VII. Public Hearings
A. PC RESOLUTION NO. 21-9 AND AN ORDINANCE NO. 21-17
To grant a special exception permit to Roslyn Farm Corporation to permit a substance abuse
clinic at 300A Temple Lake Drive, also known as parcel identification number
68215800008, which is zoned GB – General Business District.
Mrs. Brown presented to Planning Commission the proposed conditions for the special
exception permit. She explained the definition of a substance abuse clinic and the reason a
special exception permit was necessary. She also included visuals which showed the location
for the proposed substance abuse clinic. Mrs. Brown listed the following conditions of the
permit, if Planning Commission were to approve it: 1. Hours of operation will be Mon-Fri
6AM-4PM; 2. Hours of operation Sat-Sun 6AM-10AM.; 3. All office visits will be by
appointment, except for emergencies; and 4. The clinic will comply with all federal, state,
and local requirements.
Mrs. Brown read an email from Mr. Jason Kelly of Pivot Physical Therapy, who expressed
his opposition to a substance abuse clinic leasing the space next door to him. Mr. Kelly was
concerned that there would be drug addicts loitering around the facility who would put his
patients at risk.
The property owner, Nick Walker of Roslyn Farm Corporation, was present to answer
questions in regards to the building and parking lot.
Applicants, Mr. Jonathan Coleman and Mr. David Banks of Foundation Medical Group,
came to the podium and presented information about their organization and what the
business would entail. They provided commissioners with a packet of information about the
business.
In response to the email, Mr. Coleman and Mr. Banks emphasized that addiction can happen
to anyone, such as kids in school having “pill parties”, or parents on pain medications that
are opioids. They stated that they only disperse medication from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. by
appointment and there is no concern of loitering as most patients are working individuals.
They also stated that the rate of substance abuse has increased 139% as a result of the
pandemic, and there have been 93,000 deaths as a result of overdoses. Mr. Coleman
remarked that they wanted to build a nice clinic in a nice area that people wouldn’t be afraid
to seek treatment from. They emphasized that patients must be in an active treatment
involving therapy to be receiving medication.
Mr. Hartson asked where the nearest comparable facility was located. Mr. Coleman stated
there was one in Richmond, and that there may be one trying to open in Petersburg. Mr.
Hartson then asked about onsite security in order to address concerns from Mr. Kelly’s
email. Mr. Banks stated they have their own security as well as their own security camera
system. Mr. Hartson asked if they have armed guards during operation. Mr. Banks replied
that they would have armed guards. Mr. Coleman additionally stated that medications are
locked in a safe behind an additional locked door behind a cage.
Mr. Wade asked what other businesses they run. Mr. Coleman stated that he has two
businesses on Turner Rd in Chesterfield County which utilize a 2.1 and 2.5 substance use
program. 2.1 is when patients come in for 4 hours a day, 3 days a week to receive treatment.
2.5 is 5 hours a day, 4 days a week. This is a different level than the proposed facility with a
pharmacy attached. Mr. Wade asked how long he had been operating those businesses and
Mr. Coleman stated it had been three and a half years. Mr. Wade then asked if they had ever
had problems where the police needed to be called. Mr. Coleman stated that he had called
the police in three instances that were easily handled.
Mr. Wade asked Mrs. Brown and Mr. Walker how long Mr. Kelly has been in business at
the property adjacent to the proposed clinic. Mrs. Brown replied that the email states he has
been doing business in Colonial Heights for 15 years, but wasn’t sure about that specific
location. Mr. Walker stated that Mr. Kelly had been a tenant since 2009. He also stated that
Mr. Kelly had called him with concerns about the proposed clinic. Mr. Wade asked the term
of the lease and Mr. Walker stated that it would be a long-term lease which are usually 7-10
years, but that the details had yet to be determined pending the approval of the special
exception permit. Mr. Wade asked Mr. Coleman and Mr. Banks if they had spoken to Mr.
Kelly, and they stated that they had not had any contact with him. The gentlemen
additionally asked Mr. Walker to clarify that his properties do not allow loitering. Mr.
Walker verified that and stated that he has only ever had to call the cops once.
Mr. Kohan asked Mr. Walker if there would be parking issues. Mr. Walker stated that they
meet beyond the minimum zoning standards so he did not believe it would be an issue. Mr.
Kohan then asked for the average stay period of patients. Mr. Coleman stated that it was a
15-minute turnaround.
Mr. Hartson asked why the special exception permit was required. Mrs. Brown stated that it
is specifically stated in the zoning ordinance.
Mrs. Hamilton was concerned about the prenatal facility that is adjacent to the property. Mr.
Walker stated that they were notified but he did not receive a response.
Mr. Fisher emphasized that the business must meet federal and state requirements, in
addition to City requirements. They are heavily regulated by the state, the DEA, and they
have many standards they must comply with in addition to the special exception permit.
Mrs. Schiff asked Mr. Coleman why Colonial Heights was chosen as a location. Mr.
Coleman stated that they wanted to be a resource for Colonial Heights where there is a need
as well as the adjacent Fort Lee soldiers in need.
Mrs. Levinson-Melvin stated that she had attended a summit on substance abuse at Colonial
Heights High School and recognized the need in the community. She also stated she had first
hand experience as one of her family members had struggled with opioid addiction.
Mrs. Levinson-Melvin made a motion to approve PC Resolution 21-9 and Mr. Wade
seconded the motion.

