunction with this Plan amendment, add to the Planning Commission and Planning staff work programs a project to assess the need to develop a tree planting and maintenance program along Route 10 (along the edge of the right of way and within medians), Old Stage Road, and Coxendale Road. If a tree planting and maintenance program is merited, develop, fund and implement the program. jimc :\data\pi ans\bosplan.pdf 20 'O0 0 1 4 4 When viewed from these roads, area development impacts the overall appearance and INability of the larger community. This in tum influences the potential for development or redevelopment of surrounding properties, as well as the desirability of existing residential neighborhoods as places to live. Therefore, consideration of how the road frontage develops along these corridors will greatly influence the development potential of area properties, as well as the health of area neighborhoods. In addition, the County continues to promote the Eastem Area of the County for industrial development and promotes Henricus Park and the Dutch Gap Conservation Area as natural, recreational and historic resources for the enjoyment and education of County citizens and visitors. Industrial development and redevelopment along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads should be guided in a manner that conforms to the County's goals off promoting orderly development pattems; optimizing and encouraging economic development oppommities; enhancing the appearance and development pattern of the area; and protecting, preserving, promoting and enhancing the natural environment, as well as historic and cultural resources. Limitations and opportanities: It should be noted that much of the property fronting Rt. 10, Old Stage Road, and Coxendale Road is already developed or may otherwise be vested by conditions of zoning approval from having to comply with future Zoning Ordinance amendments promoting new design standards. These factors may impact the method of implementation, as well as the effectiveness, of any additional design guidelines adopted as a result of the Design Guidelines Study. Other factors, such as floodplains and transmission line rights of way, may also influence the appearance of these corridors. In particular, existing development would be exempt from new guidelines until expansion or redevelopment occurs. Land within interchanges and other public rights of way, or which have easements, are exempt from local ordinances. Specifically, public improvements such as VDOT road widenings, maintenance facilities, communications facilities or staging areas for road conslruction, above ground Virginia Power transmission lines, or other above or in-ground utility lines may not 1-ave to comply with County design guidelines. Finally, as noted herein, properties already zoned and subject to conditions of zoning approval may be exempt, in whole or in part, from new guidelines, depending on the nature and effect of these conditions. It should be noted that properties within floodplains may have to be preserved all or in part in a natural state, based on current laws and ordinances. This could offer positive oppommities to preserve natural areas and views, as well as opportunities to provide variety in the pattem of development, transitions, and separation of incompatible uses. However, opportunities exist to enhance the visual appeal of the area as a gateway to the County and entrance to area businesses and neighborhoods. Such enhancements could include landscaping and monumental features within the median of Rt. 10 and/or along the edge of the rights-of-way of Rt. 10, Old Stage Road and Coxendale Road, as well as preservation of existing high canopy trees within medians and setbacks. Additional landscaping could also be installed within setbacks, to include high jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pdf 21 .000 . 5 canopy trees which, at maturity, would minimize the views of aboveground utilities, soften views of development and enhance the overall appearance of the area. Goal 6 Ensure that new residential proposals are representative of, and compatible with, existing and anticipated area residential development: Actions that stabilize and improve the health of existing neighborhoods forestall decline and blight and contribute to the overall health of the larger community. Recommendation Use the Plan and the zoning process to encourage new residential subdivisions with sole access via existing or planned subdivision streets to meet or exceed the average lot size of, and have a density equal to or less than, the existing subdivisions. Residential developments of varying densities and lot sizes encourage variety in residential areas and offer County citizens a choice of neighborhoods, living environments and lifestyles. Limitations and opportunities: New subdivisions developing within the study area increase the availability of single family housing in subdivisions in this part of the County. Oppommities exist to encourage a greater diversity of housing types within the study area. However, such residential development should occur in ways that protect existing neighborhoods and enhance the larger community. Goal 7 Protect and preserve historic and cultural resources: Sites within the study area may potentially have significant historic or cultural significance. These include Native American and early English settlement sites, as well as 19th Century structures, Civil War defense works, and early 20th Century structures. Recommendations Add to the Planning Commission and Planning staffwork programs a project to assess the need to develop guidelines for identifying, preserving and interpreting significant historic and cultural resources within the Eastern Area of the County. If guidelines are merited, prepare an Eastern Area historic resources inventory and preservation strategy, together with a framework for its implementation, for review by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Encourage the Chesterfield County Preservation Committee to work with the property owner(s) of identified sites of significant historic, architectural, archaeological and/or cultural interest to have such properties designated as County, State, and Federal Landmarks. jimc:Xdata\plans\bosplan.pdf 22 Comprehensive Plan amendments attempt to identify stmcmres and sites within study area boundaries that have historic or cultural significance. Protection of such structures and sites offer the best opportunities for presenting and interpreting the County's historic and cultural heritage. Limitations and opportunities: Except for significant Civil War defense works, scattered 19th century residences and small cemeteries, no above-ground evidence remains of the study area's long and varied history. This is due to several factors, including the transient history and nature of most early works. Many early works were destroyed by war. Others, such as Civil War fortifications, were abandoned once their usefulness expired. Still others, such as the communities of Bermuda Hundred, Osbome and Port Walthall, declined as a consequence of competition from better located communities such as Richmond, Manchester and Petersburg. Agricultural activities, neglect, decay, and the straightening and d~g of the James River to allow the passage