The parking schedule of the approved site plan for Rivanna Plaza (SDP-2008-90 "Rivanna Plaza Final") shows 153 existing parking spaces on site. The proposed commercial kennel use would occupy an estimated 6,800 GSF of planned retail space within "Building A", as shown on the site plan. The parking calculation based on the approved site plan is provided below. Parking Schedule Retail: 5.5 parking spaces/1000 GSF Total GSF of Retail on site: 19,029 Required Parking: 105 spaces Daycare: 1 space/10 children + 1 space per employee Required Daycare Parking: 47 Total Parking Provided: 153 spaces Based on the approved site plan, there are 37 spaces allocated for the 6,800 GSF of retail space (5.5 spaces/1000GSF) in Building A. In accordance with Zoning Code Section 4.12.6, the proposed commercial kennel use, based on the data provided in the parking study, in this same space would require 22 parking spaces. Commercial Kennel: 1 parking space/400 GSF including runs, plus one space/employee Required Spaces for 6,800 GSF of commercial kennel space: 22 parking spaces Because the proposed "commercial kennel" use and "retail" have different parking calculations, the request being made is to confirm that the site, as built according to the approved site plan, will have sufficient parking given the change of use. Based on the relevant information March 28, 2019 Stonefield Block D2 Phase Two Parking Determination Page 2 presented above and in accordance with Section 4.12.6 of the Zoning Ordinance, it is my official determination that the Rivanna Plaza shopping center, as shown on the approved site plan, will have adequate parking for the proposed commercial kennel use. If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty (30) days of this notice, in accordance with Virginia Code § 15.2-2311. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final and unappealable. An appeal may be taken only by filing an appeal application with the Zoning Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals, in accordance with § 34.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, along with a fee of $258 plus the actual cost of advertising the appeal for public hearing.
