Charlottesville, VA22903 www.timmons.com March 22, 2021 County of Albemarle Cameron Langille, Planner Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: Starbucks — 2231 Seminole Lane — Waiver Request from Section 4.12.6 Dear Mr. Fritz: With this letter we would like to formally request a waiver to the County code requirement, described in Section 4.12.6, that a Restaurant shall provide thirteen (13) parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area. The proposed redevelopment on this property is 1,203 SF of a drive through coffee shop. Per Albemarle County Code Section 4.12.6, a total of 15 parking spaces are required. The proposed drive through coffee shop has no interior dining. Rather, it has an 11-car drive through queue, a walk up ordering window, and limited outdoor seats available. The longer drive through queue and lack of indoor seating will result in less parking necessary. As such the parking that is provided will mostly support employees, while extra parking to support those picking up to -go orders will also be provided. With this in mind, we are requesting the required parking to be reduced from 15 to 12 parking spaces, or by 20%. We appreciate your considerations for the proposed exception request. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 434.327.1683. Sincerely, Anna Fontaine, P.E.
