The property is approved for 14 single family attached units, which would he phases li and III of the Cottages of Jefferson Heights development, To the north is the Westminster Canterbury retirement community zoned PRD Planned Residential Development, Located to the west of the site are office uses also zoned PRD. Properties across Route 250 from the site are PDMC Planned Development Mixed Commercial as part of the Peter Jefferson Place office and business park with uses that include offices, restaurant, hotel, and open space. (Attachment A- Aerial Map, Attachment B- Zoning heap) Planning and Zoning Flory: • The 2,088 acre parcel was zoned from RA to R1, Residential in 1080 with the County's adoption of the new zoning ordinance and comprehensive map revisions. • 1,33 acres of the 2,088 acre parcel was rezoned from R1 to PRD (Planned Residential Development) with proffers on January 12, 2000 ( MA 99 -01, Pantops Place - Attachment ). This rezoning allowed 30 independent living cottages, independent living apartments, and an assisting living center_ When this rezoning was submitted, office use was proposed for the portion of the property parallel to Route 250. Office use was not recommended for approval by the Planning Commission for the following reasons: o The Neighborhood Three Sturdy stated: "Limit strip development of Route 250 East by preventing commercial development along the north side of the road from 1 -4 to the Regional Service designated area o Westminster Canterbury offices were approved based on their direct relationship to the Westminster Canterbury development and desire to {provide community outreach to the elderly population. o It was believed that office space approved with Westminster and in Peter Jefferson Place was sufficient to serve mast of the professional office needs for this immediate area. + MA 01 -11, Pantops Place PRD was approved on October 3, 2001 and was an amendment to remove a commitment for access to an adjacent parcel_ The owner could not proffer use of a private road owned by Westminster Canterbury and had to remove this proffer. • SDP 2042 -101 (Pantops Place Phase 11) was approved to allow 10 single family attached cottages on the 1.33 acres of the PRD that fronted on Route 250 which was rezoned with ZMA 9 9- 01 _ * ZMA 2004 -09 was approved on April 20, 2005 to add 0.757 acres zoned R1 Residential to the PRO to allow for a 4 -unit condominium building. The approved application plan and proffers for this rezoning are provided as Attachment D. Proffers associated with this rezoning provided for a maximum number of units. sidewalks, grading in the Route 250 right -of -way to allow for future sidewalks. a 15' buffer along the eastern property line. making the property subject to the Pantops Place covenants and restrictions, and proffering architectural building elevations. + SDP 2005 -075 (Cottages at Jefferson Heights Phase 111) was approved an February 9, 2006 for the portion of PRO rezoned with ZMA 2004 -009 and allowed 4 units. This 0,757 acre parcel was later combined with the 1.33 acres of the Pantops Place PD fronting Route 250, which is now under consideration for potential rezoning to C ommerciai Office. Specifics of Proposal This is a compliance with the comprehensive plan review for a potential rezoning proposal from PRD Planned Residential Zoning to Commercial Office_ The applicant has submitted a narrative letter describing the proposal and justification along with two concepts for layout of the site, labeled as SB 1 -B and SP-2. as provided in Attachment E. The applicant is proposing a one -story 3,000 square foot bank and two story office building of approximately 10,000 - 13,000 square feet. Drive through window( s) and lanes are proposed with the bank and would also require special use permit approval. Prior to submitting a rezoning and committing to the rezoning process. the applicant would like feedback frorn the Commission on the likelihood of approval_ The Commercial Office district (Attachment F) is intended as a transition between residential districts and other more intensive commercial or industrial districts- Administrative off ice s, medica lid entaI offices, financial institutions, and limited retail /services uses are permitted in the CO zoning district: drive -in windows are permitted by special use permit- Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan The first step in the process is to asses the proposal for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, in this case with the Pantops Master Plan. Pantops Master Plan The Pantops Master Plan references the previous Neighborhood Three Study and recommends that the master plan adhere to recommendations of that study, including limiting strip development along Route 250 East- The site is designated Urban Density in the Pantops Master Plan which calls for prima6ly residential