Subject: SUB 20080092 - AOC Two Lot Subdivision — Tax Map 32 Parcel 48
It cannot be approved for the following reasons. The subdivision plat shows existing parking within the
proposed "Lot B." Chapter 18 Section 23.2.2 (4) of the Albemarle County Code provides that "stand
alone parking" in the Commercial Office (CO) zoning district requires a Special Use Permit. The act of
creating "Lot B" as shown on the plat designates the existing parking as "stand alone" because there is
no other use on the proposed property. There is no structure on the proposed parcel or other permitted
primary use that would make the parking a permitted accessory use. If there was a structure, office
building or use the parking would not have to be considered "stand alone." There is no waiver to this
process stand alone parking is permitted only by special use permit.
The alternatives that staff has identified to allow this plat to be approved are:
1. Obtain a special use permit for stand alone parking, or
2. Revise the plat so that the parking is on the same new parcel as the existing building.
In addition you must revise any future plat to include:
• 14 -303 S. Control points. Please show at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across
the property and located at survey property corners, and shown on each sheet depicting the
property. At the option of the subdivider, the control points may be shown on a copy of the
final plat, rather than on the original final plat.
The plat as submitted is complete and contains all the required information for signing except for the
owner's notarized signature and the addition of control points. However, until the zoning issue is
addressed the County cannot approve the plat.
If I may be of further assistance please don't hesitate to call.
