Revision 1: June 17, 2022
Subject: SDP202200005 Chick-Fil-A #3187 Canopy Project - Minor Site Plan Amendment
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 SDP202200005. Rev. 1: Please also add the application number
to the first sheet of the plan set. Plan sets are used as the primary reference document for site developments.
Including the application number on the plan set will help minimize confusion for staff and field inspectors in the
future.
2. [Comment] Format. Please combine all plan sheets together into one document. As this is one request to the
County, it will be approved as a single document. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [Comment] Dates.
a. Relatedly, in the plan set, all of the plan sheets should have the same original drawing date and note the
same revision date. The County refers to plans by their original drawing date and date of last revision.
(Note: The ordinance stipulates that revised plans include the original date of drawing and the revision
date(s) for each subsequent version of the plan.) Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. County ordinance
requires that revised plans include two dates, the original drawing date and the last revision date (if there
are revisions over the course of the County review/approval of the plans). Please include a date of last
revision on the plan sheets. There appears to be a placeholder container for this information within the
title blocks already.
b. The Project Narrative that was submitted with the application was dated July 28, 2021, however this
document was not received by the County until the February 7, 2022 submission date. Please revise the
narrative to update the date to either the original submission date (2/7/2022) or a future revision date.
Rev 1: Comment addressed.
4. [Sec 35.1] Fees. There looks to be an outstanding balance on the account for this application in the amount of
$14.10. The total cost for this application is $615.68, not including any transaction fees. Please submit the
outstanding balance through the County Portal and email a copy of the transaction receipt to the Planning

reviewer. Feel free to follow up with the Planner if you feel this is a mistake. Rev 1: Comment addressed. Thank
you.
5. [Comment] Previously approved changes. The Minor Site Plan Amendment should reflect the three previously
approved Letters of Revision (LORs) on this site. Staff will email the approval documents and materials for each of
the aforementioned LORs. In the past, some applicants have integrated this information by identifying on an
overall plan map the location of each LOR and noting the LOR number (LOR #1, LOR #2, LOR #3) and changes
made by the respective LOR. Rev. 1: Comment partially addressed. Thank you for including this information.
Please revise the label for LOR #3 to note that LOR #3 was the "Addition of a payment booth and removal of
some shrubs."
6. [32.6.2(k)] Lighting schedule.
The symbology depicted in the Luminaire Schedule on Sheet ES-1.0 does not seem to match the lighting
symbols used on the plan map. Please review and revise for better alignment. Rev. 1: Comment
sufficiently addressed. The luminaire labels provided with the mapped symbols make clear where
proposed lighting fixtures will be located. (Be advised, the plan map symbol for fixture "L" looks more
similar to the symbol earmarked to represent fixture "OG-1 ETR" by the Luminaire Schedule Table.)
b. There appears to be one additional light along Luxor Rd, close to the intersection of State Route 250,
east of the building, that is not being accounted for in the Luminaire Schedule. Please revise accordingly.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
c. Please see additional comments provided by the ARB reviewer, Margaret Maliszewski, below. Rev. 1-
ARB comments related to the liehtin¢ schedule have been addressed.
d. [Rev. 1] This revision included two (2) additional sheets, Sheets ES2.1 and ES2.2. These sheets appear to
be taken from the approved final site plan, SDP201400053, for informational purposes. This was not
immediately clear to staff, but became clear over the course of the review. To avoid future confusion,
please include the following language: "Submitted for reference only. Sheet showing the Lighting Plan
previously approved with the approval of SDP201400053."
Additional comments based on the revised plan submitted on 5.3.2022:
7. [Comment] Landscape Plan. County Policy for site plan amendments requires that minor amendments
"incorporate all the changes approved with the LORs"; however, based on the limited nature of the changes
proposed by the applicant, staff is satisfied by the plan simply locating and providing brief descriptions of the
changes approved with each LOR. However, with multiple changes to the Landscape Plan made by LOR 1, LOR
2, LOR 3, and this Minor (as suggested by Sheet A-5), staff will be requiring an updated Landscape Plan to be
submitted and approved with this minor amendment. Please include an updated Landscape Plan in the next
plan set submittal.

Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewski@albemarle.org - Requested Changes
The proposed changes are consistent with the Entrance Corridor (EC) guidelines. However, please note that the minor
amendment is required to reflect all changes from the three previous Letters of Revision and plant revisions should be
noted on the complete plant schedule. These are general Planning issues, not items specific to the EC review, and the lead
reviewer in the Planning Division will likely have additional comments.
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.
Please contact Mariah Gleason in the Planning Division by using meleason@albemarle.ore or 434-296-5832 ext. 3097 for
