COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Office/R&D/ Flex/ Light Industrial —professional 'office, commercial; research and development, design, development of prototypes, engineering; light manufacturing, fabrication, distribution if with a non-industrial use. CHARACTER'OF THE AREA: The subject property is a 1.5-acre parcel within a Light Industrial zoning district on Avon Street Extended. The parcel is located approximately one-half mile (0.5 miles) from the intersection of Avon Street Extended and Scottsville Road / Route 20. ' The Snow Point Lane industrial property and uses adjoin the subject property to the north and east. Spring Hill Village (an unbuilt Neighborhood Model:District community) adjoins to the south. A large residential area is located to the west, across Avon Street Extended; this includes a small R1.Residential zoning district (which includes Faith Temple Church), as well as Mill Creek South. (Attachment A) PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY: The site is currently subject to an approved Site Plan.(SDP199800162), inclusive of one Letter of Revision. If the requested Special,Use Permits are approved, a new Site Plan would need to be submitted and approved prior to implementing the proposed improvements. . SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018' Page 2 DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting two Special Use Permits to allow for two distinct but related uses: • Albemarle Limousine (AL):This "motor vehicle sales, service, and rental" use would include the storage (parking) and use of the AL fleet, which includes four oversized motor coaches and 8-12 additional SUV's sedans, and sprinter vans; as well as the consolidation of overall AL business operations to this site. • Virginia Auto Detailing (VAD):This "automobile, truck repair shops" use would include "high- quality, low-volume" automotive detailing services to private individual clients as well as to the AL fleet of vehicles. Proposed improvements include: modification to the existing commercial entrance; renovation and reuse of the existing one-story service repair garage; construction of a two-story addition for additional garage bays and office space; landscaping and a sliding gate to achieve a screening effect from the Avon Street Extended right of way; and a relatively minor expansion of the parking lot,into the 30' minimum side yard setback area (this requires a Special Exception; see page 11). For more detailed information about each element of the proposal, please see the "Project Narrative" (Attachment B), as well the "Conceptual Plan" (Attachment C). COMMUNITY MEETING The applicants conducted the required community meeting with the 5th &Avon Community Advisory Committee on Thursday, June 21. A summary of the CAC review and discussion, which was created with assistance from Mr. Andrew Knuppel, Neighborhood Planner, is provided in Attachment D. ANALYSIS OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST Section 33.39(B) states that the Commission, in making its recommendation, shall consider the same factors found in Section 33.40(B): 1. No substantial detriment. Whether the proposed special use will be a substantial detriment to adjacent parcels. No discernible detriment to adjacent parcels is expected from this proposal. The Light Industrial district, which includes similar uses, adjoins the subject property on two sides. The proposed development would be achieved through the renovation and reuse of a previously developed, vacant site, and would require virtually no tree removal and no significant grading. The proposal also includes a commitment to screening a large majority of the uses on the property (through the proposed installation of landscaping and a sliding gate),. 2. Character of the nearby area is unchanged. Whether the character of the adjacent parcels and the nearby area will be changed by the proposed special use. The character of the adjacent parcels and the nearby area would not be changed by the proposed special uses. The proposed development appears to be generally similar to and consistent with the existing character of the adjacent parcels in the LI district. 3. Harmony. Whether the proposed special use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter, SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 3 The intent of the LI Light Industrial.district is to permit industrial and supporting uses that are compatible:with, and do not detract from, surrounding districts. The requested uses are permissible by special use permit in the LI district, and are not incompatible.with surrounding properties or districts. The proposed development of the property as expressed in the application materials would not prevent the site from being used for other light industrial uses in the future. No conflict has been found between this request and the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. with the uses permitted by right in the district, As shown and articulated in the application materials, the proposed "motor vehicle sales, service, and rental" use and "automobile, truck repair" use do not appear to represent an inharmonious relationship with other permissible uses in the LI district. with the regulations provided in.Section 5 as applicable, There are no applicable "Supplementary Regulations" for either proposed use per Sections 26.2.a or 24.2.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. and with the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposal is not unharmonious with public health, safety, or general welfare:The provision of a sidewalk could contribute towards improved public health as well as the general welfare of residents and other pedestrians on the Avon Street Extended corridor. 4. