CHARACTER OF THE AREA
This area is developed with single family houses, mobile homes, a University of Virginia research park,
commercial uses, such as an auto body shop, outdoor supply store, and a medical office facility. A
portion of the area is vacant, undeveloped land that is primarily wooded with streams running through
the area. Although the area is wooded with many mature trees and shrubs, the environmental character
of the area is slowly beginning to change as the area becomes developed.
SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to amend the approved proffers from ZMA200000009. The proffer amendment
includes the following proposed changes: Parcels 22H and 22K have been combined into a single
Parcel 22K; Reduce length of buffer along the entrance corridor from 50 feet to 40 feet and the buffer
may be located partly on the Owner's property and partly on VDOT property; A minor technical
correction to the road phasing language for phase II is completed; Phase III road improvements
language is now changed to clarify approval of subdivision plat or site plan for any development of the
Neighborhood Investment Property instead of Tax Map 32, Parcel 22k or Tax Map 32, Parcel 22H; and
clarification that all associated permits and bonds required for the construction of the road
improvements are collectively, the "Phase III Road Improvements". Satisfied proffers are duly noted.
Timing for request for dedication of the land for the Library Lot and Park H has been revised from
December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2016 and may be extended by written mutual agreement of the
owner and the County. Timing for request of dedication for the School Lot has also been revised from
December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2016. The school deadline may also be extended by written
3 North Pointe Proffer Amendment
PC Public Hearing 10/22/2013
mutual agreement of the Owner and the County or three (3) years after the issuance of the first
residential building permit with the Project. The school proffer also extends time the Owner has to no
longer be obligated to dedicate the School Lot to January 30, 2017 or thirty (30) days after such later
date, instead of 2011. There are a couple minor additional technical fixes to the school proffer and the
bus stop turnoffs proffer.
APPLICANT'S JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST
Due to slow and changing market conditions, developing the subject property has been difficult. The
applicant started to amend these proffers a few years ago and due to a variety of complication did not
complete the rezoning process. Several of the references to deadlines and timing in the proffers are no
longer valid and the applicant proposes to modify the proffers to extend several deadlines within the
proffers, to update ownership and parcel number information, and to clarify certain issues. The proffer
amendment does not propose any changes to the zoning categories, residential or commercial
densities, or permitted land uses.
PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY
ZMA200000009 was approved on August 2, 2006. Prior to this action, no zoning actions had been
approved on the properties since they were zoned RA in 1980. Several subdivision plats have been
recorded. A rezoning was requested for a portion of the land with ZMA 89-11. This project was
withdrawn prior to Planning Commission review. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the property
was approved in 1994 which brought the property into the Development Areas.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
With the adoption of Places29, the land use plan now designates the subject property as Urban Mixed
Use (in Destination and Community Centers) with retail, residential, commercial, employment, office,
institutional, and open space uses; Urban Density Residential with residential (6.01-34 units/acre); and
supporting uses such as religious institutions, schools, commercial, office, and service uses;
Neighborhood Density Residential, with residential (3-6 units/acre); and supporting uses such as retail,
commercial, and office uses that support the neighborhood, live/work units, open space, and
institutional uses; and Privately Owned Open Space/Environmental Features with open space owned
and managed by private or semi-public entities and supporting related institutional uses.
This request does not propose to change the land uses previously approved for North Pointe. The
proffer amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed proffer amendments will update the proffers and extend deadlines, bringing the proffers
into compliance. There are no proposed changes to the density and the form remains in keeping with
the Comprehensive Plan and the Planned Development Mixed Commercial zoning district.
A full Neighborhood Model Analysis was completed with approved ZMA2000-09. The physical aspects
of this project are unchanged and remain the same as they were when the project was originally
approved; therefore, the original Neighborhood Model Analysis still applies to this project. No Further
neighborhood analysis is provided in this report.
Economic Vitality Action Plan
The primary goal of the County's Economic Vitality Action Plan is to:
Increase the County's economic vitality and future revenues through economic development by
expanding the commercial tax base and supporting the creation of quality jobs for local residents.
This Plan is developed for the benefit and economic well being, first, of current local residents and
existing local businesses.
4 North Pointe Proffer Amendment
PC Public Hearing 10/22/2013
The proposed North Pointe rezoning (mixed use) would support the Plan by providing additional
employment and residences for the local community.
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zoning
district
PDMC districts allow for the development of large-scale commercial areas with a broad range of
commercial uses under a unified planned approach. The PDMC district is intended to be established on
major highways in the urban area and communities in the Comprehensive Plan.
There are no changes proposed to the zoning, density or land uses for this project from the approved
rezoning. The proposed proffer amendments do not violate and are consistent with the intent of the
Planned Development Mixed Commercial District.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
Streets -
It is not anticipated that the proposed proffer amendment will have an impact on the approved road
network or the street design within this development. The road construction for the school lot would
remain timed with the school construction.
Schools:
There is a proposed elementary school for this site; however, until the elementary school is built,
students living in this area would attend Baker -Butler Elementary School, Sutherland Middle School,
and Albemarle High School. A requested proffer amendment does affect the timing for the school site
dedication.
Fire and Rescue:
This area is served by the Hollymead Fire Station
Utilities:
