Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 1
Executive Summary
Vision
Developed by citizens within the Village, the vision for the Village of Rivanna is
for a distinct small community surrounded by rural Albemarle. Medium and
low density residential neighborhoods will have easy access to the Village
Center through multiple modes of travel. The community will preserve
historic features, provide open spaces for recreation, and focus
commercial activity within the Village Center.
The Village of Rivanna Master Plan is intended to provide guidance on where
and how new residential and nonresidential uses should develop in the Village of
Rivanna Development Area. It is further intended to make recommendations on
the future of US 250 East across the northern boundary of the Development
Area. Finally, its purpose is to guide the timing of new development in the
Village.
The key recommendations of this Master Plan are:
Residential Uses and Mixture of Housing Types
• Residential uses will be the most prominent use in this Development Area.
• A mix of housing types will be provided with the greatest variety of types
being in the Village Center.
• Density will radiate from the Village Center with the lowest densities at the
edges of the Development Area.
• Existing neighborhoods of Glenmore, Running Deer, and the Magruder
subdivision are expected to retain their low-density character.
• The Glenmore development is expected to remain unchanged, except for
orderly future expansion of additions approved through rezonings.
• Developed land on the east side of Carroll Creek is not expected to
change in character, as it provides for a transition to the Rural Areas.
• Future residential development between the Village Center and Carroll
Creek will transition from the highest density near the Center to no more
than 3 units per acre near Carroll Creek. Density near the Village Center
adjacent to the proposed park can be higher if it is compensated for with
lower density closer to Carroll Creek.
• Future development is expected to be at a size and scale compatible with
existing neighborhoods within the Village of Rivanna.
• Future residential development should only be approved if and when
transportation improvements to US 250 have been made and sufficient
sewer capacity is in place to support that development.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 2
Mixed -Use Center
• The only commercial uses allowed in the Village are to be located in the
Village Center. Inclusive of the Fire Station, this area should not have
more than 125,000 square feet of non-residential uses.
Historic and Environmental Resources
• Historic resources should be preserved within the Village including
Glenmore Manor and the ruins along the Rivanna River.
• Development inside the Village should respect historic resources outside
of the Village.
• Developers should coordinate with Monticello to prevent negative impacts
on the Monticello viewshed.
Parks and Green Systems
• A naturalistic landscape buffer approximately 50 feet in depth should
remain or be provided across the southern frontage of US 250 to screen
development in the Village from US 250.
• A Rivanna greenway trail will be provided along the Rivanna River.
• A community park will be developed within the Village Center to serve the
Development Area and the eastern part of the County.
• Pocket parks are expected with new development. Development of this
area should include centralized amenities such as a pocket park or
neighborhood green.
• Floodplains, wetlands, stream valleys, and slopes should be preserved
and enhanced as important features of the Village.
Transportation
• Regional transportation improvements to include interchange
improvements at 1-64 and US 250; six -lanes on US 250 from Free Bridge
to the 1-64 interchange; four -lanes on US 250 from the US 250/1-64
interchange to Route 729 (Milton Road) and, possibly, Glenmore Way;
intersection improvements at US 250 and Route 729 (Milton Road); bridge
improvement or replacement over railroad at Route 22 (Louisa Road); and
addition of eastbound left turn and westbound right turn lanes on US 250
at Route 616 (Black Cat Road)
• Only two additional points of access from US 250 into the Village should
be provided. These additional access points are Hacktown Road and at
or near Breezy Hill Lane.
• A signal or roundabout at Hacktown Road should be provided when
warrants are met.
• Except for the area near Ashton Road, no additional development should
be added to Glenmore without a second entrance.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 3
• Consideration should be given to replacing the proffered signal at
Glenmore Way with a roundabout.
Paths
• A pedestrian crossing should be provided over Carroll Creek to link the
residential area of Running Deer Drive to the Village Center.
Development in this area should not preclude a future vehicular crossing,
if viewed as desirable in the future.
• Pedestrian connections to Glenmore and other nearby residential
developments from the Village Center should be made.
• A hard -surfaced pedestrian path should be provided across the frontage of
the Development Area which abuts US 250 to connect Glenmore Way
with Running Deer and all intervening streets.
Transit
• Transit should be provided to the Village of Rivanna when and where
feasible.
• New development should be transit -ready.
Timing of Development
Approval of future development proposals should occur simultaneously
with or follow provision of adequate infrastructure.
Approval of future development should be monitored in conjunction with
improvements to US 250 and available sewer capacity so that approval of
new units or uses does not exceed capacity of the sewage treatment
plant.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Area Included in this Master Plan
The Village of Rivanna is located east of
the City of Charlottesville and south of US
250 East.
The Development Area is formed by the
Rivanna River to the southwest, US 250
to the north, an unnamed stream east of
Camp Branch forms the western
boundary and the
Albemarle County with
Village in context
drainage area for
Carroll Creek/Route
808 (Running Deer
Drive) forms the
eastern boundary.
