Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body. ➢ Preparing and mailing or delivering up to fifty (50) notices $215 + actual cost of first-class postage > Preparing and mailing or delivering each notice after fifty (50) $1.08 for each additional notice + actual cost of first-class postage ➢ Legal advertisement (published twice in the newspaper for each public hearing) Actual cost IA%-- - es between $150 and $250) County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Voice: (434) 296-5832 Fax: (434) 972-4126 Ro,ised IIA)2/2015 Page I of I ZMA RESUBMITTAL ZMA 2019-00009 Parkway Place 2. Parkway Place Response Ltr Part I WILLIAMS MULLEN September 3, 2019 Cameron Langille County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 RE: Review Comment Letter #1: ZMA-2019-00008 Parkway Place; Kotarides Developers (the "Applicant") Dear Mr. Langille: Thank you for your Review Comment Letter, dated August 2, 2019, updated August 14, 2019 (to include Transportation Planning Comments) of the Applicant's initial submittal for the zoning map amendment, ZMA201900008 Parkway Place. Enclosed with this letter is a revised Project Narrative, Revised PRD Concept Plan, and Revised Proffers. As you requested on August 20, 2019, this letter will provide responses to the questions and comments in the Review Comment Letter primarily as they pertain to the Application Plan and the Neighborhood Model Concepts. Responses to Zoning Comments are included as well. General Application Comments: I. Project narrative: i. Please provide an updated project narrative stating the proposed impacts to schools, and police and fire service. Please see revised narrative, enclosed ii. Please revise the "Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan" section of the narrative so that it states all four future land use designations called for by the Places29 Master Plan. No mention is made of the Public Open Space and Privately Owned Open Space, Environmental Features designations. Please see revised narrative. enclosed 2. Affordable housing: The narrative and application plan make no mention of how the project addresses the Comprehensive Plan's recommendation for providing a minimum of 15% affordable housing in developments subject to rezoning approvals. Please provide more information on how this will be addressed through the ZMA. See Zoning Division comments and the Neighborhood Model analysis section below. Please see revised narrative, enclosed. Density: a. Sheet I of Exhibit A states the proposed gross residential density based on the overall site acreage (2731 acres) and the maximum number of dwelling units possible (328). However, Chapter 8, Objective 8, Strategy 8C of the Comprehensive Plan requires ZMAs to be evaluated based on their proposed imLdensity. Net density is defined as the area of a parcel that has a future land use designation other than public open space, private open space, or green systems. The subject properties have areas of both Public Open Space and Privately Owned Open Space land use designations. Furthermore, certain environmental features such as WPO stream buffers, floodplain, and Preserved Steep Slopes are all identified by the Comprehensive Plan as green systems and must be subtracted from the developable acreage of the subject parcels, even if those features lie outside of open space future land use designations. A calculation must be provided on the application plan that clearly identifies the project's proposed net density. Please seethe enclosed revised Agplication Plan. i. The Public Open Space designation on TMP 61-167C should be calculated based on the acreage of the existing permanent park easement that was created when John Warner Parkway was built. This area measures 5.890 according the recorded deeds and plats mentioned earlier. The Application Plan has been undated_ ii. The applicant should use GIS to calculate the area of Privately Owned Open Space located on both parcels and provide a measurement. The exhibit has been provided with this resubmission as Exhibit F. iii. Areas within the WPO stream buffer, 100-year floodplain, and Preserved Steep Slopes that are outside of the 5.890 park easement and the Privately Owned Open Space must be identified and measured, andthen subtracted from the net density calculation. Net density calculation as been added to the Application Plan. b. Add a line stating the proposed net residential density within the overall development. The calculation should identify the minimum and maximum number of dwelling units needed to comply with the Places29 Master Plan future land use designations. Please remember that the Urban Density Residential (UDR) designation calls for densities between 6.01-34 units/acre. The Urban Mixed Use in centers designation calls for residential densities between 3-20 units/acre. Acreages of both land use designations should be measured (after identifying and subtracting green systems acreage) and the minimum and maximum dwelling units in both designations should be calculated individually. Please see the revised PRD Plan enclosed and the attached denEj& Exhibit F. 4. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has several comments on technical aspects of the TIA that must be addressed prior to making a final recommendation on the proposal. See the attached letter from VDOT. Please see the attached revised TL4 and Ramey KeM Response Letter. 5. The Urban Mixed Use (in Centers) future land use designation calls for a balanced mix of retail, housing, commercial, office, and institutional uses. Although several institutional uses currently exist on surrounding properties, there is a lack of retail, commercial, and office uses in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, Page 5-7 of the Master Plan states that Neighborhood Service centers "provide local -serving retail/service uses, such as a drycleaner, florist, convenience store, or coffee shop in a horizontal or vertical mixed -use configuration to support the residences, businesses, and other uses around them." Under the Zoning Ordinance, only office uses can be allowed in the PRD district through approval of a special use permit. The application could be strengthened if a commitment is made to allowing and provide retail, commercial, or office uses within some of the buildings in Parkway Place. See Neighborhood Model analysis below for additional detail. Please see revised narrative. 6. The illustrative plan sheets show elements that need a commitment including the landscaping, building facades, internal access to the public space etc. As mentioned in the Neighborhood Model Principles analysis and comments from other reviewers, there are aspects of Exhibit E that will likely need to be added to the application plan for a favorable recommendation. Other items could potentially also need to be added, pending review by the ARB. i. Comments from David Hannah, Natural Resources Manager, regarding more details on proposed activities in the 5.0 acre open space area are needed. The existing Meadow Creek WPO stream buffer and intermittent streams are environmental resources that should be protected to the greatest extent possible. Meadow Creek has been designated by the Virginia DEQ as an impaired stream, and protection of water quality should be a priority of this development. Making a commitment to re -vegetate and enhance the existing vegetation of those areas with locally native plants and plant communities will greatly strengthen the application. This could be done by providing a landscaping exhibit identifying certain types of landscaping and vegetation within and around the open space area. Please contact David for more information on the types of species that meet these criteria. The Applicant will not be disturbing any of the area oMprising the WPD stream buffer and streams as noted on the Application Plan. The Applicant is workine with the City of Charlottesville to Provide for slope erosion repair and lantin s in the exisfing Park easement area. Application Plan Comments: 1. Sheet 4 of the application plan shows a proposed 8" sanitary sewer and storm sewer outfall crossing through areas that are within the Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay Zoning District. As mentioned in the comments from the County Engineer below, private utilities may not be allowable within areas of Preserved Steep Slopes. Uses that can be permitted by -right in areas designated as Preserved Steep Slopes can be found in Section 30.7.4 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance. a. Explain whether these utilities will be within public easements or private easements. See Section 30.7.4 (b)(1)(c) for an explanation of the types of necessary public facilities that can be permitted by -right within Preserved Steep Slopes. The sankM sewer will be a Public sewer s stem and the im act is allowed er the Albemarle county Loning ordinance. b• If these utilities will be within private easements, provide more information that this crossing of the Preserved Steep Slopes is the only possible route for these utility distribution lines to be installed in order to allow reasonable use of the property. See Section 30.7.4 (b)(1)(f) for more information. This can be included as a written section in the narrative, and staff suggests also providing an exhibit demonstrating that this is the only possible route for the connections to be made. This will be reviewed by the County Engineer and ACSA. The sanitary sewer afi nment has been selected to minimize the 1 acts to the reserved slopes., c• Demonstrating compliance with the Zoning Ordinance Overlay District's standards will help this proposal meet the Neighborhood Model principle of "Respecting Terrain and Careful Grading and Re -grading of Terrain" as mentioned in the Neighborhood Model analysis section below. See below, no grading im acts. 2. A permanent public park easement was created on TMP 61-167C and was originally recorded in DB 3613, pages 344-351. The permanent park easement was turned over to the City of Charlottesville through with a quitclaim deed recorded in DB 4622, pages 523-537. a. Sheet 4 of the application plan shows grading inside of the park easement. Additionally, the application plan appears to show the park easement as following the boundaries of the 5.5 acre Conservation area. However, the actual easement measures 5.890 acres according to the recorded instruments. Staff needs verification from the City of Charlottesville that they have no objections to the grading in the park easement as shown, and that they have no issues with having presumed development occur within the missing 0.39 acres. Please contact the City directly and provide verification from them on the next submittal that there are no objections to either of these items. The applicadon Plan has been uadated to note that the Park open space is 5.89 acres. The A Leant is warkka with the Cky to obtain yemdssion for the eMMsed gradng and tooffer re 'r of gwLan eroded L1_oW in the easement as weU as to obtain Permission to install and maintain additional plandnP& as re uired by the ARB includin a 30' bu er alone the boun&ry between the park and the development as shown on the Plan. 3. The 1.1 acre open space area to be dedicated to public use partially meets the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for establishing a public park/trail access area within the Neighborhood Service (NS) center land use designation. However, the proffered drawings provided in Exhibit A proffered do not show installation of any improvements in the public open space. Improvemments within the public open space are only shown in Exhibit E, which is not part of the proffered plan. a. For staff to conclude that the open space dedication is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Places29 Master Plan recommendations, further commitment needs to be made to the proposed public park. For example, will the specific features of the open space be installed by the developer during site plan review and through coordination with County staff in the Department of Parks and Recreation? The Applicant has discussed the nark program with Dan Mahon, and with Chris Genic at the C' . The AgpAcant will continue to work with both Countp and Q& Parks authorities to Plan and obtain approval for the amenities and alangWs and to pmvide for Atture maintenance • see also Proffer #3 for a patendal cash 250 000 contribution in lieu of constmdion ofthe park improvements. b. Sheet 1 of the application plan does not demonstrate how public access into' the public open space area will be guaranteed — it can only be accessed through the internal private travel ways associated with the residential buildings. If gates are installed at the two entrances onto Rio Road, public vehicular access into the open space could be restricted. Further information is needed on this matter. The application plan and proffer statement should clearly explain how public vehicular access into the open space will be provided and maintained following site development. An access easement has been added to the lication Plan Sheet 2 or Public access to the park area Such public easement would be VgWtual unless other public access were to su rsede it in the uture. No aces would be installed to bar such public access. C. Dan Mahon, Outdoor Recreation Supervisor with the Albemarle County Department of Parks & Recreation, is reviewing this ZMA. Comments from Dan have not yet been received. Planning for vehicle access into the proposed public open space should be coordinated though Community Development staff and Dan prior to the next submittal. Dan may be reached at dmahon@albemarle.org. Please see comments to subparagraph (a) above. 