Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: To adopt a resolution declaring the intent to reimburse expenditures from future bond proceeds BACKGROUND: Redevelopment of the Hollins Library, renovations to the Hollins Fire Station, extension of sewer services, additional infrastructure at Explore Park, roadway infrastructure, and parks restroom facilities are projects in the County Capital Improvement Plan adopted on May 27, 2025. Any funds currently being spent on these projects can be reimbursed to the County at a later date with bond proceeds, if the County declares its intention to do so before the funds are spent. DISCUSSION: The County intends to fund all of these projects with a scheduled bond issuance arising from the Joint County and School Capital Financing Plan. The County allocation under the joint plan allows for a County bond issuance in 2025 -2026. It is the intent to participate in the Virginia Resource Authority Fall 2025 and/or Spring 2026 pooled bond Page 2 of 2 issuance's. Detail on each project is outlined in the attached document titled "Bond Funded CIP Projects for FY25-26. The attached resolution will allow the County to reimburse itself from future bond proceeds at a later date. This resolution does not authorize the project or appropriate any funds to the project at this time; it merely gives the flexibility to include current expenditures in the future bond issuance, if the County chooses to do so. FISCAL IMPACT: This resolution gives the County the option to include expenditures currently being made associated with the construction projects. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the attached reimbursement resolution for construction and/or renovations for the Hollins Library, Hollins Fire Station, extension of sewer services, Phase II of infrastructure at Explore Park, roadway infrastructure, and parks restroom facilities.

Construction funding in FY 2026, is slated to redevelop the existing Hollins Library, including selective demolition and appropriate building additions, consistent with a service model already implemented at the South County, Glenvar, and Vinton locations. The redeveloped Hollins Library will be an inviting public space, less architectural in nature, easing long-term maintenance issues, focusing on sight lines, and provide maker spaces and technology focused areas. C o u n t y o f R o a n o k e , V i r g i n i a Buildings and FacilitiesCapital Improvement Program FY 2026 – FY 2035 Hollins Library Redevelopment (continued) Project Description and Justification: Hollins Library is the only major branch in the Roanoke County library system that has not received comprehensive renovations or replacement. An expansion 30 years ago retained the original building but melding the old and new square footage was not completely successful. Much of the layout and infrastructure hamper service delivery. The redevelopment project proposes a technologically advanced library that may include enhanced security, up-to-date electronic resources, public workstations, an improved children’s area, scaled technology for children, a separate teen/tween room, meeting spaces, study rooms, a creativity workshop, and well-lit browsing areas. After 50 years of heavy use, Hollins Library remains one of the busiest libraries in the Roanoke Valley and the western Virginia region. It is a mainstay of the Library system, averaging almost 700 visitors per day pre- pandemic. This branch supports educational and informational needs across a wide spectrum. Additional Operating Impacts: The planned redevelopment of the facility may increase citizen usage significantly. Higher demand may raise utility and staff costs. With increased usage, additional funds may be generated by rentals and events. Additional operating funding will not be required until the completion of construction. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: Recommendations from the Library Regional Comprehensive Study (2004-05; 5:4-7) identified Hollins Library as an ideal “Full-Service Center Library.” Project Highlights and Key Milestones: • The Hollins Library opened in 1971 and was expanded and remodeled in 1993. • Through the CIP process, alternative solutions have been proposed, including facility relocation to a new site, new library construction at the current site, and redeveloping the existing building and site. • Space programming and concept design were completed in the summer of 2024. • An unsolicited PPEA proposal was received in late 2024, with a competing proposal being accepted in the spring of 2025. • $11.55 million in bonds in FY 2026 will be used for construction.

Initially constructed in 1981 and expanded in 1999, this 40+ year-old facility requires updated space planning and substantial renovations. C o u n t y o f R o a n o k e , V i r g i n i a Buildings and FacilitiesCapital Improvement Program FY 2026 – FY 2035 Hollins Fire Station Renovations (continued) Project Description and Justification: In FY 2026, $5.3 million in funding is proposed to renovate the current Hollins Fire Station. Improvements to the approximately 14,000 square feet station will feature a day room, kitchen, dining room, fitness area, bunk rooms and private toilet facilities to accommodate gender separation and a training room. It is essential to implement design elements that improve the overall health and wellness of the company, including reducing carcinogen exposure through space organization, strategic ventilation, and designated gear decontamination areas. Additional Operating Impacts: There are no additional operating impacts identified at this time. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: This project conforms with the Community Strategic Plan initiative to Ensure Citizen Safety, specifically the major component of Public Safety Facilities & Equipment. History and Key Milestones: • Text.

Useful Life: 50+ Years Magisterial District: Windsor Hills Magisterial District Project Status: New Project Summary: Sewer Improvements have undergone a comprehensive study. This initiative's primary objective is to extend sewer services down Route 221. Furthermore, the existing water and sewer infrastructure demonstrated in the plan possesses the capacity to accommodate future economic development within the Back Creek watershed. This potential expansion takes advantage of the nearby 24" South Loop water transmission main, and the local topography facilitates gravity-based sewage conveyance into the existing WVWA collection system. C o u n t y o f R o a n o k e , V i r g i n i a Buildings and FacilitiesCapital Improvement Program FY 2026 – FY 2035 Extension of Sewer Services (continued) Project Description and Justification: Roanoke County, like many other parts of the country, is grappling with a housing crisis. During the effort to identify suitable land for addressing this issue, a significant challenge emerged: the absence of accessible public water and sewer infrastructure. To tackle this problem, the project aims to extend sewer access to an area of the county that currently lacks such service. Additional Operating Impacts: This is a joint project with the WVWA. No additional operational impacts have been identified at this time. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: This project conforms with the Community Strategic Plan initiative to Position Roanoke County for Future Economic Growth and Promote Neighborhood Connections. History and Key Milestones: • Text. Project Highlights and Key Milestones: • The proposed project will complement the water project currently underway on Route 221. • The water project is in partnership with Western Virginia Water Authority.

