Dear Ms Boyers:
In response to your request concerning the above referenced parcel's compliance
with applicable codes, regulations and ordinances, please be advised as follows.
• The Property is zoned Highway Commercial (HC) under the zoning ordinance
of the County of Albemarle. The HC district permits intensive retail uses to
include food and grocery stores and banks by right. The Property is located
in the Entrance Corridor Overlay District (EC) and is subject to the rules and
regulations regarding this district.
• As of this date, this Property is not the subject of any zoning amendments
and is not subject to such proffers that would have been imposed on the
Property
• The Property is the subject of an approved site plan, SDP1996-133, amended
March 5, 2004, May 7, 2008, March 16, 2009, March 20, 2009 and June 12,
2009 which allowed the development of a 56,033 sq.ft. shopping center
served by 249 parking spaces and the addition of a bank with 11 required
parking spaces for a total parking requirement of 260 on-site spaces. A
special use permit was approved February 11, 2009 for the two drive-thru

■ It must be noted that the Property currently contains 254 parking spaces,
which is actually 6 short of the requirement. It appears that the notations on
the site plan sheet SP1 do not coincide with the actual number of spaces
shown on sheet SP2 (or those actually on site). Upon inspection of the site
on March 18, 2011 the 254 spaces on-site was confirmed However it does
appear that not all parking is being routinely used. This discrepancy could be
resolved by applying for a parking modification for approval of the 254
spaces
■ The Property is in compliance with all other applicable zoning ordinances,
rules and regulations, based on final zoning inspection(s)
This letter may be relied upon by the addressee(s) listed above and by any assignee
or successor in interest of the addressee(s) listed above, and by any other person
who has a current or future interest in the property whether as owner or mortgagee
I am authorized and empowered to execute this Zoning Compliance Letter on behalf
of the County of Albemarle. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to call me.
