Jones TAX MAP/PARCEL: 60A1/29 & 35 ZONING: R-15 (Residential) ACREAGE: .5358 acres LOCATION: 400 Georgetown Road The applicant seeks a variance from Section 4. 12 . 6. 6.2 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, which states: "4 . 12 Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements 4. 12 . 6. 6.2 . . . . Day Care Center, Nursery School: One space per ten (10) children enrolled in major class or shift plus one (1) space per employee . . . . " The applicant proposes to construct a day care center and seeks a reduction of the off-street parking spaces to be provided from the required forty-eight (48) spaces to forty-two (42) spaces. The applicant believes that the forty-two (42) off-street parking spaces will meet the needs of the day care center. The applicant's site development plan (dated March 7, 1988) indicates that forty-three (43) off-street parking spaces will be provided and that five (5) additional off-street parking spaces will be available on an adjacent property through a lease agreement. This arrangement does not comply with the provision for cooperative parking found in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance (Section 4. 12 .4) unless it is determined that the total parking requirements for the two (2) uses are provided for and further that such arrangement be approved by the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION The application should be denied for cause: 1. The applicant has not provided sufficient evidence to show that a strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would produce a demonstrable hardship approaching confiscation as distinguished from a special privilege or convenience. 2 . The applicant has not demonstrated that the perceived hardship is unique to his property in contradistinction to other properties in the same zoning district and general vicinity. 3 . The applicant has not provided evidence to demonstrate that the authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to the adjacent properties or that the character of the district will not be altered.