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Whether the proposed special use will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. .. The Comp Plan designates the subject property for"Office'/ R&D[Flex/ Light Industrial" (ORDFLI) land use(s) in the Future Land Use Plan for the Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods Master Plan (Master Plan). As noted in the "Land Use Categories and Guidelines" in the Master Plan (S+W. 34), this ORDFLI designation represents "a category of employment- generating uses with the lightest impacts in the industrial use category, although uses in this designation may generate significant employee traffic, depending on the size and use of the facility." Primary uses in the ORDFLI designation include the following: ■ "Office: includes commercial office buildings that may house a variety of users and . professional offices, such as medical or real estate offices. • Research and Development (R&D): includes design, experimentation, development of prototypes, engineering, scientific applications, and administration, especially in the fields of medical technology; communications systems,transportation, multi-media, and the development of electronic technology, communication systems, or information systems. Development, construction, and testing of prototypes may be associated with this use. • Flex: businesses with several integrated uses, such as very light manufacturing, warehousing, or showrooms. • Light industrial: includes light manufacturing, fabrication, and distribution." Secondary uses in the ORDFLI designation include "retail and commercial uses, which are supportive of primary uses, residential, and institutional uses." The Master Plan also provides additional information and recommendations regarding this area of Avon'Street Extended, as follows: SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended • Planning Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 4 • The "Other Areas of Importance" section states that "The [ORDFLI] designated land is expected to be an area for further development, especially to provide for light industrial uses and employment." (S+W. 45) • The "Priority Areas" section identifies "Avon Street to Route 20 South" as a priority area, and states that "The area located south of Interstate 64, between Avon Street and Route 20 South has ... areas for [ORDFLI] use, and potential for redevelopment opportunities, especially in the industrial areas." The proposals to redevelop this property for use as the new headquarters and operations for Albemarle Limousine, and for use as the new headquarters and operations of Virginia Auto Detailing, are generally consistent with the Master Plan — including the ORDFLI designation in the Future Land Use Plan, and the information contained in the Other Areas of Importance and Priority Areas sections. , fillpoi f utra, t4., •. �auaoTrasvt �J s� _ 1i 1 __ I /11" /.I ,•- ,/, @ r r % • Ui - %% - , properly g h 1�.�1 Ng �." � i ?''�? _ \ _ Y Figure 8:Southern Urban Neighborhood Future Land Use Plan Ne:ghbaMod Demvy • Comnurtly Mixed Use • MdvYriol _ Prupaand Fvrun Roodwt Por cnl,I.o.o yaurl Revdenl.al Ne,rat• 'See T.n ration • Regional Waed U,e WO W1!Mronai - St eom, m�a S U.bon Denary R.,,drroal • ^�Primary Rond, R.nunntmdutwn, Offke:R Al D:Flaa;Ught ea Poet,and Green System, f^ Mo'iar water Rod,e1 Neiuhbah,,od Mlaed the trdrnirly �Sc a,dary Rood, iJ De.elopnrw,t Arent Carver, "...—.Ralroad, Albemarle Comprehensive Plan ADOPTED June 10,2015 Amrntled September 23 20;5 S+W.29 "Southern Urban Neighborhoods Future Land Use Plan"(S+W Master Plan p. 29) Neighborhood Model Development: Staff's analysis below addresses the applicable principles of the Neighborhood Model. SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 5 Pedestrian The Conceptual Plan shows a "Potential Sidewalk" across the front portion of the property Orientation along Avon.Street Extended. However, the application materials do not explicitly contain a formal commitment to providing this sidewalk, because the current language.("potential") does not constitute a requirement that can be enforced.. Providing.a sidewalk would be a valuable benefit for the numerous reasons, including: advance the Neighborhood.Model principles in the Comprehensive Plan; • help to address the Master Planvcomment that"there are no sidewalks along Avon Street Extended" (S+W. 27) - : • advance the specific Master Plan recommendations in the "Plan for Future Transportation Network"to "provide curb, gutter sidewalks, street trees, and bike, lanes along Avon.Street to the intersection with Route 20" (S+W. 61); • serve as a continuation of the sidewalk that was required as part of the County approval of.the Spring Hill Village development that adjoins the subject property to the south; • support the recent and ongoing public investments to provide expanded pedestrian infrastructure,increased pedestrian connectivity, and:safer pedestrian mobility along the Avon Street.Extended corridor;and ▪ support Safe Routes to School:efforts. Providing a sidewalk across the front of the property,along Avon Street Extended was also identified as an important element by the 5th &Avon Community Advisory Committee (CAC). Additionally, improving pedestrian connectivity and mobility is also one of the . priority issues to be addressed through the recently-initiated 5th &Avon Corridor Study. Principle is technically not met in a formal, binding way.: Mixture of Uses The proposal(s) comprise two separate uses which provide:distinct, yet complimentary, services;.and which provide multiple types of employment opportunities:. Principle is met. . Relegated The proposal would utilize an existing parking lot that is located in front of the building, Parking . . . between the existing structure and the Avon Street Extended right of way. The proposal : includes landscaping screening for this existing:parking lot. The proposed location for additional parkingto:accommodate the proposed motor vehicle rentals use is in the rear portion of the property, behind the proposed two-story addition; and the applicant further proposes to screen this rear parking with a gate,fencing, and landscaping. Principle is partially met, and is only partially applicable in this redevelopment scenario. Buildings and The proposal would utilize an existing one-story structure, and would include a two-story Spaces of addition in the rear. Due to the grade change (with the public street right of way being Human Scale above the property) and the low (one-story) height of the existing structure, it does not appear that the building will contribute any spatial definition or other humanistic • placemaking qualities to Avon Street Extended corridor. A two-story addition will generally increase the structure's massing and physical presence along Avon Street Extended, even though it would be added to the rear of the existing one-story structure. Principle is:not clearly met; however, in this redevelopment:scenario, the evaluation of this principle is largely determined by the proposal to reuse an existing one-story structure, and the construction of a two-story addition which would be located on the rear portion of the existing structure: SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018, Page 6 . Redevelopment The proposals would utilize an existing one-story structure on a previously-developed site within the Development Area, and add a:two-story addition, without increasing impervious surface areas. Principle is met. Respecting Based on the Conceptual Plan and project narrative, the proposal includes no significant Terrain and grading; impervious surfaces areas will not increase;and post-development drainage Careful patterns will be the same as pre-development