RE: SP-2003-00053 Unity Church of Charlottesville (Sign #48); Tax Map 61, Parcels 4 & 4B
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lansky:
On October 13, 2004, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP 2003-00053 to
amend SUP to allow a church (increasing from 200 to 250 seats), in accordance with Section 10.2.2.35 of
the Zoning Ordinance on Tax Map 61 in the Jack Jouett Magisterial district. This special use permit was
approved by a vote of 5:0 subject to the eight conditions recommended by the Planning Commission:
1. The church sanctuary shall not exceed two hundred fifty (250) seats;
2. Construction of the two hundred fifty (250)-seat sanctuary shall commence within thirty (30) months of
the approval of this permit or it shall be deemed abandoned and the authority granted by this permit
shall thereupon terminate;
3. The site shall be developed in general accord with the conceptual plan titled "Unity Church", revision 4
("6/28/04 Comments"), prepared by Muncaster Engineering. Adjustments to the number of parking
spaces approved by the Zoning Administrator, and a rearrangement of the parking spaces to the
satisfaction of the Architectural Review Board, shall be deemed to be in general accord with the
conceptual plan. Any expansion of, or addition to, the uses, activities or structures must be
determined by the Zoning Administrator to be in general accord with the conceptual plan, the staff
report, and the Architectural Review Board action of August 2, 2004;
4. The applicants shall relocate the twenty-two (22)-space parking lot shown north of the driveway nearer
to the traffic circle;
5. The applicants shall provide plantings to the satisfaction of the Architectural Review Board;
6. Location of water meters and water lines on the site shall be adjusted to the satisfaction of the
Albemarle County Service Authority;
7. The property may not be further divided; and
8. There shall be no more than one (1) residential dwelling on this property.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on the
project noted above, no uses on the property may lawfully begin until all applicable approvals
have been received and conditions have been met. This includes:
. compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL PERMIT;
. approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN; and
----.
. approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not commenced
within twenty-four (24) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed abandoned and the
permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any structure necessary to the use of
the permit."
If you have questions or comments regarding the above-noted action, please do not hesitate to contact
Keith Lancaster at 296-5832.
Sincerely,
'"