A. SUB 21-1 Riverside Park, Lots 19-22 Block 16 Subdivision
Property owner “Lundie Properties LLC”, proposes a re-subdivision of parcel identification
number 38000116022, property address 415 Cameron Ave, with a legal description of
Riverside Park, Lots 19-22, Block 16. The subject parcel is 0.345 acres and zoned RL-
Residential Low Density. The proposed subdivision will create two new parcels.
Mrs. Brown presented about the current conditions of the lots and the proposed subdivision.
Lot frontage would be 60 to 65 feet instead of the minimum 75 feet in the zoning code.
Mr. Lundie of Lundie Properties came to the podium to speak about the property. He stated
that in 2012 the zoning code changed the frontage from 50 to 75 feet, and that the two new
houses would fit with the rest of the neighboring houses which have 50 feet of frontage.
There was previously one house on the property.
Mrs. Hamilton expressed concerns about the historic significance of the neighborhood and
the addition of new properties. Her opinion was that it would maintain the street scape
better to have one house facing Cameron Avenue rather than two properties facing
Washington Avenue. She stated that she could not support this development.
Mrs. Levinson Melvin made a motion to approve Subdivision 21-1 and Mr. Wade seconded
the motion.

due to open August 13th and Dunkin Donuts had submitted plans for a late 2021-22
opening. He announced that there would be an event at the Keystone Tractor Museum
called Colonial Heights Day on October 2nd. The Chili Peppers finished their home
games, and had sold over 18,000 tickets for the season. He also mentioned the success of
City employee night.
b. City Attorney – Mr. Fisher
Mr. Fisher made commissioners aware of two modernization projects: sidewalk
installation around North Elementary across 21 parcels, and improvements along the
Boulevard and Westover Avenue by McDonalds to widen the road.
Mrs. Hamilton asked about rehabilitation of 608 Hamilton Avenue. Mr. Fisher stated that
City Council did not approve the necessary funding of $55,000 - $60,000 to bring it up to
building code standards.

