Dear Ms. Long:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on May 6, 2014 took the following actions on
the above -noted petition.
Regarding ZMA201300012
By a vote of 7:0, the Planning Commission recommended approval with the changes in the application, code
of development and proffers as recommended by staff and the following recommended revision to proffer #3:
3. Route 250 and Eastern Entrance Improvement: In order to mitigate traffic and safety impacts, the
Owner shall construct left and right turn lanes on Route 250 at the eastern entrance to the Property,
or bond these improvements prior to the approval of erosion and sediment control plan or the first
site plan (whichever of these comes first), these lanes being sufficiently long in length to satisfy
the Virginia Department of Transportation ("VDOT") safety requirements. The owner shall
immediately upon the start of construction of Rivanna Village install traffic signalization at the
intersection of Route 250 for the eastern entrance to the Property unless upon a full and thorough
public review VDOT does not approve an Eastern construction traffic signal. If such a signalized
entrance is not approved by VDOT prior to the start of construction, then it will be built at such a
point in time that VDOT traffic signal warrants are met and that VDOT requests the installation of
such signal, provided that such request from VDOT is made prior to the completion of Rivanna
Village, which for the purposes of this paragraph shall be deemed to be the later of (i) the date of
approval and recordation of the subdivision plat creating individual residential lots in the final
block permitting residential lots or (ii) the date of final site plan approval for the final undeveloped
block within the Property."

7. Section 4.12.6 — Minimum number of parking spaces for scheduled uses. Change the reference from
