RE: SP201400016 Canaan Christian Church
Dear Mr. &Ms. Hernandez:
On October 14, 2015, 2105 the Board of Supervisors took action on your Special Use Permit application
to allow for a 150 seat church in the Rural Areas under Chapter 18 Section 10.2.2.35 of the Zoning
Ordinance on TMP 08000000002100 in the Rivanna District. The Special Use permit was approved by
the Board's adoption of the attached resolution and conditions.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on the
project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully begin until all
applicable approvals have been received and conditions have been met. This includes:
• compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT;
• approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN; and
• approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
Before beginning uses as allowed by this special use permit or if you have questions regarding the above-
noted action, please contact Rebecca Ragsdale at(434)296-5832 ext. 3226.
Sincerely,
/ -
David Benish