drainage patterns. Grading and Principle is met. Re-grading of Terrain In addition to the evaluation criteria in Section 33.40(B) of the Zoning Ordinance, Section 26.3 of the Zoning Ordinance also specifies "additional factors when considering.special use permits for"general commercial uses" in,Industrial districts(including LI districts). In evaluating a request for a special use permit for an independent office or general commercial use as that use is described in.section 26.2, the board shall consider the following factors in addition to those,delineated in section 33.40(B): a. The purpose of the industrial district in which the use is proposed. No conflict has been found between these proposals and the purpose of the LI district on Avon Street Extended. . b. The proposed use and its proposed size should be consistent with the intent of the applicable industrial district. The intent of the LI district is to permit industrial and supporting uses that are compatible with, and do not detract from, surrounding.districts. The requested,uses are permissible by special use permit in the LI district, and are not incompatible with surrounding properties or districts. No conflict has been found between this request and the intent of the LI district per Section 27.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. c. The use proposed should not be located on the lowest floor of any building having direct exterior access to the ground surface in order to allow that floor to be used for industrial purposes. Both the existing structure and the proposed two-story addition would include garage bays on the first floor with direct exterior access. The Project Narrative states that "the proposed use will not preclude the property from being used for industrial purposes in the future.". d. The gross floor area of each establishment should not exceed three thousand(3,000) square feet. The gross floor area of VAD would be 1,664 square feet (existing structure), and the gross floor area of AL would be 3,712 square feet(two-story addition). The aggregate gross floor area of the "general commercial" uses would be 5,736 square feet. The aggregate total footprint would be 3,520 square feet. ' e. The aggregate gross floor area of the independent offices or general commercial uses, or both, should not exceed twenty-four thousand(24,000) square feet and should not exceed twenty- five (25) percent of the gross floor area of the building. ' The aggregate floor area of the "general commercial" uses would be:5,736 square feet. f. Whether the structure or structure expansion will be constructed to the standards required for industrial structures, regardless of its intended use. ' ' The Project Narrative states that "the applicant intends to construct the [two-story addition] to the standards required for industrial structures." ' SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 7, Please note the applicant has provided commentary on these additional factors on pages 11-12 of the Project Narrative (Attachment B). SUMMARY: After review of this request, staff have identified the following:factors of this proposal which are favorable and unfavorable: Factors favorable to this request include: 1. The proposed uses are consistent with the Master Plan future land use designation for ORDFLI uses. 2. The proposed uses represent a redevelopment project within the Development Areas. The proposal, would improve a previously-developed, currently vacant site; and does not require tree clearing, significant grading, or increased impervious surface area. . 3. The proposed uses would generate-economic activity and support job opportunities. 4. The proposed uses that would occur outdoors would be:substantially or fully screened from the Avon Street Extended public right of:way. Factors unfavorable to this request include: 1. Although the Concept Plan shows a;°`Potential Sidewalk" near the front of the property along Avon Street Extended, the application materials do not explicitly contain a formal commitment to providing this sidewalk: . RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Based on the findings described in this report and factors identified as favorable, staff recommends approval of special use permit:applications SP201800007.and SP201800008 with the following . . conditions (below).

SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST TO MODIFY MINIMUM YARD REQUIREMENTS("SIDE YARD SETBACK" AND "DISTURBANCE BUFFER ZONE"): The applicant has requested a Special Exception pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 33.49, to modify ' the "minimum yard requirements in the industrial districts" specified in Section 26.5. Summary of Request Specifically, the applicant has requested modification of the required minimum side yard setback specified in Section 26.5(b)and Section.4.20(b) and modification of the required disturbance buffer specified in Section 26.5(c), as shown in the Special Exception Request application materials. (Attachment E) More specifically, the applicant proposes to locate approximately seven (7) parking spaces the.required thirty (30)foot side yard setback area and disturbance buffer zone:Several of the spaces would be covered by a permanent parking canopy structure. The side yard setback and disturbance buffer zone has previously been encroached upon by the prior development and use of the property: The applicant proposes to mitigate the requested encroachment into the side yard setback and disturbance buffer zone by installing a double-row of evergreen shrubs and installing approximately 1,000 SF of additional landscaping. (Attachment F) Applicable Zoning Ordinance Sections Section 26.5(b) of the Zoning Ordinance states that"If the abutting lot is zoned residential, rural areas, or the Monticello Historic'district, the minimum and maximum side and rear yards shall be as provided in section 4.20."Section.4.20(b) of the'Zoning'Ordinance specifies the following minimum requirements for side and rear yard setbacks: "In the LI district, if the abutting lot is zoned residential, rural areas, or the Monticello Historic district: (i) no'portion of any structure, excluding signs,.shall be located closer than 50 feet from the district boundary; and(ii) no portion of any off-street parking space shall be located closer than 30 feet from the district boundary." (emphasis added) Because the.immediately adjoining portion of the neighboring Spring Hill Village Neighborhood Model District is designated for residential uses, the thirty'(30) foot minimum side yard setback requirements for off-street parking identified above apply to this proposal on this subject property in the LI district. Additionally, Section 26.5(c) states that "No construction activity, including grading or clearing vegetation (collectively, "disturbance'), shall occur within thirty(30) feet of any district other'than a commercial or SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 9 • • industrial district..."Even though this required "disturbance buffer zone" is the same dimension (thirtyfeet) as the required minimum "side yard setback"for off-street parking, it is a separate regulation with different evaluation criteria. The most relevant.applicable factor for the disturbance buffer zone is whether or not the proposed encroachment would result in an "improved site design." Staff analysis of this-factor(and others) is provided below. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the requested special exception (as proposed in the Special Exception Request application materials, Attachments E and F) has several favorable factors, including: . 1. The side yard setback area and disturbance buffer zone has previously been developed and used by one or more prior.owners, and therefore this special exception request does not require removal of any existing trees or any significant grading; . 2. The proposed mitigation for this request includes the installation of a double row of evergreen :'shrubs along a portion Of the side.yard setback area and disturbance buffer zone where the existing vegetation along the southern property boundary is less than twenty (20)feet wide, as well as approximately 1;000 Square feet of new landscaping visible from Avon Street Extended; 3. The proposed improvements.would 'result in an improved site design;.for:the following reasons: a. it reuses existing impervious surface area to support the redevelopment and efficient reuse • of the subject property; and . b. it includes mitigation practices (described above) which meet the minimum screening , requirements and which exceed:what would otherwise be the minimum required landscaping, to an:area that has previously.been developed but which is otherwise unimproved; and 4. This requested special exception (as proposed in the application materials).does not otherwise : constitute any harm to the public health, safety, or;general,welfare. RECOMMENDED ACTION —SPECIAL EXCEPTION: In consideration of the information provided by the applicant, as well as the staff analysis (including factors favorable) identified in this report, the special exception request seems acceptable. Therefore, staff recommend approval of the requested Special Exception to modify the side yard setback requirements specified in Section 4.20(b) of the Zoning Ordinance and to modify the disturbance buffer zone requirements specified in Section 26.5(c) of the Zoning Ordinance, with;the following conditions: 1. The development and use of the side yard setback area and disturbance'buffer zone shall be in general accord with the Special Exception Request application materials (including Letter of Justification and Conceptual Plan) prepared and submitted by Mr. Michael Myers; PE,.CFM, dated July 30,.2018: To be in general accord;the development and use of the property in the area of the side yard setback and disturbance buffer shall reflect the following major elements:in the Special Exception.Request application materials: a. The location and extent of the parking spaces and parking canopy; b. The area of re-claimed landscaping; and . c. The double row of evergreen shrubs for screening the southern property boundary. POSSIBLE PLANNING COMMISSION MOTIONS —SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST: Under policy set by the Board of Supervisors, the Commission shall include in its recommendation for ZMAs and SPs with:special exceptions and conditions a recommendation for special exceptions per SP201800007 and SP201800008: 1895 Avon Street Extended Planning.Commission: September 25, 2018 Page 10 .

The property is currently developed with an existing 1-story, 1,664-sf block building and associated gravel parking and staging area covering approximately the front 2/3 of the site. So they can consolidate their existing businesses into one location in Albemarle County,the applicant is proposing to construct a addition of approximately for a total square footage of after development. The applicant is not proposing any additional onsite impervious area. 1 ' Page 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended c�O 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative 9� Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com 46 1700 ` 90c 1-02-11 9OC1-01-10 17450CC1 O2--13 - 1719 1 1955 SITE -0 1725 90C1-02=-14 / 1965 ,/ 1781 _ 1972 1967; 1g F •-42 90C1-01-7 r1� ) / 1974 0 33 1790 ` i982 197, -0b�• 90C1-01-w 1977 .7% 1786 : } 1984 vGa-01-S $ 4� 192 1 e6 0332t01 Ia ,14141182 1890 1 r 1778 - lilkIIIIII41111; Lof '4 911-33A o Q l0.3 90- i. _ i/L742 14 Figure 1 -Albemarle County GIS Map(90-35A1) B. Albemarle Limousine (AL) and Virginia Auto Detailing(VAD) are operating by-right at their current location at 175 South Pantops Drive, which is zoned Highway Commercial. In accordance with Zoning Ordinance Section 26.2(a), these uses each require a Special Use Permit to be located on the subject property due to the LI zoning category. C. Zoning Ordinance Section 26.2(a) requires a Special Use Permit for commercial uses in the LI district that are allowed by-right or by special use permit in the Commercial (C-1), Commercial Office (CO) and Highway Commercial (HC) districts. As discussed at the pre-application meeting on April 30, 2018, the limousine rental is allowed by right in the HC district under use#25. Motor vehicle sales,service and rental. Also, the auto detailing use would be allowed by right in the HC district under use#2.Automobile, truck repair shops. D. The auto detailing use run by VAD is convenient to AL, and they also provide detailing services by appointment. VAD is a high-quality, low-volume service business and in addition to providing hand washes, interior and exterior detailing,they also offer the following services: • engine cleaning • compounding out scratches • wet sanding out scratch 21 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended ��� 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative Q Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 � Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com • sanding down head lights/buffing head lights • spray wax, polish or buff wax • cleaning and dressing of rims and tires • shampooing of seats and floor • cleaning, shining, and conditioning of vinyl and leather E. The hours of operation for the uses will be Monday through Saturday from 8AM to 6PM. After- hours dropping off of vehicles may occur from time to time as is customary for a limousine rental company. F. AL will park its fleet consisting of four over-sized motorcoaches and 8-12 additional