Revision 2: November 22, 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
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.
Rev. 2: Reminder that revised plans must include the original date of drawing and the revision dates) of
each subsequent version of the plan.
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 bean 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." Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
6. [32.6.2(k)] Lighting schedule.
a. 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 lighting 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." Rev. 2: Comment addressed. Thank you.
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.
Rev. 2: Staff has reviewed the Landscaping Plan sheet and has the following comments (see below). Overall, the
landscape plan is not currently showing the level of detail needed for approval.
a. The Landscape Plan on Sheet L-100 should clearly indicate plantings: (1) To Remain, (2) Be removed, and
(3) Be added. The current plan map is difficult to decipher with both grey and black linework being used
to represent existing plantings that will remain and the trees to remain being represented by two symbols
- one grey, one black. Revise the Landscape Plan to show one symbol for each plant species and
reorganize colors and/or notes to fit into the three aforementioned categories. Staff have provided an
amended Landscaping Plan from another development as an example of an approvable plan (see
document attached).
b. Show the three maple trees that front the property in the right-of-way along Rt. 250/Richmond Rd. Staff
wants to ensure that these trees will not be accidentally removed by future work on this parcel.

401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596
c. On Sheet A-5, remove Notes 1 and 3 and allow Sheet L-100 to provide the accounting of the shrubs and
ground cover. These notes, as they currently exist, create confusion as they seem to direct the GC and
the County, in determining onsite compliance, to refer to 4 plans (the original site plan and all of the
previously approved LORs (3)). This site plan amendment should instead act as the single, consolidated,
updated Landscape Plan for this site moving forward.
d. On the Landscaping Plan, give an accounting of the shrub plantings on the property, similar to the
example landscaping plan and approved landscaping plan for this development. Information to be
provided includes the botanical name, common name, planting size (e.g. caliper or height at planting), and
quantity.
e. Consider combining the planting lists under Section A. Site Tree Canopy and the bottom of the page into
one table that includes botanical name, common name, planting size (e.g. caliper or height at planting),
quantity, and canopy square footage for all trees and shrubs that will be greater than 5ft in height at 10-
years maturity, per Sec. 32.7.9.8(b)).
f. There seems to be a discrepancy between the plant lists on this page. Is the fourth tree species supposed
to be Black Gum or Wildfire Tupelo? Please review and revise accordingly.
g. Staff cannot confirm the Canopy Square Footages (SF) noted under the Landscape Requirements Section
A. What is the source of this information? Staff use the County Plant Canopy Calculations document
(https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/l020/637551114418370000) when
reviewing canopy calculations. Staff suggest aligning the canopy calculations provided in the plan with
this document to expedite review.
h. Since this property falls within the Entrance Corridor overlay district, update Section B. Street Trees to
note that the street tree requirement for Richmond Rd. is 198LF/35LF and Luxor Rd is 458LF/40LF.
i. Consequently, please update the "provided" section under Section B. Street Trees to demonstrate that
the aforementioned requirement is being met.
j. If trees or shrubs are being planted, provide a planting detail.
k. If tree protection will be needed/used during construction, locate where tree protection fencing will be
used and provide a detail.
I. On the landscaping plan, include a signed copy of the Conservation Plan Checklist (attached) since
existing plantings will be used to meet the landscaping requirements.
m. Staff suggest reordering the sheets such that the Landscape Plan and Partial Landscape Plan are back-to-
back, generally for clarity and also ease of reference.
n. Reminder that Sheets L-100 and A-5 must be in alignment with one another.
Additional comments based on the revised plan submitted on 9.28.2022:
8. [Comment] Under Project Data on the Cover Sheet, update Note 3 to state that the Landscaping Plan is being
revised.
9. [Comment] Under Project Data on the Cover Sheet, update Note 5 to state that the subject property is within the
Entrance Corridor and Managed Steep Slopes Overlay districts.

Be sure the landscape plan includes all landscaping required by previous approvals/amendments/LORs. The three maple
trees in the front "lawn" are missing from the plan. Check for consistency throughout.
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
