The Property is subject to the Airport Impact Area Overlay ("AIA"), the Flood Hazard Overlay ("FH"), the Entrance Corridor ("EC") Overlay District, and the Steep Slopes Overlay as described in Section 30 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code ("Zoning Ordinance"). The use described in your letter dated 3/24/2016 (attached) is considered a primary by right use in the LI zoning, identified as Storage/Warehousing/Distribution/Transportation. The LI zoning district also allows by right, subordinate retail sales for any use permitted by right, provided the use does not exceed 25% of the gross floor area of the primary industrial use. See Section 3 of the Zoning Ordinance for a definition of Storage/Warehousing/Distribution/Transportation and Section 26 for the list of by right, special use or prohibited uses in the Industrial zoned districts. With the Property being in the EC, outdoor storage is also permitted but may require a special use permit if determined that any portion would be visible from the EC street to which it is contiguous or from any other EC street which is located within five hundred (500) feet. You can contact Margaret Maiiszewski, ARB Design Planner, for discussions on visibility of the outdoor storage from the EC street. Development of the Property requires review and approval by the County of an initial site plan and then a final site plan before any building permits or zoning clearances may be applied for. If outdoor storage is determined to be visible from the Entrance Corridor then a special use permit will also be required. Compliance with supplemental regulations for outdoor activities and storage in industrial districts is required as well, see Sections 5.1.51 and 5.1.52 of the Zoning Ordinance for the specific requirements. The Property does have an approved Variance (VA2009-00004) for the setback from the road right-of-way to be reduced from 50' to 10'. This action was made in conjunction with a proposed subdivision to establish a new road and 10 lots. The subdivision that included the road never went forward for final approval. The setbacks for industrial properties have since changed, via a Zoning Text Amendment, to allow buildings to be 10' from the road right-of-way which make the need for the variance no longer required. May 17, 2016 LZC-201600021 Page 2 • This office has record of an open violation for this Property. The violation is for operation of a business without an approved zoning clearance. The Zoning Ordinance can be obtained online at www.albemarle.org/countycode. See reference above for Chapter and Sections. • Copies of any applicable records may be obtained from this office with a request through the department's Records Manager, Paul Bjornsen, at pbjornsen(a7albemarle.orQ once they have been approved or issued. Please contact me if you have questions or require additional information. Sinrnr:M Francis H.
