REGENTS SCHOOL OF CHARLOTTESVILLE INC) Samuel Miller Magisterial District
Dear Mr. Shimp:
In response to your request for an official determination of the satisfaction of Condition #3 of
SP2018-00011 Regents School, to allow an increase in enrollment of 280 students to an enrollment of 322
students, I have made the following determination:
On September 18, 2019, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved SP2018-00011 to allow
Regents School to operate a private school. The SP includes a condition which will enable an increase from
the approved enrollment of 280 students up to a maximum of 468 students and a change in the start time of
the school from 7:45 A.M. to a time later provided that the applicant could demonstrate certain thresholds
related to transportation impacts would not be exceeded. This is detailed in Condition #3 of the SP.
The submitted request for an increase in enrollment, most recently dated November 17, 2020, provided the
required information to demonstrate that the increase in enrollment to 322 students would not increase the
transportation impact thresholds described in Condition #3. County Transportation Planning Staff and VDOT
reviewed this request and the associated Traffic Impact Analysis. After consultation with Planning Staff and the
Community Development Director, we have agreed that the criteria described in Condition #3 have been
satisfied to increase enrollment. Thus, I am determining that an increase in enrollment to 322 students is
permitted.
Anyone aggrieved by this determination may appeal it within thirty (30) days of this notice, in accordance with
Virginia Code § 15.2-2311. If a timely appeal is not filed, this determination becomes final and unappealable.
An appeal may be taken only by filing an appeal application with the Zoning Administrator and the Board of
Zoning Appeals, in accordance with § 34.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, along with a fee of $240 plus the actual
cost of advertising the appeal for a public hearing.
Applications for Appeal of the Zoning Administrator's Determination are available at the Community
Development Department located at 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, Virginia 22902, or online here for
Zoning Administrator Determination or Appeal. This form applies to the appeal of the Zoning Administrator's
decision or any other administrative officer pertaining to the Zoning Ordinance.

The following is staffs analysis related to the Regents School Request for Increased Enrollment most recently revised on
November 17, 2020. This request was submitted to address Condition #3, approved with SP2018-11 "The Regents School
of Charlottesville," and allows for operational changes at the Regents School if certain transportation impacts do not
exceed thresholds defined in that Condition. Specifically, Regents School is seeking to increase the enrollment limit from
280 students to 322 students by submitting a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) which demonstrates adherence to the traffic
impact thresholds outlined in the Condition.
The Thresholds defined in that Condition are as follows:
a. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements with a delay greater than 50 seconds; and
b. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements with a delay greater than 35 seconds,
unless it will have a delay greater than 35 seconds in the future no -build, provided that if the future no -build
shows a delay greater than 35 seconds the future build cannot increase by more than 10 seconds; and
c. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements increasing by more than 15 seconds
between the future build and no build conditions; and
d. Operations at the US 29 Bypass interchange at Fontaine Avenue Extended may not result in it being placed on the
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Top 100 Potential for Safety Improvement (PSI) locations for
intersections or segments.
Additionally, the Condition allows the applicant to use the data already contained in the initial TIA submitted for this
Special Use Permit from October 12, 2018 to analyze the impacts of the increase in student enrollment as long as the
request is submitted prior to August 2021. As a result, the applicant was able to limit the scope of the assessment to the
most problematic intersection, the SB 29 Bypass off-ramp/Fontaine Avenue intersection and was able to use the trip
generation methodology calculated for that initial TIA for all trips below 280. Staff did require the applicant to use the ITE
Trip Generation Rates for all students above 280.
The TIA was initially submitted in March of 2020 and revised a number of times to address comments from Albemarle
County and VDOT. The most recent updates to this TIA are included in the request from November 17, 2020. The findings
show that at an enrollment of 322 the analyzed intersection meets all thresholds defined in the Condition. Specifically:
a. The longest delay would be 34.9 seconds.
b. Therefore "b." is not applicable since no delay is greater than 35 seconds.
c. The greatest delay increase is 7.2 seconds.
d. The US 29 Bypass interchange at Fontaine Avenue is not currently (2018 release is the most current) on the VDOT
Top 100 Potential for Safety Improvement (PSI) locations for either segments or intersections.
VDOT has also reviewed this TIA and has determined the analysis and findings to be valid. Therefore staff recommends
approval of this request.