SUV's, sedans and sprinter vans at the rear of the property screened from view. The Conceptual Plan indicates the parking envelope for the fleet and adequate turning movements for the over-sized vehicles. G. The limousine rental and auto detailing uses provide a public need and benefit. Both uses generate employment within the County. Both uses are well-established businesses in Albemarle County and are currently operating by-right at their current location at 175 South Pantops Drive in the HC zoning district. AL has been in operation since 2008. They offer a premier transportation experience for group events, weddings, tours, and faith-based events to name a few. VAD provides specialized, high-end services to AL and other clients who seek a boutique auto detailing service. They are not a high-volume, high-turnover business, and their quality and thoroughness make them an exemplary business in the County. H. Screening of Automotive Use and Vehicles for Hire: The applicant is proposing the installation of a raised planting box and sliding gate that will serve as screening for the parking of the rental fleet of vehicles and the auto detailing use and staging of automobiles. The grade also drops front to back across the site, which helps to block the view from Avon Street Extended. The Conceptual Plan indicates a site cross-section showing the sight line from Avon Street Extended going over the vehicles to be stored onsite, but please also refer to Figures 2 and 3 on the next page for an accurate rendering of the view of the site from eye level. 31 3O 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative -q Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com e .. t. x 1.1.1.4"."111.111.11"1."11.1.111=NEMmr-- ' lit Figure 2—Driver's Eye View from Avon Street Extended —1.61.11111—/................_:. ., . .,.,• _ 'i' Figure 3—Driver's Eye View from Avon Street Extended (Straight-on) 4I 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended �0 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 � Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com I. Side Parking Setback: Along the southern property boundary line with the future Spring Hill Village development, there is a 30' parking setback required per Z.O.4.20(b). The majority of the setback area is wooded,however there is an approximate 165'-long portion of the existing entrance and travelway that is located within the 30'setback. The applicant is proposing to park approximately seven parking spaces within the 30'setback and mitigate the rest of the area with additional landscaping. The applicant is requesting a Special Exception under separate cover for a modification to allow the parking within the setback. II. Project Consistency with the Comprehensive Pan A. The property is in the southern portion of the Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods Master Plan and its Comprehensive Land Use Designation is Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial (ORDFLI) as shown in Figure 4 below. eV ~1411*i editSV 424 .

Surrounding Properties 1) Located to the north and east of the property is a large tract of properties that are zoned LI are designated as ORDFLI future land use in the Comprehensive Plan. The property directly to the north is comprised of ten (10) buildings with various uses that are served off Snow Point Lane. The building directly adjacent to the property is B&W Auto Body Shop (see Photo 3 on Page 7), but other businesses on Snow Point Lane include Aqua Clean Pools, Colonial Webb HVAC, Whitley Sheet Metal and Roofing, Home Patient Care and Small Town Towing. There is an eight-foot high board-on-board fence that screens the Snow Point Lane properties from the subject parcel (See Photo 4 on Page 8). 2) The parcel to the east is zoned Light Industrial and denoted as ORDFLI future land use in the Comprehensive Plan. The property is undeveloped and currently wooded. The rear of the subject property will remain undisturbed and heavily wooded,which will obscure the view of this parcel located downhill. 3) The parcel to the south is designated as Community Mixed Use and is zoned Neighborhood Model District. It is currently undeveloped and wooded, but there is an approved ZMA 2013-00017 that was approved on 10-8-14 entitled "Spring Hill Village" for a residential subdivision. The proposed commercial uses on the edge of the light industrial district will serve as a more suitable transition to this residential neighborhood to the south than what potentially could be proposed under the current L1 zoning. The proposed uses will be screened by existing vegetation located on the subject property along the southern property line. Proposed lighting for the subject property are anticipated to be provided only where the proposed parking is located for safety purposes, and well off the southern property line, so no adverse impacts from parking lot lighting are anticipated, even though the site is located uphill from Spring Hill Village. 4) Faith Temple Church is located directly across Avon Street Extended from the site entrance. The Church and adjacent properties on the other side of the street are all designated as Neighborhood Density Development and are either vacant or have single family detached dwellings. C. The purpose of the ORDFLI land-use designation is to provide employment generating uses with only the lightest impacts in the light industrial category. The businesses together will employ approximately 12-16 full-time and 10-16 part time employees. The commercial uses will have no impact in the light industrial category. Their location on the southern edge of the industrial 6 � 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 /� Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com district provides a more suitable transition to the Spring Hill Village residential development located directly adjacent to the south. D. The "primary uses" indicated in the Master Plan for the ORDFLI designation include office uses. Each of the proposed special uses will have an office component. By development of the property as proposed, nothing would preclude the site from a future industrial use. E. The Master Plan encourages commercial uses as secondary so long as they are compatible with nearby and adjacent uses. The use directly adjacent to the north of the property is an auto body shop (see Photo 3 below), which is an automotive use that is more intensive than the proposed rental and detailing companies. Like the auto body shop, the applicant proposes to screen their fleet of vehicles from public view using landscaping or other screening practices. Also note an 8'-high board-on-board screening fence exists between the property and the businesses on Snow Point Lane (see Photo 4 on Page 8).

