HomeMy WebLinkAboutZMA201400004 Review Comments Zoning Map Amendment 2014-10-03�� OF ALg�
County of Albemarle
Department of Community Development
The carriage house addendum and rezoning application indicate this amendment will only apply
to undeveloped blocks within Old Trail. The proffers indicate that if approved, they will supersede
the proffers previously approved with ZMA 2004 -24 and ZMA 2008 -05. Section 33.2.1 applies
and this addendum /revised proffers can only apply to the parcels for this rezoning without the
signatures of other parcel owner:
Required signatures on owner - initiated application. Each owner - initiated application for a zoning map
amendment shall be signed by the owner of each parcel that is the subject of the proposed zoning map
amendment, provided that:
a. Amendments to existing proffers. An owner whose parcel is subject to proffers may apply to amend the
proffers applicable solely to the owner's parcel, provided that written notice of the application is provided
to the owners of other parcels subject to the same proffers under Virginia Code §§ 15.2- 2204(H) and 15.2-
2302. However, the signatures of the owners of the other parcels subject to the same proffers shall not be
required.
b. Amendments to planned developments. An owner within an existing planned development may apply for
a zoning map amendment, and the signatures of any other owners within the planned development is
required only if the amendment could result in or require: (i) a change in use, density or intensity on that
parcel; (ii) a change to any regulation in a code of development that would apply to that parcel; (iii) a
change to an owner's express obligation under a regulation in a code of development; or (iv) a change to the
application plan that would apply to that parcel.
Code of Development addendum comments-
• The first sentence of the addendum should be revised to say that it is added as a new
use /paragraph to Table 4 -Land Uses Allowed of page 25 of the Code of development.
Section II of page 5 is not the regulatory section of the code of development.
• The addendum does not include setback regulations for carriage house units. The
narrative on page 2 (second paragraph from the bottom) says the units will be in the rear
of lots but this should be added as a regulation to the code addendum.
• The addendum seems to incorporate regulations that are only applicable to accessory
apartments with items a and f. Items a and f should be deleted.
• Carriage houses, as defined in the code addendum are essentially detached single
family dwellings and are counted as such for the purpose of calculating density. Item g
addresses this.
• It is confusing what is meant in the narrative and addendum (bottom of page 2 /top of
page 3) perhaps referencing the specific tables in the code of development and providing
an example would clarify. Carriage houses are a separate unit so if they could towards
the total number of units allowed in Old Trial, I don't see how they wouldn't count towards
block density. This is consistent carriage house provisions in Belvedere and Cascadia.
