I recall the SPCA representative saying those were their operating hours and the PC used that. My suggestion is that the concept plan be changed to indicate the area to be planted with the row of trees. Also, the wording of the conditions (your attachment) should be run by zoning and Greg K. Finally, while we can be working to finalize the wording of the conditions, we should not consider them final until Sharon has gotten last night's action memo approved by the PC. Please get with her on the timing of that. I know we want to have the SPCA package for the Board agenda done by next Friday, December 21. Thanks, Wayne From: Judith Wiegand Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 9:35 AM To: Wayne Cilimberg Subject: SPCA Conditions Wayne, I have taken a stab at rewriting the conditions for the SPCA SP, based on the Commission's direction last night. As I understand it, they asked that: 1) the hours animals are walked/exercised outside be from 7am to 8 pm, 2) that the animals be supervised, and 3) that a row of trees be planted along the north side of the property. Please make whatever changes you think are necessary. I'll forward our version to Sharon for the minutes and action letter. Thanks! Judy Judith C.

How should we handle the screening between the SPCA property and the residentially zoned property next door?This is the property that is currently owned by VDOT as a ROW for the bypass. Thanks.

If so it should be more than one line of trees, and should be designated as evergreen, double row, 15' on center - to conform with ordinance requirements. thanks, Marcia On Dec 13, 2007, at 6:24 PM, Sharon Taylor wrote: <draft action memo PC 12 11 07 submit to staff.doc> 1/9/2008 Page 2 of 2 Marcia Joseph,ASLA,AICP At Large Representative Albemarle County Planning Commission Joseph Associates LLC 481 Clarks Tract Keswick,Virginia 22947 Phone 434-984-4199 Fax 434-984-3098 1/9/2008 Page 1 of 3 Judith Wiegand From: Judith Wiegand Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 9:24 AM To: Greg Kamptner Subject: RE: SP 2007-044 SPCA Amendment conditions Thanks, Greg.

Various waivers have been requested. They should be processed with the Special Use Permit. 2. The proposed building appears to be 48 feet from the property line instead of 50 feet. This may be due to the scale of the plan. The applicant should be put on notice that the site plan cannot be approved without verification that the building is 50 feet from the property line. This is not an issue that needs to be addressed prior to Special Use Permit review,it should simply information provided to the applicant.

