RE: ZMA201900012 Hollymead Corner; 2°d Submittal
Dear Mr. Myers:
Staff has reviewed the second submittal for the zoning map amendment, ZMA201900012, Hollymead Corner. We have a
number of questions and comments which we believe should be addressed before we can recommend favorably on your
ZMA request. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues.
Review comments are provided below, organized by Department, Division, or agency. Our comments are provided below.
Comments grayed out are the original comments. Comments in bold are the follow-up comments based on this second
review.
Planning — General Application Comments
1. Provide a copy of the shared parking agreement with the hotel that is mentioned in the parking reduction request.
Prior to final site plan approval, a shared parking agreement will be required reflecting the conditions as
proposed on the site by the final site plan, taking into account the ultimate square footage of the building,
the uses, and the required number of parking spaces based on the final design as shown on the final site
plan. See Zoning comments (attached) for more information.
2. Revise the Ordinance Tabulations table on the cover sheet of the application plan to identify the overlay district as
Managed Steep Slopes. Comment addressed.
3. In the project narrative, include information on the impacts this project may have on the public facilities and
infrastructure, including the police and fire departments. Comment addressed.
4. Please be advised that the Code of Development (COD) may need to be further revised to reflect the changes
proposed in ZMA2017-00005, a rezoning request that is also currently under review by the County. This project
has been considered by the Planning Commission; however, there has not yet been a public hearing before the
Board of Supervisors. If that rezoning is approved prior to any approval of this request, this request will need to
revise documents to reflect that approval. This rezoning (ZMA2019-00012) will need to be updated to reflect
what was approved with ZMA2017-00005, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January
15, 2020. Documents including the Code of Development, the proffer statement, and the application plan
will need to be updated. The documents approved with ZMA2017-00005 will be forwarded to you in a
separate package for your use and reference.
5. Include the application file number, ZMA2019-00012, on the cover sheet of the COD, and identify it as a further
revision of the COD, previously revised by ZMA2013-00004. Because ZMA2017-00005 was approved by the
Board on January 15'", this application will need to be revised to incorporate that approval. A copy of the
new regulating COD will be provided to you for the required updates. A potential new name for the COD
is "Revised Application Booklet for Code of Development ZMA2019-00012, A Revision to ZMA2017-00005,
Previously Revised from ZMA2013-00004, Originally Revised from ZMA01-20-2001(Area C) "At
Hollymead Town Center." In addition, Block 1 on sheets 3 and 4 of the revised COD should be revised to
be outlined instead. The Uses Table on sheet 27 should be revised with the proposed new square footage
amounts, taking into account what was approved with ZMA2017-00005. Finally, any other portions of the
COD that are proposed to be revised with ZMA2019-00012 need to be revised as well.
6. On sheets 3 and 4 of the COD, include a note similar to the one provided for ZMA2013-00004 at Block VI,
regarding these proposed revisions to Block 1. See comment #5 above for more information.
7. There are several revisions to be made to page 23 of the COD, the Uses Table, Table A:
a. Include the max. non-residential total for Block 11, which is 58,000 square feet.
b. The Not to Exceed maximum non-residential square footage total should also be increased by 25,000 sq.
ft. to 300,000 sq. ft., to match the increase that is being proposed for Block 1.
c. This table may need to be further revised depending on the outcome of ZMA2017-00005.
Revise the table now using the new numbers provided for in the approved Code of Development
from ZMA2017-00005, which was approved by the Board on January 15t", as this is now the
regulating COD for Hollymead Area C. See comment #5 above for more information.
8. The proposed maximum in the COD for Block I is 92,000 square feet. However, it identified as only 90,196 sq. ft.
on the cover sheet of the application plan. Please revise so that the two documents match. Please also be advised
that there will be nearly 2,000 square feet of additional space available if the request is for 92,000 sq. ft. overall,
and the totals as provided on the cover sheet are at 90,196 sq. ft. This additional square footage should be
reflected on the application plan. The square footage for the hotel does not match between the cover sheet
and sheet 3 on the concept plan.
9. Block I has a maximum retail square footage of 55,000 sq. ft. Include this information on the cover sheet of the
application plan as well, and include the amount used and available. This information does not appear to be on
the cover sheet. Include this information. However, please be aware that it has been determined by the
Zoning Division that a revised application plan is not necessary for this rezoning (see comment #2 in the
Zoning comments). However, if the applicant would like to include the submitted plan as a concept plan,
this information should be provided.
10. This application plan may need to be further revised depending on the outcome of ZMA2017-00005. ZMA2017-
00005 has been approved, on January 15, 2020, which includes the most recently updated application plan.
Due to the changes proposed with this rezoning application, it is not necessary for further reivisions to the
application (see Zoning comment memo); instead, the application plan for ZMA2017-00005 will also apply
to this application (the application plan for Block I will not change and will still look the same as the
original.
11. Provide a copy of the proffers revised to show this proposed rezoning. The COD was proffered with ZMA2001-
00020, and revising the COD will require a revision to the proffers. In addition, like the other documents, the
proffers may need to be further revised depending on the outcome of ZMA2017-00012. ZMA2017-00005 was
