PROJECT: ZMA 2007 - 00011 Patterson Subdivision
PROPOSAL: Rezone 3.52 acres from R1 - Residential (1 unit/acre) to R6 - Residential
(6 units/acre) to allow for up to 14 dwelling units.
PROFFERS: Yes
EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE/DENSITY: Community of Crozet; CT -

ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: No
LOCATION: Between Lanetown Road and Lanetown Way approximately 400 yards from
the intersection of Mint Springs Road, Lanetown Road, and Railroad Avenue.
TAX MAP/PARCEL: Tax Map 55, Parcel 63
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: White Hall
CHARACTER OF THE AREA
The property is 3.521 acres in size, with an existing house that dates to 1900, and is
zoned R1 Residential. Properties adjacent to the north and west are zoned R1 and are
low density residential, similar in character to the Patterson property. To the south and
east of the property is the Grayrock north subdivision, which is zoned PRD and
developed as single family homes on an average lot size of 1/4 acre, approximately 4
dwelling units per acre. (Attachment A -Zoning and Attachment H -Aerial Map)
BY -RIGHT USE OF THE PROPERTY
The current zoning of the property is R1 Residential. R1 zoning allows 0.97 units per
acre and minimum lot sizes of 45,000 square feet, or 30,000 with clustering, and a
density of 1.45 units per acre under standard provisions and minimum lot sizes of 30,000
square feet, or 20,000 square feet under bonus provisions. Since the property is 3.521
acres in size, up to 5 dwelling units may be possible with clustering/bonus provisions.
SPECIFICS OF PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to rezone to the R6 Residential zoning district but has not
provided a detailed rezoning plan. The concept plan provided by the applicant has not
been engineered and it is the applicant's intent to commit to certain aspects of the plan
through proffers. Details would be finalized with site development plan or subdivision plat
applications. At present, there is no proffered plan or identification of features from the
concept plan that would be proffered. Proffers have been submitted and are provided as
Attachment B.

The applicant has provided a conceptual lot layout, including 12 lots, two of which would
have two -single family attached units, for a total of 14 residential units. (Attachment G -
Concept Plan) The conceptual layout includes approximately 0.80 acres designated for
open space adjacent to Lanetown Road and provisions for stormwater management
adjacent to Lanetown Way. The green/open space is proposed for dedication to the
County and parking has been provided at the end of the 40' public road proposed.
APPLICANT'S JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST
The applicant has indicated that this project would provide a range of housing stock that
will include affordable accessory units.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Crozet Master Plan
The property is located within a Neighborhood as defined in the Crozet Master Plan, at
the edge of the northwestern edge of the Crozet Development Area. The northern
boundary of the Community of Crozet follows Lanetown Road adjacent to this property.
(see inset below and Crozet Master Plan Attachment 1)
Crozet Master Plan Place Type and Built Infrastructure Map
The property is designated Neighborhood/Village Edge (CT3-yellow) in the Crozet
Master Plan. The Edge areas are intended to support neighborhood centers with
predominantly residential uses, especially single family detached. The Crozet Master
Plan specifies net density rather than gross density as a guide for rezonings. The Zoning
Ordinance requirements are based on gross density so both calculations are provided in
this report. Net residential density recommended in the plan is 3.5-4.5 units per acre.
The plan provides a recommendation of up to 6.5 units per acre if they are accessory

apartments added for 50% of the residential stock. Lot sizes of 10,000 square feet are
recommended in CT3 areas with 1-2 story structures at street level.
The applicant is proposing 14 units and the range of units suggested by the plan are 10-
13 units for this property, or up to 18 with provisions for additional affordable/accessory
apartments. The proposed net density is 4.9 units/acre and this is within the guidelines
for this property in the Master Plan. This is a gross density of 3.9 units/acre. The
breakdown of net density based on the Crozet Master Plan is provided below.

Minimum, Mid, and Maximum Crozet Master Plan Suggested Units are determined by multiplying the CT 3 suggested
densities for each CT type. For example, CT 3 Mid is equal to 2.82 x 4.5, which equals 13 units.
The Green Infrastructure map in the Master Plan reflects open space resources and
shows proposed greenways behind neighborhoods, along the ponds in Gray Rock and
to Lanetown Road. The intent is to provide access for these neighborhoods to
Downtown and other park destinations. (See inset below.)