RE: REGENTS SCHOOL REQUEST FOR INCREASED ENROLLMENT
Dear Ms. Filardo,
Condition #3 approved with SP2018-11 "The Regents School of Charlottesville," allows for operational
changes at the Regents School site on tax map parcels 07600-00-00-01700 and 07500-00-00-06600
contingent upon the submittal of a formal request that includes a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) which
demonstrates adherence to certain traffic impact thresholds. In accordance with Condition #3, this is a
formal request for operational changes to increase student enrollment from 280 students to 322 students at
the Regents School of Charlottesville at their proposed Reservoir Road location. As required by
Condition #3, traffic study information is included with this request; there are various Traffic Impact
Assessments (TIA's) that demonstrate adherence to the parameters put forth in Condition #3 by
evaluating the anticipated impact of the school on the Fontaine Avenue interchange. These Traffic
Impact Assessments were completed by Engineering and Planning Resources (EPR) in accordance with
the traffic impact scope required by VDOT during the review of SP2018-11. The December 19, 2019
TIA, last revised April 14. 2020, demonstrates that at an enrollment of 328 students with a 7:45 a.m. start
time, the proposed operational change at the Regents School, would not result in any movements with
delays in excess of the thresholds outlined in Condition #3 for the Rt29/Fontaine SB intersection.
Although the EPR traffic study demonstrates that the thresholds outlined in the approved special use
permit conditions will not be exceeded with an enrollment of 328 students, both VDOT and transportation
planning have expressed a desire for the evaluation to be completed using FFE trip generation numbers
instead of the trip generation per the "Actually Expected Trip Making Potential" that EPR used to
evaluate the traffic impact in the traffic studies that were completed in conjunction with the special use
permit and that were completed in conjunction with the operational changes request. We have modified
our enrollment request from a maximum enrollment of 328 to 322 to reflect the maximum enrollment that
would be allowed using ITE trip generation estimates. Impacts from the proposed school on the
Rt29/Fontaine NB intersection were previously evaluated in the October 12, 2018 Traffic Assessment.
This assessment evaluated the impacts of the school with an enrollment of 460 students at a start time that
was during the AM regular peak hour of traffic. Since this enrollment request is for 322 students, 138
students less than what was evaluated in the October 12, 2018 Traffic Assessment, and the school has
operational limitations on their start time per the conditions of approval, which limit the school to opening
no later than 7:45 a.m. to avoid traffic conflicts with the projected background AM peak hour traffic. any
traffic impacts on the Rt29/Fontaine NB intersection from 322 students with a 7:45 a.m. start time will be
minor and not in conflict with the conditions of approval. As allowed by Condition #3 (e), the Traffic
Impact Assessment dated October 12, 2018 and associated supplemental TIA's submitted with
912 E. High St. Charlottesville, VA 22902 1434.227.5140 1 shimp-engineering.com
SP201800011 are being used as the baseline traffic data for this supplement. The TIA dated December 19,
2019 and last revised April 14, 2020 and the October 12, 2018 TIA demonstrate the following, as
specifically outlined in Condition #3:
a. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements with a delay greater
than 50 seconds; and
b. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements with a delay greater
than 35 seconds, unless it will have a delay greater than 35 seconds in the future no -build,
provided that if the future no -build shows a delay greater than 35 seconds the future build
cannot increase by more than 10 seconds; and
c. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements increasing by more
than 15 seconds between the future build and no build conditions; and
d. Operations at the US 29 Bypass interchange at Fontaine Avenue Extended may not result in it
being placed on the VDOT Top 100 Potential for Safety Improvement (PSI) locations for
intersections or segments.
October 12, 2018 TIA, Rt29/Fontaine NB Intersection
The October 12, 2018 TIA evaluated the impact of 230 and 460 students during the peak hour. Even at an
enrollment of 460 students and a start time during the peak hour of background traffic, the projected
traffic impacts are minimal on the Rt29/Fontaine NB Intersection and do not conflict with the thresholds
outlined for operational changes in Condition #3. The "no build condition" which is for no school
construction in the 2018 TIA, compared to the proposed "build condition' for 230 students with a start
time during the peak hour is provided below from the October 12, 2018 TIA:

The greatest delay at the Rt 29/Fontaine NB intersection between the no build and build condition in 2028
is the Rt 29 NB NBL movement which have a delay increase of 1.5 seconds.
In the October 12, 2018 study, EPR evaluated the impact of 460 students on the Rt 29/Fontaine NB
intersection during the AM peak hour of traffic.

At an enrollment of 460 students. the anticipated impacts on the Rt 29/Fontaine NB intersection are
expected to be minimal. Again, the movement that would experience the longest delays is the NBL
movement which would experience a delay increase of 4.4 seconds from the 2028 build condition with
230 students. When compared to no build conditions, which in the case of the October 12, 2018 study,
was a no construction scenario, the delay increase for the NBL movement between the no build scenario
and the build condition of 460 students during the AM peak hour was 5.9 seconds. The delay from an
SP2018-11 Operational Change Request 13
enrollment of 460 students during the peak hour which has heavier background traffic than the 7:15-7:45
a.m. drop-off time for 138 additional students is less than the delay thresholds outlined in Condition #3.
The delays at the Rt29/Fontaine NB intersection for an enrollment of 322 with a 7:45 a.m. start time will
be less than the delays for an enrollment of 460 students with a start time during the peak hour because
the enrollment number is less and the background traffic is less.
Here's a summary explanation of how the data provided from the October 12, 2018 TIA demonstrates
compliance with the following conditions:
a. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements with a delay greater
than 50 seconds; and
Even with an enrollment of 460 students at a start time during the peak hour there are no
movements in the Rt 29/Fontaine NB intersection with a delay greater than 50 seconds. This
operational request change is for 322 students with a start time no later than 7:45 a.m. and
therefore, the impacts on this intersection with fewer students during a less busy time will be
less than the impacts of an enrollment of 460 students with a 7:45 a.m. start time.

cannot increase by more than 10 seconds; and
With an enrollment of 460 students at a start time during the peak hour there are no
movements in the Rt29/Fontaine NB intersection with a delay greater than 35 seconds. Again,
this request is for 322 students which will result in fewer trips and less delays than 460

c. The proposed operational changes would not result in any movements increasing by more

As aforementioned the greatest delay is the NBL movement which incurs a 5.9 second delay
between the no build and the 460 student enrollment build condition during the peak hour.
The delay in the NBL movement between an enrollment of 230 students and 460 students is
4.4 seconds.

March 6, 2019 and December 19, 2019 revised April 14, 2020 TIM Rt29/Fontaine SB Intersection
The traffic impact assessment and supplements completed during the review of SP2018-11 showed the
movement most impacted by the construction of the school would be the southbound left (SBL)
movement at the Rt29/Fontaine SB intersection. EPR completed an additional traffic assessment dated
December 19, 2019 and last revised April 14, 2020 to evaluate this critical movement if the school were
to operate with 328 students with a start time of 7:45 a.m. For the purposes of the conditions of approval,
an enrollment of 280 students with a 7:45 a.m. start time is considered the "no -build" condition. The no
build condition was evaluated in a June 14, 2019 supplemental traffic assessment and is provided below
under the title "No Build Year 2028." The build condition is for 328 students with a 7:45 a.m. start time is
provided below under the title "Build Year 2028" and was evaluated with the TIA supplement dated
December 19, 2019 last revised April 14, 2020.
As aforementioned, this operational changes request has been modified to request a total enrollment of
322 students to reflect an adjustment made to the EPR trip generation numbers to be consistent with PIE
trip generation numbers and so although, the most recent EPR study finds that an enrollment of 328
students would not exceed the thresholds approved with the special use permit condition, the enrollment
was adjusted to account for ITE trip generation estimates.
