or eliminated based on further review.
1. 1 recommend that no new development that accesses Timberwood Blvd be approved until that road is
completed and accepted by VDOT.

turnarounds at the end of each proposed road changed to the following for better manueverability:
a) For the road ending near lot 29 and 30, please provide a cul -de -sac. It is not clear why edge of road
is at an angle.
b) For the road ending near lot 11, please provide a 110' radius for ADT of less than 400.
3. The entrance throat from Laurel Park Lane is too short before it intersects the two private streets. It needs to
be a minimum of 35' per page F -85 of VDOT Access Management Design Standards for Entrances and
Intersections, Appendix F.

RE: ZMA201300004 /Hollymead Town Center — Block VI
Dear: Mr. Roell,
Staff has reviewed your submittal dated November 25, 2013, requesting to rezone 5.74 acres from
PDMC, Planned Development -Mixed Commercial to PD -MC, Planned Development -Mixed
Commercial zoning district to construct 45 townhouse units for a density of 7.8 dwellings /acre
and offers the following comments:
Plannine
The initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan were
provided in the previous staff comment letter. See below for staff comments and the items that
remain outstanding. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
Neighborhood Model: The following describes the previous outstanding Neighborhood Model
Principles and how they have been addressed with the proposed project:
Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks — Due to the sites location and layout,
interconnected streets are not shown. This property is located near Timberwood Boulevard and
Route 29. The Comprehensive Plan recommends future transit in this area, but there are no
specific plans at this time. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 The application plan shows
travelways that provide access to the individual townhouse garages. Although the travelways
connect to Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane, they do not provide an interconnected street
network. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 3: No change.
Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability —This proposal does not provide a mixture of housing
types. However there are single family residential developments located in the vicinity (within
one- auarter mile) that provide a mixture of housing types. Will any of the proposed townhouses
address affordable housing? Will proffers be provided regarding affordable housing requirement?
Page 1 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 Proffers have now been provided; however,
affordable housing has not been addressed or provided. This principle is partially addressed.
Rev. 3: No change.
More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided.
APPLICATION PLAN- DETAILED COMMENTS
1. The setbacks are not labeled or specified on sheet 4 as indicated on the cover sheet. Rev. 2
The setbacks described on the cover sheet of the plan refer to Table S. Where is Table 5
in the Code of Development (COD)? Table B in the COD is the closest reference and it
refers to build to lines which are not consistent with the Code of Development. Rev. 3:
The cover sheet setback note is not consistent with Table a in the COD. Please clarify,
should it be 0 —10 build -to -line or 0 -20 setback?
2. Label the density on cover sheet. Rev. 2 Is the density correct? What is the correct
acreage of the property? Is it 3.811 or 5.74? Rev. 3: What is the correct acreage of the
property? Is it 2.858 or 5.74?
CODE OF DEVELOPMENT (COD)- DETAILED COMMENTS
1. Can you provide a blackline of the code of development? Rev. 2 This request has not been
addressed. Please provide a blackline of the COD. Rev. 3: This was provided but difficult to
follow.
2. Rev. 2 The COD references Tax Map Parcel (TMP) 32 -41D and the plan references TMP 78-
41L. Please clarify the TMP references on the appropriate documents, so that they are
consistent. Rev. 3: This is now clarified.
3. Rev. 2 The plan references tables in the COD that have number descriptions. The COD labels
tables with letters. Which is the correct reference for the Tables located in the COD? Rev. 3:
This is now clarified, however, the COD references multiple Table A, a and C's. This can be
confusing.
4. Rev. 2 The following typographical errors were found: Page 6, first sentence in the last
paragraph should be pond, not pong. Page 11, second sentence in last paragraph should be