As part of the development of the plan a
larger area was studied, which included
additional territory to the east, to the north
and to the west. The larger area was
studied to see if any conditions had changed since adoption of the prior land use
plan for the area. It was also studied to assess the impacts of the Development
Area on the adjacent Rural Area fringe. If conditions had changed, boundary
area expansions would be considered. As no significant conditions had
changed, no boundary expansions were recommended with the adoption of the
Master Plan. The Rural Areas outside of the Village are to remain rural, including
the areas between US 250 and Interstate 64. No expansion of the Development
Area east of Running Deer Drive is to occur.
Purpose of the Plan
The plan is intended to provide guidance on where and how new residential and
nonresidential uses should develop. It is further intended to make
recommendations on the future of US 250 East across the northern boundary of
the Development Area. Finally, its purpose is to guide the timing public
investments and of new development in the Village.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 5
Planning in Albemarle County's Development Areas
Albemarle County has a long-standing goal of directing development into
designated Development Areas. To further County growth management goals,
the current Development Area concept remains a critical planning component.
The Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan, including the Neighborhood
Model, presents mechanisms that provide the best opportunity for the County to
achieve the goals of having compact livable development in designated
Development Areas and keeping the Rural Areas rural.
The Comprehensive Plan establishes three types of Development Areas: Urban
Areas (Neighborhoods 1 — 7), Communities (Crozet, Hollymead, and Piney
Mountain) and Villages (the Village of Rivanna). Villages provide for a specialized
opportunity to accommodate growth. Villages are places that combine the
feeling of "country living" with the amenities of a Development Area.
Villages consist of a variety of housing types including single-family, two-family,
and townhouse units, with a gross density not to exceed 6 dwellings per acre.
They are to be served by a village center of mixed service and residential uses at
a neighborhood scale. They are also to be served by public water and sewer
and provide public facilities that support the Village and the immediate
surrounding Rural Area.
Villages should reflect the principles of The Neighborhood Model. The
Neighborhood Model is a County policy and a component of the Comprehensive
Plan. The purpose of the Neighborhood Model is to create places, following
twelve principles:
1. Pedestrian orientation
2. Neighborhood friendly streets and paths
3. Interconnected streets and transportation networks
4. Parks and open space
5. Neighborhood centers
6. Building and spaces of human scale
7. Relegated parking
8. Mixture of uses
9. Mixture of housing types and affordability
10. Redevelopment
11. Site planning that respects terrain
12. Clear boundaries with Rural Areas
Development proposals to introduce mixed use development and add density to
the Village in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan goals raised concerns within
the community. As a result, the master plan process was applied to the Village
to guide future development.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 6
The Village of Rivanna as a Development Area
The County's designated Development Areas originally were established in 1971.
Since that time, most of those areas have been reduced in size. Some
Development Areas were eliminated and one was created -- the Village of
Rivanna.
The Village was approved as a Development Area on December 13, 1989, after
application was made by a private developer and studied by the Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors. The area designated for the Village is
exactly the same as in this Master Plan. Expected density was one unit per 1.3
acres. In 1996, the County's Land Use Plan changed the density to match the
desired minimum residential density for all Development Areas, which was 3 — 6
units per acre. The 1996 Land Use Plan showed density in this area at 3 — 6
units per acre for neighborhood density residential uses.
In May of 2002, after application by a private developer and study by the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, the Land Use Plan for the
Village was changed to allow for a mixed use center. Residential density for the
Village did not change; however, the plan added a provision for non-residential
uses, mostly in small commercial, office, retail, and restaurant/inn uses.
Planning Process and Public Involvement
In 2005, citizens of the Village requested that the County's next Master Plan be
developed for the Village of Rivanna. The Board of Supervisors approved this
request and the master planning process for the Village began in July 2007. As
with all Master Plans, the process began with a Citizens Planning Academy. The
objective of the Academy was to provide Albemarle citizens with the opportunity
to understand the County's growth management policy and the planning process.
The first community workshop on the Village of Rivanna Master Plan was held on
July 30, 3007. The purpose of this workshop was to begin to develop a vision for
the Village of Rivanna Master Plan and to identify the important elements of the
Plan. Around 100 participants attended the public workshop. All participants
were asked to identify three key issues they felt were important to the Village of
Rivanna Master Plan Vision. Through small group exercises, citizens were given
the opportunity to express themselves and hear what others had to say. The
following points represent the main ideas expressed at the meeting.
• Preserve historic structures and the rural character of area
• Improve the ability of residents to access US 250 and surrounding
corridors and destinations
• Increase the walkability of the Development Area
• Develop new ways to get around and enhance existing ones
• Maintain public safety
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 7
• Install necessary water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure before
constructing additional development in the Development Area
• Protect environmental resources
• Maintain the rural character of US 250
• Develop Rivanna Village at a neighborhood scale and a sense of
character
• Manage the location and style of commercial development
• Create a "soft boundary" in edge neighborhoods, including Running Deer
The Stakeholders Work Group met between November 2007 and June 2008 to
advise County staff and the Master Plan consultant on how best to improve
community engagement. They continued to provide guidance to the Planning
Commission after that period.
