Schools: The proposed reclassification would not generate any additional school aged children.

Parks and Recreation: The proposed reclassification would not generate any additional need for parkland. Proffer Valuation: No proffers are proposed with this application. Existing Conditions The proposed FR district overlay area consists of 81 parcels of land, totaling approximately 30 acres (Attachment 2). The area contains many historic structures associated with the Falmouth Historic District. There are approximately 21 primary structures that were constructed between 1750 and 1900, and 13 constructed between 1901 and 1956 that contribute to the historic fabric of Falmouth. Approximately 25 parcels within the boundary are undeveloped. Within the FR district boundary, 39 parcels totaling approximately 15 acres are zoned R-1; 41 parcels totaling 9 acres are zoned B-2, and one parcel totaling 0.21 acres is zoned B-3. The historic district is generally divided into four quadrants, separated by the Falmouth intersection (Cambridge Street/Warrenton Road/Butler Road). Intersection improvements were recently completed to include turn lanes and pedestrian accommodation, including sidewalks and crosswalks. During construction, seven structures were removed at the intersection and along Butler Road, and a majority of overhead utility lines were buried. New medians, signal poles, and landscaping were installed. For discussion purposes, the four quadrants include the following:

• Northeast quadrant: north of Butler Road and east of Cambridge Street • Southeast quadrant: south of Butler Road and east of Cambridge Street • Southwest quadrant: south of Warrenton Road and west of Cambridge Street • Northwest quadrant: north of Warrenton Road and west of Cambridge Street

The southeast and southwest quadrants contain the majority of 18th and 19th century buildings, and considered the core of the original historic area. There are approximately 12 historically significant primary structures in the southwest quadrant, and eight in the southeast quadrant. The northeast quadrant contains three 19th century structures, and several early 20th century structures. The northwest quadrant does not contain any structures, except for a billboard. Critical Resource Protection Area (CRPA) is located along Falls Run, which follows the western boundary line. In addition, there is 100-year floodplain associated with Falls Run, as well as the Rappahannock River to the south. The floodplain associated with the river is primarily located along King Street. The topography within the FR boundary varies from approximately 20 feet in elevation along King Street, to about 60 feet in elevation in the northeast quadrant. The topography drops off along the western boundary as well, toward Falls Run.

COMMENTS: The Board of Supervisors (Board) is requesting the zoning reclassification to apply the FR, Falmouth Redevelopment Area Overlay Zoning District to the 81 parcels. Application of the FR Overlay District would not change the existing underlying B-2, B-3, or R-1 zoning classifications of the parcels. The Board initiated the application pursuant to Resolution R16-24 (Attachment 4), dated November 22, 2016. The Board’s resolution included the stipulation that any property owner may request his/her property be excluded from the FR District, either by written request or by oral request at the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors public hearings. The proposed FR District would provide suitable and sufficient opportunities for redevelopment by allowing more flexibility in new construction and the reuse of existing buildings, while maintaining the historic nature and cultural context of the Falmouth area of the County. Pursuant to Ordinance O16-24 (Attachment 3), which established the FR District in October, 2016, the FR Overlay District regulations would:

Memorandum to: Stafford County Planning Commission February 22, 2017 Page 6 of 14

• allow for more by-right uses than the underlying zoning districts. Such uses include commercial apartment, bed and breakfast inn, community farmers market, home business, live/work unit, place of worship, and public art uses;

• restrict certain underlying zoning district uses that may not be compatible with the historic village vision of the Falmouth area by requiring a conditional use permit (CUP) or by not permitting the use at all;

• include the same requirements as in the underlying zoning districts for maximum floor area ratio, open space ratio, minimum yards, maximum height, and minimum lot width; however, relief could be granted from those requirements upon approval of a special exception by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA);

• include development standards that require accommodation of pedestrian circulation, outdoor storage of goods and display of merchandise, paved parking and driveways, underground utilities, orientation and screening of loading areas and service entrances, and screening requirements for dumpster and waste disposal areas;

• require that all new construction and building additions be in compliance with the Neighborhood Development Standards (NDS) and the Stafford County Master Redevelopment Plan, Volume IV, Falmouth Village Element of the Comprehensive Plan;

• require review and approval by the County’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) for new construction and building additions, and methods of screening;

• require submittal of a landscaping and planting plan with the submission of a site plan for new development;

• allow new development to be exempt from the requirements for street and transitional buffers; • establish standards for restaurants with outdoor seating by limiting the time period of use from

7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M., and specify that the use of outdoor seating shall not obstruct the movement of pedestrians; and

• allow the reduction of minimum yards upon approval of a special exception by the BZA. The table below specifies uses that are permitted and prohibited in the FR district, in addition to the uses already permitted in the underlying zoning districts. A full list of the uses permitted in the B-2, B-3, and R-1 Zoning Districts is located in Attachment 5. This includes uses permitted by-right and by Conditional Use permit, as well as the additional uses permitted or prohibited in each district if the FR district was applied.