Planning Commission 10/9/07 Board of Supervisors 12/12/07
Neighborhood Model
The Neighborhood Model describes the more "urban" form of development desired for
the Development Areas. The following is an assessment of this proposal's consistency
with the Neighborhood Model's 12 principles:
Pedestrian
The applicant is proposing two alternate street sections, either a rural
Orientation
road section to serve the development with pedestrian access on only
one side of the street as a trail or an urban section with a sidewalk on
only one side. As proposed, neither is a workable approach to
providing pedestrian access. The trail does not meet County
standards and the section is not acceptable to VDOT. This issue is
discussed in more detail in the waivers section. This principle is not
met.
Neighborhood
New projects within the Development Areas are expected to have
Friendly Streets
curb, gutter, sidewalk, and planting strips as features of streets

servicing new development and this is a requirement of the
Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has requested a waiver of this
requirement, submitting two alternative street sections for County
review. (Attachment C) One proposes a rural section with a trail on
one side and the other proposes an urban section with a planting strip
and sidewalk on one side. The waiver is discussed below. This
rinci le is not met.
Interconnected
VDOT recommends that only one entrance be provided to this

Road. The parcel is relatively small and interconnections would only
be anticipated to properties to the east, however the applicant has not
provided this on the concept plan and it is a requirement of the
Subdivision Ordinance. However, it appears that this principle could
be met.
Parks and Open
The applicant is proposing a 0.80 acre greenspace/field that would

serve this development and be located adjacent to Lanetown Road. It
has been proposed for dedication to the County but the Parks &
Recreation Department believes it should be maintained by a
homeowners association and does not meet their requirements for a
County park. Staff believes that the area designated for greenspace
is adequate in size. Typically, it is better if these amenities are
centrally located within developments. However, this site on the edge
of the Development Area and the park is proposed as a transition to
the Rural Area edge. This principle is met.
Neighborhood
Downtown Crozet and Old Trail, with its proposed center, appear to