approved by the Board on January 15, 2020, with revised proffers. These proffers are the ones that will
need to be revised. Staff will send a copy of the most current proffers to be updated. Only proffer #1 will
need to be updated, along with the heading information to reflect the parcels and block being amended.
However, proffers 2-6 will also need to remain within the proffer statement. In addition, all property
owners within Block I will need to sign the proffer statement, as the proffers refer to Block I as a whole, not
to TMP 32-41D6 alone.
The language to be revised in proffer #1 should reflect the amendments to the Code of Development. To
maintain consistency with the existing proffers and the COD, I offer the following suggestion: "...and
appendices set forth in the attached Application Booklet, entitled "Revised Application Booklet for Code of
Development ZMA2019-00012, A Revision to ZMA2017-00005, Previously Revised from ZMA2013-00004,
Originally Revised from ZMA01-20-2001 (Area C) "At Hollymead Town Center," followed by the date(s)
that you revised the COD booklet.
12. Comments and concerns raised at the community meeting held on September 19, 2019, include the following:
a. Parking is often an issue, especially in regard to restaurants, and the shared parking agreement should
reflect this situation. A parking reduction request and a shared parking agreement will be required
at the site plan stage, and these items can be addressed then, once there is a proposed site design
with known uses and number of required spaces. See comment #1 and the Zoning comment memo
for more information.
b. Access to the property can be somewhat limited due to the right -in, right -out intersections. Advisory
comment.
c. With the proposal for ZMA2017-00005, where additional residential units are requested, there was some
concern that additional office space may not be appropriate. Advisory comment.
13. The 2.5' planting strip shown on section C.0 is not sufficient for landscaping. Comment addressed. Full design
of planting strips and other site elements will be addressed at the site plan stage when exact building size,
location, uses, and parking requirements, among others, are known.
14. A note should be placed on sheets 2 and 3 stating that these plans can be changed slightly at the site plan stage, as
these plans should be more conceptual in drawing, and are not site plans. A site plan, meeting all applicable
regulations of the Zoning Ordinance and the COD, will be required for this property. This information does not
appear to be included on sheets 2 and 3. However, following further discussions with the Zoning division,
an amendment to the existing application plan (as approved with ZMA2017-00005) is not required for this
application. A site plan meeting the requirements of the revised COD, as referenced in the revised proffer
statement, along with the existing application plan, will be required if ZMA2019-00012 is approved by the
Board of Supervisors.
15. The GSF of the proposed building shown on sheets 2 and 3 of the application plan may want to accommodate the
additional square footage mentioned in comment #8 above. Comment addressed.
16. A landscaping plan will be required at the time of site plan submittal, and landscaping is not reviewed in detail or
for compliance with the zoning ordinance at this time. Advisory comment acknowledged.
17. The 8' retaining wall near Connor Drive and the parcel entrance may need to be staggered with two walls of 6 feet
or less in height. Comment addressed. Final retaining wall design will be addressed at the site plan stage.
18. There appears to be a large area with missing street trees near the roundabout. Comment addressed. Final
landscape design will be addressed with the landscape plan at the final site plan stage.
19. The area shown for loading and the dumpster does not appear to meet the requirements of 4.12. Comment
acknowledged. Final placement and design for dumpster pad(s), as required in section 4.12.13 will be
addressed at the site plan stage.
20. What is the dumpster-like structure shown in the southwest corner of the site, near the shared entrance with the
hotel parcel? It appears to be two dumpsters right next to each other. Comment acknowledged. Final placement
and design for dumpster pad(s), as required in section 4.12.13 will be addressed at the site plan stage.
21. Are there shared access easements with the other parcels of Block 1, as it appears the entrances cross the property
lines? Comment addressed. Need for any additional access or other required easements will be addressed at
the site plan stage.
22. Is there any open space proposed with this rezoning request? Comment addressed. Compliance with open
space requirements will be addressed at the site plan stage.
23. Please be advised that a site plan and VSMP plan are required for this property. Advisory comment
acknowledged.
Additional Comments from the Second Review of ZMA2019-00012
24. On the cover sheet of the proposed plan (please be advised, however, that it has been determined by the Zoning
division that an amendment to the application plan is not need for this ZMA request, only the proffers and code of
development — see Zoning comment memo for more information):
a. Add "Area C" into the title.
b. Add ZMA2017-00005 to the previous zoning cases list, as that application has now been approved by the
Board.
c. Add ZMA2017-00005 to the Zoning note in the Ordinance Tabulations table.
d. Identify in the Ordinance Tabulations table that the site is also served by public sewer in the jurisdictional
area note.

The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above
noted application(s). Greyed out comments have been addressed see revisions in

the applicant's analysis allowing a reduction of parking up to the 35% per section
4.12.8, 4.12.10 and 4.12.12, and can recommend approval of the reduction
request. For approval of the final site plan a shared parking agreement will be
required to be drawn up and reviewed by staff. If it is deemed acceptable then it
must be recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Please be aware
that if the use changes from the proposed uses for the reduction then additional

are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.
