To: Ryan Yauger
From: Megan Nedostup- Principal Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: March 18, 2019
Subject: SDP-2019-005 Brookhill Senior Living- Block 8A- Initial Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items
have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based
on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle
County Code.]
Requirements:
1. [32.5.2b] Please address the following comments regarding the proposed use:
a. Per Ryan Yauger's email following the submission of this initial site plan, the site
plan proposes 87 independent living units, 60 assisted living units, and 32
memory care units. The 87 independent living units will count towards the
number of dwelling units in this block. This exceeds the maximum density
permitted for Block 8. In addition, this may trigger Proffer #1 and the timing of
the completion of the improvements for Polo Grounds Road.
b. Please specify the number of assisted living, memory care and independent
living units that are proposed for this senior living facility.
c. Please provide definitions from CA Ventures for each type of unit specified (see
comment 1b). This information will be used to calculate the gross residential
density and parking requirements for the site (see comment 1d below).
d. [18.4.12.4] Based upon proposed 185-bed assisted living facility, 62 parking
spaces are required. The number of parking spaces in a parking area may not
exceed the number of spaces required by the Albemarle County Code by more
than twenty (20) percent. Subsequent review and approval of the proposed
parking plan is contingent upon specific and complete information on the
number and type of residential units proposed (see comment 3a). A written
justification to exceed the number of permitted parking spaces by more than
twenty (20) percent must be provided to the Zoning Administrator for review.
2. [32.5.2a] Please address the following comments regarding general information.
a. [COD 2.3.2.3] The proposed front setback of 64.6' exceeds the 25' front setback
maximum as indicated in the Code of Development and is not permitted. The
note "Due to the flat building pad elevation needed for construction and the
decreasing road grades along Stella Lane, the building needs to be pushed back
farther from the road and thus increase the building setback," is not sufficient to
modify the 25' maximum front setback. A special exception is needed for this
setback, however at this time, the justification given cannot be supported since
this is a greenfield site and has been designed not to meet the setback
requirement.
b. The incorrect Tax Map and Parcel ID Number are listed on the Cover Sheet (C-
100) and General Notes (C-102). Please correct using the following number:
04600-00-00-019A0.
3. [32.5.2f] The statement "This site does not lie in a water supply watershed" on General
Notes Sheet C-102 is incorrect. Please indicate that this property is located within the
watershed of the South Fork Rivanna River reservoir.
4. [32.5.2k] Prior to final site plan approval, a VSMP WPO needs to be approved.
5. [32.5.2n] Please address the following comments regarding proposed improvements:
a. Please replace the incorrect luminaire schedule and manufacturer specifications
currently shown on the Lighting Plan (C-801) from Brookhill Blocks 4A and B.
b. [18.4.17] There is lighting spillover in excess of 0.5 footcandles at the property
line. Please modify the lighting plan to ensure that there is not spillover in
excess of 0.5 footcandles along the property line.
6. [32.5.2p] [32.7.9] Please address the following comments regarding the landscape plan:
a. [COD 2.4.2] The Brookhill Code of Development calls for a 100' buffer (70'
natural undisturbed buffer and 30' planted/reforested buffer) along Route 29.
Given that Block 8B will remain undeveloped according to the phasing plan,
please submit supplemental landscape plans that show a 100' landscaped buffer
along Blocks 8 to be approved by the Director of Planning.
b. Please remove or relocate the tree located in conflict with the pole light in the
semi -circular drive on Sheet C-701.
c. Please show all of the large shade trees on the landscape plan (Sheet C-701) at
30' full canopy.
7. [32.5.2i] All easements need to be platted and approved, including a grading easement
on the adjacent property (Block 4A).
Please contact Megan Nedostup at the Department of Community Development 296-
5832 ext. 3004 for further information.
