Part 1: Community
Growth… The
Town, County, and
State will continue to
grow…
“In order to effectively develop a plan or
vision for the County’s future, it is important
to understand where the County has been,
where it is now, and where it is headed.”

Background: “Past population growth has been consistent
and has favored the County, which has added between 5
and 6 thousand persons per decade since 1970.” (County

The County has
projected that its
population would
grow to 65,000
persons in 2025.
(County Space
facilities needs
analysis, 2006).
The question is
not if the
Community will
continue to grow –
but where – and
how?

Legal Overview: FRLP Petition for
Boundary Line Adjustment
(Submitted with Virginia Commission on Local Government on
September 20th, 2012.)
S INITIAL TOWN POSITION – No conditions or
assurances on Annexation. Do a friendly BLA.
S Town needs: Control over design aspects/ infrastructure
of the project.
S INITIAL COUNTY POSITION – County would like
assurances as to # of units, type, and community fiscal
contributions. Do a VSA with conditions on future use and
contributions.
S County needs: Assurances as to total build-out/
Community contributions.
7
Legal Overview: There are 3 ways that
the Boundary Line Adjustment process
could proceed
① The parties agree to a friendly BLA pursuant to Va. Code
15.2-3107.
① The parties agree to a VSA pursuant to Va. Code 15.2-
3400.
① Alternatively, if we can not reach an agreement… We
could ‘stay the BLA course’ initiated by FRLP pursuant to
Va. Code 15.2-3103. This would be the most contentious
and costliest route for all parties.

Community Design: Environmentally sensitive development
incorporates water quality and water quantity planning into
development plans… From day 1.
10
Community Design: Respect and Care for our Natural
Environment
4 Communities – situated around the sites natural features and drainage
systems to minimize future impacts on the watershed and to utilize these areas
as future recreation and11open space amenities.
Community Design:
Respect and Care for our
Natural environment
S Community’s 1, 2, and 3
will consist of a maximum
of 818 single family
detached homes on
approximately 231 acres.
Each residential
Community will consist of
several neighborhoods, with
each neighborhood
consisting of between 50-75
homes.
S Community 4 will be the
future mixed-use
component of the
Community –
neighborhood commercial,
office, and 55+ housing –
on approximately 115 acres.
S 15+ year build-out.
12
Community Design… Respect and Care
for our Natural Environment
S The Land Plan uses the terrain’s natural land forms to shape the
layout of the community. The site’s primary drainage areas will be
preserved and enhanced to provide necessary filtering of storm water
run-off. This system of greenways located within the site’s natural
drainage areas will also provide the benefit of aesthetically pleasing
open spaces in which to locate part of the trail system, combining
water quality and quantity BMP’s with open space areas that support
active uses.
S At least 30% of site preserved as open space and public facilities
(including future school and park sites). Additional neighborhood
parks and open space areas within each community will be added to
this 30% during the site design and planning processes.

Confluence Virginia - Community
Respecting our past, planning for the future, and preserving our quality of life
and natural resources for future generations.
S
The FRLP proposal would cause the construction of the entire E-W Connector Road in the first
phase of the project – at NO cost to existing taxpayers…and ensure the future construction of a full
4 lane facility crossing of the railroad tracks and connection to 8th street and Commerce Avenue
17
– at NO cost to existing taxpayers.
