ELECTION DISTRICT(S): Broad Run & Dulles CRITICAL ACTION DATE: September 17, 2018 STAFF CONTACT(S): Richard W. Hancock, AICP, Project Manager, Planning and Zoning Kenny Young, Acting Director, Planning and Zoning
Erin McLellan, Department of Management and Budget Naeem Mia, Department of Management and Budget
PURPOSE: To provide the Committee with additional analysis of the capital facilities impacts of this development as well as revenue detail requested by the Committee. Also, LCPS staff has provided additional information regarding student generation, elementary school site development and programmatic costs, suburban vs. urban school facility considerations and information on the physical education program within urban schools. RECOMMENDATION(S): Transportation and Land Use Committee: At the TLUC meeting on May 15, 2018, TLUC agreed by consensus to continue discussion at future TLUC meetings based on the work plan outlined in the May 15, 2018 TLUC Action Item.
Planning Commission: At the Planning Commission (Commission) Work Session on February 27, 2018, the Commission forwarded (7-1-1: Salmon opposed; Priscilla absent) the applications to the Board with a recommendation of approval subject to the Proffer Statement (Proffers) and based on the Findings for Approval.
Staff: In addition to the recommendations contained in the July 17, 2018 item, staff recommends that work continue on the analysis of facility needs and that staff return to the Committee’s September 17, 2018 Committee meeting with results of this analysis. Further, staff recommends that the Fiscal Impact Committee (FIC) be convened at the conclusion of the Comprehensive Plan revision to examine the CFS and the CIF to include standards and factors that consider urban development in all of the areas where it might occur under the Plan, as well as adequately addressing transportation improvements needed to support development, in particular urban development, which is currently not fully captured in the current CFS or CIF.
Item 4, Supplemental: Silver District West Transportation and Land Use Committee
July 17, 2018 Page 2
UPDATE: At its April 23, 2018 meeting, the Transportation Land Use Committee (TLUC) requested analysis of capital facilities needed as a result of the proposed development as well as revenue projections. Through discussion with the Committee it was apparent that Committee members were concerned with whether the proffer amounts being generated by the county’s current standards were sufficient to mitigate the impact of the proposed development particularly as it relates to schools. Since that meeting staff has focused on examining the current suburban standards for public facilities in an attempt to quantify an appropriate adjustment to account for the complexities of urban development which is new to the County. The current CIF process includes the development of general cost estimates for various facility types, based on the Capital Facility Standards (CFS). These costs are primarily based on estimates for land acquisition and construction and are developed using historical information and other general factors. Since the CIF is a high-level planning process, it does not include conducting preliminary planning studies or design/engineering in its estimation process. Once a general cost estimate for each type of facility is developed, this cost estimate is developed into a per-capita figure based on the total cost of the facility divided by the population that the facility will serve. These population figures are based on the CFS (e.g., each fire station in the Eastern planning subareas of the County serves 25,000 persons).1 The CIF that is calculated for a rezoning application is based on the per-capita cost for the population (household size and student generation) expected to be generated by that development, in excess of the base density. This is to ensure that each housing unit type in the redevelopment application is charged only for the incremental impact of the population generated by that development. It is important to remember that currently the CFS are meant to address needs in suburban and rural environments as this has been the nature of development in the County for many years. Suburban standards and the resulting CIF currently used are not able to address all of the impacts that result from urban development, particularly in the areas of additional costs associated with building in an urban area and the nature of transportation improvements that may be needed to support a densely populated area of smaller size. Transportation impacts in particular, have never been fully addressed through the County’s CIF. Now that urban development is starting to occur in the County, staff recommends that the mitigation of transportation impacts of development be more closely examined by the FIC. ISSUES: As the Comprehensive Plan is revised, staff anticipates that the Fiscal Impact Committee (FIC) would be convened at the conclusion of the Comprehensive Plan revision to examine the CFS and the CIF. Part of this effort will need to include standards and factors that consider this new type of development as well as adequately addressing transportation improvements needed to support development, in particular urban development, which is currently not fully captured in the current CFS or CIF.

