(Rachel Falkenstein)
Ms. Rachel Falkenstein presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding ZMA-2016-00005
Foothills Crossing. She is going to talk tonight about a request to rezone property in Crozet.
The request is to rezone portions of five parcels to R-6 Residential zoning to allow up to 180
dwelling units. The property is located in eastern Crozet. The property is currently vacant and
is about 39 acres. The property would be accessed by Park Ridge Drive and just east of the
proposed of the rezoning is by-right portions of Foothill Crossing Subdivision. To the south is
Westlake Hills and Crozet Parks. To the west is Parkside Village and to the north is the railroad
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13.2016 1
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
and Route 240. However, this property does not have access to Route 240 due to the railroad.
The next slide is a map showing the zoning with the area proposed to be rezoned outlined in
blue. The project area is actually 37.19 acres. The majority of the property is currently zoned
R-1 Residential of about 32.54 acres. There is a parcel zoned R-2 Residential that they are
proposing to rezoning that is a little over 2 acres. Then there is a portion of the property that is
LI Light Industrial that is cut off from the rest of the LI development by a stream. So they are
just proposing to rezone the portion south of the stream, which is a little over 3 acres. The
applicant is proposing a R-6 rezoning, which would be consistent with the zoning to the west of
the property.
The next map shows what the Crozet Master Plan calls for on the property. Again, we have a
mix of different land uses shown on this property. There is a little bit of urban density residential
shown in orange, and that calls for about 6-12 units per acre in the master plan. The yellow is
Neighborhood Density Residential and that is recommended for 3 to 6 units per acre. The
purple is the Light Industrial. Again, you can see how this piece is cut off by the stream and the
green space. The green space corresponds on this parcel to stream buffers.
The next image is of their concept plan, and the area shaded in yellow is what they are
proposing to rezone. As mentioned, they are proposing a maximum of 180 dwelling units. If
you calculate the net density of the site it was subtracting out the areas designated for green
space and Light Industrial and this translates to about 5.6 dwelling units per acre of density.
They are proposing a mix of single-family detached and said they would be a minimum 50%
single-family detached and single-family attached units or townhomes and they said a minimum
of 10% would be included in this development.
The final lot layout and neighborhood street design they are proposing to determine that with the
site plan and subdivision phase. However, they are proffering a number of elements with their
concept plan.
Proffers
1. Park Ridge Drive (aka Main Street)
2. Eastern Avenue
3. Greenway Trail with tunnel under Eastern Avenue for pedestrians and bicyclists to use
with an easement along the stream buffer in the south of the property.
4. Civic Space
5. Cash Proffers ($4918 for SFD/$3845 SFA)
6. Affordable Housing
7. Cost Index
The roadways that they are proposing in the development are actually portions of two major
roadways called for in the Crozet Master Plan. The portion they are connection, as shown in
orange on the map, will connect Park Ridge Drive to a portion of Eastern Avenue that is already
under construction in the Westlake Hills subdivision. The ultimate plan for this roadway is to
provide a connection to Route 250. It is anticipated that developers will construct portions
south of West Lake Hills when these parcels eventually develop. There is a portion that the
plan calls for the county to construct for a bridge crossing of Lickinghole Creek. The Board has
prioritized that; but it is not currently in our CIP.
The other major roadway is called Main Street in the Crozet Master Plan, which is actually
named on the ground as Park Ridge Drive. They are going to extend that roadway through the
property that they are proposing to rezone and through a future by-right portion of Foothill
Crossing that will eventually connect to Hill Top Street. The plan for this roadway is to connect
to Crozet Avenue and it is anticipated that will be developed with the Barnes Lumber property
whenever that is developed. Both roadways will have bike lanes, sidewalks and street trees.
The applicant has submitted some proffers with their rezoning request, and she has already
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 2
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
talked about the first four here.
They are also proposing cash proffers in the amount as show; and these were consistent with
the amounts that were recommended by FIAC based on the 2016 CIP amounts. Staff has
asked for some further analysis to justify the proposed cash proffer amounts, which is consistent
with what we have heard previously from the Planning Commission and the Board. We are also
recommending an update to the 2017 CIP amounts once these amounts are available. They
are proffering 15% affordable housing consistent with the county's affordable housing policy and
then a cost index talking about proffers #5 and #6 would be adjusted. Staff is also
recommending an additional general accord proffer and we are looking for certain elements of
the concept plan that are either listed as notes right now or sort of shown. We are looking for a
stronger commitment to those in the form of a proffer. Features we would be looking for would
be interconnectivity of the neighborhood streets; the number and mix of unit types and the trail
connection to Crozet Park. Lastly, we have a few technical fixes to the proffers that have been
listed out in the staff report.
In our analysis staff has identified four favorable factors. These are largely about consistency
with our comp plan and master plan. As mentioned, this is consistent with the land use and the
Crozet Master Plan as well as the roadways talked about. The request is consistent with certain
Neighborhood Model principles that are applicable to residential developments. Then the
Crozet Greenway Trail is consistent with the trail location shown in the Crozet Master Plan.
