Statement of Justification

I.

Request for a Special Use Permit for the use of the American Legion Residual Site as a
Continuing Care Facility as allowed under the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance
Article 11-3.9.17 Conditional Zoning Text Amendment (Adopted by Town Council
February 12, 2013) and as interpreted by the Town of Warrenton Director of Planning and
Community Development/Zoning Administrator.
Request for Waiver of Public Street Standards per the Subdivision Ordinance to extend the
street to the Subdivided American Legion Residual Continuing Care Facility Site.
Introduction
Currently, John D. Sudduth American Legion Post 72 (hereinafter, Applicant) is the
Owner of the 6.74 acre property in the Town of Warrenton, Ward Three (3) and is identified
as GPIN #6984-30-1806 (hereinafter, Property).
The Propertys Ingress/Egress is listed as a continuation of Green Street with records
referencing the road as Legion Drive and listed under the Virginia Department of
Transportation Urban Maintenance Inventory (ref. UMIS Detail Report, dated May 15,
2014).
The Property is located on the South Side of Shirley Avenue and shares access to the
Warrenton Pony Grounds. Other surrounding properties located to the south and the east
of the Property, and outside the existing wood line buffer, consist of residential lots with
single family detached dwellings.
Warrenton VA
The site is in Warrenton, the seat of Fauquier County in the exurban fringe of the
Washington MSA. Fauquier is one of the lesser populated Virginia counties in the MSA
(2013 population: 67,200 vs. 349,679 in Loudoun and 438,580 in Prince William). US-29
and US-17 are the primary connecting roads.

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

The location is at the south edge of developed Warrenton between Fauquier Hospital and
the Walmart/Home Depot retail center.

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

The site includes the American Legion Hall and ball fields and is behind the Warrenton
Horse Arena. It is set back 500 feet from Shirley Ave. with limited visibility but has a
separate access drive.

The Applicant proposes to subdivide approximately 4.74 acres from the existing site in
order to develop and construct an Assisted Living Facility which is allowable with a
Special Use Permit (SUP) in the R-10 District. Such Assisted Living Facility per 63.2-100
of the Code of Virginia is defined as follows:
Assisted Living facility means any congregate residential setting that provides or coordinates
personal and health care services, 24-hour supervision and assistance (scheduled and unscheduled)
for the maintenance and care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled and who are
cared for in a primarily residential setting, except (i) a facility or portion of a facility licensed by
the State Board of Health or the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, but
including any portion of such facility not so licensed; (ii) the home or residence of an individual
who cares for or maintains only persons related to him by blood or marriage; (iii) a facility or
portion of a facility serving infirm or disabled persons between the age of 18 and 21, or 22 if enrolled
in an educational program for handicapped pursuant to 22.1-214 when such facility is licensed by
the Department as a childrens residential facility under Chapter 17 (63.2-1700) but including any
portion of the not so licensed; and (iv) any housing project for persons 62 years of age or older or
the disabled that provides no more than basic coordination of care and services and is funded by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
or by the Virginia Housing Development Authority. Included in this definition are any two or more
places, establishments or institutions owned or operated by a single entity and providing
maintenance or care to a combined total of four or more aged, infirmed or disabled adults.
Maintenance or care means the protection, general supervision and oversight of the physical and
mental well-being of an aged, infirm or disabled individual.

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

The Zoning Ordinance defines an Assisted Living Facility as follows:

Assisted Living Facility: A place, establishment or institution, operated for the maintenance of care
of four or more adults who are aged, infirm, or disabled and who are cared for in a primarily
residential setting, in accord with 63.2-100 Code of Virginia (ref. above). The level of service
provided for these adults shall include at least moderate assistance with the activities of daily living.

