Applicable City Code Provisions: Chapter 34 (Zoning Ordinance) of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, Section 34-420, 34-480, and 34-796 Use Matrixes, Section 34-1200, and Article IX. Generally Applicable Regulations, Division 9. Standards for Provisional Use Executive Summary This is a proposed zoning text amendment to provide updates to the use matrices, definitions and add a new section to the zoning ordinance to provide revisions for the Family day home use. The draft code presented with this report is updated from the draft presented to the Planning Commission on September 9, 2020 and provides for the following changes from the current ordinance: • Updates to the Use Matrixes to allow family day home (1-4 children) as a by-right use in all zoning districts which allow residential occupancy and to allow family day home (5-12 children) as a provisional use in all other districts which allow for residential occupancy. • Update Section 34-1200: Definitions under “family day home” to confirm that the residential use must be lawfully established prior to an allowance for the family day home use. • Update Section 34-1200: Definitions under “Occupancy, residential” to clarify that the family day home (1-4 children) use is considered residential occupancy. • Add a Section to Article IX. Generally Applicable Regulations, Division 9. Standards for Provisional Use to provide regulations for family day home (5-12 children) by provisional use. • Staff provided updated language to the hours of operation provision based on Planning Commission comments on September 9, 2020. Background At the July 2020 Planning Commission meeting, the following Zoning Text Amendment request was 1 initiated: A Zoning Text Initiation to make family day homes for up to 12 children by right uses in all zoning districts and exempt them from off street parking requirements, and to also ask staff to develop standard drop off and pick up code to ensure safety given this change. In addition, make all efforts to administratively speed up childcare applications. Staff took two different routes for review of this item including state and local actions. Ms. Robertson contacted the City Council’s legislative subcommittee about this matter and worked to develop more specific recommendations for Delegate Hudson and Senator Deeds, as to which of the state regulations the City contemplates might be most easily [and safely] relaxed during COVID. Though legislative items must come from Council directly, this is likely an item to receive their support. In addition, Ms. Robertson put together an informational/ background memo for the PC and council subcommittee on this issue which was sent on July 22, 2020. The request for changes required at the state level has been submitted and feedback is forthcoming. In addition to state level consideration, staff reviewed the city code provisions and state code updates and drafted language for consideration that would bring our local ordinance up to date and provide for additional allowances for larger family day homes. Please note that any state code requirement currently in place is allowable regardless of the outdated language we have in the current city code. Staff provided draft ordinance language for discussion at the September 9, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. It provided for compliance with the number of children per state code, allowances for family day home in all areas allowing for residential use and provisional use permit requirements for Family Day Home (5-12 children). The Commission provided feedback and it was requested that language updates for hours of operations be provided. Study Period and Public Hearing The Planning Commission initiated the proposed text amendment in July 2020. There is no required timeframe per the code for moving this item forward for City Council review. Standard of Review As per §34-42 of the City Code, if initiated, the planning commission shall review and study each proposed amendment to determine: (1) Whether the proposed amendment conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the comprehensive plan; (2) Whether the proposed amendment will further the purposes of this chapter and the general welfare of the entire community; (3) Whether there is a need and justification for the change; and (4) When pertaining to a change in the zoning district classification of property, the effect 2 of the proposed change, if any, on the property itself, on surrounding property, and on public services and facilities. In addition, the commission shall consider the appropriateness of the property for inclusion within the proposed zoning district, relating to the purposes set forth at the beginning of the proposed district classification. Proposed Zoning Text Change A proposed amendment to the text of Chapter 34 (Zoning Ordinance) of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, to provide updates to family day home uses to include Section 34-420, 34-480, and 34-796 Use Matrixes to allow family day home (1-4 children) as a by-right use in all zoning districts which allow residential use, to allow family day home (5-12 children) as a provisional use in all districts which allow for residential use, to update Section 34-1200: Definitions under “Family day home” to confirm a lawfully established residential use prior to implementing a family day home and under “Occupancy, residential” to clarify that the family day home (1-4 children) use is considered residential occupancy, and to add a Section to Article IX. Generally Applicable Regulations, Division 9. Standards for Provisional Use to provide regulations for family day home (5-12 children) by provisional use. The purpose of the amendments is to provide updates to family day home use which comply with current State code requirements and provide allowances for provisional use permit requirements for Family day home (5-12 children). A copy of the language is included with this report. Standard of Review Analysis 1. Whether the proposed amendment conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the comprehensive plan; The 2013 Comprehensive Plan provides provisions for updating regulations to support uses that provide for economic vitality. Goal 5 of the Land Use Chapter: Explore progressive and innovative land use, design standards and zoning regulations to accomplish the City’s vision Goal 1 of the Economic Sustainability Chapter: Create an Entrepreneurial environment that fosters the creation and success of businesses Objective 1.5 Work strategically to continue to develop and implement land use policies and regulations that ensure the availability of sites for business to locate and expand. 