This parcel TMP 79 -4C is zoned [LI] Light Industrial but has a Rural Area Comprehensive Plan
designation. It is not in the Monticello Historic District (MHD) or Village Residential (VR)
zoning districts, and it has been determined that the critical slopes were created during the
development of the property pursuant to a site plan approved by the county. Current development
staff therefore waives the prohibition of critical slopes on this parcel according to Section 4.2.5.b
of the Albemarle County Code.