Favorable Factors:
1. The request is consistent with the use and density recommended by the Crozet Master
Plan.
2. The proposed development includes the construction of portions of "Eastern Avenue"
and "Main Street" identified in the Crozet Master Plan.
3. The request is consistent with applicable neighborhood model principles.
4. The proposed development includes dedication and construction of a portion of the
Crozet Greenway Trail to include a pedestrian tunnel under Eastern Avenue.
The unfavorable factors are the needs to update the proffers as mentioned and looking for a
stronger commitment to certain features of the concept plan.
Unfavorable Factors:
1. No commitment to provide key features of the concept plan has been made.
2. Technical and substantive revisions to the proffers are needed.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of ZMA2016-05 Foothills Daily Property with proffers, provided
revisions are made to the proffers as described in the staff report, prior to the Board of
Supervisors meeting. There are two motions provided and she would be happy to answer any
questions.
Mr. Keller invited questions for staff. Being none, Mr. Keller opened the public hearing and
invited the applicant to come forward.
Valerie Long said she was here representing the applicant, Riverbend Development who are
also the affiliate of the owner of the property, which is Route 240 Holdings. She explained that
other portions of the property subject to the rezoning are owned by the Daily family out of New
York; although, we have the property under contract. Others joining me this evening are Scott
Collins, civil engineer with Collins Engineering and Robbie Sadie from Riverbend Development.
She pointed out that Allan Taylor, project manager for the project, was unable to be here tonight
due to his wife being in labor with their first child; but we wanted to keep moving.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 3
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
Ms. Long noted that Ms. Falkenstein did an excellent job orienting you to the location of this
property. In a PowerPoint, presentation she pointed out the project is somewhat of a jigsaw
puzzle with the overlapping and interplay of the parcel boundaries, the zoning map and the
comprehensive plan; the lines do not all match up and the parcel has split zoning. She said it is
a bit confusing; but she is happy answer questions. She said in a similar exhibit that Ms.
Falkenstein showed she wanted to make sure everyone had the context of the area, and based
on the lack of questions she would assume everyone is okay. However, if there are questions,
she asked the Commission to please interrupt and ask. The next slide was just a close up that
shows the area in the darker yellow as the proposed zoning and the location of the proposed
future connector roads relative to the rezoned property. This is an exhibit similar to what you
saw with the areas outlined in the blue area as those that we propose to rezone to R6; but it is a
bit confusing since the majority of the land is zoned R1. She pointed out the R2 and Light
Industrial zoning and the overlay of the property subject to the rezoning on the Crozet Master
Plan, again, showing that the lines are a little bit different but she hopes that is clear and easy
for you to follow.
Ms. Long said the next slide is an exhibit showing the overlay of our concept plan on the zoning
map, which was based on some feedback from several commissioners who had questions, and
she thinks it helps a lot especially because it also includes the parcel boundaries. She said this
is a single tax map parcel; but it has spilt zoning right along the edge of the land subject to the
rezoning that makes it a little confusing. She noted the area over here is the existing early
phases of Foothill Crossings that is being developed by right in a R1 density level pursuant to
the R1 zoning that exists. The land shown in orange is already zoned R6 and is being
developed by right pursuant to the R6 zoning. It is the land in the middle that is mostly zoned
R1; but on the comprehensive plan map for the Crozet Masterplan it is designated for mostly
low density residential, but also some portion of high residential. She said they wanted to show
you how those pieces all fit together. She said as Ms. Falkenstein indicated this future
connector road, which the developer is proffering to construct at its own costs, would connect to
the portions of the future connector road that already exists to the south and benefit all these
neighborhoods since their current only point of access out to either 250 or 240 is along Park
Road. In fact, Ms. Long said she would back up a bit to show in the larger context that these
neighborhoods only have access out to Route 240, Route 250 and Downtown Crozet on Park
Road adjacent to the Crozet Park and then out by the church leading out to 240 and Downtown
Crozet. It is not a great access point and so among other things the benefits of this project is
this portion of the connector road will be constructed as part of this application and these
homeowners can now proceed north and drive. She said hopefully one day this connector road
will be built all the way across or under the railroad to Route 240; but until then they will have
access out to 240 on Park Ridge Drive. So again, that shows that connection there.
Ms. Long said the location where the road crosses the stream would have a tunnel that will be
accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. That was a suggestion that came from the members of
the CCAC and a group of residents who reached out to us and made that request. Since we
thought, it was a great idea we incorporated it into our application. Another version of our
concept plan highlights a few of the areas and elements of the plan that are important. Ms.
Long pointed out that Ms. Falkenstein touched on these as well and a very large portion of the
connector road will be included.
