ZMA202200002 Sieg Property Rezoning

Summary

The Albemarle County Planning Commission is considering a rezoning request for a 62.46-acre property located at 616 Gold Eagle Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22903. The proposal seeks to rezone the property from R1 Residential and HC Highway Commercial to NMD Neighborhood Model District, allowing for a maximum of 600 dwelling units and up to 440,000 sq.ft. of non-residential uses. The request is largely consistent with the land use and density recommendations of the Southern & Western Neighborhoods Master Plan and provides new transportation improvements, including transit stops and a 10’ wide multi-use path. However, staff notes that student enrollment at Red Hill Elementary and Monticello High School are overcapacity and the development would add a projected 54 elementary and 48 high school students, contributing to the current overcapacity enrollment.
