CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 7, 2022 at 4:00 PM In person: Council Chamber, 605 E. Main Street Virtual/electronic: Zoom The Charlottesville City Council met on Monday, November 7, 2022.

PRESENTATION: Botanical Garden of the Piedmont Annual Report Jill Trischman-Marks, Executive Director, presented the Annual Report for the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont (BGOP). Council members made comments in support of the work being done by the BGOP and their fundraising efforts. 2. PRESENTATION: City Attorney report on vacating Rights-of-Way City Attorney Lisa Robertson reported on processes for vacating city-owned rights-of-way as follow-up to previous meetings where some members of City Council expressed a desire to follow a more prescribed process. She referenced policies from 2005 and 2019 and reviewed reasons why it may be difficult to treat equally all requests to vacate real estate holdings. Three main types of real estate holdings presented to the City for acceptance or disposition are: Streets (99% city-owned), Alleys (99% privately owned), and public utility easements (100% city-owned). One factor to consider is what the city’s interest might be in the property. Ms. Robertson stated that the Office of Community Solutions is identifying whether the 2019 policy gives enough information about how applications will be handled, the analysis that will take place before items are presented to City Council for a vote, and what factors Council may consider when making decisions. Following discussion, Councilor Magill suggested placing clear information on the city website for transparency to residents. CLOSED SESSION On motion by Payne, seconded by Pinkston, Council voted 5-0 (Ayes: Magill, Payne, Pinkston, Snook, Wade; Noes: none) to meet in closed session as authorized by Virginia Code Section 2.2- 3711(A)(7) and (A)(8), for consultation with legal counsel pertaining to various litigation matters currently pending in federal court (Western District of Virginia) and the Charlottesville Circuit Court, where briefing in an open meeting would adversely affect the litigating posture of the City, and for consultation with legal counsel regarding the human rights ordinance, the PCOB operating procedures, a pending special use permit application (113 5th Street SW), and for advice on FOIA compliance regarding joint closed meetings with other public bodies.

CITY MANAGER REPORT Interim City Manager Rogers referenced the written report in the meeting packet. He made a statement regarding gun violence in the city and reported on his meeting with Friends of the Downtown Mall. He asked Interim Police Chief Durrette to report on shots fired calls for service. Chief Durrette reported on shots fired incidents in the city since 2017, noting increases in 2020 and 2021, and a reduction in 2022. He reported additional crime statistics.

Kirk Bowers, Albemarle County resident, spoke about the need to phase out natural gas in Charlottesville. 13. Christine Palozzolo, city resident, spoke in opposition to Item #18 as presented.

ORDINANCE: Amending Chapter 12 of the City Code to Require Fire Inspection Reports (carried) Michael Thomas, Interim Fire Chief, presented the ordinance amendment request, which would establish a local requirement for copies of inspection, testing and maintenance records to be submitted to the City Fire Official, and also to require that the means of sharing those records will be through a web-based application designated by the Fire Official. These requirements are within City Council's authority conferred by Virginia Code Sections 27-97 and 27-98. Council agreed to carry the item forward to the November 21 Consent agenda for second reading and vote. 16.

After discussion on the FHAP, Mayor Snook listed reasons for delaying action on the ordinance changes. Council discussed opinions on the number of commissioners.

Responding to Councilor Payne, City Engineer Jack Dawson stated that he could not recommend approval of the waiver based on City Code regulations and conditions in the application. He expressed concerns with environmental issues and groundwater recharge, advising that he has no way to weigh density against environmental impact and that being unable to recommend approval does not equate a recommendation of denial. Mr. Payne expressed concerns about the affordable housing component of the project and adoption of the inclusionary zoning ordinance, specifically whether the public benefit outweighs the real cost. Ashley Davies, with Riverbend Development answered questions for Council. She referenced State stormwater requirements and stated that the applicant is following processes set by the city.

On motion by Payne to Deny, seconded by Pinkston, Council by the following vote DENIED to Special Use Permit request: (Ayes: Magill, Payne, Pinkston; Noes: Snook, Wade).
