HomeMy WebLinkAboutSP200800067 Review Comments Special Use Permit 2009-06-17�� OF ALg� .1 �IRGINI�r.. County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Claudette Grant, Senior Planner From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator Division: Zoning Date: June 17, 2009 Subject: ZMA 08 -07 and SP 08 -67 ATNA Building Since this use can begin without construction of a building, we may want to clarify that these conditions are required to be met for issuance of a zoning clearance for this use to begin. I have reviewed this special use permit and have the follow comments: Maximum sound levels — The County Engineer will provide comments on the sound study that has been submitted. A minor note is that the ordinance requires the measurement to be taken at the property line, not 15 feet inside the property. Conditions of approval to address sound generation can include: a) prohibiting opening any windows adjacent to the residentially -zoned property (this could include sealing those windows); b) prohibiting any commercial boarding or grooming in this building; and c) potentially limiting the approval to an emergency vet. This last item © would come into play if the maximum sound levels can not be met; The fencing that is proposed adjacent to the residential property should be constructed of wood or other sound - absorbing material. 2. Buffer adjacent to residential zoning We should establish the specific proposal for the buffer (fence and which landscaping). This should become a condition of approval. 3. Miscellaneous comments: a. Please have the applicant explain what a "lowland" fence is; b. Another relevant condition may be to limit the outdoor dog walk area to the area and location shown on the plan; c. Another condition of approval should be the connection to public sewer; d. Another condition of approval should be the requirement of a animal solid waste disposal plan. This is not typical for this use; however, the close proximity of the residential property warrants it.