uses, especially at this location in Pantops, where the site is at the edge of a neighborhood not looted near the mixed -use center area identified in the master plan. (See inset of Pantops Master Plan below) The Urban Density Residential land use designation recommends 6-01 — 34 residential units per acre with support uses and some non - residential uses- Urban Density Residential areas can accommodate all dwelling 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. Urban Density Residential areas accommodate small areas of non - residential land uses on the scale of Neighborhood Service, to serve residential uses. Neighborhood Service areas are intended to provide neighborhood retail uses such as a newsstand. small restaurant, bakery, convenience store without gas pumps. pharmacy, florist, small professional office, daycare, other services, or five /work units. This may include retail of less than 4.000 square feet: live/work units above office and/or retail, small office buildings less than 20,000 square feet and no building footprint over 1 0,000 square feet: and studiosi ottage occupations- or J r' 1r " _ d s +- y ,+ * + f T •Y 4 ie j * + C� # The site is within the LuxorJl+Vestminster Canterbury 4 neighborhood as designated in the Pantops Master Plan and is located on the north side of Route 250 between Glenorchy to the east and office /commercial development to the west with Luxor, Rite Aid Pharmacy. Westminster Canterbury offices. The edge of this neighborhood is formed by natural features, with a stream to the east and the power lime to the north. The property proposed for rezoning is located near the edge of the neighborhood. (See inset above) The Pantops Master Plan recommends the following for this neighborhood in Pantops: • The Luxor commercial development and Rite Aid pharmacy area represent an emerging Community Center, • New residential development should respect existing residential developments and the school use adjacent to the Community Center_ • The American Legion Mall and Montessori Community School provide a transition to the commercial corridor on the north side of Route 250_ They should be retained as supporting uses to the residential uses nearby. • Create and preserve a vegetated buffer along Route 250 from Glencirchy Drive to Pantops Mountain Road to help retain the rural {residential character of this part of Pantops. From Pantops Mountain Road heading west, create an urban character with building orientation to Route 250, • Connections for bikes and pedestrians from the north side of Route 250 to Rivanna Fridge are identifier) as critical in the master plan • Limit "strip development" of Route 250 East ■ Redevelopment, infill, and new development within Pantops are expected to occur in a manner that is wholly consistent with the Neighborhood Model and the Pantops Master Plan design principles. Suburban land use patterns should not be continued and innovative sustainable design practices and mixed use approaches are encouraged. Priority Areas The master plan establishes Priority Areas to focus public efforts /resources over the next 5 to 10 years on the Implementation Map, The site proposed for rezoning Falls outside of the established priority areas_ Areas that are not with a priority area will not be the primary focus of public capital investment or resource allocation during in next 10 years_ While decisions regarding private development proposalslinvestments should not be based solely on these priority areas, decisions on development proposals should be made with an understanding of where public investments are being focused. Land use decisions should be consistent with the priority areas established in the Plan. New proposals outside of the priority areas may not be approved if planned facilities are not in place to support the project and the existing neighborhood. These projects will need to provide more significant level of improvements to ensure adequate infrastructure and services are available to the area. The applicant's proposal is on a site that already has a development plan approved so staff believes that this section of the master plan is not applicable because it was intended to apply to new development proposals. Staff believes that if a rezoning is submitted the applicant should address improvements to provide pedestrian connections to the site. QUEST10N FOR THE Cpl Y15 I N: Are the proposed uses In conformity with the Comprehensive Plan? The Pantaps Master Plan emphasizes that commercial uses be located in the nearby neighborhood centers of Luxor and Rivanna Ridge_ The area of Pantops under consideration for rezoning should retain its residential character. The master plan also supports improving connections from the residential areas to the east to the commercial centers. Any new development should address these recommendations of the master plan: Limit "strip