TAX MAP /PARCEL: 76/51
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Scottsville
Character of the Area and Adjoining properties:
The subject property lies at 665 Old Lynchburg Road (Route 631), at the intersection of Old Lynchburg
Road and Sunset Avenue Extended. See Attachment A for the Tax Map and Attachment B for the
Location Map. The area consists of residential units, the Berean Baptist Church, located across the
street, and Southwood Mobile Home Park, located adjacent to the site.
Specifics of Proposal:
The applicant is requesting the re- approval of an expired Special Use Permit — SP2004 -002, which was
approved May 4, 2005 to allow a Church in a residential district. Section 31.2.4.4 of the Zoning
Ordinance states "If the use, structure or activity for which a special use permit is issued is not
commenced within twenty -four (24) months after the permit is issued, the permit shall be deemed
abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall thereupon terminate." The special use permit
expired on May 4, 2007. The applicant has been currently working on a site plan request - SDP 2006-
002.
The site plan under review was suspended on September 29, 2008 because of the expiration of the
special use permit. (See Attachment C for the concept plan) There is one change the applicant is
requesting with this application. The applicant is no longer going to provide an apartment in the facility
as originally requested because they no longer have a need to house visitors. The applicant also has
expressed concerns regarding meeting the timeline for completion as it relates to funding the building
renovation. The church is requesting to increase the time allowed for the special use permit request to
4 years instead of the 2 year limit associated with special use permit requests. Attached recommended
special use permit conditions have been updated and revised to reflect these changes.
The applicant has submitted a revised concept plan. Staff has reviewed this plan and notes there are
no significant changes.
Applicant's Justification for the Request:
The applicant wants to complete the site development process because the church would like to
provide a larger space of worship and education for four congregations. The Comprehensive Plan
designates this area as Neighborhood Density Residential and the guidelines associated with the
Neighborhood Residential designation allow this form of development.
z Charlottesville Kingdom Hall
PC Public Hearing 2/3/09
Planning and Zoning History:
The church was built on the site in 1981, and SP 2004 -002 was approved on May 4, 2005 to allow an
expansion of the church facility. SDP2006 -002 was suspended on September 29, 2008 because the
approved Special Use Permit had expired.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Land Use Plan designates this area as Neighborhood Density Residential in Neighborhood Five
(5). The Comprehensive Plan supports institutional uses, such as churches in Neighborhood Density
Residential. As previously stated in this staff report, the site will not be used for residential purposes.
A full Neighborhood Model Analysis was completed with the approved SP2004 -002 and is applicable
for this re- approval request. (See Attachment D for Neighborhood Model Analysis)
Staff Comment:
Staff addressed each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance with the approved SP2004-
002. This information remains unchanged. (See Attachment D)
Summary:
The purpose of this request is to renew Special Use Permit — SP2004 -002, which has expired and is
currently in the site development process. The applicant wishes to complete the site plan process.
The primary changes to this request is that the applicant does not plan on adding an apartment to the
church facility and the applicant has requested an additional four (4) year timeframe to begin
construction.
Staff finds the following factors favorable to this request:
1. The special use permit provides an institutional use, which is supported by the
Comprehensive Plan on Neighborhood Density Residential.
2. The site design is appropriate given the topography.
3. Accommodation is made for a possible future road, which could connect to the adjacent
property (Southwood Mobile Home Park).
4. The factors supporting approval of the original special use permit have not changed.
5. No ordinance changes have taken place which would affect development of the site.
Staff finds the following factor unfavorable to this request:
1. The site will not currently be served with public sewer; however, recommended
conditions would require hook -up when sewer is available nearby.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends re- approval of SP 2008 -057, Charlottesville Kingdom Hall with the following
revisions to the originally approved conditions:
1. The development of the site shall be in general accord with the concept plan entitled
PFapesed Addition Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses

SP 2004 -0002 Charlottesville Kingdom Hall
CLAUDETTE GRANT
MARCH 15, 2005
MAY 4, 2005
Applicant's Proposal: Charlottesville Kingdom Hall is requesting a special use permit application to allow
a Church with one apartment in accordance with Sections 14.2.2.12 and 15.2.2.12 of the Zoning Ordinance
which allow for Churches on property it owns at 665 Old Lynchburg Road. (See Attachment A) The current
plan is to replace the existing building, which serves 3 congregations with Halls that will serve 4
congregations. The current number of total users for this facility is 340. In order to accommodate these users
there are multiple services. The seating capacity is approximately 210. The applicant projects 420 users by
2008. The church is currently nonconforming in that it has no special use permit.
Petition: The applicant requests a special use permit for Tax Map 76 Parcels 51 and 52A3 to allow a
church use on the properties. (See Attachment B) This special use permit would be in accordance with
Section 31.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow churches in an R2 and R4 residential zoning district. This
property is also located in an Entrance Corridor. The total lot area is 3.685 acres and the property is located
in the Scottsville Magisterial District at 665 Old Lynchburg Road (Route 63 1) at the intersection of Old
Lynchburg Road and Sunset Avenue Extended. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Neighborhood Density in Neighborhood 5.
Character of the Area: The area surrounding the church is made up of primarily single family residences.
The site is adjacent to a mobile home park and a church is located across the street.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the proposal for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and
the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval of the special use permit with conditions.
Planning and Zoning History: The parcel has no planning or zoning history. The church was built on the
site in 1981.
Comprehensive Plan and The NeiLhborhood Model: Requests for special use permits in the
Development Areas are assessed for conformity with the Neighborhood Model and the Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Plan shows this area as Neighborhood Density, which should:
• Have a gross density of between 3 to 6 dwellings per acre.
• Be located within the Urban Area, Communities and Villages.
Attachment D I
• Accommodate all dwelling unit types as well as institutional uses such as places of worship, public and
private schools, and early childhood education centers including day care centers and preschools.
• Accommodate small areas of non - residential land uses on the scale of Neighborhood Service, to serve
residential uses.
• Have any new development within an existing subdivision be in keeping with the character and density of
the existing development. New developments adjacent to existing subdivisions or developments shall be
developed at higher densities and a form in keeping with the Neighborhood Model to support infill
development efforts.
The density of the proposed project is less than the intended density noted in the Neighborhood Density
classification. The addition of an institutional use, such as a place of worship is in keeping with the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Open Space Plan does not show any significant environmental features on this property.
The ways in which the proposed project meets the twelve principles for development in accordance with the
Neighborhood Model are provided below:
Pedestrian
Sidewalks are provided throughout the development, around the
Orientation
building and parking area. As noted on the concept plan, there will be
an area graded 5 feet in width for sidewalk on Old Lynchburg Road
adjacent to the site. Sufficient pedestrian access is provided.
Neighborhood
This is not applicable, given the type of development this is.
Friendly Streets
and Paths
Interconnected
Staff requested the applicant provide a reservation of right of way to
Streets and
allow for a possible future road, which could connect to the adjacent
Transportation
property (Southwood Mobile Home Park). This would allow for
Networks
future interconnection of roads /development to the existing
intersection of Old Lynchburg and Sunset Roads A similar
interconnected road concept is identified in the "Southern Urban Area
B Study ", which has been approved by the Planning and Coordination
Council (PACC), and is pending review and approval by the County.
The applicant is agreeable and has shown this on the concept plan.
Parks and Open
This principle is not applicable.
Space

close proximity to residences and can act as a neighborhood center
for these residences.

Scale
Relegated Parking
Given the topography of the site, existing development, setbacks, and
possible future road connection, as noted above in the section on
interconnected streets, the applicant has indicated on the concept plan
relegated parking.
The grading changes on the site made relegating the parking difficult.
Landscape treatment recommendations by the ARB will assist in
making the parking solution acceptable.

A mix of residential and institutional uses is in close proximity to the
church.

Site Planning that
The applicant has designed the proposed building to work with the

slopes of the site, so that the building elevations are designed with the
lay of the land. Near the rear of the proposed building, the land slopes
down toward the property line and there is a somewhat steep gulley
located there. The applicant has not indicated any development in this
area of the site. This principle is met.
Clear Boundaries
Given the location of this site, this principle is not applicable.
with the Rural
Areas
Engineering Analysis: The County's Engineering staff has reviewed this request for engineering issues
related to health, safety, and welfare requirements. The plan appears satisfactory as a concept plan.
Zoning Considerations: The Zoning staff has reviewed this request and finds it acceptable.
Any Other Agencies that have important comments:
• VDOT will need to review the entrance profile and drainage computation when the site plans are
submitted.
• The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board met on February 7, 2005 regarding the Special Use
Permit and Concept Plan. (See Attachment C) The Board voted 4:0 in favor of sending the following
recommendations to the Planning Commission regarding the Special Use Permit:
The ARB has no objection to the proposed use, based on the ARB Re- submission plan with revision

