BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

INFORMATION ITEM

SUBJECT: Briefing Item: Land Development Applications, February 7, 2012 Public

Hearing

ELECTION DISTRICT: Countywide

STAFF CONTACTS: John Merrithew, AICP, Department of Planning

Julie Pastor, AICP, Director of Planning

BACKGROUND:

On March 3, 2009, the Board of Supervisors amended its Land Development Policies to institute a briefing

of the upcoming cases prior to each public hearing. Supervisors will have already received the staff reports

for the upcoming February Public Hearing. The purpose of this item is to solicit any additional comments

or questions so staff may prepare a response for the hearing if time allows.

There are four land use applications on the agenda in February. To date there has been no public comment

on any of the applications and both the Commission and staff have recommended approval of the

applications. The Goose Creek Village Proffer Amendment would remove a requirement that the applicant

construct 20,000 square feet of office space before completing the residential component of the project.

Under current proffers they can build 300 of the approved 564 townhouses and apartments. The applicant

has built over 100,000 square feet of retail floor area but no office space.

The Gateway Zoning Conversion is a request to convert from the PD-IP zoning district under the 1993

Zoning Ordinance to PD-IP under the Revised 1993 Ordinance. Until recently this presented no issues;

however, the PD-IP district does not fully implement the new Route 28 policies and the policies now

recommend conversions only where they support the planned land use. Staff and the Planning Commission

have recommended approval of the conversion on the basis that it is consistent with Board practice and the

conversion to the latest Ordinance is beneficial.

Attachment 2 is a list of land use cases anticipated for the March and April, 2012 Board Public Hearings.

The chart is solely to assist in estimating the number of cases coming forward to public hearing.

ISSUES:

The staff report submitted with each case will address issues identified to date with each development

application. This item raises no new issues.

The property is located within the Route 28 Taxing District. The subject property is located on the north side of Route 606, between Pacific Boulevard and Route 28. The Revised General Plan (Suburban Policy Area (Ashburn Community)) and Route 28 Corridor Policy Area)

development at floor area ratios of 0.6 to 1.0. The Planning Commission will hear the application at their January 25 public hearing and the Board will receive an update on the Commission action prior to the February 7 public hearing. To date there has been no public comment. Staff is recommending approval of the application. The case has been “double advertised”; that is, scheduled for the Board hearing prior to Commission action, consistent with the Board policy of expediting ZRTD cases.

5. SPMI-2010-0003, Kingdom Hall

Election District: Catoctin

Staff Contact: Evan Harlow & Julie Pastor, Planning Department

Leesburg Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses of Paeonian Springs, Virginia has submitted an application for Minor Special Exception to modify the additional regulations of Section 5-639 of the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance to continue the church use and allow for an expansion of the existing church building on a property not meeting the minimum 10 acre lot size and to reduce the 75-foot building setback on the north and south sides of the existing building to 33-feet and 42-feet respectively, to accommodate a 1,678 square foot expansion of the existing church building. No increase in church capacity is proposed. The subject property is 2.27 acres in size and is located northeast of Bridge

View Court (Route 1018) and east of Charles Town Pike (Route 9) and north of the Route 7 Bypass. The policies of the Revised General Plan (Rural Policy Area) designate this area for rural economy uses and limited residential development. The Planning Commission does not hear a minor special exception.

6. ZOAM-2011-0004, Amendment to Section 6-500 of the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance

(Enforcement and Penalties)

Election District: Countywide

Staff Contacts: Jack Roberts, County Attorney

Pursuant to Sections 15.2-2204 and 15.2-2285 of the Code of Virginia the Board of Supervisors gives notice of an amendment to Section 6-500 of the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance to revise and add provisions related to enforcement of the zoning regulations and penalties for zoning violations. The Board of Supervisors initiated the amendment by resolution adopted on May 19, 2009. Section 6-502 is proposed to be amended to add a provision for the issuance of inspection warrants by a magistrate based on probable cause that a zoning violation has occurred with respect to the use or occupancy of a dwelling. Sections 6-503 and 6-504 are to be amended to provide that a violation arising from the same operative set of facts may be prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanor after civil fines total $5000 or more. The authority for this provision is Section 15.2-2209 of the Code of Virginia. The public purposes of these amendments are to achieve the purposes of zoning as set forth in Sections 15.2-2200 and 15.2-2283 of the Code of Virginia, including, without limitation, furtherance of the public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice and facilitating the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community.
