Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice are required before a Special Use Permit may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. Applications reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals, however, only require one public hearing and therefore require just one fee for public notice. The total fee for public notice 4111 be provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body. Staff estimates the total cost of legal advertisement and adjacent owner notification to be behveen $400 and $450 per hearing. This estimate reflects the average cost of public notice fees for Special Use Permit applications, but the cost of certain applications may be higher. i Preparing and mailing or delivering up to fifty (50) notices $215 + actual cost of first-class postage Preparing and mailing or delivering each notice after fifty (50) $1.08 for each additional notice + actual cost of first-class postage Legal advertisement (published tvrice in the newspaper for each public hearing) Achcost (averages between$150 and $250) i Special Exception —provide written justification with application - $457 Other FEES that may apply: The full list of fees can be found in Section 35 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.

The applicant's proposal to extend their current daycare use to grade school students in 1St- 3rd grade is not inconsistent with the current daycare use of the abutting parcel, but the increase in numbers and ages of the children may increase the outdoor play noise. The applicant has stated they intend to use the existing playground area currently in use by the daycare for the grade school students as well. The applicant may mitigate sound impacts to neighboring parcels by limiting the school's operating times and before/after school care hours to those similar to that of the existing daycare. The other outdoor play area proposal of use of the neighboring Lutheran church playground or the community playground nearby could also be restricted to hours similar to those'of the existing daycare. 2. The applicant has stated that their existing daycare pickup/drop off schedule and circulation was created to minimize impacts on the neighboring commercial tenants. As they are proposing to replace one of the neighboring tenants, a traffic pickup/drop off plan utilizing the full parking lot for improved circulation should be considered.

Dated: November 3, 1998 ✓'�,�= - Charles Wm. Hurt, Organizer C:\WODATA\HURT\6389-arc-org 3-12/23/9. 13:52M Albemarle Montessori School Narrative of Project Proposal Albemarle Montessori School (AMS) seeks to use the space at 1562 Insurance Lane as an elementary school using the Montessori method of education. The space would contain one classroom, two bathrooms, and four office/storage areas. The classroom would hold up to 36 students and three staff eventually, but in the 2018-19 academic year,we anticipate 5-6 students and one teacher. The classroom would eventually hold children in grades one through six; in this current year, it would hold first and second graders. There would be one part-time staff member using one of the office spaces. In other words, the character of the zoning district would not be changed by the proposed special use. AMS is adjacent to 1550-1554 Insurance Lane,which currently holds Albemarle Montessori Children's Community (AMCC), a state-licensed daycare facility,which is a by-right use according to the County's Zoning Ordinance. The space between the two buildings serves as the fenced-in playground for AMCC. We would propose that this same playground serve as the primary playground for the elementary children at AMS. The Association Montessori Internationale currently accredits AMCC at its primary level; we would seek to extend that accreditation to the elementary program. There is currently a tenant in 1560 Insurance Lane (representing the rest of the building that would house AMS),but that tenant is terminating its lease on August 31,2018. The school will be open for the same hours of operation as the current, adjacent daycare center, 7:45 am to 5:45 pm, Monday through Friday. Parents drop off students between 7:45 and 9 am, and they pick up their children between 12 noon and 5:45 pm. 60% of the school's students in its first year are siblings of students currently attending the adjacent daycare facility. The benefit of this school to Albemarle County is severalfold: By matriculating students who otherwise would go primarily to County schools, AMS is relieving the burden on County school classroom and bus over-capacity. Second, there is no other AMI-accredited school in Central Virginia. By allowing AMS to operate, there would be another high-quality educational option for families on the north side of the County, thereby enhancing the richness of educational opportunities for County citizens. Finally, as the County seeks to enhance the amenities for the County citizens in the northern part of the County (example: the recent County exploration of a natural area along the Rivanna River along Rio Mills Road), the establishment of an elementary Montessori school in the area enhances the cultural identity of the northern Albemarle community. While there is no reference in Section 5 of the Zoning Ordinance to private schools, AMS would adhere to the same level of standards from state and local regulatory agencies as the AMCC daycare facility does. AMS would conduct fire evacuation drills and annual fire inspection as prescribed by the County Fire Marshall, an annual inspection by the Thomas Jefferson District Health Department, and all requirements of the Virginia Department of Education and the County Superintendent of Public Schools. Albemarle Montessori School Narrative on Consistency with County Comprehensive Plan The County's 2012 Comprehensive Plan speaks to the importance of careful use of land in the County. AMS is located in the Places 29 Development Area. In the Comprehensive Plan, the first goal in the Summary is that `Development Areas will be attractive, vibrant areas for residents and businesses, supported by services,facilities, and infrastructure"Anothergoal in the Summary speaks to `Albemarle's economy will be diverse, strong and sustainable, and retain and bent County citirens..." AMS provides a clean business that provides a service to residents primarily in the same development area, thereby enhancing the quality of life in those neighborhoods. Currently in the adjacent AMCC preschool,roughly two-thirds of our families either live or work in the Places 29 Development Area. This represents forty families currently. In the Comprehensive Plan section on Development Areas, the goal states that, `Albemarle's Development Arras will be vibrant places with attractive neighborhoods, high-quality, mixed-use areas...all supported by services, infrastructure...", etc. Strategy 2e pmmotes mixed-use development that pmmotes a `friendly blend of usefid services"It also states that "mixed-use can occur within buildings...". Strategy 2f states that the County will "continue to promote centers as focal points for neighborhoods and places of civic engagement:" Moreover, "a center may be a school orpark...': AMS will not make any changes to the exterior of the building, thus maintaining the profile of the current surroundings. AMS is providing an important service to the County by matriculating students who otherwise would • go primarily to County schools; thus, AMS is relieving the burden on County school classroom and bus over- capacity. By allowing AMS to operate, there would be another high-quality, accredited educational option for families on the north side of the County, thereby enhancing the richness of educational opportunities for County citizens. Finally, as the County seeks to enhance the amenities for the County citizens in the northern part of the County, the establishment of an elementary Montessori school in the area enhances the cultural identity and richness of the Places 29 Development Area. Albemarle Montessori School Narrative on Project's Impact on Public Facilities and Infrastructure Albemarle Montessori School will have very little impact on the community. The school will consist of one classroom that will use a current building without any exterior modification of the physical space or architectural style. The school will be open for the same hours of operation as the current, adjacent daycare center, 7:45 am to 5:45 pm, Monday through Friday. Parents would drop off students between 7:45 and 9 am, and pick up their children between 12 noon and 5:45 pm. Many of the students at AMS would be part of car trips currently counted for the AMCC daycare center. In other words, 60%of the school's students in its first year are siblings of students currently attending the adjacent daycare facility.The amount of car trips per day are substantially less than other by right uses for this property. The school will explore coordinating with the daycare center to establish a traffic pattern that allows circulation around the building in the morning instead of parking. Staff would open family's car door at a designated curbside, and the child would walk into the building to class. This arrangement has not been used to date out of respect of the tenant in the adjacent office space,but that tenant is ending its lease on August 31. There are ten parking spaces adjacent to the school and access to additional,nearby spaces. The access to Insurance Lane is from North Hollymead Drive, which accesses Route 29 by a traffic light, and South Hollymead Drive, which only has right-turn access to/from Route 29 North. AMS would use the current playground. To mitigate noise, the daycare center and the school would limit playground access at any given time to only a portion of the total student population. AMCC also erected a six-foot- high wall to block sound to the office building that is adjacent to the playground.