of large, ocean-going cargo ships, together with twentieth century residential growth and industrial development (including quarrying along the James River), may have covered, destroyed or degraded much of the physical remains of these bygone eras. However places, if not structures, remain strong in the memory and history of the County. In recent years, a growing awareness of the area's history has led to an interest to remember, preserve, protect and interpret what remains. Many sites with historic significance have already been identified within the study area, and several of these are in various stages of preservation and interpretation. Goal 8 Promote open space corridors as a framework to protect the natural environment and scenic values, provide land use transitions, and provide outdoor recreational oppommities: Protecting the natural environment and scenic values, as well as providing land use transitions between incompatible uses and outdoor recreational opportunities, enhances the quality of hfe of County citizens and workers. Recommendations Add to the Planning Commission and Planning staffwork programs a project to assess the need for promoting open space corridors as a framework to protect the natural environment and scenic values, to provide land use transitions, and to provide outdoor recreational opportunities within the Eastern Area of the County. If guidelines are merited, prepare an open space corridor strategy, together with a framework for implementation, for review by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Initiate amendments to the Public Facilities Plan, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the Riverfront Plan, as appropriate, to inventory open space corridors within the study area and implement any adopted strategy for preserving and using these resources. jimc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pd f 23 O O O1 47 Open space corridors can be used to protect environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, wildlife habitat and floodplains, as well as to preserve mature trees and native vegetation as a part of the visual landscape. In addition, such corridors provide visual and distance separation between residential and non-residential development, as well as provide area residents and the employees of area industries with opportunities for exercise, recreation, relaxation and education. Limitations and Opportunities Much of the property lying within floodplains and other environmentally sensitive areas is already zoned and/or developed for residential, commercial and/or industrial uses. However, the study area has most of the County's river frontage, as well as several stream valleys with significant, undeveloped floodplains, much of which is currently protected from intense development by the County's Floodplain Ordinance and by the Chesapeake Bay Act. Many of these natural features may provide oppommities for open space preservation and recreational activities through various cooperative public/private efforts. Goal 9 Provide a safe, efficient and cost effective transportation system: The County's Thoroughfare Plan, which was originally adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 1989, identifies right-of-way classifications of existing roads, and right-of-way classifications and general alignments of future roads. In the eastern area of the County, the topography and existing development limits the opportunities to plan for additional new roads. The limited potential for new roads in this area of the County makes it particularly necessary to improve existing roads to accommodate furore growth in this area of the County. Recommendations · Adopt the recommended Thoroughfare Plan as shown, including the deletion of the extension of Route 288 to the east across the James River. Use the zoning and development review processes to encourage development proposals to conform to the Thoroughfare Plan with respect to the construction of road improvements and the dedication of fight- of- way. Use the zoning and development review process to encourage development proposals to include mitigation of their traffic impacts by providing road improvements and controlling the number of direct accesses to major arterial and collector roads. Where appropriate, require access plans, to include driveway connections and/or public roads, as development occurs along Route 10 to accommodate travel between adjacent areas without necessitating the use of Ronte 10. · As improvements are provided on roads identified in the County's Bikeway Plan, consider incorporating bicycle facilities. jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 24 0 00~[ 4 8 · As development occurs in the Walthall area, explore the feasibility of providing a connector road across the Appomattox River between 1-95 and 1-295. An adequate transportation network helps achieve the goal of optimizing economic development by ensuring that roads accommodate the free flow of traffic and provide safe and efficient access to the regional transportation network. Limitations and opportunities There has been significant commercial and industrial development in the eastem area in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue. Approximately 9,000 acres are currently zoned for commercial and industrial development that remain to be developed. Improvements to existing roads and construction of new roads to accommodate furore growth will be needed in this area of the County. Currently, three Primary road improvements in this area of the County are included in the Board of Supervisor's priority hst of highway projects: 1) the feasibility of a 1-95/I-295 Connector (an extension of the East/West Freeway); 2) the Interstate 295/Meadowville Road interchange; and 3) the widening of Route 10 to six (6) lanes from Interstate 95 to Meadowville Road. Funds for these improvements are not currently included in VDOT's Six Year Improvement Program. 1-95 and 1-295 are major north/south routes that carry regional traffic through the eastem area of the County. Route 10, from Interstate 95 to the Appomattox River, is the major east-west highway serving the area, and carries a mix of local and regional traffic. Even after completion of planned improvements to Route 10, this highway will not accommodate anticipated traffic volumes. Another east/west facility is needed in this area of the County. This connection would improve access to area development, and help reduce regional traffic on Route 10 between Interstate 95 and Interstate 295, and on other roads such as Woods Edge Road and Old Bermuda Hundred Road. Because much of this area has been developed or approved for development, this east/west facility would have to be located between 1-95 and 1-295 in the Walthall area. A connector road in this area would include a major bridge structure across the Appomattox River. State funding would have to be provided for construction of this connector road. No public funds are anticipated to become available in the foreseeable future for a major project of this type. Staff will work with developers to keep a corridor open for the facility, if possible. However, Staff will not restrict or prohibit development in the Walthall area in order to protect the corridor. Developer participation will be strictly on a voluntary