Blessings, Pastor Green (434) 825-5369 Rebecca Ragsdale From: Rebecca Ragsdale Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2017 11:00 AM To: edenl827@aol.com' Subject: Tax Map Parcel 48-15A Attachments: SP200100017 Action Letter Special Use Permit 2002-05-23.pdf Pastor Green, Here is the information we spoke about and I wanted to summarize in an email for you. The County recently changed the name of the use "church" to Religious Assembly Use. The use is defined below. Due to a recent interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance and Federal regulation, the County must permit by right any Religious Assembly Use for up to 200 persons/seats without the need for a site plan or special use permit. The use will be subject to zoning clearance application approval. We have yet revised our checklist for review of a zoning clearance this use but the minimum items necessary for review are below. The site you are looking at has a Special Use Permit (SP) for up to 350 people at any one time. What this means is that if the Religious Assembly Use stays at 200 or less, then they can use the property by right with the approval of a zoning clearance. If the Religious Assembly Use were to go over 200 people, then they would be subject to the SP and all of the conditions noted in the attached approval letter. Definition Religious assembly use: A building or space primarily used for an assembly of persons to conduct worship or other religious ceremonies, including, but not limited to, churches, synagogues, temples, mosques or shrines. ( Parking requirement for Religious Assembly Use in the Rural Areas Zoning district In the rural areas identified in the comprehensive plan, the number of proposed spaces shall be shown in a parking study submitted by the religious assembly use; the number of required spaces shall be determined by the zoning administrator, who shall consider the recommendations in the parking study, traffic generation figures either known to the industry or estimated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, peak parking demands, and other relevant information. Nothing herein requires the parking study to be prepared by a transportation engineer. Zoning Clearance http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms center/departments/Community Development/forms/Zoning Applic ations/Zoning Clearance.pdf Items we will need during the clearance process: Location of all structures used for assembly, events or activities Location of parking Location of the entrance to be used - The clearance will be sent to VDOT to confirm entrance standards are met with your proposal. If VDOT proposes entrance improvements, you will be notified of their requirements and your zoning clearance will not be approved until VDOT has given approval. I have not had a chance to confirm if VDOT already reviewed/approved the entrance in association with the Merrie Meadows site plan (SDP 2001-17). If you proposed any new buildings, a building permit will be needed. If you propose new parking/buildings that exceed 10,000 square feet of disturbance, an engineering plan may be needed.
