The owner also developed and constructed a roadway from Route 29 to this proposed property to accommodate up to 30,000 vehicles/day. This roadway will be extended through the property and connected back to US Route 29 to create a second point of access for the properties served from the roadway. Imuacts to the Environmental Features: The proposed project will have a minimal effect on the existing environmental features on the property. There are a number of critical slopes on the property that have been identified by the county to be preserved. This development has created common open space areas around these critical slope areas and is intending to preserve most of these critical slope areas. There are a small amount of impacts to the preserved slopes to accommodate the roadway transportation network through the property. These impacts occur in two locations where the transportation roadways impact the preserved critical slopes. Both of these locations are necessary to provide access to future property and to make connections back to existing roadways. The biggest environmental impact will be from the extension of Boulders road back to US Route 29. This second connection, while required, will result in a crossing of Hering Branch to tie-in to US Route 29. This will be a stream crossing and a crossing of a stream with an existing flood plain. Profffers: Proffers will be proposed with this project to offset the impacts of the development, in accordance with the Albemarle County proffer requirements. Proffers will be included on the residential units over the existing 350 units from the original PRD on the property. In addition, affordable housing will be proffered as well, in accordance with the Albemarle County requirements for the units over 350.

The tax map and parcels for this proposed development are 03300-00-00-001D0, 03300-00-00-00100, and 03300-00-00-01000. The total acreage of the property is 145.6 acres. The site is located within the Rio Magisterial District. The project will provide needed public housing in this area. NGIC is a large employer in the county, and this housing will fill the need to help accommodate the employees who are relocating to Charlottesville to work at this facility and other areas in Charlottesville. The proposed commercial area will help provide neighborhood commercial amenities to this neighborhood. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan for this area. The entire area to be rezoned is located in the comprehensive growth area. The comprehensive plan calls for this area to be a mixture of urban density and neighborhood density, with a small urban mixed use center. Our proposed plan is consistent with the densities proposed within the comprehensive plan for this area. The development has higher density around the centers and transitions to lower neighborhood density throughout the development. The comprehensive plan also calls for a second connection of Boulders Drive to Route 29, which is provided in this application plan. This connection will be provided when warranted by the traffic demand, based on the proposed 527 traffic study that will accompany this rezoning. Public Facilities and Infrastructure: The proposed development is located within the growth area and is also located within the Albemarle County service district for Water and sewer. The owner of this parcel has installed water and sewer out to the property and developed a sewer pump station to service the entire drainage shed. The station was eventually taken into the ACSA system with the agreement that this land would be included within the service are for the water and sewer. The owner also developed and constructed a roadway from Route 29 to this proposed property to accommodate up to 30,000 vehicles/day. This roadway will be extended through the property and connected back to US Route 29 to create a second point of access for the properties served from the roadway. Impacts to the Environmental Features: The proposed project will have a minimal effect on the existing environmental features on the property. There are a number of critical slopes on the property that have been identified by the county to be preserved. This development has created common open space areas around these critical slope areas and is intending to preserve most of these critical slope areas. There are a small amount of impacts to the preserved slopes to accommodate the roadway transportation network through the property. These impacts occur in two locations where the transportation roadways impact the preserved critical slopes. Both of these locations are necessary to provide access to future property and to make connections back to existing roadways. The biggest environmental impact will be from the extension of Boulders road back to US Route 29. This second connection, while required, will result in a crossing of Herring Branch to tie-in to US Route 29. This will be a stream crossing and a crossing of a stream with an existing flood plain. Profffers: Proffers will be proposed with this project to offset the impacts of the development, in accordance with the Albemarle County proffer requirements. Proffers will be included on the residential units over the existing 350 units from the original PRD on the property. In addition, affordable housing will be proffered as well, in accordance with the Albemarle County requirements for the units over 350. A final proffer statement will be submitted during the review of the rezoning. Please contact me with any questions or requests for additional information pertaining to this Rezoning Application request.
