CHARACTER OF THE AREA
Southwood Mobile Home Park is located approximately Y2 of a mile west of the Covenant School, and approximately 2
miles southwest of 5" Street Station. The existing adjacent mobile home park consists of 341 mostly substandard mobile
homes that house more than 1,500 residents. The area proposed for rezoning was formerly part of the Biscuit Run State
Park land and consists of three parcels located to the east of Old Lynchburg Road and southwest of the existing
Southwood community. The parcels are heavily wooded. The edges of Parcel 090A1-00-00-001EO contain preserved and
managed slopes, and partially lie within the 100 Year Floodplain and Stream Buffer. Attachment 1 shows the location of
the mobile home park and area proposed for rezoning.
BACKGROUND
A full list of milestones is provided in Attachment 4.
Habitat for Humanity's process for the development and design of Phase 1 for Southwood consisted of a resident -led,
resident -driven design. Habitat held a number of workshops with the Southwood Planning Committee which consists of
existing residents of Southwood. The proposed Code of Development and Application Plan are a result of those
workshops and input from the community and its residents.
August 7, 2018 Joint PC/BOS Worksession
The Planning Commission (PC) and Board of Supervisors (BOS) had the following recommendations: provide more
information on Block B and ensure that the Code of Development regulations create spaces of human scale that also
relate to the context of adjacent existing neighborhoods; affordable housing should be provided on site o, if not on site,
preferably within the County; the percentage of affordable housing will continue to be addressed with this application
ZMA201800003, Southwood
Planning Commission Public Hearing, July 23, 2019
and possible supplementary documents; and a high-level concept plan should be provided to show how the rezoning
and existing Southwood neighborhood relate to each other.
June 4, 2019 PC Worksession
The Planning Commission (PC) discussed and provided feedback for the questions below. A summary of the questions,
discussion, and feedback is provided in Attachment 5.
1. What should be the maximum building height allowed per the Code of Development?
2. Should Old Lynchburg Road be a Framework Street?
3. Is the proposed recreation substitution request for Block B acceptable? Are sufficient recreational facilities being
provided?
4. Within the Code of Development and Application Plan that have been submitted, are there aspects that require
additional detail, revisions, or clarification?
June 19, 2019 Board of Supervisors meeting
The Board of Supervisors approved a performance agreement with Habitat for Humanity for Phase 1 of Southwood to
support up to 155 affordable dwelling units (Attachment 6).
SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
Since the Planning Commission (PC) work session on June 4`h(work session), the applicant has revised the application
plan and code of development (COD). The COD has been re -formatted and re -organized, and Block A and B have been
removed. Character Areas from the previous COD are now Blocks within the new COD. Applicant response to the
feedback received at the work session is provided in Attachment 3. Below are the questions with staff comments on the
applicant's resubmittal to address the questions in italics.
1. What should be the maximum building height allowed per the Code of Development?
See detailed analysis provided in the Comprehensive Plan section of this report.
2. Should Old Lynchburg Road be a Framework Street?
The applicant has revised the COD on Page 13 to include Old Lynchburg Rd. for the Setback and Building
Regulations.
3. Is the proposed recreation substitution request for Block B acceptable? Are sufficient recreational facilities being
provided?
The applicant has revised the COD on Pages 15-16 to include recreational amenities and space by block. The total
of these spaces meets the standards within the Zoning Ordinance for size. Exact recreational amenities to be
decided at site plan stage by Southwood residents. Additional analysis and information is provided in the
Neighborhood Model section of this report.
4. Within the Code of Development and Application Plan that have been submitted, are there aspects that require
additional detail, revisions, or clarification?
See applicant's response letter in Attachment 3.
The applicant is proposing to rezone three parcels (approximately 33.96 acres) as part of Phase 1: two parcels are
currently zoned R-2 Residential (2-3 units/acre) and one parcel is zoned Neighborhood Model District (NMD up to 34
units/acre) (Attachments 2 and 10). The proposed district is a unified NMD for all three parcels (up to 34 units/acre). A
maximum of 450 residential units and up to 50,000 square feet of non-residential is proposed. The majority of the non-
residential will be located along Old Lynchburg Road and Hickory Street. Habitat has committed to its residents with this
proposal to provide a non -displacement strategy, and this first phase will allow current residents of Southwood to move
into safe, permanent, affordable housing.
ZMA201800003, Southwood
Planning Commission Public Hearing, July 23, 2019

Access to Phase 1 will be from Hickory Street. A new road will be located off of Hickory Street to provide access to Blocks
1-11. A future road connection to the existing Southwood community is provided along Blocks 5 and 7. This full
connection will be made with a future rezoning and development of future phases.
Green space and amenities totaling 42,300 square feet has been provided throughout Phase 1. The amenities consist of
trails, recreational amenities, pedestrian connections, and a neighborhood soccer facility. Pages 15 and 16 of the Code
of Development (Attachment 2) contains detailed information, including definitions, per block regarding the proposed
amenities for the development.
Page 7 of the Code of Development (COD) and the Application Plan show the proposed layout and blocks of the
development. Page 4 of the Code of Development shows the Concept Plan. The Application Plan identifies the different
blocks in the development which are described on page 6 of the COD, descriptions and a Table on Pages 8-12 that state
the proposed uses for each block.
The specific blocks, per the Code of Development, are described as follows:
Blocks 1 and 2: These blocks will designate the greenspace along the perimeter of the development. They contain the
environmental features such as floodplain, stream buffer, and preserved slopes.
Blocks 3 through 12: These blocks will contain primarily residential uses. Non-residential uses are permitted in all blocks.
The intensity of density and use transitions from Block 12 (most intense) to Blocks 3-4 (least intense). Non-residential
uses in blocks 3-5 are restricted to a maximum building footprint of 3,000 square feet. Blocks 6-9 non-residential use is
restricted to a maximum building footprint of 5,000 square feet. Blocks 10-12 non-residential is restricted to a maximum
building footprint of 20,000 square feet. Overall maximum total square feet of non-residential is 50,000 square feet.
Residential Village- Block 5: Block 5 is intended to provide the majority of rehousing for existing Southwood residents. It
will provide a mixture of housing types and allow for smaller residential groupings on public or private amenities or
streets.
Neighborhood Center Special Area- Block 12: Within Block 12 there is an area designated to provide the most intense
and highest density uses. This area is located along Hickory Street, and is 115 feet from both sides of the Hickory Street
right of way.
This request includes amending a portion of ZMA200500017 Biscuit Run included on TMP 90A1-1E, which is zoned NMD,
to remove the proffers from the parcel. In March 2017, Habitat acquired the 20 acre 'exchange parcel' (TMP 90A1-1E)
from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The zoning and proffers on this parcel are still and place,
and the applicant is requesting this parcel be removed from the proffers associated with ZMA2005-017.
COMMUNITY MEETING
The required community meeting was held on March 151h, 2018, at Southwood during the regularly scheduled 5"/Avon
CAC meeting. The applicant has also met with residents of Montgomery Ridge subdivision. The concerns that were
raised at the meeting included: density, types of units, definition of affordable/percentage of affordable housing,
recreation facilities, trees along Old Lynchburg Road, traffic, private developers vs Habitat built, rehousing strategy, and
connections to Biscuit Run. The analysis that addresses the concerns raised is included in the 'Comprehensive Plan',
'Neighborhood Model' and 'Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties' sections in this Staff Report.
ZMA201800003, Southwood
Planning Commission Public Hearing, July 23, 2019
Southern and Western Neighborhoods Master Plan (MP)
The MP lists Southwood as a Priority Area, and the Land Use Plan designates these parcels as Urban Density Residential
with a Center, and Parks and Green Systems. The descriptions of these land use designations and insets of the Land Use
Map, Parks and Green Systems, and the Center designation are below.
Urban Density Residential This designation represents residential areas with supporting uses and non-residential uses.
Density ranges from at a density of 6.01-34 dwellings per acre. Building height is recommended at 1-3 stories, additional
stories where appropriate. Primary uses include residential uses of all housing types. Places of worship, public and
private schools, early childhood education centers (day care centers and pre-schools), public uses, and public
institutional uses. Secondary uses include neighborhood serving retail/commercial areas.
Land Use Map
Parks and Green System This designation represents areas for parks, recreation, environmental preservation, and areas
otherwise not intended for development. Land with this designation cannot be used to calculate available density for a
parcel of land. Primary uses include parks, playgrounds, play fields, greenways, equipment, trails, paths, recreation
equipment and facilities, plazas, outdoor sitting areas, and natural areas. Also, preservation of stream buffers,
floodplains, known wetlands, and slopes of greater than 25% adjacent to rivers and streams. Property may be owned
publicly or privately. Secondary uses include public and private outdoor art, monuments, and non -advertising signage.

Parks and Green Systems Map
Center Designation
9. The Southwood (Figure 19) Center contains the existing
Southwood lAobile Home Park which contains
approximately 1500 residents, 342 mobile homes of
various ages and states of repair, a Boys and Girls Club
facility, and many children. It is recommended for Urban
Density Residential development.
Redevelopment of the Southwood Mobile Home Park
should be as a mixed -income, mixed use community. A
mixture of housing types for different income levels is
expected. A retail and/or services area should be
provided for the neighborhood. The proposed Southern
Connector road
project is also a
part of the planned future development. At this time,
Habitat for Humanity is planning for the redevelopment
of the mobile home park as a mixed -income, mixed -use
community. During the planning stage, opportunities may
exist for the County to partner with Habitat for Humanity
to help request grant money, significantly improve and
expand the regional inventory of affordable housing, tie
into the transportation network throughout the area, and
if Habitat for Humanity is able to exchange land owned
by the State for Biscuit Run State Park, obtain land to
add to the County inventory of playing fields.

Southwood Mobile Home Park
Staff Analysis:
Staff has reviewed the COD and Application Plan against the recommendations within the MP and Comprehensive Plan
and found it be consistent with those recommendations. The only aspect that needs further analysis is regarding
building height. As stated previously, the MP designates this area as a Center. The building height proposed for the most
intense blocks 10-12, which contain the Neighborhood Center Special Area, are above the 1-3 story recommendation in
the MP. However, the MP also states that additional stories could be considered where appropriate.
The area of most concern regarding building height is at the corner of Hickory Street and Old Lynchburg Road, and was
an issue raised at the June 4th work session. Since the work session, the applicant has revised the COD to propose the
following: a maximum of 4 stories or 45 feet in Blocks 10-12, or 50 feet in the Neighborhood Center Special Area.
At the work session, feedback was given that since Southwood is at the edge of the development area, the intensity of
development should be lower in this location. Related, feedback was also given that consideration should be given to
retain the vegetation/trees in this area.
Strategy 2f, within the Development Areas Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, provides guidance for Neighborhood
Centers and the intensity of development for the County's Master Plan areas (see below). It states that when centers are
areas of mixed use, such as what is proposed and recommended by the MP for Southwood, that they help provide a
form that allows for a continuum of uses, from least intensive to most intensive. This continuum starts at the center
(most intensive) and radiates outward from there. This strategy also states that centers should be visually discernible to
help create and facilitate a sense of arrival, and that new centers should be created with the MP recommendations. As
stated previously, the MP recommends that Southwood be developed as a mixed income, mixed use community to
include a mixture of housing types, and a retail and/or services area should be provided for the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Centers
Strategy 2f: Continue to promote centers as focal points for neighborhoods and places for civic
engagement.
Neighborhood centers are focal points or places in a neighborhood or area where people congregate.
A center may be a school or park, location of a major employer or a shopping area. Like the
Charlottesville downtown mall, centers are destinations. They are very important in creating the identity
of an area and can be the heart of a neighborhood. Identifying existing centers and places for new
centers is a major component of developing a Master Plan. As seen in Figure 7, they are intended to
be located within a comfortable walkable distance (approximately i/a mile) from homes. This distance
can be increased up to 'h mile if a center contains a transit
stop.
when centers are employment hubs or areas of mixed use,
they help provide a form that allows for a continuum of uses,
from least intensive to most intensive. In Figure 7, the most
intensive center would be found in Area 5.

Development is least
intensive in Area I
and most intensive in
Area 5- The height
of buildings gradu-
ally increases from
Area 3 to Area 5,
.vhich has the tallest
buildings.
New centers should be created in accordance with Master Plan recommendations. Existing centers
should be recognized and, in some cases, enhanced. Public investment may be needed to create a
center, such as a new public park in or near an existing neighborhood. New centers should be created
in accordance with Master Plans. As destinations, centers should be visually discernible to help create
and facilitate a sense of arrival.
A balloon test was conducted on June 18, 2019 based upon the request from the work session with the Planning
Commission. Two balloons were flown at 50 feet to make the tallest possible building height at the location. County staff
and officials, as well as the surrounding community were notified of the date and time of the balloon test.
Regarding the existing vegetation in this location, recommendations regarding Cultural and Scenic Resource Protection,
including buffers, is given in the MP on pages 53-54. A buffer is not shown on the Parks and Green Systems map in the
MP. Page 54 of the MP provides guidance regarding buffers near Southwood, it states: "Provide a vegetative buffer
along 5" Street/Old Lynchburg Road south from the southern most edge of the Southwood Mobile Home Park property
to the southern Development Area boundary on both sides of the street."
Staff has reviewed the revised COD and building height in relation to the surrounding area, and based upon the fact that
the blocks that are above the recommended height within the MP are within the Center designation or are providing a
transition based upon the guidance from the Comprehensive Plan regarding intensity of uses from Centers, and the
guidance within the MP forthis area regarding buffers, staff supports the additional height within Blocks 10-12 and the
Neighborhood Center Special Area.
The Neighborhood Model
Staff has reviewed the proposal against the Neighborhood Model Principles and found that it is consistent with the
majority of the principles. Concern has been raised by staff, PC, and BOS during work sessions regarding the adequacy of
the type and amount of recreational amenities, which relates to the "Parks, Recreation Amenities, and Open Space"
principle. Comment on how the concern was addressed by the applicant is below. The detailed Neighborhood Model
Analysis for all of the principles can be found in Attachment 7.
ZMA201800003, Southwood
Planning Commission Public Hearing, July 23, 2019
On pages 15-16 of the COD, Green Space and Amenities and definitions of the amenities are provided. Blocks 1 and 2 are
dedicated to green space. These blocks include protected and preserved environmental features, including preserved
slopes, stream buffer, and floodplain. There will be a trail network provided through this Blocks, creating connectivity
through the development and with a possible future connection to Biscuit Run Park. This trail will be located within X
mile of all residential units in this Phase.
Blocks 5-11 require six (6) pedestrian connections from the Framework Streets to the trail network. A total of 8,200
square feet of recreational amenities distributed within the Blocks, with 4,900 square feet in Blocks 5-8 and 3,300
square feet in Blocks 9-11. The type and location of recreational amenities will be provided during site plan stage and
will be determined by Southwood residents.
Block 12 includes a 6,500 square foot active use recreational amenity. This amenity must include a soccer facility.
Existing residents identified the existing soccer field in Southwood as an important feature.
Staff has found that the revised proposed amenities meets the requirements for area per the ordinance. Substitution of
the types active recreation required by the zoning ordinance will be reviewed during the site plan stage, based upon
input from the Southwood residents. This can be reviewed and approved administratively by the Planning Director per
the zoning ordinance.
Affordable Housing
The COD provides for a minimum of 15% affordable housing units. As stated in the Housing Mixture Plan (Attachment 8),
in combination with market rate dwelling units, affordable units provided in Phase 1 of Southwood redevelopment will
be a mixture of owned and rented dwellings with tiers of affordability, ensuring families across the economic spectrum
will have sustainable housing opportunity. Affordable opportunities will be available to families with incomes between
0%and 80%of the area median income established by HUD, adjusted by family size.
This proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendation that a minimum of 15% of all units developed
under rezoning and special use permits be affordable units and the methods of calculating affordability are consistent
with the County's current affordable housing policy.
In addition, the Board of Supervisors approved a performance agreement for requirements above the 15% for the
rezoning. Stacy Pethia, the Housing Principal Planner, as reviewed the housing mixture plan, AMI data, and COD
language for the 15% affordable housing and found it to be acceptable. She is also working with Habitat to develop a
resident relocation plan, consistent with the Community Development Block Grant requirements, to assist any
Southwood residents who may be impacted by infrastructure work in Phase 1 of the project.
ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
Relationship between the application and the intent and purposes of the requested zoning district:
The purpose and intent of the Neighborhood Model District (NMD) zoning district is to:
• Provide for compact, mixed -use developments
• Integrate diversified uses within close proximity to each other within the development areas identified in the
Comprehensive Plan
• Incorporate principles of traditional neighborhood development, such as pedestrian orientation and a mixture of
uses
The NMD is intended to be a flexible zoning district to allow development consistent with the goals of the Future Land
Use Plans in the Master Plans and the Neighborhood Model Principles. The form and content of this proposal is
ZMA201800003, Southwood
Planning Commission Public Hearing, July 23, 2019
10
consistent with the intent of the NMD. A variety of housing types and non-residential uses provide an appropriately -
scaled mixture of uses and residential units.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services:
Streets:
A traffic impact analysis was provided by the applicant (Attachment 9). Kevin McDermott, Principal Planner for
Transportation for the County has reviewed the proposal and associated traffic impact statement and has the following
comments:
• The TIA identifies existing failing movements at the intersections of Old Lynchburg Rd/5`h St Extended/County
Office Building, 5th St Extended/Stagecoach Rd/Apartment Complex, 5" St Extended/EB 1-64 ramp, and 5" St
Extended/WB 1-64 ramp. Delay at these intersections continues to worsen in the future no -build scenario
including worsening conditions at Old Lynchburg Rd/Sunset Ave.
• Future build conditions differ from no -build in the following manner:
o Old Lynchburg Rd/Sunset Ave fails for some movements in both AM and PM Peak hours
o Old Lynchburg Rd/5th St Extended/County Office Building have additional failing movements and/or
movements that become wholly inoperable during the peak hours. However, some of these were
essentially inoperable in the no -build scenario.
o Sth St Extended/EB 1-64 ramp have additional failing movements and/or movements that become
wholly inoperable during the peak hours. However, some of these were essentially inoperable in the no -
build scenario
• As stated in the TIA, many of these intersections would fail, some seriously, with or without the proposed Phase
1 development of Southwood. However, Phase 1 is expected to add 3,763 vehicle trips/day and 223 and 336 in
the AM and PM peak hours respectively. This is a significant increase in vehicles on these roads that are already
displaying serious problems.
The conclusion in the TIA states that the development of Southwood is anticipated to have minimal to no impact on the
study intersections when compared to background traffic conditions. While true that many of the intersections are
failing in the future no -build, the cue lengths and delays do increase, at times significantly, under the build conditions. It
should be noted that many of the movements will have already become inoperable in the future no -build so from this
perspective the additional traffic will not have any impact.
Transportation projects that address many of these issues have already been identified as high priorities in the 2019
Albemarle County Transportation Priorities. The worst intersection in both the build and no -build scenarios is the Old
Lynchburg Rd/5th St Extended/County Office Building intersection. This intersection is already ranked at #7 on the
Priority List and is recommended for improvements in the near future. However, funding for this project has not yet
been identified.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has begun a corridor study under the STARS program to evaluate the corridor
in its entirety in order to develop potential long- and short-term improvements that will address the identified safety
and operational issues. The results of this study will be specific projects to seek funding for and applicable funding
programs but once again, no funding will be made available through the study.
In conclusion, Phase 1 of Southwood as proposed would increase daily vehicle trips significantly on a corridor that is
already experiencing a high level of peak hour congestion. This increase results in worsening operations at intersections
with existing poor levels of service. However, these issues will need to be addressed with or without the Southwood
development and ongoing planning to address the most serious operational issues in the corridor is occurring. Funding
will be necessary in the near term to construct recommended improvements.

Schools:
Students living in the Southwood community attend/will attend Cale Elementary, Burley Middle School, and Monticello
High School. Rosalyn Schmidt, along with the recent draft report (June 26`h) from the Long Range Planning Advisory
Committee, from Albemarle County Public Schools have provided the following information for the application:
Based on average yield rates, anticipate 450 residential units to yield between 50 -70 elementary students, however
depending on those residents that will possibly relocate from the existing mobile homes, it may be less. The Southwood
community currently has about 200 elementary students. Cale Elementary does not have any additional capacity, next
year it will likely operate with four trailers on site. The Long Range Planning Advisory Committee report for schools
requested in the FYI 21/22 CIP funds for expansion for an additional 8,800 sq ft at Cale that would remove the need for
the trailers for the current school population and provide an expansion for the cafeteria and construct a music, art, and
classroom addition. However, it also states that due to its already large size, as well as limited space to expand on the
lot, it is not recommended that the school be enlarged to meet the long range needs. It recommends further study to
develop a long-term solution for anticipated growth in the area. There is adequate capacity at Burley Middle School and
Monticello High School and increased enrollment would benefit both schools.
Fire and Rescue:
Currently the Southwood community utilizes a larger percentage of County services than any other single development
in Albemarle County. The redevelopment, and eventual removal of the mobile homes, is anticipated to reduce the
amount of County calls for service including Fire/Rescue, Police, and Social Services. Fire and Rescue has not identified
any issues with adequate access and water availability at this time, which will also be reviewed at the site planning stage
and will have to meet Fire and Rescue requirements. Fire and Rescue has reviewed this rezoning application and has no
objection to the proposal.
Utilities:
This project is in the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) water and sewer service jurisdictional area. ACSA and
RWSA did not identify any capacity issues with this proposal and public water and sewer are available to the property.
ACSA has expressed no concerns about this rezoning application.
Anticipated impact on environmental, cultural and historic resources:
Blocks 1 and 2 include protected and preserved environmental features, including preserved slopes, stream buffer, and
floodplain. These blocks allow protection of these environmental resources. Stormwater facilities will be designed in
accordance with the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) regulations administered by the Virginia
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
There are no known cultural or historic resources on this site.
Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties:
The existing Southwood community, immediately adjacent to the property, will be the most impacted by this proposal.
Currently, the property has 341 mostly substandard mobile homes and more than 1,500 residents representing the
County's largest concentration of substandard housing and utilizing a larger percentage of County services than any
other single development in Albemarle County. The proposal allows for safe, affordable, permanent housing options to
be provided for those residents. This proposal will have a positive impact for those residents. Many of the residents have
been involved in the design of this community, and this will allow their vision to be realized. It will also impact those
residents of Southwood who have not been as active in the process for Phase 1, who have been waiting for action to
occur, to see house being built and how Habitat plans to keep their promise of non -displacement to those residents. The

redevelopment, and eventual removal of the mobile homes, is also anticipated to reduce the amount of County calls for
service including Fire/Rescue, Police, and Social Services.
Other nearby community concerns include the height of the buildings proposed at the intersection of Hickory and Old
Lynchburg Road, loss of tree/vegetation, school capacity, and traffic impacts. These concerns have been analyzed and
commented on in other portions of this report.
Public need and justification for the change:
The County's Comprehensive Plan supports development in the designated development areas that is consistent with
the use, density, and form recommended in the Plan. Based upon the analysis provided in this report, staff believes this
proposal is in conformity with use, density, and form recommended in the MP and Comprehensive Plan.
In addition to Southwood being listed as a priority within the MP, it is also one of the Board of Supervisor's strategic plan
goals for the County under Revitalize Aging Urban Neighborhoods. This first phase will allow existing residents of
Southwood to move out of substandard housing that the majority does not meet building code and have safe,
affordable housing options. Southwood is also within an Opportunity Zone, which allows for private investment to assist
with the redevelopment, and the promotion of Opportunities Zones is a strategy within the County's Economic
Development program, Project ENABLE.
PROFFERS
Proffer 1 provides for the removal of the proffers associated with ZMA2015-017 Biscuit Run that is part of TMP76-51A.
This is the area referred as the exchange parcel.
Proffer 2 provides future connections to Biscuit Run Park from Southwood's trail system, and provides the requirements
for the trail system within Southwood.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this rezoning request:
1. The rezoning request is consistent with the recommendations within the Southern and Western Neighborhoods
Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan.
2. The rezoning is within the Priority Area of the Southern and Western Neighborhoods Master Plan.
3. The rezoning is consistent with the majority of the applicable Neighborhood Model Principles.
4. The rezoning provides affordable housing that meets the housing policy within the Comprehensive Plan.
S. The rezoning request allows for future connections to Biscuit Run Park.
6. The rezoning supports the County Board of Supervisors Strategic Plan goal for Revitalizing Aging Urban
Neighborhoods and is within an Opportunity Zone.
Staff has identified the following factors which are unfavorable to this rezoning request:
1. The rezoning request will add additional students to Cale Elementary, which is overcapacity with no plans for
expansion.
2. The rezoning will add additional traffic to Old Lynchburg Rd/5`h Street Extended and impact existing
intersections along the corridor. Improvements have been identified as high priority, however, funding has not
been identified for those projects to date.
Based upon the favorable factors, staff recommends approval of ZMA2018-003 Southwood Phase 1.
Staff also recommends approval of the removal of proffers for ZMA2005-017 Biscuit Run for TMP 90A1-1E.