The site is serviced by public water and sewer. No immediate or significant issues have been identified
by Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA). (See Attachment D)
Anticipated impact on environmental, cultural and historic resources
There are no anticipated impacts from the proposed proffer amendments on environmental or cultural
and historic resources.
Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties
There are no anticipated impacts from the proffer amendments on nearby and surrounding properties.
Public need and justification for the change
The proposed proffer amendment will extend several deadlines within the proffers that are no longer
valid, since the dates referenced in the proffers have passed by. The changes to deadlines are for the
dedication of a school lot; for a library, and a park. Also the proffers have been updated to reflect more
accurate information that has changed since the rezoning was approved. The proposed proffer
amendment is cleaning up some of the outdated information currently in the proffers. Changes are not
proposed to the approved zoning, density, or permitted land uses. Once this project is underway to be
built it will provide additional employment and residential opportunities for the local community.
5 North Pointe Proffer Amendment
PC Public Hearing 10/22/2013
PROFFERS
The applicant has provided amended proffers to ZMA2000-00009, which are summarized below. (See
Attachment C for black line of approved and amended proffers)
Page one (1) of the amended and restated proffers updates the proffers to reflect current ownership
information as follows: The proposed amended proffers reflect a separation of ownership regarding the
original proffers. Parcels 22H and 22K have been combined into a single Parcel 22K (also known as
Neighborhood Investment Property). The applicant describes in the proffer that the changes reflected in
this rezoning amendment do not apply to the owners of parcel 22K.
Proffer 2.1: The Zoning Administrator made a determination, dated March 8, 2010, permitting the
landscape buffer to be reduced from 50 feet to 40 feet. This proffer has been changed to be consistent
with the Zoning determination and now creates a 40 foot buffer along the entrance corridor instead of a
50 foot buffer and the buffer may now be located partly on the Owner's property and partly on VDOT
property.
Staff Comment: This proffer change reflects a prior zoning administrator determination. Staff can
support this change.
Proffer 5.3.1(b) (i): Describes a minor technical, typographical fix to the road phasing language for
phase II.
Staff Comment: Staff can support this change.
Proffer 5.3.1 (c): In general, this proffer describes that the Owner shall design and construct all of the
road improvements as described for phase III of the project development. This proffer is basically
unchanged with the exception of clarification that the approval of subdivision plat or site plan for any
development now references Neighborhood Investment Property instead of Tax Map 32, Parcel 22K or
Tax Map 32, Parcel 22H and the proffer now clarifies that all associated permits and bonds required for
the construction of the road improvements are collectively referred to as the "Phase III Road
Improvements".
The proposed change to this proffer is relatively minor and is requested by the applicant only to clarify
the ownership revisions shown throughout the proffer language. This revision is acceptable to staff.
Staff notes that the owner of Parcel 22K (Neighborhood Investment Property) has submitted a rezoning
application on September 16, 2013 to more substantively amend the language of this proffer.
(ZMA201300014) The purpose for the Neighborhood Investment Property rezoning request is to amend
the proffer language in Proffer 5.3.1 (c) for the "Phase III" Road Improvements in order to allow the
development of parcel 22K along with only the construction of a portion of the road that provides Parcel
22K access to U.S. Route 29. The approved proffer would potentially require the property owner to
build a more extensive portion of road, including access to the school site. More substantive changes to
this proffer will be reviewed as part of a future rezoning request.
Staff Comment: Staff finds this proposed proffer amendment acceptable.
Proffer 5.3.4: This proffer revision describes that a cash contribution for a regional transportation study
has been satisfied.
Proffer 8.1: In order to make the timing referenced in this proffer accurate, the timing of request for
dedication of the land for the Library Lot and Park H has been revised from December 31, 2010 to
December 31, 2016 and may be extended by written mutual agreement of the owner and the County.
Staff Comment: All relevant County Departments are agreeable to the new timeline for the dedication.
6 North Pointe Proffer Amendment
PC Public Hearing 10/22/2013
Proffer 8.2 (h): This proffer revision describes that the Owner has contributed $300,000 cash to the
County for the Albemarle Housing Initiative Fund. This proffer has been satisfied.
Proffer 9.1: In order to make the timing referenced in this proffer accurate, timing for request of
dedication for the School Lot has now been revised from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2016.
The school deadline may now also be extended by written mutual agreement of the Owner and the
County or three (3) years after the issuance of the first residential building permit with the Project. The
school proffer now also extends the time the Owner has to no longer be obligated to dedicate the
School Lot to January 30, 2017 or thirty (30) days after such later date, instead of 2011. Lastly, a minor
technical fix for clarification is included in this proffer.
Staff Comment: All relevant County Departments are agreeable to the new timeline for the dedication.
Proffer 9.2 (c): This revision references the Amendment instead of ZMA2000-009. This is a minor
technical fix for clarification purposes.
Staff Comment: Staff can support this change.
In summary, staff can support the proposed proffer amendments. The proposed proffers have been
reviewed by legal staff.
As noted previously, a new request to amend proffer 5.3.1 (c) has been submitted by another property
owner within the Planned Development. This request is currently under review and will be subject to
Planning Commission review at a later date. Staff would encourage all property owners within the
Planned Development to work together to achieve mutually acceptable modifications to these proffers.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
1. The rezoning request remains consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The use is consistent with the uses permitted under the existing PD -MC zoning
district.
3. This rezoning request would provide additional residential and commercial
opportunities for residents in this portion of the County.
Staff has identified the following factors which are unfavorable to this request:
1. The two conflicting rezoning requests regarding the proffer amendment for
Proffer 5.3.1 (c) needs to be resolved.

