ZONING HISTORY PLANNING Staff Contact: Darla Orr (804-717-6533) orrd@chesterfield.gov Case Number BOS Action Request 98SN0176 PROPOSAL APPROVED 7/29/1998 Rezoned request property and property to the north (Tract V of Case 98SN0176) from C-3 to I-1 with CUPD to permit limited commercial development: 25,000 square feet of C-1 uses, excluding convenience store and gasoline sales permitted at corner of Warbro and Hull Street Roads Carpenter, contractors and cabinetmakers offices and display rooms and electrical, plumbing or heating supply sales, service and display rooms with limited retail space permitted Light Industrial uses to east along Hull Street Road and to north. Planned to provide transition between commercial and area residential use and to prevent strip commercial development along Hull Street Road Development of a grocery store is planned at the corner of Hull Street and Warbro Roads; however, the existing zoning (Case 98SN0176) limits commercial use at this location to 25,000 square feet which would not accommodate the proposed store. The applicant requests to amend Condition 27 of Case 98SN0176 to remove the square footage limitation and permit C-1 and C-3 uses on the request property as outlined in the proffered conditions and Tract Plan (Attachments 1 and 3). While the expanded commercial uses are not suggested by the Plan, the subject property is bound to the north and east by a Resource Protection Area (RPA) which would serve as a transition between expanded commercial uses and area residential use and establish a boundary to discourage strip commercial development continuing east along Hull Street Road. In addition, the proposed uses are compatible with area development. A Conditional Use Planned Development is requested to reduce the setback for parking and drives along Hull Street Road from 50 to 30 feet. Landscaping within the buffer would still be required to meet Landscaping C (same as required for the 50 foot setback). The RPA to the north pushes development towards the corner of Hull Street and Warbro Roads. The setback exception would also accommodate sidewalks along Hull Street Road. Buildings would not be permitted at this reduced setback. 5 16SN0565-2016JUN22-BOS-RPT

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Drainage, Erosion and Water Quality Staff Contact: Scott Dunn (804-748-1030) dunns@chesterfield.gov Environmental Engineering has no comment on this request. REVITALIZATION Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt (804-318-8674) schlaudtc@chesterfield.gov The subject site is located in the Eastern Route 360 Corridor Special Focus and Gateway Revitalization Area, as denoted by Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan. Revitalization areas typically include aging buildings, property maintenance challenges, encroachment of incompatible land uses, and resulting challenges to property values. The Plan encourages maintaining and expanding economic vitality in such areas by encouraging new businesses. In addition, the Plan identifies new business attraction and vacant/underutilized land as revitalization opportunities. The proposed amendment to conditions of zoning would promote new business investment in support of corridor revitalization, by expanding the range of permitted commercial uses of the subject site. 10 16SN0565-2016JUN22-BOS-RPT
