The undeveloped property to the south is under review as a (mostly) residential development. Provision of an asphalt path from the Elks Lodge site to the adjoining property is recommended to allow for future residents to conveniently access the Farmers Market without the need to drive. With provision of a path, staff believes that the principles of pedestrian orientation and interconnectivity will be provided. Staff Comment: 31.6.1: Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the board of supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, The current fraternal use includes outdoor activities and the special use permit for the lodge provides protections to the surrounding residential properties. Because of the limited activities of the proposed Farmers Market operating outside of the primary operating hours of the lodge, no detriment is expected to adjacent properties, nor will a change occur in the character of the district. and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, The R1 zoning district allows this use by special use permit if it is viewed as an appropriate use for the location. No adverse impacts are expected. Staff believes that the Farmers Market in conjunction with the Elks Lodge is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. with the uses permitted by right in the district, The R1 Zoning District exists to provide for an area of low- density residential development as well as to provide for institutional and support uses by special use. A Farmers Market is viewed as supportive to the nearby neighborhoods by providing residents the opportunity to purchase fresh, locally grown produce. with additional regulations provided in section 5, Section 5.1.47 Farm Stands, Farm Sales, and Farmers Markets describes the requirements for Farmers Markets. How this proposal meets those requirements is described below: 1. Zoning Clearance — The Zoning Administrator will require a zoning clearance prior to the Farmers Market use begins. 2. A Letter from VDOT establishing it has approved the entrance from the public street to the proposed use — VDOT comments are provided as Attachment D. 3. Temporary or Permanent Structures must comply with applicable yard requirements -- The applicant is not proposing to use any structures for the farmers' market. It is intended that vendors will provide their own tents and tables or otherwise sell out of their trucks. In. addition, the area in which the Farmers Market is proposed meets all current yard requirements. SP 2011 -00006 PC April 19, 2011 Page 4 4. Number of Parking Spaces must meet standard of 1 space per 200 square feet of retail area — The applicant is providing a sufficient number of parking spaces for the use in the existing parking lot. 5. Parking location must be no located closer than 10 feet to the public right -of -way — This requirement is met. 6. Design and improvements — The parking design has been provided by the applicant and is judged to provide safe ingress and egress to and from the site, safe vehicular and pedestrian circulation on the site. and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The Zoning Administrator, the County Engineer, a representative of Fire /Rescue, VDOT staff, Architectural Review Board staff, and Current Development staff have reviewed this proposal, have indicated no objection to the proposed farmers' market use, and have made no recommendations for additional improvements to address health and safety considerations. In addition, the hours of operation have purposely been set as to not interfere with other activities of the lodge. Summary: Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request: 1. The Farmers Market would promote and preserve agricultural businesses in the County. 2. No new parking is required because the Farmers Market makes use of a parking lot which is typically underutilized during the proposed time period. 3. Nearby and neighboring residential neighborhoods will have easy access to fresh local produce and products. Staff has identified no factors that are unfavorable to this request. Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following conditions: 1. Development and use shall be in general accord with the conceptual plan on Page 3 of the Plan entitled "Special Use Permit Elks Lodge" prepared by the applicant and dated 2 -18 -11 (hereafter "Conceptual Plan "), as determined by the Director of Planning and the Zoning Administrator. . 2. The use shall operate during the months of April through December of each year. 3. The hours of operation for sales at the Farmers Market shall not begin earlier than 3:00 P.M. and shall end not later than 7:00 P.M. on Tuesdays, and not begin earlier than 8:00 a.m. and shall not end later than 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
