The planned rural residential district (PRR) is intended to encourage innovative development designs accommodating agricultural and forestry practices and preserving the rural character of the county, while accommodating residential development outside the limits of the primary development boundary. Provisions in this section are designed to support flexibility, economy, and ingenuity in the layout and design of subdivisions.

(Ord. No. 23-99, 2-12-02; Ord. No. 23-106, 11-25-03; Ord. No. 23-160, 1-13-15)

For the purpose of this section, rural preservation area shall be defined as that area of land set aside for specified use(s) designed to retain or enhance the rural character of a tract of land otherwise being dedicated to rural cluster or rural planned development. The object of this designation is to encourage continued productive use of rural land areas and complementing the character of the county's countryside. The rural preservation area should encompass all or most of the land that is seen by the public traveling on rural roadways. Absent unusual circumstances, such areas should be dominated by farm fields, pastoral or woodland areas that may be used for agriculture, passive recreation, or a combination of such or similar uses. Wetlands, resource protection areas, floodplains, or slopes greater than fifteen (15) percent shall not comprise more than fifty (50) percent of the rural preservation area unless approved by the board of supervisors as part of a rezoning or special use permit.

c.

Rear yard: Thirty-five (35) feet.

(d)

Design alternatives; purpose. The following design alternatives are meant to complement the purpose and intent of the PRR zoning classification. There are four (4) main design alternatives from which to choose, however, if an applicant can develop another design alternative that meets the goals and intent of the comprehensive plan then the board of supervisors may accept, reject or modify the design proposal.

(1)

Agricultural preservation: This alternative is intended for the continued support of agricultural operations within the rural preservation area and on surrounding properties.

i.

Development of all structures shall be located to minimize their impact on existing or future agricultural practices.

ii.

To protect agricultural and forestry uses, a sixty-five (65) foot buffer between the existing agricultural/forestal operation and planned residential uses is required. This buffer shall be composed of significant natural vegetation or landscaped in a manner consistent with transitional screening 3 as referenced in section 23-5.5.4, and detailed in article 6, design standards manual. This buffer may be incorporated as part of the rural preservation area requirement for the site.

(2)

Forestry preservation: This alternative is intended to foster the efficient use and management of forest resources within the rural preservation area and on surrounding properties.

i.

Development of all structures shall be located to minimize their impact on existing or future forestry practices.

ii.

To protect forestal uses, a minimum of a seventy-five (75) foot buffer between existing forestry uses and planned residential uses is required. This buffer shall be composed of significant natural vegetation or landscaped in a manner consistent with transitional screening 3 as referenced in section 23-5.5.4, and detailed in article 6, design standards manual. This buffer may be incorporated as part of the rural preservation area requirement for the site.

(3)

Rural view shed preservation: This alternative is intended to preserve and protect the rural character of the county and its scenic resources.

i.

Development of all structures shall be located on the parcel in such a way to screen them from view of the road. This may be accomplished using any of the following methods:

a.

Locate all new development outside the view shed. A view shed analysis shall be conducted to delineate the rural view shed from the road (distance measured in feet).

b.

If the proposed development is located within the identified view shed, then all structures shall be at least seventy-five (75) feet from the ultimate VDOT right-of-way.

ii.

Except for the driveway, septic requirements, building footprint, and a perimeter of thirty (30) feet around the structure none of the existing vegetation on a residential lot within the view shed shall be removed.

iii.

In cases where the structure becomes visible due to the construction requirements (as cited above), transitional screening 3 shall be required as referenced in section 23-5.5.4, and detailed in article 6, design standards manual.

(4)

Lakefront preservation: This alternative is intended to preserve and protect the water quality and scenic resources of Lake Anna.

i.

Preserve and improve water quality of existing perennial or intermittent streams by providing a fifty (50) foot rural preservation area which is centered along the stream channel as identified on USGS Quad maps.

ii.

Provide a lake-front node of rural preservation area to serve as a focal point and common recreation area for the development. The lake-front node shall be a minimum of two (2) acres in size and shall be adequately sized to meet the needs of the development. This lake-front node shall feature a minimum water frontage on Lake Anna of two hundred (200) feet, shall feature access to Lake Anna and shall be designed to include community gathering area(s) such as a picnic shelter, tot lot, community pier, and similar types of facilities.

iii.

All lake-front development shall be subject to a one hundred (100) foot setback from Lake Anna.

iv.

Lots which have a common boundary line with the lake front may have a lot size of as little as one (1) acre as long as the lot is of sufficient size to accommodate necessary well(s), drain field(s) (including required reserve area), and the house site outside of required setbacks. Overall density within the development shall not exceed one (1) unit per two (2) acres.

v.

Except for the driveway, septic requirements, building footprint, a perimeter of thirty (30) feet around the structure, and vistas/sight lines, none of the existing vegetation on a residential lot shall be removed.

vi.

If there are surface water sources on the property a dry hydrant shall be installed to provide fire protection.

(e)

Maximum density. For purposes of computing density, the PRR district is divided into the following sub districts in which the residential density is limited as follows:

1.

PRR-1: One (1) dwelling unit per ten (10) acres.

The mixed use (MU) district creates a flexible approach to development, to include infill and redevelopment, by allowing a variety of interrelated and compatible commercial, office, residential, civic, recreational, and entertainment uses in a pedestrian-oriented neighborhood setting based on, but not limited to the following principles:

(1)

Connectivity of road networks, including connectivity of new local streets with existing local streets;

(2)

Connected pedestrian networks and pedestrian-friendly road design;

(3)

Reduced front and side yard building setbacks;

(4)

Mixed-use neighborhoods, including mixed housing types; and

(5)

Respects the character of adjacent properties and surrounding neighborhoods.

(Ord. No. 23-150, 9-25-12)

Unless expressly provided otherwise, any provision of this division that conflicts with another provision of the zoning ordinance or other applicable ordinance or regulation shall be deemed to control to the extent of such conflict.

(Ord. No. 23-150, 9-25-12)

(1)

To meet the intent and purpose of the district, the following sub-districts are established:

a.

Residential attached (MU-1). The MU-1 sub-district is a residential district that permits detached and attached houses. The district also includes provision for nonresidential uses that may complement or help provide services to the residences.

b.

Residential townhouse (MU-2). The MU-2 sub-district is a more intensive residential district than the MU-1 sub-district. In addition to detached houses and attached houses, the MU-2 sub-district permits townhouses. The district also includes provision for nonresidential uses that may complement or help provide services to the residences.

c.

Residential mixed use (MU-3). In addition to detached houses, attached houses and townhouses, the MU-3 sub-district permits apartments. The sub-district also includes provisions for limited retail and office uses in addition to provisions for other nonresidential uses established in the lower intensity MU-1 and MU-2 sub-districts.

d.

Mixed use low (MU-4). The MU-4 sub-district is a mixed use district that permits retail, office and residential uses in a variety of building types up to four (4) stories in height. Residential configurations include attached houses, townhouses, and apartments on upper floors of mixed use buildings.

e.

Mixed use high (MU-5). The MU-5 sub-district is the highest intensity mixed use sub-district permitting retail, office and residential uses in a variety of building types. Maximum height in the district shall be established in the generalized development plan (GDP) adopted at the time of rezoning. Residential configurations include townhouses, and apartments on upper floors of mixed use buildings.
