We have a number of questions and comments which we believe should be resolved before your proposal goes to public hearing. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues. Our comments are provided below: 1. Staff has discussed the density further, and found that all the parcels can be used to calculate the density. 2. The proposal does not conform to the affordable housing policy in the comprehensive plan. Revise to include 15% affordable units. Staff will recommend a condition to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors that 15% of the units should be affordable. Strategy 6b: Continue to ensure that at a minimum, 1.5% of all units developed under rezoning and special use permits are affordable, as defined by the County's Office of Housing, or a comparable contribution is made to achieve the affordable housing goals of the County. In 2005, the County adopted an Affordable Housing Policy that established an expectation for affordable housing in at least 15% of new housing provided in units approved by rezoning or special use permit. The Appendix provides greater detail on how this should occur, including the option of providing cash -in -lieu of units to the Housing Fund. Over time, new affordable units will be constructed to help meet the needs of the low -to -moderate income population. 3. The 'future building envelopes' should be removed from the concept plan. If the parcel is rezoned in the future, it will be a by -right use and therefore these are not necessary. 4. While no buildings are being shown on parcel 124F, a condition will be recommended that if the parcel is redeveloped, the buildings shall be oriented toward the street and parking shall be relegated behind the building and any parking along Putt Putt be limited. 5. Will the development be phased? If so, indicate on the plan the phasing proposed. Depending on how the development will be phased, conditions may be recommended to the PC and BOS concerning improvements and the timing of those improvements. 6. The pocket park should be removed from the acreage for land dedication to the County and shown differently on the plan than the pocket park. Parks and Recreation will support only the land needed for the trail. 7. Show the existing sanitary sewer along Rio Road East. It appears that the conceptual layout for street trees will be in conflict with the existing ACSA sanitary sewer. 8. Include the proposed number of rooms on the application plan for the hotel use. 9. VDOT comments on the traffic study are forthcoming and will be sent as soon as they are received. Planning Planning staff's comments are organized as follows: • How the proposal relates to the Comprehensive Plan • The Neighborhood Model analysis • Additional comments from reviewers Comprehensive Plan. Comments on how your project conforms to the Comprehensive Plan will be provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report that will be prepared for the work session or public hearing. The property is located with in the Places29 Masterplan and is part of the Rio29 small area plan currently being created. The land use designations for this property are as follows: 06100-00-00- 124G0: Urban Density Residential — residential (6.01— 34 units/ acre); supporting uses such as religious institutions, schools, commercial, office and service uses; Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial — commercial, professional office; research and development, design, testing of prototypes; manufacturing, assembly, packaging; residential is a secondary use (no maximum density); Urban Mixed Use (in areas around Centers) — commercial and retail uses that are not accommodated in Centers and residential (3 — 34 units/ acre). 06100-00-00-124F0: Urban Mixed Use (in areas around Centers) — commercial and retail uses that are not accommodated in Centers and residential (3 — 34 units/ acre). 06100-00-00-124E0: Urban Density Residential — residential (6.01— 34 units/ acre); supporting uses such as religious institutions, schools, commercial, office and service uses. As stated above, no affordable housing units are being proposed with the request. A minimum of 15% should be provided per the Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhood Model General comments on how well the proposed development meets the principles of the Neighborhood Model are provided here. More detailed comments may be provided at a later date if changes are made and/or after more detailed plans are provided. Pedestrian • Sidewalks and planting strips are located along Rio Orientation • Buildings are shown facing Rio Mixture of Uses • Residential, commercial, office, and retail uses are proposed. This I principle is met. Neighborhood These parcels are adjacent to designed "centers" within the Places29 Centers Master Plan, however no civic space has been identified on the Plan in this location. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability • Providing some affordable units within the residential proposed should be explored. 