RE: Tax Map 60A1, Parcels 28 & 30
Barclay Place Apartments
Dear Ms. Davis:
This letter replaces the letter regarding this property to Steve Hopkins that is dated
October 29, 2004.
You have asked for a letter that provides an analysis of the zoning and other information
regarding the referenced property, located on Georgetown Road in Charlottesville, VA.
This letter is based on a review of our records and an inspection of the site.
1. Parcel 28 contains 6.475 acres and is improved with 134 dwellings. Parcel 30
contains 0.475 acres and is improved with 12 dwellings, a clubhouse that includes a
rental office and a pool.
2. The referenced parcels are zoned Residential- R-15.
3. The parcels abutting the subject parcels are zoned Residential- R-15 and Planned
Residential Development - PRD.
4. The density on these properties is legally nonconforming. Together, the parcels
contain 7.238 acres. The R-15 zoning allows 15 dwellings per acre, in this case 108
dwellings. The 146 dwellings on these two properties were approved under a prior
Zoning ordinance. No other legal non -conforming issues identified on this site.

5. Variance -91-16 was approved on April 17, 1991. The variance reduced the front
setback from 25' to 17'on parcel 30.
Barclay Place Apartments are located on a portion of the property that was rezoned to
R-3 on June 20, 1979 per ZMA-79-17. This rezoning also included Bennington
Woods, Soloman Court III and Westgate IV and V. The density of the entire project
was limited to 375 dwelling units per SP -78-22, which was approved on June 14,
1978. The special permit was amended on August 20, 1986. A copy of the approval
letter for SP -86-47 is enclosed.
7. The original site development plan, SDP -90-13, was approved on January 23, 1990.
The plan showed 134 dwelling units on Parcel 28. The plan was amended on March
28, 1991 to show the combination Buildings #17 and #18 into a single Building #17.
The number of dwellings remained unchanged at 134.The plan was amended per
SDP -90-74 on September 3, 1991 and amended again on September 11, 1991 to show
the entrance on Georgetown Road. This plan was further amended December 3, 1992
to show landscaping on Parcel 28.
SDP -90-36, approved on May 9, 1991 added 12 dwelling units, the clubhouse and the
pool located on Parcel 30.
SDP -90-37, approved on June 21, 1990, relocated the pool. The plan was further
amended by a letter of revision on September 22, 2003 to relocate the playground
area.
8. The parking on this site is accurately shown on the Alta survey by B. Aubrey
Huffman and Associates, Ltd., dated April 1, 1994. The parking as shown on this
survey reflects the parking that was required on the above described site development
plans and conforms with the parking requirements of the ordinance.
9. If the development were damaged or destroyed, improvements currently located on
the property, including the parking, could be reconstructed in the same location and at
the same density as the existing improvements. Any change of the present use, any
modification of a structure or of a parcel boundary shall comply with the County's
land use regulations in place at the time of the change.
10. The property was inspected for zoning compliance on October 20, 2004. Two
relatively minor discrepancies between the approved site plans and the actual site
conditions were identified:
There are two dumpster pads located on Parcel 28 that are not shown on the site
plan. The locations are shown on the enclosed sketch.

Two parking spaces on Parcel 30 adjacent to Parcel 60A1 -54A that are shown on
the site plan were not constructed.
These issues can be abated by either modifying the site to conform with the site plan
or by the amendment of the site plan to show the existing conditions. The two parking
spaces may be eliminated from the site plan because there are seven more spaces on
the parcel than are required. No other violations were identified.
11. Certificates of Occupancy for these sites are enclosed.
Sincerely,
John Shepherd
