8 DEVELOPMENT EXCEPTIONS Townhouse uses will be developed in accordance with the Residential Townhouse (R-TH) District development standards, with the exception of buffers and recreational provisions as detailed below: R-TH Development Exceptions (Textual Statement) Community Building & Active Recreation Facilities Buffers, (Adjacent to Residential Zoning & Vacant Agricultural Zoning Designated on Plan for Residential Use) Development Standards Overview Zoning Ordinance Requirement Required 50 Proposed No Community Building Active recreational uses, such as a pool and/or playfields is not guaranteed Textual Statement, Item 1 50, with various locations reduced to 10, 15, 25 and 40 Textual Statement, Item 2 Attachment 5 COMMUNITY BUILDING & ACTIVE RECREATION FACILTIES To balance the reduced lot sizes within townhouse developments, the Ordinance requires provisions for open space and recreational amenities. Recreational areas must include a community building, as well as active and passive recreation facilities. A community building serves as a focal point for residents to congregate in an all-weather facility for activities and typically contains, at a minimum, a meeting room, office, and bathroom. Larger community buildings may also contain gyms, kitchens and dining areas for residents. The applicant s request would delete the requirement to construct a community building as well as provide no guarantee that active recreation facilities, such as a pool or playfield (i.e. tennis court) would be built. Consequently, the only amenities proposed to facilitate community gathering space are a pavilion, benches along trails, and community gardens. Each of these facilities lacks the benefit of being an all-weather facility used year-round by the community s residents. BUFFERS Buffers provide transition and enhance visual separation between differing residential types. While reduced buffers are proposed adjacent to neighboring residential development, the applicant has offered to provide the required quantity of buffer plantings for a fifty (50) foot wide buffer in areas where the buffer width is reduced. As such, impacts resulting from reductions in buffer widths would be offset by planting requirements for a fifty (50) buffers. It should be noted that the applicant has also offered a wooden shadow box fence or picket fence along the thirty-five (35) buffer on Pocoshock Boulevard (Proffered Condition 19, Attachment 3). To reduce maintenance costs and increase durability, staff recommends that both fence options be constructed of vinyl material. 8 16SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

9 ARCHITECTURE Within Residential Townhouse District, architecture for buildings should impart harmonious proportions and avoid monotonous facades or large bulky masses; and provide architectural variety while maintaining an overall cohesive residential character. Conceptual elevations offered by the applicant provide the option for a Craftsman or Colonial-style townhouse building, with a one or two-car front-loaded garage (Attachment 4). As proffered, fifty (50) percent of the buildings in this development would be Craftsman-style, with at least thirty (30) percent of the buildings also being Colonial-style. To provide some variation in design, the applicant has offered an alternative elevation (Elevation 2) of each style that includes dormer windows on one (1) unit of the front elevation. A minimum of forty (40) percent of the townhome buildings must be constructed per the alternative elevation (Proffered Condition 1.b). In addition, no two (2) townhouse buildings adjacent to each other would have identical design elements. Buildings would be required to vary with at least two (2) of the following design elements: Craftsman or Colonial style building Color scheme Garage door detail Dormers Other similar architectural detail (as determined by the Planning Department) No more than 20% of the buildings facing each other may have an identical design Recent revisions to proffered conditions have offered additional variation in unit and building design. These elements include: Covered porch or stoop for all front (primary) entry doors Variation of garage door style between units and a minimum number of garage doors containing windows in each townhouse building Staff notes that the Ordinance will continue to require unit offsets (being a minimum of two (2) or four (4) feet) in each townhouse building. Therefore, these offsets will create unit to unit variation in the roofline, as well as additional offsets visible along the front, side and rear building elevations. As proffered, staff can support the applicant s proposed architectural treatment. WAIVER TO CONNECTIVITY The applicant has proffered to prohibit street connections to the Amber Heights and Forestdale Subdivisions (Proffered Condition 21). Currently two streets, Cheltenham Drive and Lily Drive, stub into the eastern portion of the request properties. In Case 05SN0188, the Board approved a waiver of connectivity to Cheltenham Drive and Lily Drive on the basis of drainage and topography concerns. Staff noted that the higher elevation of the request property and existing drainage issues on Chevelle Drive would be exacerbated if these street connections were made. Adjoining property owners supported and continue to support a waiver to connectivity for these street connections. 9 16SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

