Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore,at least two fees for public notice are required before a Special Use Permit may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. Applications reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals,however,only require one public hearing and therefore require just one fee for public notice. The total fee for public notice will be provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body. Staff estimates the total cost of legal advertisement and adjacent owner notification to be between$400 and$450 per hearing. This estimate reflects the average cost of public notice fees for Special Use Permit applications,but the cost of certain applications may be higher. ➢ Preparing and mailing or delivering up to fifty(50)notices $215+actual cost of first-class postage ➢ Preparing and mailing or delivering each notice after fifty(50) $1 08 for each additional notice+actual cost of first-class postage D.

The properties are owned by Charlottesville Realty, LF Jr. & Patricia E Wood, and Makika Properties LLC respectively. Castle Development Partners is working with the three property owners on their behalf for the proposed Master Plan and Special Use Permit Requests for the development. The property is currently zoned Highway Commercial and C-1 Commercial. Castle Development Partners is seeking a Special Use Permit request to allow R-15 residential development on the property and a second Special Use Permit request to allow a Hotel use on the property. In addition, Castle Development Partners is seeking to develop additional commercial and retail on the property in accordance with the current Highway Commercial zoning and C-1 Commercial zoning,and Castle Development Partners is requesting a Special Exception for Laboratories/Research and Development, Manufacturing/ Proceessing/Assmbly/ Fabrication and Recycling,and Storage/Warehousing/Distribution/Transportation over 4,000 SF. All of these Special Use Permits and requests will allow Castle Development Partners to master plan the property, meeting the overall character and intent of the County's Comprehensive Plan. The property is located along Rio Road East in Ablemarle County and includes a total of 11.25 acres. Narrative: Castle Development Partners is working with the (3) property owners on this project to develop the property with an overall master plan to better maximize the land use of the properties and achieve the County's vision for the area and the property. The property is an infill site within the development area, positioned between (2) shopping centers and multi-family residential developments. It would be difficult to achieve the County's vision for the development of this infill property if the properties were developed independently and not as part of an overall master plan development. The proposed development provides additional residential housing within the development area that is located within walking distance to many of the employment areas and along bus/transit lines allowing the residents access to employment centers and public transportation. In addition to the residential uses,the development provides commercial/retail uses at a location that central and accessible to the community, and a hotel use for the increased business and tourism needs in the County. Lastly, a portion of the site is being reserved for Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial uses, helping the County to provide land options for these types of businesses that are seeking business opportunities within the County. The overall master plan for the property offers a mixed use development where people can work, live and play all within a walkable area, and it provides uses and employment opportunities to the community that are accessible by public transportation. Under this master development plan,Castle Development Partners is requesting is a Special Use Permit to allow R-15 residential development on the property. The R-15 residential use is allowed under the Highway Commercial and C-1 Commercial zoning classifications with a SUP. The R-15 residential would be clustered on the property, as shown in the attached application plan. A second Special Use Permit is being requested to develop a portion of the C-1 commercial property as a hotel use,which is also allowed as a use in the C-1 zoning with a special use permit. The portion of the property at the intersection of Rio Road and Putt Putt Lane is planned for Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial uses as listed on the application plan. A Special Exception is included with this request to allow these uses to exceed 4,000 SF in size. The property would be development in accordance with the attached application plan. 1 Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The property, as shown on the Application Plan, is currently designated on the Comprehensive Plan for a combination of Urban Density Residential, Urban Mixed Use, and Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial uses. Within the Places29 Comprehensive Master Plan,guiding principles are given for the development of the property within this Northern Growth Area. The property includes a hybrid of these uses as the infill property is located where these varying types of uses come together and meet each other on this property, as shown in Exhibit 1 below.