Item 4, Supplemental: Silver District West Transportation and Land Use Committee
July 17, 2018 Page 3
In order to provide information to the Board during this interim time period until the Comprehensive Plan is revised and the FIC can work on this issue, staff has worked to develop a potential increase that could be applied to the Eastern CIF for this development that would allow the County to ensure public facilities are provided. DMB staff, in consultation with Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure (DTCI), conducted research to identify completed public facilities in the DC Metro area in neighboring jurisdictions and to ascertain differences in costs between those facilities located in suburban, lower-density areas and in urban, higher-density, near Metro station areas. Using this information, staff compared the per-square footage costs to Loudoun County CIF estimates for facilities. A summary of the cost differences and specific facilities examined is in Supplemental Attachment 1. Facility types considered include fire stations, libraries, community centers, and recreation centers as those facilities are more likely to exist in sufficient numbers across jurisdictions and be relatively comparable in scope and standards. Based on the wide range of differences among facility types or more detailed planning-level estimates for specific facility types, staff started with an initial estimate of a five to ten percent increase to the CIF. Because of the lack of consistent comparators for this exercise staff continued to examine the characteristics of public facilities in urban areas and believe that the 5 -10 percent range may be too low to provide facilities which provide services for these types of developments. Since the time that information was included in the staff report, staff from both the County and LCPS have continued to look at ways to approximate the additional costs of developing capital facilities in urban areas in an attempt to determine an appropriate additional cost range. Staff considered the components of construction where cost differences are likely to exist such as, parking, stormwater management, design complexities, construction material type and reinforcements if building greater than three to four stories, access/exit features and fire protection standards for higher-rise buildings. Land acquisition costs are likely to be higher on per-SF or per-acre basis but are likely to be somewhat offset by the need to acquire less land overall. The table below shows a preliminary estimate of some of the additional costs that might be incurred when building a fire station on a smaller footprint with multiple stories. This estimate is very preliminary and staff will be working on fine-tuning this analysis for a future report to the Committee.

Example: Additional Costs to Build an Urban Fire Station
Urban Building Component Approximate Additional Cost Percentage Increase
Structural reinforcement $300,000 Elevators $500,000 Stairwells $350,000 Additional sq. footage* $1,950,000 Total increase $3,400,000 23%
*Assumes that an additional 15% will be added to total sq. footage in order to accommodate for the efficiency lost by building a multi-story building. As is demonstrated by this example, staff would consider an adjustment in the range of 20 – 30% as appropriate for urban developments. This adjustment would allow for the costs of providing services within the development but also provide an interim measure of mitigation for transportation needs which will be caused by dense development but will exist outside of the development itself. Similarly, LCPS staff has indicated that an adjustment of approximately 20 percent above the current cost to construct an elementary school may be appropriate for this development. LCPS staff analysis is provided in Attachment 3. FISCAL IMPACT: In addition to the fiscal impact associated with developing County and School facilities in an urban area, the Committee requested detail on revenues that might be generated as part of this development. Additional detail on the revenue information requested by the Committee on April 23, 2018 is provided in Supplemental Attachment 2. Each scenario is briefly described as follows:
1. Current Zoning is based on the permitted uses under ZMAP-2005-0041 (Dulles Parkway Center II) and ZMAP-1990-0015 (Loudoun Parkway Center). The permitted zoning allows for up to 494 MF Attached units and 540,000 square feet of Flex/Industrial space, as well as 1,575,800 square feet of Office and 100,000 square feet of Retail space.
2. Current Zoning with Data Center development is based on Scenario 1 but assumes that the 540,000 square feet of industrial space is rezoned and developed as Data Centers. These numbers were developed at the request of the Committee.
3. The Proposed Rezoning (100% MF Attached) scenario is based on ZMAP-2013-0006 (North/Centergate Drive and South/Barrister Street). Although the exact mix of MF Attached and MF Stacked units (totaling 3,325) is to be determined, this scenario assumes that 100% of the MF units will be developed as MF Attached for purposes of developing a range.
4. The Proposed Rezoning (100% MF Stacked) scenario is based on ZMAP-2013-0006 (North/Centergate Drive and South/Barrister Street). Although the exact mix of MF Attached and MF Stacked units (totaling 3,325) is to be determined, this scenario assumes
Item 4, Supplemental: Silver District West Transportation and Land Use Committee
July 17, 2018 Page 5
that 100% of the MF units will be developed as MF Stacked for purposes of developing a range.
All inputs are from the 2017 FIC Guidelines and 2017 Capital Intensity Factors. Operating expenditures and proffer credits are not included in this analysis. DRAFT MOTIONS: 1. I move that the Transportation and Land Use Committee forward ZMAP-2013-0006, SPEX-
2016-0029, SPEX-2016-0030, SPEX-2016-0031, SPEX-2017-0032, SPMI-2016-0008, ZMOD-2017-0010, Silver District West, to the September 17, 2018 Transportation and Land Use Committee meeting for further discussion and evaluation of the topics outlined in the July 17, 2018, TLUC Action Item.
AND
I further move that the Transportation and Land Use Committee recommend that the Board of Supervisors reconvene the Fiscal Impact Committee after the Comprehensive Plan update and request that they consider an urban CIF.
OR
2. I move an alternate motion.
