In addition to the minor changes just listed, the Commission reached a consensus
to rewrite the cluster development provisions as follows (Pages 5-6):
2.2 CLUSTER DEVEI:OPMENT
2.2.1 DENSITY
Unless precluded by other applicable regulations, the maximum number of lots
within a cluster development shall be determined by multiplying the number
of acres in the parcel by the permitted density within the applicable
zoning district=
2.2.2 OPEN SPACE: INTENT
Open space, as required in cluster development, may serve such varied uses
as active/passive recreation; protection of areas sensitive to development;
buffering between dissimilar uses; and preservation of agricultural activity.
Open space intended to be developed for active recreational use shall be
subject to review and approval of the Planning Commission. In review, the
Commission shall consider appropriateness of such area for the proposed
uses in terms of location and physical characteristics such as size, shape,
and topography.
2.2.3 MINIMUM OPEN SPACE REQUIRED
Except as otherwise provided in the AF, RR, and PRD districts, a minimum of
25% of the cluster development must be in open space exclusive of lots,
roads, and parking areas.
2.2.4 USES PERMITTED IN OPEN SPACE
Areas or spaces within a cluster development designated as open space shall
not be d.evelped or used except as follows, subject to the regulations of
the zoning district in which the development is located:
-agriculture, forestry, and fisheries;
-game preserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and the like;
-non-commercial recreational structures and uses;
-public utilities.
2.2.5 MINIMUM NUMBER OF LOTS
Cluster developments shall consist of at least three (3) lots for
dwelling units, except that the Planning Commission may permit a lesser
number of such lots if they form a logical extension and/or addition to
an existing cluster development.
�u
Based upon the recommendations of Mr. James H. Gray, State Trans-
portation Planner for the Virginia Department of Aviation, the Commission
reached a consensus to make the following textual changes:
Section 3.0 DEFINITIONS:
Helicopter: A rotorcraft which, for its horizontal motion, depends principally on
engine driven rotors.
Helistop; Restricted Use Heliport: A heliport without such auxiliary facilities as
waiting room, hangar, parking, fueling, or maintenance facilities.
Heliport: An area of land or water or a structure used or intended to be used for
the take -off or landing of a helicopter.
4.11.2.2 Aerial Navigation. No building or other structure shall be located
in a manner or built to a height which constitutes a danger to aerial
navigation. In such case where the Planning Commission believes a danger
to navigation may result, such structure shall not be located or erected
without certification from the Federal Aviation Administration and the
Virginia Department of Aviation that such structure will not reasonably
constitute a danger to air traffic. No building or structure exceeding
150 feet in height above ground level (AGL) shall be located or erected
until certification for the same has been obtained from the Virginia
Department of Aviation.
4.11.3 HEIGHT LIMITATION - EXCEPTIONS
The following exceptions to height limitations for certain buildings
and structures shall be permitted; provided that no building or
structure shall be exempt from the requirements of 4.11.2.2.
5.1.1 Airpots, Heliports; Helistops
A. In review of a special use permit petition for an airport heliport,
the Board shall be mindful of the substantial public investment in
the Charlottesville -Albemarle Airport, and shall only approve
such petition upon a finding that:
(1) Equivalent or better service is not available at the
Charlottesville -Albemarle Airport;
(2) Operation of the proposed airport or heliport will in
no fashion interfere or compete with the physical operations
of the Charlottesville -Albemarle Airport.
B. No application shall be considered, unless it is accompanied by
five (5) copies of a plan, drawn to scale, showing the proposed
location of the airport; boundary lines; dimensions; names of
owners of abutting properties; proposed layout of runways, landing
strips or areas, taxi strips, aprons, roads, parking areas, hangars,
buildings, and other structures and facilities; the location and
height of all buildings, structures, trees, and overhead wires
falling within the airport approach zones and less than five -
hundred (500) feet horizontally and 1000 feet longitudinally
from the proposed runway; other pertinent data such as topography
/-7/
and grading plan, drainage, water and sewerage, etc. Copies
of the plan shall be forewarded to the Federal Aviation Administration
and the Virginia Department of Aviation for comment and recommendation
on the following:
(1) The area shall be sufficient to meet the Federal Aviation
Administration and Virginia Department of Aviation's requirements
for the class of airport proposed;
(2) There are no existing flight obstructions, such as towers,
chimneys, or other tall structures, or natural obstructions
outside the proposed airport which fall within the airport
imaginary surfaces or instrument approach zones to any of the
proposed runways or landstrips of the airport;
(3) There is sufficient distance between the end of each usable
landing strip and the airport boundary to satisfy the require-
ments above. In cases where air rights or easements have been
acquired from the owners of abutting properties in which the
approach zones may fall, satisfactory evidence thereof shall
be submitted with the application.
C. In addition to the foregoing the following requirements shall be met:
(1) No runway, heliport area shall be located nearer than 500 feet
horizontally or 1000 feet longitudinally to any residential
structure on any adjoining property. No hangar or aircraft storage
shall be located nearer than 500 feet to any residential structure
on an adjoining property. Within any agricultural or residential
district, commercial activities and private clubs located on the
premises, with a private airport, flight strip, or helipad, are
expressly prohibited.
(2) Any rooftop surface or touchdown pad which will be utilized as an
elevated heliport shall be designed and erected in a manner
sufficient to withstand the anticipated additional stress.
(3) All maintenance, repair and mechanical work except that of an
emergency nature, shall be performed in enclosed buildings.
(4) All facilities shall be located and designed so that operation
thereof will not seriously affect adjacent residential areas,
particularly with respect to noise levels.
(5) Except for elevated helistops, no area used by aircraft under its
own power shall be located within a distance of 500 feet of
any residential structure on any adjoining property. Elevated
helistops shall be located in accordance with the bulk
regulations of the zoning district in which located.
(6) All areas used by aircraft under its own power shall be provided
with a reasonably dustless surface.
30.2.3.1 PENETRATION PROHIBITED
No building, structure, or use shall be permitted which shall penetrate
the imaginary primary, conical, horizontal, transitional, visual
171�
approach, or instrument approach surface zones as delineated and/or
described on the Charlottesville/Albemarle Airport Obstruction
Chart, as amended. Penetration shall include but shall not be
limited to any use or activity which would cause the unreasonable
intrusion into any of the imaginary surface zones of light, glare,
smoke, particles, projectiles, radiation, or electrical interference.
In determination of potential penetration, the Zoning Administrator
shall consult with the Federal Aviation Agency State Department of
Aviation and the Charlottesville -Albemarle Airport Board.
There was no additional business, and the Commission adjourned at
5:50 p.m.
