Tim Padalino, tpadalinokalbemarle.org — No Objection (12/6/2018).
1. As noted above, this major site plan amendment cannot be administratively approved without the Board of
Supervisors' legislative approval(s) of SP201700022, ZMA201700008, and the associated Special Exception
request. The BOS is scheduled to conduct public hearings for these requests on June 13.
Comment 2 (8/14): BOS approved all of the above -referenced requests on 6/13. Addressed.
2. [Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a) and 32.5.2(a)J: Provide all information about all applicable conditions of approval and
proffers, including the application numbers of approved SP and ZMA applications which may be in effect, pending
action by BOS on SP201700022, ZMA201700008, and the associated Special Exception request.
Comment 2 (8/14): Not addressed — please further revise as follows:
Change the note on Sheet C.0 (cover sheet) from "Pending Zoning Amendment" to "Zoning" and add a
reference to "See Sheet R1.0."
bb Ensure documentation for all zoning approvals (Special Use Permit conditions, Special Exception
conditions, and/or Zoning Map Amendment proffers) are included, and are each clearly labeled, on Sheet
R1.0.
Comment 3 (12/6): Addressed.
3. [Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a) and 32.5.2(a)J: Add a note stating that the subject properties are located in the Rio
Magisterial District.
Comment 2 (8/14): Addressed.
4. [Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a), 21.7, and 4.20(a)J: Two of the proposed additions are not permissible as shown
on Sheet C2.0 without an approved Special Exception, due to the applicable setback requirements established in
Z.O. 21.7 and contained in Z.O. 4.20(a). However, Staff acknowledge the applicants' pending Special Exception
request which, if approved by the BOS as recommended by Staff, would allow for the proposed additions to be sited
as shown [partially located within fifty (50) feet of the rear property boundary and adjoining R6 Residential district,
which would otherwise be prohibited].
Comment 2 (8/14): BOS approved the Special Exception request on 6/13. Addressed.
5. [Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b), and 4.12.6J: The site plan appears to show 97 proposed off-street parking
spaces, five (5) of which appear to be designated to meet ADA accessibility standards. In order to determine if this
amount is compliant with applicable off-street parking requirements, provide a written schedule or other tabulation
which identifies the minimum parking requirements as calculated based on the proposed use(s).
UPDATE (5/25): A (draft) Letter of Determination from CDD-Zoning staff has provided a preliminary indication
(subject to final confirmation) that the proposed 97 parking spaces are acceptable for the proposed use.
Comment 2 (8/14): A Parking Determination (LOD2018-00003) was issued on 6/29/2018 stating that "the
proposed 97 parking spaces are sufficient to adequately support the development." Addressed.
[Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(n), and 32.6.2(k)J: Staff acknowledge that the Legend on Sheet C1.0 includes a
"Site Light," Sheet C2.1 designates existing light fixtures for removal, and Sheets 3.0 and 3.1 include existing light
fixtures to be retained — but the plans do not appear to include any icons for "Proposed Site Light(s)," and no
product cut sheets or other outdoor lighting information is provided in the details sheets. Provide information about
proposed outdoor lighting, including a photometric plan and location, description, and photograph or diagram of
each type of outdoor luminaire that may be proposed (as may be applicable).
Comment 2 (8/14): Not addressed — please submit required information for review. Staff acknowledge the
comment response that this issue is being addressed through coordination with the owner and design team, and that
the photometric information will be submitted as soon as possible. A lighting plan with photometric information
must be submitted. ed, and approved before the Final Site Plan can be approved.
Comment 3 (12/6): Addressed.
7. [Z.O. Sections 32.6.20) and 32.7.9J: Sheet L1.0 includes two notes that are partially contradictory: A note states
"Frontage landscaping to be improved with additional plantings. See note this sheet." and the corresponding
"Landscape Note" states that "At the perimeter of the site, existing vegetation is intended to remain and satisfy
buffer requirements. If needed, supplemental landscaping will be provided." Staff are concerned that the language
in these two notes is unclear, and will potentially create difficulty during the inspections process.
However, the intention to comply with applicable landscaping requirements seems to be clear. Therefore, to clarify
the language and to enable this issue to be more easily addressed and resolved during the inspections process (after
permitted construction takes place), revise the "Landscape Note" on Sheet L 1.0 as follows:
"At the perimeter of the site, existing vegetation is intended to remain and satisfy buffer requirements.
Supplemental landscaping will be provided if it is determined to be necessary by the Zoning
Administrator or her designees. Supplemental landscaping will include evergreen trees, such as
Eastern Red Cedar and American Holly. "
Comment 2 (8/14): Staff acknowledge the revised note on Sheet L1.0. Addressed.
[Z.O. Sections 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(0), and 32.7.1J: (Note: Advisory Comment — no action necessary at this time.)
Staff acknowledge the proposed reservation of land along Berkmar Drive for future dedication to Albemarle County
for public use (towards establishing a 44' wide ROW along this section of Berkmar Drive). To formally dedicate
land that has been reserved, a plat and corresponding deed of dedication will need to be submitted for approval and
recordation at such time that the County demands.
Comment 2 (8/14): Please revise the note about the approximate 44' future R/W being "reserved for future
dedication..." because it contains a small but important error (typo): "us" needs to be changed to "use." Please
revise Sheet C2.0 ("Existing Conditions"), Sheet C2.1 ("Demolition Plan"), Sheet C3.0 ("Site Plan"), Sheet C3.01
("Grading & Utility Plan"), and any other sheet containing this note.
Comment 3 (12/6): Addressed.
