STAFF REPORT - VA-89-46
OWNER/APPLICANT: Albemarle County School Board
(Hollymead Elementary School)
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 46B1-01-1
ZONING: PUD, Planned Unit Development
ACREAGE: 41. 07 Acres
LOCATION: On the south side of Powell Creek at the
intersection with Hollymead Road
REQUEST: The applicant seeks a variance from Section 5.8 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. This section
states:
"5.8 Temporary Nonresidential Mobile Homes
A temporary nonresidential mobile home may be
authorized by the zoning administrator provided the
mobile home is used to house a planned permanent use
and the applicant has received site plan approval
for such permanent use on the same site . . . "
The applicant proposes to use one ( 1) office trailer for a
period not to exceed five ( 5 ) years. Due to the length of this
period of time, it is listed as permanent and not temporary use.
An existing storage shed will be relocated for the office
trailer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Variances for this purpose (public or private) are commonly
recurring to the extent that additional ordinance provisions may
be warranted. Public uses such as schools, are considered
essential to the welfare of the community, and as such are given
special consideration. For example, public uses and buildings
such as schools are permitted by right in all zoning district.
With fluctuating enrollment from one school year to another, the
use of the temporary classroom space becomes necessary to the
school operation.
Because it serves a public purpose and as such is essential
to the welfare of the community, this application should be
approved. The following conditions are recommended for approval:
1 ) That the variance be granted for a period not to exceed
five ( 5 ) years.
2 ) That the location of the office trailer shall be
approved by the Zoning Administrator.