The proposed commercial uses are well-suited given the property's location directly adjacent to Spring Hill Village, a future residential planned subdivision. The Master Plan discusses the need for a transition from the light industrial district to residential properties on Avon Street Extended and the proposal accomplishes that goal. G. The acreage size per the Master Plan varies between 5 and 25 acres ideally. The property is comprised of 1.5 acres of land, but it is located within a larger cluster of light industrial uses on the east side of Avon Street as can be seen in Figure 4 on Page 5. III. Impact on Public Facilities and Infrastructure A. Since the property is a re-development in the Development Area, no significant impacts to public facilities and infrastructure are anticipated. 81 \\ 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com B. Water and Sewer-The property is in the Development Area and is currently served by public water and sewer. Upon discussion with the ACSA, no sewer capacity issues are anticipated. As part of the site plan and building permit process, the applicant will confirm adequate water pressure and flow requirements with the ACSA. C. Stormwater Management-Since the site is already highly impervious and no net increase to the impervious areas are anticipated, there will be no attenuation of runoff required for downstream receiving channels. The applicant will need to offset water quality impacts for redevelopment. This will be achieved by one or more of offsite control, nutrient credit purchase, or onsite methods. This will be addressed as part of the stormwater management permitting process D. Traffic and Access—No adverse effects are anticipated to the road system or area traffic. The uses generate a relatively low amount of traffic volume and VDOT is not requiring a traffic study. The site is located on State Route 742 with adequate sight distance. There is an existing right- turn lane into the development. E. Fire and Rescue—The site is located approximately 1.3 miles from the Monticello Fire and Rescue Station. The existing and proposed building addition will be protected by the existing fire hydrant located across from the site entrance. IV. Impact on Environmental Features A. No significant impacts to environmental features are anticipated with the redevelopment. B. The applicant proposes to maintain the existing grading and drainage characteristics of the site to include only minimal grading as needed to construct the building addition and concrete pad. No significant grading is proposed. C. There are steep slopes located along the perimeter of the property. These slopes are classified as Managed Slopes on the Albemarle County maps as shown in Figure 3 on Page 10. The applicant does not intend to disturb the managed slopes. In the event incidental disturbance is considered during the site plan phase or during construction, the applicant and contractor must adhere to the County regulations in Zoning Ordinance Section 30.7 and the requirements of the State Stormwater Permit. 9 a 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative .4 Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com Xfir/ //T1ø •417:( .. / / r �_a: .

The property is located outside of a Water Protection Stream Buffer and 100-year floodplain. Storm runoff from the site flows towards the southeast towards Cow Branch, which is a stream located approximately 1,000 east of the property across Scottsville Road (Route 20). The closest FEMA floodplain is approximately 1 mile downstream to the north. Moore's Creek is located almost 3 miles to the north. E. There are no known wetlands or streams on the property. F. Prior to site work, the applicant will be required to obtain a Land Disturbance Permit from Albemarle County, and a VPDES General Construction Permit from DEQ to ensure compliance with state regulations for Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. G. The proposal does not include disturbance of approximately of the rear 1/3 of the property, which is heavily wooded and indicated on the Conceptual Plan. This undisturbed area serves as an approximate 175'-deep buffer covering the entire 115'-width of the property, providing stormwater filtering and preserving wildlife habitat and vegetative buffer area. 10 I � 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative � Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 �� Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com V. Additional relevant Zoning Ordinance factors in evaluating a Special Use Permit A. Zoning Ordinance Section 26.3 describes additional factors when considering Special Use Permits for general commercial uses as follows. 1) a- The purpose of the industrial district in which the use is proposed. RESPONSE:The existing industrial district is characterized by lighter industrial uses including a garden shop, pool supply company,auto body shop, home health care, and contractor offices so the proposed uses fit in well with the district. 2) b- The proposed use and its proposed size should be consistent with the intent of the applicable industrial district. RESPONSE:The use and size of the proposed uses are consistent with the adjacent businesses. 3) c- The use proposed should not be located on the lowest floor of any building having direct exterior access to the ground surface in order to allow that floor to be used for industrial purposes. RESPONSE:There are no industrial purposes proposed with the application. The proposed use will not preclude the property from being used for industrial purposes in the future. 4) d- The gross floor area of each establishment should not exceed three thousand(3,000) square feet. RESPONSE:The gross floor area of the auto detailing establishment will be 1,664 sf and the limousine rental portion will be 3,712-sf. 5) e- The aggregate gross floor area of the independent offices or general commercial uses, or both, should not exceed twenty-four thousand(24,000)square feet and should not exceed twenty-five (25)percent of the gross floor area of the building. RESPONSE:The aggregate floor area of the commercial uses will be 5,376 sf,which is the total gross floor area of the building. 