The Proposed American Legion Residual Site Continuing Care Facility (hereinafter, the
Project), will be age restricted and will include a 120 unit* assisted living facility
comprised of a combination of assisted living units and memory care units, an
Activities/Wellness Area and a Food Bistro/Commons Area ( * Note: Unit Count is based
upon approximately +/- 4.74 acres and the Residential Multi-Family (RMF) Zoning, which
allows dwellings for elderly and handicapped to be By-Right per Article 3-4.5.2 of the
Zoning Ordinance Maximum Density of 25 Dwellings per Gross Acre). The foregoing
density would require a 150 foot minimum frontage requirement, which would be located
at the extension of Legion Drive. The impervious coverage limitation is capped at 85%,
allowing the building and the parking lot to occupy most of the allowable area (ref. Exhibit
C Article 3-4.5.4).
The residual subdivision and facility shall be owned by a newly formed Development LLC
(hereinafter, Developer) and the facility will potentially be operated by Fauquier
Hospital/Lifepoint Acute Care Services (hereinafter, Operator) who similarly owns and
operates The Villas at Suffield Meadows. Denoting the waiting list at the aforementioned
project, The Proposed American Legion Residual Continuing Care Facility will add a
needed unit count to Fauquier County and The Town of Warrenton within a closer
proximity to the Fauquier Hospital, Outpatient Services and The Town of Warrenton
Amenities (such as WARF) and Main Street Retail/Restaurants.
II.

Need for the Community

According to the 2010 US Census, 13 percent of the population over 40 million people
are 65 and older. That represents an increase of more than 5 million since the 2000 Census
and makes this the fastest-growing age group: 15 percent per decade and representing
approximately 71 million people over 65 years of age by 2030 (Total Number of People
Age 65 or Older, by Age Group, 1900 to 2050, in millions).
Meeting the housing care needs of this rapidly growing segment of the population has been
a major challenge for those setting public policy, sponsors, and operators of facilities for
aging adults. This is especially noticeable in the microcosm known as Fauquier County
and the Town of Warrenton which provides a very limited residential housing market for
the over 62 age group. Individuals who are searching to simplify their lives are faced with
looking for options outside of Fauquier County.
Presently, Fauquier County is leading the Virginia statistic for persons Age 65 and older
(Age 65 and Older % Increase from 2000 Fauquier 14.4%; Virginia 13.4%) and slightly
above the national average at 14.1%. The increasing number of the baby boomer
generation are transforming our communities and the need for high-quality care and
housing facilities.

Community Summary
A. Appropriate Property
In 2014, The American Legion Board Members recognized a need to provide a location
for the aging population of their veteran membership and provide a continual revenue
stream for the future American Legion sustainability. Upon review of Active
55+/Independent Living/Assisted Living/Memory Care and in relation to the size of the
site, relationship adjacent land uses, vehicular traffic, and parking ratios, the following
reasons denote why the American Legion Residual Site is appropriate for this community:
1. The property is located less than mile from the center of the Town of Warrenton
and the Fauquier Hospital, including all shopping, educational and cultural
services for the community residents.
2. The size of the residual property allows for extensive open space with expansive
buffers between adjacent properties, thus minimizing any significant impact to the
existing surrounding community.
3. The size of the residual property allows for the such open space to integrate both
the required parking per Article 7-3 of the Zoning Ordinance requiring 1.5 parking
spaces/four dwellings with a central dining facilities and 1 space per employee
(Approx. 65 spaces) with facility gardens, garden walkways throughout the site,
access to the existing American Legion facility, and a proposed on-site water
containment for irrigation and water features throughout the property and possible
irrigation requirements for the adjacent Pony Grounds.
4. The Property is located within the incorporated Town of Warrenton limit and has
access to the Warrenton Service District Water and Sewer.
5. The Property is located less than mile to the Town of Warrenton Volunteer Fire
and Rescue. Based upon the current call rate in this specific box (noted as Box
0106) which presently is the second lowest call rate in the town of Warrenton (Ref.
July 1, 2103 July 30, 2014 FY2014 Stats and Additional Information for CY2014
per Fauquier County ECC/CAD). Denoting that the call rate is approximately 8
times higher in boxes which serve the existing Active + 55 and Nursing Care
Facilities (Ref. Box 0103 and 0104), there is room for expansion at the proposed
site location. Furthermore, the average resident at the Project will have
Medicaid/Medicare and supplemental insurance policies (such as AARP policies
and Long Term Care Supplements) the additional ambulance services will be
covered under the Ambulance Recovery protocol and will not provide added
expense to the existing ambulatory services.
For these reasons, the Property is an appropriate location for the community and
the Special Use Permit should be approved to allow this use at the American
Legion Residual Site Location.

