Application Plan/General Development Plan for ZMAs a. Show Blocks on Application plan as noted in COD. b. For the Civic spaces/amenities, along with the existing note please make reference to the spaces complying with 20A.9c requirements. 2. Proffers/COD (ZMAs) Code of Development 1. Section 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 a. Consider labeling the Sieg Property as the "Development". There are multiple references to "within Sieg" or 'within the Sieg community' or "the Sieg Neighborhood" that could be replaced by "the Development" b. Table 2 i. What does the ' mean in the Civic/Parks column? c. Table 4 i. Should there be bike rack requirement also for residential? Maybe calculated by a range of units provided? Something like 1 bike space for every 20 units or whatever may be deemed an appropriate number. Zoning Review Comments for ZMA2022-00002 ii. Does using the same labeling of areas as the Comp Plan Make sense (Urban Density Residential, Regional Mixed Use)? Think about calling these something different in the COD 2. Section 2.3 a. Table 5 and Table 6 — i. Residential Uses table, 1. Please call "Multiple -family dwellings" Multifamily dwellings 2. Please change the names of the uses in the table to match the appropriate use listed in Section 20A.6 (2-13) including the supplemental regulations reference, with the following exception 3. No need to include #7 Tourist lodgings as that is a Homestay. 4. Class B Home Occupations generally require a SP, please consider requiring and SP for that use. If the intent is to keep class Bs as a by right use, then please include a justification for that. 5. Please consider using the BR, SP, SE, and N designations in the table. ii. Non -Residential Uses table, 1. Think about consolidating all uses into one USES table (combine Table 5 and 6) and consolidating certain uses into one use, like all of the sales and services into 'Retail sales and service" Office uses into "Office/R&D/Flex" etc. See the table below for examples. You can keep the ones that do not fit into any specific category like "Car Wash" etc. If this is the way you proceed, then please include the note at the bottom. 2. Please consider using the BR, SP, SE, and N designations in the table. Zoning Review Comments for ZMA2022-00002 This table layout with general to specific uses has worked well with other recent NMDs.

Reference to uses not otherwise defined or listed in this Code of Development shall be defined as listed first, in he Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance or second, in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. If no definition of the use is provided (Code of Development, Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan) then such use must be officially ctermined by the zoning administrator, after consultation with the director of planning, to be permitted in a articular Block pursuant to subsection 8.5.5.2(c)(1). Zoning Review Comments for ZMA2022-00002 b. Consider adding this note to Table 6 or the combined Table 5/6 i. Reference to uses not otherwise defined or listed in this Code of Development shall be defined as listed first, in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance or second, in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. If no definition of the use is provided (Code of Development, Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan) then such use must be officially determined by the zoning administrator, after consultation with the director of planning, to be permitted in a particular Block pursuant to subsection 8.5.5.2(c)(1). "BR'_ "By -right" "SP" _ "Special Use Permit" "SE" _ "Special Exception" "N" _ "Not Permitted" 3. Section 2.4.1 a. Reference is made to Table 5 listing the allowable densities. I think it should be Table 7. 4. Section 2.4.2.1 and 2.4.2.2 a. For Table 8 i. Front setback, exceptions to maximum. Please explain what is meant here, are there anticipated exceptions? Is it similar to what is allowed in Section 4.19 for administrative allowances because of utilities, etc? b. For Table 9 The Garage setbacks refer to Figure 9, 1 think it is Figure 10. Consider moving Figure 10 to this section. If that is the case then renumbering would be wise. ii. Will there bean anticipated pattern of buildings that will create any "canyon effect" on the streets? If not consider removing the stepback requirements. 5. Section 2.5.2 Buffers a. Label the referenced areas for the buffers on the application plan b. Table 10/Figure5 i. Identifying the three buffers with different labels/colors of green so that it is clear what area applies to each buffer description. 6. Section 2.5.3 Parks and Civic Spaces a. Consider adding the following to the third sentence "The Civic Spaces shall include "some combination of the following," ..."as noted in the summary in Table 11." Remove last sentence. Zoning Review Comments for ZMA2022-00002 7. Section 2.9.3. a. The statement is made that the exact location of this feature will be determined at site plan. Does this mean that the proposal would potentially move from Block 3? 8. Section 2.10 Parking a. I believe that the Relegated Parking Guidelines table should be Table 13 not Table 11. 9. Section 3.3 Streetscape treatments. a. The reference to all outdoor light being subject to 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance should be removed from the Streetscape Treatment section and placed in its own section. Albemarle County is not going to be regulating lighting that is in the road ROW. b. If onsite lighting will be provided and meets the applicability of 4.17 requirements of that section then we will review any lighting to those standards.
