7 This case has been evaluated under the existing cash proffer policy. It has been determined that the request for amendments to ase 89SN0354 relative to the removal of Proffered ondition 1 and changes to Proffered ondition 5 will result in no increase in the proffered maximum density. Therefore, there is no increased fiscal impact. omprehensive Plan: LN USE Lies within the boundaries of the Upper Swift reek Plan mendment which suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 2.0 units per acre of less and conservation/recreation use. rea evelopment Trends: The area is characterized by residential and agricultural zoning and is occupied by residential use or is vacant. Zoning History: ensity: ezoning of the northern portion of the property (the portion on which the amendment to zoning is requested) from gricultural () to esidential () was approved by the Board of Supervisors, with a recommendation of denial by the Planning ommission, on November 27, onditions limited development to a maximum of 350 lots with a limitation that only 132 of those lots would be permitted on generally the eastern half of the property, required buffers to be maintained along Old Hundred oad and the northern and southern boundaries adjacent to properties zoned gricultural (), and required specific road improvements and use of public utilities. ezoning of the southern portion of the request property from gricultural () to esidential () (ase 03SN0124) was approved by the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the Planning ommission, on January 22, onditions of approval limited development to a maximum of 450 lots and addressed, although not exclusively, minimum lot and house sizes and foundation treatments, and required specific road improvements and use of public utilities. This zoning approval did not include approval of a conditional use to permit community recreational use; therefore, this property is included in the current request seeking approval of a conditional use to permit community recreational use to serve surrounding residential development. With equest II, the applicant seeks approval of a modification to Proffered ondition 5 of ase 89SN0354 to eliminate the limitation on the number of dwelling units that may be located generally on the eastern half of the undeveloped portion of the request property zoned with ase 89SN0354. There are currently 140 lots recorded within the first phase of the Hallsley development. Proffered ondition 1 would limit development of the remainder or undeveloped portion of the property zoned with ase 89SN0354 (Tax 7 10SN BOS-PT

8 Buffers: I ) to 210 units; therefore the maximum density would remain at 350 lots for the entire property zoned with ase 89SN0354. With the approval of this request, the density restriction which permitted only 132 lots on the eastern half of the property would be deleted. The current condition (Proffered ondition 5 of ase 89SN0354) which requires this density restriction was negotiated with owners of adjacent properties who at that time had agricultural zoning. The proffer addressed their concerns relative to preserving lower density development in the eastern half of the Hallsley development. These adjacent properties have subsequently been rezoned to esidential (); therefore, it would be appropriate to eliminate the density restriction on the undeveloped portion of the property zoned with ase 89SN0354. With equest I, the applicant seeks to delete ondition 1 of ase 89SN0354 which requires buffers along Old Hundred oad and along the northern and southern boundaries of the property zoned with that case. This buffer condition was imposed to address concerns of owners of adjacent properties that were zoned gricultural () when this property was originally zoned. Those adjacent properties have subsequently been rezoned to esidential (), therefore, it would be appropriate to delete the buffer requirement. The Subdivision Ordinance would require buffers adjacent to public rights-of-way, such as Old Hundred oad. ecreational Use: The proposed recreational use could include swimming pools, play fields and courts, playgrounds and other recreational uses primarily for use by residents in the adjoining residential developments. Limitations on the use as outlined in Proffered ondition 2 will minimize the impact of these facilities on future residents in the area and are similar to conditions imposed on other projects. ONLUSIONS This request includes three (3) parts. The first part of this request (equest I) is an amendment to zoning (ase 89SN0354) to delete buffer requirements. The second part is a request (equest II) to modify a density restriction on the eastern half of the property. These restrictions were negotiated with owners of area properties that were zoned gricultural () when the property was originally zoned. Since that time, adjacent properties have been rezoned residentially as part of the Hallsley development. It is important to note, that if this request is approved, the maximum density permitted by ase 89SN0354 would not be increased. Therefore, approval of equest I to delete buffer requirements and equest II to eliminate the density restriction on the eastern portion of the property would be appropriate. The third part (equest III) is a request for conditional use to permit community recreational use. The proposed use will provide for neighborhood amenities for area residential development. The proffered condition addresses land use compatibility between the proposed uses and area residential development (Proffered ondition 2). Therefore, approval of equest III to permit community recreational use would be appropriate. 8 10SN BOS-PT