Public workshops were held on January 30, 2008, February 11, 2008, and March
3, 2008, to focus on the vision, land use, and transportation. At the fourth public
workshop, held on November 19, 2008, work -to -date was reviewed, including the
vision and guiding principles. At that workshop, participants also reviewed and
chose the preferred future land use arrangement. The Future Land Use Map in
this Master Plan is a refinement of the preferred alternative that was chosen by
the public.

Chapter 2 Vision & Guiding Principles
Introduction
The visioning process was the first step toward recognizing the community's
desires for the Village of Rivanna. The vision has set the direction for the Village
of Rivanna Master Plan. It builds on existing planning work and County policy,
such as the Neighborhood Model. Residents and property owners developed the
vision as well as the seven guiding principles, which capture what is most
important for a high quality of life in the Village.
Vision
The Village of Rivanna will be a distinct small community surrounded
by rural Albemarle. Medium and low-density residential
neighborhoods will have easy access to the Village Center through
multiple modes of travel. The community will preserve historic
features, provide open spaces for recreation, and focus commercial
activity within the Village Center.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 9
Village of Rivanna Master Plan Guiding Principles
1. The density, design, and character of existing residential neighborhoods will be
protected as the Village of Rivanna further develops.
2. The size and scale of new development will be compatible with existing
neighborhoods within the Village of Rivanna.
3. The Village of Rivanna will integrate the natural landscape and incorporate
designs that complement the area's rural ambiance. Development along the
boundaries of the Village of Rivanna will be sensitive to adjacent Rural Areas.
4. The Village of Rivanna will concentrate commercial uses in a pedestrian -
friendly Village Center where commercial and public services are at an
appropriate scale for meeting the community's common needs.
5. Street connections to and pedestrian paths between residential areas and the
Village Center, and between the Village of Rivanna and larger community, will
be sensitive to existing development. Options for different types of travel will be
provided, including driving, walking, cycling, and public transit. Street designs
will promote good driver behavior and be appropriately sized for the volume
and speed of traffic.
6. Historic sites in the Village of Rivanna and surrounding area, including
Glenmore Manor, the Hacktown community, Clifton Inn, and Stump Island, will
be respected.
7. Water, sewer, and streets will keep pace with changes and growth that occur
within the Village of Rivanna.
8. Public and private common space, parks, and sports fields will be provided and
located to foster a vibrant community

Chapter 3 Existing Conditions
Introduction
This chapter of the Master Plan provides a snapshot of the natural and built
environmental in the Development Area and adjacent study area. It examines
the existing demographics and the demographic trends. Existing land uses, the
transportation network, and current and planned infrastructure are discussed as
well.
Natural, Scenic and Historic Assets
The Village of Rivanna lies within the Rivanna River watershed. The Rivanna
River is the largest tributary of the James River, flowing into the James at the
Town of Columbia in Fluvanna County. The Rivanna River has important
historical, recreational and natural significance and is a key resource for water
and wastewater management. The Rivanna River offers recreational
opportunities, such as boating and fishing. There are County plans for a
greenway trail along the Rivanna River. The Rivanna River and its tributaries,
particularly Carroll Creek, are home to a variety of wildlife. In 1975, the Rivanna
River was designated a state scenic river from the Woolen Mills area south of
Pantops to its confluence with the James River. Virginia's scenic rivers program
is set up to identify, designate, and help protect rivers and streams that have
outstanding scenic, recreational, and natural characteristics of statewide
significance. In 2009, the Virginia Scenic River designation was extended
upstream to the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir dam.
Within the Development Area, the Rivanna River is the most prominent
environmental feature. It has a significant floodplain and associated wetlands.
Carroll Creek, as well as another tributary to the Rivanna River near Milton
Heights, flow into the Rivanna River. There are many smaller streams that also
feed into the Rivanna River within this Development Area. These streams have
steep and shallow valleys, and some also have associated floodplains and
wetlands.
The Rivanna River has also played an important role in the history of the area.
Used for navigation, it allowed for economic growth of the communities of
Shadwell and Milton. Thomas Jefferson had grist mill on the Rivanna, and he
helped to develop sluices, locks, and dams to help with navigation to his mill in
the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Ruins of a series of canals, dams, and
locks exist along the Rivanna in and near the Village. A full description of the
series of locks and dams is provided in the 1995 report, "From the Monacans to
Monticello and Beyond: Prehistoric and Historic Contexts for Albemarle County,
Virginia," provided by Garrow and Associates, Inc.

