Specifics of Proposal: The Rosewood Village Rehab Services (Greenbrier) is an existing building. The applicant is requesting a special use permit to allow non-residents of Rosewood Village to use the Rosewood Village rehab facility for physical therapy. Although the property is zoned C-1, commercial, which allows physical therapy, the existing special use permit for assisted living, does not allow this use. In order for physical therapy for non-residents to be available, conditions on the existing special use permit must be changed. Applicant's Justification for the Request: The applicant wants to expand their services and offer their rehab services to patients not residing in Rosewood Village. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Community Service and the guidelines associated with the Community Service designation allow this form of development. Planning and Zoning History: The current C-1 zoning is the original 1980 designation on the property. C-1 allows various retail sales and service and public establishments by right and assisted living facilities by special use. On October 21, 1998, the Board of Supervisors approved with conditions, SP 98-43 to allow construction of an assisted living facility. The request was to develop a 60-bed facility that would provide residential, assisted and intensive living care 24 hours per day. On July 3, 2002, the Board of Supervisors approved with conditions, SP 02-018, which was an amendment to increase the maximum residential beds in the facility to ninety (90) instead of the previously approved sixty (60) beds. Attachment C contains the staff report for the SP, the minutes of the Commission meeting and the approved conditions. i Rosewood Village Rehab Services (Greenbrier) PC Public Hearing 8/19/08 'rrr, ,•••"' Comprehensive Plan: The Land Use Plan designates this area as Community Service in Neighborhood Two (2). The Comprehensive Plan allows for community-scale medical offices as well as urban density residential uses as long as the proposed use is compatible with adjacent land uses for a parcel designated as Community Service. Rosewood Village is in the vicinity of The Senior Center, The Laurels nursing and rehab center, Branchlands Retirement Community. Our Lady of Peace Nursing Home and Assisted Living, and the Jefferson Area Board on Aging. The expansion of the rehab services to non-residents of Rosewood Village is a compatible use for this neighborhood and remains in keeping with the Community Service designation. A full Neighborhood Model Analysis is not applicable for this project since it is an existing development and does not propose re-development, but proposes an expansion of an existing use. Staff Comment: Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance as follows: 31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, The facility will continue to house elderly residents and offer patients not residing in Rosewood Village rehab services at this facility. The size of the physical therapy office will accommodate 1-2 therapists treating one patient every 45 minutes to one hour; therefore, requiring a maximum of 2-4 parking spaces if the clinic is at full capacity. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. The parking available at the facility will meet the County's requirement of 1 space per 3 beds. With one patient every 45 minutes to one hour using the rehab services over an eight hour time span daily during the work week, staff does not see this as a high impact to the facility or adjacent property. Some of the patients of the physical therapists will be residents. The facility has adequate parking, therefore, staff can identify no detriment that this facility or expanded use would have on adjacent property that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and The existing site is established in the community. The proposed expansion of use will provide the applicant an opportunity to provide rehab services to non-resident patients. The character of the district will not change. The proposal is in keeping with the form of development anticipated with the Comprehensive Plan. that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, The purpose of the C-1 district is to permit selected retail sales, service and public use establishments which are primarily oriented to central business concentrations. It is intended that C- 1 districts be established only within the urban area, communities and villages in the comprehensive plan. The proposed physical therapy use is a service that is currently provided to residents of Rosewood Village. The applicants are proposing to make the service available to non- residents also. The physical therapy use is allowed in the C-1 district and Rosewood Village is located in the urban area. Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and identified no conflict that would arise as a result of its approval. with uses permitted by right in the district, Section 22.2.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, entitled Commercial, C-1, allows a variety of retail sales and service and public establishments by-right as well as those that are permitted by special use permit. Assisted living facilities are permitted by special use permit in C-1 districts. The number of 4 Rosewood Village Rehab Services (Greenbrier) PC Public Hearing 8/19/08 staff and potential number of patients using the rehab facility in any given work day is minimal. There is also adequate parking on the site. Therefore, staff does not feel there will be any detrimental traffic impacts as a result of the expanded use. The proposed expansion of rehab use is compatible with the other permitted uses in this district. with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance, Section 5.1.13 has restrictions for REST HOME, NURSING HOME, CONVALESCENT HOME, ORPHANAGES. The existing use meets these regulations. Removal of the restriction for the site to only be used for assisted living will not affect the assisted living use. and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The public health, safety, and general welfare of the community are protected through the special use permit process which assures that uses approved by special use permit are appropriate in the location requested. There are no expected impacts on public health safety or welfare, except to improve the opportunity for physical therapy services in an area which can support this use. Attachment F indicates that water and sewer service will continue to be available to the site. Summary: This request is to expand the rehab services use to non-residents of Rosewood Village. The rehab service use has been part of the assisted living facility that was previously approved with SP 98-43 and subsequently SP 2002-18. The availability of additional rehab services in the Greenbrier Drive neighborhood could be an asset for residents in the surrounding community. As previously stated in this report, staff feels the impact of this expanded use will be minimal. Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application: 1 The proposal for the expansion of an existing rehab use adds a variety of rehab services available within the Greenbrier Drive neighborhood. 2 The residents of the surrounding community may benefit from the opportunity of rehab services becoming available to them. Staff has not identified any factors unfavorable to this application. Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of SP 2008-018, Rosewood Village Rehab Services (Greenbrier) with the following conditions of approval: 1. This special use permit authorizes an assisted living facility. 2. Maximum usage is limited to ninety residents (90) residents in the facility.

