Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals:
The items that follow are for the boards use in reviewing the attached application for
special use permit.
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
Hillsdale drive is designated by TJPDC as a "parallel" road to US29 and is becoming
subjected to increasing volumes of traffic, as congestion on US 29 increases. An
"adjacent" property to Church of the Incarnation, is Fashion Square Mall that has a single
entrance/exit on Hillsdale Drive, very close to the Church of the Incarnation's northern
entrance. Traffic attempting to enter/exit from the Mall, from Hillsdale Drive, already
poses a traffic hazard. At 12 noon on Sunday, the Mall opens its doors to the buying
public, at exactly the same time as parishioners attending the 11 am Mass are attempting
to leave Church of the Incarnation, just a short distance away, creating a major
interruption of the traffic flow on Hillsdale Drive. Encouraging Church of the
Incarnation visitors to enter and exit the property from the southern entrance (some
distance from the Mall entrance) will provide a huge benefit to Fashion Square Mall.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district(s) surrounding
the property?
The proposed special use should serve only to enhance the character of the surrounding
district. The sign is tastefully designed and compliments the architecture of both the
church and other nearby buildings.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
Section 20.1 of the Albemarle County Code states that, "PUD districts are intended to
serve as neighborhoods or mini -neighborhoods within designated communities and the
urban area. Additionally, PUD districts may be appropriate where the establishment of a
2165 SEMINOLE TRAIL CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA 22901
PH 434.974.7900 / 800.482.6603 WWW.HTSVA.COM FAX 434.974.6898
"new village" or the nucleus of a future community exists and where the PUD
development would not preclude achievement of the county's objectives for the urban
area, communities and villages."
Church of the Incarnation states that their function in the community is to, "provide
spiritual, emotional, and financial support for those in need within the parish and in the
broader community... The Church of the Incarnation will be a parish community that is
inclusive, welcoming, and hospitable; characterized by, but not limited to, diversity of
culture, ethnicity, and generation." (www.incamationparish.org). The proposed special
use would alert members of the community traveling north on Hillsdale Drive of the
church's location.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district?
The specific use of the property as a church is allowed by Section 20.3.2.6.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply
to this use?
Section 20.3.1 #5 "Parks, playgrounds, community centers and noncommercial
recreational and cultural facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, game rooms,
libraries and the like."
Section 20.3.2 #1 "Day care, child care or nursery facility (reference 5.1.06)."
Section 20.3.2. #6 "Churches. (Added 9-2-81)."
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the
community?
As stated above, we believe that the proposed special use will alert members of the
community, traveling north on Hillsdale Drive, to the church's location. Attached are
pictures illustrating the topography of the two parcels in question. You will notice a
gradual bend in the road beginning at the southern entrance of the Church of the
Incarnation. It is our position that this bend prevents travelers from seeing the northern
entrance to the church and therefore poses a potential traffic hazard. By the time the sign
at the northern entrance becomes visible to commuters traveling north (75' from
entrance), they will not have adequate time to decelerate and navigate the turn. The
VDOT driver's manual suggests that motorists should indicate when they are preparing to
turn, 200' before the turn.
Also, Church of the Incarnation is a busy parish with a very large congregation of well
over 1,000 families. There are three Sunday Masses and having that number of
congregants trying to enter and exit the property at one intersection at Hillsdale drive
causes a huge bottleneck. It is vital to public safety that as many people as possible are
made aware of the second entrance (and exit).
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such as the
number of the persons involved in the use, operating hours, and any unique features
of the use:
Church of the Incarnation would like to request that the Board of Zoning Appeals
consider an application allowing them to install an 11 square foot sign, mounted between
two 4" x 4" post, on to parcel 061Z0-03-00-00900.
The church is open from 8:30am — 2:00pm on Mondays, 8:30am — 4:30pm Tuesday —
Friday and during Mass on weekends.
