Rivanna Ridge Apartments
Zoning Amendment Request
Project Narrative
August 15, 2016
Project Proposal:
This proposal is to amend an existing planned district to allow multi -family residential behind the Rivanna Ridge retail
center. This is a historically suburban -designed center, but is transitioning into a mixed-use area. Nearby
development is largely retail and office: apartments would benefit residents by providing homes convenient to
employment and services.
Property Description/ Tax Map 78 Parcel 73A
Existing Conditions: 6.14 acres
Vacant — Regional stormwater facility on eastern portion of site
29% coverage in "managed" slopes
PDMC Zoning District — 25,000 sf office space per ZMA-2002-00008

120 Multi -Family Units

R-15 Residential apartments on 25 acres
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan:
The comprehensive plan classifies this parcel as Urban Mixed -Use. Currently, the adjacent Urban Mixed -Use land is
entirely retail and offices. This development would move the area closer to the target of 50% residential on Urban Mixed -
Use, as detailed in the Pantops Master Plan.
Impacts on Public Facilities and Public Infrastructure:
As the development will be part of an urban center, the traffic impacts will be less than a conventional development.
This is the final parcel in the South Pantops Master Plan to be developed. As tabulated in the re -zoning plan, the actual
completed development has significantly less traffic impact than the development approved in the Master Plan, and the
proposed development will be well within the parameters laid out in the Master Plan.
Connection fees and service fees should compensate for other public infrastructure impacts.
Impacts on Environmental Features:
This development will impact some steep slopes that have been classified as managed. Existing vegetation will be
preserved wherever possible, and no water resources are within the area of impact.
