SDP201900058 2415 Ivy Road Commercial Redevelopment Plan - Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Collins:
Pursuant to Albemarle County Code §32.4.2.1(c) the above referenced initial site plan is deemed incomplete
and shall not be accepted for official submittal by the agent. Below I offer the reasons for the disapproval. In
order for the initial site plan to be accepted as officially submitted, please revise the plan to address the
following within 15 days of this notice:
[32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(s), 22.2.2(15)] Information regarding the proposed use. The warehouse use requires a
Special Use Permit in the C-1 Zoning district. If the warehouse is not completely accessory to other uses
onsite it will require a Special Use Permit. The level of a use deemed accessory will be subject to review
and determination by the Zoning Administrator. If a Special Use Permit is required, prior to conditional
approval of the initial site plan the Special Use Permit shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors. On
the site plan clarify the proposed warehouse use; specifically, how much square footage of the warehouse
use is used for each of the various proposed uses onsite, and clarify which uses?
Based on conversations with the applicant there is no warehouse use proposed; rather, the proposed use is
office. Update the site plan to reflect the correct uses. Also, provide the location of the office use within the
building.
2. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(s), 22.2.1(18)] Information regarding the proposed use. Once the above warehouse use is
clarified, will the Manufacturing/Processing/Assembly/Fabrication use remain below the 4,000 SF
threshold, or will this use go over 4,000 SF thereby requiring a special exception? If a special exception is
required please make the request and provide the appropriate justifications. Prior to conditional approval of
the initial site plan the special exception shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
3. [32.5.2(1) Existing and proposed utilities. Depict the location of the existing gas line and gas easement.
4. [32.5.2(j)] Existing sewer and drainage facilities. Depict the location and size of the existing water and
sewer facilities to the building.
5. [32.5.2(k)] Proposed sewer and drainage facilities. Depict the conceptual layout for the water and sewer
facilities.
6. [32.5.2(k)] Proposed sewer and drainage facilities. Depict the direction of flow in all pipes and
watercourses with arrows.
7. [32.5.2(q)] Traffic generation figures. Provide traffic generation figures for the site based on current
Virginia Department of Transportation rates; indicate the estimated number of vehicles per day and the
direction of travel for all connections from the site to a public street.
8. [32.5.2(m)] Ingress and egress. Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest street intersection from
the proposed ingress and egress.
9. [32.5.2(a)] General information. Provide the present uses of abutting parcel.
10. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. Depict and label the loading and service areas.
While not a reason for this plan to be deemed incomplete, below I offer additional revisions that should take
place otherwise they will be conditions of initial site plan approval.
1. [32.5.2(b), SP2004-21, 4.12] Information regarding the proposed use. The Zoning Administrator
previously determined through a parking determination that 8 parking spaces are required for the Ballet
School. Revise the parking analysis on sheet 3 to utilize the above parking calculation for the Ballet School.
2. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(s), 22.2.2(15)] The parking analysis on sheet 3 lists "Warehouse: 4,000 SF (part of the
Office Building)" on TMP 60-2513; however, there is not an approved warehouse use on that property. Per
conversation with the applicant this use is truly office. Revise the parking analysis.
3. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(s), 22.2.1(18)] Information regarding the proposed use. Throughout the plan ensure the
square footages of all proposed uses are consistent.
4. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and Proposed Improvements. Depict and label the proposed paving materials for all
walkways, parking lots, and dumpster pads.
5. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and Proposed Improvements. Dimension all parking spaces onsite.
Within fifteen (15) days after the date this notice of disapproval is provided to the applicant, the developer may
resubmit the initial site plan, as provided by Albemarle County Code §32.4.2.l(d). If a revised plan is not received
within 15 days, the plan shall be deemed to be disapproved and a new application and fee shall be required for
submittal of the plan.
Sincerely,
Christopher Perez, Senior Planner
