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 I 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 Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn.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. Rev. 2: See Zoning staff comment below. Rev. 3: Planning will defer to the Zoning reviewer on the continued review of this aspect. 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. Evaluation by Zoning staff found that the updated parking analysis was consistent with prior determinations, as stated via email on 12/18/2019. 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. 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 5.29.2019): 9. [Comment] Content. As discussed during an 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. https: //Ifweb. albemarle. org/webl ink/search. aspx?dbid=3 & searchcommand=%7b%5 bCDD- Planning%5 d: %SbAppl icationNumber%5d=%22 SDP201300044%22 %7d&cr=1 Rev. 2: This comment was fully addressed. However, see review comments 1 Ob-c below. Rev. 3: Comment addressed. Thank you. 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. Rev. 2: Follow up comment based on the revised Purpose Statement Section: a. Include the change to the Lighting Plan in the Purpose Statement for this Minor Site Plan Amendment. b. For LOR #1, revise the statement to clearly note that the outdoor lighting plan is being revised with this amendment and that a revised lighting plan is provided on Sheet 14. c. For LOR 42, indicate at the end of the statement that changes approved with LOR #2 are not reflected in this plan. Rev. 3: Comment addressed. 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 # 10 approved to reduce the overall amount of required non-residential square footage in Block 3 from 10,000sf to 7,OOOsf, approved December 5, 2012." Rev. 2: Comment satisfied. 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 42 for SDP201300044 as a reference and perhaps starting point — link to document provided above. This plan was also done by Roudabush, Gale and Associates.). Rev. 2: Information sufficient. a. Owner information b. Tax Map Parcel 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. Benchmarks 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: APPROVALS DATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNER/ZONING ENGINEER INSPECTIONS ARB DEPARTMENT OF FIRE RESCUE ALBEMARLE COUNTY SERVICE AUTHORITY VIRGINIA DEPARMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Rev 2: Comment addressed. 14. [Comment] Vicinity map. Remove the overlay shapes on the vicinity map in the top right corner of the cover sheet. They are highlighting the townhouse developments instead of the block area being amended. Rev 2: Comment addressed. Comments based on revised materials (dated 2.4.20): 15. [32.6.2(k), 4.17] Lighting Plan. New with this submission was a revised lighting plan. Staff has reviewed the lighting plan and has the following comments: a. Provide more footcandle points along the parking lot side of the proposed building, such that staff is able to confirm that the proposed lighting schedule does not exceed 0.5 footcandles at the property line, per Sec. 4.17.4(b). Rev. 3: Comment addressed. b. Only 14 of the H-EM luminaries were found on the lighting plan. Review and revise the plan map and lighting schedule as necessary. Rev. 3: Comment addressed. 16. [32.5.1(c)] Dimensions. Provide the dimensions of the proposed structure and accessory improvements, including walkways. Apologies that this comment was not made previously. Rev. 3: Comment addressed. 17. [32.5.2(n)] Sidewalks. The sidewalk along Old Trail Drive should be at least 511 in width. It current measures 411 in width at its narrowest. Review and revise as necessary. Rev. 3: Comment addressed. 18. [32.5.2(a)] Scale. Provide a scale bar on Sheet 2. This scale was included in previous iterations. This was likely a processing error. Rev. 3: While a scale has been added to Sheet 2, it appears the plan is drawn to a 1"=30' rather than 1"=10' as indicated by the scale bar provided. Revise as needed. Comments based on revised materials (submitted 5.21.2020): 19. [32.5.2(i), 32.5.2(n), Old Trail Code of Development] Sidewalks and Planting Strips. In reviewing the Old Trail Code of Development (COD) and Rezoning Plan, these documents indicate that both Old Trail Dr and Ashlar Ave, identified as Road C and F, respectively, were intended to provide at least a 12ft sidewalk adjacent along Block 1. This is in addition to a planting strip minimum. No variations since the original rezoning were found to change these minimum requirements. However, the COD indicates on page 34 that streets trees may be provided within planters. The use of planters to accommodate street trees is seen in the approved final site plan for this development. As such, a similar design will be acceptable for this minor site plan amendment. Therefore, revise the sidewalk amenity to provide at least 12ft wide sidewalk on both Old Trail Dr and Ashlar Ave that will be kept clear and not fenced off in the future, such as might be anticipated with outdoor restaurant seating for example. (Note: The minimum sidewalk width can be provided within the ROW as well as the parcel boundary. It may be helpful to provide a note indicating the minimum sidewalk width will be kept clear and not fenced off.) Also, include in the design street trees in planters. This will likely require an additional plan sheet to address Landscaping and an updated purpose statement on the Cover Sheet. 20. [32.5.2(i)] Sidewalk and maintenance easement. A note on Sheet 13 references a sidewalklmaintenance easement recorded in DB 3596 PG 449. The note specifically indicates that some areas of the aforementioned easement will be vacated. If this easement is to be amended, an easement plat will need to be submitted and approved. Staff recommends submitting this plat soon and amending the easement area to cover the minimum sidewalk area required by the COD. 21. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(n)] Parking spaces along Old Trail. The revised plan appears to indicate two uses of the curb bump -out along Old Trail Dr, adjacent to the proposed building. Sheet 3 indicates the bump -out will be used as a bus stop while Sheet 12 indicates the area will accommodate 4 parallel parking spaces. Can you clarify what this area will be used for since these parking spaces could be used to meet the parking space requirement? Since the proposed bus stop is in the right-of-way, this plan has been forwarded to VDOT and Transportation Planning for their review. That said, staff have some concerns that the current bus stop design may not be ADA accessible. 22. [Comment] Revision date. It appears a revision date was not included in this iteration of the plan. Please add a revision date to identify this version.

This portion of the Old Trail development is not expected to be visible from the Entrance Corridor, consequently, ARB review/approval is not required. Albemarle County Zoning Division Rebecca Ragsdale, rragsdale"bemarle.org — Requests changes 1. My last review comments were only about affordable housing tracking. I don't see where this comment was addressed unless I missed something: The affordable housing table indicates compliance with Proffer 2 as they propose 6 rental apartments, with 2 banked from previous blocks. In order to track affordable units through the buildingpermitprocess, the units must be also indicated on the site plan. It has been ourpractice to include a note on Sheet I that indicates required/provided affordable housing, include the tracking table somewhere in the plan set, and also indicate units on plan sheets for the building(s). 2. I had no comments about parking last review. I have no objection to the 4 spaces being removed for parking and granting a ftuther reduction based on transit being provided to the site. All plan sheets just need to be consistent and the number of required parking spaces on the cover sheet updated if needed. Transportation Planning TBD — PENDING, comments will be forwarded upon receipt In accordance with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code, if the applicant fails to submit a revised site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter, the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant.