11 J a-NN. 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative " Ph.434.242.2866 May 21,2018 �� Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com 6) f- Whether the structure or structure expansion will be constructed to the standards required for industrial structures, regardless of its intended use. RESPONSE:The applicant intends to construct the expansion to the standards required for industrial structures. B. Zoning Ordinance Section 33.8(a)describes additional factors the Board shall reasonably consider when acting upon a special use permit application as follows: 1) No substantial detriment. The proposed special use will not be a substantial detriment to adjacent lots. RESPONSE:The proposed use is less intensive than the uses on the adjacent lots directly to the north. A screening fence exists between these lots. Screening will also be provided to block the view of the proposed uses from Avon Street Extended. The rear 1/3 of the site will be left undisturbed, providing a densely wooded buffer to adjacent lots. There are existing woods along the southern property line that will be undisturbed and will continue to provide screening for the adjacent Spring Hill Village residential subdivision. This buffer may be increased by approximately 10 feet in width near the entrance to the property with the installation of a standard VDOT entrance. 2) Character of district unchanged. The character of the district will not be changed by the proposed special use. RESPONSE: Since the proposed use is located directly adjacent to another automotive use and its size is relatively small compared to the overall district,the character of the district will remain unchanged. 3) Harmony. The proposed special use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter, with the uses permitted by right in the district, with the regulations provided in section 5 as applicable, and with the public health, safety and general welfare. RESPONSE:The proposed special use is harmonious with the by-right uses in the district and the intent of Chapter 33. The requirement of a site plan and stormwater plan will ensure the public health, safety and general welfare. The regulations of Section 5, particularly 5.1.31,will also be adhered to for the automotive detailing 12 O. 30 Scale, LLC 1895 Avon Street Extended 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Project Narrative Ph.V 434.242.2866 May 21,2018 Revised July 30,2018 mike@30scale.com use, including a.)all parts, materials and equipment shall be stored within an enclosed building, b.)no vehicle awaiting repair shall be located on any portion of the site so as to be visible from any public street or any residential property, and shall be limited to locations designated on the approved site plan, c.)all services shall be performed within an enclosed building, and d.)no buildings in which services are performed shall be located closer than fifty(50)feet from any residential or agricultural district. 4) Consistency with comprehensive plan. The use will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.

What is the estimated number of chauffeured vehicles, limos, buses, etc. for rent? a. Applicant's response: Approximately 11-13 vehicles of various size, including 47-, 32-, 24-, and 24-passenger coach buses, as well as several sedans and/or SUVs that will be stored towards the rear of the property. 2. Will most of the property be used for parking/servicing? a. Applicant's response: Site will utilize the existing parking area to provide parking for customers near the front (approximately 10 spaces).Company vehicles will be parked in the rear, and a screening fence will block views from front of limos being stored in the back. Materials for the fence have not been determined but it will be some sort of sliding gate, with a goal of restricting visibility. 3. How will stormwater runoff be managed?• a. Applicant's response: No additional stormwater management will be required since there will be no change in impervious surface area, but we will have some sort of onsite water quality facility (rain garden or purchase nutrient credits). Stormwater runoff will occur as sheet flow off the edge of parking lot. 4. Will the runoff contain pollutants? a. Applicant's response: County requirements for impervious anticipates that runoff will contain oils or other pollutants from vehicles. The State also has requirements for control of pollutant production. The proposed automotive detailing use would not primarily involve intensive water use, but would rather be more geared towards more deep cleaning, labor-intensive work on exterior and interior of vehicles. 5. If permitted, the proposal does include any limit on the amount of washing that could be done. How will the applicant address more sheet flow from the detailing services, including car washing and engine deep cleaning? a. Applicant's response: Typically, from rain events, gully washes are major concern. b. Staff comment: Proposed automotive detailing use would not require water capture and reuse as a zoning requirement. 6. Does the Zoning Ordinance consider car washes and automotive detailing to be different uses? If so, what are the distinctions? a. Staff comment (9/7/2018): Yes, they are different uses. Commercial car washes may be subject to different regulations, including water capture and reuse requirements, which are not necessarily applicable to automotive detailing operations (or "automobile, truck repair" use in this instance). 7. Will there be any indications of motor vehicle rental operations (such as gas pumps)? a. Applicant's response: No—that is not a part of these proposals. 