W. 8th Street Oklahoma City, OK 73127 RE: LZC201200038 Autumn Hill Apartments-- 2401 -2411 Peyton Drive, Charlottesville, VA Tax Map /Parcels: 061 WO- 03- 00- 014AO, 061 WO- 03 -00- 00100, 061 WO- 03 -00- 00200, 061 WO- 03 -00- 01300, 061 WO -03 -00 -01500 & 061 WO -03 -00 -01600 (the Property). Dear Ms. Ribaudo: You have asked for a letter that provides an analysis of the zoning and other information regarding the referenced property. This letter is based on a review of our records and an inspection of the site. • The above referenced property is zoned Planned Residential Development (PRD), with an underlying density of Residential, R -15. These parcels are in the Airport Protection Overlay District. Multi- family apartments are permitted by right in this zoning district. The developments on these parcels were approved by site plan under the old zoning ordinance adopted April 15, 1968. These parcels were subsequently zoned to PRD without an application plan as part of the County's comprehensive rezoning in 1980. Absent an application plan which usually sets density and design standards for planned residential district, the project itself, as currently developed becomes the standard. Therefore, the project complies with the zoning ordinance as a planned residential district and may continue as it exists. However, any change in density, design, or use would require compliance with the current Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The zoning of abutting properties can be seen on the enclosed zoning map. Autumn Hill Apartments December 10, 2012 Page 2 • Tax Map /Parcel 61W-03--1 is the subject of a site plan, SDP -397, which shows development as 104 dwelling units in 6 structures on 4.217 acres and served by 186 parking spaces (28 spaces over the minimum serve Phase 2). The site plan does not provide a date of approval. • Tax Map /Parcel 61W-03--2 contains 81 dwelling units in 3 structures on 3.240 acres and is served by 130 spaces (This site plan contains a note that Phase 2 provides 102 spaces, and 28 spaces are provided by Phase 1). SDP -362, then known as Tudor Court Apartments, was approved on November 3, 1970. • SDP 96 -109 Trophy Chase Clubhouse Minor Amendment showed additions to the clubhouse on Phase 1. • No application for rezoning, special use permit, or variance is pending in connection with this property. No rezoning, or variance has been approved in connection with this property. • The club house and pool are permitted by special permit, SP- 77 -78, which was approved with conditions on January 4, 1978. The facility is limited to occupants of Westfield Club (now Autumn Hill) and not more than 100 off - premises individual memberships and its operation will remain a non - profit operation. • A review of our records does not show any current zoning violations. However the property was inspected for zoning compliance on December 5, 2012. During this visit several deficiencies were identified. There is a construction dumpster in the parking lot on Phase 1. There is one modular building in the parking lot on Phase 1 that is not shown on the site plans. The dumpster and the building are placed in required parking spaces. These items must either be removed or shown on an amended site development plan or the property will be in violation. • It is the policy of this department to purge building permit files after three years. Copies of Certificates of Occupancy are maintained on microfilm. Therefore, we have not retained any copies of Certificates of Occupancy associated with this project. Furthermore, the absence of a Certificate of Occupancy for the project will not give rise to any enforcement action. Please be aware that interior Autumn Hill June 16, 2008 Page 3 renovation that does not involve a change of use does not require a Certificate of Occupancy. You may obtain a copy of a Certificate of Occupancy for an additional fee of $25.00 each. Please contact me if you have questions or require further information. Sin -1 5 Ronald L.
