BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting ACSA Jurisdictional Area designation for water and sewer service to a 3.93- acre
lot located on the south side of Three Notch'd Road (Rt. 240), approximately 600 feet west of the entrance to
Western Ridge (Attachment A - applicant's request, Attachment B — location and tax map). The property is
located within the designated Crozet Development Area, in the Whitehall Magisterial District. Parcel 87 is
currently the site of a trucking business consisting of three buildings and is zoned L1, Light Industrial. The
current ACSA designation is for water to existing structures only. The adjacent parcels to the west and east
of this site are both designated for public water and sewer service (Attachment C).
There was a preliminary site plan (SDP 2002-098 Crozet Mini Storage) submitted in September 2002
requesting approval to construct 17,475 square feet of self-storage buildings on the site. The preliminary site
plan was deferred indefinitely to address several issues, one of them being ACSA Jurisdictional Area
approval for water and sewer service.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is located in the Crozet Development Area. The Comprehensive Plan provides the
following concerning the provision of water and sewer service to the development Areas:
"General Principle: Urban Areas, Communities, and Villages are to be served by public water and
sewer(p. 114)."
"Provide water and sewer service only to areas within the ACSA Jurisdictional Areas (p. 130)."
"Follow the boundaries of the designated Development Areas in delineating Jurisdictional Areas
(p.130)."
The Comprehensive Plan recommends serving Development Areas with public water and sewer. This parcel
is located within the Crozet Development Area and should be designated as part of the ACSA Jurisdictional
Area for public water and sewer service. Water supply in Crozet is provided by Beaver Creek Reservoir.
RECOMMENDATION:
As a general policy, staff has advised that public utility capacity should be reserved to support development of
designated Development Areas. This request is consistent with public utility policy of the Comprehensive
Plan. Since this property is located within a designated Development Area, the provision of both water and
sewer service to the properties would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan public utility policy.
Therefore, staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approve this request for public water and sewer
service to Tax Map 56, Parcel 87.
