RE:
Channing Drive Master Development Plan
DATE:
March 18, 2004
Staff has received a request to consider enabling individual development revisions to the Channing
Drive Master Development Plan. The Channing Drive MDP is currently a single approved Master
Development Plan encompassing the entire 374 acre development project; the project entails three
separate developments (subdivisions): Lynnhaven, Sovereign Village, and the Fu-Shep tract. It is
through the adoption of the resolution that the three individual developers/property owners would
be enabled to submit MDP revisions for their particular projects without acquiring the applicable
approval signatures from each of the other two developers.
When Rezoning # 15-99 for Channing Drive was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December
8, 1999, a number of proffered conditions were also accepted. One of these proffered conditions
addressed the construction of the major collector road named Channing Drive. In an effort to
implement this proffered condition, the three original property owners/developers submitted a single
master development plan (MDP #08-00) to the County. This MDP provided a phasing system
whereby portions of the major collector road would be realized as adjacent development was
constructed. This approved MDP essentially provided the assurances that the proffered road would
be constructed as new traffic-generating uses (residential and commercial) were developed.
The approach that has been suggested to staff is that if the entire Channing Drive major collector
road segment is designed, right-of-way dedicated, and its construction is guaranteed, then it may be
appropriate for the County to consider individual revisions to the previously approved Master
Development Plan. This would not eliminate the requirements of the MDP, but would merely enable
revisions to each development as its respective developer/land owner felt appropriate.
107 North Kent Street. Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000
Adoption of the attached resolution would enable the three developers to proceed with Master
Development Plan revisions, which would be reviewed independently of one another. As noted in
the resolution, the major collector road known as Channing Drive would need to be dedicated and
its construction guaranteed prior to the approval of the master development plan revisions.
Please contact staff should you have questions concerning this resolution.
