Staff Report for Variations#23-27 from ZMA200400024 Old Trail Village
VARIATIONS FROM APPROVED PLANS, CODES, AND STANDARDS OF DEVELOPMENT
Each variation request has been reviewed for zoning and planning aspects of the regulations. Variations
are considered by the Board of Supervisors as a Special Exception under Chapter 18 Sections 33.5 and
33.9. Staff analysis of each variation request under County Code§ 18-8.5.5.3(c) is provided below.
VARIATION # —To varythe location and type of facility for stormwater treatment of thin"
11, 12, 14 and established in the Code of Development:
The applicant reques s or s ormwater to be treated by an extended detention water quality pond (a "wet
pond") located at the southwest corner of this area (Attachment B). The applicant submitted information to
the Engineering Division to show this location and type of facility would better accommodate the natural
drainage pattern of the area and provide equivalent stormwater treatment in a more aesthetically pleasing
design. The Engineering Division recommends approval of the proposed variation. Further staff analysis
is provided below:
1) The variation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
The variation is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
2) The variation does not increase the approved development density or intensity of
development.
Density is not increased.
3) The variation does not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any
other development in the zoning district.
The timing and phasing of the development is unaffected.
4) The variation does not require a special use permit.
A special use permit is not required.
5) The variation is in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved rezoning
application.

VARIATION #23 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment E) approving the special
exception to vary the Code of Development to permit an extended detention water quality pond to
treat stormwater from Blocks 11, 12, 14 and 15 in the location shown on the exhibit created by
Roudabush, Gale and Associates, Inc., dated July 23, 2105 and provided in Attachment B.
VARIATION #24—To allow lot sizes in Block 12 below the minimum lot size established in the
Code of Development:
The applicant is requesting lot sizes below the minimum 4,000 square foot lot size required by Table 6 of
the Code of Development. The justification for this request is that smaller lot sizes will allow Old Trail to
achieve a higher density. However, the applicant notes the increased density within Block 12 would not
increase the overall density allowed for the entire subdivision. The site plan currently under review for
Block 12 shows that Lots 13-24 are proposed to have lot sizes between 1,869.2—2586.3 square feet
(Attachment C). Staff confirmed with the Building Official, Fire/Rescue Division and the Zoning Division
that public health, safety and welfare would not be impacted by this type of request. Further staff analysis

development.

application.

exception to vary the Code of Development to permit lot sizes below 4,000 square feet in Block 12,
subject to the following condition:
1. No lot size for a single-family attached unit shall be below 1,800 square feet.
VARIATION #25 -To increase the building height in Block 12 above the maximum number of
stories established in the Code of Development:
The applicant is requesting to build units above the 2.5 story maximum allowed by Table 6 of the Code of
Development. The justification for this request is that a higher building height will provide larger living
space and a more aesthetically pleasing architecture for this block. Proposed elevations for Lots 13-24
show a building height of 3.5 stories (Attachment D). Staff confirmed with the Building Official and the
Zoning Division that public health, safety and welfare would not be impacted by this type of request.
Further staff analysis is provided below:
1) The variation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
The variation is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
2) The variation does not increase the approved development density or intensity of
development.
Density is not increased.
3) The variation does not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any
other development in the zoning district.
The timing and phasing of the development is unaffected.
4) The variation does not require a special use permit.
A special use permit is not required.
5) The variation is in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved rezoning
application.

Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment E) approving the special
exception to vary the Code of Development to permit a building height above the maximum 2.5 stories
permitted in Block 12, subject to the following condition:
1. No building height shall be above 3.5 stories.
VARIATION #26 -To reduce the front, side and rear setbacks for single-family attached and single-
family detached units within Block 12:
The applicant is requesting reduced setbacks within Block 12 for single-family attached and single-family
detached units. The applicant states that reduced setbacks will allow for more variation in the design of
each unit and produce a more aesthetically pleasing architecture overall. The applicant also states the
reduced setbacks will contribute to creating a strong sense of community among the residents. The site
plan currently under review for Block 12 shows the single-family attached units in Lots 13-24 with 5 foot
front and rear setbacks and 0 foot side setbacks. In areas with 0 foot side setbacks, a minimum 10 foot
building separation is required by Fire/Rescue. The single-family detached units in Lots 8-12 have five
foot front, side and rear setbacks (Attachment C). Staff confirmed with the Building Official, Fire/Rescue
Division and the Zoning Division that public health, safety and welfare would not be impacted by this type
of request with the use of the appropriate building materials (enforced through building permit review).

The variation is consistent with the comprehensive plan

conditions:

2. Lots 8-12 shall have five foot front, side and rear setbacks.
VARIATION #27—To allow roof overhangs and eaves to encroach the building setback in Block
12:
The applicant is requesting roof overhangs and eaves be allowed to project up to one foot into the
building setback within Block 12. The justification for this request is that the encroachment will enable a
larger buildable area for each lot and therefore allow more flexibility in the design of each unit. Staff
confirmed with the Building Official, Fire/Rescue Division and the Zoning Division that public health,
safety and welfare would not be impacted by this type of request with the use of the appropriate building
materials (enforced through building permit review). Further staff analysis of this request is provided
