Subject: SDP2021-00065 — Albemarle Business Campus Block 1 — Final Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will
recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (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.] Remaining comments from SDP2020-00066 are listed first. New comments from the review of SDP2021-00065
follow.
Comments from SDP2020-00066 — Albemarle Business Campus Initial Site Plan Action Letter:
The original comments from the review and action letter for SDP2020-00066 are in gray font. Follow-up comments from the
review of the final site plan, SDP2021-00065, are in bolded black font. Please address these follow-up comments as well.
1. [General Comment] This property is potentially located within the Monticello viewshed. It is
recommended that you reach out to Liz Russell (Irussell@monticello.org) at Monticello to discuss this project
if you have not already done so.
2. [General Comment] Development of the site will need to meet the requirements of the performance
agreement with the Economic Development Office that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 15,
2020.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Include the application number for this project on the cover sheet of the plan. Also include the
application number for this final site plan in the title — SDP2021-00065.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Include the correct zoning designation for this property on the cover sheet. It is NMD,
Neighborhood Model District, in accordance with the Application Plan and the Code of Development of
ZMA2019-00003, approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 7, 2020. All references to the "pending"
zoning district need to be removed and replaced with the actual approved zoning district.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Include on the cover sheet the zoning overlay districts that these parcels are subject to.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Ensure the correct tax map and parcel numbers are provided on the plan, as they will likely
change as the proposed BLA and subdivision plats move forward.
7. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the sheet index on the cover sheet. It does not accurately reflect the actual sheets that are
included within the site plan. There are additional sheets included in the site plan that are not listed in the index.
8. [32.5.2(a)] The source of title needs to be revised to include all parts of the property. The Region 10 portion
of the property is not currently included in this section.
9. [32.5.2(a)] Include on the cover sheet a reference to the special exception that was approved with this
rezoning, for the waiver of a minimum of at least two housing types within an NMD.
10. [32.5.2(a)] Boundary line adjustment (BLA) and/or subdivision plats will be required prior to final site plan
approval for any of the buildings and/or blocks that are proposed to be located on individual parcels. These plats
will require review and approval by CDD staff prior to their recordation at the courthouse.
11. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet, include the parking setback lines for blocks 3 and 4 that are identified in the
COD.
12. [32.5.2(a)] The stepback requirements for the blocks need to be included on the cover sheet, in addition to
the setbacks and building heights.
13. [32.5.2(a)] Include on the cover sheet of the site plan that this site lies within a state dam break inundation
zone. Depict the limits of the state dam break inundation zone on the site plan.
14. [32.5.2(d)] Depict and label the managed steep slopes on all applicable sheets of the site plan for staff to
determine the relationship of the proposed improvements to the locations of the managed slopes.
15. [32.6.2(h)] Provide a signature panel with a line for each member of the Site Review Committee on the final
site plan.
16. [32.5.2(e)] Provide more details about the existing landscape features as described in Section 18-32.7.9.4(c).
i. The Albemarle County Conservation Plan Checklist and Chapter 3.38 of the Virginia Erosion and
Sediment Control handbook. The Conservation Plan Checklist will need to be signed by the owners
and provided as an exhibit on the final site plan.
17. [32.5.2(c)] The phase lines need to encompass the entire property and go all the way to the property lines.
No portion of the property can remain outside of the phase lines. At least the northern portion of the dog park is
not included within phase lines.
Phase lines also need to follow constructed or natural features so that each phase can stand on its own. An
individual phase must include all requirements for a Zoning Clearance and CO to be issued. For example, a
phase line cannot go through the middle of a parking space, like is currently shown in the northern portion of
the line between blocks 2 and 5. That line should be extended east to incorporate all of that parking lot.
The phase lines at the eastern end of the proposed private street, near Wahoo Way, also need to be revised. The
phase with the street should include all of that intersection and not defer part of that intersection until Phase 3,
as is currently shown.
The phase lines must also be a part of the first final site plan that is submitted so that staff can ensure they
encompass all that is required.
18. [32.5.2.1(b)] The match lines need to be provided or revised. Portions of the existing conditions sheets are
missing — the northern parts of each section, block 1 and blocks 2-5. Also, the northern part of block 1 on sheet
C7 is missing and needs to be provided.
The match lines shown on sheets C8 and C9 need to identify which sheets they match with.
