unanimously approved the above-noted request to allow approximately 130 rental
apartments, club house, pool & associated parking in accord with Sec 232.2.9 of the
Zoning Ordinance which allows for uses permitted in the R-15 district in compliance
with regulations set forth therein. Please note that this approval is subject to the
following conditions:

and with the [reduced] Concept Plan dated July 26, 1999 and initialed "SET
7/27/99", herein included as Attachment B. not to exceed a total of 143

special use permit through applicable zoning regulations.
2. Site plan approval for this property shall be contingent upon VDOT approval of intersection
plans, to include signalization, at the intersection of Riverbend Drive and South Pantops

In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued
shall not be commenced within eighteen (18) months after the issuance of such permit,
the same shall be deemed abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall
