Public Water System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch water line extending along the south side of Robious
Road, adjacent to the request site. In addition, there is an existing eight (8) inch water line
in Old Bon Air Road, adjacent to the northeast comer of the request site. Use of the public
water system is intended and has been proffered. (Proffered Condition 1)
8
98SN0153/WP/APR22K
Public Wastewater System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector extending along Huntersdell
Terrace, in Bon Air Forest, Sec. A, approximately 150 feet west of the request site. Use
of the public wastewater system is intended and has been proffered. (Proffered Condition
1)
The necessary wastewater line extension is to be designed as deep as possible so as to
ultimately provide service to adjacent properties. This will be addressed during site plan
review. Additional on-site easements for future extensions to adjacent properties may be
requested at that time.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
Site is very flat and drains in several directions. All runoff eventually drains under
Robious Road and then, via storm sewers, to Pocoshock Creek. Due to the flatness of the
area, water stands on the rear of several lots which front along Huntersdell Terrace in Bon
Air Forest Subdivision to the west of the subject property. There are no erosion problems
anticipated based on the proposed use, but if drainage is not redirected to Robious Road
or improvements made to the existing ditch the quantity of standing water will increase.
(Proffered Condition 9.b.). It may be necessary to obtain offsite easements and make
improvement to control runoff from increased development.
The applicants have proffered that, with the exception of timbering to remove dead or
diseased trees which has been approved by the Department of Forestry, there will be no
timbering until a land disturbance permit has been obtained from the Environmental
Engineering Department (Proffered Condition 2). This will ensure that proper erosion
control measures are in place prior to any timbering and related land disturbance.
Water Ouality:
The applicants have agreed that any facilities for water quantity or quality control would
be landscaped or improved so as to become visual enhancements and amenities to any
development on the property. (Proffered Condition 9.a.)
9 98SN0153/WP/APR22K
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that Emergency Services calls are expected to increase
forty-five (45) percent by the year 2015. Eight (8) new fire/rescue stations are
recommended for construction by the year 2015 in the Public Facilities Plan.
This property is currently served by the Bon Air Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number
4 and Forest View Rescue Squad. When the property is developed, the number of
hydrants and quantity of water needed for fire protection will be evaluated during the plans
review process. Also, the need for fire lanes will be determined during the review of the
aforementioned plans.
This request will not limit development to a specific land use; therefore, it is difficult to
anticipate traffic generation. Based on drug store with drive through window and general
office trip rates, development could generate approximately 1,550 average daily trips. These
vehicles will be distributed along Old Bon Air Road and Robious Road which had 1997
traffic counts of 10,976 and 19,398 vehicles per day, respectively.
The Six Year Secondary Road Improvement Program includes a project to widen Robious
Road to a four lane divided facility from Route 60 to Huguenot Park. Right-of-way
acquisition for this project is anticipated to begin in Spring 1998 and construction is
anticipated to begin in Spring 2000.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Old Bon Air Road as a collector road with a recommended
right-of-way width of seventy (70) feet. The Plan also identifies Robious Road as a major
arterial with a recommended right-of-way width of ninety (90) feet. The applicants have
proffered to dedicate thirty-five (35) feet of right-of-way measured from the centerline of Old
Bon Air Road, forty-five (45) feet of right of way measured from the centerline of Robious
Road, and any additional right-of-way as identified on the approved construction plans for
the Robious Road widening project. 0~roffered Condition 5)
Development must adhere to the Development Standards Manual in the Zoning Ordinance,
relative to access and internal circulation ~ivision 5). Access to collectors, such as Old Bon
Air Road, and to major arterials, such as Robious Road, should be controlled. Due to
development that has occurred in the area, especially along Old Bon Air Road, it is difficult
to develop an ideal access plan for the property. The best access plan for the property, as
proffered by the applicant, will limit direct access to Old Bon Air Road and Robious Road
to one (1) entrance/exit onto each roadway (Proffered Condition 6). The proffer requires
that an access easement be recorded across the property to ensure shared use of both of these
10
98SN0153/WP/APR22K
accesses with the adjacent property to the west. The Robious Road access will be limited to
right turns in and right tums out only.
Road improvements must be provided to mitigate the traffic impact of this development.
