SP2020-15 Animal Wellness Center Special Use Permit Conditions
1. Development of the use must be in general accord (as determined by the Director of Planning and the
Zoning Administrator) with the concept plan entitled, "Special Use Permit SP2020-00015, An
Amendment to SP200"09, Concept Plan, Animal Wellness Center, 56A2-01-00-7," prepared by Shimp
Engineering, P.C., dated July 20, 2020, last revised January 15, 2021- To be in general accord with the
exhibit, development must reflect the following essential major elements:
• Location of the existing building and its proposed additions
• Location of the proposed new building in the "future phase/development"
• Location of the parking areas
• Location of the outdoor animal exercise area
Minor modifications to the plan which do not conflict with the elements above may be made to ensure
compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The outdoor animal exercise area must be separated from access by the public and limited to the area
behind the building.
3. Final site plan approval is subject to approval of the landscape plan (submitted with the site plan) by the
Architectural Review Board (ARB). 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 impacts of
the proposed use.
4. Subject to the approval of the Albemarle County Facilities and Environmental Services department, a
parking lot may be permitted in the location of the existing drainage channel located within the Albemarle
County drainage easement (deed book 3982, page 599), as shown to the west of the existing building
depicted on sheets 6 and 7 of the concept plan. For a parking lot to be permitted in this area, at a
minimum, the developer must relocate and reconstruct the drainage channel to a condition that is
consistent with the design of the existing channel and modify the drainage easement to reflect the new
location. Piping of the existing or new drainage channel is not permitted. Any disposal of the County's
existing drainage easement is further subject to the requirements of Virginia Corte § 15.2-1800(B).
