This letter is based on a review of our records and an inspection of the site. The above referenced property is zoned Planned Residential Development (PRD), with an underlying density of Residential, R-15. These parcels are in the Airport Protection Overlay District. Multi -family apartments are permitted by right in this zoning district. The developments on these parcels were approved by site plan under the old zoning ordinance adopted April 15, 1968. These parcels were subsequently zoned to PRD without an application plan as part of the County's comprehensive rezoning in 1980. Absent an application plan which usually sets density and design standards for planned residential district, the project itself, as currently developed becomes the standard. Therefore, the project complies with the zoning ordinance as a planned residential district and may continue as it exists. However, any change in density, design, or use would require compliance with the current Albemarle County zoning ordinance. For your information, our records indicate the following: IADEPMCMDetermin of Compliance\2005 Compliance\Comp-2005-3 Trophy Chase.doc Trophy Chase Apartments March 24, 2005 Page 2 • Parcel 1 contains 104 dwelling units in 6 structures on 4.217 acres.

These items must either be removed or shown on an amended site development plan. • The flags next to the entrance are considered to be pennants which are prohibited signs. It is the policy of this department to purge building permit files after three years. Copies of Certificates of Occupancy are maintained on microfilm. Therefore, we have not retained any copies of Certificates of Occupancy associated with this project. Furthermore, the absence of a Certificate of Occupancy for the project will not give rise to any enforcement action. Please be aware that interior renovation that does not involve a change of use does not require a Certificate of Occupancy.
