Please note that this approval is subject to the following amendments:

2. Addition of screening for adjacent parcels on the General Development Plan and Code of
Development.
3. Minor revisions to the Code of Development, Application Plan, and to the proffers relative to form.
4. Pull Building A back to 20 feet and add more landscape buffer.

Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive
public comment at their meeting on September 13, 2006. It is the Board of Supervisor's preference that a
public hearing not be advertised until all of the final materials for a zoning application have been received
by the County and are available for public review. To achieve this preference, please provide final plans,
final codes of development, final proffers, and any other documents deemed necessary by the Director of
Community Development, to me no later than Monday, August 21, 2006.

REVIEWED BY:
OWNER/APPLICANT PURCHASER:
Weatherhill Development, with Timmons Group as the consulting engineer, is the applicant; Barnes -Crozet
LLC (C/O Charlotte B. Dammann) is the property owner.
BACKGROUND:
On July 11, 2006, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the rezoning request and the parking
waiver for on -street parking. Staff recommended approval and the Commission unanimously
recommended approval with the following changes:
1. Revision of proffers relative to transportation impacts to include Eastern Avenue as a capital
improvements project to which they could apply.
2. Addition of screening for adjacent parcels on the General Development Plan and Code of
Development.
3. Minor revisions to the Code of Development, Application Plan, and to the proffers relative to form.
4. Pull Building A back to 20 feet and add more landscape buffer.
5. Cut off lighting shall be added in the Code of Development.
6. Setbacks are to be addressed on the plan.
The Commission also unanimously recommended approval of the parking waiver for on -street parking.
DISCUSSION:
New proffers were submitted on August 25, 2006 and modified on September 5, 2006 which are included
as Attachment A. All of the changes requested by the Planning Commission have been completed and, in
addition, the applicant has increased the amount of cash proffers from $213,300 ($2,370 per unit for 90
units) to $405,000 ($4,500 per unit for 90 units) as shown in the current proffers.
Revisions to the code of development and plan have been reviewed to the satisfaction of the Architectural
Review Board (ARB). The proffers have been revised per the recommendations of the County Attorney.
Attachment B contains the General Development Plan revised August 25, 2006 and Attachment C contains
the Code of Development dated August 25, 2006.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission's requested changes have been satisfied. The Board will need to determine
whether the proffers are sufficient to satisfy concerns related to infrastructure and the pace of growth in
Crozet. If the Board is satisfied that the proffers adequately satisfy the impacts, staff recommends approval
of ZMA 2005-00018 with the current proffers (Attachment A), the amended General Development Plan
(Attachment B) and the amended Code of Development (Attachment C).
Staff recommends approval of a waiver to Section 4.12.9 (a) of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for the on -
street parking to be provided for the purpose of meeting minimum parking requirements on lots that do not
necessarily abut the lot that the spaces serve.
