PUBLIC HEARING
TLZM-2015-0007 and TLSE-2015-0013 Brown's Car Stores Public Hearing, Scott Parker,
Assistant Town Manager
Chairman Welsh Chamblin opened the public hearing at 7:04 pm and invited staff to make their
presentation.
Scott Parker, Assistant Town Manager explained that this application was both a rezoning and
special exception request. TLZM-2015-0007 is a request to rezone 17.64 acres of land from the
I-1 zoning district to the B-3 zoning district. TLSE-2015-0013 is a request for a special
exception to allow 2 car dealerships on the property subject to approval of TLZM-2015-0007.
Mr. Parker displayed an aerial map of the location which is adjacent to the Lowes site, the future
Tuscarora Crossing site, the Village at Leesburg Land Bay C, and the Town's Public Works and
Utilities facilities. The application is divided into 2 land bays; Land Bay A and Land Bay B.
The proposed dealerships will both front on Russell Branch Parkway and will face one another.
Land Bay A is on the north side of Russell Branch Parkway and the dealership will be located
between the Lowes site to the east, the Village at Leesburg movie theater parking lot on the
west, East Market Street/Route 7 will be to the north and comprises what is considered to be the
rear of the property. The dealership on the south side of Russell Branch Parkway in Land Bay B
will be located between the Town's Public Works/Utilities facilities to the west, and open space
to the east that is associated with Land Bay C of the Village at Leesburg, which is comprised of
two -over -two townhouse units. To the south of this site is an extensive flood plain associated
with Tuscarora Creek. Within this floodplain area, which is not proposed for development, the
Applicant is proposing to construct a portion of the Tuscarora Creek pedestrian/bike trail along
their property. Access for both dealerships will be provided from Russell Branch Parkway with
the cul-de-sac for Keystone Drive providing additional access to the southern dealership.
The entire property contains 23.84 acres, with 17.64 acres within the Town and currently zoned
I -Industrial Research Park. The property was annexed in 1984 and has been zoned I-1 since
1985. Land Bay A, in particular, was included in the H-2, Historic Corridor Architectural
Control Overlay District in 1994. Town Plan Amendment TLTA-2015-0003 was approved by
the Town Council on June 14, 2016. The Applicant is proposing to rezone the property to B-3,
Community Retail/Commercial, which allows vehicle sales and service by special exception.
Two automobile dealerships are proposed, each to be a maximum of 33,502 square feet and a
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .064. The subject property is adjacent to B-3 zoned property on the
Lowes site, B-4, PRC for Village at Leesburg, and I-1 for Town facilities. The existing Planned
Land Use Map in the Town Plan designates this as Regional/Office and these dealerships would
be allowable based on the previously referenced Town Plan Amendment. Therefore, the planned
land use remains the same.

Leesburg Planning Commission
December 1, 2016 Minutes
Staff has reviewed and has worked with the Applicant to successively mitigate plat deficiencies,
site area, proffers, landscaping and buffering, ingress and egress, parking, pedestrian
connections, trail location and connections, site lighting, stormwater management, and Keystone
Drive right-of-way and cul-de-sac.
Mr. Parker discussed Town Plan Compliance noting the Town Plan Amendment changed the
Town Plan's Southeast Planning Policy Area Objective 9 to add language that would allow new
auto dealerships south of Route 7 and east of the Lowes property. It also amended the Roadway
Network Policy Map to eliminate a segment of Keystone Drive, a through collector road, from
south of Russell Branch Parkway to Trailview Boulevard across Tuscarora Creek. Per the Town
Plan Amendment, the following four criteria must be met for the proposed auto related uses.
1. The property must be zoned for light industrial use.
2. The design of development adjacent to Route 7 meets design guidelines.
3. A substantial buffer is provided to residential development south of Tuscarora Creek.
4. New auto dealership uses may be appropriate east of the Lowes property identified as
PIN # 149460836 and the Town Wastewater Treatment Plant provided the first 3
objectives are met.
Mr. Parker noted that the Application meets all of these guidelines per the Town Plan. There are
other sections of the Town Plan that are relevant to this case and include:
• Chapter 2, Natural Resources — In compliance due to the significant protection of
Tuscarora Creek and its' floodplain and the provision of the 150 foot creek valley buffer
• Chapter 3, Parks and Recreation- In compliance due to the provision of the Greenway
Trail connection.
