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 new form-based zoning regulations) – A proposed amendment to the text of Chapter 34 (Zoning Ordinance) of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, to add a new division within Article VI (Mixed Use Corridor Districts) containing provisions regulating the use of land, buildings, structures and other premises within the area outlined on the city’s official zoning map and identified as being within the Downtown Extended Strategic Investment Area (“DE-SIA”) ; regulating the size, height, area, bulk, location, alteration, repair, construction, maintenance or removal of buildings and structures within the DE-SIA; and regulating the areas and dimensions of land and air space to be occupied by buildings, structures and uses, and areas of land for courts, yards and other open spaces to be left unoccupied by uses and structures, within the DE-SIA. The new division contains regulations generally applicable within the DE-SIA as well as regulations specific to three zoning district subclassifications: 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). Currently all of the land within the DE-SIA is classified as the Downtown Extended Mixed Use zoning district (DE-MU), in which up to four stories of building height are allowed by right (with up to 5 bonus stories allowed for a mixed use building). Throughout the 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; there are no restrictions on dwelling units per acre and no minimum lot size requirements for single-family dwellings (SFD). The current DE-MU regulations restrict residential density by specifying limits on dwelling units per acre (DUA)(43 DUA, max., and 21 DUA, min. for multifamily) and by lot size regulations applicable to SFD. The uses allowed within the proposed DE-SIA district are the same as those currently allowed within the current DE-MU District. The DE-SIA regulations implement the recommendations, goals and objectives of the Strategic Investment Area Plan (2013) and the Streets That Work Design Guidelines (2016), both of which are components of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. ZM19-10-02 - (To amend the City’s official zoning map to define boundaries of a new zoning district, “DE-SIA” and to classify land within the DE-SIA into three sub-classifications) – 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 zoning district named the “Downtown Extended Strategic Investment Area” (“DE-SIA”) and to classify all such parcels further into subclassifications (T4, T5 and T6) all subject to regulations set forth within proposed zoning text amendment ZT19-10-02. The proposed DE-SIA district and the T4, T5 and T6 subclassifications, are proposed to be applied to individual lots, as follows (lots are identified by address, or by tax map/ parcel number where no address is assigned to a lot): DE-SIA-T4: 201-239 Elliott Ave; 205 & 209 Monticello Road; 400-426 Garrett Street; 703, 705, 707,709, 711, 713, 715, 717, 719, 735, 737, & 741 Graves Street; and 715, 905, 909 & 915 6th Street SE DE-SIA-T5: Tax Map Parcels (TMP) 280113C00 & 280113B00 located on 4th Street SE; TMPs 280103000, 280128A00, 280113001 & 280143001 located on Garrett Street; TMP 580125000 located on Monticello Road; 100, 110, 201, 215, 310 & 405 Avon Street; 102, 104, & 105 Oak Street; 105-111 & 201 Monticello Avenue; 126, 140, 200, 400-426, 505 Garrett Street; 201-239 Elliott Avenue; 203, 204, 211, 214, 218, 300, 304-308, & 307 Ridge Street; 300, 310-322 4th Street SE; 303-333, 310, 320, 455 & 522 2nd Street SE; 405 Levy Avenue; 618, 620, 624, 702, 710, 714, 716, 720, 722, 724, 734, 736, 738 & 740 1st Street South; 715 & 915 6th Street SE DE-SIA-T6: 201-239 Elliott Ave, 522 2nd Street SE (collectively, the “Subject Property”). This zoning map amendment will change the current zoning district classifications of the Subject Property from “Downtown Extended (DE) Mixed Use Corridor”, “West Main East (WME) Mixed-Use Corridor or “R-2”, as shown on the current Zoning Map, to “DE-SIA” and the applicable subclassification, as specified above. The general usage specified within the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the Subject Property is mixed-use; no density range is specified. Lots currently subject to the West Main Street and Downtown Design Control Overlay Districts, as specified on the City’s zoning map, will continue to be subject to those overlay district regulations.