Ms. Long said we have a community civic space that will be part of the application. We are
going to upgrade the greenway trails. Right now, there is an extensive network of trails in this
area; but because this property has been in a private ownership, the trails have not been
accessible. Therefore, as part of this application this project will develop those trails including a
connection to the brand new Crozet Park Dog Park. Therefore, it will really enhance the
pedestrian connections in this area for people in Foothill Crossings as well as Western Ridge,
Stonegate and other nearby neighborhoods will now have pedestrian access directly to Crozet
Park. Whereas, right now they have to get into their car and drive all the way down Route 240
and down through Downtown Crozet, including through the stoplight at The Square, so now they
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 4
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
will be able to walk or ride their bikes directly to the park. They will also have a new vehicular
connection to the park; but we are most excited about the pedestrian and bicycle connection.
Ms. Long asked if there are any questions either now or at the end of the public comments.
Mr. Keller invited questions for the applicant.
Mr. Dotson said you mention civic space in the application of a certain square footage; and,
asked what the nature of that civic space is.
Ms. Long replied that we have not decided officially. We have included on the application plan a
list of items that it might include. We have listed things like a gazebo, a clubhouse, sport courts,
tennis courts, recreational fields and that sort of thing. She said some sort of public gathering
space is what we are envisioning. But, what we are planning to do is work very closely with the
residents of the neighborhood because there are a large number of residents who already live in
Foothills Crossing over in this area and we want to be able to work with them and design the
space with the amenities that they are interested in having.
Mr. Dotson said it would be improved space and not simply open space.
Ms. Long replied most likely unless that is what they wanted; but there are neighborhoods that
have large civic green that are just big green areas kind of like a field that people do like that for
gatherings. However, most likely there would be some sort of improvements there as well.
Again, a clubhouse is a good potential at least some sort of gazebo, picnic area/picnic benches
or that sort of thing.
Mr. Dotson asked if this would likely be owned and maintained by a homeowner association,
and Ms. Long replied that is right.
Ms. Riley asked what the percentage of the light industrial parcel is that you would be rezoning
to R6.
Ms. Long replied it is 3.24 acres total and pointed out the portion that is light industrial.
Therefore, as Ms. Falkenstein indicated there is a stream here along the boundary and there is
a large area that is a stream buffer. So we are proposing actually just to use that as mostly
open space; but, also for some storm water management. She pointed out the southern
boundary of the area that is light industrial where the storm water management will be. She
said a lot of that is stream buffer so we would not be able to develop it anyway. Therefore, it is
a good location for storm water management facilities and part of the open space. Since it is
cut off from the balance, it is bisected from the balance of the land that is industrial by the
stream. In addition, the same owner knew they would not be able to use it for any type of light
industrial use because it would not make sense to have to build a bridge over it to reach a small
little sliver of land. So we felt like the most reasonable thing would be to incorporate it into this
neighborhood and have that to be the location for the storm water management facility.
Therefore, it also provides not only a good location for that; but it provides a green space buffer
between the residential neighborhood and the future light industrial land or the light industrial
land and hopefully a future some sort of light industrial use there. If there were any questions,
she would be happy to answer them.
Ms. Firehock thanked Ms. Long. She said we would now move to the portion for the remainder
of the public to feel free to come forward and make comments. She invited public comment.
Phil Kirby said he was a resident of the Parkside Village development. He said the question
that did not seem clear was first, if a traffic study had been done, the number of vehicles that
are going to be added to the existing roads have been analyzed, and how many are going to be
added. Two, most of the roads as described as being built hopefully will be completed one day.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 5
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
So that really does not mean much to the residents if the roads are not done because they do
not take traffic off the roads now. The problem that you start to see if you live there is that
Hilltop Road, which is the only way out right now, everybody, goes to Hilltop Road. This
proposal is to add more people to Hilltop Road and he did not know if potential roads would be a
great thing; but they just do not seem to have been developed far enough here for me to
understand it. He said maybe if you answer those questions, you could address that. That
seems to be a serious flaw in my mind. Thank you.
There being no further public comment, Ms. Firehock closed the public hearing.
Mr. Keller invited the applicant back up for rebuttal.
Ms. Long said she would go back a few slides to a context map and point out Hilltop Road that
will eventually be one way out of the project in this direction and it will continue through the
Barnes Lumber site once that project is approved and developed. She said they are obviously
building a portion of that public road; but importantly the traffic will have an access point out
here to Route 250. She pointed out the existing road at Park Ridge Drive; the Martha Jefferson
Hospital clinic on the corner; the bridge over the railroad; Western Ridge Subdivision and then
through the small Stone Gate Subdivision into Foothill Crossing that exists already and
developed as a by right subdivision. The owners and developers made the decision to build this
road to the standards of the future East/West connector road. She said essentially it may not be
the exact standards but it is designed to be wide enough to serve as essentially the temporary
connector road until the county or others who own the land here have the funds to build the
connector road that is shown on the master plan. Therefore, we are certainly sympathetic to the
concerns of residents who are concerned about traffic. However, we think this piece of the
puzzle will actually open up a number of inter-parcel connections throughout this area of Crozet
that will help disperse the traffic in a number of different directions instead of sending them all in
a single location that is not intended to accommodate those levels of traffic. She said actually
we did not need to have a traffic study prepared because, as our civil engineer tells me, it did
not meet the thresholds that are required for a traffic study. She would be happy for to him to
answer that with more detail if needed, and maybe she will ask staff to weigh in.