10 FINANCIAL IMPACT ON CAPITAL FACILITIES Budget and Management Staff Contact: Natalie Spillman ( ) The need for schools, parks, libraries, fire stations and transportation facilities in this area is identified in the County s adopted Public Facilities Plan, Thoroughfare Plan and Adopted Capital Improvement Program and further detailed by specific departments in the applicable sections of this request analysis. This proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries and fire stations at $23,418 per unit. On July 27, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved zoning case 05SN0188 to rezone the requested property from Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-7) to Residential Townhouse (R-TH) with Conditional Use Planned Development, with a density of approximately 128 dwelling units. At the time the maximum cash proffer in place was $6,017 per dwelling unit; the case was approved with a cash proffer of $5,991 per unit. The current amount for that cash proffer has escalated to $9,542 per unit. In this case, the applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Residential Townhouse (R- TH) to Residential Townhouse (R-TH) with conditional use planned development (CUPD) to permit ordinance exceptions. The applicant has proffered a maximum density of 128 dwelling units, as well as a condition for all dwelling units to be restricted to housing for older persons and no one under 19 years of age shall reside therein. To address the impact of this development on capital facilities, the applicant has proffered $11,152 per dwelling unit, to be allocated pro rata among all categories except schools. Traditionally, cash proffers would remain unchanged for a period of four years after which they would be escalated by the cumulative change in the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index, a provision recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors. However, in this case the applicant has requested that the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index adjustment not cause the cash proffer payment to exceed the amount of the maximum cash proffer policy in effect at the time of payment, less the schools component. This request deviates from the cash proffer policy regarding the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index adjustment. In recent years, the Board of Supervisors has approved zoning cases without a cash proffer for schools when the applicant has proffered an age-restricted community. The applicant has proffered all dwelling units to be restricted to housing for older persons, and likewise, the applicant has not proffered cash to be allocated to schools. The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, through their consideration of this request, may determine that there are unique circumstances relative to this request that may justify acceptance of proffers as offered for this case SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

12 PUBLIC FACILITIES FIRE SERVICE Staff Contact: Anthony Batten ( ) The mission of Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is to protect life, property and the environment through a comprehensive fire and life safety program that ensures an adequate and timely response to emergencies. The Public Facilities Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan, indicates: 1 With the aging of population, medical emergency incidents are expected to increase faster than the rate of population growth over time. 1 The financial impact of residential development on fire facilities is addressed in the Financial Impact on Capital Facilities section of the report. Additional Information: County-wide Fire & EMS Service Information & Needs Recommendations for Fire Stations by 2022 New 5 Replacement/Revitalization Incidents as a percent of total 1 Fire 24% EMS (Emergency Medical Services) 76% Fire/EMS Increases in Call Volume from 2001 and % County Population Increase from 2001 to % Fire Service - Project Impacts Estimated Number of Calls for Service Annually Applicant s Proposal to Address Impacts 1 Amount offered in accordance with Policy.

When the property is developed, the number of hydrants, quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated during the plans review process SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

13 PARKS AND RECREATION Staff Contact: Brian Geouge ( ) The County supports a high-quality park system to provide residents and visitors with equitable access to active and passive recreation opportunities. The Public Facilities Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan, indicates: County-wide Parks and Recreation Needs Park Type Number of New Parks Aggregate Acreage Regional Community Neighborhood Special Purpose Urban Linear The Public Facilities Plan notes facility recommendations for water-based parks. All other facilities are acquired and developed on a site-by-site basis. 2 Facilities are recommended in urban areas where there is limited acreage available for park development. 3 Facility needs are assessed on a site-by-site basis as recommended in the Public Facilities Plan County Level of Service Target Level of Service Applicant s Proposal to Address Impacts 1 1 The financial impact of residential development on parks facilities is addressed in the Financial Impact on Capital Facilities section of the report.

14 LIBRARIES Staff Contact: Jennifer Stevens ( ) The public library system s role in the county has expanded beyond its traditional function as a resource for information and materials, and now serves as a community gathering place for educational, cultural and informational services; community support during emergencies; economic development; and revitalization activities. The Public Facilities Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan, indicates: Facility Action Expand or Replace Construction of New Facilities County-wide Library Needs County-wide Facility Needs 5 Libraries 5 Libraries 1 Community Arts Center Libraries - Project Impacts 2011 County Level of Service 0.45 square feet of library space per person Standard Level of Service 0.82 square feet of library space per person Applicant s Proposal to Amount offered in accordance with Policy.

