RE: Letter of Zoning Compliance- LZC201200034
Tax Map Parcel 07800- 00- 00 -017D6
MedExpress Urgent Care (the "Project ") — 260 Pantops Center (the
"Property ")
Dear Keith:
In response to the request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above
referenced Property, please be advised of the following:
■ . The Property lies within the boundaries of Albemarle County and as the Chief
of Zoning /Deputy Zoning Administrator for the County I am authorized to
execute this letter.
■ The Property is zoned Planned Development Shopping Center (PD -SC). The
regulations of the PD -SC zoning district permit medical offices by- right, thus
the existing use is legally conforming. Residential use of the Property up to a
density of 15 dwelling units per acre would require a special use permit.
■ The Property does not contain any buildings or property located in the 100
Year Flood Plain as shown in the Flood Boundary and Floodway maps
prepared by the Federal Insurance Administration of the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
■ The parking requirement for this Project is 22 with two handicapped
accessible spaces. The Project currently has 92 spaces with three of those
handicapped accessible, thus complying with the parking ordinance, since
the parking is part of the total required for the Pantops Shopping Center.

This office has no record of any outstanding violations for the parcel. A site
inspection conducted on September 12, 2012 showed no deficiencies or
deviations from approved plans, including those approved on June 4, 2012 by
the Architectural Review Board for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
It should be noted that any changes of use which require site or building
modification or additions are required to comply with the applicable zoning
laws in the future. Also, the approved Shopping Center, of which this
Property is a part, has a maximum amount of gross square footage that has
been reached. Any additional floor area will require an amendment to the
PD -MC zoning in order to increase the amount of floor area.
■ In the event of casualty to the Project, in whole or part, the structure may be
rebuilt in its current form (i.e. no loss of sq. footage).
■ All utilities required in connection with this Project are available in sufficient
capacity as is necessary for the Project as shown on the approved building
plans.
■ This Project complies with applicable subdivision regulations of Albemarle
County.
■ The current use and improvements for the above Property are in compliance
with all applicable zoning codes, rules and regulations of the zoning district.
■ No application for rezoning of the real estate portion of the Project, special
use permit, conditional use, or variance required in connection with this
Project, is now pending.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need further assistance.
Sin rely,
Ronald L. Higgins, AIC
Chief of Zoning /Deputy Zoning Administrator