The first phase of the project funds water and sewer connections, design of internal park water and sewer systems, design of the road system, bike skills park, building repairs, land studies, broadband connections, land purchase, and road paving. These infrastructure projects were necessary to attract private development. The second round of request for proposals were issued in November of 2018 for additional outdoor adventure themed services and food and beverage for Brugh Tavern. Roanoke County awarded a contract in the first half of calendar year 2019 to expand services by private vendors at Explore Park. The additional Phase II funding in FY 2026 will focus on expanding parking at Explore Park to support park vendors and events. Additional Operating Impacts: Future operating impacts are anticipated to be offset by revenue received from public-private partnerships. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: This project is consistent with the general goals, objectives, and policies of the Roanoke County Community Plan, Mount Pleasant Comprehensive Plan and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Comprehensive Master Plan for Parks and Facilities. Project Highlights and Key Milestones: • Roanoke County signed 99- year lease of Explore Park in 2013. • Explore Park Master Plan was completed in FY 2016 and adopted by the Board of Supervisors in FY 2017. • First private vendors opened their businesses at Explore Park in 2018. • Water and Sewer construction completed in FY 2019. • County awarded $323,484 grant for improvements to mountain bike trail system in FY 2019 • Wi-Fi infrastructure expansion to provide expanded service within the park occurred in FY 2023 • Parking Lot 4 designed and built in FY 2022 and Parking Lot 5 designed and built in FY 2024. • Storm Ponds within the park brought into compliance in FY 2022 and FY 2025.

This project is proposed to fund design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of a left turn lane on Sanderson Drive approaching Shadwell Drive. C o u n t y o f R o a n o k e , V i r g i n i a TransportationCapital Improvement Program FY 2026 – FY 2035 Turn Lane Route 605 onto Route 601 (continued) Project Description and Justification: Development and redevelopment activities over 20 years between Williamson Road/Route 11, Read Mountain Road, Old Mountain Road, Shadwell Drive, and Hollins Road in Roanoke County and Botetourt County have increased traffic volumes on these two-lane-wide roadways. As a result of many complaints from residents and potential solutions discussed with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), a left turn lane along Sanderson Drive approaching Shadwell Drive was suggested. Roanoke County began a Safe Streets and Roads for All study in December 2023. The Hollins Road/Shadwell Drive and Sanderson Drive/Shadwell Drive intersections were identified as top ten high crash intersections for fatalities and serious injuries. The Board of Supervisors adopted the Safe Streets and Roads for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan as part of the Roanoke County 200 Plan on February 25, 2025. Additional Operating Impacts: It is anticipated that the constructed left turn lane will be accepted into the Secondary System of Highways for VDOT to maintain. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: The proposed project is in conformance with recommendations included in the 2024 Roanoke County 200 Plan. Project Highlights and Key Milestones: • 2019: Complaints received about Sanderson Drive traffic approaching Shadwell Drive. VDOT sketched a rough layout for a left turn lane that showed possible right-of-way impacts. • May 2024: Traffic Impact Analysis submitted for the proposed Beahm property rezoning. County staff conceptually designed a left turn layout based on VDOT’s sketch to help facilitate traffic flow in the area. • July 2024: Rezoning application submitted requesting to rezone 21 acres of the Beahm property from industrial to residential. • October 2024: Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning application with four proffers which included right- of-way needed for a left turn lane.

C o u n t y o f R o a n o k e , V i r g i n i a Building and FacilitiesCapital Improvement Program FY 2026 – FY 2035 Parks Restroom Facilities (continued) Project Description and Justification: This project would install four stick built or prefabricated seasonal (April – October) restroom buildings intended to replace the port-a-john program used to service park patrons at Goode, Stonebridge, Hollins and Green Hill parks. All four of these parks were highlighted by the Board of Supervisor as lacking restroom facilities on par with their other amenities or available in more popular regional parks. The usage of the four parks identified has increased since 2020 as community passive recreation use expanded and park amenities were added or rehabilitated. Additional Operating Impacts: Restrooms buildings would need to be serviced and stocked with supplies twice weekly. Conformance with Plans, Policies, and Legal Obligations: This project is consistent with the general goals, objectives, and policies of the Roanoke County Community Plan, and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Comprehensive Master Plan for Parks and Facilities. Project Highlights and Key Milestones: • The usage of the four parks identified has increased since 2020. • Restroom buildings intended to replace the port-a-john program currently being used. • Included in FY26 CIP Program.

R E C I T A L S A. Seller is the owner of a certain parcel of real property located at 0 Mount Chestnut Road in Roanoke County, Virginia, bearing Roanoke County Tax Map Number 075.00-02-38.00- 0000 and containing approximately 5.00 acres (“the Property”). B. Purchaser desires to purchase the Property from Seller, and Seller desires to sell the Property to Purchaser, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. C. These recitals are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. W I T N E S S E T H Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: (1) Sale and Purchase. In consideration of the sum of Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00) (“the Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller in cash (by wire transfer of good funds or bank check) at the Closing hereinafter provided for. Seller hereby sells, and agrees to grant and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby purchases, and agrees to accept conveyance of, the Property from Seller, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. 2 (2) Relevant Documentation. Seller shall provide any relevant document it has in its possession regarding the condition or title to the Property within five (5) days of the effective date of this Agreement. (3) Right of Access for Inspections. (a) Between the Effective Date and the date which is ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (“the Inspection Period”), Purchaser and its agents and contractors shall have the right of free access to and entry upon the Property for the purpose of making such surveys, assessments (including an environmental assessment), inspections, surface and subsurface explorations, tests, borings, and other site evaluations and analyses as Purchaser may desire to make. Purchaser shall (i) indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage, or liability arising out of or resulting from the exercise by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents or contractors of the rights granted by this paragraph 3, to the extent allowed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and (ii) if Closing does not occur under this Agreement, at its expense, restore the Property substantially to its condition immediately prior to those tests and inspections. (b) If Closing does not occur, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of the results of any and all such surveys, tests, and studies not later than ten (10) days after termination or expiration of the Inspection Period. (c) Purchaser may, at any time prior to the end of the Inspection Period (including on the final day of the Inspection Period), by written notice to Seller terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser 3 shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate the Agreement under this paragraph 3. (d) Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Inspection Period for thirty (30) days upon written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the original Inspection Period. (4) Title and Survey. Purchaser shall, at its expense, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Inspection Period (if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement during the Inspection Period) obtain such examination of the title to the Property and such survey of the Property as Purchaser shall deem necessary or advisable. Should any title examination or survey indicate that Seller cannot convey to Purchaser good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, other than because of liens in a total amount less than the Purchase Price which can be satisfied by the payment of money deducted from the Purchase Price at Closing, then Purchaser shall, on or before the 60th day after the end of the Inspection Period (the “Title Review Period”), give Seller written notice of any conditions, restrictions or encumbrances which Purchaser will not waive (“the Title Exceptions”), and Seller will have a period of sixty (60) days from its receipt of such notice to take such action as Seller wishes to take to cure the Title Exceptions (the “Title Cure Period”). “Cure” of any Title Exception may be accomplished either by resolving and removing the Title Exception or by obtaining the agreement of Purchaser’s title insurer to insure Purchaser against loss resulting from the exception, on terms reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If all Title Exceptions have not been cured within the Title Cure Period, then Purchaser shall have the option either (i) to terminate this Agreement, or (ii) to allow this Agreement to continue in effect and to proceed with Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event that Purchaser fails to notify Seller before the end of the Title Review Period of any Title Exceptions, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Title Exceptions and shall have waived its right to terminate the Agreement under this paragraph 4.