Environmental Features Map
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 12
The most significant historical resource in Albemarle County is Thomas
Jefferson's home, Monticello. Monticello was constructed between 1770 and
1809 and is located on Route 53 southwest of the Village of Rivanna. Jefferson
owned 5000 acres of land that included Monticello and portions of his holdings
are to the south and west of the Village. Protecting Monticello is an important
theme throughout the County's Comprehensive Plan and is referenced in the
Historic Preservation Plan, the Mountain Protection Plan, and the Open Space
Plan. It is a National Historic Landmark and the only home in America on the
World Heritage List. Monticello's elevated location provides broad vistas which
the Thomas Jefferson Foundation and the County seek to protect, although there
are no formal County requirements to address the Monticello viewshed. County
staff works informally with Monticello staff to encourage viewshed protection.
There are other significant historical sites within or in close proximity to the
Village of Rivanna. The Glenmore House, which lies within the Glenmore
subdivision, was built beginning circa 1750 with extensive additions thereafter.
The pre-Revolutionary Glenmore House originally was one room with a
basement hearth built of stone with mud mortar. Historically, much of the
agrarian activity in the area occurred on the Glenmore plantation. Like other
Piedmont plantations, Glenmore dates back to a land grant of George II in 1732.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 13
The Clifton estate, located east of the Development Area, was part of a 3,000
acre grant belonging to Peter Jefferson. Approximately 350 acres of the estate
was passed on to Thomas Jefferson's daughter and her husband Thomas Mann
Randolph. Today Clifton is a five -bedroom country inn with three historic
dependencies, used as additional guest accommodations.
Significant areas nearby include the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District,
the Southern Albemarle Historic District, and a property to the east of Running
Deer Drive which has a conservation easement.
The Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District is listed on the state and
national registers. It is a 31,000 -acre historic district designated by the National
Park Service for cultural, architectural, and landscape features of the state and
nation. The Southern Albemarle Rural Historic District is also listed on the state
and national registers. It includes over 83,000 acres. The conservation
easement to the east of the Village covers 466 acres and is held by the Virginia
Outdoors Foundation.
Demographics
Over the past decade, growth in the Village of Rivanna has been steady, with
almost all new permits being issued in the Glenmore development. The
Glenmore development has potential for 966 units and, as of March 2009, had
686 dwellings.
Based on March 2009 estimates, there are 761 dwellings in the entire Village of
Rivanna with an estimated population of between 1617 and 1918 residents. The
table below shows growth since the Village of Rivanna Development Area was
established.

Since 2007, up to 804 additional dwelling units were approved. Once occupied,
these units will likely bring between 1338 and 2026 new residents. The total of
existing and approved units ranges from 1392 to 1565. The total future
population in existing and approved units ranges from 2955 to 3483.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 14
Existing Land Use
Uses within the Development Area are mostly residential; however, there are
several non-residential uses both inside the Development Area and nearby.
Some of these uses are area churches, the East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Service,
Stone Robinson Elementary School, the Moose Lodge, the American Legion
Hall, Keswick Hall, the Clifton Inn, the Luck Stone Quarry, and the Glenmore
Country Club/Golf Course. The Village of Rivanna is located approximately four
miles from the closest major shopping center and other commercial areas on
Pantops Mountain.
The Development Area is approximately 2.7 square miles. The largest part of the
Development Area is the Glenmore development. Low density residential
development is the primary land use in this Development Area.
Undeveloped land acreage is represented in the
figure to the right as tracts A, B, and C. There are
approximately 233 acres of land which could be
developed or further developed in the Village.
Area A has 94 acres, Area B has 115 acres, and
Area C has 24 acres.
As mentioned earlier in the Plan, the Village was
designated for development in late 1989.
Aroximatel 85°/ of the land in the Villa e has

been developed or approved for development. Although rapid growth has
occurred over the last twenty years, further development is limited by existing
zoning. The existing zoning would allow for 631 — 804 additional units, as well
as a small amount of retail, office, and service uses. Except for the Village
Center and Glenmore, the zoning on the remaining properties in the Village are
zoned Rural Area (RA), which has a density of 1 unit per 21 acres, where
development rights have been already used.
Community Facilities
Water and Sewer
Water comes from the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir and the Sugar Hollow
Reservoir. Water treatment takes place at the South Rivanna and Observatory
Water Treatment Plants. A waterline along US 250 from Pantops is sized
adequately to serve the entire Village.
Wastewater treatment is provided at the Glenmore sewage treatment plant on
Carroll Creek. Capacity of the facility, including an upgrade to be provided by a
private developer, is 381,000 gallons per day. At present, average daily usage
is approximately 120,000 gallons per day. The sewage treatment plant with the
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 15
upgrade has the capacity to serve the Village Center as well as undeveloped
properties approved within the Glenmore development.
.qrrhnnlc
The area is served by the Stone Robinson Elementary School, which is located
nearby. Students then matriculate to Burley Middle School and Monticello High
School. There are no public schools located within the Village.
Parks
The Glenmore development has private recreational facilities for Glenmore
residents. These facilities include a golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts,
practice soccer field, and equestrian center.