4. Please revise the application plan, Exhibit A, as follows: a. Under "General Notes" on Sheet 1, please state all applicable overlay zoning districts that apply to the subject properties. These include: Airport Impact Area (AIA), Entrance Corridor (EC), Flood Hazard Overlay (FH), and areas of Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay Zoning Districts. These a livable districts are listed beside "Proposed Zoning" on the Application Plan. b. Sheets 1 and 2: Clearly delineate the boundaries of the public park easement that was created through Deed Book 3613, pages 344-351 and then dedicated to the City of Charlottesville in DB 4622, pages 523- 537. Label the easement boundaries with the recorded instrument number. See Zoning Division comments for additional information. Labeled on the Application Plan. c. Per the request for substitution of recreational requirements required by Section 4.16 of the Zoning Ordinance that was submitted, revise Note 8 on Sheet 1 so that it states "Active recreation must include a clubhouse, fitness area, swimming pool, recreation fields, playground, etc." See Zoning Division comments for further information. The note has been u dated as requested, d. Add a note that defines open space as follows: "Open space" means land or water left in undisturbed natural condition and unoccupied by building lots, structures, streets, or parking lots except as otherwise specifically provided in County Code § I 8-4.7. Please note that only 80% of the minimum open space may be a) located on preserved slopes and b) devoted to stormwater management facilities, unless the facility is incorporated into a permanent pond, lake, or other water feature deemed to constitute a desirable open space amenity per Section 18-4.7(c)(3)." The note has been added to Anglication Plan. e. Revise the "Allowable Uses" note on Sheet 1 as stated in Zoning Division comments. Done. £ See Zoning Division comments regarding notes contained on Sheet 1. Some of the notes can be removed since these are already required standards for the PRD District. See Zoning Division comments for specific items that should be removed. The notes have been removed, as requested g. Specify the maximum building height in feet and stories in the note on Sheet 1. Done. h. Note #9 on Sheet 1 conflicts with the Zoning ordinance requirements. The development requires 1.50 acres of recreation area, per Section 18-4.16 of the Zoning Ordinance based on the 328 units proposed. The acreage cannot be varied "by a maximum of 10%" as stated in Note 9 unless a waiver application is approved by the Board of Supervisors. Furthermore, Section 18-19.6.1 requires a total of 6.57 acres of "common open space" in order to establish a PRD district. i. A minimum of 6.57 acres of common open space and a minimum of 1.50 acres of recreation area must be provided. The minimum open s ace has been provided and noted on the Anylication Plan. Proffers: 1. The proffer statement will need to be revised prior to moving forward with a public hearing. Application plans do not need to be proffered for a PRD since the Zoning Ordinance requires Board approval of an application plan for PRDs by default (See Section 18-33.18 (B)). The original Droffer #1 has been deleted. a. If the Architectural Review Board (ARB) determines that specific architectural or landscaping elements must be included as part of this proposal, the illustrative drawings (Exhibit E) may need to become part of the application plan, or Sheets 1-4 of Exhibit A may need to provide more information on elements of the ZMA application that will be proffered. Following the ARB meeting scheduled for August 19, 2019, more clarity on proffer statement revisions will be available. The ARB made the following_ recommendations regrardine landucapine and architectural elements. reduce the uniform' of the sides o the two buildings on John Warner Parkway with materials and colors; break the massing o the two buildings on John Warner farkwaE by staggering16gggering and setbacks ofoortions of buildings; Plandne trees in accordance with standard EC Guidelines but in a more naturalistic con a uration. A 30' bu er between the development and the ark and a 20'buffer between the development and the trailhead Park have been added to the Plan to be reviewed by the ARB durinff site lannin . b. Staff highly recommends providing cross sections for the proposed improvements along Rio Road as part of the proffered plan. Currently, only a plan view of these improvements is shown on Sheet 3 of Exhibit A (application plan) and no exact dimensions, widths, etc. are noted. Since the TIA uses these proposed improvements to demonstrate that impact to Rio Road and Dunlora Drive will be mitigated once installed, a higher level of detail should be provided on the proffer plan. The road sections have been added to the Application Plan as Sheet 2. Please see Proffer #2 for aivotential cash contribution in lieu of construction. c. See the earlier comment regarding vehicular access into the public open space. This is already identified as a deficiency in the proffered drawings, so they can be revised in order to address staff comments. The Public access road to the trailheadivark has been included on the Application Plan. e• The proposed proffer#2 is an item that can be included in a written proffer statement. The commitment to completing any proposed road improvements prior to issuance of the first CO strengthens the application, so staff encourages the developer to include a written proffer statement. The proffer regarding road iplans, now ro er #1 ahya4 states that such improvements would be done Drior to obtainine the first buildin Permit even earlier than first nerdacate of occupancy), as has been discussed in communjU meetings. - The Neighborhood Model analysis In addition to the inserted comments below, please see the Applicant's Response Letter Part II addressing Neighborhood Model Principles. Comprehensive Plan Comments on how your project conforms to the Comprehensive Plan will be provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report that will be prepared for the work session or public hearing. The comments below are in preparation for the Planning Commission review and may change based on direction from the Commission and/or with subsequent submittals. The proposal includes two Tax Map Parcels. The first property is identified as Tax Map Parcel (TMP) 61-167 and is located within the Neighborhood 2 Comprehensive Plan Area, which is part of the Places29 Development Area. TMP 61- 167 measures 1.584 acres and is currently zoned R-4 Residential. The property is also located within the Airport Impact Area (AIA) Overlay Zoning District, and the Entrance Corridor (EC) Overlay Zoning District. TMP 61-167 is currently occupied by a two-story detached single-family residential structure with a finished square footage of approximately 1,300 sq. ft. The Future Land Use Plan -South contained in the Places29 Master Plan designates TMP 61-167 as a Neighborhood Service Center (NS) with the future land use classification of Urban Mixed Use (in Centers). The second property is identified as TMP 61-167C and is located within the Neighborhood 2 Comprehensive Plan Area, which is part of the Places29 Development Area. TMP 61-167C measures 25.734 acres and is currently zoned R-4 Residential. The property is also located within the Airport Impact Area (AIA) Overlay Zoning District, and the Entrance Corridor (EC) Overlay Zoning District. Portions of the property are located within the Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay Districts, as well as a small area at the southwest corner of the property that is within the Flood Hazard (FH) Overlay Zoning District. TMP 61-167C contains mostly open fields with some areas covered by mature tree and shrub vegetation. There are eight (8) structures on TMP 61-167C that have been used as agricultural outbuildings in the past. The Future Land Use Plan -South contained in the Places29 Master Plan calls for four future land use classifications across different portions of TMP 61-167C: 1. Urban Mixed Use (in Centers); 2. Urban Density Residential; 3. Public Open Space; 4. Privatively Owned Open Space, Environmental Features; A primary objective of the Neighborhood Service center (NS) designated on TMP 61-167 is to "provide increased pedestrian and bicycle access to the everyday goods and services offered" in the NS center. According to page 4-14 of the Places29 Master Plan, NS centers should have "a visual and physical relationship to major roads that makes them accessible to additional customers from outside the immediate neighborhood." Page 4-18 of the Places29 Master Plan identifies this NS as "The Meadow Creek Parkway" center and states that "land uses shown on the Future Land Use Map in the immediate vicinity of the Parkway are derived from the Jones & Jones study, which still provides guidance for development in the area immediately adjacent to the Parkway and Rio Road corridor. The study recommendations should be considered during review of land use decisions." The Jones & Jones sWud refers to this area as the "Rolling Uplands -Open" and identifies suitable uses on these properties and others in the immediate vicinity. Page 8 of the Jones & Jones study identifies the following general use categories as suitable in this area: Residential and commercial development Park/open space; rural preservation Transportation corridor Since the Places29 Master Plan and Jones & Jones study were adopted in 2011 and 2001, respectively, the John Warner Parkway has been constructed. The Meadow Creek Parkway referred to in both documents is the now existing John Warner Parkway. This road was built according to the alignment identified as "Alternative A" in the Jones & Jones study. A series of recommendations related to urban development patterns that should occur on properties along Rio Road and the John Warner Parkway are listed on page 18 of the Jones & Jones study. The most pertinent recommendations are as follows: * Discourage excessive linear -style development (strip development) along major roads; instead encourage compact communities with strong centers and clearly defined boundaries. The Ap licant responds that the proposed Proiect ful ills these recommended attributes. • Maintain the linear park atmosphere along the parkway, thus enhancing the overall value offuture developments bordering the parkway. The Applicant responds that the gMposed Pro'ect does continue the linear park atmosphere by addineglantings to the City ark alonwa John Warner Parkway to enhance the Park and to break