SUP #2018-04, Holtzman Propane (Propane Storage Yard) February 2, 2018

ATTACHMENT 1: STAFF ANALYSIS Background and History: The subject property (10399 Central Park Drive) is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Godwin Drive and Central Park Drive within the Industrial/Suburban Business character area of the Comprehensive Plan. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (I-2) and Airport Impact Overlay District (AOD), and is currently vacant. The surrounding area generally consists of existing warehouse and storage uses, including an existing hazardous materials storage yard at American Disposal Services approximately 0.2 miles from the subject property.
The applicant requests a special use permit for the bulk storage of propane as part of a propane and ice distribution operation. The property's heavy industrial zoning allows the warehousing and distribution of ice as a by-right use. The bulk storage of propane requires a special use permit. This special use permit application is, thus, limited to the propane storage aspect of the proposed ice and propane storage and distribution operation. The proposed propane storage use includes three 30,000 gallon liquid propane storage tanks and accessory storage of three fleet vehicles for propane distribution.
The applicant currently delivers propane in the Manassas Area but does not have a Manassas area storage facility. The proposed facility is expected to save 3 hours of travel time for each of the 3 delivery trucks each day, or a total of approximately 9 hours a day of travel time. The applicant anticipates that the proposal will reduce traffic and environmental impacts while also promoting more efficient service to City residents.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis: The subject property is located within the “Industrial Suburban/Business” and “Gateways and Corridors” character areas of the Comprehensive Plan. This request is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and, with the proposed mitigating conditions, is compatible with adjacent land uses.
Land Use
Manassas will maintain its existing pattern of residential, commercial, and open space land uses, emphasize improved design principles, promote mixed uses compatible with existing
neighborhoods, accommodate high quality infill and redevelopment where appropriate, and reinforce the unique and positive qualities of diverse neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive Plan for the City designates this property as Industrial/Suburban Business, which is intended to provide quality environments for office, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, and vertical mixed uses. The Gateway and Corridor designation is intended to create a series of connected corridors designed for functional efficiency, multiple travel options, and improved community aesthetic.

SUP #2018-04, Holtzman Propane (Propane Storage Yard) February 2, 2018
Page 5
The proposed use is appropriate for the existing heavy-industrial zoning and not anticipated to have a negative impact on surrounding uses, which consist primarily of warehouse and storage facilities. The applicant proposes to address the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and mitigate potential detrimental impacts to adjacent land through the generalized development plan and proposed conditions. The applicant has included enhanced landscape buffering and fencing, and has located the proposed tank area to meet or exceed National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) minimum required distance to adjacent properties and buildings (50 feet). The conditions also place limitations on signage, exterior lighting, and exterior loudspeakers/public address systems to limit impacts to adjacent properties. These mitigations improve the overall quality of development beyond that permitted by-right under industrial zoning.
Economic Development
Manassas will have a strong and diverse economy that provides quality jobs, meets the retail needs of the community, attracts new residents, and creates tourism opportunities, while
generating revenues that provide for superior public services and facilities.
The Department of Economic Development has no comments on the proposed use.
Mobility
Manassas will have a safe, efficient, multi-modal transportation system with streets sufficient to support businesses and residents, providing public transportation and pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly facilities, while being sensitive to the design context of the City and its neighborhoods.
The Department of Public Works has no concerns relating to transportation.
Site access will be provided from Central Park Drive with no access proposed from Godwin Drive. Traffic generation will include commercial and personal vehicles. Trucks will deliver bulk propane for storage in the three tanks on site. Approximately three local delivery trucks will be parked on the property each night and will distribute propane to residential customers during the day. Approximately three drivers will park their personal vehicles on the property in the morning before picking up their respective delivery trucks for the day.
Pedestrian improvements will consist of five foot wide sidewalks along Central Park Drive, completing sidewalk along this road.
Goal/Objective/Strategy Staff Analysis
Chapter 3: Land Use (Comprehensive Plan)
Objective 3.2: Reinforce positive characteristics of sub-districts and neighborhoods of the City while setting and implementing policies for long-term improvement of negative characteristics.
This project is consistent with the intent of the Industrial/Suburban Business district. Potential negative impacts will be mitigated by enhanced landscaping, screening, and signage controls as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan design standards for Gateways and Corridors.