Mr. Keller suggested that they hear from the engineer since that was a question from the public.
Ms. Long said sure; but, otherwise she just wanted to make sure everybody understood that
issue in terms of the dispersal of traffic in multiple directions since it was obviously
contemplated and required by the master plan that these interconnections be made. She said
we are building a large segment of the connector road; and, again we say hopefully because it
requires the cooperation of other off-site landowners and funds and resources from the county
or other parties to complete those last two segments of the Eastern Connector. She hoped that
answers your questions.
Ms. More asked Ms. Long to clarify the one connection that does not need to cross the creek
that would be connecting to 240 because she thought she said 250.
Ms. Long replied that she may well have misspoken, and Ms. More said she may have
misheard; but just wanted to clarify that creates a connection that we currently don't have to
Route 240.
Ms. Long pointed out the residences that would be built within the proposed rezoning area will
have this as their primary means of ingress and egress and provide connection to Route 240,
which obviously provides access into Charlottesville. She said then when this piece of the land
is developed as part of the by-right subdivision, also by the same owners, they will build this
segment of the road to this point. She pointed out this connection already exists to this point,
and the Barnes Lumber site once approved will build that portion of the connector road out to
Library Avenue, which she believes that is right and eventually that will be completed. However,
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 6
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
it is a patchwork of various owners and projects working together to build that, which will help
facilitate ingress and egress through that location. She pointed out this road, which again was
designed intentionally very wide, is intended to serve as essentially a temporary connector road
until the road to the north, which is more another primary route is constructed. However, we all
recognize that has legalistically and infrastructure challenges.
Ms. Spain asked if both of those sections of the north/south connector are in the CIP, and
Ms. Long replied that she believed they are; however, she would like to defer to Mr. Benish or
Ms. Falkenstein to weigh in on that.
Mr. Benish replied yes, those two connections are in the CIP for both the north and south
connection; are estimated at 12.9 million dollars and have not been funded. The connections
have been requested for several years and so are in the application; but no funding has been
allocated to them.
Mr. Keller invited other questions.
Ms. More asked were you trying to get clarification for the neighbor or do you feel you got an
answer about the traffic study.
Ms. Long said she would take her seat for now, and if there were any further questions, she
would be happy to answer them.
Mr. Keller asked Ms. Long to bring her traffic person up to speak to the traffic study.
Ms. Long replied that we have our civil engineer here, and she would be happy to ask him to
weigh in on that.
Ms. Falkenstein said she could speak to that as well while he comes up. She explained that
VDOT has minimum thresholds at which they require a traffic study, which is 5,000 trips a day.
Our VDOT Reviewer and County Engineer looked at looked at the project and did not feel that it
met that threshold to require the traffic study.
Scott Collins, civil engineer, agreed that everything Ms. Falkenstein said is correct. He said a
lot of this also had to do with the fact that the amount of traffic study that has been prepared for
Barnes Lumber and this is piece is integrative involved with being that release point to allow
some traffic to go out to the east of Barnes Lumber. Therefore, that is why an extensive traffic
study was not needed on this because it has already been somewhat included with the Barnes
Lumber project.
Mr. Keller thanked Mr. Collins for that clarification. He asked if there were any other questions.
Ms. More said there is a part that talks about the proposed Eastern Avenue to be the dividing
line between lower density portions of Foothill Crossing and the higher density portions.
Therefore, she wondered if he could orient us to that, and part of why she was asking that
question is if you can without having a concept here as if you have shown in some of the other
phases can you show us where we would expect to see the single-family detached and then
some of the denser attached units.
Ms. Long said she would show you sort of the boundary line in a couple of different slides in
case one is more helpful than the other is. She pointed out in the larger context you can see in
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 7
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
the light gray the lot lines underneath for early phases of Foothill Crossing. This land is all
zoned R1 and these lots are all being developed at a density of one dwelling unit per acre.
Therefore, they are large lots and all single-family detached units. This is the portion of the
East/West Connector, which forms the eastern boundary of the area to be rezoned. So this
would be rezoned to R6 if it is approved and, again over in this area is already zoned R6.