of the view of the buildings from the trail and bE contributing the trailhead Create districts and neighborhoods that have centers or focal points for congregating. These centers may include parks, plazas, schools, community centers, or small commercial and social areas. Centers should be within easy walking distance for most residents in the neighborhood. The Pro'ect will provide a small social area within the trailhead where c clists and Pedestrians can gElker to use the trail have Pic Lkand rest. • Establish an ordered network of streets, bikeways, pedestrian paths, and transit routes that will connect new neighborhoods, existing residential areas and non-residential districts. The Proiect will extend the trail aloag John Warner Parkway with a multi -use trail roughly arallel to Rio Road to the southern boundary of the ProverNovertv and includes an inter arcel vehicular connection to TMP 61-167A. • Create appealing streeiscapes and public spaces with street trees and landscaping to make the neighborhood inviting and to connect residential areas to each other as well as to commercial centers and common areas. As shown most s eci acallon the Landsca a Plan the Pro'ect will include new tree lantin s within the Public Park alone the Parkway and within the new trailhead ark new street trees and landsc in throughout the proiect and alone Rio Road and a 30'-20' buffer alone the northwest north and northeast boundaries o the develo ment area between the buildings and thUublicivark and trailhead pM& • Integrate development with open space and recreation opportunities, including the parkway, parks and natural areas, andpedestrian/bike paths. Connect to surrounding park and recreation amenities such as Pen Park and the proposed Rivanna river walk, as well as to other existing developed areas. • Encourage new development that respects the existing landscape and that is compatible in scale, form, and character with the terrain features. The Pro'ect will enhance with additional lantin s and new abuttin trailhead park the gdYlin 5. 93acre Ch zPark along the Earkway and will include a new tree -lined multi -use sidewalk alone Rio Road to the southern property boundary, The Applicant is in discussions with the City and Coun& Park authorities to plan the Pro'ect's additional glantings in the Chypark and to Provide for maintenance in er etu' . In addition the A licant is requesting Permission to rude in the easement area in exchange for repairing existing erosion. Several maps and exhibits contained in the Jones & Jones study identify areas suitable for urban development vs. open space, parks, trails, etc. These drawings are very general and conceptual in nature. These drawings can be viewed on pages 19 and 22 of the study. The application plan and site layout proposed with ZMA201900008 is consistent with the following exhibits in the study: Urban Development Pattern on page 19, Urban Development — Pedestrian Connections on page 19, Urban Development — Vehicular Connections on page 19, and Corridor Land Use Concept on page 22. Therefore, staff has compared the application primarily with the recommendations contained in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Plan and the Places29 Master Plan. Where relevant, the Jones &Jones study recommendations are incorporated into the analysis. See the Neighborhood Model analysis section below for specific comments. In addition to consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, please also be advised that all zoning map amendment applications are evaluated relative to the "factors to be considered" specified in County Code § 18-33.27(B). This evaluation will be written in the staff report to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors once the application moved forward to Please see the attached Response Letter Part II for the Anolicant's responses to the Neighborhood Model Principles. — Site Plan/Subdivision Comments The Applicant is not prop2gng detached single-family dwellings, so these comments are not addressed in detail. Zoning Comments PROFFER COMMENTS: 1. PRD is a planned development subject to the requirements of Section 8 of the ordinance. As such, I don't believe that it is necessary to proffer the plan. If the purpose of the proffer is to prevent any variations to the trailhead park, I suggest revising note #4 of the plan regarding that feature rather than a proffer. The formerfroffer #I proffering the Plan itself has been deleted and Note #4 on the Plan has been updated to include the dedication of the trailhead nark to the public as Part of the key eatures of the plam A new proffer #3 has been added to Provide for a otential cash contribution in lieu of construeffim the trailhead park. 2. This proffer must provide for more specificity in terms of minimum ROW width to be dedicated and specific transportation improvements that are proffered. Provide reference in the proffer to Sheet 3. The road dimensions have been „added to the transportation improvement designs, which have been added to the Application Plan as Sheet Z Reference to this Sheet 2 has been added to the proffer statement as well as a new M er #2 that Provides for a Potential cash contribution in lieu of the Rio Road transportation improvements. APPLICATION PLAN COMMENTS: 1. No information was provided as to how the Affordable Housing policy will be addressed. This in ormation has been added to the a lication narrative and the Neighborhood Model Principles discussion in Part II of this Response Letter. 2. I understand the Application Plan to be sheets 1-4. Should there be features (ex. Landscape plan or building height elevations) that need to be defined as major elements of the plan they should be called out as sheets of the application plan, not attached illustrative sheets. Building story and height limits. Public access easements landscapine and buiTerinje, and information reeardina the trailhead park amenities have been added to the Application Plan. 3. Sheet 2-Add deed book and page number reference to existing Rivanna Trail and provide any easement location on the plan sheet. The Deed Book and name references for the park easement have been added to the Application Plan. 4. Recreational Facilities a. The Applicant is requesting a special exception of the requirements of Section 4.16. Zoning has no objection; however, we would like to guarantee the inclusion of active recreation. The proposal suggests the inclusion of a pool, clubhouse, tot lot, recreation fields, amongst other things, however Note 8 on Exhibit A Sheet 1 suggests that this active recreation area (1.5 acre) "may" include those elements. To ensure that active recreation will be built and be a legitimate substitute of the requirements of 4.16 Zoning suggests that Note 8 be reworded to say the "Active Recreation Area must include a clubhouse, fitness area, swimming pool, recreation fields, playgrounds tot lots ..." Note 8 has been reworded, as requested General Notes a. A lot of the subsections of the general notes on Exhibit A Sheet 1 include regulations that are already reflected in the Zoning Ordinance, such as parking and uses. These regulations are already outlined in Section 19 (PRD) of the Zoning Ordinance and there is no need to include them unless the applicant wants to specifically limit the development to those uses and elements listed in this section. To condense this section Zoning suggests taking these unneeded sections out or simply referencing the applicable sections of the Ordinance. The notes on the APPlication Plan have been updated to specify the s eci ac zoning code for the regulation for the uses on thenroperty and the Parking,. b. Building Heights- Specify maximum height in feet. The building height note has been unda_ ted to specify a speciric building, height limitation with the PRD. ZMA RESUSMITTAL ZMA 2019-00009 Parkway Place I Parkway Place Response Ltr Part II (Neighborhood Model Principles Analysis) Response to Review Comments Letter #1: ZMA-201900008 Parkway Place, Part 11 Neighborhood Model Principles Pedestrian Orientation The Review Comment Letter states that this principle is met. Mixture of Uses The Applicant believes that the Project would not benefit from commercial uses. In the Urban Density Residential areas, secondary uses may include retail, commercial, and office uses that support the neighborhood, open space, and institutional uses. However, retail use is not permitted within the PRD district. Office use could be added with an approved special use permit. In the Urban Mixed Use (in Centers), a Neighborhood Service Center is desirable. Table LU 1: Land Uses in Centers and Uptown indicates that a Neighborhood Service Center (NS)' should have a minimum of one (1) small green park conveniently located and intended to be a central focal point of the center with additional open space as necessary, depending on the intensity and mix of uses. Table LU I further recommends, with regard to Open Space, that each Center needs a minimum of 10% usable open space and that the minimum size of the park should be % to Y2 acre. The proposed trailhead park will comprise 1.1 acres and will serve as a gateway to the Rivanna Trail that runs along the Parkway side of the Property, providing parking to those beyond walking distance and a green area and information center for trail visitors. Having spoken with the former Director of Community Development and Parks & Recreation about use of the Neighborhood Service Center portion of the Property, the Applicant determined that commercial or mixed use would be less desirable at this intersection than a public trailhead park. The trailhead park is particularly appropriate in this location because the existing trail along John Warner Parkway comes to an abrupt stop from the southwest and has no connection point from the northeast. Objective 4 of the Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is to "(p)rovide access points to greenways and blueways." As Strategy 4(a) explains, "(a)ccess points are important because they make it possible for residents and visitors to get to community destinations by trail."z The Places29 Master Plan also recommends to "(p)rovide for trail connections from adjacent and nearby neighborhoods to the Greenway network).' By contrast, commercial development at this intersection would be undesirable as it would increase traffic levels to the Property. "With infill and redevelopment, not all Neighborhood Model Principles may be applicable depending on the context of the site."4 Considering this Center within its context, the Applicant suggests that a public park providing access to the existing trail and conserved public open space as well as a connection to the multi -use sidewalk to be extended southeast on Rio Road is more desirable than commercial uses. Given that office use is the only non-residential use permitted in PRD zoning, there is no loss in potential street -level amenities, such as coffee shops or other retail 1 Places29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Areas adopted February 2, 2011, amended June 10, 2015, Chapter 4, Future Land Use Plan and Transportation Network. 2 Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan. adopted June 10, 2015, Chapter 11, Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems, p. 11.21. 3 Places29: A Master Plan for the Northern Develo ment Areas adopted February 2, 2011, amended June 10, 2015, Chapter 6, Community Facilities and Services, p. 6-3. a Id Chapter 8, Development Areas, Objective 6, p. 8.32. 11 Page establishments, which would not be permitted in the district and would only increase traffic in the area. The Project will be a focal point of a Residential Neighborhood. Parkway Place will be organized around both privately -owned Common Open Space and Public Open Space. Privately -owned Common Open Space will be located in the center of the community in the form of passive recreation areas and active recreational amenities and in the southern portion of the Property where environmental features will be preserved and stormwater management facilities will be installed. Public Open Space will be along John Warner Parkway and at the intersection with Rio Road in the form of the proposed trailhead park, which will provide to the surrounding community a connection to a public open space and a Center ... with "convenient pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Center." 