RE: SP201600022 Boys and Girls Club—Southwood Expansion
Dear Mr. Kotarski:
County and State staff have reviewed your initial submittal for the request to expand the
existing community center in Southwood.
Comments from all reviewers are provided below. The major questions/issues that need to be
addressed before moving forward to the Planning Commission are:
• The expansion will trigger the need for a site plan. Does the applicant intend to follow
the initial and final site plan process or will they pursue a site plan exception?
• Additional information (visual and/or written)will be needed with regard to the distance
of the proposed decking from the edge of the existing asphalt basketball court.
Planning
Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan are
provided below. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
Comprehensive Plan
This parcel is designated Urban Density Residential in the Southern and Western
Neighborhoods Master Plan, which calls for residential uses at a density of 6-34 units
per acre as well as institutional uses such as places of worship, public and private
schools, and early childhood education centers.
The existing buildings serve as both a community center and Boys and Girls Club space
within the Southwood mobile home community. The proposed expansion will allow the
Club to expand their enrollment and add needed capacity, as the Club currently has a
1
its
11)
waiting list for membership. The expansion of the existing Boys and Girls Club facility
and community center use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommended
land use.
Neighborhood Model
Projects located within the Development Areas are typically reviewed for consistency
with each of the Neighborhood Model Principles found in the Comprehensive Plan (see
Objective 2 in the Development Areas chapter). Since the proposal expands an existing
use, a full Neighborhood Model analysis is not provided; however, preliminary analysis
is provided for the aspects of the Neighborhood Model that do apply to your request.
Principle 3—Neighborhood Center
Expanding the facilities at a thriving community center builds on this location as the
heart of the neighborhood.
Principle 7—Parks, Recreational Amenities and Open Space
This expansion would provide greater opportunity for residents to experience the
community center.
Principle 10— Redevelopment
Expanding the facilities at an existing location allows the site to take advantage of
existing infrastructure.
The Planning Division also comments on the conceptual plan and other requirements of County
Code. These comments are provided below.
Community Meeting
The meeting held on November 30th at the Boys and Girls Club satisfied the
requirements for a community meeting as described in Section 33.4 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Conceptual Plan
It is not clear on the current version of the conceptual plan that there is adequate
"buffer" between the proposed building and the existing asphalt basketball court. There
is a safety concern regarding the proximity of the structure and/or decking and the edge
of the playing surface. There was some discussion at the community meeting of
different ideas to ensure safety in this area such as providing netting. Is this still the
desired solution?
The concept plan needs to clearly show how the proposed building can safely coexist
next to the existing basketball court area. Ideally, an exhibit that shows how netting can
adequately address this concern needs to be provided. Other information about
acceptable standards within childrens' play areas will be helpful.

Memorandum
To: Johnathan Newberry, Senior Planner
From: Mandy Burbage, Senior Planner
Date: October 27, 2016
Subject: Zoning Comments for SP 2016-22 Boys & Girls Club — Southwood
Expansion
1. The applicant should provide a parking study that includes an analysis of parking demand
during a typical peak period of use in order to demonstrate that the proposed amount of on-
site parking is adequate to serve the expected increase in membership and staffing. At a
minimum, the analysis should include:
The current number of parking spaces serving the site
The number of new spaces to be added
A count of the number of parked cars serving the use every 30 minutes over a 2 hour
period of peak use, 2 days a week over a 3 week period
The anticipated increase in the number of members and staffing
An estimation of the number of children and employees walking to the site or taking
transit and the staggered nature of pick up and drop off for Boys and Girls Club
activities
2. Please be advised that any parking spaces that are added in the new parking area must
comply with the dimensions listed in Section 4.12.16 of the Zoning Ordinance. For a 20' drive
aisle, the minimum width of the parking space is 10' and for a 24' drive aisle, the minimum
width is 9'.
3. Please include and label managed slopes on the application plan. If managed slopes are to be
disturbed, the disturbance must conform to the design standards listed in Section 30.7.5 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. Please clarify whether or not the proposed modular building meets the County's definition of
an industrialized building (see below) or if it is a mobile unit whose use is temporary in nature
(i.e. not installed on a permanent foundation). If the unit is temporary, it is subject to the
conditions outlined in Section 5.8 below.
Industrialized building: A combination of one or more sections or modules, subject to state
regulation, and including the necessary electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and other
service systems, manufactured off-site and transported to the point of use for installation or
erection, with or without other specified components, to comprise a finished building. For
purposes of this definition, a manufactured home is not an industrialized building. The
structure and use identified in this chapter as "temporary nonresidential mobile home" is an
industrialized building.
5.8 TEMPORARY NONRESIDENTIAL MOBILE HOMES
A temporary nonresidential mobile home may be authorized by the zoning
administrator provided the mobile home is necessitated to provide additional space for
employees, students or other people and is to be an activity area as opposed to being
employed for storage purposes or equipment which could be accommodate in an
accessory structure. Such mobile home shall be located on the same site as the main
established use for which additional space is needed. In the event of the expansion of
the main permanent structure, the mobile home shall be removed within thirty (30)
days of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the permanent structure. Temporary
nonresidential mobile home permits shall be subject to the following conditions:
a. Administrative approval of site development plan after submittal to site review
committee;
b. Albemarle County building official approval;
c. The applicant and/or owner of the property shall certify as to the intent for locating
the mobile home at the time of application;
d. Skirting to be provided from ground level to base of mobile home within thirty (30)
days of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
