Capital Facility Overview - Loudoun

FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment Leesburg -

Capital Facility Overview The Leesburg Planning Subarea continues to experience steady growth in both the residential and commercial sectors. The current estimated population in the Leesburg Planning Subarea is 51,023. The Subarea’s population is forecast to be 60,383 by 2026, a growth of over 18% by the end of the CNA Planning period. The population projections are based upon COG 8.0 estimates and were developed prior to the release of the 2010 Census data. The biggest capital facility developments within the Leesburg Planning Subarea are planned at the County’s Governmental Support Site along Sycolin Road near the Leesburg Executive Airport. The 672-acre Governmental Support site currently contains the Adult Detention Center, Juvenile Detention Center, the County’s Vehicle Maintenance and Storage Facility, the Leesburg Park-and-Ride Lot, and several human service agency facilities such as the Friendship House and the Leesburg Respite Center. The Support Site is currently supporting major capital facility projects such as the construction of Philip A. Bolen Memorial Park, the expansion of the Adult Detention Center, and the development of Crosstrail and Kincaid Boulevards. The County is undertaking a Master Plan of the 672-acre Support Site to develop future County facilities in a campus style setting to accommodate County public safety, human service, and general government operations. Projects anticipated at the Support Site include the new Juvenile Detention Center, the Transit Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility, an expansion of the Youth Shelter, the Juvenile Probation House, the County’s Shops and Warehouse facility, and County governmental office space. Capital facility development in the Leesburg area during the current FY 2011-2016 CIP timeframe will include the renovation of the North Street School Building to house the Leesburg Senior Center and the administrative offices for the County’s Department of Library Services, the construction of the Leesburg South Fire & Rescue Station #29, and the Leesburg North Park-and-Ride Lot. The tables on the following pages list all County owned and leased facilities already in operation in the Leesburg Planning Subarea, as well as projects under construction and those proposed to be funded in the Adopted FY 2011-2016 Capital Improvements Program budget.

Leesburg


Comprehensive Plan Overview The Town of Leesburg, the Leesburg Joint Land Management Area, and portions of the Transition and Rural Policy Areas fall within the Leesburg Planning Subarea (Revised General Plan, Chapter 7, Planned Land Use Map). The County will determine the need for new public facilities and will identify suitable sites based on the Revised General Plan, appropriate area plans, land use, and growth policies (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, General Public Facility Policy 2). The County will direct the majority of public investments into currently developed communities, towns, and areas of the County where development is planned according to the Comprehensive Plan and in observance of standards and levels as approved in the Board of Supervisors' Adopted Service Plans and Levels (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Fiscal Planning and Budgeting Policy 6) and will encourage the continued use and enhancement of existing public facilities located in the JLMAs (Revised General Plan, Chapter 9, Public Facilities Policy 2, p. 9-8). The County’s vision for the Transition Policy Area is a permanently defined policy area with land uses that provide a visual and spatial transition between the suburban development in the east and rural development in the west (Revised General Plan, Chapter 8, General Policy 2). The County will encourage the development of non-residential uses in the Transition Policy Area that provide a transition from suburban to rural, such as active recreation uses, public schools, and other compatible institutional uses. These uses will serve to promote a rural character while serving both rural and suburban populations (Revised General Plan, Chapter 8, Land Use Pattern text). Further, "[t]he County encourages the co-location of County facilities where they are feasible and can function effectively as multi-purpose community facilities" (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, General Public Facilities Policy 8).

This project would construct the Phase III expansion of the County’s Adult Detention Center at the Government Support Facility located off of Sycolin Road in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. Phase III includes a 160,000 square foot expansion of the existing 208,000 Adult Detention Center to house an additional 416 inmates. This project is a carry-over from the FY 2011-2016 Capital Improvements Program budget, which designated this project for construction after FY 2016.

Comprehensive Plan Conformance: The proposed general location for the Adult Detention Center – Phase III is consistent with the Revised General Plan. The County will encourage the continued use and enhancement of existing public facilities located in the JLMAs (Revised General Plan, Chapter 9, Public Facilities Policy 2, p. 9-8). The site is part of an area designated as a Public Facilities site (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Public Facilities Map).

FY 2017 160,000 square feet

Adult Detention Center – Phase III


This project would acquire 300 additional Park-and-Ride spaces in the Leesburg Planning Subarea during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment Planning period. The County currently operates 690 Park- and-Ride Lot spaces at the Leesburg Park –and-Ride Lot, and 50 spaces in Potomac Station. The Loudoun County Transit Plan calls for 300 additional Park-and-Ride spaces to be developed in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. Park-and-Ride Lots can accommodate 70 parking spaces per acre. This project would require sites totaling approximately nine acres. The Park-and-Ride Lot would be lighted and would include a raised, concrete waiting area, a bus shelter, bicycle lockers, telephone service, and other passenger amenities.

