Sec. 98-873(m)

A noise analysis shall be prepared describing the projected sound transmission levels and frequencies, including those used in any radio broadcasting to on- or off-site receivers, or anticipated to be generated by the facilities or the events operated or conducted on the site. Such analysis shall include a discussion of both ambient and directional sound levels and frequency, and any proposed sound attenuation measures.

The facility shall be served by an appropriate communication system, including both signage and public address system, to ensure efficient operations, vehicular and pedestrian traffic circulation, crowd management and emergency notification capabilities.

A report shall be submitted describing the proposed methods of crowd control and management, including security, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, first aid, emergency access, emergency communications and staffing levels and training. Proposed hours of operation shall also be described in the report.

Theme parks, amphitheaters and stadiums shall be surrounded by a 100-foot perimeter yard within which shall be established a Type C transitional buffer. In consideration of the particular character of such a proposed facility and its surroundings, the board may require a perimeter buffer area of greater depth or more intense landscaping.

A traffic impact analysis, shall be prepared and submitted for review by the county and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The resulting access management plan and design shall ensure one clear lane for emergency access is maintained at all times for emergency personnel and equipment. Access roads and pedestrian walkways for the facility shall be designed for peak hour usage. Access drives to the facility shall be designed and sized, based on the traffic impact analysis, to accommodate the park volumes of vehicular traffic associated with arrivals and departures from the facility without unduly interrupting traffic flow on adjacent public rights-of-way.

A grassed area shall be reserved on the site to provide overflow parking capacity equal to but not less than ten percent of the total parking spaces required by the study.

A parking study shall be performed by a professional qualified to do such studies in order to determine the parking needs of the use. In addition, a grassed area shall be reserved on the site to provide overflow parking capacity equal to but not less than ten percent of the total parking spaces required by the study.