A new public park has been planned for the Village Center. It will be an 18 acre
park with amenities such as tennis courts, play areas, restrooms, trails, and
shelters. It will incorporate quarry as a feature of the park, if possible.
Outside of the Village, there is a public boat access to the Rivanna River at the
Route 729 bridge. A public greenway is planned along the Rivanna River in the
Village.
Police
Police service is provided by the County from the Albemarle County Office
Building on 5t" Street south of Charlottesville. A room at the East Rivanna
Volunteer Fire station provides an onsite office for police use when needed.
Police officers work on a sector/beat system and the Village of Rivanna is
included as part of the Rural Area's patrol program. Response times meet the
standards for the Rural Areas, which is to respond on first priority items within ten
minutes of the call.
Fire and Rescue
The East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Department operates a joint County/Volunteer
fire station near the Glenmore entrance. The facility serves the fire and rescue
needs of the Village of Rivanna and the eastern part of the County. The facility is
also used by the community for civic events and fund-raising activities.
Library
Public library services are provided to the County by the Jefferson -Madison
Regional Library System. Members of this regional system include Albemarle,
Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties and the City of Charlottesville. The
Downtown Charlottesville branch is the closest branch to the Village. State
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 16
standards for library service suggest 0.6 square feet of building space per
resident. The County, as a whole, exceeds this requirement and provides
approximately 0.7 square feet of building space per resident. As a general
target, library facilities should be provided at a rate of one for every 20,000
residents. Desirable travel time to the library facility for 75 percent of the service
area should be ten minutes for Development Area residents and twenty minutes
for Rural Area residents. Although 75 percent of the users of the Downtown
Charlottesville branch of the library are covered in the ten minute travel time,
travel time to the Village exceeds ten minutes.
Recycling
Curbside recycling is paid for by and provided in the Glenmore Community.
Recycling centers are located throughout the County. Curbside recycling is
provided by several trash haulers in the County.
Existing Transportation Network
Streets and Roads
The Village of Rivanna is served by a network of private and public streets. The
Glenmore subdivision is served by an extensive internal private road system with
an entry/exit gate at Glenmore Way, which intersects with US 250. Forming
most of the eastern boundary of the Development Area, Running Deer Drive
(Route 808) is a public road accessed directly off of US 250. There are also
private accessways which serve rural style development within the Development
Areas. When developed, Rivanna Village at Glenmore will have a network of
internal roads connecting to development within the Village and to US 250.
US 250 serves the Village of Rivanna for trips outside the village. Destinations
include Pantops, the City of Charlottesville and Zion Crossroads. As the
following table shows, US 250 traffic is heaviest from the eastern City line to
Route 20. Traffic volume decreases on US 250 east of Shadwell with an annual
average daily traffic count of approximately 5,500 vehicles from Route 22 to the
Fluvanna County line.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Networks
Pedestrian and bicycle accommodations are
primarily provided within the Glenmore
subdivision where there is a network of internal
sidewalks and trails to serve the residents of
Glenmore. There are no external pedestrian or
bicycle connections linking the Glenmore
network to destinations outside Glenmore.
Rivanna Village at Glenmore will have an
internal network for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Transit
There is no transit service to or within the Village of Rivanna except for JAUNT
service.

Chapter 4 Future Land Use and Transportation
Maps
The Future Land Use Map and the Future Land Use Map Detail identify the
land use designations, the standards regarding uses, the recommended
densities and the Village Center. The Transportation Map details the
transportation network and makes recommendations for its improvement. A
multimodal approach is taken so all modes of travel — vehicular, pedestrian,
bicycle, and transit are incorporated. Based on traffic projections, improvements
to the transportation network are recommended. The Parks and Green
Systems Map identifies existing and recommended parks, open space, and
greenways. In addition, the Village of Rivanna Master Plan recommends the
preservation and protection of historical and cultural resources.
Future Land Use
Proposed land uses are shown on the Future Land Use Map on the next page.
The Future Land Use Map reflects an expectation that the density, design, and
character of existing residential neighborhoods in the Village of Rivanna will be
retained as the Village of Rivanna develops further. A single Village Center will
be one of the two focal points for the Village. The other focal point is the
recreational area of the Glenmore development, which includes the swimming
pools, tennis courts, and golf course.
Residential Areas
The following recommendations are made for residential areas in the Village:
• As shown on the Future Land Use Map, residential uses will be the most
prominent use in this Development Area.
• A mix of housing types will be provided with the greatest variety of types
located in the Village Center. Density will radiate from the Village Center
with the lowest densities at the edges of the Development Area.
• The existing neighborhoods of Glenmore, Running Deer, and the
Magruder subdivision are expected to retain their low-density character.
• The Glenmore development is expected to remain unchanged, except for
orderly future expansion of approved additions.
