Memorandum
To: Clint Shifflett (clint.shifflett@timmons.com)
From: Christopher Perez
Division: Community Development — Planning
Date: May 13, 2019
Subject: SDP201800090 AutoZone Store #6464 — Initial Site Plan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the
applicable reference, which is to the Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
[32.5.2(p), 32.7.9.5(d)] The property's frontage along Rte. 29 and a portion of Westfield Road are encumbered by a 40-foot
utility easement. The Ginkgo Biloba and Magnolia Virginiana plantings fronting Rte. 29 conflict with the Dominion
overhead utility line and easement. Additionally, 1 Ginkgo Biloba planting conflicts with ACSA's sewer line and easement
nearest Westfield Road. Additionally, 1 Magnolia Virginiana planting conflicts with ACSA's water line and easement
nearest Westfield Road. Prior to final site plan approval provide written authorization from the easement holder that the
proposed plantings are permitted within the easement. If authorization is not received, then the planting strip shall be
enlarged to accommodate the required plantings outside of the easement.
2. [32.5.2(1)] Existing and Proposed Utilities. Relocate all proposed plantings out of the gas easement. Currently two shrubs at
the rear of the parcel are within the easement.
3. [32.5.2(p), 32.7.9.5(b)] Landscaping. Based on the County's approved plant canopy list the plan incorrectly provides the
area canopy calculations for almost every plant listed. Ex) Ginkgo biloba "Princeton Sentry ": The County's plant canopy
list accounts for a 20 SF canopy for a 3.5 caliper, the site plan lists it as 397 SF canopy. Swamp White Oak: The County's
plant canopy list accounts for a 339 SF canopy for a 2.5 caliper, the site plan lists it as 368 SF canopy. London Plane Tree:
The County's plant canopy list accounts for a 422 SF canopy for a 2.5 caliper, the site plan lists it as 175 SF canopy. Revise
calculations.
4. [32.5.2(p), 32.7.2.11 The proposed entrances shall be designed and constructed as required by the standards of the Virginia
Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the proposed entrances to the site shall be required prior to final site plan
approval.
5. [32.5.2(n)] An easement plat granting access to proposed water, sewer, and/or stormwater utilities shall be submitted and
approved prior to final site plan approval. Provide the deed book page reference information for all existing and
new/proposed easements located on the property.
6. [32.5.2(n)] Any proposed outdoor lighting must be shown on the site plan. A photometric plan and lighting cut sheets must
be provided with the final site plan. Proposed lighting must comply with requirements of Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec 4.17 of the
Zoning Ordinance. In addition to meeting all lighting requirements a standard lighting note will be required.
7. [32.5.2(n)] If there is to be a sign for the proposed use, on the final site plan depict and label the sign location. (Depicting
the sign on the final site plan is not approval of the sign location or type).
8. [Comment] This site plan review did not review for a possible future use. This site does not appear to have enough usable
space to locate the required parking and landscaping requirements for a future building. Omit future phase terminology from
the plans.

Review #2
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, revised 4
March 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. As noted in our previous review letter, Access Management exceptions will be required
for both proposed entrance locations. Approval of both proposed entrance locations
cannot be guaranteed prior to review of these exception requests.
2. If an entrance is permitted via AM/E on Route 29, a right turn lane warrant analysis must
be provided.
3. The entire intersection sight distance lines, and profiles, must be provided on the plans.
4. Note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or
other requirements.
If further information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.

RE: ARB-2018-00160: Auto Zone #6464, Initial Site Plan, preliminary architectural review
(TM/Parcel 061 W0010A00300)
Dear Mr. Shifflett,
At its meeting on Monday, May, 6, 2019 the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board
unanimously voted to forward the following recommendations on the above -noted Initial Site
Development Plan to the agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5)
and recommended conditions of initial plan approval: None. Note that a Certificate of
Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The following items
must be addressed:
1. Revise the building design — materials, forms and features —to establish a cohesive whole.
This would include eliminating the false windows, revised cornice detail, revised pilasters.
2. Revise the building design to limit EIFS to a secondary material or eliminate it completely, as
submitted in the revised design on 516/19.
3. Revise the design to relieve the blankness of the left side elevation. Landscaping may be an
appropriate treatment.
4. Revise the color of the service door on the right elevation to blend with the building colors.
5. Revise the design of the front elevation to achieve a more balanced distribution of forms and
features, and a better proportioned upper wall area.
6. Revise the decorative band to provide a consistent alignment function for the building
features.
7. Revise the design to resolve blankness without relying on fake or awkwardly placed
architectural features.
8. Revise the trademark design to meet the EC guidelines.
9. Provide additional information on the proposed window glass. Provide specs indicating that
VLT is not below 40% and VLR is not above 30%. Provide samples.
10. Revise the building design to replace the false windows with architectural design andlor
elements that reflect local architectural traditions and contribute to a cohesive whole.
11. Show the locations of rooftop equipment on a roof plan. Show the locations and heights of
rooftop equipment on the architectural elevations..
12. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawings. "Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
13. Provide a complete lighting plan for review. Include a pole light detail that shows 20' as the
maximum height, including the base.
14. Increase the shrub planting size to 24" minimum.
15. Shift the Elm out of the sanitary easement.
16. Provide medium trees, 21/" caliper at planting, and shrubs in the grass area south of the
building to soften the building's appearance.
17. Revise the plant health note on L2.0 to read, "All site....".
18. Clarify how parking and landscaping requirements will be met in Phase 2.
19. Note that 3M 3630-143 Poppy Red and equivalents, and 3M 3630-44 Orange are not
approvable sign colors. Revise the sign drawings accordingly.
20. Indicate on the landscape plan the proposed monument sign location and show coordinated
landscaping at the base. Include a note stating that the sign location is shown for information
only: a separate sign application is required for review and approval.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application
forms, checklists and schedules are available on-line at www.albemarle.oLg/ARB. Please be certain
that your ARB submittal addresses the above -noted issues.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please fee[ free to contact me.