2. Whether the proposed amendment will further the purposes of this chapter and the general welfare of the entire community; The purposes of Chapter 34 of the City Code (Zoning Ordinance) would be furthered by providing the updates and additional provisions for the Family day home use. The changes would allow for a compressed, less costly and more predictable process for obtaining city approval for family day home (5-12 children) while providing for similar oversight. 3 3. Whether there is a need and justification for the change; The current city code pertaining to Family day home is not in alignment with the state code provisions and these changes would allow for that update. Please note that any state code requirement currently in place is allowable regardless of the outdated language in the current city code. This would also broaden the locations where this use can be considered. In addition, larger family day homes must currently go through a special use permit process which is long and costly and a provisional use permit process would streamline that yet provide for similar oversight and public engagement requirements. 4. When pertaining to a change in the zoning district classification of property, the effect of the proposed change, if any, on the property itself, on surrounding property, and on public services and facilities. This proposal is not specific to an individual parcel. Family day home (1-4 children) is an allowable use in any area that allows for residential occupancy. The proposal would allow our code to reflect that correctly. There would be some expanded areas provided for Family day home (5-12 children) but as part of the state code requirements for this use, there is a public notification requirement so a public engagement element remains in addition to the other requirements outlined in the provisional use permit. These larger Family day homes are required to have state licensure and therefore have oversight at more than one level. Public Comment Staff has not received any comments on the proposal at this time. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed zoning text amendment. Suggested Motions 1. “I move to recommend approval of this zoning text amendment to the text of Chapter 34 (Zoning Ordinance) of the City of Charlottesville, 1990, as amended, to provide updates to family day home uses to include Section 34-420, 34-480, and 34-796 Use Matrixes to allow family day home (1-4 children) as a by-right use in all zoning districts which allow residential use, to allow family day home (5-12 children) as a provisional use in all districts which allow for residential use, to update Section 34- 1200: Definitions under “Family day home” to confirm a lawfully established residential use prior to implementing a family day home and under “Occupancy, residential” to clarify that the family day home (1-4 children) use is considered residential occupancy, and to add a Section to Article IX.

(TMP 230133000), and 0 Grove St. Ext. (TMP 230133000) (Subject Property) outside the current by-right land use designation. The Subject Property is approximately 0.65 acres with road frontage on Valley Road Ext. and Grove Street Ext. (Grove Street Ext is a platted but unimproved right-of-way). The Comprehensive Land Use Map for this area calls for Low Density Residential. Low Density Residential is described as land occupied by single or two- family types of housing. The density in these areas by-right should be no greater than 15 units per acre. Prior to moving the plan forward to a Community Meeting and Public Hearing, the applicant is requesting feedback from the Planning Commission on the proposed plan. The proposal calls for a twenty (20) unit residential development within four (4) individual buildings. The development would have eight (8) four (4) bedroom units, and twelve (12) two (2) bedroom units for a total of fifty-six (56) bedrooms. Twenty-eight (28) parking spaces would be required by code for a development at this count and the max height would not exceed forty- five (45) feet. To achieve the type of development proposed within the application materials, the applicant will need to:  Rezone the Subject Property from R-2 to R-3  Receive a Special Use Permit to increase density and adjust setbacks  Receive a Critical Slope Waiver to impact critical slopes on site Page 1 of 6 *Existing R-2 RZ to R-3 RZ to R-3 with SUP Density 6 total units (each unit can 13 total units (each unit can 20 total units (8 four have 4 unrelated for a total have 4 unrelated for a total bedroom and 12 two of 24 bedrooms) of 52 bedrooms) bedroom for a total of No DUA 21DUA 56 bedrooms) 30 DUA Height 35’ Max 45’ Max 42’ per application materials Setbacks Front: 25’ Front: 25: Front: 25’ Sides: 20’ for the corner Sides: 20’ for the corner North Side: 5’ lot and a minimum of 5’ (North) side and 50’ for the South Side: 14’ depending of dwelling side (South) and back Back: 25’ type adjacent to low-density Back: 25’ residential. (Sec. 34-353(b)(4)) Lot Not Applicable 75% Max 80% Max Coverage Parking 6 spaces minimum (1 per This would depend on the 28 spaces minimum unit) number of bedrooms, but 13 minimum. *The analysis for the existing R-2 uses the 3 lots as platted and assumes road improvements to Grove St. Ext. for access. Proposed Discussion points for the Planning Commission: 1. Is this location appropriate for the proposed density and housing type? 2. Is the existing infrastructure (Valley Road Ext.) adequate to handle a development at this density? 3. What could be the environmental impacts to Rock Creek? 4. If rezoned, what would reasonable preliminary conditions be for the SUP?

