Currently the building is classified as Group R-3 (residential), and the proposed use is classified as Group M (mercantile). The Construction Type is V -B. Based on our conversation at the site, and the presentation included with the zoning clearance request, only the enclosed/finished garage and sun porch area is being considered for mercantile use. Due to the predicted small occupant load and the readily accessible means of egress from this area, use of the designated area for artwork sales is acceptable in accordance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. It is understood that the detached garage contains displays of artwork, but that the public does not actually enter the building. The information herein is intended to reflect the concerns of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Please maintain contact with the Zoning Administrator's office to verify compliance with the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. Sincerely, J? Schlothauer Building Official JS/js cc: Keith Huckstep Rebecca Ragsdale Reading Pile