Memorandum to: Stafford County Planning Commission February 22, 2017 Page 7 of 14

The FR district has specific standards that must be considered upon new development, including additions, to properties. The development standards are found in Sec. 28-67 of the County Code. They are summarized as follows:

• Pedestrian circulation required • Outdoor storage of goods (including business vehicles) prohibited in front yard • Outdoor storage of goods (including business vehicles) screened from view of public street • Outdoor display permitted in front yard or side-facing street from dawn to dusk • Outdoor display by businesses with first floor frontage permitted during business hours • Merchandise prohibited in public right-of-way • Merchandise shall not obscure architectural features of building or extend past storefront • Permanent display tables, racks or pieces prohibited outside of buildings • Parking areas and driveways serving more than 24 parking spaces shall be paved, with curb and

gutter installation • Utility lines shall be installed underground • Loading areas, service entrances and bays shall not be visible from public street or adjacent

residential uses • Dumpster/waste storage shall be screened from view • Construction of new buildings or additions shall comply with County Neighborhood Design

Standards and Falmouth Redevelopment Plan • Construction of new buildings or additions subject to Architectural Review Board approval • Building heights shall not exceed 3 stories or 45 feet • Accessory building heights shall not exceed 25 feet • No individual multi-family building shall exceed length of 250 feet • Minimum open space ratio shall be 0.10 • Landscaping/buffering plan required • Outdoor seating at restaurants limited to 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM

Historic Resources The properties are located within the Falmouth Historic District (DHR ID 089-0067), which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Virginia Landmarks Register (VRL). These designations do not have restrictions or regulations for properties, but allows owners to qualify for tax credits and other incentives to maintain the historical value of their properties. Forty-one of the parcels are designated as within the Falmouth Historic Resource (HR) Overlay District. The purpose of the HR district is to protect against destruction of and encroachment upon historic resources. HR districts are areas containing buildings or places in which historic events have occurred or which have special public value because of notable architectural or other features relating to the cultural or artistic heritage of the county, the commonwealth, and the nation, of such significance as to warrant conservation and preservation. There are 22 historic districts in the county, including Falmouth, which is the only district with multiple parcels. The Falmouth HR district was established in 1985, and is shown on the map in tan.

Falmouth Historic District The HR district requires that any modification to existing structures, additional structures, or features such as signs will require approval by the Architectural Review Board (ARB). Section 28-58 of the Zoning Ordinance specifies regulations for properties within historic districts. In general, the ARB shall apply the following criteria for its evaluation of any application. In addition to the following criteria, and guidelines adopted by the County, the ARB shall consider the Secretary of Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation," as may be amended from time to time in determining the appropriateness of any application for approval. a. Risk of substantial alteration of the exterior features of an historic resource. b. Compatibility in character, context and nature with the historic, architectural or cultural features of the historic district. c. Value of the resource and the proposed change in the protection, preservation, and utilization of the historic resource located in the historic district.

d. Exterior architectural features, including all signs. e. General design, scale, and arrangement. f. Texture and materials. g. The relationship of subsections a., b., and c., above, to other structures and features of the district. h. The purpose for which the district was created. i. The relationship of the size, design, and orientation of any new or reconstructed structure to the landscape of the district. j. The extent to which denial of a certificate of appropriateness would constitute a deprivation of a reasonable use of private property. As mentioned previously, properties included in the new FR overlay district would be subject to the standards specified in Section 28-58, and would require review by the ARB. The photographs below depict some of the structures within the FR area.

Impacts Transportation A transportation impact analysis (TIA) was not conducted with this proposal. The application of the overlay district would not change the zoning, or propose any new development. At such time an individual property owner proposes changes to a property, evaluation of transportation impacts would occur. The additional by-right uses allowed in the overlay district would generate low traffic volumes. In most cases they would have similar traffic demands to the current by-right uses. The following information is provided regarding current conditions of the roads within the FR boundaries, as well as improvements recommended in the Comprehensive Plan:

Utilities No water and sewer analysis was completed as it relates to this proposal, as no new development is proposed at this time. Any future development project would need to assess water and sewer needs based on the individual development. Currently, the water and sewer capacity is sufficient to meet existing needs. The Master Water and Sewer Plan includes projects to upgrade both water and sewer lines in the Falmouth area. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as being within the Falmouth Village Planning Area, which includes an Economic Development Priority Focus Area. The Planning Area represents the location of the Falmouth Village Redevelopment Plan, which was adopted in 2011. As indicated in the Redevelopment Plan, the heart of Falmouth Village is generally defined as the crossroads of Warrenton Road and Cambridge Street. The redevelopment area is generally bounded by Truslow Road to the north, the Rappahannock River to the south, Colonial Avenue to the east, and Melcher Drive to the west. This Redevelopment area generally consists of roughly 200 parcels within approximately 146 acres of land area.

