Box 11.13 'Troy, VA.22974 RE: ZMA201100006 and SP201100014 /Albemarle Health and Rehab Center Dear-Justin: Staff has reviewed your initial submittal to rezone 5.38 acres from Residential (R -1) to Planned. Development Mixed Commercial (PD -MC) zoning district, inclusive of a special use permit request -to allow a .120 -bed nursing home-facility to be built and operated on-the property. We have a number of questions and comments which we believe.should be resolved before your proposal goes-to public hearing. We would be glad to meet with you*to discuss-these issues. Our comments are provided below: Plannine Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates-to-the Comprehensive Plan are provided below. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report. 'The Comprehensive Plan designates-this property asTransiti.onal, which allows neighborhood - scale commercial uses, offices,"townhouses and apartments (6.01 -34 units /acre) and Urban Density Residential, which allows residential. (6.01 -34 units /acre); and supporting uses.such:as religious institutions,. schools, commercial, office, and.service uses. This property is--zoned R-1, which allows residential uses at a density of 1.unit per acre. Large -scale commercial uses; -and -residential by special use permit ata density of 15 units /acre are allowed in -the PD-:MC Planned Development Mixed Commercial:zoning district. A special use permit under '.Section:24:2.2(7) of:zoning.ordinance for hospitals, nursing homes, and convalescent homes uses is needed-for-the nursing home-facility. Page 1 of 6 The County's Open Space Plan does not describe any significant features on this site. Neighborhood Model The following describes how the proposed development meets or does not meet the principles of -the Neighborhood Model: Pedestrian Orientation -While there appears-to be proposed sidewalks-throughout the site, stairs are shown near-the east corner of the building. The stairs appear to be located within the sidewalk area. Please clarify how the stairs and sidewalk will work. Will-the entrance road from the -fire /rescue station to the site have sidewalks? It is not clear if-this principle is addressed. Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths -the street is not really a street, but a travelway and parking area. "This principle is not addressed. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks - This site has one access. It appears the existing access to the site will be closed off? Access easements will need to be provided from adjacent property owner with regards to the proposed road. This principle needs to be addressed. Parks and Open Space—This plan does not appear to show much open space. This principle needs to be addressed. Neighborhood Centers - Not applicable. There is a shopping center, several schools, and the fire /rescue station located in the vicinity with office /meeting. space. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale - It is not.clear whether-the proposed building and spaces are of human scale.-The building appears-to take up-the entire site. Relegated Parking - ='The parking as shown on the plan is not really relegated.The parking is located on-the periphery of -the building and as shown will be one of the-first things one sees when he /she enters the site. A redesign of-the.site and layout could improve this. 'Mixture of Uses -There are no mixture of uses within this property. However, with-the proximity of other commercial and residential uses in close proximity-to,this property, staff does not see-this as s-a major issue. Mixture of HousingTypes and Affordability -This is not applicable, given- the-type of facility proposed. Redevelopment— Not Applicable. Site Planning-That Respects Terrain - -A fair amount of grading is proposed to-the-adjacent parcels, not owned by-the applicant, in order to complete-the subject development. Retaining walls are also proposed on the site. The building footprint,takes up most of the property-Staff suggests minimizing the development on -the site in order to reduce the need for disturbances on adjacent properties. Minimal disturbance to the terrain is.suggested..Are-there ways to develop this site with better-.respectto the terrain? Page 2 of 6 Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas— Not Applicable. More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided. Plannine + Details regarding the road from the fire /rescue station to the direct entrance to the site need to be worked out with the County. Will there be a reservation for future dedication and built to.state.standards? If this is a private road a maintenance agreement will need-to be worked out. • Consider providing access"to at least another site. • Please see the JAUNT comment pertaining to proposed dimensions for the entrance to the building. Staff suggests you provide this detail on your plan and proffer the plan. • Please describe what is happening with-the :1.85 acres for future use. With all the necessary offsite disturbances, have you considered using the excess land that is not included with-this rezoning? :• You have mentioned that you met with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation and the project site is not visible from Monticello. Please provide something from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation confirming this. • What is the status of the outparcel? Has a plat been recorded? Zonin The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Francis MacCall: • The application speaks of a waiver for parking. Please provide justification in writing for this request. • Please specify the parking calculation to be used with this proposal so,that an accurate analysis can be made for the waiver request to allow more than .20% what is required. • . The applicable building and parking setbacks identified in -section .21 apply as do the buffer requirements. There did not appear to be a request for a waiver or modification for the reduction of the requirements per Section 8.2b. One will need to be submitted with written justification. (See below - Current Development comment-for additional detail) Current Development The-following comments regarding your proposal's ability to meet site plan or subdivision ordinance requirements in the future have been provided_by_Bill Fritz: • This project involves significant offsite grading. It makes use of adjacent property for storm water maintenance facilities and access. Insuring that these properties -may be used must be addressed prior-to action on -the -rezoning.ihese are-basic-feasibility issues. a• 'These types of uses often provide significantly more handicap.