developmenf' of Route 250 Create and preserve a vegetated buffer along Route 250 from Glenorchy Drive to Pantops Mountain Roach to help retain the rurallresidential character of this part of Pantops. From Pantops Mountain Road heading west, create are urban character with building orientation to Route 250. Connections for bikes and pedestrians from the north side of Route 250 to Rivanna Ridge are identified as critical in the master plan The Urban Density land use designation suggests that some areas with that designation may be appropriate for nor- residential uses of a scale of up to 4,000 for retail and 20.000 square feet for office in some instances, The applicant's proposal falls within those building square footage guidelines of the land use plan_ Typically, non - residential uses that have been allowed in Urban Density areas have been limited to office uses that would be compatible with surrounding residential uses and serve nearby residents. While the applicant's assertion that the bank will serve residents of the two senior living developments, the use represents more of a community service level use than neighborhood service. On Route 250, the bank would be expected to capture significant traffic along Route 250, not just within the neighborhood. Hjgher traffic generating retail uses or uses with drive -thru facilities have not been approved in these areas. Previous proposals for office use were not supported at this site because of concerns that the office uses should have a relationship to and be supportive of nearby residential uses_ In addition, commercial use of the front of the PRD was viewed as creating strip development on Route 250, Staff believes that this site was intended for residential uses and not commercial use in the master plan and the current zoning is in conformity with the master plan. However, if the Commission finds that non-residential uses are appropriate at this location, consideration should be given to the intensity of use and the farm of development, IMPACTS The attached plans show two options for the location of a bank and office building on the site. The impacts of these uses primarily deal with the relationship to the rest of the PRD. other nearby properties, and Rt_ 250 East. Adjacent Residential Uses As stated previously, the property is adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The proposed bank use is one which has a larger service a{ea than just the nearby Westminster 6 Canterbury and Jefferson Heights (Pantcps Place) development. It has very little relationship to the rest of the surrounding residential within the PRD. Traffic impacts are different and would be greater than whet would be expected with the approved residential development. Offices would potentially generate more traff ic than the approved residential uses. The relationship to the nearby residential uses for offices has not been established, but could, perhaps be established by the applicant with more information_ It may be possible to retain the P R D designation and approve office by special use permit if a bank is not proposed. Environmental, Cultural, and Historic Although critical slopes are present on the site, there are no environmental features identified for protection cn the Pantops Master Plan or County Open Space Plan. A cultural and historic resource, a mature hedgerow and stone wall line the eastern side to the property and create a buffer between Pantops Place and the Glenorchy subdivision. Staff believes that if this property is rezoned, preservation of the wall and hedgerow should occur, as is proffered with the existing zoning. Impacts to Monticello could exist if the property is in the Monticello viewshed. The applicant should work with Monticello to determine if anyr impacts to the viewshed exist and should be mitigated. Streets The applicant is proposing to access the property from an existing private road (Pantops !Mountain Read) and share access with office uses to the west. This road is owned by Westminster Canterbury and it is not known whether the ability to add traffic from the development exists. if a rezoning moves forward. the applicant will have to provide necessary documentation to demonstrate there are no issues with use of the private street for a bank and commercial use. VDOT provided comments on this proposal via e-mail on April 7. 