PLANNING COMMISSION: January 24, 2023
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: N/A
BACKGROUND
The County is proposing to locate a public safety operations center at Fashion Square Mall, in a
portion of the old JC Penney building (Attachments 1 and 2). The facility would provide office
space and supporting storage and vehicle maintenance services to the County Police and Fire
Rescue Departments. The facility would provide space for "back of the house` uses and
activities; there will be no publicly accessible services provided at this site.
Public uses are permitted by -right in all zoning districts. However, if the proposed facility is not
specifically identified in the locality's Comprehensive Plan, a review for the facility's compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan is required by Virginia Code (Section 15.2-2232). A public safety
facility is not sufficiently identified in the County's Comprehensive Plan for this area therefore
necessitating this review.
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW
A Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Review ("CCP Review" or `2232 Review' in
reference to the Code of Virginia statute requiring this local review process), considers whether
the general location, character, and extent of a proposed public facility are in substantial accord
with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. It is reviewed by the Planning Commission, and the
Commission's finding is forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their information; no
additional action is required of the Board. The Commission's action is only related to the
appropriateness of the site for the proposed public use and is not an action or recommendation
on whether the facility should be constructed.
CHARACTER OF SURROUNDING AREA
The proposed site is a portion of the former JC Penney building, with associated parking on the
east and south sides of the building. The immediate surrounding area consists of the remainder
to the mall building and surrounding parking. To the east of the proposed site and mall is
Glenwood Station residential units and a portion of the Squire Hills apartment complex. Those
residential areas are a minimum of 630 feet and 470 feet from the JC Penney building,
respectively. Mature trees and screening vegetation exists along some of the eastern and
southern edge of the mall property.
Commercial development otherwise surrounds the mall property. Route 29 is designated an
Entrance Corridor (EC) route and is located on the west side of the mall (and JC Penney
building). There will be no impact on the EC from this proposal as there are no site changes or
building expansions proposed. Only small modifications to the east and south side of the
building are proposed; the addition of one garage door in the existing eastern wall of the
building and re -opening of one or more of the existing bays on the south side of the building.
The JC Penney store used to sell and service tires from within the building. The previous "tire
shop" area contained 8 bays, which still exist, though the bay doors were replaced with plywood
boarding.

PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY
Fashion Square Mall was approved for development in the late 1970s. No other major zoning
or site plan actions have occurred on this parcel since the early 1980s (one Minor Site
Development Plan Amendment was approved in 2000).
SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has provided an application and narrative that describes the project (Attachment
3). The following are the major aspects of the proposal:
• The County has entered a 10-year lease to use a portion of the former JC Penney
building in FS Mall.
• 32,140 sq. ft. of the total 96,108 sq. ft. building will be used for this public facility.
• The existing retail space within the building will not be impacted by this project and is
available for lease by others for commercial uses.
• Parking for this use will occur primarily on the south and east side of the building.
• For Fire -Rescue, the facility will be used for offices, supply storage, and fleet
maintenance.
Planning Commission January 24, 2023
Page 3 of 6
For Police, the facility will house offices for the Traffic Unit, Special
Operations/Community Support, K-9 Unit, Animal Protection, Mental Health Support,
and other file, material, and motorcycle storage.
General access by the public is not anticipated.
No changes to the site or exterior of the building are proposed, except for the removal of
one planter box, installation of one new garage bay door on the east side of the building,
and re-opening/re-installation of one or more of the existing "tire shop" bays.