SOUTHWOOD PHASE I —A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT —CODE OF DEVELOPMENT JULY 8, 2019
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Redevelopment of Southwood is unique in a number of ways. The most obvious of which is the existing
trailer park community. Most development in the Charlottesville/ Albemarle area is greenfield in nature.
Traditionally, lands sold by resident landowners are developed for new communities. Southwood is a
100-acre residential trailer park serving the housing needs of roughly 1,500 residents of Albemarle
County; residents who are the foundation of the vibrant community and culture that exists today.
The overall development philosophy envisions a multi -phase approach, allowing groups of residents to
form multiple cohorts and to design their replacement housing and neighborhoods to their specific
needs and desires. The replacement housing site for the first of these cohorts, the early adopters, is
geographically located near the center of the first phase.
Southwood is located along Old Lynchburg Road, just south of the City of Charlottesville where the four
lane divided street transitions to a two lane rural road (see FIGURE 1: Vicinity Map). The property is within
Al,the County's designated development
area. It is surrounded by a mixture of
residential and institutional/public uses
and shares its southern propertyline with
. the Bicuit Run State Park (see FIGURE 2:
Regional Context Map).

Phase I is planned within the project's
undeveloped, thirty-four acres that
includes the land swap tract, part of the
original Biscuit Run NMD, and perimeter
areas that have hidden the trailer park for
years. Within this undeveloped acreage,
resident planners have provided for a
portion of the replacement housing and
increased the County's overall stock of
affordable housing. The Code of
Development establishes dwelling units
for a mixture of incomes, non-residential
uses, and provides the opportunity to
continue the informal services offered
within the community into occupations or
even small business ventures.

The resident planners chose to start on greenfield lands to provide a way for the community to redevelop
without requiring off site rehousing. Phase I provides for the rehousing needs of a minimum of seventy-
five families. As these families relocate into their new homes, redevelopment opportunities open up
within the existing trailer park, allowing development to "leapfrog" from one area to the next.
Keeping residents on site throughout the development, this plan allows the existing community to
continue to be the foundation of the redevelopment. key components of community, often lost through
temporary offsite housing, are preserved. Finally, mixed use, mixed income projects are more sustainable,
and the sale of out parcels and lots to builders is critical to fund the project's financial needs.
This document was prepared with the comprehensive participation and approval of the resident planners
and represents their approach towards the re -development of their own neighborhood.

2.0 APPLICATION PLAN & CODE OF DEVELOPMENT
The following sections of this document include the Application Plan and the Code of Development and
are designed to work together to detail the design approach and provide specific metrics for the various
design elements. The Code of Development also includes concept drawings, that while not proffered,
provide a visual representation of one of the possible outcomes provided through this Code. FIGURE 3:
Phase I Concept Plan is one such representation. The drawing shows conceptual locations for the larger
manmade elements such as the street network, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, buildings and parking,
and public areas.
Context Within Southwood
The Southwood Trailer Park is served by private water and sewer systems. Public water is provided
through the park's private water distribution system. Wastewater north of Hickory Street is collected
through a private sewer network and eventually conveyed westward to the public sewer system.
Wastewater south of Hickory is collected via smaller networks and ultimately treated in septic fields. Both
utility systems are aged and failing.
Similarly, the private road network is aged and in need of significant repairs and upgrades to meet current
VDOT standards. Probably the most impactful of these upgrades is increasing the width of the roads.

in an effort to address the failing septic systems, before continuing into the northern part of the project,
which are currently served by sewer.
The exhibit is included to provide a general sense as to how the resident planners see the remainder of
project develop. Their plan identifies conceptual densities, neighborhood centers, special areas and
specimen trees.

SOUTHWOOD PHASE I — A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT — CODE OF DEVELOPMENT JULY 8, 2019
3.0 BLOCK PLAN — GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The project consists of general areas that are characterized by land use as primarily green space,
residential, or mixed use. These areas may also include special designations, such as neighborhood
center and placemaking locations, that are specifically identified by the County's Comprehensive Plan or
through resident engagement.
Blocks
Land use, density regulations, and built form characteristics in Southwood Phase 1 are governed by
blocks. The layout of the blocks is established by the framework street network shown in FIGURE 7:
Application Plan. Applicable setbacks and building regulations with the blocks are measured from
framework streets and Old Lynchburg Road. Approximate acreages of each block are provided in the
supporting tables. The actual acreage of each block may deviate by 15%.
Green Space - Blocks 1 and 2
Blocks 1 and 2 designate green space along the perimeter of the development. While other blocks
contain additional green spaces, these two blocks are used to protect environmental features such as
floodplain, stream buffer, and preserved slopes, provide visual softening and screening and offer natural
amenity to the larger community.
Residential and Mixed Use — Blocks 3 through 12
These blocks are primarily designated for residential use. Although non-residential uses are allowed in
all blocks. Density and intensity of non-residential uses vary by block with a bias towards single family
units with occassional home occupation type uses on the southern and eastern edge of the project and
multi -family with commercial businesses in to Block 12. Block 12, designated for mixed use LIHTC
funding is being pursued to help further increase the County's stock of affordable housing.
Neighborhood Center Special Area
The County's Comprehensive Plan identifies a neighborhood center along the initial section of Hickory
Street. As such, the Code of Development focuses the most intense and highest density uses to this area.
The area is defined as the area between Old Lynchburg Road and Bittemut Lane. Through the use of
building heights, existing and new buffers, building setbacks, and top floor stepbacks, the built form
standards accommodate higher density and frame Hickory Street while ensuring pedestrian orientation
and guiding the focus away from Old Lynchburg Road and towards the first internal intersection.
Residential Villaae
Block 5 is the heart of the residential neighborhood and it is intended to host the majority of Southwood
rehousing and allow for the most flexibility in design and use per site conditions and the Code of
Development. This area will provide a mixture of housing types and allow for smaller residential
groupings on public or private amenities or streets. Alleys, greenways, and/or internal sidewalk
connections between residences and public amenities are permitted.
Neighborhood Places
Blocks 6, 7, 8, and 9 mediate intensity and provide connection. For example, the Block 8 area provides a
transition from higher density of Blocks 10 through 12 to the less intense residential uses in Blocks 3
through 5. These blocks provide a pedestrian connection from the street network to the perimeter trail
network. These blocks also provide an opportunity for a distinct identity, achieved either through use,
form, intensity, or as a place to gather and connect to the natural area and trail amenity. Within these
blocks are "place -making" reference points that suggest transition and connection between the
developed communty and the natural amenity and trail system while creating a varied pedestrian
experience and destination 'nodes' along the streets.

Trail Buffer Area
The Trail Buffer Area, also known as Block 2, is an undisturbed or replanted landscaped buffer area with
a trail and a minimum buffer width of 30', measured from the property line along Old Lynchburg Road.
This Trail Buffer Area may be disturbed for trail construction, maintenance, and support, and any
necessary grading, so long as the trail and plantings are replaced. The characteristics of the trail in this
area will be equal to or better than 'Class B-type 2 high maintenance pedestrian path' as described by
the Albemarle County Standard and Design Manual -Engineering (page 20, year 2019). The Trail Buffer
Area shall be planted with a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs to be approved by the
director of planning. See FIGURE 9: Conceptual Landscape Plan for illustrative concept of plantings in the
Block 2 Trail Buffer Area and for the relationship between the Block 2 Trail Buffer Area, proposed trail
setbacks, and buildings in the blocks along Old Lynchburg Road, Blocks 9 - 12.

Trail Amenities
An important amenity of this project is a pedestrian trail originating within the 8.0 acre green space area
of Block 1 and continuing within a 1.3 acre Trail Buffer Area of Block 2, which is to be used for passive
use recreational activity. The field -located trail amenity is to be within a quarter -mile of any residential
unit in the Phase 1 Southwood Development. The trail may connect to any existing or future network of
trails and sidewalks internal to the Southwood neighborhood and is intended to help complete and
connect to any potential future regional trails built by others in this southwestern area of the County.
The trail network is to be consistent with the County's design standards for a 'Class B type 1 primitive
trail' in Block 1 and 'Class B type 2' in Block 2. The general location of the trail is shown in FIGURE 8:
Conceptual Location of Amenity Areas and FIGURE 9: Conceptual Landscape Plan: Trail Buffer; however,
exact trail locations shall be determined by the Owner based on site conditions.
Pedestrian Connection Area
The Pedestrian Connection Area is a landscaped area with a minimum total width of 10' which must
include a pedestrian and cyclist path with a minimum travel width of 5'. The characteristics of this path
will be equal to or better than 'Class B-type 2 high maintenance pedestrian path' as described by the
Albemarle County Standard and Design Manual -Engineering (page 20, year 2019) These areas will
connect the Framework Street sidewalk network to either the Block 2 Trail Buffer Area or the primitive
trail within Block 1. Pedestrian Connection Areas may be interrupted by future roads, alleys, or parking
travelways and are not required to be continuous. The characteristics of the landscape plantings in the
Pedestrian Connection Area contain a mix of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Within each 100 foot length
of Pedestrian Connection Area, the planting mix will contain a minimum quantity and variable
locations/groupings of the following materials in addition to the trail surface: 4 flowering trees, 4 medium
shrubs. See TABLE 7: GREEN SPACE AND AMENITY AREAS BY BLOCK for required locations and quantity
and FIGURE 8: Conceptual Location of Amenity Areas for conceptual locations of the Pedestrian
Connection Areas.

treets and will serve more utilitarian purposes and these non -framework streets may be private and
secondary. All streets are intended to be public right of way where possible. The road sections on the
following page conform to Albemarle County and VDOT standards. The location and the design of
framework street sections are intended to provide the Southwood neighborhood with safe, pedestrian
and neighborhood -friendly streets.
Possible Waiver Streets
In addition to the framework street sections provided within this Code of Development, the
�, neighborhood is considering waivers to allow for road elements that deviate from current County and
i VDOT Standards. These modified road sections will continue to provide safe streets while integrating
specific resident values and site constraints. As shown in FIGURES 12 - 14, these possible road waiver
sections focus on two values: calming traffic to provide safe pedestrian experience and appropriately
' reducing the width of the right-of-way to allow more space for housing and amenities.
The street and pedestrian system for Phase 1 at Southwood is envisioned as the connective framework
between the main entrance from Old Lynchburg Road at Hickory and the residential development of
Southwood Phase 1. The main framework road system sets up the first phase of a neighborhood center
and 'main street' along road 1A from Blocks 9 through 11 as it travels north to south toward Blocks 3
through 8. The internal street system throughout Blocks 3 through 8 provides a safe neighborhood street
system with a variety of on street parking options, with block dimensions that reinforce the scale and
configuration of the community, maximizing connection and minimizing dead -ends and cut de sacs.
Associated with the street system is a system of sidewalks and pedestrian connection areas that separates
pedestrians from vehicles. This system provides safe and coherent connections between various areas
of the community and links the network of internal sidewalks to the trail system at specifically identified
pedestrian connection areas.
The scale and configuration of road types varies in relationship to the density of development. If
additional roads are designated at Site Planning, these additional roads will not be considered framework

SOUTHWOOD PHASE I — A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT — CODE OF DEVELOPMENT JULY 8, 2019
9.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA
As envisioned in the purpose and intent of the Neighborhood Model District set forth in Chapter 18,
section 20.A.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Plan of Development for Southwood has been designed to
further the following principles:
Pedestrian orientation This plan envisions sidewalks on all framework street as well as a 3,200 foot trail
running from the entrance along Old Lynchburg Road through Block 2 to the 8.0 acre amenity area of
Block 1, providing pedestrians with varied and secure options for mobility through all areas of Phase I.
Because of this redundant system, there may be locations where it would be appropriate to have sidewalk
present on only one side of any framework street.
Melghborhood friendly streets and paths Streets will be designed with traffic -calming techniques that
will result in slow -moving traffic and minimized road widths to the extent allowed. Building setbacks
appropriate to building scale will create a built form that addresses the street. The proposed path through
the natural areas will increase the community's ability to access existing natural resources.
Interconnected streets and transportation networks The main road network proposed for Phase I sets
a framework for developing a modified grid that both adapts to, and preserves the landscape to the extent
possible. It enables an interconnected street system that will make travel intuitive. This network has been
established with the opportunity for logical connections into the future phases of Southwood
redevelopment and to the future Biscuit Run Park. This plan prioritizes a continuation and augmentation
of the existing transportation partnership between the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County
which brings bus service to Southwood.
Parks and open space as amenities This plan proposes the preservation of more than 9 acres of natural
green space and amenity areas made up of sensitive ecological zones such as floodplain, stream buffer
and steep slopes, as well as newly created recreational amenities and civic spaces, all to maintain the
area's natural setting and feeling of tranquility in the future redevelopment. Potential connections to
future county and regional trails and the existing amenities in the Southwood community such as trails,
parks and sport courts will be able to provide multiple varied recreational opportunities to this
development.
Meighborhood centers The Neighborhood Center Special Area marks the intersection of Hikcoy and
Old Lynchburg Road. This area serves as the entrance to the new Southwood, and as such is the most
appropriate area for more intensive uses. Building regulations at this area support an appropriate scale
to create non-residential opportunities and an activated street edge. The Neighborhood Places in Blocks
6 - 9 also provide opportunities for neighborhood commercial entities that would support the new
neighborhood.
Buildings and spaces of human scale' Maximum building heights proposed in this rezoning enable an
urban form at a pedestrian -friendly scale. Pedestrian -centered street design and continuous sidewalks
invite the neighborhood to engage with their community and create a neighborhood with a strong sense
of place.
Relegated parking. This plan envisions alleys in addition to main roads to allow for rear -loaded parking
whenever appropriate, feasible, and allowable, and to minimize curb cuts. The parking plan allows flexible
solutions like surface lots, on -street parking and shared driveways to allow for ample parking that can be
responsive to exact site and conditions the future development presents. The parking requirements
below will allow Southwood residents to have flexibility in locating required residential parking spaces to
allow the neighborhood design flexibility to meet resident need. The project is within a half -mile of an
existing bus stop in the adjacent Southwood Neighborhood. The project intends to encourage additional
bus stops within the development when possible. The project also intends to encourage bike
connectivity to a trail network outside of the Southwood Community.
Mixture of uses and types Phase I allows for a wide range of commercial and residential uses, with the
most intensive uses focused in Blocks 9 - 12 along Old Lynchburg Road, and less intensive uses in Blocks
3 - 8. There are opportunities for commercial uses that act primarily as support services to the residential
development in Blocks 3 - 8. The uses proposed in this Zoning Map Amendment have been designated
by community leaders and have been memorialized in the enclosed use tables.
Mixture of housing types and affordability The Habitat homeownership model alongside innovative
outside partnerships will provide sustainable affordable products available to a wide range of area median
incomes. There will be ownership or rental structures to fit with the goals and aspirations of the
community and the market. The Code of Development allows for a wide range of housing types such as
single-family detached, single-family attached, townhomes, duplexes, apartments, and flexible use
structures. Within each block, with the exception of block 12, at least two of those such housing types
will be provided to ensure a varied built environment. Proactive financial coaching has already begun
within the community to best prepare residents for their future housing goals.
Site planning that respects terrain The team of landscape architects and environmental engineers that
have been advising the redevelopment of Southwood have taken into consideration the unique
conditions and topography present on this site. The road network's curvilinear design responds directly
to existing grades and promotes the preservation of the natural areas at the edges of the site. All
development shall comply with Chapter 18 section 30.7 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
Clear boundaries with rural areas Southwood is located at the southern edge of the growth area and
is bordered to the south by County -leased parkland, serving as a natural and abundant barrier between
this residential urban development and the rural areas to the south. The nearest rural areas are 0.5 miles
to the west and 1.5 miles to the south. The Application Plan includes a 30' wide trail buffer from Hickory
Street south along Old Lynchburg Road.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Southwood is part of Albemarle County's Southern and
Western Development Area, which calls for an Urban Density Residential development with up to
34DU/acre and mixed -income, mixed -use development. The maximum density proposed in this rezoning
application is 34DU/acre and is contained to the most dense section of Blocks 10 - 12, diminishing to a
maximum of 6DU/acre in the more residential sections of Blocks 3 - 4. The building regulations identify
a Neighborhood Center as identified by the Comprehensive Plan, and the Trail Buffer Area of Block 2
along Old Lynchburg Road supports the designation of a "greenway" in that area.

SOUTHWOOD PHASE I —A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT —CODE OF DEVELOPMENT JULY 8, 2019
Proposed Impact on Public Facilities and Infrastructure
The Phase I development of Southwood will connect to the existing internal road Hickory Street,
connecting approximately 330' south of Hickory Street's intersection with Old Lynchburg Road. This first
phase does not contemplate large improvements at the intersection with Old Lynchburg Road, but does
anticipate upgrading Hickory Street to the intersection for the entrance to Phase 1. Future phases and
rezonings will continue to analyze these areas for additional improvements. A traffic study has
contemplated total future build out to ensure long term development requirements are not missed
during the early stages of the development.
Both water and sanitary utilities are located in the area. The existing sanitary line, which follows the
stream, along the south end of the parcel, is well positioned to accept the flow from the first phase of
development. Connection to the existing sanitary line will need to be designed and constructed with
care, as it is located in the Water Protection Ordinance buffer, however connections of this type are
allowed per the ordinance.
The existing waterline network that is located in Southwood runs to a master meter. With the completion
of the Southwood Phase 1 project, it is anticipated that the neighborhood will continue to utilize the
existing master meter, All new taps will connect into the water main in Old Lynchburg Road, allowing a
service to be brought in to feed the first phase of development. The extension of this service will allow
for individual meters to be set for each use, including both residential type units and commercial spaces.
Coordination with the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority and Albemarle County Service Authority has
begun and will continue through the life of this project, including both during the rezoning application
and the site plan/subdivision plan submissions. Because Southwood has existing water and sewer users,
it is anticipated that redevelopment will be credited with an equal number of residential tap fees.
Conversations have already begun with RWSA to coordinate through the site planning phases to
calculate for these tap fee credits.
The development of Southwood also allows for the potential to extend access to a trail system and/or
what may be Biscuit Run Park. This trail system will allow residents and the community to enjoy the
natural areas and terrain, including the stream that runs along the western and southern borders of
Phase I.
Impact on Environmental Features
This site is surrounded by natural features, such as streams, small areas of wetlands, and steep slopes.
Each of these features defines this area and has become important to the resident community to be
preserved and honored in the development of this first phase. Members of the resident design team have
walked the site and acknowledged the environmental features that make it unique, focusing on ways to
preserve and integrate each of these areas into the first phase of development.
The infrastructure and potential layouts carefully consider preserving these areas, while also making
them accessible, allowing the environmental features of the area to be available for resident enjoyment.
This access will be through a trail network developed in coordination with the Parks and Recreation
department.
The streams and wetlands on the site will be preserved in a way to honor the natural habitats associated
with each in partnership with the County of Albemarle. Restoration of some of the streams is being
contemplated. In addition, critical slopes are being honored along the south end of the property and
stormwater and sanitary pipes will be located as to minimize disturbance of steep slopes and
environmental feature. When utilities are required to pass through steep slopes, all grades will be restored
to their predevelopment state.
Strategies for Shared Stormwater
Blocks 3 -8 will feature a mix of residential type units, but will primarily be of a lower density, resulting in
less impervious surface and therefore a lower amount of required water quality treatment. Conversely,
Blocks 9 -12 will feature a more dense development, having a higher ratio of impervious surface and a
greater need for water quality treatment. While all blocks will look to use non-proprietary measures such
as bioretention, infiltration, and preservation of wooded areas, Blocks 9 -12 will most likely require some
form of proprietary treatment such as cartridge filtration or permeable pavers. While all water quality
measures approved by DEQ will be a part of our toolbox during design, we will have a focus on the
different areas as noted. Additionally, off -site water quality credits, in accordance with DEQ may also be
used to meet requirements.
Additionally, Southwood redevelopment, in partnership with Albemarle County staff, is simultaneously
exploring a potential pilot project with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to pursue stream
restoration as an on -site stormwater quality best management practice. However, as that is not yet an
approved BMP, the other options, previously mentioned and shown on the concept plan can be
implemented if it is determined that stream restoration does not meet the state requirements for water
quality treatment.
Water quantity requirements will be met on -site by outfalling directly to the stream, within the 100 year
floodplain. Providing a stormwater outfall at this location will better move water through the drainage
shed, versus allowing the upstream volume and flow to catch up to the on -site runoff.
Gradino
An overlot grading plan and final design of retaining walls shall be reviewed and approved in conjunction
with the site and subdivision development plans for Southwood Phase I. Retaining walls shall be a
maximum of six (6) feet in height, as measured from the top of wall to the finished grade at the bottom
of the wall. The overall retained height may exceed six (6) feet with multiple stepped walls or, at the
discretion of the Director of Community Development, in a single wall.