19. [32.5.2(b)] Information regarding the proposed use.
i. The two apartment buildings in the northwest of Block 1 indicate they have 4 floors of 8 apartments,
which is 32 apartments. However, they indicate they have only 28 units. Clarify this discrepancy or
provide more information.
ii. Clarify what the "Portion of Stepback" is in the office building and whether that is a part of the
17,000 sq.ft. office footprint, or in addition to it.
iii. Provide the square footage of non-residential space in each of blocks 2-5 so that staff can ensure the
ranges identified in the Code of Development are met.
iv. Identify the acreage of each of the proposed blocks 1-5.
v. Provide the number of one -bedroom multi -family units and the number of two -bedroom multi-
family units that are provided. Staff cannot accurately calculate the number of parking spaces
required without knowing the exact number of each type of unit.
vi. Provide more information on the amount of proposed greenspace and amenities. Also identify all
the amenities that are being provided. 20% of the site must be greenspace, and 20% of the site must
be amenities; however, these two elements can overlap in many, though not all, circumstances. It is
not clear what is being counted as greenspace, what is being counted as amenity area, and what is
counting toward both calculations. Provide more detailed calculations of these elements.
Recreational facilities in accordance with 18-4.16 of the Zoning Ordinance are not provided in block
1, as required by note 1 on sheet 5 of the COD. Provide these required amenities and recreational
facilities in block 1. If substitution of these facilities is desired, provide a substitution request with
justification to Planning staff for review.
Who will be maintaining the private greenspace and amenity areas? Some sort of agreement will be
required. In accordance with the COD, provide a substitution request for the proposed
amenities, since the recreational facilities as required by 18-4.16 do not appear to be proposed
with this development.
Sitting areas are identified as proposed amenities. However, no facilities for sitting (e.g.,
benches, picnic tables) are depicted or provided.
vii. Provide the maximum height of all structures.
In addition, two of the apartment buildings are shown as four stories tall; however, the Code of
Development limits the height of buildings in that block to three stories only. Revise.
viii. The parking schedule needs to be revised. Sufficient parking must be provided for the development.
There is not currently enough parking, and the Zoning division has not approved the requested
reduction in parking.
1. Staff cannot determine the number of parking spaces required in Block I because the
number of each type of unit has not been provided. In addition, more parking needs to be
provided in that block. The minimum amount required has not been provided. Sufficient
parking has not been provided in Block 1. Provide an additional 29 spaces. (Note: The
applicant's request for a parking modification for Block 1 is still under review by the
Zoning Administrator.)
2. As this development is proposed to be phased, enough parking must be provided for each
phase, cumulative with the previous phases, so the parking calculations must be separated
out by phase. (Block 1 cannot be included with the cumulative total as its parking must be
provided separately from blocks 2-5.)
3. Block 3 requires 267 parking spaces.
4. Block 4 requires 66 parking spaces.
5. A written request will need to be made to the Zoning Administrator regarding the number
of parking spaces required for the self -storage use, as it is an unscheduled use.
6. More parking spaces are required for blocks 2-5, as there is not currently sufficient parking
provided to accommodate the proposed uses.
7. As the parking spaces are proposed to be shared among blocks 2-5, a shared parking
agreement will be required prior to site plan approval.
8. The parking schedule must be revised. There are more than 45 spaces depicted on the site
plan. In addition, there is greater than the 20% permitted increase over the required amount
of parking. Remove some of the parking spaces so that the number of spaces is not above
the 20% permitted.
9. Provide the measurements of all parking spaces. Many of the perpendicular spaces
are not measure, especially those six (6) spaces depicted below. It appears they may
need an additional two feet (or a two -foot overhang).

20. 132.5.2(i)] Streets, easements, and travelways.
4.00' STAMP£1
CONC. PED. P
a. At the time of subdivision, a request, with justification, for a private street will be required for the proposed
new street through blocks 2-5. Requests for private streets in non-residential areas are reviewed administratively.
