The village growth area base districts established in this article are intended to establish within the village growth areas designated in the comprehensive plan a compact pattern of urban and suburban development characterized by mixed-use village centers and commerce centers surrounded by diverse residential neighborhoods. While the purpose of each type of village growth area base district is tailored to the land use classification it is intended to help implement, the following additional purposes are common to all village growth area base districts:

(1)

Provide appropriately located lands to meet the residential needs of the county's current and future populations;

(2)

Provide appropriately located lands for the full range of commercial uses needed by the county's residents, businesses, and workers;

(3)

Provide appropriately located lands for the full range of heavy industrial, light industrial, and industrially related uses that can realistically contribute to the local economy and take advantage of the local employee base;

(4)

Strengthen the county's economic base, and provide employment opportunities close to home for residents of the county and surrounding communities;

(5)

Preserve the unique character of historic resources;

(6)

Promote development that establishes a character and sense of identity for the various village centers, commerce centers, and neighborhoods, and provide appropriate transitions between them;

(7)

Encourage mixed-use development that enables people to live, work, shop, and play in close vicinity to each other;

(8)

Include road and walkway networks that ensue safe and efficient vehicular access and circulation and provide a high level of vehicular interconnectivity;

(9)

Promote the mixing of low-speed vehicular traffic and pedestrian activity along human-scale streetscapes;

(10)

Promote walkable village growth areas by providing multiple opportunities for people to walk to local destinations by a variety of routes;

(11)

Preserve or provide a "green network" of open spaces and parks that protect natural areas and historic resources and tie together village centers, commerce centers, residential neighborhoods, schools, and other important destinations within a village growth areas;

(12)

Protect properties from fires, explosions, toxic fumes and substances, and other public safety hazards;

(13)

Protect residential, commercial, and industrial developments from the potential adverse impacts of incompatible adjacent uses and development;

(14)

Coordinate and time development with the availability of adequate infrastructure capacity;

(15)

Provide systems for properly mitigating the stormwater impacts of individual developments that are coordinated with countywide stormwater management efforts; and

(16)

Promote sustainable development in terms of energy efficiency and conservation, food security, materials recycling, water conservation, and similar sustainability goals.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to allow dump heaps, as defined herein, therefore keeping or maintaining a dump heap shall be prohibited on property in all village growth area base districts.

A. Purpose.		Typical Development Form
The purpose of the Single-family Residential-2 (R-2) District is to accommodate low-density, semi-suburban residential developments at the edges of village growth areas designated in the comprehensive plan, where they provide transition between the village growth area's more intensely developed areas and surrounding rural areas. Specifically, the district is intended to accommodate single-family detached homes on lots of two or more acres (or the equivalent density). It may include complementary limited institutional uses (e.g., schools, public safety facilities, places of worship, and parks). New R-2 districts shall be located in areas classified low-density residential by the comprehensive plan.

A. Purpose.			Typical Development Form
The purpose of the Light Industrial (I-1) District is to accommodate light industrial uses that are small-scale or generally can be operated with minimal adverse impacts on the environment and surrounding uses (e.g., from dust, fumes, smoke, odors, noise, or vibration, or due to exterior movement of vehicle, materials, and goods). Such light industrial uses include limited manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, processing, and research and development uses, as well as functionally related distribution, warehousing, and industrial service uses. The district also accommodates limited small-scale commercial uses (e.g., flex buildings and ancillary commercial uses serving district businesses and their employees), as well as vehicle service uses and other commercial uses that may be incompatible in other districts (e.g., commercial kennels). District development is intended to include roadways designed to accommodate delivery and distribution truck traffic generated by industrial and commercial uses, and to provide buffers from surrounding neighborhoods to the extent needed to mitigate potential impacts.

A. Purpose.		Typical Development Form
The purpose of the Mining and Mineral Extraction (M) District is to accommodate surface and subsurface extraction of building or landscaping materials (e.g., stone, gravel, sand, topsoil), mineral solids (e.g., coal, ores, gems), mineral liquids (e.g., crude petroleum), or gases (e.g., natural gas) from the earth. The district also accommodates uses involving the basic preparation (e.g., separation, washing, grinding) of extracted materials for transport or further processing or use. Standards for each M District are intended to be established by a master plan approved as part of the rezoning process.
B. Use Standards.
See use specific standards in Article VII (Use Standards).
C. Intensity and Dimensional Standards.
Setback for any excavation area from any adjoining dwelling or residential subdivision.	300 ft.
Setback for any building containing power-driven or power producing equipment from any adjoining property or right-of-way.	600 ft.
Notes: ft. = feet
D. Development Standards.

