Subject: SDP - 2009 -085- Animal Wellness Center- Site Plan Waiver
The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County
Department Community Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when
the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that
have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated
based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the
Albemarle County Code.]
1. [20B.7] Sidewalks and Street Trees. Sidewalks and street trees are required in the
Downtown Crozet District. The only way to waive this requirement per the ordinance is
either 1. VDOT prohibits the sidewalks and street trees. Or 2. Existing utility easements
prohibit sidewalks and street trees. Currently, there are no existing utility easements on
this property, nor does VDOT prohibit the establishment of the sidewalks and street trees,
therefore, we cannot waive this requirement. If a sidewalk and street trees are eventually
desired, show the sidewalk and street trees on the plan and bond them until the storm pipe
is built.
2. [Special Use Permit- SP2008 -009 Conditions] No outdoor exercise area is permitted.
Revise the note to state that it is a `walking area' instead.
3. [Condition of approval for alternative location of parking] The condition for the waiver to
allow an alternative location for the parking was to provide screening in accordance with
the Downtown Crozet District requirements and meet Architectural Review Board (ARB)
requirements. Show the screening and make an application for ARB review and approval.
4. [32.6.6] The letter submitted states that the lighting design is not complete, however if
there is proposed outdoor lighting it must be shown on the plan and meet the
requirements of 4.17. Otherwise put a note on plan that there is no outdoor lighting
proposed.
5. [32.5.6(k)] Show the proposed conceptual layout for water and sanitary sewer facilities
and storm drainage facilities including storm detention ponds or structures, indicating
direction of flow in all pipes and watercourses with arrows. This would include the storm
sewer proposed for the Downtown streetscape project at the front and side of the
property.
6. [32.5.6(1)] Show the location of other existing and proposed utilities and utility
easements.
