The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.):
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [32.5.2(a)] The owner information provided does not match that shown in County real estate records; verify
that accurate owner information is provided.
2. [32.5.2(a)] It appears that the proposed parking does not meet the required parking setback from Stoney
Ridge Road; please show the building and parking setback lines, and revise the layout to meet this
requirement (or apply for a special exception).
3. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the zoning and present use of abutting parcels
4. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the number of stories in the proposed building.
5. [32.5.2(b)] Clarify if the "offices" proposed are in support of the industrial use. Industrial Offices serving this
use are allowed by -right (see definition), but Independent offices are not.
Industrial Offices: Offices that are owned and operated by the same business entity engaged in a
Laboratories/Research and Development/Experimental Testing, Manufacturing/Processing/
Assembly/Fabrication/Recycling, or a Storage/Warehousing/Distribution/Transportation use located in
Albemarle County or the City of Charlottesville, where the offices provide services to the industrial use
but which need not be on the same site as the industrial use. For the purposes of this definition, "Offices
that are owned and operated by the same business entity" does not mean offices that are part of an
entity that is in an affiliated business entity relationship or a parent -subsidiary relationship with the entity
engaged in the industrial use.
6. [32.5.2(b)] Clarify if any outdoor storage area is proposed. The concept plan discussed at the pre -
application meeting included outdoor storage area, but the submitted plan does not. If any outdoor storage
area is proposed, see section 5.1.52 for requirements.
7. [32.5.2(d)] Show proposed grading on the plan.
8. [32.5.2(e)] Show the existing landscape features (as described in 32.7.9.4) on the existing conditions sheet.
9. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the state route number for Stoney Ridge Road and the pavement widths of both adjacent
roads.
10. [32.5.2(], k)] Verify that all lines and all necessary easements for proposed water, sewer and drainage
facilities have been shown on the plan.
11. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas.
12. [32.5.2(1)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed
ingress and egress.
13. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension the retaining walls.
14. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension the dumpster pad.
15. [32.5.2(p)] Provide a landscape plan that meets all requirements of section 32.7.9 with the Final Site Plan.
Be aware that the proposed utilities along Stoney Ridge Road may make it difficult to meet the street tree
requirement.
16. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.7] Provide information demonstrating how the dumpster will be screened.
17. [Comment] If any off-site easements are required, they must be approved and recorded prior to Site Plan
approval. Since no proposed grading has been provided, it is unknown if any off-site easements are
necessary.
18. [Comment] A retaining wall is shown on the existing conditions sheet, but is labeled "New Retaining Wall";
clarify if this wall is new or existing.
