Executive Summary
This is a request to permit used automobile sales on a site along Washington Highway that has been utilized for automobile-related uses for many years. The site has recently been used as an automobile service and repair shop as well as a vehicle tow and storage lot, and the applicant would like to continue those uses. Only a portion of the site is zoned B-3; therefore, a companion rezoning request has also been submitted to rezone a portion of the A-I property to B-3 for the used automobile sales and repair and the remaining portion to M-2 to permit the vehicle tow lot use.
Recommendations
Staff
APPROVAL subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report.
Planning Commission
APPROVAL subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report.
Planning Analysis
The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing building on the site as an office for used automobile sales as well as an automobile service and repair business. No new buildings are proposed. The applicant has indicated that this request will allow for rehabilitation of the building, and renovations will be generally consistent with the existing character. The building awning and parking area align the existing right-of-way and are within the ultimate right-of-way for Washington Highway. Because a portion of the building is located within the required 25’ thoroughfare buffer, the applicant has also submitted an application for a Special Exception for a buffer reduction. New tree and shrub plantings are still proposed, which should help to enhance the appearance of the property.
Currently, there is no defined driveway for the site along Washington Highway, and access is unrestricted. The sketch plan shows a one-way entrance and one-way exit, each to be narrowed to 20’ wide, which should improve safety to and from the site. A painted barrier adjacent to the entrance should also allow for more orderly access to the site.
The plan shows vehicle display areas on both sides of the building along front of the property. Twelve (12) parking spaces for employees and customers have been provided on the northern and southern boundary of the property, which exceeds the ten space minimum. A six (6) foot board-on-board fence is proposed for overflow parking and vehicle storage and display areas. In addition, staff is recommending that all vehicles waiting for service be screened from view from the public right-of way.
Comprehensive Plan
The subject property is designated for Industrial use on the General Land Use Plan Map of the Comprehensive Plan. A portion of the site has been zoned B-3 since 1974, when the Comprehensive Rezoning of the County took place, likely to accommodate existing commercial use of the property. This request is consistent with the historic use of the property for automobile repair and service and vehicle storage. The site is surrounded by A-i zoned properties, including one with a residence to the north but it is also adjacent to the South Anna River and land that is within the floodplain. The required screening between the property with the existing residence to the north and the existing and proposed businesses improves the compatibility between these uses. Therefore, the proposed use is appropriate and compatible with the surrounding area.
Agency Analysis
There were no substantive comments from any of the reviewing agencies.
In accordance with Section 26-325, the site shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformity with the sketch plan titled, “Concept Plan #1 — Britt Motors,” dated June 1, 2018, revised August 20, 2018, and prepared by Silvercore.
A site plan, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 26, Article 6, Division 2, of the Hanover County Zoning Ordinance, shall be submitted for review and approval prior to commencement of the requested use.
7
1. No outside speaker systems shall be permitted.
2. The applicant shall provide evidence that the State-issued license to sell used vehicles has been issued prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. All vehicles awaiting repair shall be screened from view from Washington Highway in accordance with Section 26-263.
4. Storage of inoperable vehicles, as referenced in the Hanover County Code, shall be prohibited on the property.
5. All development and use of the property shall comply with all federal, State and local statutes, ordinances and regulations
Planning Commission Recommendation
At their meeting of September 20, 2018, the Hanover County Planning Commission, on a motion by Ms. Iverson, seconded by Mr. Hadra, voted to recommend APPROVAL of the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow used automobile sales on GPLN 7871-99-8453(part), consisting of approximately 3.73 acres, subject to the staff-recommended conditions.