(Ord. No. O-2013-14, 2-3-14)

A planned development is a development that is planned and developed under unified control in accordance with more flexible standards and procedures that are conducive to creating more mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented, and otherwise higher quality development than could be achieved through base zoning district regulations. The purpose of this division is to provide a uniform means for amending the official zoning district map to establish any of the three planned development (PD) zoning districts allowed by this chapter: the VR-PD village residential planned development; the VC-PD village center planned development; and the CC-PD commerce center planned development.

The village growth area planned development (PD) districts are established and intended to encourage innovative land planning and site design concepts that support a high quality of life and achieve a high quality of development, environmental sensitivity, energy efficiency, and other county goals and objectives by:

(1)

Reducing or diminishing the inflexibility or uniform design that sometimes results from strict application of zoning and development standards designed primarily for individual lots;

(2)

Allowing greater freedom in selecting the means of providing access, open space, and design amenities;

(3)

Allowing greater freedom in providing a well-integrated mix of residential and nonresidential land uses in the same development, including a mix of housing types, lot sizes, and densities;

(4)

Providing for efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lowering development and housing costs; and

(5)

Promoting quality design and environmentally sensitive development that respects surrounding established land use character and respects and takes advantage of a site's natural and man-made features, such as trees, wetlands, surface waters, floodplains, and historic features.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to allow dump heaps, as defined herein, therefore keeping or maintaining a dump heap shall be prohibited on property in all village growth area planned development districts.

(Ord. No. O-2013-06, 9-16-13; Ord. No. O-2019-15, 3-25-19)

Land shall be classified into a planned development zoning district only in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Article II (Administration) and this chapter.

(Ord. No. O-2013-06, 9-16-13)

(a)

PD plan. The PD plan shall:

(1)

Include a statement of planning and marketing objectives for the district;

(2)

Identify the general location of individual development areas, identified by land use(s) and/or development density or intensity;

(3)

Identify for the entire PD district and each development area the acreage, types and mix of land uses, number of residential units (by use type and number of bedrooms), nonresidential floor area (by use type), residential density, and nonresidential intensity;

(4)

Identify the general location, amount, and type (whether designated for active or passive recreation) of open space;

(5)

Identify the location of environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitat, and waterway corridors;

(6)

Identify the on-site transportation circulation system, including the general location of all public streets and private roads, existing or projected transit corridors, and pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and how they will connect with existing and planned county and state systems;

(7)

Identify the general location of on-site potable water and wastewater facilities, and how they will connect to county systems;

(8)

Identify the general location of on-site stormwater management facilities, and how they will connect to county systems;

(9)

Identify the general location of all other on-site public facilities serving the development, including but not limited to parks, schools, and facilities for fire protection, police protection, EMS, stormwater management, and solid waste management; and

(10)

Include a development phasing plan in accordance with section 83-282(d), development phasing plan if phasing of PD development is proposed.

(b)

Consistency with county plans. The PD Zoning District designation, the PD plan, and the PD terms and conditions shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan and any functional plans and small area plans adopted by the county.

(c)

Compatibility with surrounding areas. Development along the perimeter of a PD district shall be compatible with adjacent existing or proposed development. Where there are issues of compatibility, the PD plan shall provide for transition areas at the edges of the PD district that provide for appropriate buffering and/or ensure a complementary character of uses. Determination of complementary character shall be based on densities/intensities, lot size and dimensions, building height, building mass and scale, hours of operation, exterior lighting, and siting of service areas.

(d)

Development phasing plan. If development in the PD district is proposed to be phased, the PD plan shall include a development phasing plan that identifies the general sequence or phases in which the district is proposed to be developed, including how residential and nonresidential development will be timed, how infrastructure (public and private) and open space will be provided and timed, and how development will be coordinated with the county's capital improvements program.

(e)

Conversion schedule. The PD plan may include a conversion schedule that identifies the extent to which one type of residential use may be converted to another type of residential use and one type of nonresidential use may be converted to another type of nonresidential use. Such conversions may occur within development areas and between development areas as long as they occur within the same development phase, as identified by the approved development phasing plan, and are consistent with established extents of conversion set down in the conversion schedule.

(f)

On-site public facilities.

