Plan location and land use designation: TMP91-11 is designated as Institutional and a small portion is designated as Neighborhood Density Residential; TMP91-9 and 91-15 are designated as Neighborhood Density Residential (3-6 units/acre) The following are County staff comments regarding the above noted pre -application meeting. This meeting satisfies the requirement for a pre -application meeting prior to submittal of your zoning map amendment application ("rezoning") and/or a special use permit application. Please note that the pre - application comments are based on the information discussed at the meeting which does not include a full review of a proposal. If an application is submitted, staff may have additional comments, identify additional issues, and require additional information at that time based on the review. Proposal: (i) Common understanding of the proposed project The applicant wishes to rezone to NMD for a multi -family residential development, not to exceed 120 units. This will require the County to give land for a connector road and also for a park space. In addition, the applicant wishes to use County owned Institutional designated land for residential density. (See attached full description from applicant) (H) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: • Proposed density is not in compliance with the Southern and Western Neighborhood Master Plan recommended density. The area designated as Neighborhood Density Residential measures approximately 15 acres, which equates to between 45 and 90 total units. Using Institutional area to count towards density is not permitted and will require a Compliance with Comprehensive Plan review or Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Comprehensive Plan also contains an Affordable Housing Policy which is an important goal for the County. Although the County can no longer accept proffers for affordable housing, the policy is still in place and can be addressed through other methods. In addition to conformity with the Land Use recommendations of the Master Plan, staff will be reviewing your application for consistency with the principles of the Neighborhood Model. The final concept for development of the site should attempt to address those principles to the extent feasible. The Transportation Plan does show a connector road in this area, which aligns with the connector road being shown in the proposal. However, this will require County owned land and will need to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. i .F.. (W) broadly identify the planning, zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be addressed by the applicant • It is recommended that the proposed zoning district is PRD or R15 and not NMD since there are no uses proposed besides residential. If the applicant decides to apply for a rezoning to a district other than NMD, a checklist will need to be given by staff for that zoning district prior to submittal of the rezoning. Please contact staff on which district you would like to proceed with and with 1 week, staff will return a checklist for the application. • Provisions for addressing impacts to schools, transportation infrastructure, emergency services and parks should be provided for with the rezoning. Staff will need to provide information/assessment of the potential impacts of the development to schools, transportation infrastructure, emergency services and parks with the rezoning. • Staff will provide information on projected capacity needs for schools based upon review of the rezoning request. • It is recommended that you discuss the proposed County park with Parks & Recreation on the feasibility of that being a County park. Recreation requirements, green spaces, and amenities will need to be addressed. • VDOT may require turn lanes on Rt 20. Further discussion with VDOT should occur regarding the turn lanes prior to submittal. • It is recommended that a connection to Avinity be explored for interconnectivity. Staff recognizes this will require land from the school (Cale Elementary). • Show how the existing properties that access off of Galaxy Farm will continue to have access. • There is a potential archeological site on TMP91-9. This site may need to be excavated and documented as part of the rezoning. • See additional Engineering comments (attached). (iv) applicable procedures A ZMA Application and fee (fee paid once the application is accepted) is required Community Meeting: o The applicant is required by ordinance to undertake a community meeting process as part of the review of the ZMA/SP requests. See attached Community Meeting Guidelines for the procedure and additional information. o Staff will work with you to generate a list of adjacent property owners that should be notified about the Community Meeting. o The meeting should take place, if possible, at a regular CAC meeting for this area. If the applicant knows of any of any waivers or modifications that are needed to implement the proposed plan, staff recommends that those requests be submitted with the initial application. Staff will then determine if the waivers should be approved with the rezoning action or deferred for action with site plan and/or subdivision plat approval. The dates listed below are for a pre -application worksession with the PC, if the applicant chooses to request one prior to submittal. -Submittal 7/2- PC no sooner than 8/14 -Submittal 7/16- PC no sooner than 9/18 (v) Identify the information the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental information • A ZMA application and fee (fee paid once the application is accepted) • Attached NMD Zoning District Checklist. • Provide additional items (as listed in the ZMA checklist), including: o A concept plan or application plan showing the location of the proposed and exsiting features on site (building envelopes, parking, entrances, circulation, etc) o A written description of the use The latest recorded plat(s).