-parking-than-the minimum required. The.applicant- should insure-that-the.parking he provides will be adequate.This issue does not have'to be addressed with-the rezoning it can be addressed with the.site plan. ;• A.set of stairs is located near the east corner of the building (near-the-fire station). This -set of stairs effectively restricts a walking loop around-the buildingfor-those•that may have difficulty negotiating a set of stairs. Page 3 of 6 • The location of the retaining wall on the western boundary may be difficult or impossible -to construct without an easement from the owner of TMP 9.1 -1D. An easement on this property may require that property to be included in this rezoning and special use permit. • The regulations of Section .21 apply. This requires a building setback of 50 feet from the property line (a larger setback is.required if the building height exceeds 35-feet). Parking must be setback.20 feet from the property line of adjacent properties. The applicant should verify that these setbacks can be met. It appears,that the setback is not being met in several locations. • Section 21 also .requires that an undisturbed buffer of.20 feet is required adjacentto residentially zoned property. This buffer is not being maintained.-Therefore,-the applicant should apply for a waiver of the buffer.-The applicant should apply using the provisions of Section 21.7(c)(1) or (2) for guidance. Engineering and Water Resources The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn Brooks: • Off -site grading easements will be required for the retaining walls and grading on the property line of Dominion Crane and Rigging Inc. It is not possible -to construct on the property line without it. If this permission is not obtained, a 5' minimum distance needs to be provided for safety and erosion control measures. • Off -site grading easements will be required for the grading on the property of Albemarle County.Service Authority. It is not possible to construct the plan without it. If this permission is not obtained, the plan will need to be revised, or at least 10' minimum distance needs to be provided-for safety and erosion control diversions, in addition to room for a sediment trap on that side of the entrance road. • Off -site grading and access easements will be required for-the grading on-the property of Albemarle County. It is recommended that-the plan be revised-to dedicate the necessary right- of- way,.and to construct the ultimate road section in this location, from Mill Creek DriVeto the development entrance. This road section was shown on the Fire Station plans and prior county planning documents. • As in the case of the road design, the.sanitary sewer and water lines and easements.should also consider-the county's long range plans for the property. • It is-recommended that-the odd.shape of the outparcel be explained with-the rezoning. It will have-to be graded.for erosion control measures and staging areas to build this plan. JAUNT The-following comments related to:JAUNT have been. provided. by Peter Ohlms: • This area is in-the urban fare :zone-for JAUNT, where we provide trips primarily-for people. with disabilities. Charlottesville AreaTransit would be the main-transit option-for-the general public, but the closest current CAT stop is over a mile and a half away at PVCC. CAT has proposed expanding service to Mill Creek Drive in recent years but has not received -funding from the County-to do -so. Page 4 of 6 ,• The main entrance appears to be usable for JAUNT vehicles, although if other vehicles are stopped there,-the tight turns into and out of the zone may prohibit access. _See additional notes below, about main entrance. • : Based on existing facilities similar to the proposed use, JAUNT would expect to make -frequent trips to serve residents. JAUNT's preference is-to have a designated building entrance for JAUNT to use, with a covered (11 ft min vertical clearance), accessible bus loading area. This could be the main entrance as shown, but some similar facilities have chosen-to designate another entrance. If another entrance may be used (locations of other entrances were not clear), it should have the features listed above. J_ AUNT would be happy -to continue reviewing this element of the project as it progresses. • It might be appropriate fora proposal such as this to include stub -outs for future interparcel connections, especially to the west if property along Avon St. Ext. is redeveloped. More connectivity provides more options to route vehicles efficiently. -• Pedestrian connectivity: The private access road from Mill Creek Drive should leave accessible sidewalks to provide a connection to planned fixed- route-transit service. ACSA The following comment related to Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has been provided by Alexander Morrison: �• Low elevation difference between site and Avon Street tank will cause low water pressure around 35 psi. Review hydraulics. You will need a second fire hydrant. Look into bringing a .second connection from the elementary school line 23' from the development area and looping into first connection. 9 This proposal-will require approval from ACSA. It is possible that approval-may need to be provided by the ACSA board. Please keep this additional step in the process in mind as you pursue the SP and ZMA. Albemarle County Public Schools • Please see attached memo from-Joseph Letteri. Proffers e• The application says you are proffering the plan, but proffers have not been provided and should be considered. This letter includes suggestions-that would be appropriate for proffers.
