Area boundary(the"Lands"and"CPA 2015-00001,"respectively); and
WHEREAS,the Lands are approximately 223 acres in area, composed of Parcel IDs 07500-00-00-
03300, 07500-00-00-03400, 07500-00-00-03800, 07500-00-00-04500, 07500-00-00-045A0, 07500-00-00-

such parcels are currently within the Development Areas); and
WHEREAS,as directed by the Resolution of Intent, County staff studied the Lands for the purposes of
evaluating whether amending the Comprehensive Plan by expanding the Development Areas is appropriate at
this time, identifying appropriate land use designations for the Lands that would accommodate Target Industries,
and identifying preserved land that may complement the future County park in the vicinity(the"Study"); and
WHEREAS,on August 18,2015,the Albemarle County Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on CPA 2015-00001,at the conclusion of which it recommended disapproval; and

RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO APPROVE CPA 2015-01
ATTACHMENT B
Adjustment to Southern Urban Neighborhood
Changes to Page A.8.S+W. 25 of the Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods Master Plan
(See "Changes to Southern Development Area Boundary and Land" Map for Legend)
Figure 16: Rt. 29 and 1-64 Area
Insert map
6. The southwest quadrant of the Route 29 South and 1-64 interchange (Figure 1 6) contains a
future Center which is shown for Regional Mixed Use, land with an Industrial designation, and areas
shown for Parks and Green Systems. At present, part of the Center contains a beverage distribution
business. Commercial and residential uses are allowed on the property shown for Regional Mixed
Use, although this area may also be used for industrial uses. The Industrially designated area is
expected to support the County's target industries that need a location near an interstate
interchange and/or close proximity to downtown Charlottesville and/or the University of Virginia,
but are not adaptable to a mixed-use environment. This location is particularly suited for the
following industries and employment activities:
• Research and development with associated light assembly
• Specialty food production and distribution
• Adult beverage production and distribution
• Other small distribution facilities ancillary to a production operation
• Business and financial processing operations.
The terrain in this area is hilly and, at present, is covered mostly in deciduous forest. Moore's Creek
crosses the front of the properties designated for Regional Mixed Use along Route 29 South. Some
of the area shown as Parks and Green Systems contains environmentally sensitive systems including
steep slopes, streams, and vegetation that forms a stream buffer. Protection of these features is
important for habitat protection within Hedgerow Park and the Ragged Mountain Natural Area.
- _ _ - _ - - - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ - - _ _ . Passive recreation and trails may be
appropriate in areas designated for Parks and Green Systems and a public greenway is proposed
to extend from the Redfields neighborhood across Route 29 South, through the Regional Mixed Use
Area, westward to Hedgerow Park. The Parks and Green Systems designation also includes few
forested buffer to the Rural Area on the southwestern edge
of the Development Area and along the Entrance Corridors of Route 29 South and 1-64.
Because of the terrain and this area's location along two Entrance Corridors, building and site
appearance are important. Creativity in building design is desirable. To the extent possible,
buildings should be designed to fit into the terrain rather than require extensive grading. Tall
retaining walls are discouraged. Minimal removal of tree cover is expected.
Industrial uses have the potential to produce noise and odors; however, the proximity to nearby
residential and employment areas requires that new uses at this location have minimal noise and
odor impacts.
Improvements to the Route 29 South/l-64 interchange are called for in this region's Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP). While the project has the highest priority in the LRTP, the scope and
timing of the improvements have not yet been determined. Timing for the improvements may affect
or be affected by development of land in this quadrant. Ensuring the safety of residential,
commuting, shopping, and employment traffic is essential. Any future improvements to the
interchange could physically impact some of the properties at the interchange and developers
should coordinate with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on future plans for
interchange improvements.
When improving route 29 to support development at this quadrant, consideration should be given
to the importance of the following:
• Preserving left turn movements from the residential areas served by Teel Lane onto Route
29 going south,
• Preventing left turn movement from the Regional Mixed Use area served by Gold Eagle
Drive onto Route 29 going north towards 1-64,
• Improving the ability of truck traffic to make left turns to travel west on 1-64, and
• Finding alternatives to accommodate truck movements onto Route 29. It is preferred that
truck movements going both north and south are safe and convenient without the need for
a traffic signal.
Vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle connections should be made between the Regional Mixed Use
area and the Industrially designated area to help create a vibrant,active Center. These connections
will help to minimize conflicts with local traffic on Route 29 South between employment areas,
commercial services, and residential areas. Entrances to the properties will need to be sufficiently
spaced from 1-64 to meet VDOT safety standards. Depending on site distance and access
management requirements, slopes designated for preservation may need to be disturbed to build
entrance roads to the properties.
Extension of public water and sewer lines to this area will be needed. Along with these utilities,
infrastructure improvements should be provided concurrent with or in advance of development of
the Industrial and Regional Mixed Use areas.
