The following comments were generated from permit review. Any questions or concerns regarding the following should be directed to the reviewer at the phone number provided above. Further comments may be generated when the appropriate information has been submitted.

1. This permit is to convert an old abandoned gas station (built in 1945 and was a certified nonconforming use per 162-76-U) to a food and beverage store. The property is zoned C-S-C and located within the Neighborhood Commercial Character Area of the Gateway Arts DDOZ. Per a conversation between the applicant and Mary Hampton on prior case #21399-2009-UO that is on hold, the applicant will be doing interior renovations as well as removing the garage doors. The site plan that was submitted is inadequate for review. Need to submit one copy of a revised site plan in conformance with Section 27-254, Applications of the Prince George’s County Zoning Ordinance. 10-14-09 Comment Still Outstanding. Need a signed and sealed site plan by a licensed engineer in conformance with Section 27-254. BEL. 11-05-09 Comment Partially Satisfied. Need to revise the site plan to demonstrate a parking and loading schedule per Part 11 of the Prince George’s County Zoning Ordinance to include all uses of the site, the parking ratios, how many parking spaces are required and provided, the widths of the entrances and drive aisles on the plan, drive arrows, dimension all parking space sizes including the handicap spaces on the plan which must be at least 16’x19’ for van accessibility, the total GFA of the building, bearings and distances, if there is more than one use then need to delineate the location of each use and square footage, the Right-of-Ways for all adjacent streets, the zone and use for Lot 10, etc., this is all the requirements per Section 27-254. BEL. 11-24-09 Comment Partially Satisfied. Need to add the existing and proposed use of the site to the plan for clarification of the parking schedule, per the latest site plan submitted it appears the site will be used as an Auto Repair Shop which is not permitted instead of a Food and Beverage Store which is what your application is for, need to revise the site plan to remove the notes under Lot 11 and Lot 12 for commercial auto repair shop and show food and beverage store, need to update the parking calculation for the parking ratio of 1 space for every 150 sq. ft. which will then require 9 spaces which then a Departure From Parking and Loading will be required for the 3 parking spaces that you do not have on site or you can apply for a “CG” permit to add parking to your site at the Permit Office, also need the width of the drive aisles from both 29th Street and Eastern Avenue, these must be delineated at a minimum of 18’ for two-way traffic or 9’ for one-way traffic. Also since the use of this site is Food and Beverage Store and the adjacent site on Lot 10 is a residential single family house a buffer may be required per Section 4.7 of the Landscape Manual which it appears you will not be able to meet. You will need to contact Lisa Chapman at 301-952-5541 for information on the Alternative Compliance process for the landscaping. BEL. 12-02-09 Comments updated per meeting with Debbie Gallagher. Need to update the two parking spaces next to the 16’x19’ handicap space to demonstrate 10’x20’, need to demonstrate the three other parking spaces at 9’x22’ ¼”, need to demonstrate the drive aisles at least at 9’ for one-way traffic only, need to demonstrate the drive arrows as one-way only from either street to the other there is not enough drive aisle for two-way traffic, need to update the parking schedule to show the parking space types for one space 16’x19’, two spaces at 10’x20’ and three spaces at 9’x22’ ¼” and the parking ratio at 1 spaces for every 150 sq. ft. which will require 9 spaces but 4 are grandfathered in from the prior gas station/auto repair since the site was built in 1945 per Section 27-584 and therefore only 5 are required and 6 provided and this needs to be demonstrated in the parking schedule as well, and need to also demonstrate the scale used for this site. BEL. 12-10-09 Comment Satisfied. Site plan updated for all of the above. BEL

2. Per Dineene O’Connor in our Community Planning Division the site will be subject to the design guidelines of the DDOZ because the construction will be “renovation beyond routine maintenance and repair”. Therefore any permit for interior/exterior alterations must be reviewed by Park and Planning CPD. If you have any further questions on the guidelines of the DDOZ you may contact Dineene O’Connor at 301-952-3573. 10-14-09 If the applicant is replacing the former garage doors with glass store front doors, etc., this constitutes a change to the façade. An elevation sketch of this façade change that specifies the materials should be reviewed. Need to submit a copy of the elevation plans with all changes to Dineene O’Connor for review. BEL. 10-23-09 Comment Satisfied. Per email from Dineene O’Connor the proposed exterior renovations conform to the standards. BEL

3. Per comments from Dineene O’Connor it appears you are doing some façade changes and changing the garage doors to glass front. You will need to revise this permit to an 01 revision to a “CEU” for commercial exterior/interior work and the use so that you may do all of your proposed work inside and outside and obtain your use. You will need to go to the Permit Office in Largo to do so. You may contact the Permit Office for further questions on this process at 301-883-5776. 11-05-09 Comment Still Outstanding. Need to revise this permit to an 01 revision for a “CEU” for the exterior work at the Permit Office and submit a copy of the application to me for further review. BEL. 11-24-09 Comment Still Outstanding. BEL. 12-02-09-Comment Still Outstanding. Need to go to the Permit Office and revise this permit to add the “Exterior Work” and submit a copy of the application to me. BEL. 12-10-09 Comment Satisfied. Permit #34827-2009-CE applied for. BEL

10/20/09 – The applicant was sent to the office by Dineene O’Connor. She sent updated comments to comment #2 (attached). I discuss comment #1 with the applicant. He indicated that he has a site plan but the additional plans he had were interior/ architectural only with the same prior gas station site plan with parking drawn on it. I gave the applicant a copy of the permit comments and Sec. 27-254 to bring to his engineer to get an adequate site plan. MTH