29, Owner shall plant and thereafter maintain at all times a landscaped buffer, including
hedgerows, along the Entrance Corridor frontage parcels owned by Owner. The buffer will
consist of a minimum -5040-foot wide continuous visual landscape area that shall be subject to
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board ("ARB") review and approval (the "Buffer").
The Buffer may be located partly on the Owner's property and partly on VDOT property. In the
event VDOT at any time in the future reduces any portion of the Buffer located on VDOT
property, the Owner shall compensate for such reduction by extending the Buffer on Owner's
property in order to maintain a minimum 40 -foot Buffer, even if such compensation shall require
the removal of parking adjacent to such Buffer.

facilities visible from the Entrance Corridor identified on the Application Plan (stormwater
management facilities 1, 2, and 10) shall be shown on a plan and be subject to ARB review and
approval. SWM 1 shall be designed such that its shape, placement, and land form (grading)
transition between the adjacent conservation area and the adjacent hard edge of the parking lot
and buildings. The plan for SWM 1 shall be submitted to the ARB with the first ARB
submission for Building 14 or 19 identified on Sheet B to the Application Plan ("Sheet B"), or
any such building that is proposed to be located where Building 14 is located on Sheet B
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2. SWM 2 shall have a more structured appearance than
SWM 10 (see below) and shall be designed such that its shape, placement, and land form
(grading) transition between the adjacent conservation area and the adjacent hard edge of the
parking lot and buildings. The plan for SWM 2 shall be submitted to the ARB with the first
ARB submission for any of Buildings 26 through 31. SWM 10 shall be designed such that its
shape, placement, and land form (grading) are integral with the adjacent conservation area. The
plan for SWM 10 shall be submitted to the ARB at the time road plans are submitted to the
County and VDOT for Northwest Passage.

