COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4176 September 30, 2011 Pete Borches P.O. Box 7823 Charlottesville, Virginia 22906 RE: SP201100018 Colonial Nissan- Parking Deck 1St Review Comment Letter on special use permital submittal received August 15, 2011. Mr. Borches: Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for a Special Use Permit for a Parking Deck on the Colonial Nissan property. We have a few questions and comments which are listed below: Planning Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan are provided below. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report. The Places 29 Master Plan has designated this property as Office /R &D /Flex /Light Industrial which is described as commercial, professional offices; research and development, design, testing of prototypes; manufacturing, assembly, packaging. Auto Commercial Sales and Service is listed in the Master Plan as a use permitted in the Master Plan. The proposed parking structure supports this use. Staff has no objection to this use. Neighborhood Model Pedestrian Orientation and Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths- Accommodates walkers, bikers, and public transportation so that mobility can be a reality for the elderly, the young, and those with limited access to automobiles. Page 1 of 5 A sidewalk exists on Route 29 and public transportation is available on Route 29. Transportation Networks and Interconnected Streets- Requires interconnected streets within developments and between developments so that pedestrians can walk easily to many destinations, traffic has alternative routes, and car trips are reduced in number and length. This is not applicable to this proposal. Parks and Open Space- Makes open space integral to overall design so that residents and workers can walk to a public park, experience preserved natural areas, and enjoy public gathering spaces. This is not applicable to this proposal. Mixed Uses- Contains a mixture of residential and non - residential uses so residents have convenient access to work, to services, and to entertainment. This site is a commercial use with no residential uses proposed. Affordability and Mixture of Housing types- Mixes housing types and markets so that a full range of housing choices is offered within the neighborhood. No residential uses are proposed. Site Planning that respects terrain- Adapts development to site terrain so that natural topography can be preserved. This site is primarily developed. Clear boundaries with the Rural Areas- Maintains a clear boundary between Development Areas and Rural Areas. This is not applicable to this proposal. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale- Keeps buildings and spaces at a human scale so that street views are attractive and pedestrian friendly. The parking deck is proposed to be in the rear of the building and will be subject to Architectural Review Board review that will assure that the building will be attractive and pedestrian friendly. Relegated Parking- Moves off - street parking out of sight and encourages on- street parking. The parking deck is proposed to be in the rear of the building which will relegate it out of sight. Neighborhood Centers- Provides for neighborhoods to have a designated center to bring diverse and continuous activity to a neighborhood. Page 2 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke IV This is not applicable. Redevelopment- Emphasizes re -use of sites. Incorporates varying densities and gradually allows for an overall increase in density in the Development Areas to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. This is not applicable to this proposal. More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided. Zonin The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Ron Higgins: See Margaret's comments on the visibility (or lack of) of the display parking from the Entrance Coordidor. Given the current proposal, no SP is needed for that. Current Development The following comments regarding your proposal's ability to meet site plan or subdivision ordinance requirements in the future have been provided by Bill Fritz: Parking structures frequently require amendments from the design standards of Sections 4.12.15, 4.12.16 and 4.12.17. The applicant should review these regulations and request any modifications now so that they may be considered with the SP. If the SP is approved without the modifications in place the applicant should be on notice that approval of the SP does not grant or imply approval of any modification. Modifications are reviewed as provided by Section 4.12.2. The submitted information does not address all of the requirements of Section 32.7.2A. It may be possible to address some of the requirements of this Section with conditions. Engineering and Water Resources The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn Brooks: 1. It appears there may be a net increase in impervious area, and a concept stormwater management plan should be included. 2. Site circulation and parking will need to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and details around the building may need to change with site plans. Entrance Corridor The following comments related to the Entrance Corridor Guidelines have been provided by Margaret Maliszewski: Regarding the Special Use Permit for the parking structure: It is anticipated that a building can be designed to accommodate an automobile dealership, Page 3 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke maintenance center, and a parking structure, while meeting the Entrance Corridor design guidelines.The architectural design requires ARB approval. That ARB review is scheduled for October 3, 2011. Regarding the Special Use Permit for outdoor sales /storage /display: I have reviewed the site section and rooftop parking issue with Fred Missel, ARB chairperson. Based on the drawing entitled "Line of Site Study" dated 8 -12 -11 and received on 9 -7 -11, it has been determined that the rooftop parking will not be visible from the Route 29 Entrance Corridor. Consequently, a Special Use Permit for outdoor storage /display will not be- required. Please be cautioned, however, that the determination is based on the parapet condition as illustrated in the referenced drawing. If the parapet condition changes to address ARB comments on the proposed architectural design, the issue could need to be revisited. ARB review of the architectural design is scheduled for October 3, 2011. VDOT The following comments related to VDOT have been provided by Joel DeNunzio: 1. The existing site connects to a private road, Myers Dr, which connects to Route 29 south. The existing and proposed uses generate enough traffic to warrant a right turn lane from Route 29 to Myers Dr. and the entrance should be upgraded with the site plan. Fire /Rescue This must comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Final approval is subject to field inspection and verification. ACSA The following comments related to ACSA have been provided by Alex Morrison: 1. Site is in jurisdictional area for water and sewer. 2. Closest waterline is located on property. 3. Closest sewer line is on property. 4. Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal: None Known 5. Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority capacity certification: No 6. Water flow or pressure issues that may affect this proposal: 7. Red flags" regarding service provision (Use attachments if necessary): RWSA The following comments related to RWSA have been provided by Victoria Fort: 1. Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal None Known 2. Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority capacity certification Yes X No 3. Water flow or pressure issues that may affect this proposal None Known 4.

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.