(1)

Design and construction. The PD plan shall establish the responsibility of the developer/landowner to design and construct or install required and proposed on-site public facilities in compliance with applicable county, state, and federal regulations.

(2)

Dedication. The PD plan shall establish the responsibility of the developer/landowner to dedicate to the public the rights-of-way and easements necessary for the construction or installation of required and proposed on-site public facilities in compliance with applicable county, state, and federal regulations.

(3)

Modifications to street standards. In approving a PD plan, the board of supervisors may approve modifications or reductions of private road design standards—including those for right-of-way widths, pavement widths, required materials, and turning radii—on finding that:

a.

The PD plan provides for separation of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic;

b.

Access for emergency service vehicles is not substantially impaired;

c.

Adequate off-street parking is provided for the uses proposed; and

d.

Adequate space for public utilities is provided within the street right-of-way.

(g)

PD terms and conditions. The PD terms and conditions shall include, but not be limited to:

(1)

Conditions related to approval of the application for the PD Zoning District classification;

(2)

The PD plan, including any density/intensity standards, dimensional standards, and development standards established in the PD plan;

(3)

Conditions related to the approval of the PD plan, including any conditions related to the form and design of development shown in the PD plan;

A planned development district (PDD) shall be applied for by submitting a PDD plan.

(a)

PDD plan. The PDD plan shall:

(1)

Include a statement of planning and marketing objectives for the district;

(2)

Identify the general location of individual development areas, identified by land use(s) and/or development density or intensity;

(3)

Identify for the entire PDD district and each development area the acreage, types and mix of land uses, number of residential units (by use type and number of bedrooms), nonresidential floor area (by use type), residential density, and nonresidential intensity;

(4)

Identify the general location, amount, and type (whether designated for active or passive recreation) of open space;

(5)

Identify the location of environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitat, and waterway corridors;

(6)

Identify the on-site transportation circulation system, including the general location of all public streets and private roads, existing or projected transit corridors, and pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and how they will connect with existing and planned county and state systems;

(7)

Identify the general location of on-site potable water and wastewater facilities, and how they will connect to county systems;

(8)

Identify the general location of on-site stormwater management facilities, and how they will connect to county systems;

(9)

Identify the general location of all other on-site public facilities serving the development, including but not limited to parks, schools, and facilities for fire protection, police protection, EMS, stormwater management, and solid waste management; and

(10)

Development phasing plan. If development is proposed to be phased, the PDD plan shall include a development phasing plan that identifies the general sequence or phases in which the district is proposed to be developed, including how residential and nonresidential development will be timed, how infrastructure (public and private) and open space will be provided and timed, and how development will be coordinated with the county's capital improvements program.

(b)

Consistency with county plans. The PDD zoning district designation, the PDD plan, and the PDD terms and conditions shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.

(c)

Phasing Schedule. The master plan shall include a plan for no more than 30 percent of the overall parcel(s) acreage(s) dedicated to residential units constructed west of State Route 288. Prior to any residential development receiving a certificate of occupancy, 30 percent of the total gross square footage of commercial/industrial must be completed with a certificate of occupancy(C.O.) issued accordingly.

(d)

Compatibility with surrounding areas. Development along the perimeter of a PDD district shall be compatible with adjacent existing or proposed development. Where there are issues of compatibility, the PDD plan shall provide for transition areas at the edges of the PDD district that provide for appropriate buffering and/or ensure a complementary character of uses. Determination of complementary character shall be based on densities/intensities, lot size and dimensions, building height, building mass and scale, hours of operation, exterior lighting, and siting of service areas.

(e)

Conversion schedule. The PDD plan may include a conversion schedule that identifies the extent to which one type of residential use may be converted to another type of residential use and one type of nonresidential use may be converted to another type of nonresidential use. Such conversions may occur within development areas and between development areas if they occur within the same development phase, as identified by the approved development phasing plan, and are consistent with established extents of conversion set down in the conversion schedule.

(f)

On-site public facilities.

(1)

Design and construction. The PDD plan shall establish the responsibility of the developer/landowner to design and construct or install required and proposed on-site public facilities in compliance with the applicable county, state, and federal regulations.

(2)

Dedication. The PDD plan shall establish the responsibility of the developer/landowner to dedicate to the public the rights-of-way and easements necessary for the construction or installation of required and proposed on-site public facilities in compliance with the applicable county, state, and federal regulations.