Seller shall pay the cost of preparation of the deed, any required certificate of non-foreign status, any applicable IRS Forms, any recording tax applicable to grantors, and its own attorneys’ fees. Any applicable real estate taxes shall be prorated as of the date of the Closing. (6) Risk of Loss. If after the expiration of the Inspection Period (and Purchaser not having elected to terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period), but prior to Closing the Property is materially damaged by a casualty or the environmental condition of the Property is materially and adversely changed (and such change is not due to the acts of Purchaser or its agents or contractors), then, Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days within which to notify Seller whether it wishes to (a) proceed to close and be entitled to an assignment of all insurance proceeds at Closing; or (b) terminate this Agreement, which shall have no further force or effect except for any liability pursuant to the indemnity provisions of paragraph 3. For purposes of this paragraph 5 6, the Property shall be considered materially damaged if the cost to cure exceeds $5,000.00. Seller agrees that if the Property is damaged within thirty (30) days of the Closing date because of a non- material insured casualty for which Seller has not commenced repair, then Seller will assign the insurance proceeds associated with that casualty to Purchaser at Closing. (7) Possession. Seller shall deliver exclusive possession of the Property to Purchaser on the date of Closing and shall, prior to Closing, remove any personal property from the Property. (8) Assignment. With the agreement of Seller, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing date, in which case it shall give Seller written notice of assignment stating the name and address of the assignee. In the event of an assignment, the assignee shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement and Purchaser shall remain liable under this Agreement notwithstanding such assignment.

(b) If Seller is ready, willing and able to close on the date set for Closing, but Purchaser fails to close, then Purchaser shall be in default under this Agreement.

(A) Intent: The intent of these provisions is to regulate the placement of new and replacement broadcasting towers within Roanoke County. These provisions provide broadcasting tower applicants, property owners, and all other Roanoke County citizens clear guidance on the official policies and standards of the County.

In the interest of preserving and enhancing the scenic and natural beauty of Roanoke County it is the goal of the county to achieve a long term reduction in the number of broadcasting towers within the county, and where possible, to achieve a reduction in the height of existing broadcasting towers throughout the county, with special emphasis on towers located along or near the ridgetops of major mountains and land forms. In addition, it is the goal of the county, where possible, to achieve the relocation of existing broadcasting towers and associated utility and access corridors which have a high visual impact on scenic resources. To this end, the county will work cooperatively with broadcasting tower owners and applicants and land owners to achieve these goals. It is the official policy of the county to encourage and promote the collocation of antennas on existing public and private structures within the county. To achieve this end, the county encourages all wireless communication providers to locate new antennas on existing structures. Permits for new broadcasting towers should only be requested when no other reasonable alternative exists for locating needed antennas. Page 12 of 23 When new broadcasting towers are proposed as a last alternative, the requested broadcasting tower location, height and design should be chosen to protect and enhance the scenic and natural beauty of Roanoke County. Broadcasting tower locations at elevations lower than surrounding ridge lines are preferred. The use of stealth designs should be considered for any new broadcasting tower. It is the intent of the county to fully comply with all of the applicable provisions of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable federal and state laws as said laws address and preserve Roanoke County's zoning authority and provide to the communication industry the right and responsibility to provide communication services within their service areas. (A) General standards: 1. The maximum height of any proposed broadcasting tower and associated antenna shall be made as a condition of the special use permit, but in no case shall any broadcasting tower and antenna exceed one hundred ninety-nine (199) feet in height. Applicants shall request the lowest broadcasting tower and antenna height necessary to accomplish their specific communication objectives. 2. The setback for any proposed broadcasting tower shall, at a minimum, conform to the requirements for principal structures for the proposed zoning district. However, in no case shall the minimum setback from the base of the broadcasting tower to any residential structure on an adjoining lot be less than forty (40) percent of the height of the tower, measured from the closest structural member of the broadcasting tower (excluding guy lines). Guy lines shall be exempt from the minimum setback requirements in side and rear yards for the respective zoning district, but shall comply with the setback requirements for the front yard. 3. The minimum setback from any property line abutting a road right-of-way for any other building or structure associated with a broadcasting tower shall be fifty (50) feet. Such buildings or structures shall be located a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet from any other property line. 4. More than one (1) broadcasting tower shall be permitted on a lot provided all applicable requirements have been met including setback requirements. 5. Broadcasting towers shall not be illuminated with any type of lighting apparatus, unless such lighting is a requirement of the FAA or FCC. When lighting is proposed to conform to federal requirement, the county shall contact the federal agency to verify the necessity of lighting, and to determine the minimal amount and type of lighting necessary to comply with federal guidelines. Security lighting, or a "down lighting" design may be installed on buildings and structures associated with a broadcasting tower. In no case shall any lighting violate section 30-94 of this ordinance. Page 13 of 23 6. Any proposed broadcasting tower within two (2) miles from any general or commercial airport or located at a ground elevation at or above two thousand (2,000) feet, average mean sea level, shall be referred to the appropriate regional office of the FAA for review and comment prior to filing an application for a special use permit. 7. All broadcasting towers shall comply with any additional requirements established in the airport overlay district in section 30-72 of this ordinance, and the emergency communications overlay district in section 30-73 8. Any broadcasting tower approved shall be structurally designed to carry sufficient loading including any additional equipment necessary from other vendors/providers who collocate on the broadcasting tower. 9. A monopole broadcasting tower design is recommended. The board may approve an alternative broadcasting tower design if it finds that an alternative type of structure has less of a visual impact on the surrounding community and Roanoke County, and/or based upon accepted technical and engineering data a monopole design is not technically feasible. Cost shall not be a criteria for determining broadcasting tower design. 10. By applying and being granted the special use permit, the applicant and the owner of the land agree to dismantle and remove the broadcasting tower and associated facilities from the site within ninety days of the broadcasting tower no longer being used for wireless communications. Dismantling and removal from the site shall only be required after notice by the County. A bond or similar performance guarantee may be required as part of the special use permit approval. Said guarantee will be in an amount sufficient to ensure removal of the tower and all associated facilities and the reclamation of the property and road, access and utility corridors to a condition that existed prior to tower construction. 11. All broadcasting tower structures and associated hardware, antennas, and facilities shall be a flat matted finish so as to reduce visibility and light reflection unless otherwise required by the FCC or FAA. 12. No business signs shall be allowed on the property identifying the name of, or services offered by, any business associated with the broadcasting tower. 13. Antennas may be installed on any existing structure within the county, without the necessity of obtaining a special use permit, provided said antenna does not meet the definition of a broadcasting tower, does not increase the height of the existing structure more than ten (10) feet, and does not result in the structure and antenna exceeding the maximum structure height for that zoning district. Page 14 of 23 14. Any temporary broadcasting tower erected for the purpose of system design or testing provided the temporary broadcasting tower is erected for a period not to exceed twenty-one (21) days shall be permitted. In addition, in declared local emergency situations, the county administrator shall be authorized to allow the temporary installation of a broadcasting tower for the duration of the local emergency. A zoning permit pursuant to section 30-9 of this ordinance shall be applied for and approved prior to erecting any temporary or emergency tower. (B) Applicability: 1. These standards shall apply to all new and replacement broadcasting towers within Roanoke County with the exception that new and replacement broadcasting towers and associated antenna not exceeding thirty (30) feet in height and located within any commercial or industrial zoning district shall be permitted by right provided: a. The proposed tower is a monopole type design; b. The general area of the proposed tower is currently served by above ground utilities including electric power and telephone poles; and c. All other use and design standards for the construction of the broadcasting tower and associated facilities are met. 2. No modification to increase the height, size, type or location of any existing broadcasting tower or associated facilities, excluding antennas, shall be made unless such modification results in the full compliance of the broadcasting tower and facilities with all of the requirements of this ordinance. 3. Antennas may be installed on any existing structure within the county, without the necessity of obtaining a special use permit, provided said antenna does not meet the definition of a broadcasting tower, does not increase the height of the existing structure more than ten (10) feet, and does not result in the structure and antenna exceeding the maximum structure height for that zoning district. 4. These provisions shall not apply to any temporary broadcasting tower erected for the purpose of system design or testing provided the temporary broadcasting tower is erected for a period not to exceed twenty-one (21) days. In addition, in declared local emergency situations, the county administrator shall be authorized to allow the temporary installation of a broadcasting tower for the duration of the local emergency.

