RE: Tax Map 61, Parcel 134, BB&T Bank
1425 Seminole Trail, Charlottesville, VA
To Whom It May Concern:
In response to your request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance, please be advised of
the following:
• The above referenced parcel is zoned Commercial Office (CO) and is located
in the Entrance Corridor (EC) Overlay District. The parcel is not part of a
Planned Unit Development,
• The property is developed as a financial institution which is operating as BB&T
Bank, Financial institutions are a by -right permitted use in the HC district.
Drive-thru facilities are allowed by Special Use Permit, however, there is no
subject SID to allow the drive thru facilities. This building predates the current
zoning ordinance, therefore, the existing drive thru's are a legally non-
conforming use.
• There was a special use permit, SP1977-52, and an accompanying zoning
text amendment (ZTA1 977-07) to allow a helistop on the property. The
heliport was never constructed and the SP has since expired.
• The latest site development plan, SDP2003-42, shows a four story bank with
office space and allows a 20,230 square foot building served by 92 parking
spaces.
• The parcel is bordered by property zoned Planned Development Shopping
Center (PD -SC) along the north and partially northeast; by property zoned
Planned Unit Development (PUD) along the south and southeast. The parcels
across Route 29 (Seminole Trail) are zoned Commercial and PD -SC. A
zoning map of adjacent parcels is attached.

• A site inspection was conducted on May 21, 2008 at which time the zoning
inspector identified a clumpster located in the front parking area. This is not
an approved location for a dumpster. Therefore it is in violation of the site
plan and zoning ordinance. A Notice of Violation will be issued.
• This office has no record of additional open violations for this parcel.
• Property records indicate that this building was constructed in 1979. 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. You may obtain a copy of a Certificate of
Occupancy for an additional fee of $25.00 each.
Please contact me if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
/John Shepherd
Manager of Zoning Administration
