proffers.
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

application plans and proffer statements associated therewith, are collectively referred to herein
as the "Prior Zoning Actions."
This rezoning amendment application identified as "ZMA-2021-00016 North Fork UVA
Discovery Park" proposes to rezone some of the parcels subject to the prior Zoning Actions from
Planned Development -Industrial Park ("PD-IP") to Neighborhood Model District ("NM' ), to

Zoning Actions, each as listed in more detail on the table on page one (herein (thisthe
"Rezoning Amendment"). This amended proffer statement associated with the Rezonin¢
Amendment this "Amended Proffer Statement") modifies and supersedes all prior proffer
statements, application plans, exhibits, or other materials associated with the Prior Zoning
Actions.
