Zoning Map Amendment Application Revised 11/02/2015 Page 4 of 4 ZMA 2016 - WOOLEN MILLS — Revision of Critical Slopes PROJECT PROPOSAL This application is submitted in conjunction with the pending ZMA application No. 2016-16 for a mixed- use redevelopment of the old Woolen Mills property. The redevelopment of this valuable, historic site will necessarily require the disturbance of some existing critical slopes. Attached is a plan prepared by Timmons Group labeled, "Woolen Mills Redevelopment Plan — Critical Slopes Impacts." This preliminary plan shows that of the roughly 10 -acre site, there are 1.54 acres of critical slopes, of which 0.64 acres are potentially impacted by the proposed redevelopment. It is important to note that no stream bank slopes are impacted. It is believed that these impacted slopes were originally man-made slopes created as part of the original development of the Woolen Mills property. There are remnants of an old road/driveway visible on site which traverse the impacted slopes, and old photographs show the impacted slopes incorporated into the site design. It is hereby requested that all impacted slopes be designated as managed slopes and that the disturbance of the same be permitted per the re- development pians. Such development will not present any danger to public health, safety and/or welfare, but rather will have the positive benefit of helping to preserve a key historic resource for Albemarle County and its citizens. Likewise, by facilitating the redevelopment plan, it will also allow for increased public access and connectivity to the Rivanna Trail. Given the relatively minor impacts associated with this requested modification and the unique benefits of facilitating the re -development of this important historic site, applicant believes that granting this request would serve a public purpose of greater import than would be served by a strict application of the typical critical slope regulations, and therefore asks that its request to develop the critical slopes as shown on the attached plan is granted. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN In 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as a precursor to this rezoning application. The same proposal was presented to the Board at that time and was very well received. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is the result of that Comprehensive Plan amendment which specifically provides for Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial use on the Property. If further specifically provides that "Residential use of a portion of the historic former mill buildings as part of a mixed-use development may be appropriate if the buildings are removed from the floodplain and provided that at least 45% of the total built square footage and leased outdoor area of the mill property is used non - residentially in employment -generating and commercial uses." Applicant has been working diligently since that Comprehensive Plan amendment was adopted to have the floodplain revised by FEMA to allow for such residential development which is necessary to the feasibility of this mixed-use project, and now that such floodplain amendment is expected in the short term, has filed this rezoning application to keep the Project moving forward. It is a stated objective within the Comprehensive Plan to "Pursue additional protection measures and incentives to preserve Albemarle's historic and archaeological resources in order to foster pride in the County and maintain the County's character." This proposed amendment will do that by providing the flexibility necessary to preserve and reuse the existing historic buildings, while opening up the Property to be more welcoming to the community as a whole. The Woolen Mills story is one that should not be lost, and should not only be known to the community, but should be a source of pride. Sadly, many County residents have not seen this beautiful Property because there is nothing drawing them there. Connecting the Rivanna Trails through this Property and having some mixed uses there that provide work, home and entertainment possibilities will help to preserve this piece of history. As the Comprehensive Plan states, "choices about growth and change should include the preservation of historic buildings and structures. Adaptive reuse may be a practical approach to preserving these important historic resources." Needless to say, with the Comprehensive Plan having been amended to specifically allow for this Project, including the residential use proposed hereby, the proposed project and this request are very consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. IMPACTS ON PUBLIC FACILITIES & PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE The Project will be served by public roads, water and sewer. The main entrance to the Project will be from Broadway St., which is presently capable of handling the traffic needs of this Project. The traffic study prepared in connection with this project concluded that "[t]he traffic associated with the Woolen Mills project will have a minimal impact on the surrounding transportation network. The ... analyses indicate that the Woolen Mills site traffic can be accommodated with no improvements to the study area intersections." IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES This Project will have no adverse impacts on environmental features. On the contrary, the Project will facilitate improved and adapted use of green spaces, create more green spaces accessible to the public and preserve the historic beauty of the area through the renovation and preservation of the existing mill buildings. New walking trails will welcome the public to view a beautiful part of the County that may otherwise be lost to history. cmc N —1 N 1� .451 it TIMMONS GROUP WOOLEN MILLS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN -AaL tTS = CRITICAL SLOPE on ti till H .i; I —1 N 1� .451 it TIMMONS GROUP WOOLEN MILLS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN -AaL tTS = CRITICAL SLOPE on ti —1 N 1� .451 it TIMMONS GROUP WOOLEN MILLS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN -AaL tTS = CRITICAL SLOPE on