The R-4 Zoning district was also discussed with the applicant and has been suggested
as more appropriate by neighboring property owners. The intent of the R-4 district is
essentially the same as R-6, except that it notes that it is intended to provide for
compact, medium density, single family development. However, both districts allow
attached units. The applicant is proposing a gross density of 3.9 dwelling units per acre
but would like flexibility in lot size so is requesting R6 Zoning, which allows a minimum of
4,840 square feet with bonus/clustering provision.
Staff supports the request for R-6 Zoning and believes the applicant's proposal meets
the intent of that zoning district and the applicant is proffering to limit the number of units
to 14, which assures density will not exceed what could be developed under R4 Zoning.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
Environmental & Stormwater Management -
There are no environmental resources on this property that would be impacted by the
proposed development. There is not enough information on this plan for engineering
comments regarding the stormwater areas shown on the concept plan. (Attachment H -
Concept Plan) The applicant would be expected to meet all requirements of the Water
Protection Ordinance at site plan or subdivision application. It appears that these
provisions of the ordinance could be met on site but could affect the applicant's ability to
achieve the maximum of 14 units proposed.
Streets — The property has access to both Lanetown Road and Lanetown Way, through
Gray Rock North. VDOT recommends that only the connection to Lanetown Way be
made because the proposed connection to route 684 is less that 200 feet from the
closest intersection and that is not a desirable situation. VDOT also has concerns about
the perpendicular parking proposed at the end of the road to serve the proposed
development and the typical road sections provided by the applicant. (Attachment E-
VDOT comments)
Schools — Students from this development would impact Crozet area schools and likely
attend Crozet Elementary School, Henley Middle School and Western Albemarle High
School. Cash impacts are intended to provide for impacts to schools.
Fire, Rescue, Police —The Crozet Volunteer Fire Station and the Western Albemarle
Rescue Station provide fire and rescue services to the area. The planned Ivy Area
Station will also augment services provide by the existing fire and rescue stations in
Crozet. Albemarle County 5t" Street Office Building houses the County's Police
Department, although the police patrol all areas of the County. Fire Rescue has
requested that the applicant verify adequate fireflow with site development/subdivision
plans.
Utilities — This property is in the Albemarle County Service Authority's jurisdictional area
for water and sewer service. There is a 6" water line on the north side of Lanetown Road
and an 8" sanitary sewer line in Lanetown Way. Final water and sewer plans are
required for ACSA approval. The sewer plans will also have to include offsite plans and
easements for that portion crossing properties of others.
ZMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision 7
Planning Commission 10/9/07 Board of Supervisors 12/12/07
Anticipated impact on cultural and historic resources
Existing structures on the property would be demolished with this proposal and the
existing structure on the property has not been determined significant.
Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties
Neighbors within the adjoining Grayrock North development have expressed concerns
about this proposal changing the character of the area and also about Lanetown Way
serving as access to it. In the Development Areas, however, development is expected
and this property is designated CT3 in the Crozet Master Plan. Staff believes that
impacts can be mitigated.
Public need and justification for the change
The change in zoning is consistent with the CT3 designation of the Land Use Plan and
would provide for residential capacity in a Development Area.
PROFFERS
The applicant has submitted six proffers (Attachment B). They are summarized here with
staff comments.
1. Maximum Number of Units -The applicant has proposed limiting the number of
dwellings to 14 total with the proposed development, which staff supports.
However, it should further specify that only 4 of those units will be single family
attached.
2. Affordable Housing -The applicant intends to providing affordable housing,
however it is unclear whether the applicant intends to proffer 3 or 4 units. The
affordable units are proposed as single family attached. The County's policy is
that 15% of the total number of units would be provided as affordable and 15% of
14, the total number of units proposed is 2.10. The proffers should be revised
using standard language and clarifying how many units are actually proffered.
3. Affordable Accessory Units -The applicant has proffered to provide affordable
accessory units with half of the 10 single family units proposed. It is not clear
whether accessory apartments meeting the zoning ordinance definition are
provided or if the applicant intends to provide accessory type units, such as
apartments above the garage. The Zoning Ordinance defines accessory
apartments as "A separate, independent dwelling unit contained within the
structure of and clearly subordinate to a single-family detached dwelling, as
distinguished from a duplex or other two-family dwelling" and supplemental
regulations also apply. If it is to provide accessory apartments as defined in the
ordinance, a proffer to build the units can be enforced but not a provision to
ensure that they are occupied with low -to —moderate income individuals.
4. Open Space Dedication to the County- The applicant is proposing to proffer
approximately 0.80 acres of open space propose in the development, adjacent to
Lanetown Road, to the County for parks and recreation purposes. The Crozet
Master Plan does not designate a park on this property and Parks & Recreation
would not accept the open space dedication, based on the following reasons:
o To access the area, the public would have to enter through a private
development, which could become programmatic for the residents of that
development and the County.
ZMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision
Planning Commission 10/9/07 Board of Supervisors 12/12/07
o Given its location, it would be utilized more by the residents, and not the
general public.
o The size of the field limits its use and by whom.
o In general, the size and location is more suitable for the residents as open
space and it would be difficult to justify placing it under County ownership
and including it in the County's maintenance program.
5. Lanetown Road Access restricted- The applicant is proffering to close the
existing access to Lanetown Road with development of the property, which was a
requirement of VDOT. Access for the property would be provided via Lanetown
Way. This is provided as a proffer since no proffered plan has been provided.
6. Cash Proffers -The applicant has not proffered the cash amount per market rate
unit expected by the Board's policy. An amount of $30,000 is offered, which is