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

B. Community Description
The Applicant has strived to develop a site plan and structure revolving around the size of
the residual parcel, its relationship to adjacent land uses; residents, future staff, vehicular
and service circulation; and appropriate parking ratios while being compatible with the
character of the area, but unique in its design and orientation to mature residents. The
Proposed 120 Unit Assisted Living Residence is designed to meet the mandated zoning
buffers and setbacks, structured parking with designated ambulatory lanes for larger
vehicle traffic such as fire trucks and back of house service, and parking to highlight the
unique architectural features of the structure and the desire to integrate the indoor and
outdoor spaces with porches and contemplative and active garden spaces. All such
maintained gardens have been placed to maximize the buffer to the existing rear residential
community and to provide interaction to the existing American Legion and the Warrenton
Pony Grounds.

1. Restricted to 55 years and Older Residents. The community will be age-restricted for
residents 55 years and above. The United States Congress in response to a growing trend
to restrict housing to those without children enacted the Fair Housing Amendments Act in
1988. Notwithstanding its desire to protect families with children in search for available

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

and affordable housing, Congress was nonetheless mindful of the need for senior housing.
One of the exemption types is housing intended and operated for occupancy by persons of
a minimum of 55 years of age.
2. Relationship to the Warrenton Community. Denoting that seniors want to age in place
within their communities surrounded by amenities, social/service clubs, and public
transportation, shopping, churches, healthcare providers and family, the community
provides an unparalled proximity to the Town of Warrentons provided amenities such
as WARF for aquatics and wellness; public walkways to the Warrenton Branch Greenline
and the Main Street Retail and Restaurant Area; Fauquier Hospital with numerous on
campus Outpatient Services; Town of Warrenton Police and Emergency Fire and Rescue;
and the possibility of a future dedicated Warrenton Circuit Rider stop at the proposed
location access to perimeter shopping and entertainment.
The impact of the proposed Project will demonstrate that this use and building type will
have minimal traffic impact, create no school demand, and are quiet neighbors while
generating positive tax revenues.
3. Relationship to Adjacent Land Uses. The applicant understands the proposed
location/structure works only within a symbiotic relationship to its neighbors. As a result,
the design of the structure itself considers key acoustical considerations to limit the
transmission of noise both allowed into the structure through the use of quality insulated
windows/doors and upgraded sound insulation values and outside of the structure through
the incorporation of expanded buffer areas which include extensive gardens/landscaping
areas, minimal low voltage walkway lighting, contemplative and active pathways for sideby-side walking, wildlife bird feeder areas, dog recreation areas for the residents small
breed animals, and connective walkways to the American Legion for residing Legion
members to utilize during Legion events. Additionally, the location of all facility service
areas will be away from the existing southern neighborhood (thus, utilizing the two acre,
wooded eastern buffer to minimize noise transmission toward existing eastern
neighborhood).

