Claudette-
I never got my comments on the conditions to you. Here are a couple of suggested minor changes:
1. In condition 1, begin: "The indoor soccer facility shall be is limited . . .
2. In condition 3, change the reference to the CO"of" 1740 Broadway Street to the CO "for" 1740 Broadway Street.

Subject: 1740 Broadway
Good morning, Tom.
I regret that I am a day late with this, but yesterday I was tied up with my business and could not get to this
application as I had wanted to.
The PC's attorney, Greg Kamptner, who will be present this evening, has informed me that:
a) since the structure at 1740 Broadway existed before 4/3/2013 when a new ordinance applied, my
understanding is that a commercial use such as the one you are proposing is
permitted in the LI district via SP. Such a SP commercial use does not supplant the existing LI status of the
property, but merely supplements it, running concurrently with the LI status unless its timing is durational.
b)the BOS has this year already granted a SP with a durational time limit and also did so in 2013 in another
case. Your request of a specific period of time to apply for your SP for 1740 Broadway to cover the time period
of your intended use may best guarantee your interests while preserving the county's desire to not see prime LI
space removed from future potential LI use as provided for in the Comprehensive Plan.
For this evening I am assuming you will be prepared to share the following:
1) Time frame of when you plan to initiate your use and the end date of your use. For the latter I suggest you be
certain to not box yourself in so that you do not need to subsequently request an extension of your use. If you
think you can be in and out of there in three years, say so, but give yourself a bit of a cushion (hence, requesting
44 months).
2)Parking study: as precisely as possible I suggest you indicate the location of the 20 parking spaces you have
indicated your business will require, identifying the exact location of these spaces for reasons of safety for the
youth and adults attending your program and for the potential movement of the back-of-building user's probable
trucks and vehicles.
3) List of probable full-time and part-time employees by job assignments (office manager, soccer instructor,
etc.)to demonstrate the link between your use and new employment for the county.
I hope this information is helpful to you. I look forward to seeing you again this evening.
Best regards,
Rick

Claudette-
FYI in case Wayne or Elaine haven't already forwarded this to you. Given the proximity of this SP to the City,was the City
notified of the SP under Virginia Code 14.2-2204(C)?

Dear Commissioners,
We write regarding SP2014-00013, a request for a special use permit to establish an indoor soccer training
facility within the existing Data Visible building at 1740 Broadway Street.
Your staff report comments:
Use of Surrounding Properties: The area is surrounded by industrial uses with the Buckingham
railroad line serving as the northern boundary.
CHARACTER OF THE AREA:
This site is developed with a warehouse building and associated parking and loading areas. In general,
the immediate surrounding area is tailored to industrial uses. Clear Communications and Champion
Brewing Company are located to the west of the subject property. Wimberly, Inc. is located to the east of
the subject site; to the north is the Buckingham Branch railroad line with the City/County boundary just
beyond the railroad. The Yves Delorme corporate office and warehouse and the Festive Fare party
rentals are located across Broadway Street, and to the south.
We wish to point out that the one-mile north-western boundary of"urban neighborhood four" is adjacent to
residential uses in the City of Charlottesville. The property under discussion tonight is adjacent to the Woolen
Mills Neighborhood.
