Main Street, Suite 400 Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: SP2014 -00010 — Branchlands Assisted Living Facility Dear Valerie: Staff has reviewed your initial submittal request for an assisted living facility. We have a few questions and comments which are listed below: Planning 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 land use designation for this property is Urban Density Residential in DA Neighborhood 2 — Places 29. Uses allowed in this designation include residential areas with densities of (6.01— 34 units /acre). Primary uses in areas with this designation are intended for multifamily and single - family residential, including two or more housing types. Secondary uses for areas with this designation are retail, commercial, and office uses that support the neighborhood, live /work units, open space, and institutional uses. The proposed assisted living use is similar in type and scale to the designated uses and to other such established uses in the immediate area. Neighborhood Model: The following describes how the proposed development meets or does not meet the principles of the Neighborhood Model: Pedestrian Orientation — Sidewalks are shown on the plan surroundingthe proposed building. This principle is addressed. Page I of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths —The proposed building will front onto the existing Branchlands Drive. Sidewalks are located throughout the site. A parking and loading area are shown at the rear of the building and accessed by Incarnation Drive. Parking is also currently located throughout the Branchlands development. There is existing landscape in the Branchlands development. Landscaping of the proposed site is not described on the plan. This principle is partially addressed. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks —This property is located on Branchlands Drive and is also accessible from Incarnation Drive. Transit service is available on nearby Hillsdale Drive. This principle is addressed. Parks and Open Space — Please clarify if this proposal meets a portion or the required 25% for open space? If yes, please show it. It is unclear if this principle is met. Neighborhood Centers —This facility will be located in the Branchland community where meeting rooms are located. There are also many neighborhood centers located in the nearby vicinity, such as the Senior Center, JABA, and the Church of the Incarnation. This principle is met. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale —The proposed 77,500 square foot building will include a lower level plus four stories. The proposed building will be 1 story taller than the existing adjacent 3 story building. Most buildings in the area range between 2 and 3 stories in height. However one of the Branchland apartment buildings, which is accessed off of Incarnation Drive, is four stories in height. Given the scale of the existing buildings and topography of the area, it does not appear that the proposed four story building will be out of scale with the existing buildings in the area. This principle is met. Relegated Parking —The parking shown on the plan is located at grade in two locations. One location is on an angle near the front of the building and accessed from Branchlands Drive. The other location is at the rear of the building and accessed by Incarnation Drive. The parking area near the front of the building is not relegated, but the rear parking is. This principle is partially addressed. 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 a major issue. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability— Although this is not applicable, given the type of facility proposed, this facility located within the Branchlands community adds another type of housing option in this area. Redevelopment This is not applicable. Site Planning That Respects Terrain — Managed slopes are located in the south east portion of the site. Managed slopes may be developed if Design Standards are adhered to. Minimal disturbance to the terrain is suggested. Page 2 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas — Not Applicable. More detailed comments may be provided-after more detailed plans are provided. Zoning The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Ron Higgins: + This proposal is consistent with the overall plan for the Branchlands Planned Unit Development (PUD). • The Parking Analysis of March 4, 2014 by Timmons Group is acceptable. Frequent visits to the site at different hours of the day and evening have resulted in similar amounts of occupied spaces (e. g. < 50 %). Parking proposed of 86 spaces is acceptable. Engineering and Water Resources The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn Brooks: • This development may have trouble obtaining an adequate release channel for drainage through the day care property. Easements should be obtained, and plans for on -site detention should be provided. These items should be investigated with the concept plan. The current plan does not appear to have way to capture runoff from the building. It is noted that the channel along Hillsdale Drive has had flooding and clogging problems. It is not clear whether this parcel was considered part of an overall development in Branchlands with earlier conceptual plans and zoning changes. VDOT Comments from VDOT are attached. ASCA /RWSA The following comments related to water and sewer authority issues have been provided by Victoria Fort: • Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal. None Known • Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Capacity Certification Yes X No • Water flow or pressure issues that may affect this proposal None Known ,• "Red Flags" regarding service provision (Use attachments if necessary) None Known Comments from ACSA will be provided upon receipt. Fire /Rescue The following comment related to fire- rescue issues have been provided by Robbie Gilmer: -• Need to provide ample space for emergency vehicles to turnaround without creating problems in traffic on Branchlands Drive or have the ability to drive thru. SP Conditions The following SP Conditions were approved with SP 96 -22: 1. Development limited to 90 units containing not more than 120 beds; 2. Prior to occupancy, the applicant shall present to the Zoning Administrator proof of licensure by the VA. Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Social Services; Page 3 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke 3. This use shall be operated only under licensure of the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Social Services. At this point in the review process, we anticipate recommended conditions of approval for the Special Use Permit will relate to the concept plan, and an update of the previous. conditions. Additional information will be forthcoming regarding SP conditions.

Virginia 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 a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. 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.