The property, described as Tax Map 61W Section 2 Parcel 1, contains 2.1 acres and is located at the northeast corner of Greenbrier Drive and Westfield Road in the Rio Magisterial District. The property is zoned C-1 (commercial). The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Community Service in Urban Neighborhood 2. (Elaine Echols) Albemarle County Planning Commission Page May 28 Draft Minutes—Submitted 6/25/02 Attachment C Ms. Echols presented the staff report. (See the attached copy of the staff report.) She noted that the site plan was approved in 1998 with a minor revision that took the eight spaces down to seven at the top. The special use permit was issued in 1998 and was developed with this site plan; it would accommodate 60 to 90 beds. The applicant is asking for 90 beds. Staff reviewed this and found that there were no site plan changes that were needed. There were no adverse impacts anticipated. Therefore, staff could not see any reason why not to recommend approval of this special use permit. SPEAKER FOR REQUEST: Virginia Tahboub, owner of Rosewood Village, stated that they opened in September and have been very successful. Mr. Edgerton asked if the discrepancy came from someone writing 60 units when they mean to write 90 units. Ms. Tahboub stated that they had 60 units, which was the way that they developed the project. As it turns out, the building can accommodate a lot more persons. The Virginia Department of Social Services has said that when they did a space configuration that they could actually put 130 persons in the building. She pointed out that was because they had made such large suites. She noted that there was a point in maximizing the usage. Fire/Rescue has a maximum amount of 250 persons. She stated that they did have the capacity for a larger amount of residents if the need of the community grew. Mr. Edgerton stated that he was confused because that was different from the staff report. It was originally approved for 60. Ms. Tahboub stated that they could take it to 90 beds. Mr. Edgerton asked if they would request 130 for next month? He pointed out that the original approval was for 60 and now they were requesting 90. He stated that the staff report indicates that was a mistake. Ms. Echols stated that was the information that staff got, but it may have been lost in the translation. She noted that information came from a second source and not from the applicant. Mr. Kamptner stated that it sounds like the discrepancy is between units and beds. He stated that they have 60 units that could accommodate 90 beds within those 60 units. He asked if that was correct? Ms. Tahboub stated that it could accommodate 60 or 90 beds. Mr. Edgerton asked if that was based on square footage. Mr. Rieley stated that the bottom line is that the building does not change. He noted that the staff report did not indicate a problem with the total of 90. Ms. Echols stated that was correct. She pointed out that there is nothing on the site plan that changes as a result of this. The building can accommodate 90 beds without any problems. Staff has talked with the building inspector, Fire/Safety about meeting all of the Code requirements, and zoning about the number of spaces involved. The applicant meets all of that. The original special use permit approval was for units, but there seemed to be some confusion about that. When this came back in, zoning asked for clarity in terms of number of beds. Albemarle County Planning Commission Attachment (+ May 28 Draft Minutes-Submitted 6/25/02 .41100 Mr. Cilimberg stated that the point of confusion here is that the original approval was not for 60 beds, but for 60 units. He pointed out that now it would go to 90 beds because zoning wanted that clarification. They would not allow 90 beds in 60 units. Mr. Rieley stated that there would be no change in the way the building was used at all. Mr. Thomas noted that the facility was very nice and roomy. Mr. Rieley asked if anyone else wanted to speak regarding this application. Katie Hobbs, of Albemarle County, stated that at some point between the 60 and 90, that assumes that you would need more help for that. She noted that somewhere along the line there you would end up with a traffic problem in that area on that corner. Mr. Thomas moved to recommend approval of SP-02-018, Rosewood Village Amendment, with the conditions recommended by staff. Mr. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried Unanimously (4:0). The Planning Commission recommended approval of SP-02-018, Rosewood Village Amendment, to the Board of Supervisors with the following conditions recommended by staff: 1. Maximum usage is limited to ninety (90) residential beds in the facility. 2. No part of the property may be utilized for any activities other than those directly related to the adult care residence. This condition is intended to regulate parking; and 3. This special use permit authorizes only an adult care residence which provides an assisted living level of service, as defined in 22VAC40-71-10 as provided under the Virginia Administrative Code. Mr. Rieley noted that the Board would hear the special use permit on July 3`0 Attachment C
