The Christian Aid Mission complex is comprised of four buildings and associated parking on 12.5 acres. Administration Building is used by Regents School of Charlottesville. The building is a two story building with a basement. 3 Site Conditions Favorable • The use is being located in an existing underutilized building. • Adequate parking is available onsite for the amount of students and staff proposed for the use (Areas P6 & P7) . • VDOT — entrance is adequate and the increase in enrollment will not significantly impact traffic on Ivy Road. • The Health Department - reviewed the capacity analysis of the existing septic system and has approved the increase in persons at the facility to 96 persons (teachers and students). PARKING - The CAM complex currently has 54 spaces available, of those RSC currently utilizes areas P1, P2, P3 for a total of 15 spaces as previously approved. To accommodate the additional enrollment 10 additional parking spaces are requested for use by RSC, increasing the total parking needs of the school to 25 parking spaces total (1 car per 10 students, 1 space per teacher /administrc or). The additional spaces for the increase in enrollment already existing onsite in areas ?6 and P7 (see attached Surveyl /concept plan) and are to be utilized by the facility. HEALTH DEPARTMENT — The applicant had a capacity analysis completed by Old Dominion Engineering. The result show 96 person capacity able to be handled. \i/ " 56/( l am"` 4 CONCEPT PLAN \ 4 0. by oaffME mPk &s rte 4 5 • i s \ i \ :" .. s.< i Proposed amendment to the approved concept plan. The use of Areas P6 and P7 for parking. And the addition of a small wooden fence at the rear of the property to prevent recreational balls from rolling down the hill. Extra: The area between the play area and thE - ailroad tracks consists of extremely thick foliage and steep slopes which consist Sntial thorny brush and vines which resemble conditions similar to that of in an attempt to address this issue RSC has proposed to install a relatively smu ::n fence (4' tall and 60' long) painted black along a portion of the rear yard tc !nt recreational balls from rolling down the hill during recess. This fencing will replace existing temporary orange snow fencing which currently serves in this capacity. 5 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of SP 201300010, Regents School of Charlottesville with the following modifications to the existing conditions from SP201200012: 1.The school is limited to the existing administrative building and grounds, as shown on the concept plan (Attachment A). All parking for the facility shall be located in areas designated on the concept plan as PI, P2, P3, P6, and P7. Any additional buildings or other site changes beyond those shown on the approved site plan for SDP 1992 -052 titled "Christian Aid Mission Administration Building" prepared by William W. Finley and date approved July 14, 1994 require an amendment to this Special Use Permit. 2. The maximum number of students and school personnel shall not exceed 96. 3. All students shall be over the age of 2 '/ years old. 4. Hours of operation for the school shall be between 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except that occasional school - related events may occur after 4:00 p.m. 5. No food preparation is permitted onsite without an amendment to this Special Use Permit. The County Attorney requested condition #2 be modified from the staff report because M teachers are not "enrolled." Thus condition # 2 shall state: "The maximum number of students and school personnel shall not exceed 96." Please note that: SP2012 -12 permitted 60 student enrollment by condition of SP. The school planned to have 8 teachers and 1 administrator based on that enrollment (that was not a part of the condition). This time around for SP2013 -10 the school ran into a septic system capacity issue and was cap:ied at 96 persons (students and teachers) for regular school operations by the HD. Thu.> the condition was revised we accounted for school administration as well as for students. EXTRA: I have followed up with the Health Department as whether having occasional after hour events such as student teacher conferences in which parents come to the site may impact the septic system. The HD responded as they do not believe this would affect the system and their limits were merely placed on regular school operations. They will confirm with the Engineering who performed the capacity analysis if this will suffice. 6 `w wr MOTION A. Should the Planning Commission choose to recommend approval of this special use permit: Move to recommend approval of SP201300010, Regents School of Charlottesville, with conditions as stated in the staff report. B. Should the Planning Commission choose to recommend denial of this special use permit: Move to recommend denial of SP201300010, Regents School of Charlottesville. Should a commissioner motion to recommend denial, he or she should state the reason(s) for recommending denial. Some suggested wording for the Motion. 7 8 E)*<:_tra The following Slides Extra (just incase the PC wants to discuss the train track vegetation in more detail) 6' 9 ftiO Ng" Aer j..` ,i 11 '‘,,,::\e '; -•",!: ..:'''' ii(qi s'::4,:;,.1:41,4!;',80,rti;„-' :' ' ',,,,,:x 4''''''''',' :: l'ilft7,- - ,,, iz t x l's!'''':',-,.'„a,', f l "x k d 3 f s #0 A Ufa ' gam t : e il . e l f . §' f r -S � y y : � a a !, �' `�,F d'y .. ti t� Extra the play information, just incase the BOS has concerns about distance to railroad track: At the August 21, 2012 PC meeting there was a question /concern from a PC member of the need for fencing based on the distance from area to the railroad tracks and or the road for concerns children may be able to access the railroad tracks. As you can see from the aerial map and the various distances (from the webgis) of po tential areas for concern a transportation crossings there is substantial distance and heavily wooded tree buffer between the rear of the property where the railroad tracks are located and the school/ proposed PE area.

Fencing shall be provided at a minimum around the perimeter of the Physical Education Area, or at other locations as required by the County to ensure safety of children adjacent to Broomely Road and the railroad tracks at the rear of the property. Final design of the fence shall be subject to review and approval by the Architectural Review Board. This slide contains a condition which is only to be used if the BOS feels that fencing should be required as a condition of approval. (This condition has not been reviewed or approved by the County Attorney or Zoning) 'k'k* If this condition is utilized, Condition #1 may need to be reworded to allow a fence be shown on a site plan amendment/ LOR. At the August 21, 2012 PC meeting there was a question /concern from a PC member of the need for fencing based on safety concerns and the distance from the play area to the railroad tracks and or the road. As you can see from the aerial map on previous slides which depicts the various distances (from the webgis) of potential areas for concern and transportation crossings there is substantial distance and heavily wooded tree buffer between the rear train tracks at the rear of the property. After seeing the above, if the Board is also concerned with this issue a condition which requires fencing may be instituted/ included in the proposal. 16
