NATURE OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Describe the nature of the use or uses proposed for the subject property under the proposed zoning classification:
It is proposed that this parcel, 0602003000005, (along with parcels 0600000002300, and 0602003000004) will be used to support medical uses. The existing Monarch Bank building on parcel 0600000002300 is to be expanded and converted to medical uses, which will include offices/clinics for physicians and “Medical Care Facility” uses.
Proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation:
Low Density Residential
Describe the planned development, including the total number of residential units, total square feet of office, commercial, and industrial uses.:
The acquisition of parcel 0602003000005 will allow for additional parking to support expansion of the building on parcels 0600000002300, and 0602003000004. It will also allow for the entrance onto Hanbury Road to be moved further west, away from the Hanbury/Battlefield intersection, and, in the future, be aligned with an entrance across Hanbury Road.

Yes
DRAINAGE IMPACT ANALYSIS (DIA)
How will this project address increase in stormwater runoff as a result of development? Please note although the post-development peak flow is less than pre-developed, the increase of volume must be addressed in areas with existing deficiencies.:
For the original Bank site, overall percentage of impervious cover will remain about the same, so there will be no runoff increase. For the additional residential properties being incorporated, impervious cover will increase from about 15%-20% to about 70%. BMP’s conforming to current VSMP regulations will be provided as an expansion of the current Monarch Center system.
What steps will be taken to ensure adequacy of the receiving facility (off-site dynamic drainage analysis of watershed, improvements, etc.)?:
The entire Monarch Center system will be re-analyzed with the additional property included.
Address whether the project will be required to provide water quantity and/or water quality of stormwater runoff.:
Per VSMP, both quantity and quality will have to be addressed.
What off-site easements and/or improvements are required? What steps have been taken to ensure that these easements can be obtained and that improvements can be constructed?:
No additional easements are required.
Address the current adequacy of the existing drainage receiving facility.:
With modest increases in detention, the existing Monarch system will be adequate to handle the slight additional flow.
Is this development subject to tidal impacts? How will the tides associated with a hurricane or northeaster affect the drainage system?:
This system is not subject to tidal impacts.
What steps have been taken to ensure no property damage will result from a 100-year tidal or rainfall event?:
The dynamic modeling mentioned in 4.b. above will include analysis of the 100-year event.
WATER AND SEWER IMPACT
State whether, and in what respect, adequate water and sewer services exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would be permitted if the property were rezoned.:
The water and sewer service to the existing Monarch Bank building will be adequate for the new facilities.
Are septic tanks and private wells are proposed?:
No
SCHOOL IMPACT
State whether and explain in what respect adequate school facilities exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would permitted if the property were rezoned.:
N/A
POLICE, FIRE, EMERGENCY SVCS
State whether and explain in what respect adequate police, fire protection and emergency services exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would be permitted if the property were rezoned.:
There is no substantial difference in the fire protection requirements under the current zoning versus under the proposed zoning.
REFUSE DISPOSAL SERVICES
State whether and explain in what respect adequate refuse disposal services exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would permitted if the property were rezoned.:
N/A; not a residential application. Private collection will continue to be utilized.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
State whether and explain in what respect adequate library facilities exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would permitted if the property were rezoned.:
N/A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
In what respect is the proposed zoning classification consistent with the Chesapeake Comprehensive Plan?:
The Land Use map of the Comprehensive Plan designates this area, the northwest corner of Battlefield and Hanbury, as Business/Commercial. The proposed rezoning of this small additional area from R-10s to O&I are not inconsistent with this designation.
CHANGED CONDITIONS AND ERRORS
In what respect are there any changed or changing conditions in the area that make the proposed rezoning necessary?:
The closing of Monarch Bank due to its acquisition/merger with Towne Bank, and the gradual shift of retail activity to online purchasing, could be considered such “changing conditions.” The proposed O&I, which has already been granted for the bank parcel and TP 0602003000004, reasonably supports the changing of the bank building to the proposed medical uses, allow the Class A bank building to return to productive use and meet increasing need for medical services in the south Great Bridge area.
In what respect will the proposed rezoning correct an error in the application of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance as applied to the subject property?:
No such error gives rise to this rezoning.
COMPATIBILITY OF USES
In what respect is the range of uses in the proposed zoning district classification compatible with the uses permitted on other property in the immediate vicinity?:
The clear pattern of zoning districts in this area is B-1, B-2 with some O&I. Rezoning this one parcel from R-10s to O&I enables the new medical facility to be developed in a way which better accommodates the future expansion of Hanbury Road. However, compatibility with the existing R-10s residential area (which already abuts the existing Monarch Center B-1 uses) must be maintained by proper site planning and buffering.
VIABLE ECONOMIC USE
State and explain whether a reasonably viable economic use of the subject property exists under the current zoning classification.:
The existing residence on the subject parcel is economically viable.
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
Will the application involve land disturbance for residential, assembly, day care, group home, recreation, school, library, or similar land use?:
No
