HomeMy WebLinkAboutSP201300009 Review Comments 2013-03-19Al, Q; County of Albemarle Department of Communitv Development Memorandum To: Johnathan Newberry, Planner From: Amelia McCulley, Director of Zoning Date: May 20, 2013 Subject: S.P. 2013 -09 All Things Pawssible — second Zoning comments I have reviewed the additional information submitted by the applicant and have the following comments: 1. Parking: The applicants have noted that the proposed uses will be similar to the existing uses at this business. Their proposed uses fall into three categories in terms of parking generation: a) daily doggy day care and overnight kennel; b) training classes; and c) infrequent special events such as competitions. Any new parking will need to comply with the applicable parking standards (Section 4.12) or obtain the necessary waivers or special exceptions. a. They intend to maintain a maximum number for doggy day care of 70 dogs. The overnight kennel use is and has been significantly fewer dogs than the day care use. The parking study conducted on May 8'" and 9'" shows that 10 spaces can adequately handle the proposed doggy day care and overnight kennel uses. The nature of this use in terms of traffic generation is somewhat distinct from a traditional commercial dog kennel and is more similar to a day care center for children or aging populations. For a day care center use, the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance requires one space per 10 enrolled children plus 1 per employee. By this calculation and consistent with their parking study, this use requires 10 parking spaces {7 (based on 1/10 dogs for 70 dogs) + 3 (1 /employee x 3). b. Based on the parking study showing two night involving a training class, 10 spaces will be adequate for this use. Because the classes occur outside of the time for doggy day care, there is limited overlap. c. Special events are infrequent and occur most often on weekends when the day care use does not. The applicant has made provisions for off -site parking to accommodate staff and perhaps others during special events. It is my understanding that they have a preliminary agreement. It will be necessary to have an executed parking agreement prior to our approval of the zoning clearance for this use. Please make this a condition of approval. 2. The current Zoning Ordinance classification for this use is "commercial kennel." The applicant's use is more of a training facility than many commercial kennels. As part of the training, the have staff handlers with the animals at all times. As a result, this operation results in less barking and therefore less noise. I am therefore able to support their proposed fencing material as opposed to the concrete block or brick mentioned in Section 5.11. Both you and I have observed the current operation and you have taken sound meter readings. Because our review has been based on this lower noise generation, it may be advisable for the approval to incorporate a condition about having staff handlers with the dogs at all times. 3. Period of Approval: Please establish by condition of approval, the time in which the use must be commenced. Review Comments Project Name: ALL THINGS PAWSSIBLE New Special Use Permit Date Completed: IThursday, May 09, 2013 Reviewer: Joel DeNunzio Department /Division /Agency: VDOT Reviews Review Status: No Objection Review Comments Project Name: ALL THINGS PAWSSIBLE New Special Use Permit Date Completed: Friday, May 03, 2013 Reviewer: Josh Kirtley Department /Division /Agency: Health Department Reviews Review Status: No Objection r COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone(434)296 -5832 May 3, 2013 Karen Quillen All Things Pawssible 321 E Main Street, Suite 400 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 RE: SP201300009 All Things Pawssible Ms. Quillen: Fax(434)972 -4176 Staff has reviewed your initial application to establish what is defined under the Zoning Ordinance as a "commercial kennel' at 1201 Stoney Ridge Road. We have a number of questions and comments which we believe should be resolved before your proposal goes to public hearing. Comments from all reviewers are provided in this letter, except for VDOT and the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA). I expect to receive them shortly. However, the major issues that will need to be addressed before moving forward to the Planning Commission are listed below. These issues also show up in comments from other reviewers listed in this letter, but it is important to identify these as major concerns that should be addressed with a resubmittal as soon as possible: Additional Uses: It does not appear that the current narrative submitted with the March 18th application covers all the proposed uses on this site. The uses that are currently outlined include training, as well as short -term and long -term boarding for dogs. Please describe any other uses that will take place on this site. Will there be areas devoted to subordinate retail sales of items, such as dog food, treats, etc.? Will there be areas devoted to supporting commercial activities, such as grooming or acupuncture or massage therapy? Will there be an area devoted to providing a residence for employee(s)? Will there be special events that take place mainly on weekends and holidays? If so, please give a full description of these activities including (where applicable): — Frequency of use (e.g. monthly or not more than 10 times per calendar year) — Days of the week /Hours of operation (e.g. only on weekends, no later than 8:00pm) — Square footage of area devoted to the use — Anticipated number of participants (e.g. open to the public or no more than 75 invited guests only) 2. Parking: Based on the Zoning Ordinance requirements, there is currently not enough approved parking spaces to accommodate the proposed use. A parking study will be needed to demonstrate how all of the proposed uses will have adequate parking. Examples of approved parking studies are included in this packet and may act as a template for your own submission. The Zoning Division will review this information and make a final recommendation about the adequacy of parking. As we have discussed, a shared parking agreement with adjacent sites is likely necessary for larger events. 