RA to R4 Pursuant to Section 33.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, the Owner hereby voluntarily proffers the conditions listed below which shall be applied to the property, if rezoned. These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and it is acknowledged that such conditions are reasonable. 1. Conformity with Plans: Fontana Phase 4C shall be developed in general accord with the plans entitled, "Fontana - Phase 4C Rezoning Plan," prepared by Terra Engineering and Land Solutions, dated, July 30,2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, (the "Plan"). No more than thirty-four (34) dwelling units shall be developed in Fontana Phase 4C. 2. Final Gradina Plan: The Owner shall submit a final grading plan meeting the requirements of this section (hereinafter, the "Final Grading Plan") with the application for each subdivision of the residential units shown on the Plan identified in Proffer 1 above. The Final Grading Plan shall show existing and proposed topographic features to be considered in the development of the proposed subdivision. The Final Grading Plan shall be approved by the County Engineer prior to the approval of the first preliminary subdivision plat. The subdivision shall be graded as shown on the approved Final Grading Plan. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any dwelling on a lot where the County Engineer has determined the lot is not graded consistent with the approved Final Grading Plan. The Final Grading Plan shall satisfy the following: A. The Final Grading Plan shall show all proposed streets, building sites, surface drainage, driveways, trails, and other features the County Engineer determines are needed to verify that the Plan satisfies the requirements of this proffer. B. The Final Grading Plan shall be drawn to scale not greater than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet. C. All proposed grading shall be shown at contour intervals not greater than two (2) feet. D. All concentrated surface drainages over lots shall be clearly shown with the proposed grading. All proposed grading shall be shown to assure that surface drainage can provide adequate relief from flooding of dwellings in the event a storm sewer fails. Graded slopes on lots proposed to be planted with turf grasses (lawns) shall not exceed a gradient of three (3) feet horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (3: 1). Steeper slopes shall be vegetated with low maintenance vegetation as determined to be appropriate by the County's program authority in its approval of an erosion and sediment control plan for the land disturbing activity. These steeper slopes shall not exceed a gradient of two (2) feet of horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (2: 1), unless the County Engineer finds that the grading recommendations for steeper slopes have adequately addressed the impacts. E. Surface drainage from one-half (1/2) acre of land or from three (3) or more lots, whichever is greater in area, shall be collected in a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside of the lots. 5 F. All drainage from streets shall be carried across lots in a storm sewer to a point beyond the rear of the building site. G. The Final Grading Plan shall demonstrate that an area at least ten (10) feet in width, or to the lot line if the distance is less than ten (10) feet, from the portion of the structure facing the street has grades no steeper than ten (10) percent adjacent to possible entrances that shall not be served by a stairway. This graded area also shall extend from the entrances to the driveways or walkways connecting the dwelling to the street. H. Any requirement of this condition may be waived by the County Engineer by submitting a waiver request with the preliminary plat. If such a request is made, it shall include: (i) a justification for the request contained in a certified engineer's report; (ii) a vicinity map showing a larger street network at a scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals six hundred (600) feet; (iii) a conceptual plan at a scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet showing surveyed boundaries of the property; (iv) topography of the property at five (5) foot intervals for the property being subdivided and on abutting lands to a distance of five hundred (500) feet from the boundary line or a lesser distance determined to be sufficient by the agent; (v) the locations of streams, stream buffers, steep slopes, floodplains, known wetlands; and (vi) the proposed layout of streets and lots, unit types, uses, and location of parking, as applicable. In reviewing a waiver request, the County Engineer shall consider whether the alternative proposed by the Owner satisfies the purpose of the requirement to be waived to at least an equivalent degree. In approving a waiver, the County Engineer shall find that requiring compliance with the requirement of this condition would not forward the purposes of the County's Subdivision and Water Protection Ordinances or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly development of the Project, and to the land adjacent thereto, I. The Owner may request that the Plan be amended at any time. All amendments shall be subject to the review and approval by the County Engineer. 3.

For each cash contribution that is being paid in increments, the unpaid incremental payments shall be correspondingly adjusted each year. 8. Final Approval: The Owner shall not submit an application for an erosion and sediment control permit for grading until improvements have been completed for phases 1, 2, 3, and 4A and 4B of the Fontana Subdivision and all bonds held by the County in conjunction with subdivision, stormwater management, and erosion control for prior phases have been released by the County. 9.

Pursuant to Section 33.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, the Owner hereby voluntarily proffers the conditions listed below which shall be applied to the Property, if rezoned with the offered plans approved for development. These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and it is acknowledged that the conditions are reasonable. 1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Owner shall provide affordable housing equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total residential dwelling units within the Project in the form of for lease or for sale affordable dwelling units (the "Affordable Dwelling Units" or "Affordable Units"). Each subdivision plat and site plan for land within the Property 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, and the aggregate number of such lots or units designated for Affordable Units within each subdivision plat and site plan shall constitute a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the lots in such subdivision plat or site plan. In the event that the number of Affordable Dwelling Units to achieve 15% results in a fractional unit, the Owner shall contribute cash to the County in a proportionate amount based on the amount of $19,100. For example, if 15% equates to 1.8 Affordable Units, the Owner would provide I Affordable Unit pursuant to the terms described herein, and would contribute cash to the County in the amount of $15, 280 be paid prior to issuance of a building permit for the first Affordable Dwelling Unit. The Owner reserves the right, however, to provide two (2) Affordable Units and concede, or gift, the fractional monetary interest, (2 Affordable Units minus 1.8 Affordable Units required equaling a 0.2 affordable overage) to Albemarle County, to meet the County's Affordable Housing Policy. A. The Affordable Dwelling Units shall be comprised of single-family attached housing (townhouses) or single family detached houses at the Owner's option. The Owner or his successor in interest reserves the right to achieve the 15% Affordable Dwelling Units in a variety of ways, utilizing the above mentioned unit types alone or in combination as outlined below. The Owner shall convey the responsibility of constructing the affordable units to any subsequent purchaser of the Property. The current Owner or subsequent Owner shall create units affordable to households with incomes less than 80% of the area median family income (the "Affordable Unit Qualifying Income"), such that housing costs consisting of principal, interest, real estate taxes and homeowner's insurance (PITI) do not exceed 30% of the Affordable Unit Qualifying Income; provided, however, that in no event shall the selling price of such Affordable Units be required to be less than the greater of One Hundred Ninety Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($190,400.00) or sixty- five percent (65%) of the applicable Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) maximum mortgage for first- time home buyers at the beginning of the 90-day identification and qualification period referenced below. The Owner or his successor in interest may at its option facilitate the provision of down payment assistance loans to 12 reduce the out-of- pocket cash requirement costs to the homebuyer, such as, but not limited to a second lien Deed of Trust, so that the resultant first mortgage and housing costs remain at or below the parameters described herein. All financial programs or instruments described herein must be acceptable to the primary mortgage lender. Any second lien Deed of Trust executed as part of this paragraph for the 15% required affordable housing shall be donated to the County of Albemarle or its designee to be used to address affordable housing. For purposes of calculating the price of the Affordable Dwelling Units, the value of Seller-paid closing costs shall be excluded from the selling price of such Affordable Dwelling Units. i. For-Sale Affordable Units - All purchasers of for-sale Affordable Units shall be approved by the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee. The Owner shall provide the County or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to identify and pre-qualify an eligible purchaser for the Affordable Units. The 90-day period shall commence upon written notice from the Owner that the units will be available for sale. This notice shall not be given more than 120 days prior to the anticipated receipt of the certificate of occupancy. If the County or its designee does not provide a qualified purchaser during this ninety (90) day period, the Owner shall have the right to sell the Unites) without any restriction on sales price or income of purchaser(s); provided, however, that any Units(s) sold or leased without such restriction shall nevertheless be counted toward the number of Affordable Units required to be provided pursuant to the terms of this proffer. If these Units are sold, this proffer shall apply only to the first sale of each unit. Nothing herein shall preclude the then-current Owner/builder from working with the County Housing Department prior to the start of the notification periods described herein in an effort to identify qualifying purchasers for Affordable Units. ii. For-Rent Affordable Units 1. Rental Rates For-Lease Affordable Units The initial net rent for each for- rent Affordable Unit when the Unites) is available for occupancy shall not exceed the then-current and applicable maximum net rent as published by the County Housing Office. In each subsequent calendar year, the monthly net rent for each for-rent affordable unit may be increased up to three percent (3%). For purposes of this proffer statement, the term "net rent" means that the rent does not include tenant-paid utilities. The requirement that the rents for such for-rent Affordable Units may not exceed the maximum rents established in this paragraph 1A(ii)(1) shall apply for a period often (10) years following the date the certificate of occupancy is issued by the County for each for-rent Affordable Unit, or until the units are sold as affordable units as defined by the County's Affordable Housing Policy, whichever comes first (the "Affordable Term"). 2. Conveyance of Interest - All instruments conveying any interest in the for-rent affordable units during the Affordable Term shall contain language reciting that such unit is subject to the terms of this paragraph 1A. In addition, all contracts pertaining to a conveyance of any for-rent affordable unit, or any part thereof during the Affordable Term shall contain a complete and full disclosure of the restrictions and controls established by this paragraph 1A(ii). At least thirty (30) days prior to the conveyance of any interest in any for-rent affordable unit during the Affordable Term, the then-current owner shall notify the County in writing of the conveyance and provide the name, address and telephone number of the potential grantee, and state that the requirements of this paragraph IA(ii) have been satisfied. 3.

In addition, during the Affordable Term, the then-current owner shall provide to the County, if requested, any reports, copies of rental or lease agreements, or other data pertaining to rental rates as the County may reasonably require. B. County Option for Cash In Lieu of Affordable Units. If at any time prior to the County's approval of any preliminary site plan or subdivision plat for the subject property which includes one or more for-sale Affordable Dwelling Units, the Housing Office informs the then-current owner/builder in writing that it may not have a qualified purchaser for one or more of the for-sale Affordable Dwelling Units at the time that the then-current owner/builder expects the units to be completed, and that the Housing Office will instead accept a cash contribution to the Housing Office to support affordable housing programs in the amount of Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($19,100) in lieu of each Affordable Unites), then the then-current owner/builder shall pay such cash contribution to the County prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the Unites) that were originally planned to be Affordable Dwelling Units, and the then-current owner/builder shall have the right to sell the Unites) without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s). For the purposes of this proffer, such Affordable Dwelling Units shall be deemed to have been provided when the subsequent owner/builder provides written notice to the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee that the Affordable Units(s) will be available for sale. 2. CASH PROFFER A. The Owner shall contribute cash to the County in the following amounts for each dwelling unit constructed within the Property that is not an Affordable Dwelling Unit.

In no event shall any cash contribution amount be adjusted to a sum less than the amount initially established by these proffers. The annual adjustment shall be made by multiplying the proffered cash contribution amount for the preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Index as of December 1 in the preceding calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be the Index as of December 1 in the year preceding the calendar year most recently ended. For each cash contribution that is being paid in increments, the unpaid incremental payments shall be correspondingly adjusted each year. 14 3. Total Number of Dwelling Units and Unit Types.

Tucker, Davis, Elliott, and White ATTACHMENTS: No LEGAL REVIEW: Yes REVIEWED BY: -"" BACKGROUND: The Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund was established in 1994 by an agreement between the County of Albemarle, the Charlottesville Housing Foundation (CHF), and the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP). The purpose of the Trust Fund is to hold notes and deeds of trust on houses in Crozet Crossings and to collect and distribute funds upon the resale of the houses. The Trust Fund must meet the requirements set forth by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development under the provisions of the Community Development Block Grant Program. One of the requirements is that the collected funds must be used for housing projects that benefit low- and moderate-income households The Fund is managed by five trustees (two representing the County, two representing CHF and one representing AHIP) and is staffed by the County's Chief of Housing. The Trustees are required to submit an annual report of the Trust Fund finances and activities to the Board. STRATEGIC PLAN: Objective 1.2: By June 30, 2010, working in partnership with others, increase affordable housing opportunities for those who work and/or live in Albemarle County. DISCUSSION: The Trustees of the Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund met on January 30, 2008 to review the financial status of the fund and review/approve funding requests submitted by two nonprofit applicants. The Fund is in good financial condition with cash on hand in the amount of $399,850.64 as of December 31,2007. In addition, the Fund has potential receivables representing eleven (11) loans totaling $234,420 in original subsidy amounts and the potential to recapture through shared appreciation $254,193 based on assessed values. The amount of shared appreciation is based on sales price or assessed value at the time that actions trigger repayment (sale or refinancing). There is one loan in bankruptcy that is not included in these amounts. Last year the Trustees approved, and the Board appropriated, $60,000 to Habitat for Humanity to assist in constructing two houses for households with disabled residents who were living in substandard conditions. These projects are underway. Two new applications were received in January 2008 requesting a total of $400,000 of funding. AHIP submitted an application for its proposed Treesdale Park development that will provide ninety (90) units of affordable rental housing. Jordan Development Corporation, with Piedmont Housing Alliance, requested funding for the rehabilitation of twenty-eight existing rental units for seniors and the construction of thirty-eight new rental units for seniors at Crozet Meadows. The Trustees approved $252,000 for Treesdale and $134,400 for Crozet Meadows. Once these projects receive other financial commitments and are ready to begin construction, the Trustees will request the Board to appropriate the approved funding. BUDGET IMPACT: There is no general fund budget impact, as these funds come from a restricted account required to fund housing projects. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff, on behalf of the Trustees, recommends that the Board review and accept this report on the Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund. COUNTY OF ALBEMA.RLE ~.'"'

Calhoun, Thomas Calhoun, Dayid Calhoun, Andrew Calhoun, Jonathan Calhoun, Henry W. Calhoun et al) and Tax Map 118, Parcel18A (Property of Mitchell O. Carr, Trustee) Scottsville Magisterial District Dear Mr. Collins: The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above-noted property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that Tax Map 118, Parcel 17 is comprised of three separate parcels. Each of these parcels has five (5) theoretical development rights. It is also my official determination that Tax Map 118, Parcel18A is comprised of four separate parcels. Each of these parcels has five (5) theoretical development rights. These seven parcels are further identified on this matrix. The basis for this determination follows. Key # TMP Parcel 1 T.

(107.75 + 40.75 [Lot 5] + 40.5 [Lot 2] = 188.75) (188.75 + 36.75 [Lot 3 T.M. 118- 24] + 37.5 [Lot 4 T.M. 118-18C] = 263.25) This parcel actually contains approximately 188.75 acres. The 263.25 figure includes T.M.118- 18C & 24. The County's records will be corrected. I :\DEPT\Community DevelopmentlZoning & Current Development Division\Detenninations of Parcel\2007\ 118-17 Calhoun LOD-2007-31.doc David Collins February 29, 2008 Page 2 Our records indicate Tax Map 118, Parcel18A contains 150.180 acres and no dwellings. The property is not Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 3241, page 129. The four original tracts that comprise this parcel are calculated to contain a total of 122.25 acres. (39.25 + 33 + 25 + 25 = 122.25) The discrepancy of 27.93 acres is not explained. This analysis begins with the deed of record in Deed Book 72, page 131 that is dated March 20, 1877. The deed contains a plat showing 6 parcels described and identified as as follows: Lot NO.1 contains 39.25 acres. It is a portion of TM. 118-18A. This established Lot No.1 as a parcel of record. [Key # 4] Lot NO.2 contains 40.5 acres. It is a portion of the part ofTM. 118-17 that is located to the southeast of Parcel 18A. This established Lot No.2 as a parcel of record. [Key # 3] Lot NO.3 contains contains 36.75 acres. It is designated as T.M.118-24. It is not part of this determination. Lot NO.4 contains 37.5 acres. It is designated as T.M. 118-18C. It is not part of this determination. Lot NO.5 contains 40.75 acres. It is a portion of the part of TM. 118-17 that is located southeast of T M. 118-18A. This established Lot No.5 as a parcel of record. [Key # 2] Lot No.6 contains 47.25 acres. It is designated as TM.118-18B. It is not part of this determination. Deed Book 94, page 245, dated August 29,1890, conveyed 107.75 acres from J. W. Martin and W. B. Martin to J. W. Bowen. The land is described by metes and bounds that are depicted on a sketch among the County's real estate records. The sketch, David Collins' preliminary sketch and an unrecorded plat by R. O. Snow and R. W. Ray dated April 23, 1984 all show a discrepancy with the current tax map. I find that the portion of T.M. 118-17 that is shown to be adjacent to TM. 118-27 is actually a part of Tax Map 110, Parcel 27. Mr. Collins has noted that the description in this deed does not close which accounts for the two lines on the western side of the county sketch and Area "A2" on the Collins sketch plat. This is not surprising considering the date of the deed and the mountainous terrain of the property. This deed established the 107.75 acre tract, a portion of T .M. 118-17 as a parcel of record. Its exact boundary must be determined by a modern survey. [Key # 1] Deed Book 123, page 60, contains a plat Titled Tract NO.2 Albemarle Orchard Co. on Appleberry Mountain that was recorded on May 15, 1908. The plat shows 5 tracts. 1:IDEPT\Community DevelopmentlZoning & Current Development DivisionlDeterminations of Parcel\20071118-17 Calhoun LOD-2007-31.doc David Collins February 29,2008 Page 3 Tracts 1 thru 4 each contain 25 acres. Tract 5 contains 33 acres. Tracts 3, 4 and 5 are currently shown as part of Tax Map 118, Parcel 18A. This deed established tracts 3, 4 & 5, which are portions of T.M. 118-18A, as parcels of record. [Key #s 5, 6 & 7] Deed Book 213, page 308, dated June 10,1931, conveyed two tracts from Anna Powell, John L. Powell and Virgie M. Powell to P. M. Jones Sarah H. Jones and W. R. Moore. The first is described as containing 107.75 acres and the second containing 70 acres. Both of these parcels are described by reference to Deed Book 170, page 342. The deed also conveyed two tracts from John L. Powell and Virgie M. Powell to P. M. Jones, Sarah H. Jones and W. R. Moore. The first contains 40.5 acres and is described by reference to Deed Book 170, page 152 and the second containing 48 acres and described by reference to Deed Book 72, page 131. This has no effect on development rights of the 107 .5-acre parcel. Deed Book 231, page 5, dated July 12,1935, conveyed two parcels from H. W. Walsh and Lyttleton Waddell, Trustees to P. M. Jones. The parcels are described as 107.74 acres and 70 acres, respectively, and further described by reference to Deed Book 213, page 308. This has no effect on development rights of the 107.5-acre parcel.

(b) That certain tract adjoining the tract above described containing 70 acres. These are further described as being the same property conveyed to the grantors by the deeds of record in Deed Book 213, page 308 and Deed Book 231, page 5. Parcel Nos. 3 and 4: (a) That certain parcel containing 40-1/2 acres, more or less; and On the basis of this deed, this parcel, a portion ofT.M.118-17 and designated as Lot 2 is determined to be a parcel of record with five development rights. [Key #3] (b) That certain parcel containing 48 acres. There is no parcel containing 48 acres on the survey recorded in Deed Book 72, page 131. It is assumed this is Lot No.5 that contains 40.75 acres. On the basis of this deed, this parcel, a portion of T .M. 118-17 and designated as Lot 5 is determined to be a parcel of record with five 1:\DEPT\Community Development\Zoning & Current Development Division\Determinations of Parcel\200?\118-1?

COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 Phone (434) 296-5832 Fax (434) 972-4126 March 3, 2008 J. Alden English, Esquire c/o McGuireWoods LLP P. O. Box 1288 Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF PARCELS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS-- Tax Map 79, Parcel 10 (Property of Albemarle Edgehill Farm LLC) Rivanna Magisterial District Dear Mr. English: The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above-noted property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that Tax Map 79, Parcel 10 is three parcels of record with a total of eleven (11) theoretical development rights, as summarized in the table below. The basis for this determination follows the table. Our records indicate Tax Map 79, Parcel 1 0 contains 866. 167acres and four dwellings. The property is not within an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 3364, page 522. Tax Ma -Parcel, Tract # Tax Ma 79-10, Tract #1 Tax Ma 79-10, Tract #2 Tax Map 79-10, Tract #3 Acrea e 715.00 Acres 1 & 1/30 Acres 172.58 Acres 888.61 Acres Develo This analysis begins with the deed of record in Deed Book 185, page 85, dated November 30,1923, as amended by correction deed in Deed Book 186, page 455, dated March 29, 1924. Both deeds conveyed 715 acres, more or less, from Norvin T. Harris & wife to Edward Dickinson Tayloe. This deed established the first tract as a parcel of record with five (5) theoretical development rights. Deed Book 202, page 444, dated June 1, 1928, conveyed 1 1/30th acres, more or less, from Willie M. Smith and others to Edward Dickinson Tayloe. This deed established the second tract as a parcel of record with one (1) theoretical development right. 1:\DEPT\Community Development\Zoning & Current Development Division\Determinations of Parcel\2007\79-1 0 LOD2007 -54, 1 Alb. Edgehill Farm .doc Deed Book 234, page 392, dated February 5, 1937, conveyed 173.8 acres, more or less, from W. D. Haden & wife to Edward Dickinson Tayloe. This deed established the third tract as a parcel of record with five (5) theoretical development rights. Deed Book 329, page 120, dated December 28, 1956, conveyed 889 acres, more or less, from the Executors under the will of Edward Dickinson Tayloe and Edward Thornton Tayloe & Virginia Baird Tayloe, his wife, to Ray A. Graham, III. This deed describes the land known as "Edgehill" containing 889 acres more or less as being composed of the same three tracts described in Deed Book 185, page 85, Deed Book 186, page 455, Deed Book 202, page 444 and Deed Book 234, page 392. This is the most recent instrument for this parcel recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10,1980. Based on this deed, Tax Map 79, Parcel 10 is determined to be three parcels of record with a total of eleven (11) theoretical development rights. Deed Book 3364, page 522, dated February 7,2007, conveyed 866.07 acres from Ray A. Graham, III to Albemarle Edgehill Farm, LLC. The property is described as being the same as the "899 acres" that was conveyed by Deed Book 329, page 120. The difference in acreage is due to conveyances, through condemnation, to the State of Virginia for road construction. This transaction had no effect on the parcels or the development rights. The parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable regulations can be met. These development rights may only be utilized within the bounds of the original parcel with which they are associated. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do represent the maximum number of lots containing less than twenty one acres allowed to be created by right. In addition to the development right lots, the parcel may create as many smaller parcels containing a minimum of twenty-one acres as it has land to make. If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $120. The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me. Ronald L.

COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Community Development Block Grant Program AGENDA DATE: March 19, 2008 ACTION: X INFORMATION: SU BJECT/PROPOSALlREQUEST: Public Hearing for Proposed Submission of Block Grant Applications CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: INFORMATION: STAFF CONTACT(S): Messrs. Tucker, Davis, Elliott, White ATTACHMENTS: Yes REVIEWED BY: /~ r LEGAL REVIEW: Yes BACKGROUND: The Virginia Community Development Block Grant (VCDBG) is a federally-funded grant program administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Since 1982, the DHCD has provided funding to eligible units of local government (non-entitlement communities only) for projects which address critical community needs including housing, infrastructure, and economic development. Albemarle County has received numerous grants in previous years to support housing and community improvement initiatives. The VCDBG application process requires that two local public hearings be conducted. The first public hearing was held on February 6, 2008 at which time information was provided on eligible activities that may be funded by VCDBG, the amount of funding estimated to be available, past activities undertaken with VCDBG funds and the process for applying for funding. There was no public comment tendered at that hearing. The purpose of this public hearing is to provide information on proposed project applications and to accept public comment on the applications. Applications are submitted by the County to DHCD; however, the proposed activities may be undertaken by other agencies. Albemarle County can submit one or more applications but is limited to awards totaling no more than $2.5 million. STRATEGIC PLAN: Objective 1.2 By June 30, 2010, working in partnership with others, increase affordable housing opportunities for those who work and/or live in Albemarle County. DISCUSSION: Two project applications with eligible activities under VCDBG guidelines were submitted for consideration by the Board. Both projects are requesting $700,000, the maximum allowed for the proposed activity of providing funding for on-site infrastructure associated with housing production projects. A detailed project description and proposed development budget are included in the two attachments. Following is a brief summary of each proposal: Treesdale Park Apartments (Attachment A) is a proposed ninety (90) unit rental development on Rio Road to be undertaken by the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP). VCDBG funds would be used for site development, roads, sidewalks, and installation of water and sewer lines. AHIP's development budget includes over $9 million in equity financing through the federal low-income housing tax credit program for which an application was submitted in February. AHIP is proposing that the County seek VCDBG funds in the form of a grant that would become a deferred loan to the project with repayment at the end of the tax credit compliance period at which time AHIP will have first right-of-refusal to purchase the property. Crozet Meadows Senior Housinq (Attachment B) involves the renovation of twenty-eight (28) existing rental units and the development of thirty-eight (38) new rental units in Crozet. The project is a joint venture between Jordan Development Corporation, the current owner, and the Piedmont Housing Alliance. VCDBG funds would be used for site work, roads, and AGENDA TITLE: Community Development Block Grant Program March 19, 2008 Page 2 installation of water and sewer lines. Crozet Meadows has also submitted an application for federal low-income housing tax credits. As with Treesdale, VCDBG funds for Crozet Meadows will be requested in the form of a grant and deferred loan. It is important to the financial feasibility of both proposed developments that VCDBG funds be awarded to the County as a grant so that the County can provide deferred loans to the developments. DHCD's program guidelines indicate that funding for on-site infrastructure would be repayable at the completion and occupancy of the development. Such a funding structure could result in an increase in rents of $20 to $50 per month. County staff has met with DHCD staff to emphasize the importance of using VCDBG funding as long-term deferred financing and the Housing Committee followed up with a letter (Attachment C) to stress the need for a grant to the County so that the County can make a deferred loans to the proposed developments. DHCD staff encouraged the County to proceed with the applications making a case for the need for deferred loans to both developments. If one or both proposals are awarded VCDBG funds, there will be additional opportunities to address this issue, if it still exists, prior to executing a contract with DHCD. BUDGET IMPACT: There is no budgetary impact unless or until an application is made and approved for a funded project. Fifty-six thousand dollars is included in each application to cover administrative and project management costs for the funded activities. Projects applying for VCDBG generally require some level of local financial support. Albemarle County has been successful in the past using some of its annual contributions to affordable housing as local support for projects. In addition, the Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund has approved awards to Treesdale Park for $252,000 and Crozet Meadows in the amount of $134,400. The Board of Supervisors will be requested to appropriate these funds, currently available in a restricted account, as the projects move forward. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board, after receiving information on the proposed VCDBG applications and taking public comment on the proposals, adopt the two resolutions (Attachments E and F) approving submission of the applications, and authorize the County Executive to execute the applications and required certifications and assurances for both proposals (Attachments F through H).

