The Comprehensive Land Use Map for this area calls for Low Density Residential. The applicants are proposing a rezoning to PUD to accommodate a plan for two new buildings containing 50 apartments for age-restricted senior housing, along with landscaping, a new vehicular access point and 54 new parking spaces. Prior to submitting an application to the City, PHA and partners are looking for feedback from the Planning Commission and surrounding neighborhood. On August 12, 2021 the applicants held a community meeting with adjacent property owners to receive feedback on the proposed development at 1200 Park Street. Concerns raised by the public included increased traffic, adequacy of provided parking, and preservation of existing trees, sidewalks and trails on-site.

We’ve pursued a PUD application on this property so we can provide more specific information about the proposed senior housing. Does the PC agree that the PUD is the best zoning designation for the proposed concept vs a conventional R3 zoning? 2. Our team will likely ask for a critical slope waiver to be able to improve sightlines at the intersection of Cutler and Park Street. Would the PC have any misgivings about a critical slope waiver language to help with grading around some of the new housing buildings at the north end of the buildable area? 3. The neighborhood has expressed concerns about cut through traffic from the senior housing on North and Wilder. Does the PC agree that a right out only from the new housing and improving sightlines at Park Street / Cutler intersection would mitigate the potential impact of traffic generated by the new housing? 4. Does the proposed application plan allow for the church and preschool uses to expand in the future without amending the rezoning? 5. Given the extensive critical slopes along the Park St. frontage and the intent to create pedestrian connections internal to the site, would the PC be supportive of the applicant seeking a sidewalk waiver from City Council? 6. The project would like to establish a formal connection between the existing trails on the subject property and the Rivanna Trail. Does the PC have a preference about the arrangement; would a dedication of a public easement to the city with easement to RTF for improvements and maintenance be most desirable? Attachments A.

At its founding, a vision for an intergenerational center for community inspired the early church leaders to imagine buildings and outdoor spaces where the church community could gather with neighbors.

Successive Church members and leaders did not lose sight of the importance of intergenerational ministries that would serve not only the people who call the church home, but to provide a welcome table to the Locust Grove community in which it sits. The Church’s first foray in offering services and support to the broader community began in 1998 when a committed group had a vision to serve the community by offering an affordable full-day Christian preschool. This preschool has become the Church’s largest ministry, impacting generations of children throughout Charlottesville. The enrollment averages 25-28 students, with a 1 to 10 student/teacher ratio. The ministry is thriving, but the old building that houses it is not. Recently, the Church revisited its long-held vision of an intergenerational PIED MON T HOUSING campus after a variety of inquiries and studies. Two factors caused the ALLI A NCE Church to take action to realize this vision.

The three parcels consist of approximately 9.3 acres with road frontage on Park Street and Route 250. The Comprehensive Land Use Map for this area calls for Low Density Residential. The applicants are proposing a rezoning to PUD to accommodate a plan for a mix of apartments, townhomes and duplexes, non-residential childcare space, and 147 parking spaces. Prior to submitting an application to the City, PHA and partners are looking for feedback from the Planning Commission and surrounding neighborhood. On August 12, 2021 the applicants held a community meeting with adjacent property owners to receive feedback on the proposed Page 1 of 5 development on this site. Concerns raised by the public included increased traffic, questions over allowed non-commercial uses, and preservation of existing landscaping and trails on-site.

The development team anticipates some improvement to the former Rock Hill driveway area / loop to serve bike-ped connections to 250 sidewalk in the future. The existing historic driveway/loop may not meet all current City standards for slope for bike trails and/or shared multimodal paths. What latitude can the PUD be granted to allow the development team to provide these important connections to the broader bike network without significantly altering the historic shape / configuration of the existing driveway loop / stone walls, etc? 2. The current design shows an atypical City Street path to/through a double loaded parking tray at the area between Buildings 1 and 2. What latitude can the PUD provide for this atypical street configuration (through a parking lot) to be accepted into the City’s street network? 3. Does the alignment of MACAA Drive and Davis Avenue along with sight line improvements to the intersection looking north properly address any concerns regarding traffic impacts at this area? 4. Is the proposal consistent with the goals of the draft Comprehensive Plan and with the Future Land Use Map proposing the subject property as Neighborhood Mixed Use Node? Does the arrangement of the housing types, with single-family detached on Park closest to the existing neighborhoods, with single-family attached and townhomes further into the development, with 3-story multi-family deepest into the interior adequately integrate the development into the existing residential community? 5. The project would like to provide public easements over the trails, connecting from Park to the public sidewalks, down to the multi-modal trail on the Bypass. Does the PC agree that a dedication of a public easement to the city would be desirable? 6. CAT Route 11 runs infrequently with no Sunday service; would the PC support increased service down Park Street? 7. The development team is working with MACAA to determine the best location for a future boundary line adjustment. Are there any concerns from the PC as to where a future property line might be drawn?