The properties are located within the Fifeville Neighborhood and are included in the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft. The CSX railroad runs parallel to the properties’ north boundaries. Project Proposal: Lorven Investments, LLC is the owner (the “owner”) of tax map parcels 23-133, 23-134 and 23-135 in the City of Charlottesville (collectively, the “property”). On behalf of the owner, we request a rezoning and special use permit to allow for a cluster of neighborhood scale multi-family buildings with a total of 20 residential units on the property. To realize this housing opportunity, we request to rezone the property from Two-family Residential (R-2) to Multi-family Residential (R-3). Concurrent with the rezoning request, we request a special use permit for additional residential density of up to 31 dwelling units per acre to allow for medium density multi-family residential uses. To accommodate a multi-family development on the property, the existing interior boundary lines will be vacated to create one .66 acre parcel (the “new parcel”). In conjunction with the special use permit request, and in accordance with modifications allowed by Sec. 34-162, we request a reduction of the northern side setback (adjacent to the unimproved portion of Grove St. Ext) of the new parcel to 5’ and for an exception from Sec.34-353(B)(4) which requires the distance between the façade of a multifamily dwelling having between 22-43 DUA and the boundary of any low density residential district to be 50 feet. We propose a cluster of four (4) neighborhood-scale multi-family buildings that in total will house 20 residential units. The buildings will be organized on the property in a skewed quadrant and will be constructed on the site to create different areas of outdoor leisure and recreation space between and around the buildings. Each building will have five (5) units, with three of the units in each building being two bedroom units and two of the units being four bedroom units. Parking is provided on site, in accordance with City parking requirements, to serve the needs of future residents. The buildings are designed to relegate the parking from Valley Road Extended and most of the parking spaces are Attachment B accommodated underneath the overhang of the buildings, limiting the amount of impervious surface on- site required to accommodate both the residential units and the required parking areas. The site, including the banks of Rock Creek is currently overtaken with Kudzu, an invasive species, and the preliminary site plan included with this special use permit request demonstrates a native replanting design along the banks that will contribute to a robust canopy and green screen along Valley Road Extended. The buildings are proposed at a height of 42’ and will not exceed 45’ in height, the maximum by-right allowance for the R-3 Residential Zoning District. The property is bordered by R-2 zoned properties which are subject to a maximum height of 35’. Just across the railroad right-of-way, just north of the property, there are B-1 and UHD zoned properties which have a maximum height of 45’ and 50’ respectively. Although the maximum height in the R-3 district is 10’ taller than the by-right height in the R-2 district, the grade of the property will greatly contribute to mitigating the 10’ height differential between with existing and proposed zoning district on the property. The property sits at a lower elevation than most of its surrounding context; the proposed finish floor elevation of the buildings is between 436’ and 438’. The finished floor elevation of the structures to the east is approximately 462’, the finished floor elevation of the structures to the south is approximately 442’, the approximate floor elevations of the properties opposite Valley St. are 440’, and the ridge of the adjacent railroad right-of-way is 479’. The project design will establish: 1) A neighborhood-scale multi-family housing development with off-street parking in close proximity to major regional employers 2) Greenspace and green screens, providing open space for future residents that is inviting and supports the enhancement of Rock Creek, and 3) Intentional recreational areas for residents that encourage outdoor leisure and play 4) Sidewalk improvements along the new parcel frontage along Valley Rd Ext that ultimately may be incorporated into a more robust pedestrian and bicycle improvements network if the multi-use tunnel under the railroad right-of-way, as called for in the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, is realized in the future Public Need or Benefit The Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Analysis completed by Partners for Economic Solutions in 2019 states in the executive summary that, “over the past two decades, housing prices in Planning District 10 have increased rapidly as new construction failed to keep pace with the increase in demand at all but the highest rent and price levels.” 