RE: SDP-2007-048 Crozet Gateway Final Site Plan
Dear Mr. Shepard:
On behalf of my client, Yousef LC, I respectfully request the Albemarle County Planning o J2
Commission hear our appeal of the denial of the shared parking facilities rendered by Mr.
Bill Fritz, Chief of Zoning, on October 26, 2007. (See Attached) This det ermination
leaves the site plan application, SDP 2007-048, in a condition where it cannot be
approved. We would like to speak to the Planning Commission at the earliest time to i
discuss the circumstances of this determination and site plan and ask them to approve our
request for a shared parking facility.

RE: SDP 2007 — 048 Crozet Gateway Final Site Plan
Dear tuts. George,
1 have reviewed your October 3, 2007 letter requesting a modification of the parking standard. In your
calculations you arrived at 86 required spaces for Retail and 32 required spaces for Office. 1 agree with
this calculation. You added these together and arrived at 117 spaces. 1 believe this is a typographical
error, 118 spaces are required for these two uses.
You propose storage as a use for 7,561 square feet of the building. This represents nearly a quarter of the
entire building space. Storage is a permitted use in the HC, Highway Commercial zoning district. It is
proposed that no parking be attributed to this storage. If this storage were a stand alone use it would
require a minimum of 2 parking spaces. This would raise the required parking to 120 spaces for the site.
You have proposed to serve this project with 99 parking spaces. This is a reduction of 17.5 %.
1 can grant a shared parking for the storage and other uses on site. This results in 118 spaces being
required. This modification is based on the statement that the storage will be used to support the other
users o €the site.
I cannot approve a reduction in the parking under the shared parking concept for the office and retail. I
have no evidence that the two uses, office and retail, will operate at dissimilar times. I am unable to
identify any unusual characteristics associated with this development that would tend to indicate that the
parking requirements contained in the ordinance are incorrect. Further, no area is available onsite to
provide additional parking. Area for additional parking should be available in the event that the reduced
parking requirement provides inadequate area for the actual use of the site.
You may appeal this decision as provided for by Chapter 18, Section 4.12.2(d) of the Albemarle County
Code.
Sincere
