~Agenda Item No. 5. SP-78-49. Jefferson Professional Institute and the Hoiden School
of Art and Design. To locate an office and private school of art and business on 1.42 acres
zoned~ B-1. Property on south side of Route 250 West approximately 1/4 mile east of the
Route 250 interchange. County Tax Map 60, Parcel 38. Jack Jouett District. (Advertised in
the Daily Progress on September 6 and 13, 1978.)
Mr. Tucker then presented the following staff report:
"This building is located between Appalachian RealtY and University
Heights Apartments. There are several offices and shops in the
building.
Jefferson Professional Institute has occupied this building since
September, 1977. Recently, with a change of ownership, the new owners
became aware that a special use permit was required for the operation
of the school and applied promptly. Jefferson Professional Institute
provides courses in business and art (commercial and fine art, graphics,
secretarial sciences, etc.). About 15 to 18 day students and 15 evening
students are expected with three full-time and seven part-time,employees.
No parking difficulties have been experienced in this location.
Staff opinion is that this use is compatible to the area and recommends
approval of this petition subject to:
i. Verification that parking is adequate for uses in this building."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission on September 5, 1978, unanimously recommended
approval of this request subject to the above condition. Mr. Tucker said a letter in support
of the special permit was received from Mr. David Carr, who represents the applicant.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Litinger, representing the applicant, was present
and noted no problems have occurred in the one year that the Institute has occupied the
building.
September 20, 1 8~ar--Ni~ht Meeting~
Mr. Tucker said the parking has been reviewed by the planning staff and appears to meet
the standards of the ordinance. Therefore, he did not feel the condition was needed.
Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to approve SP-78-49 with no conditions. Mr. Roudabust
seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 6. ZTA-78-09. Isotemp Research, Inc. Public hearing to request to
amend the B-1 zone of the Zoning Ordinance to provide for light electronic hand assembly of
components, etc. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 6 and 13, 1978.)
Mr. Tucker presented the following staff report:
"To amend the B-1 Zone to allow light electronic hand assembly of components,
small parts of sub-assemblies for different types of electronic equipment to
include premanufactured printed circuit boards, semi-conductors, quartz
crystals, crystal holders, electronic instruments and the like. Hand assembly
and hand processing may include soldering, electronic testing, and final
product assembly involving light equipment. The use shall be contained
in a closed building and shall not produce excessive noise, smoke, odors or
traffic.
This request is very similar to ZTA-?8-06 which the Planning Commission favorably
recommended by a vote of 8-1 (ZTA-78-06 was withdrawn prior to Board action).
While the staff opposed such use as inappropriate to the statement of intent
of the B-1 zone, such use as proposed in both applications is less intensive
than many uses provided by right in the B-1 zone. This use is provided by
right in'the M-1 zone which is intended to be compatible to residential areas.
In consideration of these aspects, should the Commission and Board choose to
approve this application, staff sees no reason to require a special permit for
such use. The following is the 'by right' provision from the M-1 zone ('and
testing' added):
Section 7-1-48 Assembly and testing of electrical appliances, electronic
instruments and devices, radios and phonographs. Also the manufacture
of small parts such as coils, condens~, transformers, and crystal holders.
Should the Commission and Board desire a more restrictive provision:
Section 7-1-48 Testing and hand ass'embly of electronic components and devices
from component parts manufactured off-site."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission by a vote of 7-1 on September 5, 1978, recommende
the following as a use by right: Section 7-1-48 Testing and hand assembly of electronic
components and devices from component parts manufactured off-site.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Lloyd Tignor, representing Isotemp Research, was
present and noted that there is no manufacturing only hand assembly of small components and
testing of such involved.
With no else to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Dorrier then offered motion to approve ZTA-78-09 as recommended by the Planning
Commission. No second was made. Mr. Fisher was concerned about the definition allowing
manufacturing and felt the more restrictive provision would allow the applicant to do what
he desired. This would still retain the distinction between the B-1 and M-1 uses. Mr.
Lindstrom did not feel there would be any type of activity to cause an impact necessary to
require a special permit. Mr. Fisher agreed. Mr. Lindstrom then offered motion to amend
and re.enact the Zoning Ordinance in the B-1 zone by providing for the following use by
right: "Section 7-1-48, Testing and hand assembly of electronic components and devices from
component parts manufactured off-site." Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried
by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Zachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 7. SP-78-53. Isotemp Research, Inc. Public hearing on request for
light electronic assembly of premanufactured electronic devices. Property on southeast side
of Route 29 North near City limits contains 3.71 acres zoned B-1. County Tax Map 61Z,
Parcel 03-2. Charlottesville District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 6
and 13, 1978.)
