1. [Z.O.32.3.1.(c), 32.4.2.5.(a), 33.40.C, and SP2018-07 and SP2018-08 Conceptual Plan and Conditions of
Approval] : CDD staff has reviewed this Initial Site Plan and has made the following findings regarding
compliance with the applicable Special Use Permit (SP) Conditions of Approval:
a. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 appears to be in general accord with the Conceptual Plan in
regards to SP Conditions of Approval #l.a, l.c, Ld, and Le.
b. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 is potentially in general accord with the Conceptual Plan in
regards to SP Condition of Approval #l.b ("Screening comprised of a screen fence (sliding gate),
screening fence, and landscaping"). CDD-Planning staff is coordinating with CDD-Zoning staff to
determine if the proposed location of the "opaque wooden gate" as shown on Sheet 4 (at the rear corner
of the proposed building addition) is in general accord with the "proposed sliding gate" shown on the
Conceptual Plan (near the front corner of the existing building).
Update 8/22: Staff has determined that the location of the "opaque wooden gate" shown on the
Initial Site Plan is not in general accord with the Conceptual Plan. Please relocate this opaque
wooden gate to a location in general accord with the Conceptual Plan by siting it at or near the
front corner of the existing building, and in front of the uses permitted by special use ("Motor
vehicle sales, service, and rental" and "Automobile, truck repair shops").
c. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 is in general accord with SP Condition of Approval #2;
however, please see VDOT review comments regarding required modifications to the design and
location of the proposed sidewalk.
d. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 is potentially in general accord with SP Condition of
Approval #3; this condition does not have to be addressed and resolved until the time of Building
Permit review.
e. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 is potentially in general accord with SP Condition of
Approval #2; this condition does not have to be addressed and resolved until the time of Landscape
Plan review (during the Final Site Plan review process).
2. [SP2018-07 and SP2018-08 Special Exceptions Conditions of Approval]: CDD staff has reviewed this Initial
Site Plan and has made the following findings regarding compliance with the applicable Special Exception (SE)
Conditions of Approval:
a. The proposed Site Plan shown on Sheet 4 appears to be in general accord with all SE Conditions of
Approval.
b. Staff requests, but does not require, that the following note be added to Sheet 4 and also added to the
Landscape Plan (during the Final Site Plan review process): "The existing canopy trees within the side
yard setback area that currently provide screening shall be protected during construction, and shall be
maintained to increase and preserve the health of the trees — including but not limited to cutting and/or
removing the vines growing up the tree trunks — as requested by the Albemarle County Planning
Commission during the public hearing to discuss Special Exception requests to modify the side yard
setback and disturbance buffer zone on September 25, 2018. "
[Z.O. 32.5.2(a)]: Please revise the Zoning information as follows:
a. In the "Project Narrative" on Sheet 1, revise the second paragraph to reference "two special exceptions"
instead of "a special exception," and add the date of approval of those special exceptions (11/14/2018)
for reference.
b. In the "Ordinance Tabulations" table on Sheet 2, revise the "Side and Rear — Minimum" information in
the "Yards" section to reference the two Special Exceptions approved on 11/14/2018 (involving
modifications to the side yard setback and disturbance buffer zone).
4. [Z.O.32.5.2.(e)]: Please show and quantify proposed limits of disturbance. (See CDD-Engineering comments.)
5. [Z.O.32.5.2.(b) and 32.5.2.(k)]: Site Plan Note 8 on Sheet 4 references an existing sewer lateral that will be
utilized for service to 1895 Avon Street Extended. Please add a reference to this existing sewer lateral and
available sewer service in the "Property Information" section of the "Ordinance Tabulations" table on Sheet 2.
Page 2 of 3
Currently, the "ACSA Jurisdictional Area Note" portion of that section references water utility service but does
not mention wastewater/sewer utility service.
6. [Z.O. 32.5.2.(p), 32.6.2.(j), and 32.7.91: (Advisory only; no revision to Initial Site Plan is necessary) — An
approved Landscape Plan will be required in conjunction with the Final Site Plan.
7. [Z.O. 32.5.2.(n), 32.6.2.(k), and 4.171: (Advisory only; no revision to Initial Site Plan is necessary) — An
approved Lighting Plan / Photometric Plan will be required in conjunction with the Final Site Plan. Staff
acknowledge Site Plan Note #6 on Sheet 4.
8. [Z.O. 32.7.4.2 and County Code Chapter 141: (Advisory only; no revision to Initial Site Plan is necessary) —
An easement plat would be required to establish the SWM Forest/Open Space Easement referenced in this Initial
Site Plan. Such an easement plat (with corresponding deed) would need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved
prior to County approval of the Final Site Plan.

other requirements.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
