Sewer service will soon be necessary for future development of the property. Zoning and Current Utility Service : Christian Aid Mission consists of approximately sixteen (16) acres presently zoned Commercial Office. They are presently located within the "Water Only" service area of the Albemarle County Service Authority. Public water is not being utilized at this time , however. Comprehensive Plan: This property and others to the east are located outside of the Urban Growth Area because of their location in the South Fork Rivanna Watershed. • STAFF COMMENT It has been the Board of Supervisors ' policy in the past to limit utility service to those areas located outside of the County' s designated growth areas and/or those areas located within the watershed of a drinking water impoundment. This policy is used as a tool for discouraging intensive development in those areas not designated for future growth and development, as well as those areas of drinking water impoundments which are most sensitive to development impact. Christian Aid Mission, as well as those properties located eastward between Route 250 West and the C & 0 Railroad, fall for the most part within the Board' s criteria for limited utility service. For the Board's information, some of the properties mentioned above have approximately one hundred (100) feet in depth along Route 250 West, which drain into the Morey Creek Watershed rather than the South Fork Rivanna Watershed. Based upon the information above, the Board may wish to consider two alternatives for Service Area amendment: • Allow sewer service to this area for existing buildings (as of this date) only; and/or • Allow both water and sewer service ,to the areas along Route 250 West which drain outside of the South Fork Rivanna Watershed.