• Developed land on the east side of Carroll Creek is not expected to
change in character, as it provides for a transition to the Rural Areas.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 19
• Future residential development between the Village Center and Carroll
Creek will transition from the highest density near the Center to no more
than 3 units per acre near Carroll Creek. Density near the Village Center
adjacent to the proposed park can be higher if it is compensated for with
lower density closer to Carroll Creek. Such development should only be
approved if and when adequate infrastructure is in place.
• Future development is expected to be at a size and scale compatible with
existing neighborhoods within the Village of Rivanna.
• The expected number of new dwellings, in addition to units approved at
the time of adoption of this Master Plan, is between 300 and 400 units. In
order to maintain this number of new dwellings, if higher density
development is focused in the area adjacent to the Village Center
(Rivanna Village at Glenmore), then a proportionately lower density in
remaining areas must occur.
The Future Land Use Map in detail shows the areas in the Village where further
development could be expected. The insert below again shows these three
areas: A, B, and C.
* cktown Area A is expected to have the greatest density,
Glenmor R as ', with the higher density development being located
Way 250 near the Village Center and lower density
radiating away from the Center. Housing types
expected would be single-family detached
dwellings on medium or small lots, duplexes,
townhouses, and low-rise garden apartments.
nning Senior living could be provided in this area. Area
c II eer or. B will have the lowest density of this Development
Creek Area. Single-family detached homes on medium
or small lots are expected. Area C could have a density that resembles the
density found in Glenmore or it could have a density which more closely
resembles the density in the Village Center.
A possible mixture of density for these three areas is provided below:

Different mixtures and densities could take place in the future. Availability of
utilities as well as the timing of improvements on US 250 will affect the future rate
of growth in the Village. The capacity for full development of this area would
allow for a total of 1700 — 2000 units (including existing and approved
development) which represents a population of between 3604 and 4240 persons.
Density Illustrated
The Village currently has only single-family detached housing, but a variety of
housing types is expected. The images below, beginning with most dense to
least dense represent the possible ways in which development could occur,
radiating from most dense near the Village Center to least dense near Running
Deer Lane.

The Village Center
The Village Center (approved in 2007 as the Rivanna Village at Glenmore) will
have a mixture of residential and non-residential uses. Other characteristics
include:
• Neo -traditional streets characterized by narrow widths, on -street parking,
curb, gutter, sidewalks, and street trees.
• A "main street" with retail and office buildings.
• Street connections to both Glenmore Way, US 250 East, and properties to
the south and east of the Village Center.
• A variety of housing types that provide opportunities for all age groups,
including senior housing and housing for all socioeconomic levels, to live
in the Village of Rivanna.
• Non-residential uses, mostly in small commercial, office, retail and
restaurant/inn uses. Total square footage should not exceed 125,000 for
retail, office, and institutional uses, including the East Rivanna fire station.
Automobile repair and self -storage areas are not considered appropriate
uses for the Village.
• Design at a pedestrian scale that reflects the architectural tradition of
Williamsburg and other historic towns in Virginia.
• A well -integrated pedestrian system, including sidewalks and paths.
• A variety of park and recreational amenities, including open space
appropriate to the residential needs of the Village.
• Development in a manner that is sensitive to its location within
Monticello's viewshed, in accordance with the Monticello Viewshed
Guidelines for Developers.
• Minimization of adverse impacts on residential properties adjoining the
Village Center by preserving mature vegetation, having residences abut
adjoining residential properties; using of buffers, screening and berming;
and using wide buffer strips.
• Shared parking.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 22
Historic Sites
Historic sites both inside and outside the Village are affected by development of
the Village. Care should be taken with new development that the size, scale, and
visibility of new development complements surrounding sites. The following
recommendations are made:
• Historic resources should be preserved within the Village, especially the
Glenmore Manor and the ruins along the Rivanna River.
• Development inside the Village should respect historic resources outside of
the Village.
• Developers should coordinate with Monticello to prevent negative impacts on
the Monticello viewshed.

Future Transportation Framework
The future transportation network is divided into three sections: vehicular, transit
and pedestrian/bicycle. While vehicular travel is the dominant means of
transportation, transit service and accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists
are included with this plan.
Vehicular Travel
As included in the prior chapter, US 250 East is a state highway which extends
from Richmond to West Virginia. It is the northern boundary of the Village of
Rivanna Development Area. As a regional thoroughfare, it serves a much
greater area than the Village of Rivanna. It is a major commuter route between
Louisa and Fluvanna counties and the City of Charlottesville. Because of its
function in the larger network, traffic from the Village is only a small portion of the
overall volume.
