Fax 434-972-4126
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.]
Initial Site Plan Comments (from conditional approval letter dated 12/28/16):
1. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. See comments below.
A site plan meeting all the requirements of ZMA 2016-19, its Application Plan and its Code of Development
(C.O.D). Also, because Block 1 is the last portion of Riverside Village to be developed ensure that any
remaining requirements and/or amenities specified for the other blocks within the development, as specified
in ZMA2015-3, its application, C.O.D. and/or its proffers must be provided with this site plan.
FINAL: Comment not addressed. It does not appear that any changes have been made in order to
address this comment. Either revise the site plan to address this comment or provide information to
the plan reviewer where on the site plan this information was already provided. As the last block to
be developed in an Neighborhood Model District in order to evaluate this site plan all of the
requirements and/or amenities specified in ZMA2015-3, its application, C.O.D. and/or its proffers
tallies must be shown to have already been provided with previous site plans or shown to be
provided with this site plan. Until this information is provided the site plan cannot be evaluated for
conformance with the ZMA. Therefore, charts must be provide, and expanded from what was
provided with the ZMA approval, to show what has been already built and/or platted for the other
blocks and what is being proposed with this block. Revise the final site plan to provide the required
information. Address the following:
• Add columns to the "Minimum Green Space, Civic Areas, and Amenities by Block" chart for
what has already been Built/Platted/Provided and for those Proposed with this site plan.
• Ensure that all "Minimum Green Space, Civic Areas, and Amenities by Block" specified with
the ZMA have been, or with this site plan will be, provided.
• Revise the "Proposed Block Summary" chart to be the "Developed Square Footage
Proposed" chart as shown in the C.O.D. on Sheet No. 5 of 7 including all of the information
shown there, and for ALL blocks of the development. Also, expand it as specified below.
• Add columns to the "Developed Square Footage Proposed" chart for what has already been
Built/Platted/Provided as well as what is being Proposed with this site plan including number
of dwelling units, dwelling units per acre, and square feet of commercial.
• Ensure that all totals built/platted/provided or proposed in the "Developed Square Footage
Proposed" chart fall within the minimum and maximum values specified for there individual
blocks and for the NMD in general.

Add a "Land Use Summary" chart to the site plan. Include all of the information specified in
the Application plan on Sheet No. 4 of 7 and add columns for those that are already
built/platted with the previous blocks and what is proposed with this site plan for both
acreage and percentage of the total site. Ensure that totals are provided at the bottom of the
chart, and added to the right side of the chart.
Revise the site plan to include an "Affordable Units by Type and Block" chart that includes a
provided column and show that the minimum of 15% affordable dwelling units has been met
(C.O.D. section Vill.
Revise the site plan to include a "Landscape Treatment' chart that specifies each required
treatment and includes a column that specifies in which site plan or subdivision plat the
treatment was provided (C.O.D. section IX.) or if it has not vet been provided.
[ZMA2016-19 Proffer #11 Provide as many affordable units within Block 1 as are necessary to meet the
remaining affordable housing requirement for all of Riverside Village. It appears that only 10 affordable
residential units have been provided in previously approved plans. The proffer specifies 15% affordable
units. If there will be a total of 93 residential units in all of Riverside Village then a total of 14 affordable
units are required and therefore 4 more affordable units must be provided in Block 1.
FINAL: Comment not addressed. It does not appear that any information on the affordable units
that are proposed has been added to the site plan. Revise the site plan to provide this required
information. See zoning comment for more details.
4. IZMA2016-19 Proffer #2] The status of the cash proffer specified in #2 will be reviewed as construction
continues.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The status of the cash proffer specified in #2 will be reviewed
as construction continues.
5. [ZMA2016-19 Proffers] Provide the correct, final and signed version of the proffers. There was a
modification made to the final version of the proffers that must be included. See the attached PDF.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The final, signed, and approved version of the proffers must
be scanned and inserted into the plan set. Although the content of the proffers currently provided in
the plan may be correct the signed and approved version is what needs to be in the site plan.
6. [ZMA2016-19] Because this is the final site plan that is required for the development ensure that all
requirements and amenities specified in the C.O.D. are provided within Riverside Village. In the Final Site
Plan provide the following:
• The "Minimum Green Space, Civic Area, and Amenities by Block" chart for the C.O.D. must be updated
to be a "Required and Provided" chart showing that all required items for all of Riverside Village have
been provided or will be with the approval of the site plan (C.O.D. section VII.).
• The "Proposed Block Summary" must be expanded to show all blocks, show totals for the development,
and show that the development as a whole has stayed within the Minimums and Maximums for the
Residential / Commercial uses (C.O.D. sections I.D. and V.).
• Provide an "Affordable Units by Type and Block" chart that includes a provided column and show that
the minimum of 15% affordable dwelling units has been met (C.O.D. section VI.).
• Provide a "Landscape Treatment' chart that specifies each required treatment and includes a column
that specifies in which site plan or subdivision plan the treatment was provided (C.O.D. section IX.).
FINAL: Comment not addressed. See comments #2 & #3 above.
7. [32.7.2.3(a)] Provide in the site plan an additional segment of sidewalk parallel to Route 20 between the east
entrance to the site and the east boundary line of the parcel along Route 20 (Stony Point Road).
FINAL: Comment not addressed. No additional sidewalk has been added to the site plan. This
pedestrian connection is required. If there are topographical challenges provide supporting
documentation about the sites restraints, as well as possible solutions, and discuss them with the
plan reviewer prior to the next submission. At the bare minimum a crosswalk and handicapped
ramp must be provided so that a future connection will be feasible. In addition, whatever portion of
the sidewalk the reviewers considers appropriate and realistic, prior to development to the east of
the parcel, must also be provided.

