Development of the Property for a worship center (The Sanctuary) is planned. The Sanctuary would be served by public water and a private septic system. The Property is located within a mandatory water and wastewater connection area, necessitating an exception to Section 18-60 of the County Code for connection to the public wastewater system. Conditions would limit this development to worship uses, provide utility easements for future extension of the County public wastewater system, and require connection to the public wastewater system in the event the system is extended within 200 feet of the subject property.

PLANNING - APPROVAL Proposed use is permitted by right today and complies with the Land Use Plan designation within the Comprehensive Plan. As conditioned, easements for public wastewater would facilitate future utility extensions. UTILITIES - DENIAL No topographic or sewer capacity limitations exist that would prevent connection to public wastewater system. Relief of public utility connection will likely result in other properties seeking similar exceptions. The request may adversely impact the extension of public wastewater system to area properties. NOTES FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

1. Conditions may be imposed, or the property owner may proffer conditions. 2. Proffered conditions have been submitted by the applicant.

UTILITIES • No topographic or sewer capacity limitations exist that would prevent connection to public wastewater system • Failure to extend public wastewater system to the subject property will adversely affect:

o Achieving the highest and best land uses suggested by the Comprehensive Plan o Public utility service to area properties that currently use private septic systems

• Relief of public wastewater connection could result in other properties seeking similar exceptions

Comprehensive Plan – Land Use Plan Designation The Comprehensive Plan designates the Property for Suburban Residential II, which suggests the Property is appropriate for residential development at a maximum density of 2.0 to 4.0 dwellings per acre. Proposal A worship center (The Sanctuary), which is permitted by right in the Agricultural (A) District, is planned. The property is located within a mandatory water and wastewater connection area. As proposed, the worship center would be served by public water and a private septic system. The proposal requires an exception to Section 18-60 of the County Code to connect to the public wastewater system. Conditions would limit this development to a worship center, provide utility easements for future extension of the County public wastewater system. In addition, a require connection to the public wastewater system when the system is extended within 200’ of the subject property. Exceptions to Mandatory Wastewater Connection Section 18-60 of the County Code requires the use of public systems for properties located within the Mandatory Wastewater Connection Area. An exception to the use of public systems must be evaluated by the Directors of Utilities and Planning, the Planning Commission, and subsequently by the Board of Supervisors. The decision of such exceptions must be based upon the following criteria:

• Would the use of private systems encourage future area development inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and

• Would the ability to extend the public system to other property be adversely affected

Planning staff finds this request to use a private septic system limited to a worship center on the Property, as conditioned, complies with the Comprehensive Plan and would not adversely affect the ability to extend the public wastewater system to other properties.

This request will have no impact on the transportation network.


1. The request site is within a mandatory connection area for public water and wastewater for new non-residential

development. 2. Public water is not available. The closest line is within the Forest View subdivision, approximately 550 feet from

the request site. 3. Public wastewater is not available. The closest line that could be extended to provide service by gravity is

located approximately 3,700 feet southeast of the request site. a. An estimated cost for this extension is approximately $644,000.00. Should design analysis dictate that a

size larger than needed for this development would be appropriate, under County Code provisions the extension would qualify for oversizing refunds.

b. There are no physical conflicts or system capacity limitations that would make this extension unfeasible. c. The applicant is requesting an exception to the mandatory wastewater connection requirement.

4. To address the Utilities Departments concerns, and in keeping with other similar wastewater connection exception requests, the applicant has submitted proffers which:

a. Ties the exception to the property shown on a specific site plan, as long as the use is limited to a worship center.

b. Provides for the dedication of public wastewater easements to facilitate future service to adjacent properties.

c. Requires extension to property and connection of all structures if the public wastewater system is extended to within 200 feet of the property.

d. Requires connection to the public water system with site development. 5. Based on County Code requirements, the Utilities Department does not support this request.

Case Contacts


Mission & Service Profile The mission of Chesterfield Fire and Emergency Medical Services (CFEMS) is to protect life, property, and the environment. This requires a comprehensive portfolio of services aimed at preventing fires, mitigating the impact of fires and disasters on the community, and providing a timely and effective response when fires, medical and other emergencies occur. Community risks, population growth and demographic changes, service demands, and response times are reviewed annually and the need for additional Fire & EMS operating and capital resources in support of the department’s mission is evaluated during the county’s annual budget and 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) processes. Community Fire Protection Capabilities Assessment Chesterfield Fire and EMS participates in the Insurance Services Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) program, which rates a community’s fire protection capabilities in accordance with the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). Using the FSRS, the ISO performs a comprehensive evaluation of a community’s fire department, water supply, emergency communications and community risk reduction efforts. The resulting score establishes a PPC rating from 1 to 10, with Class 1 being the best possible rating. Many insurance carriers reference a community’s PPC rating in establishing insurance premiums. Generally, communities with a Class 1 rating enjoy lower insurance premiums than those communities with a Class 10 rating. Chesterfield County has a current community classification of 2/2Y; however, some portions are classified as 10 or 10W based on the parameters indicated below. Class 2 - within 5 miles of a fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. Class 2Y – within 5 miles of a fire station but not within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. Class 10W – within 5-7 miles of a fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. Class 10 – outside of 5 miles of a fire station and not within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant.
