Long-Range Land Use Plan Analysis
Through wise land use planning, the County ensures that landowners are provided a reasonable use
of their land while the County is able to judiciously use its resources to provide the services for
residents and employers’ needs. The Long Range Land Use Plan sets out policies and action
strategies that further the County’s goal of concentrating population, jobs, and infrastructure within
vibrant, walkable, mixed-use centers serviced by transit. In addition to delineating land uses on the
Long Range Land Use Map, the plan includes smart growth principles that promote a countywide
pattern of land use that encourages fiscally sound development and achieves a high-quality living
environment; promotes distinct centers of commerce and centers of community; complements and
respects our cultural and natural resources, and preserves historic landscapes and site-specific
cultural resources; provides adequate recreational, park, open space and trail amenities that
contribute to a high quality of life for county residents; and revitalizes, protects, and preserves
existing neighborhoods.
This site is located within the development area of the County and is classified SRM, Suburban
Residential Medium, but is part of the previously approved Heritage Hunt PMD which anticipates
B-1 uses for this landbay. The following table summarizes the uses and densities intended within
the SRM designation.

Long-Range Land Use
Plan Classification
Land Uses Intended
Suburban Residential
Medium (SRM)
The purpose of the Suburban Residential Medium
classification is to provide for a variety of housing
opportunities at a moderate suburban density, greater than
that of the SRL classification. The preferred housing type in
this classification is single-family. The density range in
SRM projects is 4-6 dwellings per gross acre, less the ER,
Environmental Resource-designated portion of a property.
Cluster housing and the use of the planned unit development
concept may occur, provided that such clustering and
planned district development furthers valuable
environmental objectives as stated in EN-Policy 1 and EN-
Policy 4 of the Environment Plan, the intent stated in the
Cultural Resources Plan and preserves valuable cultural
resources throughout the county.
The site is located 900 ft. southeast of Catharpin Road and Heathcote Boulevard The subject
SUP area is +/-1.13 acres. This property is zoned PMD, Planned Mixed Use District.
This is a request to allow a motor vehicle fuel station with quick service food store. The SUP
plan depicts a fueling station containing three pump islands with a maximum of 12 fueling
positions under a canopy, as well as a by-right quick service food store.
Proposal’s Strengths
Use - The proposed use is permitted as a special use in the B-1 zoning district, which is the
guiding use district for Landbay 2 of the PMD. The applicant has provided a condition to
ensure substantial compliance with the special permit plan entitled “Sims Property Landbay 2
SUP #PLN2011-00110” dated October 20, 2014. The proposed uses and layout is consistent
with the anticipated development for this Landbay.
Proposal’s Weaknesses

Community Design Plan Analysis
An attractive, well-designed County will attract quality development, instill civic pride, improve the
visual character of the community, and create a strong, positive image of Prince William County.
The Community Design Plan sets out policies and action strategies that further the County’s goals
of providing quality development and a quality living environment for residents, businesses and
visitors, and creating livable and attractive communities. The plan includes recommendations
relating to building design, site layout, circulation, signage, access to transit, landscaping and
streetscaping, community open spaces, natural and cultural amenities, stormwater management, and
the preservation of environmental features. The plan also includes Illustrative Gateway/Corridor
Design Guidelines that recommend streetscaping elements (architecture, landscaping, signage,
lighting, street furnishings, and pedestrian connections) to be incorporated into projects within the
five gateways and corridors.
Section 15.2-2283 of the Code of Virginia states that Zoning Ordinances shall be designed to give
reasonable consideration to the purpose of facilitating creation of a convenient, attractive, and
harmonious community.
Proposal’s Strengths
Building Location - The building is sited directly adjacent to Heathcote Boulevard and
Specialized Trail without intervening pavement which is encouraged in the Plan and helps
define the space better.
Architecture - The applicant has conditioned building elevations that offer four-sided
architecture and quality materials. As proposed, brick and stone are the primary façade
materials. A parapet wall has been provided on the roof top to ensure mechanical equipment is
screened from view.
Proposal’s Weaknesses
Sidewalk – The applicant does not show a sidewalk along Specialized Trail. A sidewalk is
required and necessary to provide internal pedestrian connectivity. The applicant provided
denser vegetation in lieu of providing a sidewalk.
On balance, this application is found to be consistent with the relevant components of the
Community Design Plan.
Cultural Resources Plan Analysis
The term “cultural resources” refers to the important architectural and/or archaeological features
that may be on a site, either from the period of recorded history (historic period) or prior to that
time (prehistoric period). The Cultural Resources Plan recommends that professional architectural
historians and/or professional archaeologists study properties containing cultural resources or
highly suspected of containing such resources. These professionals conduct Phase I, Phase II, and
Attachment B