Boyd, Chairman, Board of Supervisors [pROJECT NAME:I IPROJECT TYPE:I Treesdale Park Housing Production 'ROJECT DESCRIPTION :1 Albemarle County is requesting CDBG funding to support the development of ninety (90) units of affordable rental housing. CDBG funds will be used specifically for the installation of necessary on-site infrastructure to support the development including site work, paving, sidewalks, curbs and gutter, water and sewer lines. The Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) currently owns the land for the proposed development. They will also act as developers and manage the property upon completion. AHIP has applied for federal low-income housing tax credits which will provide over $9 million in equity financing. More importantly, using tax credits, 100% of the units must house families with incomes at or below 60% of the area median income for at least fifteen years. An estimated 200 persons will initially benefit from the proposed 90-unit development. AHIP has experience in developing and managing multifamily property as evidenced by the acquisition and renovation of96 units at Park's Edge Apartments, formally Whitewood Road Apartments. Since the completion of the renovation, Park's Edge has seen improved occupancy rates and the addition of tenant services including a successful after-schoold program. This service-enriched model is also proposed for Treesdale Park.

ICENSUS INFORMATION :1 Census Place Code Census Tract(s) 106 Blocks / Block Groups 4 PROPOSAL SUMMARY Albemarle County respectfully requests $700,000 in Housing Production CDBG funds to enable the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) to perform on-site improvements for the Treesdale Park project. Treesdale Park will provide 90 new affordable rental units to households in the Charlottesville MSA at or below 60% AMI. The project's Attachment A-7 location, in Albemarle County just north of the Charlottesville City line, will allow Treesdale Park to link housing, services, and jobs for residents in our community. Along with 90 units of housing, AHIP will build a separate multilevel community center building, which will include an 800-square foot multiuse gathering space and additional space for a computer lab, classes, both daycare and aftercare programs, and the Treesdale leasing office. Upon completion, the Treesdale Park will serve as a national model for high-quality, innovative and sustainable affordable housing-housing that will provide long-term benefit for our environment, our community, and each and every resident who calls it home. The site of the Treesdale development has significant slope and access issues. Land in Albemarle County that is both close to services and within the development area is limited, topographically challenging and expensive. Although the property is expensive to develop, no other options exist in the development area of Albemarle County. Additionally housing, both owner-occupied and rental, competes with two other major needs - transportation and environmental initiatives. Treesdale Park not only addresses affordable housing needs, but includes transportation upgrades and several green features. Provision of CDBG grant money is critical to the success of the Treesdale project. Not only will funds enable AHIP to reduce out-of-pocket site development costs thus allowing AHIP to provide some lower price point rents than would be possible without subsidy, but the project can only sustain an acceptable debt-service ratio with CDBG grant money. When the CDBG funds are factored into the project proforma as a deferred payment loan, our Debt Service Coverage is 110% as required by VHDA for their Taxable Bond Financing. When the $700,000 is included as a permanent loan, the Debt Service Coverage is just 99%, thereby making the project infeasible. Thus CDBG grant money is essential to making the Treesdale Park project achievable. Albemarle County has committed 21 Section 8 vouchers toward funding of affordable units at Treesdale. Albemarle County has also committed $252,000 from the Crozet Crossing Fund. The Kresge and Charlottesville Community Foundation have committed $125,000 in funding. The Albemarle Housing Improvement Program will submit competitive applications for additional funding to the following organizations: Albemarle County CDBG Kresge/Community Foundation' $3,500,000 $700,000 TJPDC FHLB AHP (committed) $125,000 $150,000 $500,000 Additionally, AHIP will be applying for $5,400,000 in VHDA taxable bond financing and a $950,000 SP ARC loan. COMMON PROPOSAL ELEMENTS Project Service Area: Attachment A-8 The Treesdale Park Apartment development will be located on 6.6 acres in Albemarle County at 640 E. Rio Road. The property is located in the Rio Magisterial District and includes Parcels 182, 183, and 183A of Albemarle County Tax Map 61. The property is located one mile north of the City of Charlottesville and the Rt. 250 By Pass, and two miles from the Rt. 29 North Corridor. The property has 450 feet of frontage along Rio Road. The property slopes downhill away from Rio Road. Roughly 350 feet from Rio Road the slope increases significantly. The rear of the property consists of a narrow strip 6O'wide and 650' long that will be dedicated to the future greenway trail along the Meadow Creek Parkway. According to the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan the property is located in Neighborhood 2 and contains an Urban Density Designation. This designation provides a residential density of 6-34 units per acre. The Treesdale Park Apartment development proposes 14 units per acre and is zoned Planned Residential Development. The surrounding neighborhood includes a mix of single family homes, town homes, duplexes, triplexes, two schools and a large park. Rio Road is a heavily traveled roadway but that condition will be improved by the construction of the Meadow Creek Parkway starting February, 2008. Project Needs/Opportunities and Demand: Where does this project fit within the locality's overall community development needs? As a high cost community, Albemarle County has significant affordable housing challenges. Affordable housing production is likely to be the major community development need and initiative over the next several years in Albemarle County. Housing preservation and rehabilitation opportunities, although still among the most important community needs, exist on scattered sites rather than a community level improvement basis. The County has recognized affordable housing as a top priority in its Strategic Plan. In recognition of this growing problem, the county has instituted an affordable housing policy. Although meant to address the range oflow- to moderate-income housing needs, the policy has only begun to address the needs of households at 80% AMI through private development proffers. With the exception of two developments that exclusively serve senior citizens, there has been no new construction of units affordable for non-elderly individuals or families at or below 50 percent of AMI. What is the need/opportunity associated with this project? The Treesdale Park Project will serve households whose needs have not been adequately met through Albemarle County policy by creating 90 new affordable rental units for those earning at or below 60% AMI. A total of 9 units are proposed to be rent restricted to 40% of AMI; a total of 12 units are proposed to be rent restricted to 50% of AMI; a total of 69 units are proposed to be rent restricted to 60% of AMI; no units are proposed to be set aside as a market rate units; a total of 21 units are proposed to benefit from project-based rental assistance. Rental units available to individuals utilizing vouchers are in great demand. According to Albemarle County Office of Housing data, out of all the applicants on the waiting list, only about 50% actually complete the application process. Once the applicants receive the voucher, only about 12-15% of those successfully find a rental within their means. Success of this project is contingent on CDBG grant funding. AHIP's most recent pro-forma anticipates $700,000 in a deferred payment loan from Albemarle County using CDBG grant funding, and the maximum amount feasible to request from the LlHTC program ($9.7M). Additional sources offering either reduced interest loans or grants were factored in. When the CDBG funds are considered in the project proforma as a deferred payment loan, our Debt Service Coverage is 110% as required by VHDA for their Taxable Bond Financing. When the $700,000 is factored in as a permanent loan, the Debt Service Coverage is just 99%, thereby making the project infeasible. It is critical to the project that CDBG funds be structured so that additional debt service is not required. Per LlHTC guidelines, the developer of this project would be eligible to claim a developer's fee of $2 million. To keep the LlHTC proposal competitive in the cost category, AHIP has chosen to invest the majority of that fee back into the project. Of that amount, we are deferring approximately $1,400,000 of the developer's fee and $450,000 of the land Attachment A-9 value. The only return AHIP hopes to recover from this project is out-of-pocket investment in order to develop new projects in the future. How were the project needs identified and quantified? Project needs were quantified and identified through an independent market analysis provided by Allen & Associates Consulting and the State of Housing Report of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District. Information from the Albemarle County Office of Housing waiting list was used to determine need and unit mix. Despite plummeting real estate values across the country, Albemarle County continues to be one of the most expensive areas for both buyers and renters in the state. Increase in area housing costs has increased the cost of rental housing and constant pressure exerted on the market by student renters continues to drive up the cost of rental housing. Additionally the current housing crisis has led many who may have considered ownership to seek rental opportunities, further constricting rental supply. The 2005 Metropolitan Statistical Area median monthly gross rent establishes the Charlottesville MSA as the second most expensive area for renters in the Commonwealth just behind Northern Virginia. Housing is not only expensive, but in short supply especially for those in the target population. The State of Housing Report, which details the housing situation in the entire Thomas Jefferson Planning District, indicates a gross deficit in rental units of3,9l7 for those earning below 30% AMI and a 745 unit deficit for those earning up to 50% AMI. This shortfall is confirmed by the Albemarle County housing waitlist. In 2006-2007 665 people applied for housing assistance, 577 of those who applied were at or below 30% AMI. 74% of applicants were seeking two bedroom housing. It is important to note that Albemarle County, with Charlottesville City, account for the majority of the population, jobs, services, and housing in the Planning District. Need for affordable rental housing is commonly indicated by the vacancy rate. A five percent vacancy rate is generally accepted as the minimum level below which a shortfall in rental housing is noted. In the Charlottesville MSA, rental housing is in short supply with renter vacancy rates recorded at 3.9% in 2005. Vacancy rates are even lower for units serving households with incomes at or below 60% AMI. According to the Allen & Associates Market Study commissioned by AHIP, vacancy rates for low income housing (below 60% AMI) are at 2%. Demand is further illustrated in this market analysis. The analysis includes the three different measures of demand typically defined by affordable multifamily industry participants. The first definition is based on the number of income- qualified renter households in the primary market area; the second focuses on the number of income-qualified overburdened and substandard renter households; the third looks at income-qualified renter movership and renter household growth. These three measures project demand between 1388 and 449 qualified households. Demand for affordable units will likely increase in the future. The average household income for the market area increased from $36,135 in 1990 to $57,762 in 2006. Average household income is forecasted to increase 1.9 percent annually through 2011. This compares with a projected consumer price index growth of 3.1 percent, suggesting that erosion in real disposable income is taking place in the market area. This most affects households with low median incomes who have little disposable income. How are stakeholders involved in this project and do they demand a solution? The Albemarle Housing Improvement Program is a Community Housing Development Organization. As such, the board is governed by members of the community with its Board of Directors consisting of at least one-third low-income representatives. Board members have been involved in guiding the direction of the project throughout the rezoning process and numerous meetings between stakeholders and AHIP. As part of the rezoning process, several neighborhood meetings have been conducted to gather concerns and suggestions from the neighborhood. In addition, public comments were taken at Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings. These suggestions and comments were then used in the revisions made to our apartment design and site plan, which were then re-submitted and presented to the neighborhood and County staff for review. AHIP received a $50,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation to be used for pre-development and design of the green, sustainable features for the project. As part of this process AHIP created a "Green Team" of professionals, staff, volunteers, and neighborhood representatives. Several charettes and neighborhood meetings were conducted to provide input, and research into the design of the site and the buildings.

Attachment A-II Over the next 30 years an estimated 900 families will be provided affordable rental housing In Albemarle County. Capacity: As Chief of Housing for Albemarle County, Ron White will be responsible for oversight and administration of the Community Development Block Grant for Treesdale Park Apartments. This application for CDBG funds is being submitted by The County of Albemarle on behalf of the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) which will develop, own, and manage the project, Treesdale Park Apartments. Albemarle County and AHIP have a long history of working together to address the housing needs or our low income residents. Since its inception in 1977 AHIP has received on-going operating support from the County of Albemarle. Since 1995, AHIP has received on-going operating support from the City of Charlottesville. In addition, AHIP has successfully administered the following sources of funding to the benefit of thousands of Albemarle County and City of Charlottesville residents: · A 1978 Small Cities HUD CDBG Grant for installation of indoor plumbing and site development of a Self Help Housing Project. · Four Community Development Block Grants for Albemarle County for housing rehabilitation. · One Community Development Block Grant for Albemarle County to provide infrastructure for Crozet Crossing, a 30 unit subdivision for sale to first time homebuyers. · Marketed, sold and arranged financing for above 30 homebuyers for Crozet Crossing Subdivision utilizing funds from the Virginia Housing Partnership Program, the Virginia Housing Development Authority, and the Rural Development Service. · Three Department of Health and Human Services, Discretionary Grants for Housing Rehabilitation. · AHIP has administered the City of Charlottesville entitlement CDBG funds for Housing Rehabilitation since 1995. · One Section 523 Self Help Housing Technical Assistance Grant from the Rural Development Service (FmHA) · Five Rural Development Section 533 Housing Preservation Grants · Over 100 Rural Development Section 504 Grants and Loans. · Developed 12 Rent-to-Own units utilizing funds from HOME, CDBG, CHDO HOME, VHDA, and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. · AHIP has administered the State of Virginia's Indoor Plumbing Rehabilitation Program in Albemarle County since its inception in 1991. · Provided Housing Rehabilitation component for Porter-Yancey Community Development Block Grant in Albemarle County 2000. · Community Development Block Grant for Park's Edge Apartments Community Building in 2003 (formerly Whitewood Village). This included acquisition and rehab using the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program for 96 units. · In 2005 AHIP completed the design, construction, and sale of 5 green, sustainable, single family homes at the Camp Springs Subdivision in Esmont. These homes were sold to low income, first time buyers, and included Insulated Concrete Form Construction, Rainwater Harvesting Systems, Hardi Plank siding, Eco-Shakes (100% recycled with 50 year warranty), Solartubes, high efficiency appliances and HV AC systems, and BioDiffuser Septic Chamber Systems. As the Executive Director of AHIP, Theresa Tapscott is responsible for the overall management of the corporation and compliance with all funding regulations. With over thirty years of experience in affordable housing and the administration of numerous state and federal funding programs, Ms. Tapscott will oversee the development of Treesdale Park Apartments and the administration of all funding sources. The Associate Director for Real Estate Development, Joyce Dudek, is responsible for the development and implementation of all rental property development for AHIP. As the primary staff person for the Treesdale project she is responsible for the day to day management of the project as it moves forward. This includes coordination of the development team, coordination with the County of Albemarle, and management of funding sources including Low Income Housing Tax Credits, HOME, CDBG, and other private or public grants and loans. Ms. Dudek has extensive experience in the affordable housing field and has worked with CDBG programs, HOME, VHDA, DHCD, and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. The AHIP Board of Directors and the AHIP Real Estate Committee provide oversight and advisory consultation. Our board includes four real estate developers who are extremely knowledgeable about the real estate development process for housing and commercial activities. The AHIP Board and committees meet monthly and on an as needed basis to monitor the progress of Trees dale Park. BRW Architects will provide construction management services during the construction phase of the project. Once our funding sources are secured we will procure a contractor to provide construction services. Attachment A-12 Jeffrey Michael Meyer from the Virginia Community Development Corporation will provide on-going assistance and consultation regarding the allocation of tax credits for the project through the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. In 2006 AHIP began the process of rezoning the Treesdale Park property to maximize density and provide a significant number of affordable units. As part of this process we procured Architectural and Engineering services to complete the rezoning and provide the necessary level of design for final site plan approval. BRW Architects of Charlottesville was chosen to provide design services for the project. The Cox Company is providing planning and engineering services. As part of our design for the Treesdale Park Apartments we are committed to providing a green, sustainable, energy efficient product for our future residents. Our residential buildings will be constructed as EarthCraft certified and our Community Building will be built with green, sustainable design methods. AHIP was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation to pay for planning and development of our sustainable activities. As part of that process, AHIP created our project development team. For this pre-development and estimating phase it was very important to us to have the most accurate cost estimates, especially for our green building components. According to the green building community of experts, the Earth Craft process should, at most, increase the cost of construction by 2-3%. However, in most cases, that increase is off set by cost reductions in other areas. And, over the life of the project, the operating expenses for the owner and the tenants are significantly reduced. In addition to our green consultants, architect, and engineers, we felt it was extremely important to partner with a contractor for the pre-development phase of the project. After interviewing four very knowledgeable and experienced contractors we chose Artisan Construction to provide estimating and consulting services for this phase of the project. We were very specific in our discussions with all four contractors that this would not be a contract for construction services but rather an agreement to provide estimating services and expertise on green building methods. Artisan Construction has been one of the leading residential and commercial contractors in Charlottesville dedicated to providing green, energy efficient, sustainable products. Doug Lowe, President and founder of Artisan Construction, is a LEED professional. LEED stands for Leader in Energy and Environmental Design and is the certification program run by the u.s. Green Building Council. Doug is also very familiar with the EarthCraft Certification Program. In 2006, Doug Lowe and Artisan Construction built one of the first LEED certified homes in the United States. Artisan Construction has worked on projects that include insulated concrete foundations, super high efficiency HV AC systems, geothermal systems, passive solar and active solar hot water, rain gardens, exterior shading systems, reclaimed wood flooring, fresh air intake, deliberate recycling of construction waste, grey water recovery, and rain water harvesting systems. AHIP has brought together a highly experienced, professional team for our Treesdale Park development.

Readiness: Affordable housing production in Albemarle County is most likely to be the major community development need and initiative over the next several years. These initiatives should include on going support for owner-occupied housing and increased emphasis on the need for affordable rental housing. This crisis of affordable housing competes with transportation issues and environmental initiatives in the County. The Treesdale Park project addresses the need for affordable rentals, sustainable development practices, and the issue of traffic concerns in this area of Albemarle County. Attachment A-13 Treesdale Park will provide 90 units of affordable, sustainable, energy efficient rental housing for families at or below 60% of area median income. Twenty one units will be targeted for families at or below 50%. The Treesdale Park Apartment development is located at 640 East Rio Road, which is significantly impacted by local and regional traffic. In 2005 the VDOT traffic count showed that 26,000 vehicles travel the road per day. Usually, a road with this degree of traffic would be evaluated by VDOT for upgrades and widening. Due to the plan to construct the Meadow Creek Parkway, Rio Road has not been widened. VDOT projects that the Treesdale Park Apartment development would add an additional 585 Vehicle Trips per day to Rio Road. The construction of the Parkway is designed to reduce the volume of traffic on Rio Road and give drivers a more direct route into downtown Charlottesville. The Meadow Creek Parkway is now scheduled to begin construction in 2008 with a projected completion in Spring 2010. Assuming that all funding is in place for the Treesdale Park project in 2008, then the completion of the Parkway would coincide with our project completion. As part of the process to rezone the Treesdale Park property, which was approved on December 12,2007, AHIP agreed to off site improvement of Rio Road and the Pen Park Lane intersection. Through negotiations with the adjacent property owner, we have gained a second access to our property which would allow our residents access to a traffic signal at the intersection of Rio Road and Pen Park Lane at the entrance to the Stonewater development. AHIP has agreed to share in the cost of the road improvement and installation of the traffic signal and VDOT has approved this plan. These improvements along with the completion of the Meadow Creek Parkway will have a significant, positive impact on the traffic issues of the neighborhood. Much has been done to bring the Treesdale Park project to the point of construction. In order to expend CDBG funding, there is some remaining work to be done. On December 12, 2007 the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved our rezoning application to rezone the property to a Planned Residential Development. This approval allows up to 90 units of rental housing. Proffers attached to this approval included a stipulation that we provide 100% affordable housing and that the residential units be EarthCraft certified. The last outstanding regulatory issue is to obtain our final site plan approval. We are working through that process now and expect to have the final site plan approval by Fall, 2008. Our final design work is scheduled to begin July, 2008. AHIP currently owns the site and no additional acquisitions are required. All utilities are available to the site and user agreements are not required as this is rental property. AHIP has completed a Phase I Environmental Assessment of each of the three parcels that comprise the 6.6 acre site. The County of Albemarle will publish the required environmental notices once the application for funds has been approved. Our ability to start construction is dependant on financing. On February 15, 2008 AHIP submitted an application to VHDA for the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. This represents a significant source of equity into the project. Assuming we are awarded the Tax Credits in this round then construction could begin in Spring, 2009. Other funding applications must be successful, including this CDBG application, but the Tax Credit funding is absolutely critical to this project and we are bound by that time frame. In the event that we are not awarded tax credits in this round it is our intention to continue our efforts to ready the project, and re-apply in 2009 for the Tax Credit program. The Development Team for this project was created in order to move the project through the extension rezoning process in Albemarle County. As a result of that process much has been done to ready the project for construction as soon as funding is available.

The market analysis determines the number of house holds that desire and can afford the new housing units at the projected cost. The analysis includes the three different measures of demand typically defined by affordable multifamily industry participants. The first definition is based on the number of income-qualified renter households in the primary market area; the second focuses on the number of income-qualified overburdened and substandard renter households; the third looks at income- qualified renter movership and renter household growth. Results of each of these analyses are presented below.

In the income-qualified overburdened and substandard household demand estimate the following additional factors were considered: (4) Overburdened Households; and (5) Substandard Households. Finally, in the income-qualified renter movership and renter household growth demand estimate the following additional factors were considered: (6) Owner to Renter Movership; and (7) Renter to Renter Movership. Capture rates (the number of subject property units / demand) are provided for each measure. Inclusive capture rates ([the number of subject property units + competing and pipeline units] / demand) are also provided thereby accounting for similar projects that may be developed concurrently. Only one other 2 bedroom unit is being developed currently projected to meet demand addressed by Treesdale Park. The market analysis projects a 97% occupancy at stabilization. An inventory of comparable properties indicates a 98% occupancy rate in the market area. The properties included in the market inventory are included on the map below. Properties identified with red pushpins have 100 percent market rate units (market rate properties), properties identified with yellow pushpins have a mixture of market rate / restricted / subsidized units (restricted properties), and properties identified with blue pushpins have 100 Percent project-based rental assistance (subsidized properties).

