Please consider the following comments:
ZMA
SP
1. If the C & O Railway property owners have not signed on to the application before resubmittal
then the next plan that comes in must remove all reference to those properties being shown
with a proposed use plus the proposed road improvements will need to be moved from the C &
O Railway property as well.
2. The application plan needs to have the Residential, Commercial /Retail, and Mixed Use, areas
on the plan given numbered blocks. These numbered blocks will help with the establishment of
the residential uses proposed by Special Use Permit and the timing to establish the desired
mixture of development.
3. Part of the road construction proffer should be some standard language regarding the
completion of the road being required before the first CO of and new residential or commercial
building is issued.
4. The plaza area only shows up on the concept plan for the SP, so it will need to be also shown
on the ZMA application plan if it is to remain.
5. If the public plaza is to remain then the Board of Supervisors will need to grant a modification
to the maximum setbacks for any building within each block of the four corners of the
intersection that includes the plaza (Another reason to number blocks on the plan). A
supplement page to the application plan that provides more detail to the plaza and building
locations will be needed to evaluate the modification request.
6. Each of the proposed SP conditions for the residential uses should reference "residential units"
and not just "units ".
7. In their proposed condition #3 the agreement to construct "residential units" (see above) does
not say in what area these units that will front on Library Ave. See Comment #2 for direction
that will help with tracking conditions like their proposed #3.
