Division: Zoning

Subject: Initial Review Comments for ZMA2019-00001 999 Rio Rd E
The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above noted application.
1. General Development Plan
a. No comment
2. Code of Development
a. Under Table A: The following language is suggested for uses not listed. "Reference to uses not
otherwise defined or listed in this Code of Development shall be defined as listed first, in the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance or second, in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. If no
definition of the use is provided in any of the three noted documents (Code of Development,
Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan) then such use must be officially determined by the
zoning administrator to be permitted in a particular Block." You may provide alternative
language to consider addressing uses.
b. Provided Accessory Uses as BR in both the Residential and Non -Residential sections.
c. In Table C it is not clear what the percentages shown are of the area for each block and the
totals wind up being confusing. I figured it out, but the numbers could be better defined that the
percentages are from the .91 acres for Block 1 and the 1.037 acres for Block 2
d. Note 1 in Table D references build to lines. This note in Table D should be revised to be
referenced as setbacks as there is no listed build to lines and only references setbacks.

e. Parking — Note #2 under Table D references that the requirements of 4.12.6 will apply. Section
20A5e of the ACZO allows you to establish all requirements and restrictions associated with
each use delineated per subsection 20A.5(a). Surface parking is considered an accessory use
to the primary uses listed in the table. Please consider outlining separate parking numbers for
the proposed uses per this section and show that in a Use Requirements and Restrictions
section of your proposed Code. To that end please be mindful that the conceptual plan may not
currently show enough surface parking for certain mixture of uses even with a shared parking
agreement between different uses (residential and nonresidential). Please make it clear with a
statement in the Code that parking may limit the establishment of some uses that historically
require large amounts of parking and that uses will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