Therefore, you can see the proposed lot layout underneath; but she did not think that has been
approved yet but is under review or will be submitted soon. However, that is what we are
proposing. So they are proposing in this area to have also the R6 zoning and we are agreeing
to limit the number of dwelling units to 180. In a different slide showing the master plan or the
comprehensive plan, she pointed out the higher density in that location; and, obviously, over in
this portion we expect that the higher density units will be back in this area. Again, we are
talking about just slightly higher density in terms of slightly different types of units; we are trying
no attached units probably townhouses. We have committed to a minimum of 10 percent, which
is probably pretty close to what we will end up having. It is going to definitely be primarily
single-family detached in this area; but, the concept plans we are looking at for lot layouts is to
have the detached units over here. She pointed out having the connector road here, again that
would be a wide road, and the lots will not front on the connector road. That is one of the issues
that staff has asked us to commit to, which we are willing to do. We probably will have some
lots that will just have to back up; but we have some room in here for open space where we can
plant landscaping there for that handful of lots that will have to face here. However, they will not
front on the road and the connector road will really serve as kind of a border or boundary and a
hard transition point between the R1 zoning and R6 zoning here. Therefore, we expect the
small number of townhomes generally to be up in this area. That is our plan; we do not have it
yet firm. However, the concept plans we are looking at shows all of this area over here as
detached lots. There are also some townhouses on the smaller narrower lots. Therefore, this is
part of the zoning area and this is currently zoned R2. That is part of the land subject to the
rezoning so some of those would be smaller lots so that is probably where the rest of them will
go. That is consistent, again, going back to the comprehensive plan map and pulls in some of
the orange area shown there.
Mr. Keller said the question is almost for a dialogue between staff and you. In the factors
unfavorable, we are saying no commitment to provide key features in the concept plan has been
made. He thinks that is what Mr. Dotson was getting at in terms of the civic space. He asked is
this something that you expect to be flushed out by the time this goes to the Board of
Supervisors.
Ms. Falkenstein replied that the civic space was not an item of concern because they actually
proffered the civic space; they proffered a minimum size and the timing for construction.
Therefore, she thinks we are satisfied with that, especially allowing the flexibility knowing that
they plan to work with the residents on that. The items we were looking for were
interconnectivity of the streets, the number of units and the mix of units. As of right now, these
are just notes on the concept plan and we are looking for a bit of a stronger commitment.
Because notes on a concept plan can sometimes be easily varied. Therefore, if written in a
proffer they are a commitment that is a little more concrete.
Mr. Keller said staff has recommended to us approval and yet we are hearing about these
concerns. He said we have seen this somewhat consistently and an issue that we are all
grappling with. So how do you see us getting those more specific notes, if you will, at a time
like this. On the one hand, you are saying that it is not really, where you wanted to see it and on
the other hand, you are asking us to approve it.

Mr. Benish explained the recommendation to the applicant implies these are the conditions
necessary for your recommendation of approval; and, it will not be scheduled for the Board or
our review to the Board will reflect whether they have addressed those issues or not. So if
those are recommendations that you agree with need to be addressed and are comfortable with
the applicant and staff working on them; that is the direction for the Board of Supervisors to
determine whether they have met your expectations and the staff's expectations. Otherwise,
the issue if you feel like you need to see that before it moves forward for your recommendation
that is your prerogative. However, our recommendation is we feel like we can address those
before it gets to the Board with the applicant.
Mr. Keller asked Ms. Long if she wanted to weigh in.
Ms. Long asked to clarify our intentions with that regard. She said we are comfortable with that
concept. She pointed out my colleague, our planner, met with Ms. Falkenstein yesterday to talk
about those issues; and, we just want to make sure we are clear on what the language is and
what the expectations is. However, we are fine with committing in the proffers to the standard to
proffer in general accord with the plan and then list what the important elements are of the plan;
the things that she mentioned; the number of units; the mixture of unit types; and the
connections to the Crozet Trails and the Crozet Park. She said those are all things, as Ms.
Falkenstein indicated, we have already committed to on the application plan, and so we are
willing to put those in the proffers as well. Those are cut and dry, clear as to what that means;
the difference, for example, is there was a request for not having lots to back up to the
connector road. The challenge is that we cannot have lots fronting on the connector road
because VDOT would not allow driveways onto the connector road. So almost by definition,
you end up having some lots that are going to back up to the connector road. We have a
conceptual lot layout sketch that we have been working on; and, we want to be able to get with
staff after the Planning Commission meeting if you are recommending it and show her here is
what we are thinking. She said we are probably going to end up with some lots here because
we can't cross the stream to connect into these other neighborhoods; we can't cross over here;
and so we are probably going to have some units that end up backing up onto the connector
road in this location. However, we have sketched out our lot layout to have a small area that
would remain as open space where we can add vegetation and other landscaping to help
screen and buffer the backs of those lots. Likewise, up in this area we will have a handful.
There are probably going to be some internal roads in this area. However, we just want to
make sure if we put it in our proffers we can be sure that we can implement the expectations
that staff has and that the Commission and Board would have, likewise with the interconnection.
We want to sit down and show staff our conceptual lot layout in how our roads are proposed to
interconnect; but, we have a few areas where we are probably going to end up having some cul-
de-sacs because of the natural features here; and, again this stream is a good example. We
are probably going to have a cul-de-sac right here coming off this road because we cannot
continue it in this location, and likewise, up in this area drawing into there. We just want to
make sure that what we think meets that expectation for interconnected roads also meets staff
expectations. If it does, then we would be very comfortable putting it in our proffers. If it does
not, we need to make sure we can figure out a way to meet those expectations. However, we
are very comfortable with it if you are.
