(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos) All comments are based on the revised submittal showing a revised 55,220 SF building on TMP 32-6R (the 10,745 SF building addition on TMP 32-19E remained the same): 1. 18-4.20/18-4.6.3 Front setback. The upper right corner of the proposed 55,200 SF building does not appear to meet the 10' minimum front setback requirement. It appears to be approx. 9.5' from the sidewalk. Either the building or sidewalk must be adjusted so that the building is at least 10' from the sidewalk (as the sidewalk is outside the ROW). A determination request has been made to Zoning, to ensure the front setback requirement shown on Sheet C0.0 of this site plan is consistent with previous approvals under ZM-A}i2I005-3. A determination will be forwarded once received. ^ r 5" (2) B 2. 18-32.5.2 and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a final site plan. a. Include the following requirement on Sheet C0.0 (Planning acknowledges that this note is on Sheets C4.0 and C4.1, however it does not appear to be on C0.0): All water and sewer facilities to be dedicated to public use and the easements for those facilities and shall be identified by a statement that the facilities are to be dedicated to the Albemarle County Service Authority. b. Include the owners/zoning of all abutting parcels. It does not appear that TMP 32-9G was included. c. Consistently label the required 150' and 50' buffers (per ZMA2005-3) on each sheet, including the existing conditions and demo plan sheets. d. More clearly label (arrows pointing to each side) the access easement for Discovery Drive. e. Revise the phasing plan to show the proposed phasing with the completed site (that is, show the building addition, new building, and new parking). Keep the existing conditions in grey and show the proposed buildings/parking with darker lines. f. Add a note to sheet C0.0 that the site will be developed in two phases. g. The `Research Park Total Buildout' table on Sheet C0.0 should only show approved SF, plus the SF that will be approved with this site plan. It does not appear that Encompass is approved (no final site plan approved). Additionally, it appears 65,965 SF is added with this site plan (not 87,455). Please clarify. 3. 18-4.12.5 and 18-4.12.6 Parking location and required spaces. a. All parking must be on the same lot unless a request per 18-4.12.8 is made. Therefore, the parking calculations should reflect the number of spaces shown on each lot (32-19E, 6R, and 19H). For example, 39 spaces are shown on TMP 32-6R, so the new 55,220 SF building should show a parking calculation of 39 spaces. b. Clarify the number of spaces for TMP 32-19H. The site plan indicates 134 spaces are existing. It appears 3-4 are being lost with emergency access/site changes. However, the total proposed parking for this site is listed as 100 spaces. c. Clarify the required spaces for TMP 32-6R and the office/laboratory new building. For industrial uses, one space per employee should be provided. The rezoning for this site allows for other parking calculations to be considered and used. Additional information should be provided to indicate why no parking should be allocated for the laboratory use. Alternatively, some of the 39 spaces not being used for the office (18) could count toward this use. 4. 18-4.17Lighting. The Light Loss Factor must be 1.00. Also, include the required 3,000 lumens/full cutoff note on the lighting plan (not just on Sheet C4.0). 5. 18-32.7.9.4 Contents of a landscape plan. Include a completed and signed conservation checklist. 6. Advisory Comment: ZMA2005-3 Proffers Per Proffer 5.4(A) approved with ZMA2005- 3, the required Phase I road improvements must be completed prior to build -out of Phase I (with some exceptions). Based on this submittal, 488,151 sq. ft. have been constructed, and 718,130 will be approved after this site plan and the UVA Encompass Site Plan (SDP201900047) are approved. The build -out square footage of Phase 1, per Proffer 5.3, is 635,000 sq. ft. for uses with access to Lewis and Clark Drive and 980,000 sq. ft. total. Many of the proffers per 5.4(A) have been completed. This is an advisory comment only. 7. Future Application Comments a. WPO2019-60 will need to be approved prior to final site plan approval. b. 18-32.5.2 and 18-32.6.2 and 18-32.7.4.2 Easements. Any new or adjusted easements will require an approved easement plat prior to final site plan approval. Based on this submittal, there appear to only be ACSA easements proposed. However, if any other easements are required (such as per the WPO), they will need to be recorded and approved with an easement plat prior to site plan approval. Engineering (David James) 1.

I do not see a proposed location for this hydrant on the utility plan. a. Callout the existing 8" stubout to be abandoned (located next to existing FHA) at the main. 5. Sheet C4.1 — "6x3 tee" should be 6x4 tee. A 4" gate valve will need to be included after tee. a. "3x2" reducer should be called out as 2" threaded plug. b.