3. Noise: Please specifically mention how impacts from noise associated with this use will be addressed. Section 4.18.04 of the Zoning Ordinance shows that the maximum permitted decibels in the receiving zones around this property is 70 dBA. While some staff members have been able to experience the relatively small noise impact at the current All Things Pawssible location in the City, our Code Enforcement Division will be obligated to investigate any complaints at the new site using a noise meter. Please see comments from the Zoning Division for further information on how to address this issue. In addition to the concerns listed above, the full list of reviewers' comments are outlined below: Planning — J.T. Newberry. 434 - 296 -5832, ext. 3270, inewberry @albemarle.org Planning comments are organized as follows: • How the proposal relates to the Comprehensive Plan • The Neighborhood Model analysis • Additional Planning Comments Comprehensive Plan Comments on how your project conforms to the Comprehensive Plan will be provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report that will be prepared for the public hearing. The comments below are in preparation for the public hearing and may change based on subsequent submittals. The proposed development is within Neighborhood 4 of the Comprehensive Plan and designated as Industrial Service. Industrial Service uses include warehousing, light industry, heavy industry, research, office uses, regional scale research, limited production and market activities, supporting commercial, lodging and conference facilities, and residential (6.01 -34 units /acre). The current use is in conformance with the Comprehensive plan. Neighborhood Model General comments on how well the proposed development meets the principles of the Neighborhood Model are provided here. More detailed comments may be provided at a later date if changes are made and /or after more detailed plans are provided. Pedestrian The existing site and surrounding properties do not have any pedestrian Orientation connectivity. Adding a sidewalk and pedestrian pathways does not make sense in this location, as most of the surrounding uses are industrial in nature. This principle is not applicable. Neighborhood Again, the existing site and surrounding properties do not lend Friendly Streets and themselves to this principle. No streets are proposed, this is an existing Paths site. This principle is not applicable. Interconnected No additional streets are proposed with this special use permit. This Streets and principle is not applicable. Transportation Networks Parks and Open This is an existing office /industrial site. The expansion of the use does Space not lend it self to provide parks and open space. This principle is not applicable. Neighborhood This is an existing office /industrial site along an existing parkway. This Centers principle is not applicable. Buildings and Spaces This is an existing office /industrial site. The proposed outdoor areas for of Human Scale dogs will not impact this principle. Relegated Parking There is existing parking on site located in the front and back of the building. Additional and /or shared parking will be needed for the variety of uses proposed on this site. A parking study is recommended. At this time, this principle is not met. Mixture of Uses This proposal does include a mixture of limited residential and commercial uses. This principle is met. Mixture of Housing The proposal to provide an accessory apartment for employee(s) meets Types and this principle. Affordability Redevelopment The special use permit for the expansion of an existing mixed -use site. By using the existing site, and not developing elsewhere, this principle is met. Site Planning that There are critical slopes on the site, and the proposed additions Respects Terrain currently do not disturb these areas. This principle is met. Clear Boundaries This project is not adjacent to the rural areas. This principle is not with the Rural Areas applicable. Additional Planning Comments Current Development The following comments relate to the current proposal's ability to meet site plan ordinance requirements. I anticipate the need to process a Letter of Revision (LOR) or a Minor Site Plan Amendment depending on the scale of changes in the final concept plan for the following reasons: 1. The existing landscaping currently on -site does not match the latest final site plan. There may need to be future changes to the landscaping based on the location of the fenced outdoor area for the smallest dogs or "tater tots." 2. There are unapproved areas being used for parking not currently shown on the final site plan. If additional on -site parking is needed, then our Engineering Division will need to review and approve the design (gravel vs. paved, need for curbing, etc.) and location of the new areas. Our current policy suggests that a LOR be used for adding up to three parking spaces and a Minor Site Plan Amendment is suggested for more than three spaces. 3. Will it be necessary to add any other exterior improvements to the building or to the site overall? If a shared parking agreement is made with the office building located above this site, then will a pedestrian connection be provided? Will there be an easement across the travel aisle for employees to access the staircase at the back of their building from the parking area? Special Use Permit Review 1. In order to have a public hearing with the Planning Commission on June 4th, we need to meet a May 13th deadline to publish the legal advertisements in the newspaper. recognize this is a short turnaround. This means that Staff will need to have enough information to conclude that this application is ready to be heard by the Planning Commission. I believe this is possible if we can work together over the next week to address the major concerns listed above. Please contact any of the reviewers directly if you have further questions about their comments.

