10. Create and codify measurable goals or metrics for items such as water usage, energy usage, storm
water management, jobs/housing balance, provision for parks, etc. to support the execution of the
“Aspirational Zoning” principles and development standards of the Master Plan. The City’s fiscal
impact analysis model should be used as appropriate on a periodic basis to help determine if the
aspirational development standards of the Master Plan are being achieved through actual ongoing
development. Additionally, a checklist should be developed as a tool for review of applicants’
implementation of the Plan.
11. Enact TDR and PDR policies so that execution of the Master Plan is potentially more equitable to
land owners affected by the master plan and so that agricultural preservation is ensured.
12. Update the City’s HRSD Sewer Service Expansion Policy to replace the one-mile service area
provisions with provisions that sewer service be provided only to those areas so identified for
service by City Council.
13. Extend or have plans to extend adequate utility infrastructure to Areas 3,4,5 and 6 and other areas
that are to be developed using municipal infrastructure.
14. Redesign all street cross sections and transportation standards and requirements (speeds,
intersections, intersection spacing, access management, allowance for street trees, sidewalks, bike
lanes, etc.) to enable “Complete Streets” as described in the Master Plan. Revise the 2050 Master
Transportation Plan to conform to the location of the major streets described in the Master Plan.
15. Expand upon the City’s existing storm water management plan to include the naturalized capture
and transmission sites shown on the Master Plan as well as to include provisions for onsite
naturalized storm water management that may be required above and beyond the community
facilities shown on the Master Plan.
16. Update current parks, open space and public services requirements to align with the vision and
requirements of the Master Plan.
17. Obtain land for parks and open spaces and/or adjust parks and open space requirements of new
development to conform to the requirements of the Master Plan.
18. Obtain land for the right of way for new roadways, greenways, storm water management facilities
and utility infrastructure.
19. Create the organization and funding needed to support the maintenance and management of parks,
open spaces, storm water management facilities, streetscapes, and greenways.
20. Create new or supporting branding for the Study Area that promotes its vision.
21. Create designs and a master plan for signage and wayfinding for the Study Area (which is part of
branding).
22. The City’s Planning and Land Use (Level of Service) Policy will be used to evaluate the adequacy
of public schools, roads, and public utilities to serve proposed development within the Corridor.
The City Manager will conduct an annual review of Chesapeake Public Schools capacity levels in
conjunction with the Capital Improvement Plan to determine if there is an efficient distribution of
students throughout the City.
In addition to the general implementation strategies outlined above, a more complete discussion of land
use and zoning implementation strategies specific to the development of the Study Area is contained
in the Aspirational Development Section of this chapter and the Planning Frameworks and Area Plans
chapters.
