TO CONSIDBR THE UPPBR SWIFT CRBEK PLAN AMBNDMENT AND COMPANION ORDINANCE AMBNDMBNTS Mr. Turner stated this date and time has been advertised for a public hearing for the Board to consider the Upper Swift Creek Plan amendment and companion ordinance amendments. He reviewed the geography of the existing Plan and the Plan amendment. He then provided details of the accompanying ordinance amendments. He stated, in addition to recommending denial of the Plan amendment, the Planning Commission also recommended that the Board adopt level of service standards for roads and public schools; approve additional commercial uses along Route 360; not adopt the buffer ordinance, but adopt the mandatory water and waste water connections; not adopt water and waste water prohibition in the deferred 07-937 10/10/07 growth areaj and not adopt the phosphorus loading limitations. He further stated during the period since the Board's deferral of the Plan amendment, staff has met with citizens, Board members and powhatan officials to discuss the imposition of possible water quality limitations, which would lessen the impact of development on the reservoir. He provided details of actions being requested of the Board, including adoption of the Upper Swift C~reek Plan amendment, approving changes to the Thoroughfare Plan as recommended by the Transportation Department including the realignment of the powhite Parkway extension at Genito Road. He stated the Board could adopt the Plan with the Planning Commission's modifications, or instead of adopting a deferred growth area, could not adopt the deferred growth area and replace it with residential, at two units per acre. He further stated another option would be to expand the deferred growth area east to Otterdale Road and south to Duval Road. He stated the Planning Commission recommended that language be included to provide levels of service for schools and transportation within the Plan, but staff is recommending that the Board not adopt those standards for this geography because this could better be addressed on a county-wide basis. He provided details of the Plan strategies relative to phosphorous load standards. He stated staff is recommending that the Board adopt the water quality standards presented in the ordinance, with the exception that a 0.45 standard be maintained for commercial and industrial property. He further stated concerns have been expressed relative to the study provided to the county by its consultant, CH2M Hill, and staff is recommending that there be no peer peer-review of the study at this time. He stated both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the Board adopt the proposed ordinance that would require mandatory connection to water and wastewater systems as property develops. He further stated concerns have been expressed relative to the ordinance requiring a 200-foot buffer adjacent to roads within the Plan geography. He stated the Planning Commission recommends that the Board not adopt the buffer ordinance, and staff is suggesting that the Board not adopt 200 feet, but adopt a lOa-foot buffer instead. Mr. Miller called for public comment. Mr. Tyler Craddock, representing the Homebuilders Association of Richmond, stated in his opinion, the Plan should not be adopted. He expressed concerns relative to the phosphorous load requirements, indicating that it is clear that the proposed 0.16 standard is unrealistic and not based on scientific data. He also expressed concerns relative to the deferred growth area and the buffer requirements. He urged the Board to not adopt the Plan as it is fatally flawed. Mr. Carson Martin expressed concerns relative to the proposal to move the powhi te Parkway extension further west. He inquired why the densities are so high for the Plan geography and suggested that they be lowered. He expressed concerns relative to the commercial zoning proposed at the intersection of the proposed powhi te Extension and Geni to Road. Ms. Norma Szakal expressed concerns relative to rapid growth in the Matoaca and Clover Hill districts. She stated the county needs to plan for land use and development and 07-938 10/10/07 --- -- calculate the future impact on schools, mental health services, police service, and better roads. She expressed concerns relative to the need for water, indicating that the county has seen the dire affects of the drought on the lakes and the surrounding land. - Mr. Ryland Reamy, President of the Brandermill Community Association, stated he supports the Plan amendment and related ordinances. He further stated he also supports the transportation and schools level of service recommendations from the Planning Commission and urged the Board to include these recommendations in the revised Upper Swift Creek Plan. He stated the Board needs to approve the Plan now so that the updated guidelines will be applied to pending zoning cases in the Upper Swift Creek area. He suggested that a sunset provision be added to the water quality ordinance, requiring it