Based on the action taken on ZTA-78-09, the applicant requested that this application
be withdrawn without prejudice. Motion to this effect was offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded
by Mr. Roudabush, and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 10. Appropriation: Airport.
Mr. Agnor presented the following memorandum dated September 15, 1978:
"Reference is made to the briefing on the above project given to the
Board on September 13. The Airport Board on September 14 received the final
project costs ~from the design engineers, which are as follows:
September 20, 1978 (Regular--Night Meeting)
TOTAL PROJECT COST
Design, Construction, Administration
FAA Grant
State Grant
Local Share
$1,356,484
-1,145,278'
- 88,816
- 92,173
Balance to be funded by FAA and State in FY-80 $ 30,217
The local share is divided equally between the County and the City,
making each share $46,087. The FY-79 Capital Budget has $21,875 appropriated
toward this project. An additional appropriation of $24,212 will be needed
to proceed with the project.
The balance of $30,217 will be funded by FAA and the State Division of
Aeronautics in October 1979. In order for the project to proceed now, a
loan of $15,109 from the County and the City will be needed.
When the project was included in the Capital Budget requests in June,
estimates were made on the basis of an asphalt overlay only without knowledge
at that time of the base removal and replacement needs which were determined
from tests taken by consultants, and completed in early August. The base
repairs enlarged the scope of the project and increased its costs. Additionally,
because of the closing of the field to commercial airlines and the approach
of cold weather, the project specifications have a thirty-day time limit with
penalty for incompletion of $1400 per day. These factors have affected the
project budget.
The Airport Board was not pleased with the escalation of the project
or the time constraints. The FAA and State Division of Aeronautics have approved
the grants in accelerated fashion from FY-78 and 79 funds, except for the
$30,217, which has been assured in one year. The design engineer has
reviewed the bid and recommended its acceptance. The Airport Board has voted
to proceed subject to the approval of the County and City governing bodies.
It is recommended that an appropriation of $24,212 and a one-year interest
free loan for $15,109 be approved for the project. The source of the funds
should be derived from the Five-Year Capital Program, which has $2.05 million
in unallocated resources for additions or modifications to projects."
Mr. Agnor said Piedmont Airlines will generate additional funds to the airport and he
will report, at a later date, the funds generated in excess of the operating budget. He
said that hopefully funds will be generated for handling these type of projects, eventually
making the airport self-sufficient. Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta to approve the
loan for the Joint Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport improvements in the amount of $15~109
as an interest free loan for one year from the General Capital Outlay Fund and to adopt the
following resolution appropriating the County's share of the additional cost of this project:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
~.Virginia that $24,212 be, and the same hereby is appropriated from the
General Capital Outlay Fund to Code 19J for the Joint Charlottesville-
Albemarle Airport Improvements.
Mr. Dorrier seconded the foregoing motion and same carried by the following recorded
vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 11. Approval of Minutes - March 29, 1978.
Dr. Iachetta noted two corrections on page 162: First paragraph, third line, change
the word "upstructs" to "obstructs" and second paragraph, first line change the word "Riapal"
to "Riopel". Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to approve the minutes of March 29,
1978, with the above noted corrections. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and same carried
by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 8. SP-78~50. Albemarle County Service Authority. For expansion of
the Camelot Treatment Plant on 1.23 acres zoned M-1 Industrial Limited. Property on north
side of the North Fork of the Rivanna River ~approximately 1000 feet east of Route 29 North..
County Tax Map 32, Parcel 5D. Rivanna Magisterial District. (Advertised in the Daily
Progress on September 6 and 13, 1978.)
Mr. Tucker then presented the following staff report:
"Badger Powhatan and Ward's Mobile Homes are located between this site and
Route 29 North. Other properties in the immediate vicinity are wooded. The
proposed expansion would increase sewage treatment capacity from 40,000 gpd
.to 215,000 gpd. This expansion (minus 17,000 gpd for General Electric) would
provide capacity for an equivalent of 400 residential connections.
St~ff makes the following observations:
Comprehensive Plan: Although the Comprehensive Plan does not refer
directly to the Camelot plant, the service area recommended in the plan
appears to include the existing developed Camelot. The plan does not
recognize existing high density and commercial zoning in the area.