8. [32.5.1(c) & 32.5.2(a)] Address the following:
• Revise the dimensions for the existing boundaries to include bearings for each portion of the boundary
and include all required curve data where appropriate.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Only one bearing and distance was added to the parcel
information and it was for the parent parcel and not Block one. Revise the site plan to include all
of the bearing and distance information for Block 1 specifically. All line and curb data is to be
provided.
Provide the Tax Map number for the subject parcel in the Existing Conditions sheet.
FINAL: Comment addressed.
• Show the setback lines in the site plan.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
o Use two different linetypes for the Build -to lines and the parking setback lines.
o The parking setback from route 20 is incorrect. It appears to be shown at 33' instead of
50'. Revise this line.
o No parking setback line is shown from Road A. Add the parking setback line for Road A
to the site plan.
o The side setback line adjacent to TMP 78-58A (Elks parcel) appears to be incorrect. It
scales at about 6' instead of 5'. Revise this setback line.
o Add a label and leader for the side setback line adjacent to TMP 78-58A. Since the
building and parking setbacks are identical along this propertv line include the Parking
setback information in this same label.
o No rear setback line appears to be provide on the site plan. Add the line and a label and
leader to specify its location.
o Revise the site plan to provide both types of setback lines (parking & building) along the
boundary with TMP 78G-2G-28.
• Provide all of the required "Abutting Parcel Information" including the names of owners, zoning district,
tax map and parcel numbers and present uses.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Only TMP 78-58A's parcel information has been
provided. Address the following:
o Revise the plan to include the abutting parcel information internal to the NMD.
o Revise the plan to include the abutting parcel information for TMP 78-8A.
• The "Sheet Index" on the cover sheet includes a sheet that is not part of the initial site plan. A "lighting
plan & details" sheet was not included. Also, the "site and utility details" sheet should be labeled as C7
and not C8 in the "Sheet Index".
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
o Change the sheet title for C3 to be "Existing Conditions and Demo Plan" so that it
matches the information shown on the cover sheet.
o Although C3 is specified to be "Existing Conditions and Demo Plan" the demolition
information is not included or not obvious. Also, the landscaping in the private
landscaping easement on Road A appears to not be shown in the landscape plan and vet
is not noted as being removed on this sheet.
• Revise the boundary information to include the required datum reference for the elevation.
'7INAL: Comment addressed.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Address the following:
Provide the gross residential density for Block 1.
FINAL: Comment addressed.
Revise the square footage of commercial uses so that they are consistent within the "Proposed