SOUTHWOOD PHASE I —A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT —CODE OF DEVELOPMENT JULY 8, 2019
10.0 AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The Owner shall provide affordable housing equal or greater to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number
of residential dwelling units constructed on the Southwood Property, subject to the following conditions:
a. These units may be created as for -sale or rental. The Owner reserves the right to meet the
affordable housing objective through a variety of housing types, including but not limited to single
family detached, single family attached, multifamily, accessory units, and Flexible Use Structures,
("Affordable Units").
b. "For -Sale Affordable Housing Units" shall be a residential unit offered for sale to Qualifying Families
with incomes less than eighty percent (80%) of the area median income. All purchasers for for -
sale affordable units shall be approved by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville or
Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee. The Owner shall provide Habitat or the
County or its designee a period of 120 days to identify and pre -qualify an eligible purchaser for
the affordable units. The 120-day period shall commence upon written notice from the Owner
that the units will be available for sale. This notice shall not be given more than 90 days prior to
the anticipated receipt of the certificate of occupancy. If Habitat or Albemarle County or its
designee does not provide a qualified purchaser within this 120-day period for such For -Sale
Affordable Housing Units, the Owner shall have the right to sell the unit(s) without any restriction
on sales price or income of the purchaser(s).
c. "For -Rent Affordable Housing Units" shall be a residential unit offered at an initial rent that does
not exceed the then -current and applicable maximum net rent rate approved by the Albemarle
County Housing Office. "Net Rent" is defined as the amount of rent not including any tenant -paid
utilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the monthly Net Rent may be increased by three percent
per year following the first year of tenancy and still be deemed affordable. The designated
affordable rental units shall remain affordable for a minimum of 10 years after initial occupancy.
d. Affordable Units shall also be defined as any residential unit rented or sold to a current resident of
the existing Southwood community with housing costs capped at 30% of the family's income.
e. Each subdivision plat or site plan shall designate the number of affordable units provided and the
minimum number of required affordable units per the Code of Development.

RESPONSE LETTER
June 25, 2019
Albemarle County Planning Commission
401 McIntire Road
Charlottesville, Va 22902
Dear Members of the Planning Commission:
Thank you for your feedback during the June 4, 2019 Planning Commission work session and subsequent
work session summary letter. In response, Habitat submits the following response letter to document
changes to the Southwood Phase 1 Code of Development (ZMA2018-003) and to provide additional
information and exhibits to address questions and/or concerns expressed by members of the Planning
Commission.
QUESTION 1: What should be the maximum building height allowed per the Code of Development?
There was general consensus that the previously proposed maximum building height of 65' was too high
and that the project should scale down in height from the Hickory and Old Lynchburg neighborhood center.
Also, there was consensus that more information was necessary for the Planning Commission to be able to
evaluate the proposal, particularly as it relates to the area of development at the entrance to Southwood at
the intersection between Hickory Street and Old Lynchburg Road.
I. HEIGHT, INTENSITY AND STREET ACTIVATION CHANGES:
a. HEIGHT AND STREET ACTIVATION: In the updated version of the Code of
Development, there is a Special Area at the entrance to Southwood along Hickory Street
that will contain unique characteristics, such as 12' first floor heights, a publicly
accessible active use recreational facility, structured below grade parking where
topographically appropriate, regulations against structured parking abutting Hickory
Street and built forms to ensure opportunities to provide first floor non-residential uses.
Provisions for these design characteristics will create an active, vibrant and pedestrian -
friendly street edge, and also require this area to have building heights set at a maximum
of 50' or four stories, whichever is less. However, this building height is relegated to this
narrow Special Area along the frontage of Hickory Street to provide for these
programmatic elements. This area corresponds to the Neighborhood Center identified in
the Comprehensive Plan accommodating a density up to 34 units per acre. From this area,
building heights are then scaled down progressively through the remaining blocks in both
directions. The table regulating these heights and special characteristics can be found on
page 13 and 14 in the Code of Development..
b. HEIGHT CALCULATION: The method for calculating height in this rezoning application
will reflect the County's current definition of building height:
Building, height of The vertical distance measured from the level of the curb or
the established curb grade opposite the middle of the front of the structure to the
highest point of the roof if a flat roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, or the
mean height level between the eaves and ridge of a gable, hip or gambrel roof.
For buildings set back from the street line, the height shall be measured from the
average elevation of the ground surface along the front of the building.
Reference to this method of determining height can be found under NOTE 3 on page
14 of The Code of Development.
c. TRANSITION OFHEIGHTAND INTENSITY. Reductions in heights and use intensity
across all sections of Phase 1 are proposed in the revised version of the Code of
Development to better mirror the development intention of appropriately scaling down
intensity from the Hickory Street entrance to the shared border with Biscuit Run State
Park. The 30' landscaped trail buffer will further act to soften the built edge along Old
Lynchburg Road, and the eight acre natural area proposed at the southern edge of Phase 1
will further work to transition the development to the rural characteristics of Old
Lynchburg Road to the south. These reductions are reflected on page 14 of The Code of
Development and the proposed buffer and natural area requirements are reflected on page
15 and 16 of The Code of Development.
IT FURTHER INFORMATION TO SUPPORT PLANNING COMMISSION EVALUATION:
A. BALLOON TEST.- A balloon test was conducted on 18 June, 2019. Two balloons were
flown by Network Building + Consulting at 50' to mark the tallest possible building
height at this location per revisions to the Code of Development based on Albemarle
County staff recommendation. Per Dominion requirements, the balloons were setback 50'
from the power lines and were therefore flown approximately 50' back from the possible
Old Lynchburg Road -facing building fagade. County staff and officials, as well as the
surrounding community, were notified of the date and time of the balloon test. Photos
taken on site are provided in ATTACHMENT A: BALLOON TEST.
b. CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS: BRW architects developed 3D renderings at several
points along Old Lynchburg Road and Hickory Street, taking into account projected
grading and landscaping plans to explore how buildings at the Neighborhood Center will
relate to the existing Southwood neighborhood as well to Old Lynchburg Road. These
renderings and a map are provided in ATTACHMENT B: RENDERINGS.
c. SECTIONS: BRW architects has developed updated sections both through Old
Lynchburg Road to explore the height relationships to existing neighborhoods and the
Southwood community as well as a cross section through Phase 1 to explore maximum
building heights and the transition in scale from most intense development at Hickory
Street to least intense at the transition from Southwood to Biscuit Run Park. These
sections are provided in ATTACHMENT C: SECTIONS.
QUESTION 2: Should Old Lynchburg Road be a Framework Street?
There was general consensus that Old Lynchburg should be a framework street.
I. CHANGES: Revisions to the Code of Development include Old Lynchburg Road as a
Framework Street and will be subject to all applicable building regulations. This revision can
be found on page 14 of The Code of Development, Table 4.
QUESTION 3: Is the proposed recreation substitution request for Block B acceptable? Are sufficient
recreational facilities being provided?
There was general consensus that significant amounts of active and passive use recreational facilities should
be provided for a neighborhood of this scale. Also, Planning Commission members wanted to see active and
accessible recreational facilities that united the new and the existing communities.
I. MINIMUM GROSS REQUIREMENT CHANGES: This application amends the Green
Space and Amenity Area regulations to address this concern and establishes minimum
passive and active use square footages for all areas of Phase 1. This updated regulatory table
can be found on page 15 of The Code of Development.
II. ACTIVE USE AND PUBLIC ACCESS CHANGES: A publicly accessible active use
recreational facility is regulated via the inclusion of a 6,500 sf active use space at Hickory
Street (the specifics of which will be decided via a community charrette process but will
likely include an urban scale soccer field) and will be made, per zoning, accessible to the
entire community. The conceptual location of this area can be found in the map on page 15 of
The Code of Development and the supporting regulations can be found in the Green Space
and Amenity Area table on page 15 of The Code of Development.
III. RESIDENT CHOICE AND TYPES OF USE: Habitat is in agreement with the
recommendation from the Planning Commission that future substitutions in the type of
recreation facilities provided be pursued in accordance with the demographics and interests
of the community members who will live in the future neighborhood. Habitat is committed to
a design process by which residents who will eventually purchase or rent homes in each
individual neighborhood will participate in the site planning process to designate the
appropriate amenities for their area.
QUESTION 4: Within the Code of Development and Application Plan that have been submitted, are
there aspects that require additional detail, revisions or clarification?
The following materials have been produced in response to requests made by the Planning Commission:
• CONCEPT PLAN. BRW architects has developed a revised version of an overall concept plan
showing the current and future project area, including Phase 1 rezoning and the remainder of
Southwood. This concept plan illustrates general development areas and critical connections
between road and trail infrastructure and is provided in ATTACHMENT D: CONCEPT PLAN and
can be found on page 4 of The Code of Development
AREA MEDIAN INCOME DATA: In 2013, Habitat collected self -reported income from all
households in the mobile home park through an intensive year -long survey and interview process.
This data was recently updated in 2019 through a survey of 181 homes. Both data sets are included
in the AMI data report. In addition, Habitat's Community Engagement staff has been working in
one-on-one financial coaching relationships with the more than 70 families (Early Adopters) who
have self -identified as interested in living in Phase 1. This AMI data set for the Early Adopter
Families is also being provided. These tables can be found in ATTATCHMENT E: AMI DATA
RESIDENTAL ANTIDISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN: As requested by
the Planning Commission and in accordance with federal standards set forth by the Uniform
Relocation Act and HUD Section 104(d), the Residential Anti -displacement and Relocation
Assistance Plan for Southwood Phase 1 can be found in ATTACHMENT F: RARAP. This plan
establishes the methods that will be used to minimize resident displacement during development, as
well as Habitat's commitment to support any family displaced and to replace on a one -for -one basis
any lower -income dwelling unit demolished or removed for the purposes of redevelopment.
SOUTHWOOD HOUSING MIXTURE PLAN: Habitat has developed a Housing Mixture Plan that
outlines the housing typologies for both purchase and rent that will be available in Southwood Phase
1, as well as the affordability range of these products, from deeply affordable units to market rate.
This plan also outlines the resident design process by which the exact mix of typologies will be
established in each neighborhood to ensure that the products and lots designed through the site
planning process will be accessible to the Southwood community. This Housing Mixture Plan is
provided in ATTACHMENT G: HOUSING MIXTURE PLAN
• AFFORDABILITY. As a continuation of the long-standing partnership between Habitat and
Albemarle County, the parties have agreed upon a Performance Agreement (voted on by the Board
of Supervisors on 6/19/19) that sets forth anticipated quantities, mechanisms and longevity of
affordable products within Phase 1 of Southwood. Through this agreement, Habitat has committed to
a minimum of 75 affordable housing units built or contracted to be built by Habitat, with the
additional commitment to pursue award of a competitive financing application for 80 affordable
rental units through Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Habitat built units are affordable to families
between 25-80% of AMI and utilize deed restrictions with affordability provisions for a minimum of
40 years. No families will pay more than 30% of their income on housing expenses. LIHTC rentals
are affordable to families below 80% of AMI and will retain that affordability for a minimum of 30
years. Additional innovative affordable housing products such as, but not limited to, Flexible
Structures (accessory units) are being piloted in Southwood and will be affordable to renters at the
lower end of the AMI scale. A copy of this Performance Agreement is provided in ATTACHMENT
H: PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
HOUSING CHOICE AND VARIETY: Habitat has also created a new Housing Choice Pilot Program
specifically for homebuyers who will purchase Habitat -built products within the Southwood
neighborhood. This pilot program, unique to any Habitat affiliate nationally, will enable families to
make more custom housing choices based on their needs, abilities and desires. Among the elements
of this program is the ability for Southwood families to pay less than what they qualify for to
purchase more modest units that meet their lifestyles while holding onto savings and/or a larger
portion of their income for other purposes such as business incubation, educational goals, etc.
Conversely, this program builds on the strength of the existing Southwood shared economy by
allowing families to pool larger down payments to either buy down their monthly costs or purchase
an upgraded or upsized home. Brochures describing the housing products and their associated costs
through the Habitat program can be found in ATTACHMENT I: HABITAT HOUSING TYPES
INTERNAL ARB: The Code of Development for Phase 1 provides for the creation of an internal
ARB comprised of a minimum of 51 % existing Southwood community members that will be
established before the submission of the first building permit. This Board will review all submissions
for compliance with the Code of Development and will establish and periodically update ARB
guidelines to evaluate the appropriateness of submissions. Regulatory language establishing this
ARB can be found on page 15 of The Code of Development. These guidelines, like the Code of
Development itself, will be co -created by the residents of Southwood. Attached to this letter is an
example from a previous Habitat developed neighborhood for framework language that may serve as
a template for how this ARB will function and what evaluation criterion it will use. This document
can be found in ATTACHMENT J: ARB TEMPLATE
IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE: Habitat agrees with the Planning Commission that immediate
improvements to Quality of Life that could affect the Southwood community as a whole should be
pursued, particularly improvements to the aging infrastructure on site. As such, Habitat has
submitted to County staff a proposal for upgrades to all of Hickory Street, identifying the
opportunity to leverage public and private funding through a Revenue Sharing application in the fall
of 2019 to bring real-time improvements to community member's experience of living in the
neighborhood and to develop healthy spine for the remaining phases of redevelopment. This
upgrade, if approved by the County, could provide advanced road and underground utility
improvements, including a modernization of the sewage system, to the current trailer park. The
budget and exhibit produced by Timmons Engineering to explore this opportunity can be found in
ATTACHMENT K: REVENUE SHARING
USES, PROCESS and HOME OCCUPATIONS: The average trailer at Southwood comprises just
800 sf of living space, necessitating ad hoc space -creating solutions (such as sheds and additions) by
community members whose lifestyles and families have outgrown this limited square footage. New,
sustainable homes constructed in Phase 1 (generally between 1,060 and 1,200 sf) will better reflect
the size demands of families, reducing the need for families to build on. At the same time, this code
of development also includes provisions for sheds and home occupancies so that small-scale
businesses can coexist within residential areas. Further, this code of development includes a Flexible
Use Structure definition, which can be used cyclically as an accessory dwelling unit, storage facility
or space to support small business enterprise. Finally, through the resident -driven design process,
community members will co -create site plans on a block by block basis that allow for these
accessory uses in ways that reflect and support their way of life. The definition for Flexible Use
Structure can be found on page 8 of The Code of Development. The full permitted use list can be
found on pages 10,11, and 12 of The Code of Development.
CODE OF DEVELOPMENT REFORMATTING: Clear feedback from the Planning Commission on
the legibility and usability of the previous version of the Code of Development has led to extensive
revisions to the format of the current submission. While incorporating the substantive changes
referenced above, the document has also been reorganized to minimize the need to cross-reference
and provides more information in table format for better clarity. A simplified Block strategy has
replaced the previous Block and Character Area strategy to make it easier to understand and regulate
requirements across the site.
NATURAL AREASAND TRAIL BUFFER: Two major elements of the Phase 1 design will help
protect existing trees, the 30' Trail Buffer along Old Lynchburg Road, which will be graded as
minimally as possible to protect older tree specimen or replanted where necessary, and the 8-acre
Natural area, which will be largely undisturbed and will maintain an older section of forest adjacent
to a perennial stream. For this reason, our landscape architecture consultants do not recommend a
landscaped berm over the 30' Trail Buffer, as it would disrupt existing forested areas more than
necessary. All proposed road sections include street tree plantings. A map and description of both
the Trail Buffer and Natural Area can be found on pages 15 and 16 of The Code of Development.
Proposed road sections can be found on page 18 of The Code of Development.
• COVER LETTER: To better capture revisions made as a result of feedback from neighbors, staff and
the Planning Commission, a cover letter is included with this submission that outlines the
substantive changes — such as reductions in building heights, addition of Old Lynchburg Road as a
Framework Street, recreational facility changes, more specific block by block regulations, etc. -- as
well as providing a guide on how to read the newly organized Code of Development.
Thank you for your attention to these submissions;

ATTACHMENT E: AMI DATA
Southwood Low to Moderate Income Beneficiary Survey and Homebuyer/Tenant Qualifications
In 2013, Habitat conducted an extensive survey of all Southwood households, asking trailer owners and renters to
register with the Property Management office and participate in a survey and interview with the on -site Community
Engagement staff. Families were asked to self -identify into desired households regardless of their current living
situations. This process resulted in 370 self -identified, ideal future households in the 341 trailers. A portion of the
data gathered at that time pertained to households' self -reported income. Below is a table representing that data
set:

More recently, from March to June of 2019, Habitat has conducted a baseline survey of a randomly sampled
subsection of the neighborhood in partnership with Habitat for Humanity International to evaluate the community's
Quality of Life. This survey will be revisited at the 3 and 5-year mark of this partnership with Habitat International.
As part of this data collection effort, income data was self -reported. The data set from this survey is below:

From both the initial community -wide survey in 2013 and from the updated random sampling in 2019, data
consistently demonstrates that the majority — between 98-100%— of the Southwood community are families with
low to moderate income.
Early Adopter Income Data
Since January of 2017, families have been invited to self-select into the Early Adopter cohort — individuals who are
interested in living in the First Phase of Southwood redevelopment. As progress has been made toward approval of
the rezoning application of Phase 1, the number of early adopters has increased from an initial group of 20 to more
than 70 families today.
All of these families have entered into a Financial Coaching relationship with Habitat's on -the -ground Community
Engagement and professional housing counseling staff. Financial Coaching involves understanding a family's housing
goals and working with them to become financially prepared for obtaining that goal. Work may include correction of
tax documents and creation of profit and loss summaries for small business owners, increased relationships with
banking institutions, debt reduction and household spending plan development.
Through this coaching process, Habitat staff have been able to collect more accurate income data than provided by
self -reported surveys. Below is the reported income data for 52 of the Early Adopter families. 100% of families
participating are below 80% of area median income, though the distribution from extremely low to low to moderate
is more weighted toward low and moderate income families than in the general Southwood census. This may be
attributable to the possibility that families self -identifying as the "most ready" to stabilize their housing may be
more financially secure than those in a typical cross section of Southwood. However, it is more likely that the
personal relationships and individual attention afforded through the Financial Coaching relationships ensures a more
accurate financial picture than self -reported data.

Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan
This Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan (RARAP) is prepared by Habitat for Humanity of
Greater Charlottesville (Habitat) in conjunction with Albemarle County (the County) in accordance with the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended; and HUD regulations at 24 CFR 42.325 and is applicable to
our CDBG, UDAG and/or HOME -assisted projects.
Background and Site -Specific Information
Habitat first purchased Southwood Mobile Home Park in 2007 with the sole intent to redevelop the neighborhood
into a mixed -use, mixed -income community. The ownership structure in Southwood is such that Habitat owns the
property, and individual trailer owners own the mobile homes as real property and rent trailer pads from Habitat. In
2010, Habitat first established on -site resident support and counseling in the form of a Community Coordinator.
That department has grown to a staff of 6 full time employees focusing on community engagement, resource
support and financial coaching. In addition to weekly community meetings focused on Southwood Redevelopment
(History + Context document outline Southwood redevelopment attached), this team facilitates a Resource Trailer
where any community member can access services and support to connect with area resources, notarize
documents, receive tax document support and access the internet.
The cost to rehabilitate failing infrastructure, the depreciating nature of an aging stock of mobile homes and the
designation of Southwood as part of Albemarle County's intended growth area make a simpler rehabilitation project
an impossible avenue for stabilizing this community. Shortly after purchase, Habitat expended more than $2.SMM in
deferred maintenance to bring Southwood infrastructure to a serviceable level, and since the inception of its
ownership of the park, has invested more than $19MM in maintenance, management and upkeep of the mobile
home park. Wholesale refurbishment of all water, sewer, storm and road infrastructure is necessary to ensure the
longevity of this property. 57% of the homes at Southwood were constructed prior to 1978 and the beginning of
HUD regulations for mobile home construction, making these units unserviceable. 84% of homes were built more
than 30 years ago with the newest trailer on site being constructed in 2003, 16 years ago.
A recent regional housing study indicated that there is an estimated 12,000-unit deficit in our region for affordable
housing with little to no inventory available to residents at or below 30% of area median income. Because of this
lack of affordable housing, Habitat has consciously decided to offer deeply subsidized pad rental rates per the local
market value for more than a decade. Habitat rents have increased from $240/month at the purchase of the park in
2007 by only $30 to $270/month. Comparable rent rates for mobile home pads in the area are $500 and greater.
It was also in 2010 that Southwood extended written leases to all real property owners within Southwood. At that
time, the final clause in the lease affirmatively established that Southwood was intended for redevelopment, and
secured a minimum of 120-day notice in the event that a mobile home needed to be removed in the event of
redevelopment (lease attached for reference). In 2013, in furtherance of the goal of redevelopment, all community
members were asked to register with the main office and complete a survey and interview. All residents of the 341
homes that participated in this registration process were promised non -displacement, defined as, "facilitated
healthy rehousing options for each current resident of the park." Any individual purchasing a trailer after January 31,
2014 has been notified that they have moved into Southwood after the initiation of redevelopment, and will not be
guaranteed facilitated rehousing in the future of Southwood (application coversheet attached).
Minimize Displacement
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, Habitat will take the following steps to
minimize the direct and indirect displacement of persons from their homes:
- Phased Development Plan to Minimize Displacement: The First Phase of Southwood redevelopment is being
constructed on acreage not currently occupied by any mobile homes to minimize the impact of
redevelopment on existing homes. This phase will result in approximately 75 replacement housing units and
up to 80 LIHTC rental apartments if competitive tax credits are awarded to the project, providing a surplus of
new affordable housing available to lower -income individuals
- Resident -Driven Redevelopment: Existing Southwood community members are actively participating in the
planning and development of the rezoning application and subsequent site plan documents for the First
Phase of Southwood redevelopment. Residents are self -determining interest in living in the new
neighborhood created by these documents and their vision and direction is guiding the development of the
parcels and subdivisions that will make up this community
- Prioritize on -site rehousing: Should any temporary housing be required, all displaced residents will first be
offered the opportunity to be rehoused temporarily on site as they await the construction of their
permanent replacement housing. Because of the nature of full-scale demolition and new construction, these
temporary rehousing times may exceed one year, but this will allow families to stay in their neighborhood,
school system, and community for the duration of their wait. It will also allow neighbors to self-select into
phases of redevelopment, ensuring a non -coercive model for redevelopment
- Financial Coaching +Housing Navigation: Southwood employs a significant, bi-lingual on -site Community
Engagement staff and will continue to offer financial coaching and housing navigation for all displaced
households to support their healthy rehousing goals
- Replacement of Housing: Southwood redevelopment will offer a surplus of replacement housing units in
Phase 1, constructing approximately 75 units. Current development estimates indicate that Southwood,
once all phases are complete, will provide approximately 400 affordable housing units by the end of
construction, replacing all 341 mobile homes on site today with sustainable affordable housing and
increasing the affordable housing stock in the area
- Affordable Housing Mechanisms: Southwood is envisioned to offer housing opportunities across the
economic spectrum. Affordable rentals provided through LIHTC transactions, should credits be awarded
through the competitive application process, will provide housing opportunities to individuals and families
at 80%or below of AMI. These rentals will remain affordable for 30 years. Affordable homeownership
opportunities provided through Habitat for Humanity will provide housing opportunities to individuals and
families at 80% or below of AMI. These homes retain deed restrictions with affordability provisions for a
minimum of 40 years. Habitat is also piloting the creation of affordable Accessory Dwelling Units as part of
their homeownership program. These rental units would be provided at an affordable rate as established by
HUD for a minimum of 10 years. Other innovative affordable partnerships are being sought to provide an
even wider array of affordable housing typologies and tenures.
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Persons
Habitat will provide relocation assistance for lower -income tenants who, in connection with an activity assisted
under the CDBG and/or HOME programs, are forced to move permanently or move personal property from real
property as a direct result of the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of a lower -income dwelling units
in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 42.350. A displaced person who is not a lower -income tenant will be
provided relocation assistance in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 2970, as amended, and implementing regulations at 49CFR Part 24.
One -for -One Replacement of Lower -Income Dwelling Units
Habitat will replace all occupied and vacant habitable lower -income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use
other than lower -income housing in connection with a project assisted with funds provided under the CDBG and/or
HOME programs in accordance with 24 CFR 42.375.
Before entering into a contract committing Albemarle County to provide funds for a project that will directly result
in demolition or conversion of lower -income dwelling units, Albemarle County will make public by publication in the
Daily Progress and submit to the HUD Field Office and the Commonwealth of Virginia the following information in
writing:
1. A description of the proposed assisted project
2. The address, number of bedrooms, and location on a map of lower -income dwelling units that will be
demolished or converted to a use other than as lower -income dwelling units as a result of an assisted
project
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion
4. To the extent known, the address, number of lower -income dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms)
and location on a map of the replacement lower -income housing that has been or will be provided
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling units
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit is designated to remain a lower -income
dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy
7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of lower -income dwelling units with smaller
dwelling units (e.g. a 2-bedroom units with two 1-bedroom units) or any proposed replacement of efficiency
or single -room occupancy (SRO) units with units of a different size, is appropriate and consistent with the
housing needs and priorities identified in the HUD -approved Consolidated Plan and 24 CFR 42.375(b)
To the extent that the specific location of the replacement dwelling units and other data in items M through 7 are
not available at the time of the general submission, Habitat will identify the general location of such dwelling units
on a map and complete the disclosure and submission requirements as soon as the specific data is available.
Replacement not Required Based on Unit Availability
Under 24 CRF 42.375 (d), Habitat may submit a request to HUD 9or to the State, if funded by the State) for a
determination that the one -for -one replacement requirement does not apply based on objective data that there is
an adequate supply of vacant lower -income dwelling units in standard condition available on a non-discriminatory
basis within the area.

