Comments from SDP2022-00019 — TJACH Premier Circle — Initial Site Plan Action Letter:
The original comments from the review and action letter for SDP2022-00019 are in gray font. Follow-up
comments from the review of the final site plan, SDP2022-00046, are in black font. Please address these follow-
up comments as well.
1. [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

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.

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.

Ordinance. as well as any relevant conditions of the approved special exception and rezoning.
a. The LLF must be at 1.0. Revise the luminaire schedule and associated photometric plan.
31. [32.5.2(o)] Identify all areas, if any, proposed to be dedicated to public use, and identify the entity
(VDOT, the County, etc.) to which those areas will be dedicated. Areas of dedication will require a
plat and/or deed. An easement plat will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to
approval of the final site plan.

including the tree conservation checklist if proposed, as well as any relevant conditions of the
approved special exception and rezoning.
a. Landscaping along Premier Circle must be provided with this phase. Each phase must be
able to stand separately from the others, so street landscaping cannot be delayed until
future phases.

the location of this transit stop and its improvements. 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.