2010; 1. The total traffic generated for the bank and office is 926 trips per day. This is below the threshold for a Chapter 527 Study. . The proposed uses connect to an existing private road and a Land Use Permit will not be needed from VDOT. Neighborhood Models If the use and scale are approvable, then any rezoning proposal should conform with the Neighborhood Model_ Conformity with the Neighborhood Model is assessed below: Pedestrian Orientation Neighborhood Friendly Streets a rid Paths Interconnected Streets and Sidewalks exist along the east side of Pantops Mountain Road to the entrance of this site. Any development of the site should include the internal sidewalks that were previously approved on the residential rezoning application plan. _ The previous development proposal proffered to grade in the Route 250 right-of-way to provide for a future sidewalk_ The applicant has offered to build the sidewalks along the Route 250 frontage and provide landscaping which is advantageous to this proposal. There are no streets proposed with this rezoning. Only a driveway into the site is shown. Locations of interconnections have already 7 Transportation been considered. Connecting to Glenorchy subdivision is not Networks practical and would disturb the hedgerow and fieldstone wall previously proffered to be preserved and recommended for reservation if this property is rezoned to commercial. Parks and Open This property is not expected to provide for parks or open space. If Space this property is rezoned, analysis of how removal of the property from the Pantops Pike PRD affects the PRD will be needed. The property is located close to the Rivannak Ridge shopping center, Neighborhood Centers the proposed Luxor mixed -use; development, and the Martha Jefferson campus The Pantops Master Plan does not recommend that this site serve as a center or fool poi nt. Buildings and Although the narrative submitted with this project describes it as Spaces of Human pedestrian friendly, staff is concerned that these concepts do not Scale provide for buildings and spaces of human scale- The bank building appears to be car - oriented with the layout and number of drive through lanes proposed. If a rezoning is submitted, this issue must be addressed. Staff also believes that a two-story building would be more appropriate- The A R B would also need to review the plan for conformity with the Entrance Corridor guidelines- Relegated Parking Mixture of Uses Mixture of Housing Types and Affordabilit Redevelopment Site Planning that Respects Terrain Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas Relegating parking has not been provided on either concept design. If a rezoning is submitted, the concept plan should provide for relegated parking, which was achieved under the approved residential development of the site. This rezoning is proposing a development that would include commercial office uses only but is adjacent to nearby residential. So far, the relationship of the bank to the residential use does not Mpear apppropriate- The proposed rezoning does not include residential uses. if the Commission finds that the proposed land use is appropriate, then this principle is not applicable. The proposed project would be built on an undeveloped site. Protection of a mature hedgerow and fieldstone wall along the east side of parcel, preserving the historic character of this feature and providing screening from the Entrance Corridor and Glenorchy, will be needed - The site rises to 20 feet above Route 250 and contains criticat slopes, some of which were manmade with construction of Route 250 and Pantops Mountain Road. The prior development proposal worked more closely with the terrain than this proposal. The applicant would need to address this issue and may also need a critical slopes waiver. This property is located within the Pantops Development Area. This principle does not apply, 8 UES7TI IN FOR THE COMMISSION: If the proposed uses are in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, are there recommendations to address impacts? Staff believes that the irnpacts of the bank are greater Pharr what is appropriate for the Urban Density designation in this area and recommendations of the master plan_ If a relationship can be established between the offices and the adjacent residential neighborhoods, then the following issues, along with the detailed reviewer comments noted in Attachment H. should be addressed, * Provide screening and buffering where needed * Provide relegated parking * Provide a sidewalk on Route 250 Provide landscaping on Route 250 consistent with the Pantops Master Plan * Preserve the hedgerow and wall on the property * Preserve Monticello viewshed • Provide a two -story building • Work more closely with the terrain Demonstrate ability to use Pantops Mountain Road RECOMMENDATION Based on the information provided for review, staff does not find the proposal in conformity with the Urnprehensive Plan, however, the Commission is asked to provide 91,idance on the appropriateness of the proposed land uses. If the Commission finds the uses appropriate at this site, staff believes the applicant should address impacts to adjoining residential properties and neighborhood model design issues with the rezoning and special use permit application.