Se~tem e~~Re ular--Ni ~ht MeetinE~
Jurisdictional Area: The Planning Commission recommended new
jurisdictional areas for the Service Authority in January 1978, but the
Board of Supervisors has not taken action on these recommendations.
Service from the Camelot plant is available to those properties within
the existing jurisdictional areas.
Existing Zoning: Much of the existing zoning in the area does not comply
with the Comprehensive Ptan. Increased sewage treatment capacity would
encourage development of these properties at a more intensive level.
Recent County Actions: Recent approvals in the area include General Electric,
University Village, and a rezoning of 42 acres to industrial near the
airport. These developments alone require an estimated 70,150 gpd.
Relief to Meadow Creek Sewage Treatment Plant: The 42 industrial acres
near the Airport in the proposed industrial park may be better served by
the Camelot STP than the Meadow Creek STP due to the pumping involved.
If the industrial park is approved, an estimated 68,750 gpd would be required.
In staff opinion, a major problem is created by the fact that much of the zoning
in this area is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. At the same time, the
County has recently approved developments which require public sewer. The staff
feels that the proposed expansion is consistent with existing zoning and recent
County approvals and recommends approval of this petition. However, if there
is concern that such capacity could be used for the development of properties
zoned in conflict with recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan, such properties
should be rezoned accordingly.
Conditions of approval
1. Approval of appropriate local, state, and federal agencies."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission on September 5, 1978, unanimously recommended
approval with the above condition and the following condition:
Approval is not to be deemed as approval of any subsequent rezoning or
development requests on these properties.
Mr. E. E. Thompson, Executive Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, was
present and presented to the Board a map showing eleven parcels which are in the current
jurisdictional boundaries of the Albemarle County Service Authority; such parcels contain A-
1, M-I,.~B-1, R-1 and R-3 zoning which could be developed to a maximum of 1973.1 residential
units, plus 82.2 non-residential connections. He said persons developing University Village
originally approached the Service Authority requesting water and sewer service. Also,
public utilities were a requirement placed on General Electric's site plan approval. At the
same time, Mr. Wendell Wood, owner of the parcels shown on the map, approached the SerVice
Authority and requested that he be allowed to pay for expansion of the Camelot plant. The
Service Authority did not want this excess capacity to be owned by an individual, so requested
a listing of the parcels that were intended for use. The map presented tonight shows the
applicant's desires. University Village did not proceed with their request, leaving Just
General Electric (which needs 17,000 gallons per day) and Mr. Wood (the remainder or 158,000
gallons per day.
Mr] Henley asked if Mr. Wood would accept a reduction in the capacity he had requested.
Mr. Thompson said he did not know. The Service Authority does not want to become involved
in zoning problems and have presented Mr. Wood's request as made to them. Mr. Henley asked
Mr. St. John if the Board can limit the number of connections to certain parcels of land.
Mr. St. John said the question before the Board tonight is whether this requested expansion
is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan. Virginia Code Section 15.1-456 says this expansion
cannot be made if it is not in accord, however, there is a problem in that the Comprehensive
Plan does not recognize existing zoning in this area.
~The public hearing was opened. Speaking first was Mr. Fred Landess, representing
General Electric. He said it is hoped the expansion of the Camelot Plant occurs before the
second phase of General Electric begins. He noted General Electric will pay for the expansion
requested for them.
Mr. Max Evans, representing Mr. Bill Heishman, owner of properties on the east side of
Route 29 North which are already zoned for commercial and industrial uses, spoke next. Mr.
Evans asked if this expansion is approved tonight, if it will affect any future expansion
when Mr. Heishman's is ready to develop his properties.
With no one else to speak, the public hearing was closed.'
Mr. Lindstrom did not object to the expansion for General Electric or the recently
rezoned 42 acres or other existing needs in the.area, but could not support expansion for
the requested industrial park area because same has not been rezoned. Approval of the
request would encourage high density residential development in this area when same is in
conflict with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. The County is in the process
of revising the Zoning Ordinance and he felt such a decision would affect other decisions
with respect to future land uses in the area~
Mr. Fisher felt if zoning of certain parcels in the area is in conflict with the Comprehe]
Plan, then these properties should be rezoned. Dr. Iachetta felt the area contains too much
high-density zoning at this time· Mr. Lindstrom agreed but did not feel zoning was the
question tonight. The decision should be limited to the request for expansion. He noted
concern is stated in the Comprehensive Plan about expansion~of utilities since such is the
foundation for growth. Therefore, Mr. Lindstrom felt the Comprehensive Plan would have
mentioned the Camelot Plant if it was to be considered for expansion.