Mr. Keller closed the public hearing to bring it back to the Commission for discussion and action.
Mr. Dotson said in the staff report it indicates that staff had heard from the school division that
the potential school site was not adequate for their needs; and, he was wondering did they tell
you anything more than just to say that it is not sufficient.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 9
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
Ms. Falkenstein replied that staff did not get a lot of information from school staff; however, what
they did tell us is they did not think the site was adequate due to size and topography of the site.
She said that was about all we had.
Mr. Dotson said so we do not have for instance a statement, which is something he will raise
perhaps for a future study session item for school planning. He asked if there is no indication
that there are plans for a new school, expanded school, redistricting or how much larger this site
would have to be in order to meet their needs or that they plan on portables; and, they are just
saying no they are not interested in this site. He asked if that is correct.
Ms. Falkenstein replied that is essentially, what we heard; but she did not know if Elaine Echols
has anything to add.
Ms. Elaine Echols said we worked extensively with the school system in trying to figure out how
we might accommodate an elementary school at this location in accordance with the Master
Plan's recommendation and the Parks and Green System plan. In our minds, the property
could have been connected to the Crozet Park; but the particulars of the stream crossing and
the access were a concern to the schools. So as we talked through it they could not commit to
the idea of the small school site given the other constraints on the property.
Mr. Dotson thanked her because that helps. The other question he had was in the staff report it
indicated that the cash proffers that the FY17 amounts were not yet available, additional
analysis of the impacts of the development wasn't yet available and the cash proffer amounts
should be provided for staff comment prior to the Board meeting. He asked who is going to
provide that information is that ongoing staff work or is that something you are asking the
developer to provide.
Mr. Benish replied the staff at Finance and our department are working to update those
numbers. It was really to update the prior numbers drafted by FIAC to bring them consistent to
the current approved CIP. So it is a matter of double-checking to make sure that the capacity
projects are adequately defined and so that we get an accurate update. He said that is in
process and we expect to have that soon. In fact, he can tell you it is in my court as of today to
look at some inputs to move it to the next and final step.
Mr. Dotson thanked Mr. Benish.
Ms. Firehock said she wanted to return to the question of the lack of information in the format of
a proffer for the number of units/mix of unit types that Ms. Long just said could be put into a
proffer and she seemed to indicate that was somewhere else in this report. She asked staff to
tell her where it was since she was not finding that.
Ms. Falkenstein said she thinks Ms. Long was referring a note on the concept plan, which says
it will be a maximum of 180 units; the 50% single-family detached; 10% single-family attached,
and we were looking for a stronger commitment in the form of a written proffer for that.
Ms. More asked do we find that when you have listed the proffers here and then after proffer 7,
the concept plan and so the staff recommends that the applicant include a separate proffer.
She asked is that where you are speaking to that?
Ms. Falkenstein replied that is correct below proffer 7.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 10
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
Mr. Keller said he thinks, again, this is an interesting bigger question and when we have our
new planning director in place he thinks it is going to be important for us to reach an agreement
on what extent of completion there is going to be in the amount of work that has been done in
the concept plan before we review it. We are seeing them in varying arrays of completeness
and it puts us in a difficult position in advising the Supervisors if they are not complete.
Therefore, he looks forward to that discussion with the new planning director and staff.
Ms. Firehock said given the amount of rigor with which we reviewed Adelaide recently and then
they actually came back again with another layout talking about density that it was also very
important as where the townhouses were and where the single-family was. We have heard a
number of issues which all sound resolvable to me and understandable about whether you
could have backs of buildings on a connector road, screening and all of that. However, she still
does not feel that she received the level of information in terms of actually seeing a layout. We
saw on the slide presentation from the applicant sort of ghost lines showing generally how it
might be laid out; but it is not in a proffer and it is not actually in this application at this time. In
my experience as a planning commissioner, and actually also for another locality, she has
experienced this situation where the concept plan and what was finally developed differed
markedly because talk is cheap and there was no layout. Since this is a complicated site
personally she did not feel comfortable moving forward with a recommendation at the level of
information she has tonight. If we move, forward and just leave it to be resolved by the Board
meeting, she did not think we are applying the same rigor to this application. She pointed out
that was just one commissioner's opinion, of course.
Ms. More asked to add to that. She agreed with some of Ms. Firehock's points. She said she
also thinks like with one of the applicants that you referred to we need to be careful that we are
not crossing into actually site planning even though she would prefer to see something as far as
a concept she would not want to step out of my role as a commissioner and start actually site
planning. However, she thinks she is a little more open with staff's language and having
something before they would go in front of the Board. So this would not go to the Board until
some of that is worked out to staff's and the applicant's satisfaction. She said one reason she is
a little more willing to consider is that the majority of the abutting property is their development
so she thinks they have a responsibility to do some commitment to sensible developments since
these are the people that they are selling homes to on either side of this. Most of the property
touching this parcel or the several parcels there that are making up this request are phases of
their development. She said that makes me feel a little more comfortable with the level of
commitment they would have to produce something that we would look to see in a concept at
this stage, which clearly would be a preference.
