To Whom it May Concern:
In response to your request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above referenced
Property, please be advised of the following:
• The Property is zoned Rural Areas ("RA"). The permitted uses of the Property are provided
in Section 10 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code ("Zoning Ordinance"), linked
below. The current uses of the Property are consistent with those permitted by RA zoning.
The Property is subject to the Steep Slopes and Entrance Corridor Overlay Districts
described in Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The Property is subject to multiple site development plans, the most recent of which is
SDP199200018, approved April 9, 1992. This plan has been amended several times, most
recently with SDP200600019, approved June 6, 2006.
• The Property is subject to multiple special use permits: SP197200228, approved February
28, 1973, and SP197600028, approved May 5, 1976, to allow gift, craft, and antique shops,
SP199900029, approved August 11, 1999, to amend the conditions of previous approvals,
and SP199800042, approved October 21, 1998, to allow off -site parking. Each special use
permit approval is subject to conditions.
• There is no rezoning, proffered condition, or variance associated with the Property.
• To the best of my knowledge, the Property is currently in compliance with all applicable
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. A review of our files found (i) no zoning or building
violations applicable to the Property, whether pending, contemplated, or having already
occurred, (ii) no fees due or pending with respect to any matter before the County Zoning
Office and (iii) no pending application for rezoning of the Property or for a special or
conditional use permit or variance in connection with the Property. Further, no proceedings
to challenge the zoning or other governmental approval or use of the Property is pending or
overtly threatened to the best of my knowledge.
• This office is not aware of any proceedings, pending or threatened, to revoke, rescind, alter,
or declare invalid any laws, ordinances, codes, approvals, permits or certificates applicable
to or issued in connection with the Property.

current form upon satisfaction of all required building permits and site plans, as applicable.
