The SEA is a request to amend a previously approved special exception for two suite hotels. The approved hotels were presented to the committee. The amendment seeks to enclose two previously approved outdoor swimming pools and to permit construction of a sit-down, full service, restaurant with second floor office space that will be used by the Applicant The PCA is a request to amend the governing proffers for a small portion of the property and to allow for an increase in FAR from 0.35 to 0.42. The proposed FAR is less than that allowed under the Zoning Ordinance for the I-5 Zoning District. The proposed increase in FAR conforms to the Comprehensive Plan recommendations and associated performance standards. The PCA proposes to modify the construction standards applicable to the portion of the structures (a corner of one hotel and a swimming pool) proposed in the Airport Noise Overlay District in order to conform to current Zoning Ordinance standards.
Greg explained that the proposed changes comply with current sound contour changes. The developers are willing to contribute $25K to a light at Skyview and Centreville roads. The restaurant is planned to offer sit down service, not fast food, and not duplicate local offerings.
The committee voted to:
He would like change the current plan authorizing 100,000 square feet of office space to allow 60 townhouses. An out-of-turn plan amendment would be needed to accomplish this replanning.
The townhouses would be three stories, including an in-ground basement and a two-car garage. Based on a request by the county water authority, if the development were to be granted he would construct an additional water supply line to help the water pressure in the Ox Hill Road community to his north. That community has an existing power line easement directly north of this property that will add to the proposed buffer. He also plans ton contributing $500 per unit for offsite recreation above what will be provided on the site. No school page children are expected to reside on this site. Three would be 40 additional parking spaces in addition to the two spaces available in front of each garage.
The committee recommended that he think about providing additional on site recreation, such as tennis courts, and that he contact neighboring associations and then come back to the committee with their comments.
One item of discussion is a Special Exemption for a training facility in a RC area. This will allow a professional team, possibly DC United, to set up their training site (30,000 sq. ft) on the parkland. This may require an ordinance change.
On the Quinn property, they may build nine lighted fields at the Northwest corner of Pleasant Valley and Braddock roads, and relocate Lee and Braddock Roads as discussed previously. The field use will be coordinated with both the Chantilly and Southwest youth associations .