11
VIII. PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES PROFFERS
8.1 Branch Library.
(a) Upon request by the County, Owner shall dedicate to the County the fee
simple interest in the land shown on Sheet B as a library, consisting of a 15,000 square foot fully
graded pad site, with utilities, to accommodate a 12,500 square foot building footprint, a five
foot perimeter strip and up to a 25,000 square foot building, together with a nonexclusive
easement to the adjacent common area for ingress, egress, construction staging and sufficient
County Code required parking, stormwater detention and water quality facilities for the
location of a freestanding Jefferson -Madison Regional Library and such other uses that are
compatible with the proposed surrounding uses, as determined by the County (the "Library
Lot"). Notwithstanding the terms of the prior sentence to the contrary, if the requirements for
the library building require a larger building footprint, the County may authorize the library
building footprint to be larger than as stated in the prior sentence, provided, however, that the
size of the area shown as "Park H" on Sheet B ("Park H") and/or the size of the adjacent parking
area immediately north of the Library Lot on Sheet B (the "Library Parking Lot") shall be
adjusted accordingly to accommodate such larger building footprint. The Owner shall not be
responsible for any utility tap fees, but Owner shall complete construction of the Library
Parking Lot and other parking areas serving the Library Lot. The Owner shall permit the County
to use the Library Parking Lot and/or, if not already constructed, Park H, for purposes of
construction staging. Within twelve (12) months after written notice from the County that it
intends to begin construction of the library, the Owner shall make the access roads and the
area of the Library Parking Lot available with at least a four inch compacted stone base for use
as access and construction staging. Such street access serving the Library Lot and the Library
Parking Lot shall be completed and available for use no later than ten (10) months after
issuance of the building permit for the library, provided, however, that asphalt pavement in
areas used for construction staging by the County shall not be required to be installed until
thirty (30) days (or such longer reasonable time as may be necessary due to weather
conditions) after the County has removed its construction -related materials and equipment.
Upon the request of the County, Park H shall also be dedicated to public use, but the Owner
shall not be responsible for maintaining such park. Owner shall be responsible for maintenance
of the Library Parking Lot and other parking spaces serving the Library Lot and the County shall
have no obligation to be a member of any owner's association. The County's request for
dedication of the land for the Library Lot and Park H shall be made within three (3) years
following the latterlater to occur of (i) issuance of the first residential building permit within the
Project, (ii) Owner's completion of the infrastructure (including but not limited to streets,
water, sewer, electric, gas) required for the use of the Library Lot, or (iii) December 31,
2010.2016 (which December 31. 2016 deadline may be extended by written mutual agreement
of the Owner and the County). If a request for such dedication is not made within three (3)
years following the later of these dates, this proffer will be null and void.
(b) Green Roof. In the event that the requirements for the library building
require a larger building footprint, and the County elects to authorize the library building
12
footprint to be larger than 12,500 square feet pursuant to section 8.1(a) above, and in the
further event that the building is developed as a condominium and the County requests the
Owner to assume ownership for a portion of the larger building, Owner shall accept such
ownership at a reasonable price upon which the parties may mutually agree, and shall
contribute to the County, on a pro rata basis based on the proportional size of the portion of
the library building owned by the Owner relative to the size of the library building as a whole,
the cost of designing and constructing such building. These costs may include, if desired by the
County, installation of a "green roof," and any additional expenses associated with structurally
reinforcing the roof as necessary to support the green roof. Within ten (10) days after receipt
of a request for payment by the County that is accompanied by documentation to support the
progress payment amount as provided in the construction contract, the Owner shall submit
such payments to the County. Alternatively, in the event the County elects to design the library
building as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") building, the Owner shall
contribute to the County, on a pro rata basis based on the proportional size of the portion of
the library building owned by the Owner relative to the size of the library building as a whole,
the additional costs of constructing the library building to obtain LEED certification for the
building. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a request for payment by the County that is
accompanied by documentation to support the progress payment amount as provided in the
construction contract, the Owner shall submit such payments to the County. The design of the
green roof, or the criteria utilized to obtain the LEED certification, as applicable, shall be in the
County's discretion.

then -current Owner's premises, if requested, any reports, copies of rental or lease agreements, or
other data pertaining to rental rates as the County may reasonably require.

for a single family dwelling as defined in the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, shall
be on the same parcel as the primary dwelling unit to which it is accessory, and shall not be
subdivided from the primary residence ("Carriage House Units"). The subdivision restriction

