Review Status: Requested Changes(10/21/19)—UPDATED 10/24/2019(see Planner comment#3)
1. [Z.O.32.5.2(a)]: Please add"Initial Site Plan"and"SDP201900055"to Sheet C.0(Cover Sheet).
2. [Z.O.32.5.2(a),32.5.2.(b)]: Please revise the"Site Data"information on Sheet C.0(Cover Sheet)as follows:
A. For"Zoning,"please add"Rural Areas"to"RA"and please include"Critical Slopes Overlay."
B. Please provide additional information to identify or clarify the proposed use(s),as follows:
i. the proposed maximum amount of impervious cover on the site; and
ii. the proposed parking schedule(see CDD-Planning comment#3,below).
3. [Z.O.32.5.2(a),32.7.3,4.12.6,4.12.14]:
Regarding the required number of parking spaces,Z.O.4.12.6 states the following:
"Schools: The number of proposed spaces shall be shown in a parking study submitted by the school
division(public schools)or the school(private schools). The number of required spaces shall be determined
by the zoning administrator. In making the determination,the zoning administrator shall consider the
recommendations in the parking study,traffic generation figures either known to the industry or estimated
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers,peak parking demands,and other relevant information."
UPDATE 10/24/2019: Staff acknowledges that the plans show the demolition of 15 existing parking spaces
(inclusive of one existing ADA space), and also show 15 proposed new parking spaces(inclusive of one new
ADA space),thereby creating no net loss or net gain in the number of parking spaces. Staff also acknowledges
the applicant's explanation during the 10/24 SRC meeting that this proposed school addition only serves to
provide increased facility accommodations, and the proposal does not include any corresponding additions to
staff or additional students.Therefore,considering that the overall number of parking spaces remains unchanged,
and considering the applicant's explanation that the addition will not generate additional parking needs,no
further information or revision related to Planner comment#3 is required. Planner comment#3 is withdrawn.
4. [Z.O.32.5.2(p),32.7.9.2.(b),32.7.9.4.(b)]: The following issues(below)were identified during the initial staff
review of the Landscape Plan, and must be addressed and resolved on the Final Site Plan.Any additional
detailed review comments pertaining to the Landscape Plan,if any are necessary,will be provided with the SRC
Action Letter,within 15 days or less of the SRC meeting.
A. A Conservation Checklist will need to be completed, signed, and added to the Landscape Plan to
ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction.
• Note: Staff acknowledges the Conservation Checklist on Sheet L2.0(Landscape Notes And
Details);however,this checklist needs to be completed and signed.
B. The corresponding tree protection(TP)equipment and practices shown on Sheet L1.0(Landscape
Plan)that are intended to protect existing trees (including but not limited to the trees to be preserved,
the limits of clearing,the location and type of protective fencing,grade changes requiring tree wells or
walls,and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing)must be shown on Sheets
C2.1 (Demolition Plan),C3.2 and C3.3 (E&S Control Plans),and C5.0(Grading&Drainage Plan).
• Note: Staff acknowledges that some tree protection measures are shown on the sheets listed
above;however,additional tree protection measures shown on Sheet L1.0(Landscape Plan)
appear to be missing on the sheets identified above. Specifically,three deciduous trees along
the internal travelway are identified for"TP"on Sheet L1.0,but these are not all shown with
"TP"on all sheets identified above.
C. Please add a note to Sheet L1.0 or Sheet L2.0 to verify that"The landscape plan satisfies the minimum
landscaping and screening requirements of Zoning Ordinance Section 32."
■ (Advisory/For Future Reference): Please note that the Final Site Plan cannot be approved unless and until all
the outdoor lighting information required by Z.O. 32.6.2(k)is provided to demonstrate compliance with all
applicable outdoor lighting requirements as specified in Z.O.4.17,per Z.O. 32.7.8.b. However,this information
