STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend denial for the following reasons:
A. Although the Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Plan suggests the property is
appropriate regional mixed use uses, to include high density residential (7.1
units/acre or more) uses, the current zoning allows more high density residential
than the Plan would suggest as appropriate.
Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service
B. The proffered conditions address the impact of this development on necessary
capital facilities, as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
Specifically, the needs for roads, schools, park:s, libraries and fire stations is
identified in the Public Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital
Improvement Program and the impact of this development is discussed herein.
The proffered conditions mitigate the impact on capital facilities, thereby insuring
adequate service levels are maintained and protecting the health, safety and
welfare of County citizens.
C. The security concerns, as expressed herein, have not been addressed.

UTILITIES
Public Water System:
The public water system is available to serve this site. A twelve (12) inch water line
extends along Lonas Park:way from Hull Street Road to the southern boundary of the
request site. A twelve (12) inch water line extends along Bridgewood Road. A twelve
(12) inch water line extends along a portion of Valley Crest Drive and transitions to an
eight (8) inch line before terminating approximately seventy (70) feet south of this site.
Eight (8) inch water lines were stubbed out from the twelve (12) inch line along Lonas
Park:way to serve future development on this site. To insure water quality and provide for
emergency feeds, internal looping of these water lines will be required plus additional
connections will be required to the water lines along Bridgewood Road and Valley Crest
Drive. Use of the public water system is required as a condition of zoning. (Proffered
Condition 4, Case 95SN0197)
5
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
Public Wastewater System:
The public wastewater system is available to serve this site. There is a thirty (30) inch
wastewater trunk: line extending along Nuttree Branch of Swift Creek:, adjacent to the
western boundary of this site. A ten (10) inch wastewater sub-trunk: line extends from the
thirty (30) inch line and transitions to an eight (8) inch line along the northern portion of
Lonas Park:way. The available capacity in the existing on-site wastewater lines will have
to be determined. Use of the public wastewater system is required as a condition of
zoning. (Proffered Condition 4, Case 95SN0197)
ENVIRONMENT AL
Drainage and Erosion:
The property drains to Nuttree Branch and then into Swift Creek:. There are no existing
or anticipated on- or off-site drainage or erosion problems.
Water Quality:
Nuttree Branch, which is the western property line, is a perennial stream and is subject to
a 100-foot conservation buffer adjacent to the wetlands. Approximately fifty percent
(50%) of the property that lies west of Lonas Park:way is located within the Resource
Protection Area (RPA), inside of which uses are very limited.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park: and transportation facilities is identified in the Public
Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls
are expected to increase 44 to 78 percent by 2022. Six (6) new fire/rescue stations are
recommended for construction by 2022 in the Plan. In addition to the new stations, the
Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5) existing stations.
Based on 575 dwelling units, this request will generate approximately 149 calls for fire
and emergency medical service each year. The applicant has addressed the impact on fire
and EMS. (Proffered Condition 3)
The Clover Hill Fire Station, Company #7, currently provides fire protection and
emergency medical service. When the property is developed, the number of hydrants,
quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated
during the plans review process.
6
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
Schools:
Approximately 305 (Elementary: 132, Middle: 75, High: 98) students will be generated
by this development. This site lies in the Crenshaw Elementary School attendance zone:
capacity - 707, enrollment - 752; Bailey Bridge Middle School zone: capacity - 1,521,
enrollment - 1,563; and Manchester High School zone: capacity - 2,107, enrollment -
2,149. The enrollment is based on September 29, 2006 and the capacity is as of 2006-
2007.
This request will have an impact on the elementary, middle and high schools involved.
There are currently seven (7) trailers at Crenshaw and five (5) at Manchester High
Schools. Tomahawk: Creek: Middle School is scheduled to open in the fall of 2008 and
will provide relief for schools in this area of the county.
This case combined with other residential developments and zoning cases in the area, will
continue to push these schools over capacity, necessitating some form of relief in the
future. The applicant has addressed the impact of the development on schools.
(Proffered Condition 3)
Libraries:
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed Countywide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throughout the County.