basis. Staff will continue to evaluate development proposals and recommend that mitigating road improvements are provided that will address their traffic impacts. The improvements may include the construction of new roads, right-of-way dedication, access control, pavement widening, horizontal and vertical alignment improvements, and ditch relocation to provide adequate shoulders. j imc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 25 00014 ~ Land Use Categories Residential (1.5 dwellings per acre or less) Residential (4.0 dwellings per acre or less) Residential (7.0 dwellings per acre or less) Residences, and under circumstances that ensure compatibility with existing and/or anticipated area residential development, places of worship, schools, parks and other similar public and semi-public facilities. Neighborhood Mixed Use Professional and administrative offices, along with residential developments of varying densities. Supporting, neighborhood-scale retail and service uses would be appropriate when part of a mixed use development of aggregated acreage under a unified plan of development and when located with access to intersecting transportation corridors. Such development should extend approximately 1,000 feet from the major roM; however, existing natttml or man-made boundaries (such as bodies of water, floodplains, rights-of-way, access locations or utility comdors) are preferable to a fixed depth such as 1,000 feet. R (various) R-TH, R-MF, 0-2, and C-2 Neighborhood Convenience (not depicted on the Plan map) Small scale uses, such as lmited retail and personal services, when located within planned residential areas and designed to attract customers primarily from immediate neighborhoods only. Typically such uses should: be planned in conjunction with residential projects in order to insure compatibility; be limited in size and acreage; be located at the intersections of collector streets, or between residential neighborhoods and higher intensity uses and/or arterials; and provide transitions through consideration of appropriate uses, building scale, architecture and site design. Such areas require detailed analysis to ensure compatibility: therefore, individual locations cannot be depicted on the Land Use Plan map. (C-l) Neighborhood Office (not depicted on the Plan map) Small scale, professional and administrative offices and similar uses, when such uses are developed as a transition between commercial/industrial uses and residential neighborhoods. Typically such uses should be designed to ensure maximum compatibility with, and ninimal impact on, existing and furore area residential development, and should generally be located along arterial roads or collector streets, but not at arterial road intersections. Such areas require detailed analysis to ensure compatibility: therefore, individual locations cannot be depicted on the Land Use Plan map. (O- 1) Community Mixed Use Community-scale commercial uses, including shopping centers, service and office uses that serve community-wide trade areas. Residential uses of various types and densities may be appropriate if part of a larger mixed use project and the design is integrated with other uses. Such development should extend approximately 1,000 feet from the major road; however, existing natural or man-made jimc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pdf 26 OOO~50 boundaries (such as bodies of water, floodplains, fights-of-way, access locations or utility corridors) are preferable to a fixed depth such as 1,000 feet. C-3 Commercial General commercial uses, including automobile-oriented uses and light industrial uses. Residential uses of various types and densities may be appropriate if part of a larger mixed use project and the design is integrated with other uses. C-5 Light Industry Offices, warehouses and light industrial uses, including research and development uses and light manufacturing dependent upon raw materials first processed elsewhere. Moderate industrial uses may be appropriate when designed, located and/or oriented to ensure compatibility with less intense uses, and where adequate access and transitions are provided._Retail and service uses that serve primarily surrounding permitted uses may be appropriate when part of a larger development. I- 1 and I-2 Industrial Manufacturing uses processing raw materials, heavy warehousing and tracking terminals. Retail and service uses that serve primarily surrounding permitted uses may be appropriate when part of a larger development. Heavy industrial uses should be located and designed to minimaz' e impacts on existing and anticipated area development of lesser intensity. I-2 and I-3 Public/semi-public Publicly owned land, or land held in public or private trust for the purpose of preserving and prompting its natural function, character and/or historic significance (conservation areas, wildlife habitat, historic places, public parks and trails, etc.). Should such land be redeveloped for other uses, the appropriate uses would be those that are compatible with surrounding existing or anticipated development. j imc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pdf 2 7 O00~l 5ql Appendix A: Recommendations for the Meadowville Area (Note: The following Study Recommendations and The Recommended Plan are elements of the Meadowville Area Plan that should remain applicable to the portions of the consolidated Eastern Area Plan amendment geography that were formerly subject to the Meadowville Plan and are so designated on the attached Plan map.) THE RECOMMENDED PLAN The area west of North Enon Church Road should be a transitional area. Residential uses could occur on the west line of North Enon Church Road from the southemmost boundary of the residential area east of North Enon Church Road to the James River. The exact depth and shape of this residential area could vary, based on topographic and sound residential design principle. On the other hand, this area could be developed as light industrial use with provision of a 200 foot buffer on the west side of North Enon Church Road adjacent to the designated for residential use. Existing forested vegetation should be preserved within the buffer area. Where existing vegetation is inadequate, ~omprehensive landscaping should be required in order to screen light industrial uses from view of nearby residential uses. Any parcel zoned for residential uses west of North Enon Church Road should be zoned in its entirety, with all zoning classification of each parcel decided at the same time in order to insure that future residents are fully advised as to adjoining land uses. Areas suggested for light industrial uses should be placed within an industrial park setting in order to encourage industrial development to occur simultaneously and protect nearby residential uses. I-2 and I-3 uses provide locations for manufacturing and other selected activities. Uses within these categories should generally be buffered from existing or proposed residential neighborhoods by less intense I-1 uses. Intense 1-2 and all I-3 uses, without special design features and detailed review, would be incompatible within the Meadowville Area. Therefore, zoning for intense I-2 and I-3 uses should be submitted with Conditional Use Planned Development or other such zonings whereby the use can