5 Neighborhood Centers The Applicant is not proposing any buildings within the portion of the Property designated as Urban Mixed Use (in Centers). The Project will "maintain the visual integrity"' of the Rio Road and John Warner Parkway Entrance Corridors by continuing the character of the John Warner Parkway Entrance Corridor as rolling natural open space with tree and flower plantings. The installation of the trailhead park with tree plantings and landscaping along the EC and intersection will enhance the viewshed from both Rio Road and John Warner Parkway. As described in the Mixture of Use principle section above with respect to the portion of the property designated as Urban Density Residential, the Applicant has determined that the Project would not be strengthened by adding non-residential buildings within the Urban Mixed Use (in Centers) portion of the Property. Such mixed uses would increase the traffic in the area and would take away from the area needed for the public trailhead park area. 61-1615 sir Lark nnnc `t 4X As was discussed in the ARB VIM meeting on August 19, 2019, the a »a,„„*a1>, �, property immediately southwest of WL, 1", _ the Property on John Warner """ , s• ;:'° - Parkway is owned by the City of Charlottesville, which may help to i' �MSe continue the unbroken greenscape along the road and bikelped trail. 5 Id Chapter 5, Place Types, p. 5-2. 'Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan 2015, Plan Summary, Historic, Cultural, and Scenic Resources, Objective 8, P. 5-19. 21 Page Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability The Comprehensive Plan posits a strategy of ensuring that Development Areas provide a variety of housing types, stating that "a full range of housing types creates choices for residents." A primary impetus for housing type choice is housing affordability, which apartments are uniquely suited to satisfy. The Comprehensive Plan also notes that "a mixture of housing types may not be necessary for inf ll development, depending on the context and location." As the pie charts accompanying Strategy 2g in the Development Areas chapter and Strategy 4a in the Housing chapter illustrates, the County has a very low stock of multifamily housing overall and within the Development Areas specifically, being only four percent (4%) in both calculations: Figure 9: Figure 3: !lousing Types in Albemarle County Dwelling Unit in Developmen! Amos ,m 45FD eVAITH "=laFkondo s ■rep 3arex 4fbemor7e Gainh G muiiry Osr�7op�s�rd 201s The Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Assessment published by The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission reports that only three percent (3%) of the land in Albemarle County is zoned for multifamily housing, while ninety-five percent (95%) is zoned for single-family housing (Table 14. Residential Zoning by Jurisdiction, 2018). The report goes on to explain that "(u)nder the goal of protecting single-family neighborhoods, such zoning restricts the opportunities for multi -family housing and increases multi -family land prices" (Id., p. 61). The areas surrounding the development are heavily developed with single-family detached homes, townhomes, and condominiums. As we have seen in a number of recent developments (e.g. Rio West and Greenfield Terrace Apartments), in such context of existing residential development, it is appropriate to consider the proposed housing type in the context of surrounding development. The Objective 2, Strategy 2g of Urban Development Areas provides that "(u)less a mixture of housing types already exists in an area, new development proposals should offer a variety of housing types for different income levels" 7 (emphasis added.) In a recent (July 30, 2019) Planning Commission work session for ZMA201900004 Breezy Hill, Commissioners discussed the question posed by staff, "Should a variety of housing types (such as townhomes and single-family detached) be provided within the development, or should only single-family detached dwellings be provided?" Staff reported that "considering the proximity of this proposed development to the existing Running Deer neighborhood, which is listed as being 'expected to retain their low -density character,' Staff believes it would not be inappropriate for only single-family detached dwelling units to be provided in Breezy Hill." The Commission discussed the various possibilities and the pros and cons of multiple housing types, specifically in relation to the goals of preserving open space and providing affordable housing. The Applicant does not propose to provide two or more housing types within this development for several reasons. The Urban Density Residential designation calls for medium density in this Albemarle County Comprehensive plan. Chapter 8, Development Areas, Objective 2, p. 8.18. 31 Page location, there are a range of housing types in multiple developments in close proximity to the Project, the development of single-family or townhome units on the property would not be an efficient use of the property and, further, would not enhance the housing mix in the area, which already includes townhome, condominium, and single-family options. Further, the Applicant is proposing to provide 15% of the units (49 units if 328 units are constructed) at rental rates equal to 30% of the gross income of 80% Area Median Income (AMI), based on family size; such affordable rates would be maintained for at least ten (10) years. Providing such affordable units within the Project will ensure a mix of housing affordability on site, which is the primary goal of this strategy of the Neighborhood Model Principle as is indicated by the following statement: "(u)nless a mixture of housing types already exists in an area, new development proposals should offer a variety of housing types for different income levels" (emphasis added).' Multifamily housing often provides the best affordable option in high -cost areas close to urban development where people work. Relegated Parking This principle is met because all parking is relegated to the rear or sides of buildings. None of the parking areas will be visible from the Entrance Corridors. In its August 19, 2019 advisory hearing, the ARB decided to review illumination and parking lot landscape buffering as part of the site plan review. The Plan will confirm that the Project has sufficient parking space for the proposed use. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks The Applicant's traffic engineer has updated the Traffic Impact Analysis to address the comments provided by Transportation Planning and VDOT. Multimodal Transportation Opportunities The Applicant's traffic engineer has updated the Traffic Impact Analysis to address the comments provided by Transportation Planning and VDOT. Parks, Recreational Amenities, and Open Space The Project proposal has been strengthened with respect to this principle by the following revisions: (a) the Application Plan notes commit to specific types of recreational options, (b) the Application Plan notes that the Applicant will construct, or contribute the funds to construct, the amenities within the trailhead park. As discussed with Dan Mahon and Chris Gensic (City Parks and Recreation), the developer will continue to work with the County and City to plan the control of, and amenities within, the trailhead park, to be approved by City or County or by joint agreement during site planning. Park amenities proposed are not all inclusive and shall be limited to typical pocket parts type amenities. The type of park amenities and constructed infrastructure to be installed by the developer may include: a. Park grading b. Entrance and parking C. Area for public art d. Sidewalk/sidewalk access e. Multiuse lawn area f. Picnic pavilion or gazebo g. Benches and picnic tables h. Potential off leash area (to be determined) i. internal landscaping and shade trees s Id Strategy 2g, p. 8.18. 4 1 P a g e Perimeter street trees per county ordinance The developer shall dedicate the park and improvements to public use. The County or City or both by joint use agreement shall be responsible for maintenance and life cycle replacements in the park. Perimeter landscape screening for parking lots, etc., as required by Albemarle County Code, shall be maintained by the developer. Within the existing City easement park, limited grading shall be required on the edges of the easement park internal to the easement in areas of failing slopes and eroded soils and in limited areas associated with infrastructure installation along the edges of the subject development. All grading areas will be stabilized per county erosion and sediment control requirements and planted with an appropriate mix of native vegetation designed to retain soil and provide native habitat. Landscape buffers and planting within the easement and on the Property shall be maintained by the developer, exclusive of meadows and landscape along the Parkway right of way deemed to be part of the required entrance corridor streetscape. A mix of native large shade trees and flowering trees spaced on average of 35' on center will be required by the County to be installed along John Wamer Parkway within the easement park. The Developer will install these plantings and anticipates maintaining them during a limited establishment period associated with the construction of the project, after which it is expected that the City will maintain them as part of the John Warner Parkway streetscape already maintained by the City. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale The Architectural Review Board considered a series of 14 questions from ARB staff at its August 19, 2019 meeting. In response to the question "(i)s human scale exhibited in the proposal, or is it anticipated that human scale will be easily achievable in the proposed development," the landscape architect on the ARB commented that the six -acre park and trailhead park and porches contributed to the satisfaction of this principle. The ARB as a whole answered that, yes, this principle had been met by the proposal. The ARB was fine with the three-story buildings, recommending that the massing be "broken up" by (a) reducing uniformity in materials and color, (b) staggering or setback of portions of the buildings and use of projections and bays, and (c) the proposed landscaping. Though a mix of heights would help, it noted, such as two-story "hyphens," it did not find them necessary for satisfying the desire for human scale. Respecting Terrain and Careful Grading and Regrading of Terrain The project has been designed to respect the existing terrain and to protect the existing natural resources of the property. All grading activity for the project will be outside of the preserved slopes, greenways, floodplain, and stream buffers, as shown on the Application Plan. Private utilities have been designed outside of the natural resource areas to protect these areas on the site. The public utility connections have been designed to limit the impacts to the natural resources on the property. 