an, not and. Rev. 3: No change.
5. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 There are no changes to the COD aside from Page 11 regarding this
Block. No tables were changed and no blackline version of the COD was provided. Rev. 3: No
change.
Engineering and Water Resources
The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn
Brooks and Michelle Roberge:
1. It is recommended that no new development be approved that accesses Tim berwood Blvd.
2
until that road is completed and accepted by VDOT. Rev. 2: No change. Rev. 3: No change.
Rev. 2 It appears that the original SWM plan shows Abington Place draining to SWM
Facility #2 (facility name shown on WP02004 -30). However, Abington Place is now being
treated with a separate biofilter. Please revise the original DA maps for SWM #2 to
exclude the portion of Abington Place on an 11 "x17" sheet and include in report. This
needs to be on the new plan. Rev. 3: No change.
Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
Page 2 of 5
3. Rev. 2 The original traffic study numbers are not consistent with the new traffic
information submitted. This discrepancy needs to be resolved. Rev. 3: No change.
4. Rev. 3: It does not appear that future connections for the proposed private roads will
occur. We recommend turnarounds at the end of each proposed road changed to the
following for better manueverability.
a) For the road ending near lot 29 and 30, please provide a cul -de -sac. It is not clear why
edge of road is at an angle.
b) For the road ending near lot 11, please provide a 110' radius for ADT of less than 400.
5. Rev. 3: The entrance throat from Laurel Park Lane is too short before it intersects the two
private streets. It needs to be a minimum of 35-'per page F -85 of VDOT Access
Management Design Standards for Entrances and Intersections, Appendix F.
VDOT
1. Rev. 2 The Trip Generation Study Memo indicates that generally, the trip generation
from the proposed zoning will be less than that indicated for current zoning in the
original TIA. The memo provides trip generation from the original development plan. The
original plan /TIA should be referenced by the date of the plan and it would be helpful if
copies of the original data were provided for comparison with the memo.
2. Rev. 2 It appears that no new proffers have been offered for the proposed amendment.
For the most part, it appears that the improvements to be made as indicated in the
proffers provided have been completed.
Rev 3: No new commentshave been received from VDOT.
Housin
Comments from the housing department will be provided upon receipt. Rev. 2 No change. Rev. 3:
The proffers do not appear to address affordable housing at all so there is nothing to comment
on.
Proffers
1. More information is needed on housing affordability to assess any housing proffers. Staff
suggests proffering a certain number /percentage of units meeting the County's affordable
criteria which would allow those units to not be subject to the capital proffers. Rev. 2 No
change. Still needs to be addressed. Rev. 3: No change.
2. Cash proffers have not been provided per the County's cash proffer policy. Rev. 2 No
change. Still needs to be addressed. Rev. 3: No change.
3. Rev. 2 The approved proffers that relate to this section of Hollymead Town Center need
to be used, noting what proffers have been satisfied. A blackline version of the approved
proffers and proposed revisions needs to be provided. Rev. 3: Nothange. Have you
eliminated the proffers and now wish to provide none? Please clarify the status of the
proffers.
4. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 The proffers do not have an accurate date, tax map, zoning
designation or acreage. Rev. 3: Legally, it does not appear the proffers can go forward as
they are. The code and application plan are referenced in the proffers and they are being
updated. This comment is also applicable to the next 5 comments.
5. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Please clarify the number of turn lanes in Proffer 2. Rev. 3: No
change.
Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
Page 3 of 5
6. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 3 needs clarification. Not sure what it means or where it
applies to.
7. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 4 should state where the. potential connections are to
adjoining parcels and shown on the plan.
8. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 5 is unnecessary.
9. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 7 should be clarified.

Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing
a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property ty owners. Therefore, e, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.

RE: ZMA201300004 /Hollymead Town Center — Block VI
Dear: Mr. Roell,
Staff has reviewed your submittal dated February 18, 2014, requesting to amend the rezoning of
2.858 acres zoned PDMC, Planned Development -Mixed Commercial zoning district to construct 44
townhouse units for a density of 15.40 dwellings /acre and offers the following comments:

The initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan were
provided in the previous staff comment letter. See below for staff comments and the items that
remain outstanding. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
Neighborhood Model: The following describes the previous outstanding Neighborhood Model

Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks — Due to the sites location and layout,
interconnected streets are not shown. This property is located near Timberwood Boulevard and
Route 29. The Comprehensive Plan recommends future transit in this area, but there are no
specific plans at this time. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 The application plan shows
travelways that provide access to the individual townhouse garages. Although the travelways
connect to Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane, they do not provide an interconnected street
network. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 3: No change. Rev. 4: You now show
travelways that connect to Meeting Street, Laurel Park Lane, and Grand Forks Boulevard. These
connections provide additional access primarily for the residents who would live in this section,
but not necessarily an interconnected street network. This principle is partially addressed.
Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability —This proposal does not provide a mixture of housing
types. However there are single family residential developments located in the vicinity (within
Page 1 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
one - quarter mile) that provide a mixture of housing types. Will any of the proposed townhouses
address affordable housing? Will proffers be.provided regarding affordable housing requirement?
This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 Proffers have now been provided; however, affordable
housing has not been addressed or provided. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 3: No
change. Rev. 4: No change.
More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided.
APPLICATION PLAN- DETAILED COMMENTS
1. The setbacks are not labeled or specified on sheet 4 as indicated on the cover sheet. Rev. 2
The setbacks described on the cover sheet of the plan refer to Table 5. Where is Table 5 in
the Code of Development (COD)? Table B in the COD is the closest reference and it refers
to build to .lines which are not consistent with the Code of Development. Rev. 3: The cover
sheet setback note is not consistent with Table B in the COD. Please clarify, should it be 0 —
10 build -to -line or 0 -20 setback? Rev. 4: This has been satisfied.
2. Label the density on cover sheet. Rev. 2 Is the density correct? What is the correct acreage
of the property? Is it 3.811 or 5.74? Rev. 3: What is the correct acreage of the property? Is
it 2.858 or 5.74? Rev. 4: This has been satisfied.
3. Rev. 4: Although we have discussed the frontage on a green issue previously, it remains
an outstanding issue. The layout you have provided seems to have issues with Lots 29,
22,17 -21 and Lot 28 is iffy, in terms of these lots appearing to not front on a green. We
suggest you consider some revisions to the layout if you want the green to become
frontage for these lots. Another way to look at this, is for you to show us what green
space these lots will be fronting on? Please remember the alley will need to meet typical