be reviewed for high quality design details, sensitivity to area residential uses and minimal environmental impacts. The industrial park development requirements, referenced above, should include the following: No structure should exceed a height of three (3) stories or filly (50) feet, however, taller structures may be permitted within the moderate industrial area if effectively screened from view of nearby residential uses. Architectural: No portion of a building constructed of unadorned concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal should be visible from any adjoining residential district or any public right of way. No building exterior should be constructed of unpainted concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal. jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pd f 28 Mechanical Equipment: As cunently required by the Zoning Ordinance in all Industrial Districts mechanical equipment, should be screened from public view and designed to be perceived as an integral part of the building. Road improvements should to be constructed concurrent with industrial development. No industrial use should develop until the planned north/south arterial road or the I- 295/Meadowville l~ad interchange or appropriate phases thereof is constructed. Phasing of these improvements should be approved, as long as industrial traffic shall not utilize northem residential portions of North Enon Church Road. · Utilities: As required by the Zoning Ordinance, all utility lines should be underground. The Transportation Department should approve all interior circulation plans during review processes. Sites should be designed and buildings should be oriented so that loading areas are screened from any of the project perimeters adjoining any residential or district in which loading areas are prohibited, as well as from any public fight of way. Existing forest vegetation should be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Twenty percent (20%) of the land, exclusive of a 200 foot buffer on the west side of North Enon Church Road, designated for industrial, commercial or office use should be preserved as open space. All wetland areas should be preserved. · Drainage/Floodplains/Wetlands: An overall drainage design should be developed and approved during site review as required by the Zoning Ordinance. · No development should be allowed in wetlands or floodplains. The Chesapeake Bay Area Preservation Standards should apply to furore development along the James River; The purpose of these regulations will be to prevent a net increase in nonpoint source pollution from new development, minimize erosion, and prevent degradation of floodplains and wetlands; Access to the James River may be allowed to future development only after submittal to the County Conditional Use and Site Review process. General Performance Standards are recommended: · No more land should be disturbed than is necessary to provide for the desired use or development. · Indigenous vegetation should be preserved to the maximum extent possible consistent with the use and development allowed. Land development should minimzz' e impervious cover. All furore office, commercial or industrial development should require County sewer and water. All furore residential development should require County sewer and water except where impractical due to technical engineering masons. · No off-premises billboards and signs should be allowed adjacent to 1-295. jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pd f 29 Recommendations regarding transportation needs follow: · As industrial uses develop west of North Enon Church Road, no direct access of such uses to North Enon Church Road from Bermuda Hundred Road to Meadowville Road should occur. The proposed mad improvement noted in the County's Thoroughfare Plan shall provide service primarily to industrial uses expected to develop west of North Enon Church Road. Major industrial growth should not occur until the road improvements outlined in the Thoroughfare Plan, or the Meadowville Road interchange, have been developed. The County's Transportation Department should explore altematives to improve the ingress/egress to those residential uses located south of Bermuda Hundred Road, north of Route 10, west of North Enon Church Road, and east of 1-295. Residential Use 1. Public safety, health, and convenience should be maximized. 2. Insure, through the enforcement of appropriate development standards, that the level and type of residential development will be compatible with the physical limitations of the land and established residential land uses in the Area. Industrial Use 1. Ensure, through the enforcement of appropriate development standards, that the level and type of industrial development will be compatible with the physical limitations of the land and other established land uses in the area. 2. Require that furore industrial uses not produce excessive noise, smoke, dust or other particular matter, vibration, toxic or noxious waste materials, odors, site and explosive hazards or other detrimental impacts. 3. Encourage the development of planned industrial districts. IMPLEMENTATION Land Use Policy: The furore land use of the Meadowville Study Area shotdd encompass well planned and orderly development of residential and industrial land uses. Actions: 1. Furore industrial use should correspond to uses permitted by the Chesterfield County Zoning Ordinance under Light Industrial and General Industrial. jimc :\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 30 2. Heavy Industry, as defined under the County Zoning Ordinance should be restricted to those uses and locations exhibiting high quality designs, sensitivity to residential uses and minimal enviromnental impacts. 3. No industrial use that is noxious, dangerous, or causes pollution should be allowed in any area. 4. All furore industrial uses should be placed within an industrial park setting. 5. Furore industrial development should adhere to Chesterfield County's adopted Development Requirements - Emerging Growth Areas listed under Article 6 in the Chesterfield County Zoning Ordinance. jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 31 O00~155 Tentative Draft Consolidated ~stern Area Plan Amendment Land Use Plan James Rwe~ Spedal design guidelnes, as we!! as co as~e/atio n for a mixofusesthat promc(es a sense of community and place, would be approl:riate for the center of Enm. ~ No~: Lard use cstegory boul'~darie$ are generalized and should ~e confirmed w Ih ~ the Chesterfield Coun[y ~ widlhs and ~roposed road 1 wih the Co~Jnty si~ificant sites ~n these areas may be approlxiate, Otherwise, such lands should be developed fOralAoropriateus es thai would be c ~palible wi Iff surrounding e~ isttng er 2 3 Miles Meadowvil le Tra: t · ,,/Railroads _Major rea ds Sf~eets i/'~ :/Streams residenti~ 1,5 ~'ac,c, rless residential 4,0 u~ac,orless residential 7,0 u~ac,orless ~ neighbodlood mA ed use c omrmmity mt~ed use gene ra I co mrner cial ~ industrial ~ public/semi.pu b~ic !::~ potential parks~ I---3 Boundary ~ Rivers jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 32 Draft - Eastern Area Thoroughfare Plan Jan~s RWe~ Colo~al H, Note: The exact right of way ~dths and proposed road ~t ignments should be verified vW:h the CountyTransportatbn Department.