Development of the property would most lik:ely impact the existing Clover Hill Library,
the existing La Prade Library or a proposed new branch in the Reams-Gordon area. A
need for additional library space in this area of the county is identified in the Public
Facilities Plan. The applicant has offered measures to assist in addressing the impact of
this development on library facilities. (Proffered Condition 3)
Park:s and Recreation:
The Park:s and Recreation Department operates forty-one (41) park:s and athletic
complexes and selected athletic fields and recreation facilities on all sixty-one (61) school
sites, totaling over 3,800 acres.
County park:s and recreation needs are documented in the Public Facilities Plan, the
Riverfront Plan, the Bik:eways Plan and various comprehensive plan updates.
The current Capital Improvement Plan documents development costs to expand the park:
system to meet growth within the County and also infrastructure improvements to aging
facilities throughout the system. This spending plan totals $ 31,100,000 through the year
2012. The department has a current inventory of land and facilities in excess of
$72,000,000
7
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) regional, seven (7) community
and twenty-nine (29) neighborhood park:s by 2020. In addition, there is currently a
shortage of community and neighborhood park: acreage in the county. A need for 354
acres of regional park: space; 252 acres of community park: space; and 199 acres of
neighborhood park: space by 2020 is also identified. The Plan identifies the need for
linear park:s and resource-based special purpose park:s (historical, cultural and
environmental) and mak:es suggestions for their locations. The Plan addresses the need
for additional recreational facilities to include sports fields, trails, playgrounds, court
games, senior centers and picnick:ing area/shelters at existing park:s to complete build-out,
as well as the need for water access to the James and Appomattox Rivers and their major
tributaries, Swift and Falling Creek:s. Co-location with middle and elementary schools is
desired.
The applicant has offered measures to address the impact of this proposed development
on the infrastructure needs ofPark:s and Recreation. (Proffered Condition 3)
Transportation:
Proffered Condition 3 of Case 97SN0239 established a maximum equivalent density for
the overall development. Because the applicant is not requesting to modify this
maximum density, this request will have no impact on the traffic this development is
anticipated to generate.
Item 2 of the Textual Statement establishes a maximum density of 575 dwelling units.
Based on trip generation rates for apartments, development of the property could generate
approximately 3,600 average daily trips. This traffic will be distributed to Hull Street
Road (Route 360) which had a 2005 traffic count of 43,814 vehicles per day between
Route 288 and Genito Road and was functioning at an acceptable level. (Level of
Service D)
The Zoning Ordinance allows streets within condominium and townhouse developments
to be privately maintained. Staff recommends that all of the main streets within this
project be accepted into the State Highway System. Having these streets accepted into
the State Highway System will ensure their long-term maintenance. Item 3 of the
Textual Statement requires that all streets which accommodate general traffic circulation
will be designed and constructed to state (i.e., the Virginia Department of Transportation)
standards and tak:en into the State System.
Area roads need to be improved to address safety and accommodate the increase in traffic
generated by this development. The applicant has proffered to contribute cash, in an
amount consistent with the Board of Supervisors' Policy, towards mitigating the traffic
impact of this development (Proffered Condition 3). Cash proffers alone will not cover
the cost of the road improvements needed in this area. There are two (2) projects in the
VDOT Six-Year Improvement Program for this area. The first project involves widening
Route 360 to six (6) and eight (8) lanes from Swift Creek: to Winterpock: Road. The
construction of the westbound lanes was substantially completed and opened to traffic in
8
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
November. The final completion of the westbound lanes and the widening of eastbound
lanes will be completed in 2007. The second project involves reconstructing Bailey
Bridge Road as a two-lane road from Claypoint Road to Manchester High School.
Preliminary plans have been developed; however, the project is not anticipated to begin
until Fall 2010.

* Based on the Textual Statement (Item 2). The actual number of dwelling units and the
corresponding impact may vary
As noted, this proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has
calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, park:s, libraries, and
fire stations at $15,648 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of
$15,600 per unit would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed
development. The applicant has been further advised that a maximum proffer of $10,269 per
dwelling unit would defray the impact of the age-restricted portion of the development, as it will
have no increased impact on school facilities.
