STAFF REPORT - VA-84-58
APPLICANT: Worrell Newspapers
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 45-102
ACREAGE: 4 . 5
ZONING: HC, Highway Commercial
LOCATION: West side of Rio Road at the intersection
of Berkmar Drive and Rio Road
VARIANCE REQUEST
The applicant requests relief from Section 21. 7. 1 of the Albemarle
County Zoning Ordinance to allow the following: (1) a business
sign to be located at main entrap e 5 f et from the right-of-way,
a variance of 15 feet , (2) for '" ° t�e sign to be located 15

Section 4 . 15. 3. 7 to allow 3 freestanding signs , a variance of

AREA CHARACTERISTICS
The site was occupied by Charlottesville Hardware until Worrell
Newspapers became the owner . Adjoining the property to the east is
Phillips Building Supply, and to the rear is Mini Warehouses .
Residences are located on the north side of Rio Road with the
exception of the entrance of Greenfield Court which houses WWW
Electronics on one side and an apartment building on the other.
The parking area and building entrance is below the grade level
of Rio Road. The topography of the grass islands is higher than
the road level .
U-Store-It has an existing sign located on the west end of the
property fronting on Rio Road.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Urban Land Use Plan has all quadrants of the intersection
designated for commercial , except the one where WWW Electronics
is existing.
STAFF COMMENTS
The grass islands have been raised due to added fill , and trees
have been planted on them. Both areas on Berkmar Drive and Rio
Road have been redone in like fashion . The visual access has
been compromised since the grade level of the islands have been
changed. The trees furthrcomprom,,se visual accessibility. Due
to the above changes , the 30 foot getback area offers limited
visibility on the interior part of the site.
