AiCkJZ. January 23, 1985 - 6b CHANC;ES IN READING OF CCMPREHENSIVE PLAN-BA,YSIDE MMY AREA Page 19-DENSI'IY The density for new develo@t in Bayside has averaged 10.4 units per acre. This increase has occurred because of the shift toward constructim of nulti-family units and the developnient of residential areas at maxinm zoning densities. This tendency toward higher density ahould be abated. Page @'PROJECRIONS The Comprehensive Plan recomtlends a housing mix of single and rulti-family develo@t that will deter the current trend toward higher densit soide. If the trend towar er s3-ty reS3. entj-ai deveiommt were a to ccur through the entire plaming period, two things nay occur in t e y 1. the projected housing mix niay be significantly altered, with the being primrily t es and apar@ts; and 2. it can be anticipated that future population will exceed the Conprehensive Plan rec@dations.

The northern half of the City can be characterized as urban and the southern as rural , general ly speaking. The City's rapid growth Is proceeding In the form of urbanization moving In a southerly direction a5 land converts from agricultural to higher density residential commercial and Industrial. The man- agementof thistrendisessential lnordertominimlzetheconflicts which arise frorn the locatlon of Incompatible uses In close proximity to one another. In addition, the tendency for urbanization beyond available fnfrasturcture must be regulated In order to r(laintain an orderly and predictable transition which can be balanced with the requ[site upgrading of facilities and service5, from those levels necessary to serve a rural area to those necessary to serve an urban area. The Plan therefore provides a method of orderly transition from urban, where facilities are planned or programmed to accornmodate growth, to rural, where the facilities are planned to serve a predominantly rural population, thus malntaining the traditional values and economies of the agricultural Industry. The place where this transition occurs Is displayed graphtcally in the Land Use Plan and has come to be known as the "Gr,-,en Line". The Green Line Is the City's most effective tool in managing this transftion. It Is shown In tl)is plan and divides the City Into two geographic parts. North of the Green Llne lie those areas where faclifties are adequate to support urban development or where efforts will be made to make them adequate within what Is deemed to be a reasonable period of time. South of the Green Line lie those areas where facilities are not adequate for urban developmentand wherenoeffortsare beingmadeto Install facilities to support additional development In the near future. Because of this distlnction the Green Llne may be viewed as a line, below which rezoning toencourage urbanization will not have therequ[site supporting facilities to merlt approval.The Green Line is not a permanent feature, but Is subject to change as conditions and community standards related to adequacy of facilities change. As the City makes progress toward Its goal of reducing the time delay between growth and facility adequacy, it may be desirable to change the locatlon of the Green Line accordingly. I January 23, 1985 7c PROPOSED WORDING: A TRANSITION FROM URBAN TO RT)RAL ME GREEN LINER Virginia Beach encompasses an area of approximately ;00 5quare miles. The northern half of the City can be characterized as urban and the southern as rural, generally speaking. The City's rapid growth Is proceeding In the form of urbanizatlon moving In a southerly direction as land converts from agricultural to higher density residential commercial and Industrial. The man- agementof thistrend lsessential lnordertominimizetheconflicts which arise from the location of incompatible uses In close proximity to one another. In addftlon, the tendency for urbanization beyond available infrasturcture must be regulated In order to maintain an orderly and predictable transition which can be balanced with the requisite upgrading of facilities and services, frorri those levels necessary to serve a rural area to those necessary to serve an urban area. The Plan therefore provides a method of orderly transition fron, urban, where facilities are planned or programmed to accommodate growth, to rural, where the facllities are planned to serve a predorninantly rural population, thus maintaining the traditional values and economies of the agricultural Industry. The place where this transition occurs Is displayed graphically In the Land Use Plan and has come to be known as the "Green Line". The Green Line Is the City's most effective tool in managing thi@ transition. It Is shown In this plan and divides the City Into two geographtc parts. North of the Green Line lie those areas where facilitles are adequate to support urban development or where efforts will be made to make them a(iequdte within what Is deemed to be a reasonable period of time. South of tl)e Creen Line lie those areas where facilities are not adequate for urban developmentandwherenoeffort5arebeingmddeto Install facilities to support additional development in the near tuture. Some of these areas, however, are currently zoned for development which would be associated more with an urbanized area than with a rural area even though they lie below the Green Line. Therefore, due to their proxlmlty to the Green Line Itself and the need for an orderly transition from urban to rural In this general area, an lmpi"entation plan shall be prepared which will phase and sequence the provision of municipal facilities and services for the gradual transition of these areas from their rural nature to the uses allowed under existing zoning provided no serious environmental constraints preclude such development. The Green L i ne may then be v I eved as a I I ne, be I ow wh i ch