Dear Mr. Greene,
The LOR application referenced above has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [Comment] Application. There has been a LOR to this site plan previously (approved December 9, 2013).
Please update the application materials to reflect that this is the second LOR.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Special Use Permit. On the Cover Sheet, please provide a note referencing the special use
permit associated with this LOR as well as the conditions attached to the permit (see attached list of
conditions for reference).
3. [32.5.2(a), SP2018000221 Conditions. Proposed Condition #3 of the special use permit requires proposed
landscape elements located in the stormwater easement to be comprised of species on the County approved
plant list. The proposed "Ilex meserveae" species does not appear to be on this list. Please review and
revise the planting schedule accordingly.
4. [Comment] Landscaping Plan. It appears not all of the original landscaping elements, as approved in the
original site plan, are reflected in the revised landscaping plan on Sheet S6. Specifically, shrubs
surrounding Buildings A and B seem to be left off. Please include those elements on the submitted
landscaping plan (see attached excerpt from 2010 site plan for reference).
5. 132.6.2(k), 4.171 Outdoor Lighting. The information panels for Proposed Light Fixture "D" were illegible.
Please submit higher resolution images so this information can be read and evaluated against the County
ordinances.
6. [Comment] Signature Block. Please remove the signature block on the Cover Sheet. It is not needed for a
LOR (LORs are typically only signed by the lead planner).
7. [Comment] Check spelling in notes/labels on Sheets S4 and ST Revise as necessary.
8. [Comment] The special use permit associated with this LOR, SP201800022, will need to be approved
before this LOR can be granted approval by the County.
Frank Pohl — County Engineer
9. Sheet S5 - 1st note in lower left corner of sheet. Change "If construction exceeds 6,000 SF..." to "If the area
of land disturbance exceeds 10,000 SF...".
Heather McMahon — Architectural Review Board. See review comments attached.
Kevin McCollum — Zoning. See attached parking determination.
Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The
Code is kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may be found on the County
Attorney's website which may be found under "Departments and Services" at Albemarle.org.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to
submit a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of
this letter the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer. If you
have any questions about the comments please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

SP201800022 — Proposed Conditions
1. Development of the use shall be in general accord with the conceptual plan titled
"Dogtopia" prepared by RJA Architect and Roudabush, Gale & Associates, with the
latest revision date of 2/4/2019, as determined by the Director of Planning and the Zoning
Administrator. To be in general accord with the Conceptual Plan, development shall
reflect the following major elements within the development essential to the design of the
development:
a. Location of outdoor play area and fence
as shown on the plan. Minor modifications to the plan which do not conflict with the
elements above may be made to ensure compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Outdoor play hours shall be restricted to no earlier than Sam and no later than 7pm.
3. The proposed landscaping within the stormwater drainage easement will be limited to
shrubs and small trees (as listed in the County approved plant list). No medium or large
tree(s) shall be planted within the easement.
4. Following the installation of all proposed noise mitigation improvements but prior to the
final zoning inspection, the applicant must perform a noise test in accord with County
Code § 18-4.18 and submit a report to confirm (to the County Engineer's satisfaction)
that the proposed use will not exceed a 65-decibel maximum, as measured from the
interior of the nearest tenant space.
5. A parking study shall be provided by the applicant, subject to approval by the Zoning
Administrator, to confirm that there are a sufficient number of spaces on site and to
ensure there are no parking conflicts with other shopping center tenants when more than
the seven allotted parking spaces are needed, prior to the approval of the site plan
amendment.
6. The fence shall not conceal any part of the triple window on the southeast corner of the
building or either of the 2 easterly brick piers.
7. The fence material and detailing are subject to Architectural Review Board review. An 8-
foot-tall fence shall have only bottom and top rails (no intermediate rails). The fence
color shall be coordinated with the existing building colors and is subject to Architectural
Review Board approval.
8. Landscaping shall be provided on the east and south sides of the fence to the satisfaction
of the Architectural Review Board.
9. No tinted or reflective films or similar materials shall be applied to windows visible from
the Entrance Corridor. Window glass visible from the Entrance Corridor shall remain

