RE: ZMA2018-003 Southwood
Ms. Otis:
Fax (434) 972-4176
Staff has reviewed your resubmittal for a zoning map amendment (ZMA) for the Southwood
redevelopment. We have a number of questions and comments which we believe should be considered
before your ZMA moves forward to the Planning Commission. We would be glad to meet with you to
discuss these issues. Our comments are provided below:
Amending portion of ZMA200500017 Biscuit Run included on TMP 90A1-1 E:
Previous comments regarding the amendment of the Biscuit Run NMD were acknowledged by
the applicant and they have indicated that a proffer statement will be submitted. This statement
will be reviewed and comments may be given when it is submitted. According to Section
33.2.b.1(a) and (b), signatures of other property owners are not required but written notice shall
be required to other property owners subject to the same proffers within the Biscuit Run planned
development. This will be completed by County staff.
General Application Comments:
1. A work session with the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors will take place on
August 7th. After this work session, additional comments may be provided based on the
feedback received.
2. Affordable Housing: for this first phase a commitment needs to be made that 15% will be
affordable to meet the policy. There is a scenario in which less than 15% will be provided. The
worksession with the Planning Commission and the Board may provide additional guidance.
3. The term "transect" is a specific planning term that describes how development occurs over a
large area and not just one development. It is recommended that the COD be revised to state
the areas as "character area 1-5 (C1, C2, etc) so as not to provide confusion. Also, the way that
the transects are proposed (1-5) regarding density and level of development is the opposite of
how the terms are described/used around the country- T-1 is the least dense area and
increasing in density/level of development as the number gets to 5-6.
httD://www.doz.com/Initiatives/Transect
Application Plan/Code of Development:
Code of Development: Planning/Zoning (Megan Nedostup; Rebecca Ragsdale):
1. Note that items under the Neigborhood Model analysis (below) that are bolded should be
addressed in the COD.
2. Page 17 of the COD ("Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan") says that UDR allows up to
35 du/acre, while the actual limit is 34 du/acre.
3. Page 18-19-Affordable Housing- Additional narrative, examples, and detail has been provided
to outline the overall goals and approach, which is helpful. Following input from the Board and
Planning Commission in their August 7 work session, a regulatory table must be added that
establishes the minimum number of affordable units required by block. The narrative is
confusing as to what the minimum will be for each block. Typically, affordable housing
commitments have been 2-fold for for -sale units where the income of the qualified purchaser
and sale price are reviewed by the Housing Director. For rental units, the Housing Director has
provided maximum rental rates.
4. Page 21-Carriage units: Previous comment has been partially addressed. If carriage houses
will not count towards density and be considered accessory units, typically there is a standard,
either percentage (35%-50% gfa of the primary dwelling) or max sq. ft. that limits their size.
5. Page 21: Please list these two uses separately so there is no confusion. Home occupation class
A's are not allowed in accessory structures. Also, delete sheds as a use. Sheds are covered by
the accessory uses and buildings category.
a. Accessory uses and buildings including storage buildings
b. Home occupation, Class A, where the district includes residential uses
6. Page 21-Daily vehicle trip count limit -Enforceable standards (How, what, who?) must be
established in the code of development so it is clear how the 5,000 vtpd regulation is to be
administered during site plan, subdivision, and zoning clearance reviews.
7. Page 22-Move Home Occupation Class A and Class B to the residential chart on Page 21.
8. Page 22 and Non -Residential Uses by Block: Based on RLUIPA and the uses allowed in this
COD, it would not be permitted to totally exclude religious assembly. RLUIPA states that
religious uses cannot be treated differently than secular institutional uses (e.g. a school
compared to a church). They must be treated on equal terms. RLUIPA does allow for a zoning
district to completely exclude religious uses, as long as they are allowed somewhere in the
jurisdiction and do not have unreasonable burdens. However, if a zoning district allows for other
institutional uses, such as schools or clubs and lodges, it must also allow for religious uses.
Religious uses do not only include churches; they may also include rooms used for meetings,
soup kitchens, religious gatherings in homes, and schools with both religious and secular uses.