Special Use Permit
505 Lakeview Avenue, Christian Life Center, Inc., Parcel ID 1900010Y001 &
Swearingen Realty Company, Parcel ID 1900010Y002
Christian Life Center, Inc., and Swearingen Realty Company have filed a special
use permit application to allow for an 8,000 sq. ft. addition onto an existing
religious assembly, located at 505 Lakeview Avenue. Christian Life Center, also
known as parcel identification number 1900010Y001 is zoned RL, residential low
density which requires a minimum of two acres for the development of a religious
assembly. The proposed expansion would also be located on an adjoining property,
owned by Swearingen Realty Company, also known as parcel identification
1900010Y002, which is currently zoned residential high district. The residential
high-density zoning district does not require a minimum acreage requirement for a
religious assembly; however, the applicant wishes to purchase the adjoining tract
and vacate the property line. Both properties contain a total of 1.4 acres where 2.0 acres
is required for a religious assembly use in the residential low zoning district classification
Below, you will find more detailed information regarding the location, zoning, land use, and staff
analysis.
Location
Located at 505 Lakeview Avenue, the existing facility contains approximately 5,500 sq. ft. on an
existing 0.67 parcel, identified as parcel identification number 1900010Y001, currently zoned
low density residential. Section §286-406.32 (B) of the City’s use and design standards allows
religious assembly, subject to a minimum lot size of two (2) acres in the RL residential low
zoning district.

Analysis of Request
The applicant is requesting an 8,000 sq. ft. addition onto a religious assembly, with a lot area of
0.67 acres. The applicant’s lot, as well as the adjoining lot (owned by Swearingen Realty)
contain a combined total of 1.4 acres where two (2) acres is required under the City’s use and
design standards. This request necessitates a Special Use Permit, as the combined total square
footage of both lots is smaller than the ordinance allows in the RL – Low Density Residential
Zoning District Classification.
Relevant Ordinance Requirements:
1. City Charter §17.11-1 Uniformity of Regulations within a District—Special Use Permits,
the City Council has the authority to issue a special use permit by adopting an ordinance;
however, prior to such adoption, the planning commission must investigate the
circumstances and conditions and hold a public hearing. Once this occurs, “The city
planning commission may recommend and the council may impose such conditions upon
the use of the land, buildings and structures as will, in its opinion, protect the community
and area involved and the public from adverse effects and detriments that may result
therefrom”. As provided in this same section of the Charter, the Commission should
investigate the circumstances and conditions to determine whether the “special use will
not be detrimental to the safety, health, morals and general welfare of the community
involved, will not tend to create congestion in streets, roads, alleys and other public ways
and places in the area involved, will not create hazards from fire, panic or other dangers,
will not tend to overcrowding of land and cause an undue concentration of population,
will not adversely affect or interfere with public or private schools, parks, playgrounds,
water supplies, sewage disposal, transportation or other public requirements,
conveniences and improvements, and will not interfere with adequate light and air”.
2. Zoning of the City of Colonial Heights City Code, Use and Design Standards, Section
§286-406.32 Religious assembly.
A. General Standards:
1. Any outdoor activity area, swimming pool, ball field or court
which adjoins a residential use type shall be landscaped with a

§286-512 along the property line adjoining the residential use type.
Where nighttime lighting of such areas is proposed large evergreen
trees shall be required.
2. When a place of religious assembly adjoins a residential use type, a
Type C buffer yard in accordance with §286-512 shall be provided
between the parking area(s) and the residential use type.
B. In the RL and RM Districts, the following standards shall apply:
1. The minimum lot size shall be two acres.
2. The maximum building coverage shall be 20% and the maximum
lot coverage 50% of the total lot area.
3. Zoning of the City of Colonial Heights City Code, Development Standards, Section
§286-512.06 (a) (4) planting island required every 15 spaces.
• The plat needs to be revised to adhere to this requirement; all other
landscaping requirements will be addressed during site plan review.
4. Zoning of the City of Colonial Heights City Code, Section §286-518.18 406.32 Minimum
parking required - Religious assembly.

the following conditions:
(i) The development of both parcels shall be in substantial accord with the plat,
revised November 29, 2021, prepared by Charles C. Townes, II, Land Surveyor;
