R17-0012: Main Street, LLC (RO17-0012) (Courtland District)
Recommendation:

The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request with the proffered conditions.  

 

Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached ordinance, RO17-0012,  approving the zoning with the proffer statement dated May 29, 2018.

Summary:
The applicant requests a rezoning of approximately 6.646 acres from Residential 1 (R-1) to Residential 8 (R-8) with proffers to allow for a maximum of 45 age-restricted single family attached units known as The Villas at Salem Church.  The property is located at 5715 Ross Drive which lies on the north side of Ross Drive, approximately 500 feet east of Salem Church Road.  The proposal creates a cluster development with a density of 6.6 dwelling units per acre and 2.4 acres preserved as open space.  The development will be accessed from Ross Drive with private streets serving the individual lots internally.  The property lies within the Primary Development Boundary and the proposed subdivision will be served by public water and sewer.
Committee/Commission Summary:

Review Date:
June 6, 2018
Status:Approved
Financial Impact:
The applicant provided a Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) which asserts the Villas at Salem will have an average sales price of $250,000 and generate $121,730 in revenue to the County annually.  Staff completed a separate analysis utilizing the County’s model which projects the project will generate approximately $65,540 annually at full build out. 
Staff Contacts:
Kimberly Pomatto, Planner III
Legal Counsel:
Alexandra Spaulding, Esq., Senior Assistant County Attorney
Additional Background/Other Considerations:
The Planning Commission requested staff to research the potential for a traffic signal at the intersection and provide an update to the Board. The County’s Traffic Engineer confirmed a traffic signal cannot be installed at this location as it does not meet signal warrant criteria and does not meet the VDOT spacing distance requirements for traffic signals given its proximity to the traffic signal to the north (General Semmes Road) or to the south (Salem Run Blvd/Kennedy Lane).  
Consequence of Denial/Inaction:
The property may develop as permitted under the existing zoning of Residential 1 (R-1).  The by right development potential for the property is 4 single family detached lots.