Mr. Fisher said action taken by the Board earlier this year to rezone 42 acres to M-1
........ ~^~ ~.,~ ~ ~~~r~ D~ ~~ ~a~e_ which ~s ~resentlv in the
sive
September 20, 1978 (Regular--Night Meeting)
provide these properties with adequate sewage treatment facilities. The question of other
properties in the area which are zoned at a higher density than that recommended by the
Comprehensive Plan cannot be addressed by the Board at this time. Therefore, he felt the
only approval consistent with the Comprehensive Plan would be to expand the plant by 25,000
gallons per day and limit that expansion to the General Electric property and the 42 acres
of M-1 zoning.
Mr. Roudabush said undeveloped land within the Camelot area totals 133 acres of resident~
land which would use up the 400 equivalent connections. That would be a density of three
units per acre. He felt Camelot would grow residentially to use up those connections. Mr.
Roudabush felt it was unwise not to take this opportunity to expand the plant for future
growth at no cost to the Service Authority.
At this time, the public hearing was reopened. Mr. Wendell Wood was present in support
of the request. He noted that the sewer plant was built with private money and then taken
over by the Service Authority. He said no public funds are being requested for this expansion
With no one else to speak, the public hearing was again closed.
At 9:10 P.M., the Board recessed and reconvened at 9:20 P.M.
Mr. St. John said this request is before the Board because Virginia Code Section 15.1-456
requires the Planning Commission to determine that any expansion of a public facility is in
accord with the Comprehensive Plan. The application also requires a special use permit
under the Zoning Ordinance. This expansion may not be carried out unless the Board affirmativ
approves same.
Mr. Dorrier said he realizes there is a problem in that the Comprehensive Plan does not
recognize the Camelot Plant, bUt he is not convinced that this requested expansion would not
be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. He then offered motion to approve the expansion
with the two conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Roudabush seconded the
motion.
Mr. Henley supported the expansion because he felt the Comprehensive Plan was only a
guide and he could not understand why the Plant was not recognized for future expansion.
Mr. Lindstrom felt such action would have the effect of amending the Comprehensive Plan
without actually making an amendment based on facts. This would be a disservice to the
supPorters of the Plan and subsequently weaken the Plan. Mr. Henley felt if the matter was
taken to court, the Board would be on shaky ground since the Plan did not recognize the
Plant in this area with high density residential zoning. Mr. Roudabush felt more things
should be taken into consideration than just the Comprehensive Plan. He then noted the
recent approval of the RPN and the 42 acres. Dr. Iachetta could not support the motion;
however, he could support expansion for General Electric and the 42 acres. Roll was called
on the foregoing motion and same failed by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Henley and Roudabush
Messrs. Fisher, Iachetta and Lindstrom.
Mr. Lindstrom said an action which would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
would be to allow expansion for the 42 acres and General Electric. Mr. Roudabush said the
Board ~as already established the jurisdictional areas of the Service Authority and that is
all the Board should do. He felt allocation of capacity should be the responsibility
Service Authority. He then offered motion to approve the application for a total capacity
of 115,000 gallons per day at the Camelot Plant; this being a 75,000 gallon expansion. Mr.
Fisher asked Mr. Roudabush if he intended to designate the areas to be served. Mr. Lindstrom
said he could not support the motion if the areas were not designated. Mr. St. John said
that was not before the Board. The only approval the Board can give is for the expansion of
the plant and the location of sewer mains and transmission lines. Mr. Thompson felt based
on the size and capacity of the plant, transmission lines would not be needed, only distributi
lines. Mr. Lindstrom said he could support an expansion of 25,000 gallons per day without
designation, but he felt to allow the 115,000 gallons without designating the parcels was
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Roudabush did not feel the Board should
designate the areas to be served. Mr. Dorrier then seconded the foregoing motion. Roll was
cali~d and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
Messrs. Fisher and Linds'trom.
At 10:00 P.M., the Board recessed and reconvened at 10:05 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 9. ZTA. Resolution of intent to amend Section 16~3!~(d~£inition of
"family") of the County Zoning Ordinance. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 6
and 13, 1978.)
