District NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES:

There are no known significant natural resources or cultural features associated with this site.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being in the North Princess Anne Commons section of Princess Anne Commons. Adjacent land uses are the Farmers Market, retail shops, a residential area, public parkland, and a cemetery. (pp. 4-4, 4-5) The general planning principles for the North Princess Anne Commons Area focus on high quality development and encourage all projects to be environmentally responsible by employing energy efficient systems, preferably equivalent to or higher than the standards set for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM) ‘Certified’ rating. Energy efficient systems can be applied to existing buildings through operation and maintenance and may include the use of renewable and clean sources of energy, monitoring use of energy and water, recycling, improving indoor environmental quality, and improving a building’s performance. (p. 4-4) Design guidelines applicable to this site are found in the ‘Princess Anne Commons Design Guidelines’ and the ‘Princess Anne Corridor Study’, both adopted by reference as part of the Comprehensive Plan. These guidelines address landscaping, screening, lighting, and general architecture. (Princess Anne Corridor Study, pp. 15-17)

CITY SERVICES

MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Dam Neck Road is a four-lane major suburban arterial. It is shown on the Master Transportation Plan map as a divided roadway with a 150-foot right-of-way. There are no CIP projects on this segment of Dam Neck Road. Princess Anne Road is a major suburban arterial that transitions from eight lanes north of Dam Neck Road to four lanes adjacent to much of the site to two lanes south the of the site access point. This section of Princess Anne Road is shown as a parkway with a 250-foot right-of-way in the Master Transportation Plan map. There is currently a CIP project, #2-305, to widen the two-lane parkway. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2010 and end by May 2014.

3 as defined by a 5,880 ft2 health/fitness club WATER & SEWER: This site currently connects to City water and sanitary sewer. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The proposed Tae Kwon Do facility will operate out of one of the units of the existing Landstown Commons Shopping Center. This use will not negatively affect other users within the retail area. The proposed use will not require additional parking spaces. Based on City code, the parking requirement for any use within a shopping center does not change except for restaurants, religious uses, and theaters. Staff also finds that these types of indoor recreational facilities can help support other businesses within the shopping center without generating an increase in traffic to the site. The proposal is also in keeping with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. The shopping center where the proposed use will locate already meets the design guidelines and no additional site design enhancements are necessary for the proposed used. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.

CONDITIONS

1. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspection from the Planning Department / Permit and Inspections Division and the Fire Department. The applicant shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the change of use from the Building Official.



NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning / Development Services Center and Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid. The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.