Sections 19-505~ 19-580~ and 19-587 I. Tree Preservation along Rt. 10t east of 1-95 Rt. 10 east of 1-95 is characterized by significant stands of mature trees within, and adjacent to, the existing and ultimate rights of way for this Thoroughfare Plan road. Principles of corridor design, as practiced in Chesterfield County, have long embraced the concept of preserving such trees as an attractive feature of the public space, as well as a means of softening the visual impact of development and providing a unifying element to various uses when viewed from the road. However, efforts to preserve existing mature trees along thoroughfare roads have met with mixed success in Chesterfield County. Success in preserving significant stands of trees is dependent on several factors including: the quality, quantity and health of existing vegetation; the amount of cleating within the public road right-of- way required for road and utility improvements; the need for additional right-of- way (over and above that anticipated on the Thoroughfare Plan) for grading, intersection improvements, mm lanes, etc.; the number and location of curb cuts for driveways and cleared areas for utility service lines serving development; and the need for easements adjacent to, but outside of, the road right-of- way for public utilities (Virginia Power transmission lines, telephone lines, water and sewer lines, gas pipelines, etc.). Often, as development occurs, significant stands of existing mature trees are initially preserved within the road right-of-way and required front yard setback, only to be removed later as roads are widened to accommodate additional through-lanes and turn-lanes. In addition, utility easements that typically mn parallel to the public road right-of-way, but within required building setbacks, furflher necessitate the removal of trees within the setback. Finally land disturbance and construction adjacent to the setback often damage or destroy the canopies and/or roots of trees. Long-term tree preservation, therefore, is dependent in large part on ensuring, to the greatest degree practical, adequate tree-save areas outside of public road rights-of-way and potential utility easements, as well as away fi:om potentially damaging construction activity. Any tree-save area, to be effective, should be wide enough to preserve enough trees to provide an attractive canopy and to ensure that these trees have room to grow. Specifically, trees 8 inches in caliper or greater (the definition for mature vegetation in the Zoning Ordinance) have a natural spacing of between 10 and 20 feet and canopies at maturity of between 30 and 50 feet, depending on species. As such trees never grow in a straight line, the number of trees along any given length of road frontage in any given width of tree-save area can vary greatly. In addition, as noted herein trees located near the edges of a given tree-save area are often damaged or destroyed as their canopies and root zones extend outside the tree-save area and are subject to heavy pruning and root cutting from adjacent jimc:\dat a\plans\bosplan.pdf 34 tD~O~8 development (above-ground power lines, in-ground utility lines, building foundations, grading and compaction for parking lots, etc.). The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 75-foot setback for development along Rt. 10, between 1- 95 and Hopewell, measured from a 160 foot right of way in those instances where a 200 foot right of way has been dedicated to the County (Section 19-505). This setback can be reduced to 50 feet with additional landscaping (Section 19-594). The result of these Ordinances is a reduction of tree save area to 30 feet outside of the ultimate, 200 foot right of way. Except when necessary to provide access, any trees 8 inches or greater in caliper within this setback must be retained unless removal is approved by the Planning Department (Section 19-518 (d)). However, utility lines often mn parallel to, and outside of, the public mad fight-of-way. These easements can occupy a significant portion of the required setback, resulting in the removal existing trees within the utility easements and the destruction of canopies and root zones of adjacent trees. Given the growth characteristics of trees in Chesterfield, a tree-save area of a minimum of 50 feet in width would be appropriate to ensure the preservation and health of mature trees along Rt. 10. As utility easements are typically located immediately adjacent to the public right-of-way, the required setback should accommodate such easements. A front yard setback of at least 75 feet may prove to be the minimum setback necessary to ensure, with any certainty, the preservation of a healthy stand of mature trees in locations where such vegetation exists and, at the same time, accommodate utilities. As a further consideration, the retention of smaller or immature trees (less than 8 inches in caliper) and under-story trees would enhance the appearance of the setback, as well as minimize the need for supplemental landscaping. The preservation of young, healthy, naturalized vegetation would also mimmize the need replace transplanted material that has a higher likelihood to die in the years after planting, and would naturally replace mature trees that may die due to construction, insect, disease and/or wind damage which is common in the years after adjacent construction activities have commenced. (Sections 19-505. (e.) (2) (e.), 19-580. (a) (4), 19-587, 19-587.1 and 19-587.2) An added benefit to tree preservation within setbacks can be the partial screening of above ground utility lines that trees provide, as viewed from the public right of way, if such lines are located behind the trees (i.e., interior to the development). Therefore, an effort to encourage location of such easements within setbacks interior to the development should be considered.

