PROJECT HISTORY
A site plan was first approved for this site in 1977. The restaurant building was constructed in 1978, prior to the establishment of the Entrance Corridors,
and a site plan amendment was approved in 1979. The ARB reviewed signs for the site in 1992 and 1998, reviewed minor modifications to the building
and signage in 2004, and reviewed additional signage in 2011. In 2012 the ARB approved a re -roofing for the building. Two pre -application conferences
were held for the current proposal in June 2020.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DETAILS
A Special Use Permit is required for outdoor sales, storage and/or display of vehicles when the site falls within the Entrance Corridor Overlay District.
The purpose of the requirement is to allow for review of potential visual impacts on the corridor. The ARB's recommendations on this application will
be forwarded to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the Special Use Permit request (SP-2020-14).
The proposal consists primarily of the removal of the drive-thru and service structures and creation of parking spaces on the south and west sides of the
building, reduction in the travelway and expansion of planting areas on the north and east sides of the building, and establishment of parking for
customer, employee, and vehicle display throughout the site.

Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville
and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of
buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the
integration of buildings, land, and vegetation characteristic of
these sites, the Guidelines require attention to four primary
factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the
area; the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development
and layout; and landsca in .

exam les of this tradition are contained in Appendix A.

The examples contained in Appendix A should be used as a
guide for building design: the standard of compatibility with
the area's historic structures is not intended to impose a rigid
design solution for new development. Replication of the
design of the important historic sites in the area is neither
intended nor desired. The Guideline's standard of
compatibility can be met through building scale, materials,
and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is
contemporary as well as traditional. The Guidelines allow
individuality in design to accommodate varying tastes as well
as special functional requirements.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion:
1. The amount and distribution of display parking
2. The proposed landscaping of the parking lot
3. Revising lighting and signage to meet ordinance and guidelines requirements
Staff offers the following recommendations on the proposal:
Recommendations on the Special Use Permit
Recommended revisions to the Concept Plan:
1. Coordinate the color used to designate proposed display parking in the legend and the plan.
2. Revise the existing conditions plan to show both sheds at the southwest comer of the property. If one is to be eliminated, coordinate the plans
accordingly.
3. Revise the notes on the plan to indicate that trash receptacles will only be located within the dumpster enclosure shown at the west comer of
the property.
4. Revise the plan to bring the landscaping closer to meeting the guidelines for trees along the EC street frontages. The addition of a planting
island and the shifting of some proposed trees may facilitate this.
5. Revise the plan to show landscaping in the planting island on the south side of the building.
Recommended conditions of approval:
Staff recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendation to the Planning Commission:
The ARB has no objection to the proposed outdoor sales, storage and display with the following conditions:
1. Vehicles must be displayed or stored only in areas indicated for display or storage on the Concept Plan.
2. Vehicles must be parked in striped parking spaces.
3. Vehicles must not be elevated anywhere outside of a building on site.
4. Final site plan approval is subject to ARB approval of the landscape plan (submitted with the site plan). Landscaping shown on the plan
may be required to be in excess of the minimum requirements of the ARB guidelines and/or the Zoning Ordinance to mitigate visual

