RE: Shull Property Narrative
The attached shall serve as the proposal for Shull Property narrative to serve alongside the
Application Plan and Application that has also been submitted. The Special Use Permit request is
to allow the proposed Auto Repair Shop use within the Rural Areas Zoning.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The Special Use Permit that is being applied for is intended to allow an automobile repair shop use
on TMP 121 -861, the RA Zoning area. The following uses are being applied for Per Section 5.1 .3 of
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance: Automobile or truck repair shops, motorcycle and off -
road vehicle service shops, and public garages. Per County Zoning Ordinance, these uses are
permitted through the Special Use Permit application process.
On this project site, the user would like to fill the needs of surrounding residents by providing an
automobile repair shop. By making available the services associated with the requested use, the
proposed auto repair shop would benefit the community by providing employment opportunities
and providing auto repair service to those in need.
The proposed site on TMP 121-861 meets ARB Entrance Corridor requirements by providing
screening through existing dense vegetation which is preserved by a SWM Forest & Open Space
easement along all sides of the boundary of the parcel.
The requested use "Automobile Repair Shop" is listed in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance
under Section 5.1.31, and therefore, items a.-d. have been considered:
a. All parts, materials, and equipment will be stored within the proposed building on -site.
b. Existing dense vegetation and a SWM Forest and Open Space easement are proposed in order
to screen the site, including anyvehicle awaiting repair, from all public streets and residential
properties.
c. All automobile repair services will be performed within the proposed building on -site.
d. The proposed building is over 50 feet from the property line in every direction.

CONSISTENCY WITH COMPRESHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed use is in concert with the Comprehensive Plan which encourages "economic drivers,
which are business, industry, the University and other governmental agencies." The requested use
is in line with encouraging the County's future growth, as depicted in the Albemarle County Master
Plan, while also promoting the preservation of Rural Areas by providing a vegetated buffer as wells
as SWM and Forest and Open Space area.
There is an existing VDOT Area Headquarters and a country store across Coles Rolling Road from
the project site. The rest of the adjacent properties are residential.
IMPACTS ON PUBLIC FACILITIES & PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
The Shull Property proposed automobile repair shop will be served by a well and septic system.
An existing entrance on Coles Rolling Road is being utilized.
IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES
The existing site does not impact a Water Protection Ordinance buffer or any other conservation
area.
A stormwater management facility is being proposed on -site in order to meet VSMP water quality
and quantity requirements.
Shull Property's automobile repair shop will follow all guidelines with respect to disposal of
automotive fluids, batteries, tires and scrap metal.
Sincerely,
Clint Shifflett, PE