Cost to Beneficiaries: The subsidy of CDBG funds to the project must be used to the benefit of the LMI individual and not the developer. Provide the projected cost of the proposed units to occupants. How will lower income individuals (those making as low as 60% of median) be served? Are any units designatedfor sale at market rate? DHCD encourages mixed-income development for housing production projects. Up to 20 percent of the new units can be slated for sale at the market rate. If the units will be for sale, give the selling price for each unit. If the units will be rental, give the monthly rent. Show how the costfigure(s) was derived. INCLUDE COST DERIVATIONS IN ATTACHMENT #5. The analysis should include operation, maintenance, debt service, vacancy adjustments, developer fees, contingencies, and other costs included in proposals/loan applications to other sources of funding. Developer's fees must be disclosed. Proposed uses of the CDBG funds must clearly be shown. For example, if CDBG funds are to be used for acquisition, present current assessment information and methodology for determining fair market value. If CDBG funds are to be used for soft costs, document how the costs for these activities were determined. All CDBG funds must clearly be accounted for. The Treesdale Park project is financially designed to provide rental housing that is affordable to a range offamilies and individuals earning 60%, 50% and 40% of the Area Median Income and below who do not have the benefit of Section 8 Rental Assistance. It is well documented that the demand for Section 8 Rental Assistance in Albemarle County by far exceeds the availability. Therefore this project seeks to provide rental housing that is affordable to those families and individuals who pay 100% of their rent. To accomplish this in the expensive Albemarle County market will require a creative mix of subsidy including Low Income Housing Tax Credits, DeferredIForgivable Loans, Grants, unit based rental subsidy, direct developer investment (reduced and deferred developer fees) and pennanent VHDA SPARC and Taxable Bond loans. Included as Attachment #5 is the Treesdale Park development Pro-fonna which spells out in detail the estimated cost to construct the project as well as the sources to which the developer has/will apply. Also included is the post-construction operating budget for Treesdale Park. The key to making this development successful and affordable to the target population is to secure enough subsidy to insure the VHDA Loan underwriting requirements are met. To qualify for VHDA pennanent loans the developer must show in its post construction operating budget the ability to cover the debt service at a rate of 110%. In reviewing the Treesdale Sources and Uses Worksheet that includes CDBG funding and the Operating Budget, you will see that the 110% requirement is just met. To accomplish this, AHIP will need to secure each of the financial resources listed under the terms cited. To see the impact on the overall project affordability to the intended beneficiaries, one need only subtract the projected CDBG contribution from the proposed sources. The immediate impact can be seen in that the required VHDA Debt Service Coverage is reduced to 99% from the required 110%. To make up this difference it would be necessary for the owner to increase monthly rents an average of$55 per month across all bedroom types. On first glance, $55 per month may not sound like a lot of money, but to low, and very low-income individuals it may mean the difference between qualifying to rent safe, decent housing or not. For example: CALCULA TION OF AFFORDABLE RENT FOR A 2 PERSON (1 BEDROOM APr.) HOUSEHOLD EARNING 40% AMI- Attachment A-I8 . 40% AMIfor 2 Person Household- Charlottesville MSA = 21,360 · 30% (Allowance for Rent and Utilities) times 21,360 divided by 12 months = $534 . Less $49 Utility Allowance = $485 . Rent @ Treesdale with CDBG = $450 . Rent @ Treesdale WITHOUT CDBG = $505 As a family's percent AMI goes down, the affordability gap grows even wider. And, as it is AHIP's intention to target low, very-low and extremely low-income families for residency at Treesdale, the absence ofCDBG funding would be devastating to that effort. The project developer, AHIP, is a private, non-profit Community Housing Development Organization that has a 30 year history of providing safe, decent and affordable housing to Albemarle County's neediest families. It is AHIP's intention to continue to seek grant and deferred financing for this project that will enable them to reduce rents even further while still maintaining their obligation to the permanent financier, VHDA. To this end, AHIP has chosen not to claim the maximum Developer Fee allowable under the LIHTC program. And of the fees claimed AHIP will defer all but a small amount necessary to recover its predevelopment investment in the project. Additionally, AHIP will defer some $450,000 of the value of the property. (Under the LIHTC Program AHIP is entitled to claim a Developer Fee of up to $3.3 million. To have claimed the maximum fee would have driven the costs of an already expensive development even higher, and thus made the application for those funds un-competitive). Development and Administration: AHIP, as the owner and developer of the project will oversee the construction activities. Joyce Dudek, AHIP Associate Director, will act as the owner's representative for the project. AHIP's architectural firm, BRW Architects, will provide construction management services. A general contractor will be hired for construction services once our funding sources are in place. For purposes of estimating in the pre-development phase of this project, Artisan Construction was engaged by AHIP to provide estimating and consulting services. The Albemarle County Office of Housing will provide oversight of the CDBG funding and any other County related funding sources. Ron White, Chief of Housing for Albemarle County, estimates that potential administrative and project management costs associated with the Treesdale Park CDBG infrastructure will be a maximum of 8% or $56,000. The County may consider appropriating any unused administrative funds to cover development costs. The Treesdale Park Apartment project will provide 90 units of affordable rental units for Albemarle County residents. Over the last ten years AHIP has developed, owned, and managed 108 rental units. AHIP currently owns and manages 98 units of rental housing. Ten of the single family rental units have been sold to first time home buyers. In 2002, AHIP purchased a 96 unit apartment community known as Whitewood Village Apartments. Whitewood was a BUD Mod Rehab project and the subsidy for these units was about to expire. The County of Albemarle encouraged AHIP to purchase and renovate this project to insure that these units would remain affordable and prevent the existing tenants from losing their homes. At the time of acquisition of the property, the average income of the Whitewood Village tenant population was $11,000 per year. Currently, the project serves families at or below 50% of area median income with a significant number of tenants below 30% AMI. With an absolute commitment from the AHIP Board and staff, and the County of Albemarle, AHIP purchased and renovated the ailing 96 rental units and built a new community center building. The total development cost for Whitewood Village, now known as Park's Edge Apartments, was over $10,000,000 and included funding from the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, VHDA, DHCD, HOME and CDBG. The new community center building at Park's Edge was built with a Community Development Block Grant from DHCD. AHIP continues to own, operate, and manage Park's Edge Apartments and employs a Property Manager, a Maintenance Technician, and an office assistant on site. In 2000 AHIP was approved as a Qualified Management Agent by VHDA. We have recently applied to become a Certified Management Agent through VHDA's new updated program. AHIP intends to own, operate, and manage Treesdale Park upon the completion. AHIP is also a Class A Contractor and employs a staff of carpenters, plumber! electrician, and helpers. AHIP does not plan to use our staff in the construction of Treesda1e Park, however, the construction staff is available to assist with maintenance issues on an as needed basis at Park's Edge and Treesdale Park. When Treesdale Park is nearing completion AHIP will hire a property manager to evaluate applications, lease up the units, collect rent, and maintain compliance for the Tax Credit program and other funding sources. This person will Attachment A-19 be required to complete necessary training regarding the Tax Credit Program, Fair Housing, and other funding regulations as needed. In addition to the Community Development Block Grant at Park's Edge Apartments, AHIP has completed five Community Development Block Grants for Housing Rehabilitation with Albemarle County, and one Community Development Block Grant for infrastructure improvements at the Crozet Crossing Subdivision with Albemarle County. Also, AHIP has administered the City of Charlottesville entitlement CDBG funds for Housing Rehabilitation since 1995. Please see the Treesdale Park Management Plan and Treesdale Park Marketing Plan in Attachment #5 Project Site: The Treesdale Park Apartment development will be located on 6.6 acres in Albemarle County at 640 E. Rio Road. The property is located in the Rio Magisterial District and includes Parcels 182, 183, and 183A of Albemarle County Tax Map 61. The property is located one mile north of the City of Charlottesville and the Rt. 250 By Pass, and two miles from the Rt. 29 North Corridor. The property has 450 feet of frontage along Rio Road. The property slopes downhill away from Rio Road. Roughly 350 feet from Rio Road the slope increases significantly. The rear of the property consists of a narrow strip 60'wide and 650' long that will be dedicated to the future greenway trail along the Meadow Creek Parkway. According to the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan the property is located in Neighborhood 2 and contains an Urban Density Designation. This designation provides a residential density of 6-34 units per acre. The Treesdale Park Apartment development proposes a density 14 units per acre and is zoned Planned Residential Development. The surrounding neighborhood includes a mix of single family homes, town homes, duplexes, triplexes, two schools and a large park. Rio Road is a heavily traveled roadway but that condition will be improved by the construction of the Meadow Creek Parkway starting February, 2008. In 1998, AHIP purchased a parcel of land containing 2.86 acres at 640 E. Rio Road known as "Treesdale". The property included a large, old home and was purchased for $172,000. At that time it was AHIP's intention to build a by-right development of ten townhouses, and to renovate the existing house. After several months of working through the site plan approval process with Albemarle County, we were informed by VDOT that in order to approve this development a new left turn lane on Rio Road would be required to be constructed at our expense. The estimate for the construction of this road work deemed the project infeasible at that time. Since the house on the property was an income producing property AHIP was able to hold the property and continue planning the project. In the meantime, two adjacent properties became available for sale at a cost of $300,000. With the purchase of those properties AHIP now owned 6.6 acres with two houses which were zoned R-4. After months of investigations and discussions it became clear that in order to maximize our efforts, the property should be re-zoned to allow for higher density. On December 12, 2007, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning of this property to a Planned Residential Development. In November, 2004, the Pape and Company Appraisers estimated the value of the property at the proposed zoning (to PUD) to be $785,000. The 2008 Albemarle County assessment of the property totals $948,100. This does not take into account the recent rezoning of the property. As part of our rezoning application and our plans to demolish two existing houses on the Treesdale Park property, an Historic Resources Review was completed. Albemarle County required a reconnaissance-level architectural survey be done for the property. AHIP contracted with TEC, Inc. to provide this assessment. The conclusion of this report indicated no impact and no additional work was needed regarding historic review. Please see report in Attachment #4. This site is a difficult and expensive site to develop due to the slope that exists and the necessary road improvements that are required. However, land in the urban area of Albemarle County is extremely expensive. It is highly unlikely that an "easier" site could be located and be affordable for AHIP to purchase. This site is in an excellent location close to schools, shopping, and employment. The best site for building on this property is the front of the property at Rio Road. Because the buildable area is so tight, our current plan includes parking under each building and some additional surface parking. This structured parking is a logical but expensive solution. The surface parking requires substantial retaining walls due to the slopes involved. Because of the traffic issues in the area, additional expense must be incurred to allow development. The major concern of the neighborhood surrounding the Treesdale Park development has been the potential for increased traffic on Rio Road. Through negotiations with the adjacent property owner, AHIP has created a second access from our property, across the adjoining property, and leading to the proposed intersection at Pen Park Lane. The adjoining property owner and AHIP will share the expense of road improvements and signalization for the Attachment A-20 intersection to provide a safer entrance to both developments. The estimates for the cost of structured parking and site and road improvements are $3,000,000. Financing: On February 15, 2008 applied for funding for the Treesdale Park project through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. This program will provide essential equity into the project to allow lower rents to be charged and less debt service will be needed. On April 15, 2008, the Tax Credit Program will announce the preliminary rankings of the application submitted. Other funding will include loans from the Virginia Housing Development Authority through the Taxable Bond fund and the SP ARC program. The County of Albemarle has committed twenty one project based vouchers for housing assistance to be used for families at or below 50% of area median income. The estimated value of these vouchers over a ten year period is $1,000,000. Albemarle County has also approved $252,000 from the Crozet Crossing Trust Fund to be used for the Treesdale Park project. In December, 2007 AHIP was chosen as the recipient of the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation Catalyst Grant in the amount of$75,000 to address the urgent need of affordable housing in our community. In June, 2007 AHIP was approved for a grant of $50,000 from the Kresge Foundation. These funds are being used to cover the costs associated with designing the green, sustainable features for Treesdale Park. AHIP will be submitting an additional funding request to the Kresge Foundation to cover the cost of implementing the sustainable items and construction methods that are included in the final design plans for the project. AHIP will also be applying to the Home Depot Foundation for affordable green building initiatives and the Oak Hill Fund. The Oak Hill Fund's Environmentally Sustainable Affordable Design (ESAD) Program supports initiatives in non-profits that primarily focus on the incorporation of the principles of sustainability in the design and construction of affordable residential housing. AHIP has received grant funding from the Oak Hill Fund in the past for our Camp Springs Subdivision and also for our volunteer program. These three funding sources are available specifically for green building projects. We are confidant in our ability to secure funding for our sustainable activities. CDBG funds are being requested to cover the cost of site improvement only and will not be used for any of our potential green, sustainable features. Public/Private Investment: The infusion of Low Income Housing Tax Credits will be the largest single source of private financing for the Treesdale Park project. The projected amount of Tax Credits needed is estimated to be $9.7 million. Once our application for tax credits is approved the Virginia Community Development Corporation will syndicate the credits and sell them to their investors. The investors will take advantage of the tax credits and Treesdale Park will have an infusion of equity into the project. The Tax Credit Program allows a significant developer's fee of$2,000,000. HOWEVER, in order to make this project work financially, AHIP will be deferring approximately three quarters of that developer's fee or an estimated $1,453,380. In addition, AHIP will hold a note for $450,000 of the land cost when the property is transferred to the Limited Partnership. The total estimated infusion of private dollars into this project is approximately $12,000,000. The rate of return on the private investment is expected to be a market rate return in financial terms, plus the public purpose benefits to the community in the form oflong-term affordability, reduced rents, energy efficiency, and access to quality affordable housing for marginalized populations. Public funds proposed for this project include loan funds from the Virginia Housing Development Authority, funds from County of Albemarle, CDBG and HOME monies, and funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These public funds are estimated to total $11,000,000. This project will be underwritten by the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) in conjunction with the allocation of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and it will also be underwritten by VHDA during our application for loan financing. The potential for HOME funding from the DHCD also will require an underwriting process to be completed. In addition, the Virginia Community Development Corporation, which acts as our consultant for the Tax Credit program and will syndicate the tax credits, has extensive underwriting requirements prior to the allocation and syndication of credits. The Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program is very specific about the population to be served. Once the tax credits are in place, compliance is strictly monitored and enforced with significant financial impacts for failure to comply. The Virginia Community Development Corporation provides training and compliance monitoring throughout the life of the project as does VHDA. This compliance will be enforced for a period of 15 years. In the case of Attachment A-21 Treesdale Park, AHIP has agreed to extend the period of affordability for an additional 15 years so that benefits to LMI persons will be in place for the next 30 years. In addition to the safeguards in place through the Tax Credit Program, VHDA and the Virginia Community Development Corporation, Albemarle County has committed 21 project based vouchers for housing assistance to families with income at or below 50% of area median income. As part of the rezoning approval for the Treesdale Park property, it is required by Albemarle County that 100 % of the units be affordable to LMI persons.

Boyd, Chairman, Board of Supervisors IPROJECT NAME:1 jpROJECT TYPE:I Crozet Meadows Housing Production 'ROJECT DESCRIPTION :1 Albemarle County is requesting financial support for the preservation and production of affordable rental housing to serve disadvantaged elderly households. The Crozet Meadows Project will rehabilitate 28 existing apartments, and construct 38 new units, for occupancy by very low-income and extremely low-income elderly residents. All units will be one-story, one-bedroom, combined in 13 quadplexes and 7 duplexes, meeting Universal Design and EarthCraft accessibility and sustainability standards. The existing 28 units were built in 1979 for elderly residents with support from USDA's Rural Development rental housing program. The units need to be rehabilitated and upgraded to improve their durability, accessibility and comfort, and to increase their energy efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the non-profit property owner, Jordan Development Corporation (JDC), received zoning approval in 2004 to build up to 38 new units, and the site plan will be approved in Spring 2008. mc has applied for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) from the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) to carry out the rehabilitation and new construction work, and preserve and produce affordable housing for 30 more years. In terms of the project timeline, with the approval of LIHTC, construction can proceed in the Winter/Spring 2008-2009. The buildings will be completed and placed in service at the end of calendar year 2009 and beginning of calendar year 2010. None of the current residents in the existing 28 apartments will be permanently displaced. Community/Project Importance According to the recently-released State of Housing Report of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District produced by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission and researched by the Center for Housing Research at Virginia Tech, there is a "gross deficit of about 4,660 affordable rental units for renters with incomes below 50% of the area median family income" in the Planning District. Thousands of low income households find rental housing but have to pay half or more of their montWy income on rent. The proposed Project will help tackle this problem, especially among the elderly in Albemarle County and in the Crozet community. Attachment B-1 Ten units will be reserved for households under 40% AMI, and 56 units for households under 50% AMI. Net rent levels in year one for those under 40% AMI will be approximately $467 per month, and for those in the 40% AMI to 50% AMI range the net rent will be approximately $561. A market study already completed indicates more than sufficient demand for these kind of units for elderly at these rent levels and with related subsidies. Moreover, with the rapidly rising numbers of retiring "baby boomers," demand will continue to increase. The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved the assignment of up to eight project-based rental vouchers for the development (targeted to those under 40% AMI), which would bring the total number of rental-subsidized units to 35 (including the Rural Development subsidies) out of 66. The County's Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund has also approved funding for the Project. Renovations and Construction at Crozet Meadows While JDC is committed to preserving affordable housing, the agency also holds a core belief that affordable developments need to be brought up to 21st Century standards for energy efficiency, sustainability and livability. The preservation and production of multifamily rental properties is an important part of this effort. All the units will be accessible in compliance with VHDA Universal Design standards. All kitchen ranges will have front controls, all units will have an emergency call system, all bathrooms will have an independent or supplemental heat source, and all entrance doors will have two eye viewers, one at 48 inches and the other at standard height. JDC intends to make this development a role model in the County for multi-family green building, by achieving EarthCraft certification on both the rehabilitation and new construction. This will reduce the impact on the environment of the materials used, provide safer and more comfortable residences, and reduce utility costs to the residents and utility usage for the County. In pursuit of an EarthCraft certification, design elements will reduce air infiltration through the building's envelope by 30-40 percent versus typical construction. To gain such improvements, all windows will be Energy Star rated, low-E thermal-pane units. Additional insulation will be added to achieve high R-values. Outdated air conditioning units will be replaced with new 14 SEER heat pumps and variable speed air handlers, which will be standard in the new units. Jordan Development Corporation JDC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit created in 1970, as an affiliate of the Charlottesville Housing Foundation, for the purpose of developing and operating housing for low-income elderly and disabled persons in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia. JDC has no members or paid staff, and is controlled and operated entirely through a volunteer Board of Directors. JDC has directly developed 92 units of elderly rent-assisted housing in Albemarle County, at The Meadows, The Meadowlands and The Scottsville School Apartments, and has participated with other non-profits in the creation of 69 additional low-income rental units not owned by JDe. Since its inception, JDC has been involved in the creation of over 200 housing unit for low-income persons in Virginia. For the implementation of this Project, JDC has partnered with Piedmont Housing Alliance and its staff. Funding Request To support the rehabilitation and production costs of 66 affordable, Universal Design and EarthCraft units, Albemarle County is requesting $700,000, including a 10% administrative fee, for site infrastructure. Site infrastructure, including water, sewer and streets, will cost approximately $1,001,592. Of this, $301,592 will come from private and local sources, and $700,000 from CDBG funds. The overall project has a development budget of over $9.1 million including acquisition. The majority of the funds needed for this Project are either already existing (as equity and through Rural Development) or pending approval through the LIHTC program and related permanent financing from federal and state funds associated with LIHTC projects. These existing and federal/state funds, including $134,000 approved from the Crozet Crossings Housing Trust Fund, total approximately $8.15 million. The remaining gap is the focus this CDBG application and local fundraising efforts.

Most of this activity has involved the rehabilitation of owner-occupied houses so that the homeowners could remain in safe, decent, and affordable units. Although we continue to have scattered sites that can use this assistance, we have a much more pressing community development need as identified in recent studies. That need is for the creation of more affordable rental housing and we see this being addressed by nonprofit, for- profit, and public partnerships. Over the past few years, County staff has been working with two particular projects which will add 128 new affordable rental units. Treesdale Park is a 90-unit development proposed by the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program and Crozet Meadows, a partnership between Jordan Development Corp. and the Piedmont Housing Alliance, will add 38 new senior rental units to an existing 28 units that will be renovated. Both projects have applied for low-income housing tax credits and plan to request the County to apply for CDBG to help address on-site infrastructure needs. These funds are necessary to keep the financing costs as low as possible so that rents are not negatively affected. Staff reported at our last Housing Committee meeting that the rules put in place by DHCD may impact the County's decision to apply for COSG funds and, if we do apply and receive funds, there may be limited benefits to the proposed developments. This specifically is the rule that funds used for on-site infrastructure must be repaid at the completion of the development. Both projects have the ability to access construction funds. The real impact of CDBG would be in the form of a deferred loan without interest for at least ten, and possibly fifteen, years. For Treesdale Park, a deferred loan is worth between $20 and $50 per month in rent on each of the ninety proposed units. Translated into income, this means anything other than a deferred loan would require annual household incomes to be $800 to $2000 higher to maintain the same level of affordability. As Chairman of, and on behalf of, the Albemarle County Housing Committee, which is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to provide advice and guidance to the Board, I am asking that DHCD reconsider this rule in its CDBG Program Design. Understanding that it is too late to make such a Attachment C-l Denise Ambrose Page Two change for this year, I encourage you to consider being open to flexibility and negotiation if one or both of these projects receive an award of CDBG funds. We believe that housing production is an important community development need and the way to achieve that is through the commitment and willingness of all partners to compromise when necessary so that the eventual beneficiaries, residents and citizens of the County, are served well. Thank you and your staff for their continued commitment in working with Albemarle County. We look forward to a continued and successful partnership with DHCD.

Graded slopes on lots proposed to be planted with turf grasses (lawns) shall not exceed a gradient of three (3) feet horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (3:1). Steeper slopes shall be vegetated with low maintenance vegetation as determined to be appropriate by the County's program authority in its approval of an erosion and sediment control plan for the land disturbing activity. These steeper slopes shall not exceed a gradient of two (2) feet of horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (2: 1), unless the County Engineer finds that the grading recommendations for steeper slopes have adequately addressed the impacts. E. Surface drainage from one-half (1/2) acre ofland or from three (3) or more lots, whichever is greater in area, shall be collected in a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside of the lots.

Tucker, Foley, Davis, Kamptner, Graham, and Cilimberg; and Ms. Echols ATTACHMENTS: Yes REVIEWED BY: ~ ( LEGAL REVIEW: Yes BACKGROUND: On August 8,2007, the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on this project which had been recommended for denial by the Planning Commission on March 17, 2007. The Board's August 8 report can be found at http://www .albemarle.orq/upload/imaqes/Forms Center/Departments/Board of Supervisors/Forms/ Aqenda/2007Files/2 0070808/FontanaExecSummarv.htm. An excerpt from the Board's minutes concerning this item is Attachment A. At its August 8, 2007 meeting the Board of Supervisors heard concerns from residents within the existing Fontana subdivision about unfinished pedestrian paths, drainage and erosion problems, and the safety of existing pedestrian paths. The applicant agreed to defer action on the rezoning until he had addressed these issues to the satisfaction of the staff. The expectation was for the applicant to proffer a plan for pedestrian paths in prior phases of Fontana. The plan would represent how the applicant would correct the drainage, erosion, and safety problems, apply the standard for construction which had been used in the last two phases of the development, and complete the pathway system. STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 4: Effectively Manage the County's Growth and Development. DISCUSSION: Since the Board meeting in August 2007, the applicant has provided a pathways plan and modified it twice in an attempt to respond to staff comments. Staff and the applicant have met twice to discuss the plan and modifications and several homeowners were present at both meetings. It was staff's opinion that the path plan that was being provided by the applicant could not be implemented and, after numerous discussions, staff decided to prepare a plan for the applicant's consideration. This plan, which has now been proffered (Attachment B, Proffer 10), relies on the County Engineer, the applicant, and affected property owners to work out completion of the system in the field. The standard to be used is a four-foot wide asphalt path. Drainage and erosion problems are to be corrected. Attachment C contains the proffered plan of development (Proffer 1). BUDGET IMPACT: This is a residential development which would provide cash contributions in accord with the Board of Supervisors' policy to address the proposal's impact to public facilities. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff believes that, with the proffer for construction and completion of the Fontana path system and other proffer modifications to address County policies and make the proffers legally acceptable, the applicant has appropriately addressed the Board's expectations. Staff recommends approval of the ZMA 2004-008, inclusive of proffers dated February 24, 2008 and signed March 12, 2008.

