PUBLIC FACILITIES Fire Service: This request will have a minimal impact on fire and emergency medical services. Transportation: In 1986, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning of 35 acres for development of an office project (Gateway Centre), located in the northeast quadrant of the then proposed Midlothian Turnpike (Route 60)/Powhite Parkway interchange (case86S 107). In 1987, the Board also approved the rezoning of approximately 44 acres for expansion of the Gateway Centre project (Case 86S 164). The subject properties were included in both'of those zoning cases. 3 01SN0261/WP/SEPT26K In conjunction with those zoning approvals, the Board imposed several transportation related conditions, including a condition that established a maximum density of development on'the 44 acre parcel. The applicant's requested deletion of the Master Plans and Parking conditions will not affect any of the existing transportation conditions. At time of site plan review, staff will evaluate the specific land use and densities, and make the necessary adjustments to the approved maximum density for the Gateway Centre project. Comprehensive Plan: LAND USE Lies within-the boundaries of the Eastern Midlothian Plan which suggests the properties are appropriate for light industrial uses. Area Development Trends: Properties to the north and east are zoned for office and residential uses and are part of Gateway Centre office park and Bon Air Hills and Bon Air Vista Subdivisions. Properties to the west are zoned for residential and office uses and are occupied by single family residences and by commercial uses in the Arboretum.. Properties to the south are zoned for office, commercial and industrial use and are occupied by commercial and office uses. It is anticipated that office and commercial development will continue to occur along this portion of the Midlothian Turnpike Corridor. Zoning History: On December 15, 1986, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Co.mmission, approved the rezoning with Conditional Use Planned Development on a portion ofthe request property. (Case 86S 107) On April 22, 1987, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, approved the rezoning with Conditional Use planned Development on a portion of the request property. (Case 86S164) With the approval of Cases 86S 107 and 86S 164, conditions were imposed to minimize the impact of the proposed development on adjacent properties. In addition, subsequent to the approval of Cases 86S 107 and 86S164, Gateway Office Park has begun developing on the property. Site Design: The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Area. Redevelopment of the site or new construction must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and conditions 4 01 SN0261/WP/SEPT26K of zoning approval for Cases 86S107 and 86S164, which address access, landscaping, architectural treatment, building height, density, setbacks, signs, buffers, utilities and transportation. With deletion of the Master Plan conditions, the development must conform to the other conditions of zoning. Parking Space Size: Conditions of zoning allow ninety (90) percent of the surface parking spaces to be 9.5 feet wide. Current Ordinance standards allow 9.0 foot wide parking spaces. CONCLUSION Deletion of the parking space size restrictions will allow compliance with current Ordinance standards. Deletion of the requirement to develop in accordance with the approved Master Plans will allow flexibility in the continued development of the property. In addition, deletion of these conditions will not adversely impact the ability to ensure a coordinated development and protection of adjacent residential development. Development requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and previous conditions of zoning approval further ensure compatibility with area development and minimize any adverse impact on area development. Given these considerations, approval of these requests is recommended. CASE HISTORY Planning Commission Meeting (7/17/01): The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was one (1) person who expressed concern that this request may affect buffers and permitted uses.
