[ZMA2020-00011] The final site plan must demonstrate conformance with the application plan, the code of development, and the proffer statement approved by the Board of Supervisors with the zoning map amendment request ZMA2020-00011 Comment still applies. 2. [SE2020-00023] The final site plan must demonstrate conformance with the special exception approved by the Board of Supervisors with the request SE2020-00023. Comment still applies. 3. [General Comment] The final site plan must demonstrate conformance with all requirements of Section 18-32.6 of the Zoning Ordinance. The checklist for the initial site plan requirements is helpful as a good place to start. That checklist can be found at the following link: httos://www.albemarle.org/home/showoublisheddocu ment/1014/637540811404730000. Comment still applies. 4. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide the zoning district, and all zoning overlay districts, that apply to the subject property. The zoning district is NMD. The applicable zoning overlay districts are Managed Steep Slopes, Airport Impact Area, and Entrance Corridor. Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet of the plan, identify the approved ZMA and SE requests that apply to Review Comments Page 2 of 6 this project - ZMA2020-00011 and SE2020-00023. Comment addressed. 6. [32.5.2(a)] Provide copies of the ordinance, resolution, and proffer statement, including any conditions of approval, on the site plan. Also include a copy of the approved resolution for SE2020- 00023 on this sheet 7. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide the assigned site plan number. Also provide the final site plan application number - SDP2022-00046. 8. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide a full signature panel for the signatures of all relevant County and partner agency officials, for when the site plan is ready to be approved. Comment addressed. 9. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the source of the topography and the source of the survey. Comment addressed. 10. [32.5.2(a)] Provide, on the cover sheet, the most recently recorded legal instrument information for the subject property and Premier Circle. Comment addressed. 11. [32.5.2(a)] Clarify the uses proposed by each block/phase. The use is listed as accessible supportive housing; however, Block 1 does not allow residential uses. Also, provide the number of residential units proposed, and the density of the development. The use of accessible supportive housing is not one of the permitted uses in the code of development. Use the COD language to identify the proposed use. Comments still apply. The labels for the blocks appear to be mixed up. Block 1, according to the ZMA, is the smaller and southernmost portion of the parcel, along Route 29; however, the overall phasing plan on sheet C0.1 and the acreage notes on the cover sheet identify this area as block 2. What page of the code of development is supportive housing on? Special needs housing does not appear as a listed use either. The language of the COD must be used. Provide the density of Phase 1. 12. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet of the plan, revise the setback notes. Several of the stated setbacks do not match what is listed in the approved COD for this development. The side and rear setbacks for Block 2 are flipped under the setback notes on the cover sheet. 13. [32.5.2(b)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide the proposed use and the maximum acreage of the site occupied by each use, including by each block of the proposed development. See comment number 11 above. Accessible supportive housing does not appear as a listed use in the COD. Use the language provided in the COD. 14. [32.5.2(b)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide the percentage and acreage of open space. Provide the specific amount proposed for Phase 1, on the cover sheet. 15. [32.5.2(b)] On the cover sheet of the plan, provide the maximum height of all structures, including number of stories, as there is a limit on stories identified in the COD. The maximum building height for Block 2 appears to be four stories, not three as is listed on the cover sheet. 16. [32.5.2(b)] On the cover sheet of the plan, revise the schedule of parking on the site. The parking requirements are based on use, not on the phase in which it is developed. With 80 units provided in phase 1, a minimum of 28 parking spaces are required (if all 80 units are less than 500 sq.ft.). Also, ensure there continues to be sufficient parking provided based on the other buildings that are proposed to remain, along with their unit type. Clarify how many parking spaces will remain in the other phase areas. Those continuing uses must also have sufficient parking while Phase 1 is redeveloped. Review Comments Page 3 of 6 17. [32.5.2(b)] Clarify how many units (and of what type/square footage/number of bedrooms) are remaining in the existing buildings that will continue to operate along with the new phase one building. This clarification is also needed to help staff accurately count the number of required parking spaces. What is remaining in use in the other phase areas while Phase 1 is redeveloped? It appears that the buildings in phases 2 and 3 will continue to be in use for the time -being. Those continuing uses must be accounted for when providing parking, to ensure too much parking is not removed. 18. [32.5.2(b)] On the landscape plan, provide the maximum amount of paved parking and other vehicular circulation areas. Comment addressed. 19. [32.5.2(c)] If the development is proposed to be phased, as it appears to be, provide clear phase lines on the site layout sheets identifying the various proposed phases. All improvements and features required by each phase must be included within the appropriate phase lines. Also, clearly delineate between Block 1 and Block 2 on the site layout sheet. Revise the block numbers on the overall development plan sheet. They appear to be flipped from how they are identified in the approved rezoning. There appears to be additional parking included in the phase 1 lot that is not depicted as being a part of phase 1 on the overall development plan sheet. The phase lines also need to include the work that is proposed to be done to Premier Circle. 20. [32.5.2(e)] Provide the existing landscape features on the site, as described in section 32.7.9.4(c). Comment addressed. 21. [32.5.2(f)] Indicate whether the site is located within the watershed of a public water supply reservoir. Revise the cover sheet. Meadow Creek is not located within a public water supply watershed. 22. [32.5.2(i)] On the site plan, provide any existing or proposed access easement, rights -of -way, and travelways. Comment addressed. 23. [32.5.2(i)] On the site plan, provide the right-of-way lines and widths for all adjacent streets or other rights -of -way. Comment addressed. 24. [32.5.2(i)] On the site plan, provide the centerline radii and pavement widths for any proposed travelways. Comment addressed. 25. [32.5.2(j); 32.5.2 (k)] Label all existing and proposed water, sewer, and storm drainage easements by type and include a size/width measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. For proposed easements, an easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded at the courthouse prior to approval of the final site plan being granted. An easement plat will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to approval of the final site plan. 26. [32.5.2(1)] Label all existing and proposed utility easements by type and include a size/width measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. For proposed easements, an easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded at the courthouse prior to approval of the final site plan being granted. An easement plat will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to approval of the final site plan. 27. [32.5.2(m)] Provide the location of the existing and proposed ingress to and egress from the property. Comment addressed. Review Comments Page 4 of 6 28.

This transit stop will be required to be constructed following commencement of the construction of Phase 1. An LOR or minor site plan amendment may be required at that time for this transit stop, as the proposed improvements are not currently shown on this site plan. 36.