Crawford State Archivist Teresa Hash Dobbins President, Virginia Court Clerks' Association Page 1 of 3 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. H.5 MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: ISSUE: BACKGROUND: which collectively make up “Explore Park.” In 2013, Roanoke County signed a 99 year coverage for the VRFA’s protection, and to facilitate and fund the operations of the Page 2 of 3 in the region as well as tourists. Roanoke County has also spent over $7,000,000.00 in non-capital support of Explore Park since 2013 and has an annual Explore Park operations budget in excess of $1,000,000.00. These efforts by Roanoke County have reinvigorated Explore Park over the last 12 years through public-private investment, programs, camping, biking, hiking, and special events, and have grown park attendance from over 30,000 visitors in 2013 to more than 250,000 visitors in 2023. Roanoke County wishes to fully implement the park master plan through additional Roanoke County investment and through attraction of additional private investment and additional public-private partnerships. However, the current land ownership arrangement by the VRFA is an ongoing barrier to major potential investments within Explore Park. In order to one day acquire Explore Park, Roanoke County (with joint support from Roanoke City and Bedford County) has urged the General Assembly to adopt legislation authorizing Roanoke County to acquire the Explore Park parcels in both Roanoke County and Bedford County from the VRFA. Efforts to urge the General Assembly to adopt legislation authorizing Roanoke County to acquire the Explore Park parcels from the VRFA were productive, and on March 19, 2025 the General Assembly adopted House Bill 2321 amending the Code of Virginia by adding § 10.1-1623 which allows for the board of the VRFA to transfer all such property owned by the VRFA to the locality in which the majority of such property is located upon a finding that it is in the best interest of those served by the VRFA to divest itself of such property. The majority of the property owned by the VRFA is located in Roanoke County. DISCUSSION: Pursuant to authority set forth in § 10.1-1623(A) of the Code of Virginia, it is expected that on July 30, 2025 the VRFA will determine by resolution that it is in the best interest of those served by the VRFA to divest itself of all real property owned by the VRFA constituting Explore Park and to transfer such property to Roanoke County. Roanoke County staff and representatives of the VRFA have drafted a quitclaim deed effectuating the conveyance of such properties, and have also drafted an agreement which provides for Roanoke County to continue providing the same financial and administrative support to the VRFA until June 30, 2026. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item other than the amounts the Board of Supervisors have already appropriated for Explore Park purposes in the fiscal year 2026 budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Page 3 of 3 Staff recommends that the Board approve the first reading of this ordinance and schedule this matter for a second reading at the Board's August 19, 2025 meeting. 1 PREPARED BY: Rachel W.

