RE: ZMA -08 -007 ATNA Building - Zoning Map Amendment
SP2008 -067 ATNA Building — Special Use Permit
Dear Ms. Salmon:
Thank you for your recent re- submittal received on July 6ffi for the above noted projects for Tax
Map and Parcel 32 -48; Lot A.
The following comments are provided to help you meet requirements for C -1 (Commercial) District and a
special use permit for the operation of a veterinary services clinic, and address staff concerns:
Zoning:
• Do you still plan on installing lowland fencing? Perhaps we missed it. We did not see a description of
the lowland fencing. If you plan on installing lowland fencing, we will need a description.
Current Development:
• As you have previously discussed with Bill Fritz, the Chief of Current Development, approval
of a minor site plan amendment is now required, since you are proposing a fence along the
property line. The plan may be approved administratively.
Architectural Review Board (ARB):
• The proposal for a fence is currently being reviewed administratively by the ARB.
Proffers:
• Proffers were submitted after this re- submittal and are currently under review by staff. Comments will
be sent after review by staff.
Other Issues•
• Staff is currently working on a list of conditions for the special use permit.
• Staff recommends that future re- submittals be coordinated and submitted at the same time to avoid
confusion of multiple reviews occurring for the same project.
• The submittal received on July 2& is currently under review by staff.
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. 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 .
Sincerely,
Claudette Grant
Senior Planner