Memorandum to: Stafford County Planning Commission February 22, 2017 Page 12 of 14

The Redevelopment Plan notes that historic Falmouth Village presents a unique opportunity to preserve, enhance and develop a cultural attraction in Stafford County. This village setting adjacent to the Rappahannock River is already recognized as a National Register Historic District and contains some of the most significant historic sites in Stafford County. As such, the Plan recommended the adoption of a form-base zoning district to facilitate redevelopment efforts. As an alternative, the Board endorsed the use of an overlay zone concept which would not affect the underlying zoning pattern but provide some flexibility of use and relief of development standards while maintaining the architectural integrity of the area. The Redevelopment area is currently developed with a mix of commercial uses intermixed with residential communities. Much needed access improvements were identified as vital to its potential to provide another center to foster economic opportunity that could add to Stafford County’s strength. A Cultural Management Team was encouraged to outline an implementation plan to develop the Historic Port of Falmouth into a tourist attraction. The area was designated as an economic redevelopment site, and will be treated on par with other similar areas in the proposed redevelopment plans. The area is recommended for primarily Mixed Use future Land Use. More detailed land use concept plans may be considered for sections of the Planning Area on a case by case basis. Park land use is designated on the Historic Port of Falmouth Park and the Belmont Estate.

EVALUATION CRITERIA: County Code Sec. 28-206 lists 12 criteria to be considered at each public hearing for reclassification. 1. Compliance of the request with the stated requirements of the district or districts involved - The

request is in compliance with the stated requirements of the R-1, B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. No changes in the general type of development permitted would occur as a result of the overlay district.

2. The existing use and character of the property and the surrounding property - The subject area is

mix of low intensity residential and commercial development, within a historic district. Properties are generally small in size with historic structures dating to the late 1700’s. Many structures do not meet current zoning standards such as building setbacks, open space, and floor area ratio requirements.

3. The suitability of the property for various uses - The conditions of the overall area would have

some limitations based on the topography and sensitive natural resources. In addition, many parcels are small in size, and would limit large scale development. The intended uses under the proposed overlay would be in keeping with the historic nature of the area.

4. The trend of growth and development in the surrounding area - A mix of low density residential

and low-to-medium intensity commercial and office uses exist in the vicinity. The vision for the future of the area supports mixed residential and commercial uses in this area.

5. The current and future requirements of the County for land - No County needs are identified

within the boundary.

Memorandum to: Stafford County Planning Commission February 22, 2017 Page 13 of 14

6. The transportation requirements of the project and the County, and the impact of the proposed land-use on the County’s transportation network - The area lies at the intersection of two high-volume transportation corridors. The proposed overlay would not increase transportation needs. Cambridge Street is identified as a 6-lane upgrade in the future.

7. Requirements for schools, parks, recreational lands and facilities, and other public services,

potentially generated by the proposed classification - The proposal would have minimal impacts on parks, recreational lands, schools, and other public facilities. The type and intensity of development permitted under the district overlay, as well as design standards, would limit increases in impacts to public services.

8. The conservation of property values in the surrounding area - The proposal should not have a

negative effect on any property values in the surrounding area. Design standards would help ensure aesthetically pleasing and historically compatible development. The overlay would also encourage rehabilitation and reuse of vacant historic structures, which could have a positive impact on property values.

9. The preservation of natural resources and the impact of the proposed uses on the natural

environment - The area contains sensitive natural resources including CRPA, floodplain, and steep slopes. These resources would be considered upon future development of each property within the area.

10. The most appropriate use of land - The Land Use Plan recommends this area for mixed residential

and commercial use, with new development to be compatible with the historic district. The overlay district would help ensure compliance with the Land Use Plan and ensures that future development would be in harmony with the historical character of Falmouth.

11. The timing of the development of utilities and public facilities, and the overall public costs of the

development - The area is served by existing water and sewer utilities, with future upgrades proposed in the Master Water and Sewer Plan. Recent transportation improvements have been completed to accommodate traffic at the Warrenton Road/Cambridge Street intersection through 2040.

12. The consistency, or lack thereof, of the proposed rezoning with the Stafford County

Comprehensive Plan as in effect at that time - The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations regarding the Falmouth Village Planning Area land-use recommendations. The proposal ensures consistency with the Neighborhood Development Standards Plan recommendations. Implementation of the overlay zone would meet one of the stated goals of the Falmouth Redevelopment Area Plan.

SUMMARY OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEATURES: POSITIVE: 1. The proposal is consistent with the established development pattern in the vicinity. 2. The proposal encourages future development that would compatible with historic Falmouth.

Memorandum to: Stafford County Planning Commission February 22, 2017 Page 14 of 14

3. The proposal incentivizes rehabilitation and reuse of vacant historic structures.

4. The proposal is compatible with the Falmouth Village Planning Area land use recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan.

NEGATIVE: 1. No apparent negative impacts. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this application. JAH:kb Attachments (6)
