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.

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.

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, .1.T.

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?

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. 2 Thanks, .1.'1'.

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 Table 12 Albemarle County Optimal Complementary Targets Industry Title NAICS National Projected Average Five-Year Job Earnings Growth Health Services Nursing Care Facilities 623110 $35,793 11% Residential Care Facilities 623990 $34,041 10% Continuing Care Retirement Communities 623311 $31,127 17% Arts,Sports,Media Graphic Design Services 541430 $46,154 25% Spectator Sports 711219 $15,644 16% Independent Artists,Writers,and Performers 711510 $21,291 9% Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers 713940 $15,189 15% Promoters of Performing Arts,Sports,and Similar 7113 $35,695 11% Events Source.Economic Modeling Specialist,Younger Associates Table 13 Albemarle County Optimal Health Services Target Descriptions NAICS Title Code Description 623110 Nursing Care Facilities This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing inpatient nursing and rehabilitative services.The care is generally provided for an extended period of time to individuals requiring nursing care.These establishments have a permanent core staff of registered or licensed practical nurses who,along with other staff,provide nursing and continuous personal care services. 623990 Residential Care Facilities This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing residential care.These establishments also provide supervision and personal care services 623311 Continuing Care Retirement This U.S.industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in Communities providing a range of residential and personal care services with on-site nursing care facilities for(1)the elderly and other persons who are unable to fully care for themselves and/or(2)the elderly and other persons who do not desire to live independently.Individuals live in a variety of residential settings with meals,housekeeping,social,leisure, and other s - - is residents in dail liv" Source:U.S.Census Bureau
