<hr />
<div>'''Galaxie Farm''' is a residential development between [[Avon Street Extended]] and Route 20 that is currently under construction. Developer [[Nicole Scro]] was the original developer. <br />
<br />
The [[Albemarle Board of Supervisors]] approved the project on [[December 4]], [[2019]]. <ref name="approval">{{cite-progress|title=Galaxie Farm residential development approved with fewer units|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/galaxie-farm-residential-development-approved-with-fewer-units/article_a4042be2-0d77-5cff-b45e-aaf8bb55eb1c.html|author=Allison Wrabel|pageno=A1|printdate=December 6, 2019|publishdate=December 6, 2019|accessdate=December 7, 2019}}</ref><br />

==Review process==<br />
At one point, Scro had asked the county for land for a connector road. A portion of the road is now eyed by [[Albemarle County Public Schools]] for one of their high school centers. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Albemarle School Board ready to settle Center II location|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/dailyprogress/albemarle-school-board-ready-to-settle-center-ii-location/article_483aa205-af36-53dd-987e-35f3b83fc5c2.html|author=Katherine Knott and Allison Wrabel|pageno=A1|printdate=November 13, 2019|publishdate=November 12, 2019|accessdate=November 14, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] recommended approval in October 2019. The specific request was a rezoning from R-1 zoning to Planned Residential Development. Scro had sought a maximum of 72 units, slightly over the [[Comprehensive Plan]] recommendation. The PC approval was based on 65 units. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Planning Commission recommends Galaxie Farm development|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/planning-commission-recommends-galaxie-farm-development/article_1a73edd5-9dd1-565f-8896-f60ee3e2b688.html|author=Allison Wrabel|pageno=|printdate=October 15, 2019|publishdate=October 15, 2019|accessdate=November 14, 2019}}</ref><br />

<div>'''Old Trail Village''' is a mixed-use community created by the [[Beights Corporation]] that is under construction in [[Crozet]]. Old Trail includes multiple sections built by multiple builders, a golf course, [[Old Trail Village Center|a shopping village]] and other amenities. <br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
<br />
The Albemarle Board of Supervisors uanimously approved a rezoning for Old Trail Village in Crozet on [[September 14]], [[2005]]. <ref>{{Minutes-boardofsupervisors|url=|when=September 14, 2005|documentid=7714|accessdate=March 28, 2024}}</ref><br />

<br />
A senior living facility called the [[The Lodge at Old Trail|Lodge at Old Trail]] opened in May 2012. <ref>{{cite web|title=About the Lodge|url=http://lodgeatoldtrail.com/index.php?id=about-lodge-old-trail|author=|work=|publisher=The Lodge at Old Trail|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=September 16, 2011}}</ref> <ref>{{cite-gazette|title=Flag Raising Ceremony Marks Opening of The Lodge|url=http://www.crozetgazette.com/2012/06/flag-raising-ceremony-marks-opening-of-the-lodge/|author=Mike Marshall|pageno=|printno=|printdate=June 7, 2012|publishdate=June 7, 2012|accessdate=June 12, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
County officials originally thought that Old Trail's primary audience would be older people without children, but actual demographics have caused concern that [[Brownsville Elementary School]] is not large enough to handle the demand for spaces. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Albemarle school redistricting panels developing options|url=http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/education/article_d7def080-3690-11e2-acac-001a4bcf6878.html|author=Aaron Richardson|pageno=|printdate=November 24, 2012|publishdate=November 24, 2012|accessdate=November 26, 2012|cturl=}}</ref><br />
<br />
In February 2016, the [[Board of Supervisors]] agreed to reduce the minimum number of units from 1,600 to 1,000. <ref>{{cite web|title=Old Trail Reduces Its Build-out Target|url=http://www.crozetgazette.com/2016/03/old-trail-reduces-its-build-out-target/|author=|work=News Article|publisher=Crozet Gazette|location=|publishdate=March 4, 2016|accessdate=December 31, 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Ownership change===<br />
Original owners included Jay and Suzanne Jessup as well as Gaylon and Justin Beights. The Beights retained a financial share in the project but are no longer active partners. The Jessups hired Manchester Capital Management LLC in May 2012 to revisit the master plan. At the time, Old Trail had a total build-out of 2,200. <ref>{{cite-gazette|title=New Management Takes Over Old Trail Development|url=http://www.crozetgazette.com/2012/06/new-management-takes-over-old-trail-development/|author=Mike Marshall|pageno=|printno=|printdate=June 7, 2012|publishdate=June 7, 2012|accessdate=March 28, 2024}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Sales==<br />
In 2009, the developer of Old Trail reported $18.9 million in sales, a 29% increase over the previous year. <ref>Old Trail Village, Annual Report, December 2009. Rep. Web. <http://www.oldtrailvillage.com/images/pdfs/OTV%20Report%20Annual_Release.pdf>.</ref><br />