standards for access, parking and fire- safety.
CODE OF DEVELOPMENT (COD)- DETAILED COMMENTS
1. Can you provide a blackline of the code of development? Rev. 2 This request has not been
addressed. Please provide a blackline of the COD. Rev. 3: This was provided but difficult to
follow. Rev. 4: This was partially provided.
2. Rev. 2 The COD references Tax. Map Parcel (TMP) 32 -41D and the plan references TMP 78 -41L.
Please clarify the TMP references on the appropriate documents, so that they are consistent.
Rev. 3: This is now clarified. Rev. 4: No change.
3. Rev. 2 The plan references tables in the COD that have number descriptions. The COD labels
tables with letters. Which is the correct reference for the Tables located in the COD? Rev. 3:
This is now clarified, however, the COD references multiple Table A, B and C's. This can be
confusing. Rev. 4: This has been satisfied.
4. Rev. 2 The following typographical errors were found: Page 6, first sentence in the last
paragraph should be pond, not pong. Page 11, second sentence in last paragraph should be an,
not and. Rev. 3: No change. Rev. 4: This has been satisfied.
5. Rev. 4: On page 10 the Block VI description is not accurate, since all townhouses do not front
on and have entrances on Grand Forks Blvd, Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane. You show
approximately 19 lots in the middle of this proposed development that do not front on any of
these streets. There is also reference in this same section of the code of development, to
additional parking to be provided in parking areas behind the townhouses. Please
Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
Page 2 of 5
show /clarify this because the parking behind the townhouses appears to be the parking for
the residents of the townhouse.
6. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 There are no changes to the COD aside from Page 11 regarding this
Block. No tables were changed and no blackline version of the COD was provided. Rev. 3: No
change. Rev. 4: Some prior comments have been addressed. By staff calculations only 4
dwelling units will remain, but the code lists block Ill's minimum at S. The park may have to
be bigger according to the Ordinance.
Engineering and Water Resources
The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn
Brooks and Michelle Roberge:
Rev. 4: Comments have not been received yet. Staff will send you the comments once they have
been received.
1. It is recommended that no new development be approved that accesses Timberwood Blvd.
until that road is completed and accepted by VDOT. Rev. 2: No change. Rev. 3: No change.
2. Rev. 2 It appears that the original SWM plan shows Abington Place draining to SWM
Facility #2 (facility name shown on WPO2004 -30). However, Abington Place is now being
treated with a separate biofilter. Please revise the original DA maps for SWM #2 to exclude
the portion of Abington Place on an 11 "x17" sheet and include in report. This needs to be
on the new plan. Rev. 3: No change.
3. Rev. 2 The original traffic study numbers are not consistent with the new traffic
information submitted. This discrepancy.needs to be resolved. Rev. 3: No change.
4. Rev. 3: It does not appear that future connections for the proposed private roads will
occur. We recommend turnarounds at the end of each proposed road changed to the
following for better manueverability:
a) For the road ending near lot 29 and 30, please provide a cul -de -sac. It is not clear why
edge of road is at an angle.
b) For the road ending near lot 11, please provide a 110' radius for ADT of less than 400.
5. Rev. 3: The entrance throat from Laurel Park Lane is too short before it intersects the two
private streets. It needs to be a minimum of 35' per page F -85 of VDOT Access
Management Design Standards for Entrances and Intersections, Appendix F.
VDOT
1. Rev. 2 The Trip Generation Study Memo indicates that generally, the trip generation from