Mr. Keller asked if the Commission was ready for a motion.
Ms. More moved to recommend approval of ZMA-2016-00005 Foothills Crossing with revisions
to the proffers as recommended by staff.
Mr. Dotson seconded the motion.
Mr. Keller invited discussion. There being none, he asked for a roll call.
The motion was approved by a vote of 6:1:1 (Firehock nay) (Lafferty absent).
Ms. Firehock said she voted nay for the reason that she does not feel like the Commission have
been provided adequate information in terms of the layout of the conceptual plan.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—September 13,2016 11
15-586 Draft MINUTES—ZMA-2016-5 Foothills Daily Property
Mr. Keller said that a recommendation for approval of ZMA-2016-00005 Foothills Crossing
would be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors on a date to be determined.
Due to a question raised by a member of the audience Ms. Firehock pointed out the Board of
Supervisors would hold a public hearing so there will be another public hearing in which you can
comment on what they have actually done with their revisions.
Mr. Keller said the Commission would take a five-minute recess.
The Planning Commission recessed at 7:06 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 7:15
p.m.

Dan Mahon,Albemarle Co. Outdoor Recreation Supervisor
The Crozet residents whose names are listed below urge the County Planning office to require
that the Eastern Avenue Road extension between Westhall and Foothill Crossing include a
culvert for the Crozet Connector Trail in addition to the culvert for the creek. The trail culvert
should be of sufficient height for pedestrians and cyclists to pass through. The rationale for this
request is to allow access along the greenway without requiring users to climb to the elevation of
the proposed road. This popular trail is currently used by the public for running,biking, and
walking by both adults and children. A disruption in the continuity of the trail experience
would have a negative impact on the enjoyment and recreational benefit of this Crozet amenity,
not to mention the safety aspect of requiring the public to cross what may prove to be a well-used
road. There is also a concern that the use of a ramp to connect the current trail grade to the road
grade above will not be universally accessible and will therefore exclude a significant group of
potential users.
The Connector Trail is consistent with The Crozet Master Plan which promotes connected
neighborhoods and walkability. It is also a community asset that is being promoted
by developers in their advertising. Feedback from the public tells us there is significant support
for our request.

the Owner shall dedicate Eastern Avenue as a public road.
3. Greenway Trails.
A. Construction and Dedication of Greenway.T,'rails.
A primitive trail network, consistent with the County's design standards for a Class B-
type 1 primitive nature trail, shall be established within the Greenway. The installation
of the trail shall not preclude the future conversion, by others, of the trail to Class A-
paved trail standards. The general location of the trail network is shown on the
Application Plan, however exact trail locations shall be determined based on site
conditions. Installation of the trail network shall be completed prior to issuance of
approval of the tenth (10th)CO for a single family dwelling within the Project.
Upon the request of the County, but not prior to the issuance of the tenth (10th) CO
within the Project, the Owner shall dedicate to the County an easement for public use
over the Greenway area, as shown on the Application Plan. Prior to the County's
request to dedicate such easement, the Owner may dedicate portions of the Greenway

5. Cash Proffer for Capital Improvements Projects.
The Owner shall contribute cash on a per"market-rate" dwelling unit basis in excess of the number
of units that are allowed by right under the zoning in existence at the time of this zoning amendment
for the purposes of addressing the fiscal impacts of development on the County's public facilities and
infrastructure,i.e., schools,public safety,libraries,parks and transportation. For the purposes of this
Proffer 5, the number of units allowed by right under the R-1 Residential zoning is thirty five (35)
single-family detached units. A "market rate" unit is any single-family detached unit in the Project
that is not either a For-Sale Affordable Housing Unit or For -Rent Affordable Unit as described in
Proffer 6. The cash contributions shall be Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three Dollars
and Eighteen Cents ($7,333.18) for each single family detached dwelling unit, other than a
constructed For-Sale Affordable Dwelling Unit within the Project qualifying as such under Proffer 6.
In other words, the cash contribution for market rate single family units shall begin after a building
permit for the 35th market rate single family unit is issued and prior to the Owner obtaining a
building permit for the 36th market rate single family unit. The cash contributions shall be Five
Thousand Four Hundred Forty Seven Dollars and Fifty Seven Cents ($5,447.57) for each single
family attached dwelling unit, other than a constructed For-Sale Affordable Housing Unit or a For
Rent Affordable Housing Unit within the Project qualifying as such under Proffer 6. The cash
contributions shall be Seven Thousand Four Hundred Nineteen Dollars and Ninety One Cents
($7,419.91) for each multifamily dwelling unit,other than a constructed For Sale Affordable Housing
Unit or For Rent Affordable Housing Unit within the Project qualifying as such under Proffer 6.