Request for Pre - application Worksession for proposed financial institution and medical office buildings at Pantops (TMP 78 -55A7) Dear Ms. Ragsdale, Southern De:ve lopmont is writing on behalf of the property owner of the above - referenced property to rt que t a pre•appliotiem worksession with the Planning Commission. This proposal includes a possible rezoniag and special use permit For the subject property. Enclosed is a conceptual layout showing the proposed uses of the property. The pToperty is currently vacant arid consists of 2.058 acres locamd on the r ortheasie:rn corner of Route 250 and Pantops Mountain Road. The parcel is adjacent to the Jefferson Heights senior apartments (to the north), Glenorchy (to the east). Pantops Mountain Road (to the west) and Rt. 250 (to the south). The current Yonin5 of the parcel is Planned Residential Development (PRD) and was rezoned as apart of the Pantops Place PRD- Proposed Use of Propett The applicant proposes to rezone the property frmn PRD to Commumial Office (CO) and request a special use permit for a drive- through. The proposed uses will include a financial institution with a drive- through that will occupy western half of the site and 'a medical office buitdiag occupying the eastern portion of the site. The property owner understands we will be required to obtain the signatures of the other owners within the Pantops Place PRD for this application. The initial meeting in May 2009 with the other owners within the PRD indicated general support for this change in use. Currently, the approved Pantops Place master plan shows 8 residential cottages adjacent to the inters=tion of Pantops M ountain Road and along the frontage of lit, 250 (7 lane thoroughfare). We feel this proposal provides a more consistence plan oFdevelopmenI that has already evolved along the lit, M corridor- Providing additional neighborhood services along the road frontage will compiimen( the adjacent residential uses and further the principles of the Neighborhood Model and Panteaps Master Plan, as described below (tachnient E Relationship to NMD The proposed rezoning suppom the twelve principles of the Nei ghbvrh€rod Mode as follows- I. Pedestrian rarienrarion. The proposed commercial uses (bank & office building) will pmvide financial services and medical offices within a few minute walk ror residents and staff of the, Jefferson heights senior apartments, Jefferson Cottages 55+ community and the Westminstcr-Ca n terbury retirement cormmunity, The proposed layout oft he site w i I I invite pedestrian acres= from n=i boring homes and offices. . lVee hborJaaod- rien&y streets and paths. The site will he served by internal and external sidewalks that will allow pedestrians to wvc Neely within the site and to adjacenI properties. In addi tian tc new a new sidewalk along the frontage of Rt. 250 safe and convenient pedestnan access will be provided to the CTS bus stop located on Pantops fountain Road. lrrtercannerred streets and transportation networks. The property currently shares access aria Pantops Mountain Place with the Jefferson Heights senior aparnnents and Jefferson Cottages community. Our preliminary review may allow us to provide a s=cond point of access into tine site from Pantops Moun Lain Road. Although, the topography is chaIIentdng we plan on providing multiple points of pedestrian connections throughout the property. The adjacent CTS bus stop (Route 10) will provide a connection to downtown CharlottesviIle for clients and employees. 4. Park5x acrd apea spate. The parcel is within walking distance of the open spur= afld trails associated with the Jefferson Cottages deveiopmcnt and also adjacent to the Glewrchy open space. Enhanced landscaping will be provided along lit. ?50 in accordance with the Pantops Master Pian Parks and Green Systems Wrap. 5. Neighborhoodcenrers, The property is designated as a mixed-use neighborhood rather than a neighborhood center within the Pantops Master Plan. Although mixed -use neighborhoods are supposed to "develop in a compact urban form, exhibiting the greatest mix of uses," the surrounding properties are largely residential. The proposed rezoning offers the opportunity to diversify the mix of uses and add a bank and medical officer, as a neighborhood smeni[y, 6. Building and spaces afhu rran scale_ In response to corn trots we received from the neighbors and itr k= =ping with the scale of Jefferson Cottages, the bank and office building will be limited to a maximum of two stories out of grade adjacent to the residential area and 3 stories out of grade adjacent to Pantops MountaIn Road and lit. 250. 7. Relegated pa4in . The buildings have been posidoned away from one another to allow the parking to be looted in between them. This a] lows us to reduce the amount of parking located between the buildings and the road frontage (Rt. 250). The proposed drive - through for the bank will be iocmted on the side of the boding to help reduce its visibility to the corridor. A shared parking arrangements between the uses be explored as a strategy to minimize required parking. 