I respectfully request your confirmation, in a letter addressed to my attention, of the
following matters in particular in relation to the Existing Improvements. All provisions referred
to below are sections of the Albemarle County Code, Chapter 18 — Zoning.
Permitted Use
My review of the County records shows that the Property was rezoned by ZMA200000010,
which rezoned 27.46 acres from R-10 Residential to R-15 to allow mixed use of dwelling units,
retail, and office. The rezoning is subject to Proffers, dated June 19, 2001. (An additional 1/10
acre was rezoned pursuant to ZMA200600021 in 2007.) The Property remains zoned Residential
R-15, as defined and described by Section 18. Per Section 18.2'2.11, uses permitted by special
use permit include professional offices.
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved SP200000069 and SP200000070 on June
20, 2001. The special use permits allow professional offices and retail stores and shops in a
residential development in accordance with Section 18.2.2.11 and 18.2.2.12, respectively.
(SP2006-00044 permits parking and landscaping on the additional 1/10 acre.)
The approval letter, dated July 16, 2001, states that approval of SP200000069 is subject to the
condition that the professional office uses shall be limited, in combination with the retail stores
and shop uses allowed pursuant to SP200000070, to 20,000 square feet. The approval of
SP200000070 is conditioned on a limitation of the types of retail stores and shops permitted by a
listing comprising the definition of "retail stores and shops."
The Property is accessed via Fontana Drive from S. R. 20/Stony Point Road, which is a
designated Entrance Corridor. At its closest boundary line, the Parcel is approximately 450 feet
from the Entrance Corridor.
Site Plan
On August 7, 2006, the Department of Community Development granted administrative
approval for SDP-2006-00024, preliminary site plan for Phase III of Avemore. The final site
development plan SDP 200700074 was approved June 9, 2008. Minor site plan amendment SDP
200800184 was approved on January 14, 2009, and Minor Site Plan Amendment #2 SDP
200900052 was approved on July 28, 2009.
Subdivision Plat
A subdivision plat dividing Lots 1 and 2, containing Building 1 and Building 2, respectively, was
approved on June 17, 2008 as SUB200800140. The subject parcel is Lot 1.