calculations.
FINAL: Comment addressed.
Page 3 of 11
Revise the maximum amount of impervious on the site to include the patios or specify the patios as
materials that are pervious.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Where the patios are included in the calculation is
not specified. The "new pavement" seems to have been reduced by about 5,000 and the
"new sidewalk" increased but about 3,000. Overall the total impervious area appears to have
decreased despite the response to the comment being that "The amount of impervious area
has been revised to include the patios". Revise the calculations to show specifically which
area of the calcs include the patios and either revise the totals or provide the plan reviewer
with information to explain why the impervious was reduced when large areas were added.
Revise the "new pavement" square footage on the coversheet to match the "paved parking and
vehicular circulation area" or clarify why these numbers should not be the same. The existing
paved area connecting the two existing roads/alleys should be included since it is part of Block 1.
This should be included in the calculations.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The "new pavement" on the coversheet and "paved
parking and vehicular circulation area" on the landscape plan still to not match. Revise the
plan in order to correctly represent this information in both locations.
10. [32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(e), 32.5.2(p), 32.6.20) & 32.7.9.4(c)] Provide a full landscape plan that provides all
required landscaping, calculations and meets the buffer & landscaping requirements for 32.7.9 and the ZMA
Code of Development. Address the following:
• The existing paved area connecting the two existing roads/alleys should be included in the
"parking and vehicle circulation area" since it is part of Block 1. Included it in the calculation or
clarify why is should not be included.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The "new pavement" on the coversheet and "paved
parking and vehicular circulation area" on the landscape plan do not match. Revise the
plan in order to correctly represent this information.
• Revise the provided landscape canopy so that it is the same or greater than the required tree
canopy.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
o The total area of the site on the coversheet and the landscaping sheet do not match.
Revise accordingly and update calculation.
o The street trees along Route 20 were planted, approved, and included in the calculations
for SDP2014-43. Those plantings cannot be changed without amending that site plan.
o Since the street trees were part of a previously approved site plan can cannot be utilized in
the canopy calculation also for this site plan.
Since this is a mixed -use site, and not purely commercial, utilize the canopy calculation for
residential uses.
FINAL: Comment addressed.
There is a note just above the "Landscaping Required:" calculations that states "Approved
Landscape Plan 1" = 30"'. However, this landscape plan in not yet approved and the scale bar in
the lower right corner of the page shows a scale of 1" = 20'. Revise this note or clarify why all of
part of it is correct.
FINAL: Comment addressed.
Revise the landscape plan so that, as III. D. states, the plazas are a balanced mixture of
hardscaping and landscaping and as stated in ll. they have planting beds, benches and paving to
create harmonious areas for people to congregate.
FWAL: Comment addressed.
There are benches specified in the C.O.D. for the patios in Block 1 that are not shown in this site
plan. Provide the required benches.
o III. D specifies a minimum of two benches per plaza.
o VII. specifies at least four benches in one of the plazas.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The two central plazas do not have any labels
specifying where benches may be located, although there is some linework that may
represent built in benches. Add labels and leaders and ensure that the two central plazas
also meet the bench requirement.
Page 4 of 11
• Revise the landscape plan to include the flowering ornamentals specified for the plazas in section
IX of the C.O.D. They should be evenly spaced around the plaza.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. There appear to be only "ornamental deciduous
trees" in the two central plazas. Revise the landscaping in the plazas so that all four of the
plaza's meet this requirement.
• Revise the landscape plan to include the 24" tall (at planting) shrubs specified for the plazas in
section IX of the C.O.D. They are to be interspersed between the trees and used to screen the
parking.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Add a label and leader for the three "FM" shrubs on
the far east front of the building.
As stated in II. the plaza furthest to the east will be a focal point aligned with Road "C" providing a
visual and pedestrian connection between Stony Point Road and the Rivanna River. Therefore the
pedestrian connection should be extended through the plaza and connect directly to the sidewalk
along route 20.

door opening (see "Other" portion of C.O.D. section).
• Revise the landscape plan to include the Ornamental trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses
specified in section IX of the C.O.D. at the "Entrance — Block 1".
FINAL: Comment not addressed. Address the following:
o These plantings were shown in a previously approved site plan. In order to remove
them, or replace them with anything different, the site plan in which they were
shown and approved must be amended. Until that site plan is amended this site
plan that shows them being removed cannot be approved.
o Landscaping cannot be utilized two meet the canopy calculation in two different site
plans.

Also, show how these plantings will be preserved.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. These plantings were shown in a previously
approved site plan. In order to remove them, or replace them with anything different, the
site plan in which they were shown and approved must be amended. Until that site plan is
amended this site plan that shows them being removed cannot be approved.
• There appear to be notes about "existing" landscaping that does not yet exist. Revise the notes so
that they correctly specify in which previously approved site plan the plantings were included and
in what time frame they will be provided.
FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. The plantings on the east side of the lot, adjacent to
TMP 78-58A, have a note that specifies that they were required with SUP2015-00038. They
were actually required with SDP2014-43. Address the following:

FINAL: Comment not addressed. Address the following:
• All existing landscaping along Route 20 and Road A cannot be removed or replaced with
something different without amending SDP2014-43 which is the site plan in which they were
established. They are a requirement of that previous site plan and the site would be in
violation if they were removed or replaced with different plantings. They could be
temporarily removed during construction and replaced, or replaced with the exact same
plantings in the same location, if they are damaged but they cannot be permanently removed
or replaced without amending SDP2014-43.
• Since the existing landscaping is part of SDP2014-43 it cannot be used to meet requirements
of this proposed site plan.

residential units in Block 2 and the biofilter, or clarify with plan reviewer why it should stay.
29. fCommentl Revise the width of the parking lot access ways to have sufficient width in all areas for
two way traffic. There is at least on location where the drive aisle appears to be reduced down to
only 20' wide. This is not sufficient for parking aisle where the spaces are 9' wide.
30. fCommentl Revise the corners of the west most parking planting island to have sufficient radii.

Reviewer: Shawn Maddox FJ Fire Rescue H Requested Changes
1 _ No fire department connections shown on the plans_ It appears each building will be sprinklered so FDD must be shown and
located within 100' of afire hydrant_ The one hydrant provided in the open space is not easily accessible and WOLIld require
lengthy hose lays just to get around all of the parking
spaces-
_ Add a note that a knox box will be required and location to be coordinated with the fire marshal s office-
3- Afire flow test will be required prior to final acceptance_ Based on building square footage and an estimation of constrriction
type the fire flow requirement is 1,500 gpm_
4_ Hydrant spacing - based on the estimated fire flow fire hydrants should be located on an approximate 500' spacing, with no
more than 250' feet of distance on any road to a hydrant_ A hydrant should be provided closer to the travel way serving the
building which will assist with the FDD to hydrant distance requirement_
