All of the parcels listed above are part of ZMA 2021-016, and subject to these proffers (the "Property"). Some of the parcels comprising the Property were originally rezoned as part of the original rezoning of the University of Virginia Research Park to Planned Development -Industrial Park as ZMA 95-04, which was amended by ZMA 1998-27. The zoning was further amended with ZMA 2005-0003, which added additional parcels. Parcel 32-22B 1 was zoned Heavy Industrial ("HF") by ZMA 1989-07. ZMA 95-04, ZMA 1998-27, ZMA 2005-003, and ZMA 1989-07, together with all applicable application plans and proffer statements associated therewith, are collectively referred to herein as the "Prior Zoning Actions." This rezoning amendment application proposes to rezone some of the parcels subject to the prior Zoning Actions from Planned Development -Industrial Park ("PD-IP') to Neighborhood Model District ("NMD"), to rezone one parcel from R-1 Residential ("R-1") to PD-IP, to rezone one parcel from III to PD-IP, and to amend previously approved application plans and proffers associated with the Prior Zoning Actions, each as listed in more detail on the table on page one herein (this "Rezoning Amendment"). This amended proffer statement (this "Amended Proffer Statement") modifies and supersedes all prior proffer statements associated with the Prior Zoning Actions. The development of the Property authorized by this Rezoning Amendment is referred to as the "Project." The University of Virginia Foundation is the owner of the Property (the "Owner") and the Applicant of this Amendment (the "Applicant"). For purposes of this Amended Proffer Statement, the terms Applicant and Owner are interchangeable.

Second Northbound Left Turn Lane. Prior to the approval of a final site plan or final subdivision plat that, based on a projected traffic count, would cause the northbound left turn volume generated by the Project making a northbound left turn lane (turning left from Route 29 to proceed west onto Lewis & Clark Drive) to exceed 150 vehicles during the AM peak hour, the Applicant shall install a second northbound left turn lane.