Page 1 of 2 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. M.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 22, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Shelley Friend to rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District, to allow for a private stable located at 1709 Mayfield Drive, Vinton Magisterial District. SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson Director of Planning APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Second reading and public hearing to rezone approximately 4.51 acres of property from residential to agricultural. BACKGROUND: • The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines ‘stable, private’ as “the keeping, breeding, or raising of horses or ponies exclusively for the personal use and enjoyment of the owner or occupant of the property or the riding of horses or ponies by the owner or occupant of the property and their guests”. • The proposed use of a ‘stable, private’ is not permitted in the R -2, Medium Density Residential Districts, but is permitted by right in the AR, Agricultural/Residential District. DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on July 1, 2025. No citizens spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the existing and proposed accessory structures on the property, number of horses proposed with the private stable, fencing on the property, previous agriculture use on Page 2 of 2 the property and in the general area, adjacent property recently rezoned for agricultural purposes, surrounding land uses, and the future land use designation. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2 to AR. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact on this agenda item. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an ordinance to rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District. STAFF REPORT Petitioner: Shelley Friend Request: Rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR Agricultural/Residential District Location: Tax Parcels: 1709 Mayfield Drive #079.03-05-52.00-0000; #079.03-05-53.00-0000; #079.03-05-54.00-0000; and #079.03- 05-51.00-0000 Proposed Proffers: None Shelley Friend is petitioning to rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District, located at 1709 Mayfield Drive in the Vinton Magisterial District. The intention is to construct a private stable accessory to the existing single-family dwelling. The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designations of this area as Development. Development is a future land use area where most new neighborhood development will occur, including large-scale planned developments which mix residential with retail and office uses. Innovation in housing design and environmental sensitivity in site development is a key objective. Clustered developments are encouraged as is the use of greenways and bike and pedestrian trails. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Development future land use designation. 1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines ‘stable, private’ as “the keeping, breeding, or raising of horses or ponies exclusively for the personal use and enjoyment of the owner or occupant of the property or the riding of horses or ponies by the owner or occupant of the property and their guests”.

A shelter shall be required for the keeping of a horse or pony. 3. No more than one (1) horse or pony shall be permitted for every two (2) fenced acres. 4. Stables, corrals, and other confined areas shall be setback at least fifty (50) feet from any property line. For the purpose of this section, perimeter fencing of a yard shall not be considered a confined area. All confined areas and fencing shall be securely constructed. 5. Private stables shall prepare and follow a management plan for responsible and environmentally safe management of all animal wastes. Such plan shall be approved, when required by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water. Animal 6. A plot plan shall be required showing the location of all structures and the location and type of fencing. 7. A special use permit shall be required on lots less than five (5) acres in an R-1 zoning district. The existing use of a single-family dwelling, detached, and the proposed use of a ‘stable, private’ are both permitted by right in the AR, Agricultural/Residential District. All development and use of the property must be in conformance with Section 30-34-3 (AR development standards) of the Roanoke County Zoning 2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background – The existing site is comprised of four parcels that total approximately 4.51 acres and contains one single-family dwelling and two agriculture related accessory structures. Roanoke County Real Estate records indicate the single-family dwelling was built in 1950. The current property owners purchased the property in August of 2021. In early 2025, the applicant approached Planning Department staff regarding the process for constructing a private stable and was advised that a private stable is not permitted in the R-2, Medium Density Residential District, at which point the applicant proceeded with submittal of this rezoning request. established deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubbery bordering the south edge of the property boundary. There are scattered deciduous shade trees around the single-family dwelling, and a singular evergreen tree is the easternmost pasture. The western portion of the property, where the single-family dwelling is located adjacent to Mayfield Drive, is generally flat and is the highest point of the property at 1,180’. The eastern portion of the parcel slopes downward toward the southeastern tip, decreasing from 1,180’ to 1,120’. between Bandy Road and Jae Valley Road. The intersection with Jae Valley Road to the east is located about half a mile from the subject property. The intersection with Bandy Road to the west is located less than a quarter mile from the subject property, and the boundary line that separates the County of Roanoke and the City of Roanoke is approximately a quarter mile to the west. On the southside of Mayfield Drive to the east of the subject property, parcels primarily consist of single- family dwellings and are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, with the exception of the property directly to the east, which received approval for a rezoning request on February 25, 2025, to rezone from R- 1, Low Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District, for the purpose of using the property for agriculture. On the southside of Mayfield Drive between the subject property and Bandy Road to the west, parcels are zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential District, and primarily consist of single-family dwellings with the exception of a 6-unit duplex development on a parcel directly south of the subject property. Properties on the northside of Mayfield Drive across from the subject property are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, and primarily consist of single-family dwellings. Community Outreach – Approximately twenty (20) letters went out to adjoining property owners and tenants which contained the request, information about the subject parcel, instructions for how to submit comments and contact information for staff. No comments have been received to date. 3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture – The site has an existing single-family dwelling approximately 1,968 square feet in size, and two agriculture related outbuildings. There is existing fencing around portions of the property that are maintained as open grassy field. The concept plan shows that the existing fencing will be maintained while additional fencing will be constructed to completely enclose the portions of the property that are intended to be used as pastureland. In addition, the existing agriculture related outbuildings will be replaced each of which are asphalt paved. One entrance serves as a driveway for the single-family dwelling and is approximately 132’ in depth, while the other access point leads to one of the existing agriculture related Agencies Comments: The following agencies provided comments on this application: Office of Building Safety: No comments. Fire and Rescue: Fire and Rescue does not object to this proposal, and it does not affect the services we provide. General Services: No comments. Floodplain Review: No comments. Roanoke County Transportation: No comments. Virginia Department of Transportation: It appears from the information provided that granting a rezoning of this property for use as a private residence with horse farm will not adversely impact the VDOT right-of-way. Any future expansions or redevelopment of the parcel or alteration to the existing drive may require VDOT review, approval, and permitting. Western Virginia Water Authority: Water and sewer service is not currently available at this location. 4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designations of this area as Development. Development is a future land use area where most new neighborhood development will occur, including large-scale planned developments which mix residential with retail and office uses. Innovation in housing design and environmental sensitivity in site development is a key objective. Clustered developments are encouraged as is the use of greenways and bike and pedestrian trails. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Development land use designation. 5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS Shelley Friend is petitioning to rezone approximately 4.51 acres from R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District, located at 1709 Mayfield Drive in the Vinton Magisterial District. The intention is to construct a private stable accessory to the existing single-family dwelling. A Zoning Permit will be required prior to construction of the private stable, at which point the proposed building will be reviewed for compliance with the AR development standards as well as the use and design standards for private stables. The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designations of this area as Development. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Development future land use designation. CASE NUMBER: #4-6/2025 PREPARED BY: Sarah Gilmore HEARING DATES: PC: July 1, 2025 BOS: July 22, 2025 ATTACHMENTS: Application Materials Maps (Aerial, Zoning, Future Land Use) R-2 District Regulations AR District Regulations Development Future Land Use Designation Please explain how the request furthers the purpose of the Roanoke County Ordinance as well as the purpose found at the beginning of the applicable zoning district classification in the Zoning Ordinance. We are requesting to rezone our property from residential to agricultural. By rezoning, we will be contributing to the county's objectives of preserving agricultural lands. Ensuring that the land is utilized for farming and agricultural purposes will preserve the rural character of the property and community. Please explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the Roanoke County Community Plan. Upon purchasing our property in 2021, the land is truly what sold us. As a former horse farm with fields that were already fenced in for livestock, the Roanoke County property was the perfect place for our family. Our goal when purchasing was to relocate our two horses to the property after building a small horse barn. As history shows, the property has been utilized as a small horse farm, and we would love nothing more than to continue using the property with the same purpose. In addition, most of the surrounding properties are also used for agricultural purposes and future growth in the community does not align with further development. Please describe the impact(s) of the request of the property itself, the adjoining properties, and the surrounding area, as well as the impacts on public services and facilities, including water/sewer, roads, schools, parks/recreation and fire and rescue. There is no impact on public services, including water/sewer, roads, schools, parks/recreation, and/or fire and rescue.