• Chapter 7, Economic Development - In compliance due to fiscal impact study which
shows a significant net positive to the Town by the allowance of these new auto
dealerships
Mr. Parker addressed the proffers as follows:
• H-2 Guidelines: Land Bay A (dealership adjacent to Route 7) is within the H-2 and
subject to review criteria. The Applicant is proffering Land Bay B (dealership to the
south of Russell Branch Parkway) also be subject to and part of the H-2
• Tuscarora Creek Greenway Trail: Proffer to build a 10 foot section of the Tuscarora
Creek Greenway Trail across their property, from a connection with a portion of the trail
being built by the Village at Leesburg, to the boundary with the Town of Leesburg Public
Works/Utilities facilities.
• Fire Rescue Contribution: Proffer for $0.10 per gross square foot of development
contribution towards fire and rescue facilities providing service to the property.
• Site Lighting: Proffered lighting standards as indicated within the Concept Development
Plan associated with the Special Exception.
• Off-site Transportation Contribution: Cash contribution of $237,460 for off-site
transportation related improvements in the vicinity of the property.

Leesburg Planning Commission
December 1, 2016 Minutes
• Tree Preservation: A significant proffer has been offered related to the protection of trees
within the floodplain of Tuscarora Creek.
• Route 7/Battlefield Interchange: Proffer to reserve a strip of land along Route 7 frontage
for use by VDOT (if needed) for the design of the Route 7/Battlefield Parkway
interchange.
• Keystone Drive Connection: Applicant is reserving a 60 foot wide strip of land adjacent
to the western property boundary between Keystone Drive right-of-way and the southern
property boundary as open space for a period of twenty-one years in the event the Town
of Leesburg or VDOT requires this open space for future right-of-way for a roadway
connection.
Mr. Parker moved on to discuss rezoning criteria as follows:
• Consistency with the Town Plan, including but not limited to the land use compatibility
policies: Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the policies of the Town Plan.
• Consistency with any binding agreements with Loudoun County, as amended, or any
regional planning issues, as applicable: There are no applicable binding agreements of
inconsistent regional planning issues
• Mitigation of traffic impacts, including adequate accommodation of anticipated motor
vehicle traffic volumes and emergency vehicle access: The existing transportation
network is adequate to handle the vehicular trips proposed by the development. The
developers of the Village at Leesburg and the new Lowes site provided major
improvements that will provide primary means of access to the site in the form of Russell
Branch Parkway from Battlefield Parkway to Crosstrail Boulevard. In addition, the
Applicant's Traffic Impact Analysis shows that traffic trips from the proposed
dealerships under a B-3 zoning would be significantly less than trips associated with by -
right I-1 zoning uses in this location.
• Compatibility with surrounding neighborhood and uses: Staff believes the application is
compatible with surrounding uses and adequately mitigates impacts of the proposal. The
proposed B-3 zoning and associated dealership use is appropriate with the adjoining uses,
given the significant open space and buffers provided between the closed residential on
the east and south of the site. The retail and industrial nature of the other uses should not
prove incompatible either.
• Provision of adequate public facilities: All public infrastructure required to serve the site
is either in place or will be required as part of the site development.
Mr. Parker moved on to discuss TLSE-2015-0012 the Special Exception request. Upon approval
of the rezoning application TLZM-2015-0007, vehicle sales becomes an allowable special
exception use. Vehicle Sales or Rental Facilities are subject to use standards found in Sec.
9.3.28. No materials may be stored within required setbacks, and all materials stored outside
shall be adequately buffered and screened from adjoining properties and public rights-of-way.
The Applicant is proposing one minor buffer modification and 2 DCSM modifications.
Staff has reviewed and resolved issues with site design, site traffic flow and turning movements,
landscaping and buffering, ingress and egress, site lighting, stormwater management, and design
of Keystone Drive in the vicinity of the Town's Public Works/Utilities facilities.

Leesburg Planning Commission
December 1, 2016 Minutes
Mr. Parker discussed the site design of Land Bay A noting that it fronts on Russell Branch
Parkway, Market Street/Route 7 is to the rear, there is a significant slope towards Russell Branch
Parkway, access will be from Russell Branch, Buffers and Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping is
provided per the ordinance with one minor exception, 124 parking spaces are provided which is
the required amount, and the building size will be 33,502 square feet. The landscaping plan for
Land Bay A was also discussed and Mr. Parker explained that all the buffering had been
provided, however there is a condition of approval which requires the addition of 10 trees which
the Applicant has agreed to do and will be part of the final site plan. Mr. Parker also discussed
Land Bay B site design noting that it too fronts on Russell Branch, Tuscarora Creek and its
associated floodplains to the rear, access will be from Russell Branch via Keystone Drive,
Buffers and Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping is provided, 120 parking spaces are provided
(118 required), the building size is 33, 502 square feet, significant open space is provided, and a
10 foot multi -use trail is provided. The cul-de-sac is reduced in size due to Leesburg Police
Department referral comments to discourage parking in the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Parker moved on to building design and noted that Land Bay A is located in the H-2 and the
Applicant has proffered Land Bay B into the H-2. The BAR reviewed the General Concept Plan
in June of 2016 and a resolution was provided to the Applicant which provided comments that
needed to be addressed. The Applicant revised drawings and the BAR reviewed these on
November 21, 2016 and amended their resolution endorsing the conceptual design of the
buildings. Final BAR approval will be required at final Site Plan.
