Re: Special Use Permit #2017-06 – Fortunes Cove Lane

BACKGROUND: This is a request for a special use permit to allow for the temporary parking of recreational vehicles/motor homes on property zoned A-1 in accordance with §4-1-10a of the zoning ordinance.

Public Hearings Scheduled: P/C – June 28, 2017; Board – August 8, 2017

Location / Election District: 1362 Fortunes Cove Lane / East Election District

Tax Map Number(s) / Total acreage: 57-A-3A1 & 57-A-3L / 79.28 acres +/- total, 0.933 acres subject to request

Applicant Contact Information: La Abra Farm & Winery, 1362 Fortunes Cove Lane, Lovingston, VA 22949; 434-263-5392

Comments: The requested use falls into the definition of campground per the Nelson County Zoning Ordinance. The applicants are required to provide potable water and sanitary facilities. The applicant has made arrangements to provide water to refill the internal tanks of the vehicles and for contracting sewage pumping from on-board toilets. A total of 20 parking pads will be available for rental; 10 of those pads will also have access to electrical connections. The parking pads will be located on a grassed area; no land disturbance is planned at this time.

DISCUSSION:

Land Use / Floodplain: This area is rural and agricultural in nature. There is an existing winery located on the property. There is a 100-year floodplain running through the property. Pads 11 through 20 are located in the floodplain, but no electrical hook-ups will be installed at these pads.

Access and Traffic: Property is accessed from Fortunes Cove Lane (Route 62-651 – AADT 60 trips per day). The additional traffic generated by this request is minimal. The applicant has worked with VDOT to create an ingress/egress plan that satisfies VDOT’s safety concerns for

2

the entrance requirements. Prior to final approval of the use, the applicant will need to revise the minor site plan to reflect the agreed upon traffic pattern to comply with VDOT’s request.

Utilities: Property is served by private well and septic systems. Potable water will be available to refill the tanks for the recreational vehicles/motor homes, and sanitary services will be available on a contract basis for the individuals utilizing the accommodations.

Conditions: The Planning Commission may recommend, and the Board of Supervisors may impose, reasonable conditions upon the approval of the special use permit. Conditions recommended by staff are that the site shall be developed in substantial conformance to the site plan submitted with the special use permit request including that no power hook-ups will be made available to the ten pads that are within the floodplain.

Comprehensive Plan: This property is located in an area designated as rural and farming based on the current Comprehensive Plan. This request is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

RECOMMENDATION: The approval of special use permits should be based on the following factors:

1. The use shall not tend to change the character and established pattern of development of the area or community in which it proposed to locate. This use does not appear to change the character/development pattern in the area.

2. The use shall be in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the zoning district and shall not affect adversely the use of neighboring property. This use seems to be in harmony with the current use of the property as a winery. A portion is on an adjoining property, and that owner has consented to the use. It does not appear to adversely affect the adjoining property owners.

3. The proposed use shall be adequately served by essential public or private water and sewer facilities. The applicant has made arrangements to ensure that the necessary water and sanitary needs are available.

4. The proposed use shall not result in the destruction, loss or damage or any feature determined to be of significant ecological, scenic or historical importance. There are no significant ecological, scenic or historical features that would be impacted by the proposed use.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request by vote of 6-0 with the conditions that 1) the site shall be developed in substantial conformance to the site plan submitted with the special use permit request including that no power hook-ups will be made available to the ten pads that are within the floodplain and 2) the applicant complies with the ingress/egress traffic plan that has been agreed upon with VDOT.