1 This proposed project will contribute to the “missing middle” housing stock and help to meet demand for housing in Charlottesville City limits. Surrounding Uses: The new parcel will have frontage on Valley Road Extended. The property is bordered by two family residential structures to the east and south and by an unimproved section of Grove St. Ext and CSX railroad right of way to the north. Directly north of the CSX ROW is property owned by the University of Virginia that is subject to the “Brandon Avenue Master Plan.” 1 “Comprehensive Regional Housing Study and Needs Analysis.” Partners for Economic Solutions. March 22, 2019 Grove St. Ext Narrative 2 Attachment B Several bus stops are located along Cherry Avenue, which intersects with Valley Road Extended, with one in particular being located at the corner of Cherry Avenue and Valley Road Extended. Updates to Charlottesville’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan recommend a proposed greenway underpass and multi-use trail immediately adjacent to the property which would create more pedestrian friendly connectivity between Fifeville and other Charlottesville neighborhoods. The Fifeville neighborhood boasts 3 city-maintained parks, has an abundance of green space and trees on its local neighborhood streets, and is known for its small-town character that makes it unique from other neighborhoods around the City of Charlottesville. We believe this design proposes density at a neighborhood scale and will contribute to the small-town character of Fifeville once complete. R-3 Justification The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the R-3 zoning district which states, “The purpose of the multifamily residential zoning district is to provide areas for medium- to high-density residential development” and that R-3 consists, “of medium-density residential areas in which medium- density residential developments, including multifamily uses, are encouraged.” This project proposes a medium density multi-family development, consistent with the intent of the R-3 district. Development of the property aligns with the goals and opportunities of the Fifeville Neighborhood as outlined in the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft. The Land Use Chapter of the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan states, “There is also concern that the existing land use and zoning policies lack a focus on smart, intentional growth. The largely single-family zoning is also a challenge for increasing affordable housing in the neighborhood”, and that, “The City’s Comprehensive Plan update is an opportunity to reexamine current zoning and implement change” (Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft, 10). The multifamily development on Grove Street Extended could be an opportunity to address the challenge of meeting housing demand in the largely single-family zoning district in the Fifeville neighborhood. A medium-density multi-family development would not be out of character in this neighborhood, especially as it is located on a corner lot at the edge of the Fifeville neighborhood and will be designed in a manner to complement, and not overshadow the existing neighborhood context. The front setback is consistent with the surrounding building setbacks and the buildings are designed to be set in to the topography of the site, which largely works to screen the proposed development from surrounding two family dwellings. Generous green screens will be planted at the edges of the property which will contribute to a robust landscape program on the site, adding to the tree canopy in the neighborhood while providing sufficient privacy for future residents. This will ensure that the tree and green space character of the neighborhood local streets will not only be preserved but enhanced. Furthermore, updates to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan indicate a proposed greenway underpass at the end of Valley Road Extended going under the railroad tracks immediately adjacent to the property. There also appears to be a proposed multi-use pathway running along the railroad tracks (although it is unclear in the map which side of the tracks it is meant to be on). This proposed underpass and multi-use trail will eventually connect the Jefferson Park Avenue neighborhood to Fifeville, and Fifeville to the greater Charlottesville area, making the property an ideal location to house a multi-family development in close proximity to the multitude of job opportunities at UVA and the UVA Health System that are located within walking distance of the proposed development. Residents of the Fifeville neighborhood expressed in the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft that they do not want to see huge apartment buildings (like those on Main Street) constructed in their neighborhood—this medium-density multi-family development will not tower over Fifeville and cast a Grove St. Ext Narrative 3 Attachment B “shadow” as the taller construction surrounding the neighborhood does. No current residents will be directly displaced as a result of this development as the property is currently vacant. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The property is located within the Western portion of the Fifeville Neighborhood and is located on the Western-most edge of the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft. The property fronts an unimproved portion of Grove Street Extended and extends along Valley Road Extended. Rock Creek is located on the western edge of tax map parcel 23-135, parallel to Valley Road Extended. Although this area is designated as Low-Density Residential on the future land use map, the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan Draft encourages re-examination of allowable uses in the zoning code and exploration of methods to increase the number of affordable housing options in low-density portions of the neighborhood. Additionally, as this portion of the neighborhood is zoned for and consists of two- family residential (R-2) properties, an increase of density to medium-density multi-family (R-3) would not be out of character. A zoning map amendment for this property will contribute to the enhancement of housing options in the neighborhood and this proposed design contributes to protecting the character of the area. This rezoning will achieve the intent of several of the City’s housing goals including: creating quality housing opportunities for all and growing the City’s