Public Safety
Public Safety: Manassas City provides premier police, fire and rescue services and facilities, protecting the lives and property of our citizens with well-trained and equipped personnel
closely engaged with the community. The City is prepared to respond to and protect against natural and man-made disasters and threats.
The Police Department and Fire Marshal expressed no issues or concerns with the proposed use. Any potential impacts to public safety are addressed under the proposed conditions and the applicant’s emergency response and evacuation plan (Attachment 4). In addition, the bulk propane facility will be installed according to National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) guidelines and meets or exceeds setback distances from adjacent properties and structures (minimum of 50 feet) as required per these standards.
The nearest structure to the propane storage area is a warehouse located on the adjacent property approximately ±85 feet from the propane storage area (±63 feet internal setback plus ±12 feet from between property line and the building). The nearest residential structure is located more than 800 feet from the subject property and is buffered by City of Manassas park land (Winters Branch Trail) and the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority facility.
Utilities
Public Utilities: City of Manassas utilities are well-maintained to provide quality, dependable service to our citizens and are carefully planned to support economic development with
sufficient system capacity to meet anticipated long-term growth in an environmentally sensitive manner.
The Departments of Engineering and Utilities expressed no issues or concerns regarding utilities for the proposed use.
Environment
Manassas will manage the impact of growth and development to protect and preserve the natural environment in such a way as to ensure long range environmental health and
sustainability.
To mitigate potential environmental impacts, the GDP incorporates tree canopy requirements. The proposed conditions address hazardous materials and stormwater.
CONDITION ANALYSIS The complete set of conditions is provided in Attachment 2. Staff recommends several conditions to mitigate potential impacts on surrounding properties, including:
11

Notes
1. Definitions of subjects contained in this report may be found at: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2015_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf
2. The U.S. Census Bureau suggests caution when comparing ACS data and provides guidance at:
https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/guidance/comparing-acs-data.html
a. Any overlapping ACS data sets in this report are provided for reference only and should not be used for direct comparison. Only non-overlapping ACS data sets should be compared (example: do not compare 2005-2009 ACS 5-year estimates to 2006-2010 ACS 5-year estimates).
b. ACS estimates may be compared with 2000 Census data. However, differences in the universe, question wording, residence rules, reference periods, and the way in which the data are tabulated can impact comparability.
c. Basic characteristics of ACS may be compared with the 2000 Census data. However,
other questions were not asked in the 2010 Census. The 2006-2010 5-Year ACS data is provided for reference in these instances when available.
3. All monetary estimates (e.g., housing value, income) are provided for reference purposes only in the base year reported per U.S. Census Bureau American Factfinder and are not adjusted to a common base year. To compare data across years, monetary estimates should be converted to a common base year using the methodology provided by the Census Bureau: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/guidance.html

Appendix A. Data Sources
U.S. Census Bureau Decennial Census
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Decennial Census. This is the official source for population counts
for local communities. In 2000, the Census included both the short and long forms. With the 2010
census, the long form was discontinued, and the detailed data associated with the long form is now
collected through the American Community Survey (ACS). As a result, the 2010 Census includes only
basic demographic details such as: population, age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, housing occupancy
and housing tenure. www.census.gov/2010census/
U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates Program (PEP)
The Population Estimates Program produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population
and housing units for the years between the Decennial Census. Each new series of data (called vintages)
incorporates the latest administrative record data, geographic boundaries, and methodology. Therefore,
the entire time series of estimates beginning with the most recent Decennial census is revised annually,
and estimates from different vintages of data may not be consistent across geography and
characteristics detail. When multiple vintages of data are available, the most recent vintage is the
preferred data. Data is released annually in May. www.census.gov/popest/index.html
U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS)
In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau began publishing the ACS, which collects information historically
collected on the Decennial Census long form. The ACS provides “period” estimates that represent data
collected over a period of time and are updated and refined annually; therefore, overlapping periods
should not be directly compared. With a population of less than 65,000, Manassas was previously
included in both the 3-year and 5-year estimates until the 3-year cycle was discontinued in 2015. The 5-
year ACS data release is available on American Factfinder annually in December. factfinder.census.gov
Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service (University of Virginia)
The Demographics & Workforce Group of the Weldon Cooper Center develops state and local data and
estimates, including annual population estimates and projections for counties and cities in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. www.coopercenter.org/demographics
Virginia Employment Commission
The Virginia Employment Commission provides frequently updated information from multiple data
sources on population, commuting, economics, employment, industry and education.
