This meeting satisfies the requirement for a pre-application meeting prior to submittal of your zoning map amendment application ("rezoning") and/or a special use permit application. The purpose of for the meeting is summarized below: The purposes for a pre-application meeting are to: (I)provide the applicant and the county a common understanding of the proposed project; (ii) inform the applicant about the proposed project's consistency with the comprehensive plan, other relevant policies, and county regulations; (iii) broadly identify the planning, zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be addressed by the applicant; (iv) inform the applicant about the applicable procedure; and(v) allow the director to identify the information the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental information delineated in subsection (c). Receiving the relevant supplemental information will allow the application to be comprehensively and efficiently reviewed. The following are staff comments: (ii) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: • The Village of Rivanna Master Plan does not recommend any new rezonings until the transportation improvements to Route 250 East that are identified in the Master Plan have been completed. These are fairly extensive improvements. Secondly, there are sewage treatment plant limitations that affect the number of units that could be approved. Here is the language from page 31 in the Master Plan: Population Capacity and Future Rezonings Additional development in the Village currently is limited by Rural Areas zoning on most undeveloped parcels and the capacity of the sewage treatment plant which was installed for the Village. Although the treatment plant is currently operating at a little more than a third of its capacity, dwelling units which have already been approved plus the non-residential uses in the Village Center will use much of the remaining capacity. The actual number of additional units which may be approved for development in the future depends on the capacity of the sewage treatment plant. An additional 300 to 400 new units may be possible, if water and sewer usage in the Glenmore development continues at the same usage. Monitoring of available capacity is essential for any future development. If in the future, the Board of Supervisors decides that 1 additional capacity is needed in this Development Area, then major upgrades will be needed for the sewage treatment facility. In addition to sewer limitations, approval of any development by rezoning will be predicated on the completion of a number of transportation improvements, which are identified in the tables in this chapter. These improvements are needed to improve the volume to capacity ratio of US 250 between Route 22 (Louisa Road) and the City of Charlottesville. • The proposed use and density are consistent with the land use recommendations of the Rivanna Master Plan. I don't think the density is consistent on the high end. There seem to be between 61 and 63 developable acres (acres shown in light yellow), which would mean about 122 — 126 units. At the low end of 110 units, it would be ok. • Provision should be made for a future vehicular or pedestrian crossing over Carroll Creek, as indicated on the Master Plan. A reservation of land for future construction and/or dedication upon request of the County is one approach to address this master plan recommendation. • The project will be reviewed for its consistency with the principles of the Neighborhood Model. Staff has not done an exhaustive review of the plan provided at the pre-application meeting; however, a few observations are provided below: - Because of particular land use recommendations found in the Master Plan for this area (for low density residential use), the Neighborhood Model Principles that will focused on in the review will be Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths, Site Planning that Respects Terrain, Parks and Open Space, Pedestrian Orientation, and Interconnected Streets and Transportation Systems, - Neighborhood friendly streets would be required by the subdivision ordinance, designed as urban cross-sections with sidewalks and a green strip on both side of the street. A commitment to providing street trees would be needed. -- Since no grading concept was provided, it is difficult to know if the proposal will meet the principle, "site planning that respects terrain." An important rule of thumb to remember is that 2:1 slopes should be used judiciously because of the difficulty to revegetate. If 2:1 slopes must be used, large horizontal expanses should be avoided. In addition, tall retaining walls are not recommended — terracing for walls over 6 feet is needed. --To be in conformity with the parks and open space, a central feature is needed that can serve as a meeting/gathering for the community. It should be located in an area central the the lots. A neighborhood park, green, courtyard, play area or other concept should be considered. In addition, the two cul-de-sacs on the western end of the development need an amenity of some sort. See comments about possible pedestrian path. -For interconnected streets and transportation systems, more internal connections are needed, such as \connecting the two long cul de sac streets at the end and also somewhere in the middle of the "blocks" shown on the concept plan reviewed at the pre-application meeting. A good rule of thumb is that block length should not exceed 600 feet in order to create walkable blocks. (iii) broadly identify the planning, zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be addressed by the applicant • VDOT and the County Engineer have indicated that intersection analysis will be needed for the proposed entrance onto US 250 and to Running Deer Road Drive, and the intersection of Running Deer Drive and US 250 Both the VDOT staff and County Engineer also noted that there are concerns with the current level of service at the US 250/North Milton Road intersection and the US 250/US 22 intersection. These intersections will also need to be studied to determine the impacts of this development on the operation/LOS of these intersections. The specific information and format for this study should be determined in consultation with VDOT. Staff 2 would suggest that the applicant contact the representatives of the proposed Rivanna Village project (a potential rezoning application in Rivanna Village) to coordinate undertaking the intersection analysis of the US 250/Milton Road and US 250/US 22 intersections. • Provide for a vegetated buffer area along the frontage of US 250 as recommended in the Rivanna Master Plan. • Please provide intent for the strips of land between proposed lots and the perimeter boundary. Are these for a pedestrian path? A pedestrian paved pedestrian path could be an amenity for the development. If one is proposed, please provide that information. In advance of making a commitment, though, please look at the County's Design Standards Manual for paths to see the expectations. • The lots at the far west end of the development appear to go to the western property line. If any site work is proposed on these lots, please make sure it can all be done of the property or off-site easements will be needed. • Please see application submittal checklist for other information required with the rezoning request for Neighborhood Model District zoning. (iv) applicable procedures • Community Meeting —the applicant is required by ordinance to undertake a community meeting process as part of the review of the rezoning request. Staff is recommending that the applicant schedule a discussion of this proposal at an upcoming Rivanna Citizen Advisory Council meeting. This meeting should be held, if possible, within 30 days from the date the rezoning application is submitted, and can be held prior to the submittal of the rezoning application. Adjacent property owners and neighborhoods (and the Coordinating Reviewer/planner) should receive advance notification of this meeting (date/time/location). • If the applicant knows of any of any waivers or modifications that are needed to implement the proposed plan, staff recommends that those requests be submitted with the initial application. Staff will then determine the waivers should be approved with the rezoning action or deferred for action with site plan and/or subdivision plat approval. • A stormwater management plan for the entire development should be submitted for the development proposal. Please work with the County engineer in developing this plan. (v) Identify the information the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental information • Intersection analysis (as noted above) as prescribed by of VDOT • An application plan should be submitted with the Zoning Map Amendment application for R-4 zoning. • See attached pre-application checklist for other required information. This checklist will need to be filled, signed and submitted with the ZMA application. If you have any further questions, please contact me. Sincerely, David Benish Chief of Planning 3