9
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other applicants,
the applicant has offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed zoning on such
capital facilities (Proffered Condition 3).
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed
and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer in this case.
Police:
The applicant is proposing to build a high-density residential project. With the support of
the county administration, the Police Department seek:s to have developers of new high
density residential projects implement its recommendations for Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED) which are planning and designing principles
that constitute proactive crime prevention tools. Through CPTED principles, proper
design and effective use of the environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and
incidence of crime. In addition, the Police Department recommends that high-density
residential projects either enter into a contract for the permanent presence of a police
officer on the premises or annually submit a security plan for review and approval.
The applicant has not addressed any of the Police Department's security concerns in the
submissions; accordingly, the Police Department does not support this request.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Powhite/Route 288 Area Development Plan which
suggests the property is appropriate for regional mixed use uses, to include high density
residential (7.1 units per acre or more) uses.
Area Development Trends:
The subject property lies within a mixed-use project in the southeast quadrant of Hull
Street Road and Route 288. Current uses in the project consist of retail and multifamily
uses. It is anticipated that a mix of uses will continue within this larger regional node.
However, the amount of high density residential suggested by the Plan has already been
developed.
Zoning History:
On May 24, 1995, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved rezoning with Conditional Use on property which
included the request site (Case 95SN0197). With the approval of Case 95SN0197
residential development was limited to a maximum of 450 dwelling units. Those units
have been developed on adjacent property to the south.
10
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
On April 15, 1997, the Planning Commission granted Schematic Plan approval of a
mixed-use project, which included the request site (Case 97PS0265). The schematic plan
established the boundaries between individual uses and addressed transitional concerns.
Property encompassing the request site was identified on the schematic plan as a regional
business parcel. If this request is approved a revised schematic plan must be approved.
Uses:
Case 95SN0197 permits development of the property for Regional Business (C-4) uses.
The applicant requests a Conditional Use and an amendment to Case 98SN0137 to permit
the option of developing multifamily and townhouse residential uses on the property, as
well as recreational facilities (Proffered Condition 2). Multifamily dwelling units would
not exceed a height of four (4) stories and may be attached or detached (Textual
Statement Items 19 and 20). It should be noted, uses currently allowed on the property
would continue to be allowed with approval of this case.
Model homes, as restricted in the Residential (R-88) District are also requested.
Site Design:
The request property lies within the 360 Corridor West Area Highway Corridor District.
The purpose of this district's standards is to recognize specified areas of the County as
unique and to enhance patterns of development in those areas. Except as addressed by
existing conditions of zoning, development of the site must conform to the Highway
Corridor District standards and the Emerging Growth Area District requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. Together, these standards address access, park:ing, landscaping,
architectural treatment, setback:s, signs, buffers, pedestrian access, utilities and screening
of dumpsters and loading areas.
Development of multifamily residential or condominium uses would comply with the
requirements established in the Textual Statement, Items 11 through 19. These
requirements address parcel area, density, setback:s from roads and property lines,
distance between buildings, setback:s for driveways and park:ing areas, and building
height, among other standards. In addition, these units could be attached or detached, per
these standards. Development of residential townhouse uses would comply with the
requirements established in Items 20 through 30 of the Textual Statement. These
requirements include percentage of lot coverage, density, setback:s, and driveways and
park:ing areas.
It should be noted, through this request for any residential development, the applicant is
deleting Proffered Conditions 10, 11 and 14 of Case 95SN0197, relative to architectural
standards, minimum square footage for townhouses and park:ing lot lighting (Proffered
Condition 6). These proffers would remain in effect for any non-residential development
on the property. Architectural standards and park:ing lot lighting will be addressed
through Ordinance requirements.
11
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
Architectural Treatment:
Currently, within the Route 360 Corridor West Area, the Ordinance requires a clearly
identifiable architectural theme for a project that provides for building elements that
break: up large building masses with a pedestrian scale environment between park:ing
areas and buildings. The architectural treatment of buildings must be compatible with
buildings located within the same project or within the same block: or directly across any
road, as determined by the Director of Planning. Compatibility may be achieved through
the use of similar building massing, materials, scale, colors and other architectural
features.