5 1 P a g e ZMA RESUBMITTAL ZMA 2019-00009 Parkway Place 4. Narrative with a. Parkway Place Response Ltr Part II (Neighborhood Model Principles Analysis) Parkway Place Zoning Map Amendment Application Narrative Original Submission: June 17, 2019 Revised Narrative for Resubmission: September 3, 2019 Project Proposal On behalf of Kotarides Developers, LLC ("Kotarides" or the "Applicant"), we hereby request the approval of a Zoning Map Amendment ("ZMA") for Tax Map Parcels 06100-00-00-16700 and 06100-00-00-167CO (the "Property"). We specifically request for the 27.31 acres comprising the Property, located at the intersection of Rio Road East and John Warner Parkway, to be rezoned from R-4 Residential to Planned Residential Development - PRD with proffers. The purpose of this ZMA is to allow for the development of a multi -family apartment community to be known as "Parkway Place" (the "Project"). The development will also include a publicly -accessible trailhead park to provide a community recreational amenity and access to the existing Rivanna Trail system on the Property along John Warner Parkway. Attached as Exhibit A is the Project's concept plan, entitled, "Parkway Place Development," September 3, 2019, prepared by Collins Engineering (the "Concept Plan"). The Project layout is depicted on Sheet 1, which is referred to herein as the "PRD Application Plan." The PRD Application Plan (Sheet 1) and the Road Improvements Plan (Sheet 2) together comprise the Application Plan. The A licant: Kotarides was founded in 1963 by Alex and O. Pete Kotarides as a small home builder in Virginia Beach. The company has been family -owned and operated for the past 56 years. Kotarides built its first apartment community in 1969 in Virginia Beach, and it continues to own and manage the community. The company develops, builds, and manages all its properties, thus maintaining the quality of facilities and service, and is very focused on being a good neighbor in the communities in which its properties are located. Existing Uses: As shown on Sheet 3 ("Existing Conditions") of the Concept Plan, TMP 61-167C (25.73 acres) contains open fields, several agricultural outbuildings, and the Rivanna Trail; TMP 61-167 is the site of a single-family residence. Both parcels are zoned R-4. The Property is designated for Urban Density Residential and Urban Mixed Use (in Center) in the Comprehensive Plan. The large parcel is subject to a permanent easement on an approximately 5.890 acre area for a public park and trail. A copy of the instrument establishing the easement is included in the application materials. Proposed Uses: Kotarides proposes developing the Property into a multi -family housing community containing 328 dwelling units, which would be a gross density of 12.01 dwelling units per acre (DUA). Sheet 1 of the Concept Plan shows the location of the building envelopes, trave lways/parking envelopes, and greenspace. An illustrative plan of the Project is attached as Exhibit E. As shown on Exhibit F. the Property contains 5.89 acres of Public Open Space and 1.14 acres of Private Open Space (which includes all steep slopes, stream buffers, and flood plains). The net density of the proposed development, after subtracting the acreage of the Public Open Space, Private Open Space, WPO stream buffer, preserved slopes, and flood plain would be 16.17 DUA: 328 / (14.95 + 5.33). In the corner of the Property at the intersection of Rio Road and John Warner Parkway, Kotarides is working with the County Parks and Recreation Department to design a Neighborhood Service Center consisting of a trailhead park to provide parking for those accessing Rivanna Trail. The park would include parking and 1 may include gateway monumentation, a gazebo with trail maps, and public art. The Applicant believes that this proposed park amenity providing connectivity to the existing trail system is a more appropriate use for this Neighborhood Service Center than mixed use development that would bring additional traffic to the area. As further beautification of the area and to increase the enjoyment of the Trail, Kotarides also proposes extending the County's wildflower meadow planting project planned for City property at the northeast corner of the Rio intersection onto the eased area along John Warner Parkway, stretching along the western boundary of the Property. As shown and noted on the PRD Application Plan,13.5 acres of the 27.31 total acreage would be used for private common open space, open space dedicated to public use for the proposed trailhead park, active recreation areas for the apartment community, a greenway continuation of the Rivanna Trail, and the existing public open space conservation area. Surrounding Properties: The Property is located within the urban ring just on the edge of the Charlottesville city limits. A number of residential neighborhoods have been developed on surrounding properties, including Belvedere, The Reserve at Belvedere, Dunlora, Dunlora Forest, and Shepherd's Ridge at Dunlora to the north and east off Rio Road West; and Riverrun, Treesdale, Stonehenge, and Stonewater off Rio Road East southeast of the Property. Several institutional uses are in close proximity to the Property as well, including Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center (CATEC) immediately northeast across John Warner Parkway, several churches on Rio Road, and Charlottesville Waldorf School and Charlottesville Catholic School to the south. Please refer to the Vicinity Maps attached as Exhibit C and Exhibit D for the location of the project in the context of existing roadways and walking trails, neighborhoods, parks, and institutional uses and businesses. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan �ry �Mti tiy5� �•t�f' _� Land Use Designations The Future Land Use South Map designates the Property as Urban Density Residential (orange), -Urban Mixed Use (in Centers) (pink / white strineL-Public Open Space along John Warner Parkway (green), andPrivately Owned Open Mce-ul ronmental Features in the western corner (dark green) where the stream and WPO stream buffer and 100-year flood plain are located, along with Preserved Slopes, none of which will be disturbed by the development. The Places29 Master Plan for the Northern Development Areas (the "Master Plan") land use plan designates 14.95 acres of the Property for Urban Density Residential and 5.33 acres in the northeast corner as Urban Mixed Use (in Centers). Please see the Comprehensive Plan excerpt attached as Exhibit B and the Density Analysis attached as Exhibit F. The Urban Density Residential designation "is used in areas around Centers where multifamily housing with a gross density range between 6.01 and 34 units per acre is desired." (See Master Plan, Ch. 4, "Land Use Designations"). The existing zoning, R-4, is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan because it permits only four dwelling units per acre, not the medium density 2 desired in this location. Primary uses within UDR areas are multifamily and single-family residential. As further detailed in the "Primary and Secondary Uses" section of Chapter 4, residential buildings should not be taller than four (4) stories or 45 feet unless by exception. The Project fits squarely within the desired primary use for areas designated as Urban Density Residential as it will be a multi -family residential development with proposed gross density of twelve (12) DUA. All buildings are proposed as three-story buildings no greater than 45' tall. In the Neighborhood Service Center area, residential uses with density of 3-20 DUA and three stories, retail and office uses, institutional uses, and open space are permitted. With 5.33 acres in this designation, the Property could support 15 to 106 units in the Neighborhood Service Center Area. As discussed below, the Applicant believe that an open space use is most appropriate in this area of the Property based on context. A public park easement held by the City of Charlottesville comprises 5.89 acres of the Property along John W. Warner Parkway. Private Open Space designation covers 1.14 acres of the Property. Mixture of Uses In the Urban Density Residential areas, secondary uses may include retail, commercial, and office uses that support the neighborhood, open space, and institutional uses. However, retail use is not permitted within the PRD district. The eastern corner of the Property at the intersection of Rio and John Warner Parkway is designated Urban Mixed Use (in Centers), which means a location where a Neighborhood Service Center is desirable. Table LU 1: Land Uses in Centers and Uptown indicates that a Neighborhood Service Center (NS)l should have a minimum of one (1) small green park conveniently located and intended to be a central focal point of the center with additional open space as necessary, depending on the intensity and mix of uses. Table LU I further recommends, with regard to Open Space, that each Center needs a minimum of 10% usable open space and that the minimum size of the park should be % to % acre. The proposed trailhead park will serve as a gateway to the Rivanna Trail that runs along the Parkway side of the Property, providing parking to those beyond walking distance and a green area and information center for trail visitors. Having spoken with the former Director of Community Development and Parks & Recreation about use of the Neighborhood Service Center portion of the Property, the Applicant determined that commercial or mixed use would be less desirable at this intersection than a public trailhead park. The trailhead park is particularly appropriate in this location because the existing trail along John Warner Parkway comes to an abrupt stop from the southwest and has no connection point from the northeast. Objective 4 of the Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is to "(p)rovide access points to greenways and blueways." As Strategy 4(a) explains, "(a)ccess points are important because they make it possible for residents and visitors to get to community destinations by trail."Z The Places29 Master Plan also recommends to "(p)rovide for trail connections from adjacent and nearby neighborhoods to the Greenway network).' By contrast, commercial development at this intersection would be undesirable as it would increase traffic levels to the Property. "With infill and redevelopment, not all Neighborhood Model Principles may be applicable depending on the context of the site."' Considering this Center within its context, the Applicant suggests that a public park providing access to the existing trail and conserved public open space as well as a connection to the multi -use sidewalk to be extended southeast on Rio Road is more desirable than commercial uses. Given that office use is the only non- 1 Places29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Areas, adopted February 2, 2011, amended June 10, 2015, Chapter 4. 2 Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan, adopted June 10, 2015, Chapter 11, Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems, p, 11.21. 3 Places29: A Master Plan Chapter 6, Community Facilities and Services, p. 6-3. 1 Id Chapter 8, Development Areas, Objective 6, p. 8.32. residential use permitted in PRD zoning, there is no loss in potential street -level amenities, such as coffee shops or other retail establishments, which would not be permitted in the district and would only increase traffic in the area. The Project will be a focal point of a Residential Neighborhood. Parkway Place will be organized around both privately -owned Common Open Space and Public Open Space. Common Open Space will be located in the center of the community in the form of passive recreation areas and active recreational amenities, and privately -owned Open Space is located in the southern portion of the Property where environmental features will be preserved and stormwater management facilities will be installed. Public Open Space will be along John Warner Parkway and at the intersection with Rio Road in the form of the proposed trailhead park, which will provide to the surrounding community a connection to a public open space and a Center ... with "convenient pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Center."' Mixture of Housing jyl2es The Comprehensive Plan posits a strategy of ensuring that Development Areas provide a variety of housing types, stating that "a full range of housing types creates choices for residents." A primary impetus for housing type choice is housing affordability, which apartments are uniquely suited to satisfy. The Comprehensive Plan also notes that "a mixture of housing types may not be necessary for infill development, depending on the context and location." As the pie charts accompanying Strategy 2g in the Development Areas chapter and Strategy 4a in the Housing chapter illustrates, the County has a very low stock of multifamily housing overall and within the Development Areas specifically, being only four percent (4%) in both calculations: Figurt+ 91 Figure 3.

