JOINT MEETING OF COMMISSION/ COUNCIL Beginning: 6:00 p.m. Continuing: until all public hearings are completed Format: (i) Staff Report, (ii) Applicant, (iii) Hearing 1. ZT19-10-02 - (To establish zoning regulations within a new zoning district, “DE-SIA”) – A proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, to add a new zoning district to be known as the Downtown Extended Strategic Investment Area District “DE- SIA”, and within that district to regulate the use of land, buildings, structures and other premises within the district; to regulate the size, height, area, bulk, location, alteration, repair, construction, maintenance or removal of buildings and structures; to regulate the areas and dimensions of land and air space to be occupied by buildings structures and uses, and of courts, yards and other open spaces to be left unoccupied by uses and structures. The proposed DE-SIA zoning district regulations will establish three subclassifications of property: T4 (3 stories of building height by right, 1 additional story available by bonus), T5 (4 stories of building height by right, 2 additional stories available by bonus) and T6 (5 stories of building height by right, 4 additional stories available by bonus). Within the proposed DE- SIA, the term “density” refers to a combination of the area(s) of land to be occupied by buildings and structures, and the overall size of buildings with regard to height and mass. The DE-SIA regulations will differ from the current DE-Mixed Use District regulations, in that the DE-MU regulations allow only 4 stories of building height by right (with up to 5 bonus stories allowed if mixed uses are provided within a building). The uses allowed within the proposed DE-SIA district are of similar character and intensity as those allowed currently within the Downtown Extended Mixed Use Corridor District (“DE”); some uses currently available in DE may not be available in all of the T4, T5, and T6 subclassifications, in order to provide reasonable transitions between areas of different density and different street types. The DE-SIA regulations are proposed to implement the recommendations, goals and objectives of the Strategic Investment Area Plan (2013) and the Streets That Work Design Guidelines (2016) within the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. ZM19-10-02 - (To establish boundaries of a new zoning district, “DE-SIA” and classifications of property within the new district) – A proposed amendment to the Zoning Map adopted and incorporated as part of the City’s Zoning Ordinance pursuant to Section 34-1 of the Code of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, to identify individual parcels of land proposed for inclusion within a new overlay zoning district named the “Downtown Extended Strategic Investment Area” (“DE-SIA”), subject to regulations set forth within proposed zoning text amendment ZT19-10-02.