to be reevaluated within no more than five years to ensure that it is accomplishing the desired outcomes. He also suggested that staff meet the timeline to complete the remaining ordinances, policies and practices needed to implement, monitor and enforce the Plan revisions. He suggested that a comprehensive infrastructure funding plan be initiated to identify the means to pay for the county's projected needs for transportation, schools and other infrastructure. He stated it is important that the growth management tools employed by the county not impede in economic development or the availability of affordable housing. Anne Marie Sheridan, a resident of requested that the Board consider a water quality ordinance. the Matoaca District, sunset clause for the Mrs. Lee Diller, a resident of the Matoaca District requested that the Board defer the Plan amendment and take additional time to study the issues, such as the deferred growth area and the phosphorous load levels. Mr. Charles Payne requested that the Board consider moving the powhite Parkway extension west. Mr. Stuart Nixon, a Woodlake resident, expressed concerns relative to allowing developers to cause problems and then attempting to collect money to fix the problems. Ms. Kitty Snow expressed concerns relative to infrastructure and safety issues. She requested that the Board include Otterdale Road as a boundary of the deferred growth area. She expressed concerns relative to the number of homes already approved between Mount Hermon and Otterdale roads. She also expressed concerns relative to lengthy school bus rides of Moseley students. Mr. Barrett, a resident of Clover Hill Road, requested that the Board deny the deferred growth area, indicating that it is a bad policy that affects the ability of home ownership throughout the entire county and may actually be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. Mr. Dave Anderson, a developer for the Roseland development, which is currently under zoning review, expressed concerns relative to the proposed ordinance requiring a 200-foot buffer, indicating that this is the wrong solution to combat 07-939 10/10/07 an environmental problem. He stated adding this buffer would make it harder for citizens to use anything but their automobile for their transportation needs. He expressed concerns relative to the proposal to change the phosphorus loading numbers to 0.16 for residential development, indicating that this would have the unintended effect of furthering the worst form of sprawl. He stated it is troubling that the Roseland neighborhood could not be built as envisioned with the 0.16 requirement. He further stated it has become clear that there are many assumptions deserving of peer review, which he believes is an important next step in assessing solutions. He stated he agrees with the consultant that there were options that would keep the reservoir healthy, including low impact development techniques, without ever having to change the ordinance. He further stated, for more than three years, developers have spent millions of dollars and worked with some of the country's finest consultants to develop the plan for Roseland. He requested that the Board not increase buffers or reduce the phosphorous loading requirement. -_..." Bruce Moseley, owner of a cattle farm on Mount Hermon Road, expressed concerns relative to the proposed deferred growth area, indicating that this would impact the market value of his property should he become unable to continue farming. He urged the Board not to totally stop development in this area and to work with landowners and developers to achieve a plan that protects the environment and allows for realistic development in a responsible manner. He stated roads and schools should be built as the area is developed in a timely and logical manner. --' Jim Theobold stated, in his opinion, the Plan is flawed in the areas of water quality and growth management. He stated lowered phosphorous removal criteria will have a negative impact on business. He further stated restricting development in a deferred growth area is not consistent with the county's advertisements that Chesterfield is open for business. He stated he represents Otterdale Ventures, which has a pending zoning case, and expressed concerns that the proposed Plan suggests no fewer than four different land use categories on the 177 acres included in the case. He suggested that the area along Route 360 would be more appropriate as a mixed-use pattern consistent with the Magnolia Green CDA. He requested that the Board consider the impact of 200-foot buffers on small property owners. He expressed concerns that moving the powhite Parkway extension further west would potentially cost an additional $6 to $10 million. Mr. Michael Brandon, a long-time resident of Chesterfield County, expressed concerns that the deferred growth proposal would take away his right to develop his property. -..