SUP #PLN2011-00110, Heritage Hunt-Sims Property
Page B-5
Phase III levels of research/investigation, depending on the significance of the architectural or
archaeological features, and provide recommendations on how important resources should be
managed.
Phase I studies are generally required at submission of rezoning and special use permit applications
for significant prehistoric/historic sites and cemeteries and for sites within historic resource
management overlays. Phase II and III studies may also be required. Records research is required
of all applicants for rezoning, special use permit, comprehensive pan amendment, and public
facilities review applications.
The current project area has already been graded and has no archaeological potential. No
archaeological studies are warranted.
Proposal’s Strengths
The Historical Commission reviewed this application at their October 12, 2010 meeting and
determined that no further work is necessary.

Page B-9
system that meets the demands for intra- and inter-county trips, is integrated with existing and
planned development, and provides a network of safe, efficient, and accessible modes of
travel. The plan includes recommendations addressing safety, minimizing conflicts with
environmental and cultural resources, maximizing cost effectiveness, increasing accessibility of all
travel modes, minimizing projected trip demand, and providing sufficient network
capacity. Projects should include strategies that result in a level of service (LOS) of “D” or better
on all roadway corridors and intersections, reduce traffic demand through transportation demand
management strategies, dedicate planned rights-of-way, provide and/or fund transit infrastructure,
pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and improved and coordinated access to transit facilities.
Access to the site is proposed from a private roadway to the west of the property that connects to
Specialized Trail across from Cannondale Way.
A sidewalk is not shown on Specialized Trail on the SUP. The Applicant notes that a pedestrian
network was approved as part of the rezoning (REZ #PLN2009-00177) associated with the site,
which only includes a sidewalk along the eastern side of Specialized Trail. Because of this, the
additional area would be available for landscaping along the west side, adjacent to the proposed
gas/convenience store. The Applicant notes that they will submit a waiver if necessary to maintain
the additional area for landscaping. The applicant has provided a pedestrian circulation exhibit.
Transportation staff does not agree with the omission of the sidewalk, therefore a condition has
been added to address Transportation Department concerns.
Proposal’s Strengths
Traffic Signal – A traffic signal is proffered with Heritage Hunt – Sims Property at the
intersection of Specialized Trail and Heathcote Boulevard. The Applicant notes that a warrant
study for signalization at the Heathcote Boulevard/Specialized Trail intersection has been
approved and that the signal is currently under design.
Parking – The amount of parking shown on the SUP plan is sufficient for the proposed use.
Delivery Times - The Applicant has agreed in draft condition 2.b. that truck deliveries using the
loading space will not make deliveries between 7-9 AM or 5-7 PM. This issue has been
adequately addressed.
Proposal’s Weaknesses
Specialized Trail Sidewalk - Transportation staff has reviewed the proffered illustrative plan
associated with REZ #PLN2009-00177 and believes the sidewalk is necessary on both sides of
Specialized Trail to connect the sidewalk segments between Heathcote Boulevard and
Cannondale Way. Transportation believes the sidewalk should be constructed.
On balance, this application is found to be consistent with the relevant components of the
Transportation Plan, provided the condition for the sidewalk be maintained in the proposed
Development Conditions.