Considering that the COD allows for private schools, clubs and lodges, event halls and
community centers, it would seem that religious uses should be allowed as well. The COD could
restrict institutional uses to certain areas, as long as all institutional uses were treated
equally.
9. Page 23-Parking (Rebecca)- I have no objection to the modification request. The parking
space location table must be revised/simplified so it is easier to read and administer. Also, the
requirement that parking must be located within a 200' radius must be added as a note to the
regulatory table, not included in the narrative. I recommend that the 200' radius be measured
from the building, not the lot. Also, previous comments that safe pedestrian access (paths,
sidewalks) be provided from parking to the use have not been included.
10. Page 23 Parking- What is public way? Do you mean right of way? When not adjacent to
building, but adjacent to residential areas, parking should be screened as well. Will the
screening requirement be per the existing ordinance? Or what will the requirement be?
11. Page 27-Tree Preservation Area -This must also be added to the Application Plan. Clearly
show, to -scale, on the application plan where the tree preservation area is located. The code of
development must specify standards for this area. Where is the 30' measured from? Is this
supposed to be an undisturbed buffer area? Can it be disturbed and replanted? What are the
planting standards?
12. Page 28- the title has been fixed, however the description says "units facing", not "lots facing".
13. Page 31- The Comprehensive Plan and discussions concerning the size of the center have
been centered/recommended that the center in Southwood be a Neighborhood Service Center.
The regulations proposed for T-1 especially, and also T-2 provide for a much larger center than
just Neighborhood Service. While the Southern and Western neighborhoods do not have a table
describing the centers, Places29 Master Plan does and Southwood should follow those
recommendations. See attached table. The maximum building height recommended is 3 stories
and a single footprint of 15,OOOsf. What is proposed is way above these recommendations, and
is more in line with a "Destination Center" which has not been the understanding, and what has
been heard from the residents thus far. It is recommended that T-1 and T-2 be revised to fit with
a Neighborhood Service designation.
14. Page 31- Footnote E is not clear on what the design would be. An illustration should be
provided to show what is intended.
15. Page 31- Stepbacks should be provided after the 3rd story in T-1. In addition, 5 feet is not a
sufficient stepback to provide variation/breaks along the street. Five feet would not be
noticeable to a pedestrian. It is recommended that the stepback be set at 15' which is consistent
with the zoning ordinance and also is being recommended for Rio29 Small Area plan.
16. Page 31- Maximum front setbacks should be provided for T-4 and T-5 in order to be in line with
the Neighborhood Model.
17. Page 30- More specificity needs to be given for regulated parking. Does this mean to the side
and rear of buildings/units?
18. Page 29-32-Setbacks, Height and other lot regulations- The standards must be enforceable
and they cannot be modified without a special exception approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Notes C and D need to be removed. Note E will need to be clarified, perhaps with an illustration
on how this would be developed. "Side Corner" is not a term in the ordinance, a corner lot has
two front and two sides according to the zoning ordinance. Please clarify the intent for how
corner lots would be treated (side setback applying to one of the fronts?) Following the work
session on August 7, staff will provide more detailed comments on necessary revisions to this
section of the code of development or if it should be removed and a more simplified table added
back. If page 30 remains, it will need revision to include regulatory language to define what is
expected for the street edge, etc. Examples can be provided by staff.
Application Plan
1. Previous comment: Sheet A1.01 and A1.02-To simplify the plan set and to address ordinance
requirements, consolidate these sheets.Typically the tax map parcel number, zoning, and use of
adjacent parcels are labeled on the regional context or existing conditions sheets. When
addressing this comment, please be sure to include the following:
• If the project is to amend an existing planned development district and the proposed
amendment would affect less area than the entire district, the applicant shall submit a
map showing the entire existing planned development district and identifying any area to
be added to or deleted from the district, or identifying the area to which the amended
application plan, code of development, proffers or any special use permit or special
exception would apply.
2. Sheet A2.01-Emergency Access -What are the minimum standards for the secondary
emergency access? Add a note that specifies the standard, or a note as determined by the Fire
Marshal.
