and typically an appraiser or a consultant verifies the zoning of said
property. It was upon the verification that some buildings did not
meet the required separation and the density was over by one unit.
When reviewing the case, it was Staff's first determination to deem
the property Legally Non-Conforming. However, upon further
review and consideration the decision was made to seek an official
approval from the Board to deem the property Legally Conforming
through granting of a variance.
The 2002 Zoning Ordinance Section 3.3 regulates the building
separation and the required density. The ordinance requires
detached buildings be separated by 20 feet or the height of the
building, whichever is greater. Two existing detached buildings do
not meet the separation requirement. The buildings are 13 feet
apart, Building 10 a Type I Building, is approximately 46 feet tall
and Building 11, a Type III Building is approximately 36 feet tall.
In addition, the maximum density allowed is 15 units per acre.
However, the established development contains 16 units per acre.
The gross acre for the subject property is 20.48 acres, which yields
15 dwelling units per acre. The right-of-way for Woodbridge
Parkway was included in the original calculations. However, when
the right-of-way was ultimately dedicated and deducted, the net
acres were 19.45 yielding 16 dwelling units per acre.
The applicant/Owner is requesting the minimum separation be set
to ten (10) feet for all existing structures and to allow a maximum
density of 16 units per net acres.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to nine property owners within
200 feet of the request. No responses were received in favor or in
opposition of the request.

Ms. Courtney Hill, 600 Woodbridge Parkway, Business Manager for