-'" Mr. James Shelton stated he hopes to continue to drink water in Chesterfield County over the next 40 or expressing concerns relative to the increased phosphorous going into the reservoir. 50 years, levels of Ms. Andrea Epps stated she feels it would be better back and review the phosphorous data and come up number that is supported by the validated model. She stated, although she understands the concerns to step with a further of the 07-940 10/10/07 residents in the proposed deferred growth area, she sees no harm in implementing this if the Board is going to re- consider it in five years. She suggested that, in January, the Board have serious discussions relative to one countywide comprehensive plan, indicating that this would be in the best interest of everyone. Mr. William Shewmake, a resident of the Midlothian District, stated the Planning Commission, with their recommendation for denial, has recognized that the Plan is not right. He requested that the Board follow the Planning Commission's recommendation and not approve the Plan. He expressed concerns relative to flawed phosphorous load level data, indicating that lowering the phosphorous load standards would essentially eliminate all residential development. Dr. Betty Hunter-Clapp, a resident of the Clover Hill District, expressed concerns relative to infrastructure issues and water quality in the Plan area. She stated she agrees that the county needs additional commercial growth, indicating that one of the best ways to get stable commercial ventures to locate in the county is to demonstrate a government that provides a safe and adequate infrastructure for the workers who move here. She stressed the need for a plan for the reservoir and begged the Board to look beyond the short-term when considering this issue. Mr. Bob Schaffer, a licensed engineer in Virginia and a resident of the Matoaca District, expressed concerns relative to maintaining the quality of the water in the reservoir. He stated, in his opinion, the county needs to determine what the 0.22 phosphorous load level is doing to the reservoir before decreasing it again. He urged the Board to deny the Plan and put forth some effort to develop a better plan. Ms. Marti Mitchell, representing the Board of Directors of the Woodlake Community Association, stated although she recognizes that there are still some issues with the proposed Upper Swift Creek Plan revision, she supports it with the related water quality ordinances recommended by the staff. She further stated she also supports the transportation and school levels of service recommendations made by the Planning Commission and would like to see these recommendations included in the revised Plan. She requested that the Board include a sunset provision in the water quality ordinance requiring it to be re-evaluated within five years. She stated she does not oppose development in the Plan area, just wants to see growth that is responsible and mindful of the environment and safety and welfare of its citizens. Mr. Tom Pakurar, a Clover Hill District resident, reminded the Board that we are not owners of the land, just stewards taking care of it for future generations. He provided details of the history of water quality studies of the reservoir and urged the Board to support a no net increase phosphorous level provision. In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Pakurar stated the Brandermill community has 33 percent open space and trees, and the natural buffers remove the pollutants from the runoff, indicating that both Brandermill and Woodlake have achieved a 0.12 or 0.13 phosphorous standard, as measured by county staff for the past five years. 07-941 10/10/07 Mr. Peter Martin, a resident of the proposed deferred growth area, stated he supports the Planning Commission's recommended levels of service. He further stated all of the problems in this area cannot all be solved with this small area of deferred growth. He stated, in his opinion, the water quality restrictions need sunset clauses and he agrees that the issue needs to be further studied. He noted that Woodlake and Brandermill are very good models to follow for phosphorous levels. -" Mr. Andy Scherzer, a resident in the Upper Swift Creek area, stated a critical issue that needs to be considered is the economic engine and the responsible growth that could occur around the Watkins Centre. He expressed concerns relative to having a deferred growth area immediately adj acent to the regional employment center. He stated it: makes sense to have fair and responsible growth of the area designated for deferred growth. He further stated he supports the level of service for schools and roads. He sugg,ested that the Board take additional time to evaluate the issues fully because of the uncertainties and the questions that have been raised. Mr. Casey Sowers expressed concerns relative to the processes that have led to some of the proposed ordinance changes, specifically the 0.16 phosphorous level and the buffers. He provided details of the landscape master plan for the Roseland project and noted that the plan documents speak to both water quality and water conservation. Mr. Ashby Spence, a resident of West County Road and owner of a lOa-acre cattle farm/ expressed conCE:rns relative to the deferred growth area. He stated the farmers are doing things to conserve runoff and protect the environment. He suggested that the county come up with a total watershed solution that addresses the existing homeowners, as well as new and potential homeowners. .