In addition, the applicant has provided that, for any townhouse development, in
conjunction with tentative subdivision plan submission, architectural and landscaping
plans shall be submitted to the Planning Department for approval. (Textual Statement
Item 34)
Density:
This request would permit the option to develop residential multifamily and townhouse
uses with no minimum acreage requirements (Textual Statement Items 11 and 30).
Development is to be limited to 575 dwelling units, yielding a density of approximately
eight (8) dwelling units per acre (Textual Statement Items 2 and 31). This density is
based upon the total acreage being developed for residential uses.
Park:ing and Driveways:
The Ordinance requires the prOVISIon of two (2) off-street park:ing spaces for each
dwelling unit, except that age restricted multifamily dwellings require a minimum of 1.2
park:ing spaces for each unit. An exception is requested to permit on street park:ing and
park:ing within garages to be credited towards this minimum requirement (Textual
Statement Item 7). While staff supports such exception since it reduces the amount of
impervious area and therefore, the impact on water quality, the developer and future
owners should be cautioned that it will not be possible in the future to convert garages
into living space.
Driveways and park:ing areas are to have concrete curbs and gutters however, there are to
be no setback:s for such structures. (Textual Statement Items 16 and 28)
Garages:
The applicant has indicated the probability of front-loaded garages within this
development, and has provided such garages would be no closer to the street than four (4)
feet beyond the front facade of the dwelling unit (Textual Statement Item 8). In an effort
to minimize the impact of front-loaded garages from the street, the Commission's policy
suggests such garages be no closer to the street than the front facade of the dwelling unit.
12
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
The applicant's proposal is not consistent with the policy. Staff recommends provision of
the typical standard for front loaded garages.
Sidewalk:s and Street Trees:
The applicant has agreed to provide sidewalk:s along both sides of all roads that have
homes fronting the road and street trees along each side of roads and driveways serving
individual dwelling units (Textual Statement Items 5 and 6). The exact location of
sidewalk:s is to be determined at time of tentative subdivision or site plan review.
Age Restriction:
Proffered Condition 4 provides for the option of limiting occupancy of some or all of the
proposed dwelling units to "housing for older persons" as defined in the Virginia Fair
Housing Law. While during the initial mark:eting of the project this restriction may be
clear to prospective occupants, there is a risk: that long-term, dwelling units may be sold
or rented to individuals that do not meet this age-restriction. Given staffs inability to
pro-actively enforce this condition prior to the purchase and occupancy of dwelling units,
staff recommends that this proffer not be accepted.
Recreational Facilities and Focal Point:
Passive and active recreational uses limited to facilities and uses that primarily serve the
surrounding residential community would be permitted (Proffered Condition 2). The
proffered condition provides for setback: restrictions and buffers to minimize the impact
of such recreational uses on surrounding residential development.
The applicant has offered a minimum of 0.75 acres of open space to serve as a focal point
as one enters the project (Textual Statement Item 4). This is typical for this type of
development proposal.
Buffers and Screening:
Adjacent property to the east is zoned Residential (R-9) and is occupied by single family
residences in Glen Tara subdivision. The Zoning Ordinance requires the provision of a
seventy-five (75) foot buffer on C-4 property where adjacent to residentially zoned
properties. With the development of residential uses, the applicant is proposing a fifty (50)
foot buffer adjacent to these properties (Textual Statement, Item 11). Further, all required
buffers for townhouse development are to be located within recorded open space (Textual
Statement Item 30).
CONCLUSIONS
Although the Powhite/Route 288 Development Area Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
regional mixed use uses, to include high density residential (7.1 units/acre or more) uses, the
current zoning allows more high-density residential than the Plan would suggest as appropriate.
13
07SN0336-AUG22-BOS
Additional high-density residential development is not in k:eeping with the recommendations of
the Plan. Further, the security concerns as expressed herein and location of front loaded garages
have not been addressed.
Given these considerations, denial of this request is recommended.
