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?
