PURPOSE: To rezone the properties known as 710 and 712 West Fells Street, 1705 and 1705 ½ Chamberlayne Avenue and a portion of 1707 Chamberlayne Avenue from the M-1 Light Industrial District to the B-6 Mixed-Use Business District and the properties known as a portion of 1707 Chamberlayne Avenue and 1716 and 1718 Roane Street from the R-53 Multi-Family Residential District to the B-6 Mixed-Use Business District.
REASON: The applicant is requesting to rezone a total of seven parcels from the M-1 Light Industrial District and R-53 Multi-Family Residential District to the B-6 Mixed-Use Business District to enable a residential development on the property.
RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with the requirements of the City Charter and the Zoning Ordinance, the City Planning Commission will review this request and make a recommendation to City Council. This item will be scheduled for consideration by the Commission at its December 3, 2018, meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of seven parcels totaling approximately 1.5 acres, located in the Chamberlayne Industrial Center neighborhood, in the block bound by School Street, Roane Street, West Fells Street and Chamberlayne Parkway. 1705 ½ and 1707 Chamberlayne Avenue are improved with a parking area and a one-story, commercial building with 784 square feet of floor area. 1716 and 1718 Roane Street are vacant. 1705 Chamberlayne Avenue is currently improved with a vacant warehouse/retail building containing 5,690 square feet of floor area. 710 and 712 West Fells St are unimproved.
1705 Chamberlayne Avenue, 1705 ½ Chamberlayne Avenue, the western portion of 1707 Chamberlayne Avenue, 710 West Fells Street, and 712 West Fells Street are zoned in the M-1 Light Industrial District. The eastern portion of 1707 Chamberlayne Avenue, 1716 Roane Street, and 1718 Roane Street are zoned in the R-53 Multi-Family Residential District.
The Richmond Master Plan recommends Community Commercial land use for the subject property. “Primary uses included office, retail, personal service and other commercial and service uses, intended to provide the shopping and service needs of residents of a number of nearby neighborhoods or a section of the City. As compared to Neighborhood Commercial areas, this category includes a broader range of uses of greater scale and intensity but are also compatible with nearby residential areas (p. 134).
The 2015 VUU/Chamberlayne Neighborhood Plan recommends Community Commercial land use for the portion of the subject property currently zoned M-1, and recommends Multi-Family Residential land use for the portion of the subject property zoned R-53. The Plan recommends UB-2 or B-6 zoning to accomplish Community Commercial land use, and R-63 zoning to accomplish Multi-Family Residential land use.
Properties to the north, west, and south of the subject property are zoned M-1. Properties to the east are zoned R-53. A mix of commercial, industrial, vacant, public-open space, and multi-family land uses are present in the vicinity.
FISCAL IMPACT / COST: The Department of Planning and Development Review does not anticipate any impact to the City’s budget for this or future fiscal years.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Staff time for processing the request; preparation of draft ordinance; and publishing, mailing and posting of public notices.
