Dear Mr. Farrell:
In response to your letter requesting a letter of zoning compliance for the Hilton
Garden Inn Hotel that has been constructed on the referenced parcel, please be
advised as follows:
The Property is currently zoned PD -MC, Planned Development -Mixed
Commercial and is proffered per ZMA 1996 -003 (see attached ordinance
section & Proffers). The Property is also in the EC, Entrance Corridor
Overlay District.
• The zoning of abutting properties is also PD -MC.
• Uses that are permitted by right in the C -1, CO and HC zoning districts are
permitted by right in the PD -MC district per § 25.2.1.1 of the Albemarle
County zoning ordinance. Hotels, motels and inns are permitted by right in
the Highway Commercial — HC zoning as per §24.2.1.20 of the ordinance.
Therefore, the hotel is permitted by right on the referenced site.
• A site development plan (SDP- 2005 -030), showing a 124 room hotel with restaurant
and conference facility was, approved on August 10, 2005. The project was built in
accordance with that approved site plan and complies with all zoning regulations.
Specifically, the zoning ordinances and amendments have not been violated with

iv. Height of the structure, or
V. Number of parking spaces
The required parking for this development is 159 spaces, which is met by the

shared parking arrangement is necessary for the parking to be sufficient for
the project.
All required permits, consents and authorizations were obtained when
required and a certificate of occupancy was issued upon completion of
construction. As of this date there are no current or pending zoning violations
against the Property.
There have been no variances granted for the Property. However a special
use permit (SP2006 -029) was approved on September 12, 2006 for an off -
site sign
Please contact this office if you have any questions or require further information.
Sincerely,
Ronald L. Higgins, AICP