--,"' Mr. John Easter, representing the Chesterfield Business Council, expressed concerns relative to the proposed ordinance to lower the total phosphorus runoff to 0.16 pounds of phosphorus per acre per year. He stated serious questions remain unanswered concerning the proposed ordinance relative to phosphorous content. He further stated discussions with members of the private engineering community and with the county's Environmental Engineering staff indicate that the .16 phosphorous limit cannot be achieved on site. He stated the watershed includes a number of locations intended for commercial or industrial development that are critical to the ongoing economic vitality of the county. He noted that the ordinance already includes the ability to meet the phosphorus standard through the purchase of phosphorus credits or through payment into a county fund that would be used for reductions in the phosphorus loading. HE~ stated, although he recognizes the need for the county to act as an environmental steward, the necessity of adopting a s1:andard that is not realistic should be considered carefully. He inquired whether the phosphorous limitation was being proposed out of necessity or to preserve the esthetics of the reservoir. He expressed concerns relative to imposing severe limitations on development and requested that the Board not take action on the proposed phosphorous limitations until answers are available. 07-942 10/10/07 - Mr. Buddy Sowers, a resident of Midlothian, stated the phosphorous levels are already at or below the recommended new limitations, and inquired why the Plan does not consider development at those densities that already exist on developed property in the area. He expressed concerns that numerous engineers have indicated to the Board that 0.16 is not achievable, without 5-plus acre densities, and is impossible for commercial development. He suggested that the Board consider peer review of the models that have been submitted and carefully consider the issues. He stated if the phosphorous limitation was applied county-wide, it would stop development in its tracks. He urged the Board to reconsider the Plan, postpone it, or perhaps do what the Planning Commission recommended and deny or reject it. Mr. Mike Harten, Vice President of the Responsible Growth Alliance of Chesterfield County, stated a complicated and crucial plan like this cannot be rushed, indicating that the Plan is not ready for approval. He further stated the Planning Commission recommended, on a vote of 4-0, that the Board not adopt the Plan. He stated a deferred growth area in the watershed is essential, but there are far more infrastructure issues yet to be satisfactorily addressed in order to insure that the public facilities and service needs are met. He requested that the Board remand the Plan to the Planning Commission and not short circuit the progress that has been made by adopting this half-completed draft. There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Miller requested a brief recess. Reconvening: Mrs. Humphrey referenced a pending zoning case at Otterdale Road and Hull Street, which includes 177 acres, and stated she believes that based on the size of the project/ a regional mixed-use commercial center would be appropriate at that location and would also be a commercial opportunity for the county. She proposed as an amendment to the Plan that from the corner of Otterdale Road and Hull Street all the way to the property line of Chesterfield Baptist Church, to include the Deckert and Nunnally parcels, be included in a regional mixed-use area. She stated, in her opinion, this is a practical use of the property. Discussion ensued relative to the Thoroughfare Plan alignment referenced by several of the speakers. Mr. McCracken stated the proposed alignment was requested by residents in the area, who were affected by the current alignment and requested that the Board look at an adjustment that would avoid their properties and move the powhite Parkway extension to the west. Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to conflicting information from to the Planning staff's recommendations. He stated serious remain, and in his opinion, the Plan is the amount of Commission and questions still not ready for 07-943 10/10/07 approval. He stated the required phosphorous levels need to be reevaluated one way or another. He stated he thinks the Board needs to be more realistic about the impact of commercial development on the deferrE~d growth area. He further stated he does not support adopting a Plan that is not ready for adoption. Mr. Sowder thanked Mr. Turner for following up with powhatan County since Chesterfield supplies water to Powhatan, and this is an opportunity for regional cooperation. He stated the Board's challenge is to make sure what is implemented is realistic, fair to all segments of society and done in such a way as to not have any adverse impact on potential economic development. He further stated he agrees with a lot of the proposed Plan, but has a problem with the county selecting a proposed deferred growth area. He stated prohibiting the extension of water and sewer to that area does in fact determine the current marketability and market value of that property. He further stated he is uncomfortable with a government system, which he is a part of, that negates the rights of property owners to do what is right with their property as long as it meets government regulations. He stated, in his opinion, there are better ways to manage growth in an area than suggesting it for deferred growth, indicating that he could not support that portion of the proposed Plan. He expressed concerns relative to restricting future developments adjacent to the Route 288 Corridor. He also expressed concerns relative to establishing the new standard for phosphorus run off of 0.16 pounds per acre per year and to misinformation regarding this issue. He inquired whether the proposed phosphorous standard is attainable. He expressed concerns that statistical data was used from 2003, which was the year of Hurricane Isabel, when we had the most rain in 20 years. He stated there are huge amounts of unknowns for the Board to undertake anew, unknown, undocumented standard. He further stated the current standard, which is 0.22, appears to be working well and worth considering with the provisions that the county continues to monitor the reservoir. He stated he could support the Plan as presented tonight, with the deferred growth area being removed and the water quality standard remaining as it currently exists. Mr. King stressed the importance of commercial development in the corridor not being affected. Mr. Miller inquired why staff does not approve of the Planning Commission's proposed levels of service. Mr. Turner stated staff evaluates infrastructure needs on a countywide basis, allocates resources to address those needs, and prioritizes them across the county. He further stated, in staff's opinion, developing standards in an isolated geography without the benefit of taking the rest of the county into consideration puts other parts of the county in jeopardy. Discussion ensued relative to the Planning Commission and staff's differing proposals relative to buffers. In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Turner stated staff is recommending the increase in buffers because of competition in the buffer areas. He stated, as roads widen, 07-944 10/10/07 -- ,~ utilities need to be relocated. He further stated increasing would make room for improvements as they arise, while still having trees remaining. Discussion ensued relative to the prohibition of water and wastewater within the proposed deferred growth area and to staff's determination of the proposed phosphorous standards. Mr. Turner stated the state is developing new water quality standards that the county would be able to adopt in the future so that circumstances would change and what is being committed to through the Plan would be a model to look at water quality on a regular basis every three years, and as changes need to be addressed, return to the Board at that time with recommendations. Discussion ensued relative to the acreage in the proposed deferred growth area. Mr. Miller inquired about the possibility of adopting the Plan at the current 0.22 phosphorous standard, and add a provision for developers who submit future residential rezonings to supplement those standards and to help protect the water quality of the Swift Creek Reservoir. The county would measure the phosphorous levels and at some point in time, when there are two years, back to back data that the water quality of the Swift Creek Reservoir has reached a median level that exceeds at 0.04 milligrams per liter in- lake phosphorous, then developers must implement phosphorous loading standards that are more restrictive than the standards of the zoning ordinance, or implement more restrictive requirements for zoned but undeveloped land. Mr. Turner stated a provision such as Mr. Miller has outlined could be included in the Plan. He noted that, for the county to impose that condition, zoning cases would need to be for rezoning plus conditional use. Mr. Miller stated adding this language to the Plan protects future water quality. Mr. Turner provided the following suggested language for Mr. Miller's request relative to effective water quality alternatives: "The zoning ordinance includes maximum post- development phosphorus load standards for new development in the Upper Swift Creek Watershed. In order to