I
date of December 28, 2004, with the following conditions:
1. Landscaping shall be provided to minimize the impact of parking areas on the EC, to the
satisfaction of the ARB.
2. Site and building lighting shall be limited to the satisfaction of the ARB.
STAFF COMMENT:
Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance below requires that special use permits be assessed as follows:
Will the use be of substantial detriment to adjacent property?
This site will be redeveloped as the expansion of an existing church. It is located on the edge of a
neighborhood, which has a similar use located across the street. The increased number of users and vehicles
support the use of the site. It is not anticipated that this use will be of substantial detriment to adjacent
property with traffic or noise anymore than it currently is.
Will the character of the zoning district change with this use?
The proposed church revision is not expected to change the R -2 and R -4 zoning district or the character of
the area.
Will the use be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance?
The R -2 and R -4 zoning district are intended for residential uses but allows for churches by special use
permit if sited appropriately. The church is viewed as a use supportive to Albemarle County residents in all
residential zones.
Will the use be in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district?
By -right uses in the R -2 district are single family and cluster development, electric, gas, oil and
communication facilities, accessory uses and buildings including home occupations and storage buildings,
temporary construction uses, public uses and buildings, tourist lodgings, homes for developmentally
disabled persons, stormwater management facilities and Tier I and Tier II personal wireless service facilities.
By -right uses in the R -4 district are the same as previously mentioned for R -2 including, duplex housing,
townhouses, attached houses and quadruplexes. When sited appropriately, churches are viewed as "in
harmony" with the permitted uses of this district. Staff believes the church use is sited appropriately.
Will the use comply with the additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance?
There are no additional regulations relating to churches.
Will the public health safety and general welfare of the community be protected if the use is approved?
The proposed church has the potential for approximately 120 vehicles coming in and out of the site. The
church is not in use all the time. There are a variety of services that meet at different times. Currently, the
4
NO
most vehicles present during any one service is 45 vehicles. The applicant anticipates an increase of
approximately 80 users and potentially 75 additional vehicles. However, it is not anticipated that the
increase will be detrimental to the community.
The proposed storm water pond shown located in the path of the Parkway is acceptable. Engineering staff
believe alternate locations for adequate stormwater are available on site after the Parkway is built. Sidewalks
are to be graded along Old Lynchburg Road, but not paved. Currently, there is a septic system located on
this site. The site is located in a development area and normally would be recommended for public water
and sewer connection. However, the closest public sewer and water is not adjacent to the site. It is located
across the street at the Mosby Mountain development. Connecting to the public water and sewer would not
be a straight connection. Not only would the connections be relatively expensive and somewhat cost
prohibitive for the applicant, but there are complications with fiber optic and other lines, which are located
under Old Lynchburg Road. There would be a need for pump systems to be put in place in order to assist
with the connections and it is anticipated that the applicant would need to bring connections down the street
in order to maneuver around the existing lines. The proposed development shows a septic expansion, which
is to be located under the new parking area. An official from the Virginia Department of Health is aware of
the septic system and its' location under the parking area and finds it acceptable.
There are a variety of complications involved with the redevelopment of this site. However, since the health
official finds the location of the septic system acceptable, and staff anticipates that eventually there will be
an opportunity for connection to public water and sewer in this location, the public health, safety, and
general welfare of the community is protected through the special use permit process which assures that uses
approved by special use permit are appropriate in the location requested.
The most recent plan submittal from the applicant included two apartments, instead of one, as originally
shown on the concept plan. It would take additional review time from staff to review the plan for the
additional unit, which could potentially change the parking requirement. Since time was of the essence to the
applicant, the applicant agreed that one apartment would be sufficient for this plan and request.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
1. The special use permit is in conformity with the land use plan for institutional uses.
2. The site design is appropriate given the topography.
3. Accommodation is made for a possible future road, which could connect to the adjacent property
(Southwood Mobile Home Park).
Staff has identified the following factor, which is unfavorable to this request:
1. The site will not currently be served with public sewer.
5
E`
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The staff recommends approval of this special use permit with the following conditions:
1. The development of the site shall be in general accord with the concept plan entitled Proposed
Addition Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses Charlottesville, Virginia prepared by Hardee
Johnston, A.I.A., A.S.L.A. and dated December 28, 2004.
2. The area of assembly shall be limited to a maximum of two auditoriums with 175 -seats in each.
3. Sidewalks are to be graded along Old Lynchburg Road (5th Street), but not paved, in the locations
shown on the concept plan.
4. The building shall not have more than one apartment.
5. There shall be no day care center or private school on site without approval of a separate special use
permit.

RE: SP- 2004 -002 Charlottesville Kingdom Hall — Tax Map 76, Parcels 51 & 52A3
Dear Mr. Johnston:
On May 4, 2005, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP- 2004 -002
Charlottesville Kingdom Hall to allow a church in accordance with Sections 14.2.2.12 and
15.2.2.12 of the Zoning Ordinance which allow for Churches, on Tax Map 76, Parcels 51 & 52A3
in the Scottsville Magisterial zoning district. This special use permit was approved based on the

Previous comments still apply. I can resend them if you wish. The plumbing fixture count that the applicant provided
indicates that a 1 '/2" meter is required. A new tap will have to be made on the RWSA transmission line. This
connection will require RWSA approval.

existing traffic on Hydraulic Road.
• The sight lines at the entrance need to be shown.
SP- 2008 -00057 Charlottesville Kingdom Hall (Claudette Grant)