$3,000 per market rate unit. There are 10 market rate units proposed and the
Board's expectation for single family detached is $17,500 per unit. The applicant
is proffering a reduced amount since the open space area is proposed for
dedication to the County, however it is not shown on the Crozet Master Plan and
not eligible for credit based on the Board's policy.
WAIVERS
The applicant has requested waivers for curb and gutter and sidewalks and
street trees, since they are only proposed on one side of the street.
Curb & Gutter waiver
Sectionsl4-410 H & I set forth the requirement and design standards for curb and gutter
in the development areas. Section 14-410 1 contain the findings that must be made to
support a modification of these requirements. These sections are provided below.
H. Curb, curb and gutter, sidewalks and planting strips. In the development areas, streets
shall be constructed with curb or curb and gutter, sidewalks and planting strips. Sidewalks
and planting strips shall designed and constructed in compliance with section 14-422.
I. Waiver of requirement for curb or curb and gutter. The requirement for curb or curb and
gutter may be waived by the commission as provided in section 14-225.1. A request for a
waiver may be made prior to or with submittal of a preliminary plat or with an application
to rezone the land, as follows:
2. Consideration and findings. In reviewing a waiver request to allow a rural cross-section
(no curb and no curb and gutter) instead, the commission shall consider:
(i) the number of lots in the subdivision and the types of lots to be served;
The street would serve no more than 14 residential units on 12 lots. Lots could be as
small as 4,840 square feet under R6 Zoning.
(ii) the length of the street;
The street as shown on the concept plan provided by the applicant is approximately 400
feet long.
ZMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision
Planning Commission 10/9/07 Board of Supervisors 12/12/07
(iii) whether the proposed street(s) or street extension connects into an existing system of
streets constructed to a rural cross-section;
The proposed road connects to Lanetown Way, which is an existing rural cross section
in Gray Rock, which is developed with quarter acre to one-third acre lots.
(iv) the proximity of the subdivision and the street to the boundaries of the development and
rural areas;
Lanetown Road is within the Crozet Development Area boundary and this street section
would be located within the development area.
(v) whether the street terminates in the neighborhood or at the edge of the development
area or is otherwise expected to provide interconnections to abutting lands;
The street as proposed terminates within the proposed development at a proposed
parking lot intended to serve the park and single family attached units.
(vi) whether a rural cross-section in the development areas furthers the goals of the
comprehensive plan, with particular emphasis on the neighborhood model and the
applicable neighborhood master plan;
It has not been demonstrated how the proposed rural cross-section would further the
goals of the neighborhood model. Adequate pedestrian facilities are not provided for
under the applicant's two cross section options.
(vii) whether the use of a rural crosssection would enable a different principle of the
neighborhood model to be more fully implemented; and
The rural cross section does not further implementing the Neighborhood Model.
(viii) whether the proposed density of the subdivision is consistent with the density
recommended in the land use plan section of the comprehensive plan.
The density of the proposal is in keeping with the Crozet Master Plan.
In approving a waiver, the commission shall find that requiring curb or curb and gutter
would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest; and
granting the waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the
orderly development of the area, to sound engineering practices, and to the land adjacent
thereto.
It has not been demonstrated how a rural cross section would further public, health,
safety, and welfare. Given the size of the lots and that no engineering has been done to
support the concept plan, curb and gutter may be needed for stormwater reasons and
the required Subdivision Ordinance streetscape is important in implementing the
Neighborhood Model.
Recommendation:
Staff does not recommend approval of this waiver.
Sidewalk & Planting Strips Waiver
Sections14-422 A, B & C of the Subdivision Ordinance set forth the requirements and
design standards for sidewalks and planting strips, which specify that a 5' concrete
sidewalk and 6' planting strip should be provided on both sides of a street, with the
planting strip between the curb and sidewalk. (Attachment F) Street trees and sidewalks
provide a greater sense of enclosure and this is important in creating a Neighborhood
ZMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision 10
Planning Commission 10/9/07 Board of Supervisors 12/12/07
Model form of development. The applicant has proposed conventional lots on a rural
section with deeper setbacks than what staff typically sees for a rezoning in the
development areas, staff believes sidewalks and planting strips should be provided.
Because the applicant has not provided a workable alternative street section design and
the curb and gutter waiver is not recommended, staff has not done a detailed analysis of
this waiver. The ordinance section is provided as Attachment F for the Commission's
reference.
Recommendation:
Staff does not recommend this waiver.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this rezoning and special use
permits requested:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the Crozet Master Plan recommendations for
density.
2. The applicant has provided affordable housing.
Staff has identified factors unfavorable to this request:
1. Cash proffers do not meet Board expectations.
2. The applicant has not made proffer commitments to features of the concept plan
that has been provided. However, the maximum number of residential units and
provision of open space is proffered.
3. Affordable housing proffers must be clear on the number of affordable units
proffered and use standard language. The proffer to provide accessory
apartments is unclear, does not define the type of units to be provided, and does
not specify mechanisms for the provision of the proposed units.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
ZMA 2007-00
Staff can only recommend approval of this rezoning if the Board's cash proffer
expectations are met, if commitments are made to features of the application
plan, and affordable housing proffers are revised. With these changes, staff
could recommend approval of the rezoning; however, staff cannot recommend
approval of the street waivers. The Commission is asked to take public
comment and the applicant requested a public hearing on this project. The
applicant may ask that this meeting be treated as a work session and then
request a deferral until outstanding issues can be resolved. If the applicant
requests action, staff must recommend denial until outstanding issues can be
resolved.
Curb & Gutter and Sidewalks & Planting Strips Waivers
Staff does not recommend approval of these waivers.