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

4. Vehicular Circulation. Denoting that the existing Legion Drive entrance services the
American Legion, the Warrenton Pony Grounds and the proposed Project, the Applicant
proposes to revise the existing entrance to meet commercial standards, including a service
circle to assist the ingress-egress of the larger equine trailer and ease with multi-purpose
usage. This usage is seasonal and infrequent in the case of the Warrenton Pony Grounds
and typically noon-time/weekend evenings in the case of the American Legion. With the
majority of the Assisted Living traffic occurring in shifts typically between 7am 3pm,
3pm 11pm and 11pm 7am, the facilitys traffic precedes the Shirley Avenue peak school
and traffic hours and does not overlap the adjacent facilities/neighbors. Service vehicles
will not be major issue as truck visits for food delivery, medical related delivery and
garbage will be fairly infrequent and can be scheduled to minimize adjacent noise
transmission in early morning hours minimizing overlap with staff/neighbors.
5. Parking. Off-Street parking requirements would be per Article 7-3 of the Zoning
Ordinance: One and one-half parking spaces for each four dwelling units (with central
dining facilities) and one space per employee. Based upon the foregoing requirement, the
proposed Assisted Living Facility would require approximately 65 spaces. In order to
minimize the impact of any shift overlap there will be staggering the of day shift departure
with the night shift while being cognizant of adjacent use events and holidays such as
Mothers Day, etc. which would require family parking.
6. Emergency Access. The facility and lighting design utilizes the parking area and
landscaping features to create a front entry landmark designated for both returning
residents and emergency responders. Upon entry to the site, the emergency responders will
have unfettered access with large rounded parking path corridors and the use of landscape
paver blocks in the rear garden areas will allow for large pump fire truck access and the
utilization of four hydrant locations.

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

7. The Facility and Amenities. The open space is designed as an amenity to the community.
The utilization of open space and garden/trials at the periphery of the community creates a
fuzzy boundary to the surrounding neighborhoods while creating an attractive environment
for the residents.

The proposed site offers several natural amenities such as woodlands, meadows, and flat
topography serves a backdrop to the gentrified architectural design of the structure and the
gardens. The Community Theme is Realizing Virginia through Architecture and Gardens:
Dining Area Incorporation to Al Fresco Gardens
Jeffersonian Cutting and Vegetable Gardens with Accessible
Raised Beds
Fragrance Gardens adjacent to public areas
Patchwork Gardens and Theme Gardens
Wetlands Gardens for birds, plants and wildlife at perennial
stream areas
Walking Trails with activity stations, dog stations, and children
play areas
Contained Memory Wander Gardens
Bridle Paths for Pony Cool Down

In summary, the proposed Assisted Living Facility represents a unique community that
complements the character of the surrounding area and will satisfy the rising continuing
care needs of Warrenton and the surrounding area. The Project represents the new model
respecting the independent nature of the new generation of assisted living residents who
desire an accessible living environment in a natural setting.
A.

Operations

The Community will offer secure living by utilizing a site camera system, 24 hour security
and fire alarm, individual fire, smoke and security alarm systems, and individual medical
monitoring systems. Regular site maintenance of the common, social and recreational
amenities. The activities and food common areas will be at the center of community life
a life focused around wellness, fitness, exercise, and social gathering.
Within the 24 hour facility, the Operator will assist residents with such activities as
grooming, personal hygiene, food choices/decisions, housekeeping, nutrition and
medications. In addition, there will be physical therapy programs including pilates, tai
chi, acupuncture cultural programs, technology programs and social activities designed
to include the residents in the surrounding Town of Warrenton and Fauquier County.
The Community will employ approximately twenty (20) full-time healthcare employees as
employed by the Operator with supplemental support subcontractors, such as landscapers,
independent caregivers and therapists. The Assisted Living Facility will be licensed with
the Virginia Department of Social Services, and designed and operated by the Operator in
accordance with their regulations. The Operator has a proven track record of delivering
quality healthcare and is certified and licensed within the State of Virginia.
B.

Communication Effort

The Applicant has initiated a communication plan to educate, inform and learn from the
surrounding community about Continuing Care Communities. The Applicant has sought
out advice from many sources in the Town of Warrenton, Suffield Meadows Operational
Staff Members, and noted Architectural and Site Design Professions in order to access their
comments related to the proposed Assisted Living Facility. Their comments are
cumulatively depicted on the current Site Concept Plan, but the Applicant is further striving
to address comments by planning focus groups with both American Legion Veterans,
Current Assisted Living Residents and the Town Of Warrenton resident and officials.
The goal is to provide the citizens of The Town of Warrenton with a homogenous Aging
Community that embraces the unique history and knowledge of each of its residents.
IV.

