WOODNON STORCH REZONING
REZONING FROM R-6 TO HCS WITH PROFFERS
TMP 112,112E
Narrative
1. PROJECT PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to rezone Tax Map Parcels 45-112 and 45-112E consisting of
approximately 4.428 acres from R-6 Residential to HCS Commercial. While several
third parties have indicated some interest in portions of the property in the past, the
lack of appropriate zoning has been a consistent obstacle to sale and development of
the property. The owners are not proposing a specific use or site plan in conjunction
with this application.
2. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The County has chosen to direct future development in the Development Areas in order
to lessen development pressures in the rural areas. Berkmar Drive is central to the
Places 29 South commercial development area. Previous versions of the
Formatted: Superscript
Comprehensive Plan have consistently identified this area for regional service
commercial development.
The Subject Properties are designated in the Comprehensive Plan for commercial use —
office, R&D, flex, light industrial. The property is surrounded on the North, East and
South by commercial uses zoned either HC or C-1. Because there is no single zoning
district for the uses contemplated by the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant is
requesting HCS zoning, as it is most consistent with the Master Plan designation and
the znning of vlrrnunding nrnnPrtias_

3. IMPACTS ON PUBLIC FACILITIES & PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
a. Water & Sewer—The Subject Properties are within the ACSA jurisdictional area
for both water and sewer. Based on prior analysis of utilities conducted during
the 2008 rezoning effort for these properties, water and sewer capacity are
adequate to serve the allowable HCC -4 uses on the property. Water lines are
located on Berkmar Drive and along the northern boundary of the Subject
Properties. Sewer is currently available on the Kegler's property, just east of the
Subject Properties. The property owner to the South of the Subject Properties
has purchased and easement on the Kegler's property and plans to extend sewer
to rear of his property as part of a commercial development project that has
already been reviewed by the County. If the sewer extension is completed,
sewer service will be available at the Southeastern corner of the Wood property.

b. Traffic- The Subject Properties both have frontage on Berkmar Drive. In
addition, TMP 112 has a 40 foot" deeded right of way from the northeastern
corner of the property to Rte. 29. Future development on the properties
utilizing existing R-6 zoning would generate approximately 239 vehicle trips per
day. Under proposed C-1 zoning, without structured parking, we estimate that a
total of 50,000 square feet of commercial space can be built assuming an FAR of
.25. In 2008, when the property was being rezoned as part of the Berkmar
Business Park plan, Fitzgerald Halliday, Inc. projected total traffic generation for
the Subject Properties of approximately 740 cars per day. These numbers
assumed 46,328 sf of office and 3,520 sf of specialty retail. We believe the
actual development of the properties will include much larger flex, warehouse,
service and storage areas which generate far less traffic than the 2008 study
would suggest.
C.
ve is currently designated as a parallel service corridor to Rte 29 that will extend
from Rio Road to Hollymead Town Center. The existing roadway is 3 lanes in the
vicinity of the Subject Properties. While the Places 29 Masterplan calls for a 4
lane road with median, this will not be feasible on TMP 112E without relocation
of a preexisting cemetery. We attempted to move this cemetery in 2008 during
the last rezoning effort and were not able to identify or contact all potential
descendants who would need to approve such relocation. Consequently,
eenneetien %vith thus applie,*i^^ Nonetheless, the Applicant will reserve an an
area on the Properties within 44 feet of the centerline of the Berkmar Drive
right-of-way for dedication to the County for future expansion of Berkmar Drive.
We do anticipate that a right turn lane extension may be required on one or
both properties as part of a future site plan and these improvements would be
located within the 44 foot reserved area. -
d. Storm Water Management Facilities- The Subject Properties' storm water
currently runs into a regional storm water management basin just south of
Kegler's. The pond was constructed in 1987 to accommodate all stormwater
runoff from Kegler's, Lowes and the properties behind Keglers. Attachment SK -1
shows modifications to the Kegler's SWM facility that were proposed in
connection with the Berkmar Business Park development. It also clearly showed
that the pond can accommodate storm water quantities contemplated by
intensive commercial development on these properties. The applicant
acknowledges that storm water quality measures will still need to be provided
on-site or credits will need to be purchased to offset the impacts of
development Formatted: Font: Bold, Underline
e. Parking— Parking on the subject property will be relegated to the side or rear of
buildings in the Primary Development Zone. Setbacks shall be as follows:. Formatted: Font: Bold, Underline
Zone.
iii. Front — Minimum — As an accessory use: No closer to the right-of-way
than any existing or proposed primary structure in the Primary
Development Zone.
4. IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES
a. Woodlands — The Subject Properties are mostly wooded. Any future
development, by right or commercial will result in the loss of most, if not all the
existing trees.
b. Wetlands/water features — There are no wetlands, streams or other water
features on the Subject Properties.
c. Wildlife Habitats— Wildlife habitats on the Subject Properties will be effected by
future development of the Subject Properties. There are no know endangered
species of plants or animals that will be impacted by future development.
5. PROPOSED PROFFERS TO ADDRESS IMPACTS
a. HC use limitations —
Retail uses will be limited to no more than 25,000 square feet 49y of the
total floor area built on the site. This is approximately 25% of the
Droiected total floor areal to be built on the two Droperties.

Comment [FS1]: The problem with
percentages is that you either have to apply
them to every building or the whole site and,
not knowing how many total square feet will
be built ifthe project includes multiple
phases, there is no way to know when you've
hit 25% until the entire project is built out.
J. Eating establishments shall be limited to 1,500 square feet or less per
establishment.
iii. Residential uses shall be secondary and limited to the upper floors of
multi -story buildings
iv. Existing cemetery will not be expanded..

Berkmar Right -of -Way -The applicants ares+proffering a reserved area along
Berkmar 44 feet from the center line of Berkmar for additional Berkmar right-of-
way. This reserved area will be held pending a final determination by the County
Small Area Plan and VDOT regarding the need for future Berkmar expansion.
The reserved area may be used by Owners to construct decel and turn lanes
serving the properties. at thiss time herause ..,o .do_nft believe the r. ea d ran be

Easement for future connector road from Berkmar to Rte 29. The applicants are
not proffering an easement for the connector road at this time because the
adjoining property owner to the north (John Nunley) is unwilling to cooperate
and will not grant any easement on his property, nor is he amenable to a joint
entry between his property and the Applicants'. In addition, our understanding
is that VDOT is no longer supporting a connector road in this location.
Nonetheless, the Owners will attempt to maintain an area 40 feet wide along the
northern property boundary free of buildings or other improvements that would
preclude a future connection until such time that a final determination can be
made regarding the feasibility of such connection.