In 2011, the Beights Corporation sold 84 homes for a total of $37.3 million in sales. <ref>{{cite web|title=2011 home sales up in Crozet's Old Trail Village|url=http://workitcville.com/2012/02/08/report-2011-home-sales-crozets-trail-village/|author=Nate Deseline III|work=Work It C'Ville|publisher=Media General|location=|publishdate=February 8, 2012|accessdate=February 9, 2012}}</ref> <br />
<br />
<br />
==Residential Units==<br />
<br />
The 2005 rezoning for Old Trail Village required developers to build between 1,600 and 2,200 residential units. In February 2016, the Board of Supervisors lowered the minimum number of units to 1,000 in light of changing market conditions.<ref>{{cite web|title=New commercial space coming to Old Trail, with mixed-use building expected in 2017|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/24621-new-commercial-space-coming-to-old-trail/|author=Tim Dodson|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 2, 2016|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Approximately 250 residential units have been built in Old Trail Village as of August 2016 and developers hope to build another 1,000 units over the coming years.<ref>{{cite web|title=New commercial space coming to Old Trail, with mixed-use building expected in 2017|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/24621-new-commercial-space-coming-to-old-trail/|author=Tim Dodson|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 2, 2016|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==Village Center==<br />
<br />
The Old Trail Village Center is the urban core of the community.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Old Trail|url=http://www.otvillagecenter.com/|author=|work=|publisher=Nest Property Management|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
The village center is currently home to 24,000 square feet of commercial space and 35 apartments.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Old Trail|url=http://www.otvillagecenter.com/|author=|work=|publisher=Nest Property Management|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> Its offering of businesses includes restaurants, healthcare professionals, real estate offices, and an ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center.<ref>{{cite web|title=Old Trail Businesses|url=http://oldtrailvillage.com/old-trail-businesses/|author=|work=|publisher=Old Trail Village|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />
<br />
A new phase of commercial space in the village center will be constructed north of the existing center along Old Trail Drive.<ref>{{cite web|title=New commercial space coming to Old Trail, with mixed-use building expected in 2017|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/24621-new-commercial-space-coming-to-old-trail/|author=Tim Dodson|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 2, 2016|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The new phase will be a 50,000 square foot, four-story building with retail on the first floor, office space on the second floor and 22 apartments on the third and fourth floors. Some potential tenants for the commercial space include a restaurant, a small grocery, a bike store and an outdoors store.<ref>{{cite web|title=New commercial space coming to Old Trail, with mixed-use building expected in 2017|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/24621-new-commercial-space-coming-to-old-trail/|author=Tim Dodson|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 2, 2016|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Construction on phase II will likely start fall 2016 and the spaces will open summer 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=New commercial space coming to Old Trail, with mixed-use building expected in 2017|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/24621-new-commercial-space-coming-to-old-trail/|author=Tim Dodson|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 2, 2016|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref> <br />

<div>==Why?==<br />
I made this today as part of an experiment to see how much I know about neighborhoods in Albemarle County. I'm doing this as part of a publication I'm making today in my newsletter on property transactions in Albemarle, and I'm looking for artwork. And it makes me wonder why all of the place names are called what they are called. I'm very interested in learning, so I'm going to document some of that on cvillepedia. <br />

'''Oak Lawn''' (also called [[Oak Grove]]) is a historic structure and property in Charlottesville's [[Fifeville]] neighborhood located at the southwest corner of 9th Street SW and Cherry Avenue. The [[University of Virginia]] purchased the property in October 2023 for $3.5 million people for future use by the medical system. <ref>{{cite-infocville|title=https://infocville.com/2023/10/18/uva-purchases-oak-lawn-property-for-undisclosed-sum/|url=https://infocville.com/2023/10/18/uva-purchases-oak-lawn-property-for-undisclosed-sum/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=|location=|publishdate=October 18, 2023|accessdate=November 19, 2023}}</ref><br />
<br />
Oak Lawn was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in [[1973]]. <ref name="nom">{{cite web|title=National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form - Fifeville and Tonsler Neighborhoods Historic District|url=https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/104-0213_Fifeville_Tonsler_HD_2008_FINAL_nom.pdf|author=Maral S.

