RE: SP201400014 Faith Temple Church Addition — Special Use Permit
1 st Review Comment Letter on Special Use Permit application received October 20, 2014.
Mr. Timmerman;
Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for a Special Use Permit to expand a church on TNT
09000 -00 -00 -03400 and TMP 09000- 00- 00- 033A0. Below staff has provided comments as to how
the proposal relates to the Comprehensive Plan and how it relates to the Neighborhood Model, which
is the building block for the Albemarle County Development Areas.
Comprehensive Plan — Staff notes the following items:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Neighborhood Density Residential in
Neighborhood Four. Residential (3 -6 units /acre); supporting uses such as religious institutions,
schools, and other small -scale non - residential uses. Thus your proposal is in general accord with the
Comp Plan.
Conformity with the Neighborhood Model — Staff notes the following items: .
Pedestrian Orientation — Staff recommends pedestrian interconnectivity on site from the parking
area to the church building. Crosswalk stripping through drive aisles may be sufficient to help guide
pedestrians safely through the parking lot to the building.
Neighborhood friendly streets and paths — The proposed sidewalks fronting Avon Street help
meet this principle. As proposed this principle is adequately addressed.
Interconnected streets and transportation networks - As proposed this principle is adequately
addressed.
Parks and Open Space — This principle is not applicable.
Neighborhood Centers — The church on the site acts as a neighborhood center. Because of the close
proximity of the church to residences, staff strongly recommends that pedestrian access be provided
to the church from Mill Creek. The proposed sidewalks fronting Avon Street help meet this
principle. As proposed this principle is adequately addressed.
Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale — As proposed this principle is adequately addressed.
Page 1 of 7
Relegated Parking — This property is located in the Entrance Corridor (EC), as such the ARB
screening requirements along Avon Street will adequately addresses this principle and help to screen
parking from the right of way.
Mixture of Uses - This principle is not applicable.
Mixture of housing types and affordability - This principle is not applicable.
Redevelopment — See attached ARB comments.
Site Planning that Respects Terrain — The proposed 6' tall screening fence near the proposed five
(5) parking spaces at the rear of the site does little to screen the parking based on the topography of
this area. Notably the spaces are at at 644' elevation and the fence appears to be at between 640' and
638' elevation a difference of between 4' and 6'. With this elevation difference a 6' tall fence does
little to nothing to screen the parking. Please address this issue on the concept plan.
Also, Engineering staff has raised concern over the discharge of the SWM facility. As currently
depicted the water will be discharged and flow downhill to Mr. McCullough's property (TNT
090C1- 01 -00- 05100), and then into Stony Creek drive. If this is to continue an offsight drainage
easement shall be required on his property and potentially an underground pipe under Stoney Creek
Drive. Please work with Engineering to remedy this issue prior to scheduling the PC public hearing.
End of Comprehensive Plan Comments
Below I have provided all of the comments which staff received from reviewers. Our comments are

Planning (Christopher P. Perez)
1. [18 -21.7] Commercial Setbacks. This is a Non - Residential /Commercial Use in the Residential (R -1)
zoning district, as such the Church requires a Special Use Permit. R -1 setbacks require structures to
be a minimum of 25' from the road, 15' from the sides and 20' from the rear. There are no parking
setbacks listed in the R -1 district as parking associated with a non residential/commercial use is not a
byright use in the district; rather, during the review of the Special Use Permit staff is required to look
at how the proposed use will affect the adjacent neighborhood and develop conditions of approval
which attempt to mitigate any adverse impacts.
Because the adjacent districts to the rear and the side are residential districts, staff believes it is
appropriate to condition the rear and side setbacks, and screening in accord with byright Commercial
Uses which are adjacent to residential districts pursuant to Section 21.7(b). By conditioning this
setback it'll provide an increase in the distance between the residences and parked cars and provide
20' setback staff also seeks to condition screening which shall meet the requirements of Section
32.7.9.7 to include either landscaping or a combination of 6' tall fence and landscaping. Please note,
Page 2 of 7
12 -5 -14
the side yard adjacent to (TMP 09000- 00- 00- 033B0) meets the above condition. Assure that the
concept plan makes note of the 20' setbackfor parking, rather than the 15' side setback.