PUBLIC HEARING: PROJECT: ZMA-2004-018. Fontana Phase 4C (Signs #37,45). PROPOSAL: Rezone 17.146 acres from RA Rural Areas which allows aqricultural, forestal, and fishery uses; residential density (0.5 unit/acre), R-4 Residential zoninq district (4 units/acre) and R-1 Residential zoninq district (1 unit/acre) to R-4 Residential zoninq district which allows residential uses at 4 units per acre for 34 dwellinq units at a qross density of 1.98 units/acre. PROFFERS: Yes EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE/DENSITY: Neiqhborhood Density Residential - (3-6 units/acre) and supportinq uses such as reliqious institutions and schools and other small-scale non-residential uses in Neiqhborhood 3 - Pantops ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: No. LOCATION: At the intersection of Fontana Drive (Rt. 1765) and Via Florence approximately 0.5 miles from the intersection of Fontana Drive and Stony Point Road (Route 20 North) TAX MAP/PARCEL: 78E-A. MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Rivanna. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on July 23 and July 30,2007.) Mr. Benish reported that this is a proposal to rezone approximately 17 acres from RA to R-1, and R-4 to R-4 with a proffered plan. He explained that the rezoning consists of 34 single- family lots on 17 acres, with a density of just under two dwelling units per acre, and the property is located in the Pantops Development Area with recommendations of three to six dwelling units per acre. Mr. Benish noted that the property is located in the Rivanna Magisterial District, and it received designations in 1994 with contemplation of an intensive development similar to Fontana, a lower-density development for future plans, and an RA area because of limited water availability that has been alleviated now. Mr. Benish noted that the Planning Commission did not recommend approval, listing six reasons including consistency with the Neighborhood Model and lower density than called for in the Land Use Plan, although it was consistent with other Fontana development. He said that they also cited issues with offsite drainage improvements and other improvements within Fontana not being completed as well as Monticello view shed issues and concerns about the cross-section of Fontana Drive from Route 20 to the terminus of the road. Mr. Benish said that many of the issues have been addressed, and the applicant has now proffered all improvements in other phases of development within Fontana to be completed prior to submittal and approval of a grading plan for erosion and sedimentation control measures. He added that there may be ways that the Zoning Administrator requires stabilization through erosion control measures although some of the sections can not really be required to be upgraded. Mr. Benish said that the trails were established on subdivision plats as improvements to be made so there is a requirement to implement them as shown on the plans. Ms. Thomas added that they were shown to prospective homeowners on plats as part of the value or expectations for that subdivision although they were not proffered per se. Mr. Benish said that the proffer ensures that those improvements get completed prior to any other Fontana development. He explained that Ms. McCulley has been trying to enforce those improvements shown on the subdivision plats, although they do not dictate a weighty standard. Mr. Benish noted that the later phases do require a standard of development related to grading and paving. Ms. Thomas commented that people were led to believe there would be a trail system. Mr. Benish agreed. Mr. Rooker said that those improvements would be picked up before development goes forward on this parcel. ATTACHMENT A Mr. Benish confirmed this, adding that the maintenance of trails is up to the homeowners association, but there were fairly limited standards established early-on. Mr. Benish reported that the proffers call for conformity to a particular plan, overlot grading, trees on site, cash proffers in lieu of affordable housing, and cash proffers to meet the proffer policy. He said that the remaining substantive issue is the amount of the cash proffers. Mr. Benish also added that pedestrian paths, building colors, and Monticello view shed issues have been addressed. He confirmed that the primary issue is the cash proffer policy as it relates to by-right development, as the amount was supposed to be based on the total number of units. Mr. Benish noted that in this case the proffers are based on 25 units minus the nine by-right units. He said that staff cannot recommend approval at this time because of the shortfall in proffer amounts. Mr. Benish clarified some typographical items in the staff report as well as language that is no longer necessary because of changes in legislation. Mr. Benish said that the concept plan shows the same note used for Cascadia, which requires dedication of right of way and interconnection. Mr. Boyd asked for clarification of what road that is. Mr. Benish replied that road runs toward Montessori School. Ms. Thomas said that it would be helpful to have a larger area shown on a map so there is some context. Mr. Benish showed where the existing Fontana development is, as well as Montessori and Cascadia. He noted the location of the interconnecting road into Cascadia as well as Verona Drive, which goes into Luxor. Mr. Benish explained that Fontana Drive also serves the Lakeridge development, which is property that is recently approved for development to the north. In response to Mr. Boyd's question about Fontana Drive, Mr. Benish said it would be curb and gutter with sidewalks on both sides and a treed lawn into Lakeside, and it would also pick up a rural section based on the original Fontana approval. He stated that staff had determined that it would be difficult to retrofit a cross-section with the new sections of Fontana, adding that the topography is a steep incline that results in a lot of cut and fill on adjacent lots. Mr. Benish said that with that rural section, the drainage would need to be changed to be picked up with inverts in specific locations and that might mean more grading on lots. Mr. Boyd commented that some of those lots might even need retaining walls. Mr. Benish said he would not be surprised although staff has not looked at this in that level of detail. He stated that the applicant has not addressed this in this application, noting that a roadway would be going from a rural section into a side-walked road. Mr. Benish added that staff has felt it is better to get some of the road with some of the improvements than nothing at all, adding that without a completed pedestrian system there is a disconnect. Ms. Thomas said that the trail system does not connect with the roads and sidewalks. Mr. Benish explained that the Commission requested curb and gutter to provide pedestrian accommodations, and that is the standard typically applied for urban development. He added that the attachment B shows the cross-sections with five-foot sidewalks and six-foot tree lawns. Mr. Benish said that given the topography, pedestrian access should be accommodated in the long run as part of the road cross-section as opposed to off-road trails. He said that the Planning Commission had concerns about offsite drainage, but the County engineer has reviewed the plans and is comfortable with the plan given an urban section design. Mr. Boyd commented that he is eager to hear from the public what they think of this type of design as other developments nearby would have this type of road system. 2 ATTACHMENT A At this time the Chairman opened the public hearing. The applicant's representative, Steve Driver, of Terra Engineering and Land Solutions, addressed the Board. Mr. Driver explained that the applicant has been working extensively to address Commission concerns, and is proposing a full urban road section for Fontana Drive Extended including curb and gutter on both sides of the road, a planting strip for trees and sidewalks on both sides, and a cross-section that matches what is proposed for Lakeridge. He said that the road was originally proposed as rural, but staff requested urban section to match Lakeridge's and Cascadia's road design aspects. Mr. Driver noted that the applicant has agreed to provide an offsite pipe system extension from the eleven lots in the eastern corner of the development to bring the drainage to the rear of the lots at the end of the cul-de-sac at the end of Florence via underground pipe per County drainage standards. Mr. Driver stated that the applicant has also agreed to complete all phases with bonds being released by the County prior to submitting application for a grading permit for Phase 4-C, including pedestrian pathway work in the previous phases. He added that the applicant has agreed to provide architectural standards regarding the view shed, building facades, and ten-foot width on all the Phase 4-C pedestrian pathways. Mr. Driver said that the only other item was retrofitting the road standards to the existing Fontana Drive, and the applicant did not offer to make these changes because of the difficulty in retrofitting an urban section to a rural section. He said that the road met VDOT and County standards at the time, noting that the right of way for Fontana is 50 feet, with the current standard at 57 feet. Mr. Driver stated that access to private lots would become a pretty significant issue. Mr. Driver added that the cash proffers for affordable housing and public services could be answered by the applicant, and approval of this petition would provide the link between Cascadia and Lakeridge. Mr. Boyd commented that he would like the applicant to proffer the appropriate amount for affordable housing and the total number of units being requested. The applicant, Mr. A. M. Nichols, agreed to change the proffer amount to $595,000 as well as $95,500 for affordable housing. He explained that Dominion Virginia Power allowed an easement for two lots, lots 38 and 39, but he also needs to get an easement from Dr. Hurt. Mr. Nichols also explained that Ashcroft has agreed to give an easement and Avemore on the very right-hand side of the entry. He added that the pedestrian pathway is a work in progress. Mr. Nichols noted that he needs to get those easements and that is reflected in his proffers. Ms. Thomas asked about the disconnect between the trail system and the new sidewalks. Mr. Nichols responded that the pedestrian pathways are in rural section but the curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the Fontana Drive extension will connect with Cascadia and will connect on the upper right hand side with Lakeridge. He explained that the Ashcroft homeowners will also be able to use the pathway. Ms. Thomas explained that she is concerned about the sidewalks connecting with the rural cross-section, and she noted that the trail system within the former development could be connected to the new sidewalk system. Mr. Driver noted that any pedestrian pathways built within a public right of way must meet VDOT standards and other than that they would have to be outside of the right of way. He said that the applicant worked with staff to move the pathway out of the right of way. Mr. Benish asked about any possible connection to link the sidewalks to the trails. 3 ATTACHMENT A Mr. Driver replied that there are two lots there, so a trail would need to go in the right of way or an easement would need to be obtained from those two property owners. . Ms. Sharon Baiocco addressed the Board on behalf of the Fontana Homeowners Association. She stated that the pedestrian trailways are a constant problem as the County has decided that sidewalks are desirable in urban areas. Ms. Baiocco added that pedestrian paths were traditionally a substitute for sidewalks. She noted that her trail was started in November then finished in the spring, but it has now eroded dramatically. Ms. Baiocco said that not requiring a standard has been a serious problem, and the pedestrian paths are now becoming an eyesore and are dangerous and detracting from property values. She presented pictures of the paths, noting that there are many children in the neighborhood who use the roads because the paths are not standard and are now deeply rutted. Ms. Baiocco said that the standard should be like the Monticello Trail path, which has eight inches of stone versus the two and a half inches of stone with the Fontana paths. She added that adding this many more houses is not what we bargained for nor did Fontana residents vote in favor of a connection to Cascadia. Ms. Nancy Grable addressed the Board, noting that some of the trails end on one of the rural roads, and there is at least one incident where the trail ends in someone's garden. She also said that the rural roads in Fontana have caused concern because they are narrow and must carry school busses, and now more traffic is going to be put on these roads from developments with a more urban atmosphere. Ms. Thomas asked what the homeowners' assumption is as to who would maintain the trails. Ms. Grable replied that she assumes the trails would be made good, but she does not know who would do that. Mr. Rooker asked staff for clarification as to maintenance of those trails. Mr. Benish said that the homeowners association usually takes care of them. Mr. Lewis Martin, representing Mr. Nichols, said that the Fontana covenants and restrictions stipulate it is the homeowners association's responsibility to maintain those trails. Mr. Benish stated that he does not know if those pictures shown demonstrate that the trails have not met the expected standard, as some sections do require a sub-base and surfacing and some sections do not. Mr. Davis said that a lot of the improvements were bonded. Ms. Vickie Valente addressed the Board, noting that the trails end in rip raps and continue onto the other side with no bridges across. She said that it is very dangerous. She sees all sorts of issues there. Ms. Valente added that lots of people walk to the pool and tennis courts, and having people driving through the area at 35 plus miles per hour could create serious problems. Ms. Patty Williams addressed the Board, stating that once the trails are complete, the homeowners association has to maintain them. She expressed concern about liability for that. Ms. Williams emphasized that the trails are dangerous and not in good shape at all, and there is no place for people in wheelchairs or kids on bikes. Mr. Slutzky said that it seems a potential disaster is being created here, with country roads and more urban roads together with strollers being pushed because residents can not get on the trails. He asked if it would be possible to work with the applicant to adhere to standards that make the trails functional so that the entire network would work. 4 ATTACHMENT A Mr. Benish responded that Phases III and IV have more stringent standards for compacted sub-grade trails and paving of roads over seven percent grade, but for Phases I and II the only standards that can be found are those on the plans that call for five-foot mowed paths, with no grade requirements. Mr. Davis said that there is no way to require a condition for those offsite trail improvements, but the developer could voluntarily proffer that if he could work within the existing easement area. He noted that one of the impacts to be considered would be how it impacts adjacent property and whether the increase in density creates pedestrian and traffic safety issues, and one way to do that may be improving the trails. Mr. Rooker stated that in order for him to vote for approval, the trails need to be brought to a standard that complies with what was originally offered. He noted that Fontana Drive goes to Route 20 with no pedestrian facilities and is not a safe place to walk as it does not meet reasonable standards. Mr. Rooker said that to approve the additional density, the residents, both current and future, need a safe place to walk. Mr. Boyd noted that there is a proffer there already to complete the trail system through the older neighborhoods, and the County would like to see that proffer extended to meet those standards. Mr. Davis mentioned that there are things that can be done to make it more workable, although the paths may not be able to meet the larger widths because of right of way issues. Mr. Rooker commented that the concern seems to be the condition of the surface of the paths, more so than the width. Mr. Benish cautioned that some of the trails may just not be developable because of the nature of the topography. Ms. Thomas said that the Rivanna Trails people have installed stairways, although that is not the preferred method of design. She said that the old standards were inadequate, and that brings into question the rationale of bringing the trails up to those standards when all of them could be brought up to an explicit standard of today. Mr. Rooker stated that is what he thought staff was trying to do. Mr. Benish clarified that the Phase I and II standard is fairly limited, but the Board could accept a proffer to bring those up to the higher standard required of Phases III and IV. Mr. Rooker added that they are talking about a new proffer. Mr. Benish noted that there are limitations to what can be done within easement areas, and alternative sites for paths might need to be identified through field work and evaluation. He added that it may require property owners' agreement to make those adjustments. Mr. Davis said that to address a new cash proffer amount, it would have to be re- advertised for another public hearing. He explained that an amended proffer would also require the application to be re-advertised for another public hearing. Mr. Boyd expressed concern that the connecting road through Cascadia is opposed by residents, and he asked for clarification of what that road would be. Mr. Davis replied that in Cascadia there were no proffers for the connection, but the Code of Development showed reservation of right of way up to the property line of Fontana and said it would be improved at the request of the County. He explained that the Subdivision Ordinance requires that those improvements be made in both Cascadia and Fontana once the plats are 5 ATTACHMENT A approved unless a waiver is requested and approved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Davis said that the expectation is that there will be an interconnection here. It has been reserved in Cascadia and would be required in this subdivision. Mr. Rooker asked if the traffic would be taken off and spread out instead of going through the existing neighborhood. Mr. Boyd said that the Cascadia connection was established after Fontana. Mr. Davis emphasized that staff believes traffic would be taken off of Fontana as people in the new section would divert to Cascadia because it is a better road. Mr. Rooker mentioned that this is required for the subdivision. Mr. Davis explained that Cascadia has a requirement to provide that connection, and the ordinance does require that interconnection, with each development building up to their property line. He said that under the Subdivision Ordinance, they would have to build or bond it at the time of platting. Mr. Benish said that this plan allows for use of the road for emergency purposes until the subdivision is built, and at that point the interconnection is required. Mr. Boyd said that traffic would go into Fontana (Franklin Drive) to get to work, and this would create a real safety situation unless there is a signal put in front of Cascadia. Mr. Rooker stated that if there is enough traffic, they will get a light. Mr. Boyd said they will all go through Fontana. Mr. Rooker responded that he would be surprised if people chose that route, as he had an office at Pantops for 25 years. Mr. Boyd said that he has lived in Key West for 26 years, and the Pantops situation would encourage people to cut through Fontana. Mr. Tucker noted that it might be difficult, once again, to get this back in time for September. Mr. Davis stated that if a proffer for the pathway is going to be on the table, then staff and engineering need to weigh in on that prior to the proffer being written. He also said that the Board could defer the item, unless the applicant does not want to amend the proffers. Mr. Driver said that the applicant is willing to bring the pedestrian path standards in Phase I and II up to the standards of Phase III and IV. He asked if it would be possible for the Board to approve the rezoning with that as a note on the plat. Mr. Davis replied that the law requires re-advertising of a public hearing to accept the proffer changes. (Note: At this time, the applicant and his attorney stepped out of the meeting to discuss how to proceed.) Mr. Martin, representing Mr. Nichols, said that the applicant is requesting deferral. Mr. Davis stated that once there are final proffers and plans, the item would be re- advertised 20 days prior to public hearing. 6 A TT ACHMENT A Mr. Rooker then moved to indefinitely defer ZMA 2004-018 Fontana Phase IV-C. Mr. Slutzky seconded the motion. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Boyd, Mr. Dorrier, Mr. Rooker, Mr. Slutzky, Ms. Thomas, and Mr. Wyant. NAYS: None. 7 Mar 12 08 10:31a p.2 Attachment B Original Proffer Amended Proffer -:r- (Amendment # 1 ta ZMA 94-06 ) PROFFER FORM FOR FONTANA PHASE 4C Date: ~h t1.:~QS ~. .~, _. . .... - -..

These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and it is agreed that such conditions are reasonable. I. Conformitv with Plans: Fontana Phase 4C will be developed in general accord with the plans entitled, "Fontana - Phase 4C Rezoning Plan," prepared by Terra Engineering and Land Solutions, dated, July 30, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, (the "Plan'j. No more than thirty-four (34) dwelling units shall be developed in Fontana Phase 4C. 2. Final Gradine Plan: The Owner shall submit a final grading plan meeting the requirements oftbis section (hereinafter, the ''Final Grading Plan") with the application far each subdhl'ision of the residential units shown on the Plan. identified in Proffer 1 above. The Final Grading Plan shall show existing and proposed topographic features to be considered in the development of the proposed subdivision. The Final Grading Plan shall be approved by the County Engineer prior to the approval of the first preliminary subdivision plat. The subdivision shall be graded as shown on the approved Final Grading Plan. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any dwelling on a lot where the County Engineer has determined the lot is not graded consistent with the approved Final Grading Plan. The Final Grading Plan shall satisfy the following: A. The Final Grading Plan shall show all proposed streets, building sites, surface drainage, driveways, trails, and other features the County Engineer determines are needed to verify that the Plan satisfies the requirements of this proffer. B. The Final Grading Plan shall be drawn to scale not greater than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet. C. All proposed grading shall be shown at contour intervals not greater than two (2) feet 1 Mar 12 08 10:31a p.3 D. All concentrated surface drainages over lots shall be clearly shown with 'the proposed grading. All proposed grading shall be shown to assure that surface drainage can provide adequate relief from flooding of dwellings in the event a storm sewer fails. Graded slopes on lots proposed to be planted "'lith turf grasses (lawns) shall not exceed a gradient of three (3) feet horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (3:1). Steeper slopes shall be vegetated with low maintenance vegetation as determined to be appropriate by the County's program authority in its approval of an erosion and sediment control plan for the land disturbing activity. These steeper slopes shall not exceed a gradient ortwo (2) feet ofhonzontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (2:1). unless the County Engineer :finds that the grading recommendations for steeper slopes have adequately addressed the impacts. E. Surface drainage from one-half (112) acre ofland or from three (3) or more, whichever is greater in area. shall be collected in a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside of the lots. F. All drainage from streets shall be carried. across lots in a storm sewer to a point beyond the rear of the building site. G. The Final Grading Plan shall demonstrate that an area at least ten (10) feet in width, or to the lot line if the distance is less than ten (10) feet. from the portion of the structure facing the street has grades no steeper than ten (10) percent adjacent to possible entrances that will not be served by a stairway. This graded area also shall extend from the entrances to the driveways or walkways connecting the dwelling to the street. H. Any requirement of this condition may be waived. by the County Engineer by submitting a waiver request with the preliminary plat. If such a request is made, it shall include: (i) a justification for the request contained in a certified engineer's report; (ii) a vicinity map showing a larger street network: at a scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals six hundred (600) feet; (iii) a conceptual plan at a scale no smaller'than one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet showing surveyed boundaries of the property; (iv) topography of the property at five (5) foot intervals for the property being subdivided and on abutting lands to a distance of five hundred.

I. The Owner may request that the Plan be amended at any time. AU amendments shall be subject to the review and approval by the County Engineer. 3. Affordable Bousine:: The Owner shall contribute $2,809.00 cash per dwelling unit, up to an aggregate maximum contribution of$95,500.00 (equivalent to $19.100 cash per unit as cash in lieu of five (5) affordable dwelling units) to the County for the purpose of affordable housing. Each cash contribution shall be due and payable with each application for a building permit. Each cash contribution shall be used for the purpose of funding affordable housing programs in Albemarle County. If this cash contribution has not been exhausted by the County for the stated purpose within ten (10) years after the last payment of the contribution, all unexpended funds shall be applied to any public use serving Neighborhood 3 Pantops. 4. Trees: At least one hundred-seventy (170) trees shall be planted or retained on the subdivided lots. Trees shall be distributed among all lots with a minimum of 5 trees per lot. The five trees to be counted on each lot shall be marked in the field for inspection purposes. The owner shall not request a certificate of occupancy until a final zoning inspection is performed and all required trees are in place. Standard for trees to be retained: Deciduous trees to be retained shall be at least a I Vz inch caliper d.b.h. and non-deciduous trees shall be at least four (4) feet in height. All trees to be retained shall be identified on erosion and sediment control plans, final grading plans, and road plans. A tree conservation plan in accordance with Section 32.7.9.4. of the Zoning Ordinance shall be submitted and approved prior to approval of any erosion and sediment control permit for grading. Standards Cor trees to be ulanted: All trees shall be planted in accordance with either the standardized landscape specifications jointly adopted by the Virginia Nurserymen's Association, the Virginia Society of Landscape Designers and the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, or the road and bridge specifications of the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Annual Adiastment of Cash Proffen: Beginning January 1 ~ 2008, the amount of each cash contribution required herein shall be adj usted annually until paid, to reflect any increase or decrease for the preceding calendar year in the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index (the "MS!''). In no event shall any cash contribution amount be adjusted to a sum less than the amount initially established by these proffers. The annual adjustment shall be made by multiplying the proffered cash contribution amount for the preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Index as of December 1 in the preceding calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be the Index as of December 1 in the year preceding the calendar year most recently ended. For each cash contribution that is being paid in increments, the unpaid incremental payments shall be co~ondingly adjusted each year. 8. Final AUDroval: The Owner shall not submit ~ application for an erosion and sediment control permit for grading until improvements have been completed for phases 1,2, 3, and 4A and 4B oftbe Fontana Subdivision and aU bonds held by the County in conjunction with subdivision, stormwater management, and erosion control for prior phases have been released by the County. 9.

Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 Attachment I STAFF PERSON: Claudette Grant PLANNING COMMISSION: February 19, 2008 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: March 19, 2008 ZMA 2006- 014 Professional Office Buildina at Georaetown and Hvdraulic Roads Request for approval of Modification of Development Area designation, Setback waiver, Waiver to Section 20A.8 (Mixture of dwelling types/Mixture of uses) of Zoning Ordinance and Critical slopes waiver PETITION PROPOSAL: Rezone 1.051 acres from C-1 Commercial zoning district which allows retail sales and service uses; and residential use by special use permit (15 units/acre) to NMD Neighborhood Model District zoning district which allows residential (3 - 34 units/acre) mixed with commercial, service and industrial uses. Approx, 20,000 sq. ft, building. PROFFERS: Yes EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE/DENSITY: Rural Areas - preserve and protect agricultural, forestal, open space, and natural, historic and scenic resources/ density (.5 unit/acre) ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: Yes LOCATION: Southwest corner of Georgetown/Hydraulic Roads intersection. TAX MAP/PARCEL: 60F/3 MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Jack Jouett CHARACTER OF THE AREA The site is undeveloped, wooded and has a lot of overgrown shrubs/plants. The front portion of the site adjacent to the corner of Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads is flat. The rear portion of the site has a steep slope that drops off towards the rear, A small office building is located to the north of the site. A variety of residential uses are located to the northwest, west and south of the site, including Georgetown Green, which is adjacent and to the rear of the site. A small dentist office is located east and across Hydraulic Road from the property. Albemarle High School is located approximately 800 feet and to the north of the site. SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL This site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads. (See Attachments A & B) The site is currently vacant. In 1981, the site was rezoned from RA, rural area to C-1, commercial. Although the property was in the Rural Areas of the Comprehensive Plan at that time, a portion of the property was taken from the site for the widening of Hydraulic Road. The rezoning was specific to only allow the relocation of a gas station/convenience store and no other commercial uses. An amendment to the original rezoning states the new store was not to exceed 2,579 square feet. The applicant has decided that this would not be a good location for a gas station/convenience store because it would be challenging from a general traffic standpoint for incoming and outgoing traffic, and the relatively small size of the site would be difficult for large trucks accessing the site for deliveries. The adjacent residents and the County agree that use of the property for a convenience store and gas station could create traffic problems. Instead of a gas station/convenience store, the applicant would like to develop the property with a two-story, 20,000 square foot professional office building, (See Attachment D) The applicant would like to rezone from C-1, commercial to NMD, Neighborhood Model District. The access to this development would be on Hydraulic Road. The proposed building will front the corner of Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads with parking located underneath the building and at the rear of the building. The remainder of the parcel will be open, preservation area, The applicant has also provided a Code of Development. (See Attachment C) APPLICANT'S JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST The applicant proposes to provide an office building that will be a less intensive use of the site than the currently approved use of a gas station/convenience store. The applicant has provided elements of the Neighborhood Model, such as bringing the building close to the street, pedestrian improvements, and site planning that respects the terrain and environment. PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY 1. ZMA 81-7 Malcolm J. Reid - On March 18, 1981, the Board of Supervisors voted to approve the rezoning petition of 1.27 acres from RA Rural Areas to C-1 Commercial with proffers. 2 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and HydrauliC Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 2. ZMA 82-6 HOP-iN-FOOD STORE, Inc. - On June 2, 1982, the Board of Supervisors voted to amend the proffers so that the size of the building could now be 2,579 square feet instead of the original 2,300 square feet. .. SDP 97-035 Calvet VirQinia Company Preliminary Site Plan - On December 21, 1999 the Planning Commission approved a waiver to allow disturbance on critical slopes with conditions. The decision was appealed and the Board of Supervisors reaffirmed the approval of the waiver with amended conditions at its February 8, 2000 meeting. The amended waiver conditions were incorporated into the standard conditions that were set for administrative approval of the final site plan. 4. ZMA 00-004 Entrance Corridor Overlay District - On March 14, 2000, the Board of Supervisors voted to approve the designation of State Route 743 as an entrance corridor. 5. SDP 00-038 Calvet VirQinia Final Site Plan - On March 20, 2000, the applicant submitted a tentative final site plan which was subject to staff review for compliance with the conditions of the preliminary site plan and critical slopes waiver. During this review, a determination was made that the proposed development would be subject to the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Architectural Review Board prior to final site plan approval. (See Attachment F) 6. ARB-F(SDP)-00-059 - H. & H. L.L. C./Hydraulic-Georqetown Convenience Store - The ARB approved a final Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed convenience store at its meeting on February 20, 2001. However, the preliminary site plan approval period expired on February, 82001. 7. SDP 01-050 H & H LLC Final Site Plan - On July 17, 2001 the Planning Commission approved the final site plan and the critical slopes waiver with conditions. BACKGROUND On June 6, 2006, the Planning Commission held a pre-application worksession on this project. (See Attachment E) Several questions were posed and discussed during the worksession. At the worksession, the Commission ~nerallY felt the proposed use was less intensive than the permitted use for a gas station/convenience store, and ...-nsidered the proposed use to be appropriate for this location. One of the issues the Planning Commission agreed needed to be addressed was the project's location in an entrance corridor and the need for review by the Architectural Review Board (ARB). On October 16, 2006 the ARB discussed this project and had the following concerns: 1) The ARB was not able to support the request for the rezoning as presented because they felt landscaping was needed for relief between the street and the building, and 3 feet was not an adequate setback. The ARB felt ten to fifteen feet free of utilities and easements would be appropriate. 2) The ARB felt they could support the rezoning if the applicant provided a suitable building setback to allow for landscaping free of utilities and easements and reduce the building size to be more appropriately sized for the site, with minimal grading and tree clearing. The ARB agreed that the proposed office use is less intensive and more appropriate than the permitted use for a gas station/convenience store. . After the pre-application work session in June, the applicant decided to proceed with a two-story, 13,000 square foot professional office building, The applicant decided to request a rezoning for NMD primarily because of the flexibility in setback requirements. A work session with the Planning Commission was held on November 7,2006 in order for the Commission, to provide staff and the applicant guidance regarding the location of the building and the size of the building before proceeding with plans for the building. (See Attachment F) The question regarding how to balance the appropriate setback for the building and the size of the building was specifically discussed. While there was no consensus of the Commission, the following comments were made: · Mr. Edgerton wanted to see street trees and sidewalks in front of the building. · The ARB wanted the building 10' - 15' back free of utilities, which may include the sidewalk. They were looking at a planting, a sidewalk and then the building. · As long as the pedestrians are protected as they walk around the corner of Hydraulic and Georgetown and VDOT and the Service Authority are okay with the use ot their right-ot- way for plantings, the Commission had no problems with the proposed layout of the front 3 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 of the site, The applicant should explore the possibility with VDOT and County Engineering about treating the right-of-way at the front of the site as the area for planting and landscaping. In an attempt to keep the setback being proposed, the applicant needs to look a little closer at locating the proposed parking on the lower level. In looking at the utility issue, the Service Authority needs to be a part of that discussion as well as VDOT. · The Commission wanted to see minimal grading in the rear. · The Commission asked if the applicant could accommodate these restrictions and still maintain the size of the building and the number of parking spaces, · The Commission asked that the parking for the adjacent property be left out of the forested area. The parking should be minimized. · The Commission felt that if removing the lower level parking meant the building size had to be adjusted because of the parking requirements, then that is what the Commission would expect. · The Commission suggested the applicant take the discussion from this meeting and figure out how to make the location and building size work on the site. Since the work session the applicant has: . Provided street trees and sidewalks in front of the building. · Provided front setbacks that vary from 9.6' and 13.5' at the building corners, to 21.9' at the center of the building. The existing property line on Hydraulic Road is currently located 10' from the back of the sidewalk. The setbacks from the property line create a zone for widened sidewalk and landscaping. · Provided parking in the rear of the building and under the building. · Delineated a portion of the rear of the site as preservation area. · Provided a parking modification request approved by zoning staff. The parking modification request describes the square footage of the proposed building and its uses, (See Attachment J). · Provided parking for the adjacent property not in the forested area, but incorporated it within the on-site parking. Comments from VDOT, the Service Authority and Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority reflecting agreement of the proposed plan are included as Attachments G, H, and I. CONFORMITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Land Use Plan shows this area as Rural Area. However, the property was rezoned to C-1 - Commercial and also has the potential to be developed residentially with a special use permit. Size, topography, and zoning make this property challenging to be developed. It could not be rezoned as Rural Area because it is less than 2 acres in size. The location of the lot at the intersection of two very busy streets means that access would have to be limited. Steep slopes at the rear of the parcel render the developable area fairly small. The topography suggests that an office or multi-family dwelling in a location as proposed would be appropriate if the land were in the Development Area. The current zoning restricts its use to C-1 Commercial with the following proffers: 1. The only entrance to the subject property shall be located on Hydraulic Road so that the northern margin of the entrance at the property line will be located 12 % feet south of the northern boundary of the subject property; 2. The subject property will be used for a relocation of the convenience store in accordance with the general lay-out of the enclosed preliminary site plan. Of course, a more definitive site plan will be presented at a later date. The new store shall not cover more than 2,579 square feet; 3. The applicant will comply with all requirements of the storm water runoff ordinance. A 50 foot buffer zone, adjacent to the residential areas, will be maintained and as many trees as possible will be retained in this area, and, if sufficient trees are not retained, the applicant will plant sufficient evergreens to provide reasonably adequate screening; 4. The applicant will install, within 60 days after rezoning, a guard rail along the boundary adjacent to the play area of Georgetown Green. The guard rail shall be constructed of 4 foot pipes planted in the ground, with horizontal pipes running between vertical posts. This installation has proved very satisfactory in other locations. 4 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 Applicable statements/goal from the Comprehensive Plan relevant to this site is protect the County's natural, scenic, and historic resources in the Rural Area and Development Area. .rinCiPles of the Neighborhood Model -- Because of the existing zoning, the property's proximity to the Development Areas across the street, and the nature of the requested re-zoning, staff has assessed the proposal for conformity with the Neighborhood Model: Pedestrian Orientation Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks Parks and Open Space Neighborhood Centers Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale Relegated Parking Mixture of Uses Mixture of Housing Types and Affordabilit Redevelo ment Site Planning that Respects Terrain Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas Sidewalks are located adjacent to this property on both Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads. Site plan requirements will require internal pedestrian access. This rinci Ie is met. The proposed plan does not show street trees adjacent to the street because a sidewalk is already adjacent to the street. This principle is not met. While interconnections are not shown, they were considered; however, due to difficult topography and the need to preserve the rear portions of the site, interconnections were not further pursued. This principle is not met; however, staff believes it does not need to be met. As shown on the plan, a large portion of the rear of the site will be open space and no disturbance is expected in this area due to the steep slopes. A picnic area at the rear of the parking area and bike racks near the front of the building are shown on the Ian. This rinci Ie is met. Albemarle High School is located very near this site and serves as a center. Although this site is located in an area that is considered Rural Area, its' proximity to the Development Area makes it very accessible to several nearby areas that could also be considered nei hborhood centers. The applicant has worked diligently with staff and the ARB to provide a building and space that are of human scale and appropriate to the surrounding area. This rinci Ie is met. Given the size and topography of the site and the design and layout of the building, the location of parking under the building and at the rear of the building rovides reasonable rele ated arkin . This area of Albemarle County has a variety of different uses nearby making this rinci Ie not a licable. This principle is not applicable. This rinci Ie is not a licable. Keeping the building at the front/top of the property and the parking under the building and to the rear of the building allows the site to be designed with respect for the terrain, The preservation area at the rear of the site also provides of res ect for h sical characteristics of the site. This principle cannot be met because the property is in the Rural Areas. STAFF COMMENT Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zoning district: The purpose and intent of the Neighborhood Model District (NMD) is to establish a planned development district in which traditional neighborhood development, as established in the County's Neighborhood Model, will occur. The NMD provides for compact, mixed-use developments with an urban scale, massing, density and an infrastructure configuration that integrates diversified uses within close proximity to each other within the development areas identified in the comprehensive plan. The request for a NMD outside of the Development Areas is an unusual one. This proposed NMD is for a single small parcel. It proposes no mixture or uses nor does it include housing. Normally, staff would not recommend that the NMD be used where these important features are missing. In this circumstance, however, the NMD is the only district which will allow for the design elements which are important .staff and the Commission to be accomplished. Staff notes that use of the NMD here should be considered an ception to the rule and not a precedent. 5 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 Public need and justification for the change: The County's Comprehensive Plan supports development in the designated development area that is consistent with use, density, and form recommended in the Plan, This property is located in the Rural Areas, but its' current zoning is for a specific commercial use. While the use proposed in this re-zoning is not in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that the less intensive use of this site proposed in this rezoning is superior to what could be developed under the current zoning, particularly considering the size and location of this property. Impact on Environmental, Cultural, and Historic Resources: The site contains wooded areas. Some of the woods would be removed in order to accomplish the proposed plan; however, the applicant also shows preservation areas on the plan, This is important considering this property's location in the watershed of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir. There are no cultural or historic resources associated with this site. Anticipated impact on public facilities and services: Streets: The development will generate an additional 132 trips per day on Hydraulic Road and/or Georgetown Road, which provide primary access to the site. Staff and VDOT agrees that the traffic impact will be minimal. Water and Sewer: This site is located in the Rural Area but has Jurisdictional Area designation for public water and sewer. Attachment G shows that the Service Authority will want the sewer service connected to the existing man hole and the utility easements will need to be shown during the site plan stage, Schools: This type of development would not generate students, Fire, Rescue. Police: The Seminole Trail fire - rescue station serves this site, Albemarle County 5th Street Office Building contains the County's Police Department, although the police patrol all areas of the County. Current policy for police service recommends an average response time of 10 minutes for all Development Areas. Stormwater ManaQement: The applicant proposes managing the entire volume of storm water from this development in a variety of ways, including a storm water retention area, and underground holding tanks to hold rain water for landscape irrigation purposes. In general, this approach is acceptable and the County Engineer has no objection with the management concepts proposed. Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties: The office building aspects of this project are very much in keeping with the existing surrounding properties, which are comprised of residential and office/commercial uses. However, this property is wooded, which adds a particular characteristic and level of privacy for the adjacent properties. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD COMMENT This project was reviewed by the ARB on March 5, 2007. (See Attachment K) In summary, the ARB had no objection based on the preliminary site plan they reviewed, as long as the building and parking setbacks as illustrated and all RWSA requirements could be met without reducing the quantity or otherwise change the general character of the proposed plantings. The ARB provided several comments and suggestions for the applicant's next submittal, which are detailed in Attachment K. CODE OF DEVELOPMENT The Code of Development is included as Attachment C. It demonstrates that only two types of uses are allowed. They are retail sales and service establishments and services and public establishments. It contains the design details for the site and describes the conservation areas, preservation areas, amenities and provides other code of development standards. There are a few technical revisions needed to provide additional clarification regarding this development. The revisions will need to be completed prior to the Board of Supervisors public hearing. PROFFERS Proffers are provided as Attachment L. They are described as follows: Proffer 1. The applicant will install a permanent 5 - bike bicycle rack as shown on the plan no later than the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the building. Proffer 2. The applicant agrees to construct a bus shelter, including a bench as shown on the plan. If the location of the shelter is not determined by the time of certificate of occupancy of the building, then the applicant will pay 6 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 the County up to $7,800 in cash for the installation of the shelter. An annual adjustment of the cash proffer is also provided in the proffer. .roffer 3. The applicant agrees to construct the building to be a minimum of LEED Certified (under the LEED-NC Green Building Rating System for New Construction and Major Renovations, Version 2.2 (October 2005) or the LEED Green Building Rating System for Core & Shell Development, Version 2.0 (July 2006)). This will be verified by a licensed architect. Before a certificate of occupancy is provided for the building on the site a written statement from the architect regarding design and LEED certification of the building will be submitted to the County's Director of Community Development. Proffer 4. The conservation and preservation areas are generally delineated on the plan, but without boundaries. Therefore, the applicant needs to specify these areas on the plan with boundaries. Staff believes the proffers are substantively acceptable, except for proffer 4. They are still in need of technical and language revisions. (See Attachment L) WAIVERS The applicant has requested several waivers. The first is approval of a parking modification, which is an administrative request recommended for approval by Zoning. The Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors will need to act on the following waivers: Modification to the requirement that the Planned District designation be allowed only in the Development Areas, setback waiver, critical slopes waiver, and waiver of Section 20A.8 of the Zoning Ordinance (Mixture of dwelling types/mixture of uses). Analysis of the critical slopes waiver is in Attachment M with staffs recommendation for approval. . Regarding the request that this zoning district be allowed in the Rural Areas, staff makes the following analysis: The applicant is requesting a modification of Section 8.4 of the Zoning Ordinance which states that" A planned development district may be established in any development area identified in the comprehensive plan, and in any rural area identified in the comprehensive plan if the district is a planned historic district containing a historic eite and the purposes of the district include the restoration, preservation, conservation and enhancement of the istoric site, provided that its location is suitable for the character of the proposed uses and structures." "Section 8,2 allows an applicant to request that any requirement of sections 4, 5 and 32, or the planned development district regulations be waived or modified if it is found to be inconsistent with planned development design principles and that the waiver or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of the planned development district under the particular circumstances." As previously mentioned in this report, although the subject project is shown as located in Rural Area on the Land Use Plan, the property's proximity to the Development Area, and the characteristic of the surrounding property's to the subject site, the desire for a more "urban design" this close to the Development Area and the need to modify the rear setback make it a candidate for this waiver. The applicant is proposing a lower intensive use of the site than what the site is currently zoned for is also a positive reason for staffs support of this modification request. Staff recommends approval of the waiver to Section 8.4 to allow the zoning to occur in the Rural Areas. . The proposed office building encroaches by 2.5' into the required 50' setback from the Rural Area on the southwest side of the property. The applicant requests a waiver to permit a 47.5' setback. The small size of this property, the challenges of keeping development away from the utility easements, and the steep topography are elements that the applicant had to deal with in order to protect some of the sensitive areas, Thus, the proposed building encroaches 2,5' into the required 50' setback from the Rural Area. Staff feels the applicant has attempted to protect the rear of the site by keeping the development out of the watershed area, preserved some of the wooded area of the site, and kept the disturbance of the critical slopes somewhat low. Staff recommends approval of this waiver. . Section 20A.8 of the Zoning Ordinance calls for Neighborhood Model Districts to have a mixture of dwelling unit types and a mixture of uses. Due to the small size of this site, the applicant does not propose residential uses or a mixture of uses. The surrounding area has a mixture of uses and a variety of housing types; therefore, in this case, staff feels that a waiver of Section 20A.8 is appropriate given the many challenges of this site as previously mentioned in this report. SUMMARY etaff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this rezoning request: 1. The proposal meets most principles of the Neighborhood Model. 7 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads PC Public Hearing 2/19/08 2. The applicant is proposing a preservation area at the rear of the property as a protection measure for the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir watershed. This area, however, is not delineated on the plan. 3. Proposed parking will be located under the building and to the rear of the building. 4. The proposed use of the site is less intensive than what it is currently zoned for. Staff has identified the following factors, which are unfavorable to this rezoning request: 1. Property is outside of the Development Area. 2. Lack of committed delineation for conservation and preservation areas on the plan, 3. The proffers and Code of Development need technical revisions. RECOMMENDATION Provided that the areas of conservation and preservation are delineated on the plan and technical provisions to the Code of Development and proffers are completed prior to the Board of Supervisors' meeting, staff recommends approval of ZMA 2006-000014 Professional Office Building at Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads, inclusive of revised proffers, code of development and general development plan. Staff also recommends approval of the four waivers which are a waiver to Section 8.4, the rear setback waiver, critical slopes waiver, and waiver of Section 20A.8 relating to a mixture of uses and housing types.

APPLICATION FOR ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Planning Comm. Revision #3 Revision #2 Revision #1 Final Submittal First Submittal FEB 12,2008 JAN 29,2008 NOV 30, 2007 OCT 19,2007 AUG 18, 2006 JULY 31,2006 PROPERTY: TMP 60F-3B (1.051 acres) HYDRAULIC & GEORGETOWN ROADS ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA OWNER/ APPLICANT: CHRIS KABBASH P.O, BOX 496 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22902 A TTN: CHRIS KABBASH NARRATIVE: . The site is currently zoned C 1. The current zoning classification results from a 1981 rezoning from RA Rural Area, to C 1, Commercial, which occurred when a portion of the site was taken for the widening of Hydraulic Road, The 1981 C 1 rezoning was established specifically to allow for the location of a gas station / convenience store only, and no other commercial uses, An amendment to the original rezoning states that the new store would not exceed 2,579sf, An existing plan for a gas station/convenience store was developed, submitted and approved, The current Property Owner purchased the approved site-plan and retains this as a default "by-right". Upon reviewing the approved site plan for the Gas Station / Convenience store the applicant has concluded that for a number of reasons, this is not the best development scenario for this site. Access to and from the site is problematic, and the gas/convenience store would require and generate a high volume of troffic. The site borders the County's Urban Growth area, and is better suited to a traditional commercial or residential development. The applicant has presented a preliminary concept for a 2-story commercial building with relegated parking to the Planning Commission, and received endorsement for the concept. The applicant is requesting rezoning from C 1 to NMD in order to develop the site in a manner more consistent with Albemarle County's Neighborhood Model of Development. The Applicant proposes to develop a 2-story, professional office building, located close to the sidewalk, with relegated parking. This strategy provides lesser impacts with regards to generating traffic and noise, and is more compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial properties, The . l I M E H 0 USE ARC HIT E C T S, l C 946 GRADY AVENUE #27 CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA 22903 ph: 434-293-8537 Ix: 434-295-3536 e: limehs@earthlinknet Attachment C building is 17,017gsf. This breaks down into 9,558sf of net office and 7,459sf of common/utility/non-usable space and 3,491 sf of tenants' basement storage, 1). Existing Site Conditions Site is located on South-West corner of intersection of Georgetown & Hydraulic Roads, currently with no buildings, development or improvements, Property was formerly in rural area, but was rezoned to C l-Commercial in the 1980's during VDOT widening of Hydraulic Road. Rezoning was to permit a Gas Station/Convenience Store only, and no other type of commercial use (ZMA 81-07, 82-08, both with proffers). The other three "corners" at this intersection are in Albemarle County's Growth area, and are zoned to permit commercial, mixed use. The site has a 100'-120' wide flat area for development that parallels Hydraulic Road. Past this flat area, the site drops off, sloping down to the back property line, Adjacent properties are zoned Residential RA, R6 and commercial. 2), Existing Approved Site Plan - Convenience Store/Gas Station Building: Parking: 1-story 2,400sf Convenience Store w / Canopy & (2) Gas Pumps 18 spaces Per rezoning described above, current Site plan was developed and approved to permit construction of a Gas Station/Convenience Store. Drawings, prepared by B. Aubrey Huffman and Associates, are dated from 3/31/97 - 1/24/01, with final approval signatures dated 7/31/01. Three additional dedicated parking spaces are provided for adjacent property as negotiated per rezoning approval. 3). Proposed Site Plan - 2-Story Office Building, NMD Zoning Parking: 2-story professional office building. 9,558sf office, 7,459sf common & 3,491 gsf storage. Provided: 51 spaces (ind, 2 HC) Required: 51 spaces = 48 spaces + 3 dedicated for adjacent property. Building: Site plan proposes that building front Hydraulic and Georgetown roads, wi parking relegated behind building. Building wraps corner of Hydraulic and Georgetown, facing both streets. Front setback varies from 9.6' & 13.5' at building corners, to 21.9' at center. Note that existing property line on Hydraulic Road is currently located 10' from the back of sidewalk, setbacks from property line creates zone for widened sidewalk and landscaping. Rezoning from C 1 to NMD would permit professional office building instead of convenience store and would permit creation of "urban street edge" and landscaped street frontage. A single access point to the site will be from the far north corner, on Hydraulic Road, at the optimal location from a traffic engineering standpoint. :2 . Note: This Application for Zoning Map Amendment was first submitted August 1, 2006, Per Planning Commission direction, the project was further submitted for review by the Architectural Review Board. As a result of A.R,B. Advisory Review, and further Planning Commission Review, significant Architectural and Engineering work was completed, addressing all comments. Preliminary approval of the concept was obtained. 20A.3 - NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL OF DEVELOPMENT - APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS 20A.3.a - statement of Consistency with NMD Principles . The proposed development alone does not meet all NMD principles. However combined with adjacent properties the project contributes to NMD principles. The following is a brief overview of the proposed development's contribution to NMD principles: 1, Pedestrian Orientation - The development is adjacent to Albemarle County's Urban Growth Area. The development is located such that access is easily achieved by transit, bike or foot, The development is close to other existing and developing commercial buildings, further contributing to a growing density and variety of commercial options convenient for pedestrians. The project is convenient to numerous residences within easy walking distance. 2, Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths - The minimal setback and relegated parking provide a more pleasant, and interesting streetscape, further encouraging pedestrian activity, The project includes widened sidewalks on Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads, and pedestrian paths surrounding the building, 3. Interconnected street & transportation networks - The project is a single building, and is interconnected by county sidewalk systems. Sidewalk will be widened and landscaped, encouraging and improving pedestrian activity. Project is also on bus route. Connectivity to adjacent residential properties was researched but was not sought by residents for privacy and environmental protection. Interconnectivity to adjacent commercial property was investigated, but was not encouraged due to issues with preservirg critical slopes and wooded areas of site. Pedestrian interconnectivity is planned to adjacent commercial property for the purpose of shared parking. A bus stop is proffered. 4. Parks and Open Space as Amenities - The project proposes to leave an existing wooded buffer of mature trees intact. Additionally, the proposed landscaping in the front and around the building will enhance the overall look of the site contributing to street-scaping on Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads. There is also a picnic area provided as on amenity. . 3 5. Neighborhood Centers - The project contributes towards creating a future neighborhood Center at the intersection of Hydraulic & Georgetown by providing office space for professional businesses that may be of service to surrounding residents, 6. Buildings and Spaces of a Human Scale - The project proposes a 2-Story building, with minimal setback, relegated parking and street landscaping. This approach establishes a model for a pleasing urban streetscape on Hydraulic Road. The architecture of the building is traditional/classical. proportioned and detailed at a comfortable human scale, 7. Releqated Parking - The project proposes that the parking shall be relegated behind, and partially "tucked-under" the building. The tuck-under parking allows minimal impact to wooded critical slopes. 8. Mixture of Uses and Use Types - This project is for a single commercial building, designed to provide 9,558 net sf of office space to multiple professional businesses, Per NMD variances permitted, project is an infill project, and is within 1/4 mile of two or more housing types as well as other mixed uses. The list of approved uses has been expanded to include additional commercial, retail and residential uses. 9. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability - This project is for a single commercial building, designed to provide 9,558sf of office space to multiple professional businesses. Per NMD variances permitted, project is an infill project, and is within 1/4 mile of two or more housing types as well as other mixed uses. 10. Redevelopment - This project is located on an Infill Site, adjacent to the Urban Growth area. It is not located on undeveloped farmland. 11. Site Planning that Respects Terrain - The proposed location of the building and parking minimizes retaining walls and foundations. The building and tuck-under parking areas are efficiently sited on the flat. upper area of the site, Disturbance to the sloped and lower areas of the site are kept to a minimum. 12, Clear Boundaries with the Rural Area - This site is located in the County's Rural Area, however it is also located adjacent to the growth area. The zoning is currently C 1, permitting a convenience store & gas station. The rezoning to NMD permits a project more compatible in design and siting, that properly complements the surrounding growth area properties, and provides a lesser impact on the adjacent and nearby residential properties, The buffer at the rear of the site will remain untouched and therefore be considered a preservation area. The existing vegetation, which includes pine, poplar, hickory, maple and oak trees, will remain. The buffer at the Georgetown Road side of the property is, and will remain, a utility easement and therefore a conservation area, maintained by the utility company to their standards. 4 . This project alone, does not meet all criteria of the Neighborhood Model District as stated in Section 20A. Overall the site is too small to be able to accommodate most of the requirements of the NMD district, However, the project itself contributes to the mixture of use requirement, in addition to providing open space as amenities and relegated parking. The project is located in close proximity to a school complex, is within quarter of a mile of a residential area, is adjacent to a bus stop and is immediately adjacent to Albemarle County's growth area, 20A.3.b - Parking and Loading Needs Study: Parking for the proposed project has been calculated by using the Albemarle County Zoning Code as it would apply to the proposed professional office building. The project proposes 9,558 net sf of commercial office space. Parking needs are calculated at 1 parking space per 200sf. Total parking needs are calculated to be 48 spaces max, to include handicapped accessible parking. Additionally, (1 ) loading space and dumpster location will be provided. The existing site plan requires provision of three spaces for an adjacent business.

Members attending were Eric Strucko, Bill Edgerton, Jo Higgins, Jon Cannon, Marcia Joseph, Chairman and Calvin Morris, Vice-Chairman, Absent was Pete Craddock. Julia Monteith, Senior Land Use Planner for the University of Virginia, representative for David J. Neuman, FAIA, Architect for University of Virginia, was absent. Other officials present were Elaine Echols, Principal Planner; Bill Fritz, Development Review Manager; Keith Lancaster, Senior Planner; Claudette Grant, Senior Planner; Judy Wiegand, Senior Planner; David Pennock, Principal Planner and Greg Kamptner, Deputy County Attorney. Call to Order and Establish Quorum: Ms. Joseph called the regular meeting to order at 6:00 p.m, and established a quorum. Other Matters Not Listed on the Agenda from the Public: Ms. Joseph invited comment from the public on other matters not listed on the agenda. There being none, the meeting moved on to the next item. Consent Agenda: a. SDP 2006-038 Korean Community Church - Critical Slopes Waiver Request: Request for waiver of Sec. 4.2 building site requirements in order to construct portions of parking and drive aisles, as well as associated grading on critical slopes. The property, described as Tax Map 59, Parcel 23G, is located in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District 350 feet from Ivy Road (Route #250) approximately 0.28 miles from its intersection with Broomley Road (Route #677). The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Rural Areas in Rural Area 1. (David Pennock) b. SUB 2006-104 West End at Western Ridge Open Space Appropriateness Determination: Request for approval of open space for a 16 lot subdivision in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned R4, Residential. The property, described as Tax Map 56E, Section 1, Parcel A is located in the White Hall Magisterial District off of Lake Tree Lane [SR #1251] in the Western Ridge development which is located off of Three Notch'd Road [Route #240] approximately 1.5 miles east of its intersection with Crozet Avenue [SR #810]. The Crozet Master Plan of the Comprehensive Plan designates these properties as District CT3 Urban Edge. (Francis MacCall) Ms. Joseph asked if any Commissioner wanted to pull an item from the consent agenda, She asked to pull SDP-2006-038, Korean Community Church - Critical Slopes Waiver Request so that staff could explain the discrepancy between the executive summary and the body of the staff report. Mr. Pennock stated that SDP-2006-038, Korean Community Church was a request for a waiver to allow critical slopes disturbance associated with the construction of the church. The original staff report that went out included an incorrect executive summary with an incorrect background. The correct background site is that the site is located in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District about 250' off of Ivy Road just west of the city. There is an existing Volvo Dealership in front of the site. Just west of this property is the Korean Community Church and Christian Aid Mission. There has been no activity on this parcel previously. The proposal is for the construction of a new church. The applicant has submitted a request for a waiver in accordance with Section 4.2 of the zoning ordinance. The disturbance is for the construction of drive isles, a dumpster pad and associated grading for the construction of this site. Staff analyzed the requests in two parts in an engineering and planning review. From a planning perspective the identified critical slopes were not identified as aesthetic resources in the critical resources plan. In the ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION - JUNE 6, 2006 Attachment E / Gary Fern, Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, introduced himself as Bill Brent's replacement. For the last 25 years he has been in consulting engineering and is a professional engineer and has sat through numerous Planning Commission meetings. Mr. Morris asked what he thought about the three entrances. He asked if all three entrances were needed. Mr. Fern said that he had been to the site twice, which was not in regards to this application. In looking at it he would note that one of the entrances was solely dedicated to the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority in order to get their trucks back to the loading dock for chemical and other equipment. So that entrance is necessary. The middle entrance is for the lawn mower service. The far entrance is used very sporadically by our own trucks in order to get to equipment that they might store from time to time in that third area. What they don't want to do is to be driving through the space that Paul's Lawnmower is renting. So they sometimes take that third route. But, he would certainly look at that a little closer. Mr. Edgerton noted that the Commission is always asking people to limit the number of entrances. Ms. Higgins noted that the activity when there is peak traffic she has never seen any tractor trailers. There is a new fence up and it is gated. So it is not like people are driving in and out of that one without somebody going in and opening that gate. So that entrance to the far right is not used very often. There is good site distance. There is not a lot of activity on the far entrance. It is the center entrance that is used most and she has never seen anyone sitting and waiting to pull out. She drives through that area to Crozet possibly two times a day. There being no further questions, Ms. Joseph invited public comment. There being none, she closed the public hearing to bring the matter before the Commission. Motion: Mr. Morris moved, Mr. Cannon seconded, to recommend approval of ZMA-2006-04, Albemarle County Service Authority - Crozet property to extend the sunset date from 2006 to 2016, for use of a contractor's equipment storage yard and warehouse facilities at the site, The motion passed by a vote of 6:0. (Commissioner Craddock was absent.) Ms. Joseph stated that ZMA-2006-04, Albemarle County Service Authority - Crozet would go before the Board of Supervisors on July 5, 2006 with a recommendation for approval. Work Session: Georgetown/Hydraulic Road Office Pre-application Work Session PROJECT: Development at southwest corner of Georgetown/Hydraulic Roads intersection PROPOSAL: Rezone 1.051 acres from C-1 zoning district which allows Retail sales and service uses; and residential uses by special use permit (15 units/acre) to a commercial designation with a change in proffers. The applicant proposes to develop a two-story, 12,250 sq. ft. professional office building on the site. Request to review for general conformity with Comprehensive Plan and site development comment. PROFFERS: No EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE/DENSITY: Rural Areas - preserve and protect agricultural, forestall, open space, and natural, historic and scenic resources/density (.5 unit/acre) ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: Yes LOCATION: Southwest corner of Georgetown/Hydraulic Roads intersection. TAX MAP/PARCEL: 60F/3 MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Jack Jouett STAFF: Claudette Grant ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION - JUNE 6, 2006 16 Ms. Grant presented a power point presentation and summarized the staff report. She pointed out that one of the issues mentioned in the staff report was the 12" water line. At the conclusion of the power point presentation, she offered to answer any questions. Ms. Echols pointed out that part of the problems with this site is that it is in the designated rural areas and not the development areas, That puts a lot of emphasis on the need for this work session. The property was in the rural areas and rezoned for the convenience store. The staff report has the history. The by right use right now would be the convenience store that the applicant really does not want to use it for. There are a lot of difficulties to use the property for a convenience store use. So the applicant is looking at alternative uses. There are several versions of how the property can be developed. Because of its location staff has done a review based on the development areas and not the rural areas. It is a little bit of a unique circumstance, Keith Woodard, contract purchaser, and John Grady, representative for the seller were present. In summary, the Planning Commission held a pre-application work session on Georgetown/Hydraulic Road Office to review the request for general conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and site plan comments. Staff provided direction and guidance on several topic areas and questions to guide discussion. The Commission reviewed and discussed the proposal with staff and the applicant and then responded to the preliminary questions posed by staff. The Commission provided the following feedback on the issues mentioned in the staff report as follows: Is the proposed development sufficiently in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan? Generally, the Commission felt that the proposed development is basically not in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan, but the proposed use is better than the use for which the applicant is now entitled and is okay. Is the proposed use appropriate? Generally, the Commission considers that the proposed use is appropriate, The proposed use is less intensive than the permitted use for a gas station/convenience store. Therefore, it is better than the use that the applicant is now entitled. Generally, the Commission has no problem with the size or proposed use. Is the design and layout of the building and site appropriate? Generally, the Commission liked the design and layout of the building and site in plan view a. with the relegated parking in the rear and bringing the building close to the road with the understanding that the proposal would be reviewed by the Architectural Review Board who would have some input on those things. The Commission did not have any problem with the proposed size of the building (12,000 square feet), Where should interconnections take place? Generally, the Commission felt that pedestrian connectivity should be made to the next door neighbor (OFM Building) and not with Georgetown Green. The buffer to the rear should be left intact. Is the access to the site appropriate? Generally, the Commission felt that the access to the site is appropriate acknowledging the fact that the engineering department says that the access shown on Georgetown Road can not happen because of the distance between the intersection and that entrance, The access approval needs to be coordinated with VDOT. The Commission acknowledged that there is going to be a right turn and left turn out at the entrance on Hydraulic Road.

