Allowable uses- I understand the intent of this note to indicate housing types that will be permitted. Uses must be listed consistent with Section 19.3.1. Also, is there a commitment to a minimum of two housing types consistent with the project narrative? If so, that should be added to this notes section. Rev 1 Partially addressed. I don't think the intent is to limit all uses in PRD, just to indicate housing types. To avoid confusion as to whether class A home occupations and other uses are allowed, the note still needs to be revised. Staff will suggest alternative wording. 2. Building Requirements- Max front setbacks in the zoning ordinance are 25', not 35'. Is the intent to subdivide these townhouse lots or not? If so, setbacks will need to be measured according from public or private streets. 3. Building Architecture- The building architecture note is referencing Rio Rd. Should this be updated to Proffit and Worth Crossing. 4. Greenspace/Openspace-Greenspace is a term only applicable to NMD districts. Eliminate all use of the word Greenspace on the application plan. PRD requires 25% common open space which is 0.85 acres and Section 4.16 requires minimum recreational areas and recreational facilities within that common open space. Please use those three terms instead both in the notes and on Sheet 1. Also, please list out rec requirements instead of a narrative form. The proposed amenities (list below) do not meet the minimum requirements for up to 102 units. Min. 4,000SF recreational grass Feld Min. 3,500 SF tot lot Min 500 SF plaza/meeting area with a gazebo Section 4.16 requires the following for 102 units: Two tot lots a minimum of 2,000 SF each 30x30 half court basketball The Planning Director may make certain substitutions administratively but reductions can only be approved through the special exception process. The proposed rec field and plaza area could substitute for the basketball court if approved. The two tot lots could be combined and the one proposed increased to 4,000 to meet minimum requirements. The minimum rec. equipment must be provided for two tot lots. Rev. 1- Partially addressed. While the reference to greenspace has changed to common open space, the recreation comment has not been fully addressed. The plan does not demonstrate ordinance minimums can be provided. It appears based on the note on the plan you may be seeking substitutions at site plan, but not waivers of the minimum requirements. Please clarify Also, I don't believe adjacent to Proffitt Road is the best location for the tot lot. NUTIU'fA_14:1 :1 u1_1 N 1 Wel tiel 401 McIntire Road, Suite 228 1 Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 From: Johnathan Newherry To: Ben Hol Cc: Roger Johnson Subject: RE: Transmittal: ZMA2021-6 Maplewood - RESUBMISSION Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2022 10:26:45 AM Hi Ben, Thanks for the reminder. Here are comments from Economic Development: The Economic Development Office has no comment on the specifics of this proposal. However, the conversion of land from employment -based zoning to residential zoning is generally incongruent with Project ENABLE (the County's economic development strategic plan). Staff recommends that future comprehensive planning replace the loss of any employment -based land if this acreage is rezoned to serve another purpose. I will place this comment in CV.

Attached is the applicant response letter. Revised plans dated 12-13-21 may be found at the link above. Comments were due 1.7.22. The application was previously managed by Mariah but I've taken this one over. Please submit comments when you are able. Thank you, Ben Holt, AICP Senior Planner Albemarle County 434-296-5832 ext. 3443 ALBEMARLE COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT— Information from Service Providers To be filled out by ACSA for ZMA's and SP's 1) Is this site in the jurisdictional area for water and/or sewer? Yes 2) What is the distance to the closest water and sewer line, if in the jurisdictional area? Sewer on site. Water along Worth Xing. 3) Are there water pressure issues which may affect the proposed use as shown on plan? Water pressures in the area are high. A pressure reducing valve for each building will be needed. 4) Are there major upgrades needed to the water distribution or sewer collection system of which the applicant and staff should be aware? Proposed buildings are in conflict with existing sewer. The sewer main located on this parcel collects flow from the North Fork Sewer Pump Station. This could be an involved design and relocation for proposed building layout. 5) Are there other service provision issues such as the need for grinder pumps? N/A 6) Which issues should be resolved at the SP/ZMA stage and which issues can be resolved at the site plan/plat stage? A proposed sewer main alignment should be presented to ACSA for review relatively early in the site plan process. 7) If the project is a large water user, what long term impacts or implications do you forsee? 8) Additional comments?
