HomeMy WebLinkAboutSDP201600035 Action Letter 2016-08-04The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by
the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [ZMA2004-7] Split zoning. Staff strongly recommends against creating split zoned lots. It's recommended that the
final plat and final site plan be modified to develop single zoned lots. The lots which need to be omitted from the
plat/site plan or modified out of split zoning are lots 232, 231, 226, 227, and lot 225. Lots 209 — 220 and Lot 228 are
sufficient as proposed being the split zoning does not impact the proposed buildings. Please assure the proposed
buildings are outside of the NMD area.
If split zoned lots are not sufficiently modified out of split zoning then the split zoned lots with buildings in NMD
zoned land shall be counted towards the NMD unit counts. The plan and plat must demonstrate the proposed uses,
setbacks, and code of development standards can be met in each district for the lots created. The zoning, proposed use,
and density on the cover page must be updated to provide this information. A table shall be provided to indicate an
accounting of open space, density, etc.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Setbacks. Revise the building site note sheet 1 to omit the portion which reads: "Lots 118-121, 57, and 58
are future lots in this section which are still zoned R-4... " as it was explained this note is a carryover from a previous
iteration of the plan and is no longer applicable.
3. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(1)] General Information. Access to Mr. Jacob Levenson's property (TMP 62-2A) shall be maintained
throughout the entire project. What is proposed for the existing driveway access easement (DB 3595-55)? Is it being
vacated?
4. [32.8.2] Infrastructure improvement plans. All infrastructure required to construct phase 4A shall be review, approved,
and built or bonded before the final plat and/or final site plan can be approved. This includes all offsite improvements
required to serve the development, including road plans, WPO plan, water and sewer connections which are part of
phase 2B.
5. [SP2007-54 condition of approval #6, 32.5.2(b),] Soccer field parking. The applicant shall demonstrate as a
condition of final site plan approval that the on-site parking provided for the use, including on-site on -street parking,
is adequate for the proposed use. The project limits do not include the area proposed for the soccer field as approved in
SP2007-54; however, the on street parking along Belvedere Boulevard is required parking for the use. Revise parking
calculations to designate and account for the on street parking provided to the soccer field use. Also, dimension the
required on street parking spaces for the soccer field. It is suggested on street parking be provided fronting lots 233 —
241 to help get the development to the required 65 spaces needed for the soccer field. If on street parking can be
accommodated on Fowler Street, it is suggested such parking be provided as well.
6. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(n), 4.12.61 Parking. On the plan provide parking calculations for the multifamily units to include the
number of bedrooms/units in each townhouse. This information is required in order to calculate the required parking
for the use. If each unit is planned to have 2 bedrooms or more, then 2 spaces are required per unit. Additionally, if
parking is provided on each lot then one guest space shall be required per 4 units (27 units 14 = 7 spaces). Depict,
