PURPOSE: To rezone the properties known as 6001 Grove Avenue, 5903 Grove Avenue, 5902 Three Chopt Road, 10 Maple Avenue, 6 Maple Avenue, 5606 Cary Street Road, and 5604 Cary Street Road from the R-1 - Single-Family Residential District to the IC - Institutional District (conditional).
REASON: The applicant has requested a rezoning to the IC - Institutional District (conditional) in order to accommodate continued operation and future improvements to the educational institution known as St. Catherine’s School.
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 August 15, 2016, 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 of land comprising a total of approximately 13 acres fronting on Grove Avenue, Maple Avenue, Cary Street Road, St. Catherine's Lane, and Three Chopt Road in the Three Chopt neighborhood of the Far West planning district. The property is improved with an educational institution known as St. Catherine's School.
Six of the seven parcels of the subject property are designated by the Master Plan for Institutional land use. "Primary uses include institutional uses, such as places of worship, private schools, universities, museums, hospitals and other care facilities. Typically this land use category depicts larger scale uses, while small- scale uses of this type are incorporated within the predominant surrounding land use designations" (p. 135). One parcel, 5902 Three Chopt Road, the location of the Head of School's residence, is designated by the Master Plan for Single-Family (Low Density) land use. The primary use for this land use designation is "single-family detached dwellings at densities up to seven units per acre" and "includes residential support uses such as schools, places of worship, neighborhood parks and recreation facilities, and limited public and semi-public uses" (p. 133).
Specifically tor St. Catherine's School, the Master Plan States: "Expansion of St. Catherine's School should be limited to the ongoing acquisition of isolated single family residential properties along the north side of Grove Avenue. Property acquisitions along this section of Grove Avenue should not result in a change to the existing residential use" (p. 184).
The subject property is currently zoned R-1 -Single-Family Residential. Properties to the south and west are located in the same R-1 district. Properties to the east are zoned R-4 - Single-Family Residential, properties to the northeast are zoned UB-P01 - Urban Business (Grove/Libbie Parking Overlay), and properties to the north are zoned R-2 - Single-Family Residential.
A mix of residential (predominantly single-family), institutional, public-open space (Country Club of Virginia), government (fire station), and commercial, mix-use, and office (Libbie/Grove Service Area) land uses are present in the vicinity of the subject property.