If the request for a private street is granted, a private improvement maintenance agreement will also be required.
b. A separate submission of road plans will be required for the proposed new street through blocks 2-5.
c. Identify all proposed bike lanes or multi -use paths, along with proposed bike parking. Provide the amount
of bike parking that is proposed, on the cover sheet. Clarify what the area of concrete in front of the clubhouse
is. See below:
5
d. Identify on the site plan the proffered right-of-way dedication depicted in the "Single -Lane Roundabout
Exhibit'? With the vehicle trips per day generated by the proposed uses, as provided on the cover sheet of
the site plan, proffer number 1 will need to be fulfilled with this block. In addition to the cash contribution,
a plat will need to be prepared to dedicate the right-of-way at the intersection of 5"' Street and Old
Lynchburg Road. Show this round -about construction and dedication on this site plan as well. Based on
the trip generation, the proffered right-of-way dedication must be done with this site plan.
e. The application plan identifies the interior street as having 12-ft. travel lanes. The interior street through
blocks 2-5, as depicted, does not meet this width requirement, being only 20 or 22 ft. in width.
if Identify all proposed access easements. Access easements will require an approved plat.
21. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed
ingress and egress for Block 1 on sheet C7.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements.
a. Provide the maximum height of all buildings.
b. Provide the maximum footprint of the multi -family buildings in block 1.
c. Identify the height of all proposed retaining walls and whether they are located within areas of managed
steep slopes. Retaining walls within steep slope areas must be terraced, with no individual wall being greater
than six feet in height. Railings or guard rails may be required on the retaining walls, depending on their height.
Comment not addressed.
d. Provide accessible ramps with the sidewalks.
e. A sidewalk must be provided along Mountainwood Road, as shown in the COD and the application plan.
f A pedestrian connection must also be provided from Mountainwood Road to the interior sidewalks of block
I_ as shown in the COD and the application plan Comment not addressed. Pedestrian connection must be
provided between Mountainwood Road and the parking lot of the development. See sheet 8 of the
application plan and sheet 12 of the COD.
g. Identify the widths of the planting strips.
h. How are residents supposed to enter the most southern apartment building? There is no sidewalk connecting
it to the parking lot.
i. A sidewalk or path needs to connect to the northern end of the crosswalk in block 2 near the dog park.
j. A crosswalk needs to be provided across the eastern end of the proposed new street, from the block 2 vehicle
entrance toward block 3.
k. Crosswalks and accessible ramps need to be provided at the western entrance of the proposed new street.
I. Provide the proposed crosswalk across Old Lynchburg Road at Country Green Road.
in. The sidewalks at the northwest comer of the 4,219 sq.ft. retail building need to connect.
n. How is trash collection proposed to be performed? Label the dumpster pads on the site plan. The
dumpster pad must be constructed of concrete and extend at least eight feet from the garbage containers.
o. Loading spaces need to be provided throughout the development. See 18-4.12.13 and 18-4.12.18. Identify
the locations of the loading spaces on the site plan, and provide their dimensions.
p. Identify the length of the parking spaces provided. Many spaces are identified as 9-ft. wide. However, none
of the parking spaces have their lengths identified. Spaces must be at least 18 feet long or 16 feet long with a 2-
ft. unobstructed overhang provided. Comment still applies. See comment 19.viii.9 above. These spaces do
not appear to meet the minimum requirements.
q. Provide the dimensions of the on -street parking for the proposed new street through blocks 2-5. The widths
of the parallel spaces are not provided. No dimensions are provided for the angular parking spaces.
23. [32.5.2(o)] Identify all areas proposed to be dedicated to public use, and identify the entity (VDOT, the
County, etc.) to which those areas will be dedicated. The dedication will require a plat or plats. Dedication is
required, as shown on the application plan. This dedication of land will be required to be shown on a plat.
24. [32.5.2(o)] Provide the right-of-way dedication along Mountainwood Road that is depicted in the application
plan.
25. [32.5.20); 32.5.2 (k)] Label all existing and proposed water, sewer, and storm drainage easements by type
and include a size/width measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded
instrument. For proposed easements, an easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and
recorded at the courthouse prior to approval of the final site plan being granted. Submit easement plats for
review and approval prior to approval of the site plan.
26. [32.5.2 0)] Label all existing and proposed utility easements by type and include a size/width measurement.
For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. For proposed easements, an
7
easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded at the courthouse prior to approval
of the final site plan being granted. Submit easement plats for review and approval prior to approval of the
site plan.
