RE: LZC2021-00014 - Parcel ID 061X2-00-00-00100 (23.00 acres), Owner — FOUR SEASONS
APARTMENTS LTD PTNSHP C/O ELAINE MCDANIEL MGMT SRVS CORP P O BOX 5186
CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, 22905 (the "Property")
To Whom it May Concern:
In response to a request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above -referenced Property,
please be advised of the following:
• The Property is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development ("PUD"). The Property is subject
to the Airport Impact Area Overlay ("AIA"), the Entrance Corridor ("EC") Overlay District,
and the Steep Slopes Overlay as described in Section 30 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle
County Code ("Zoning Ordinance").
The Four Seasons Apartment development was built under Conditional Use permit (CU)
111, which served to rezone the property on July 17, 1969 to a Planned Community with
a density not exceeding 390 units in the area designated as "apartment tracts." Our
records indicate that 310 dwelling units were built. Though we have a plan that shows
the development (SDP-136), our files are incomplete and we do not have an approved
site plan. Therefore, the apartments may continue as they exist. Changes have been
made to the site that have been approved with various site plan amendments. The
addition of the pool and the community building were approved respectively with
SDP1999-00144 on 4/25/2000 and SDP2007-00056 on 1/31/2008. One additional site
plan SDP2008-00126 was approved for some minor landscaping changes near the
community building on 9/11/2008.
• The site appears to be in compliance with all approved site plans.
• There is a variance (VA1985-00055) approved for sign size and setback on 1/14/1986.
This approval is moot since the current sign size and setback meet the current
regulations for signs in a PUD zoning district.
• The apartment complex was built in the 1960s prior to Albemarle County having a
building code, and no Certificates of Occupancy were issued at that time. Subsequent
renovations have been done that have not required Certificates of Occupancy. In 2001
and 2008 permits were issued for a swimming pool, pool equipment building and the
community building/leasing office, respectively.
0 This office has no record of an open zoning of building code violation for this Property.
