RE: Amendment to the Beaufont Oaks Community Unit Plan to amend the permitted uses to include a church use.
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To amend and reordain Ord. No. 80-260-81-41, adopted Mar. 9, 1981, as previously amended by Ord. Nos. 81-152-138, adopted August 24, 1981, 84-110-83, adopted May 29, 1984, 89-318-295, adopted Nov. 13, 1989, 2006-26-52, adopted Feb. 27, 2006, 2006-260-263, adopted Oct. 23, 2006, and 2012-163-164, adopted October 8, 2012 concerning the Beaufont Oaks Community Unit Plan, to amend the permitted uses to include a church use.
REASON: The applicant has requested the permitted uses for the Beaufont Oaks Community Unit Plan be amended to include church use in order to allow a building at 6900 West Carnation Street to be used as a church.
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 September 5, 2017, meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property, known as 6900 West Carnation Street, is a component of the Beaufont Oaks Community Unit Plan. The underlying zoning of the subject property is R-3 (Single-Family Residential). The subject property consists of a 1.58 acre parcel improved with a building constructed, per tax assessment records, in 1984 and was formerly used as a school and daycare center. The subject property is located in the Hioaks neighborhood of the Midlothian planning district.
The proposed church would occupy the existing building and all parking would be accommodated by the existing on-site parking area.
The City of Richmond's Master Plan designates the subject property for General Office development. “Primary uses are professional, business and administrative offices and medical and dental clinics...In some cases, multi-family may be a secondary use; in areas of higher intensity, incidental convenience retail and personal service uses may be included” (p. 134).
Adjacent properties to the east, south, and west are contained within the boundaries of the Beaufont Oaks Community Unit Plan and are within the R-3 zoning district. Property to the north is also within the R-3 zoning district but is not a component of the Community Unit Plan. A mix of vacant, office, institutional, and multi-family residential 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.
