The permitted uses of the LI zoning district are provided in Section 26 & 27 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code ("Zoning Ordinance"), linked below. The property is subject to the Entrance Corridor, Steep Slopes, Flood Hazard, and Airport Impact Area Overlay Districts as described in Section 30 of Chapter 18 of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is not part of a planned development. The Property abuts the Seminole Trail right-of-way and is subject to Section 30.6 - Entrance Corridor Overlay District. Approval of outdoor storage, display and/or sales serving or associated with a permitted use that is visible from the EC must be granted through obtaining a Special Use Permit. The Property is subject to Section 4.14 — Performance Standards. A Zoning Clearance must be obtained prior to establishment of a new non-residential use, change or intensification of an existing use, or change of occupant, per Section 31.5. Prior to the issuance of a zoning clearance or approval of a final site plan, each prospective occupant of a use of an industrial character must submit a Certified Engineer's Report for review of compliance with performance standards. To the best of my knowledge, there are no prohibitions of the Zoning Ordinance regarding 24/7 operations if the proposed use adheres to the aforementioned performance standards. • The Property is subject to Zoning Map Amendment ZMA198100019, approved July 1, 1981, which rezoned the Property from Rural Areas to Light Industrial. The Property was originally developed with Site Development Plan SDP198700008, approved September 16, 1987, for the construction of one 12,000sf warehouse and associated parking. This plan was later amended by, and is currently subject to, SDP199900133, approved February 17, 2000, for the construction of an additional 48,000sf warehouse and office with associated parking. Further modifications or improvements to the Property may necessitate an amendment to this plan and are subject to review for compliance with Entrance Corridor regulations. • The Property is subject to Variance VA199100037, approved October 8, 1991, with regard to signage. March 29, 2024 LZC202400013 Page 2 • There are no additional Special Use Permits, Special Exceptions, Zoning Map Amendments or Variances associated with the Property. • Information regarding Certificates of Occupancy may be obtained by contacting the department's Building Division: Michael Dellinger (mdellincier(c).albemarle.oro) or Betty Slough (bSIOUgh(a)albemarle.orcI). Copies of existing Certificates of Occupancy may be obtained via request through the department's Records Manager, Paul Bjornsen, as noted below. • Zoning designations adjacent to the Property are as follows: North: Rural Areas, South: Heavy Industrial, East: Planned Residential Development, West: Seminole Trail right-of-way. Adjacent zoning designations may be viewed on the Zoning Map, linked below. • To the best of my knowledge, the Property is currently in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. A review of our files found (i) no pending zoning or building violations applicable to the Property (ii) no fees due or pending with respect to any matter before the County Zoning Office and (iii) no pending application for rezoning of the Property or for a special or conditional use permit or variance in connection with the Property. Further, no proceedings to challenge the zoning or other governmental approval or use of the Property is pending or overtly threatened to the best of my knowledge. • If the Property contains physical development approved with a site plan, then in the event of casualty, the Property may be rebuilt substantially in the same form upon satisfaction of all required building permits and site plans, as applicable. The threshold that would necessitate a new use permit, variance, or other approval is unknown until a proposal is made. • Albemarle County's Zoning Division has no record of current or future plans for roadway construction, easements, land condemnation proceedings, or other activity that would impact the placement of property lines, affect immediately surrounding rights -of -way, or disrupt traffic flow in proximity to the Property. • To the best of my knowledge, the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance information available on the County website is current and accurate. • Copies of any relevant records may be obtained via the noted links or the Community Development Department Records Public Access link below. If unable to find the records, then a request through the department's Records Manager, Paul Bjornsen, at pbiornsen(a)albemarle.oro may be made. If the request is not based in Virginia, it will take longer to fulfill. Please contact me at ebusching(a)albemarle.oro or (434) 296-5832 ext. 3004 if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Ethan P.