Buffering and Screening were addressed and Mr. Parker noted that both Russell Branch Parkway
and Keystone Drive frontages have the required Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping,
approximately 10 trees will need to be placed in Perimeter Parking Lot A, and shrubs are to be
placed in vehicle display areas. All buffers provided to adjacent land uses with one modification
requested for Buffer Yard F. There are significant utilities located in this area. A 50 foot wide
S3 buffer is required to be planted in this location. The Applicant is proposing a 60 foot yard
buffer located in a 10 foot area as opposed to a 50 foot area. Staff recommends approval of this
modification request. Additionally there are 2 DCSM modification requests with regard to
intersection spacing and minimum cul-de-sac radius.
Mr. Parker reviewed the Special Exception standards TLZO Section 9.3.28) and application
compliance as follows:
1. Sales rooms, rental offices, or service facilities shall be located within an enclosed
building — All activity of the dealership is proposed indoors, and Special Exception
Condition #4 ensures compliance with this condition.
2. The outdoor area devoted to storage, loading, parking and display of goods shall be
limited to that area so designated on an approved site plan. Such area shall not be used
for the storage or display of vehicles in inoperable condition as defined in Section 32-147
of the Town Code. — Special Exception Condition #5 ensures compliance with this
condition.

Leesburg Planning Commission
December 1, 2016 Minutes
3. All outdoor areas used for parking, storage, loading, display, and driveways shall be
constructed and maintained with an all-weather dustless surface. — The only surfaces
proposed with this application are all-weather dustless surfaces (asphalt).
4. All lighting fixtures used to illuminate outdoor areas shall be designed to avoid glare in
surrounding areas. The facility shall be lit only during the hours that the facility is open
for business, except for necessary security lighting — The Applicant has submitted a
lighting plan that shows compliance with this standard although there is no written
commitment to the requirement of the facility being lit only during business hours.
5. A lighting plan shall be submitted to verify that all lighting fixtures are directed onto the
site, and will not impact adjacent properties or roadways —A site lighting plan has been
submitted with this application that shows compliance with this condition, per Ordinance
requirements.
Mr. Parker reviewed Special Exception Approval Criteria TLZO Section 3.4.12 as follows:
1. The proposed use will not adversely affect the use of neighboring properties. — The site is
adjacent to a variety of uses on all sides, including a Lowes store, a parking lot for a
movie theater, the Town's Public Works and Utilities facilities, and significant open
space for a residential land bay at the Village at Leesburg. There are residential uses
proposed on Land Bay C of the Village at Leesburg, but the nearest unit will be
approximately 980 feet away. Other residential units will be within the adjacent
Tuscarora Creek development within Loudoun County, but the closest units will be
across Tuscarora Creek and its accompanying floodplain, placing any potential units a
significant distance away. Staff believes that potential compatibility issues have been
addressed through site design, proffers, and the conditions of approval. The proposed
dealerships are compatible with neighboring properties.
2. The use shall comply with applicable zoning district regulations and applicable
provisions of the adopted Town Plan, including but not limited to the Plan's Land Use
Compatibility Policies — The proposed auto dealerships comply with the Town Plan and
the accompanying Land Use Policy Map. This was formalized by the approval of TLTA-
2015-0003 as discussed earlier. If the rezoning of the B-3 district is approved, then a
Special Exception application for vehicle sales and service is permitted, thus complying
with zoning district requirements.
3. The location, size, and height of buildings, structures, walls, fences, and the nature and
extent of screening, buffering, and landscaping shall be such that the use will not hinder
or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent or nearby land and/or
buildings — Appropriate landscaping, buffering, and screening are provided to ensure
compatibility with the use of adjacent and nearby lands, which are all approved for
development or are already developed. Site design through the H-2 process will further
ensure building design compatibility.
4. The proposed use will be such that pedestrian and vehicular traffic generated will not be
hazardous or conflict the existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood and on the
streets serving the site — The dealership uses will generate limited traffic. Russell Branch
Parkway has sufficient capacity to handle the expected traffic. Sidewalks and trails are
adjacent to both sites. Staff finds that the proposal will not inhibit safe and convenient
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

TLSE-2015-0013 subject to the following conditions:
a) Substantial Conformance — Development of this property shall be in substantial

h) Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping — On Land Bay A, the Perimeter Parking Lot
shall have trees added to it at the time of site plan per the Zoning Ordinance. The
requirement is 1 tree for every 40 feet of frontage.
