The site plan amendment referenced above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County
Department of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC).
The Planner will approve the plan when the following items (from the Planner and other SRC plan reviewers) have been
satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
1. [Comment] Application number. This application has been assigned an application number. Please update the plan
set and future submission materials to reference SDP202200021.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Proffers. Include in the final site plan document the proffers associated with ZMA202100015, which
were recently approved in May 2022 and to which TMP 56A2-1-62 is subject. Please see the aforementioned
document attached.
3. [32.6.20), 32.7.9] Landscape Plan. Overall, staff acknowledge and commend the applicant's use of a variety of tree
types and species. Necessary revisions are provided below:
a. The proposal is not currently meeting the minimum tree canopy requirement for this development. This
requirement will need to be satisfied prior to final site plan approval.
b. Are there existing trees that will be preserved? A conservation checklist included on Sheet 23 suggests
some preservation of existing trees in lieu of new tree plantings however, no existing tree area was
indicated to remain within the proposal.
c. For trees with that will be installed at two caliper sizes, create aline item for each caliper size so the
resulting tree canopy totals can be confirmed.
d. There are 14 London Planetrees (PA) provided on Arboleda Drive, making the total PA trees provided 58,
instead of 57. Please revise the plan map labels and Plant schedule accordingly.
e. Per 32.7.9.7, parking areas consisting of four or more parking spaces shall be screened from adjacent
residential districts. In evaluation against the following screening requirements contained therein,
subsection (b) is satisfied with the provision of a planting strip, subsection (c) is satisfied by proposing
evergreen trees at least 4ft in height, however subsection (d) is not satisfied. In accordance with this
section, if only a planting strip or existing vegetation is provided as screening, the planting strip or the
existing vegetation shall not be less than 20 feet in depth. If a planting strip is provided, the plant materials
shall consist of a double staggered row of evergreen trees planted 15 feet on center, or a double staggered
row of evergreen shrubs planted ten feet on center, or an alternative vegetative screening approved by
the agent.
f. On Sheet 24, tree species labels located on Lots 1 and 2 current use the same symbol to identify two
different species. Revise so that each tree species is uniquely symbolized.

g. Remove faded tree line areas in places that are proposed for new development (such as on Lots 2-13).
h. Comparison between the landscape plan sheets and the recreation plan sheet reveal potential conflicts
between proposed tree locations along the northern subject property boundary and the location of the tot
lot recreation area, as shown on Sheet 25.
4. [32.6.2(I), 4.16] Recreation Plan.
a. Since this proposal consists of facilities that differ from the prescribed minimum recreation facilities
required by the ordinance, a substitution request will be needed for the Planning Director consideration
and approval. In the substitution request, list the required facilities and what is being proposed instead.
Before a request is submitted, staff would like to meet with the developer and applicant to provide
preliminary feedback.
5. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed Units.
a. In the building height notes on the Cover Sheet, identify which unit models - Popular, Balfour, Bayberry,
etc. - fit under each unit type listed (e.g. villa vs townhouse)
b. Per the label on Sheet 5, the dimension for the proposed garages on Lots 116-120 does not appear to
match what is shown on the plat map or in the unit examples provided on Sheet 21. Review and revise as
needed.
6. [32.5.2(n)] Paving materials. If not already provided, identify the typical paving material for driveways on the plan
map sheets or on Sheet 20.
7. [32.5.1(c)] Boundary dimensions. Existing boundary measurements provided on Sheet 3 do not match those shown
on the plat associated with the development. Also, boundary measurements are impeded in some areas by
overlapping labels. Revise and adjust where needed to align with the plat.
8. [32.5.2(a)] General information.
a. On Sheet 1, revise Note 2 under the Vicinity Map to make it clear that only one dwelling unit will be
permitted on each lot, with the exception of units provided on the apartment lot.
b. On Sheet 1, the ordinance section dictating the language of Note 11, under the Vicinity, has been
amended. Be advised, this note is not needed on the final site plan, however, if it remains the note should
be updated to state the following: "Unless specifically denoted as public, the streets and other required
improvements in this subdivision are private in nature and will not be maintained by either the Virginia
Department of Transportation or any other public agency. The maintenance thereof is the mutual
obligation of the affected lot owners. Failure to maintain the improvements in substantially the same
condition as originally approved by the County may constitute a violation of County ordinance(s)."
c. The "Tax Map No" and 'Preserved/Managed Slope' notes should reference Sheet 3 Existing Conditions
instead of Sheet 2 proffers.
d. Provide a north arrow on Sheet 3.
e. On Sheet 3, show the rezoning area boundary. Currently, the label is provided, however the feature is not
shown.
f. On Sheet 4, label the rezoning area boundary.
9. [32.5.2(1)(b)] Match lines.
a. The match line on Sheet 5 references Sheet 15 as a continuation of the map, however it looks like the map
is continued on Sheet 11 instead. Review and revise the label reference accordingly.
b. Likewise, the match line on Sheet 11 references Sheets 5 and 7, however the companion match line is not
provided on Sheet 7. Please review and revise as needed.
10. [32.5.2(o)] Greenway. See the requested changes identified by ACPR below concerning the Greenway.

401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596
11. [Comment] Alignment with final subdivision plat. The final site plan proposes a site distance easement on Open
Space B that is not included on the final plat. Please revise or coordinate accordingly.
12. [Comment] Alignment with road plan. As the final site plan and road plan progress, both plans will need to be in
alignment prior to final approval.
13. [Comment] Recording instruments. Prior to approval, the final plan will need to note the recording instruments for
all easements associated with the development.
14. [Comment] Reminder that revised plans should include the original date of drawing and the revision date(s) for
each subsequent version of the plan.

1. In "General Notes' on sheet 1, please revise the "Open Space" notes to clarify that Open Space G (Greenway) will
be dedicated to the County for public use as a greenway. This note currently (incorrectly) states the following:
"SPACE TO BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. ALL OPEN SPACE SHALL
BE RESERVED IN A DEED FOR THE COMMON USE OF LOT OWNERS IN THE SUBDIVISION."
2. [Advisory Note]: If "Open Space G - Greenway Parcel" is dedicated to the County for public use via deed of fee
simple dedication (as is being proposed, in conjunction with the corresponding final plat SUB202100167), then the
labels/notes on this final site plan (SDP202200021) will need to be revised, since they currently annotate Open
Space G as a "Variable Width Greenway Easement to be platted with the Phase III development."
In accordance with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code, if the applicant fails to submit a revised
site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter, the application shall be
deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant.