27. [32.5.2(n); 4.17; 32.7.8] A lighting plan that complies with sections 32.7.8 and 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance
must be submitted with the final site plan, for any outdoor lighting that is proposed on the site. Provide cut
sheets for the proposed lighting fixtures.
28. 132.5.2(p); 32.7.91 A landscape plan that complies with section 32.7.9 of the Zoning Ordinance must be
submitted with the final site plan. When submitting final site plans, keep in mind that the landscaping
requirements need to be met individually for each phase of the development, as the phases must be able to stand
independently. See comments below:
a. Street trees need to be planted along the entirety of the proposed internal road since that improvement is
being proposed with this site plan.
b. Identify where the new property lines are so that staff can accurately determine whether the proposed
landscaping is actually on the subject property. The landscaping, such as the tree canopy, required by this
development must be located on the subject parcel.
29. [COD] Identify the number of units proposed to be affordable in Block 1, in accordance with the COD. In
addition, include the affordable unit language from the COD in the final site plan for Block 1.
New Comments — First Review of Albemarle Business Campus Block 1 Final Site Plan (SDP2021-00065):
1. [ZMA201900003] The building height table on the cover sheet references Block 5, instead of Block 1. Revise.
2. [ZMA201900003] The vehicular trips generated by this site plan will trigger Proffers la and lb. Be advised of
these proffer requirements.
3. [General Comment] There are several features on the site plan sheet where it is unclear what they are. These
features need to be labelled, including the following:
A. What appears to be the swimming pool.
B. What appear to be the dumpster pads.
C. The rectangular concrete area in front of the clubhouse.
4. [32.5.2(p); 32.7.9] The landscaping at the north end of the parking lot appears to be encroaching on the required
2-11. overhang space.
5. [32.5.2(p); 32.7.9] Provide the street tree calculations for Mountainwood Road.

Albemarle County Fire -Rescue (ACFR) — Howard Lagomarsino, hlaeomarsino&albemarle.org — Requested changes;
please see the comments below:
Thank you for addressing most of the requested changes:
1) To determine the fire flow necessary for the apartment buildings listed on the plans, building type, square footage and
presence of sprinklers are some of the factors that inofim this calculation. Without the fire flow calculation, unable to
adequately determine if the fire flow available in the ACSA flow test is adequate to provide the needed fire flow. Albemarle
County Code requires use of teh ISO formula to detrmine the calculation. Please add the required ISO fire flow calculation
for the buildings to the plans.
2) Buildings over 30 feet require fire apparatus travelway access of 26 feet. The plans show buidings 101, 102 and 103 as
three story buildings, so are most likely close to the 30 feet mark. Please provide building height in feet on the plans or a
statement on the plans that these buildings will not exced 30 feet in height to determine whether these buildings will require
the additional width.
Albemarle County Economic Development Office (EDO) —J.T. Newberry, inewbepykalbemarle.org—No objections
at this time; see the comments below
(Comments from J.T. Newberry) On April 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved a public -private partnership that
applies to approximately 8.55 acres of the Albemarle Business Campus development. These 8.55 acres lie outside of the
area of this site plan. The partnership applies only to the non-residential sections of this development on the northeastern
side of Old Lynchburg Road.
As a result, the Economic Development Office has no comments and no objection to this application.

Review # 1
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:

The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by Shimp Engineering, dated 26
July 2021, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide a vertical profile for the entrance.
2. Show CG-12 and pedestrian crosswalk through entrance on the plans.
3. Extend the mill and fill area to run one lane -width for the length of the new curb and
gutter installation on Country Green Rd (Rte 875).
4. The sight distance left line is very close to the Clubhouse, and the profile comes very
close to the proposed ground level. Sight distance will be measured as part of the final
inspection after construction.
5. Any landscaping or non-standard items within the right-of-way will require a perpetual
maintenance agreement (LUP-LS) before the permit is closed.
6. Video inspection of the existing stormwater pipe will be required to confirm it's
condition before tying -in private lines.
7. Drawings signed -and -sealed by a Professional Engineer verifying the structural and
hydraulic capacity of the drop inlet to accept additional ty-ins will be required before a
permit is issued.
8. Since you appear to be replacing the existing ditch on the north side of Country Green Rd
(Rte 875) with curb and gutter, you will need to add drop inlets and storm sewers to
handle the storm water run off from the road.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113.
