This request will permit further expansion of Sycamore Square Shopping Center through restricted Planned Development. GENERAL LOCATION AND TAX MAP IDENTIFICATION: The parcel in question fronts Midlothian Turnpike west and north of the intersection of Midlothian Turnpike and Coalfield Road. Approval of the request would allow for further development of the Shopping Center north and west of existing development. ACREAGE, EXISTING ZONING, EXISTING LAND USE (SUBJECT PARCEL): The request parcel contains approximately 3 acres. It is presently zoned Residential (R-T) and remains vacant and partially wooded. ADJACENT AND AREA ZONING AND LAND USE: Adjacent property to the north and west is zoned Residential (R-7) and either remains vacant or is occupied by individual single family dwellings. UTILITIES, SOIL PROFILE, DRAINAGE AND EROSION AND REQUIRED 0FF-SIT,; EASEMENTS: Public water and sewer will be required in the development of this project, normal erosion control measures are anticipated relative to the proposed use. PUBLIC FACILITIES: Continued development of the shopping center in the manner proposed and accomplished will have no adverse, impact on either existing or future area public facilities. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: The Master Site plan presented with the app±ication indicates a reasonable and substantial development plan accommodating good vehicular access for the proposed use while at the same time minimizing detrimental impact to existing and planned area roads. Specifically, the plan indicates that an unnamed (and undeveloped) road paralleling and west of Crowder Drive be realigned so as to affect a better intersection with Midlothian Turnpike. This road will be constructed as a public road and extend from Midlothian to Westfield Drive. The shopping center development will take advantage of frontage along both sides of this road. However, access'will be controlled so as to permit a minimal number of intersecting points along the road. GENERAL PLAN: Commercial development for the area encompassing the parcel in question. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The applicant has indicated by Declaration of Intent and the master plan presented with the application that the parcels in question will be developed in the same manner as the existing Sycamore Square project. Past performance in the development of this center has established that the preformance in standards not only serve to promote compatible land use but provides an example for desirable deve- lopment in the Midlothian Community. The scope and styling of the proposed shopping center addition is in keeping with what has been developed to date. In this specific case the applicant (over) is requesting an exception to the front setback requirement (50 ft.) on Midlothian Turnpike. The exception would allow for a portion of the parcel within the setback to be developed along Midlothian frontage. Planning Staff is of the opinion that such an exception would be acceptable in the context noted on the Master Plan presented with the application. CASE HISTORY AND PAST COMMISSION AND BOARD ACTION FOR THIS REQUEST C.P.C. 11 18 75: Recommended approval of the request, subject to the imposition of the following conditions: 1. An exception to the bulk requirement regulating the front setback from Midlothian Turnpike shall be approved, subject to such an exception occurring in a manner similar to that reflected on the Master Site Plan presented with the appli- cation. 2. This Conditional Use for Planned Development shall be subject to all previous conditions imposed in the approval of previous- ly granted Conditional Use for Planned Development for Sycamore Square Shopping Center. -2- '\\\ \ / / M~ SYCAMORf sQUARE B-/ iai .I lllllllll 75S215 R-7 to Sheet !~P.
