Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Tim Padalino, tpadalinogalbemarle.org — Requested Changes:
1. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(a)]: The "Site Data" Table on Sheet C-102 ("General Notes and Details") indicates the
"Site Area" is 1.40 acres (existing) and 1.55 acres (proposed). Proposed improvements (such as travelways, a
dumpster pad, and underground storm sewer and sanitary sewer infrastructure) are shown in areas that are
currently located on the adjoining property to the north (TMP 032AO-02-00-OOIAO) owned by Martha Jefferson
Hospital (per Albemarle County GIS-Web).
Please provide additional explanation, documentation, or other information about the difference between the
existing and proposed site areas. For example, please indicate if there is an intent to submit a boundary line
adjustment plat for approval and recordation, or if there is any easement or other arrangement with the adjoining
property owner, with regards to the proposed use and improvement of these areas that are currently not located
on the subject property.

information / documentation is required.
2. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(b)]: Please add the following information to the "Site Data" Table on Sheet C-102
("General Notes and Details"):
A. area of proposed improvements (6,001 SF building area as % of site; and total parking/circulation
area in acreage and as % of site)
B. total area of impervious surface cover (in acreage and as % of site)
• Note: Staff acknowledge this information is provided in the "Stormwater Management
Narrative " on Sheet C-500, but please add this info to the Site Data schedule as required by
Code.
C. area of paved parking and vehicular circulation (in acreage and as % of site)

Plan'), butplease add this info to the Site Data schedule as required by Code.
3. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(d)]: Sheet C-400 ("Grading Plan") shows proposed grading and construction activities in
areas that are on the adjoining property to the north (TMP 032AO-02-00-001AO) owned by Martha Jefferson
Hospital (per Albemarle County GIS-Web).
Please provide additional explanation, documentation, or other information about these proposed off -site
improvements and construction activities. For example, please indicate if there is an intent to submit a boundary
line adjustment plat for approval and recordation, or if there is any easement or other arrangement with the
adjoining property owner, with regards to the proposed use and improvement of these areas that are currently
not located on the subject property.
• Note: Staff acknowledge the information contained in the "Water Quality Narrative" on Sheet C-500
("SWM& BMP Computations') which states that "There is an existing offsite bioretention pond ... on
land that will be acquired prior to final approval of this site plan " (emphasis added). However, more
information / documentation is required.
4. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(m)]: Please show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection
from the proposed ingress and egress.
• Note: Please reference VDOT's review comment #I, which also addresses this issue.
5. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(n)]: Please show the proposed location(s) of outdoor trash containers.
6. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(n)]: The plans show two (2) proposed "monument signs." Please provide additional
details about those two proposed signs. Additionally, please indicate if the proposed canopy or proposed retail
building will contain any additional signage — and if so, please provide additional details about that proposed
signage.
7. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(n)]: The plans show three (3) different types of proposed paving materials, but do not
contain any labels, notes, other annotation, or details to explain the different types of proposed pavement
materials. Please provide additional details about the three different types of pavement shown.
8. [Z.O. Sections 32.5.2(q) and 32.7.91: Please revise the "Zoning Ordinance Requirements" table on Sheet C-
600 ("Landscape Plan") to address and resolve the following issues:
A. The first row reads "Section 34-869 Tree Cover Requirements" but the correct reference appears to be
"Section 32.7.9.8(a)-1 Tree Canopy." Please revise, and please revise/update the associated
Requirements and Calculations, as may be necessary.
B. The second row reads "Section 34-870 Streetscape Trees" but the correct reference appears to be
"Section 32.7.9.5 Landscaping Along Streets." Please revise, and please revise/update the associated
Requirements and Calculations, as may be necessary.
C. The third row reads "Section 34-873 Parking Lots — Screening and Interior Landscaping" but the
correct reference appears to be "Section 32.7.9.6 Landscaping Within a Parking Area." Please revise,
and please revise/update the associated Requirements and Calculations, as may be necessary.
D. The fourth row reads "Section 34-87(b)(2) Parking Lots — Screening and Interior Landscaping" but
the correct reference appears to be "Section 32.7.9.7 Screening." Please revise, and please
revise/update the associated Requirements and Calculations, as may be necessary.
E. The fifth row reads "Section 34-87(c)(2) Parking Lots — Screening and Interior Landscaping" but the
correct reference appears to be "Section 32.7.9.7 Screening." Please revise, and please revise/update
the associated Requirements and Calculations, as may be necessary.
9. [Z.O. Sections 32.5.2(q) and 32.7.9.6]: The "Zoning Ordinance Requirements" table on Sheet C-600
("Landscape Plan") references a Waiver request from the required Landscaping Within a Parking Area "due to
operational requirements of the user." To date, no such Waiver request has been received. Please comply with
the applicable Code section(s) or submit a Waiver request.
10. [Z.O. Section 32.5.2(q)]: Please provide the specified traffic generation figures (trip generation estimates).
11. UPDATE: [Z.O. Sections 32.7.3(a), 21.3, 4.12.4(a), and 4.12.6]: The applicable minimum off-street parking
requirements for the proposed use have been generated in consultation with CDD staff in the Zoning Division
and Planning Division using the following definition in Chapter 4 ("General Regulations"), Section 12
("Parking, Stacking, and Loading"), Subsection 6 ("Minimum Number of Required Parking Spaces for
Scheduled Uses"):
Food store: One (1) space per two hundred (200) square feet of gross floor area.
Per the information contained on the initial site plan, this calculates to a minimum requirement of [(1 x 6,000
GSF)/200] = (6,000/200) = 30 parking spaces. The number of proposed spaces is 54, which meets this
minimum requirement.
However, the proposed project is also subject to maximum off-street parking limitations per 18-4.12.4(a)
("Parking Areas — Maximum Number of Parking Spaces"), which is as follows:
Maximum number of spaces. The number of parking spaces in a parking area may not exceed the number
of spaces required by this section by more than twenty (20) percent.
This calculates to a maximum limitation of (1.2 x 30 spaces) = 36 parking spaces. The number of proposed
spaces is 54, which does not comply with Z.O.4.12.4(a). Therefore, you may address this issue by: a.) reducing
the number of proposed parking spaces; or b.) providing more detailed information about the proposed use(s) of
the primary structure, if the structure is to include multiple different "Scheduled Uses" (as identified in Z.O.
4.12.6), for the purposes of (potentially) re -calculating the parking (min.) requirements and (max.) limitations in
a way that (potentially) allows for more parking spaces; or c.) requesting a "modification or waiver" pursuant to
Z.O. 4.12.2(c), which is an administrative review process. For reference, Z.O. 4.12.2(c) states (in part):
"Modification or waiver. The limitation on the maximum number of parking spaces required by subsection
4.12.4(a)... may be modified or waived... in an individual case if the zoning administrator finds that the
public health, safety or welfare would be equally or better served by the modification or waiver and that
the modification or waiver would not otherwise be contrary to the purpose and intent of this chapter."

Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by BohIer Engineering, dated 19
December 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide the dimensions from the proposed entrances to existing commercial entrances or
intersections. The proposed entrance on Route 29 does not appear to meet Access
Management spacing requirements as the required spacing from a partial access entrance
to an intersection on a 45 mph principal arterial is 305 feet; therefore, an approved
Access Management Exception would be required.
2. The proposed right -turn lane and taper do not meet the minimum required dimensions.
3. Provide both left- and right -turn lane warrant analyses for the entrance on Proffitt Road.
4. Note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or
other requirements.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Dee] at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
