From: Christopher P. Perez- Senior Planner
Division: Zoning & Current Development .
Date: July 25, 2013
Subject: SDP201200049 Church of Our Saviour - Preliminary Site Plan
The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County
Department Community Development will recommend approve the.plan referred to above when
the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that
have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated
based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the
Albemarle County Code.]
ZoninLy and Parcel Boundaries
1. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2(a)] On site plan the shared parcel boundary of TMP 61-
144 and TMP 61 -146D does not appear to match County records, rather it appears to
mimic the new ,split zoning line which took place with the recent rezoning
ZMA201200006. When revised, assure that the true parcel boundary line and the
zoning of the parcels are clearly distinguishable.
On sheet 1 under Site Data assure the zoning of TMP 61 -144 makes note of the split
zoning of the parcel which was a result of the recent rezoning (ZMA201200006),
notably 0.487 acres of the parcel is zoned C -1, the rest is zoned R -2.
Also for TMP 61 -144 there is an approved Special Use Permit w/ condition (SP2000-
60), assure this information is listed on sheet 1 under Site Data for the lot's zoning.
2. If the shared parcel boundary of TMP 61 -144 and TMP 61 -146D as shown on the
plan is to be proposed, a Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) plat shall be submitted
for review and approval prior to final site plan approval. Please advise.
Access
3. [14- 302(A)4 x,14 -317] The plan depicts proposed access modifications which will
take place on TMP 61 -146 Vanderline Housing Inc. and TMP 61 -146A William/
Anne Debutts, TMP 61 -145 Church of our Saviour and TMP 61 -1456D Trustees of
Church of Our Saviour. On sheet 1, under Site Data these parcels, their Zoning and
property owners information shall be added to the site plan.
Also, prior to final site plan approval please provide signed off site agreements for
temporary grading and construction easements from all affected property owners.
Also, the proposed widening of the right -of -way easement from 20' to 24' and the
extension of the easement will require an easement plat to be formally submitted for
review under Chapter 14 -208.2 of the subdivision ordinance and approval by the
County prior to final site plan approval. All parties affected by this easement
modification must sign the plat. With this modification to the easement a maintenance
agreement shall also be developed by the applicants and,reviewed /approved by the
County Attorney prior to approval of the final site plan. All parties affected by this
easement modification must sign the maintenance agreement. It is highly advisable
that the applicant hold off on obtaining signatures on the above items until staff has
indicated the draft submittals are approvable.
Waiver to Disturb 20' Buffer
4. [Chapter 18 Section 21.7(c)] &-33.5)] As proposed the 20' buffer zone adjacent to
residential. districts is being disturbed w/ grading, retaining walls, additional parking
and a paved access way. The above section of the ordinance states: No construction
activity including grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than twenty
(20) feet to any residential district. Screening shall be provided as required in section
32.7.9. A "waiver" processed as a Special Exception by the .Board of Supervisors is
required to move forward with the current proposal. Please request the waiver or
revise the proposal.
Staff shall hold the critical slopes waiver till the waiver request is received as it is
County policy all required waivers go to the Board of Supervisors at the same time.
[Chapter 18 Section 21.7(c)] On the plan assure the required 20' buffer. to
residentially zoned property is depicted and labeled.
Critical Slopes Waiver
6. [Chapter 18 Section 4.2.5(b), 4.2.6a 32.6(d)] Critical slope waiver is being
processed.
Parking
7. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2(b), 4.12.61 On the plan provide the parking
schedule /calculations for the proposed building (Proposed Annex/ Youth Center) on
TMP 61 -146D, to include the amount required and the amount provided. This
requirement is based on the County's need to assure that each use on separate tax map
parcels has the required parking it needs if the lots were ever in separate ownership.
The parking calculation should be based on the uses in the building. If multiple uses
are proposed, then break down each use. Below I have provided a hypothetical
example:
A) Office Space in the building = 2,450 SF of the structure
[Section 4.12.6] Offices, business, administrative and professional (including
medical offices but not dental clinics): One (1) space per two hundred (200)
square feet of net office floor area. The term "net office floor area" shall be
deemed to be: (1) eighty (80) percent of the gross floor area; or (2) at the request
by the applicant, delineating the actual net office floor area, which plans shall be
binding as to the maximum net floor area used.
