The rezoning shall be reviewed and approved following the rezoning procedures described by this chapter, including procedures for impact analysis and conditional zoning. In adopting the rezoning, the master development plan submitted will be accepted as a condition proffered for the rezoning. Alternative Design Standard In order to have land rezoned to the R4 District, a master development shall be submitted with the rezoning application. The rezoning and master development plan shall be reviewed and approved following the procedures described in Article II of this chapter. The master development plan shall be submitted as a proffered condition of the rezoning and shall serve as an overall guide for the development of the R4 District property. The following items will be considered as flexible design elements of the master development plan and will be pennitted to be modified through subsequent master development plan submittals without the requirement for conditional zoning amendments as specified in § 165-13D of this chapter. Master Development Plan Flexible Design Elements ➢ The Proffer Statement and Community Design Modification Document may be referenced on the Master Development Plan but does not have to be included as a required information item ➢ The scale of the Master Development Plan may exceed 1:100 provided that the information is legible at a scale acceptable to the Planning Director. ➢ A schedule and boundary of phases will not be required for the R4 District to allow for multiple product types to be developed simultaneously provided that the public and private streets and alleys serving the land uses are constructed to base pavement and bonded prior to building permit issuance. ➢ Acreages of environmental features will be provided on the initial master development plan and may be modified due to design revisions and/or development constraints provided that minimum ordinance standards are met. ➢ Acreages and percentages of disturbed and protected land in environmental features and open space may be modified due to design revisions and/or development constraints provided that minimum ordinance standards are met. Willow Run Community Design Modification Document ➢ Acreages in housing type and road right-of-way may be modified due to design revisions and/or development constraints. The total number of dwelling units by type may be modified provided that the totals do not deviate from the minimum and maximum percentages established in the proffered Willow Run Community Residential Unit Matrix. ➢ The location and required type of recreational facilities may be modified provided that an equivalent recreational facility value is provided and the value is approved by the Parks and Recreation Director. ➢ The location of internal public and private streets and alleys that are not identified in the Comprehensive Policy Plan may be modified due to design revisions and/or development constraints. > Cul-de-sac road systems may be redesigned to continue street systems into adjoining properties. 9 The location and arrangement of street entrances, driveways and parking areas may be modified to accommodate future commercial development, design revisions and/or development constraints. ➢ The location of schematic utility layouts will be provided on the initial Master Development Plan and may be modified due to design revisions and/or development constraints. > The location of additional stormwater management facilities may be provided on subsequent Subdivision Design Plans for the Willow Run Community. The road names provided on the initial Master Development Plan may be revised if the new road names are approved by the GIS Director. Justification A Master Development Plan (MDP) is intended to promote orderly and planned development and to illustrate the characteristics of the planned development and surrounding properties. Within the R4, Residential Planned Community District, the MDP is identified as a document meeting all requirements of Article XVIII that is submitted as a proffered condition of the rezoning application. Certain required design elements of the MDP will inevitably be modified throughout the development process of a community the size of Willow Run. Therefore, the ability to allow for minor revisions to the MDP for the required design elements identified above without the requirement for a rezoning amendment public hearing process is justified. Willow Run Community Design Modification Document 2 MODIFICATION 92 Ordinance Requirement 165-69 Permitted Uses All uses are allowed in the R4 Residential Planned Community District that are allowed in the RP Residential Performance District. Alternative Design Standard Residential housing types other than those permitted in the RP Residential Performance District may be allowed in the R4 Residential Planned Community District. The Board of Supervisors shall have the approval authority for new residential housing types. Information describing the residential housing type, the minimum lot area, the minimum lot width, minimum yard setbacks for principal and accessory structures, maximum building heights for principal and accessory structures, and minimum on -lot parking spaces is required to be provided for review and approval by the Board of Supervisors. The dimensional standards for all permitted residential housing types shall be included as information on the proffered Master Development Plan. Justification Willow Run has been designed to provide for a complete range of housing product types in an urban landform, which is consistent with Traditional Neighborhood Development design. The residential housing products permitted in the RP Residential Performance District promote dimensional standards that are consistent with conventional suburban land form which does not lend itself towards the more compact design associated with traditional neighborhood development. The nine housing product types proposed for Willow Run creates a mix that allows for a residential market ranging from starter homes through retirement homes. Therefore, the ability to utilize these housing product types with specific dimensional requirements for all components of the developed lot is justified.

