Letter of Authonzation El YES El NO Section 31.2.4.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance states that, "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,that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,with the uses permitted by right in the district,with additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance, and with the public health, safety and general welfare." The items that follow will be reviewed by the staff in their analysis of your request. Please complete this form and provide additional information which will assist the County in its review of you request. If you need assistance filling out these items, staff is available. How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property? This amendment will not have any effect on the adjacent properties. This is just a change to the location of entrance to the future commercial building. This entrance and parking area has already been installed. This is a positive aesthetic change to the development since it reduces retaining walls. How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district(s)surrounding the property? The use and intensity of the development will not change; therefore the character of the district will not be impacted. However, the proposed change will improve the visual aesthetics of the development by reducing the retaining walls that can be seen by the adjacent properties. How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance? A special use permit was approved to allow residential uses within the CO zone for this site. It was determined at the time of the original SP process that the proposed residential use was consistent with the vision for the this section of Route 250 west. How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district? The proposed road will provide a better access to the existing commercial building that works with the topography of the development for normal use of the building. 9/22/08 Page 2 of 4 III 111 What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this use?
