RE: ARB -2016-53: Malloy Ford Outdoor Safes/Storage/
Dear Ms. Long,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on June 6, 2016, completed an advisory
review of the above -noted request to establish an auto dealership with outdoor sales/storage/display of
automobiles. The Board by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning
Commission:
The ARB expresses no objection to the special use permit/rezoning, subject to the following conditions:
1. Vehicles shall be displayed or stored only in areas indicated for display or storage on the plan
entitled "Conceptual Special Use Application Plan for Malloy Ford" dated April 18, 2016 (the
Concept Plan).
2. Vehicles for display shall be parked in striped parking spaces.
3. Vehicles shall not be elevated anywhere on site.
4. Final site pian approval is subject to ARB approval of the lighting plan (submitted with the site
plan). Maximum height of pole lights (including bases and fixtures), shall not exceed 20'.
Maximum light levels shall not exceed 30 footcandles in the display lot and 20 footcandles in all
other locations. Nonconforming pole lights shall be removed or fixtures shall be replaced with full
cutoff fixtures to match other proposed fixtures.
5. Final site plan approval is subject to ARB approval of the landscape plan (submitted with the site
plan). Landscaping shown on the plan may be required to be in excess of the minimum
requirements of the ARB guidelines and/or the Zoning Ordinance to mitigate visual impacts of the
proposed use, and shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Planting area along the Entrance Corridor frontage shall be increased, if necessary, to
accommodate planting outside of easements.
b. Large shade trees shall be evenly distributed at the interior of the display lot at a rate of 1
tree for every 10 spaces.
C. Ground cover shall be provided continuous throughout the north, east and south sides of
the front display area. Extend the island on the south side of the display area to add an
additional tree and shrubs.
d. Shrubs provided at the perimeter of the display area shall be a minimum of 30"-36" high
at planting.
e. Large shade trees spaced 40' on center shall be provided in new planting beds or islands
along the south perimeters of the middle vehicle storage area.