Parking required for the Office Space = 13 spaces
B) Gymnasium/ recreation space = 6,000 SF of the structure
[Section 4.12.6] Recreation, commercial and residential: (one (1) space per. one
hundred twenty -five (125) square feet of useable recreation area.)
Parking required for the Recreation spaces = 48 spaces
Total spaces required 61 spaces..
On the plan account for the required and provided spaces and where the spaces are to
be located. If they are to be offsite, on the church lot (TMP 61 -144), then a parking
agreement between the two lots shall be provided and an explanation as to how the
two uses would overlap to accommodate the parking agreement. If the spaces are to
be on site in the existing gravel parking areas, depict the dimensions of these areas on
the plan and the number of theoretical spaces that could be located in each area.
Revise.
8. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2 (i)] On the plan label the. access road, Rio School Lane.
9. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2(n)] How will waste /trash from the facility's daily use be
disposed? Is there to be a dumpster onsite? If so, on the plan depict where the
dumpster pad will go and how it will be screened. Also, for the dumpster pad assure it
extends a minimum of 8' beyond the front of the dumpster. [18- 4.12.19]
10. [Comment] Assure the proposed buildings' square footage is consistent throughout
the plan. Currently sheet 3 lists it as 5,802 SF and sheet 1 under building square
footage lists it as 5,900 SF. Revise.
11. [32.5.2 (1)] The plan depicts a gas meter being relocated, as such City Gas shall sign
off on the relocation prior to the final site plan being approved.
12. [Comment] On sheet 1, under Land Use Breakdown, the plan makes note of "Open
Space = 157,446 SF for 59% of the property ". To avoid confusion discontinue the
use of the term "Open Space" as this area does not qualify as true "Open Space" per
Section 4.7 of the ordinance.
13. [Comment] With regard to proposed entrance closings of the various existing
entrances to TMP 61 -146A and 145 as commented on by VDOT. This site plan
should be revised to show all of these entrance closings.
14. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.21 Please be advised that the following will be required for
final site plan approval:
Outdoor lighting information including a photometric plan and location,
description, and photograph or diagram of each type of outdoor luminaire [Sec.
32.7.8 & Sec. 4.17]
- A landscape plan in accordance with [Sec. 32.7.9].
Engineering Comments — Max Greene
1. One parking space does not appear to be the minimum 9' width.
2. Final site plan will address all requirements of 18 -32.6 County Code.
3. VDOT approval required for final site plan approval.
ARB Comments — Margaret Maliszewski
1. The new two -story building is expected to have some visibility from the Entrance
Corridor, particularly during the winter months. It appears that the proposal will qualify
for a "Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a structure located behind a
structure that fronts the Entrance Corridor ". Approval of that application will be required
prior to final site plan approval. ARB applications, checklists and guidelines are
available on line at www.albemarle.org /arb.
Fire and Rescue Comments - Robbie Gilmer
1. Verify Fire Flow requirements of 1000 gpm.
2. Add a hydrant to maintain the required 400 ft spacing for commercial buildings.
Preferred location would be located on the backside of the parking lot between the.
existing Church and the new building.

Re: SDP - 2012 -049 Church of Our Savior
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the site plan entitled Church of Our Savior New E.Y.C. Building dated 6/3/13
as submitted by Water Street Studio, LLC and offer the following comments:
1. As part of the construction of the new commercial entrance onto Route 631, Rio Road,
the entrances for the loop in front of the church's thrift store and all entrances of the real
estate office directly onto Rio Road must be physically closed. VDOT standard CG -6
needs to be replaced at each of these entrances to close them.
2. The western most entrance to the real estate office off of the new shared access needs to
meet the minimum throat length per Appendix F of the Road Design Manual. For one
egress lane, the minimum throat length should be 35 feet.
3. The entrance width should be a minimum of 30 feet as shown on Figure 4 -10 in
Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
4. It appears that an access management spacing exception will be necessary for the new
entrance due to the spacing between the signalized entrance of the gas station. to the south
and the proposed entrance shown in this site plan. I can support this exception on the
basis that as part of the construction of the new entrance, three other existing entrances
will be removed.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
s
