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.

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.

residential uses in question per this request for waiver and Code of Development.

RE: Southwood Phase 1 Zoning Map Amendment - Request for Substitution of Required
Recreational Facilities and Areas
Project: Southwood Redevelopment: Phase 1
Owner: Southwood Charlottesville LLC
Representatives: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, BRW Architects
Dear Megan Nedostup,
Please consider this request to allow substitution of the recreational facilities requirements
specified in chapter 18 section 4.16.2 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance and a
request to allow for reduction of the recreational and amenity area requirements
specified in chapter 18 section 4.16.1 and 20A.9.
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

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.
Below, please find a summary of the required recreational area and facilities per 4.16
and a list of the proposed substitutions for the facilities within Southwood Phase 1.