A public hearing before the Planning Commission has been tentatively set for December 11, 2007. Your application has been reviewed by the Department of Community Development, which includes the Planning Division and the Zoning and Current Development Division. The County Engineer, Albemarle County Service Authority, Fire/Rescue Department, and the Virginia Dept. of Transportation also reviewed the project and indicated that they did not have any comments or concerns about the Special Use Permit. Community Development comments are given below. In order to stay on the December 11 schedule, please provide all additional information requested below by November 13, 2007, the deadline for the County to receive final information before the Commission's December 11 meeting. Our comments are in five areas: I. Setbacks and fencing requirements for animal confinements II. Building and parking setbacks in Commercial Districts III. The existing building to be replaced IV. Concept Plan requirements V. Special Use Permit conditions I. Setbacks and fencing requirements for animal confinements. Section 5.1.11 of the County's Zoning Ordinance, "Commercial Kennel, Veterinary Service, Office or Hospital, Animal Hospital, Animal Shelter," gives the special requirements that apply to uses of this type. Two of them need to be addressed as part of your request for a Special Use Permit Amendment. First, Section 5.1.11a requires a 500-foot setback for animal confinements, which will apply to the proposed exercise and socialization areas. This provision can be waived by the p9,CO d7r7rdtgl/L2c0 drc79-421047 719,(11 0114r1 01_, -15 eieurac.1 ex.4,7 ciidt..i . SPCA Amendment, Ms. Susanne Kogut, October 12, 2007 Planning Commission "upon a finding that such requirement would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public health, safety, or welfare...." Requests for waivers are generally in the form of a letter from the applicant. A copy of this section is attached to this letter. taitiefii511' Second, Section 5.1.11a also requires a solid 6-foot high fence made of concrete block, brick or other material approved by the Zoning Administrator to be installed around non- ct 10))116 soundproofed confinements. This section may also be waived by the Planning Commission. Please indicate in your waiver request what type of fencing you propose to use and why it is preferable to the concrete block and other materials listed in the code section. Staff recommends that the fencing be at least 6 feet high. For both this waiver and the one above �J,,,,� for the 500-foot setback, if you would like staff to look over draft waiver language before a yto¢,p 77�w'�_,,,,¢�,� November13 submittal, please put it in an e-mail to me and I will ask staff to look it over. �I Y(y" I 04 II. Build g and parking setbacks ' Commerc gi,�istricts. In addition to the setbacks that are required for animal confinements mentioned above, your facility is also subject to the usual building and parking setback requirements for Commercial districts listed in Section 21.7 (Commercial Districts — Generally) of the Zoning Ordinance. For any portions of your property that are adjacent to public streets, including both Berkmar Drive and the proposed Western Bypass, the building setback is 30 feet from the street and no off-street parking or loading spaces can be closer than 10 feet from the public street right-of-way. Where your property is adjacent to residential districts, the building setback is 50 feet from the residential district (measured to the property line) and no off-street parking or loading space can be closer than 20 feet from the residential district. r�tu 1 (7 Staff is raising the issue of setbacks for two reasons. First, one of the fenced areas close the west side of the property (behind the main building) appears to encroach on the setback CO, /teA` line. All of the other pens shown on the north side of the property are very close to the line . as is the "Agility Area" in the southwest corner. Care must be taken during construction to make sure the fences do not encroach on the setback. (See III. below for the second reason.) 020% ha eii_ tZb :a410j 079 e1l2A III. The existing building to be replaced. The existing building that is proposed for 04 iO /W eir replacement is nonconforming because it is not set back from the property line as described Q• 6,0 above. If it is reconstructed on the same footprint and to the same dimensions, it can be rebuilt. However, if it is demolished and not rebuilt immediately, it will lose its C`rnIttiwl ft . =d nonconforming status and may not be rebuilt in the same location later. Staff recommends that, if at all possible, the building be relocated to respect the setback lines. IV. Concept Plan requirements. Please add/change the following items on the concept plan: 1. Show the "Existing Conditions" on one sheet; all the items currently in place. This sheet should be labeled "Existing Conditions" and dated. 2. The Existing Conditions sheet should indicate who owns the adjacent properties and what the current zoning is. 3. Show the proposed changes on a second sheet along with the existing conditions. This sheet should be labeled "Concept Plan," and should also be dated. 4. Include a legend on both sheets that identifies the different types of lines and other symbols. 5. Clarify which lines are the proposed new fences and which are existing ones. In some areas it looks like fence lines are crossing one another. 6. Please reference ZMA 2000-005 and SP 2000-022 on the plan. These are the file SPCA Amendment, Ms. Susanne Kogut, October 12, 2007 3 numbers for the original rezoning (the ZMA) and the first Special Use Permit (the SP). 7. Please indicate what activities are expected in the Tree Conservations Areas shown on the plan. Planning and Current Development staff will provide language for the condition relating to these areas as soon as we know what they are for. V. Special Use Permit Conditions. The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA currently operates under the following conditions (SP2000-022, approved 8/9/2000): 1. Planning Department approval of a tree conservation plan for the areas located along the Berkmar Drive road frontage. 2. The proposed use shall not accommodate the seasonal "Rummage Sale" or any other fundraising activities without amendment to this special use permit, or appropriate permitting by the Department of Building Codes and Zoning Services. 3. The site shall be developed in accord with the attached site plan dated May 12, 2000; revised June 12, 2000.0. Animals shall be confined in an enclosed building from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. 5. Full frontage improvements as required by VDOT shall be installed. . Uses shall be limited to an animal shelter and a veterinary hospital with associated offices only. Staff expects to update these conditions, as follows: 1. [Will add what the purpose of these conservation areas is so the County's enforcement staff will know what they are looking for.] 2. [Will remain the same] 3. [Will be updated to include the date SP 2007-044 is adopted] 4. [Will remain the same] 5. [Will be deleted once VDOT confirms that the improvements have all been completed] 6. [Will remain the same, except it will be #5] 7. [A condition, #6, will be added giving the specifications—height and material—to be used in the fencing.