Southwood Housing Mixture Plan
In combination with market rate dwelling units, affordable units provided in Phase 1 of Southwood redevelopment
will be a mixture of owned and rented dwellings with tiers of affordability, ensuring families across the economic
spectrum will have sustainable housing opportunity. Affordable opportunities will be available to families with
incomes between 0% and 80% of the area median income established by HUD, adjusted by family size.
In partnership with Albemarle County, via a Performance Agreement ratified by the Board of Supervisors on June
19`h, 2019, Habitat has committed to a minimum of 75 affordable housing units built or contracted to be built by
Habitat in Phase 1, with an additional commitment to pursue award of a competitive financing application for 80
affordable rental units through Low Income Housing Tax Credits.
Process
The typology and ownership structure of the 75 Habitat -built or contracted units in Phase 1 will be determined in
direct partnership with families who have self -identified as interested in living in the first Villages in Southwood.
Financial coaching has already begun with more than 70 families to determine their housing aspirations and begin to
financially prepare for purchase or rental of those housing types identified.
In July and August of 2019, families, equipped with an understanding of their financial capabilities, will participate
with architects and engineers in a series of design charrettes to create the site plan for the first model village. The
housing mix in, and layout of, this village will be decided by the residents, who will each choose a home to purchase
or rent that suits their abilities and aspirations. Mixed in with these villages will be market rate homes as space
permits.
Phase 1 will consist of up to three resident -designed villages. Each subsequent village following Village 1 will follow
the same resident -led design process and future resident cohorts will receive the same preparatory financial
coaching.
Unit Types
To ensure a range of affordability, the following unit types and ownership mechanisms are potentially being pursued
as options for Phase 1 of Southwood redevelopment:

obligations in this Agreement.
10. The Relationship Between Affordable Housing and Economic Development There is a direct relationship
between affordable housing and a positive economic benefit to the County and the region.
A. The Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Assessment. "The Comprehensive Regional
Housing Study and Needs Assessment," prepared by the Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership of the
Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (March 2019) (the "Report') includes the following.
1. A Description of the Regional Economy. In the context of the ability to afford housing, the Report
describes the regional economy as follows: "The regional economy is largely split between high -wage
professions requiring at least a college degree and lower -wage service jobs in restaurants, retail, hospitality and
other sectors. Many service businesses offer only part-time employment without benefits, often on irregular
schedules. Even two or three such jobs are not enough to afford most local housing. Accessing jobs requires
car ownership or lengthy commutes on public transit, where available." Report, page 66.
2. The State of Housing in the Region. The Executive Summary to the Report details the regional rental and
ownership housing markets and following is a sampling of those details: (i) housing prices have increased
rapidly over the past 20 years and wages have not kept up; (ii) some of the strongest job growth in the region
has taken place in the service sectors where wages are relatively low and hours are often limited; (iii) a number
of factors have contributed to the rise of rents for older apartments and houses that traditionally would have
been affordable to low and moderate income households; (iv) 9,000 renter households in the City of
Charlottesville and Albemarle County, excluding student households, are paying more than 30 percent of their
income for housing costs, the accepted affordability standard established by the United States Department of
Housing, including over 4,000 renter households that are paying at least half of their income for housing, (v)
the waiting fist for Housing Choice Vouchers are estimated to be as high as 1,866 in the City of Charlottesville
and 1,350 in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, and Nelson Counties, and wait times are estimated to be five to
eight years; (vi) approximately 7.5 percent of the homeowners in the urban localities within the region are
spending one-half or more of their income on housing costs; (vii) long commutes ("drive till you qualify') add
transportation to the costs of homeownership in the rural localities in the region; (viii) Habitat receives 180 to
205 applications annually from households seeking to invest in building a home; and (ix) the Albemarle
Housing Improvement Program, which provides home repairs for low and moderate income households, has a
waiting list of 292 households in the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County that need emergency repairs
and rehabilitation for their homes. Report, Executive Summary, pages 3-7.
Attachment A
Draft: June 19, 2019
3. The State of Housings Impact on the Region's Economy. The Report summarizes the lack of affordable
housing on the region's economy: "These housing problems have many consequences for the region's
economy. Employers report difficulties in recruiting and retaining workers. Turnover and absenteeism are
higher than desirable, in part, because of the burdens of those long commutes. Those who must recruit
workers with specialized skills often find they are forced to pay higher salaries than their counterparts pay in
other parts of the state. Economic development professionals across the region report difficulties in recruiting
new businesses due to concerns about their ability to move and attract workers to a market with such high
housing costs." Report Executive Summary, pages 7-8.
B. Other Studies and Reports. Many studies and reports link affordable housing to economic development. "The
Role of Affordable Housing in Creating Jobs and Stimulating Local Economic Development A Review of the
Literature," prepared by the Center for Housing Policy (2011) reviews the studies conducted regarding the
immediate and long-term economic benefits provided by affordable housing. In sum, the report finds a direct link
between affordable housing and economic development, concluding that the studies reviewed demonstrate that
"development of affordable housing increases spending and employment in the surrounding economy, acts as an
important source of revenue for local governments, and reduces the likelihood of foreclosure and its associated
costs. Without a sufficient supply of affordable housing, employers — and entire regional economies — can be at a
competitive disadvantage because of their subsequent difficulty attracting and retaining workers."
It. This Agreement is Contingent Upon, But Not in Exchange for, Approval of ZMA 2018-00003. This Agreement
is contingent upon the County Board of Supervisors approving ZMA 2018-00003 which, as currently proposed, would
allow the uses and densities to enable the Project. However, this Agreement is not, and should not be construed to be,
an Agreement by the Board to rezone the Property. In its consideration of ZMA 2018-00003, the Board may and will
exercise its full legislative powers and discretion as authorized by law.
12. Enabling Authority. The County and the Authority are authorized to enter into this Agreement and to make the cash
contributions and transfers as provided in this Agreement to Habitat pursuant to the following:
A. Virginia Code S 15.2-953. Virginia Code § 15.2-953 enables the County to give funds to any charitable institution
that provides services to residents of the County, that provides housing for persons 60 years of age or older, and to
provide funds to the Authority for the purposes of promoting economic development.
B. Virginia Code S 15.2-959. Virginia Code § 15.2-959 enables the County to engage in research, studies, and
experimentation in housing alternatives, including the rehabilitation of existing housing stock and the construction
of additional housing.
C. Virginia Code § 15.2-1205. Virginia Code § 15.2-1205 enables the County Board of Supervisors to
give, lend, or advance in any manner that it deems proper funds or other County property, not otherwise
specifically allocated or obligated, to the Authority.
D. Virginia Code § 15.2-4905(W. Virginia Code § 15.2-4905(13) enables the Authority to make loans or grants to
any person, partnership, association, corporation, business, or governmental entity in furtherance of the purposes
of the Industrial Development and Revenue Bond Act (Virginia Code § 15.2-4900 et seq.), including for the

materials, insulation, rough and finish electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling systems, underlayment,
countertops and cabinets, trim, painting, appliances, flooring, kitchen appliances, finish work such as book
shelves, and connections to utilities, and the like, of a Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADU, until the
75th certificate of occupancy is issued for Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADUs within the Project.
The Rebate may not be used for site preparation or to construct or install within the Project any streets,
utilities, common area improvements and amenities, or for any other purpose.
b. Second: Apply to Habitat Debt to Construct Affordable Dwelling Units. Any Rebate received by
Habitat that can no longer be used as provided by Section 4(C)(5)(a) (because, for example, all Habitat -
built or Habitat -contracted ADUs have been constructed in the Project), shall next be applied by Habitat
to pay any debt incurred by Habitat to build Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADUs within the Project.
c. Third: Rebates Deposited in Escrow Account for Affordable Dwelling Units in Subsequent Phases
of Southwood. Any Rebate to be received by Habitat that can no longer be used as provided by Sections
4(C)(5)(a) and 4(C)(5)(b) shall be deposited in an escrow account established by the County instead of
being directly transferred to Habitat. Habitat shall inform the County Executive in writing, with any
supporting evidence it may have or that may be requested by the County Executive, that the Rebates can
no longer be used as provided by Sections 4(C)(5)(a) and 4(C)(5)(b). Any Rebates deposited in an escrow
account may be withdrawn by Habitat upon prior approval by the County Executive for the sole purpose
of using the Rebate to construct or install ADUs outside of the Project but within Southwood. The
transfer schedule established in Section 4(C)(4) applies to Rebates that will be deposited in an escrow
account to the extent that it is practicable, allowing adequate time for the County Executive to reasonably
consider the information provided by Habitat.
6. Non -appropriation. Any Rebate to be made by the County and the Authority pursuant to this Section 4(C) in
any Fiscal Year is subject to non -appropriation by the County Board of Supervisors as provided in Section 6 of
this Agreement.

have rebated to Habitat $1,400,000.00, whichever occurs first.
D. Suspending Transfers of Cash Contributions or Rebates. The transfer of any Cash Contribution or Rebate
from the Authority to Habitat shall be suspended at any time while Habitat is not in compliance with any obligation

Section 5 shall be reasonably made by the County Executive.
2. Notice from the County to Habitat. The County shall provide written notice to Habitat that Habitat is not in
compliance with one or more obligations it has pursuant to Section 5. The notice shall identify the obligations
that Habitat is not in compliance with and recommend corrective actions to return to compliance.
3. Resolution. Habitat shall make good faith efforts to return to compliance with its obligations. If it disagrees
with the County as to whether it is not in compliance with one or more of its obligations, Habitat may request
to meet with the County pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure in Section 9(G) of this Agreement. The
request must be made by Habitat in writing and be received by the County within 30 days after the date Habitat
received the written notice from the County pursuant to Section 4(D)(2).

Project.
£ Cash Contributions Not Applied for Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADUs. Any Cash
Contributions transferred pursuant to Section 4(B)(1) shall be returned if the full amount is not applied
solely to construct or install Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADUs as described in Section 4(B)(3).

It. Habitat Ceases to Operate. If Habitat ceases to operate before the County issues the first certificate of
occupancy for a Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADU within the Project, any County Funds shall be
returned.
2. Prorated Returns. Habitat shall return the County Funds on a prorated basis in any of the following
circumstances:

certificate of occupancy not obtained from the County for an ADU within the Project by December 31,
2027 that is less than 80, provided that at least one certificate of occupancy has been issued for an ADU
developed or installed as provided in Section 4(B)(1)(b). Example: If 70 certificates of occupancy for

Habitat -built or Habitat -contracted ADU within the Project by December 31, 2027 that is less than 75, up
to the amount of Cash Contributions that it received. Example, If 70 certificates of occupancy for Habitat -
built or Habitat -contracted ADUs have been issued by the County by December 31, 2027, five certificates
of occupancy were not timely obtained and Habitat must return $100,000.00.
3. Milestones Reached, Failed, Re -attained. Any Cash Contribution made pursuant to the milestones being
reached pursuant to Section 4(B)(1)(c), (d), or (e), then returned by Habitat because Habitat thereafter no

4. Timing of Returns. Habitat shall return any Cash Contribution or Rebate required by this Section 3(E) within
30 days after it receives a written demand for a return from the County. The Authority shall transfer any return
to the County within 45 days after it receives the return from Habitat.
F. Security Interest to Ensure the Return of County Funds. If Habitat fails to timely return any County Funds as
required by Section 4(E)(4), the County, in its sole discretion, may record an instrument against any portion of the
Property owned by Southwood Charlottesville LLC or Habitat, or both, or any other real property owned by
Habitat in Albemarle County, at the time of the proposed recordation to secure the return. Habitat shall sign the
documents necessary to allow the County to record its instrument, and shall not otherwise prevent, or seek to
prevent, the County from recording its instrument. The County instrument shall be subordinate to any instrument
recorded by one or more financial institutions to secure its funding provided to Habitat. The County shall sign the
documents necessary to subordinate its instrument to the instrument recorded, or to be recorded, by the financial

more LIHTC or other ADUs in Block B in the Project, but would be developing a project that promotes the
economic and community development of Southwood. In evaluating a request, the Board will consider any relevant
criteria including, but not limited to: (i) whether the development will provide civic space for Southwood; (ii)
whether the development will lease at affordable rates commercial space for Southwood residents and their
businesses; (iii) enhanced open space for Southwood; (iv) funding for affordable housing within Southwood; and
(v) other features, elements, improvements, or services that promote the economic and community development of
Southwood. If the transfer of the land by Habitat to a developer is not completed, the June 30, 2021 deadline shall
be extended an equivalent amount of time that the land was not actively marketed.
C. Ensure Long-term Affordability. Habitat will ensure the long-term affordability of the ADUs within the Project
as follows:
1. Dwelling Units that are Habitat -built. Habitat -contracted, Habitat -sold. Habitat -built, Habitat -
contracted, and Habitat -sold ADUs shall qualify as affordable housing for a minimum of 40 years. Affordability
may be achieved through deed restrictions, reserving in all ADUs a right of first refusal and granting the
County a right of second refusal, by providing forgivable final mortgages, and other incentives. The period of
affordability begins on the date that the certificate of occupancy is issued by the County for each ADU. To
"Actively" conducting the capital campaign described. In order for Habitat to be deemed to be "actively"
conducting the capital campaign, the Habitat fundraiser required by Section 5(I) shall be dedicated exclusively

campaign may be non-exclusive if Habitat demonstrates to the County Executive's satisfaction that exclusive
dedication to the capital campaign is not required for Habitat to meet its obligation under this Section 5(D).
The County Executive shall not unreasonably withhold approval.
2. "Aggressively" conducting the capital campaign described. In order for Habitat to be deemed to be
"aggressively" conducting the capital campaign, the Habitat fundraiser required by Section 5(I) shall conduct

expended in compliance with this Agreement. The County Board of Supervisors may, in its sole discretion,
determine that a change in the legal status of Habitat as a corporation (e.g., from a corporation to another entity) is
not a change in ownership for purposes of this Agreement.
6. This Agreement is Contingent Upon Approval of ZMA 2018-00003. This Agreement is contingent upon the
County Board of Supervisors approving ZMA 2018-00003 which, as currently proposed, would allow the uses and
densities to enable the Project. If ZMA 2018-00003 is not approved by the County Board of Supervisors by June 30,
2020, this Agreement is void.
7. Non -appropriation. The obligation of the County to contribute County Funds as provided in this Agreement is
subject to, and dependent upon, appropriations being made from time to time by the County Board of Supervisors.
Therefore:
A. Non -appropriation is not a Breach. The failure of the County Board of Supervisors to appropriate County
Funds to the Authority, and for the Authority to transfer County Funds to Habitat, or the County's failure to
perform any term or condition pursuant to this Agreement resulting from the failure of the County Board to
appropriate County Funds, is not a breach of this Agreement

Supervisors does not appropriate any County Funds, the other terms of this Agreement shall continue to apply. In
particular, Sections 4(B)(3) and 4(C)(5) shall apply to any previously received County Funds that have not yet been
expended; and Sections 5(C), 5(E), 5(F), 5(1), and 5(I) shall continue to apply to any Habitat -built or Habitat -
contracted ADU in the Project for which Habitat has previously received County Funds.
C. This Agreement does not Establish an Irrevocable Obligation. Under no circumstances shall this Agreement
be construed to establish an irrevocable obligation on the County to contribute the County Funds to Habitat as
provided in this Agreement.
8. Notices, Requests. Reports, and Correspondence. Any notices, requests, reports, or other correspondence required
by this Agreement must be given in writing, and they are deemed to be received upon receipt or refusal after their

The parties agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to delineate the parties' new
rights and obligations.
3. Severable: Other Provisions. If any other provision of this Agreement other than those described in Sections

in this Agreement and otherwise by applying the plain and natural meaning of the words used, and not for or
against any party by reason of authorship.
F. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by a written amendment signed by the authorized representatives
of the parties.
ATTACMENT H: PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
G. Dispute Resolution. If there is a dispute of any kind between any parties arising under this Agreement, upon the
written request of a parry:
1. Designation of a Senior Representative: Negotiation. Each of the parties to whom the dispute pertains will
designate one or more senior representative to negotiate with the other parties' senior representative in good
faith and as necessary to attempt to resolve the dispute without any formal proceedings.
2. Corrective Action. If the negotiated resolution of the dispute requires any party to take, cause to be taken, or
cease taking some action or practice, that parry shall do so within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90
days.
3. Dispute Resolution Process a Prerequisite to Starting Court Proceedings. No parry may initiate court
proceedings by filing an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve a dispute until the earlier of (i) a
good faith mutual conclusion by the senior representatives that amicable resolution through continued
negotiation of the dispute does not appear likely; or (u) 90 days after the initial request to negotiate the dispute.
After either condition has occurred, a party may file an action in the jurisdiction and venue provided in this
Agreement and may pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity. Each party shall pay its own
attorney's fees.
4. When the Dispute Resolution Process is Not Required. Nothing in this Section 8(G) will, however,
prevent or delay a Parry from instituting formal proceedings to: (i) avoid the expiration of any applicable
limitations period; or (ii) seek declaratory and injunctive relief.
H. Venue. Venue for any litigation arising out of our involving this Agreement shall lie in the Circuit Court of the
County of Albemarle or in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. An action shall not
be brought in any other court.
I. Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of establishing the relative rights
and obligations of the parties and does not create any type of partnership, joint venture, joint venture, purchaser -
vendor, or employer -employee relationship.
J. No Third -Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights on any person or entity who is not a
parry, whether as a third -parry beneficiary or otherwise.
K. No Waiver of Sovereign Immunity or Other Immunities. This Agreement and any action taken by the County,
the County Board of Supervisors, and the Authority pursuant to this Agreement is not, and shall not construed to
be, a waiver of either sovereign immunity or any other governmental immunity that applies to the County, the
County Board of Supervisors, or the Authority.
L. Non -liability of County and Authority Officers and Employees. No County Supervisor or other County
officer or employee, and no Authority Director or other Authority officer or employee, shall be personally liable to
Habitat if there is any default or breach by the County, the County Board of Supervisors, the Authority, or the
Authority's Board of Directors pursuant to this Agreement.
M. Force Majeure. If Habitat's timely performance of any obligation in Section 5 of this Agreement is interrupted or
delayed by any occurrence that is not caused by the conduct of the officers or employees of either the County, the
Authority, or Habitat, whether the occurrence is an "Act of God" such as lightning, earthquakes, floods, or other
similar causes; a common enemy; the result of war, riot, strike, lockout, civil commotion, sovereign conduct,
explosion, fire, or the act or conduct of any person or persons not a parry to or under the direction or control of
the County, the Authority, or Habitat, then performance of Section 5 is excused for a period of time that is
reasonably necessary after the occurrence to remedy the effects thereof.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
6.1 Architectural Review Committee. There is hereby established a committee (the
"Architectural Review Committee") for the purpose of reviewing and, as appropriate, approving
or disapproving all Plans (hereinafter defined) submitted by Owners in accordance with this
Article 6. Initially, the Architectural Review Committee shall be composed of one person, who
need not be a Member of the Association, appointed by the Developer. Once 1000,0 of the
Property and the Additional Area have been developed and conveyed to Owners, or the
Developer delegates this responsibility to the Association in writing, whichever occurs first, the
Architectural Review Committee shall be composed of one to three Members of the Association
appointed by the Board. The member(s) of the Architectural Review Committee shall serve for
such terms as may be determined by Developer or the Board, as the case may be. Nothing in this
Article 6 or elsewhere in this Declaration shall be deemed to require the submission or approval
of Plans for improvements constructed or to be constructed by the Developer on any Lots or
Common Areas.
6.2 Plans to be Submitted. Before commencing the construction, erection or installation of
any building, addition, patio, deck, fence, wall, exterior lighting, sign, mailbox or mailbox
support, improvement or other structure (each of the foregoing an "Improvement" for the
purposes of this Article 6) on any Lot, including any site work in preparation therefor; before
commencing any alteration, enlargement, demolition or removal of an Improvement or any
portion thereof in a manner that alters the exterior appearance (including but not limited to paint
color) of the Improvement or of the Lot on which it is situated; before removing any tree with a
diameter in excess of five (5) inches, measured three (3) feet above ground, any flowering tree
(such as dogwood or redbud) or broad leaf evergreens (such as holly, laurel, or rhododendron) in
excess of three (3) inches in diameter, similarly measured, or any live vegetation on slopes of
greater than 25 percent (25%) gradient; or before planting any vegetable garden in a front or side
yard of a Lot, each Owner shall submit to the Architectural Review Committee a completed
application on the form provided by the Architectural Review Committee (the "Application"), a
proposed construction schedule and plans and specifications of the proposed construction,
erection, installation, alteration, enlargement, demolition or removal, or plantings, which plans

plans showing any trees to be removed and retained and shrubs, plants and ground cover to be
installed, and (iii) plans of the Improvements showing exterior elevations, construction materials,
exterior colors, driveway material, and such other information as the Architectural Review
Committee in its discretion shall require (collectively, the "Plans"). The Architectural Review
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement that any or all of the required Plans
be submitted in a particular case where it determines such Plans are not necessary to evaluate the
Application. The Architectural Review Committee shall not be required to review any Plans
until a complete Application, construction schedule and Plans have been submitted. Submissions
shall be directed to the Architectural Review Committee at the address of Developer in the same
manner as notices are to be sent to Developer pursuant to this Declaration for so long as the
member of the Architectural Review Committee is appointed by Developer, and thereafter to the
Architectural Review Committee at the address of the Association in the same manner as notices
are sent to the Association.
6.3 Administrative Fee. The Board may from time to time reasonably establish a fee for the
Architectural Review Committee's review of Applications. Payment of any such fee to the
Association shall be a condition to the approval or disapproval by the Architectural Review
Committee of any Application.

any Improvement that would violate any of the provisions of this Declaration or of any
12 13

ATTACHMENT J: ARB TEMPLATE
Supplemental Declaration applicable thereto. In all other respects, the Architectural Review
Committee may exercise its reasonable discretion in determining whether to approve or
disapprove any Plans, including, without limitation, the location of any Improvement on a Lot.
If any submitted Plan for Improvement has not been approved or disapproved within sixty (60)
days of the Architectural Review Committee's receipt of a complete submission package, then
the Plan shall be deemed approved.
6.5 No Structures to be Constructed Without Approval. No Improvement shall be
constructed, erected, installed or maintained on any Lot, nor shall any Improvement be altered,
enlarged, demolished or removed in a manner that alters the exterior appearance (including paint
color) of the Improvement or of the Lot on which it is situated, nor shall any tree removal or
plantings requiring approval of the Architectural Review Committee be commenced, unless the
Application, Plans and, if applicable, construction schedule have been approved by the
Architectural Review Committee. After the Application, Plans and, if applicable, construction
schedule have been approved, all Improvements shall be constructed, erected, installed,
maintained, altered, enlarged, demolished or removed strictly in accordance with the approved
Plans and with reasonable diligence and dispatch in accordance with the approved construction
schedule.
6.6 Guidelines May Be Established. The
guidelines to be used in considering whether
approval of such guidelines by the Board.
Architectural Review Committee may establish
to approve or disapprove Plans, subject to the
6.7 Limitation of Liability. The approval by the Architectural Review Committee of any
Plans shall not constitute a warranty or representation by the Architectural Review Committee of
the adequacy, technical sufficiency or safety of the Improvements described in such Plans, and
the Architectural Review Committee shall have no liability whatsoever for the failure of the
Plans or the Improvements to comply with applicable building codes, laws and ordinances or to
comply with sound engineering, architectural or construction practices. In addition, in no event
shall the Architectural Review Committee have any liability whatsoever to an Owner, a
contractor or any other party for any costs or damages (consequential or otherwise) that may be
incurred or suffered on account of the Architectural Review Committee's approval, disapproval
or conditional approval of any Plans.
6.8 Other Responsibilities of Architectural Review Committee. In addition to the
responsibilities and authority provided in this Article 6, the Architectural Review Committee
shall have such other rights, authority and responsibilities as may be provided elsewhere in this
Declaration, in any Supplemental Declaration and in the Bylaws.

heard by the Board upon the request of any Owner whose Lot is the subject of such decision,
which request shall be made in writing to the Board within thirty (30) days after the Owner is
advised of such decision.

