Subject: SDP 2010 -00087 Great Escapes Movie Theater at HTC Final Prior to Preliminary Site Plan
The County of Albemarle Division of Zoning and Current Development will grant or recommend approval of
the final prior to preliminary site plan referred to above once the following comments have been addressed:
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. This proposal has been submitted as a final prior to a preliminary. The ordinance contemplates the
approval of a preliminary site plan prior to the submittal of a final site plan. However, by interpretation
the ordinance does allow the submittal of a final prior to approval of a preliminary. No mechanism
exists in the ordinance for the County to approve with conditions a final site plan. Therefore, if the site
plan does not have all necessary approvals to allow signature by the revision deadline the County will
deny your application. You may request that this project be changed from a final to a preliminary site
plan which may allow the County to approve the plan with conditions or you may request that the
County defer taking a formal action on your application.
2. Add the Site plan Number SDP2010 -00087 to the cover sheet for present and future reference.
3. [32.5.6.b] Add the proposed uses and maximum acreage occupied by each use to the General notes on
the cover sheet. The uses are specified, but the maximum square footage (s) of the uses is not listed.
4. [32.5.6.b] [4.12.8.e] Schedule of parking including maximum amount required and amount provided.
Please provide a narrative that illustrates the shared parking arrangement. This narrative should be
addressed to the Zoning Administrator. This narrative will supplement the shared parking study
included on the site plan. Movie Industry parking requirements and standards need to be taken into
account. All businesses involved in the shared parking may need to sign a shared parking agreement.
Recordable documents detailing shared parking will be required. [4.12.8.e] Instrument assuring
continuation of off -site parking. If stand -alone parking or off -site shared parking is to be provided, the
applicant shall submit with the application for a site plan, site plan waiver or, if a site plan is not
required, with an application for a zoning compliance clearance, an instrument that restricts the use of
that part of the land on which parking is provided to that use, and assures that a minimum number of
parking spaces as required by this section shall be established and maintained for the life of the use.
The instrument shall be in a form that is suitable for recording, shall be subject to review and approval
as to form and substance by the county attorney, and shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of the
circuit court of the county before the site plan or site plan waiver is approved. As the parking
requirements for the use or structure change, subsequent instruments may be submitted, reviewed,
approved and recorded that rescind or modify the prior instrument.
5. The site plan does not match the approved application plan (ZMA 2010 -6). Proposed residential
buildings that appear on the application plan are missing.
6. [32.5.6.c] If phasing is planned, phase lines and proposed timing and development: The phasing