Mr. Tucker then read the following staff report:
"On August 9, 1978, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution of intent
to amend S~ction 16-31, the definition of "family" The existing ambiguous
definition has long been a problem which has not been addressed due to
pending revisions of the ordinance. Recently a conflict has arisen over
this definition and the Board has chosen to proceed with the amendment.
The purpose of this amendment is to clarify and limit the definition of family.
Staff recommends a definition similar to that employed by Charlottesville
which provides for reasonable accommodation of unrelated individuals. A major
difference in the staff proposal is that item "C" would not apply to the RS-1
and R-1 zones since item "c" does not appear compatible to the statements of
intent of these zones.
P.rpposed Amendment
433
September 20, 1978 (Regular--Night Meeting)
(a) an individual;
(b) two or more persons related by blood, marriage, adoption,
guardianship, and/or not more than tw~Dmm~e~a~efaperaons
living together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling
or dwelling unit;
(c) for the purposes of this ordinance the following shall not
apply to the RS-1 Residential Suburban and R-1 Residential
Limited districts: a group of not more than four persons
not related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship
living together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling
or dwelling unit.
The Commission and Board may wish to consider increasing the number of persons,
under item "c", from four to six, because of the large number of estates, farmhouses,
etc., which could easily support six persons. This of course would not be applicable
to the RS-1 and R-1 Districts."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission on September 5, 1978, recommended by a vote of
7-1 the following definition which is very restrictive:
Section 16-31
Family: An individual or two or more persons related by blood,
marriage, adoption, or guardianship, and not more than one
unrelated person living together as a single housekeeping unit
in a dwelling or dwelling unit.
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission's recommendation would prohibit the problem of
massive number of students living in cottages. However, after this definition was recommende(
by the Planning Commission, they adopted a resolution of intent to clarify the term "family"
when used to mean unrelated persons.
Mr. Fisher suggested inserting "or" at the end of item "a" and item "b" in the staff's
proposal. Mr. Tucker then read the following paragraph from memo dated Setpember i, 1978
from Mr. Benjamin Dick, Zoning Administrator: "In my opinion, the Planning Commission's
recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the definition of "family", limiting the
number of unrelated persons to two, will present a monumental zoning enforcement task, and
unless pursued uniformly across the County will cause inequitable results. The very enforcem(
task itself will be most distasteful to all concerned. The only other plausible alternative
is to allow boarding house situations by special use permits in specific zones."
The public hearing was then opened.
Mr. Buck Moskalski was present and supported the definition recommended by the Planning
Commission and emphasized that the Board must protect R-1 zoning.
Ms. Sylvia McKay noted that the problem is not with couples but more so with individuals
Ms. Julie Arnette, resident of Buckingham Circle, noted many places where students live
becomes an eyesore through neglect.
Speaking next in support of the Planning Commission recommendation was Mr. Bob Harrison.
With no one else present to Speak, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Fisher felt the Planning Commission's recommendation was too restrictive. He did
not feel the problem was that drastic in the A-i, R-2 or R-3 zones and felt it was unreasonab
and unenforceable in all parts of the County. Mr. Dorrier agreed. Mr. Lindstrom also
agreed and did not feel%~ke A~I zcnc should be-over restr~- ~. .'.~:. he R ! zone.
Therefore, he supporte,d~,the staff's recom4n.~endation
Dr. Iachetta felt four unrelated persons are not a family. He suggested separating "C"
of the staff's recommendation and making it the definition for "group" Mr. Lindstrom said
if you make that a separate definition then the rest of the zoning ordinance has to be
amended. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to amend the zoning ordinance to include
the definition of "family" as proposed by the staff, making the following corrections:
Insert "or" after paragraphs (a) and (b) and change "four" to "six" in paragraph (c). Mr.
Dorrier seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: Dr. Iachetta.
Not Docketed. Mr. Agnor noted that~the City plans to close the overlook on the north
side of the Rivanna River Reservoir on Route 6~3.
Mr. Fisher requested a joint meeting with City Council for October 5, 1978 at 7:30 P.M.
in the City Hall Basement Conference Room to discuss plans for the new Regional Library
Building- ~ .....................
~ Agenda Item No. 12. At 10:40 P.M., motion was offered by Dr Iachetta to adjourn to
September 27, 1978 at 2:00 P.M. in the Board Room of the County Office Building. Mr. Dorrier