LOCHLYN HILL
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
ATTACHMENT J: ARB TEMPLATE
LOCHLYN HILL
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The following are the guiding principles the Lochlyn Hill Architectural Review Board (LH-
ARB) will use in conjunction with the builder/architect design team to develop the
original built form of Lochlyn Hill. The Code of Development associated with the City
PUD is a historical document that forms the foundation for the following Architectural
Standards.
The primary function of this document is to establish the baseline for interpretation by
the LH-ARB. It is the expectation of the LH-ARB that the eventual homeowner led
committee will include more specific rules to help in the governance of the LH-ARB
when control is transferred to the Neighborhood. Specific rules will be documented
throughout the initial phases of construction and as the Lochlyn Hill neighborhood
evolves. Milestone Partners or its successor, the developer of Lochlyn Hill, will be
available long term to assist the LWARB in managing the vision of the Neighborhood.
Per the Homeowner's Association Declaration, at such time as final certificates of
occupancy have been issued with respect to homes constructed on one -hundred
percent (100%) of the Residential Lots Milestone shall remain in control of the LH-ARB.
The LWARB powers will then be transferred to the Board of Directors of the
Association, and at such time the Board shall appoint a committee comprised of not less
than three (3) and no more than seven (7) members to enforce these provisions.
Additionally, the LWARB shall include one representative appointed by Milestone as
long as Milestone desires to have a representative on the Board.

ARCHITECTURAL VALUES
Diversity
Lochlyn Hill will feature an emphasis on diversity in the following categories:
• Roof Treatment and Orientation
• Elevations
• Materials
• Colors
• Edge Treatments
• Landscaping
• Massing
Diversity Guidelines:
1. The distribution of lot sizes at Lochlyn Hill creates inherent diversity between
building product. Specific diversity constraints of elevations and colors are not
necessary, but homebuilders and residents are encouraged to view the street
as a composition.
2. A variety of roofing materials are encouraged, a minimum of 30-year
architectural fiberglass shingles shall be met. Accent roof material is
encouraged where appropriate to the architectural style.
Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood
In order to encourage walkability throughout Lochlyn Hill, homes should artfully engage
the street. The pedestrian zone will extend from front door to front door, creating a
dynamic space that encourages social interaction and well-being.
Pedestrian Orientation Guidelines:
1. Walkway material from the sidewalk to the front porch or other similar
entranceway to the home, is encouraged to be diverse
2. Finished floor elevations of 2'+ higher than the sidewalk are strongly
encouraged.
Rhythm of Public/Private Spaces
To foster a vital street complex it will be important to define the public spaces which are
characterized by sidewalks from the semi-public defensible spaces, such as the home's
front yard and front porch. Methods for defining those spaces include:
• A broad variety of edge treatments including retaining walls, cheek walls,
hedges, fences, landscaping, and slope may accomplish this distinction.
• A buffer space that protects the private space on the front of the house.
• A "Cool Zone" that is most commonly defined by a front porch, but could be a
patio or terrace.
• A raised finished floor to delineate the private space within the house as separate
from the public realm

3.1.16 —VERSION 1.1
ATTACHMENT J: ARB TEMPLATE
ATTACHMENT J: ARB TEMPLATE
• Carefully crafted outdoor space in relation to floorplan on the side and/or back of
the homes.
Public/Private Space Guidelines:
1. Backyard privacy fences should not be taller than 6' and the finished side of
the fence shall face out. Privacy fences may not start within the first 1/4 of the
front of the house. Privacy fences are allowed on corner lots at the building
setback and must include landscaping on the street side of the fence.
2. Fence Materials shall be wood or metal fencing, vinyl fencing is prohibited.
Style of fencing shall be compatible with the architectural style of the house.
When wood fencing is used, it shall be stained a uniform color (Thompson's
Water Seal Semi -Transparent — Acorn Brown, Woodland Cedar, Harvest
Gold, Maple Brown, Sequoia Red)(if another brand or color is proposed, it
shall be submitted for review), painting is prohibited. When metal fencing is
used, it shall be Black.
3. Edge treatments are required on all lots and should relate to the architectural
style of the house. Edge treatment shall include both street sides on corner
lots. Methods for treating the edge might include fences (wrought iron, picket,
etc.), hedges, walls, curbs (cheek wall), slope and landscaping.
4. Edge treatments should work cohesively with architecture style of house.
5. Diversity is encouraged in fence and masonry material choices, provided they
are compatible with the architectural character of the house and adjoining
property treatments.
Massing in Relation to Lot/Block/Neighborhood
We value the exterior spaces throughout the neighborhood in conjunction with the living
spaces inside the homes. Homes must:
• Address the corners.
• Possess diversity of roof structures and orientation
• Address the public spaces
• Be sited properly to ensure pleasant view sheds are captured. An example may
include locating the house at the terminus of a street so that it becomes a
prominent landmark.
Massing Guidelines:
1. Carriage Houses: Each carriage house will meet the requirements for a
single family dwelling as defined in the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building
Code. Each Carriage House Unit shall conform to the Code of Development.
They shall be on the same parcel as the primary dwelling unit to which it is an
accessory. Carriage House Units may not be subdivided from the primary
residence. The subdivision restriction shall be described on the plat creating
such parcels and be incorporated into each deed conveying title to such
parcels.
a. All Carriage House Units must be constructed in the same architectural
style as the primary residence and must employ the same exterior color
3of8
3.1.16 —VERSION 1.1
selections as the primary residence. Setback regulations for Carriage
House Units shall be the same as those for garages
b. Carriage House Units are separate, detached independent living units
which are included with a single family detached unit and clearly
subordinate to the primary residence. These units are typically located
above a garage and are restricted to a maximum finished area of 800
square feet. These units may have a distinct street address and may be
provided with separate utility meters if utilized as a rental unit.
Homes on corner lots should address the corner, preferably with a side entry
to the porch or terrace. Side elevations for corner lots should be well-
proportioned.
Authenticity of Style
The style of the homes will be determined by the homebuilders. However, it will be
important to pay specific attention to the authenticity of the components of the chosen
architectural styles. Specific areas for concern are the:
• eave
• cornice
• exterior materials
• colors
• differentiation of floors where appropriate
• base, middle and top
• Raised finished floor
• proportion
fagade components
organization of elements
elements themselves
• trim dimensions, column dimensions, etc
Authenticity Guidelines:
1. Architectural style should be supported by stylistically correct architectural
detailing.
2. Material and color changes should occur at inside corners. They should not
occur on outside corners or randomly on elevations.
3. Dog house chimneys are allowed with a foundation. The visibility from the
street should be diminished by locating the chimney only on the back 2/3 of
the side elevation of the house. Doghouse chimneys are not allowed on the
side elevation facing the street on corner lots.
4. Shutters are to be full -operational or appear to be operational.
5. Eave overhangs should match the style of the house.
6. Soffits and porch ceilings are required to be paneled unless otherwise
approved by the ARB.
7. Gutter downspouts are to be drained 10' away from the house or piped into
the storm drain system. Gutters may not drain onto adjoining properties.

Sustainability
Sustainability is defined by the quality of life in a place. A community is sustainable
when the economic, social and environmental systems that make up that community
are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all residents, both present and
future.
The goals for Lochlyn Hill for Sustainability include:
Utilization of Solar Orientation where possible and compatible with aesthetic goals
• Public buildings and amenities will be sited to achieve an appropriate balance
between solar insulation and the uses of the buildings or amenities.
Energy Efficiency
• Earthcraft Certification
• HERS ratings
• Energy Star
Water Management & Conservation
• Low flow fixtures
• Rainwater roof catchments and storage
• Utilizing stormwater for greywater systems, e.g. irrigation or toilet flushing.
Durability
Durable exterior finish materials
High quality weather barrier and flashing details
Flexible interior layouts (structure and utility layouts) (adaptive reuse)
Indoor Air Quality
• Controlled Mechanical Ventilation
Low VOC finishes and adhesives
Flooring options to meet American Allergy Institute standards.
Daylighting
• Orientation of buildings, placement of glazings, and coordination of overhangs
to allow natural daylighting of interior spaces.
Landscaping
The landscaping at Lochlyn Hill should build on the themes and forms established by
the built form. Native plants are encouraged, however it is recognized that many non-
native species are functional, beautiful and favorites of gardeners. Home landscaping
should also consider the composition of the street, including neighboring landscape
installations and street trees.

Introduction
ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is implementing a national model, community -based redevelopment process at
Southwood Mobile Home Park. Southwood is currently home to 1,500 people in 341 trailers on 120 acres, and like many trailer
parks across the nation, aging infrastructure, tenure insecurity, severe development pressure and a housing stock that was largely
built prior to HUD safety standards, mean that this vibrant community of hard-working families was on the brink of permanent
erasure prior to Habitat's purchase of the property in 2007. Through the process of physical redevelopment, Southwood will
be transformed into a sustainable, mixed -income, mixed -use village without resident displacement, transferring physical and
emotional ownership of the neighborhood to the families and neighbors that call it home.
Southwood redevelopment begins with the strengths, dreams and aspirations of the existing community, building on their
vision for the future and focusing on amplifying the culture and community that exist today, while creating an environment
that welcomes new neighbors to the table. Central to the process at Southwood is authentic and intensive engagement with
residents to provide them with the necessary information to make intelligent decisions about the future of their community.
This focus on listening first requires putting aside assumptions and predetermined solutions for the neighborhood, approaching
master planning as a process rather than a product. Habitat is committed to continuing this resident -driven design process
on a village -by -village level, engaging with each new cohort of resident leaders to support them in the design of their own
neighborhood. Maintaining long-term flexibility to allow this multi -year project to develop in response to changing resident
aspirations is a critical component of its success.
Habitat has been working side -by -side with the residents on financial literacy, long-term planning, small business support,
and more, to facilitate the holistic transformation of the neighborhood to meet the vision of the community, and improve the
quality of life for all its residents. At full build out, Southwood will include amenities to support the community vision like parks,
community centers and affordable childcare, as well as ready access to additional jobs and support services. A range of housing
types available to individuals across the economic spectrum will ensure a diverse, sustainable neighborhood where community
members can move up without moving out. This application also takes into consideration the systems and amenities outside
the boundaries of Southwood, and is responsive to long range transportation goals, Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan,
future development of Biscuit Run Park, and current plans to strengthen existing multi -modal trails and connections between
Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville.
This rezoning application focuses on the first phase of physical redevelopment only, an undeveloped greenfield adjacent to
Southwood that will allow residents to see the promise of non -displacement in action. Rehousing opportunities on this site
will allow the first cohort of residents to move from their current trailer in the developed portion of Southwood into their
new, sustainable housing solution with as little disruption as possible to their lives, ensuring the continuity and success of the
neighborhood. A future rezoning application for the remaining portion of Southwood will be designed alongside community
members and submitted to Albemarle County for approval in the coming years.
Approximately 20 million people live in trailers nationally, most of whom own their homes but not the land underneath them.
Southwood will provide a blueprint at an unprecedented scale for empowering residents to improve their long-term housing,
financial, and social conditions while achieving secure tenure. The unique non-profit/public partnership entered into by Habitat
and Albemarle County will be a model for how to achieve redevelopment equitably, sustainably and attractively, both here in
Central Virginia and nationwide.
This Zoning Map Amendment requests the rezoning of three contiguous properties (Parcels 76-51A, 90-1A, and 90A1-1E) on
33.96 acres from R-2 and NMD to Neighborhood Model District (NMD). With a maximum of 450 residential units and a focus
on providing a model for reinvesting in aging suburban neighborhoods, the community -generated design principles presented
in this zoning map amendment will create a mixed -income, mixed -use community catalyzing the non -displacement and
realization of secure tenure of the community that exists today.
Through intensive engagement with Southwood residents, the staff and leadership of both Albemarle County and Habitat, elected
and appointed local officials, and other community members, the following Guiding Principles for Southwood Redevelopment
were formed. These values have shaped the regulatory elements proposed in the Code of Development associated with this
request for a Zoning Map Amendment, and in addition to the guidelines provided by the NMD zoning designation and the
Comprehensive plan, these six Principles should be used as an evaluative tool to measure the success of rezoning application.

ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
Guiding Principle 1
NON DISPLACEMENT
Beyond simply counting housing units, non -displacement is a principle that extends to the culture and community of the
Southwood neighborhood. While the built environment and physical systems at Southwood are unsustainable, the people are
strong and the community characterized by social cohesion. Through one-on-one counseling and affordable housing alternatives,
Habitat is committed to supporting the healthy rehousing choices of every current resident of Southwood.
• The phased redevelopment approach allows construction to begin on undeveloped land, demonstrating the intentions
of non -displacement and ensuring as little disruption as possible to residents' lives (p. 4, Code of Development, Applica-
tion Plan).
• Small business support through individualized counseling and the opportunity to create business incubation spaces will
ensure the continued economic vitality of Southwood, provide new opportunities for economic development, and sup-
port the creation of neighborhood centers that look and feel as diverse and vibrant as the people of Southwood.
• Increased density allows for necessary outparcel sales of market rate and non-residential land to help subsidize land de-
velopment costs, allowing the housing stock at Southwood to reach deeper into the housing affordability spectrum and
Guiding Principle 2
RESIDENT OWNERSHIP
Habitat is committed to a non -coercive approach to redevelopment, ensuring that, through open and transparent information
sharing, residents are equipped with the best information and tools to ensure a successful future for the community. This
investment and ownership of the process will ensure an engaged, active community in Southwood and beyond.
• Resident leadership has already resulted in 1,882 volunteer hours over the course of the last two years. Each family has
been interviewed and 51 families have already indicated their excitement to participate in the first phase of redevelop-
ment. Through peer -to -peer outreach and an approach that honors the knowledge and expertise of the community,
continued resident leadership has intensified. Over the next two years, more families will step forward to design and
move into Phase I. (p. 25, Early Adopter Cohort Development).
• A Village by Village design approach means that residents will be working in groups alongside architects and designers
to implement the flexible toolkit provided by this code of development (p. 26, Future Engagement Activities).
• Flexibility in the development of a regulatory framework both protects the integrity of the Southwood neighborhood and
is able to generate solutions that can respond to natural change over the lifetime of a community (p. 12-13, p. 5-7, Code
serve more low to moderate -income community members and further diversifying community opportunities. of Development, Character Areas).
ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
Guiding Principle 3
HEALTHY HO USING
A sustainable Southwood depends on a diversification of the housing stock. Today, trailers are the only housing typology
available, but the future of Southwood imagines a mix of use, type and affordability that will provide for a healthy and diverse
housing ecosystem. This will be accomplished through:
• Preserving housing choice by providing rental and ownership opportunities and the one-on-one housing counseling
support necessary to help each resident achieve their housing goals.
• Ladders of Opportunity will be provided through availability of market rate, work force and supported affordable housing
options that ensure community members can move up without having to move out.
• A mix of housing typologies from single family detached homes to innovative small footprint structures available to both
current Southwood residents and new neighbors will allow the community to grow and diversify without losing its core
character (p. 18-19, Potential Product Solutions).
Guiding Principle 4
A SENSE OF PLACE
Phase I will serve as the gateway to a wholly new community, and as such, special attention has been paid to design elements
that both preserve the natural setting that community members value while ensuring an attractive and harmonious presence
along Old Lynchburg Road.
• A multi -block approach ensures an appropriate massing and scale of the various sections of the first phase of redevelop-
ment. This provides the highest intensity at the Hickory Street entrance and scaling down from there to meet the more
residential scale of the existing Southwood neighborhood, and the park -like setting that borders the community to the
south (p. 10, Code of Development, Layout)
• An Integrated trail system providing access to over 3,000 linear feet of walking and biking paths that will wind along the
edge of Phase I, allowing neighbors to choose between a variety of walking and biking experiences as they navigate their
community while also buffering Old Lynchburg Road and Biscuit Run Park from development impacts (p. 11, Code of
Development)
• A natural area amenity that bounds the South edge of Southwood Phase 1 and provides eight acres of naturally wooded
walking trails that follow one of Southwood's many water features and could provide future pedestrian connections into
Biscuit Run Park preserving the natural feel of the Southwood neighborhood (p. 10, Code of Development, Green Space)
7
ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
Guiding Principle 5
SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS
Southwood is a young community of families that value togetherness and connection. Providing adequate amenities to support
the lives of the residents and prioritizing safety are critical components of the regulatory framework.
Pedestrian oriented design elements, such as required connective paths between the street edge and the trail areas
ensure a pleasant and varied pedestrian experience that will allow easy access from more residential areas of phase I to
non-residential and amenity areas (p. 11, Code of Development, Green Space and Amenity Definitions)
• Traffic -calming road design through the potential waiver street sections for lanes and yield streets as well as more
traditional right of way widths will allow framework streets to function appropriately to the scale of the neighborhood,
slowing traffic and prioritizing the safe movement of children and families over ease of vehicular access (p. 17,, Code of
Development)
• Connection to area amenities and the ability of the neighborhood to connect through trails to these and wider resources
will enable families to take advantage of future amenities like Biscuit Run Park and the ever-expanding bike and walking
systems developed by Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville
4��
Guiding Principle 6
COHESIVE DESIGN
Though this first request for rezoning focuses on a phase of Southwood redevelopment, community members have been
working alongside designers to ensure that, at full build out, the neighborhood will function as a cohesive whole.
• A Conceptual diagram that employs principals from the resident -driven design work in phase I to the remainder of the
Southwood neighborhood is included in this document. This diagram finds commonalities in spaces throughout the
neighborhood and indicates the potential long-term development patterns in Southwood ensuring that one village will
be compatible with the next (p. 27 Conceptual Southwood Master Plan Strategy)
• Working with an environmental engineer, an environmental features study has identified three naturally occurring
streams and several wetlands areas throughout the Southwood property. These areas of environmental sensitivity have
been mapped and provide a guide for a network of interconnected trails and green spaces that will encircle and connect
the fully developed Southwood neighborhood (p. 10, Existing Conditions Map)
• A Neighborhood Plan that takes a holistic approach to improved quality of life will be developed concurrently with
resident -driven site planning, producing a governing document not just for the physical elements of redevelopment, but
the aspects of the neighborhood necessary to ensure improved outcomes in health, education, safety, transportation,
etc. (see Diagram, p. 6). This same plan will be reviewed and updated every three to five years, to allow it to evolve and
change with the community and provide further support for redevelopment efforts
ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
PRELIMINARY STUDIES + ILLUSTRATIVE PLANS
The Southwood Neighborhood Model Code of Development includes a variety of regulatory and dimensional requirements
that will guide the village by village redevelopment of Phase 1. The following pages contain preliminary volumetric studies
for each character area, as well as two illustrative plans, to better illustrate the varied quality of the Code's potential results.
As various iterations of these studies were developed during the planning and refinement of the Code of Development, they
provided the resident planners and consultant team with examples that informed modifications and adjustments to the
Code. In addition to the building regulations, it is the intention that an internal ARB will provide further guidance on form
and development within the neighborhood. Through the regulations and requirements of the Code of Development and
the intended internal Southwood ARB guidelines, we believe the efforts and intentions of the resident -led process and many
community meetings and discussions have been and will be captured within building regulations. The following images
should be considered as illustrations, with the understanding the specific design and arrangement for the property will be
provided in detail during the Site Plan process within the limits and characteristics of the community defined by the resident
planner's Code of Development.