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Proiect Narrative
The applicant is seeking a special use permit in accordance with Section 30.6.3(a)2(b) for display parking within
a Highway Commercial zoning district. The special use permit shall allow for outdoor storage, display and/or
sales of vehicles on the property for the existing HC zoning. The applicant is seeking a special use permit on the
property to relocate his business from the City of Charlottesville to this site. The proposed property is located at
the intersection of Seminole Trail and Rio Road, and is currently an existing fast food restaurant. The
redevelopment of the site would include enhanced landscaping, screening, and buffers that are more consistent
with the comprehensive plan and Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The existing building shall remain with the proposed
development plan and special use permit application, and the building will be used for the auto dealership use.
The applicant is requesting a special use permit for outdoor storage, display and/or sales of vehicles on the
property for the proposed auto dealership within the entrance corridor. The use of the property and existing
Application Plan
1680 Seminole Trail Auto Dealership Special Use Permit
zoning allows for the auto dealership, and the use would be consistent with the other businesses currently in this
area along this portion of the roadway. The proposed landscaping and greenspace buffer as shown on the
application plan will help mitigate the use on the property from the intersection and entrance corridor, and will
also create the needed separation zone between the property and Route 29 and Rio Road. Portions of the
greenspace area may even be used to help enhance the Pedestrian Zone that was developed with the previous
Route 29 and Rio Road improvements.
1.2 Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The Places29 Master Plan is a master plan that was approved and adopted by the Albemarle Board of
Supervisors to become a part of the Comprehensive Plan for the Northern portion of the Growth Area of the
County. Within the Places29 Master Plan, guiding principles are given for the development of the properties
within this Northern Growth Area. In addition, a small area plan, Rio29 Small Area Plan, was recently
completed to guide the redevelopment of this central hub location within the Places29 Master Plan. The Rio29
Small area plan emphasizes on (3) vision elements, which are connectivity, character in design, and conservation
of community public spaces and natural resources.
This property is located within the Rio/29 small area plan and has a split comprehensive plan zoning on the
property with Urban Core along Rio Road and the northern portion of the site and Core along the southern
portion of the site. This is the highest intensity of uses within the Rio/29 small area plan. While the proposed
special use permit on the property will use the existing building structure for the auto dealership, the applicant is
proposing improvements to the site that are consistent with the Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The proposed site
improvements include the development of a separation zone to help buffer the Rio Road and Route 29 corridor
with additional greenspace and landscaping. The additional street trees, understory trees, and shrubbery will add
landscaping and greenspace to the existing intersection and help mitigate the use on the property and the existing
building. This is consistent with the creation of the Through Corridor along Route 29 and Rio Road, at this busy
intersection. The greenspace and buffer area can also be used to help increase the Pedestrian Zone along the
frontage of the property.
While the existing building does not currently meet the recommendations on the site from the Rio/29 Small Area
plan, the special use permit is proposing site changes that are consistent with the Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The
site, with the current size of 0.691 acres, needs to be combined with the adjacent properties for a redevelopment
of the existing building structure that is contemplated within the Small Area Plan. The applicant is proposing the
site improvements now, with the intent that the property can be combined with the adjacent properties in the
future for the building redevelopment in this area. The ultimate development of this property, which is just over
1/2 acre) needs to be part of the entire redevelopment of the parcels at this intersection.

1.3 Existing Conditions
The subject property, as shown in Figure 3 on this page, is located at the intersection of Seminole Trail and
Rio Road at the southwest corner of the intersection. Existing road improvements and streetscape
improvements where installed along the road frontage of the property during the expansion of Route 29 and
the installation of the grade separated interchange. The parcel is 0.691 acres in size. The property is
bordered to the east by Route 29, to the north by Rio Road, and to the south and west by (2) existing
Highway commercial businesses.
There is (1) buildings on the existing property, which was constructed in 1978, according to County records.
The existing building is currently a fast food restaurant with a drive -thin window. The applicant is
proposing to remove the drive thru window/canopy and also to remove the refrigeration building on the rear
of the site. The existing building shall remain and will be used for the proposed car dealership business.
The topography of the subject property is primarily flat terrain with a gentle slope from the back of the
property down to Route 29 in the southeast comer. There is approximately 4 feet of elevation change from
the back of the site to Route 29 across the site. The subject project is primarily impervious area with the
building and the asphalt parking lot areas.