8. M&iure of uses. As noted in 45 above, the proposed rezoning offers the opportunity to diversify the mix of uses in the neighborhood. 9. Mixture of'ho=ing types and affordability. The existing zoning provides for additional senior housing urtits an the property. Because a variety 0 scni€kr housing al=dy exists in the adjacent ,leff on Heights senior apar- meats (rental), Jeff'ewn Cottages 55+ community (owner -- occupied) and Westminster- Canterbury retirement community assisted Iivimg), we believe that adding neighborhood -scale commercial uses on tits propwy better fits the goals of the neighborhood model, 10, Redevelopment. The property is within the Development Area. Rezoning from residential to cotnmereia] office use allows the neighborhood -scale eommercia] to locate Glaser to tine customers, connect to existing infrastructure and reduce the potential for sprawl, 11. Site planWng char respects terrain_ The property is topographically challenging due. in part to the past mnstrucfioa projects surrounding the site. Deposits of fill that were durtnped on the site frorn previous projects will be removed and the site will be graded to allow safe and conveaniertt access for both vehicular and pedestrian. 12. Clear boundaries with the Rural Areas. The property is well within the Development Area, so this principle is not implicated in the rezoning proposal. Rclationshin to Pantops Master Plan The property Iies at the eastern portion of the Luxor/ estminster Canterbury mixed -uses neighborhood as sbown on the Pantops Master Plan Framework Map_ The Framework Map designates the property as "Urban Density Residential," which translates to a mix of predominantly high- demsizy residential uses with some supportive non- residential uses. Specifically- "U rban Density Residential areas accommodate small areas of non - residential land uses on the scale of Nei ghboThood Services, to serve residential uses. This may include corn er stores, less than 4,00D square feet; IiYet ork units above office and/or retail; small offxe buildings less than 20,000 square feet; and studias}cottages occupations." (see Pantops Master Plan, p.19) The proposed uses provide a logical transition From the heavily - trafficked Rt, 250 to [lie quiet neighborhoods and green spaces north of the property. The applicant will provide a vegetated buffer along the property's lit, 250 frontage to help retain the rural/residential character of this part of Pautops, in accordance with the Pantops Master Plan recommendation (p.23), The buffer will support the transportation recommendation of the Pantops Master Plan for reprogramming this portion of Rt. 250 as a boulevard with a system of adjacent sidewalks, strategic crosswalks and a corridor -wide landscaping program (p.39&4"?), The buffer will also fulfill applirxble entrance conidrr requirements (p.47). The proposed r=ning supports the six Pantops Master Plan guiding Principles aq follows (p.5): I. Protection ofscenic vistas and open space, The proposed buffer and buildings will be designed to minimize visual impacts to both the Monticel]a viewshed and entrance corridor along lit. 250. . Respect for rural c harac�er, existing neighbaorhoods and pedestrian ways. The addition of the buffer along Rt, 250, enhancing the pedesvian nemark, and pmviding neighborhood -scale cornmmial within walking distance will cornplimmi the adjacent communities.. Provision of new - parks, fi hrinoire control and adequate watermpplyforfuture demiry increases. The enhanced buffer and sidewalks along Rt. 250. along with the sidewalks to be provided throughout the site, will provide better access to nearby open spaces than current conditions. In response to the neighbors' concerns about visual impacts, the bank, will be single -story building and the site's natural topogmphy will be used to control light and noise intrusions. The proposed uses are not waxer - intensive and will tie into the existing sanitary sewer line on the property- 4. Tranesparralion improvements to balance convenience and acce ssfbflhr ? with alternative »codes and inierconisect ons, Althougb the primary vehicular access point is from the north we are curremly evaluating a second point of access from the west. We will coordinate with VDOT to en$nre access and transportation improvements are satisfactory. In addition to increasing the vehicular points of access we plan on providing multiple points oFpedestrian access into and within the site. The main attraction to this location is providing services to the daily traffic that already exists on Pantops Mountain Road. SuNmnd a] feat traffic and transit use are anticipated and will be accommodated an site. S. Addifion ofpubfic facifiries, serufces aed ursftr rionrs convenient or residents. Based on t13e meeting with the adjacent neighbors, we expect that a well - planned bank branch and office building will be viewed as amenities that will enhance the livability and convenience of their ncighborhoods- 6. Consistenn, with Neighborhood Modef_ As previously described above. Please feel free to contaGci me with any queSdons and we took forward to discussing this proposal with the PIatnning Conunission.