SEC. 30-42. - R-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Sec. 30-42-1. - Purpose. The purpose of the R-2, medium density district is to establish areas in the county within the urban service area where existing low-middle to middle density residential development (one (1) to six (6) units per acre) is primarily located and land areas which appear generally appropriate for such development. These areas are consistent with the neighborhood conservation land use category, and where public services warrant, the development land use category as recommended in the comprehensive plan. This district is intended to provide reasonable protection to existing single family residential neighborhoods, while accommodating a diversity of alternative housing options. These areas are designated based on access to roads, sewer and water, and schools with suitable capacity to accommodate development at the stated density. Older neighborhoods where smaller platted lot sizes exist are also included where opportunities exist for additional in-fill development. (Ord. No. 042799-11, § 1f., 4-27-99; Ord.

SEC. 30-34. - AR AGRICULTURAL/RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Sec. 30-34-1. - Purpose. These areas are generally characterized by very low density residential and institutional uses mixed with smaller parcels that have historically contained agricultural uses, forest land and open space outside the urban service area. These areas provide an opportunity for rural living in convenient proximity to urban services and employment. Agricultural uses should be encouraged to be maintained. Over time, however, these areas are expected to become increasingly residential in character, with residential development becoming the dominant use over agricultural and more rural type uses. The purpose of this district, consistent with the Rural Village land use category in the comprehensive plan, is to maintain these areas essentially in their rural state, consistent with the level of services anticipated by the county. These areas are generally suitable for low density residential development and other compatible land uses. (Ord. No. 62795-10, 6-27-95; Ord. No. 042799-11, § 1f., 4-27-99; Ord.

Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Second reading and public hearing for a special use permit to operate a car wash in a commercial zoning district. BACKGROUND: • The petitioner has applied for a special use permit to operate a car wash (detailing business) along Colonial Avenue. • • The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a car wash as: “washing and cleaning of vehicles. Typical uses include automatic conveyor machines and self - service car washes.” • • A special use permit is required for a car wash in a C-2, High Intensity Commercial District. DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on July 1, 2025. Two (2)citizens spoke during the public hearing. Their concerns included: commercial Page 2 of 2 development adjacent to residential properties; increase in traffic; noise; water run -off; previous washing of cars outside the structure; number of car washes in the area; and previous uses on the property creating a nuisance to adjacent property owners. The Planning Commission discussed: the previous use of the property; car detailing use versus a typical car wash; operation of the business; C-2 by-right uses more intense than proposed use; development along Colonial Avenue; improvements made to the building since the previous use; surrounding land uses; and the future land use designation. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the special use permit for a car wash with the following conditions: . The car wash (detailing business) shall be conducted entirely indoors and limited to 1,258 square feet as shown on the concept plan. . Any new free standing light poles and lighting fixtures shall not exceed 14 feet in height. . There shall be no neon signage or electronic message boards on the property associated with the car wash use. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact on this agenda item. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an ordinance for a special use permit to operate a car wash in a C -2, High Intensity Commercial District, with the following conditions: . The car wash (detailing business) shall be conducted entirely indoors and limited to 1,258 square feet as shown on the concept plan. . Any new free standing light poles and lighting fixtures shall not exceed 14 feet in height. . There shall be no neon signage or electronic message boards on the property associated with the car wash use. STAFF REPORT Petitioner: Craighead & Associates Request: To obtain a special use permit to operate a car wash (detailing business) on approximately 0.71 acre of land zoned C-2, High Intensity Commercial District Location: Tax Parcel: 3644 Colonial Avenue #077.18-03-23.00-0000 Suggested Conditions: 1. The car wash (detailing business) shall be conducted entirely indoors and limited to 1,258 square feet as shown on the concept plan. 2. Any new free standing light poles and lighting fixtures shall not exceed 14 feet in height. 3. There shall be no neon signage or electronic message boards on the property associated with the car wash use. Craighead & Associates has applied for a special use permit to operate a car wash (detailing business) on approximately 0.71 acre of land zoned C-2, High Intensity Residential District. It is located at 3664 Colonial Drive in the Cave Spring Magisterial District. The petition involves utilizing the existing commercial building space, which measures 1,258 square feet. The Roanoke County 200 Plan designates the Future Land Use of this parcel as Transition. Transition is a future land use area that encourages the orderly development of high-frequency corridor frontage parcels, serving as a buffer between heavily trafficked corridors and lower intensity development, often residential. While high-intensity commercial developments are discouraged within these areas, small-scale coordinated retail uses and offices are suitable. The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Transition Future Land Use Designation. 1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS uses include automatic conveyor machines and self-service car washes.” Section 30-85-10 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance contains the following use and design standards for car wash: (A) General Standards: 1. All new car wash facilities, whether conveyor-operated or self-service, shall be equipped with a water recycling system to recycle at least eighty-five (85) percent of the water used. A special use permit is required for a car wash in C-2 districts. The business description submitted by the applicant is considered to most closely align with the use of a car wash by the Zoning Administrator. However, the business model presented in the application is less intensive than a general drive-thru or self- 2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background – The existing site is approximately 0.71 acre in size. The property features an existing building divided into three commercial spaces, constructed around 1960. An existing barber shop occupies one of these spaces, while the other two suites are currently vacant. An agent proposes using one of the empty commercial suites for automobile dealership (vehicle sales), which is a permitted use. The proposed use is a hand detailing business in the third suite, which a third party will operate. The applicant estimates that no more than 15 vehicles will be serviced per day, in addition to those at the automobile dealership. concerns. The property will not undergo any changes that would affect the building's footprint. The applicant has stated that no significant exterior improvements are planned currently, and the interior is generally set up to accommodate the proposed business activities. The property already has parking available in front and rear. The rear of the property features an existing fence and plantings that serve as a buffer for neighboring residential properties. Lane, and Lanewood Drive. The main entrance to the business fronts Colonial Avenue, but the garage door where detailing activities will be located faces the rear of the property. The property adjoins R-1 and C-2 zoned parcels, and it is located near C-1 and R-1 zoned parcels. The general character of the neighborhood is one of low-intensity mixed development, featuring single-family residences and various retail and service establishments within the vicinity of the property. The applicant does not foresee negative impacts on the surrounding community from the operation of the business. Community Outreach – Approximately twenty-three (23) letters went out to adjoining property owners and tenants which contained the request, information about the subject parcel, instructions for how to submit comments and contact information for staff. One adjoining property owner has approached county staff, concerned about the impact on his personal property and quality of life. 3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture – No changes are planned for the site layout or architecture. The finished area of the business is 1,258 square feet. The property was previously equipped to accommodate wet conditions within the existing bay area of the property, so limited interior renovations are expected. Access/Traffic Circulation - The property is on the corner of Colonial Avenue and Thompson Lane. There are property entrances from both streets. Parking is located on the side and rear of the building. Screening & Buffering - An existing fence and plantings create screening and a buffer from the adjoining residential property. Additional screening on the property would limit interconnectivity between business Agencies Comments: The following agencies provided comments on this application: Office of Building Safety – Any construction on site will need to meet the requirements of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Fire and Rescue – Fire and Rescue does not object to this project, and it will not increase the services we provide. If determined to be a change of use by Office of Building Safety, fire flow and access requirements would be addressed. General Services – No comments. Stormwater Operations – No comments. Roanoke County Transportation – No comments. Western Virginia Water Authority – 3664 Colonial Avenue has an active water and sewer account with the Western Virginia Water Authority. The building official should ensure private water and sewer plumbing is adequate to serve the area of the proposed special use request. Virginia Department of Transportation 1. A Land Use Permit will be required if a new entrance is needed from the VDOT right-of-way or for the change in use of an existing entrance. 2. If any future modifications to existing entrances or the installation of new entrances are planned, the VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F: Access Management Design Standards for Entrances and Intersections, must be adhered to, where applicable, for commercial entrances. This includes, but is not limited to, entrance spacing and intersection sight distance. The intersection sight distance must be field verified, and measures taken to ensure the minimum required distances can be met. 3. Comparative trip generation calculations between the existing use and proposed use will be required with the concept plan or first plan submittal. 4. Please ensure the proposed internal traffic pattern provides sufficient room for queuing onsite and avoids queuing on Colonial Avenue and Thompson Lane. 5. VDOT will not issue an approval of the plans or any necessary Land Use Permits until the locality approves this request. Additionally, information regarding any changes to the existing drainage system should be included for review. 4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of this parcel is Transition. Transition is a future land use area that encourages the orderly development of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses. The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Transition Future Land Use Designation. The Roanoke County 200 Plan incorporated the Colonial Avenue Corridor Design Guidelines (attached) into the Roanoke County 200 Plan. The Colonial Avenue Corridor Design Guidelines are recommendations for property and business owners to develop their sites to follow standards specific to the Colonial Avenue Corridor. The goal of these standards is to plan for and achieve compatibility between new and existing developments along Colonial Avenue. The proposed development is utilizing an existing commercial building space that has parking and signage already on site. Staff added a suggested condition limiting future lighting poles and fixtures to 14 feet in height and prohibiting neon signage and electronic message boards on site associated with the car wash use. 5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS Craighead & Associates is petitioning to obtain a special use permit to operate a car wash (detailing business) on approximately 0.71 acre of land zoned C-2, High Intensity Residential District, located at 3664 Colonial Avenue in the Cave Spring Magisterial District. The proposal involves utilizing the existing commercial space, which measures 1,258 square feet. The Roanoke County 200 Plan designates the Future Land Use of this parcel as "Transition." The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Transition future land use. The proposed use for 3664 Colonial Avenue will promote the economic vitality of previously vacant commercial property without significant increases in traffic, environmental concerns, or other adverse effects upon the neighborhood. This application is consistent with the criteria for approval of Special Use Permits in Roanoke County. If recommended for approval, staff suggest special use permit conditions dealing with limiting the square footage of the car wash and to only be conducted indoors, limiting the height of any future lighting fixtures, CASE NUMBER: #10-7/2025 PREPARED BY: Summer Bork HEARING DATES: PC: July 1, 2025 BOS: July 22, 2025 ATTACHMENTS: Application Materials Maps (Aerial, Zoning, Future Land Use) Photographs C-2 District Regulations Transition Future Land Use Designation Colonial Avenue Design Guidelines Public Comments ~RAIG~EAD ~ASSOCIATES Architects, Designm, Construction Managers May 6, 2025 County of Roanoke Planning and Zoning 5204 Bernard Drive Roanoke,VA.24018 ATTN: Ms. Rebecca James, Zoning Administrator RE: Special Use Permit 3664 Colonial Avenue Roanoke,VA.24018 Tax# 077.18-03-23.00-0000 Dear Becky, Attached, please find the special use permit application, attachments and filing fee of$ 157.50.

Request furthers the purposes of the Roanoke County Ordiances The request for this special use is needed to be able to provide third party car detail within the current building and site. The existing C-2 use provides for vehicle sales on the property which is a continuation of the previous use of the site. On site detailing of the vehicles for sale on the property is allowed in the current zoning. The requested car detail special use will allow a third party to perform not only the detailing of the vehicles for sale by the owner but will allow low use individual detail at the facility. The detailing for the vehicles is not a typical drive thru car wash/ vacuum but is instead a hand detail wash/ wax and interior detailing to be performed within the area indicated on existing building layout plan. This area would consist of approximately 1258 sf within the existing building. B. The Roanoke County policies Community Plan. The site is currently zoned C-2, High Intensity Commercial District. The requested special use is consistent with the past use with the exception of low intense use. The estimated daily detail vehicles would be less than 15 per day. No drive thru typical vehicle wash. All hand detail work on vehicles allowed to be sold on the property current zoning along with additional vehicle detail. C. The impact for this request The impact on the property, the adjoining properties, the surrounding area as well as the public services, water and sewer, traffic is very minimal. The detail work will occur within the existing building and site area. The screening along the rear property line has been improved with fencing and landscaping. See attached photos. No significant improvements to the exterior are planned or needed at this time. This area is currently prepared to allow wet conditions inside of the existing bay area. Originally, this was car service bays when the structure was constructed as a gas station/ service facility. I CONCEPT PLAN CHECKLIST A concept plan of the proposed project must be submitted with the appl lcation. The concept plan shall graphically depict the land use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Further. the plan shall address any potential land use or design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the future use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County permitting regulations. The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plot plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Site plan and building permit procedures ensure compliance with State and County development regulations and may require changes to the initial concept plan. Unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed on a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other regulations. A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver, community plan (15.2-2232) review and variance applications. The plan should be prepared by a professional site planner. The level of detail may vary, depending on the nature of the request.

