The proposed project is intended to be a mixed-use, mixed -income community with two blocks of distinct use and density, Block A and Block B. Per the Code of Development, Block A will have a density range between 80 - 150 residential units and will permit certain, neighborhood -centric, non-residential uses regulated by size. Block B will permit a variety of residential and non-residential uses at a higher intensity and will be distinct from Block A in its commercial -focus meant draw patrons from within and outside the development. This waiver request is seeking a reduction for the number of parking spaces required for the non-residential uses in Block A and most residential uses within the project. This waiver request is also seeking a modification to the requirements for parking locations for residential uses within the project. bruce wardell, aia principal kurt keesecker, aia senior associate 112 fourth street ne charlottesville virginia 22902 [p] 434.971. 7160 www.brw-architects.com To make the case for the proposed reduction and modification are the following points: • Though it is of the utmost importance to provide adequate parking, the neighborhood -focus in patron draw and size restrictions placed on non-residential uses in Block A of the proposed project intend to encourage walkability and indicate that less parking would be appropriate. Less parking for non-residential uses in Block A would also encourage neighborhood -centric development at a human scale. • The proposed project is within a half -mile of an existing bus stop in the adjacent Southwood Neighborhood. The proposed project intends to encourage an additional bus stop within the development. • The proposed project intends to encourage a resident -driven process in which, by the time of site planning and subdivision plat, residents will design their own neighborhoods. To allow for flexibility in the location for required residential parking spaces will also allow residents to design their neighborhood to meet their needs while optimizing an overall balance in. • The proposed project intends to avoid resident tension and distress over parking by reducing residential parking requirements only so much as to simplify and define parking requirements for residential uses that more closely align with the likely housing typologies of this development. This will also simplify the required calculations to demonstrate balanced parking. Below, please find a summary of the required parking spaces for the non-residential and residential uses in question per this request for waiver and Code of Development.

Per the Code of Development, the Southwood Phase 1 density range is between 80 - 150 units in Block A and 0 - 250 units in Block B of the property. The current proposed conservation area of 7.3 acres (at the southern boundary of parcel 90A1-1 E) is to be considered a green space to have a pedestrian trail throughout as a passive use recreational amenity. In addition, the proposed project is to have one (1) tot lot or applicable substitution per 4.16. The amenity space provided shall accommodate the maximum development density proposed with the rezoning plan. In addition, the proposed amenity space does not include additional amenities that may be provided within Block B of the development. This waiver request is seeking a modification to the ordinance as the exact amount of recreational amenity area and the type and number of recreational facilities required for the development. To make the case for the proposed substitution and reduction are the following points: • Though it is of the utmost importance to provide a safe, healthy, equitable, and sustainable neighborhood, to provide recreational areas and facilities beyond the proposed substitution would potentially burden the residents of the proposed bruce wardell, aia principal kurt keesecker, aia senior associate 112 fourth street ne Charlottesville virginia 22902 [p1434.971.7160 www.brw-architects.com project with maintenance costs, reduce the potential for housing, and, chiefly, jeopardize the project's emphasis on affordability and its ability to provide affordable housing. • Given the adjacency to the proposed 1,200 acre Biscuit Run Park, the entirety of the proposed project would be within a quarter -mile of this park and any potential amenities that it may hold. • The project's 7.3 acre conservation area and pedestrian trail will provide passive use recreation, a natural buffer and amenity, and connection to the adjacent Biscuit Run Park, all within a quarter -mile of the entire Southwood Phase 1 development. The conservation area is 21 % of the proposed project's total area and the proposed trail is to be at least 2,000 feet in length with connections to existing trails, trails proposed within Biscuit Run Park, proposed sidewalks within the development, and any future regional trails. • The proposed project is within a half -mile of several amenities - two playgrounds, one soccer field, and one multipurpose sport court (the soccer field and one playground within a quarter -mile or less of the proposed project) - and two pedestrian trails (each 1,000 feet or longer), all of which already exist within the adjacent, existing Southwood Neighborhood. See Exhibit A for proximity of existing amenities. • The proposed project intends to encourage a resident -driven process in which, by the time of site planning and subdivision plat, residents will design their own neighborhoods. It is the intention that any additional recreation areas and facilities be defined by and come from the desire of the community. It is the hope that this will encourage authentic community building, resident ownership, and allow residents to define the character and identity of their own neighborhoods.