Utilities and Transportation

A.
Power and Telephone/Internet. The property is located in the Town of Warrenton,
Ward Three which is serviced by Dominion (Power) and Verizon (Phone) and Comcast
(Internet).
B.

Water and Sewer. Public Water and Sewer are available to this project (ref.

11

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

Existing Laterals East of proposed location). Utilizing existing usage rates at The Villas
at Suffield Meadows, it has been determined that the proposed Assisted Living Facility
will not utilize any more water usage than an average family located in a by-right eighteen
house townhome community (Average Family Usage 400 gallons/day 18 Townhomes =
7,200 gallons/day).
C.
Transportation. Since the Community is located on Shirley Avenue, which
currently has no future expansion plans, with an access turn lane leading into the existing
entrance from the east and no availability for a deceleration lane from the west, the
Applicant requests a waiver of a traffic study. The responsibility behind this request is
further depicted by the lack of traffic generation from the Community. The table in Exhibit
3 details the traffic generated by Assisted Living Facilities based on surveys conducted by
the American Association of Housing and Services for the Aging and the Institute of
Transportation Engineers. The Trip Generation Analysis denotes that there is little to no
traffic generation from the facility residents, but rather the traffic is associated with the
shift changes of staff members. This shall be staggered and prior to peak street hours to
allow for ease of ingress and egress. The existing entrance shall be revised to accommodate
commercial entry and provide multi-user entry function.
V.

Goals, General and Additional Standards for Special Use Permit

The proposed Assisted Living Facility meets the following objectives of the Town of
Warrenton Zoning Ordinance.
A.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the use or development of neighboring
properties. The Facility shall be in accordance with vehicular access, storm water
management, landscape and site planning considerations such as availability of water and
sewer, lighting with screening, compliance with height, setback, lot coverage, parking,
building use, screening, lifer safety issues, and other provisions of local zoning and
building.
B.
Property appraisers have indicated that high quality continuing care facilities have
a positive effect on neighboring properties. In fact, the Applicant is proposing the use of
natural screenings of the facility and coordination with the adjacent American Legion
Facility Beautification and the Warrenton Pony Grounds Entry Upgrade and Landscaping,
supplemented by the Development LLC.
C.
The Preserved Open Space and Proposed Buffer Space, far exceed the 25 foot front
setbacks and the 50 foot rear and side setbacks mandated by the Town of Warrenton Zoning
Ordinance. It should be noted that these prescribed setbacks are even greater than the byright townhouse zoning setbacks. The proposed buffer spaces are further enhanced with
landscaping that responds to the cultural and activity needs of the Continuing Care Facility
and the neighboring properties with indoor-outdoor blends, paved program areas,
meaningful walks, destination features, nature walks, childrens play areas and outdoor
exercise/therapy areas.
D.
Woodlands areas shall be cleaned and restored to work seamlessly with manicured
paths and landscaping features, including the restoration of any perennial stream areas to
encourage bird and wildlife. Natural species reforestation will be encouraged.