1.4 Development Impacts
As stated above, this property is located within the Albemarle County Rio/29 development area is currently
operating using County water and sewer. The existing building will remain, along with the existing water meter
and water/sewer connections and infrastructure. Because the subject property is proposing to maintain the
existing utility connections, there is no impact on the public utilities with this proposal.
The existing building is located within 1 miles of an existing fire department station. No additional fire/rescue
services are needed to this proposal.
There are no proposed residential units proposed with this application. As a result, there will be no impacts to
the Albemarle County Public Schools with the proposed special use permit application.
The parcel is located along Route 29 (Seminole Trail) and Rio Road. Improvements along the frontage of the
parcel were installed with the Route 29 expansion and Rio Road Grade separated interchange. Right of way and
easements were taken from the subject property for these improvements. This plan proposes to expand the
buffer improvements along the front of the site for landscaping and greenspace. The proposed application plan
shows landscaping and greenspace improvements along the frontage of the site to help mitigate the use of the site
at the comer.
1.5 Environmental Impacts
Figure 4 illustrates the existing environmental features on the property. There is no existing floodplain on the
property. There are no areas of critical slopes on the property either. The site is completely developed and has
no critical areas on the property or environmental features.
There are no proposed impacts to any environmental features on the property with this proposal.
Figure 4: Critical Resource Map
Application Plan 6 1 P a c
1680 Seminole Trail Auto Dealership Special Use Permit
2. DESIGN ELEMENTS & FACTORS FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT
2.1 Traffic and Transportation Improvements
The property is located along Route 29 (Seminole Trail) which is a major arterial roadway in Albemarle
County.
The current traffic trips per day with the proposed auto service station, per the 10d' Editions of the ITE Trip
Generation Manual, is as follows:
Daily Trips: 135 Vehicles per day
Peak Hour (AM): 8 VPH (4 trips in & 4 trips out)
Peak Hour (PM): 21 VPH (10 trips in & 11 trips out)
This is a considerable reduction in traffic and trips per day from the existing fast food restaurant with is
projected at 1,415 Vehicles per day. This is a 90% reduction in traffic and trips per day in and out of the
subject property at this busy intersection.
No additional transportation improvements are proposed with the special use permit application.
2.2 Lighting
The existing site lighting shall remain on the parcel. Currently, there are street lights along Route 29 that
were installed with the Route 29 expansion. These lights shall remain. There are also two existing site
light in the rear of the property that shall remain. The existing building lights shall remain. No additional
lighting is proposed on the site at this time with the application.
2.6 Landscaping
A landscaping buffer area and greenspace is proposed with this application along Seminole Trail and Rio
Road. The All landscaping shall conform to the landscaping standards as specified in the Albemarle County
Zoning Ordinance Section 32.7.9. The existing parking spaces along Rio Road and Route 29 shall be
moved inward, creating a greenspace landscaping area for Street trees and landscaping shrubs between the
site and the roadways. Landscaping and planting areas will be created in the location where the existing
pavement is removed along the VDOT right of way frontage. These planting areas are shown on the
application plan. Spacing of street trees shall be planted in accordance with Section 32.7.9 of the Albemarle
County Code for Landscaping and Screening requirements. Street trees along the public streets shall be
subject to the approval of the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board and shall meet the
requirements outlined in the Architectural Review Board Design Guidelines. All other landscaping shall be
subject to Section 32.7.9 of the Albemarle County Code for landscaping and screening requirements.
Screening and interior landscaping will also be part of the final site plan to provide a visual barrier and site
landscaping as required the Albemarle County Ordinance along Route 29 and Rio Road, within the parking
lot areas for the auto dealership, and along the perimeter of the parking areas.
2.7 Grading
Grading of the site shall adhere to the existing topography on the property. Minor grading will be
performed along the frontage of the site with the additional greenspace area for the landscaping and buffers.
A portion of the existing retaining wall along Rio Road shall be removed with the installation of the
landscape buffer area.
2.8 Stormwater Management
2.3 Water Usage All designs and engineering for the redevelopment of the property shall adhere to the State Stormwater
The subject property currently uses County water and sewer. The existing utility connections shall remain Management regulations and Albemarle County Water Protection Ordinance. The site will accommodate
in place. the stormwater management with a reduction of the impervious area on the property. The final stormwater
management design will be part of the site plan and water protection ordinance plan for the development.
2.4 Sounds & Smell
The proposed use of the building is not expected to have an adverse effect on the noise and smells in the
area. The removal of the fast food from the building will reduce smells from the exhaust from the building.
No servicing of the vehicles is proposed on the property, so additional automotive sounds are not expected
with the use of the property for an automotive dealership.
2.5 Visual Impacts and Building Design
The existing buildings on the property will be maintained with the proposed application. Additional
landscaping will help buffer and mitigate the use of the building along Route 29 and Rio Road with the
expansion of the greenspace area along the front of the site.
The existing canopy for the drive-thru window and the small refrigeration utility building behind the
existing building shall be removed with the proposed development of the site.
Protective measures for erosion and sediment control shall be installed to limit any sediment run-off from
reaching Route 29 and Rio Road during the construction phases. Additional measures may include, but not
be limited to, installation of silt fence with wiring backing, usage of filter socks and floc logs for protection
measures, or the installation of erosion control matting for all slopes with the use of tackifiers in seeding and
soil stabilization applications.
