A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The applicant has rights to a Dogtopia franchise in Albemarle County and proposes a SUP for an indoor kennel. This Architectural Review Board ("ARB") application for conceptual review is submitted to support the SUP application. The site is located within the Rivanna Plaza Shopping Center, zoned Highway Commercial ("HC") and is located in a heavily developed area of the County. The County Zoning Ordinance allows for Indoor Kennels with approval of a SUP in the HC district. The applicant proposes to locate a commercial kennel with daycare, grooming and boarding in the existing Mattress Firm building, with a small, fenced outdoor play area. The existing building design has been approved and is compatible with historically significant architecture of the county and the City of Charlottesville. Dogtopia will utilize state-of-the-art equipment, facilities and programs to reduce odors and noise levels, and it will employ healthy practices to decrease injury and illnesses. For a more detailed description of what Dogtopia facilities will typically include, like soundproofed playrooms, visit https://www.dogtopia.com/. The proposed hours of operations are: Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. — 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Commercial kennels are subject to supplementary regulations. Dogtopia will comply with Section 5. 1.11 of the Albemarle County Code. 2 37807786_3 View of the Proposed Site from the Entrance Corridor (from 29 Southbound): View of the Proposed Site from the Entrance Corridor (from 29 Northbound): 3 37807786_3 B. COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE ENTRANCE CORRIDOR 1. Outdoor Play Area A small outdoor play area enclosed by a decorative rectangular shaped fence or wall will be added directly adjacent to the side of the existing building, as shown in the exhibits below. The only entrance would be through an internal playroom. There would be no outside access to the play area. The side of the play area closest to the Entrance Corridor has been set back from the building by approximately 90 feet to minimize the visibility of the fence. This will help the fence be more compatible with the Entrance Corridor.

The design and materials proposed for the outdoor play area fence will be also support its compatibility with the area and the Entrance Corridor. Proposed Grading: To create a small pad area for the outdoor play area, the Conceptual/Sketch Plan shows a small area of grading around the fenced outdoor play area. The proposed contour lines from the approved site plan have been blended with the existing contour lines to show new grading lines. The approximate amount of earth -disturbing activity will be 4,000 square feet. Please refer to the enclosed Conceptual/Sketch Plan for a more detailed rendering.

Hence, the outdoor area fence will not be overly visible from the Entrance Corridor. The landscaping plan will integrate the fence and the building with the existing area and soften the view of the fence from the Entrance Corridor, and further supporting the goal of compatibility with the surrounding area and the Entrance Corridor. Current landscaping includes several bushes in the area near the parking lot and the side of the building, as shown in the exhibit above. The existing storm sewer pipe is near the proposed fence; thus, we are limited in the variety of species and size of plantings that are appropriate to plant in that location. Dogtopia will closely comply with the ARB landscape guidelines given that limitation. We have selected plant species consistent with other species on site and the landscape plan includes a mixture of bushes and ornamental trees to reflect our objective of softening the view of the fence from the Entrance Corridor and complying with ARB requirements. 2. Window Interior shades, curtains or blinds will be used for all the windows. 7 37807786_3 Eight (8) folded copies of written narrative
