RE: SP201600012 Chestnut Grove Baptist Church—Additional Hours
Dear Ms. Edwards:
County and State-level staff have reviewed your initial submittal to extend the operating hours
of the existing pre-school at Chestnut Grove Baptist Church. Below is a summary of our analysis
up to this point, as well as a few questions to be addressed prior to scheduling a public hearing
with the Planning Commission.
Community Meeting:
The Acting Director of Planning determined that no community meeting is required for this
request after consulting with the Board member for the White Hall district. As a courtesy,
adjacent property owners received a letter to notify them an application had been received by
the County.
Comprehensive Plan:
Staff finds this request to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. It seeks to amend the
conditions of an existing use that is supportive to rural residents. Staff does not find an
extension of operating hours at this scale will significantly impact the overall use and character
of the site.Additional comments on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan may be provided
to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
Review Comments:
No major issues were identified during the review, however, a few details need to be addressed
before moving forward to the Planning Commission.These details include:
• The project narrative states that no physical modifications to the site are required for
the request, but later provides information on improvements (such as channelizer posts
and signage)that were discussed with VDOT on February 11, 2016. An exhibit or concept
plan should show the location and design of these improvements on a copy of the final
1
site plan.This plan does not have to be drawn by an "authorized preparer" as required
by the Site Plan Ordinance.
• My research on the application history of Chestnut Grove did not reveal an approved
final site plan (or site plan waiver). It appears that a preliminary site plan was approved
on December 11, 2003 (SDP200300085). A final site plan was then submitted on
September 23, 2004 (SDP200400081), but was later deemed to be voluntarily withdrawn
on September 25, 2015.
o Do you have any information about the site plan history?
o If none, we will need to confirm with the Zoning Administrator/Acting Director of
Planning on how we proceed with a special use permit request when a final site
plan has not been approved.
• Will you please confirm that you are comfortable with the four existing conditions from
SP200300063, except that you would like the hours of operation in Condition#3 to be
modified to "7:00AM to 6:00PM"?
Action after Receipt of Comments
After you have read this letter, please take one of the actions identified on "Action After
Receipt of Comment Letter" which is attached.
Resubmittal
If you choose to resubmit, please use the attached form (or just call me to schedule a time to sit
down together).There is no fee for the first resubmittal.The resubmittal date schedule is
provided for your convenience.
Notification and Advertisement Fees
Prior to scheduling a public hearing with the Planning Commission, payment of the following
fees for newspaper advertisements and notification of adjoining owners are required:
$141.00 Cost for newspaper advertisement
$215.00 Cost for notification of adjoining owners (minimum $200+actual postage/$1 per
owner after 50 adjoining owners)
$356.00 Total amount due prior to Planning Commission public hearing
Prior to the Board of Supervisor's public hearing, payment of the newspaper advertisement for
the Board hearing is needed:
$141.00 Additional amount due prior to Board of Supervisors public hearing
$497.00 Total amount for all notifications Fees may be paid in advance. Payment for both the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors public hearings may be paid at the same time.
Additional notification fees will not be required unless a deferral takes place and adjoining
owners need to be notified of a new date.
I believe we can work out these issues prior to the notification deadlines associated with the
July 12, 2016 Planning Commission meeting.The County would need to receive payment for the
2
notification and advertisement fees by no later than June 20, 2016 to move forward on the July
12, 2016 Planning Commission meeting agenda.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions. I can be reached at inewberry@albemarle.org or

be found at www.albemarle.org in the "forms" section at the Community Development page. Be

Each subsequent resubmittal requires an additional fee. (See attached Fee Schedule.)

If you plan to resubmit after 30 days from the date of the comment letter,you need to request an
indefinite deferral. Please provide a written request and state your justification for requesting the
deferral. (Indefinite deferral means that you intend to resubmit/request a public hearing be set
with the Planning Commission after the 30 day period.)
(3) Request Planning Commission Public Hearing Date be Set
At this time,you may schedule a public hearing with the Planning Commission. However,we do
not advise that you go directly to public hearing if staff has identified issues in need of resolution
that can be addressed with a resubmittal.
After outstanding issues have been resolved and/or when you are ready to request a public
hearing,staff will set your public hearing date for the Planning Commission in accordance with the
Planning Commission's published schedule and as mutually agreed by you and the County. The
staff report and recommendation will be based on the latest information provided by you with
your initial submittal or resubmittal. Please remember that all resubmittals must be made on or
before a resubmittal date.

additional newspaper advertisement is also required twenty-two (22)days prior to the Board of
Supervisors public hearing. These dates are provided on the attached Legal Ad Payments for
Public Hearings form.
Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the
Planning Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The only
exception to this rule will be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the project
proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff that have not previously been brought
to the applicant's attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the Planning
Commission meeting.

application, b) request deferral of your application to a specific Planning Commission date as
mutually agreed to with staff, or c) request indefinite deferral and state your justification for
requesting the deferral. If none of these choices is made within 10 days, staff will schedule your
application for a public hearing based on the information provided with your original submittal or
the latest submittal staff received on a resubmittal date.
