This discussion should take into account the following: Draft Land Use Chart - Originally, the commission created a very detailed chart which was used to refine the map. Those details were used to create a general narrative which was used to help explain the categories in the Spring 2018 public meetings. Additional research has shown that height bonuses proposed on this draft chart will not have the outcome thought initially. The draft chart is attached with comments from the Attorney’s office. The overall feedback is that the data on this chart is too detailed for the land use map in the comp plan but will inform the needed data. The following questions need consideration moving forward: “Intensity” is generally the level of activity at a site • What does low, medium and high intensity residential mean? Think about this in terms of a description of what each looks like as well as a numeric range (unit of measure). This needs to include absolute minimum, absolute maximum density ranges, and general uses. • What does low, medium and high intensity commercial mean? • Would the Commission be willing to consider Floor Area Ratio (FAR) as a potential unit of measure for commercial and high intensity residential areas? The Attorney’s office has provided additional background materials on considerations for basic land use categories, data showing existing height and density and materials from the Washington DC Land Use Plan which will provide helpful background. Draft Land Use Map - The Commission has expressed interest in many items including the following: 1. Neighborhood Amenity areas, 2. Housing Needs, 3. Areas of Activity with Transportation connections. 1 • The “neighborhood amenity” circles were removed prior to the Spring 2018 Community meetings. Should this element be placed on the map? What is guidance on the title as well as the general parameters for this element? • Does the commission continue to support the areas of activity at the main entry points to the City? • Are the transitions proposed on the map between higher and lower intensity the correct size? If not, what changes are needed? There is housing data available which presents community needs. This information should be taken into account as the commission reviews the draft map. 2 D R A F T Stonefield Meadow Greenbrier Creek Valley Greenbrier Park ek R iv re C an ow na d ea Ri M ve r Meadowcreek Gardens & Disc Golf Walker Charlottesville High School Pen Park Greenleaf YMCA Park M McIntire ea Barracks Road ow d Shopping Center Park C re ek Northeast Park Washington Park Jackson P.

Future Land Use map Key DRAFT Updated October 31, 2017 November 28, 2017 November 29, 2017 December 8, 2017 December 11, 2017 ity !ttorney’s Office omments, provided 10/23/2018: (1) This chart is too complicated, for purposes of a “key” to a omp Plan FLUP (Future Land Use Plan) map. It could be a helpful tool, if the task were determining how to write a zoning ordinance to implement a comprehensive plan’s Future Land Use Map/ If this is the level of detail you’re trying to incorporate into the FLUP, it’s getting too far down-in-the-weeds. (2) The Comp Plan FLUP is supposed to be a general guidance document. It should identify broad categories of development anticipated in coming years, and should a simple color-code to identify what is meant by the land-use- category/ Typically. “Residential” refers to residential-only use/ development- “commercial” refers to office, retail, hotel, etc/ development- “industrial” refers to high-intensity commercial activity, where something is either being manufactured and trucked in and out, or there is a substantial level of storage, warehousing, shipping, etc/ going on- and “mixed use” refers to areas in which combinations of those uses (within an urban context) are anticipated. Mixed Use has become the anticipated type of development in much of the city, outside traditional suburban-type neighborhoods like Greenbrier. Generally, it should NOT show categories with references to any particular zoning districts—ONLY very general categories of uses and GENERAL ranges of intensity. (3) For each Land Use category, only a general, !SI, description of “uses” is needed, and we should be identifying. (a) what do you mean by “intensity”, and (b) and a GENERAL range (and unit of measurement) of “intensity”/ In the FLUP, you do NOT need to decide what’s by-right, what’s by SUP, and what’s a “bonus”/ You should be looking at the big picture. absolute minimum, absolute maximum density ranges, and GENERAL uses. Later, in establishing updated zoning regulations, you can review your specific use matrix, building heights/ setbacks, etc. (4) Use of Dwelling units per acre (DUA) as a measure of intensity for high-density residential and Mixed Use Development has not been working well. The DU! specified in our various zoning districts can’t be understood with reference to any provisions in the current Comp Plan. Also, since 2008 (the last time the zoning ordinance was updated) many people have been commenting that DUA is no longer a useful or meaningful measure of the impact developments are having on the built environment. I advise and encourage everyone to begin considering—at least for high-density residential, Mixed Use, and Commercial areas—switching to the use of FAR as an intensity measure/ indicator.