INTRODUCTION
Background + History
The Southwood Mobile Home Park was built in the 1950s with just a few trailers around a single road. Over the last 60 years it
has expanded to include 341 homes, 26 roads, and two community centers.
In 2007 in the face of significant redevelopment pressure, failing infrastructure and the likelihood of catastrophic resident
displacement, Habitat purchased Southwood with the goal of redeveloping it as a mixed -income, sustainable neighborhood
without resident displacement.
During the past ten years, Habitat has focused on building trust, preserving the park for existing residents, addressing significant
deferred maintenance issues, creating capacity among residents to be community leaders and facilitating the provision of
social, educational and health services. To date, Habitat has invested more than 19 million dollars in operations and deferred
maintenance in the community and partnered with more than 30 social services providers.
Redevelopment Core Values
After completing Sunrise, the first trailer park in the nation to be transformed into a mixed -income community without resident
displacement, and stabilizing the physical conditions at Southwood, Habitat began the physical redevelopment process in earnest
in 2011 when its Board of Directors approved the following core value statement to guide redevelopment:
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is committed to redeveloping the Southwood Mobile Home Park
as a well -designed, sustainable, mixed income community of substantial benefit to the region guided by the
following core values:
Non displacement: Facilitating healthy rehousing choices for each current resident of the trailer park.
Net increase in affordable housing: Causing a significant increase in the overall local affordable housing stock responsive
to the evolving regional need.
Community engagement., Creating a plan of development resulting from extensive interaction with Southwood residents -
taking into account their needs, desires and abilities - and other stakeholders in the community (surrounding neighbors,
County officials, etc.).
Asset -based approach: Building on existing community assets by being responsive to what's already good about Southwood,
both socially and physically.
Self-help model: Basing redevelopment strategies on Habitat's central belief that a'hand up" is better than a'hand out.
Redevelopment will include substantial opportunities for current residents and other low-income residents of the area to
earn the chance to build and purchase Habitat homes and/or otherwise participate in the rebuilding of the community.
Fiscal responsibility: Managing the redevelopment process in a financially sustainable way that allows Habitat to continue
with its core mission of building affordable homes into the future.
Southwood is a diverse community of 1,500 hard-working people. Family and education are deeply valued,
as well as the affordability of living at Southwood and the proximity to Charlottesville and its many resources.
We appreciate the peace and physical beauty of the park and there is a richness of culture, youth and
entrepreneurial spirit. We aspire to provide a better life for our children and a legacy for generations to come.
The Southwood neighborhood is a special place characterized by faith, resilience and hope. We are committed
to working hard, with neighbor helping neighbor, to build a stable, diverse and bright future for all members
of our community.
YOUR SOUTHWOOD STORY 1EMr` �
Understanding the strengths and assets that we possess is an important first step in celebrating what's
great about our community and in planning for the eventual redevelopment of Southwood. Our story of
Southwood will serve as the foundation for a plan of redevelopment that honors what we currently value
about Southwood.
New Story of Southwood
Following an intensive survey and interview process with all 341 homes in Southwood in 2013, Habitat's Community Engagement
staff sat down for 158 one-on-one interviews with Southwood residents to document the New Story of their community - their
values, dreams and vision for their families and their future.
After hundreds of hours of in-depth conversation, the stories were gathered for common ideas, creating a list of nine repeating
themes. These themes were brought to a working group of residents who were asked to first verify that the information reflected
their own picture of the community and second, to prioritize and narrow down the list.
The working group agreed on the following guiding values and definitions:
Family: The priority and the thing that keeps us going, where you learn the purpose of life, the nucleus of society and the
foundation of everything
Affordable: A good price and you get more value for your money, within our means, more space for less money and closer
to things in the city
Education: Important for learning different skills for a better future and a better quality of life, founded in the family and
transmitted in schools and universities, an opportunity to develop new skills to get a better job
Community: Neighbors learning from one another, supporting each other, having fun together, and working together towards
a common goal, events when we all come together, when we collaborate with each other
Quiet., A country setting, quaint, with lots of trees and flowers, a peaceful place to live
Hard -Working: Our responsibility to support and care for family, working together and helping others. having goals in your
life and working hard to achieve them
ATTACHMENT L. CONTEXT & HISTORY
PubliclPrivate Partnership
In October of 2016, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution supporting a collaborative
redevelopment process for the Southwood Community, setting in motion a unique private -public partnership thatcould serve
as a blueprint for future revitalization and redevelopment of the County's aging suburban infrastructure." This partnership clearly
acknowledges that the success of sustainable, holistic redevelopment of Southwood depends on multi-sectoral coordination,
support and maximum flexibility.
Southwood redevelopment presents an opportunity for the Commonwealth, Albemarle County and other investors to receive
significant social and financial return on investment. A 2013 study by the University of Virginia Weldon Cooper Center For Public
Service estimated that a redeveloped Southwood will generate 17x the tax revenue for Albemarle County than it does currently.
At build out, Southwood will include private investments - direct contribution of dollars into the local economy - of more than
$200MM. Once a multiplier is applied, the total economic impact will be significantly higher, likely approaching $1.5B.
Additionally, the study showed that Habitat's development of Southwood without resident displacement will provide significant
cost avoidance. According to the study, if Habitat were not able to redevelop the property and the resultant market forces
displaced the area's most vulnerable residents, the cost in rehousing assistance alone over a 4.5 year period using a formula
based on the Federal Relocation Act standard would be $21MM.
On top of the quantifiable financial benefits and savings attributable to housing improvement and expansion, successful
redevelopment at Southwood will address significant needs in such realms as education, social services, safety, land use,
transportation, economic development, recreation and access.
Action Plan
Since the passage of the resolution, County and Habitat officials, staff members and professional planners have been working
side -by -side with residents to understand the vision of the community, to develop a process for moving forward and to work
cooperatively toward improving the immediate and long term quality of life for all Southwood's residents. The complexity, scale
and vision of this project will require the investment of policy, planning, direct services, and financial resources to ensure success.
Subject matter experts and staff from both Habitat and the County have been tasked with putting resident voices at the center
of their work, seeking to find pathways to create the safe and inclusive neighborhood that Southwood desires.
In January of 2018, Habitat and the County jointly agreed to an Action Plan for accomplishing these goals and milestones over
the next few years. This plan outlined the formation of five distinct but interrelated teams [see diagram below[ as well as near,
mid and long-term deliverables for each group.

Through that process, three categories rose to the top: housing, outdoor spaces, and businesses + amenities. In January of
2017 those themes were brought back to the community to verify, add, subtract and modify until they became an accurate
representation of general community aspirations. Eighty households read and responded to the priorities, kicking off the next
stage in community -driven redevelopment - the eventual identification and formation of the Early Adopter team.
This intensive process of listening, reflecting back honoring the vvshes of the community and following up with frank conversation
around constraints and opportunities is the foundation for the resident -driven design process outlined in the following sections.
Lessons learned from this process influenced the approach to physical redevelopment, locating the first phase on land where
no trailers exist in order to communicate clearly to residents that Habitat and the County are serious about engaging with
residents directly in this planning process that vvll determine their future and that neither entity will overlay its vision over top
of their existing neighborhood. Habitat and residents have agreed on a key principle -'nothing about you vvthout you.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Potential Product Solutions
The first commitment the Board of Directors of Habitat made to the Southwood Community was to redevelop the neighborhood
as a well -designed, sustainable, mixed income community without resident displacement, placing a premium on creating
tenure security for existing residents. Through the years working side -by -side with Southwood families, that understanding of
non -displacement has expanded beyond a simple one -for -one replacement of housing units to a broader and more complex
concept of cultural, economic, and individual non -displacement. Southwood redevelopment has the opportunity to renovate
the infrastructure of the mobile home park without disrupting what makes this community great - the people that call it home.
Habitat's vision is a Greater Charlottesville community where everyone can find a decent place to live, and Southwood is a
model for how to counter severe displacement pressure in a manner responsive to the specific community under threat.
Data from Southwood families indicate that 98% of community members earn at or below 80% of the HUD -identified 2018
area median income for Charlottesville -Albemarle, qualifying them as extremely low to moderately low income households
[see table below]. It is important, then, that Habitat staff work one-on-one with families in housing and financial coaching to
facilitate healthy rehousing choices for each current resident of the park, and that the development provide a range of housing
products and ownership structures to meet family goals. The organization is committed to supporting housing choice on site
in the redeveloped Southwood as well as within the region, and w ll continue to build affordable homeownership opportunities
in our service area throughout the development of Southwood, providing greater housing options for Southwood residents
and the community as a whole.
Albemarle County's chapter on Housing in the adopted Comprehensive Plan identifies affordable housing as a main housing
objective, and provides guidance that, "at a minimum, 15% of all lunits developed under rezoning and special use permits are
affordable.° This rezoning application therefore establishes a minimum threshold of 15% affordable housing units for all of Phase
I of Southwood redevelopment.
At full build out, it is the goal of Habitat that housing at Southwood will be responsive to the community it serves, and because
of this commitment to supporting the housing choice of current residents, it is likely that approximately 40-60% of the total
housing stock will be affordable to residents making 80% or less of area median income.
Southwood today is completely comprised of aging mobile homes with little opportunity within the community for family
growth and individual upward mobility. According to community surveys, the majority of residents enjoy living in Southwood,
largely because of the quality school district and proximity to economic opportunities. The choice to own their home - even
though trailers are considered personal property, are a negative asset and do not provide tenure security - is also almost always
a factor in a resident's decision to live in Southwood, highlighting the challenge of living in a region where homeownership is
primarily available to individuals at 120% or above of area median income. On the facing page are examples of housing types
and subsidy mechanisms that may exist in Southwood to make the shift from a homogeneous and physically degraded housing
stock that has largely exceeded its useful life to a healthy and diverse housing ecosystem.
In light of this, Habitat is pioneering its own model for affordable homeownership, exploring a tiered program that will allow
families greater agency and choice in housing product and cost and ensure a wider spectrum of affordable homeownership
options within a single community than ever before.

Land Planning Workshops
As the foundation for authentic, meaningful conversations about the community's aspirations for the future, this workshop series
served as a two-way transfer between resident leaders and professional planners of skills, information and values.
Community members learned about some of the constraints on land development like flood plain and steep slopes, availability
and accessibility of necessary infrastructure and the impact of density on the financial feasibility of redevelopment. Models and
interactive workshops gave community members the tools to begin translating their lived experience into two-dimensional

Discussion about desired commercial and non-residential uses provided context as residents grappled with how to balance
community aspirations - such as a neighborhood with amenities that support the health and wellbeing of the whole family -
with personal aspirations of individuality and private space. Developing a common definition for affordable - no more than 30%
of a family's income being devoted to housing expenses - and understanding how incorporating a significant number of market
rate homes into the neighborhood created the opportunity for a wide range of housing products, while also subsidizing the
development of affordable lots, resulted in resident leaders advocating for well -designed higher density that allowed Southwood
to be financially viable, keeping intact the existing community while making space for new neighbors.
These community values of affordability and inclusivity inspired the resident cohort to begin thinking in terms of "we over me"
representations of their preferences, allowing them to communicate in the language architects, engineers and planners use to identifying that attached housing and smaller but meaningful open space resulted in greater access and opportunity for the

Resident Committees
After the initial Land Planning workshops, resident leaders continued their work by forming three redevelopment committees.
Committee groups met once a month to train for events and activities that occurred over the summer of 2017, reporting out
about their work to the wider community at monthly redevelopment meetings. Each committee was charged with different
tasks and each spoke to different skill sets the leaders possessed, allowing residents to deepen their knowledge and strengthen
the collective identity of the cohort, all while advancing the goals of redevelopment.
Community Guides
Community Guides honed their presentation skills, focusing on opportunities to bring updates and information about redevelopment
to outside audiences. They worked together to identify the key themes and lessons learned from the Land Planning workshops,
how to engage donors, interested community members and outside decision makers. Community Guides presented at various
events in the following months, including a State Leaders meeting hosted by Virginia House Delegates David Toscano and Criegh
Deeds and attended by 40 leaders from more than 15 state and local agencies with various ties to Southwood redevelopment.
This group pulled on the strengths of residents who felt called and able to share the story of Southwood in front of large
audiences, recognizing that when advocating for change in their community, no voices spoke more eloquently than those of
the community.
Master Planning
Master Planners continued to meet with architects, engineers and planners throughout the summer to hone the concepts
identified through the initial planning workshops and prepare for the development of the rezoning application. They worked
through various planning sketches to establish density goals for residential blocks (formerly known as Block A), favoring higher
density over less efficient land plans, and developed overarching design principles for non-residential blocks (formerly known
6
as Block B) that would guide conversations with potential developers.
Resident planners felt motivated to learn more about the planning and design process, diving deeper into the intricate and
complicated world of land development. These community members saw the unprecedented opportunity to make sure the
future neighborhood of Southwood represented their aspirations, dreams and vision, and rose to the challenge.
Community Outreach
The Community Outreach committee focused on neighborhood -wide communications and inspiring others to feel as passionately
about redevelopment as they did. The Outreach Committee worked hard to increase knowledge about redevelopment among
Southwood community members. This peer -to -peer leadership style is integral to Habitat's approach to redevelopment,
understanding that a recommendation from a trusted friend and neighbor is more valuable than the endorsement of an outsider.
Outreach committee members received training on the specific skill of door knocking, learning the techniques necessary for
successful one-on-one interactions with friends and neighbors about sometimes difficult and complicated subjects. After training,
resident leaders divided into groups of two and advertised for various monthly community meetings in their neighborhood.
After these door knocking initiatives, redevelopment meeting attendance increased by 30% .
Being natural conveners, residents drawn to the Community Outreach committee were able to share their skills in motivation
and active listening with the larger community, reaching deeper into Southwood and expanding the capacity of Habitat to
engage directly with as many residents of the park as possible.

Building on the vision, vocabulary and leadership skills established through the Land Planning workshop series and subsequent
committee development, these sessions first introduced the rezoning process to resident leaders, and then examined the various
elements of the application to ensure continuity between what was submitted and the goals of the community.
Rezoning was introduced as a process to establish new regulations that would provide a guide and framework for future
development of Phase I, and that these regulations would form the overall character and feel of their neighborhood. Important
decision points and opportunities for interacting with the community, like the public hearings with the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors were discussed, and the proactive public -private partnership between Southwood and the County
was highlighted.
Here, residents formalized their two -block approach, identifying the two distinct areas within Phase I. Block A (now known as
Blocks 1 and 3 - 8) more internal to the site, was desired to be more residential and neighborhood -focused in nature, while

Block B (now known as Blocks 2, 9 - 12), the neighborhood's primary entrance and frontage along Old Lynchburg Road, was
more appropriate for more intensive uses. This rationale guided group activities in which the community discussed various
potential uses and their appropriateness for each block. The community's work established the Use Matrix, with a wide range
of residential uses in all blocks, but the majority of higher intensity non-residential uses restricted to Blocks 10 - 12.
Residents also expressed preference for an interconnected road network with a modified grid that respected the natural terrain
as much as possible while achieving density goals, as well as road section designs that prioritized traffic calming measures and
minimal right of way widths.
Moving from resident -derived concepts to technical drawings and regulatory tables without losing the sense of ownership
or ability for residents to see themselves reflected in this work has resulted in an informed and engaged community with a
sophisticated grasp of these development principles.

Where will Redevelopment Begin?
Two key points became clear in talking with residents about the first phase of redevelopment. One, that the physical and
psychological benefits of starting construction on land not currently occupied by trailers would outweigh the added costs of
building the necessary infrastructure to access this greenfield, and two, that for many community members, inspiration and
belief in the possibility of the future would only come once there was a first village they could see and touch. Embracing these
concepts and honoring the community's insight has meant developing this Zoning Map Amendment request to focus first on
more than 30 undeveloped acres adjacent to the developed portion of Southwood, both to demonstrate Habitat's commitment
to non -displacement and to expedite a first phase of redevelopment.
Walking tours of this forested area equipped residents with an understanding of the land that influenced their approach to
neighborhood design, and brought abstract land development concepts into real, tangible terms. Knowing where redevelopment
will begin has further inspired the belief that this transformation is possible.
Market Day - Expanding Design Input
At the end of the first series of redevelopment workshops, a focus group of resident leaders continued meeting to develop
an activity that would demonstrate to the larger community the experience of planning their future neighborhood.
Building on the final workshop of the series, residents and architects developed an interactive activity for neighbors to design
their own neighborhood block. During Market Day, a spring health and wellness fair for the entire community, residents
lead their neighbors in this design exercise, resulting in 80 community members working in multiple teams to develop
conceptual design solutions for their future neighborhood. A sample of layouts from that design exercise are pictured on

Design Development Workshops
This series focused on further refinement and identification of critical design principles the community wanted to codify in the
request for rezoning. Here the neighborhood moved from an open framework to conceptual designs that will serve as guides
for the future development of individual neighborhoods.
This stage of design began with field trips, with community members visiting local neighborhoods, experiencing the architectural
and engineering concepts they had been discussing in previous workshops in person, evaluating how various design decisions
impacted the overall feel and character of a neighborhood. With these site visits in mind, residents came together for design
intensives, working in small groups to design and redesign areas of the first phase using color coded blocks and scaled model
props. Residents were asked to refine their designs while thinking about the overarching principles they were striving for, like
connectivity, amenities and a mix of housing types.

04. Mix of Housing Types
Family -oriented designs and amenities, like parks or multi -modal paths, and special attention to accommodations for vulnerable
populations, like seniors and those with limited mobility, were interwoven with a wide rage of housing typologies from apartments
to affordable duplexes and townhomes to market rate single family detached options. Multiple groups highlighted the importance
of mixing housing typologies in the same phase, but not necessarily directly adjacent to each other, to promote the meshing
of a newly formed community that would be welcoming to people from all walks of life.
These concept models were then turned into the illustrative drawings and plans featured in this booklet. These are meant to serve
as a high-level guide for future development and future resident cohorts' designs for their neighborhoods, while maintaining the
overall flexibility that will result in an organic, vibrant neighborhood that is responsive to the values of each future resident cohort.

Early Adopter Cohort Development
sr P
J
I
After the initial submission of the rezoning application in February of 2018, resident leaders developed an agenda for a series of
redevelopment meetings that would provide an update and an opportunity for self -identification into the rapidly forming Early
Adopter cohort to the larger Southwood community. Residents identified that it was important to highlight key past milestones
that inspired confidence and faith in commitments to non -displacement and affordability. Residents celebrated the completion
of a Land Swap with the Commonwealth of Virginia which provided Habitat access to an additional 20 acres of undeveloped
land adjacent to Southwood. And they identified the importance of underwriting changes Habitat initiated that would allow
more community members to be able to take advantage of affordable homeownership opportunities. It was also critical to
community leaders to inspire a sense of the gathering momentum around redevelopment, pointing to the three to five year
time horizon by which the first Southwood community members could be moving into their new homes in the first phase of
redevelopment. Overwhelmingly, Southwood resident planners feel that building a First Model Village will be the catalytic event
that inspires future cohorts of Southwood residents to take proactive steps toward homeownership and toward joining their
neighbors in intensive block by block community planning.
Meetings were held on a variety of days at multiple times to provide opportunity to folks regardless of their work schedules
and commitments to learn more about redevelopment. During the two weeks these meetings were held, 80 families were
represented with almost half - 37 out of those that attended - self -identifying as interested in participating in the first phase of
Southwood redevelopment. By the time of this Submittal, some nine months later, an additional 14 families have come forward,
bringing the total number of families voicing interest in being part of the first phase of redevelopment to 51.
One-on-one outreach by Southwood's trained financial coaches and housing counselors began with those residents to better
understand families' housing aspirations and financial situations and to create individualized paths forward toward their family
goals. As future cohorts are established, the process will repeat itself with every family until Southwood redevelopment is complete.

Village by Village Approach
Beginning in the summer of 2019, the Early Adopter cohort will come together to look at a higher level of detail at Block A
(now known as Blocks 1 and 3 - 8), identifying the exact location of the First Model Village, refining the appropriate housing
types to suit the housing aspirations of their specific design cohort, further developing road layouts and right of way design and
developing the civic and amenity components that will identify their neighborhood. This work will culminate in a submission
of the first site plan and subdivision plan for Phase I of Southwood redevelopment in 2019.
This process of resident -led site planning will happen for a minimum of two distinct villages in Block A (now known as Blocks 1
and 3 - 8) of the first phase of Southwood redevelopment, tying into overarching design principles and the framework established
by the rezoning application while allowing each neighborhood to develop organically with a specific resident group in mind.
Moving forward, each new village will set the context for future village development.

Rezoning Future Phases
Current conceptual timelines indicate that the rezoning of the next phase of Southwood redevelopment will occur as early
as 2020, building on the lessons learned from site planning and implementation of the first phase of redevelopment. Inspired
by the work of the Early Adopters, new resident cohorts will form and will engage in the same curriculum, first acquiring the
foundational understanding of the principles of land development, then building on these principles as they define the rules,
regulations and design characteristics of their own rezoning application and then turning these guiding principles into the exact
sites and subdivisions of their future neighborhoods. It will be critical to tap the wisdom and knowledge of the first cohort of Early
Adopters to help refine and market these new planning initiatives, as well as lead and train their peers in the work of land design.

Conceptual Southwood
Master Plan Strategy
Based on the resident led development strategies used for creating new
neighborhoods in Phase 1, future phases of redevelopment throughout
Southwood will follow similar processes. Redevelopment in each future
phase will provide the opportunity for residents to lead the design
process for their own neighborhoods. Similar physical conditions to
those of the blocks and land use designations developed for this Code
of Development exist throughout the whole of Southwood, therefore
\�
future phases will likely follow similar patterns of development. The
illustration of the overall community of Southwood uses color to
show how similar neighborhoods will be redeveloped in future phases.
w •
\�
Residential neighborhoods are envisioned to have similar characteristics
throughout the entire community. Similarly, neighborhood places are
\
envisioned to have similar characteristics. Hickory Road will always have
a specific characteristic as the central spine of the community and thus
may develop with a unique set of characteristics the residents determine.
The presence and clarity of the Neighborhood Center at the intersection
•/
of Hickory and Old Lynchburg Road will continue to deepen as future
development may complete the center by extending it to the intersection
of Bittemut. This area will continue to be envisioned as a village destination,
allowing more non-residential uses and civic attractions. This location
\�
also corresponds to the Albemarle County's Comprehensive Plan for a
neighborhood center.
Density will also vary throughout different sections of the community. The
illustration communicates the variety of density through three gradations
of color. The areas are intended to illustrate how density, intensity of use,
and building regulations will step down from the Neighborhood Center,
to the areas of higher density urban residential, to the neighborhood
edges of lower density residential. As in the Code of Development,
the Neighborhood Places will have similar characteristics as places of
connection to the trail amenity and places to for community gathering.
The illustration also indicates conceptual locations for future roads and
green space and trail amenities.

