Dear J. Page Williams:
In response to your request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above referenced
Property, please be advised of the following:
1. The property is situated on a parcel of land lying in the County of Albemarle, Virginia,
consisting of 10.00 acres of land, more or less, and improvements, as more particularly
shown as Parcel B on a plat of William S. Roudabush, Jr., Inc., dated October 20, 1977.
2. The property is zoned Highway Commercial (HC) and subject to all regulations
contained within Section 24 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code ("Zoning
Ordinance"). The "Current Uses" of the Property of sales, service and rental of new and
used motor vehicles, including financing are by right uses within the Highway
Commercial zoning district. The Property is subject to the Entrance Corridor and Airport
Impact Area Overlay Districts as described in Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The site was originally constructed under site plan SDP-288, approved April 26, 1977.
The site has had several amendments with the latest being site plan SDP-2014-11,
approved October 24, 2014. The Property is subject to and appears to be developed in
accordance with these site development plans. Property records indicate that the
building was constructed in 1978. Therefore, the property is legally non -conforming with
respect to Entrance Corridor regulation which requires a Special Use Permit for outdoor
storage.
4. The Property and Current Uses do not violate any existing Zoning Code in effect of the
date hereof.
5. All requirements of the Zoning code related to ingress and egress from the Property to a
public street have been satisfied. The Property enjoys access onto Seminole Trail (U.S.
Route 29).

6. The County has no applications for rezoning of the Property, nor any special use
permits, or variance requests in connection with this Property currently pending.
7. There are no proffered conditions applicable to or enforceable against the Property that
would prevent use of the Property for the Current Uses.
8. There are no special conditions or time constraints applicable to or imposed on the
Property for the Current Uses.
9. There are no proceedings, pending or threatened, to revoke, rescind, alter, or declare
invalid any laws, ordinances, codes, approvals, permits or certificates applicable to or
issued in connection with the Property by the County of Albemarle, Virginia.
10. There are not any outstanding parking, zoning or code enforcement issues affecting the
Property. Previous zoning code violations for the Property included displaying illegal
signage as well as parking vehicles in the grassy area adjacent to Seminole Trl, but
those violations have been abated.
11. Copies of any applicable records may be obtained via the noted links or from this office
with a request through the department's Records Manager, Paul Bjornsen, at