Design Standards for Mixed Use Corridors along Rt. 10~ east of 1-95 The Eastem Route 10 Corridor serves as a gateway to the County, as well as a principal transportation artery for area development and an entrance to surrounding neighborhoods. When viewed from this road, existing development impacts the appearance of this gateway and transportation artery as well as the overall appearance and livability of the larger community. This in mm influences the development or redevelopment potential of surrounding properties, as well as the desirability of existing resident/al neighborhoods as places to live. Comprehensive Plan amendments typically examine the visual appeal of major transportation corridors as gateways into the County and as entrances into adjacent and area neighborhoods. These Plan amendments recognize the importance of distinct, visual zones along major roads arising from the multiple functions these transportation corridors serve. In conjunction with the consolidated Eastern Area Comprehensive Plan amendment, staffhas identified several distinct visual zones along the Eastem Route 10 Corridor. The areas around the Route 10/1-95 and Route 10/1-295 interchanges serve as commercial/industrial nodes, taking advantage of the easy access these interchanges provide to the surrounding region. Much of the westem part of the Route 10 Corridor, between Old Stage Road and Old Bermuda Hundred Road, as well as portions of the Corridor between 1-95 and Enon Church Road, has developed or is developing for industrial uses. New commercial and industrial construction and redevelopment within these areas are regulated by conditions of zoning approval and/or Zoning Ordinance Emerging Growth standards for O, C and I Districts. These conditions and standards typically address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and loading areas. The current Emerging Growth standards adequately address the appearance of new development and redevelopment in these nodes and corridors, as viewed from Route 10. Another identified visual zone is the Enon Core. While not a village, the area tmdit/onally thought of as the center of the Enon community has a small town or village character that is distinct from other portions of the Rt. 10 Corridor east ofi-95. Because of these distinctions, staff has recommerrled new development standards for the Enon Core. These standards are designed to reinforce the Core's neighborhood identity and sense of 'Place'. Of particular interest is the remainder of the Route 10 road frontage. This frontage is zoned for a mix of residential, office, commercial and light industrial uses and forms a narrow corridor in proximity to area neighborhoods. The mixed use corridor also provides primary entrances to area neighborhoods and serves as a transition between Route 10 and area teighborhoods. Given these considerations, the corridor would be suitable primarily for smaller scale, less intense development that serves area neighborhoods. Design standards applicable to new development or redevelopment within this corridor jimc:\data\plans\bosplan.pdf 39 should, therefore, reinforce and complimem area residemial development.

Design Standards for setbacks along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads The Introduction to the Plan for Chesterfield encourages economic development by identifying and protecting key sites for future industrial uses and by emphasizing the importance of quality growth. The Introduction also recognizes the importance of enhancing the County's quality of life by recommending planning and design criteria that preserves and protects important cultural and historic resources. The Old Stage Road corridor, north of Rt. 10, and the Coxendale Road comdor, east of Jefferson Davis Highway, serve as primary road accesses to a significant portion of the County's existing and potential industrial development base, as well as primary road accesses to the County's Henricus Park and Dutch Gap Conservation Area. The appearance of these roads, and that of adjacent development, impart the first and potentially only impression that many visitors have of the community and of these industrial, recreational and historic resources. Therefore consideration of additional design standards, to address views from these roads, is recommended. Any new design standards for this area must recognize that most of the land east of 1-95 is already zoned and developed for commercial and industrial uses. Specifically, existing development pattems along Old Stage Road, north of Rt. 10, consist almost exclusively of industrial zoning and land uses, with a node of commercial uses in the vicinity of the Old Stage Road/Rt. 10 intersection. Existing development along Coxendale Road, between Jefferson Davis Highway and 1-95, consists primarily of residential zoning and land uses, with single family residences fi'onting the road. Industrial zoning and land uses prevail east of 1-95. The Comprehensive Plan suggests that the existing zoning and development patterns along these roads should continue. Much of the existing industrial development along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads occurred prior to adoption of the County's current development standards and has a utilitarian appearance, minimal setbacks from the public right-of-way, and little or no landscaping within the setbacks. In addition, on- site improvcnnents for new industrial development, especially heavier industrial uses, will continue to have a distinctively 'industrial' appearance necessitated by the nature of such uses. Given these considerations, new design standards should focus on finding ways to minimaz' e or soften the views of ind~astfial development from the public right-of-way. A major element of such effort should be the preservation of existing vegetation within required setbacks, supplemented with additional landscaping and berming to mitigate views into industrial projects. Such vegetation should include mature trees, but consideration should also be given to preserving as well immature trees and under- story natural and naturalized vegetation. The overall effect would serve both to mitigate the visual impact of industrial development and to impart a natural, woodland appearance to the area for visitors approaching the Dutch Gap Conservation Area and Henricus Park. Where such vegetation is sparse or non-existent, additional landscaping and berming to mitigate the views of area industrial development would be appropriate. j imc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pdf 42 Old Stage Road Design Guidelines Study Area nSive Plan Boundaries Floodplains& RPAs ~ Streams Development Area s ~ c~mm ercial/indust rial ~ industrial corridor ~_ Parks & Conservation RiVers Miles node The Zoning Ordinance currently requires a minimum 40-fbot parking setback for industrially zoned properties along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads. Except when necessary to provide access, trees 8 roches or greater in caliper, located within the setback, must be retained unless removal is approved by the Planning Department (Section 19-518 (d))~ However, utility lines often mn parallel to, and outside of, the public road right-of-way. These easements can occupy a significant portion of the required setback, resulting in the removal existing trees within the utihty easements and the deslmction of canopies and root zones of adjacent trees. .jimc:\data~plans\bosplan.pdf 43 Given the growth characteristics of trees in Chesterfield, a tree-save area of a minimum of 50 feet in width would be appropriate to ensure the preservation and health of mature trees along Old Stage and Coxendale Roads, where such trees exist. As utility easements are typically located immediately adjacent to the public fight-of-way, the required setback should accommodate such easements. In order to accommodate these easements, a front yard setback of at least 75 feet may prove to be the minimum setback necessary to ensure, with any certainty, the preservation of a healthy stand of mature trees in locations where such vegetation exists and, at the same time, accommodate utilities. As a further consideration, the retention of smaller or immature trees (less than 8 inches in caliper) and under- story trees would enhance the appearance of the setback, as well as minimize the need for supplemental landscaping. The preservation of young, healthy, naturalized vegetation would also minimize the need replace Uansplanted material that has a higher likelihood to die in the years after planting, and would naturally replace mature trees that may die due to constmction, insect, disease and/or wind damage which is common in the years after adjacent construction activities have commenced. (Sections 19- 580. (a) (5), 19-588, 19-588.1 and 19.588.2) An added benefit to tree preservation within setbacks can be the partial screening of above ground utility lines that trees provide, as viewed from the public fight of way, if such lines are located behind the trees (i.e., interior to the development). Therefore, an effort to encourage location of such easements within setbacks interior to the development should be considered.