12

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

E.
Extensive North Garden Areas will be created to allow dual usage extensive
buffer to the North neighborhood and extension of the building to the outside allowing for
the character of the porches and the landscaping to provide shelter, shade, security and
garden vistas.
F.
Screening around any service fences as well as fenced memory garden areas will
allow Alzheimers patients to walk freely reinforcing the normal rhythm of life while
maintaining security.
G.
The proposed use will produce less frequent and repeated pedestrian and vehicular
traffic. The proposed use will not be hazardous or conflict with the existing and anticipated
traffic on Shirley Avenue or with the surrounding neighborhood. The Applicant proposes
to upgrade the existing entrance to a commercial standard in order to allow for safe ingressegress for the proposed facility and its neighbors.
H.
Adequate Utility, Drainage, Parking, and Loading Requirements shall be met and
exceeded in accordance with the Occoquan Watershed Standards. The Applicant proposes
to provide a net site with the utilization of impervious area retainage for re-purposing
utilization site irrigation and water features. To further mitigate rainwater run-off, rain
gardens with high moisture tolerant plantings will be installed in areas adjacent to parking,
swales and paved roadways to filter and catch rain water run-off. Trails shall be a pervious
blue chip over a per cable base surfaces to further reduce any rain water run-off. Any
remaining areas shall be sheet graded over grasslands and trees throughout the site.
I.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility has accessibility to all utilities and will
utilize less water than the proposed by-right townhome community.
J.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility has been reviewed and response time is
minimized by the close proximity to the Town of Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department,
the Town of Warrenton Police Department and to the Fauquier Hospital.
K.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility is located within walking distance to the
Town of Warrenton Main Street Retailers and Restaurants, and is located within a five mile
radius of Warrenton Box Store Shopping. This convenient location further establishes a
link between the proposed facility and easily accessed social, educational and cultural uses
all made more accessible with the utilization of the public and proposed, private shuttle
bus service.
L.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility will be licensed with the Virginia
Department of Social Services, and designed and operated in accordance with their
regulations. Any food service operations and recycling programs will be in accordance
with the standards and requirements of the local jurisdiction.
M.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility Structure will have multiple areas for
emergency access. From the new enlarged entry, to the curved parking corridors, to the
proposed vehicular paver blocks under landscaping, to the proposed multiple hydrants
locations the property and the structure shall be accessible for emergency vehicles.
N.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility site which is set back from Shirley Avenue
and enveloped on three sides with existing wood line areas minimizes the impact of the

13

American Legion Special Use Permit Application 2/20/2015

development on the neighborhood. Furthermore, the proposed utilization of entry porches

and outbuilding effects in a truly Virginia vernacular styling will harmonize the structure
to the surroundings. The Proposed Site Concept will minimize adverse effects on any
floodplains and forested areas.
O.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility will encourage economic development
through the addition of full time healthcare related jobs and outpatient job services; net
tax benefit by seniors who pay taxes but do not utilize the schools or roadways, coverage
of emergency response from insured seniors; and the support of other community and
Comprehensive Plan goals.
P.
The proposed Assisted Living Facility will encourage the means of opportunity for
development of a full range of dwelling types within the Town of Warrenton and Fauquier
County one that is evidenced by the growing senior population.
VI.

Economic Impact
The Town of Warrenton will generate significant tax revenues a net tax revenue based
upon the fact that the proposed Assisted Living Facilitys service costs are minimal:
A.

Property Taxes:

B.
County School Impact: Based upon the age restriction of the proposed Assisted
Living Facility, there will be no demand on the school system.
C.
Fire and Rescue: Emergency Services recognize a potential for increased
ambulance calls, but due to the close proximity to the fire station and the fact that the
proposed Assisted Living Facility is in the least generated box for calls there is capacity
for more calls. Furthermore, since the resident of the facility will typically have both
Medicare and supplemental insurance, each call will be paid from private as opposed to
public means.
D.
Infrastructure Costs: Adequate roads and other infrastructure presently serve the
Proposed Assisted Living Facility. However, to establish a safe entryway from Shirley
Avenue, the Applicant will insure the entryway meets a commercial standard with a waiver
of traffic study.
VII.

Conclusion
The economic realignment started by the baby boomers has forced communities to
reexamine what makes up a community. In the past decade, there has been a rise of
community based options with retirement living being facilitated by technology. As a
result, retirement living is searching for locations that provide close proximity to social,
cultural, healthcare and religious amenities.
For the foregoing reasons, the Applicant has selected the Property because of its proximity
to Warrenton, its hospital/healthcare, its shopping, its restaurants, its continuing education,
its religious, its cultural, and its wellness amenities. The facility will be an accessible and
quality option to age where one lives to experience life where one lived and grew.
Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully requests approval of the Special Use Permit for the
proposed Assisted Living Facility and as serviced by the Town of Warrenton Public Water