Page 3 of 8
6. Affordable Housing,
The Owner shall provide affordable housing equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number
residential units constructed on the Property. For example, if one hundred (100) total units are
constructed in the Project,fifteen (15) units,or their equivalent,are required to satisfy this Proffer 6.
The Owner or its successors in interest reserve the right to meet the affordable housing objective
through a variety of housing types, or through cash contributions, as more particularly described in
sections 6A,6B and 6C below.
A. For-Sale Affordable 1-lousing Units. All purchasers of the For-Sale Affordable Housing
Units,(defined below) shall be approved by the Albemarle County Housing Office or its
designee. "For-Sale Affordable Housing Units" shall be dwelling units offered for sale
at no more than sixty five percent (65%) of Virginia Housing and Development
Authority's ("VI-IDA") maximum sales price for first time home-buyer program. The
Owner shall provide the County or its designee a period of one hundred twenty (120)
days to identify and prequalify an eligible purchaser For-Sale Affordable housing Units.
The one hundred twenty(120) day period shall commence upon written notice from the
Owner that the unit(s) shall be available for sale. This notice shall not be given more
than ninety(90) days prior to receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy for the applicable
For-Sale Affordable Housing Unit;the County or its designee may then have thirty(30)
days within which to provide a qualified purchaser for such For-Sale Affordable
Housing Unit. If the County or its designee does not provide a qualified purchaser
during the one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Owner shall have the right to sell
the unit(s)without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s).
13. For-Rent Affordable I lousing Units.
(1) Rental Rates. The initial net rent for each rental housing unit for which Owner seeks
qualification for the purposes of this proffer 6, ("For-Rent Affordable Housing
Unit")shall not exceed the then-current and applicable maximum net rent rate approved
by the Albemarle County Housing Office. In each subsequent calendar year, the
monthly net rent for each For-Rent Affordable Housing Unit may be increased up to
three percent(3%). For purpose of this proffer 6B, the term"net rent" means that the
rent does not include tenant-paid utilities. The requirement that the rents for such for-
rents for such For-Rent Affordable Housing Units may not exceed the maximum rents
established in this paragraph 6B shall apply for a period of ten (10) years following the
date the certificate of occupancy is issued by the County for each For-Rent Affordable
Housing Unit,or until the units are sold as low or moderate cost units qualifying as such
under either the Virginia Housing Development Authority, Farmers Home
Administration, or Housing and Urban Development, Section 8,whichever comes first
(the"Affordable Term").
(2) Conveyance of Interest. All deeds conveying any interest in the For-Rent Affordable
Housing Units during the Affordable Term shall contain language reciting that such unit
is subject to the terms of this subparagraph (2). In addition,all contracts pertaining to a
conveyance of any For-Rent Affordable Housing Unit, or any part thereof, during the
Affordable Term shall contain a complete and full disclosure of the restrictions and
Page 4 of 8
controls established by this paragraph 6B. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
conveyance of any interest in any For-Rent Affordable Housing Unit during the
Affordable Term, the then-current Owner shall notify the County in writing of the
conveyance and provide the name, address and telephone number of the potential
grantee,and state that the requirements of this paragraph 6B(2)have been satisfied.
(3) Aeporting Rental Rates. During the Affordable Term, within thirty (30) days of each
rental or lease.term for each For-Rent Affordable Housing Unit, the then-current
Owner shall provide to the Albemarle County Housing Office a copy of the rental or
lease agreement for each such unit rented that shows the rental rate for such unit and
the term of the rental or lease agreement. In addition,during the Affordable Term, the
then-current Owner shall provide to the County, if requested, any reports, copies of
rental or lease agreements, or other data pertaining to rental rates as the County may
reasonably require.
C. Cash in lieu of Constructing Affordable Dwelling Units. In lieu of constructing For-Sale,
or For-Rent Affordable Dwelling Units for fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of
Units, the Owner has the option to make a cash contribution to Albemarle County for the
affordable housing program in the amount of Twenty-Four Thousand and Three Hundred
Seventy Five Dollars ($24,375.00) (the "Affordable Housing Cash Proffer") for each such
unit. The total cash contribution due to Albemarle County as noted above shall be based on
the total number of affordable units built in the Project.
7. Cost Index.
Beginning January 1 of each year following the approval of this rezoning, the amount of each cash
contribution required by Proffers 5 and 6 shall be adjusted annually until paid,to reflect any increase
or decrease for the proceeding calendar year in the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index ("MSI")
for masonry walls in the Mid-Atlantic. The annual adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
proffered cash contribution amount due for the preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the MSI as of December 1 in the preceding calendar year, the denominator of which shall be
the MSI as of December 1 in the year preceding the calendar year most recently ended (the"Annual
Percentage Change"). By way of example, the first annual adjustment shall be Seven Thousand