date is referring to? The proffer format as provided is difficult to follow. Staff suggests
you keep the approved proffers and blackline the changes including the proffers that

To be Daid after staff review for public notice:
Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing
a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.

be approved with final road plans. This is not better than the original hard angled turn, both of
which sacrifice road standards for additional lots.

RE: ZMA201300004 /Hollymead Town Center - Block VI
(
Dear: Mr. Rde ll,
Staff has reviewed your submittal dated August 19, 2013, requesting to rezone 5.74 acres from
PDMC, Planned Development -Mixed Commercial to PD -MC, Planned Development -Mixed
Commercial zoning district to construct 44 townhouse units for a density of 7.7 dwellings /acre
and offers the following comments:
Plannine
The initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan were
provided in the previous staff comment letter. See below for staff comments and the items that
remain outstanding. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
Neighborhood Model: The following describes the previous outstanding Neighborhood Model
Principles and how they have been addressed with the proposed project:
Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks - Due to the sites location and layout,
interconnected streets are not shown. This property is located near Timberwood Boulevard and
Route 29. The Comprehensive Plan recommends future transit in this area, but there are no
specific plans at this time. This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 The application plan shows
travelways that provide access to the individual townhouse garages. Although the travelways
connect to Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane, they do not provide an interconnected street
network. This principle is partially addressed.
Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability -This proposal does not provide a mixture of housing
types. However there are single family residential developments located in the vicinity (within
-- - one- quarter mile) that provide a mixture of housing types. Will any of the proposed-townhouses - - -
address affordable housing? Will proffers be provided regarding affordable housing requirement?
Page 1 of 4 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
This principle is partially addressed. Rev. 2 Proffers have now been provided; however,
affordable housing has not been addressed or provided. This principle is partially addressed.
More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided.
APPLICATION PLAN - DETAILED COMMENTS
1. The setbacks are not labeled or specified on sheet 4 as indicated on the cover sheet. Rev. 2
The setbacks described on the cover sheet of the plan refer to Table S. Where is Table 5
in the Code of Development (COD)? Table B in the COD is the closest reference and it
refers to build to lines which are not consistent with the Code of Development.
2. Label the density on cover sheet. Rev. 2 Is the density correct? What is the correct
acreage of the property? Is it 3.811 or 5.74?
CODE OF DEVELOPMENT (COD)- DETAILED COMMENTS
1. Can you provide a blackline of the code of development? Rev. 2 This request has not been
addressed. Please provide a blackline of the COD.
2. Rev. 2 The COD references Tax Map Parcel (TMP) 32-41D and the plan references TMP 78-
41L. Please clarify the TMP references on the appropriate documents, so that they are
consistent.
3,. Rev. 2 The plan references tables in the COD that have number descriptions. The COD labels
tables with letters. Which is the correct reference for the Tables located in the COD?
4. Rev. 2 The following typographical errors were found: Page 6, first sentence in the last
paragraph should be pond, not pong. Page 11, second sentence in last paragraph should be
an, not and.
5. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 There are no changes to the COD aside from Page 11 regarding this
Block. No tables were changed and no blackline version of the COD was provided.
Engineering and Water Resources
The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Glenn
Brooks and Michelle Roberge:
1. It is recommended that no new development be approved that accesses Timberwood Blvd.
until that road is completed and accepted by VDOT. Rev. 2: No change.
2. Rev. 2 It appears that the original SWM plan shows Abington Place draining to SWM
Facility #2 (facility name shown on WP02004 -30). However, Abington Place is now being
treated with a separate biofilter. Please revise the original DA maps.for SWM #2 to
exclude the portion of Abington Place on an 11 "x17" sheet and include in report. This
needs to be on the new plan.
3. Rev. 2 The original traffic study numbers are not consistent with the new traffic
.information submitted. This discrepancy needs to be resolved. -
VDOT
1. Rev. 2 The Trip Generation Study Memo indicates that generally, the trip generation
from the proposed zoning will be less than that indicated for current zoning in the
original TIA. The memo provides trip generation from the original development plan. The
Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
Page 2 of 4
original plan /TIA should be referenced by the date of the plan and it would be helpful if
copies of the original data were provided for comparison with the memo.
2. Rev. 2 It appears that no new proffers have been offered for the proposed amendment.
For the most part, it appears that the improvements to be made as indicated in the
proffers provided have been completed.
Housin
Comments from the housing department will be provided upon receipt. Rev. 2 No change.
Proffers
1. More information is needed on housing affordability to assess any housing proffers. Staff
suggests proffering a certain number /percentage of units meeting the County's affordable
criteria which would allow those units to not be subject to the capital proffers. Rev. 2 No
change. Still needs to be addressed.
2. Cash proffers have not been provided per the County's cash proffer policy. Rev. 2 No
change. Still needs to be addressed.
3. Rev. 2 The approved proffers that relate to this section of Hollymead Town Center need
to be used, noting what proffers have been satisfied. A blackline version of the approved
proffers and proposed revisions needs to be provided.
4. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 The proffers do not have an accurate date, tax map, zoning
designation or acreage.
5. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Please clarify the number of turn lanes in Proffer 2.
6. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 3 needs clarification. Not sure what it means or where it
applies to.
7. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 4 should state where the potential connections are to
adjoining parcels and shown on the plan.
8. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 5 is unnecessary.
9. Sarah Baldwin: Rev. 2 Proffer 7 should be clarified.