No. 62293-12, § 10, 6-22-93) 8 A future land use area that encourages the orderly development of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses. Land Use Types Office and Institutional - Planned office parks and independent facilities in park-like surroundings are encouraged. A high degree of architectural design and environmentally sensitive site design is encouraged. Retail - Small-scale planned and clustered retail uses. Multifamily Residential - Garden apartments at a density of 12 to 24 units per acre Single-Family Attached Residential - Planned townhouse communities of 6 or more units per acre. Parks - Public and private recreational facilities. These facilities should be linked to residential areas by greenways, bike and pedestrian trails. Land Use Determinants Existing Land Use Pattern - Locations where limited commercial uses exist. Existing Zoning - Locations where commercial zoning exists. Access - Locations where properties have direct frontage and access to an arterial or major collector street. Surrounding Land Use - Locations which serve as a logical buffer strip between conflicting land use patterns. Orientation - Locations which are physically oriented toward the major street. TRANSITION COLONIAL AVENUE CORRIDOR DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPI\1ENTIREDEVELOPMENT Background Colonial Avenue provides a vital link in the regional highway network from the inner city of Roanoke to the outlying suburbs of Roanoke County. As development has increased over the years around the inner city area, the function of Colonial Avenue has stayed the same. This increase in development has had a direct impact on the roadway as traffic volumes rise steadily. High traffic volumes and the availability of developable land often cause developers to seek locations along such corridors for new commercial development. This situation has begun along the Colonial Avenue corridor. As. commercial pressures increase, the importance of protecting established neighborhoods and ensuring the safe and efficient flow of traffic becomes more crucial. It is also important to ensure a comfortable transition for existing residential frontage properties if neighboring parcels become commercial. Compatibility can be improved upon, if not achieved, through the proper use of building style, orientation .and location, landscaping, signage, lighting, parking concepts and access management. Staff recommends the following site design guidelines -particularly on Colonial Avenue frontage properties -for development or redevelopment in the corridor. • To plan for and achieve compatibility between new and existing developments along the corridor. Design Guidelines Objectives To encourage well designed, aesthetically pleasing developments that make a positive contribution to the streetscape and lessen potential negative impacts on adjacent residential properties. To encourage architectural compatibility with the surrounding residential character. To minimize impacts to traffic flow from new developments. To encourage the use oflandscaping to improve environmental quality within new developments, enhance property values and create an enduring community image. To limit light pollution onto adjacent residential areas and encourage human scale in detail lighting. To millimize sign clutter by encouraging attractive, well-placed signage. 1. Existing Conditions A. The proposed development should show sensitivity to the existing residential character of the corridor by incorporating as many of the following as possible: 1. The preservation and use of existing residential structures for small offices (architecturally compatible alterations and additions are permitted), or the construction of new buildings having a distinct residential character. 2. The preservation and incorporation of existing vegetation. 3. Front yard character that is a common feature of residential properties should be preserved. 4. Depending upon terrain, the use of terraced parking lots, minimizing their visual and site impacts, may be appropriate. 5. Existing drainage ways should be protected and incorporated into all proposals. II. Site Layout A. Buildings 1. A building should be prominent from street view, using its architecture as advertising. 2. Setbacks should be determined according to ultimate road right-of-way. 3.

CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of this parcel is Neighborhood Conservation. Neighborhood Conservation is a future land use area where established single-family neighborhoods are delineated, and the conservation of the existing development pattern is encouraged. The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation Future Land Use Designation. The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of the parcels containing Glen Cove Elementary School, the Public Safety Center, and the Roanoke County School Administration building (Tax Map numbers 036.16-01-11.00-0000 and 036.16-01-11.01-0000) that directly adjoin 5811 Cove Road to the north is Transition. Transition is a future land use area that encourages the orderly development of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses. The proposed special use permit is also consistent with the Transition Future Land Use Designation. 5.

R-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Sec. 30-42-1. Purpose. (A) The purpose of the R-2, medium density district is to establish areas in the county within the urban service area where existing low-middle to middle density residential development (one (1) to six (6) units per acre) is primarily located and land areas which appear generally appropriate for such development. These areas are consistent with the neighborhood conservation land use category, and where public services warrant, the development land use category as recommended in the comprehensive plan. This district is intended to provide reasonable protection to existing single family residential neighborhoods, while accommodating a diversity of alternative housing options. These areas are designated based on access to roads, sewer and water, and schools with suitable capacity to accommodate development at the stated density. Older neighborhoods where smaller platted lot sizes exist are also included where opportunities exist for additional in-fill development. (Ord. No. 042799-11, § 1f., 4-27-99; Ord.

Land Use Types Single-Family Residential - Attached and detached housing at a reasonable density that is not significantly higher than the existing neighborhood. Infill lots or community re-development should be designed to be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood but can be at reasonably higher density. New single- family residential developments should incorporate greenways and bike and pedestrian trails. Cluster developments are encouraged. Neighborhood Institutional Centers - Uses that serve the neighborhood residents including parks, schools, religious assembly facilities, recreational and park facilities, community meeting areas and clubs. These facilities should be linked to the residential areas by greenways, bike trails and pedestrian paths. Neighborhood Commercial - Low impact services to serve the local neighborhood that are consistent with design guidelines. Land Use Determinants Existing Land Use Pattern - Locations where limited density residential subdivisions have been platted and developed. Existing Zoning - Locations where limited density residential zoning has been established. Expansion Areas - Locations where the expansion of the existing development pattern is logical. Infill Development - Locations where infill areas complement the surrounding development pattern. Access - Locations served by a local street system. Urban Sector - Locations served by urban services.
