RE: LZC202200057 - Parcel ID 04600-00-00-018A2 (24.98ac prior to subdivision) (the
"Property"), Owner — Brookhill Residential LLC, 455 Second Street 51h Floor, Charlottesville VA,
22902
To Whom it May Concern:
In response to your request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above referenced
Property, please be advised of the following:
The Property is zoned Neighborhood Model District (NMD). The Property is subject to
ZMA201500007, approved November 9, 2016, which permits residential uses with a density
of up to 6 dwelling units per acre, and a maximum of 1550 units allowed across the entire
Brookhill Development, without obtaining a conditional or special use permit, variance,
special exception or other authorization or approval. The Property is subject to the Entrance
Corridor (EC), the Steep Slopes, and the Airport Impact Area Overlay Districts as described
in Section 30 of Chapter 18 of the Zoning Ordinance. Additional information pertaining to the
NMD zoning district can be found in Section 20A of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Property is subject to Site Plan SDP202200017 (Initial), approved July 20, 2022, for the
development of 81 attached single-family dwelling units, and has one site plan,
SDP202200058 (Final), currently under review. A total of 134 dwelling units are proposed on
the Property.
To the best of my knowledge, the Property is currently in compliance with all applicable
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and COD. A review of our files found (i) that the
current use of the Property is vacant land, (ii) no violations or alleged violations or
regulations applicable to the Property, whether pending, contemplated, or having already
occurred, (iii) no fees due or pending with respect to any matter before the County Zoning
Office; and (iv) no pending application for rezoning of the Property or for a special or
conditional use permit or variance in connection with the Property. Further, no proceeding to
challenge the zoning or other governmental approval or use of the Property pending or
overtly threatened to the best of my knowledge.
The Property is subject to Subdivision Application SUB202100150 (Final), approved
December 14, 2022, SUB202200058 (Preliminary), approved June 20, 2022, and
SUB202200113 (Final), approved January 6, 2023, to create multiple parcels intended for
residential development and associated open space, easements, and rights -of -way. These
applications subdivided the original 24.98ac indicated above. The Property is not subject to
conditions or special limitations imposed by the County in connection with any subdivision of
the Property. Any future subdivision applications must comply with the Subdivision
Ordinance.
