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 (June 2, 2021) Mariah Gleason
If the comment has been addressed, it has been grayed out. Additional comments are added in bold
font, like this.
[Comment] Project number. Now that the initial site plan has been assigned a project number,
please include the number — SDP202100027 — in the title/heading of the Cover Sheet as well as a
place holder for the final site plan project number. Add the final site plan project number
"SDP202100073" in front of"Final Site Plan For" on the top of the Cover Sheet. Add "Initial
Site Plan' in front of the reference to SDP202100027.
2. [32.5.2(b)] Parking schedule. On the Cover Sheet, provide the calculation that was used to
determine the number of required parking spaces for this plan. (Note: Per Albemarle County Code,
an appropriate scheduled use for this development is "Retail use not otherwise identified" which
requires one space per 100 square feet of retail sales area for the first 5,000 square feet and one
space per each 200 square feet of retail sales area above 5,000 square feet. Retail sales areas is
defined as 80% of the gross floor area.)
3. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.4] Shared parking. The site plan notes that the 20 parking spaces in the small
parking area at the rear of the property will be created for the benefit of TMP 61 W-02-2B. Please
be aware that, per Sec. 4.12.4(a), County Code does not allow the number of proposed parking
spaces to exceed the number of required spaces by more than 20 percent. The current site plan
exceeds the number of required spaces by 41.7°/u. It may be possible to provide the desired parking
schedule through a shared parking agreement. Staff recommends following up with the Zoning
Division to see if this may be an option.
a. [4.12] This comment has not been addressed. Please provide additional evidence to be
reviewed by the Zoning Administrator stating the need for this overflow parking area.
Provide shared parking agreements between all applicable parties. Provide safe and
convenient access via sidewalk or other means of access to and from the parcel who
will be sharing this parking. Include a label that references applicable shared parking
agreement and include which tax map and parcel number enjoys the use of these
parking spaces on Sheet CS-101.
Comment stands. Please provide a shared parkin¢ a¢reement for Zoning review.
Applicant has acknowledged a shared narking agreement will he provided prior to
plan approval.
4. [32.5.2(n), 4.171 Outdoor lighting. Please refer to comments provided by the ARB reviewer below
(comments #6-12, specifically) concerning outdoor lighting.

Department of Public Utilities and ARB, below, regarding landscaping and plantings.
6. [Comment] Grading. Please refer to comments provided by City of Charlottesville Department of
Public Utilities regarding proposed grading over existing gas lines.
[4.12.18] Loading zone. A loading space is not required for this development, per 4.12.13, since
the building is less than 8,OOOsf. However, a loading zone is shown on the site plan. County Code
Sec. 4.12.18 requires loading spaces to be a minimum of 12 feet in width, 14% feet in clearance
height and a length sufficient to accommodate the largest delivery trucks serving the establishment,
but providing no less than 25 feet in length. Please be aware, that code section also requires the
loading space to be designed in such a way that no part of any vehicle will extend into a driveway
or aisle space. Please revise the loading zone shown on the site plan to align with these ordinance
requirements.
8. [32.5.2(n)] Fuel stations and pumps. On the Cover Sheet, please edit the "WAWA Information"
notes to clearly state the number of fuel stations and pumps being proposed by this project.
9. [32.5.2(q)] Traffic generation. Provide expected traffic generation information, if not provided
already.
10. [32.5.2(i), 32.5.2(m)] Vehicular travelways. In addition to the comments provided by Engineering
and VDOT reviewers, below, please also show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing
street intersection from the proposed ingress and egress points.
11. [4.12.19] Dumpster pad. The regulations for dumpster pads require the concrete pad to extend at
least eight feet beyond the front of the dumpster. Please revise the plan to demonstrate that this
minimum design requirement is being met. This could be done with a distance label on the site
plan.
12. [32.5.2(n)] Monument signs. Remove all depictions and notes regarding monument signs. Those
signs are reviewed through a separate application and permitting process.
13. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning. Include in the zoning notes that this property is subject to special use permit

a. Front: loft minimum; no maximum
b. Side and Rear: none

to indicate whether the site is located within a water supply watershed.
16. [32.5.1(c)] Boundary line. If not given already, please provide the curve data for the curved
boundary line at the northernmost property comer.
17. [32.7.9.4(c)] Existing landscape features. On the Existing Conditions sheet, identify whether
exiting tree/vegetated areas are composed of evergreen, deciduous, or a mix of tree types. Also

development, an easement plat for new, required easements will need to be submitted, approved,
and recorded. Comment stands.
Final Site Plan Review Comments
1. [32.6.21 Please remove the SWMIE&S Sheets from this Site Plan. See Engineering comments for
more information. Revise the sheet index and total number of sheets count on the cover sheet
accordingly.
2. [General Comment] Please add a date of revision.
3. [32.6.2(k) and 4.171 Lighting. Please revise the Lighting Plan to incorporate a LLF of 1.0. The
spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads shall not exceed one-half foot
candle. ARB may provide additional lighting comments that need to be addressed prior to final
site plan approval.
4. [32.7.9.5(d)] The Zoning Ordinance provides that one large street tree is required for every 50
feet of street frontage or one medium street tree for every 40 feet of street frontage along
Greenbrier Drive and Seminole Trail.
a. Unless required by ARB, the requirements for the amount of street trees along Greenbrier
Drive are much less than the suggested 7 street trees. The linear frontage is only the
distance the property abuts Greenbrier. The full 352 If of the property is partially buffered
by TMP 61W-02-2B.
b. Unless required by the ARB, correct the calculations provided on the Planting Plan
(Sheet CP-101) for Seminole Trail to correctly say one large tree per 501f instead of one
per 351f.
5. [32.7.9.4(a)] It appears "Quercuz x warei (QW)" is not a tree listed on the Albemarle County
Approved Plant List.
a. Please provide landscaping that is reflected on the Albemarle County Recommended
Plant List which can be found here.
6. [General Comment] A special exception (SE) request to vary the minimum design requirements
and improvements for vehicle access aisles as outlined in Section 4.12.17 of the Zoning Ordinance
has been received. The Applicant is requesting a waiver to increase the grade of the access aisle to
Greenbrier Dr. from the permitted maximum of 10% up to a maximum of 16%. This SE
(SE202100048) is currently under review. A Board of Supervisors date has been secured for
Wednesday, February 161. Comment stands. This special exception will need to be approved
by the Board of Supervisors prior to Final Site Plan approval.

Comment not addressed. Contours are still measuring steeper than 2:1 slopes. Revise the
grading or provide spot shots and label the distance between the spots to show the max
grade is 2:1 over the slope. For example, this is 5ft of vertical change in less than 10 ft of
