SECOND LETTER OF CORRECTION
Dear Mr. Slagle:
On April 6, 2005, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP 2004-031 to allow
establishment of an indoor gym in accordance with Section 27.2.2(15) of the Zoning Ordinance, which
allows for indoor athletic facilities in LI - Light Industrial Districts on Tax Map 61 W Section 3, Parcel 18
in the Rio Magisterial zoning district. This special use permit was approved based on the following
conditions:
1. This Special Use Permit (SP 2004-031) for an indoor athletic facility is granted for up to sixty
thousand (60,000) square feet of area within the existing physical building itself and not
simply the footprint of the building. Any enlargement of the area of use beyond the sixty
thousand (60,000) square feet will require amendment of this Special Permit;
2. The indoor athletic facility shall have no more than three thousand five hundred (3500)
members;
3. Pedestrian access shall be provided along at least one (1) side of the existing entrance road
from Greenbrier Drive to the site, as shown on the attached concept plan submitted as part of
the Special Use Permit application (dated September 3,2004, revised March 24,2005 and
initialed by TRS). The pedestrian path shall consist of striping of a pedestrian way on
the street or shoulder of the existing entrance road, if approved by VDOT, or a concrete or
asphalt path meeting the standards in the Design Standards manual. The pedestrian path shall
be in place prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the indoor athletic facility;
4. The existing driveway access to the site from Commonwealth Drive shall be upgraded as
necessary to accommodate two-way traffic, to the satisfaction of the County Engineer;
5. The gated access to the site from Commonwealth Drive shall remain open during all hours
the indoor athletic facility is open for business; and
6. The permit shall remain valid if the use is commenced within five (5) years.