The applicants have proffered to; 1) construct additional pavement along Old Bon Air Road
to provide left and right mm lanes; 2) construct additional pavement along Robious Road to
provide a right mm lane; 3) construct a raised median on Robious Road to restrict the
Robious Road access to right turns in and right turns out only; and 4) provide full cost of
traffic signal modifications at the Old Bon Air Road/Robious Road intersection (Proffered
Condition 7). Constructing the road improvements along Old Bon Air Road must not alter
any lane geometrics or storage lengths at the Old Bon Air Road/Robious Road intersection.
In order to construct the proffered road improvements, "off-site" fight-of-way may be
necessary. If the developer is unable to acquire the off-site right-of-way necessary for these
road improvements, the proffer allows the developer to request the County to acquire such
right-of-way as a public road improvement. All costs associated with the right-of-way
acquisition will be borne by the developer. In the event the County chooses not to assist the
developer in acquiring the off-site right-of-way, the developer will be relieved of the
obligation to acquire the off-site right-of-way and will only be required to provide the road
improvements that can be accommodated within available right-of-way.
Exhibit A was submitted with this request. A right mm lane along Robious Road is shown
on the Exhibit with a note that describes the dimension of that mm lane (i.e. 100 foot mm
lane and 100 foot taper). The required storage lane length for this right mm lane may need
to be greater than noted on the Exhibit. The design of the parking lot on Parcel C and the
location of the Old Bon Air Road access, could cause vehicle conflicts that affect traffic
traveling along Old Bon Air Road. The Exhibit notes that all improvements shown are
conceptual only. At time of site plan review, specific recommendations will be provided
regarding access, internal circulation and design of the proffered road improvements.
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation Plan which
suggests the property is appropriate for office use.
Area Development Trends:
Adjacent properties to the north and west are zoned and developed for single-family
residential use, while adjacent properties to the south and east are zoned and developed for
commercial uses. The Plan anticipates continued residential development to the north and
west of the subject property.
11 98SN0153/WP/APR22K
On April 28, 1976, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recoinmendation from the
Planning Commission, approved the rezoning to Office Business (O) on a portion of the
request property. (Case 76S047)
On September 28, 1977, the Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to Case 76S047
to allow parking to encroach into a required buffer on a portion of the request property.
(Case 77S100)
The request property lies within a Post Development Area. Redevelopment of the site or
new construction must conform to the requirements of the Development Standards Manual
which address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, signs,
buffers, utilities, and screening of dumpsters and loading areas.
It is the intent to develop the northern and western part of the property for those uses
permitted in the Corporate Office (0-2) District and to allow use exception such as a
pharmacy to be developed at the corner of Robious and Old Bon Air Roads (proffered
Condition 3). Uses permitted in Corporate Office Districts include a multitude of uses
such as professional/business offices to funeral homes, medical clinics, etc. The applicants
have agreed to restrict the uses that could be developed on the Property. (Proffered
Condition 3. m-z)
There is an existing structure located on the northernmost portion of the request property.
In response to neighborhood concerns, the applicants have agreed to demolish this
structure prior to or in conjunction with the issuance of the first building permit on the
property. (Proffered Condition 10)
The applicants have agreed to submit site plans to the Planning Commission for review and
approval. (Proffered Condition 16)
In conjunction with this request the applicants have agreed that all signage will comply
with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance except as further restricted by Proffered
Condition 15 and that Development Standards Waivers nor Variances from signage
requirements would alter this condition (Proffered Condition 15). Freestanding, reader
boards, windows and neon signs, as well as sign setbacks have also been restricted by
proffered conditions. Also, Proffered Condition 15 requires that all freestanding signs,
except the project identification sign, comply with Village standards.
12
98SN0153/WP/APR22K
Public Address (Intercom) Systems:
A Conditional Use has been requested to allow intercom type systems as accessory to
permitted uses (Proffered Condition 3.c.). The proffer is consistent with the recently
adopted Ordinance Amendment regarding such systems.
Construction of Uses:
The applicants have submitted a proffered condition which would require the issuance of
certificates of completion for a building located with 300 feet of the property line along
Robious Road on Parcel B and a building on ParCel C prior to the issuance of a f'mal
certificate of occupancy for any use exception permitted on Parcel A (Proffered Condition
4). A certificate of completion requires the exterior of the structure to be completed, but
not the interior. At such time that the interior of the building is completed, individual
tenants then seek Certificates of Occupancy. The proffered condition further states that
any temporary certificate of occupancy granted for a use exception on Parcel A will not
be extended or renewed beyond six (6) months from the date of the initial issuance unless
certificates of completion have been issued for the buildings on Parcels B and C, as
discussed herein. The intent of this proffer is to have buildings in place adjacent to
residential development prior to the of a final certificate of occupancy for any commercial
uses on Parcel A. In addition, this condition attempts to preclude indefinite extensions of
temporary certificates of occupancy for any commercial uses on Parcel A. This proffer
would allow a temporary certificate of occupancy to be issued for a commercial use on
Parcel A prior to the issuance of certificates of completion for uses on Parcels B and C.
The Building Inspector's Office has indicated that once a temporary certificate of
occupancy has been granted, it would be extremely difficult to revoke or not extend the
certificate unless there are health, safety or welfare problemS, even though the condition
would indicate that a certificate of completion on ParCels B and C would need to be issued
within six (6) months of the certificate of occupanCy on Parcel A. Staff recommends that
should the Commission and Board wish to approve this request, the proffer should be
modified to require certificates of completion on Parcels B and C prior to the issuance of
ally certificate of occupancy for any use exception.
HQurs of Operation:
The applicants have agreed to limit the hours that any use located on Parcel A can be open
to the public (Proffered Condition 11). The prOffer further restricts the times of loading
deliveries, solid waste servicing and Sunday deliveries.
13 98SN0153/WP/APR22K
In addition to Ordinance requirements relative to foot candle limitations at the property
line, the applicants have proffered that any freestanding lighting fixtures located on the
Property would not exceed twenty (20) feet in height. (Proffered Condition 12)
Architectural Treatment:
Within Post Development Areas, no building exterior which would be visible to public
rights of way can be constructed of unadorned concrete, block or corrugated and/or sheet
metal. Mechanical equipment, whether ground-level or rooftop, must be shielded and
screened from public rights of way. Redevelopment of the site or new construction must
adhere to Post Development requirements. In addition to the above requirements, the
applicants have agreed that all buildings on the Property shall be Colonial or Victorian in
style and be compatible in architectural treatment, colors and material. (Proffered
Condition 14)
The applicants have agreed to limit the size of any drug store/pharmacy or bank and
savings and loan association on Parcel A to 11,000 gross square feet (~offered Condition
3. ii.). Further, the applicants have agreed that all buildings will be limited to a height of
one and one-half stories or twenty-eight (28) feet, whichever is less. (Proffered Condition
14)
Buffers & Screening:
The Development Standards Manual requires that solid waste storage areas (i.e.,
dumpsters, garbage cans, trash compactors, etc.) be screened from view of adjacent
property and public rights of way by a solid fence, Wall, dense evergreen plantings or
architectural feature, be separated from any residentially zoned property or any property
being used for residential purposes by the principal building, and that such area within
1,000 feet of any residentially zoned property or property used for residential purposes
not be serviced between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. It should be noted that the
applicants have agreed to a further limitation that solid waste storage areas would not be
serviced between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (Proffered Condition 11). In
addition, sites must be designed and buildings oriented so that loading areas are screened
from any property where loading areas are prohibited and from public rights of way.
Adjacent property to the north and west is zoned Residential (R-7) and is occupied by
single family residences. The Development Standards Manual requires a minimum fifty
(50) foot buffer along the northern, western and a portion of the southern property
boundaries of the request site. The applicants have further agreed to increase the buffer
along the northern property boundary to seventy-five (75) feet. (Proffered Condition 13)
14
98SN0153/WP/APR22K
At the time of site plan review, the Planning Commission may modify this buffer under
certain circumstances. In addition, should adjacent residential property be zoned or
utilized for a non-residential use in the future the buffer can be further reduced or
eliminated. The applicants have also agreed to provide a fence within this required buffer
0~roffered Condition 13). The proffer would eliminate the need for a fence should adjacent
property be zoned or utilized for a non-residential use.
CONCLUSIONS
The Northern Area Land Use and Transportation Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
office use. While the 0-2 zoning conforms with the Plan the requested commemial use exceptions
do not. Further, as currently styled, the Proffered Conditions do not provide sufficient guarantees
relative to transition.
Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request.