Comprehensive Plan Conformance:

The proposed general location for the Commuter Parking Spaces is consistent with the Revised General Plan. The 2010 Revised Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) policies state that park-and-ride facilities within the Suburban Policy Area will be located “along or at the intersection of arterial or major collector roads, near activity centers such as commercial or mixed-use centers, schools, or other destinations, at transit stops, or in other safe and secure locations that provide convenient access. They should be connected by sidewalks or shared pathways to enable carpoolers and pedestrians to walk to the lot. These park and ride lots should receive priority consideration for the installation of bicycle lockers and racks” (CTP, Chapter 3, Park and Ride Lot Policy 1). "Park and ride lots may be co-located with other complimentary uses, such as recycle centers, churches, parks, and retail development areas" (CTP, Chapter 3, Park and Ride Lot Policy 2) and "will be designated to provide convenient and safe bus access either within or adjoining the lot "(CTP, Chapter 3, Park and Ride Lot Policy 3). Park and ride lots should be developed on the basis of residential growth with one commuter park and ride space for every 30 new households approved for development. These spaces do not include parking for Metrorail stations and this guideline should not be applied to development immediately adjacent to Metrorail stations" (CTP, Chapter 3, Park and Ride Lot Policy 4).

This project would purchase a 3,400 square foot Developmental Services Group Residence during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment planning period. While this facility could be located anywhere in the County, due to population densities and close proximity to public transportation and employment opportunities, it is proposed in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. The facility would be handicapped accessible and would provide office space for staff. The facility would preferably be in close proximity to other County MHSADS Group Residences, allowing for more efficient use of staff, vehicles, and office resources. Developmental residential services are provided in group residences, supervised apartments and private residences. Services are provided to individuals who have developmental or intellectual disabilities. Services may include intensive residential habilitation support, psychological assessment and behavioral treatment, psychiatric and nursing care, medication management, case management, as well as rehabilitation support to develop life skills such as money management, community safety skills, personal hygiene, cooking, and housekeeping. Direct supervision of clients, transportation and crisis intervention are also provided. The program would be available 24 hours a day through on-site supervision and on-call staff.


The proposed general location for the Developmental Services Group Residence is consistent with the Revised General Plan. New human service facilities will be located in the Suburban and Transition Policy Areas, Towns, JLMAs, and the Existing Villages with good access to commercial services to achieve adequate accessibility and integration of all clients (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Human Services Policy 1). Additionally, human service agencies will coordinate facility needs and location criteria for group care facilities to ensure adequate dispersal throughout the County (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Human Services Policy 2).

Based on current capital facility standards, the County should provide two additional District Parks, 75 aces each, in the Leesburg Planning Subarea during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment planning period. The County does not currently have any District Parks in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. The FY 2011-2016 Adopted CIP does not contain any District Park projects in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. By 2026, two additional District Parks are needed in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. The District Park sites acquired may vary in size but should be approximately 75 acres each. The District Parks could include amenities such as five baseball or softball fields, four rectangle fields, forty-five acres of passive park space, athletic field lighting, fencing, site utilities, parking, a playground, site access from the public road, landscaping, public restrooms, groundwater wells, irrigation, staff offices, meeting rooms, storage, scorekeeper and umpire areas, maintenance facilities, picnic pavilions, bleachers, and signage.


The proposed general location for the District Parks is consistent with the Revised General Plan. Parks, Recreation, and Community Services are provided by geographic area to ensure that the maximum number of residents throughout the County are served (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Parks, Recreation, and Community Services text). Additionally, the County will locate new parks and athletic facilities to provide links between public facilities and communities, to protect environmental integrity, and to provide buffers between different land uses (Revised General Plan, Chapter 5, Parks and Recreation Policy 1).

Based on current capital facility standards, the County should provide six additional Community Parks in the Leesburg Planning Subarea during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment planning period. The County does not currently operate a Community Park in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. No Community Parks are planned in the FY 2011-2016 Adopted CIP in the Leesburg Planning Subarea. To meet the capital facility standards for Community Parks, the County needs to develop twelve baseball or softball fields, six rectangle fields, and 120 acres of passive park space during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment planning period. The Community Park sites acquired should each be approximately 30 acres in size. Each Community Park could include two baseball/softball fields, one rectangle field, twenty acres of passive park space, athletic field lighting, fencing, site utilities, parking, site access from the public road, landscaping, public restrooms, groundwater wells, irrigation, staff offices, a playground, storage, scorekeeper and umpire areas, maintenance facilities, picnic pavilions, bleachers, and signage.