RE: ARB-2019-32: Rivanna Plaza [Dogtopia], minor amendment [fencing, lighting, equipment]
Dear Dustin,
We have received the above -noted application for a county -wide Certificate of Appropriateness. The following revisions
are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the County -wide Certificate.
1. Building elevations of the west, south, and east elevations of the existing building with proposed changes must be
submitted for review. Revised building elevations must include the west, south, and east elevations of the proposed
fence as well as the locations of the proposed wall -mounted light fixtures.
2. Provide the note about no tinted or reflective films will be applied to windows visible from the EC on revised
architectural elevations.
3. The landscape plan provided on S6 does not meet the previous recommendation that the "landscape plan [be] denser
[and] layered." A single row of evergreen shrubs interspersed by deciduous shrubs does not look naturalistic and is
not an appropriate arrangement for screening. Screening landscaping should be staggered in a minimum depth of two
rows: should be layered (i.e., tallest ornamental trees in back, smaller shrubs in front); and should have a naturalistic
appearance. Revise the landscape plan to provide appropriate screening and to meet previously stated
recommendations.
4. The landscape plan as well as the additional plant schedule on S6 suggests that 5 new MV (Sweetbay magnolia) are
proposed. However, the MV cannot be located on the plan. The label and arrow appear to point to four existing shrubs
on the property that are not labeled. Rectify this discrepancy and provide a larger landscape plan that is more legible.
5. Revise the plant schedule on S6 to correctly categorize the proposed plant species: glossy abelia is a deciduous shrub
and the Castle Spire blue holly is an evergreen shrub.
6. Note that two out of three species proposed are deciduous and will not provide year -around screening. With the
minimal amount of landscaping proposed, this is not acceptable. The landscape plan must provide a base of evergreen
screening in which deciduous and ornamental trees and shrubs are added for visual variety.
7. Note that only one of three proposed species is native to the region, the other two are non -natives to North America.
Also note that an ARB standard is that no proposed plant species exceed 25% of the total amount of proposed shrubs
and trees. This is to ensure that a monoculture will not be planted for health and sustainability reasons as well as to
provide the naturalistic planting pattern desired. The only way to achieve this is to add more species and variety to the
planting plan. Please promote natives (and especially natives that are local to the Virginia Piedmont) in a more diverse
planting plan. A list of plants native to the region can be found here: http://www.albemarle.org/NativePlants/list.asp
8. The landscape plan (S6) shows trees on the southern property line with tree -protection fencing. At staff s last site visit
in December, staff was unable to locate those trees on the ground. Conversely, the existing three Amelanchier
canadensis and one crapemyrtle mentioned in a note on S6, which are north of the southern property line, on the slope
and in the approximate location of the fence, are not labeled or marked "to be removed" on the plan. A site visit
would clarify what exists on the property today. Please rectify the planting plan to clearly show what has been
planted, what is proposed to be planted, and what is to be removed.
9. There are 20 ICST shrubs shown on the southern elevation of the building, which will fall inside the proposed
enclosed area. If these are to be removed, this must be shown on the landscape plan (S6).
10. No stormwater easement has been depicted on the plan set; if an easement around the 42" storm pipe exists, it must be
shown on the plans.
11. The luminaire schedule on S7 must be revised to include the three new proposed wall -mounted light fixtures. The
Numeric Summary table on S7 should also be updated to reflect the additional light values added to the site plan.
12. One proposed wall -mounted light appears (in plan view on S7) to lie east and outside of the enclosed area. Clarify
why this light is necessary if it lies outside of the fenced area.
13. The manufacturer's specifications for the lighting fixtures provided on S7 are too small and are illegible. Provide the
manufacturer's specifications on 8.5 x 11" paper for review.
Within 15 days of the date of this letter, please send me a letter (by email is acceptable) indicating whether you will or
will not proceed with these revisions. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve
your application. If you choose to proceed with the revisions, please forward me one set of revised drawings together with
a memo summarizing the revisions you've made. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review
period associated with your original submittal. However, I expect to complete the review of your revised proposal within
2 weeks of your re -submittal.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your
revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
Sincerely,
9d1b0*_*0

RE: ARB-2018-161: Dogtopia
Dear Ms. Long,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on February 19, 2019, reconsidered issues
related to ARB-2018-161: Dogtopia. By a vote of 4:0 the ARB took the following actions:
The ARB has no objection to the proposed use with the following conditions:
1. The fence shall not conceal any part of the triple window on the southeast corner of the building or
either of the 2 easterly brick piers.
2. The fence material and detailing are subject to ARB review. An 8-foot-tall fence shall have only
bottom and top rails (no intermediate rails). The fence color shall be coordinated with the existing
building colors and is subject to ARB approval.
3. Landscaping shall be provided on the east and south sides of the fence to the satisfaction of the ARB.
4. No tinted or reflective films or similar materials shall be applied to windows visible from the Entrance
Corridor. Window glass visible from the Entrance Corridor shall remain transparent.
The ARB offers the following comments to be addressed with the future site plan submittals:
1. Note that a Letter of Revision application will be required to update and amend the current site
plan.
2. A County -wide Certificate of Appropriateness application for Equipment, Fencing or Lighting is
required prior to approval of the LOR.
3. Provide a grading plan for review.
4. Provide a landscape plan that includes denser, layered landscaping on the east and south sides of
the fence, and particularly at the southeast corner. Include evergreen shrubs that will mature to a
height between 4 and 6 feet.
5. The fence shall not conceal any part of the triple window on the southeast corner of the building.
6. No tinted or reflective films or similar materials shall be applied to windows visible from the
Entrance Corridor. Window glass visible from the Entrance Corridor shall remain transparent.
7. Consider breaking the 72-foot length with material variation, surface relief, detailing, breaks, or
proj ections/recesses.
8. Revise the elevations to show the fence in its true configuration, with vertical posts and caps and
horizontal members.
9. If the SimTek material is used, choose an alternate color that is better coordinated with the
building materials. Provide a fence detail.
10. Provide information confirming that the SimTek material is durable and colorfast over time.
11. Provide a utility plan for review.
12. Provide standard mechanical equipment note to future site plans: Visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
13. Provide a lighting plan that includes photometric values, manufacturer's specifications, and
luminaire schedule for review. Include the standard lighting note on the lighting plan: Each
outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full
cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential
districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public
roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half
footcandle.
14. Provide the standard plant health note on the landscape plan: All site plantings of trees and shrubs
shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited.
Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant.
15. Provide a grading plan that shows all grading outside the drip line of all trees to remain.
16. Provide adequate tree protection fencing on future site plans submitted for review.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Heather McMahon