15% should be the minimum provided per the County's affordable housing policy. • Within the immediate area there are a variety of housing types including apartments, single family detached and single family attached units that together meet this principal of the neighborhood model. Interconnected A future vehicular and pedestrian connection are shown to Albemarle Streets and Square. This principle is met. Transportation Networks Multi -modal Transportation Opportunities Parks, Recreational Amenities, and Open Space Buildings and Space of Human Scale Relegated Parking • These properties are along the CAT route and an existing stop is within walking distance. This principle has been met. • A multi -use trail is proposed. This principle is met. • Building are located along Rio Road and pedestrian mall is being provided internal to the site. This principle is met. • Parking is regulated behind and to the sides of the buildings. This principle is met. i— Redevelopment Respecting Terrain and Careful Grading and Re -grading of Terrain Clear Boundaries with the Rural Area • The parcel that will contain the proposed residential and hotel is currently vacant. This principle is not applicable. • These parcels are relatively flat. The interconnection to Albemarle Square may need to include retaining walls. A commitment should be made if retaining walls are needed, any above six feet in height should be terraced. Not applicable Additional Planning Comments 1. It is unclear if the first street off of Putt Putt will be a private street or just an accessway. If a private street, sidewalks and planting strips/street trees need to be provided on both sides of the street. 2. The private street proposed to connect to Albemarle Sq only has sidewalks on one side of the street. The ordinance requires them on both sides unless a waiver is granted. 3. The sidewalk at the corners of every street should include a ramp and crossing. Zoning The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Ron Higgins: 1. General comments. a. Proposal: Concept of mixed uses is in general accord with the Comprehensive Plan but may not fully meet the intent of the small area plan. b. Required parking for uses — Calculations to be determined at the time of site plan development, in accordance with the Albemarle County Code. c. Building setbacks/build to lines to be determined at the time of site plan development in accordance with Section 4.20 of the Albemarle County Code/Zoning Ordinance. 2. "R & D/Flex" uses in C-1 & HC: Such uses are limited to 4,000 sq. ft. per establishment per site in both C-1 & HC. This request includes uses that are proposed to exceed this amount, and a Special Exception is being requested from the BOS. Engineering and Water Resources The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Frank Pohl: 1. Existing SWM facility appears to be impacted by this development, which will require an amendment of that plan to be submitted/approved. 2. If the SWM facility is to be a shared facility, all parties must be part of a SWM maintenance agreement. 3. This project includes developed areas, which are subject to additional phosphorus load reductins per VSMP regulations (9VAC25-870-63). 4. There are small areas of managed slopes on the project. Impacts to these areas do not pose a major concern for engineering since they are interior to the site and do not include large differences in grades. 5. Refer to VSMP approval process at: http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms center/departments/Community Devel opment/forms/applications/WPO Application Process.pdf Entrance Corridor The following comments related to the Architectural Review Board have been provided by Margaret Maliszewski: 1. Locate the new building on parcel 124F at the west end of parcel, with no parking fronting Rio Road and any parking fronting Putt Putt Place limited to the east end of the Putt Putt Place frontage. Revise the plan to show building and parking envelopes for the redevelopment on this parcel. VDOT These comments will be forthcoming. ASCA The following comments have been provided by Alex Morrison: 1. Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal None Known 2. Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Capacity Certification X* Yes No 3. Water flow or pressure issues that may affect this proposal None Known 4. "Red Flags" regarding service provision (Use attachments if necessary) X** *If the development will have more than 40,000 GPD of wastewater it will require RWSA capacity certification. The ACSA will apply for this during the final site plan stage. ** Due to the inverts on the sewer the only possible connection appears to be an extension from Arden Place Apartment. The invert at the end of the line manhole is listed as 474'. The applicant should ensure that they can provide gravity sewer on site through an extension of the sewer line around the existing detention pond. Show the existing sanitary sewer along Rio Road East. It appears that the conceptual layout for street trees will be in conflict with the existing ACSA sanitary sewer. Water and sewer construction plan review submittal to the ACSA will be required. RWSA The following comments have been provided by Victoria Fort: 1. Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal None Known 2. Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Capacity Certification X* Yes No 3. Water flow or pressure issues that may affect this proposal None Known 4. "Red Flags" regarding service provision (Use attachments if necessary) None Known *It appears from the above applications that Phase II of Arden Place will produce over 40,000 gallons per day of sewage flow, therefore requiring a flow acceptance from RWSA. Note that any proposed connections to RWSA water facilities in Rio Road as part of Arden Place Phase II will require review and approval by RWSA.