Key Milestones Relevant to the Southwood Rezoning Proposal
This history represents the extensive outreach and collaboration of Habitat to Southwood residents and
its partnership with the County in preparation for the redevelopment and this rezoning request. Key
milestones include:
• 2007 -- Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) acquired the Southwood Mobile Home Park.
• 2011-- Habitat established core values for the Southwood redevelopment project. The most
important value is non -displacement, while others include increasing the net amount of affordable
housing and using a community -driven approach.
• October S, 2016 -- The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution for a partnership between the
County and Habitat.
• November 2016 -- Southwood redevelopment Action Plan was included as part of the Albemarle
County FY17-19 Strategic Plan, under the 'Revitalize Aging Urban Neighborhoods' priority.
• January 2017 through April 2017-- Habitat led a series of bimonthly workshops through which 70
Southwood residents became versed in planning and design topics from neighborhood and land use
planning to block patterns and road design.
• March 2017 -- Habitat acquired the 20 acre 'exchange parcel' from the Virginia Department of
Conservation and Recreation, giving Habitat the space it needed for redeveloping Southwood. This
would allow Habitat to build in a greenfield area without having to move residents out of their
homes.
• September 8, 2017 -- The Board of Supervisors considered questions from Staff on Southwood and
provided additional input. The Board emphasized that this project should be flexible and adapt over
time and should be directed by residents as much as possible. The Board recommended that a
variety of commercial uses be allowed, determined mainly by residents, and that residents have
opportunities to start and continue their own businesses.
• January 10, 2018--The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the appropriations,
redevelopment team approach, action plan for Phase I and the Performance Agreement for the
Southwood redevelopment project. The appropriations included $400,000 (FY18) for the ZMA
application process and $275,000 (FY19) for the application plan and code of development.
(Link to Documents)
• February 20, 2018 -- The ZMA application for Phase I was submitted by Habitat.
• June 2018 -- Two charrettes were held to provide more clarity and detail for the application from
discussions within the Executive Team, Southwood residents, Habitat staff (including their
consultants BRW Architects, Water Street Studios, Timmons Group Engineers), Board of Supervisors
members, Planning Commission members and County Staff attended. Residents used scaled
wooden and paper pieces to build their concept of Phase I, including housing, parking, roads and
greenspaces. They incorporated different types of housing, both market and affordable, as well as a
mixture of uses. Habitat consultants are currently designing renderings that will use residents'
models from the charrettes, while accounting for environmental and other limiting factors.
• July 2, 2018 -- The ZMA application for Phase I was resubmitted.
• July 26, 2018 -- Habitat and their consultants held a meeting/charrette where they presented the
combined renderings from the results of the June charrettes to the Southwood residents.
• August 7, 2018 -- The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors held a joint work session with
Habitat and Staff. The questions discussed included: the character of each character (formerly
transect) area and how they relate to Neighborhood Model Principles and the Comprehensive Plan;
the location of and percentage of affordable housing; and where additional detail was needed
within the Code of Development and Application Plan. The Planning Commission and Board of
Supervisors had the following recommendations: provide more information on Block B and ensure
that the Code of Development regulations create spaces of human scale that also relate to the
context of adjacent existing neighborhoods; affordable housing should be provided on site or at
least within the County; the percentage of affordable housing will continue to be addressed with
this application and possible supplementary documents; and a high-level concept plan should be
provided to show how the rezoning and existing Southwood neighborhood relate to each other.
• January 7, 2019 -- The ZMA application for Phase I was resubmitted.
• February 12, 2019 -- Joint workshop on the Code of Development with Habitat, BRW, Timmons
Group, and Staff. Addressed feedback from the joint Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors
work session.
• February 21, 2019 -- Second joint workshop on the Code of Development with Habitat, BRW,
Timmons Group, and Staff.
• March 18, 2019 -- The ZMA application for Phase I was resubmitted.
• June 4, 2019- Planning Commission Worksession
• June 19, 2019- Board of Supervisors approval of performance agreement
• June 25, 2019- ZMA application was resubmitted
Due to the scope and complexity of the proposed redevelopment, a multi-disciplinary/functional team
approach was presented to the Board that included teams for the following areas: Planning, Services,
Policy Funding, and Executive team which would be led by the residents' vision for Southwood. See
diagram below.
Team Diagram:
Southwood Rezoning Phase I
Planning Commission Work Session Summary
June 4, 2019
Question 1: What should be the maximum building height allowed per the Code of
Development?
• Additional information is needed to evaluate the height within C-5 of Block B:
1. Balloon test should be completed. Recommend it be raised at different heights to
show the impact along Old Lynchburg Road and Mosby Mtn.
2. Recommend renderings (3D) and sections should be provided that show how the
building(s) would relate to existing Southwood residents, Mosby Mtn, and Old
Lynchburg Rd. and that would take into account topography and vegetation. These
should be added into the Code of Development.
3. Information on how the structured parking would work in this area with the building
and topography.
4. Information on how building height is calculated. (See below for definition of
building height from the ordinance)
Building height of: The vertical distance measured from the level of the curb or the established
curb grade opposite the middle of the front of the structure to the highest point of the roof if a flat
roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, or the mean height level between the eaves and ridge of a
gable; hip or gambrel roof For buildings set back from the street line; the height shall be
measured from the average elevation of the ground surface along the front of the building.
5. Information on the programming for the building to determine appropriateness of
building height.
• General consensus that 65 feet seems too tall for C-5. Neighborhood Center type scale
was recommended- 2-3 stories. Discussion that 4 stories could be considered with a
well -designed building.
• Recommend that the applicant consider that Southwood is at the edge of the
growth/development area for the building heights and intensity of development.
Question 2: Should Old Lynchburg Road be a Framework Street?
• General consensus with Staff recommendation that Old Lynchburg Rd should be a
Framework Street and regulations should apply.
Question 3: Is the proposed recreation substitution request for Block B acceptable? Are
sufficient recreational facilities being provided?
• General consensus that additional active recreational areas need to be provided for the
residents of Southwood. Additional considerations:
1. Space for older children to play.
2. Southwood residents should be involved in the programming of the recreation.
3. Statements on how these spaces could help with the integration of the "new"
residents with the existing Southwood community.
Question 4: Within the Code of Development and Application Plan that have been submitted,
are there aspects that require additional detail, revisions, or clarification?
• In preparation for the Southwood Public Hearing the PC requests the following materials
from the applicant and/or staff preferably 2 weeks but at least 1 week prior to the
meeting:
1. An overall project conceptual plan (showing the multi -phase project area- including
Phase 1 rezoning and the remainder of Southwood) that delineates the approach to
maintaining the integrity of the traditional legacy community.
2. The average AMI of the early adopters and the AMI of the other residents (minus
early adopters). (While AMI is not broken out in this way, early adopters vs other
residents, current AMI data can be found on page 18 of the 'Context and History
Document'.)
3. The anti -displacement strategy for all residents, not just the early adopters.
4. A concept plan articulating the overall residential "mix" location strategy for
affordable and market rate housing and commercial.
5. An Albemarle County school impact analysis.
6. A transportation analysis of Old Lynchburg Road to the south of Southwood
considering its potential long-term (40 years) traffic volume increases due to its
connection to Rt 20 and Rt 29 via Plank Road.
• Information on the affordability of the project. How is the affordable housing being
provided? What are the commitments for affordability for property/land sold to other
developers? What are the requirements and longevity? Are HOA fees factored into the
affordability equation?
• More information on the internal ARB
1. What will the role be?
2. What are the expectations?
3. How will disputes be resolved?
• Are there ways in which the new water and sewer system can serve/help the existing
Southwood community?
• How will the lifestyle of the residents be translated to the new community. One
example: lots of people with tools, bikes, storage areas
• Concern about affordability on a larger scale and how the redevelopment of Southwood
makes the entire area more valuable and could raise home prices over the area.
Assessments would be raised for all in the area and could create less affordability in
other nearby areas.
• Recommendation that the Code of Development be improved. Concerns about
format/layout and that it's difficult to understand/not user-friendly.
• Would like to know more about the ability to retain existing trees and the level of
retention vs. replacement.
• A memo of changes and how concerns were addressed should be provided for the
public hearing.

1. The Property. Southwood Charlottesville LLC, a limited liability company wholly -owned by Habitat, is the
owner of approximately 32.5 acres composed of Tax Map Parcels 07600-00-00-051A0, 09000-00-00-001A0,
and 090A1-00-00-OOIE0, located in the Scottsville Magisterial District of Albemarle County (the "Property'.
2. The Project. Habitat intends to develop a mixed income, mixed use, development on the Property in which
safe, clean, stable, affordable housing will also be provided for rent and for purchase by persons of various
income levels (the "Project'. The Project is also known as "Phase I" of Habitat's intended redevelopment of
the neighborhood commonly known as "Southwood," which is composed of approximately 80 developable
acres that will provide safe, clean, stable, affordable housing within a mixed income, mixed use, development.
3. The Project is Consistent With, Promotes, and Implements the County's Comprehensive Plan. The
Project is consistent with, promotes, and implements several policies, objectives, and strategies of the
Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan:
A. Growth Management Chapter. The Growth Management chapter of the Comprehensive Plan
includes the following statement: "Promoting the Development Areas as the place where a variety of
land uses, facilities, and services exist and are planned to support the County's future growth, with
emphasis placed on density and high -quality design in new and infill development." Strategy lb of
the Growth Management chapter states: "To help promote the Development Areas as the most
desirable place for growth, continue to fund capital improvements and infrastructure and provide a
higher level of service to the Development Areas."
B. Housing Chapter. The Housing chapter of the Comprehensive Plan includes Objective 4: "Provide
for a variety of housing types for all income levels and help provide for increased density in the
Development Areas."
C. Economic Development Chapter The Economic Development chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan includes Objective 1: "Promote economic development activities that help build on the
County's assets while recognizing distinctions between expectations for the Development Areas and
the Rural Area," Objective 6: "Increase local business development opportunities, including support
for entrepreneurial and startup businesses," and Strategy 1a: "Promote new employment activities in
the Development Areas and encourage developers of commercial and industrial projects to
incorporate the Neighborhood Model principles."
D. Affordable Housing Policy. The Affordable Housing Policy in the Comprehensive Plan includes
the following statement: "It shall be the policy of Albemarle County to support affordable housing
for those who live and/or work in the County." Strategy 4 of the Affordable Housing Policy states:
"Expand existing partnerships/programs and create new alliances with the private sector including
nonprofit and for -profit housing providers and lenders."
E. Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods Master Plan.. The Southern and Western Urban
Neighborhoods Master Plan states: "Redevelopment of the Southwood Mobile Home Park should
Attachment A
Draft: June 7, 2019
be as a mixed -income, mixed use community. A mixture of housing types for different income levels
is expected. A retail and/or services area should be provided for the neighborhood." Southwood is
listed as one of three priority areas in the Master Plan.
4. The Project is Consistent With, Promotes, and Implements Habitaes Core Values. The Project is
consistent with, promotes, and implements several core values of Habitat, including the following:
A. Non -displacement Facilitating healthy rehousing choices for each current resident of Southwood.
B. Net Increase in Affordable Housing. Causing a significant increase in the overall local affordable
housing stock responsive to the evolving regional need.
C. Community Engagement Creating a plan of development resulting from extensive interaction
with Southwood residents — taking into account their needs, desires, and abilities — and other
stakeholders in the community, including surrounding neighbors, County officials, and others.
D. Asset -based Approach. Building on existing community assets by being responsive to what is
already good about Southwood, both socially and physically.
E. Self-help Model Basing redevelopment strategies on Habitat's central belief that a "hand up" is
better than a "hand out." Redevelopment will include substantial opportunities for current residents
and other low-income residents of the area to earn the chance to build and purchase Habitat homes
and/or otherwise participate in the rebuilding of the Southwood community.
F. Fiscal Responsibility. Managing the redevelopment process in a financially sustainable way that
allows Habitat to continue with its core mission of building affordable homes into the future.
5. The Investment in the Project. The amount of funding and private investment by Habitat and other
contributors, including the County and the Authority, in the Project is estimated to be $94,000,000.00.
For the entirety of the development and redevelopment of the Southwood neighborhood beyond the
Project, the amount of funding and private investment by Habitat and others is estimated to be
$250,000,000.00.
6. The Animating Public Purposes of this Agreement The animating public purposes for the County to
enter into this Agreement include:
A. Supporting Affordable Housing. Providing funding to facilitate the construction of safe, clean,
stable, affordable housing for persons of various income levels.
B. Promoting Economic Development Promoting the economic development and the increased
vitality of the Southwood neighborhood and the County s southern urban ring.
C. Enhancing the County's Tax Base and Jobs Base. Enhancing the County's tax base and jobs
base by facilitating the redevelopment of the existing Southwood neighborhood into a mixed use
development that, when developed will include commercial uses, affordable housing for persons of
various income levels, and market -rate housing.
7. The Incentives to Enable the County to Achieve the Animating Public Purposes. To further
incentivize and financially support Habitat in its construction of affordable dwelling units within the
Project, the County Board of Supervisors agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
to:
Attachment A
Draft: June 7, 2019
A. Provide Cash Contributions. Appropriate funds to the Authority, to be transferred to Habitat, in
an amount of up to $1,800,000.00 for the construction of affordable dwelling units within the
Project, when specific milestones are achieved by Habitat during Fiscal Years 2020 through 2022, or
later.
B. Rebate the Equivalent of a Portion of the Incremental Increase in Real Property Tax
Revenue. Rebate to Habitat an amount equal to varying percentages of the increase in the
incremental real property tax revenue generated within the Project for a period of 10 years or until
$1,400,000.00 is rebated to Habitat, whichever occurs first, for the construction of affordable
dwelling units within the Project.
These incentives are in addition to the $675,000.00 in funding previously provided by the County
through the Authority pursuant to a Performance Agreement dated January 10, 2018, and $2,250,000.00
through a pair of grants of State and Federal funds awarded to the County and to Habitat for the Project.
8. Habitat's Acceptance of the Incentives and Related Obligations. Habitat agrees to accept the
funding and the rebate of real property taxes from the County and the Authority described in this
Agreement as an incentive for Habitat to construct, or contract to construct, a minimum of 75 Habitat -
built or Habitat -contracted homes qualifying as affordable dwelling units, and to diligently pursue a
minimum of 80 additional affordable dwelling units within the Project, as provided in this Agreement.
Habitat also agrees to accept the obligations stated in this Agreement as a condition to it accepting the
funding and the rebate of real property taxes as described in this Agreement.
9. This Agreement Memorializes the Incentives and the Obligations. The County, the Authority, and
Habitat desire to state their agreement to Habitat's milestones and obligations, and the County's and the
Authority's incentives and obligations in this Agreement.
10. The Relationship Between Affordable Housing and Economic Development. There is a direct
relationship between affordable housing and a positive economic benefit to the County and the region.
A. The Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Assessment. "The Comprehensive
Regional Housing Study and Needs Assessment," prepared by the Central Virginia Regional Housing
Partnership of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (March 2019) (the "Report)
includes the following:
1. A Description of the Regional Economy. In the context of the ability to afford housing, the
Report describes the regional economy as follows: "The regional economy is largely split
between high -wage professions requiring at least a college degree and lower -wage service jobs in
restaurants, retail, hospitality and other sectors. Many service businesses offer only part-time
employment without benefits, often on irregular schedules. Even two or three such jobs are not
enough to afford most local housing. Accessing jobs requires car ownership or lengthy
commutes on public transit, where available." Report, page 66.
2. The State of Housing in the Region. The Executive Summary to the Report details the
regional rental and ownership housing markets and following is a sampling of those details: (i)
housing prices have increased rapidly over the past 20 years and wages have not kept up; (ii)
some of the strongest job growth in the region has taken place in the service sectors where wages
are relatively low and hours are often limited; (iii) a number of factors have contributed to the
rise of rents for older apartments and houses that traditionally would have been affordable to
low and moderate income households; (iv) 9,000 renter households in the City of Charlottesville
and Albemarle County, excluding student households, are paying more than 30 percent of their
income for housing costs, the accepted affordability standard established by the United States
Department of Housing, including over 4,000 renter households that are paying at least half of
Attachment A
Draft: June 7, 2019
their income for housing; (v) the waiting list for Housing Choice Vouchers are estimated to be as
high as 1,866 in the City of Charlottesville and 1,350 in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, and Nelson
Counties, and wait times are estimated to be five to eight years; (vi) approximately 7.5 percent of
the homeowners in the urban localities within the region are spending one-half or more of their
income on housing costs; (vii) long commutes ("drive till you quahfy') add transportation to the
costs of homeownership in the rural localities in the region; (viii) Habitat receives 180 to 205
applications annually from households seeking to invest in building a home; and (ix) the
Albemarle Housing Improvement Program, which provides home repairs for low and moderate
income households, has a waiting list of 292 households in the City of Charlottesville and
Albemarle County that need emergency repairs and rehabilitation for their homes. Report,
Executive Summary, pages 3-7.
3. The State of Housings Impact on the Region's Economy. The Report summarizes the lack
of affordable housing on the region's economy: "These housing problems have many
consequences for the regions economy. Employers report difficulties in recruiting and retaining
workers. Turnover and absenteeism are higher than desirable, in part, because of the burdens of
those long commutes. Those who must recruit workers with specialized skills often find they are
forced to pay higher salaries than their counterparts pay in other parts of the state. Economic
development professionals across the region report difficulties in recruiting new businesses due
to concerns about their ability to move and attract workers to a market with such high housing
costs." Report, Executive Summary, pages 7-8.
B. Other Studies and Reports. Many studies and reports link affordable housing to economic
development. "The Role of Affordable Housing in Creating Jobs and Stimulating Local Economic
Development: A Review of the Literature," prepared by the Center for Housing Policy (2011)
reviews the studies conducted regarding the immediate and long-term economic benefits provided by
affordable housing. In sum, the report fords a direct link between affordable housing and economic
development, concluding that the studies reviewed demonstrate that "development of affordable
housing increases spending and employment in the surrounding economy, acts as an important
source of revenue for local governments, and reduces the likelihood of foreclosure and its associated
costs. Without a sufficient supply of affordable housing, employers — and entire regional economies
— can be at a competitive disadvantage because of their subsequent difficulty attracting and retaining
workers."
11. This Agreement is Contingent Upon, But Not in Exchange for, Approval of ZMA 2018-00003.
This Agreement is contingent upon the County Board of Supervisors approving ZMA 2018-00003
which, as currently proposed, would allow the uses and densities to enable the Project. However, this
Agreement is not, and should not be construed to be, an Agreement by the Board to rezone the Property.
In its consideration of ZMA 2018-00003, the Board may and will exercise its full legislative powers and
discretion as authorized by law.
12. Enabling Authority. The County and the Authority are authorized to enter into this Agreement and to
make the cash contributions and transfers as provided in this Agreement to Habitat pursuant to the
following:
A Virginia Code % 15.2-953. Virginia Code § 15.2-953 enables the County to give funds to any
charitable institution that provides services to residents of the County, that provides housing for
persons 60 years of age or older, and to provide funds to the Authority for the purposes of
promoting economic development.
B. Virginia Code S 15.2-959. Virginia Code § 15.2-959 enables the County to engage in research,
studies, and experimentation in housing alternatives, including the rehabilitation of existing housing
stock and the construction of additional housing.

example, 20 percent, 40 percent, 60 percent, and 80 percent of the area median income established by the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development adjusted by family size) (the "Housing
Mixture Plan'. The Housing Mixture Plan is subject to review and approval by the County Housing
Planner or another County officer designated by the County Executive (the "County Housing Planner').
Habitat must obtain approval of the Housing Mixture Plan before the first final site plan or subdivision
plat within the Project that will include any dwelling units is approved by the County. The County
Housing Planner shall not unreasonably withhold approval of the Housing Mixture Plan. Any
amendment to the Housing Mixture Plan is also subject to review and approval by the County Housing
Planner.
G. Develop and Implement Neighborhood Design Guidelines. Habitat shall develop and implement
neighborhood design guidelines for the Project that are consistent with the Albemarle County
Comprehensive Plan and the Southern and Western Urban Neighborhood Master Plan, or provide for
this in the Code of Development and the Application Plan submitted in conjunction with ZMA 2018-
00003. For purposes of this Agreement, neighborhood design guidelines pertain to matters such as
pocket parks, street lighting, benches, and other elements that pertain to the livability of the
neighborhood (the "Neighborhood Design Guidelines'. If the Neighborhood Design Guidelines are not
addressed in the Code of Development or the Application Plan, they shall be subject to review and
approval by the County Director of Planning or another County officer designated by the County
Executive (the "County Director of Planning'). Habitat must obtain approval of the Neighborhood
Design Guidelines before the first final site plan or subdivision plat within the Project that will include
any dwelling units is approved by the County. The County Director of Planning shall not unreasonably
withhold approval of the Neighborhood Design Guidelines. Any amendment to the Neighborhood
Design Guidelines that is not included in an amendment to the Code of Development or the Application
Plan is also subject to the review and approval by the County Director of Planning.
H. Develop and Implement Minimum External Standards. Habitat shall develop and implement
minimum external standards for ADUs within the Project to ensure that they will blend with market rate
units with respect to materials and style such as roof pitches, foundations, window types, and building
materials (the "Minimum External Standards'). The Minimum External Standards shall be subject to
review and approval by the County Director of Planning or another County officer designated by the
County Executive (the "County Director of Planning'). Habitat must obtain approval of the Minimum
External Standards before the first building permit for any dwelling unit is approved by the County. The
County Director of Planning shall not unreasonably withhold approval of the Minimum External
Standards. Any amendment to the Minimum External Standards is also subject to the review and
approval by the County Director of Planning.
I. Develop and Implement Minimum Internal Standards. Habitat shall develop and implement, in
conjunction with the County Housing Planner or another officer designated by the County Executive
(the "County Housing Planner'), minimum internal standards for ADUs within the Project that may
include, by mutual consent, such standards as those for minimum and maximum square footage,

this Agreement.
6. This Agreement is Contingent Upon Approval of ZMA 2018-00003. This Agreement is contingent
upon the County Board of Supervisors approving ZMA 2018-00003 which, as currently proposed, would
allow the uses and densities to enable the Project. If ZMA 2018-00003 is not approved by the County
Board of Supervisors by June 30, 2020, this Agreement is void.
7. Non -appropriation. The obligation of the County to contribute County Funds as provided in this
Agreement is subject to, and dependent upon, appropriations being made from time to time by the
County Board of Supervisors. Therefore:
A. Non -appropriation is not a Breach. The failure of the County Board of Supervisors to appropriate
County Funds to the Authority, and for the Authority to transfer County Funds to Habitat, or the
County's failure to perform any term or condition pursuant to this Agreement resulting from the
failure of the County Board to appropriate County Funds, is not a breach of this Agreement.

