An Ordinance
to Approve Rezoning Request REZN05-CR-004, Green Springs

Topic
Description:
The
applicant wishes to rezone approximately 165.0 acres from
Residential (R-1) conditional to Residential R-1 and R-2
with proffers to allow for: 1) a clustered residential
subdivision with an affordable housing component; 2) one
conventional lot; and 3) one non-common open space parcel.
Based on
recent meetings and discussions with the applicant, staff
anticipates receipt of revised proffers that will further
clarify the proposal. The proposal includes fifteen (15)
units proffered as affordable housing units.
Project
Update:
On July 14,
2005, the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on this
item. At the applicant’s request, the item was postponed
for 30 days to work out project refinements. Since that
time, the applicant has been diligently working to resolve
the ingress/egress issues for the site and has conducted
several meetings. A potential solution for public road
access involving a new parcel is being considered. The
applicant is in the midst of negotiations with the
landowners. At the time of report preparation, details on
that negotiation were not available or finalized.
Anticipating the arrival of the new submittal, staff
recommends postponement of this item for up to 90 days.
On June 9,
2005, this item was postponed by the Board of Supervisors at
the applicant’s request for 30 days to work out project
refinements and respond to referral agency comments.
Subsequently, the applicant met with staff to respond to
those comments.

Staff
Analysis:
Staff and the appropriate referral agencies have reviewed
this request for conformance with the Comprehensive Plan,
the Zoning Ordinance, and other relevant policies and
regulations. Staff and referral agency findings, comments,
and recommendations from referral agencies are available
upon request.
Summary and Recommendations:
It is
recommended that the Board of Supervisors hold the public
hearing on this item.
The
applicant has been working with an adjacent property owner
to develop a new primary ingress/egress for the residential
subdivision. This alternative could potentially satisfy
VDOT and other referral agency comments.
Staff
highlights the inclusion of the fifteen (15) affordable
units, via proffers, in this project and notes that there is
a need for this type of housing in the County.
