HomeMy WebLinkAboutSP199500043 Staff Report 1996-02-21STAFF PERSON: WILLIAM D. FRITZ
PLANNING COMNIISSION: DECEMBER 12, 1995
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: JANUARY 10, 1995
SP 95-43 CLAUDIUS CROZET PARK. INC.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to improve the facilities located at the
Claudius Crozet Park. These improvements include but are not limited to: new pool, parking,
walking trails and play fields. The applicant has submitted plans showing the existing
improvements and proposed improvements which are included as Attachment C. Staff has
reviewed this request as a Community Center which is permitted by special use permit in accord
with Section 10.2.2(1). This facility receives some funding from the County and has a recorded
agreement with the County which limits the use of the property to recreational and public
purposes. The existing use is non -conforming.
Petition: Petition to allow relocation of the existing pool and construction of additional
recreational facilities on 22.4 acres zoned RA, Rural Areas. Property, described as Tax Map
56A2, Section 1, Parcels 72 and 72A, is known as Claudius Crozet Park. This site is located in
the White Hall Magisterial District and is recommended for public/semi-public use in the
Community of Crozet.
Character of the Area: This site is currently developed with recreation facilities and is used as
a park. Residential development is located in the area.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of
Section 31.2.4.1'of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval.
Planning and Zoning History: The existing pool is 36 years old. No other history is available.
Comprehensive Plan: This area is identified as public/semi-public use in the Community of
Crozet. The existing and proposed uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use
permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance
may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of
substantial detriment to adjacent property.
The site has been used for public purposes for a number of years and approval of this request
does not represent the introduction of a new use into the area. Complaints regarding activities at
the site have been received. The complaints have been due to special events and not the normal
operation of the site. These complaints have been investigated by the Zoning Department and
the proposed conditions of approval are intended in part to address the complaints which have
been received. Staff opinion is that the construction of additional facilities at the site will not be
of substantial detriment to adjacent property and the conditions of approval for this special use
permit will help to correct past problems.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby.
This request does not represent the introduction of a new use into the area and, therefore, does
not change the character of the district:
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance.
Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.
Staff opinion is that this use is consistent with the Ordinance as it provides for additional
recreational activities in the Crozet Community which is consistent with Section 1.4.4.
with the uses permitted byrright in the district.
Approval of this request will not affect permitted by -right uses on adjacent property.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance.
Section 5.0 contains regulations for Community Centers (5.1.4). These regulations are attached.
This facility has received some public funding and staff opinion is that the review of the Board of
Supervisors to authorize funding is sufficient to address the issues of Section 5.1.4. Staff opinion
is that the regulations of Section 5.1.16 are also applicable. This provision regulates swimming,
golf and tennis clubs. The proposed development of the site meets the setback requirements of
this section. Conditions of approval are proposed to address other provisions of Section 5.1.16.
This proposal is consistent with the relations of Section 5.0. While the proposed development
does address the provisions of Sections 1.16, staff notes that the proposed pool is closer to
residential areas than the existing pool. A play field is also proposed on an undeveloped area
adjacent to residential property.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare
Staff has included conditions requiring Health Department approval and improvement of the
entrance to this facility. With these conditions staff opinion is that the public health, safety and
general welfare is protected.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this request:
1. Approval of this request allows for improved recreational opportunities in Crozet in a
location which is: (1) consistent with the purpose and intent of the ordinance; and (2)
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land use for Crozet;
2. The proposed activity is in accord with the supplemental regulations of Section 5.0;
3. Approval of this request will bring a non -conforming use into conformity and establish
reasonable conditions to address past concerns.
Staff has not identified any unfavorable factors for this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff opinion is that this request is in compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 and
recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
RECOMMEND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. Use of the property shall be in general accord with the attached plan titled "Illustrative
park master plan" initialed WDF 11/30/95;

Please find listed below our comments for the December submittals.
SP 95 43':Ciaudaus Crozet Park,nc.ts 1264_y
The existingentrance on Park Road should be i
_ improved to meet -commercial
entrance standards. The entrance meets sight distance requirements, but could
be enhanced by cutting two (2)'8" pine trees to the immediate west of the,
existing entrance-.
ZMA-95-18 .Lloyd &-Patricia Wood. Route 631 -- - --
The proposed usage would appear to be less than could be developed. There is a
signal proposed for Rio Road intersection, therefore a signal warrant analysis
should be performed to determine need for installation_of signal. If
warranted, signal plans need to be developed for review.
ZMA-95-19Mill ..Creek -Industrial Land Trust, Route 1165-
The rezoning from light industrial to PUD is not significantly- different in
regard totrip generation. However, commercialusescan generate many more
trips. The commercial use of this land may be a very gray area at this time,
therefore we recommend that the four -lane cross-section of Southern Parkway be
extended to the west of Stoney Ridge Road. As a minimum, a right turn lane
should be provided from existing alignment.

The structure should be built so it will not impact Route 810 by directing
water into roadway. An allowance should be made for blockage at the bridge
that will direct water around structure and back into the streambed so as not
to impact roadway.