RE: ZMA201300004 /Hollymead Town Center— Block VI
^^f�'k(
Dear: M �d—ell,
Staff has reviewed your initial submittal requesting to rezone 5.74 acres from PDMC, Planned
Development -Mixed Commercial to PD -MC, Planned Development -Mixed Commercial
zoning district to construct 44 townhouse units for a density of 7.7 dwellings /acre.
We have a few questions and comments which we believe should be resolved before your
proposal goes to public hearing. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues. Our
comments are provided below:
Planning
Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan are provided
below. Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report.
The land use designation for this property is Hollymead- Places 29- Commercial Mixed Use.
Commercial Mixed Use — primary uses include community and regional retail, commercial service,
auto commercial service, and office uses. Secondary uses include office, research & development
(R & D), flex, residential, open space, and institutional uses.
• The County's Open Space Plan does not describe any significant features on this site.
Neighborhood Model: The following describes how the proposed development meets or does not
meet the principles of the Neighborhood Model:
Pedestrian Orientation — Sidewalks are proposed to be provided along Meeting Street, Laurel Park
Lane, and Grand Parks Boulevard. Sidewalks are also shown internally on the site; however, it is
Page 1 of 5 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
difficult to see whether the internal sidewalks interconnect to the exterior streets. This principle is
addressed for the most part, but could be clarified further.
Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths —The entrance onto the site is a driveway leading to
garages forth e townhouses on the property. Sidewalks and pathways are provided on the site.
Street trees are shown to be provided on the exterior of the site, but not internally. This principle
is partially addressed.
Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks — Due to the sites location and layout,
interconnected streets are not shown. This property is located near Timberwood Boulevard and
Route 29. The Comprehensive Plan recommends future transit in this area, but there are no
specific plans at this time. This principle is partially addressed.
Parks and Open Space —There is a tot lot and activity recreation area shown on the plan. This
principle is met.
Neighborhood Centers —This site is surrounded by a. shopping center. Schools and the fire /rescue
station are located nearby with office /meeting space.
This principle is addressed.
Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale —The townhouses are proposed to be two to four stories in
height at 35 feet. The elevation provided in the plans appear to be in keeping with other
townhouse developments in the vicinity. This principle is addressed.
Relegated Parking —The proposed townhouses have garages and parking is shown to be internal
on the site. This principle is addressed.
Mixture of Uses — This proposal does not provide a mixture of uses. However, it is located in a
town center inclusive of retail and other commercial uses located within a one - quarter mile of the
proposal. A mixture of uses is located within the neighborhood. This principle is addressed.
Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability —This proposal does not provide a mixture of housing
types. However there are single family residential developments located in the vicinity (within
one - quarter mile) that provide a mixture of housing types. Will any of the proposed townhouses
address affordable housing? Will proffers be provided regarding affordable housing requirement?
This principle is partially addressed.
Redevelopment— Not Applicable.
Site Planning That Respects Terrain — There appear to be critical slopes located on the site that
will be disturbed. However, the plan describes these slopes as manmade. Minimal disturbance to
the terrain is suggested.
Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas — Not Applicable.
More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided.
Revised 4 -25 -I1 eke
Page 2 of 5
APPLICATION PLAN - DETAILED COMMENTS
1. The SP should be referenced since it is the legislative action that allows the residential uses
in the PDMC district. Will the SP be updated with this rezoning request?
2. Current and proposed zoning districts should be corrected on the cover sheet of plans.
3. The setbacks are not labeled or specified on sheet 4 as indicated on the cover sheet.
4. Label the density on cover sheet.
CODE OF DEVELOPMENT (COD)- DETAILED COMMENTS
Can you provide a blackline of the code of development?
Zoning
The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Sarah Baldwin:
1. The Application Plan: A) References ZMA2002 -2, which is part of HTC D. Additionally,
ZMA's 89 -8 and 99 -21 can also be removed. This amendment is proposing to amend
ZMA2001 -20.
B) The Plan states that 44 townhomes will be built, the Application itself states 45 TH will
be built and the COD gives a range of 40 -70 units. Please clarify what is being proposed.
2. The Code of Development: A) The Existing Block VI was Mixed Use /Community Service
District and slated for parking to serve Block IV and the possibility for infill development
later on. This proposal may limit IV's development. Additionally, VI is rezoned to
residential; it may present limitations on other Blocks to build residential units. If the
maximum total of residential units in HTC -C is 120, it should be confirmed that allowing
residential units in VI will not exceed that amount and that it is still in conformance with
the comprehensive plan.
B) Remove the max floor plate on Table B in Block VI, if the proposal is for residential only
the reference is not applicable.
C) The COD states that this Block will become "Urban Style Residential" Please confirm
that this proposal will meet the requirements as contained in the description of this
category on page 34.
3. Amended proffers were not received. If this Block becomes residential, the cash proffer
policies apply.

