Subject: Review Comments for SP201700032 UVA Outdoor Tennis Facility and
ZMA201700010
The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above
noted application(s).
Tennis facility
1. Please provide further information and address impacts from lighting the facility and
connector road as well as compliance with the ACZO lighting regulations. Because this
is one of the primary impacts of this use, staff recommends that a photometric plan be•
completed to address spillover onto adjoining properties and roadways.
a. Additional Information Relating to Proposed Lighting
i. Will lighting be utilized during nighttime practice and daily operations, or
will lighting be limited to televised matches?
ii. What is the proposed lighting pole height for the tennis facility?
iii. What is the proposed lighting plan for the connector road?
iv. The illumination of the clay courts is of particular interest, as clay courts
generally reflect light more intensely than standard courts. The
illumination visible to the neighborhoods southwest of the tennis courts
will also be of interest, as they will be at a lower elevation than the court
complex. Will lighting of the tennis facility be limited to the nighttime
televised matches as mentioned in the narrative? If so, this will be
considered for a condition of approval.
b. Compliance with Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance
i. Under Section 4.17.4(a), all outdoor lighting must be full cutoff. It is not
typical for athletic lighting to provide full cutoff. Please address this
ordinance provision or submit a special exception for a waiver of
regulation per§4.17.5. Please be informed that without submittal of

currently existing spaces. How will the spaces be arranged to fit an additional 62 cars?

If full cut-off lights are available, per the applicant's additional information provided, they
will be required.
2. Pedestrian system shall be in general accord with the plan and major elements.