Residential Zoning by Jurisdiction, 2018). The report goes on to explain that "(u)nder the goal of protecting single-family neighborhoods, such zoning restricts the opportunities for multi -family housing and increases multi -family land prices" (Id. p. 61). The areas surrounding the development are heavily developed with single-family detached homes, single- family attached homes, and condominiums. As we have seen in a number of recent developments (e.g. Rio West and Greenfield Terrace Apartments), in such context of existing residential development, it is appropriate to consider the proposed housing type in the context of surrounding development. In a recent (July 30, 2019) Planning Commission work session for ZMA201900004 Breezy Hill, Commissioners discussed the question posed by staff, "Should a variety of housing types (such as townhomes and single-family detached) be provided within the development, or should only single-family detached dwellings be s Id Chapter 5, Place Types, p. 5-2. 4 provided?" Staff reported that "considering the proximity of this proposed development to the existing Running Deer neighborhood, which is listed as being 'expected to retain their low -density character,' Staff believes it would not be inappropriate for only single-family detached dwelling units to be provided in Breezy Hill." The Commission discussed the various possibilities and the pros and cons of multiple housing types in relation to open space and affordable housing. The Applicant does not propose to provide two or more housing types within this development for several reasons. The Urban Density Residential designation calls for medium density in this location, there are a range of housing types in multiple developments in close proximity to the Project, the development of single-family or townhome units on the property would not be an efficient use of the property and, further, would not enhance the housing mix in the area, which already includes townhome, condominium, and single-family options. Further, the Applicant is proposing 15% affordable units within the Project for ten years, as described in the paragraph below, which will ensure a mix of housing affordability on site, which is the primary goal of this strategy of the Neighborhood Model Principle as is indicated by the following statement: "Unless a mixture of housing types already exists in an area, new development proposals should offer a variety of housing types for different income levels" (emphasis added).' Affordable Housing: Multifamily housing often provides the best affordable option in high -cost areas close to urban development where people work. The Applicant will offer 15% of the units at a rental rate equal to 30% of gross income for 80% of regional Area Median Income (AMI), based on family size, for at least ten (10) years following issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the Project. Impacts on Public Facilities & Public Infrastructure This Project has been designed to have a minimal effect on the existing public infrastructure. Water/Sewer: The Property is located within the jurisdictional area for County water and sanitary sewer service. There is an existing 12" waterline along Rio Road that will provide water and fire flow protection to accommodate the proposed density and use of the Property. A sanitary sewer extension will be installed across Meadow Creek and the city property to the south of the Property. The existing water and sanitary sewer utilities are adequately sized to accommodate the Project. An alternate sanitary sewer connection is being explored across the properties to the east of the project. Both alignments area feasible, and both alignments have a minimal impact to the preserved slopes on the site. Road Infrastructure: The proposed frontage improvements along Rio Road are designed to mitigate the additional traffic from the proposed development and help address some existing traffic issues with the Dunlora and Rio Road intersection created by existing development. A Traffic Impact Analysis report is included with this Application. The report includes the analysis and distribution of the traffic generated from the proposed development. The report also outlines the proposed roadway improvements to mitigate the traffic impacts from the fully -completed development. Four movement points are highlighted where wait times are undesirably high. These delays will increase over time with or without Parkway Place, but the proposed improvements will lessen the increased times in some locations. Most notably, the lane delay turning left out of Dunlora Forest, without road improvements, is expected to increase to an extremely high level without this Project. With the Project's proposed road improvements, the wait time will decrease over today's levels and will be a dramatic improvement over the level that would be experienced without the 'Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan Objective 2, Strategy 2g, p. 8.18. 5 Project. Please see the attached Traffic Impact Analysis for further details. All planned or proposed traffic improvements are subject to change based on direction from VDOT. The proposed traffic improvements are shown on Sheet 2 ("Entrance Frontage Improvement Exhibit") of the Application Plan. Fire Rescue: The Application Plan includes information regarding Fire & Rescue and shows 26' fire lanes, as required for the height of the proposed buildings. Shawn Maddox indicated in the Fire Rescue Review Comments that Fire Rescue has no objections to the Project. Schools: Students living within the Project would be within the current school districts for Agnor-Hurt Elementary School, Burley Middle School, and Albemarle High School. According to planning staff, "(w)ith current enrollment, Agnor-Hurt Elementary and Burley Middle School are under capacity; however, Albemarle High School 2018-19 enrollment was over capacity by 126 students."7 The total impacts of the apartment complex on the school system is minimal, due to the total number of 3-bedroom units within the development. Less than 10% of the total number of units will be 3-bedroom units, and one third of the units will be one -bedroom units. The County Schools provided the following matrix and estimates: OFFICAL CALCULATOR Type of Dwelling Unit Single Family (Detached) Single Family (Attached) (162) Town Home Multi -Family (328 Units) Elementary Middle High Total 0.15 0.08 0.12 0.35 0.13 (21) 0.05(8) 0.08 (13) 0.26 (42) 0.15 0.06 0.08 0.29 0.12 (40) 0.03 (10) 0.05 (16) 0.21(68) However, using the actual transportation data provided by County Schools, the total number of expected school students per year from this Project is 18 students, based on data for comparable projects provided by the Albemarle County Public Schools and the relatively small proportion of larger units: Transportation Data from Albemarle County Schools (10/2018) Reserve at Belvedere Arden Place Parkway Place Pre-K Elem Middle High (294 Units) 0 4 1 6 (212 Units) 0 1 3 4 (328 Units) 0 6 5 7 = 18 students Planning Commission Staff Report for ZMA201800013 Rio West, June 18, 2019. 6 Impacts on Environmental Features The Project proposes dedication of 1.1 acres of open space to public use at the intersection of Rio Road and John Warner Parkway. This property could be used for a trailhead, providing parking and other amenities to the existing 5.89 acre easement already dedicated on the property for a bicycle and pedestrian trailway. The resulting aggregate 6.99+ acre public open space dedication would commit one quarter of the Property to open space public use. In addition, there are existing preserved steep slopes along the stream banks and adjacent to Meadow Creek that will be preserved with this development. These preserved steep slopes will be protected as common open space on the property and will not be disturbed. Upland pocket park areas are also proposed within the development for active recreational amenities. These amenities include a pool, a clubhouse, and an active recreational field. Finally, a 10' pedestrian/bike trail will extend the existing Rivanna Trail on the north side of the Property along Rio Road on the east side of the Property. The total amount of proposed open space, which includes open space dedicated to public use (trailhead park), active recreation areas, the conservation area, the greenway, and common open space, is approximately 51% of the Property's acreage (less the acre to be dedicated for the Rio Road improvements). Please see the locations and acreage calculations of open space on the Application Plan. There are no proposed impacts to the existing streams or wetlands on the property. The Property is being clustered with this development, and all proposed development will be limited to the areas outside of the critical slopes, including the preserved and managed slopes, and outside of the existing floodplain, streams, and wetland areas on the Property.

Mixture of Uses The Applicant believes that the Project would not benefit from commercial uses. In the Urban Density Residential areas, secondary uses may include retail, commercial, and office uses that support the neighborhood, open space, and institutional uses. However, retail use is not permitted within the PRD district. Office use could be added with an approved special use permit. In the Urban Mixed Use (in Centers), a Neighborhood Service Center is desirable. Table LU 1: Land Uses in Centers and Uptown indicates that a Neighborhood Service Center (NS)' should have a minimum of one (1) small green park conveniently located and intended to be a central focal point of the center with additional open space as necessary, depending on the intensity and mix of uses. Table LU I further recommends, with regard to Open Space, that each Center needs a minimum of 10% usable open space and that the minimum size of the park should be'/a to'/2 acre. The proposed trailhead park will comprise 1.1 acres and will serve as a gateway to the Rivanna Trail that runs along the Parkway side of the Property, providing parking to those beyond walking distance and a green area and information center for trail visitors. Having spoken with the former Director of Community Development and Parks & Recreation about use of the Neighborhood Service Center portion of the Property, the Applicant determined that commercial or mixed use would be less desirable at this intersection than a public trailhead park. The trailhead park is particularly appropriate in this location because the existing trail along John Warner Parkway comes to an abrupt stop from the southwest and has no connection point from the northeast. Objective 4 of the Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is to "(p)rovide access points to greenways and blueways." As Strategy 4(a) explains, "(a)ccess points are important because they make it possible for residents and visitors to get to community destinations by trail."2 The Places29 Master Plan also recommends to "(p)rovide for trail connections from adjacent and nearby neighborhoods to the Greenway network).' By contrast, commercial development at this intersection would be undesirable as it would increase traffic levels to the Property. "With infill and redevelopment, not all Neighborhood Model Principles may be applicable depending on the context of the site."' Considering this Center within its context, the Applicant suggests that a public park providing access to the existing trail and conserved public open space as well as a connection to the multi -use sidewalk to be extended southeast on Rio Road is more desirable than commercial uses. Given that office use is the only non-residential use permitted in PRD zoning, there is no loss in potential street -level amenities, such as coffee shops or other retail 1 Places29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Areas adopted February 2, 2011, amended June 10, 2015, Chapter 4, Future Land Use Plan and Transportation Network. z Albemarle County Com rehensive Plan adopted June 10, 2015, Chapter 11, Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems, p. 11.21. 3 Places29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Areas adopted February 2, 2011, amended June 10, 2015, Chapter 6, Community Facilities and Services, p. 6-3. 4 Id., Chapter 8, Development Areas, Objective 6, p. 8.32. ............................................... 1 jPage establishments, which would not be permitted in the district and would only increase traffic in the area. The Project will be a focal point of a Residential Neighborhood. Parkway Place will be organized around both privately -owned Common Open Space and Public Open Space. Privately -owned Common Open Space will be located in the center of the community in the form of passive recreation areas and active recreational amenities and in the southern portion of the Property where environmental features will be preserved and stormwater management facilities will be installed. Public Open Space will be along John Warner Parkway and at the intersection with Rio Road in the form of the proposed trailhead park, which will provide to the surrounding community a connection to a public open space and a Center ... with "convenient pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Center."' Neighborhood Centers The Applicant is not proposing any buildings within the portion of the Property designated as Urban Mixed Use (in Centers). The Project will "maintain the visual integrity'Is of the Rio Road and John Warner Parkway Entrance Corridors by continuing the character of the John Warner Parkway Entrance Corridor as rolling natural open space with tree and flower plantings. The installation of the trailhead park with tree plantings and landscaping along the EC and intersection will enhance the viewshed from both Rio Road and John Warner Parkway. As described in the Mixture of Use principle section above with respect to the portion of the property designated as Urban Density Residential, the Applicant has determined that the Project would not be strengthened by adding non-residential buildings within the Urban Mixed Use (in Centers) portion of the Property. Such mixed uses would increase the traffic in the area and would take away from the area needed for the public trailhead park area. lrerw4+ 1_ a? As was discussed in the ARB �-= meeting on August 19, 2019, the property immediately southwest of WA 19 1 the Property on John Warner Parkway is owned by the City of Charlottesville, which may help to continue the unbroken greenscape along the road and bike/ped trail. 