Tax Map 79, Parcel 1 0
Dear Mr. Young:
On December 12, 2007, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP 2007-
00034 to allow a church with seating for 374 persons, on a 7.32-acre portion of an 865. 167-acre
parcel located on Tax Map 79, Parcel 1 0 in the Rivanna District. This special use permit was
approved based on the following conditions:
1) The church's improvements and the scale and location of the improvements shall be
developed in general accord with the conceptual plan entitled Charlottesville First
Church of the Nazarene", prepared by The McKnight Group, and dated November 20,
2007, provided that:
a) Entrance improvements shall be approved by VDOT prior to final site plan
approval, and shall include a right-turn lane at the entrance;
b) All parking setbacks and undisturbed buffers required by Zoning Ordinance ~
21.7, Minimum Yard Requirements, shall apply; and
c) The number of parking spaces shall not exceed one hundred fifty (150) without
amendment of this special use permit. Relegated parking should be used to the
greatest extent possible.
2) The area of assembly shall be limited to a maximum three hundred seventy-four (374)-
seat sanctuary;
3) Facilities on the site shall be used for church activities and shall not be rented or used
for separate commercial uses available to the public. A daycare facility shall require
approval of an additional special use permit for that use;
4) All outdoor lighting shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from the abutting
properties. A lighting plan reasonably limiting the amount of adverse outdoor light
pollution shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for approval as a condition of
preliminary site plan approval;
5) Virginia Department of Health approval of well and septic systems before final site plan
approval;
6) If the use, structure, or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not
commenced within the meaning of Zoning Ordinance ~ 31.2.4.4 by December 12,2012,
the permit shall be deemed abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall
thereupon terminate; and
. .,
7) The plans shall be in general accord with the architectural renderings presented by the
applicant at this meeting (December 12, 2007), subject to modification by the
Architectural Review Board.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action
on the project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully
begin until all applicable approvals have been received and conditions have been met.
This includes:
. compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT;
. approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN; and
. approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not
commenced within sixty (60) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed
abandoned and the permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any
structure necessary to the use of the permit."
If you have questions or comments regarding the above-noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact Sherri Proctor at 296-5832.
Sincerely,
