High Street Charlottesville, VA 22902 kelsev(a),shims-eneineerine.com / 434-227-5140 RE: ZMA202100005 1805 Avon Street PRD; 2°" Submittal Dear Ms. Schlein: Staff has reviewed your second submittal for the zoning map amendment, ZMA202100005, 1805 Avon Street PRD. We have a number of questions and comments which we believe should be addressed before we can recommend favorably on your ZMA request. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues. Review comments are provided below, organized by Department, Division, or agency. Our comments are provided below: Planning — General Application Comments 1. Asa PRD, an improved level of amenities and creative design of the site should be provided in the development. Recreation requirements mandate a minimum of 200 square feet be provided per dwelling unit, up to 5% of the site area. With 85 units proposed, 7,900 sq. ft. of recreational space is required. Open space must be a minimum of 25% of the development. a. On sheet 8, the legend that is provided does not match what is shown on the concept plan. There are several discrepancies among the colors. Revise for clarity. b. On sheet 7, in the inset and the provided calculations, it appears that parts of the development like parking lot islands and planting strips along sidewalks/around buildings are included as a part of the approximately 0.9 acres of required open space. Such areas cannot be counted as open space in PRDs. (Please note, this requirement is different from "greenspace" in NMDs, where such elements can count.) Revise the plan to remove those areas of the proposed development that cannot count as open space. Staff does recognize, however, that final calculations for the 25% open space will be determined at the site planning stage if this ZMA is approved by the Board. 2. Interparcel connections are an important factor in promoting an interconnected street network and multi -modal transportation opportunities. Such connections are recommended for the parcels to the south and northwest of the two subject parcels. 3. Student generation numbers and school capacity have been closely considered by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors recently. Mountain View Elementary School and Monticello High School are both currently over capacity, and this development would generate additional students for these schools. 4. In the Neighborhood Center section of the Neighborhood Model Principles, it is recommended that information also be included about how a neighborhood center is being provided for this development. It appears that the recreational spaces are proposed to act as a center area for this development. Comprehensive Plan Additional comments on how your proposal relates to the Comprehensive Plan and the Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods (SAWUN) Plan are provided below. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and associated master plan are provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report. The SAWUN Master Plan identifies Tax Map Parcels (TMPs) 90-35D and 90-35H as Urban Density Residential land use The UDR classification calls for a mix of residential uses as the primary use pattern, with limited neighborhood -scale commercial and institutional uses permitted as secondary uses. The requested maximum number of units and density of the site falls within the range recommended by the master plan, which is 6-34 units per acre. The height of buildings is recommended to be 1-3 stories. It appears the proposed height of the buildings, up to a maximum of three stories, meets the height recommendations of the master plan. Plannin¢ - Transportation The following comments regarding this proposal have been provided by Daniel Butch, Transportation Senior Planner, dbutch@albemarle.org: For multi -modal transportation options, staff finds a sidewalk on Avon St Ext suitable as it fits current pedestrian infrastructure already being developed on Avon St Ext. The right-of-way reservation for a multi -use path/shared-use path is appreciated and should provide for a 10 foot path. Will the emergency access maintain bicycle/pedestrian accessibility? What efforts are being committed to providing an inter -parcel vehicular connection even though existing connections do not necessarily favor that?