Proposed Condition: Side and rear setbacks shall be commercial setback standards, as set forth in
Section 21.7(b) of the Albemarle Zoning Ordinance, and shall be maintained adjacent to residential
uses or residentially zoned properties. Also, screening within the 20' setback shall be provided
which meets the requirements of Section 32.7.9.7 to include either landscaping or a combination of
6' tall fence and landscaping.
Front yard setbacks associated with parking shall be commercial setback standards, as set forth in
Section 21.7(a) of the Albemarle Zoning Ordinance.
2. [Comment] When reworking the concept plan to address the above item please keep in mind
commercial parking is not permitted to be closer than 10' to any public right -of -way pursuant to 18- .
21.7(a).. Also, when reworking the concept plan assure that appropriate screening of the commercial
use to adjacent residential districts remains pursuant to 18- 32.7.9.7(a). For example in cases where
you omit parking adjacent to the residential district assure that at a minimum the required screening
is met to screen the commercial use (the 6' screening fence works great for this purpose). If you
have any questions about the screening please give me a call. Thanks.
[Comment] The proposed 6' tall screening fence and retaining wall located at the rear of the
property appear to be immediately adjacent to two neighboring property lines. Please either 1)
provide owner signed letters indicating that permission has been obtained from the adjoining owners
of TMP 090Cl- 01- 00 -OOOA1 (owner: Mill Creek HOA) and TMP 090C1 -01 -00 -05100 (owner:
Allerga McCullough) to provide access to the fence and retaining wall for construction and
maintenance purposes, or 2) redesign the fence and wall inside the property line to provide adequate
access for construction and maintenance on both sides.
4. [Comment] The proposed 6' tall screening fence near the proposed five (5) parking spaces at the
rear of the site does little to screen the parking based on the topography of this area. Notably the
spaces are at at 644' elevation and the fence appears to be at between 640' and 638' elevation a
difference of between 4' and 6'. With this elevation difference a 6' tall fence does little to nothing to
screen the parking. Please addrsss this issue on the concept plan.
5. [Comment] On sheet 1 and 2 of the concept plan clarify the adjacent property lines at the rear of the
property for TMP 090C1- 01- 00 -OOOA1 (owner:Mill Creek HOA) and TMP 090C1 -01 -00 -05100
(owner: Allerga McCullough). Currently it is unclear as to how far along the rear of the church
property the Mill Creek HOA property goes. Revise using more easily read lines (preferably darker
lines).
6. [Comment] On sheet 2 of the concept plan clarify the church property lines at the front of the
property. Also, please clarify the existing VDOT right -of -way and the existing edge of pavement.
Revise using more easily read lines (preferably darker lines) and notes.
7. [Comment] Prior to a resubmittal of the concept plan please work with VDOT to assure that the
current location of the sidewalks fronting Avon Street are permissible in the existing VDOT right -of-
way.
8. [Comment] In addition to the memorandum from Margaret Maliszewski, Archeitcetual Review
Board (ARB) Planner, street trees and shrubs along Avon Street are required for the development.
As currently proposed the street tree landscaping is within the VDOT right -of -way and is directly
above a 12" water line. ACSA will not allow trees to be planted over the waterline. Thus the street
look to the space behind the sidewalk to plant the required landscaping. The only forseeable issue
with this alternative location is the overhead power line. Please work to remedy these issue with
Page 3 of 7
12 -5 -14
Planning and ARB on the concept plan.
9. [Comment] The concept plan provides two "one way drive" notes along a 12' wide drive aisles at
the front of the property and along a 20' drive aisle at the rear. Revise the concept plan to provide
directional arrows throughout the site to clearly define /delineate the flow of traffic. During the site
plan stage these arrows shall also be provided and shall be. painted /installed on the pavement when
constructed.
