TMP 05600-00-00-067BO has been the site of a veterinary hospital serving Western Albemarle
County in continuous operation since 1982 as the Crozet Veterinary Care Center. After
practicing for 40 years, the parcel owner, Dr Martin Schulman leases the hospital building to the
Old Dominion Animal Hospital -Crozet, a sister hospital to Old Dominion Animal Hospital on
Preston Avenue in Charlottesville also in operation since 1982.
TMP 05600-00-00-074AO is the adjacent parcel to the east of TMP 05600-00-00-067B0. The
14.26-acre parcel has an existing single-family dwelling unit.
Dr. Schulman has decided that combining the two parcels and developing them into a mixed -
use neighborhood while keeping the veterinary care center as a commercial component would
be beneficial to the Crozet Community.
The purpose of this ZMA application is to combine the two parcels into one 23.68-Acre parcel
and rezone it to NMD - Neighborhood Model. The development will include townhomes, single
family homes, and the existing Crozet Veterinary Care Center.
The ZMA satisfies the intent of Chapter 18.
This ZMA will also satisfy the following characteristics listed in Section 20A.1
• Pedestrian Orientation:
• Neighborhood friendly streets:
• Street connection to adjacent parcel:
• Parks and open space as amenities:
• Buildings and spaces of human scale;
• Mixture of uses and types;
• Mixture of housing types;
• Redevelopment of Crozet Veterinary Care Center:
• Site Planning that respects terrain;
• Clear boundaries with the rural areas;
• Relegated parking: The care center and parking will be screened from Three Notch'd
Road by the townhomes. The parking for the townhomes will be primarily driveways
with garages on internal public roads. Five of the townhouses will have a parking lot
with 10 parking spaces. Townhouses along Three Notch's Road will front that road.
This ZMA will not satisfy the following characteristics listed in Section 20A.1:
• Neighborhood Centers.
PROJECT'S CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Crozet Master Plan Land Use shows a 4.52-acre portion of these parcels is designated as
Urban Density Residential (UDR), a 10.23-acre portion of these parcels is designated as
Neighborhood Density Residential (NDR), a 5.63-acre portion of these parcels is designated as

The 10.23 Acres of NDR does not include any Greenspace, or Flood Hazard Overlay that lies
outside of Greenspace. It does include 0.88 Acres of Preserved Steep Slopes that lie outside of
Greenspace. Net Area =10.23 Acres — 0.88 Acres = 9.35 Acres
NDR Net Density Range: (3 — 6 Units/Acre) * 9.35 Acres = 28 Units (min) to 56 Units (max)
Combined Net Unit Range: 55 Units (min) to 110 Units (max)
The proposed 110 units is within the Combined Net Unit Range.

PROJECT'S IMPACTS ON PUBLIC FACILITIES AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
TMP 05600-00-00-067BO & TMP 05600-00-00-074AO are not included in the ACSA jurisdictional
area. An application to add them to the ACSA jurisdictional area was submitted at the same
time as this ZMA application.
TMP 05600-00-00-067AO that is adjacent to the northern property line of this parcel, and all of
the parcels along the south side of Three Notch'd Road are currently included in the ACSA
jurisdictional area. There is an existing 16" RWSA water mains along Three Notch'd Road and
an Existing 8" ACSA water main along Parkview Drive. There is an existing private sanitary
sewer pump station on TMP 05600-00-00-67AO and a private force main to an existing ACSA
manhole located on TMP 05600-00-00-06700.
The existing septic tanks located on TMP 05600-00-00-067BO and TMP 05600-00-00-074AO will
be removed as part of this development.
The Veterinary Care Center is currently connected to the ACSA water supply.
This development will connect to the existing RWSA water main for water service.
Since a majority of TMP 05600-00-00-067BO and TMP 05600-00-00-074AO are below the
elevation of Three Notch'd Road a private sewer pump station and force main will have be
designed and installed to provide sanitary service for this development. The private force main
will connect to the existing pump station located on TMP 05600-00-00-67A0. Enclosed is a copy
of the Agreement, dated June 25, 2015, between Sheeflee, LLC and Martin Schulman that
allows for the proposed connection to the existing pump station.
A request for approval of a Central Sewerage System will be submitted to the Clerk for the
Board of Supervisors for review and approval.
In addition, a private gravity sewer system will also be designed and installed within this
development to convey the wastewater from the homes and care center to the pump station.
The addition of 110 homes and the veterinary care center to the ACSA system will have minimal
impact on the public infrastructure.
PROJECT'S IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES
The primary environmental feature affected by this development will be Parrot Branch along
the northern property line and a tributary to Parrot Branch that crosses the parcel. There is a
100-foot Water Protection Ordinance buffer along these streams.
The areas within these buffers will be designated as Green Space and will not be impacted by
this development.