RE: Parking Determination — Rivanna Plaza SDP2008-90 Parking Study for Commercial
Kennel (Dogtopia)
Dear Mr. Greene:
This letter is an official determination in response to your request for Zoning Administrator
approval of the proposed commercial kennel (Dogtopia) parking. As recommended by the
Planning Commission, the following is an analysis and confirmation that there will be sufficient
parking on site with the addition of the commercial kennel use.
The parking schedule of the approved site plan for Rivanna Plaza (SDP-2008-90 "Rivanna
Plaza Final") shows 153 existing parking spaces on site. The proposed commercial kennel use
would occupy an estimated 6,800 GSF of planned retail space within "Building A", as shown on
the site plan. The parking calculation based on the approved site plan is provided below.
Parking Schedule
Retail: 5.5 parking spaces/1000 GSF
Total GSF of Retail on site: 19,029
Required Parking: 105 spaces
Daycare: 1 space/10 children + 1 space per employee
Required Daycare Parking: 47
Total Parking Provided: 153 spaces
Typically, for zoning clearances the parking requirement is determined by the approved parking
schedule on the site plan. Rivanna Plaza, as you can see above, was approved as shopping
center standard (10,000-24,999 GSF) and therefore the parking requirement for Dogtopia would
be that same parking formula. The Planning Commission, however, has asked us to confirm
that the site will have adequate parking using the commercial kennel parking calculation.
Based on the approved site plan parking calculation for shopping center, there are 37 spaces
allocated for the 6,800 GSF of retail space (5.5 spaces/1000GSF) in Building A that Dogtopia
will be occupying. In accordance with Zoning Code Section 4.12.6, the proposed commercial

parking for the proposed commercial kennel use.

RE. Rivanna Plaza - SDP2008-00090 — Parking Study
Dear Stephanie,
The Planning Commission recommended a parking study be done as a condition for approval of the Letter of Revision.
Please forward this information on to the Zoning administrator as a part of this submittal package.
Parking Schedule of approved site plan for Rivanna Plaza
PARKING SCHEDULE:
RETAIL: (FORMULA: 5.511000 SF GLFA)
GFA = 14,800 (BUILDING A) + 4,800 (BUILDING B) = 19,600/1.03 = 19,029 GFLA
19,029 GLFA/1000 = 19,029 SF X 5.5 = 105 RETAIL PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
DAYCARE: 200 CHILDREN AT 1 SPACE PER 10 CHILDREN = 20 SPACES + 27 EMPLOYEES AT 1 SPACE
PER I EMPLOYEE = 27 SPACES
47 DAYCARE PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
153 TOTAL PARKING SPACES REQUIRED (6 HC + 1 LOADING + 146 REGULAR SPACES)
153 PARKING SPACES PROVIDED (6 HC + 1 LOADING + 8 DROP-OFF + 138 REGULAR SPACES)
PROPOSED PARKING:
COMMERCIAL KENNEL - ONE SPACE PER 400 SQUARE FEET OF GROSS FLOOR AREA INCLUDING
RUNS, PLUS ONE SPACE PER EMPLOYEE.
2.5 SPACES / 1000 SF GLFA < 5.5 SPACES / 1000 SF GLFA
PARKING ALREADY PROVIDED FOR EXISTING RETAIL SPACE = (6,800 / 1,000) * 5.5 = 37.4 SPACES
PARKING REQUIRED FOR COMMERCIAL KENNEL = [(6,800 / 1,000) * 2.5] + 5 MAX SHIFT = 22 SPACES
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