(3)

Modifications to street standards. In approving a PDD plan, the board of supervisors may approve modifications or reductions of private road design standards—including those for right-of-way widths, pavement widths, required materials, and turning radii—on finding that:

a.

The PDD plan provides for the separation of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic;

b.

Access for emergency service vehicles is not substantially impaired;

c.

Adequate off-street parking is provided for the uses proposed; and

d.

Adequate space for public utilities is provided within the street right-of-way.

(g)

PDD terms and conditions. The PDD terms and conditions shall include, but not be limited to:

(1)

Conditions related to approval of the application for the PDD zoning district classification;

(2)

The PDD plan, including any density/intensity standards, dimensional standards, and development standards established in the PDD plan;

(3)

Conditions related to the approval of the PDD plan, including any conditions related to the form and design of development shown in the PDD plan;

(4)

Provisions addressing how transportation, potable water, wastewater, stormwater management, and other public facilities will be provided to accommodate the proposed development;

(5)

Provisions related to environmental protection and monitoring; and

(6)

Any other provisions the board of supervisors determines are relevant and necessary to the development of the PDD in accordance with applicable standards and requirements of this chapter.

(h)

Uses. Allowed principal uses in a PDD district shall be established in the PDD plan. Allowed uses shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan and the purpose of the particular type of PDD district, and subject to applicable use-specific standards in Article VII: Use Standards, and any additional limitations or requirements established for a particular PDD district.

(i)

Densities/intensities. The densities for residential development and the intensities for nonresidential development applicable in each development area of a PDD district shall be as established in the PDD plan, and shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan, other adopted special area and county plans, and the purpose of the particular type of PDD district.

(j)

Dimensional standards. The dimensional standards applicable in each development area of a PDD district shall be as established in the PDD plan and shall be consistent with the purpose of the particular type of PDD District. The PDD plan shall include at least the following types of dimensional standards:

(1)

Maximum dwelling units per acre and/or maximum floor area ratio;

(2)

Minimum lot area;

(3)

Minimum lot width;

(4)

Maximum impervious surface area;

(5)

Maximum building height;

(6)

Maximum individual building size;

(7)

Minimum and maximum yard depths or setbacks; and

(8)

Minimum buffers and/or setbacks from adjoining residential development or residential zoning districts, from adjacent farm operations, and from environmental features such as watercourses and wetlands.

(k)

Development standards. All development in a PDD district shall comply with the development standards of Article VIII: Development Standards, and Powhatan County Code Chapter 68 (Subdivisions), subject to any modifications of those standards established in the PDD plan as consistent with the comprehensive plan and other adopted county plans, the objective of the particular type of development standard, the purpose of the particular PDD district, and any additional limitations or requirements set forth in this division for the particular type of PDD district.

(l)

Lots may front a commercial or gated community private road as part of an approved PDD plan. The number and general location of lots must be specified in the PDD plan. Any deviation from the approved plan must receive board of supervisor's approval.

(m)

Revisions to the plan. Major and minor revisions of the PDD plan will be addressed as follows:

(1)

Major revisions. Requests for major revisions to an approved PDD development plan shall follow procedural requirements for zoning map amendments. A major revision shall be characterized by any of the following:

a.

Significant changes in density;

b.

Substantial changes in vehicular circulation or access;

c.

Substantial changes in the types of land uses proposed;

d.

Substantial changes in building design or site design; and,

e.

Any other change the zoning administrator determines is a major divergence from the approved development plan.

(2)

Minor revisions. Other changes to an approved PDD development plan may be considered minor and may be administratively approved by the zoning administrator. Requests for minor revisions shall be in writing by the owner. If the zoning administrator denies such a request, the matter may be brought before the board of supervisors for a public hearing and a decision to approve or deny.

(3)

If there is any ambiguity or uncertainty as to whether a requested PDD revision is major or minor, it shall be deemed to be major.

(Ord. No. O-2022-35, 2-27-23)

The village growth area overlay districts established in this section are intended to provide a mechanism whereby special supplemental standards may be applied to specific village growth areas or specific areas within any village growth area, generally for the purpose of addressing aspects of development design that may not be important enough to address in the standards applicable throughout a particular base district, but that are important in defining the existing or planned character of development in a particular area. Where the rules of the overlay and the base district are different, the more restrictive standards apply. The district rules do not apply to, nor impact, existing uses of land.

(Ord. No. O-2014-02, 2-18-14)

The village growth area overlay districts established by this chapter are:
