Most applications for a Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission and one public
hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal
advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore,at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.

RE: Oakleigh: Rezoning (ZMA201600015); Comment Response Letter
Dear JT:
Regarding the comments received dated September 9, 2016 from you on the Oakleigh Rezoning
Amendment application, please find our responses below.
Zoning and Planning:
1. Comments related to the appropriate compliance issue...
According to the assisted living representative and other health care attorneys these types
tr of facilities do not require a Certificate of Public Need from Virginia only licensure from the
Virginia Department of Social Services and local zoning approval.
2. Comments related to the justification for the need given the building size...
This issue came up during our ARB Advisory Review meeting. The assisted living group
—tr. explained that the building footprint is the size shown to make their business model more
economically efficient and reduce the number of floors. On the contrary, if this building was a
smaller footprint, then more floors would be needed as well as more staff. As shown, the
building can be nestled behind the large existing trees and relate better to the surrounding
character of the neighbor and rest of the development. Furthermore, having only 2 stories
allows residents to enjoy greater safety, ability to interact in more programming ancTiTgrthe
ability to better watch and keep safe the residents within the courtyards and on each floor.
3. Comments related to the Proffers...
This issue has been addressed by Williams Mullen and includes wording that came out of
the ARB Advisory Review meeting held on September 19, 2016. Revisions have been
submitted to the County Attorney for review.
4. Comments related to the Neighborhood Model...
This revision removes the outdated principle titled "Neighborhood Friendly Streets and
Paths"with the "Multi-Modal Transportation Opportunities" principle. This can been found on
Sheet 5 under General Project Information: Principles of the Neighborhood Model.
5. Comments related to the Conceptual Plan...
On Sheet 1, the application number has been revised and a revision date has been added.
On Sheet 4, the number of Townhomes on the different charts have been coordinated.
On Sheet 5, we have updated the Neighborhood Model Principles. We have replaced the
word "shall"to allow greater flexibility. Letters C,D and E have been removed under the
Architectural Standards. Footnote 3 has been updated per your request. Footnote 4 has
been removed and it's reference. The Front Lot Lines column in the table titled Yard
Requirements by Block has been removed.
As discussed, the reason for the discrepancies is due to how the tables are laid out. Some
state specifics while others state ranges. According to the assisted living representative

there are expecting to have 120 total units which equates to 132 beds. The Code of
Development is intended to allow flexibility and anticipate possible changes in the future.

addressed during the site plan review.

1. Require a secondary entrance to Block V.
We have meet and presented concepts on how we could address this issue. It appears
Fire/Rescue can be satisfied.
2. Requested a turn-around or connection for Block IV.
After discussing this with Robbie Gilmer he is comfortable removing this request if we
agree to sprinkle the townhome units. The client has indicated this is acceptable.
ARB:
Have no objections to the application at this time. It was a 5:0 vote in favor of the project.
Zoning:
Have no objections to the application.