Christine Gleckner, Land Use Planner, Walsh Colucci, came forward as the Applicant's
representative and noted that while she did have a presentation prepared, staff was so thorough in
their presentation she did not have anything to add. The Applicant concurs with Staff's
recommendations and conditions of approval and will be available to answer any questions the
Commission may have.
Chairman Welsh Chamblin invited the public to speak to this application.
Eric Westergard, Leesburg Virginia, came forward and expressed his desire for the Commission
to send a recommendation of denial of the Special Exception for Land Bay B due to concerns
regarding large impervious surfaces, floodplain issues and recreation and bike trail uses.
Chairman Welsh Chamblin solicited clarifying questions from the Commission members.
Commissioner Kidder asked if it had been considered to mitigate some of the impervious
surfaces with pervious surfaces. Bill Ackman, Director, Plan Review, responded that there was
always room to do pervious pavement and concrete to try to mitigate impervious surface area.
However, when dealing with an auto dealership you have to be careful when using these types of
products. An auto dealership is considered to be a "Hot Spot". Meaning there will be fleets of
cars on that surface and this could actually cause more harm to the environment. If pervious
surfaces are to be used it would be limited to areas away from the vehicles. This was done at
Leesburg Toyota and there may be some opportunities to do this at site plan.
Commissioner Robinson asked if Keystone Drive was a public road and if there would be
signage on Route 7 to attract customers to the site. Mr. Parker responded that it is a public road
and that they would be allowed signage per the ordinance. The ordinance prohibits off-site
signage.
Commissioner Kidder asked if the trail that was being provided would alleviate concerns
expressed by Mr. Westergard. Mr. Parker explained that the Greenway Corridor Trail goes from
Loudoun County across Land Bay C of the Village at Leesburg, continues cross the subject
property and across Battlefield Parkway. The Applicant is providing a 10 foot wide asphalt
multi -use portion of that trail in addition to the 150 foot Creek Valley Buffer. There is a variety
of slopes and vegetation being saved.
Chairman Welsh Chamblin asked for additional clarifying questions. Seeing none, she closed
the public hearing and solicited Planning Commission comment and discussion.
Commissioner Harper expressed concerns regarding the amount of impervious surface proposed
and asked that this be considered at site plan. She noted that she would be supporting this
application this evening, despite concerns regarding the reduction in the availability of I-1 zoned
property.
P
Leesburg Planning Commission
December 1, 2016 Minutes
Commissioner Babbin expressed her support of this application as she felt it was an appropriate
use for this property. She noted that it is currently zoned for light industrial use and the land
owner could build something with the same amount of impervious surface by -right.
Commissioner Burk commented that he would like to see pervious surfaces used in the
appropriate areas. There is a significant amount of open space area due to the floodplain and
there are paths on both sides of Russell Branch Parkway to accommodate pedestrians and
cyclists. It was his opinion that this was an appropriate use for this area and he was in support of
this application.
Commissioner Robinson expressed concerns regarding the location and lack of pedestrian
accessibility and the reduced turn -around not being large enough to accommodate car carriers.
Mr. Ackman explained that the intent was to discourage the car carriers from unloading in the
cul-de-sac area and along the road. They want the carriers to unload inside the site and not in the
public right-of-way. Additional concerns exist regarding the Town's Public Works trucks and
possible interference with plow trucks. Staff did coordinate with the Director and Deputy
Director of Public Works on the radius and operation of the cul-de-sac and all were in favor of
the reduced radius.
Commissioner Kidder wished to compliment the Applicant on the landscaping and proffering to
the H-2 for building design. She felt that this would be a nice addition to the Village at Leesburg
and Lowes in terms of compatibility. She encouraged the Applicant to consider pervious
surfaces where appropriate. She offered to make the motion at the appropriate time.
Commissioner Barnes commented that he too felt that this was an appropriate use for this area
and also supported flood mitigation efforts.
Chairman Welsh Chamblin thanked both Town staff and the Applicant for their work on this
application. She noted that the need to develop an industrial/research park has not been
demonstrated recently and felt that the rezoning was appropriate in this instance. She too agreed
that pervious surfaces should be incorporated where appropriate.
Commissioner Kidder made the following motion:
I move that Zoning Map Amendment TLZM-2015-0007, Brown's Car Stores, be forwarded to
the Town Council with a recommendation of approval on the basis that the Approval Criteria of
Zoning Ordinance Sections 3.3.15 have been satisfied and that the proposal would serve the
public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice.
Second: Commissioner Barnes
Chairman Welsh Chamblin called for discussion on the motion. Seeing none, she called for the
