        WHEREAS Stanley Martin Companies, LLC (“developer”), as the owner of property

identified within the City’s real estate assessment records by Parcel Identification Nos.
200142000, 200126000, 200147000, 200131200, 200125000, 200146000, 200130001,

200143000, seeks a waiver of the critical slopes requirements of City Code Sec. 34-1120(b)(6) to
allow construction of a residential development project referred to as the Azalea Springs
Subdivision (the “Project”); and

        WHEREAS in order to construct the Project as desired, and presented in their
development application, the developer will need to disturb 93.1% of the critical slopes currently
existing within the development site (of that 93.1%, 63.7% of the critical slopes require a waiver
from City Council; the remaining critical slopes areas are exempt per City Code Sec. 34-
1120(b)(7)(c)); and

       WHEREAS the Planning Commission held their regular meeting on December 12, 2022
and recommended approval of the request to waive the critical slopes requirements, pursuant to
City Code §34-1120(b)(6)(d); and

       WHEREAS upon consideration of the information and materials provided by the
applicant and the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the City Council finds and
determines pursuant to City Code Sec. 34-1120(b)(6)(d)(i) that: the benefits of allowing
disturbance of the critical slopes in connection with the Project outweigh the public benefits of
the undisturbed slopes, and that a waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, detrimental to the orderly development of the area or to adjacent properties, or contrary
to sound engineering practices; now, therefore,

        BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia THAT a
waiver of the critical slopes requirements of City Code Sec. 34-1120(b)(6) is hereby granted, for
the residential development Project described within the materials presented to City Council on
January 3, 2023, referred to as the Azalea Springs Subdivision.