Design Standards for Rt. 10 in Enon The Introduction to the Plan for Chesterfield encourages the shaping of Chesterfield's communities by molding development into well-designed and attractive communities of special character. To this end, the Introduction suggests that functionally and visually distinct communities should be preserved. While not a village, the area traditionally thought of as the center of the Enon community has a small town or village character that is distinct from other portions of Rt. 10, east of 1-95, that have developed in a more typical, suburban commercial corridor manner. This distinction may offer an opportunity to identify this area as a well-defined place meriting special design consideration. Specifically, this road frontage lies in a narrow strip along Rt. 10 and is bounded to the north by Johnsons Creek, to the south by residential neighborhoods in Enon, to the east by a tributary of Johnsons Creek that passes from south to north under Rt. 10, and to the west by Johnsons Creek which passes from south to north under Rt. 10. Johnsons Creek and its tributary have floodplains and other potentially environmentally sensitive areas that may limit furore development and define the center of Enon as a distinct area. In addition, the floodplains are heavily forested with mature vegetation, while the mad frontage bounded by these features is largely cleared and developed for residences, public/semi-public buildings (fire station and churches), and neighborhood commercial uses, further enhancing the distinction. jimc:\data\plan s\bosplan.pd f 47 Vicinity sketch of the center of Enon As a consequence, the cluster of uses in the center of Enon is relatively isolated from most of the more typical subtU'ban development pattern that characterizes much of Rt. 10 east of 1-95. Fm'ther, many of these uses possess a distinctly neighborhood scale and massing, as well as minimal setbacks from the road and minimal parking in front of businesses, which is not typical of newer development along most County thoroughfare roads. These characteristics give the impression that the center of Enon is a bit different from most of'the rest of the Rt~ 10 corridor~ This difference may provide an opportunity to reinforce a sense of neighborhood identity and of ~Place' for the Enon community. Therefore, a pattern different from typical suburban development should be encouraged with furore development and redevelopment in the center of Enon~ (Sections 19-580. (c), 19-589, 19-589.1, 19-589.2, 19-589.3 and 19.589.4) These standards are similar to Village District Standards used to shape development within identitied Villages throughout the County. Implementation of any new design standards should be accomplished for new development through a Zoning Ordinance amendment. These standards, however, would only be implemented with new development and redevelopment within the Enon Core. j imc :\data\p!ans\bosplan,pdf 48 Views along Rto 10. in Enon. jimc:\data\plans\bosptan,pdt' 49 pies of development in the Enon Core The top image reflects current conditions a site along the north line of Rt. 10, west of Spruce Avenue.

Subiect: Set A Public Hearing for 360 West Corridor Architectural Standards County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: Planning Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors set April 10, 2002, for a public hearing relating to 360 West Corridor Architectural Standards. Summary of Information: As a result of the Route 360 Corridor Study completed in March of 2000, neighborhood and business leaders together with citizens and landowners joined to form the 360 West Corridor Association, Inc. to work on implementing recommendations of the study. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance primarily address architecture throughout the corridor from Courthouse Road west to the Amelia County line and address four considerations as outlined below: 1. Prior to the approval of a site plan for any part of a project, the architectural theme for the project shall be established. This is proposed as a County-wide recommendation. Preparer: Thomas E. Jacobson Title: Director of Planning C: DATA/AG EN DA/2002/MAR 13.3 Attach ments: Ycs No CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA Page 2 of 2 2. For Regional Mixed Use and Community Mixed Use areas shown on the Upper Swift Creek Plan and for the area between Courthouse Road and Route 288, the architecture shall also identify how building and pedestrian elements interrupt the linear pattern of the development. As an example, Commonwealth Center Shopping Center has been designed according to these recommendations. 3. In the Mixed Use Corridor areas of the Upper Swift Creek Plan, architecture shall be compatible with residential architecture. As an example, the pod of buildings at the southwest corner of Deer Run and Route 360 that include Friendly's, an Amoco gas station and the Deer Run Animal Medical Center has been designed to be compatible with residential architecture. 4. Throughout the corridor, proposed buildings shall be compatible with other buildings within the same project, or same block or across a road, as determined by the director of planning. If existing buildings do not meet required architectural standards, the director of planning may authorize a new architectural treatment or theme. 000:t87 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED BY AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTIONS 19-570, 19-580, 19-585, 19-586, 19-587, 19-588, 19-589, 19-590 AND ADDING SECTIONS 19-585.1, 19-585.2, 19-585.3, 19-585.4, 19-585.5, 19-586.1 AND 19-586.2 RELATING TO ARCHITECTURAL THEMES FOR PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE ROUTE 360 CORRIDOR WEST BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County: (1) That Sections 19-570, 19-580, 19-585, 19-586, 19-587, 19-588, 19-589, 19-590, of the Code of the County of Chesterfield, 1997, as amended, are amended and re-enacted and Sections 19-585.1, 19-585.2, 19-585.3, 19-585.4, 19-585.5, 19-586.1 and 19-586.2 are added to read as follows: Sec. 19-570.