The proposed general location for Community Park sites is consistent with the Revised General Plan. Parks, Recreation, and Community Services are provided by geographic area to ensure that the maximum number of residents throughout the County are served (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, Parks, Recreation, and Community Services text). Additionally, the County will locate new parks and athletic facilities to provide links between public facilities and communities, to protect environmental integrity, and to provide buffers between different land uses (Revised General Plan, Chapter 5, Parks and Recreation Policy 1).

This project would construct a new Recycling Drop-Off Center in the Leesburg Planning Subarea during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment Planning period in the event that one of the Town of Leesburg’s two Recycling Drop-Off Centers is discontinued. The Leesburg Planning Subarea does not currently have a County-operated Recycling Drop-Off Center. There are no Recycling Drop-Off Centers planned to be developed by the County in the Adopted FY 2011-2016 CIP. The Capital Facility Standard for Recycling Drop-Off Centers is one per 40,000 residents. The minimum area necessary for a Drop-Off Center is approximately 0.25 acre, due to site conditions and buffering, parking, and access requirements in the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance. This project would include excavation to place a gravel base, geotextile layer, and pavement for a 3,000 square foot pad to accommodate the recycling containers, and 6,550 square feet of parking for customers of the Drop-Off Center. This Recycling Drop-Off Center will be co-located at a current or planned County facility in the Leesburg Planning Subarea.


The proposed general location for a Recycling Drop-Off Center is consistent with the Revised General Plan. The County will continue to implement an integrated solid waste management strategy that places priority on reduction, reuse, and recycling of solid waste above resource recovery, incineration, and disposal into landfills (Revised General Plan, Chapter 2, Solid Waste Management Policy 2). The County encourages the co-location of government facilities, including recycling centers, where feasible and where they can function effectively (Revised General Plan, Chapter 2, Solid Waste Management Policy 5).

This project would construct 60 miles of natural recreational trails within the Leesburg Planning Subarea, including parks, during the FY 2017-2026 Capital Needs Assessment Planning period. Recreational or natural trails provide for walking, hiking, and equestrian opportunities. The surface of these trails are natural surface (natural earth, wood chips, etc.) with a width of two to five feet. The Leesburg Planning Subarea does not currently have any County owned or maintained recreational trails. The County’s Capital Facility Standard for Recreational Trails is 1 mile per 1,000 residents. The County should provide 60 miles of recreational trails in the Leesburg Planning Subarea by 2026.


The proposed general location for the recreational trails is consistent with the Revised General Plan. The County's greenways and trails will serve as a linking element in all policy areas to other components of the Green Infrastructure and may be used for refuge, recreation, and education. The system should connect to trails within towns and villages, and link people to the area's natural, recreational, cultural, and commercial resources (Revised General Plan, Chapter 5, Greenways and Trail Policy 2). Priority trails include a connector between the W&OD Trail in Leesburg and Whites Ferry on the Potomac River; pedestrian and shared-use paths along creeks; and networks of sidewalks and multi-use trails in each of the Towns (Revised General Plan, Chapter 5, Greenways and Trail Policy 3).

This project would renovate Catoctin Elementary School, to include the construction of new art and music rooms, ancillary library space, and the addition of space for small group instruction. Upgrades and improvements will be made to various operating systems of the school facility including the mechanical (HVAC) and electrical systems. A new fire suppression and sprinkler system will be installed throughout the facility and related plumbing work will be refurbished. Additional improvements will be made with particular attention to American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.


The School Board will determine the need for new public school sites and facilities in Loudoun County. The County will coordinate with the School Board to identify suitable sites based on the Revised General Plan and its land use and growth policies in concert with the School Board’s standards and levels of service as adopted by the Board of Supervisors (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, School Policy 1). Public school sites should be located at the focus of the attendance area and will provide safe and convenient access for students (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, School Policy 4). Schools are encouraged in the Transition Policy Area that provide a transition from suburban to rural, provided they meet criteria that address the nature, scale, and intensity of the use, the area to be served, and design characteristics (Revised General Plan, Chapter 8, Community Design Policy 15). Whenever possible, new public schools in the Rural Policy Area will be located in or immediately adjacent to the Existing Villages, towns, and Joint Land Management Areas (Revised General Plan, Chapter 3, School Policy 8).