1. It is recommended that no new development be approved that accesses Timberwood Bld.
Until that road is completed and accepted by VDOT.
VDOT
The following comments related to transportation issues have been provided by Troy Austin:
1. The parcel for this project was initially planned as a parking area. How is the proposed
use change to townhomes going to impact the original TIA in terms of traffic
generation? Was there .extra capacity built into the original TIA estimates?
Revised 4 -25 -I1 eke
Page 3 of 5
2. From the plan, it appears that Laurel Park Lane is proposed to be a private road. Is
there an anticipation that this road will be taken into the State Highway System? If so,
the entrance to the townhome parcel will need to meet Access Management
requirements, which it currently. does not.
ACSA
Comments have not been received from the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA). Staff will
send comments upon receipt.
Housing
Comments from the housing department will be provided upon receipt.
Proffers
1. Proffers have not been submitted. Will proffers be submitted or revised?
2. More information is needed on housing affordability to assess any housing proffers. Staff
suggests proffering a certain number /percentage of units meeting the County's affordable
criteria which would allow those units to not be subject to the capital proffers.
3. Cash proffers have not been provided per the County's cash proffer policy.

If you plan to resubmit within 30 days, make sure that the resubmittal is on or before a

be found at www,albemarle.org in the "forms" section at the Community Development page.

The application fee which you paid covers staff review of the initial submittal and one
resubmittal. Each subsequent resubmittal requires an additional fee. (See attached Fee
Schedule.)
(2) Request Indefinite Deferral
If you plan to resubmit after 30 days from the date of the comment letter, you need to request
an indefinite deferral. Please provide a written request and state your justification for
requesting the deferral. (Indefinite deferral means that you intend to resubmit /request a
public hearing be set with the Planning Commission after the 30 day period.)
(3) Request Planning Commission Public Hearing Date be Set
At this time, you may schedule a public hearing with the Planning Commission. However, we
do not advise that you go directly to public hearing if staff has identified issues in need of
resolution that can be addressed with a resubmittal.
After outstanding issues have been resolved and /or when you are ready to request a public
hearing, staff will set your public hearing date for the Planning Commission in accordance with
Page 1 of 6 Revised 4 -25 -11 eke
the Planning Commission's published schedule and as mutually agreed by you and the County.
The staff report and recommendation will be based on the latest information provided by you .
with your initial submittal or resubmittal. Please remember that all resubmittals must be made
on or before a resubmittal date.
By no later than twenty -one (21) days before the Planning Commission's public hearing, a
newspaper advertisement fee and an adjoining owner notification fee must be paid. (See
attached Fee Schedule) Your comment letter will contain the actual fees you need to pay.
Payment for an additional newspaper advertisement is also required twenty -two (22) days prior
to the Board of Supervisors public hearing. These dates are provided on the attached Legal Ad
Payments for Public Hearings form.
Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the
Planning Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The
only exception to this rule will -be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the
project proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff that have not previously
been brought to the applicant's attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the
Planning Commission meeting.
(4) Withdraw Your Application
If at anytime you wish to withdraw your application, please provide your request in writing.
Failure to Respond

time, you will be given 10 days to do one of the following: a) request withdrawal of your
application, b) request deferral of your application to a specific Planning Commission date as
mutually agreed to with staff; or c) request indefinite deferral and state your justification for
requesting the deferral. If none of these choices is made within 10 days, staff will schedule
your application for a public hearing based on the information provided with your original
submittal or the latest submittal staff received on a resubmittal date.

* The reviewing planner will contact applicant to discuss comments of reviewers and advise that changes
that are needed are significant enough to warrant an additional submittal or advise that the the project is
ready for a public hearing. If changes needed are minor, the planner will advise that the, project go to public
hearing.
** The legal ad deadline is the last date at which an applicant can decide whether to resubmit or go to
public hearing. If an applicant decides to go to public hearing against the advice of the reviewing planner, a
recommendation for denial will likely result. Generally, the applicant will will have only one opportunity to
defer the PC public hearing for the project once it has been advertised for public hearing. Additional
deferrals will not be allowed except in extraordinary circumstances such as a major change in the project
proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff that have not previously been brought to the
applicant's attention.

To be Daid after staff review for public notice:
Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing
R legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.