Alternative Design Standard A maximum of 60% of the area of the planned conununity designated for residential land use may be used for single-family attached and multifamily housing types. Justification Planned cominunity design promotes a mixture of residential housing types to create a community that is available to a variety of age groups and income levels. Willow Run provides for the development of nine housing product types including single-family detached units, single-family attached units, multifamily units and age -restricted units. A residential unit matrix has been developed that establishes a minimum and maximum percentage of these various residential units to ensure that there is a sufficient mixture of residential housing product types. This residential unit matrix is a component of the proffer statement and is also included in this document for reference. The use of the residential unit matrix is a better tool to control residential unit mix than residential development area percentages; therefore, the proposed modification will allow for the implementation of the proffered Master Development Plan design for Willow Run. Willow Run Community Residential Unit Matrix Category Minimum Maximum % Housing Types Permitted % of Units of Units Single -Family 20% 35% RP District SFD; 35' SFD lot; 45' SFD lot; Detached 55' SFD lot Single -Family 20% 40% Duplex; Multiplex; Atrium House; Weak - Attached Link Townhouse; Townhouse Multifamily 20% 30% Condominium; Apartments; Residential Above Commercial Age -Restricted 5% 20% Single -Family Small Lot; Duplex; Multiplex Willow Run Community Desi. -n Modification Document 4 MODIFICATION #4 § 165-721] Commercial and Industrial Areas Ordinance Requirement A minimum of 10% of the gross area of the project shall be used for business and industrial uses. Alternative Design Standard A minimum of 9% of the gross area of Willow Run shall be used for commercial land use. Justification Willow Run is approximately 360 acres; therefore, a minimum of 36 acres is required to be used for business and industrial uses. The West Jubal Early Land Use Plan (WJELUP) does not recommend the development of industrial land use within the study area boundary and recommends the development of commercial centers at the intersection of Jubal Early Drive and the north -south major collector road and at the intersection of Cedar Creek Grade and the north -south collector road. These commercial centers are adjacent to Route 37, with the northern commercial center located adjacent to the new Route 37/Jubal Early Drive interchange. The northwest quadrant of this commercial center is currently traversed by Merriman's Lane, which will be abandoned by VDOT once the new Route 37/Jubal Early Drive interchange is developed in Willow Run. The Applicants will obtain the Merriman's Lane right-of-way once it is abandoned by VDOT and will process a rezoning application to incorporate this additional acreage into the Willow Run commercial center. This will provide a minimum of 36 acres of gross commercial land area for Willow Run. Willow Run Community Design Modification Document 5 MODIFICATION 95 § 165-72G Buffers and Screening Ordinance Requirement Buffers and screening shall be provided accordingly as specified in § 165-37 of this chapter. Road efficiency buffers shall be provided according to the requirements of that section. Alternative Design Standard A road efficiency buffer shall not be required along' both sides of Sandyridge Boulevard throughout the residential portion of Willow Run provided that all residential units are alley served and the street typical section provides for a raised landscaped center median and street trees between the back of curb and the residential units. Justification Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) design promotes the development of residential lots that are oriented to the public street, which are served by private alley systems. Residential structures are typically 15-20 feet from the public right-of-way, which is not conducive to road efficiency buffer standards. Sandyridge Boulevard is identified as a major collector road in the West Jubal Early Land Use Plan (WIELUP), which requires the provision of a road efficiency buffer. The proffered Master Development Plan for Willow Run designs Sandyridge Boulevard with a raised landscaped center median with on -street parking and street trees between the back of curb and the sidewalk. This landscaped street design is consistent with TND design practice and is a reasonable substitute to the road efficiency buffer requirement. Willow Run Community Design Modification Document 6 MODIFICATION ff6 Ordinance Requirement § 165-721 Road Access The planned community development shall be provided with a complete system of public streets dedicated to the Virginia Department of Transportation. Alternative Design Standard Residential and nonresidential land uses within the R4 District may be served by public streets dedicated to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) or by private streets and alleys that are owned and maintained by the Willow Run Property Owners Association. The typical sections for all public streets, private streets and alleys shall be incorporated as a component of the proffered Master Development Plan for Willow Run. Justification Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) design promotes the development of residential lots that locate residential structures closer to the public street which are served by alley systems. Several of the housing product types proposed within Willow Run utilize rear loaded attached and detached garage units that are served by private alleys, while single-family detached units adjacent to Route 37 utilize private streets for access. The design standards for these private road systems are identified on the proffered Master Development Plan for Willow Run. These design standards are reviewed by VDOT and County staff, therefore, the ability to utilize a system of public and private streets and alleys within Willow Run is justified. Willow Run Community Design Modification Document 7 A40DIFICATION #7 § 165-72B Dimensional Requirements Ordinance Requirement Areas shall be specifically designated for each different use on the master development plan. Within those areas, the uses shall meet the applicable dimensional requirements set forth for those uses in the RP, B1, B2 and Ml Zoning Districts. Alternative Design Standard Buildings developed within the defined commercial areas of the Willow Run Master Development Plan may have a minimum front yard setback of 20 feet from all street systems and may have a maximum height of 50 feet to accommodate above retail commercial, office, or residential land use. Justification Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) design promotes the development of commercial centers, which include street oriented buildings that may be designed to accommodate above retail office or above retail residential land use. The Willow Run project has incorporated specific commercial design standards as a component of the Proffer Statement to ensure this commercial form through the requirement of parking lot location and enlarged pedestrian walkways in front of commercial buildings. These design standards are consistent with the new UDA vision for planned communities; therefore, the ability to develop commercial buildings within 20 feet of the public street system that are 50 feet in height to accommodate above retail commercial, office and residential land use within Willow Run is justified.
