PLANNING COMMISSION BUSINESS
MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN #10-07 OF RENAISSANCE COMMERCIAL
CENTER - AUTHORIZED STAFF TO ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVE
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She advised
this was a master development plan consisting of four tracts of land totaling 22.1 acres for
commercial uses. The property is located on Valley Pike (Route 11). The property would be
accessed via Renaissance Drive, which would connect Valley Pike to Shady Elm Road. The
applicant has provided for the extension of Prosperity drive to its connection with Renaissance
Drive. There would be one full entrance onto Valley Pike along with one right-in only and right-out
only entrance and exit. She advised that staff was concerned about the additional access points. She
also cited concerns with note #3 on the Master Development Plan, which cited the MPO 2030 study,
but did not recognize the county's F,astern Road Plan, which called for Renaissance Drive to be an
urban four-lane road. She stated the applicant was willing to revise the note and had agreed to come
Minute Book Number 33
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 09/26/07
095
up with a revised design for Renaissance Drive to meet the county's needs. Senior Planner Perkins
went on to say the Planning Commission had approved a buffer modification request and
recommended approval of this master development plan. She stated the proposed master
development plan depicted appropriate land uses and appeared to be consistent with the 7,oning
Ordinance and was in a form that was administratively apposable. She concluded by saying staff was
seeking authority from the Board to administratively approve this master development plan.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence advised the Board that the key proffer during the rezoning
of Kerns town Business Park was the preservation of the right-of--way for Prosperity Drive and this
master development plan met that proffer
Evan Wyatt, Greenway F_,ngineering, appeared before the Board on behalf of the applicant.
He advised that note #3 on the plan would be eliminated and revised. With regard to the
construction of Renaissance Drive, Mr. Wyatt stated that Warrior Drive was the example he was
thinking of for this preliminary construction. He spoke briefly regarding the proposed right-in,
right-out entrance and exit and believed it was the appropriate thing to do.
Vice-Chairman Fisher asked the applicant not to make the right-in only turn inviting to
people and to use VDOT or other specs to help alleviate drivers turning left into the right-in only
entrance.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Van Osten, seconded by Vice-Chairman Fisher, the Board
granted staff authority to administratively approve Master Development Plan # 10-07.