5 Id Chapter 5, Place Types, p. 5-2. 'Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan 2015, Plan Summary, Historic, Cultural, and Scenic Resources, objective 8, P. 5-19. .......................... .... 2 1 P a g e Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability The Comprehensive Plan posits a strategy of ensuring that Development Areas provide a variety of housing types, stating that "a full range of housing types creates choices for residents." A primary impetus for housing type choice is housing affordability, which apartments are uniquely suited to satisfy. The Comprehensive Plan also notes that "a mixture of housing types may not be necessary for infill development, depending on the context and location." As the pie charts accompanying Strategy 2g in the Development Areas chapter and Strategy 4a in the Housing chapter illustrates, the County has a very low stock of multifamily housing overall and within the Development Areas specifically, being only four percent (4%) in both calculations: t~lgure 9t M"Il'o-ng :mite in Develoomw Atari .r, . i PISFD SFA/T$ - �lcondo nra S.,wr.:;lrerMkC:.�.:'cas+wurv�r5'LsrWrY,:,:�'d .'['Jlu Figure & Housing Types In Albemarle County 5 a 1 SFD .+ SFAS .3 MF/Cando eJ MH The Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Assessment published by The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission reports that only three percent (3%) of the land in Albemarle County is zoned for multifamily housing, while ninety-five percent (95%) is zoned for single-family housing (Table 14. Residential Zoning by Jurisdiction, 2018). The report goes on to explain that "(u)nder the goal of protecting single-family neighborhoods, such zoning restricts the opportunities for multi -family housing and increases multi -family land prices" (Id., p. 61). The areas surrounding the development are heavily developed with single-family detached homes, townhomes, and condominiums. As we have seen in a number of recent developments (e.g. Rio West and Greenfield Terrace Apartments), in such context of existing residential development, it is appropriate to consider the proposed housing type in the context of surrounding development. The Objective 2, Strategy 2g of Urban Development Areas provides that "(u)less a mixture of housing types already exists in an area, new development proposals should offer a variety of housing types for different income levels"' (emphasis added.) In a recent (July 30, 2019) Planning Commission work session for ZMA201900004 Breezy Hill, Commissioners discussed the question posed by staff, "Should a variety of housing types (such as townhomes and single-family detached) be provided within the development, or should only single-family detached dwellings be provided?" Staff reported that "considering the proximity of this proposed development to the existing Running Deer neighborhood, which is listed as being 'expected to retain their low -density character,' Staff believes it would not be inappropriate for only single-family detached dwelling units to be provided in Breezy Hill." The Commission discussed the various possibilities and the pros and cons of multiple housing types, specifically in relation to the goals of preserving open space and providing affordable housing. The Applicant does not propose to provide two or more housing types within this development for several reasons. The Urban Density Residential designation calls for medium density in this ' Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8, Development Areas, Objective 2, p. 8.18. 31 Pag.e. location, there are a range of housing types in multiple developments in close proximity to the Project, the development of single-family or townhome units on the property would not be an efficient use of the property and, further, would not enhance the housing mix in the area, which already includes townhome, condominium, and single-family options. Further, the Applicant is proposing to provide 15% of the units (49 units if 328 units are constructed) at rental rates equal to 30% of the gross income of 80% Area Median Income (AMI), based on family size; such affordable rates would be maintained for at least ten (10) years. Providing such affordable units within the Project will ensure a mix of housing affordability on site, which is the primary goal of this strategy of the Neighborhood Model Principle as is indicated by the following statement: "(u)nless a mixture of housing types already exists in an area, new development proposals should offer a variety of housing types for different income levels" (emphasis added)." Multifamily housing often provides the best affordable option in high -cost areas close to urban development where people work. Relegated Parking This principle is met because all parking is relegated to the rear or sides of buildings. None of the parking areas will be visible from the Entrance Corridors. In its August 19, 2019 advisory hearing, the ARB decided to review illumination and parking lot landscape buffering as part of the site plan review. The Plan will confirm that the Project has sufficient parking space for the proposed use. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks The Applicant's traffic engineer has updated the Traffic Impact Analysis to address the comments provided by Transportation Planning and VDOT. Multimodal Transportation Opportunities The Applicant's traffic engineer has updated the Traffic Impact Analysis to address the comments provided by Transportation Planning and VDOT. Parks, Recreational Amenities, and Open Space The Project proposal has been strengthened with respect to this principle by the following revisions: (a) the Application Plan notes commit to specific types of recreational options, (b) the Application Plan notes that the Applicant will construct, or contribute the funds to construct, the amenities within the trailhead park. As discussed with Dan Mahon and Chris Gensic (City Parks and Recreation), the developer will continue to work with the County and City to plan the control of, and amenities within, the trailhead park, to be approved by City or County or by joint agreement during site planning. Park amenities proposed are not all inclusive and shall be limited to typical pocket park type amenities. The type of park amenities and constructed infrastructure to be installed by the developer may include: a. Park grading b. Entrance and parking C. Area for public art d. Sidewalk/sidewalk access e. Multiuse lawn area f. Picnic pavilion or gazebo g. Benches and picnic tables h. Potential off leash area (to be determined) i. Internal landscaping and shade trees Id Strategy 2g, p. 8.18. ............... ---- 41Page Perimeter street trees per county ordinance The developer shall dedicate the park and improvements to public use. The County or City or both by joint use agreement shall be responsible for maintenance and life cycle replacements in the park. Perimeter landscape screening for parking lots, etc., as required by Albemarle County Code, shall be maintained by the developer. Within the existing City easement park, limited grading shall be required on the edges of the easement park internal to the easement in areas of failing slopes and eroded soils and in limited areas associated with infrastructure installation along the edges of the subject development. All grading areas will be stabilized per county erosion and sediment control requirements and planted with an appropriate mix of native vegetation designed to retain soil and provide native habitat. Landscape buffers and planting within the easement and on the Property shall be maintained by the developer, exclusive of meadows and landscape along the Parkway right of way deemed to be part of the required entrance corridor streetscape. A mix of native large shade trees and flowering trees spaced on average of 35' on center will be required by the County to be installed along John Warner Parkway within the easement park. The Developer will install these plantings and anticipates maintaining them during a limited establishment period associated with the construction of the project, after which it is expected that the City will maintain them as part of the John Warner Parkway streetscape already maintained by the City. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale The Architectural Review Board considered a series of 14 questions from ARB staff at its August 19, 2019 meeting. In response to the question "(i)s human scale exhibited in the proposal, or is it anticipated that human scale will be easily achievable in the proposed development," the landscape architect on the ARB commented that the six -acre park and trailhead park and porches contributed to the satisfaction of this principle. The ARB as a whole answered that, yes, this principle had been met by the proposal. The ARB was fine with the three-story buildings, recommending that the massing be "broken up" by (a) reducing uniformity in materials and color, (b) staggering or setback of portions of the buildings and use of projections and bays, and (c) the proposed landscaping. Though a mix of heights would help, it noted, such as two-story "hyphens," it did not find them necessary for satisfying the desire for human scale. Respecting Terrain and Careful Grading and Regrading of Terrain The project has been designed to respect the existing terrain and to protect the existing natural resources of the property. All grading activity for the project will be outside of the preserved slopes, greenways, floodplain, and stream buffers, as shown on the Application Plan. Private utilities have been designed outside of the natural resource areas to protect these areas on the site. The public utility connections have been designed to limit the impacts to the natural resources on the property. - - ..................... 5 1 P a g e ZMA RESUBMITTAL ZMA 2019-00009 Parkway Place 5.

The original TIA was submitted in October 2018. Following is a brief response to each review comment: Comments Provided by the County — letter dated August 8,2019: Public and staff have identified concerns regarding the Dunlora Forest Dr intersection with Rio Rd primarily related to left turns out of Dunlora Forest Dr. We request analysis of intersection operations at that location as an update to the TIA. Please contact me regarding the methodology for this assessment. An opportunity may exist to allow a U-turn movement at the primary site entrance that would allow vehicles exiting Dunlora Forest Dr desiring to turn left to instead make a right turn and then a U-turn at that intersection as a better option for this movement. Please analyze potential for this movement and if possible, incorporate any changes in the recommendations. ■ An analysis of the Rio Road at Dunlora Drive intersection is included in the revised TIA. The roadway geometry at that full -movement driveway does not provide sufficient pavement to accommodate northbound U-turns from the Dunlora Forest Drive intersection. Please note that the site trips have very little impact on the westbound Dunlora Forest movements (Table 7). 2. The PM queue at the John Warner Parkway leg of the Rio Rd/John Warner Parkway intersection extends far beyond the current storage length for both the right and left turn lanes. Wouldn't this compound the poor operations for that direction of travel. It is noted that the No -build future would also have this issue, but it would be worse in the Build scenario. ■ Unfortunately, even the existing eastbound (John Warner Parkway) queue extends past the left and right -turn lanes and is a result of limited capacity as John Warner Parkway is a two-lane Road. Given the existing, complex roadway geometry, the County should consider installing a two-lane roundabout through a SMART Scale project application. Charleston, SC - Charlotte, NC - Raleigh, NC - Richmond, VA - Winston-Salem, NC Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 2 of 4 3. Staff has concerns regarding the two lanes entering Rio Rd East from the Rio Rd/John Warner Parkway intersection. This could cause confusion and a safety issue. Suggest reducing to one -lane and then have left turning vehicles shift into a left -turn lane. This may result in changes to the modeling that should be addressed. ■ The recommendations and Synchro geometry have been revised. The applicant will construct the southbound left -turn lane with a "bulb -out" to ensure there is only one southbound receiving lane on Rio Road. 4. The Rio Rd intersection at the proposed full -movement driveway would operate with a failing movement for vehicles leaving the site wishing to turn left. This issue should be addressed to prevent people from turning right and attempting U-turns somewhere further south on Rio Road East. ■ The recommendations and Synchro have been revised to include a northbound median acceleration lane on Rio Road. 5. Staff appreciates the improvements that applicant proposes to make to the Dunlora Dr intersection with Rio Rd through the protected lane for left turning vehicles. This is a major improvement from a safety and delay perspective form the current situation. Additionally, the extension of the shared -use path south on Rio and new trailhead and parking will improve biking and walking infrastructure in the area. However, staff does remain concerned regarding the poor operations at the Rio Road/John Warner Parkway characterized by the long delays for the primary movements at this intersection. Any information on how this issue could be mitigated would be appreciated. ■ Given the existing, complex roadway geometry, we believe a two-lane roundabout would be the best solution. The County should consider submitting a SMART Scale application. Comments Provided by VDOT — letter dated December 7, 2018: For the two signalized intersections of John Warner Parkway/Rio Road and Rio Road/Pen Park Road: a) The clearance interval and signal timings for all Synchro existing models to not match the existing. Please obtain existing conditions from Staunton TOC and revise the analysis and reports accordingly. b) Please use default value of (0) for the lost time adjustment (-2 used). c) Pedestrian phases for the Rio Rd/John Warner Parkway signal are missing from all Synchro models. Please obtain correct timing from Staunton TOC and revise the analysis accordingly. ■ Synchro models have been revised to reflect the existing timings, pedestrian phases, and lost time adjustment. 