Reverand Lansky,
Yes sorry for the phone tag and I have been at an office retreat for the
last couple of days.
So I have been researching co-ops a little, and we have decided that
Zoning will consider this accessory
to the approved religious assembly use (SP2003-073), thus permitted
without a Special Use Permit(SP)
amendment or a new SP for a private school. The educational co-op will
be permitted as long as it is the
parents that are the teachers and that it occur no more than twice a week
within the 8 am-5 pm
timeframe. These have been considered reasonable limits to keep it
accessory to the church and not a
separate use that requires an SP.
I hope this helps.
Francis

Hi Francis,
Thank you so much for returning my calls. I know this must be
a busy time
of year for you.
Since we're continuing to play phone tag, I thought I'd try to
outline
our questions for clarification.
We have a collective of families who want to use our space at
Unity of
Charlottesville, located at 2825
Hydraulic Circle in Charlottesville. This is not a school and
all parents
are registered (I think with the state)
as home schooling their children.
I understand from one of your voice mails that we have an SP
for day care
but not a school. While this is
not a school, we did check with the County Zoning Code, chapter
18,
section 10 under Rural Areas
District. Section 10.2.2. states under point #5 that private
schools are
permitted under this code.
However, as mentioned, this is an educational co-op, not a school. There
would be an average of 10
children meeting between 1-5 days per week. One of the children is the
daughter of one our paid staff
members.
We are seeking clarification from you as to whether or not this group is
permitted to use our church
space.
I am happy to speak with you via phone, or to meet with you in person.
Please let me know.
Thanks again,
Rev. Don Lansky
Co -Minister, Unity of Charlottesville
