RE: Winter Haven Assisted Living Facility
220 Pantops Drive
Tax Map 78, Parcel 20N
Dear Weltra Charlottesville Real Estate, LLC:
Mr. Robert J. Kroner, an attorney representing Winter Haven Limited Partnership, has asked for
assurance that the Winter Haven assisted living facility is in compliance with the zoning
regulations of Albemarle County. This letter is based on a review of our records and an
inspection of the site.
1. The property is zoned R-15, Residential. Rest home, nursing home, convalescent home,
orphanage or similar institution is a use permitted by special permit in this district. These
institutions are subject to the supplemental regulations found in Section 5.1.13. A copy of
those regulations is enclosed.
2. On June 17, 1992 the Board of Supervisors approved SP -92-25 with conditions for an
assisted living facility on this property. The conditions included a requirement that the facility
be limited to 80 beds. A copy of the action letter is enclosed.
3. The current, revised site plan for this property was approved on May 4, 1994.
4. A zoning clearance was approved for the assisted care residence, subject to the special permit
and the site plan, on July 2, 1993.
5. The site was inspected on December 23, 2010. No zoning or site plan violations were found.
6. A recent survey of the property reveals building corners that are 14.90 feet and 14.86 feet
from the side property line. While the minimum setback for side yards in R-15 zoning is 15
feet, these are off by less than 1 foot and considered to be De minimis. The county does not
pursue such minor discrepencies.