2. The TIA included Synchro reports for the signalized intersection and HCS reports for the un-signalized intersections (with the exception of Dunlora Drive intersection with median acceleration lane). VDOT highly recommends using HCS 2010/2000 for Synchro output reports and requests consistency across outputs. ■ All LOS and delays reported are from HCM, and all queues reported are the Sim Traffic maximum queues reported from the average of 10 microsimulation runs. 01_RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 3 of 4 3. Synchro files for the build condition do not appear to be coded correctly for the following reasons: a) For the right in and full movement entrances, no right turn taper was included. Please provide a minimum of 100 ft. taper at both locations. This is required per Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual. ■ The tapers are now included in the revised Synchro b) At the right in entrance, the model shows two lanes (through and through/right) for the upstream and two lanes downstream with a merge area. This configuration does not match what is recommended in the "recommendations" section. ■ Per our conversation, a "dummy node" was coded into the model to more accurately reflect the location of the median acceleration lane merge section. 4. The Synchro model for No Build 2023 PM Peak hour appears to have an incorrect right turn volume for the intersection of Dunlora Drive. ■ Noted and corrected. Figures 11, 12 and 15; The Pen Park Road trip assignment appears to be incorrect. The left and right turn volumes from Lochlyn Hill residential development were added to the through movement. Please revise accordingly. ■ Based on discussion with VDOT, this comment is retracted, as the Figures were correct. 6. VDOT does not recommend extending the proposed SBL lane in to Dunlora Drive to the Rio Road/John Warner Parkway intersection as it may create safety conflict concerns between Dunlora Drive traffic and WBL traffic for Rio Road. ■ The recommendations and Synchro geometry have been revised. The applicant will construct the southbound left -turn lane with a "bulb -out" to ensure there is only one southbound receiving lane on Rio Road. 7. VDOT recommends submitting a conceptual layout of the improvements to Rio Road along the subject property's frontage. There are numerous geometric elements that must be reviewed and may impact the site's layout constraints. ■ Noted. 8. At the full movement driveway, the NB left turn lane must have a minimum of 100 ft storage and 100 ft. taper. ■ Noted. 9. VDOT recommends evaluating an acceleration lane for EBL traffic at the full movement entrance. ■ The recommendations and Synchro have been revised to include a northbound median acceleration lane on Rio Road. It should be noted that the full -movement site driveway will be a private roadway. 01_RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 4 of 4 Sincerely, Ramey Kemp & Associates, Inc. /� N Michael Bailey, P.E., PTOE Project Manager Enclosure Copy to: Mr. Adam Moore, P.E., VDOT Mr. Ryan Hambleton, Kotarides Mr. Scott Collins, P.E., Collins Engineering Mr. Bill Mechnick, LPDA 01_RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES RAMEY KEMP & A$$OCIATES, mc_ 1 RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS August 27, 2019 Mr. Kevin McDermott Albemarle County 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 Phone: (434) 296-5832 4343 Cox Road Glen Allen, VA 23060 Phone: 804-217-8560 Fax: 804-217-8563 www.remeVkemp.com Reference: Rio Road Multi -Family — Revised Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Dear Mr. McDermott, Ramey Kemp & Associates, Inc. (RKA) has performed a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the proposed 328- unit multi -family development located on the southwest corner of the Rio Road at John Warner Parkway / CATEC Driveway intersection. The access plan includes one full -movement driveway and one right -in only driveway on Rio Road and a stub -out for a future connection on the south side of the property. If approved, the proposed development is expected to be built in 2023. Figure 1 shows the site location and study intersections, and Figure 2 shows the preliminary site plan. The purpose of this letter report is to provide the following: ■ Trip generation calculations ■ Evaluation of turn lane warrants for the site driveways ■ Capacity and queueing analysis of the study intersections Existing Roadway Conditions Route 631 (Rio Road) is a four -lane divided Minor Arterial with a 2017 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) average daily traffic (ADT) volume of approximately 28,000 vehicles per day (vpd) and a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph) north of the John Warner Parkway intersection. Rio Road becomes a two-lane Major Collector with an ADT volume of approximately 11,700 vpd and a posted speed limit of 35 mph south of the John Warner Parkway intersection. Note that the ADT along the property frontage was calculated assuming the AM and PM peak hour volumes represent 20% of the daily traffic. Route 2500 (John Warner Parkway) is a two-lane Minor Arterial with a posted speed limit of 35 mph in the vicinity of the site and does not have a VDOT published ADT volume. Based on discussion with the County, the ADT is approximately 17,500 vpd. Route 768 (Pen Park Road) is a two-lane local road with a 2017 VDOT ADT volume of approximately 4,300 vpd, and a posted speed limit of 35 mph in the vicinity of the site. Route 1177 (Dunlora Drive) is a two-lane local road with a 2017 VDOT ADT volume of approximately 2,300 vpd, and a posted speed limit of 35 mph in the vicinity of the site. Raleigh, NC - Charleston, SC - Charlotte, NC - Columbia, SC - Richmond, VA - Winston-Salem, NC Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 2 of 11 Figure 3 shows existing lane configuration. Existing Traffic Volumes The AM peak hour (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and PM peak hour (4:00 to 6:00 PM) turning movement counts were conducted by Burns Service, Inc. during the week of August 27, 2018 at the following intersections: ■ Rio Road at John Warner Parkway / CATEC Driveway ■ Rio Road at Dunlora Drive ■ Rio Road at Pen Park Road / Waldorf School Road The AM peak hour (7:30 to 8:30 AM) and PM peak hour (4:45 — 5:45 PM) turning movements counts for Rio Road at Dunlora Forest Drive were conducted by RKA during the week of August 19, 2019. Note that some volumes have been increased as necessary to balance between the Rio Road at John Warner Parkway / CATEC Driveway intersection and the Rio Road at Dunlora Drive intersection. The traffic count data are enclosed, and the existing volumes are shown in Figure 4. Background Traffic Growth Based on discussion with the County and VDOT, the 2018 peak hour traffic volumes were grown by an annual rate of 2.0% for five years to estimate the 2023 peak hour traffic volumes. Approved Development Traffic Based on discussion with the County and VDOT, three approved developments near the site are included in this TIA. Belvedere Residential is partially built -out, with 190 single family homes and 90 townhomes remaining to be built and is located at the end of Belvedere Boulevard. The trip generation potential of Belvedere Residential during a typical weekday, AM peak hour and PM peak hour was estimated using the methodologies published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual — IOth Edition.

The total approved development trips are shown in Figure 11. The total approved development trips were combined with the background growth to estimate the 2023 no -build traffic volumes, which are shown in Figure 12. ®RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 4 of 11 There are several other small developments currently under construction near the site (such as The Center at Belvidere). Based on discussion with the County, it was determined that the trip generation potential of these sites is captured in the 2% annual growth rate. Trip Generation The trip generation potential of the proposed neighborhood during a typical weekday, AM peak hour, and PM peak hour was estimated using the methodologies published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual — IOth Edition. Table 4 summarizes the trip generation calculations. Table 4 ITE Trip Generation — Typical Weekday —1011 Edition Average Daily Land Use Traffic AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour (ITE Land Use Code) Size (vpd) (vph) (vph) Enter Exit Enter Exit Enter Exit Multifamily Housing (Mid -Rise) 328 units 893 893 31 87 85 54 (221) It should be noted that Rio Road is an existing transit corridor, and some of the future residents living along Rio Road will likely use the transit service. This will reduce the number of vehicles on Rio Road. To be conservative, this reduction was not applied to the trip generation potential of the site or the surrounding approved developments. Site Traffic Distribution The following site traffic distribution was applied based on coordination with the County and VDOT: ■ 32% to / from the north on Rio Road ■ 32% to / from the south on Rio Road ■ 3 1 % to / from the south on John Warner Parkway ■ 2% to / from the east on Pen Park Road ■ 1% to / from the south on Waldorf School Road ■ 1 % to / from the north on CATEC Driveway ■ 1 % to / from the north on Dunlora Drive Figures 13 and 14 show the site trip distribution and site trip assignment, respectively. Figure 15 shows the projected 2023 build -out peak hour traffic volumes. ®RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 5 of 11 VDOT Turn Lane Warrant Analysis The projected build -out AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the proposed site driveways were compared to the turn lane warrants in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Access Management Design Standards for Entrances and Intersections: Rio Road at Right -in Only Drivewa: ■ A southbound right -turn taper on Rio Road is warranted in the PM peak hour Rio Road at Full -Movement Driveway: ■ A northbound left -turn lane on Rio Road is warranted ■ A southbound right -turn taper on Rio Road is warranted in the PM peak hour Intersection Spacing Standards VDOT requires at least 250 feet of separation between partial access driveways and full -movement driveways / intersections on Minor Arterial roadways. The proposed right -in only driveway is approximately 180 feet south of Dunlora Drive and 265 feet north of the proposed full -movement driveway. The proposed right -in only driveway does not meet VDOT's minimum intersection spacing standards, so an Access Management Exception (AME) request will be submitted. VDOT requires at least 470 feet of separation between full -movement driveways and intersections on Minor Arterial roadways. The proposed full -movement driveway is approximately 645 feet north of Dunlora Forest Drive. The proposed full -movement driveway exceeds VDOT's minimum intersection spacing standards. Traffic Capacity Analysis Traffic capacity analysis for the study intersections was performed using Synchro 10, which is a comprehensive software package that allows the user to model signalized and unsignalized intersections to determine levels -of - service based on the thresholds specified in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) — 6t' Edition. All queues reported are the maximum SimTraffic queues based on the average of 10 microsimulation runs. Note that Rio Road is considered an east / west roadway but is north / south in the vicinity of the site. Additionally, John Warner Parkway, Dunlora Drive, Pen Park Road, and Waldorf School Road are all east / west roadways in the vicinity of the site. ®RAMEY KEMP ASSOCIATES Mr. Kevin McDermott Page 6 of 11 Table 5 summarizes the capacity analysis results for the signalized intersection of Rio Road at John Warner Parkway / CATEC Driveway, and the Synchro and SimTraffic outputs are enclosed for reference.

Data was reported from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 within 150 feet of the study intersection. There have only been five reported collisions over the last 5 years and just one angle crash, so the intersection does not meet the warrant of five or more correctable collisions over a twelve-month period. Additionally, the collision data does not indicate an unusual crash pattern that would be mitigated with the installation of a traffic signal.

It should be noted that the County has submitted a SMART Scale project application to convert the existing signalized Rio Road at Pen Park Road intersection into a roundabout. If the application is successful, and the roundabout is constructed, the roundabout will likely improve the overall LOS for the intersection and will not have an impact on other intersections in this analysis.
