STAFF REPORT - VA-86-23
APPLICANT: Belvedere Land Trust
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 61Z/03-1 (part of)
ACREAGE: 40.96 acres
ZONING: PUD (Planned Unit Development )
LOCATION: East side of Route 29, .6 mile south of
intersection of Route 29 and Route 631
The applicant seeks a variance from Section 4.15.3.5 of
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. This section, pertaining
to permitted signs, states:
"4. 15.3.5 Residential (R-10 and R-15) ; Planned
Residential Development (PRD) and Planned Unit
Development (PUD) .
Business Signs: Limited to wall signs with an
aggregate area not to exceed twenty (20) square
feet . . . "
The applicant , acting in the interest of Marriott Corporation,
seeks a variance to increase the size of a proposed wall sign from
the maximum allowable area of twenty (20) feet to eighty-five (85)
feet . The proposed sign would be internally illuminated and would
be located on the southwest portion of the structure. This loca-
tion will cause the sign to be viewed by motorists traveling north
on Route 29. The applicant ' s basis for the variance request is
the distance that the development is located from Route 29, thereby
causing a twenty (20) square foot sign to be inadequate.
The applicant appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeals
on June 10, 1986 (VA-86-12) requesing that an eighty-five (85)
square foot freestanding business sign be permitted. The Board
denied the request on the basis that freestanding business
signs are not permitted in a PUD (Planned Unit Development) .
RECOMMENDATION
The application should be approved for cause:
1) the applicant ' s "hardship" is the location of the
development in relationship to Route 29. A twenty
square foot wall sign is not of sufficient size to
be legible to motorists on Route 29
2) it cannot be determined if the applicant ' s hardship
will be shared by other properties in the general
vicinity at this time . Whether or not the hardship
will be shared, will be dependent upon the type of
development which occurs in the future. Any service
oriented business will have the same identification
problem

STAFF REPORT - VA-86-23
3) the character of the district will not be adversely
effected nor will the granting of the variance be
of substantial detriment to the adjacent properties.