<br />
[[Oak Grove]] was built in [[1822]] for [[Nimrod Bramham]], a merchant who served in the House of Delegates. The design and construction is attributed to [[James Dinsmore]], a Scotch-Irish master carpenter brought to Charlottesville by [[Jefferson|Thomas Jefferson]] to assist with the building of [[Monticello]] and later the [[University of Virginia]]. After Bramham’s death in [[1847]], [[Oak Lawn]] was sold to [[James Fife]], an influential Baptist minister who in [[1823]] helped organize the Baptist General Convention. Born in Scotland, Fife served as Richmond’s city engineer before moving to Charlottesville. Oak Lawn remained the home of Fife’s descendants <ref>https://www.charlottesville.org/home/showdocument?id=30035</ref> until 2023.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
The main building at Oak Lawn was constructed in [[1822]] for [[Nimrod Bramham]], a Charlottesville merchant and member of the Virginia House of Delegates. The design and construction of the two-story brick house were the product of [[James Dinsmore]]. When Bramham died in [[1847]], the property passed into the Fife family. Much of the property was subdivided in [[1888]] in the "Fife's Lots" project and developed into the neighborhood of Fifeville. <ref name="nom" /> <br />
<br />
Oak Lawn is one of Charlottesville's [[Individually Protected Properties|individually protected properties]], meaning any exterior changes or potential demolition would have to be approved by the [[Board of Architectural Review]]. The house is located at 501 Ninth Street, SW <ref>"Charlottesville : Architectural Design Control District and Individually Protected Property Information." Charlottesville : Home. Web. 16 Aug. 2010. <http://www.charlottesville.org/Index.aspx?page=812>.</ref>. <br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
Before UVA purchased the property, Oak Lawn was owned by former Charlottesville Mayor [[Nancy O'Brien]]. In June 2017, City Council approved an easement that would allow the Fife family access to a cemetery on the property when and if the property is sold. {{fact}} {{as of|2019|12|lc=on}} <br />
<br />
The property is adjacent to [[Buford Middle School]] at the corner of [[Cherry Avenue]] and [[Roosevelt Brown Boulevard]]. <br />
<br />
==The future under UVA Ownership==<br />
In February 2024, UVA issued a request for qualifications for firms interested in working on a planning study for the property. <ref>{{cite-infocville|title=UVA to begin planning process for Oak Lawn|url=https://infocville.com/2024/02/05/uva-to-begin-planning-process-for-oak-lawn/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=|location=|publishdate=February 5, 2024|accessdate=March 28, 2024}}</ref> <br />

<section begin=feature /><br />
[[File:20110801-BiscuitRun-zoom.jpg|thumb|500px|right]]<br />
'''Biscuit Run Park''' is a planned 1,200-acre park in [[Albemarle County]] on land that had been part of the [[designated growth area]]. When Commonwealth of Virginia purchased the property in 2009, the intent was to create a state park to be operated by the [[Department of Conservation and Recreation]] but [[Albemarle County]] will now program the park. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Biscuit Run rezoned as park land|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/biscuit-run-rezoned-as-park-land/article_13c203bd-aecc-596d-bb2f-d88a0b9fa2c7.html|author=Allison Wrabel|pageno=A6|printdate=December 6, 2019|publishdate=December 6, 2019|accessdate=December 7, 2019}}</ref> <br />

<br />
The land for the park was once intended for the large [[Biscuit Run (development)|Biscuit Run development]] as well as a 400-acre county park, but was purchased from the developer, [[Forest Lodge LLC]], by the Commonwealth for $21.48 million in cash and tax credits in January 2010.

<br />
==Implementation==<br />
After many years of planning, the implementation stage is expected to move forward in [[2021]] when Phase1A is complete. This has a budget of $2.17 million and design was expected to be completed by December 2021. <ref name="fes-fall-2020" /> <br />
<br />
===Phase 1A===<br />
As of January 2021, design work continues for an entrance into the park from Route 20 into a 75-space parking lot. Design work is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021. Staff are seeking a recreational access grant from the Virginia Department of Transportation. The project has a budget of $2.17 million. <br />
<br />
One designed, the project will need to go through the county's site plan review process as well as be reviewed under the Water Protection Ordinance. Phase1A has a "substantial completion" date of December 8, 2021. <ref>{{cite web|title=FES Quarterly Report - January 2021|url=https://albemarle.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9054800&GUID=F0EFDE21-C8D4-4992-85AE-3C8E17CB9907|author=|work=Quarterly Report|publisher=Albemarle County Department of Facilities and Environmental Services|location=|publishdate=January 2021|accessdate=January 20, 2021}}</ref> <ref name="fesq1-2021" /><br />

