MPC staff recommended the following conditions for these rezonings, which were not included in the Planning Commission recommendation:

The PC-1 is subject to: 1) a transitional office area a minimum of 100' wide, including 20' of undisturbed area, adjacent to the residentially zoned project boundary, as depicted on the attached Land Conservation and Development Diagram, 2) providing at least 2 points of access to Kingston Pike; 3) preserving the Sherrill House under an H-1 (Historic Overlay) District, and 4) providing a pedestrian and bicycle access to surrounding development, and vehicle access to the adjacent SC zone.

The O-1 zoning is subject to: 1) two-story height limitation within 100 feet of the adjacent residential property, 2) screening of any parking area within 100 feet of adjacent residential lots, and 3) leaving a 50 foot undisturbed tree and landscape buffer plus a 25 foot building setback from the undisturbed buffer along the edge of the property.

The RP-1 zoning at up to 8 du/ac. (The applicant requested up to 9 du/ac.) with a 75 foot undisturbed tree and landscape buffer around the east, west, and south boundary of the site, and three story height limitation.

Both the PC-1 and RP-1 zones require MPC approval of a development plan prior to construction, and the O-1 zone requires MPC site plan approval for multi-family and other more intensive uses such as hotels and motels, assisted living facilities, colleges and churches. Additionally, a condition of the sector plan approval was the requirement for a comprehensive development plan for the entire site which would be expected to show a master development plan for the overall development that integrates and encourages easy vehicular and pedestrian-oriented access between the major land use activities of the site, including:
a. A street profile and circulation plan (including sidewalks and greenways) with at least two connections to Kingston Pike;
b. lighting plan;
c. signage plan; and
d. landscape and tree conservation plan (including slopes and buffers that are to be protected.)

On August 16, 2007 the Historic Zoning Commission approved the H-1 Historic Overlay for the Sherrill House property as shown on the attached map.
