following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the
Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Albemarle County Planning Division (Planner) Comments - Cameron Langille, blangille@albemarle.org - Requested
changes:
1. [General Comment] Please update the site plan title on the cover sheet so that it states "Minor Site Plan
Amendment - SDP202200064." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. [18-32.5.2 (a)] Update the zoning note on the cover sheet so that it states that the property is within the FH Flood
Hazard Overlay District and the Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay District. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2 (b)] Please state the square footage of the existing building on the cover sheet. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
4. [32.5.2 (b)] Please provide a parking calculation on the cover sheet. Per Section 18-4.12.6, restaurants are required
to have 13 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area including areas for accessory dancing. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
5. [18-32.5.2 0); 18-32.5.2 (1)] Please show and label all existing easements on the site plan. State the easement type,
dimensions, and state the recorded instrument number that created the easement in a label for each existing
easement. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. [18-4.12.16) Please label the dimensions of all proposed parking spaces on Sheet C3.0. 30-degree angled parking
spaces must be a minimum 9' x 18' and must be adjacent to a one-way travelway that is a minimum of 12' wide.
The two parking angled spaces adjacent to the dumpster at the southwest parcel corner do not appear to meet this
requirement. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
a. [18-4.12.15 (e)] The two parking spaces next to the dumpster pad extend into the dumpster pad on Sheet
C3.0. Per the Zoning Ordinance, parking spaces cannot encroach into any loading aisles. Staff suggests
removing those two parking spaces from the site plan. Please revise the cover sheet and the provided
parking table on Sheet C3.0 so that they state that 35 parking spaces are provided. Based on staff's review
of the proposed parking, there are only 35 parking spaces that meet dimension requirements shown on
Sheet C3.0. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. [18-32.5.2 (n)] Please label the surface materials and dimensions all travelways, drive -through lanes, sidewalks, and
other hardscape features on the plans. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.

a. Per the drive-thru dimension details shown on Sheet C3.1, the drive -through lanes do not meet the
minimum 11' width requirement of Section 18-5.1.60 (g). Please revise the drive -through lanes so that
they meet the minimum 11' width requirement. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
b. Please be advised that the travelway adjacent to the drive -through lanes must be a minimum of 12' wide
adjacent to 35-degree angled parking, as specified in Sections 18-4.12.17(c), and 20' wide when adjacent
to perpendicular parking as specified in Section 18-4.12.16 (c)(1). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. [18-32.5.2 (1); 18-5.1.60 (I)] The travelway on the south side of the building is shown as a two-way travelway.
However, there is no landscaped separation feature as required by Section 32.7.9.5 (b), (c), (d), and (e). The
travelway should be revised so that directional arrows indicate that it is for one-way travel only. See Engineering
comment #3 for further information. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
a. Sheet C3.0 keynote #3 references detail SD-1.2 on Sheet C3.1. If the travelway is revised to be one-way,
please update the directional arrow detail on SD-1.2 so that it only contains a one-way directional arrow.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9. [18-32.5.2 (p);18-32.7.9] Keynote #7 on Sheet C2.0 indicates that some existing landscaping will be removed.
Please provide more specificity on the exact landscaping within that area that is proposed to be removed. If any of
that landscaping was required on the previous site plan (SDP199900123) to meet the landscaping regulations of
Section 18-32.7.9 of the Zoning Ordinance, a landscaping plan may be needed to demonstrate compliance with all
applicable landscaping regulations for the site. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
10. [18-32.7.8; 18-4.17] Please see ARB comment #2. Please update the details on Sheet SD-1.1 to specify the level
of illumination for the canopy board LED lighting. A lighting plan demonstrating compliance with all applicable
regulations contained in Section 18-4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance may be required. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.

addressed.