14
(e) Each subdivision plat and site plan for land within the Property which
includes affordable units (which, for this Section 8.2(e) shall include Moderately -Priced Units)
shall designate the lots or units, as applicable, that will, subject to the terms and conditions of
this proffer, incorporate affordable units as described herein. The first such subdivision plat or
site plan shall include a minimum of three (3) such affordable units. Thereafter, and until the
total number of affordable dwelling units proffered hereunder shall have been fulfilled, the
Owner shall provide a minimum of three (3) such affordable dwelling units per year. Each final
subdivision plat and final site plan also shall include a running total of the number and
percentage of affordable units previously provided and proposed to be provided by the
subdivision plat or site plan. For purposes of this Section 8.2(e), such units shall be deemed to
have been provided when the subsequent owner/builder provides written notice to the County
Housing Office or its designee that the unit(s) will be available for sale, as required by Section
8.2(f) below. In the event that the Owner provides more than three (3) affordable dwelling units
in a single year, the Owner may "carry over" or "bank" credits for such affordable units, such
that the additional affordable units which exceed the minimum annual requirement may be
allocated toward the minimum number of affordable units required to be provided for any future
year. The maximum number of affordable units that may be carried over or banked shall not
exceed twelve (12) per year. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 8.2(e) to the contrary,
upon the written request of the Owner, the County may authorize an alternative process and/or
schedule for the provision and/or delivery of such affordable units upon a determination that the
request is in general accord with the purpose and intent of Section 8.2 and/or otherwise furthers
the goals of providing affordable housing in the County.
(f) All purchasers of the for -sale affordable units shall be approved by the
Albemarle County Housing Office or its designee. The subsequent owneribuilder shall provide
the County or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to identify and prequalify an eligible
purchaser for the affordable unit. The ninety (90) -day period shall commence upon written notice
from the then -current owner/builder that the unit(s) will be available for sale. If the County or its
designee does not provide a qualified purchaser who executes a contract of purchase during this
ninety (90) -day period, the then -current owner/builder shall have the right to sell the unit(s)
without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s), provided, however, that any
unit(s) sold without such restriction shall nevertheless be counted toward the number of
affordable units required to be provided pursuant to this terms of this Section 8.2. The
requirements of this Section 8.2 shall apply only to the first sale of each of the affordable units.
(g) The County shall have the right, from time to time, on reasonable notice
and subject to all applicable privacy laws, to inspect the records of Owner or any successors in
interest for the purposes of assuring compliance with this proffer.

ownership loan programs within the Project and other areas of Albemarle County, including
those provided by non-profit housing agencies such as the Piedmont Housing Alliance, Habitat

the Application Plan shall be reflected on the subdivision plat prepared by Owner creating the
School Lot and the pathways shall be installed when the site is graded for the recreation fields.
The Owner shall provide all utilities to the School Lot. The dedication shall include easements

School Lot shall be used as an elementary school site, but if the County determines that the
School Lot will not be used as an elementary school site, it shall be used by the County for park
and recreational purposes serving both the North Pointe community and the region. If the
County does not request that the School Lot be dedicated by the later of
December 31. 2016 (which December 31. 2016 deadline may be extended by written mutual
agreement of the Owner and the County), or three (3) years after the issuance of the first

related to the needs of the North Pointe community, and in such event the School Lot may be
used for other residential purposes as approved by the County after request by Owner for an
amendment to the Application Plan. After dedication and before the County uses the School Lot
for a school or for park and recreational purposes, and if requested by the County, Owner shall
maintain the School Lot until requested by the County to no longer do so, subject to the Owner's
right to exclusive use of the School Lot for park and recreational purposes. Such park and
recreational purposes shall be only those uses shown on an approved final site plan or
subdivision plat for the area that includes the School Lot. Upon being requested by the County,
Owner shall cease all use and maintenance of the School Lot and remove all improvements
established by Owner that the County requests be removed. The County shall not be obligated to
16
pay Owner for any improvements established by Owner that the County retains. The deed of
dedication for the School Lot shall provide that if the County accepts title to the School Lot and
then does not construct either a park or a school within twenty (20) years following the date the

to the School Lot shall be transferred to Owner at no expense to Owner.

not construct the bus stop improvements by the later of December 31, 2015 or three (3) years
after completion of the road network that includes the bus stop turnoffs, then subject to matters
of force majeure, the unexpended funds shall, in the discretion of the County, either be returned
to Owner or applied to a project identified in the County's capital improvements program within
or adjacent to the Project that benefits the Project.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the introduction of public transportation to
the Project, Owner shall contribute twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) cash to the County to

contributed to the County pursuant to this Section 9.2(c) shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty

commence by the later of ten (10) years after the Board of Supervisors approves the ZMA 2000-
