RE: ZMA-08-004 NGIC Expansion (Revised) - Zoning Map Amendment
SP2008-045 NGIC Expansion — Special Use Permit
SP2008-046 NGIC Expansion — Special Use Permit
Dear Mr. Collins:
Thank you for your recent submittal received on August 20th for the above noted project for Tax
Map and Parcels 33-1D (portion).
The following comments are provided to help you meet requirements for CO (Commercial Office) District
and address staff concerns:
Proffers:
• As you may be aware, your request for a parking modification has been approved with
conditions that tie the storage use directly to the office uses on the upper four floors of each
office building. The proffers include compliance with the application plan that includes the
parking and use breakdown of the proposed buildings, which is consistent with the modification
approval. The Proffer Statement needs to be revised to reflect the latest revision date for the plan
dated 8-18-08 as referenced in proffer #4.
• The applicant has also indicated a willingness to proffer that the basement of building one and
the two basements of building two will be used for general, file and/or data storage.
• Revised proffers need to be submitted.
Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA):
9 At this time, ACSA cannot accept the projected wastewater flows until all improvements to the
Camelot Wastewater Treatment Plant are complete.
Other Issues:
• Since changes to the site are proposed due to the slight relocation of the residential building, a
revised site plan will be required.
• The plan submitted with this application uses a pond to be constructed on the adjacent federal
property for stormwater management. The army claims to be exempt from all County review.
Therefore, it is not known whether this site meets the County Water Protection Ordinance
requirements. While it is recommended that this be demonstrated prior to any additional
approvals on this property, in any case, this will be required prior to approval of site plans or site
plan amendments.
After you have reviewed these comments, if you wish to meet with staff on the comments, please let me
know and I will set up a meeting.
When you are ready to resubmit, please provide that re -submittal on a re -submittal Monday (see attached
schedule). Make sure to put my name on the cover page of your re -submittal. After you have
resubmitted, staff will provide a set of written comments for your review prior to setting a public
hearing. In those comments, we will advise you as to whether all substantive issues have been resolved
or if additional resolution is needed.
A public hearing with the Planning Commission will not be advertised until you advise us that the
project is ready to proceed to a public hearing. At that time, the legal advertisement will be run in the
newspaper and a staff report will be prepared to go to the Planning Commission.
Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the Planning
Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The only exception to
this rule will be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the project proposal by the
applicant or more issues identified by staff that has not previously been brought to the applicant's
attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the Planning Commission meeting.
Additional questions or comments may occur at a future date. If you have questions or need
additional information, please feel free to call me at 296-5832 x 3250 or send me an e-mail at
cgrant@albemarle.oriz .
