SP 2017-20 RESTORE'N STATION
WHEREAS, the Owner of Tax Map Parcel 055BO-00-00-00100 filed an application to amend
Conditions 5 and 6 of a previously approved special use permit (SP 2009-34) to increase the permitted hours
of operation for the store from 16 hours per day to 20 hours per day, to increase the permitted hours of
operation for fuel sales from 16 hours per day to 24 hours per day, and to increase the number of pump
stations from seven to nine, and the application is identified as Special Use Permit 2017-00020 Restore'n
Station ("SP 2017-20"); and
WHEREAS, on December 5, 2017, after a duly noticed public hearing, the Albemarle County
Planning Commission recommended denial of SP 2017-20; and
WHEREAS, on duly 5, 2018, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors held a duly noticed public
hearing on SP 2017-20.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, upon consideration of the foregoing, the written
summary of the Planning Commission action, the staff report prepared for SP 2017-20 and all of its
attachments, the information presented by County staff, the applicant, and members of the public at both the
Board's and the Planning Commission's public hearings, the written comments received by members of the
Board and the Planning Commission, and the factors relevant to this request to amend special use permit
conditions in Albemarle County Code §§ 1.4(L) and 18-33.8, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
hereby approves SP 2017-20 and amends Condition 6 as stated in the conditions attached hereto; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that amended Condition 6 allows the fuel pumps to use modern
fuel pump technologies without intensifying the use approved in conjunction with SP 2009-34; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, upon the same stated considerations, Condition 5 is not
amended as requested by the applicant to extend the hours of operation of the convenience store from 16
hours per day to any hours except between 12:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. each day, and to allow fuel pumps to be
operational 24 hours per day, for the following reasons:
1. Condition 5, which was imposed in conjunction with SP 2009-34, is reasonable, was not
challenged following approval of SP 2009-34, and therefore, should be retained without amendment;
2. SP 2009-34 allows a reasonable use of the Property and a reasonable use exists on the
Property; and
3. The amendment to Condition 5 requested by the applicant would allow an intensification of
the use approved in conjunction with SP 2009-34.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, as a separate, independent, and alternative reason for not
amending Condition 5 as requested by the applicant, the requested amendment would allow an intensification
of the use approved in conjunction with SP 2009-34, and that intensification would be inconsistent with the
County's Comprehensive Plan and the Crozet Master Plan because:
1. The Property is designated Rural Area in the Comprehensive Plan and is not within the
development area of the Crozet Master Plan; and
2. The Crozet Master Plan states that the County's policies are to have commercial and
industrial development occur only within the designated development areas and that additional commercial
or industrial development of the fringe areas beyond the Crozet development area is not recommended; and
3. Although the use on the Property already exists, the amendment to Condition 5 requested by
the applicant would allow an intensification of the use approved in conjunction with SP 2009-34 and that
intensification would be inconsistent with the Crozet Master Plan.
I, Claudette K. Borgersen, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of a
Resolution duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, by a vote of five to zero,
as recorded below, at a meeting held on July 11, 2018.
