Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the south to homes located along Curtis Circle, a dedicated
County right of way utilized by several homes for access.
There are currently no on- or off-site erosion problems and none are anticipated after
development. Offsite, there were some minor drainage problems that were previously
addressed. Any additional impervious areas could cause these drainage problems to re-
occur. Proffered Condition 3 provides that if additional impervious areas are installed, the

Transportation:
The applicant is requesting rezoning of the property (0.6 acre) from Residential (R-7) to
Corporate Office (0-2). This request will have a minimal impact on the existing
transportation network:. Traffic generated by this development will be distributed along
Curtis Street and along West Hundred Road (Route 10). Based on the most recent data
from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the section of Route 10
between Jefferson Davis Highway and Chester Road was carrying 30,728 vehicles per
day (VPD) in 2005. The capacity of this section of Route 10 is acceptable (Level of
Service C) for the volume of traffic it currently carries.

The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Route 10 as a major arterial with a recommended right
of way width of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate forty-five (45)
feet of right of way, measured from the centerline of Route 10, in accordance with that
Plan. (Proffered Condition 1)
Access to major arterials, such as Route 10, should be controlled. The applicant has
proffered that no direct vehicular access will be provided from the property to Route 10
(Proffered Condition 2). Access from the property to Route 10 will be provided via Curtis
Street.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of The Chester Plan, which designates the request property for
office/residential mixed use to include residential uses of varying densities and office
uses.
Area Development Trends:
Area properties are currently zoned Residential (R-7) and Corporate Office (0-2) and are
occupied by single family residences in OakJand Subdivision and a mixture of office,
residential and public/semi-public uses (church) or are vacant. As suggested by the Plan,
a mixture of office and residential use along this portion of the Route 10 Corridor is
anticipated to continue.
To address concerns of the Bermuda District Planning Commissioner, Proffered
Condition 4 limits uses to those permitted by right or with restrictions in the
Neighborhood Office (0-1) District.
Development Standards:
The request property lies within the Chester Village Corridor East area of the Chester
Village District. The purpose of the Village District standards is to recognize unique
villages within the county and to maintain and reinforce the character, identity and
pedestrian scale by continuing and enhancing existing patterns of development.
Redevelopment of the site or new construction must conform to the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance which address street lights, street tree plantings, access, parking,
landscaping, architectural treatment, setback:s, signs, buffers, utilities, and screening of
dumpsters and loading areas.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land use complies with The Chester Plan which suggests the property
is appropriate for a mix of residential and office uses. Given these considerations, approval of this
request is recommended.