Traffic on US 250 East overall is expected to grow significantly in the next 25
years as a result of growth east of Albemarle County and other growth in the
Charlottesville -Albemarle area. Projections provided by the Virginia Department
of Transportation are:
2007 and Projected 2035 Average Annual Daily Traffic
Source: Virginia Department of Transportation
To deal with the additional traffic, several recommendations which affect the
regional nature of US 250 East are:
• Interchange improvements at 1-64 and US 250

To deal with the additional traffic, several recommendations which affect the
regional nature of US 250 East are:
• Interchange improvements at 1-64 and US 250
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 26
• Six -lane US 250 from Free Bridge to the 1-64 interchange
• Four -lane US 250 from the US 250/1-64 interchange to Route 729 (Milton
Road) and, possibly, Glenmore Way
• Intersection improvements at US 250 and Route 729 (Milton Road)
• Bridge improvement or replacement over railroad at Route 22 (Louisa
Road)
• Addition of eastbound left turn and westbound right turn lanes on US 250
at Route 616 (Black Cat Road)
Recommended Characteristics of US 250 East
The following recommendations relate to the character of the improvements on
US 250 East as they affect the Village of Rivanna.
Four -lane Section
• US 250 should be a 4 lane rural section road from the US 250/1-64
Shadwell interchange to Route 729 (Milton Road) and, possibly, Glenmore
Way. This road section should include a median and a walking/bicycling
path on the south side of US 250.
Walking/
biking path
Two-lane Section
Travel lanes Median Travel lanes
Shoulder and

• US 250 should be a 2 lane rural section of road from Route 729 (Milton
Road) or Glenmore Way eastward to Route 616 (Black Cat Road). Left
turn lanes may be needed to accommodate existing entrances. This road
section should include a walking/bicycling path on the south side of US
250.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 27
The road may have a median separation or not, as illustrated in the next two
images. Also, a naturalistic buffer should be established along the south side
of US 250, so the commercial uses in the Village Center are not visible from
US 250.

Other Recommendations for Vehicular Transportation in Village
• Additional points of access from US 250 into the Development Area
should be limited to Route 744 (Hacktown Road) and at or near Breezy
Hill Lane. The intersection with Route 744 (Hacktown Road) may require
a roundabout or signal when warrants are met.
• Except for the area around Ashton Road, no additional development
should be added to Glenmore unless it includes a second entrance.
• For the long term, consideration should be given to replacing the proffered
signal light at Glenmore Way with a roundabout for improved traffic flow.
• A Park and Ride lot should be established within the Village.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Network
• A bicycle/pedestrian crossing over Carroll Creek should be provided to link
new residential development and the residential area of Running Deer to
the Village Center.
Village of Riva nna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 28
• Pedestrian connections to the Village Center should be established,
linking Glenmore and nearby residential development to the Village
Center.
• A hard -surface pedestrian/bicycle path should be provided across the
frontage of the Development Area, abutting US 250 between US 250 and
the landscape buffer. Such a path would connect Glenmore Way with
Running Deer and all intervening streets
Transit Service
• Fixed route transit service should be provided to the Village of Rivanna
when ridership levels can support transit.
• New development should be in a transit -ready design.
Parks and Green Systems
The Guiding Principles for the Village of Rivanna emphasize integration of the
natural landscape and provision of public and private common space, parks, and
sports fields located to foster a vibrant community. These principles are reflected
in the following Parks and Green Systems map. It is especially important that
the Rivanna River corridor be protected and be available to the public. In
addition to the need for park amenities in future developments, a new public park
is expected as part of the Rivanna Village at Glenmore development.
The following recommendations are made for parks and green systems:
• Ensure that the Rivanna River Corridor, Carroll Creek, and tributaries to
both waterways are protected by preserving floodplains, critical slopes,
and riparian buffers adjacent to these resources.
• The Rivanna River greenway trail, which will follow the northern side of the
river and ultimately become part of a larger Rivanna River trail system,
should be developed.
• The Glenmore golf course, the equestrian center, the series of trails and
paths throughout the development, and other Glenmore open space are
important features of the Glenmore Community. These features should
continue to provide recreational and aesthetic amenities to that
development.
• Pocket parks with amenities should be provided within close proximity to
new homes.
• Ensure development of the public park in the Village Center.

Chapter 5 Implementation
The implementation initiatives of the Village of Rivanna Master Plan have been
organized based on priority needs identified by residents and stakeholders during
the Master Plan process (See Table below). Implementation of these initiatives
will take place in several different forms: through County capital expenditures, as
part of land use decisions, with private sector investment, by community
initiatives, and through programs and services provided by the County. The
County's Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is based on a two-year financial
cycle. The CIP represents the County's funding policy, including funding level,
timing and sources associated with specific improvements. The actual
programming of projects in the CIP will be based on priority needs and the
availability of funding from the sources anticipated in this section. Service
standards have been established in the County's Community Facilities Plan. As
in all Development Areas, with rezonings for new development, community
services and facilities are always evaluated to determine the adequacy of service
and impacts of the proposed development in relation to the service standards.