Neighborhood Model Principles Analysis
ZMA201800003 — Southwood Phase 1
Pedestrian All setbacks and building regulations are measured from both framework
Orientation streets (proposed streets) and Old Lynchburg Road. Buildings at or over 40
feet in height in Blocks 6-12, and buildings at or over 3 stories or 45 feet in
the Neighborhood Center Special Area, must have a stepback of at least 15
feet. A stepback is not required for buildings with a front setback of at least
15 feet. Additional building regulations are included to provide a pedestrian -
accessible and pedestrian -scaled environment, including maximum building
footprints and maximum building lengths, with air passage regulations.
All Framework Streets street sections include a 5-foot sidewalk with
adjacent 6-foot planting strip. In locations with access to the trail network, it
may be appropriate to only have sidewalks on one side of the Framework
Street. The proposed trail in Blocks 1 and 2 will provide additional
pedestrian connectivity and meet the County's standards for a Class B-type
2 pedestrian path. Pedestrians have both sidewalks and trails as options to
navigate the development.
Mixture of Uses A mixture of residential and non-residential uses is proposed with this
development. The Blocks vary in intensity of permitted uses and density,
with the highest density and intensity in Blocks 10-12, which include the
designated Center (`Neighborhood Center Special Area'). The intensity and
density transition down through the Blocks. A variety of uses are permitted
in Blocks 3-12, with Blocks 1 and 2 reserved for green space and natural
areas. The proposed uses were developed and vetted by current
Southwood residents, who also decided to locate more intense uses in the
designated Center area.
Neighborhood The Code of Development includes special designations, such as
Centers
neighborhood centers and placemaking locations, which were identified
either in the Comprehensive Plan or by Southwood residents. The Southerr
and Western Neighborhoods Master Plan identifies a Center at the Hickory
Street entrance into Southwood. This area is labeled "Neighborhood Center
Special Area" in the Code of Development and has its own set of
regulations. A mixture of uses is proposed for this area, as well as adjacent
and nearby blocks. This area is intended to have the highest intensity of
uses and highest density. There will be an identifying and placemaking
feature in this Center, such as a soccer field. The uses are intended to
primarily serve the residents of Southwood.
Mixture of
A variety of housing types are allowed in the Code of Development,
Housing Types
including single-family attached and detached, and multifamily. The
and
residential and mixed -use blocks (Blocks 3-12) vary in density. All housing
Affordability
types are permitted in Blocks 3-12. At least two (2) different housing types
must be provided in Blocks 3-11.
This application meets the County's housing policy in the Comprehensive
Plan (Housing Chapter, Strategy 6b) for 15 percent of all units developed
under rezonings to be affordable. There is also a separate performance
agreement, approved by the Board of Supervisors, for additional affordable
units and requirements for the affordable units that above those required
under the County policy.
Interconnected The Application Plan shows the proposed road network, which consists of
Streets and Framework Streets. Additional roads and alleys may be proposed at the
Transportation site planning stage, which will primarily serve to enhance connectivity and
Networks provide parking access for residential units. The proposed road network
provides interconnectivity and does not contain cul-de-sacs. Proposed
future road connections to the existing Southwood neighborhood are shown
in the Code of Development. These include Hickory Street, Wharton Drive,
and Pliny Road.
Blocks 6, 7, 8, and 9 are considered `Neighborhood Places' in the Code of
Development and provide pedestrian connections from the street network
to the trail network. The trail network is proffered and the Biscuit Run Park
master plan shows eventual connections into Southwood.
Multi -modal There are pedestrian networks through proposed sidewalks and trails
Transportation throughout the development. Sidewalks are at least 5-feet wide, and trails
Opportunities must meet County standards. The trail will meet County standards. The
majority of the proposed Framework Streets are local streets where
bicyclists would be able to safely ride within the travel lane. Bike lanes are
optional on these streets and may provided at the site planning stage. A 5-
foot bike lane will be added to Hickory Street on the climbing side, with the
option to also add a bike lane to the downhill side or provide a sharrow
pavement markings.
There is an existing bus stop located within the Southwood neighborhood.
Additional opportunities should be explored for another bus stop to be
located within Phase 1.
Parks,
Blocks 1 and 2 are dedicated to green space. These blocks include
Recreational
protected and preserved environmental features, including preserved
Amenities, and
slopes, stream buffer, and floodplain. There will be a trail network provided
Open Space
through this Blocks, creating connectivity through the development and with
a possible future connection to Biscuit Run Park. This trail will be located
within'% mile of all residential units in this Phase.
Blocks 5-11 require six (6) pedestrian connections from the Framework
Streets to the trail network. These Blocks also require 8,200 square feet of
recreational amenities distributed through the Blocks, with 4,900 square
feet in Blocks 5-8 and 3,300 square feet in Blocks 9-11.
Block 12 includes a 6,500 square foot active use recreational amenity. This
amenity must include a soccer facility. Existing residents identified the
existing soccer field in Southwood as an important feature.
Buildings and The Code of Development regulates building standards by Block. The
Space of maximum building height has been revised to 50 feet or 4 stories, to be
Human Scale more consistent with a neighborhood service center. Buildings are
encouraged to be set close to the street and sidewalk. Larger setbacks are
permitted to allow for additional pedestrian uses and amenities, such as a
patio, courtyard, or plaza. Buildings transition through the Blocks, with the
greater intensity of use and density concentrated in the Blocks closest to
Hickory Street. Buildings adjacent to Framework Streets are required to
have at least one primary entrance facing the Framework Street. An
internal ARB will be established, to provide residents with continued input
into the form of development and architectural standards.
Parking areas with five (5) or more spaces must be relegated from
Framework Streets. Garages in Blocks 5-12 are not permitted to face
Framework Streets. This is consistent with a pedestrian -oriented
development.
Relegated Parking areas with five (5) or more spaces must be relegated from
Parking Framework Streets and provided at the rear of lots whenever possible.
These parking areas must at least be behind the front face of the building
and must be screened. A variety of methods to achieve parking
requirements are permitted in the Code of Development, including
standalone, street, alley, shared, and garage parking. There are
opportunities for reduced parking requirements.
All garages in Blocks 5-12 must be side -loaded or relegated to the rear of
the building, and garages are not permitted to face Framework Streets.
While street -facing garages are permitted in Blocks 3-4, the wall plane of
these garages must be set back at least three (3) feet from the primary
building facade. This arrangement provides for a pedestrian -oriented
environment.
Redevelopment
This first phase of redevelopment for Southwood is located on property that
is currently not developed, therefore, for Phase I, this principle does not
apply. A general concept plan is shown for future phases, including
potential road connections, densities, green space, and uses.
Respecting Disturbances to preserved steep slopes should be avoided whenever
Terrain and possible. All development must meet the standards of Section 18-30.7 of
Careful the Zoning Ordinance. The road network has been designed based on the
Grading and existing grades on the site and to preserve natural areas at the edges of the
Re -grading of site.
Terrain
Clear
This proposal is not adjacent to the Rural Area. However, Old Lynchburg
Boundaries
Road has existing natural characteristics and is tree -lined in this area. A 30-
with the Rural
foot trail buffer is provided along Old Lynchburg Road where it is adjacent
Area
to this proposal. The trail buffer will contribute to the existing character of
the street and replace landscaping that will need to be removed for
development. The trail buffer provides an additional setback from this
street, which has a significant traffic volume and is different in character
from the Framework Streets.
Southwood Housing Mixture Plan
In combination with market rate dwelling units, affordable units provided in Phase 1 of Southwood
redevelopment will be a mixture of owned and rented dwellings with tiers of affordability, ensuring
families across the economic spectrum will have sustainable housing opportunity. Affordable
opportunities will be available to families with incomes between 0% and 80%of the area median income
established by HUD, adjusted by family size.
In partnership with Albemarle County, via a Performance Agreement ratified by the Board of Supervisors
on June 19`h, 2019, Habitat has committed to a minimum of 75 affordable housing units built or
contracted to be built by Habitat in Phase 1, with an additional commitment to pursue award of a
competitive financing application for 80 affordable rental units through Low Income Housing Tax
Credits.
Process
The typology and ownership structure of the 75 Habitat -built or contracted units in Phase 1 will be
determined in direct partnership with families who have self -identified as interested in living in the first
Villages in Southwood. Financial coaching has already begun with more than 70 families to determine
their housing aspirations and begin to financially prepare for purchase or rental of those housing types
identified.
In July and August of 2019, families, equipped with an understanding of their financial capabilities, will
participate with architects and engineers in a series of design charrettes to create the site plan for the
first model village. The housing mix in, and layout of, this village will be decided by the residents, who
will each choose a home to purchase or rent that suits their abilities and aspirations. Mixed in with these
villages will be market rate homes as space permits.
Phase 1 will consist of up to three resident -designed villages. Each subsequent village following Village 1
will follow the same resident -led design process and future resident cohorts will receive the same
preparatory financial coaching.
Unit Types
To ensure a range of affordability, the following unit types and ownership mechanisms are potentially
being pursued as options for Phase 1 of Southwood redevelopment:

Timmons Group has performed a revised traffic analysis in support of the rezoning application for the
redevelopment of Southwood. The original analysis was submitted on October 24, 2018 and VDOT issued
comments on December 20, 2018. This revised analysis incorporates those comments along with a
revision to the proposed development.
The analysis was completed to determine the impact of the traffic generated by the proposed
development on the surrounding roadway network. The site is located south of Route 631(Old Lynchburg
Road) and bifurcated by Hickory Street in Albemarle County, Virginia. See Figure 1 for the site location
(all Figures are located at the end of the report).
The scope of this analysis was developed at two (2) scoping meetings held with Albemarle County and
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) representatives. A copy of the original scoping agreement
is included in Appendix A. At a subsequent meeting, the Sunset Avenue intersection, the 1-64 interchange
ramps and the background developments were added to the scope of the study. As noted above, VDOT
issued comments on December 20, 2018 and a response to those comments is included in Appendix A.
Background Information
The site is currently occupied by 341 existing mobile home units. The proposed development will occur
in the following two phases:
- Phase 1:
o The existing 341 mobile home units will remain
0 300 new dwelling units consisting of:
270 apartments/townhomes
30 single family units
50,000 S.F. of commercial space
• Assumed as 25,000 S.F. of office space and 25,000 S.F. of retail space
Phase 2:
o The existing 341 mobile home units will be replaced by 500 new dwelling units for a
net increase of 159 dwelling units consisting of:
• 143 apartments/townhomes
• 16 single family units

YOUR VISION ACHI-D THROUGH OURS
As discussed and detailed below, the traffic counts indicate the existing mobile homes generate traffic
comparable to typical apartment units and therefore the traffic removed by the removal of the 341 mobile
homes was assumed to be equal to the traffic generated by the addition of 341 new apartments units.
Primary access to the site will be provided by the existing Route 631/Hickory Street intersection, with no
new connections to Route 631. Secondary access would be provided by Hickory Street to Stagecoach
Road to Route 631.
For purposes of this analysis the completion of Phase 1 was assumed in 2024 and Phase 2 in 2030.
In accordance with the scoping meeting, this analysis includes the following intersections:
1. Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road)/Hickory Street (unsignalized);
2. Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road)/Sunset Avenue Extended (unsignalized);
3. Route 631 (5" Street Extended)/Old Lynchburg Road (unsignalized);
4. Route 631 (5" Street Extended)/Stagecoach Road (unsignalized);
5. Route 631 (5" Street Extended)/1-64 EB Ramps (signalized); and
6. Route 631 (5" Street Extended)/1-64 WB Ramps (signalized).
The analysis looks at the study intersections under 2018 existing conditions, 2024/2030 Background
Traffic conditions and 2024/2030 Total Traffic conditions.
The 2024/2030 Background Traffic conditions consist of the following:
1. Existing traffic volumes (2018).
2. 1% annual growth in traffic, compounded annually. The traffic growth was applied to the
mainline Route 631 movements only.
3. Traffic from other approved developments (all developments are assumed to be completed
by 2024):
a. Whittington (40 single-family D.U. and 4 multi -family D.U);
b. Wintergreen Farms (69 single-family D.U.);
c. Timberland Park (80 multi -family D.U.);
d. Sunset Overlook (35 single-family D.U.);
e. Royal Fern (26 single-family D.U. and 30 multi -family D.U.);
f. Fifth Street Place (116 multi -family D.U.);
g. Brookciale (96 multi -family D.U.);
h. 5`h Street Development (27,500 SF commercial retail); and
i. Region Ten Women's Shelter (7,900 SF commercial retail).
The 2024/2030 Total Traffic conditions includes the 2024/2030 Background Traffic volumes and the traffic
that will be generated by the proposed Southwood development.
Existing Roadway Network
Old Lynchburg Road/5`h Street Extended (Route 631) is a 4-lane divided major collector at Hickory Street
and transitions to a minor arterial roadway east of Country Green Road. Old Lynchburg Road has a posted
45 MPH speed limit. For the purpose of this study, Old Lynchburg Road was assumed to run east -west.
Southwood —Traffic Analysis �•�M�

Page 3 of 18 TIMMONS GROUP
YOUR VISION ACHI-D THROUGH OURS
A westbound left turn lane is provided at the intersection of Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street and extra
pavement provides an eastbound de -facto right turn lane.
Hickory Street is a 2-lane undivided local roadway with a posted 25 MPH speed limit. The road connects
Old Lynchburg Road from the southeast to 5" Street Extended in the northeast.
The existing roadway geometry is shown on Figure 2.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes were collected in February and April 2018. The raw traffic
data is included in Appendix B and the peak hours are shown on Figure 3.
The counts indicate the AM peak hour occurs from 7:30-8:30 AM, and the PM peak hour occurs from 5:00-
6:00 PM.
Existing Traffic Capacity Analysis
Capacity analyses were performed to assess traffic conditions for each of the analysis scenarios. The
analysis includes delay, level of service, and 95' percentile queuing. The intersections were analyzed
using SYNCHRO Version 9.1 based on HCM 2010 methodologies with the following assumptions:
• The peak hour factor (PHF) for the overall intersection was obtained from the turning movement
counts (see Appendix B);
• Heavy vehicle percentages for each movement based on the collected traffic data; and
• All other software defaults remain unchanged.
The existing capacity analysis was performed based on the existing lane use shown on Figure 2 and the
existing peak hour counts shown on Figure 3.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 1 and the analysis worksheets are contained in
Appendix C.

Page 5of 18 TIMMONS GROUP
YOUR VISION ACHI-D THROUGH OURS
As shown in Table 1, each of the movements at the Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street intersection
operates at Level of Service (LOS) B or better during both peak hours with minimal to no queueing.
With the exception of the southbound left, each of the movements at the 51h Street Extended/Old
Lynchburg Road intersection operates at LOS C or better during both peak hours with minimal to no
queueing. The southbound left turn operates at LOS E in the AM peak hour and LOS D in the PM peak
hour.
With the exception of the northbound thrudeft movement and southbound approach, each of the
movements at the 51h Street Extended/Stagecoach Road intersection operates at LOS B or better during
both peak hours with minimal to no queueing. The northbound thrudeft movement and southbound
approach operate at LOS E or F in one or both peak hours. It is important to note that these are very low
volume movements; the queues associated with the LOS E and F are a maximum of 28 feet, or just over
one car length.
The 1-64 EB ramps currently operate at an overall LOS E during the AM peak hour and overall LOS F during
the PM peak hour. The 1-64 WB ramps operate at an overall LOS D during the AM peak hour and an overall
LOS C during the PM peak hour.
2024 Background Traffic Volumes
Nine (9) approved developments were included in the background traffic volumes for 2024. The
background site locations, trip generation, and traffic distributions for the nine (9) approved
developments are included in Appendix D. The combined, anticipated traffic from all nine (9) approved
background developments is shown on Figure 4.
A 1% annual growth rate has been applied to all mainline movements only on Old Lynchburg Road/51'
Street Extended over a six -year period (2018 to 2024) to account for growth not included in the approved
background developments. The resulting 2018 existing + growth traffic volumes are shown on Figure 5.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 were then summed to result in the 2024 total background traffic volumes, shown
on Figure 6.
2024 Background Traffic Capacity Analysis
The capacity of the study intersections under 2024 background traffic conditions was analyzed using the
methodologies discussed above, the existing lane geometries shown on Figure 2, the total background
volumes shown on Figure 6, the existing PHF, and the existing heavy vehicle percentages.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 2 and the analysis worksheets are contained in
Appendix E.

Southwood —Traffic Analysis
January 7, 2019 "
Page 7of 18 TIMMONS GROUP
YOUR VISION ACHI-D THROUGH OURS
As shown in Table 2, each of the movements at the study intersections are expected to operate at similar
LOS and queueing to the existing conditions. The 951h percentile queue for the southbound left at the 5"
Street Extended/Old Lynchburg Road intersection exceeds the extents of the storage length during both
the AM and PM peak hours due to the increases in traffic related to the nine (9) approved background
developments.
The 1-64 ramps will continue to operate at deteriorating levels of service with the addition of the approved
background development traffic. The ramp signal timings were held under existing conditions, with no
optimizations.
The analysis indicates that if the approved background development traffic and 1% annual growth rate
occur as forecasted, improvements will be needed along the corridor. Capacity improvements will be
required at the majority of study intersections.
Phase 1(2024) - Proposed Development Trip Generation and Distribution
As noted above, the proposed Phase 1 development will contain 300 new dwelling units consisting of 270
apartments/townhomes, and 30 single family units. Additionally, Phase 1 will contain 50,000 S.F. of
commercial space which was assumed to be split evenly at 25,000 S.F. of office space and 25,000 S.F. of
retail space.
The trips that will be generated by the proposed Southwood development were estimated using the
rates/equations in ITE's Trip Generation Manual, 101h edition and are shown on Table 3.
As shown in Table 3, Phase 1 will generate 223 AM peak hour trips (93 in and 130 out), 301 PM peak hour
trips (161 in and 140 out), and 3,564 average daily trips.
The trips generated by the proposed development were distributed to the roadway network based on the
existing travel patterns, the nature of the use, and the previously completed traffic studies.
The following residential directional distributions were assumed
- To/From the East on Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road/5" Street Extended) — 90%
- To/From the North on Old Lynchburg Road —10%
The following commercial/retail directional distributions were assumed:
- To/From the East on Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road/5" Street Extended) — 90%
- To/From the North on Old Lynchburg Road — 5%
- To/From the West on Old Lynchburg Road — 5%
The directional distributions were then applied to the study intersection as shown on Figure 7 for the
residential portion and Figure 8 for the commercial portion.
The site trip distribution percentages shown on Figures 7 and 8 were applied to the trip generation shown
in Table 3 to distribute the Phase 1 new trips to the surrounding roadway network. The resulting Phase 1
site -generated trips are shown in Figure 9.

1. Residential trip generation assumes 10% of the units will be single family dwelling units. All others will be apartments/townhomes.
2. ITE includes townhomes and apartments in the same category with the 10th edition.
3. The overall development (Phase 1 + Phase 2) is capped at 5,000 daily trips. To ensure maximum flexibility, Phase 1 trips were
assumed to be split evenly between residential and commercial uses.
4. Phase 2 consists of 500 total units but will replace the existing 341 units currently on site for a net increase of 159 units.

2024 Total Future Traffic
The 2024 total background traffic volumes (Figure 6) were combined with the site -generated trips (Figure
9) to yield the 2024 total traffic future volumes shown on Figure 10.
2024 Total Future Traffic Capacity Analysis
The operational capacity of the study intersections under 2024 total future traffic conditions was analyzed
using the methodologies discussed prior, the existing lane geometries shown on Figure 2, the future
volumes shown on Figure 10, the existing PHF, and the existing heavy vehicle percentages.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 4 and the analysis worksheets are contained in
Appendix F.
As shown in Table 4, each of the movements at the study intersections continue to operate at similar LOS
and queueing to the background conditions.
All movements at the main entrance at the Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street intersection will operate
at LOS A or B in both peak hours. The existing westbound left turn lane on Old Lynchburg Road will
adequately accommodate the 951h percentile queue.

2030 Background Traffic Volumes
To develop 2030 background traffic volumes, as discussed above, in addition to the nine (9) other
developments under construction, a 1% annual growth rate has been applied to all through movements
on Old Lynchburg Road/51h Street Extended over a twelve-year period (2018 to 2030). The resulting 2018
existing +growth traffic volumes are shown on Figure 11.
Figure 4 (approved background development traffic) and Figure 11 were then summed to result in the
2030 total background traffic volumes shown on Figure 12.
2030 Background Traffic Capacity Analysis
The capacity of the study intersections under 2030 background traffic conditions was analyzed using the
methodologies discussed above, the existing lane use shown on Figure 2, the total background volumes
shown on Figure 12, the existing PHF, and the existing heavy vehicle percentages.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 5 and the analysis worksheets are contained in
Appendix G.
As shown in Table 5, each of the movements at the study intersections will continue to operate at similar
LOS and queuing as in 2024 Background conditions. The 95" percentile queue for the southbound left at
the 51h Street Extended/Old Lynchburg Road intersection continues to lengthen and exceeds the extents
of the storage length.
The 1-64 ramps will continue to operate at deteriorating levels of service with the addition of the approved
background development traffic. The ramp signal timings were held under existing conditions, with no
optimizations.
As noted under 2024 background conditions, the analysis indicates that if the approved background
development traffic and 1% annual growth rate occur as forecasted, improvements will be needed along
the corridor. Capacity improvements will be required at the majority of study intersections.

Phase 2 (2030) - Proposed Development Trip Generation/Distribution
As noted above, the proposed Phase 2 development will replace the existing 341 mobile home units with
500 new a pa rtment/town homes and single-family dwelling units. The existing traffic counts at the main
site entrance (Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street) were compared to the ITE Trip Generation Manual data
for both mobile home park and a pa rtment/town homes. It is important to note that existing mobile homes
have a secondary access point via Hickory Street to Stagecoach Road to Route 631.
As shown in Table 6, at the primary entrance point only, the existing mobile home park generates 61%
more trips in the AM peak hour and approximately the same number of PM peak hour trips as compared
to ITE mobile home park data. It should be noted that the ITE data for mobile home parks is extremely
limited (only 1 study).
When compared to ITE apartment/townhome data, at the primary entrance point only, the existing
mobile home park generates 7% and 13% fewer trips in the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.
As noted above, it assumed that approximately 20% of the site traffic will utilize the secondary access
point.
As shown in Table 6, the existing mobile home park generates traffic comparable to the ITE data for
apartments/townhomes. Therefore, the removal of the 341 mobile homes was assumed to be equal to
341 new apa rtment/town homes units from a traffic generation perspective.
The existing 341 mobile home units will be replaced by 500 new dwelling units for a net increase of 159
dwelling units. For purposes of the analysis, it was assumed the additional units will consist of 143
apartments/ townhomes, and 16 single family units. The trips that will be generated by Phase 2 of the
Southwood development were estimated using the rates/equations in ITE's Trip Generation Manual, 10`h
edition and are shown on Table 7.
As shown in Table 7, Phase 2 of the proposed development will generate 83 AM peak hour trips (19 in and
64 out), 98 PM peak hour trips (62 in and 36 out), and 1,233 average daily trips.
The trips generated by the proposed development were distributed to the roadway network according to
the directional distributions discussed prior (see Page 8).
The site trip distribution percentages shown on Figures 7 and 8 were applied to the trip generation shown
in Table 7 to distribute the new trips to the surrounding roadway network. The resulting Phase 2 site -
generated trips are shown in Figure 13.

Source: ITE Trip Generation, 10th Edition.
1. Residential trip generation assumes 10% of the units will be single family dwelling units. All others will be apartments/townhomes.
2. ITE includes townhomes and apartments in the same category with the 10th edition.
3. The overall development (Phase 1 + Phase 2) is capped at 5,000 daily trips. To ensure maximum flexibility, Phase 1 trips were
assumed to be split evenly between residential and commercial uses.
4. Phase 2 consists of 500 total units but will replace the existing 341 units currently on site for a net increase of 159 units.

2030 Total Future Traffic
The 2030 total background traffic volumes (Figure 12) were combined with the Phase 1 and 2 site -
generated trips (Figure 9 and Figure 13) to yield the 2030 total future traffic volumes shown on Figure 14.
2030 Total Future Traffic Capacity Analysis
The capacity of the study intersections under 2030 total future traffic conditions was analyzed using the
methodologies discussed above, the existing lane geometries shown on Figure 2, the future volumes
shown on Figure 13, the existing PHF, and the existing heavy vehicle percentages.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 8 and the analysis worksheets are contained in
Appendix H.
As shown in Table 7, each of the movements at the study intersections would continue to operate at
similar LOS and queueing to the background conditions.
All movements at the main entrance at the Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street intersection will operate
at LOS B or better in both peak hours. The existing westbound left turn lane on Old Lynchburg Road will
adequately accommodate the 951h percentile queue.

Conclusions
The analysis indicates that if the approved background development traffic and 1% annual growth rate
occur as forecasted, improvements will be needed along the corridor. Capacity improvements will be
required at the majority of study intersections.
The proposed development of Southwood will add some traffic to the corridor but will not cause any new
intersection to fail and/or queues to extend beyond the available storage when compared to background
conditions.
All movements at the main entrance at the Old Lynchburg Road/Hickory Street intersection will operate
at LOS B or better during both peak hours. The existing westbound left turn lane on Old Lynchburg Road
will adequately accommodate the projected 95`h percentile queue.
