RE: H0201900233 Bufton and Maus, PLC
Tax Map Parcel ID: 05000-00-00-04900; 7380 Gordonsville Rd
Dear Sir or Madam:
Albemarle County has received a request to establish a Major Home Occupation on the parcel
listed above. Per Section 5.2A (n) of the Zoning Ordinance, you are receiving this notification
because you are the owner or agent of abutting property or property immediately across the street
from the site under review. The location of the site under review is shown on the attached
vicinity map as #7380 Gordonsville Rd.
This request is to conduct a home occupation for a law office at 7380 Gordonsville Rd.
The Applicant indicates that the office is on site but is in an accessory structure other than
the dwelling. The owners will work typically 20-25 hours per week and will have no
additional employees. They expect only 2-3 clients per week on average and will park the
vehicles in their driveway. No waiver or modification of ordinance regulations has been
requested.
The County will not take action on this request until at least five days after the date of this letter.
We invite any comments, questions, or concerns you may have about this proposal. However, if
the application meets all ordinance requirements, it will be approved. Please contact Kevin
McCollum at (434) 296-5832, ext. 3141 or kmccollum@albemarle.org for additional
information.
All information related to this request is available for review in the Department of Community
Development during normal business hours (8 a.m.-5p.m., Mon -Fri). To assure the information
is ready for your viewing and to allow staff to be available to help with any questions, we

Subject: Major Home Occupation Clearance
Jack,
Thanks for allowing us to come out and visit the property again on Thursday. Since then, Keith and I have met with the
Zoning Administrator, along with the County Attorney's office, and have concluded that the Major Home Occupation
Clearance cannot be approved until we can confirm that the structure meets the applicable setbacks, which are:
Front — 75'
Side — 25'
Rear — 35'
We can confirm that these setbacks are met by either seeing a physical survey that shows the location and distance of
the structure to the property line or visibly seeing the property line in the field by clearly marked stakes. If the structure
does not meet the required 25' side setback a boundary line adjustment is a possible solution to the bring the structure
into compliance with the required Major Home Occupation side setback.
The Building Permit (B2017-02431-NNR) was correctly approved given the information we were given at the time. The
building was permitted as an accessory structure and no Major Home Occupation clearance was submitted alongside
the building permit. Therefore, the setbacks were front — 75, side — 6, and rear — 6.
