(Tl3urncttra.ik-inc coin);Rodney Glessner (Rodneyasrtissdevelgpizlc_nt,pet) From: Cameron Langille Date: August 16,2017 Subject: Mandatory Pre-Application Meeting for TMP 07700-00-00-011F0 on 8-7-2017 The following are County staff comments regarding the above noted pre-application meeting.This meeting satisfies the requirement for a pre-application meeting prior to submittal of a special use permit (SP)application.The purpose of for the meeting can be found in Section 33.4 of the Zoning Ordinance and are italicized below, followed by staff comments: (i)provide the applicant and the county a common understanding of the proposed project; The applicant is proposing a body shop on TMP 77-11F0 in keeping with the attached concept plan.Located along Avon Street Extended(State Route 742),the property is zoned Highway Commercial(HC)closest to Avon Street Extended and and Rural Areas(RA)zoning district closest to Moore's Creek.All portions of the parcel are within the Entrance Corridor (EC).The RA portion of the property is contains Flood Hazard(FH)and Steep Slopes—Managed Overlay District. In the HC zoning district,body shops require approval of a Special Use Permit. 1. Section 24.2.2(17)—By Special Use Permit(Body Shops). 2 Section 5 1.31 —Supplemental Regulations(Automobile or truck repair shops,body shops,motorcycle and off road vehicle sales and service shops,and public garages) (ii)Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan • The site is located in Neighborhood 4 of the Southern and Western Urban Area Master Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Industrial and Parks and Green Systems. The concept plan shows development in the area designated industrially and preservation of the area shown in Parks and Green Systems- Body shops are consistent with the Industrial land use designation called for by the Comprehensive Plan. • Proposals for development in the designated Development Areas are evaluated for conformity with the Neighborhood Model.Applicable principles arc redevelopment,relegated parking,a pedestrian orientation,and interconnectivity between parcels. The concept plan appropriately shows relegated parking.To achieve a pedestrian orientation,sidewalks and street trees should be planned and provided along Avon Street Extended. • The site is currently undeveloped and was previously used as a landfill Staff is unaware of the extent and volume of trash materials that may exist on site. The proposed use would trigger the need for approval of an initial and final site plan in accordance with Section 32 of the County Zoning Ordinance.There are no previous site plan,SP,or Zoning Map Amendments(ZMA)associated with the property. • Pedestrian Orientation: No sidewalks currently exist on the property frontage along Avon Street.Future construction will require installation of sidewalks and curb and gutter along the property frontage to tie into existing sidewalks on adjacent properties.If no sidewalks or curb and gutter currently exist on adjacent parcels,the applicant will be required to dedicate right-of-way along the frontage to allow future installation of curb and gutter and sidewalks along Avon Street. Nee Nme (iii)Broadly identify the planning,zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be addressed by the applicant • A major element of the review will be the ability to conform with the Entrance Corridor guidelines. The concept plan you provide with your special use permit application should respect those guidelines. Landscaping and lighting will be important features to bear in mind. Staff recommends that you make a separate ARB submittal concurrent with the special use permit review to ensure your ability to comply with the guidelines. • Shared access to TMP 77-11 is shown on the concept plan which will be beneficial to approval. Improvements will need to comply with VDOT access management requirements and standards. • From the County's maps, it appears that the property extends to the centerline of Avon Street Extended. Dedication of r.o.w.of 30 feet from the centerline is requested. • The property is within the public water supply and sewer system service area of the Albemarle County Service Authority(ACSA)connection to these utilities will be required,except as authorized in Section 4.1 of the County Zoning Ordinance. Public water lines are located nearby and have the capacity to serve the development. Staff recognizes that there may be difficulty with connecting to public sewer • The concept plan you provided for the mandatory preapplication meeting showed storm outfall pipes passing through the preserved slopes in the area zoned RA. Such a disturbance is allowed,but must be minimized.All disturbed slopes will need to be re-installed and stabilized to their existing condition prior to disturbance. Flows from the pipe must be as low as possible(such as from using the DEQ Energy Balance)to prevent erosion of the existing channel and slope. These items will handled during the site plan stage. • The concept plan also shows grading proposed in the 20 foot required undisturbed buffer between residential or rural areas zoning districts. A special exception may he requested to allow for disturbances. Staff recommends that you make this request in conjunction with a special use permit application.(See Section 21.7(c)of the Zoning Ordinance.) • Information important to an ARB submittal and future site plan is attached to this letter. (iv)Identify other applicable procedures • A Community Meeting is required as part of the review of the rezoning/SP request. it is preferred that the community meeting be held in conjunction with a 5`1'and Avon Community Advisory Committee meeting. This CAC generally meets on the third(3')Thursday of each month at 7 PM at the Monticello High School media center You are responsible for setting up that meeting with staff and the CAC chair, Rex Lin'.ille. This meeting should be held,if possible,within 30 days from the date the special use permit is submitted,and can be held prior to the submittal of the rezoning application.Adjacent property owners and neighborhoods(and the Coordinating Reviewer/planner)should receive advance notification of this meeting(date/time/location) • Staff will provide a template for the Community Meeting invitation letter during review of the SP application. (v)Identify the information the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental information • Sec attached checklist.

If eliminating the visibility of either is not possible,then vegetative screening will be required to mitigate visibility. 2. eliminate the visibility of rooftop and/or ground-mounted equipment from the EC.Again,vegetative screening may be required for ground-mounted equipment. 3, eliminate the visibility of storage vehicles(vehicles awaiting repair)from the public street and from residential properties.This can be achieved via privacy fencing and vegetative screening or a combination thereof. a.chain-link fencing is not an appropriate material on the EC 4 reduce the size of parking spaces in order to provide the required parking area perimeter trees as well as parking area interior trees. For the former,trees of 2.5-inch caliper must be planted 40 feet on center. For interior trees,one 2.5-inch caliper tree is required for every ten parking spaces. 5. if site or building lighting is proposed,the applicant should submit a lighting plan which provides photometric values in footcandles with a maintenance (LLF)factor of 1. a. as per ARB guidelines,site lighting should not exceed 20 footcandles b. if wall-mounted lights are proposed,they should be shown on the architectural elevations as well as the site plans c.the lighting plan should include a lighting schedule and key,the mounting height of any freestanding pole fixtures,the color of the fixtures,and cut sheets. 6.the east(side)elevation should be rendered as if it were the front,as it faces the EC.This means that blank walls are not appropriate and the elevation should exhibit architectural detail, whether that be in the form of fenestration or material change, etc. 7. label the parking spaces on the site plan according to their intended use(i.e., customer parking, employee parking,and storage). 8. continue to show the location of the freestanding monument sign on the site plan, but be aware that a separate ARB application for signage (as well as a sign permit)will be required at a future time. 9. show the overhead/underground utilities on the site plans(especially the landscape plan) so that potential conflicts with the proposed landscaping can be determined. 10. provide street trees and shrubs that meet or exceed the ARB criteria and standards on the street frontage.