As I mentioned in an earlier message, we will be sending you a formal "comment letter" in mid-October. As we review your application and prepare the letter, it would be very helpful for me to see the site as it is currently developed and to ask you some questions. This would also be a good time for me to explain two regulations that you will need to request waivers and/or modifications of, as part of your application. One is the 500-foot setback requirement and the other is the requirement for a certain type of fencin . Discussing these two items now will give you a head start on dealing with them before you receive the omment letter in mid-October. Would you have any time on either Tuesday, September 18 or Wednesday, September 19, to meet with me and show me around?

In the area of the Tree Conservation Area(see condition 1 of SP 2000—22)the Current Development Division, acting on behalf of the Agent, approves the trail location and design. 3. The proposed parking area shown on the plan in the VDOT right of way should be removed. 4. The proposed building near the entrance appears to be a reconstructed building. The building may be reconstructed at the same dimensions as pre-existed. Any increase in the building size will require amendment of the special use permit.

Subject: Bypass Right of Way Issue John, I have a real good question for you here—and need some guidance on how VDOT would like for me to handle it. The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA, located on Berkmar Drive, has applied for a special use permit to construct outdoor exercise and socialization areas for the animals (mostly dogs) that they are holding for adoption. One of the major concerns is that, according to County regulations, they have to keep these outdoor areas 500 feet from residential lot lines. The right-of-way that VDOT has purchased for the Western Bypass runs behind and directly adjacent to the SPCA's property. The question is, what does VDOT plan to do with this ROW? If it is going to be sold back to people who might want to build residences on it, the County needs to know that. Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated. I've copied Joel DeNunzio on this e-mail because he usually does the reviews for you. I wanted him to know I'd asked. Thanks. Judy Judith C.

The proposed Dog Pens are not shown on the plan referenced in the Special Use Permit. They may not be approved without amendment of the conditions of the special use permit. 2. The proposed trails may be constructed provided: a. No trees are removed. b. In the area of the Tree Conservation Area(see condition 1 of SP 2000—22)the Current Development Division, acting on behalf of the Agent, approves the trail location and design. 3. The proposed parking area shown on the plan in the VDOT right of way should be removed. 4. The proposed building near the entrance appears to be a reconstructed building. The building may be reconstructed at the same dimensions as pre-existed. Any increase in the building size will require amendment of the special use permit. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact me. Page 1ofl Judith Wiegand From: Judith Wiegand Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 4:43 PM To: 'Susanne Kogut' Subject: Question about your Special Use Permit Susanne, I am the County staff who will be reviewing your application for a special use permit for the fenced dog walking/socializing area at the SPCA. I have a question regarding the application. On page 3, in the written description of the request, you give hours of operation. I have typed in the section below adding "am" or"pm" in boldface as seemed appropriate. Would you please verify these hours and let me know if I have added them correctly? The outside fenced exercise areas are for the purpose of providing a venue for the dogs to play and get exercise to improve their overall health and well-being. In addition, the areas will be used by potential adopters to socialize and play with the dogs, to interact with the dogs to see if they would be a good addition to their family. The hours of use would be for adopters 12noon to 6pm, seven days a week and for volunteers and staff 8am to 7pm M-Thursday and 8am—6pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Thank you. Judy Judith C.