10. [Comment] Engineering staff has raised concern over the discharge of the SWM facility. As
currently depicted the water will be discharged and flow downhill to Mr. McCullough's property
(TNT 090C1- 01 -00- 05100), and then into Stony Creek drive. If this is to continue an offsight
drainage easement shall be required on his property and potentially an underground pipe under
Stoney Creek Drive. Please work with Engineering to remedy this issue prior to scheduling the PC
public hearing.
11. [Comment] It appears offsite easements are required for the proposed sewer connection. The
easement plat shall be submitted, reviewed, approval, and recorded in the Clerk's Office prior to site
plan approval. Also, as proposed the church properties TMP 09000- 00- 00 -033AO and TNT 09000-
00 -00 -03400 shall be combined via a boundary line vacation plat prior to site plan approval. These
items may take place on the same plat (it's up to the applicant).
12. [Comment] The existing family cemetery is proposed to remain onsite undisturbed. An easement
shall be provided to the owners of the family cemetery so that they may access the cemetary. The
easement shall be granted and accepted prior to the site plan approval. Please provide documentation
to staff that this has been accomplished prior to site plan approval.
13. [Comment] During a recent site visit staff noticed what appeared to be a relatively fresh grave site
marked with a flowering headstone at the SouthWestern boundary of the property unassociated with
the Cemetary onsite. In relation to the concept plan it is located near the proposed relocated shed.
The grave is not depicted on the concept plan or any plats. Please speak to this grave and if
applicable assure it's depicted on the concept plan and plat. If it is a human grave site it will need to
be relocated per state regulations prior to development of the area where it's located, or the plan
shall be revised to not disturb this area. What does the applicant intend to do with the grave site?
14. [Comment] The title of the concept plan is misleading and should be changed to avoid confusion,
currently it reads: "SUP — Site Plan Faith Temple Church Addition "; however, this is not a site plan,
but instead is a concept plan, as such please revise the title to be something to the affect of
"SP2014 -00014 Concept Plan - Faith Temple Church Addition ".
15. [Comment] On sheet 1 of 2, the Parking Information should be clarified, as currently the
calculations for Spaces Required: Assembly Area is. not clear. For example, Spaces Required lists
2,250SF of assembly area; however, that figure does not match any of the assembly area calculations
provided in that chart. While staff understands that the parking calculation that takes presidence in
this instance is the seat count because it is a greater number, staff needs to assure the correct
assembly area calculations are provided. Please correct this chart. If you have any questions about
this give me a call.
Below are comments which have been provided from the other Departments which reviewed the
proposal. Please address all the comments mentioned in this letter prior to resubmittal.

Subject: Zoning Comments for SP 2014 -14 Faith Temple Church Sanctuary
Addition
have reviewed the application plan and have the following comments:
Setbacks
Since the church is a non - residential use located in a residential district, commercial setbacks and
buffers are typically recommended adjacent to residential properties. Staff recommends that the
applicant apply 20 foot setbacks to all proposed parking adjacent to residential properties as outlined
in Section 21.7 of the zoning ordinance in addition to the proposed screening fence or an alternative
form of buffer or screening.
Retaining Wall & Screening Fence
The proposed screening fence and retaining wall located at the back of the property appear to be
immediately adjacent to two neighboring property lines. Please either 1) provide a letter indicating that
permission has been obtained from the adjoining owners of TMP 90C1 -01 -A1 and TMP 90C1 -01 -51
to provide access to the fence and retaining wall for construction and maintenance purposes, or 2)
redesign the fence and wall inside the property line to provide adequate access for construction and
maintenance on both sides.

(Code Chapter 18- 13.2.2) Engineering recommendations
1. Urge coordination with ACF &R on parking lot geometry. (ACF &R comment in County View database
system: `No comments or objections.')
2. Proposed parking design appears unnecessarily close to corner of existing structure (3' separation).
3. Relocated shed and dumpster pad and enclosure occupy the same space; intent not clear. Dumpster pad
may be 7 spaces to the north.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Christopher Perez
FROM: Margaret Maliszewski
RE: SP 2014 -14: Faith Temple Church New Sanctuary Addition
DATE: November 26, 2014
The existing church building is a historic structure. •Survey records completed in 1979 and held at the Virginia Department of Historic
Resources (DHR) indicate that the original building was constructed in the 1880s. The building is described as a typical rural church,
small, executed in a vernacular style, with weatherboard siding and a low stone foundation. The building has been modified over the
years and its exterior appearance suggests that it has lost much of its architectural integrity. The steeple is missing, the siding has been
covered or replaced, the front door has been replaced and a new overscaled canopy has been constructed over the entrance. The
window sash on the south side may be historic, but the trim appears to have been altered /covered. A large addition, unsympathetic to
the original structure, has been built on the north side of the building. The DHR survey form indicates that the interior has also been
altered. Given this condition, the proposed addition is not expected to negatively impact the historic resource. However, it is important
to maintain a record of the condition of the building prior to additional changes and, if there are significant historic features remaining,
these should be incorporated into the renovation/addition. It is recommended that, as a condition of the Special Use Permit and for the
County records, the applicant provide a set of plans, elevations, and photographs (interior and exterior) documenting the current
condition of the building prior to renovation, as well as copies of any historical documentation (photos, plans, etc.) that may have been
uncovered to date. If any significant historic features of the building remain or are uncovered during renovation, it is recommended
that the work be carried out in a way that allows for the preservation of the significant features.
The church is located on Avon Street Extended, which is an Entrance Corridor. All Entrance Corridor (EC) Design Guidelines will
apply to this development. Architectural Review Board approval will be required prior to final site plan approval. Among the EC
requirements is the need for trees and shrubs along the Avon Street frontage, where planting area appears to be limited by utilities and
easements. The applicant is encouraged to fully investigate all existing/proposed utilities and easements with all county landscaping
requirements in mind. Increased planting area — not reduced landscaping — will be required if utility and /or easement conflicts exist. It
is recommended that the applicant submit any preliminary architectural elevations that are available for the proposal at this time so
that preliminary comments regarding consistency with Entrance Corridor requirements can be offered for the applicant's use as work
on the design continues.
Summary of recommendations:
Please provide:
1. A list of remaining historic features of the church (interior and exterior) and indication of how these features will be retained
and /or incorporated into the new work.
Recommended condition of the Special Use Permit:
2. Provide a set of plans, elevations, and photographs (interior and exterior) documenting the current condition of the building prior
to renovation, as well as copies of any historical documentation (photos, plans, etc.) that may have been uncovered to date.
Recommendations:
3. It any sigmtcant historic teatures or the nuiiamg remain or are uncoverea aurmg renovation, it is recommenaea mat the worx oe
carried out in a way that allows for the preservation of the significant features.
4. Submit any preliminary architectural elevations that are available for the proposal at this time so that preliminary comments
regarding consistency with Entrance Corridor requirements can be offered for the applicant's use as work on the design continues.

Re: SP- 2014 -00014 Faith Temple Church
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the SUP site plan for the Faith Temple Church addition dated October 20,
2014 as submitted by Draper Aden Associates and offer the following comments:
1. Generally, VDOT does not have objections to the proposed special use permit based on
the provided site plan. However, there is additional information that is needed before we
can approve a site plan for construction.
a. Right and left turn Iane warrants need to be provided for review.
b. Per Appendix F of the Road Design Manual, the minimum entrance radius for this
entrance is 25' instead of the 20' shown.
c. The proposed entrance needs to be installed in accordance with the CG -1 I
standard as shown in the 2008 Road and Bridge Standards in addition to the
geometric standard for the entrance shown in Appendix F of the Road Design
Manual.
d. How will runoff across the proposed entrance be handled? Runoff from the
entrance should not flow into Avon Street and the entrance should not create a
ponding situation adjacent to Avon Street.
e. The sight lines and available sight distance needs to be shown on the site plan.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9782.

To be paid after staff review for public notice:
Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. •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.