This project, the Residential Development Amendments (Zoning Ordinance) is on the Commissions Work Program. No time period has been established for completion of this review.

The projects designated to receive funding in FY-03 are Genito Road, South Ridge Drive to Fox Chase Lane and Old Buckingham Road, Mill Forest Drive to Olde Coalmine Road. In light of the VDOT budget shortfalls, specific projects for future year allocations will be deferred until more definitive information is available from VDOT. The magisterial district rotations will remain as previously approved by the Board. The maximum amount of VDOT matching funds available for the County in FY-03 is $500,000. The exact amount of funds will be determined by VDOT after all statewide requests for matching funds have been received. The County Administrator's recommended FY-03 budget includes $500,000 for Chesterfield's local match. Preparer: /,3. ~f~/~ ~P Title:Director of Transportation R.J.

Two projects have been designated to split this appropriation. This item requests $299,915 of the county's matching funds for the Genito Road (South Ridge Drive to Fox Chase Lane) project. This project currently has an appropriation of $200,085 in county matching funds from the FY2002 road fund appropriation.

This item requests the remaining FY2003 appropriation of $200,085 to be designated for the Old Buckingham Road (Mill Forest Drive to Olde Coalmine Road) project. This is a new project and currently has no funds appropriated.

Subject: Confirmation of Action by County Administrator to Amend the Military Leave Administrative Procedure to Pay Active Duty Employees the Difference Between Their Military Pay and Their County Pay From April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002. County Administrator's Comments: /~_c_o-xv.~. ~ /~~ County Administrator: Board Action Requested: Confirm the attached amendment to the County's military leave administrative procedure Summary of Information: As a result of the September 11, 2001 attack on America, a number of County employees were called into active duty through reserve or national guard units. The County's personnel administrative procedures normally provide for employees on military leave to receive 15 work days of paid military leave at their full County pay. After the 15 work days, they are placed on military leave without pay and draw only their military pay. In September, the County Administrator extended the military leave period until December 31, 2001 and paid active duty employees the difference between their military pay and their County pay. This extension, which is consistent with the County's action during the Desert Storm war, was confirmed by the Board of Supervisors on September 26. The County Administrator recently announced his intention to extend the military pay period for this conflict from April 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Preparer: .~~~,-~,..~ //J.

The amendment is attached. Through the last pay period, we have paid $57,032.41 in military supplement pay since the September 11 attack. We have 31 employees currently on military leave, and this number has remained fairly constant. There may also be some additional overtime pay increases due to staffing issues caused by employees on leave but we cannot quantify that amount at this time. O00Z3Z 0422: 54754 . 3 ooo J. Military Leave Upon presentation of a copy of final orders, an employee who is a member of an officially-recognized reserve or national guard unit shall be entitled to 15 work days of military leave for training purposes or active duty and shall be paid regular pay. These 15 workdays can be used through the pay period covered by the last pay date of the calendar year. For 24-hour employees, one day equals 12 hours for military leave purposes. An employee who is drafted, volunteers for full-time military service, or is called to active duty shall be placed on military leave without pay when military leave is exhausted. For any such employee who is involved in the conflict resulting from the attack on America that occurred on September 11, 2001, the county, after expiration of 15 work days of military leave, will pay the difference between military pay and county pay until ~ ~---'- ~' .... · w,~,,~,, _, ~, ,~,~,~,.

Such application shall be filed thirty (30) days prior to the time the employee desires to return to work. The employee shall be returned to the previous position, if vacant, or a comparable vacant pOsition with the same rights and privileges as if the employee had not entered the military service.

Summary of Information: On December 19, 2001, the Board of Supervisors referred a proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment to the Planning Commission concerning adult day care within homes. This ordinance, if adopted, would permit adult care in the same manner as children's day care. revi~e re~t Preparer: 'f/,/-~ ~ (j ~c~,~ Thomas~l/acob-son Attachments: Yes ~ No The Planning Commission voted to request that the Board of Supervisors grant the Commission an indefinite extension to consider this ordinance as part of a comprehensive review of the residential sections of the County Zoning Ordinance. However, no time period has been established for completion of this comprehensive review. Because the Board cannot legally grant an indefinite extension, Staff recommends that the Board merely withdraw its referral of the ordinance to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission can consider the issue on their own initiative and the matter would then be automatically referred to the Board of Supervisors with the context of their comprehensive ial sections of the County Zoning Ordinance.

Summary of Information: In connection with the budget process, the County Administrator proposed increases in certain Planning Department fees, as well as several new fees, to be implemented over a three-year period. The proposal was presented to the Planning Commission at a February 19, 2002 work session. The Commission declined to hold a public hearing on the proposal. Instead, the Commission decided to hold a public hearing at its March 19, 2002 meeting on a different proposal which increases fees by a substantially small percentage. A comparison of Administration's proposal and the Commission's proposal is attached. The Planning Commission's advertisement for a public hearing for fee increases of less than the Administration's proposal legally precludes the Board from holding a public hearing on the Administration's proposal at this time on March 27, 2002 along with the other budget-related public hearings.
