Reviews Comments:While acknowledging VDOT position expressed at interdivisional meeting 6 Jan to prohibit
advertising visible from Rt. 29 (auto sales/body work) unless entrance modifications consistent with
DOT standards are made—a single new customer would increase use (per VDOT definition), thereby
triggering current standards—in light of County Attorneys’ precaution against any such prohibition (7
Jan 2016; meeting/J. Newberry email: 1/7/2016 5:11 PM), Engineering does not object to SP to
permit a body shop in conjunction with the existing auto repair shop and proposed motor vehicle
sales.
Engineering notes that site plan or zoning clearance approval may reference or require a Certified
Engineer’s Report. Performance standards and Report requirements are listed at Code 18-4.14
/18-4.14.5. Land disturbance associated with SP appears to be zero; SP would not, therefore, lead
to stormwater management issues or requirements beyond those that already apply. ESC
requirements would not apply.
Although new business is anticipated to attract customers, effect of additional business service
offerings on peak turning movement from Rt. 29 with or without new offerings may not differ by much.
This opinion is not supported by data, one way or the other. Sales specials or events may of
themselves generate movement higher than current peak rates. VDOT concerns are not necessarily
misplaced.

Review Status:Requested Changes
Reviews Comments:The drawing submitted with the application appears to include notes from a previous proposal
identifying features that are not new or proposed at this time. The following comments are based on
the assumption that the only physical change proposed at this time is the provision of parking spaces
for the body shop use, the autos for sale, and for employees in the existing paved area.
The position of existing buildings on and around this site significantly limits views into the rear of the
subject property. The view is further limited by the distance from the Entrance Corridor (EC) and
vehicles typically parked in parking lots closer to the EC. These factors limit visibility to such a degree
that no impact from the proposal is expected on the EC. Please note:
1. No new signs will be approved with the Special Use Permit applications. Signs visible from the
public right-of-way require separate sign applications.
2. It is not clear whether any new fencing is to be added to the site for this use. If new fencing is
proposed, the location, material, height, color and design of the fence should be noted on the
drawing. Clarification of this item could result in additional comments.
