APPLICANT: Marriott Corp.
TAX MAP/PARCEL: 61Z/03-1 (part of)
ACREAGE : 5 . 73 acres
ZONING: PUD (Planned Unit Development)
LOCATION: Part of Branchlands
PUD development
VARIANCE REQUEST
The applicant requests relief from Section 4 . 12 . 6 . 6 . 2 of
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow a total of 172
spaces to provide parking for the Marriott Hotel , restaurant ,
and assembly area , a variance of 15 parking spaces from the
required 187 .
AREA CHARACTERISTICS
The Marriott property to be developed is located within the
Branchlands (PUD) development .
Albemarle Bank & Trust Co . is adjacent to the proposed development
on the western side . Adjoining the Marriott property to the northern
side is a parking area for Fashion Mall owned by J. C . Penny. Prop-
erty to the east of the proposed site is undeveloped with commercial
designation under the PUD plan .
A copy of the proposed site plan for development has been submitted
by the applicant with the variance request .
ZONNING HISTORY
Branchlands PUD development was approved by the Board of Super-
visors in September 10, 1975 .
The Board of Supervisors approved Special Permit, SP-85-75 , on
December 4 , 1985 , to locate a motel/hotel or inn on 4 . 1301 acres .
STAFF COMMENTS
The following parking requirements are applicable to the proposed
motel/hotel , restaurant , and conference rooms .
Section 4 . 12 . 6 . 6 . 2 requires one (1) space per unit, and require
additional spaces for assembly room, restaurant , etc . as provided
by the ordinance . An eating establishment must provide thirteen
(13) spaces per 1 , 000 square feet of gross floor area , and uses
of public assembly shall provide one space per four (4) fixed
seats or per seventy-five (75) square feet of assembly area
whichever shall be greater .
STAFF REPORT - VA-8b 06 ,..p
Page 2
Off street parking provisions are usually based on expected
requirements of the use , calculated to promote public safety,
by keeping the traffic clear , and to provide transportation
capable of serving existing uses .
The proposed site plan does show area adequate to accommodate
the total required number of parking spaces .
Findings by the staff are that the parking requirements for the
applicant are neither confiscatory nor discriminatory. Most
off street parking is commonly conditioned on their reasonableness .
All basic requirements for parking for similar/like developments
have shown no need for reducing or lessening the provisions .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff must recommend denial of the request .

Dear Mr. Evens:
The Marriott Corporation is requesting a variance from the County's
minimum parking requirement based upon their own experience with Courtyard
facilities. The attached Traffic Generation Study is offered as support
and justification for this request. The report shows that Courtyard faci-
lities generate 60% as much traffic as typical hotels or motels reported by
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Report, commonly
used in the industry for traffic predictions.
As noted on the site plan, 187 parking spaces are required by County
Ordinances and 172 spaces are provided. If additional information is needed
to support Marriott's request, please let me know.
Sincerely,
a),‘,
ohn W. Greene, P.E.

TRAFFIC GENERATION STUDY
FOR
COURTYARD
BY
MARRIOTT
Prepared for:
MARRIOTT CORPORATION
Prepared by:
THE RBA GROUP
OCTOBtR 1985
--THE RBA GROUP
Marriott Corporation recently introduced Courtyard as a new concept in
lodging for the business traveler, providing comfortable luxury accom-
modations in a residential styled environment. A Courtyard facility typi-
cally consists of 126 to 150 lodging units built around a heavily
landscaped open courtyard. Limited service accessory facilities including
a fifty-seat restaurant, a living room styled lounge, and an executive
board room are provided to accommodate the need of guests only. The food
and beverage services are not designed to attract outside business.
The traffic generated by a Courtyard facility is noticeably less than that
of a typical hotel. The reduced number of trips is attributed to the
absence of high trip generators such as full service restaurants and
banquet and convention facilities. In an effort to determine trip genera-
tion of a Courtyard facility, RBA conducted traffic counts at three
existing Courtyards during the summer of 1984. Additional information was
collected in March and October 1985 in an effort to refine the generation
rates.
PROCEDURE
Manual peak hour traffic counts were conducted at the Johnson Ferry,
Northlake, Peachtree Corners, and Windy Hill Courtyards during June 1984
and updated in February and October 1985.
r
I .
The number of vehicles counted at each facility was averaged for a.m.,
noon, and p.m. weekday peak periods (shown in Table 1) and twenty-four hour
weekday periods. These counts were divided by the number of rooms occupied
during each period to determine individual facility generation rates. The
generation rates were averaged. These rates are shown in Table 2 along
with the Institute of Transportation Engineers published generation rates
for a typical hotel .
Table 2: GENERATION RATES
(Trips/occupied room)
Period Courtyard Typical Hotel
A.M. In . 18 .58
Out .28 .29
P.M. In .18 .36
Out . 14 .37
DAILY 6. 10 10.5
,The reduced generation rates for the Courtyard are attributed to the food
and beverage services, meeting areas, and other accessory facilities in a
Courtyard being sized for the needs of guests only.
Manual peak hour counts were made at all Atlanta Courtyard facilities.
Mechanical 24-hour counts were made for the two extreme generators -
Northlake on the low end and Windy Hill on the high end. These counts are
shown in Tables 3 and 4.
All Atlanta Courtyards are serviced by taxi and airport limo transpor-
tation. Northlake and Johnson Ferry are the only facilities located near
MARTA (public transportation) lines ; however, guests seldom use the ser-
vice. They usually use rentals, personal vehicles or are passengers.

Most facilities are located near high lodging demands However, the
Northlake facility is located northeast of Atlanta within the perimeter
interstate. This facility has a 90% and higher occupancy rate for all
periods studied, as have all Courtyards. The facility provides for a rela-
tively small amount of nearby lodging demand and tends rather to provide
for referral or overflow guests desiring to stay in the other Courtyards.
Even though public transportation is available to this site, the routes are
inconvenient to the guests. The lower demand is possibly explained by the
fact that most travel greater distances to their destinations and it is not
convenient to return often during the day. Based on the 24-hour counts and
average room occupancy, the generation rates is found to be 6.06 trip ends
per day.
The extreme generator produced by the Windy Hill facility is misleading.
Personnel performing the manaul peak hour counts witnessed during noon and
p.m. peak periods, up to 22 vehicles per hour entering the site with
passengers leaving the site to the restaurant located on the adjacent pro-
perty. Adjusting the hourly counts in Table 4, a generation rate of 6. 20
trip ends per day is computed.
