The land use designations for this property are Neighborhood Density, River Corridor Overlay, and Greenspace. Please note the page numbers of the PMP are referenced after each section. The description of the Neighborhood Density Residential land use designation, the Land Use Map, and the Parks and Green Systems map with the subject parcel highlighted blue are included below for your information. Neighborhood Density Residential — 3 — 6 residential units per acre with residential support uses and limited non - residential uses. Neighborhood Density Residential areas will primarily accommodate single family dwelling unit types as well as institutional uses such as places of worship, public and private schools, and early childhood education centers including day care centers and preschools. Neighborhood Density Residential areas accommodate small areas of non - residential land uses on the scale of Neighborhood Service, to serve residential uses. This may include corner stores of less than 4,000 square feet; live /work units above office and /or retail; small office buildings with less than 20,000 square feet; and studios /cottage occupations. (18) The descriptions of these land use designations and insets of the Land Use Map and Parks and Green Systems maps with the subject parcel highlighted blue are included for your information. Please note the page numbers of the PMP are referenced after each section. Greenspace — Sensitive environmental features including stream buffers, floodplain, and adjacent slopes. Typically only passive recreation will occur in these areas or greenway trails. Also includes open space areas that may be managed and owned by homeowners associations. (18) Free Bridge Lane -Focal Point of River Corridor This area offers the best river walk possibilities along Free Bridge Lane adjacent to the Rivanna River and includes the properties between Free Bridge Lane and Route 20 North, south of a stream and Darden Towe Park. A redeveloped area would relate to the centers at Pantops Shopping Center, Darden Towe Park, and the City of Charlottesville; however, the Rivanna River is the intended focal point. This area deserves a special designation because the property along the river is publicly owned and provides opportunities for an enhanced river park. Any future development in this area should be especially sensitive to river ecology. Free Bridge Lane as a river walk may mean future limitations to vehicular access. The proposed Framework Plan calls for two land uses adjacent to the floodplain: Urban Mixed Use and Urban Density. This area could include a recreational focus associated with the River Corridor, with possible canoe rental and other recreational opportunities. (26) I .W ' f r - .7 Alt / Future Park At r r , Land Use Map Parks and Green Systems Map The PMP identifies neighborhoods and centers in Pantops, and recommendations for the residential neighborhood where Riverside Village is located include (20 -21): Darden Towe Park/Stony Point Road (Cascadia/Fontana/Avemore Neighborhood) 1. Maintain the residential character of existing neighborhoods. 2. Allow for Neighborhood Density and Urban Density residential uses with a Neighborhood Service (NS) center. 3. Protect the rural scenic qualities of Route 20 from the northern edge of the development area south to Elks Drive/Fontana Drive where development along Route 20 should transition to an urban character to the City of Charlottesville. 4. Preserve stream corridors and floodplain in this neighborhood and allow for pedestrian paths in those areas, where natural features allow. 5. Retain existing amenities and open space within residential developments.
