Re: Official Zoning Determination (LOD 2012-005) Mechums Trestle, LLC (Tax Map 57,
Parcel 31A}—Determination on "Nonconforming Parking Lot"
Dear Pete,
This is in response to your letter of determination request dated June 22nd. Your letter asked
for a finding in three areas: setbacks, nonconforming parking and requirement for site plan
approval. My letter dated July 10, 2012 is a final determination with regards to setbacks and the
requirement for site plan approval.
The determination about the "nonconforming parking lot"was made in the July 10th letter and
was later revoked with a September 10th letter. This is a determination under the Zoning
Ordinance and does not constitute a finding under the Water Protection Ordinance or other
regulations that I do not administer. The parking nonconformity addressed herein relates to the
parking setback and not to the design and construction standards for the parking lot.
Nonconforming Parking Lot
As stated in my joint 2005 determination letter with Jack Kelsey (and originally from the letter
dated May 11, 2004), "for the evaluation of parking setback nonconformity when parking is a
permitted use, a parking lot is most similar to a nonconforming accessory structure." The 2005
determination confirmed the presence of parking in this area prior to the 1997 approval of the
site plan (SDP 96-051 Café No Problem)which expired on October 8, 2002. The Mechums
River Farmers Market site plan (SDP 2001-054)was approved on October 4, 2001. The
Wayside Stand plan (SDP 2004-71)was approved by letter from Bill Fritz dated September 29,
2004 (attachment A).
The Wayside Stand use began and onsite accessory parking served the use. This plan has not
expired. This plan was approved with a condition which limited the location of parking to the
"red shaded area shown on the attached plan." The letter further states that the parking limit
was determined by Glenn Brooks based on a field visit to ascertain the extent of nonconforming
parking area. A more recent plan with the Mechums River and buffer is provided in attachment
B. The area in red (the line between the two other lines) corresponds with the 50 ft.
encroachment of the buffer and with the"red shaded area"from the Wayside Stand site plan.
There are approximately three or four parking spaces outside of the 50 ft encroachment and
closer to the river. These spaces are not found to be legally nonconforming because they were
Page 2
LOD 2012-005) Mechums Trestle, LLC—Nonconforming Parking Lot
April 22, 2013
not approved by the most recent approved and commenced site plan.
This nonconforming parking use has continued. As part of my travels between work and home,
I regularly observe parking (of both private and public vehicles) on this property. Vehicle
parking onsite is visible from both the google street view for this property and the 2007 aerial
photos maintained by the County Geographic Information System. While some minor
maintenance has been done, the parking area has been maintained in the then-structural
condition.
§6.3 G "Nonconforming Structures" states:
G. Discontinuance of use of nonconforming structure. Use of a nonconforming
structure shall be discontinued, and the structure shall thereafter comply with the
regulations set forth in this chapter applicable to the district in which the structure
is located, if the occupation or use is discontinued for more than two(2)years,
regardless of whether the prior occupancy or use of the structure was continuous
or seasonal. The two(2)-year period shall be tolled during any periods during
which the owner diligently and in good faith pursues obtaining an occupant or
use for the structure and during the period during which the owner diligently and
in good faith extends, enlarges, repairs, reconstructs or alters a structure as
authorized in this section 6.3.
As evidenced by the spreadsheet you have provided, the property owners have continued to
diligently and in good faith pursue obtaining an occupant or use for the structure. Marketing has
continued during the entire period from 2005 through today. At least five (5) separate actions
have been taken towards either agency approval or construction and design of a use on this
property. In addition, the owners have communicated with 13 different business prospects for
this site.
In summary, the parking area on the subject property that is beyond the 50ft buffer from the
Mechums River is legally nonconforming to parking setbacks. It is an approved accessory use
on the property based on two different site plan approvals. It has continued in essentially the
same use and a similar structural condition. It has not discontinued for more than two years
based on the diligent and good faith efforts to obtain an occupant or use the site. As long as the
nonconforming accessory parking use is maintained, it may serve a future new primary use.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty (30) days
of this notice, in accordance with Virginia Code§ 15.2-2311. If you do not file a timely appeal,
this determination shall be final and unappealable.
An appeal may be taken only by filing an appeal application with the Zoning Administrator and
the Board of Zoning Appeals, in accordance with §34.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, along with a
fee of$240 plus the actual cost of advertising the appeal for public hearing.
Applications for Appeal of the Zoning Administrator's Determination are available at the
Department of Community Development located at 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, Virginia
22902 or online at www.albemarle.org/cdapps. This form applies to the appeal of a decision of
the zoning administrator or any other administrative officer pertaining to the Zoning Ordinance.

RE:SDP 2004—71 Mechum's Trestle Wayside Stand
Dear Sirs:
I have reviewed the plan submitted for a wayside stand on property located at the intersection of Routes 250/240/680. The
plan indicates a small stand area near Route 240 and use of all the parking areas shown on the previously approved,but
now expired,Caf6 No Problem site plan. I cannot approve the plan as submitted but can approve it with the following
condition.
1. Parking is permitted only in the red shaded area shown on the attached plan.
This site is largely included within the Stream Buffer required by the Water Protection Ordinance,17-317B. Generally no
activity is permitted within the stream buffer. However some impact on the stream buffer is permitted based on Section
Sec.17-321 which states in part:
Types of development which may be allowed in stream buffer by program authority.
Development in a stream buffer may be authorized by the program authority in the circumstances
described below,provided that a mitigation plan is submitted to,and approved,by the program authority
pursuant to section 17-322:
3.on a lot which:(a)is located within a water supply protection area;or(b)was of record
on or after the date of adoption offing chapter and is located within other rural land:within the fifty(50)
horizontal feet of stream buffer that is the most landward,but only for stormwater conveyance channels or
other necessary infrastructure,and only if such development is determined by the program authority to be
necessary to allow a reasonable use of the lot.In all cases under this paragraph,the building site and the
sewage disposal system shall be located outside of the stream buffer;
5,on a lot on which the development in the stream buffer will consist of the construction
and maintenance of a driveway or roadway,and the program authority determines that the stream buffer
would prohibit reasonable access to a portion of the lot which is necessary for the owner to have a
reasonable use of the lot;
Glenn Brooks,who may act as the program authority,has field visited the site and determined the limits of the buffer and
it is this information that was used to determine where the parking may be approved. In making his determination staff
has used the location of trees on site which appear to be older than 6 years to determine the extent of any non-conforming
parking area for purposes of the Water Protection Ordinance. (The Water Protection Ordinance was adopted in August
1998).
Neroo
As provided for by the Water Protection Ordinance,you may appeal the decision regarding the limits of the buffer to the
County Engineer,Jack Kelsey and then to the Board of Supervisors.(Reference Section 17-311)
If you have any questions regarding this letter please feel free to contact me.