The plan does not address the other three previous comments. However, these are more comments for the design stages of a project. The only comment I really have is that the access point on a turn lane is undesirable. The problem is that it is probably the best location for a commercial entrance on this corner.

It is very undesirable to have an entrance on the taper section of a turn lane, The turn lane should be extended to Georgetown Green as in the previously approved plan. 2. The plan needs to show the intersection of 656 and 743 and show details of turn movements, lane widths, storage lengths, etc, All projected and existing traffic needs to be shown on the plan. 3. Sight lines need to be shown for the entrance to the sight and also for the existing intersection of 656 and 743. 4. Vehicles heading northbound trying to take a left into the site will cause a dangerous condition. This needs to be addressed in the design of the site. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know, Thanks, Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E. Residency Program Manager 434-293-0011 Ext. 120 joel. denu nzio@lVirainiaDOT, 0 rQ . October 19, 2007 Ron Higgins Department of Community Development 401 Mcintire Road, Room 227 Charlottesville, VA 22903 Re: Parking Modification Request - ZMA-06-014 Professional Office Building at Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads Dear Ron, Please consider this letter as a formal request for a modification of parking requirements for the above mentioned development project. The code suggests that one method of calculating the required number of parking spaces is: 15,675 GSF x 0.8 = 12,540 SF net. At 1 space per 200 SF = 63 spaces. (Note: 12,000 GSF office space + 1,675 GSF lobby + 2,000 GSF storage = 15,675 GSF) . However, we propose to use a calculation of 80% of total leasable space (12,000gsf) and at 1 space per 200sf, which more accurately represents the way building will be used. Per our calculations, 80% of total leasable office space is 9,600sf and at 1 space per 200sf will require 48 parking spaces. The plan provides the required 48 spaces arid 3 additional spaces required for an adjacent property for a total of 51 spaces. As designed, the basement is not habitable, or separately leasable space and it is strictly assigned to tenants, and as such would not require additional parking. Although code requires 2 spaces minimum for warehouse space, we can design the space in a manner where ceiling height/dimensions would be such that the building code would not permit it to be leased or occupied separately, eliminating the need for parking beyond the office square footage. . Please note that the basement space is a result of accommodating the A.R.B. 's request for tuck-under parking in order to minimize the impact on the slope and vegetation at the back of the site, as well as to hide the view of parking from the street. Also, the number of parking spaces decreased when the parking was relegated. The wedge shape of the site forced a decrease in parking. Attachment J Finally, we would like to present some additional factors. The site is adjacent to County's Urban Growth area, there is a bus stop immediately adjacent to Georgetown Road, bike racks will be provided. Our Code of Development envisions the possibility of residential use which could alleviate some of the parking requirements by providing shared parking in the future. As a developer who has a key interest in making sure that the tenants are properly served, I am satisfied that this proposed parking will be adequate. Thank you for the consideration of this request.

The Board took the following actions, Regarding the Request for the Rezoning, the Board by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning Commission: The ARB has no objection based on the preliminary site plan "GeorgetownlHydraulic Professional Offices" dated January 19, 2007 and the building elevation "Two Story Office Building at Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads" dated January 22, 2007 if the building and parking setbacks as illustrated and all R WSA requirements can be met without reducing the quantity or otherwise changing the general character of the proposed planting. Regarding the Preliminary Site Plan, the Board made the following comments and suggestions for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. 1, Provide, in writing, all authorization from R WSA regarding proposed building, tree and shrub locations as they relate to the existing 12" water line, Move the Ginkgo Biloba "Princeton Sentry ", at the southeast comer of the Georgetown Building, out of the power easement, or provide documentation that it is permitted and will be allowed to reach mature height, with topping of the tree prohibited and only minimal pruning permitted to support its overall health. 2, The cast stone Dark Buff Limestone sample is acceptable. Provide a mortar color that is similar to it. 3. Revise the site plan to show the proposed height and material of the retaining walls. Provide a sample of the retaining wall material for review. Revise the site plan to show the proposed location and method of screening for all mechanical equipment; details, including method of construction and A TT ACHMENT K ARB-07-08 Hydraulic Georgetown Office Building Page 2 of3 March 26, 2007 proposed color, for the dumpster enclosure (masonry enclosure preferred); and proposed building and parking setbacks. Revise the site plan layout so that the parking space next to the site entrance does not violate the 10' parking setback. Revise the parking schedule to include the three parking spaces that are required for the adjoining parcel to the north. 4. Revise the site layout so that buildings do not violate the existing 50' side setback along the southeast property line, and the retaining wall can be constructed without disturbing the 20' non-disturb buffer adjacent to the same property line. Consider relocating the two proposed parking spaces at the south end of the parking lot so that the proposed retaining wall behind the Georgetown Building can be moved farther from the non-disturb buffer. 5. Revise the site and landscape plans to clearly show the location of all existing and proposed utilities with the boundary of their respective easements clearly drafted and labeled. Revise the grading plan to keep all proposed grading and site improvements (including retaining walls), a minimum offive feet from all buffers and outside of all utility easements. Revise the site and landscape plans to show the location of all existing and proposed tree lines. Revise the Existing Conditions sheet so that all existing conditions that are to be removed are so labeled. 6. Provide a landscape schedule on the landscape plan with all proposed planting sizes clearly noted. Revise the landscape plan to show existing trees to remain, five trees, 2.5" caliper, in interior parking lot islands, and trees 2.5" in caliper, 40' on center, along the perimeter of the parking lot. 7. Provide a lighting photometric plan showing the location of all proposed site, building and decorative lighting, Provide a luminaire schedule of all proposed exterior lighting. Indicate in the schedule all lighting options chosen, and the colors proposed for the fixtures and poles. All proposed lighting exceeding the 3,000 lumens threshold must be a full cutoff design. Lighting values can not exceed Y2 foot candle at a public right-of-way line or at a property line adjoining a residential or rural area district. 8. Revise the tower elevations to allow the walls ofthe tower to rise higher above the cornice of the main building roofline. Consider reducing the roof slope of the tower. The Hunter Green Benjamin Moore 204110 is currently approved for the tower roof. Charcoal gray would also be an appropriate color. Onyz black is acceptable for the shingles of the main roof. 9. Revise the drawings to specify exactly which cast stone product is proposed for the sign panels and provide a sample. Provide all ARB signage checklist items with the next submission. 10. Relocate the dumpster so that it is not visible from the EC. 11. Provide sections of the south end of the site to illustrate the visibility of the southeast comer of the parking lot. 12. Show more of the Hydraulic Road EC on the site plan so that visibility from the EC of the building can be better determined. 13, Indicate that female gender Ginkgo trees will not be used, 14. If a half-round window is used over the main entrance, it should be a true half-round window [with the glass beginning at the radius, with the frame and sill below that radius, so as not to foreshorten the half-circle into an ellipse or flattened circle]. 15. Provide details of the proposed cornice line, Note: The ARB was split on the color ofthe downspouts. Mr. Wright preferred bronze, Ms. Smith and Mr. . . .

Kelsey, PE - Transportation Engineer 26 November 2007 ZMA 2006-014 Professional Office Building at Hydraulic & Georgetown Roads Application Plan The application plan for this zoning map amendment has been reviewed. My previous comments have been adequately addressed. And approval of the Application Plan is recommended. Critical Slope Waiver Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance: From the southern property line to the northern property line, the middle portion of this site is traversed by a variable width strip of existing critical slopes. This strip contains approximately 9580 square feet (0,22 acres) of critical slopes and represents about 21 % of the total parcel area. These critical slopes are to be disturbed predominantly to construct the site improvements, which include the retaining walls, portions of the parking . lot, and the drainage/stormwater management system, The table below summarizes the critical slope data. Areas Total site Critical slopes Critical slopes disturbed Acres 1.051 9580 sf (0.22 acs) 5902 sf (0.14 acs) 21 % of site 62% of critical slopes Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18-4.2: "movement of soil and rock": Installation of the Red-Rock retaining wall system, control of drainage during and after construction, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement of soil. "excessive stormwater runoff': Storm water runoff will be managed by the storm water management facilities designed and approved in accordance with the Water Protection Ordinance. "siltation": Erosion control measures design and installed in accordance with County standards, bonding to assure compliance, and inspection by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Proper stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability. . "loss of aesthetic resource": A portion of impacted critical slopes are wooded. The bulk ofthe existing trees that screen Georgetown Green are within an existing 20 foot vegetative buffer and the 50 foot rear building setback and will not be impacted by the improvements shown on the Application Plan (refer to Sheet 4 of 4 Existing Conditions). "septic effluent": This site will be served by public sewer so this is not a concern. ATTACHMENT M ZMA 2006-014 POB at Hydraulic & Georgetown Roads Page 2 of2 The commission may modify or waive any requirement of section 4.2 in a particular case upon finding that: (Amended 11-15-89) 1. Strict application of the requirements of section 4.2 would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public health, safety or welfare, or that alternatives proposed by the developer would satisfy the purposes of section 4.2 to at least an equivalent degree; or (Added 11-15-89) The current zoning limits this use to a Gas Station/Convenience Store, which has a greater impact on the existing critical slopes and screening trees due to the access and site circulation needs for the fuel deliverv trucks. As such the previously approved Gas Station/Convenience Store site plan allowed a retaining/building wall (5' to 12' high) facing Georgetown Green as well as the site cleared and a 2: 1 slope graded down to the 20 foot buffer adjacent to Georgetown Green. Modification/waiver of this provision will allow for a use and a "form" of development that will have significantly less impact on both the critical slopes and the existing trees. 2. Due to its unusual size, topography, shape of the property, location of the property or other unusual conditions, excluding the proprietary interest of the developer, the requirements of section 4.2 would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property or would result in significant degradation of the site or adjacent properties. Such modification or waiver shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly development of the area, or to adjacent properties, or be contrary to sound engineering practices; or (Added 11-15-89) This provision applies for all of the reasons stated in #1 above. Approval of the request would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. Factors favorable to approval of a modification to allow activity on critical slopes: . Approval of the request would not result in negative effects identified in Section 4.2. . The critical slopes on this property are not identified in the Open Space Plan. . Approval of this request will have less impact on the critical slopes and the existing screening trees than the Gas Station/Convenience Store use to which this site is limited and the site plan previously approved for this site. . Approval of this request will allow a more Neighborhood Model form of site development than the previously approved Gas Station/Convenience Store site plan. Factors unfavorable to approval of a modification to allow activity on critical slopes: . Construction of retaining walls that face Georgetown Green are necessary to minimize impacts to the critical slopes and the existing trees, for the site to be developed as illustrated on the Application Plan. Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns for the disturbance of the critical slopes anticipated with this development. Therefore, I recommend Commission approval of this modification of Section 4.2.3. JK\ File: E5_zma~mk]OB at Hydraulic-Georgetown.doc 172 South Pantops Drive ianottesvil,e , VA 22911 . .

Approximately 5,902 sf (0.13 ac) in critical slopes (59% of 0.22 ac on site) will be affected by the proposed construction. The approved site plan impacts more critical slopes. The Ordinance states that "These provisions are created to implement the comprehensive plan by protecting and conserving steep hillsides together with public drinking water sllPplies and flood plain areas and in recognition of increased potential for soil erosio~ water pollution and septic disposal problems associated with the development of those areas described in the comprehensive plan as critical slopes." Rapid and/or large scale movement of soil and rock Proper construction of slopes and control of drainage will prevent movement of soil and rock. Excessive storm-water run-off There will not be excessive storm-water run-off as storm-water detention is required. Detention will be accomplished using underground storage. Siltation.of natural and man-made bodies of water County inspection and bonding of erosion control measures will address excessive siltation during construction. Proper vegetative stabilization will prevent long term siltation. Loss of aesthetic resource There is no loss of aesthetic resource in this case.

The property is currently zoned to C-l and it is adjacent to a Rural Area district, therefore a 50' setback is required. The proposed office building encroaches by 2.5' into the required 50' setback from the Rural Area on the southwest side ofthe property. The physical conditions of the site (critical slopes) limit the number of site designs we were able to create in order to provide the proposed square footage with the size of parking required to accommodate the building. Shifting the building in turn will disturb the sidewalk, parking and entrance into the building complex, . Based on the infomlation above, a waiver to pemlit a 47.5' setback is requested.

This letter is written to accompany the Zoning Map Amendment submittal for the above referenced property. Per the accompanying submittal, the applicant is requesting rezoning from C 1 to NMD in order to develop the site in a manner more consistent with Albemarle County's Neighborhood Model of Development. The submittal illustrates how this project will meet the various requirements of the NMD requirements, with the exception of a mixed-use/residential component. The applicant is requesting a waiver to the requirement for mixed-use/ residential component for the following reasons, as permitted by the NMD code; 1. Project is an infill project, and is within 1/4 mile of two or more housing types as well as other mixed uses. 2. In addition to meeting the requirements permitted for waiver, the building is designed in a manner that would permit future conversion to residential if desired.

The 1981 C 1 rezoning was established specifically to allow for the location of a gas station / convenience store only, and no other commercial uses. An amendment to the original rezoning states that the new store would not exceed 2,579sf. An existing plan for a gas station/convenience store was developed, submitted and approved. The current Property Owner purchased the approved site-plan and retains this as a default "by-right". Upon reviewing the approved site plan for the Gas Station / Convenience store the applicant has concluded that for a number of reasons, this is not the best development scenario for this site. Access to and from the site is problematic and the gas/convenience store would require and generate a high volume of traffic. The site borders the County's Urban Growth area, and is better suited to a traditional commercial or residential development, The applicant has presented a preliminary concept for a 2-story commercial building with relegated parking to the Planning Commission, and received endorsement for the concept. The applicant is requesting rezoning from C 1 to NMD in order to develop the site in a manner more consistent with Albemarle County's Neighborhood Mocel of Development. The Applicant proposes to develop a 2-story, professional office building, located close to the sidewalk, with relegated parking. This strategy provides lesser impacts with regards to generating traffic and noise, and is more compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial properties.

Existing Site Conditions Site is located on South-West corner of intersection of Georgetown & Hydraulic Roads, currently with no buildings, development or improvements. Property was formerly in rural area, but was rezoned to C l-Commercial in the 1980's during VDOT widening of Hydraulic Road. Rezoning was to permit a Gas Station/Convenience Store only, and no other type of commercial use (ZMA 81-07, 82-08, both with proffers). The other three "corners" at this intersection are in Albemarle County's Growth area, and are zoned to permit commercial, mixed use. The site has a 100'-120' wide flat area for development that parallels Hydraulic Road, Past this flat area, the site drops off, sloping down to the back property line. Adjacent properties are zoned Residential RA, R6 and commercial. 2). Existing Approved Site Plan - Convenience Store/Gas Station Building: Parking: 1-story 2,400sf Convenience Store w / Canopy & (2) Gas Pumps 18 spaces Per rezoning described above, current Site plan was developed and approved to permit construction of a Gas Station/Convenience Store, Drawings, prepared by B. Aubrey Huffman and Associates, are dated from 3/31/97 - 1/24/01, with final approval signatures dated 7/31/01. Three additional dedicated parking spaces are provided for adjacent property as negotiated per rezoning approval, 3), Proposed Site Plan - 2-Story Office Building, NMD Zoning Building: 2-story professional office building. 9,516sf office, 3,808sf common & 3,491 gsf storage. Provided: 51 spaces (ind, 2 He) Required: 51 spaces = 48 spaces + 3 dedicated for adjacent property. Parking: Site plan proposes that building front Hydraulic and Georgetown roads, w/ parking relegated behind building, Building wraps corner of Hydraulic and Georgetown, facing both streets. Front setback varies from 9.6' & 13.5' at building corners, to 21.9' at center, Note that existing property line on Hydraulic Road is currently located 10' from the back of sidewalk, setbacks from property line creates zone for widened sidewalk and landscaping, Rezoning from C 1 to NMD would permit professional office building instead of convenience store and would permit creation of "urban street edge" and landscaped street frontage. A single access point to the site will be from the far north corner, on Hydraulic Road, at the optimal location from a traffic engineering standpoint. , . Note: This Application for Zoning Map Amendment was first submitted August 1, 2006. Per Planning Commission direction, the project was further submitted for review by the Architectural Review Board. As a result of A.R.B. Advisory Review, and further Planning Commission Review, significant Architectural and Engineering work was completed, addressing all comments, Preliminary approval of the concept was obtained. 20A.3 - NEIGHBORHOOD MODEl OF DEVElOPMENT - APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS 20A.3,a - statement of Consistency with NMD Principles . The proposed development alone does not meet all NMD principles, However combined with adjacent properties the project contributes to NMD principles. The following is a brief overview of the proposed development's contribution to NMD principles: 1. Pedestrian Orientation - The development is adjacent to Albemarle County's Urban Growth Area. The development is located such that access is easily achieved by transit, bike or foot. The development is close to other existing and developing commercial buildings, further contributing to a growing density and variety of commercial options convenient for pedestrians. The project is convenient to numerous residences within easy walking distance. 2. Neiqhborhood Friendly Streets and Paths - The minimal setback and relegated parking provide a more pleasant, and interesting streetscape, further encouraging pedestrian activity. The project includes widened sidewalks on Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads, and pedestrian paths surrounding the building, 3. Interconnected street & transportation networks - The project is a single building, and is interconnected by county sidewalk systems. Sidewalk will be widened and landscaped, encouraging and improving pedestrian activity. Project is also on bus route. Connectivity to adjacent residential properties was researched but was not sought by residents for privacy and environmental protection. Interconnectivity to adjacent commercial property was investigated, but was not encouraged due to issues with preserving critical slopes and wooded areas of site. Pedestrian interconnectivity is planned to adjacent commercial property for the purpose of shared par'king. A bus stop is proffered. 4. Parks and Open Space as Amenities - The project proposes to leave an existing wooded buffer of mature trees intact. Additionally, the proposed landscaping in the front and around the building will enhance the overall look of the site contributing to street-scaping on Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads. There is also a picnic area provided as an amenity. . .' , . . 5. Neiqhborhood Centers - The project contributes towards creating a future neighborhood Center at the intersection of Hydraulic & Georgetown by providing office space for professional businesses that may be of service to surrounding residents. 6. Buildings and Spaces of a Human Scale - The project proposes a 2-Story building, with minimal setback, relegated parking and street landscaping. This approach establishes a model for a pleasing urban streetscape on Hydraulic Road. The architecture of the building is traditional/classical, proportioned and detailed at a comfortable human scale. 7. Relegated Parking - The project proposes that the parking shall be relegated behind, and partially "tucked-under" the building, The tuck-under parking allows minimal impact to wooded critical slopes. 8. Mixture of Uses and Use Types - This project is for a single commercial building, designed to provide 9,516 net sf of office space to multiple professional businesses. Per NMD variances permitted, project is an infill project, and is within 1/4 mile of two or more housing types as well as other mixed uses. The list of approved uses has been expanded to include additional commercal, retail and residential uses. 9. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability - This project is for a single commercial building, designed to provide 9,516sf of office space to multiple professional businesses. Per NMD variances permitted, project is an infill project, and is within 1/4 mile of two or more housing types as well as other mixed uses. 10. Redevelopment - This project is located on an Infill Site, adjacent to the Urban Growth area. It is not located on undeveloped farmland. 11, Site Planning that Respects Terrain - The proposed location of the building and parking minimizes retaining walls and foundations. The building and tuck-under parking areas are efficiently sited on the flat, upper area of the site. Disturbance to the sloped and lower areas of the site are kept to 0 minimum. 12, Clear Boundaries with the Ruml Area - This site is locoted in the County s Rurol Area, however it is also located adjacent to the growth area. The zoning is currently C 1, permitting a convenience store & gas station. The rezoning to NMD permits a project more compatible in design and siting, that properly complements the surrounding growth area properties, and provides a lesser impact on the adjacent and nearby residential properties. The buffer at the rear of the site will remain untouched and therefore be considered a preservation area. The existing vegetation, which includes pine, poplar, hickory, maple and oak trees. will remain. The buffer at the Georgetown Road side of the property is, and will remain, a utility easement and therefore a conservation area, maintained by the utility company to their standards. . --l , . This project alone, does not meet all criteria of the Neighborhood Model District as stated in Section 20A. Overall the site is too small to be able to accommodate most of the requirements of the NMD district. However, the project itself contributes to the mixture of use requirement, in addition to providing open space as amenities and relegated parking. The project is located in close proximity to a school complex, is within quarter of a mile of a residential area, is adjacent to a bus stop and is immediately adjacent to Albemarle County's growth area. 20A.3.b - Parking and Loadinq Needs Study: Parking for the proposed project has been calculated by using the Albemarle County Zoning Code as it would apply to the proposed professional office building. The project proposes 9,516 net sf of commercial office space. Parking needs are calculated at 1 parking space per 200sf. Total parking needs are calculated to be 48 spaces max, to include handicapped accessible parking. Additionally, (1) loading space and dumpster location will be provided. The existing site plan requires provision of three spaces for an adjacent business. These spaces are provided in addition to required parking. . 20A,3.c - Storm water: The project will handle all storm water on site, as typically required by code. This will be accomplished through a variety of strategies, including storm water retention area, and underground holding tanks to hold rainwater for landscape irrigation purposes. 20A.3,d -General Development Plan: See Attached 20A.3.e - Code of Development: See Attached . ~ , . 20A.4 - GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN See accompanying submittal drawings 20A.4.a - Gross Square Footage Non-Residential & Residential: Non - Residential-16,815gsf (9,516sf office & 3,808sf common/lobby) & 3.491 gsf basement storage.

Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan: Comprehensive Plan designates the subject properties as Rural Areas emphasizing the preservation and protection of agricultural, forestal, open space, and natural, historic and scenic resources as land use options. Churches are integral to the historic context of rural communities. Constructed between 1862 and 1863, Emmanuel Episcopal Church is considered to be an important historic resource in the County and is so noted in the Historic Resources section of the Comprehensive Plan. The church is listed in the Registered Historic Properties as a Virginia Landmark and it is on the National Register of Historic Places, The following description was provided by the Department of Historic Resources: Emmanuel Episcopal PC Report Page 3 Emmanuel Episcopal Church is an outstanding example of Colonial Revival Ecclesiastical architecture in Albemarle County. Since its founding in the mid-19th century, the church has been associated with prominent county citizens, most notably the Langhorne family who lived at nearby Mirador. Nancy Langhorne, later Lady Astor, became involved with the congregation's mission work in the early 20th century and in 1911, along with her brothers and sisters, commissioned Waddy Wood to renovate the original one-room church. Wood, a popular Washington architect, was well known in Albemarle where he spent his childhood and later designed fine houses in the Ivy and Cobham areas. His work at Emmanuel Church exhibits the refinement and excellent craftsmanship associated with the best of early Colonial Revival buildings. In 1905, a bell tower was added and the front entrance was renovated. Between 1911 and 1914, the interior was renovated and a larger bell tower, arcade, and parish house were added, all according to the designs of architect Waddy Wood. Kristin Kirchen of the Department of Historic Resources has reviewed the plans and states that "the proposed project should have no detrimental impact on the historic character of the church." Ms. Kirchen's letter is attached as reference (Attachment B). The site is also located on the Route 250 West Entrance Corridor. However, as the new building will not be visible from the Entrance Corridor, it is not subject to review by the Architectural Review Board. Because of its historic importance, a condition of approval has been offered that would require review and approval of the architecture and materials by the Planning Director or designee (Condition 15). STAFF COMMENT: Staff addresses each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance: 31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits providedfor in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, The proposed building, located to the rear of the existing church sanctuary, has been positioned to reduce impact on the existing buildings and to lessen its impact on critical slopes. Most of the existing landscaping and trees will remain in order to maintain the historical landscape of this site. No clearing of the existing wooded area between Stockton Creek and the proposed building has been proposed. The wooded area will help to lessen the impact of the building from view of the property to the rear (closest to the proposed building and currently an agricultural field). The existing sanctuary, double Emmanuel Episcopal PC Report Page 4 . . . arcade and fellowship building, as well as the topology would screen the proposed building from Route 250. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and In response to staff s concerns regarding the scale and exposure of the proposed building and parking arrangement, as well as the potential loss of some mature trees, the applicant was been able to site the building and most of the parking in a way that both reduces its impact from Route 250 and lessens the impact of the modern development on this historic property. However, two parking areas would be visible from Route 250: at the edge of the cemetery and in front of the religious education building. that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, Section 18, Chapter 10 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the purpose of Rural Areas zoning: "This district (hereafter referred to as RA) is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning map for the following purposes: -Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities; - Water supply protection; -Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and -Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources." Over the life of this church there have been changes that have reshaped both the site and the architecture to reflect the needs of the congregation. The applicant has been able to locate the proposed changes in a way that is sensitive to the character and history of this important resource, while addressing the needs of the current congregation. with uses permitted by right in the district, The proposed addition and parking arrangement would not affect the uses permitted by right in the RA District. with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance, There are no additional regulations in section 5.0 of the ordinance that governs churches, and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The applicant has advised that parking along the access driveway and Route 250 creates an unsafe condition and is the primary reason the church desires to reconfigure the parking. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has already commented that they will require, at a minimum, that the entrance to the site have alSO foot turn lane and a 100 foot taper with a 35 foot radius. The County Emmanuel Episcopal PC Report Page 5 Engineer also believes that a left turn lane will be needed on Route 250, since Route 250 is a major arterial high-speed highway with increasing traffic volumes. A copy of the County Engineer's Commentary on Turn Lanes is attached (Attachment C). The VDOT reviewer has concurred with the County Engineer to assure that adequate safety measures are required. However, if the applicant does not want to construct these safety improvements, a warrant analysis should be performed using projected traffic at build-out to establish minimum requirements. These issues will be reviewed with the site plan, therefore the condition approved with SP 1999- 48 pertaining to VDOT approval of the entrance (Condition 2) has been removed. Waivers: The applicant has requested the following waiver: Zoning Ordinance 4.2 Critical Slopes: disturbance of approximately 2,000 square feet (Attachment D). Review Comments: The County Engineer has determined that the placement of erosion and sediment control construction will necessitate additional disturbances, as shown in Attachment E. The County Engineer has not offered any concerns which prohibit the disturbance of slopes, as shown, and did not recommend any conditions. 4.2 CRITICAL SLOPES These provisions are created to implement the comprehensive plan by protecting and conserving steep hillsides together with public drinking water supplies and flood plain areas and in recognition of increased potential for soil erosion, sedimentation, water pollution and septic disposal problems associated with the development of those areas described in the comprehensive plan as critical slopes. It is hereby recognized that such development of critical slopes may result in: rapid and/or large-scale movement of soil and rock; excessive stormwater run-off; siltation of natural and man-made bodies of water; loss of aesthetic resource; and in the event of septic system failure, a greater travel distance of septic effluent, all of which constitute potential dangers to the public health, safety andlor welfare, These provisions are intended to direct building and septic system locations to terrain more suitable to development and to discourage development on critical slopes, and to supplement other regulations regarding protection of public water supplies and encroachment of development into flood plains. (Amended 11-15- 89) Where modification ofregulations is sought pursuant to section 4.2.5, such request shall address each concern specified in section 4.2. (Added 11-15-89) The applicant has relocated the proposed building and has reduced its size from the original application concept plan to avoid critical slopes as much as Emmanuel Episcopal PC Report Page 6 . . . possible. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve a waiver from Section 4.2 Critical Slopes. The applicant has also requested approval of waivers regarding parking lot standards. These waivers will be considered with the site plan application, as they can be granted administratively by the County Engineer and Zoning Administrator. SUMMARY: Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application: 1. The location of the proposed building is sensitive to the historic surroundings and is supported by the Department of Historic Resources. 2. The reconfigured parking would provide appropriate areas for parking which avoids destruction of some mature trees, considers the historic character of the site, and provides safe parking for the congregation. 3. No changes to the historic buildings on this site. Staff has identified the following factors unfavorable to this application: 1. Some mature trees will be removed in order to accommodate the parking areas. 2. Some parking areas will be closer to Route 250 (in front of the cemetery and the education building) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Based on the findings contained in this staff report, staff recommends approval of SP 2007-27 Emmanuel Episcopal Church, subject to the following conditions. Changes from the conditions approved with the previous application SP 1999-48 (conditions 1-6) are shown with strikethroughs and underlines. Conditions 7-15 are new with SP 2007-27. 1. There shall be no day care center or private school on site without a separate special use permit. 2.

Based on the review of information provided. the plan appears to be sensitive to the historic setting oithe church and preserves the view of the church from Route 250, By locating the parking behind the church and taking advantage of the lower topography to the sou1h and east, the visibility of 1;1 majority of the cars will be limited as much as possible, thereby preserving the integrity of the church's setting and the historic vista from Route 250. AB proposed, the proposed project should have no detrimental impact on the historic character of the church. Thank you for taking these factors into consideration at the planning stage.

County of Albemarle Department of Community Development County Engineer's Commentary Number 1:, Turn Lanes 30 N ov 2007 Question: Why is the county engineer recommending turn lanes when VDOT says they are not warranted? Background: Turn lane improvements to public roadways have become a topic on recent rezoning and special use permit applications, Applicants have pointed out a perceived conflict when they receive a recommendation from the county engineer to provide turn lanes, and comments from VDOT which say turn lanes are not necessary, This discussion deals primarily with undivided two lane roadways, such as Rio Road into town, Rt. 250 in many areas, Rt. 53, Rt. 20, etc, Commentary: Turn lanes are requested by VDOT strictly when warranted based on traffic volumes. This is both the number of cars on the road, and the number of cars turning at the entrance or intersection, VDOT allows for judgment to be used where "other factors are present", such as poor visibility or a history of accidents, In practice, VDOT does not consider other factors unless prompted, usually by the public or a locality, VDOT's perspective is typically that of a government agency drawing a line, or a standard, at which point public funds are justifiably spent on road improvements, Levels of service on the roadway, and safety, are compromised until they are low enough that the thresholds (which they call warrants) are exceeded, and the expenditure of funds is justified, These same standards are applied to private parties when requiring improvements, The county can have a different perspective with discretionary actions like rezonings and special use permit requests, This is where the county engineer's recommendations are considered, There are a number of reasons for a different perspective; (1) The county can plan for a foreseeable future beyond the development's build-out year, when the turn lanes will be necessary (2) The county can request improvements based on a desire to preserve existing levels of service, Every development and new entrance incrementally increases delays and lowers levels of service, Providing turn lanes attempts to mitigate this impact. (3) Turn lanes can be used to incrementally improve public infrastructure, both by acquiring right-of-way, and building improvements to widen roads, (4) The county can request improvements to preserve existing safety levels, In other words, try to prevent accidents, rather than waiting for a number of accidents to }<?' justify improvements, or relying solely on volume and capacity, ATTACHMENT C . . . Albemarle County Community Development County Engineer's Commentary # 1 Page 2 of2 It is important to remember that any development on these busy two-lane roads incrementally increases delays, congestion, and safety hazards, Providing turn lanes does not change this, It only makes it less severe, Turn lanes improve safety substantially, especially left turn lanes. And on the county's busier roads, specifically where we know congestion, or high travel speeds, or steep grades, or heavy trucks are issues, improving safety and preserving capacity should be primary goals, Lastly, unlike other road improvements, in most cases turn lanes have no detrimental affects. As an example, placing signals protects turning movements, but has the downside of delaying through-traffic, and potentially increasing some types of accidents, like rear-end collisions, Turn lanes improve safety and preserve through-movements, without any downside, References: The VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix C (pages C-6+ for left turn lanes, and pages C-30+ for right turn lanes) provides the volume warrant tables and graphs for turn lanes, These consider volume warrants alone, with brief statements to use engineering judgment where these warrants are not met, and other factors are present. Other factors mentioned are; accident records, poor visibility, availability of right-of-way, angle ofturn, and grades, The volume warrants come from AASHTO in the case of left turn lanes (pages 682-685), and a Virginia Highway Research Council 1981 report in the case of right turn lanes, VDOT also references the Highway Capacity Manual for more detailed study of site conditions, Site entrances are analyzed as unsignalized T -type intersections, The highway capacity manual uses a critical gap analysis, with D levels of service starting at 25 s/veh, An interesting rule of thumb in traffic engineering is that every driveway or site entrance along a free-flowing roadway segment decreases the travel speed by l;4 mph, and spacing ofless than 300' increases the accident potential. (Dane Ismart of McTrans Center, University of Florida) AASHTO states, "Ideally, left-turn lanes should be provided at driveways and street intersections along major arterial and collector roads wherever left turns are permitted", The provision of left-turn lanes has been found to reduce crash rates anywhere from 20 to 65 percent," (p,682) Jq LPDA January 14, 2008 Ms. Joan McDowell Community Development 401 McIntire Road North Wmg Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: Enunanuel Episcopal Church SP 2007-027 - Oitical Slopes Waiver Dear Joan: TIlls letter is to fonnally request a waiver for the development of critical slopes. We are proposing to disturb approximately 2,000 sf, of critical slopes at Enunanuel Episcopal Church in order to grade for the new structure, Section 4.2 states "Where modification of regulations is sought pwsuant to section 4.2.5, such request shall address each concern specified in section 4.2," The concerns addressed in Section 4,2 are: rapid and! or large-scale movement of soil and rock; excessive storm water run-off; siltation of natural and man- made bodies of water; loss of aesthetic resource; and in the event of septic system failure, a greater travel distance of septic effluent The disturbance of critical slopes proposed will not have an effect on the health, safety or welfare of the public. The disturbance created by the grading of critical slopes: 1. Does not create rapid and! or large-scale movement of soil and rock The area is limited to a relatively small area and is contained to fill. Large scale disturbance is not planned. 2. Does not create excessive storm water run-off. The area is currently steeply planted and will remain so after disturbance, Therefore, there is no substantial increase in run-off. 3, Will not cause increased siltation of natural and man-made bodies of water, The plans will follow all applicable Virginia Storm Water Management Regulations, and the disturbed area will be seeded and planted when complete causing no increase in siltation, 4, Will not result in a loss of an aesthetic resource, In fact, it will enhance the area by allowing us to preserve the views of the historic church from the entrance corridor, 5, Will not cause event of septic system failure, as the area to be disturbed is not in the path of septic drainage. Section 4.2.5 states that the requirement of section 4,2 may be modified or waived in an individual case and states specific cases, Subsection 4.2.5,b.3 applies to this project 4.2.5.b.3 Granting such modification or waiver would serve a public purpose of greater import than would be served by strict application of section 4.2, In order for the new structure to be (1) minimallyvisible from the entrance corridor, (2) be in close proximity to the sanctuary, (3) maintain the visual character of the site, the best location for this structure was determined to be behind the existing sanctuary. The church desires to have the new fellowship hall on axis with the courtyard centered on the colonnade in following the historic precedence.

LPDA Page 2 in the best interest of the entire community, given the National Historic Registrar status to keep the development orderly. The location is also best for the entrnnce corridor, As stated above, the disturbance of critical slopes on this project does not create an impact on the health, safety or welfare of the public, Furthermore, the benefit gained by the public of the placement of the new structure outweighs the impact of the relatively small disturbance of critical slopes proposed, In short, this location benefits the public interest, without endangering their health safety or welfare, Sincerely, IJJ~ Mark Lieberth, ALSA, LEED AP Associate, Land Planning and Design ~I To: From: Date: Subject: County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum Joan McDowell, Principle Planner Glenn Brooks, County Engineer 7 Jan 2008 Emmanuel Episcopal (SP200700027) critical slope waiver request The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed, The engineering analysis of the request follows: Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance: The primary areas are wooded slopes leading down to Stockton Creek's buffer and floodplain, (There is a minor area of critical slopes to be disturbed in the entrance on Rt. 250.)

Julia Monteith, AICP, non-voting representative for the University of Virginia was absent. Other officials present were Bill Fritz, Chief of Current Development; Tamara Ambler, Natural Resource Manager; Joan McDowell, Principal Planner; Gerald Gatobu, Senior Planner; Glenn Brooks, County Engineer; Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning and Greg Kamptner, Deputy County Attorney, Call to Order and Establish Quorum: Mr. Morris called the regular meeting to order at 6:02 p.m, and established a quorum, Old Business Mr, Morris asked if there was any old business, SP-2008-00027 Emmanuel Episcopal Church - Waiver for disturbance of critical slopes (Joan McDowell) Mr. Morris noted that last week the Planning Commission did not look at the waiver for disturbance for critical slopes on this request. Ms. McDowell said that this is a housekeeping item concerning a critical slopes waiver request that was not acted on last week. The County Engineer is present to answer any questions, This is concerning where one of the new buildings is being proposed to the rear of the property, There is quite a lot of critical slope in the shaded area around the building and to the rear of the property, In the County Engineer's review it was determined that it might be a little more critical slope disturbance than the applicant had originally proposed, but the recommendation was still for approval. Mr. Cannon asked the amount of critical slope disturbance, Ms, McDowell replied that the applicant had asked for a disturbance of no more than 2,000 square feet. But, it was determined that there might be an addition to that. Mr, Brooks said that it was about 1/3 to % an acre of disturbance, There are basically 3 dips in the topography and each of those areas would have a sediment trap built into it. Each one of those areas would be disturbed for a portion, Ms, Joseph asked if that is not exempt from erosion and sediment control, and Mr, Brooks replied that is a call that they have to make as staff. When there is room to revise the site layout and an approach where they don't have to do that staff brings it to the Commission because it is not avoidable and there are alternatives. Ms. McDowell added that the applicant did change the location of the structure at staff's request. So this avoided as much critical slopes as they could and get the same size building. Mr, Cannon asked what does avoidable mean, ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 26, 2008 DRAFT MINUTES - SUBMITTED TO PC Mr. Brooks said that means that they would have to scale back the development or move it all over to the right side behind the existing house, It would involve similar layout of the property or they would put the building on the street side instead of the critical slopes side of the lot. But, he was just throwing out ideas. Mr. Cannon noted that there might be up sides and down sides to those alternatives as well. Mr. Brooks agreed noting that staff does not feel comfortable deciding that and leaves it up to the Commission, Ms, Joseph asked if with appropriate erosion and sediment control measures is this something that he could support, and Mr. Brooks replied yes. Mr. Morris noted that the applicant was not present. There being no further discussion, he asked for a motion, Action on Critical Slopes Waiver: Motion: Mr, Loach moved, Mr. Edgerton seconded to approve the waiver of Section 4.2 for critical slopes with regards to SP-2008-00027, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, The motion passed by a vote of 6:0, (Mr. Strucko was absent.) Mr. Morris said that the critical slopes waiver for SP-2008-00027, Emmanuel Episcopal Church was approved, ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 26, 2008 DRAFT MINUTES - SUBMITTED TO PC 2 ,.

Dear Supervisors: There are many references within the Crozet Master Plan that discuss the Neighborhood Model, a section of the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan as a basis for modeling development within Crozet. Paragraph B from Strategies for Implementation on page 23 of the Crozet Master Plan identifies the Place-Type Map and Design Guidelines as the basis to "illustrate the relationships between these mixed use centers and districts, and the proposed hamlets, neighborhoods and Downtown", On page 31 of the Crozet Master Plan the production of "Distinctive Place Types" is discussed. Paragraph A, "Framework for Creating Distinctive Places within Crozet" a part of Section III; "Process and Form of Development" further identifies the relationship between the Crozet Master Plan and the Neighborhood Model. The earlier iterations of the Patterson ZMA expressly attempted to contribute to the neighborhoods "sense of place" through the integration of a multi-functional active recreation facility, a park, that also served as a bio-filter, environmental and aesthetic component of the development. This concept is supported in the "Neighborhood Model Standards" page 46 of the Master Plan, Please note that the hierarchy of Place Types is clearly distinguished and separate from what is later referred to as "Fringe Areas". The Patterson property is designated, in its majority, as CT -3 and is not a fringe area, Please see pages 31 and 32 of the Crozet Master Plan and the Crozet Master Plan Place-Type and Built Infrastructure Map. "The Built Environment: Transect Applied to Place-Type" on page 48 the Master Plan identifies the CT designations and how they relate to site development guidelines, In a Hamlet CT-3 is described as "Urban Edge: supports center with predominantly residential uses, The Neighborhood Model within the Albemarle Comprehensive Plan, page 111 articulates some aspects of the growth area boundaries with the rural areas, This is the twelfth Principle of the Neighborhood Model. "12, Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas ''''''''&';''11' ' ....3OJ r-., '-"V'\,) 'VICe: I It "\,,0 Date: 'J'1'og ::~,::~ :~~ -I'" The Development Area boundaries are the places where the Development Areas meet the Rural Areas, It is anticipated that, in most circumstances, development in the growth areas will extend to the boundary so that the full potential of the Development Areas can be achieved, A "blended edge" that is so frequently associated with sprawl is discouraged, " The references above support the plan of development for ZMA 2007-00011. The density is at the lower end of the recommended level of 3,5 to 4.5 dwelling units per acre, Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive public comment at their meeting on March 19, 2008.

A second Planning Commission public hearing was held January 22, 2008, Staff recommended approval at that time, since it appeared the applicant had addressed outstanding concerns of the Commission in its October 16 recommendation for denial. However, the Commission recommended denial based on the following outstanding uses: o Density-The proposed density was not appropriate, based on the Crozet Master Plan's recommendations for the edge areas of the Crozet Development Area, o Traffic Impacts- Concern about adding additional traffic to Lanetown Road and Lanetown Way. o Other Commission comments-Some Commissioners believed the applicant should have had the opportunity to defer Commission action to address the items of concern to the Commission. In discussion, some agreed that the proposal should meet the 10,000 square foot average lot size recommendation of the Crozet Master Plan CT3 Hamlet land use designation, thereby reducing the overall density of the project, that the biofilter/greenspace area adjacent to Lanetown Way should be increased, and that new streets to serve the proposed development should include sidewalks, DISCUSSION: The applicant submitted a revised concept plan and signed proffers, including reduced residential density and increasing the average size of residential lots, on February 19, 2008, Minor technical changes had been requested by staff and were made to the proffers so they are legally acceptable, (See Attachment I-Proffers and Attachment II-Proffered Concept Plan) The following addresses substantive issues discussed at the Planning Commission's last public hearing. Density Concept Plan The applicant's property is designated on the Crozet Master Plan (CMP) Place-Type & Built Infrastructure maps as CT 3 within a Hamlet. The CMP recommends a maximum net density of up to 4,5 units per acre in Hamlets and does not recommend the provision of up to 6.5 units per acre if accessory apartments added for 50% of the residential stock, ZMA 2007-011 Patterson Subdivision BOS March 17, 2008 The property is located on the edge of the Crozet Development Area, but the property is designated CT3 (yellow) with the exception of a very small green strip of cn designated along Lanetown Road. (See inset to the right) The CMP also recommends a 10,000 square foot average lot size for Hamlets, The CMP, on page 32, under Fringe Areas, indicates that most of the periphery of the Development Areas is recommended for the lowest density of development, consistent with the Rural Area designation in the Comprehensive Plan, This text is referring to the CT 1 and CT 2 designations (green and gray land uses colors) and the Patterson property is predominantly CT3, Staffs analysis has determined that the project's currently proposed density falls within the guidelines of the Crozet Master Plan for the CT3 Edge designation within the Hamlet Place Type: Patterson Subdivision Patterson Subdivision Crozet Master Plan Patterson Subdivision Crozet Transect Densi Net Acres Acres Min Max Units Net Densi CT 3 Min 3,5 Max 4,5 3.521 2,82 10 13 10 3.55 Notes: Net acreage is 80% project area, Minimum, Mid, and Maximum Crozet Master Plan Suggested Units are determined by multiplying the CT 3 suggested densities for each CT type, For example, CT 3 Max is equal to 2,82 x 4,5, which equals 13 units, CT 1 and CT 2 areas, show no density, Crozet Master Plan anticipates very low density at 1 unit per 20 acres. The applicant's revised proposal limits the number of residential units to 1 a, with up to two being single family attached and the balance single family detached, The proffered concept plan now provided has been revised from the plan reviewed by the Commission to reduce the number of lots from 12 to 10. (See Attachment II) The applicant's proposal now specifies that 8 lots shall be a minimum of 10,000 square feet in size and that two lots will be no less than 9,000 square feet. This results in an average lot size of 10,000 square feet for the total area in lots, The Grayrock Homeowners Association continues to express concerns and their comments are provided as Attachment III. All other features of the concept plan have remained unchanged. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the applicant provide curb, gutter, a planting strip, and sidewalks for all new streets. The applicant is not seeking an alternative design at this time, and any request for variation from these requirements would be subject to Commission approval at the time of subdivision, ZMA 2007-011 Patterson Subdivision BOS March 17, 2008 2 RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff had recommended approval of the rezoning since it appeared outstanding concerns of the Commission had been addressed, However, the Planning Commission has recommended denial of this rezoning as noted in the Background section of this Executive Summary, The applicant has addressed outstanding issues cited by the Commission in its recommendation for denial. However, the proposal has not been modified to the extent that it provides an edge area density for the entire property as cited by the Commissioners who voted to recommend denial of this rezoning, Should the Board find that this rezoning is approvable as currently proposed, staff recommends approval be inclusive of the proffers dated February 19, 2008 and signed March 13, 2008, which include the proffered concept plan, (Attachment I-Proffers and Attachment II-Proffered Concept Plan) ATTACHMENTS: I.

PO Box 245 Crozet · Virginia" 22932 March 11,2008 Rebecca Ragsdale, Lead Planner Department of Planning & Community Development 401 McIntire Rd. Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 ... .. "_....._..__.........._.__...____.,._._............__.__.__._ .._ n. ."._......_.........._.".. Subject: Patterson Subdivision (ZMA2007011) Dear Ms Ragsdale: The Grayrock HOA has reviewed the latest revision to the subject proposal and requests that this letter be part of the read-ahead staffing package that is prepared for the Board of Supervisors (BOS) public hearing, . The Grayrock HOA continues to have concerns over the proposal as it exists before the BOS, While the applicant has reduced the number of dwellings from 12 to 10 since the Planning Commission (PC) hearing, we remain convinced that the proposed development still lacks consistency with the surrounding neighborhood and that safety/traffic concerns have not been adequately addressed, The proposed development calls for zoning and lot size that is not in concert with either Grayrock or the more rural setting to the West of the property. Based on the applicant's concept plan, the average lot size under this rezoning would be approximately 10,000 sf. By comparison, the 26 homes in Grayrock North average a lot size of 12,371 sf. The Patterson development as proposed would be a pocket of greater density in an area that otherwise serves as a transition from residential (R-4) zoning to the much more rural feel ofR-l zoning, The Grayrock HOA would prefer to see this parcel ofIand rezoned to nothing more dense than R-4, and that development site plans observe an average lot size consistent with Grayrock North, As vehicular access to the proposed development will be exclusively through Grayrock North, we remain deeply concerned by the prospect of an undefined increase in traffic on , Lanetown Way. Lanetown Way was built as a rural section of street (18' wide, no sidewalks), As such, it is used for pedestrian traffic and as play space fOf the neighborhoods 40+ children, As proposed, the development would add 10 new residences using Lanetown Way as their only access route, The 'interconnectivity spur' in the concept plan, could be the conduit for future additional traffic on Lanetown Way, We . , ,.. '- view the possibility of any traffic increase as very concerning for the safety of our children and the many pedestrians that enjoy walking and running throughout Grayrock and ask that it only be allowed ifthere is no other solution possible, The Grayrock HOA would like to see the applicant seriously investigate the possibility of accessing the parcel from Lanetown Rd, We note that the existing driveway the Patterson property is the same distance from Lanetown Way as Lanetown Way is from the next adjacent street connecting to Lanetown Rd (Orchard Dr). It would appear that minimum distance/sight line requirements could be met for access to the Patterson property from Lanetown Rd if the access were offset from center. If access from Lanetown Rd is absolutely not possible, we'd like to ask that the 'interconnectivity spur' be removed from the plan to limit the likelihood of future additional traffic on Lanetown Way. r While the Grayrock HOA acknowledges that the concept plan has moved in a positive direction when compared to what we originally saw in October 2007, we still feel that the proposed development is inconsistent with the surrounding area and that safety concerns for children and pedestrians on Lanetown Way have not been sufficiently addressed, The Grayrock HOA is not opposed to any development of the subject property however, we are opposed to the plan as proposed, The Grayrock HOA will have a representative at the BOS meeting and will be prepared to answer any questions from the BOS or Community Development staff.

STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS REBECCA RAGSDALE January 22, 2008 March 12, 2008 ZMA 07-12 PATTERSON SUBDIVISION PETITION PROJECT: ZMA 2007 - 00011 Patterson Subdivision PROPOSAL: Rezone 3.52 acres from R1 - Residential (1 uniUacre) to R6 - Residential (6 units/acre) to allow for up to 12 dwelling units, PROFFERS: Yes EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USEIDENSITY: Community of Crozet; CT-3 Urban Edge: single family residential (net 3,5-6,5 units/acre) supporting uses such as religious institutions and schools and other small-scale non-residential uses ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: No LOCATION: Between Lanetown Road and Lanetown Way approximately 400 yards from the intersection of Mint Springs Road, Lanetown Road, and Railroad Avenue, TAX MAP/PARCEL: Tax Map 55, Parcel 63 MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: White Hall BACKGROUND: 10/16/07 Planning Commission Public Hearing A public hearing was held on this rezoning at the Planning Commission on October 16, 2007 and the Commission supported staff's recommendation for denial of the rezoning and accompanying waivers of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street tree requirements, This motion for deni~1 included a number of outstanding issues, which will be addressed later in the report. 12/12/07 Board of Supervisors This item was scheduled for a public hearing at the December 12, 2008 Board of Supervisors meeting. The applicant submitted a revised concept plan and proffers for this Board hearing following the Commission public hearing on November 9,2007. However, based on staff's recommendation, and subsequently the request of the applicant, the rezoning was referred back to the Planning Commission, This staff report reflects review of the applicant's revised plan and proffers submitted prior to the Board hearing, CHARACTER OF THE AREA The property is 3,521 acres in size, with an existing house that dates to 1900, and is zoned R1 Residential. Properties adjacent to the north and west are zoned R1 and are low density residential, similar in character to the Patterson property, To the south and east of the property is the Grayrock north subdivision, which is zoned PRO and developed as single family homes on an average lot size of % acre, approximately 4 dwelling units per acre, (Attachment A-Zoning and Attachment B-Aerial Map) BY-RIGHT USE OF THE PROPERTY The current zoning of the property is R1 Residential. R1 zoning allows a density of 0,97 units per acre and minimum lot sizes of 45,000 square feet. Through clustering and bonus density provisions, R1 zoning allows a density of 1.45 units per acre and minimum lot sizes 2 . . . of 20,000 square, Since the property is 3.521 acres in size, up to 5 dwelling units may be possible if criteria were met for clustering/bonus provisions, SPECIFICS OF PROPOSAL On November 9, 2007, the applicant submitted a revised concept plan, including reduced residential density, and revised proffers, The concept plan proposes 12 residential lots, served by a public street off Lanetown Way that would end in a cul-de-sac and a future interconnection to the west. The revised concept plan includes elimination of the open space dedication to the County, provides for an interconnection to the properties to the west, and demonstrates workable stormwater management concepts, However, while the applicant has proffered limitations on the number of residential units, the applicant has not proffered the concept plan. The applicant no longer proposes waivers to the Subdivision Ordinance of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and planting strip requirements and intends to provide those features on both sides of the new streets within the proposed development. Concept Plan The concept plan submitted was revised from the plan reviewed by the Commission and includes some additional detail.

Density The applicant had originally proposed up to 14 residential units, which included 10 single family detached units and 4 single family attached (townhouse) units, The staff report provided to the Planning Commission for the October 16, 2007 public hearing mistakenly identified the applicant's property as being designated CT 3 in a Neighborhood on the Crozet Master Plan (CMP) Place-Type & Built Infrastructure map, However, the property is designated CT3 within a Hamlet, The CMP recommends a maximum net density of up to 4,5 units per acre in Hamlets and does not recommend the provision of up to 6,5 units per acre if accessory apartments added for 50% of the residential stock, The applicant's revised proposal limits the number of residential units to 12 with up to four being single family attached and the balance single family detached, The proposed density lMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision Planning Commissior 1/22/08 Board of Supervisors 3/1L/OS 4 . falls within the guidelines of the Crozet Master Plan for the CT3 Edge designation within the Hamlet Place Type: Crozet Patterson Patterson Subdivision Master Plan Subdivision I Acres Net Crozet Transect Density Acres Min Max Units Net Density CT 3 (Min 3,5, Max 4,5) 3,521 2,82 10 13 12 4,26 Notes: Net acreage is 80% project area, Minimum and Maximum Crozet Master Plan Suggested Units are determined by multiplying the CT 3 suggested densities for each CT type, For example, CT 3 Max is equal to 2.82 x 4,5, which equals 13 units. The CMP also recommends a 10,000 square foot average lot size for Hamlets, The applicant's proposal includes a range of lot sizes from 7,699 to 10,515 square feet in size with an average lot size of 8,839 square feet. The area in lot development and the average lot size has resulted from the provision of the two separate bio-filter areas to provide on-site stormwater management. Lot size has been a concern of the adjoining neighborhood Grayrock, The Grayrock Homeowners Association has expressed their concerns in the attached letter, (Attachment G) If biofilters were placed on individual lots, this could result in average lot sizes of 10,000 square feet or more per lot; however, it is preferable to have stormwater management facilities such as biofilters outside of lots, . The Green Infrastructure map in the Master Plan reflects open space resources and shows proposed greenways behind neighborhoods, along the ponds in Gray Rock and to Lanetown Road, The intent is to provide access for these neighborhoods to Downtown and other park destinations, (See inset below,) . ,/ .~.

ZMA 07-11 Patterson Subdivision Planning Commission 1/22/08 board of Supervisors 3/17./08 5 not propose a recreation area/park of approximately 0,80 acres adjacent to Lanetown Road, which was originally proposed but not supported by County Parks and Recreation, Neighborhood Model The Neighborhood Model describes the more "urban" form of development desired for the Development Areas, The following is an assessment of this proposal's consistency with the Neighborhood Model's 12 principles: Pedestrian Orientation Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks Parks and Open Space Neighborhood Centers Building and Spaces of Human Scale Mixture of Uses Relegated Parking The applicant is now proposes to meet ordinance requirements and all new streets within the development will have 5' sidewalks on both sides of the street. This rinci Ie is met. New projects within the Development Areas are expected to have curb, gutter, sidewalk, and planting strips as features of streets servicing new development and this is a requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant is providing these features so this rinci Ie will be met. VDOT recommends that only one entrance be provided to this relatively small property through Lanetown Way, through Gray Rock North and that there be no access through the property to Lanetown Road because of driveway spacing issues on that road, (Attachment E) The revised concept plan now also shows an interconnection to the ad' oinin ro erties to the west. This rinci Ie is met. The applicant is proposing conventional lots and there are no recreation requirements in the ordinance based on the number of units proposed, Future greenway trails, eventually planned to connect this part of Crozet to Mint Springs park, which is about a mile from the site, are located near this property, which is the closest park to this property, Future Western Park will be located within Old Trail and is also about a mile from the ro'ect site, This rinci les is met. Downtown Crozet and Old Trail, with its proposed center, appear to be the closest nei hborhood centers, This rinci Ie is met. The applicant is proposing a residential development under R-6 zoning, which allows a maximum building height of 35 feet and front setbacks of 25', Typically, shallower setbacks are more in keeping with the Neighborhood Model. Street trees and sidewalks provide a reater sense of enclosure and will be rovided, This rinci Ie is met. Given the Crozet Master Plan designation of CT3, non-residential uses are not ex ected on this ro ert . This rinci Ie is met. The applicant's concept plan does not demonstrate how parking will be provided and whether garages would be associated with the single family units. There is no information for staff to comment on whether this rinci Ie will be met. 6 j . Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability Redevelopment Site Planning that Respects Terrain Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas The applicant is proposing 12 residential units and has proffered to meet the Affordable Housing Policy. (Attachment D) According to the policy, the applicant is expected to provide 15% of the total number of units as affordable, which is 1,8 units in this proposal. The applicant has proffered to provide either 2 affordable units, or one affordable unit and cash-in-lieu for 0,8 unit. This has been reviewed by the Housin Director and is acce table. This rinci Ie is met. The property is redeveloping from rural residential to density in keeping with the Crozet Master Plan and the existing house will be demolished and it has not been identified as a significant historic resource. This rinci Ie is met. The site is relatively flat and topography is shown on the aerial exhibit submitted by the applicant. (Attachment B) No conceptual grading has been provided, There is no information for staff to comment on this rinci Ie; however, it a ears this rinci Ie could be met. Lanetown Road delineates the edge of the Rural Areas/Crozet Development Area. This principle is met. Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zoning district The applicant has requested a rezoning to R6 Residential and the intent of that district in the Ordinance and lot and setback requirements are provided here: . This district (hereafter referred to as R-6) is to provide a plan implementation zone that: -Provides for compact, medium-density residential development; (Amended 9-9-92) - Permits a variety of housing types; and -Provides incentives for clustering of development and provision oflocational, environmental and developmental amenities. R-6 districts may be permitted within community and urban area locations recommended for medium-density residential use in the comprehensive plan, (Amended 9-9-92) 16.3 ARIA .-\..";0 BULK RIGI.1ATIOl\'S .;P,~A .~iD 3UIK REGU:AT:C~8 REQT,;I REI1E:n,S Gress density ~-1inimum Lot Size ,STANDARD :'EVE:' :ONVEN~ICNAL::.r.;S~ER DEVE:'OFl1ENI DEVELO?HE:rr 6 dUiaC1'e 6 dn,'acre (Added -;>-17 -85) 7,160 s it )>A BCl;:!

However, both districts allow . Z~/]A 07-11 Patterson Subdivision Planning Commission 1/22/08 Board of Supervisors 3/12/08 7 attached units, The applicant is proposing a gross density of 3.4 dwelling units per acre but would like flexibility in lot size so is requesting R6 Zoning, which allows a minimum of 4,840 square feet with bonus/clustering provision, However, regardless of the zoning district proposed, the applicant has proffered a maximum of 12 units on the property, which limits density, Considering the particulars of this property, staff believes R-6 Zoning is acceptable and the applicant's proposal meets the intent of that zoning district. As the applicant is proffering to limit the number of units to 12, it is assured that density will not exceed what could be achieved under R4 Zoning, Staff believes that the size, configuration of the parcel, and number of units makes it unlikely that any other plan could be created, except one with fewer units, Anticipated impact on public facilities and services Environmental & Stormwater Manaaement- There are no environmental resources on this property that would be impacted by the proposed development. The County Engineer has reviewed the revised concept plan and indicates the open space areas for stormwater management appear to be adequate to meet the ordinance requirements, This site drains to Lickinghole Basin, and a pro- rated fee will be assessed for the site's water quality, Water quality BMP's provided on the concept plan appear to be more than required by ordinance, Streets - The property has access to both Lanetown Road and Lanetown Way, through Gray Rock North, VDOT recommends that only the connection to Lanetown Way be made because the proposed connection to route 684 is less that 200 feet from the closest intersection and that is not a desirable situation, The revised concept plan now provides for an interconnection to the adjoining property to the west. No interconnection to Lanetown Road is provided, in keeping with VDOT's recommendations, Schools - Students from this development, which would be expected to generate about 6 students, would impact Crozet area schools and likely attend Crozet Elementary School, Henley Middle School and Western Albemarle High School. Cash impacts are intended to provide for impacts to schools. Fire. Rescue. Police - The Crozet Volunteer Fire Station and the Western Albemarle Rescue Station provide fire and rescue services to the area, The planned Ivy Area Station will also augment services provide by the two existing fire and rescue stations Crozet. The service objective of the Community Facilities Plan is to achieve an average response time (how long it takes once the call is dispatched from ECC until a fire apparatus arrives on scene) to fire emergency calls of five minutes or less in the Development Areas and an average response time to rescue emergency calls of four minutes or less in the Development Areas, Albemarle County Fifth Street Office Building contains the County's Police Department, although police patrol all areas of the County, The service objective of the Community Facilities Plan is to achieve an average response time of five minutes or less to all emergency calls 85 percent of the time in the designated Development Areas, This achieved through their sector/beat system, Police satellite offices are recommended within a service sector to help achieve these desired response times to all police emergency calls and there is a small police office located within The Meadows 8 ~niI5C' . . . Community Building, although not staffed at all times, The possibility of an additional fire/rescue/police station is under consideration for the area in 2012. Utilities - This property is in the Albemarle County Service Authority's jurisdictional area for water and sewer service. There is an 8 inch water in Lanetown Way approximately 25' from the property, Fire flow from the nearest public hydrant, located 30' away is 3,030 gpm +/- at 20 psi residual. An 8 inch sewer line is located approximately 135' distant. Offsite sewer plans and easements will be required. Anticipated impact on cultural and historic resources Existing structures on the property would be demolished with this proposal and the existing structure on the property has not been determined significant. Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties Neighbors within the adjoining Grayrock North development have expressed concerns about this proposal changing the character of the area and also about Lanetown Way serving as access to it. In the Development Areas, however, development is expected and this property is designated CT3 in the Crozet Master Plan, Public need and justification for the change The change in zoning is consistent with the CT3 designation of the Land Use Plan and would provide for residential capacity in a Development Area, SUMMARY The applicant has attempted to address outstanding issues that led to the Commission's recommendation for denial of the rezoning at the October 16, 2007 Public Hearing. Each issue is noted below with staff comments on how the applicant has responded to that item in bold italics. Cash Proffers-$3,OOO per market rate unit proffered, There were 10 market rate units proposed and the Board's expectation for single family detached (SFD) units to offset their impacts to public facilities is $17,500 per unit. The applicant has now provided cash proffers, meeting County policy guidelines, to address impacts to public facilities. Affordable Housina Proffer- It was unclear in the proffers the number of units being proffered, The applicant has now provided for affordable housing in the proffers using standard language and meeting County policy. Affordable Accessory Units Proffers- This proffer was unclear and did not define accessory units, The applicant had proffered that half of the SFD units proposed, or a total of 5, would have affordable accessory units, The applicant is no longer proposing accessory units and has eliminated this proffer. Open Space Dedication to the Countv- The applicant proposed to proffer approximately 0.80 acres of open space, adjacent to Lanetown Road, to the County for parks and recreation purposes, The dedication was not desired by Parks & Recreation and there is no park shown for this property in the Crozet Master Plan. The applicant is no longer proposing an open space/park dedication to the County and has eliminated this proffer. .-,,\1:' 9 ,,, Concept Plan- The applicant had not made proffer commitments to features of the concept plan that had been provided. However, the maximum number of residential units and provision of open space were proffered, The applicant has not proffered the concept plan but has still provided a proffer limiting the number of dwelling units on the property to no more than 12. Some Commissioners noted the following additional reasons for not supporting the project in discussion: . The proposed conceptual layout was not sympathetic to the adjoining neighborhood, . This proposal was not right for this area and there were concerns about the density of this project at this location in Crozet. The applicant has reduced the total number of proposed units from 14 to 12 since the Planning Commission public hearing. . The applicant did not provide acceptable submittal materials with sufficient information on the concept plan, The applicant has provided a revised concept plan that includes additional information. . There were infrastructure concerns, including sufficient water capacity, School capacity issues were also a concern, with students recently moved from Crozet to Brownsville Elementary School. Storm water and erosion was cited as a problem in Gray Rock and this project did not include workable stormwater concepts, The ACSA has not indicated capacity concerns. The applicant has provided cash proffers to address impacts to schools. The applicant has provided workable on-site storm water provisions that exceed ordinance requirements. SUMMARY: Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this rezoning and special use permits requested: 1, The rezoning is consistent with the Crozet Master Plan recommendations for density. 2, The applicant has provided for impacts to public facilities through cash proffers. 3. The applicant has provided affordable housing consistent with County policy, Staff has identified factors unfavorable to this request: 1. The applicant has not made proffer commitments to features of the concept plan that has been provided, However, the maximum number of residential units has been proffered, RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staff believes the applicant has addressed outstanding issues that led to the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial. Therefore, staff recommends approval of ZMA 2007-11 with the attached proffers, 10 :0 . . . ATTACHMENTS A. Zoning Map B. Aerial Map C. Concept Plan, dated 11/9/07 D.

Pursuant to Section 33.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, the Owner hereby voluntarily proffers the conditions listed below which shall be applied to the Property, if rezoned with the offered plans approved for development. These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and it is acknowledged that the conditions are reasonable. 1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Owner shall provide affordable housing equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total residential dwelling units within the Project in the form of for lease or for sale affordable dwelling units (the "Affordable Dwelling Units" or "Affordable Units"), Each subdivision plat and site plan for land within the Property 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, and the aggregate number of such lots or units designated for Affordable Units within each subdivision plat and site plan shall constitute a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the lots in such subdivision plat or site plan, In the event that the number of Affordable Dwelling Units to achieve 15% results in a fractional unit, the Owner shall contribute cash to the County in a proportionate amount based on the amount of$19,100, For example, if 15% equates to 1,8 Affordable Units, the Owner would provide 1 Affordable Unit pursuant to the terms described herein, and would contribute cash to the County in the amount of $15, 280 be paid prior to issuance of a building permit for the first Affordable Dwelling Unit. The Owner reserves the right, however, to provide two (2) Affordable Units and concede, or gift, the fractional monetary interest, (2 Affordable units minus 1,8 affordable units required equaling a 0,2 affordable overage) to Albemarle County, to meet the County's affordable housing requirement. 2, A. The Affordable Dwelling Units shall be comprised of single-family attached housing (townhouses) or single family detached houses at the Owner's option. The Owner or his successor in interest reserves the right to achieve the 15% Affordable Dwelling Units in a variety of ways, utilizing the above mentioned unit types alone or in combination as outlined below. The Owner shall convey the responsibility of constructing the affordable units to any subsequent purchaser ofthe Property. The current Proffer Form Patterson Subdivision Page 1 of4 Owner or subsequent Owner shall create units affordable to households with incomes less than 80% of the area median family income (the "Affordable Unit Qualifying Income"), such that housing costs consisting of principal, interest, real estate taxes and homeowner's insurance (PITI) do not exceed 30% of the Affordable Unit Qualifying Income; provided, however, that in no event shall the selling price of such Affordable Units be required to be less than the greater of One Hundred Ninety Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($190,400.00) or sixty-five percent (65%) of the applicable Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) maximum mortgage for first-time home buyers at the beginning of the 90-day identification and qualification period referenced below. The Owner or his successor in interest may at its option facilitate the provision of down payment assistance loans to reduce the out-of-pocket cash requirement costs to the homebuyer, such as, but not limited to a "silent" second lien Deed of Trust, so that the resultant first mortgage and housing costs remain at or below the parameters described herein, All financial programs or instruments described herein must be acceptable to the primary mortgage lender. Any "silent" second lien Deed of Trust executed as part of this paragraph shall be donated to the County of Albemarle or its designee to be used to address affordable housing, For purposes of calculating the price of the Affordable Dwelling Units, the value of Seller-paid closing costs shall be excluded from the selling price of such Affordable Dwelling Units. i. For-Sale Affordable Units - All purchasers of for-sale Affordable Units shall be approved by the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee, The Owner shall provide the County or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to identify and pre-qualify an eligible purchaser for the Affordable Units. The 90-day period shall commence upon written notice from the Owner that the units will be available for sale. This notice shall not be given more than 120 days prior to the anticipated receipt of the certificate of occupancy. If the County or its designee does not provide a qualified purchaser during this ninety (90) day period, the Owner shall have the right to sell the Unit(s) without any restriction on sales price or income ofpurchaser(s); provided, however, that any Units(s) sold or leased without such restriction shall nevertheless be counted toward the number of Affordable Units required to be provided pursuant to the terms of this proffer.

In addition, during the Affordable Term, the then-current owner shall provide to the County, if requested, any reports, copies of rental or lease agreements, or other data pertaining to rental rates as the County may reasonably require. B, County Option for Cash In Lieu of Affordable Units. If at any time prior to the County's approval of any preliminary site plan or subdivision plat for the subject property which includes one or more for-sale Affordable Dwelling Units, the Housing Office informs the then-current owner/builder in writing that it may not have a qualified purchaser for one or more of the for-sale Affordable Dwelling Units at the time that the then-current owner/builder expects the units to be completed, and that the Housing Office will instead accept a cash contribution to the Housing Office to support affordable housing programs in the amount of Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($19,100) in lieu of each Affordable Unites), then the then-current owner/builder shall pay such cash contribution to the County prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the Unites) that were originally planned to be Affordable Dwelling Units, and the then- current owner/builder shall have the right to sell the Unites) without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s), For the purposes of this proffer, such Affordable Dwelling Units shall be deemed to have been provided when the subsequent owner/builder provides written notice to the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee that the Affordable Units(s) will be available for sale, 3, CASH PROFFER A. The Owner shall contribute cash to the County in the following amounts for each dwelling unit constructed within the Property that is not an Affordable Dwelling Unit.

Attachment G PO Box 245 Crozet · Virginia. 22932 December 03,2007 Rebecca Ragsdale, Lead Planner Department of Planning & Community Development 401 McIntire Rd. Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 Subject: Patterson Subdivision (ZMA20070 11) Dear Ms Ragsdale: The Grayrock HOA has met and discussed the subject proposal and requests that this letter be part of the read-ahead staffing package that is prepared for the Board of Supervisors (BOS) public hearing. The Grayrock HOA continues to have serious concerns over the proposal as it exists before the BOS, While the applicant has removed accessory apartments from the plan and reduced the number of dwellings from 14 to 12 since the Planning Commission (PC) hearing we remain convinced that the proposed developments compliance with the Crozet Master Plan (CMP), consistency with the surrounding neighborhood and safety/traffic concerns remain to be sufficiently addressed, Additionally, it seems as though the County's use of the PC to provide recommendations on the parcel has been emasculated by allowing substantive changes to occur between the PC and BOS hearings without additional formal review by the Pc. The proposed development calls for zoning and lot size that is not in compliance with the CMP, and home types that are not in concert with either Grayrock or the more rural setting on the West side of the property. The proposed development is in an area designated by the CMP as CT3 - Hamlet. Table 1 of the CMP calls for an average lot size of 10,000 sf As shown in the applicant's site concept plan, the average lot size under this rezoning would only be 8,839 sf. By comparison, the 26 homes in Grayrock North average a lot size of 12,371 sf. The Patterson development as proposed would stand out as a pocket of density in an area that otherwise serves as a transition from residential (R- 4) zoning to the much more rural feel ofR..l zoning, As vehicular access to the proposed development will be exclusively through Grayrock North, we remain deeply concerned by the prospect of increased traffic on Lanetown Way, Lanetown Way was built as a rural section of street (18' wide, no sidewalks). As such, it is used for pedestrian traffic and as play space for the neighborhoods 40+ children, As proposed, the development would add 12 new residences using Lanetown Way. When coupled with unknown future increases in vehicular traffic due to the linterconnectivity spur' in the site plan, we could expect traffic to increase by at least 46 % when compared with the traffic generated by the existing 26 residences currently using Lanetown Way, We view this possibility as very concerning for the safety of our children and the many pedestrians that enjoy walking and running throughout Grayrock. There have been some procedural irregularities in how this proposal has progressed through milestones required by the County, In order to ensure adequate public involvement and discourse on rezoning issues, County guidelines require that public notice signs be posted at least 15 days prior to public hearing before the PC. In the case of the Patterson property, signs were not posted until five days before the hearing. Additionally, and perhaps of greater concern, there have been substantive changes to the proposal after the PC rendered its recommendation, When this proposal went before the PC on 16 October 2007, it was rejected by a 6-0 vote, While each Commissioner spoke to differing areas of concern, they were united in their assessment that the plan before them had insufficient infonnation for them to render a thoughtful recommendation, In fact the PC directly asked the applicant's agent if he 'wanted to turn this hearing into a work session' due their unease with the lack of detail in the plan, The applicant's agent asked for an up or down vote, and the result was a 'no' recommendation. The plan for the Patterson property has since been modified, yet the PC hasn't reviewed/voted on the plan before the BOS nor has the public had opportunity express its concerns on the new plan for consideration by the PC, Since one of the purposes of appointing a panel of diverse citizens to the PC is to ensure a :full vetting of plans that will come before the BOS, shouldn't a 'revised plan' go back to the PC for review, hearing and a vote? We feel that there are at least two sound reasons to reject the Patterson subdivision rezoning/development plan outright as it is proposed: non-compliance with the CMP and safety concerns for children and pedestrians on a section of road that does not have sidewalks, The Grayrock HOA is not opposed to any development of the subject property however, we are opposed to the plan as proposed. Perhaps a better solution is to send this proposal back to the PC for further work until it is able to fully evaluate the revised plan and associated community concerns, The Grayrock ROA will have a representative at the BOS meeting and will be prepared to answer any questions from the BOS or Community Development staff, Sincerely, -.JUr1tL Ii) L<l1chrJUt'- Tina Munchmeyer President, Grayrock HOA .. /. .. .' ----L.
