PLANNING Staff Contact: Drew Noxon (804-796-7122) noxona@chesterfield.gov Proposal The applicants are requesting conditional use to permit a dwelling unit separate from the principal dwelling on an 83.3-acre lot. The second dwelling would be occupied by a family member in order to provide care for a parent who currently resides in the existing home on the property. The applicants propose to locate the second dwelling unit no closer than 500 feet from any property boundaries (Exhibit A). Exhibit B offers conceptual elevations of the proposed dwelling. The applicants note that the existing dwelling was built between 1790 and 1800. As such, should the existing dwelling require significant renovations in the future, the applicants indicate the proposed second dwelling would afford the family temporary living space during such restoration. The following provides an overview of conditions that would mitigate potential impacts of this use on area properties: Requirements Occupancy Record Notice of Occupancy Limitation General Overview Details Limited to: occupants of principal dwelling; individuals related to them by blood, marriage, adoption or guardianship; foster children; guests; and any domestic help. Condition 1 Deed restriction to be recorded within thirty (30) days. Condition 2 As conditioned, the use should not adversely affect area residential uses. In addition, second dwellings have been approved in other residential areas with no apparent adverse impact. 4 18SN0731-2018APR17-CPC-RPT-C
FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Staff Contact: Anthony Batten (804-717-6167) battena@chesterfield.gov Mission 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. Response Times The proposed development is located in the rural response zone for which Fire & EMS has a goal of responding to at least 90% of the calls for service in under seven (7) minutes. Fire and EMS is currently unable to meet that goal. Nearby Fire/EMS Facilities The Midlothian Fire Station, Company Number 5 Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs Based on an average of 0.17528 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will generate zero (0) annual calls for Fire/EMS services. Additional Fire and EMS Comments 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.
