J T,
I feel better about the assisted living valuation since is an upscale property and I would guess we have a market for that
here.
The office values of the multi-use buildings are more in line with the stand alone building value now that the size is twice
as large. The value might be a little high still, but not stratosphere high anymore.
The stand-alone office building value would of course depend on the actual size built.
The townhouses have garages and that adds even more to a difference from the condo/apartments (or are they
residential lofts). They should not be valued the same.
I hope this helps.
Pete

Hi Pete,
It looks like I may have misspoken earlier about the square footages of non-residential space in Buildings A and B.
The applicant has provided their presentation materials for tonight,which succinctly summarizes those specific square
footages(see attached and below).
Do you think these square footages provide a more reasonable estimation of tax revenue?
Again,we appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Hey Pete,
This webpage has the physical addresses and links to other similar assisted living facilities developed by the same
company under consideration by Oakleigh: http://www.blakeliving.com/contact/
Maybe these can be comps for their location here?

Dear All:
Would it behove us to have a separate vote for each scenario A and B?
It seems that this approach would allow the PC the opportunity to discuss/vote point by point for each scenario
and thus give a more specific set of recommendations for the BoS.
Could you three discuss this and provide appropriate direction to the PC at the meeting this evening?
Thank you,

RE SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY — OAKLEIGH (ZMA201600015)
Our Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce has a long record as a steadfast
advocate for continually improving Albemarle and Greater Charlottesville as an age-friendly
community. Much progress towards this objective has been accomplished through local
governmental efforts and the efforts of many of our Chamber members including the Jefferson Area
Board for the Aging, the Senior Center, Alzheimer's Association, their Chamber member private
enterprise partners, and others. Still, the challenge towards continual improvement remains.
The University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service cites aging is a
leading demographic challenge facing our Commonwealth of Virginia; particularly in our Greater
Charlottesville communities. Furthermore, the Alzheimer's Association of Central & Western
Virginia cites a growing demand within our region, for assisted living and memory care services.
Our Chamber standing policy is to support Chamber member private development project
proposals that meet established governmental goals, in which our Chamber is in agreement.
Such is the case with the proposed Oakleigh project(ZMA201600015). The Oakleigh
project, as cited in the professional staff report recommending the project's approval, aligns with the
County Comprehensive Plan and County Economic Development goals. Oakleigh will provide a
range of quality, affordable, senior living residential options, including assisted living and memory
care. These facts and our advocacy prompts our Chamber to respectfully request your favorable
consideration of the Oakleigh senior housing facilities.
-2 —
Suzanne Brooks,an active committed Chamber member and a private investor in the
Oakleigh project, brought this appealing opportunity to my attention several weeks ago. Our
Chamber regularly seeks out Suzanne's perspective and thoroughly trusts her civic and business
judgment.
Of course as we all know, along with her business success, Suzanne has a long
demonstrated leadership and commitment to our community; including service as our Chamber
Chairwoman (1998). Suzanne's citizenship, with her family,was recognized with our Chamber
Paul Goodloe McIntire Award (1994). At her core, Suzanne believes in private enterprise assisting,
often leading the way, to achieve myriad civic and community needs. Her assessment of the
proposed Oakleigh management firm, Blake Management Group, is that they possess a recognized
record of managing well run, caring facilities.
The Oakleigh project addresses the challenges our area faces in our efforts and shared goal
of advancing further towards a continuing, improving age-friendly community.
Our review of the Oakleigh project application and site, suggests that this project at its
Woodburn Road/ Rio Road location, can be attractive and successful. The applicant's proffer offer,
reflective of recent Commonwealth of Virginia and Albemarle County statutory modifications,
remains a generous proffer offer.
Once approved, constructed and in operation, we understand that Oakleigh will generate
70 full-time-equivalent jobs, some of which will fit well within our Charlottesville Works Initiative's
program for the pressing need for Certified Nursing Assistant positions.
Oakleigh will also generate total Albemarle tax revenues of more than $260,000 annually.
Thank you for your consideration of our Chamber perspective. Our Chamber looks forward
to your thoughtful consideration and favorable action regarding Oakleigh.
Thank you.

Subject: RE: Community Meeting Info for Oakleigh
Hi Kim,
Thanks for your reply. Let me provide the most up-to-date information on these topics since the community meeting
took place.
• Layout:Yes, it is correct that the application plan shown on Sheet 6A was the layout discussed at the community
meeting. I believe this plan was the focus of the meeting because it showed the proposed changes to the plan
that was approved in the 2007 rezoning and 2010 site plan process.The layout on Sheet 6B is actually not a new
layout--in fact, it's the same layout shown on their existing approvals from 2007 and 2010-- however, the
current request is seeking to amend the code of development for this design.
At the time of the community meeting, it was not yet clear that their proposal included both layouts, where 6A
shows the plan with an assisted living facility and 6B requests to develop under the old layout with an updated
code of development.
• Emergency Access:The potential for an emergency access shown through the Berkeley neighborhood was
added to the plan before it was discovered that the 50' right-of-way in this area had been vacated.The vacation
plat recorded in DB 878, PG. 357 eliminated this area as a possibility for the developer to establish another point
of access. As a result, the staff report considers the required connection to the Charlottesville Health and
Rehabilitation Center site a favorable factor because it would improve Fire/Rescue access for both sites.
Fire/Rescue has long desired a second point of access for the CHRC site because right now there is only one way
in and one way out of that site.
• Stormwater: Staff from the Engineering Division and the Department of Facilities and Environmental Services
expect that development of the site would decrease impacts to the Berkeley subdivision area. Right now, much
of the uncontrolled sheet flow I mentioned on Friday goes toward the Berkeley subdivision. A post-development
scenario would install stormwater controls where none currently exist.Therefore, the expectation is that there
would be less impact post-development than what is currently occurring with the existing vacant site.
I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Community Meeting Info for Oakleigh
Thank you Mr. Newberry. I appreciate the fact that staff where able to revisit this site enlight of extensive proposed
changes. I believe Mr. Ray only presented the plans under scenerio 6A at the time of his public presentation back in
September when neighbors of the Berkeley were able to learn about his proposal. Scenerio 6B was not presented which
shows development much closer to homes within the Berkely subdivision. Also, it seems that on his 6A plan there is a
proposed emergency access that would enter the Berkeley neighborhood. Is this correct?
Would the stormwater controls be adequate to reduce impacts on the Berkeley neighborhood properties?
Thank-You,
Kim Swanson

Subject: RE: Community Meeting Info for Oakleigh
Hi Kim,
Your highlighted question below is a good one (and also complex). Environmental Services made a site visit yesterday
and then we got together today to discuss the proposal in more detail.
To answer your question about the projected impact on the County's BMP, I've split your question into two parts:
1. "Less erosion and sediment controls" --The applicant initially requested to eliminate the proffer requiring 80%
sediment removal rate for erosion and sediment control because they believed it had been met with the
approval of their 2010 site plan (where the County approved an E&S plan showing the 80% removal rate).This
E&S plan will soon expire (or could be amended in the future), so the County is not supportive of removing this
proffer. My understanding is that the applicant does not object to amending their request to keep this proffer
going forward.
2. "reduce the number of trees onsite" --Currently,there are no stormwater controls onsite and uncontrolled
sheet flow goes off the back of the site. Development of the site would result in stormwater controls where
none currently exist and these control measures would also be subject to state standards.Those standards
require the applicant to demonstrate "adequate conveyance" at a standard that assumes the site to be
"forested in good condition." Conveyance beyond a 1% impact would not be permitted.
With all of the information in mind, it is important to recognize that the stormwater from this site would impact the
County's BMP because it would flow into it.That said,we believe the proffer and adherence to existing state standards
during the site plan review would mitigate that impact as much as possible.
Does this information answer your question? If you would like to discuss it further, please let me know and I can get you
in touch with the right staff.

Dear Mr. Newberry,
I see that the developer of the Oakleigh project has made some substantial changes to their site plan
since their public meeting in September. Can you send a link to the newly submitted site plans? Mr.
Ray assured members of the public in attendance that plans for managing the Stormwater water would
be to State standards and the County would administer. In speaking with the private engineer for the
project he indicated that Stormwater is expected to flow off the the parcel ultimately towards the
County owned Stormwater pond on Four Season drive.
How will reducing the number of trees on site and less erosion and sediment controls for the parcel long
term impact the County BMP?

Delivered via electronic mail
Dear Members of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission:
As the Executive Director of the Senior Center since 1999, and a founding member of the new
Charlottesville Area Alliance: Working together for an age friendly community, I am well aware
of the booming population of seniors in our community. Indeed, the Weldon Cooper Center for
Public Service, aging is the number one demographic issue Virginia faces and it is particularly
acute in the Albemarle and Charlottesville.
With a growing and aging population, we must provide more housing opportunities,particularly
in the urban ring where people are closer to services and programs. We also need a wide variety
of housing options from independent to assisted living to memory care and continuing care
communities.
We must allow the private sector to meet these growing needs for those of us who already live
here and will age in community. Few of us will want to move away as we age and we want and
adequate senior living options here in Albemarle County.
I encourage Albemarle County to give serious consideration to the re-zoning of Oakleigh on
West Rio Road. It is tax map 45,parcel 26A.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. The best way is via email,
peter@seniorcenterinc.org or via my direct line, 974-4577.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Thompson
Executive Director
Target Outlook
Select manufacturing/processor industries in the Agribusiness, Food Processing& Technology
industry group are expected to experience solid growth driven by demand from: 1) new
product innovations that focus on health, 2) increased market for pre-cooked valued-added
convenient products,3) appeal of smaller"non-industrial"niche food producers and 4)
consumer desire to be"closer"to the sources of their food and processors desire to be closer to
inputs.
Complementary Targets: Health Services and Arts, Design, Sports & Media
The complementary targets that have been identified are a set of industries that boost
attraction to the area,add to quality of life factors for residents and potential newcomers and
help support a vibrant,sustainable,urban community.The Health Services targets emphasize
the support of an aging population and relocating retirees,whereas the Arts, Design,Sports&
Media targets can appeal particularly to young people looking for a diverse and active
community.
Because of the types of services offered,the complementary targets provide employment
opportunities for a lower skilled workforce,a group often overlooked in some of the higher
wage targeted groups.The select target sectors are listed in Table 10 and described in Table
11.
Rationales for the Health Services target sectors include:
• A logical off-shoot of the Biomedical and Medical Devices industry
• Complementary to the University health care system
• An opportunity for the Not Employed group who seek medical related training,but do
not possess highly technical skill sets
• Support for aging population and relocating retirees
Rationales for the Arts, Design and Sports&Media include:
• Complementary to the attractive quality of life in the region
• Proximity to the regional core,Charlottesville,increases attraction of artists
• Some specialized sectors related to the group already exist in Albemarle County and in
Charlottesville
• Complementary to University student population
• Complementary to and supportive of the Visitor Industry group
• Large number of annual visitors to the region can provide some of the revenue and
support base for firms in this group
• Can be a complementary element and continuing contributor to the regional quality of
life