AR 3 review and approval will be required for the site plans for this proposal. The drive -thru requires a special use permit. Comment from the ARB or ARB staff will be required for the SP. Architectural drawings of the bank and the drive -thru. in addition to a site plan. wiI I be required in order to provide those comments. Regarding the proposed concept plans: 1. The plans are too small to read. S ufficiernt utiIit}° -free planting area must be provided along the Route 250 frontage to meet the EC landscape requirements- 2. The proposal suggests that the bank will have a pedestrian focus. The scale of the drive - thru structure in reiation to the scale of the main bank, building will be a focus of ARB review. It is recommended that the number of drive -thru lanes be reduced to limit impacts to the site and the EC. 3. Aligning the fronts of the bank- and the office building would help coordinate the development as {dewed from the E. 4. In SP -2. the parking at the office building is not sufficiently broken up. The building should be used to break up the parking and to help Ii mi t the impact of the parking on the EC. In both layouts, locate more of the parking behind (north of) the proposed buildings. 5. In SP -2. the bank is not ori ented parallel to the EC, as required by the BC Guidelines. Staff wnuld not recommend approval oFthis orientation to the ARB, 6. In both layouts, it is recornrnended that long tree islands be located between double rows of parking to help limit impact; of the parking on the EC. 7. In the review of previous proposal for this site, the Alm was concerned about the proximity of stormv,uter management facilities to the EC and the integration of those facilities into the surrounding landscape. Attachment G COP 2010 -01 PETER JEFFERSON O ISRLOOF DETAILED REVIEW COM MENTS APRIL 27, 2010 COUNTY ATTORNEY - The County Attorney's office has advised that signatures from all property owners within the P R D will be necessary to authorize the applicant submitting a rezoning application, This is hosed on the fact that the proposal represents a m ate naI change to the PRIJ that can affect the other properties_ CONCEPT PLAN COMMENTS - There are specific comments the County Engineer, Zoning, and Current Development have made that must be addresse# if a rezoning is submitted: The attached plan proposal does not incorporate the 20 foot undisturbed buffer required between commercial and residential uses, if the property is rezoned to Commercial Office. Refer to Section 27,7, (c): Buffer zone adjacent to residential and rural areas districts. N o construction activity including grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than twenty (2 0) feet to any residential or rural' areas distract Screening shall be provided as required in section 32.7.9. (Amended 9-9-92) Two options for the site design are offered S P1 -B is not recommended for the fallowing reasons: • The concept plan shows a very complex intersection. This design does not provide for adequate access. • A portion of the access runs through an existing building • The slip ramp on sheet Pt -6 is not {ecomrnended as parking just inside the site may cause queuing onto the roadway. The design shown on SP-2 appears workable_ There are no major engineering concerns with a commercial office use in this location and issues identified appear they car. be addressed at the site development plan stage of review by the County. Drive - through windows require a special use permit which includes a review to ensure that adequate access, circulation, and stacking distances can be accomplished. Given the lack of detail provided on the concept plans. it cannot be determined if the required stacking and by- pass Jane are provided. The design requirements for drive - through windows will have to be met and will be reviewed as part of the special use permit evaluation if a rezoning and concurrent special use permit are submitted. Utilities — The site is within the service area far the Albemarle County S ervice Authority and water and sewer service is available to the site. AC SA-Albemarle County Service Authority comments received via e-mail April a, 2010: The Cottages prehminary plan was previously approved by the ,Service ,Authority We don't have additional comments regarding potential rezoning or SP requests other than to say capacity exists in our system For this item. Technical or engineering comments will be addressed at the site plan stage. Aflachinew fi
