Revision 1: November 15, 2019
Subject: SDP201900020 Old Trail Village (Block I & 3C) — Minor Amendment
The site plan amendment referred to above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County
Department of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC).
The Planner will approve the site plan when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers) have
been satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
[32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] Below are issues raised with the change in programmatic square feet for the Block 1B building. Please
address the following in the next submission.
a. In accordance with the Old Trail Village Code of Development approved by ZMA200400024, this block is
required to provide a minimum of 20,000sf of gross non-residential floor area (see attached table excerpt from the
Code of Development). Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn. Applicant demonstrated that minimum square footage
is provided.
b. The Code of Development permits an increase to 31 apartment units, however, the parking requirements to
accommodate the increased unit density are not shown. In fact, this application provides less parking than was
approved by a 2013 parking analysis and determination for Block 1 (see attached parking determination — pg 4).
Rev. 1: Comment replaced by planning review comment #5 below.
2. [ZMA200400024] Since the number of residential units is increasing with this proposal, provide on the plan a table which
demonstrates compliance with proffer #2 of ZMA200400024 regarding affordable housing. Rev. 1: Comment remains.
Thank you for providing material addressing the affordable housing requirement via email on 11/14/19. This
information will be forwarded to the Zoning staff reviewer for review/approval.
3. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Include the application number (SDP201900020) for this minor site plan amendment on the Cover
Sheet. Also reference that this is an amendment to the final site plan for Blocks 1B & 3C - SDP201300044. Rev. 1:
Comment satisfied.
4. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] In the Purpose section of the Cover Sheet, the plan should make it clear that this minor site plan
amendment is changing the building footprint and programming of the building on Lot 55-E1-C2 and that the parking
schedule is also being updated. Rev 1: Comment satisfied.
5. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] Update the parking notes to reflect any changes to the parking schedule. Rev. 1: Comment remains.
As agreed during an in -person meeting on 11/13/19, the submitted parking schedule and notes will be forwarded to
the Zoning staff reviewer for review/approval.
6. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] Include the seven (7) built townhouses in proposed use/density notes for this block (as was done in the
approved site plan SDP201300044). Rev. 1: Comment replaced by planning review comment #12 below.
7. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] The scale bars provided appear to be slightly off. Adjust so longer lengths scale correctly on the plans.
Rev. 1: Comment remains. Adjust scale on Sheet 3.
8. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Depict all existing lot lines on the vicinity map on the Cover Sheet. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
Comments based on revised materials (dated 5.29.19):
9. [Comment] Content. As discussed during the in -person meeting, due to the complexity of this development and to avoid
delays in future zoning clearances, this minor will need to incorporate the two previous LORs on the site. Please use the link
below to access and reference the approved Letters of Revision 1 and 2 online.

10. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] Purpose Statement. Remove the redundancy between Purposes 1 and 4; both state that the building
footprint is changing, but the redundancy could cause confusion in the future. Staff recommends simply removing the first
purpose statement.
11. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Zoning notes. The notes need to include all associated, approved proffers and variations. To do this,
add the following language to the end of the zoning notes:
"...and ZMA-2015-00001 approved on February 10, 2016.
Variation 410 approved to reduce the overall amount of required non-residential square footage in Block 3 from 10,000sf to
7,000sf, approved December 5,2012."
12. [Comment pertaining to 32.5.2] Notes. Additionally, in the general notes, please add and/or update the following to avoid
confusion in subsequent reviews/permitting requests for this development. (Note: See Approved LOR #2 for
SDP201300044 as a reference and perhaps starting point — link to document provided above. This plan was also done by
Roudabush, Gale and Associates.)
a. Owner information
b. Tax Map Parcel No
c. Parcel Area
d. Use by block — Condense current "existing" and "proposed" use sections and use a cloud to highlight what is
changing with this development proposal
e. Setbacks
f. Gross Residential Density
g. Bench Marks
13. [32.6.2(h)] Signature panel. It appears some signature lines got cutoff in the repositioning of signature panel on the cover
sheet. Revise the panel to resemble the following chart:

highlighting the townhouse developments instead of the block area being amended.
