The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department 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.]
Applicable Comments from Initial Site Plan Action Letter (July 28, 2021)
If the comment has been addressed, it has been blurred out. Additional comments are added in
bold font, like this.
1. [32.7.5.2(d)] Revise the plan to provide additional planting area along the Rt. 29 frontage to accommodate
required frontage trees free of utilities and easements. Note that this will likely require the elimination of the
8-space parking row and possibly some of the adjacent travelway.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Please correct the Tax Map and Parcel Number on the cover sheet and any additional TMP
reference number on the Plans to say Tax Map and Parcel number or simply TMP instead of "PIN." Revise
the TMP reference in the Site Data table on Sheet C-101.
3. [32.5.2(a)(b)] Please include the following general information and information regarding the proposed use
on the Cover Sheet.
a. Zoning District — Highway Commercial
b. Zoning Overlay Districts — Airport Impact Area and Entrance Corridor. Please add "Steep Slopes
— Managed" to the Zoning Overlay Districts information in the Site Data table on Sheet C-
101.
c. Please include a reference to the Initial Site Plan Number: SDP202100054
d. The proposed use and square footage of the building
e. The schedule of parking and amount provided
f. Maximum building height permitted and the proposed building height
4. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.61 The parking schedule on Sheet C-301 suggests that there are 15 employees and 6 service
bays for a total minimum parking requirement of 27 spaces. Section 4.12.4 of the Zoning Ordinance states
that the total nunber of parking spaces provided may not exceed the parking requirements by more than 20
percent. 33 parking spaces is ((33-27)/27 = 0.2222) 22.22 percent more than the parking requirements. Please
remove one parking space or revise the Plans accordingly.
5. [32.5.2(i)] Please see VDOT comment #1 (attached). Provide pedestrian accommodations across the
entrance.
6. [32.5.2 (k)(I), 32.6.2(g)] Any new easements required for water, sewer, drainage facilities, or any
proposed utilities will need to be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to final site plan approval.
Please submit an easement plat application the County for review. The final site plan will need to be
updated so that all easements are shown and labeled identifying easement type, whether it's public or
private, a width dimension, and the recorded instrument with deed book and page number.
Comments stands.
7. [32.7.8 and 4.17.41 Please use a light loss factor of 1.0 to determine footcandles on site. It is unclear what
LLF factor was used on the Lighting Plan.
8. [32.7.8 and 4.17.41 Please add a note to which states "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that
emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect
light away from adjoining residential districts and adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires
onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-half
footcandle."
9. [32.6.2(h)] Please provide a signature panel for signature by each member of the site review committee.
10. [4.12.19(c)] On the final site plan, please provide a plan and profile view detail of the proposed dumpster
enclosure. Identify the dimensions, materials, etc. Comment stands.
11. [4.12.19 (b)] Please show that concrete will be used as the surface material at the dumpster enclosure. The
concrete pad must extend a minimum of 8' beyond the front of the dumpster.
12. [32.5.2 (q)] Please provide traffic generation figures. See VDOT comments for further information.
13. [32.7.2.1(b)] Please see VDOT comment #4. The proposed entrances to the site do not meet VDOT spacing
requirements, and VDOT has stated that an Access Management Exception (AME) needs to be approved in
order to allow the proposed entrance location. Please coordinate directly with VDOT to address the AME
requirement.
14. [32.7.91 The Site Plan currently shows a 25' landscape buffer along the property frontage. Why is this being
provided? Is this an existing easement that applies to the property?
Final Site Plan Review Comments
1. [32.6.2] Please include the Final Site Plan Number on the Cover Sheet— SDP202100084.
2. [General Comment] Please add a date of revision to Sheet 2.

Review # 1
Dear Mr. McCollum:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by Bohler Engineering, dated 29
October 2021, and offers the following comments:
1. Label the ADA pedestrian ramps across the vehicle entrance as CG-12 and show the
detectable warning surface.
2. Plans appear to show brick -pattern for entire entrance into the road. Show the brick -
pattern crosswalk with asphalt pavement going into the road, for one lane -width, for the
length of 2' beyond either side of the entrance.
3. The sidewalk appears to narrow from the existing sidewalk to the minimum 5' width
across the front of the subject -property. Keep the existing width of the sidewalk for its
entire length.
4. Where does Structure B-10 discharge to?
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.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.

The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday, December
6, 2021. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Provide a sample of the corrugated metal siding for review.
2. Revise the architectural drawing to indicate the proposed block size for the masonry.
3. Align the storefront heights on the EC elevation with those on the south side and add a canopy to the middle bay of
the EC elevation.
4. Revise the plant trellises to extend down the elevation to the to match the form of the bay doors along the south
elevation. Remove the trellis closest to the EC street.
5. Revise the architectural drawings to include the standard window glass note: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall
not drop below 40916. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
6. Consider revising the site plan to relocate the electrical switch cabinet to eliminate visibility from the EC.
Alternatively add a wing wall and paint the cabinet to match the building. Add a note to the site plan to identify the
cabinet.
7. Revise the elevation drawings to show the roof -mounted mechanical equipment to confirm that it will be screened
from view of the EC.
8. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawing: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment
from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
9. Revise the lighting plan to indicate the fixture color for the pole -mounted lighting.
10. Consider revising the plan to provide additional planting area along the Rt. 29 frontage to accommodate required
frontage trees free of utilities. Note that this will likely require the elimination of some parking spaces in the 8-
space parking row adjacent to the Rt. 29 frontage. Alternatively, locate larger trees further into the planting area
towards the building and one in the parking area, eliminating one parking space.
11. Revise the site plan set to consistently show the existing water line as being removed.
12. Revise the deciduous landscaping along the northern perimeter of the site to evergreens.
13. Revise the site plan set to show the planting beds and plants proposed for the trellises.
14. Revise the plan to indicate the color of the retaining wall sample that has been submitted.
15. Please note separate sign applications are required for all proposed signs. The following comments provided with
the initial review still apply:
a. Revise the wall signs to use either face illumination or halo illumination.
b. Revise the sign proposed on the south elevation so that it has a more coordinated appearance. This can be
done by reducing the size of the sign and/or changing the layout to a single line of text.
c. The background of any cabinet signs proposed will be required to have an opaque background if internally
illuminated.
d. Include the size of the existing freestanding sign on the sign drawings. If the sign is taller than 12' and
larger than 32 square feet, the proposal must include a 25% reduction in height and area until the height
reaches 12' and area reaches 32 sf.