Mr. Shewmake indicated that the proffered conditions require that transitional uses be
located on the northern and western portions of the property, thereby addressing the spirit
and intent of the adopted Plan with respect to the office land use designation. He further
stated that many of the proffers were offered to respond to residents' concerns. Mr.
Shewmake suggested imposition of a condition which would grant the Conditional Use
aspect only so long as the transitional uses have received at least a certificate of
completion.
On motion of Mr. Shewmake, seconded by Mr. Marsh, the Commission recommended
approval of this request subject to the condition on page 2 and acceptance of the proffered
conditions on pages 2 through 8.

98SN0153 (Amended)
In Midlothian Magisterial District, T & N DEVELOPMENT, L. L.
C. AND DOROTHY BROWN requested rezoning and amendment of
zoning district map from Residential (R-7) and Corporate
Office (0-2) to Corporate Office (0-2) with Conditional Use to
permit a drug store/pharmacy and banks and savings and loan
associations with or without a drive-through window and to
permit outside intercom systems. Office and commercial uses
are planned. The density of such amendment will be controlled
by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
office use. This request lies on 6.2 acres fronting
approximately 350 feet on the north line of Robious Road, also
fronting approximately 690 feet on Old Bon Air Road and
located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of these
roads. GPIN 749-709-1085 and 2781 and 749-710-3129 (Sheet 8).
Mr. Poole presented a summary of Case 98SN0153 and stated that
the Planning Commission recommends approval, subject to one
condition and acceptance of the proffered conditions and that
staff had recommended denial. He stated that an addendum was
received by the applicant today that would modify Proffered
Condition 13, as recommended by the Planning Commission. He
further stated that if the Board wishes to consider the
amended proffered condition, it will have to suspend its rules
at this time. He noted that the Northern Area Land Use and
Transportation Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
office use.
Ms. Gloria Frye, representing the applicant, stated that the
recommendation is acceptable. She expressed appreciation to
the neighbors of Bon Air Forest and Settlers Landing and the
congregation at Mount Nebo Church for their efforts in working
with the applicant in addressing any concerns. She also
expressed appreciation to County staff, Mr. Barber, and Mr.
William Shewmake, Midlothian District Planning Commissioner,
for their efforts. She requested the Board suspend its rules
to consider revised Proffered Condition 13.
Mr. Richard Cook, a resident of Bon Air Forest, stated that
originally the area communities had been opposed to the
request, however, with the proposed proffers, Bon Air Forest
and Settlers Landing Subdivisions are now supporting the
request. He stated that he also personally supports the
request.
On motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. McHale, the Board
suspended its rules at this time to consider the following
revised proffered condition:
13.
Buffers. A 75' buffer shall be provided along the
northern boundary of Parcel D except where encroachments
are necessary for easements running perpendicular to the
buffer.
A six (6) foot high fence shall be provided and
maintained within the required buffer along the western
boundary of Parcel B adjacent to GPIN 749-710-1111 (the
~Brown parcel"), the northern boundary of Parcel D
adjacent to GPIN number 749-710-4345 (the ~Winston
parcel"), and the western and southern boundaries of
Parcel D adjacent to Bon Air Forest and GPIN 749-710-0114
and 749-710-1111. The exact treatment of this fence
shall be approved at site plan review. Landscaping shall
be provided on both sides of the fence. The fence and
landscaping may be breached to accommodate the access
easement referenced in Proffer 6 above. In addition,
such fence and landscaping may be removed along the
western boundary of Parcel B adjacent to GPIN 749-710-
1111 if and when GPIN 749-710-1111 is no longer used for
residential purposes. Plans depicting these requirements
shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review
and approval in conjunction with site plan submittal.

None.
Mr. Barber briefly reviewed the revised Proffered Condition
and stated that the buffer is located directly across from
Mount Nebo Church and extends to the eastern boundary of Bon
Air Forest Subdivision. He further stated that he feels new
ground has been broken in zoning requests in the County. He
expressed appreciation to the citizens for their input and to
Mr. Shewmake for his tremendous efforts, specifically, for
suggesting that office uses be constructed simultaneously with
the retail uses on the site.
Mr. Barber then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the
Board to approve Case 98SN0153, subject to the following
condition:
The Conditional Use for a drug store/pharmacy, banks and
savings and loan associates, with or without a drive-
through window and public address (outside intercom)
systems shall be granted for as long as Proffered