Exhibit 2: Proposed Master Plan Uses r r TAr /.. tthz,z34-.A.:5; /' • r rrr „ , \ tt\\\ ,„: F. \N‘ Proposed Master Plan Acreages: LAND USE DISTRICTS Land Plans Office/R&D/Flex/Light Urban Neighborhood Industrial Density Service Center PROPOSED MASTER PLAN 1.5 Acres 4.50 Acres 5.25 Acres 3 These proposed uses are consistent with the proposed uses for the property as indicated under the Comprehensive plan. The overall location of the proposed uses vary slightly from the Comprehensive plan, but the proposed uses and acreages are equivalent. The Urban Density Residential has been positioned to better align with the existing Arden Place Apartments and provide an attractive streetscape frontage along Rio Road. Urban Mixed use—Neighborhood Center commercial and retail is proposed along Rio Road and Putt Putt Lane as shown on the master plan,with residential over a portion of the commercial uses along Rio Road. Also, along Rio Road frontage is the proposed hotel site, which is a Regional commercial use for the community within the Neighborhood Service Center. The additional Neighborhood and Community commercial retail area is proposed along Putt Putt Lane. As shown in the comprehensive plan,the proposed master plan contemplates the Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial use at the corner of Rio Road and Putt Putt Lane. The location is consistent with and connected to the other existing and proposed Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial uses in this area. Overall, the property, as shown on the Application plan, meets the intent of the Comprehensive plan in this location. Impacts on Public Facilities and Public Infrastructure: This project is not anticipated to have much effect on the existing public infrastructure. The development of the property as a mixed use development allows the opportunities for people to live and work within a walkable distance, and also provides entertainment options to the proposed and existing residential neighborhoods. The property is located within the jurisdictional area for County water and sewer service with water along Rio Road and Putt Putt Lane, and sewer from the existing Arden Apartments. A new access road will connect to Rio Road, providing(2) means of access and exit from the property and neighboring developments. With the recent improvements to the Rio Road and Route 29 intersection,the existing roadway infrastructure can accommodate any additional traffic from this development. Impacts on Environmental Features: There is a small stream on the existing property downstream of the existing stormwater management pond. This stream, along with the existing stormwater pond will remain. The existing stormwater management pond was designed and constructed with the Arden Apartment complex and was sized to handle the stormwater for the development and redevelopment of these properties. Any additional stormwater management requirements will be provided in accordance with County and DEQ regulations to capture, retain, and reduce stormwater run-off from the property. Along the eastern property line adjacent to Putt Putt lane,there are some managed slopes that have been identified and marked on the County GIS system. These slopes will be impacted, but only as permitted by the County ordinance and regulations. Compliance with the Neighborhood Model District Principles: The following is a summary of how the proposed Master plan for the property complies with the Neighborhood Model District Principles. 1. Pedestrian Orientation Sidewalks are proposed along the private streets through the development to allow pedestrian access through the property and connecting the existing and proposed residential developments to the existing shopping centers and proposed neighborhood services. In addition, the existing 10' multi-use pathway along the western property will remain. This also provides a pedestrian and bicycle connection through the property. 4 2. Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths Travelways designed for both the pedestrian and bicyclist,as well as vehicles will provide a neighborhood- friendly and sensitive atmosphere. Two private roadways are proposed through the development,which include sidewalks, street trees and crosswalks. In addition, the existing multi-use pedestrian trail across the property linking the commercial centers to the residential developments shall remain. These features combine to create a pedestrian network throughout the property where pedestrians are prioritized and protected. 3. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Network Two roadways are proposed through the property as shown on the Application plan, completing an irregular grid block pattern on the property. The proposed private streets shall be constructed to VDOT standards and have been designed to accommodate all modes of transportation through the property and allow connections to the adjacent properties. 4. Parks and Open Space The existing pedestrian multi-use pathway and the open space around the trailway will remain on the property. The additional area provided along this pathway corridor will enhance the pedestrian experience along this trail. In addition,there is an open space area around the stormwater management facility that will remain with some passive recreational amenities. 5. Neighborhood Centers The proposed commercial and retail areas on the property provide a neighborhood service center for the residential areas proposed on the property and existing adjacent to the property. The proposed commercial retail spaces create a neighborhood service center for the community. 6. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale The proposed buildings shall meet the building height requirements for the Highway commercial and Commercial C-1 zonings. The building envelopes on the master plan have been designed to provide a tighter spatial enclosures within the neighborhood service center and along Rio Road, creating a more vibrant pedestrian environment. 7. Relegated Parking The proposed building envelopes as shown in the master plan relegate the parking areas from the adjacent public streets and entrance corridor. 8. Mixture of Uses The proposed development with allow for a variety of non-residential uses along with residential units to create a neighborhood service center that not only will promote a variety and mixture of uses, it will embrace the blending of uses together through an emphasis on compatible architecture. The service center will offer a mixture of live and work opportunities along with entertainment options to the County and surrounding neighborhoods within a walkable distance. 9. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability The proposed special use permit for the project will allow a residential component to the site. The Urban density residential proposed on the project will provide a housing product for the work force in Charlottesville that is close to the employment areas and accessible to public transit. 5 10. Redevelopment The proposed master plan includes the redevelopment of the corner parcel at the intersection of Rio Road and Putt Putt Lane. The remaining portions of the property are currently undeveloped. 11. Site Planning that Respects the Terrain The property is an infill development site with very little natural streams and no preserved slopes. The majority of the property is relatively flat and ideal for development. Site grading and earthwork is minimal for this site. 12. Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas This property is an infill property located within the Albemarle County designated Growth Area. Proposed Proffers: Any proposed proffers for the project will follow the County guidelines, and shall be submitted on a separate document in accordance with the proffer regulations. Proposed Maps and Exhibits: Application plan—layout design of the mixture of uses, building envelopes,and parking areas for the property, along with the location of the stormwater management features for the property. The application plan also includes the location of existing natural and manmade physical conditions on the property. Conclusion: The property is an infill development that is located in an area that is currently served by public infrastructure and can fully accommodate the envisioned uses by the Comprehensive Plan. The mixture of commercial, residential,and Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial uses across the property help create a development that is consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan and Places29 Master Plan for the area, making it far much more beneficial to the County than the by-right development. 6