housing stock for residents of all income levels. The higher density may serve the community as a mixed-income multi-family development with convenient access to both UVA and future Cherry Avenue developments. The development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in the following ways: Chapter 1 Land Use • Goal 5.5 Revise the Future Land Use Map so that it represents the desired vision for the City’s future. Pay special attention to increasing the supply of affordable housing, increasing employment opportunities for all citizens, and encourage the development of mixed income neighborhoods throughout the City. A medium-density multi-family development on the property will bring a greater variety of housing units and contribute to a neighborhood of even more mixed income. Chapter 4 Environment • Goal 2: Promote practices throughout the City that contribute to a robust urban forest. The preliminary site plan included with this rezoning request shows a landscape plan that would add a variety of native trees and plants to the site along the banks of Rock Creek, along the borders of the property, and internally in parking and recreational areas. • Goal 4: Improve public and private stormwater infrastructure while protecting and restoring stream ecosystems. The proposed development will adhere to all local and state stormwater regulations. A native planting stream buffer is proposed along the banks of Rock Creek which will help to contribute to the restoration of the stream ecosystem. At present, the banks of the stream are unprotected from stromwater runoff and are overtaken by invasive plant species. Chapter 5 Housing • Goal 3: Grow the City’s housing stock for residents of all income levels. A medium-density multi-family development on this property is an opportunity to incorporate more housing options Grove St. Ext Narrative 4 Attachment B throughout the City and help the City attain its goal of achieving a mixture of incomes and uses in as many areas of the City as possible. Impacts on Public Facilities & Public Infrastructure: American Community Survey (ACS) 5 year estimates indicate the average household size in Charlottesville is 2.38 people 2.Using the ACS average, a multi-family development with a maximum of 20 proposed units could potentially yield 48 new residents within Police District 7 and Ridge Street Station Fire District. Despite the additional density trips generated by the development are expected to be minimal, and thus will not greatly impact congestion on Cherry Avenue, which is a concern expressed in the Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan. A CAT bus stop is located a short distance from the property at the intersections of Cherry Avenue and Valley Road Extended and the development intends to provide bike lockers for residents. It is expected that these two alternative transportation methods will lower the already low trip estimate. The Charlottesville Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan has other pedestrian-friendly infrastructure proposed (the afore mentioned greenway tunnel and multi-use pathway) that will connect Fifeville and the immediate property to Charlottesville, encouraging even more pedestrian trips in the future. Impacts on Schools: This property lies within the Johnson Elementary School district. After attending neighborhood elementary schools, all Charlottesville students attend Walker Upper Elementary School, Buford Middle School, and Charlottesville High School. ACS 2018 5 year estimates show that there are an estimated 4,800 residents between the ages of 5-17 within City limits.3 By dividing this estimate by the number of occupied housing units in the city, 18,613, it can be approximated that there are approximately .26 children per housing unit in Charlottesville. 4 Since 20 units are proposed on the site, it is estimated there will be an additional five school-aged children within the development. Impacts on Environmental Features: All design and engineering for improving the property will comply with applicable City and State regulations for erosion and sediment control and stormwater management. Rock Creek (located at the western portion of tax map parcel 23-135) will be protected during and after construction. Compliance with USBC Regulations: The proposed project will comply with all applicable USBC regulations. 2 ACS 2013-2017 5 YR Estimates Table B25010 “Average Household Size of Occupied Housing Units by Tenure” 3 ACS 2018 5 YR Estimates Table DP05 “ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates” 4 ACS 2018 5 YR Estimates Table DP04 “Selected Housing Characteristics” Grove St. Ext Narrative 5 Attachment C PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN 1613 GROVE STREET TAX MAP 23, PARCEL 133, 134, 135 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA LEGEND OWNER/DEVELOPER BUILDING HEIGHTS VICINITY MAP SCALE : 1"=1000' Lorven Investments, LLC Maximum Allowable: 45' 4776 Walbern Court EXISTING NEW DESCRIPTION Chantilly, VA 20151 EXISTING USE BOUNDARIES ZONING Vacant BENCHMARK R-2 Residential; R-3 rezoning application submitted in conjunction with the preliminary site plan PROPOSED USE SITE PROPERTY LINE 4 apartment buildings - total 20 units ADJACENT PROPERTY LINE SETBACKS Residential density of 30 DUA Per R-3 setback regulations: SITE BUILDING SETBACK FRONT MINIMUM: 25' SIDE MINIMUM: 14'* LAND USE SCHEDULE PARKING SETBACK REAR MINIMUM: 25' EXISTING Area % SITE TEXT *Northern side setback to be reduced to 5'; SP submitted in conjunction with the preliminary site plan Building 0 SF 00.0% Pavement 0 SF 00.0% PARKING COUNT TOPOGRAPHY SOURCE OF TITLE Sidewalk Open space 0 SF 0.0% 28,401.12 SF 100.0% DB 2020 PG 578 Total= 28,401.12 SF (0.652 ac.)