15 SCHOOLS Staff Contact: Atonja Allen ( ) High performing, high quality public schools contribute to the quality of life and economic vitality of the County. The Comprehensive Plan suggests a greater focus should be placed on linking schools with communities by providing greater access, flexible designs and locations that better meet the needs of the communities in which they are located. The Public Facilities Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan, indicates: County-wide School Needs School Types Facilities to Revitalize/Replace New Facilities Elementary 16 3 Middle 6 2 High 2 3 Technical - 1 Average Student Yield Applicant s Proposal to Address Impacts 1 Schools - Project Impacts Elementary 27 Middle 14 High 20 Total 61 Not offered in accordance with Policy Proffered Condition 6 1 The financial impact of residential development on school facilities is addressed in the Financial Impact on Capital Facilities section of the report. Additional Information: While 128 age-restricted dwelling units are proposed, based on the cash proffer methodology this development would yield 61 new students. After review of this request, based on current school assignments and student enrollment the proposed rezoning case will have an impact on schools. It is possible that over time this case, combined with other tentative residential developments and other zoning cases in the area will continue to push schools to their capacity and therefore impact the capacity of facilities division-wide. The approved School Board Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan for FY2016-FY2022 includes the construction of a new elementary school in the Midlothian area and revitalization or replacement of ten existing schools. These ten facilities are Providence Middle School, Monacan High School, Manchester Middle School, Beulah Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Matoaca Elementary School, Harrowgate Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, and Ettrick Elementary School. Additional information on the CIP can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted Budget for FY SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

16 COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Jim Banks (804) The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Thoroughfare Plan, identifies county-wide transportation needs that are expected to mitigate traffic impacts of future growth.

18 WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS Staff Contact: Jamie Bland ( ) The proposal s impacts on the County s utility system are detailed in the chart below: Water and Wastewater Systems Currently Size of Existing Line Connection Required by County Code? Serviced? Water No 12, 8 & 6 Yes Wastewater No 8 Yes Map 5: Existing Water & Wastewater Systems 18 16SN JUL19-CPC-RPT

19 Additional Information: Property is located in the mandatory water and wastewater connection area. There is an existing twelve (12) inch water line extending along both Elkhardt Road and Pocoshock Boulevard, adjacent to this site. In addition a twelve (12) inch water line extends along portions of Cheltenham Drive and a six (6) inch water line extends along Lilly Drive. Both of these water lines terminate adjacent to the eastern boundary of the request site. Per Chesterfield County s Water and Sewer Specifications and Procedures, subdivisions with more the twenty-five (25) lots shall provide with two (2) supply points to the public water system. There is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector line in a portion of Pocoshock Boulevard that terminates adjacent to the southern boundary of this site. In addition an eight (8) inch wastewater collector line extends along a portion of Cheltenham Drive and terminates approximately 100 feet east of the request site. During subdivision plan review the engineer will need to ensure that sewer lines are designed to be deep enough and with appropriate easements to provide future sewer service to homes adjacent to the subdivision that are currently on septic systems. ENVIRONMENTAL Drainage, Erosion and Water Quality Staff Contact: Rebeccah Ward ( ) WardR@chesterfield.gov Issue Geography Drainage Stormwater Discussion/Conditions Located within the Falling Creek watershed. Property drains east through the Amber Heights subdivision, then through tributaries to the Foresetdale subdivision and under Turner Road to Pocoshock Creek. Culverts under Chevelle Drive and the drainage ditches leading to the culverts from the property are inadequate. Development will require onsite retention/detention to prevent downstream flooding. Drainage system shall be designed in a manner that water shall be retained onsite and released at such a rate that: a. the manmade conveyance channels to Chevelle Drive are capable of containing a 10-year storm; b. the existing culverts beneath Chevelle Drive shall function in compliance with the current VDOT criteria for culverts under secondary roads; c. the 100-year storm shall not come within twenty-five (25) feet of any existing home located along Chevelle Drive; and d. no impervious areas shall sheet flow through Amber Heights.

20 REVITALIZATION Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt ( ) The subject site is located in the Eastern Midlothian Turnpike Special Focus and Gateway Revitalization Area, as denoted by Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Providence Middle School revitalization area identified as part of the county s school-based revitalization efforts. The Revitalization Office supports development in revitalization areas that represents a substantial improvement above current conditions. This analysis examined the proposed development and proffered conditions, with existing contiguous area development conditions in the Surreywood North, Amber Heights, Forestdale, and Elkhardt Heights subdivisions. The proposed development would generally exceed development standards of nearby development in terms: common area, paved driveways, garages, sidewalks, roofing materials, building color, fences, and front porches / stoops. The proposed development would generally equal the development standards of nearby development in terms of: chimneys, foundation materials, landscaping, street trees, roof form, and building repetition. Upon further review, staff determined that prior concerns regarding large, undifferentiated, and monotonous roof forms would be satisfactorily addressed by zoning standards for R-TH development (i.e., C), and therefore would not be a matter for a proffered condition. Specifically, the Zoning Ordinance requires variation of front yard setbacks of townhouse units, and this would carry through to the roof form, resulting in a variation of roof lines. Proffered condition 9.a allows use of four different siding materials, including vinyl siding (excluding Dutch lap style siding). While surrounding development includes a variety of siding materials (predominately brick and lap-style siding of various composition), it should be noted that many contiguous housing units are brick. On balance, the proposed zoning request would result in a substantial improvement above current conditions. Therefore, the Revitalization Office supports the proposal as presented SN JUL19-CPC-RPT