Al, 1 County of Albemarle Department of Communitv Development Memorandum To: Johnathan Newberry, Planner From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator Date: April 23, 2013 Subject: SP 2013 -09 All Things Pawssible — initial submittal I have reviewed the initial submittal and have the following comments: 1. Please ask the applicant to address the criteria within Section 26.3 for consideration with special use permits. If the proposal will not meet any of the criteria, such as not using the first floor of the building, please ask the applicant to explain and justify their proposal. Specifically, the applicant should address how this proposed use will be compatible with and will not detract from surrounding industrial uses. 2. Please ask the applicant to address how the proposed fencing provides soundproofing. Specifically, how does this fencing material provide soundproofing to the extent of concrete, block or brick as noted in Section 5. 1.11 (a)? 3. It would be helpful to have information, such as actual sound meter testing, to confirm that this use as proposed, will comply with the maximum sound levels outlined in Section 4.18.04. Engineering may have further suggestions for how best to address this. We want to assure that noise associated with this use will not negatively impact surrounding industrial uses. 4. Please ask the applicant to breakdown the proposed use of the building in terms of area and time of day usage. For example, will the groomer, acupuncturist and massage therapist be there at the same time? Parking for this use is an issue that will need to be addressed at least in more general terms, with the special use permit. This concern about addressing parking at this time is due to these several factors: a. the adjoining office building is using part of this property as parking area. This parking need will need to be addressed in some manner; b. this site is somewhat constrained in terms of available parking and possible expansion for parking; c. this proposes removal of existing parking; and d. there is inadequate parking onsite based only on the Zoning Ordinance parking requirements for commercial kennels and not considering the additional uses proposed. The applicant will need to submit a parking study that explains a) why their use is distinct from a commercial kennel (so that parking standard should not apply); b) what parking they currently use and what services are currently provided? This second question is get to at a comparison from which we could extrapolate the needs for their current proposal. It would be helpful to have parking counts at various times of the day, in regular intervals such as each hour.

The comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review. 1. The yard for small dogs is situated above an existing drainage easement. The small yard shall be relocated to maintaian unobstructed access to the drainage system on site. 2. It appears the site offers only a few parking spaces. If more parking spaces are proposed, all parking areas on site shall not exceed 5% grade in any direction. 3. The report shall address how waste is collected and removed from site for the two proposed materials, Pro - Green with Share Drainage Blanket and Surface Coating Pro. For example, the report describes turf that can be hosed off into a self contained drainage system. What is this drainage system? Also, it is difficult to tell on plans where the materials are proposed. Please label on plan. 4. The 6' fence is the only item proposed to mitigate noise. This is a tentative compliance under section 18.4.14 since operational methods are proposed to address noise. Compliance is based on a promise of good behavior. Careful consideration is recommended as this may place a policing burden on the neighbors and County staff. Compliance might be obtained by enclosed kennels or sound barriers. I recommend a noise study on an existing All Things Pawssible site.

Virg nia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice are required before 2 Special Use Permit may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. Applications reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals, however, only require one public hearing and therefore require just one fee for public notice. The total fee for public notice will be provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body. Staff estimates the total cost of legal advertisement and adjacent owner notification to be between 5350 and S450 per hearing. This estimate reflects the average cost of public notice fees for Special Use Permit applications, but the cost of certain applications maybe higher.

I recommend a noise study on an existing All Things Pawssible site. Please contact Michelle Roberge in the Engineering Dept at mroberge(@albemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3458 for further information.