Population Capacity and Future Rezonings
Additional development in the Village currently is limited by Rural Areas zoning
on most undeveloped parcels and the capacity of the sewage treatment plant
which was installed for the Village. Although the treatment plant is currently
operating at a little more than a third of its capacity, dwelling units which have
already been approved plus the non-residential uses in the Village Center will
use much of the remaining capacity. The actual number of additional units which
may be approved for development in the future depends on the capacity of the
sewage treatment plant. An additional 300 to 400 new units may be possible, if
water and sewer usage in Glenmore continues at the same usage. Monitoring of
available capacity is essential for any future development. If in the future, the
Board of Supervisors decides that additional capacity is needed in this
Development Area, then major upgrades will be needed for the sewage
treatment facility. In addition to sewer limitations, approval of any development by
rezoning will be predicated on the completion of a number of transportation
improvements, which are identified in the tables in this chapter. These
improvements are needed to improve the volume to capacity ratio of US 250
between Route 22 (Louisa Road) and the City of Charlottesville.
Transportation
Addressing traffic issues on US 250 is the highest priority for the Village of
Rivanna. Several regional projects identified in the next few pages are necessary
to address future growth in a larger area, but also affect the Village of Rivanna.
It is essential that all of the US 250 improvements be constructed before new
development occurs in the Village.
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 31
Community Facilities
Water and Sewer
Because of limitations of the sewage treatment plant, monitoring of all new
development is essential to ensure that adequate capacity exists to serve
existing and new homes, the Glenmore Country Club, and the additional
businesses expected in the Village. Monitoring of water availability is always
necessary in Albemarle County. Although it is adequate at present, additional
water storage may be necessary to serve the Village in coming years.
.qrrhnnlc
At present, schools which serve the Village are operating below capacity. Stone
Robinson is at 76% capacity, Burley Middle is at 67% capacity, and Monticello
High is at 90% capacity. Monitoring of enrollment, which occurs regularly by the
Schools Division of Albemarle County, should be continued to ensure that the
schools meet County standards and do not become overcrowded.
Parks and Greenways
Public parks and greenways are expected to be built in the Village over the next
several years. The community park in the Village Center will be constructed by
the developer of Rivanna Village at Glenmore. After greenway dedication from
the developer of Glenmore occurs, County trail -building can begin. Other trails
connecting different parts of the Village are expected with new development.
PnlirP
Police service is provided on a sector/beat system. Response times meet
service standards. Monitoring of response times should continue in order to
ensure adequate police protection to the Village.
Fire and Rescue
As identified previously, response times for the fire and rescue services meet
standards for Rural Area response. Because the Village is a designated
Development Area, response time should meet standards for Development Area
response. The County and the ERFRS should work to improve response times
to Glenmore as well as new and existing homes in the rest of the Village.
Library
At present library service for the Village of Rivanna meets County standards for
building space and number of libraries per capita. The Village is part of the 25
percent of the service area which must travel greater than ten minutes to get to
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 32
the library. With growth in the rest of the County, the Jefferson -Madison
Regional Library Board and County staff will continue to regularly monitor growth
trends and service needs within the eastern part of Albemarle County. This area
includes Pantops and the Village of Rivanna. A future library is planned for the
urban neighborhoods south of Charlottesville to be built within the next ten years.
This library will also be accessible to residents of the Village. While the Regional
Library Board is not expected to provide a library in the Village of Rivanna, other
methods of providing service in the Village could be considered, such as
increased bookmobile service and kiosks.
Recycling
Curbside recycling exists in the Glenmore development, which is paid for by the
homeowners. Recycling options outside of Glenmore will be explored during the
Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority's Waste Management Plan update.
Historic Resources
As assets to the County, historic resources in and near the Village should be
protected and preserved. To educate residents and visitors on the historic
assets of this part of the County, interpretive areas could be designed and put in
place. New development and redevelopment along US 250 East should be
designed in a manner that is sensitive to its location within Monticello's viewshed
and along a designated Entrance Corridor roadway. The County's voluntary
guidelines for protection of the Monticello viewshed should be followed.
Village of Rivanna Community Advisory Council (RCAC)
As with other master -planned Development Areas, the County's Board of
Supervisors will establish the Village of Rivanna Community Advisory Council
(RCAC) to work with Staff to monitor the implementation of the Village of Rivanna
Master Plan. The form and composition of the RCAC will be determined after
adoption of the plan.
Implementation Plan
The Implementation Plan below outlines the various projects necessary to
achieve the vision for the Village of Rivanna. Transportation improvements
recommended affect not only the Village, but other parts of eastern Albemarle
County. Public road projects are the responsibility of the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT). The County will take the lead in initiating non-public
road projects and coordinating with other entities and agencies. The County may
need to partner with VDOT on some road improvement projects. In some
instances, initiatives will be joint projects and the project manager would not
necessarily be the County. However, a point person from the County will always
be assigned to the project. The table below indicates who would be anticipated
Village of Rivanna Master Plan DRAFT 11-02-09 Page 33
as the project lead and then where necessary, who would be the liaison from the
County if the County is not the lead.
The projects needed to implement the plan are as follows:
