Re: Stonefield Block C2-1
Special Exception - Building Height
Section 20A.5.i.5 on Page 22 of the Code of Development for Stonefield states that the
maximum number of stories for buildings located within the area designated as Block C shall
have a maximum of 5 stories. We are requesting a special exception from this requirement to
increase the maximum number of stories to 7 to allow for the construction of proposed 112 unit
residential development on Block C2-1. We note that the proposed development will comply
with the maximum building height for residential and mixed -use structures of 90 feet. We offer
the following justification for this request:
The existing Hyatt building and the approved Stonefield D1 building, located on the
opposite side of District Ave., are both 6 stories in height on Bond Street. The Stonefield
D 1 building ranges between 6 and 8 stories along District Ave.
2. The proposed residential building will offer uniformity and compliment the height of the
existing and soon to be construction buildings at the intersection of Bond Street and
District Ave.
3. The total number of floors is necessary to allow for 5 stories of residential units above 2
stories of parking to accommodate the parking requirements.
4. The total number of stories and residential units are necessary to obtain the proper size
for business operational and development purposes.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding this request.
Sincerely,
WW Associates, Inc.

STAFF ANALYSIS
STAFF PERSON: Kevin McCollum, Senior Planner I
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: September 15, 2021
PROJECT: SE202100026 Stonefield Block C2-1— Maximum Stories
TAX MAP PARCELS: 061WO-03-00-019A0
Special exception request to vary the Code of Development approved in conjunction with ZMA200100007.
Proposal
The applicant requests a special exception to vary the Stonefield Code of Development approved in
conjunction with ZMA200100007 to increase the maximum number of stories permitted in Block C from
5 stories to 7. The increase in the number of maximum stories would permit the construction of a new
112-unit residential building on Block C2-1. Section 20A.5.i.5 on Page 22 of the Code of Development
states that the maximum number of stories for buildings located in Block C shall be 5 stories. This request
is for a special exception to increase the maximum number of stories from 5 to 7. The proposed building
contains 112 residential units distributed across 5 stories over 2 stories of parking. The proposed building
would meet the maximum building height of 90 feet for residential and mixed -use structures.
ANALYSIS OF SPRCiAL EXCEPTION REQUEST
Under County Code § 18-33.9(A), requests for special exceptions are reviewed under the criteria from the
applicable section(s) of the Zoning Ordinance. No specific finding is required in support of a decision. Under
County Code § 18-8.5.5.3(b), an applicant may request a variation from its Code of Development. Supporting
factors are listed in County Code § 18-8.5.5.3(c). The applicant's request (Attachment A) addresses these
findings in detail.
Staff offers the following analysis of the proposed variation against these criteria:
(1) Whether the proposed variation would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive
plan;
This special exception request is consistent with many of the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan,
including creating vibrant active places with attractive neighborhoods, high quality design, and mixed -use areas
supported by services, infrastructure, and multi -modal transportation networks.
(2) Whether the proposed variation would increase the approved development density or intensity of
development;
The transferring of residential units from one block to another would have no density or intensity of development
impacts.
(3) Whether the proposed variation would adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any
other development in the zoning district;
This special exception would not have any impact on the timing or phasing of any other development in the
zoning district.
(4) Whether the proposed variation would require a special use permit; and
A special use permit would not be required.
(5) Whether the proposed variation would be in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved
application.
The purpose and intent of the Stonefield Code of Development is a Neighborhood Model District that promotes
flexibility and creativity, establishing the locations of buildings, building types, and uses within the district.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment D) to approve the special
exception request varying the Code of Development to increase the maximum number of stories
permitted in Block C from 5 stories to 7, subject to the following condition:
1. All development must be in accord with the Applicant's Narrative on Stonefield Block C2-1
