Agenda Item 5


• The subject site is part of a property that was rezoned from AG-2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-2

Community Business District in June 2013 and then subsequently modified in January 2015.

• The 2013 approved proffers prohibited development of the outparcels depicted on the concept plan for a period of two years following City Council’s approval. As the time limitation has passed, and the applicant has since begun development of the outparcels. The eastern outparcel has been developed with a fuel station, that was approved by City Council in October 2016.

• This is a request to develop a portion of the western outparcel with a Valvoline oil change facility. As the oil change facility is classified as an Automobile Repair Garage, a Conditional Use Permit is required. The remainder of the outparcel is proposed to be developed with an automobile parts store (Auto Zone), which is a by-right use and permitted under the terms of the proffer agreement.

• The concept plan depicts a two-bay, 1,675 square-foot building with garage bay doors on the southwestern side of the building, not facing the right-of-way.

• Vehicular ingress/egress is proposed via one point of access from the interior of the site. No direct vehicular access is proposed from Princess Anne Road.

• A four-foot tall, decorative wrought-iron style aluminum fence with brick columns, along with a mix of flowering and evergreen trees, is proposed along the right-of-way frontage of the site. A mix of shrubs and trees are depicted along the sides of the bay doors to assist in screening the internal working area.

• A freestanding sign with a brick base, approximately six feet in height, containing two sign faces for both the oil change facility and the auto parts store is proposed for the site.

• A dumpster is proposed to be located on the rear of the site, out of sight from the right-of-way. As required by the Zoning Ordinance, it will be enclosed with a masonry wall to match the proposed building’s exterior and will be further screened with evergreen shrubs.

• The eight parking spaces depicted on the Concept Plan meet the minimum requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, which requires at least seven parking spaces for an Automobile Repair Garage of this size.

• The submitted elevations depict earth-tone color exterior building materials of cement fiberboard siding and a brick watertable. A decorative trellis is depicted above the bay doors facing Princess Anne Road.

As a result of the review, the DSC concurs that the proposed conceptual stormwater strategy has the potential to successfully comply with the stormwater requirements of this site. However, this review is not a formal approval of the submitted stormwater plan. More details will be required and a formal review will take place during review of the construction plan through the DSC.

The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as the Transition Area. The Transition Area serves as a unique land use buffer for the low density Rural Area from the more densely developed Suburban Area, promoting open space and a low density. This part of the city is characterized by many high quality residential neighborhoods with significant open space areas. Proposed development within the Transition Area should continue the tradition of high quality development by adhering to the planning and design principles cited in the Transition Area Design Guidelines. These Guidelines include striving to achieve the goal of attaining 50% open space including berms, trees, buffer, and trails to create safe accessible and attractive roadway corridors and internal green space to provide attractive vistas, recreational areas and protect natural resources.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations


The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high water surface elevations in downstream receiving waters. There are no known significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.
