FRITZ PLANNING COMMISSION: APRIL 2, 1991 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: APRIL 17, 1991 SP-91-04 FAITH MISSION HOME Petition: Faith Mission Home petitions the Board of Supervisors to issue a special use permit to allow the expansion of the existing church building to include sanctuary, foyer and restrooms [ 10 . 2 . 2( 35 ) ] on 9. 2 acres zoned, RA, Rural Areas . Property, described as Tax Map 3 , Parcel 1B is on the west side of Route 601 at the Greene County line in the White Hall Magisterial District. This site is not in a designated growth area. Character of the Area: The site is currently developed with the Faith Mission Home facilities. Several dwellings are located in Greene County near this site. APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing to add an approximately 2,800 square foot addition ( 40 x 70 feet) to the existing church. The proposed addition is to include sanctuary, foyer and restrooms. The application has obtained a variance (VA-89-35) to allow the construction of a septic field on slopes of 25% and greater. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with Section 31 . 2 . 4. 1 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY: May 9, 1989 - Board of Zoning Appeals approved variance request to allow septic system on slopes of 25% and greater. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This site is located in Rural Area I . The Comprehensive Plan discourages development in the Rural Areas of the County note related to bona fide agricultural/forestal use. The Comprehensive Plan does not speak to expansion of existing uses supporting the rural area population. This expansion is intended to improve current facilities, but not increase church membership. 1 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff opinion is that certain uses such as churches, day care, and schools contribute to the well-being and moral fibre of the community. In this posture, staff review is confined to issues of physical development while other considerations of appropriateness of the use to a given location is a matter of legislative discretion. This request is intended primarily to improve the facilities of the church. No significant increase in membership is anticipated and therefore traffic volumes and general activity on the site should not substantially change. Existing traffic on this portion of Route 601 is 96 vehicle trips per day based on 1986 traffic counts. The slopes of the area for the proposed expansion exceeds 25%. The applicant has submitted a building elevation showing the proposed expansion being built into the slope of the land. The Engineering Department has reviewed the request and has stated that it can support the request. There is limited area on site which would allow for additional construction. The only area available which is in slopes of less than 25% is used for a parking lot and no replacement area is available if parking were lost. The proposed construction technique, building into the slope, is preferable to the flattening of the site. In addition, no area is available in slopes of less than 25% which are available for expansion. Staff is able to support the proposed construction for the above reasons. Staff opinion is that expansion of the existing building will not result in substantial detriment to adjacent properties and will not change the character of the district. In order to ensure the public health, safety and welfare, staff recommends that the entrance be upgraded in accord with the comments of the Virginia Department of Transportation (Attachment C) . Staff opinion is that this request is consistent with Section 31. 2 . 4. 1 of the ordinance and therefore staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Expansion shall be limited as shown on site plan dated February 11, 1991; 2 . Staff approval of site plan; 2 3 . Entrance shall be upgraded in accordance with the comments of the Virginia Department of Transportation; 4. Department of Engineering approval of grading and drainage plans and calculations.

ROOSEVELT COMMISSIONER RESIDENT ENGINEER March 14, 1991 Special Use Permits & Rezonings April 1991 Mr. Ronald S. Keeler County Office Building 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA. 22901 Dear Mr. Keeler: The following are our comments: 1. SP-89-64 Lois Stewart-Wiebe, Route 810 - The design of the crossing of the river should be such that it does not cause flooding to Route 810. Some cutting and/or clearing of vegetation along the east side of Route 810 is needed to the north to insure that 250 feet of sight distance is maintained. 2. SP-91-04 Faith Mission Home, Route 601 - The entrances to this property are at the Albemarle/Greene County line. The section of Route 601 in Albemarle County is tolerable, while the section in Greene County of Route 601 is a non-tolerable gravel road. This request could result in some increase in traffic. The entrance on the west side of Route 601 that serves the existing sanctuary only has 110 feet of sight distance to the north. A minimum of 150 feet of sight distance is needed and to obtain this would require major grading of a steep bank. The Department recommends that the sight distance be obtained should this request be approved. 3. SP-90-102 Central Cellular, Route 240 - The existing main entrance on Route 240 for Acme Visible is adequate for access to this request. 4. ZMA-90-28 Church of God, Route 631 - This section of Route 631 is currently non-tolerable. The Comprehensive Plan shows the piece of property in this request to be low density residential. This 0.98 acres could generate approximately 200-250 VPD under the CO zoning. Under the R-4 zoning there would be approximately 30 - 40 VPD generated from this property. Yours truly, J. A. Echols Ass' t.