COMMUNITY MEETING
The proposed project was presented to the Places29 Rio Community Advisory Committee on
August 25, 2022 (virtual meeting). The CAC asked questions about potential traffic impacts on -site
and whether this proposal would affect redevelopment plans/expectations for the mall and this site.
Additional traffic impacts are not expected from this proposal and there is no change to the traffic
circulation pattern on -site. The owner of the building anticipates using the building in manner like
the Comdial building (also owned by the same company), providing multiple leased space
opportunities for local businesses. No redevelopment of this site is proposed or contemplated by
the owner at this time. This building and parcel are under separate ownership from the remaining
portion of the mall and are not part of the Home Depot deveopment proposal and redevelopment
concepts. [Note: A fenced outdoor vehicle storage area noted as part of the CAC presentation is no
longer proposed on this site and will located elsewhere in the County.]
CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Staff provides the following information for the Planning Commission to consider regarding the
compliance of this proposal to the County's Comprehensive Plan.
Relevant Rio29 Small Area Plan Recommendations — The Rio29 Small Area Plan encourages a
mix of uses and recommends/allows a broad variety of uses to provide flexibility for the market
conditions and development opportunities. The Plans states:
Uses: A mixture of uses are permitted within all Place Types in Rio29 to encourage a variety of
options for residential, employment, recreational, cultural, and civic uses. Rather than prescribing a
specific set of uses and densities, the uses are intended to provide flexibility by listing broad
categories of appropriate uses. Flexibility in use can better position property owners to respond to
Planning Commission January 24, 2023
Page 4 of 6
market changes and can encourage a wider variety of housing types, especially smaller, more
affordable units. The form standards described on the previous pages will appropriately limit the
density and intensity of development that a site can handle, and will ensure that development is
consistent with adjacent neighborhoods and that it promotes pedestrian activity and active street
life. (p.25)
The Plan identifies four Place Types in the Small Area Plan area: Urban Core, Core, Flex, and
Edge. This site is in the Flex place -type area. The Flex area "is intended to have the highest
amount of flexibility in building form and use. Buildings can have a range of heights and uses, but
buildings should be designed to make pedestrians comfortable.' (p. 27)
The uses recommended for Flex areas are:
GROUND STORY: Flexible
RESIDENTIAL: Multi -family residential, single-family attached4ownhouses
NON-RESIDENTIAL: Retail sales & general commercial service, hotel, institutional, light
industrial/manufacturing/storage/distribution/auto sales + service uses may be appropriate when
an applicant can demonstrate minimal impacts on surrounding uses, especially residential uses,
and the public realm. (p. 28)
The uses proposed with the Operations Center are consistent with the uses recommended/allowed
in the Flex place -type area, as noted above. Staff opinion is that the vehicle maintenance/service
aspect of the proposed facility is consistent with the allowable uses. The vehicle service activity will
have minimal impact on the surrounding residential area, given the distance of the residential areas
from the building/service activity, the existence of vegetative buffers along the edge of the mall site,
and given that the service activity is contained entirely within the building.
Vegetation along eastern edge of Mall parcel buffering some residential units
The proposed facility will be located within an existing structure with no major exterior
modifications/expansions to the structure, and no other changes/improvements to the site;
therefore, there are limited opportunities to implement any of the form or connectivity
recommendations found in the Small Area Plan.
Community Facilities Recommendations of Comprehensive Plan - This proposal is consistent
with the relevant Community Facilities recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Plan,
including the following:
Community Facilities Objective 1: Continue to provide public facilities and services in a fiscally
responsible and equitable manner.
Planning Commission January 24, 2023
Page 5 of 6
Strategy 1 a. Give priority to facilities and services that address emergency needs, health and
safety concerns, and which provide the greatest cost -benefit ratio to the population served.
Strategy 1 b: Give priority to the maintenance and expansion of existing facilities to meet
service needs.
Strategy 1c: Continue to design all buildings, structures and other facilities to permit
expansion as necessary. Sites should be able to accommodate existing and future service
needs.
Strategy 1 d. Continue to locate related or complementary services and facilities together
when possible and when other goals of the Comprehensive Plan can be met.
This site provides for a central and accessible location within the County and Development
Areas and will relieve a long-standing need for additional secure storage and office space
that can no longer be provided at the COB, Fifth Street site.
Character and Extent of Proposed Facility - The character and extent of the proposed
public facility is consistent and compatible with the surrounding existing development, as
well as the uses recommended in the Rio29 Small Area Plan. The site is surrounded by
mostly commercial uses. The existing residential areas are sufficiently distant from the
proposed facility and the impacts of the proposed use are no more intensive (or less
intensive) than the impacts experienced from the mall at full occupancy. The Operational
Center will bring back some activity and vitality to a large, vacant building.
SUMMARY
Staff finds the following factors favorable to this request:
1. The location, character and extent of the proposed public facility is consistent with the County's
Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Rio29 Small Area Plan Use recommendation.
2. The facility provides space needed for essential support functions for public safety agencies.
3. The projects fosters the reuse of an existing vacant building and re -introduces activities into an
increasingly vacant commercial center.
Staff finds the following factors unfavorable to this request:

PLANNING COMMISSION: January 24, 2023
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: NIA
The County is proposing to locate a public safety operations center at Fashion Square Mall, in a
portion of the old JC Penney building (Attachments 1 and 2). The facility would provide office
space and supporting storage and vehicle maintenance services to the County Police and Fire
Rescue Departments. The facility would provide space for "back of the house" uses and
activities; there will be no publicly accessible services provided at this site.
Public uses are permitted by -right in all zoning districts. However, if the proposed facility is not
specifically identified in the locality's Comprehensive Plan, a review for the facility's compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan is required by Virginia Code (Section 15.2-2232). A public safety
facility is not sufficiently identified in the County's Comprehensive Plan for this area therefore
necessitating this review.
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW
A Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Review ("CCP Review" or "2232 Review" in
reference to the Code of Virginia statute requiring this local review process), considers whether
the general location, character, and extent of a proposed public facility are in substantial accord
with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. It is reviewed by the Planning Commission, and the
Commission's finding is forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their information; no
additional action is required of the Board. The Commission's action is only related to the
appropriateness of the site for the proposed public use and is not an action or recommendation
on whether the facility should be constructed.
CHARACTER OF SURROUNDING AREA
The proposed site is a portion of the former JC Penney building, with associated parking on the
east and south sides of the building. The immediate surrounding area consists of the remainder
to the mall building and surrounding parking. To the east of the proposed site and mall is
Glenwood Station residential units and a portion of the Squire Hills apartment complex. Those
residential areas are a minimum of 630 feet and 470 feet from the JC Penney building,
respectively. Mature trees and screening vegetation exists along some of the eastern and
southern edge of the mall property.
Commercial development otherwise surrounds the mall property. Route 29 is designated an
Entrance Corridor (EC) route and is located on the west side of the mall (and JC Penney
building). There will be no impact on the EC from this proposal as there are no site changes or
building expansions proposed. Only small modifications to the east and south side of the
building are proposed; the addition of one garage door in the existing eastern wall of the
building and re -opening of one or more of the existing bays on the south side of the building.
The JC Penney store used to sell and service tires from within the building. The previous "tire
shop' area contained 8 bays, which still exist, though the bay doors were replaced with plywood
boarding.

PROJECT NAME: (how should we refer to this application?): Albemarle County Public Safety Operations Center
PROPOSAL (use separate sheet, if needed):
The County of Albemarle has entered into a 10-year lease with Fashion Square Assets LC for a portion of the former J.C. Penney's building at the
Fashion Square Shopping Center. The leased portion of the premises includes areas on the east side of the building which include "back of the
house" areas of the former retail store, including office space, storage warehouse, a former tire shop and the building's loading dock, totaling 32,140
SF of the total 96,108 SF building.
The County's use of the premises is to serve as an operations center for the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) and Albemarle County
Fire Rescue Department (ACFR). Specific uses within the lease area will be similar to and consistent with previous "back of the house" uses of the
property; primarily for storage and office space, with a portion of the warehouse to be used for the purpose of performing routine maintenance of
Fire Rescue apparatus. Specific functions housed in the leased area will include:
ACFR
• Quartermaster
o Offices (warehouse area)
o Supply Storage (warehouse area)
o Turnout Gear Storage (former hair salon area)
• Fleet Maintenance
o Apparatus Maintenance Shop (warehouse area)
c Pat^s and Tools Storage (warehouse ara)
ACPD
• Traffic Unit Offices (office area)
• Special Operations / Community Support (office area)
• K-9 Unit (office area)
• Animal Protection (office area)
• Mental Health Support (office area)
• File Storage (office area / former tire shop)
Material and Motorcycle Storage (former tire shop)
Except as necessary to accommodate these internal uses, no exterior improvements are contemplated. One or more of the existing roll up doors of the
former fire shop — which were covered with painted plywood after that operation was closed— will be exposed to allow easier access to the ACPD
Material Storage area. A planter adjacent to the public entrance on the east side of the building will be removed so that a bay door maybe installed
to accommodate pass of ACFR apparatus.
Utilization of the site will occur within the parcel footprint (shown below). County fleet vehicle and employee personal vehicle parking is expected
to be limited to only those persons assigned to work within the leased area, though some staging of ACFR equipment awaiting maintenance can be
expected on the south side of the property.

Existing retail space within the building will not be impacted by this project. Further, the lease contemplates the possibility of future commercial
uses within the building and includes clauses for the loading dock and a portion of the warehouse to be designated as Common Areas at such time as
another business/agency leases space within the building, so that future tenants have use of and ease of access to the loading dock. Similarly, the
hallway leading to the east exit, which includes the public restroonns, would also revert to Common Areas.