supplement those standards and to help protect the water quality of the Swift Creek Reservoir, the County establishes the goal that future residential rezonings include appropriate conditions, in addition to the requirements of the zoning ordinance, to mitigate the impact of development on water quality in the Upper Swift Creek Watershed. Such conditions could include (i) implementing phosphorus loading standards that are more restrictive than the standards of the zoning ordinancej (ii) implementing more restrictive requirements for zoned but undeveloped land if notified by the Director of Environmental Engineering that the water quality of the Swift Creek Reservoir has reached a median level that exceeds .04 mg/l in-lake phosphorus for two consecutive years, or exceeds other applicable water quality standards; and/or (iii) implementing other measures approved by the Director of Environmental Engineering to address the impact of 07-945 10/10/07 development on water quality in the Upper Swift Creek Watershed." Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns that three-year samplings, rather than two, would provide more valid and comparative data. Mr. Scott Flanigan, Senior Water Quality Analyst, noted that the state water criteria adopted in August 2007, would require two consecutive years at 0.04. _....' Mr. King inquired whether this provision would impact businesses. Mr. Turner stated the provision would only impact residential development, and not business owners. He further stated the standard that staff has suggested for businesses, 0.45 pounds of phosphorous per acre per year, is actually the standard that has been adopted by the state for the localities that are subject to the Chesapeake Bay Act. Mrs. Humphrey made a motion for the Board to adopt the Upper Swift Creek Plan and ordinances with the following revisions: include the provision she outlined relative to the Nunnally, Bailey and Decker properties for a regional mixed-use corridorj delete the deferred growth area recommended by the Planning Commission and staff; not adopt the water and wastewater prohibition ordinances; adopt the buffer ordinances to include a lOa-foot buffer along arterial roads and scenic vistasj adopt the mandatory water and wastewater ordinances; not include levels of service criteria for schools or roads; and include Mr. Miller's recommendation relative to water quality monitoring. She noted that she does want to maintain the current 0.22 pounds of phosphorous per acre. -,' In response to Board members' questions, Mr. Turner stated the water quality staff will monitor phosphorous levels every two years, but will rerun the model and monitor the impacts every three years. Mrs. Humphrey stated her last suggestion is to confirm the western alignment of the Powhite Parkway extension. Mr. Turner inquired whether Mrs. Humphrey wanted to include in her motion the amendment recommended by Mr. Bass, regarding the property on the south side of Route 360, between Route 288 and Winterpock Road and the appropriateness of commercial uses, including neighborhood convenience retail, restaurants and personal services. Mrs. Humphrey indicated that she did wish to include the UBass amendment." .-..' Mr. Sowder seconded Mrs. Humphrey's motion. Mrs. Humphrey clarified that her motion included the associated ordinance amendments for mandatory water and wastewater and a lOa-foot buffer along arterial roads for residential zoning. Mr. Miller called for a vote on the motion of Mrs. seconded by Mr. Sowder, for the Board to adopt Humphrey, the Upper 07-946 10/10/07 Swift Creek Plan, including all of the amendments proposed by Mrs. Humphrey. And, further, the Board adopted the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED, BY AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTIONS 19-520, 19-522 and 19-523 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING TO BUFFERS BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County: (1) That Sections 19-520, 19-522 and 19-523 of the Code of the County of Chesterfield/ 1997/ as amended, is amended and re-enacted to read as follows: Secs. 19-520. Purpose and intent. (a) Buffers shall be designed to provide a horizontal distance and open space between certain uses; preserve vegetation; provide transition and separationj reduce noise and glare j maintain privacy, and/or preserve existing forested vistas adjacent to arterial roads. Buffers shall provide intermittent visual separation between uses. 000 Secs. 19-522. Buffer and screening requirements. (a) Buffers: Buffers shall be provided as shown on the buffer width matrixes in section 19-523. Landscaping shall be accomplished wi thin required buffers as follows: 000 (5) A lOa-foot buffer shall consist of an unbroken strip of open space and shall be planted at three times the density of perimeter landscaping C. 000 Sees. 19-523. Buffer width matrix. (a) Buffers between adj acent properties: The required width of buffers shall be determined from the following matrix.