Transportation (Adam Moore (VDOT): Comments forthcoming
Fire/Rescue (Shawn Maddox):
1. I don't quite understand the one way streets widening to 20' at 150' increments. If the primary
access to a structure is on the one way road then the entire length of the road must meet the 20'
requirement unless previously discussed allowances are made.
2. Thank you for addressing the second entrance/exit. Fire Rescue will work with the applicant
during the road plan/site plan process to meet the intent of the codes and the project.
Engineering (Frank Pohl):
1. Provide conceptual locations of stormwater facilities. Facilities must not be located within stream
buffers, steep slopes, or floodplain limits.
2. Floodplain Study must be submitted to FEMA to modify floodplain mapping. Modeling does not
appear to be calibrated with FEMA mapping. If grading (i.e. for trails) is expected to occur within
the limits of the floodplain, the regulated floodway must also need be determined because
grading is not allowed within the floodway, but is allowed within the floodplain fringe. The
regulated floodway does not appear to be shown on the 100 YR FLOOD MAP", even though it
is included in the legend. This can be done as part of the VSMP permitting process and is not
required for the ZMA application.
Proffers:
1. A proffer for the greenway trail should be offered. Staff will provide standard language for
modification/discussion.
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 (See attached)
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 a work session or public hearing.
These parcels are within the Southern and Western Neighborhood Master Plan and are designated as
Urban Density Residential (residential (6.01-34 units/acre); supporting uses such as religious
institutions, schools, commercial, office and service uses) with a Center designated along Old
Lynchburg Road. The number of units proposed is within the recommended density in the Comp Plan,
also there is a mixture of uses in Block B that could provide for a Neighborhood Center to be located
within the development.
Neighborhood Model
General comments on how well the proposed development meets the principles of the Neighborhood
Model are provided here. Please note that those comments bolded should be addressed. More
detailed comments may be provided at a later date if changes are made and/or after more detailed
plans are provided.
Pedestrian . While sidewalks are provided in all street sections, some of the sections allow for
Orientation sidewalks up against the curb without a planting strip in between the curb and
sidewalk.
• The planting strips provided in some of the sections are not wide enough
for a tree to be planted. A tree cannot survive in less than 6'.
• Where there is no planting strip, the sidewalk should be a minimum of 8 feet
wide.
If the sidewalks are intended to serve as multi -use paths, the minimum
width should be 10 feet.
As stated above, Block B should have a stepback requirement, in addition
stepbacks should be a minimum of 15', as the pedestrian is not going to be
able to distinguish that small of a setback from the street.
A maximum setback should be provided for in T-4 and T-5
Will lighting be provided? If so, please note that full cut-off fixtures are
required per Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mixture of Uses . A mix of uses is proposed in Block A and Block B
. Block A non-residential uses are scaled so that they are neighborhood oriented,
where Block B allows more flexibility for uses that could draw outside residents.
. Screening for the off -site parking should be considered if located near
residences.
. The uses proposed were developed and vetted by the residents and the more
intense non-residential uses were decided to be located in Block B.
Neighborhood
. The Southern and Western Neighborhoods Master Plan indicates that a
Centers
i Center should be provided here. This center was discussed as being
neighborhood focused and not necessarily serving the outside community.
• The scale and requirements listed for Block B would allow a much larger
I center than neighborhood and should be scaled back to be more inline with
the recommendations for a neighborhood center (number or stories,
stepbacks, maximum footprint)
• A feature should be considered to idenitify Block B as a center. Some
examples: special landscaping, corner plaza, public art.

guidance).
Provide rules for relegation of parking (see relegated parking comments
below).
Relegated . Parking should be relegated to the back or side of buildings. See comments
Parking I above regarding relegation of parking and clarifying the
permissions/requirements.
• Parking areas located adjacent to the street should be screened from
I streets.
• Provide a setback for front loaded garages from the porch or front of the
house (3-5 feet).
Redevelopment This first phase of redevelopment for Southwood is located on property that is
currently not developed, therefore, for Phase I, this principle does not apply.

Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing
a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.
