County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Scott Clark, Senior Planner From: Francis MacCall, Principal Planner Division: Zoning Date: February 27, 2015 Subject: SP 2015 -002 Little Lambs - Daycare — initial zoning comments Please consider the following comments: The use of the property for a commercial stable, a dwelling unit and a bed and breakfast are permitted by -right uses and may potentially exist alongside a special use permit use. This is the case even after the exercise of eminent domain by a public entity which reduced the size of the parcel from 24+ acres to 18+ acres. If determined through the special use permit process that the proposed daycare use would be appropriate for this property even with the by -right uses then the property may wind up with multiple uses both residential and commercial. 2. The concept plan contains details on a portion of a separate parcel that is not part of this application. Parcel 1 B1 is currently owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and cannot be included in this application for the daycare since the owner does not have permission from that property owner to develop as shown, let alone utilize the property for a special use permit. This parcel 1 B1 should be shown on the concept plan and those improvements removed from that portion of the concept plan. 3. The concept plan should be revised to clearly define what will be relevant to the daycare use. Knowing what the other by -right uses are, either exiting or proposed, and their relation to the special use permit is certainly relevant to reviewing the impact of the daycare on the property itself and the community. That said the plan needs to clearly differentiate the different uses either with additional notes (Residence — by -right use, Forest barn /agriculture — by -right use, Covered riding ring /Commercial stable — by -right use) or some other way (color coding, with a table of uses ?) This is going to be pertinent to defining the major elements of the concept plan for the site to be developed in general accord with the plan. 4. Clearly delineate the daycare parking spaces and the spaces for the other by -right uses. The number of parking spaces for the daycare appears to be adequate. Please clarify what spaces will be for the daycare noting that there can be no more than 36 spaces permitted for the daycare per the numbers of children and staff proposed. See comet #3 about delineation of the uses. 5. The concept plan should be revised to show the building setbacks and the stream buffer (Front — 25', Side - 25', Rear - 35', Stream Buffer - 100') 6. A site plan will be required for the daycare use.