rozon I ng to encourage further density Increases wiII not have the addlttonal supporting facilities above those set forth in the fmplewntation plan to merit approval. The Green Line Is not a permanent feature, but is subject to change as conditions and community standards related to adequacy of facilities change. As the City makes progress January 21, 1985 7d toward Its goal of reducing the time delay between growth and facility adequacy, It my be desirable to change the location of the Green Line In accor-dance wlth an established Implementation plan designed to provide adequate facilities and services for that purpose. However. this Plan shall be construed as r nding no Increase In residential density beyond what Is now allowed by rlght or conditional use permit under the existing zoning on property south of the Green Line for the next flve years. PAGE 27 COLUMN 3 PRESENT WORDING: PUBLIC FACILITY CONSTRAINTS A. Transportation The Courthouse-Sandbridge Study Area Is divided by the Green Line, a boundary separating areas where public facilities are sufficient to support additional development from areas where such support Is not In place. The area south of this Green Line Is considered to be premature for development at this time. The present rural road system Is adequate to support the traffic volumes associated with this rural area. PROPOSED WORDING: PUBLIC FACILITY ODNSTRAINTS A. Transportation The Courthouse-Sandbrfdge Study Area Is divided by the Green Line, a boundary separating areas where public facilities are sufficient to support additional development from areas where such support Is not In place. The area south of this Green Line Is considereci to be premature for development at this time. However, due to the current zoning on some undeveloped parcels In this area, limited development may be anticipated In the short term. In light of this, an Implementation plan shal I be prepared to provide an overal I strategy almd at progr@ing adequate facilities as these areas develop In a phased fashion over time. The present rural road system Is adequate to support the traffic volumes associated with this rural area In Its present state. January 23, 1985 7e PAGE 28 COLUMN 2 PRESENT WORDING: STRATEGY The courthouse-Sandbridge Study Area is the area of the city most I I ke I y to change I n the years to come. Severe overloading of public facilities and environmental conflicts may occur unless a careful development strategy is produced. Future municipal land use actions should be geared to the changes In this area, and should seek to establish a reasonable pattern Of development. The Study Area I s separated Into two distinct di5trlcts by the "Green Line". The "Green Line" basical ly fol lows an east to west I I ne a I ong Sandbr I dge Road and Pr I ncess Anne Road.

PROPOSED WORDING: STRATEGY The Courthouse-Sandbridge Study Area is the area of ttie city most likely to change in the years to come. Severe overloading of public facilities and environmental conflicts may occur unless a careful development strategy is produced. Future municipal land use actions should be geared to the changes In this area, and should seek tO e5tablish a reasonable pattern of development. The Study Area Is separated Into two distinct districts by the "Green Line". The "Green Line" basically follows an east to west line along Sandbridge Road and Princess Anne Road. The line Is drawn along this corridor based on the availability and adequacy of public facilities, especially the road system, to handle the p I anned I and uses. The Green L I ne may be v I ewed as a I i ne, be I ow which rezonings to encourage density Increases above those allowed under current zoning will not have the additional supportlng facilities above those set forth In the Implementation plan to mrit approval, and thus this plan does not recommand any Increase In residential density beyond what Is now allowed by right or conditional use permit under the existing zoning on property south of the Green Line for the next five years. January 23, 1985 7f PAGE 29 COLUMN 1 PRESENT WORDING: As an exception to the above, those areas whlch I le south Of the proposed al Ignment of Ferrel I Parkway but north of Princess Anne Road and Sandbridge Road and west of the Lago Mar subdivi- sion w[ I I be developed in sfngle-fami ly detached residentlal use at an average overa I I dens i ty not to exceed 2 dwe I I I ng un i ts per acre. Again, floodway area should not be glven credit toward overall density. Those areas west of Princess Anne Road and south of Sandbridge Road are areas of prime agricultural land with key econo(nic Importance. The residential development In these areas Is scattered and at low density, and the rural character of the area Is established. These areas should stay In agri- cultural use and should not be subject to residential expansion. PROPOSED WORDING: As an exception to the above, those areas which lie south of the proposed alignment of Ferrell Parkway but north of Princess Anne Road and Sandbridge Road and west of the Lago Mar subdivi- sion will be developed In stngle-family detached residential use at an average overall density not to exceed 2 dwelling unit5 per acre. Again, floodway area should not be given credit toward overall denslty. Those areas west of Princess Anne Road and south of Sandbridge Road are areas of prime agrlcultural land with key economic Importance. The residential development In these areas Is scattered and at low density, and the rural character of the area Is established. These areas should stay in agricult- ural use and should not be subject to resldential expansion beyond that which Is allowed under existing zoning for at least five years, and then shou I d be I n accordance w I th an adopted I mp I emenat I on plan for such development.