8. Concern about the number of car washes—how much water is being anticipated in runoff calculations? a. Staff comment (7/6/2018): Stormwater management computations and mitigation will be addressed through VSMP and WPO plan review (as may be applicable). Attachment D 9. Concerns about visual appearance, including a preference to see this development be "prettier than Snow's." a. Applicant's response: We will have to install a sidewalk as a site plan requirement. We are planning to install more landscaping towards the front, which will also be addressed during the site plan process. The line of sight from Avon Street Extended is anticipated to go over the vehicles, as shown on the plan submitted with the special use permit applications; because of topography and the proposed screening fence, the rental vehicles won't be visible. Additionally, the parking in front will not create significant visual impacts —it will only be for customers which are not high volume, and it will be minimized by the existing topography (headlights would be pointing into the hill). There is also 200' of wooded area in rear portion of property. b. Staff comment (7/6/2018): According to Web-GIS, there is significantly less than 200' feet of wooded area in the rear portion of the property. 10. Will the proposed uses create a heavy increase in traffic? How are the average vehicle daily trips calculated? Does this include employees and deliveries? a. Applicant's response: No, not a heavy increase—we are expecting low numbers from traffic generation estimates. The ITE trip generation estimates show 8-14 vehicle trips per day (VTPD) combined from both uses. That is based on square footage: 1,500 SF of existing building plus the proposed new addition. 11. Sidewalk is very important infrastructure— is this potential improvement, or will this be required? a. Applicant's response: Sidewalks were brought up in pre-application meeting by Community Development staff. The development to the south (Spring Hill Village) is a Neighborhood Model Development plan that includes a sidewalk on Avon Street Extended. b. Staff comment: Staff unsure if this is a requirement of the site plan process — but we will keep this feature and this issue in mind. c. Staff comment (7/6/2018): Sidewalks can potentially be required by County staff pursuant to Zoning Ordinance 32.7.2.3-(a), if the issue is not explicitly addressed during the legislative review process. , 12. Will the existing parking lot remain gravel surface, or be paved? a. Applicant's response: This has not been determined for the rear portion; we anticipate that it will be paved in areas near the garages (to prevent the vehicles from getting dirty). 13. Are any bike lanes planned? Concern about how a sidewalk will fit into the larger plan for connectivity in the area. a. Applicant's response: No, not with this project. However, a sidewalk is consistent with larger section. A multi-use path has mostly been talked about on the west (opposite) side of Avon Street Extended; bike lanes can be discussed as part of site plan process. 14. Has VDOT looked at these proposals?There is concern about the hill coming up to the property/ people pulling out of"blind" entrance. a. Applicant's response: There's an existing [northbound] right turn lane that helps the view. Sight distances will need to be approved by VDOT as part of the site plan review process. VDOT did not have any concerns regarding sight distance at the pre-application meeting. 15. Who received notice for this meeting? a. Staff comment: The list of recipients of the community meeting invitation including surrounding property owners, including the Mill Creek HOA. 16. If permits are granted, what could happen with a future decision to increase the area of impervious surface? a. Applicant's response: If these special use permits get approved, we will have to come in for a site plan to get land disturbance permit. We will have to comply with State Code and County regulations. 17. If Spring Hill Village is developed, is there a provision for the storm sewer for this project to connect to Spring Hill Village stormwater infrastructure? a. Staff comment: Stormwater is typically managed on site. 18. Since this property is in the Development Area, would storm sewer be extended out like water? If so, when? a. Staff comment: No information about whether this is planned, or not. There are questions (uncertainty) about using someone else's storm sewer to convey. 30 Scale, LLC Q 871 Justin Drive,Palmyra,VA 22963 Ph.434.242.2866 �� mike@30scale.com July 30, 2018 Tim Padalino, AICP County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: 1895 Avon Street Extended Special Exception—Request for a modification of the 30'parking buffer-Letter of Justification Albemarle County, VA- TM 90-35A1 Dear Tim, Please find this letter, fees and attached Conceptual plan our request for the approval of a modification to allow an encroachment into a portion of the 30' parking buffer established between the subject property and the adjacent parcel to the south at TM 90-28 known as "Spring Hill Village", which is currently zoned Neighborhood Model District and subject to approved ZMA 2013-00017. The previous property owners had already encroached into the 30' buffer as shown below in Figure 1. The approximate area of encroachment is approximately 2,500-sf and the length of the encroachment is approximately 165 feet measured eastward from the Avon Street Extended right-of-way line. %:t\ EXISTING CONCRETE PAU1 — Z 30 `�..� ' SIDE PARKING SETBACK 01 ca Z rn m y2 APPROX.2.500-SF EXISTING Q !

This additional parking is required to support the proposed uses and is the subject of the Special Exception modification request. To mitigate the proposed parking within the setback, the applicant is proposing the following improvements to the existing site conditions: 1) Shifting of the travelway on to the site by approximately 22 feet to the north. 2) Re-claiming of approximately 1,000-sf of previously disturbed buffer area with landscaping. 3) Where the existing planting strip along the southern edge of the property is less than 20'-wide, providing a double-row of evergreen shrubs (minimum height of 18") at 10' on-center in accordance with the screening requirements of Z.O. 32.7.9.7 (c) and (d). +- 700-SF PARKING ENCROACHMENT • (VARIES FROM 0 APPROX. 1,000-SF OF TO 16) RE-CLAIMED _' PROP.
