The applicant indicates that the additional units will be developed as a forth (4 th ) floor on three (3) buildings remaining to be built within the project. General Overview Requirement Existing Zoning Current Proposal Maximum of 275 apartments Maximum of 340 apartments yielding a density of yielding a density of approximately units per approximately units per Density acre acre Maximum of 16 units per floor Maximum of 16 units per floor Textual Statement Section II Item I Proffered Condition Development History and Additional Apartment Units While the (Northern) Jefferson Davis Highway Corridor Plan suggests the property is appropriate for commercial use, zoning to permit the development was approved in 2008 with anticipation of 5 15SN NOV19-BOS-RPT

9 the positive influence the development, proposed as a mixed use development with apartments, over-shop housing and commercial uses, may have to encourage reinvestment in the Jefferson Davis Corridor. The development was approved with an architectural style and materials similar to Chester Village Green. In addition, consideration was given to the improvement the development would provide over the previous manufactured home park use on the property. Occupancy permits for buildings within development were first issued in December The attention to architectural detailing and quality materials on building facades is evident, as anticipated with the conditions of the 2008 zoning approval. Any new buildings must provide this same level of detail and quality, as they are required to be compatible with existing buildings. The applicant has indicated that there are currently no commercial uses within the development. With the increased number of apartments, staff continues to believe a mix of commercial uses with the apartments is important to ensure supporting commercial uses are available for sustainable multi-family development. The automobile-oriented, general commercial and light industrial uses existing on properties surrounding the development do not offer these commercial service uses. Condition 6 of Case 07SN0292, which would remain in effect if this request is approved, is intended to offer the mix of residential and commercial uses within the development. However, this condition only requires a building permit be issued for commercial space, not occupancy of the space by a commercial use. In addition, the reservation for eighteen (18) months of half of the first floor of the portion of any building fronting or oriented towards Jefferson Davis Highway and located within 120 feet of the ultimate right of way of the highway is not an assurance that the development will be mixed use. Given the approved plans and existing development design, this condition would offer this reservation in one (1) of the proposed additional apartment buildings (10501 Colony Village Way as shown on Attachment 2). Staff suggests that a mix of uses should be guaranteed. Integration Colony Village has been developed as a gated multi-family residential development. While attention has been given to a pedestrian scale design and pedestrian areas within the development, there is no integration of the development with surrounding properties or public rights of way. This interconnectivity is important as efforts should be made such that this development, proposed as a spark for revitalization efforts in the area, will be part of, not isolated from, the community. At a minimum, the developer should agree to provide a sidewalk along Jefferson Davis Highway where the development fronts. 6 15SN NOV19-BOS-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 $21,261 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of $18,966 per unit would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed development. The applicant has not proffered conditions to adequately address the impact of the request on capital facilities. The applicant has requested amendments to case 07SN0292 that would increase the density approved in the original case by 65 units; the original case allowed 275 multi-family units and the new request is for a total of 340 units. The Board s cash proffer policy allows the County to assess the impact of all dwelling units in previously approved zoning cases that come back before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors using the calculated capital facility costs in effect at the time the case is reconsidered. As such, staff has evaluated the impact of 178 units (comprised of those units permissible, but not yet built, under the terms of 07SN0292 and the 65 additional requested units). Recognizing the importance of revitalizing older communities and characteristics of successful multifamily development, staff has evaluated this request within the parameters of the Board of Supervisor s cash proffer policy allowing for flexibility to consider unique circumstances about a proposed development. The policy notes that after the Board s review of the case, the Board could consider approval of this request with a reduced cash proffer, as was done when approving case 07SN0292 without a cash proffer. At the time Case 07SN0292 was approved, the applicant maintained that the proposed development, now commonly known as Colony Village, would serve as a catalyst for the revitalization of other areas along Jefferson Davis Highway, north of Route 288. The work completed on the existing project is an improvement over the previous conditions. The blighted structures have been removed and are now being replaced with apartments where existing assessed values are approximately 5 percent (approximately $4,000) above the countywide average for multi-family development. It is however, premature to gauge if this project is a catalyst for additional area improvements or revitalization as the existing units have only recently opened in 2013 and SN NOV19-BOS-RPT

11 Case 07SN0292 was approved with a provision requiring a portion of the first floor space in certain buildings to be occupied with Community Business C-3 uses, thus allowing for a mix of uses on the same site. However, the provision further allowed for the C-3 space to convert to residential multi-family uses within 18 months of obtaining the first certificate of occupancy for a dwelling unit. That 18 month window before all residential uses could occupy the space is set to expire in approximately six months. The applicant has not proffered any modification to that condition that would extend this period of time or guarantee commercial use with this current case. The mixed use design element, whether as part of the existing property or through connections to a mixture of uses on adjacent/nearby properties is another factor that contributes favorably to the success of multi-family projects. With the expiration of the mixed use component on this property after the eighteen (18) month period, this development becomes further isolated from area community uses as there are no provisions for sidewalks along the property frontage thereby interrupting pedestrian access to adjacent or nearby sites that could provide ancillary services in the future. The estimated student generation rates at this property are approximately one-fifth of the overall countywide average however there is no restriction on the allowable number of bedrooms for any of the units. While the project is an improvement over the property conditions it replaced, it fails to adequately address its impacts on capital facilities. The incremental assessed value in the dwelling units is inadequate to offset the impact on capital facilities through increased real estate taxes paid over a 20 year period. Further, the incremental assessed value of commercial development in the area deemed to be a spin-off of this development would need to be approximately $17.5 million, to offset over a 20 year period the requested $3.3 million reduction in cash proffers associated with 178 units; if evaluated on the additional 65 units alone, the incremental assessed value of such commercial development would need to be $6.4 million to offset the requested $1.2 million reduction in cash proffers. Circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed, and staff feels that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer of $18,966 for each dwelling unit in this case.

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.

15 SCHOOLS Staff Contact: Dr. Cynthia O. Richardson ( ) 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 37 Middle 20 High 27 Total 84 Not Offered in Accordance with Policy 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 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 these schools to their capacity and therefore impact the capacity of facilities division-wide.