==History==<br />
===Master Planning for a State Park===<br />
The '''Biscuit Run State Park Master Plan Advisory Committee''' held several meetings to develop the park’s master plan, including an inventory of natural and cultural resources. <ref name="20110503-ct">{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run State Park goals and objectives refined in advance of public hearing|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/05/biscuit_run.html|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=May 3, 2011|accessdate=May 3, 2011}}</ref> This process concluded with a final public hearing on September 19, 2011. <ref>{{cite web|title=Albemarle increasing lobbying effort for new athletic fields|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/09/biscuit_run_athletic_fields.html|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=September 25, 2011|accessdate=September 26, 2011}}</ref><br />
The goal is to have a master plan in place by the end of 2011. <ref name="20110503-ct" /><br />
<br />
===Funding===<br />
It appeared for a brief time in February 2016 that the General Assembly would approve funding for the park. <ref>{{cite web|title=Senate committee to consider Biscuit Run State Park funding|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/22999-biscuit-run-funding/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 10, 2016|accessdate=December 29, 2016}}</ref> Governor Terry McAuliffe had requested that a bond package include $42 million for the park, but this was removed by finances committees in the General Assembly. <ref>{{cite web|title=Funding for Biscuit Run State Park eliminated from legislation|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/23045-no-biscuit-run-park/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 18, 2016|accessdate=December 29, 2016}}</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''Biscuit Run''' is a tract of land in [[Albemarle County]]'s [[Neighborhood 5]] [[designated growth area]], once intended for a development of the same name with 3,100 homes on 828 acres, as well as some retail and office uses. <br />
<br />
In December 2009, reports emerged that developer [[Forest Lodge LLC]] might donate the land to the Commonwealth of Virginia for a new state park. In January 2010 the land was designated for the future [[Biscuit Run State Park]] and the development was abandoned. <ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run may become state park|url=https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/biscuit_run_7/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=December 8, 2009|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==Development History==<br />
<br />
===Rezoning in September 2007===<br />
====Planning Commission initially recommends denial====<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] unanimously recommended denial of the rezoning on [[March 27]], [[2007]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run rejected unanimously|url=https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/biscuit_run_1/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=March 27, 2007|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}</ref> <br />
<br />
About eighty-five people attended the public hearing and about twenty-seven of them provided feedback when the Commission took public comment. Two residents expressed optimism and a positive opinion on the Biscuit Run development. Two adjoining property owners, the [[Covenant School]] and [[Habitat for Humanity]] (who acquired the Southwood neighborhood), also expressed their support for Biscuit Run. The remaining twenty-three speakers expressed a variety of concerns including transportation needs and traffic safety, environmental degradation, water and sewer infrastructure, and the general need for more detailed information on the plan before a decision is made.<br />
<br />
After the denial, the Board of Supervisors referred the development back to the Planning Commission on April 4, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run returns to the Planning Commission|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7560-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=April 8, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> They did so at the request of the developer who had expressed a preference for responding to the outstanding questions identified by staff and the Planning Commission before the project is considered by the Board. <br />
====Planning Commission approval====<br />
<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] unanimously approved the project on May 29, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run approved by the Planning Commission|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7525-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=May 29, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> <br />
<br />
====Proffers related to infrastructure====<br />
The [[Board of Supervisors]] agreed in July 2007 to accept several key pieces of infrastructure that the developer offered,<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run: A detailed look at the discussion on parks, transportation, and water needs|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7492-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=July 16, 2007|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
* Accepted $1 million as an up-front cash proffer to support a [[Regional Transit Authority|new City-County public transit authority]];<br />
* Accepted a 402 acre park proffer (the development is on 828 other acres);<br />
* Determined water and sewer needs would be adequately addressed;<br />
* Made recommendations for a future road connection to [[Mill Creek South]]; <br />
<br />
====September 11, 2007 Public Hearing====<br />
The [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] voted 6-0 to approve a rezoning for the Biscuit Run development on September 12, 2007. The approval came after 1:00 AM after a public hearing that itself only began at 10:00 PM. <ref>{{cite web|title=4,300 homes approved for Biscuit Run|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7442-biscuit/|author=Sean Tubbs & Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=September 13, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> This will be the largest residential development ever in Albemarle County. <br />
<br />
The County accepted an estimated $41,150,000 in proffers in connection with the rezoning. Without the rezoning, Supervisors said the developer could have built between 1,000 and 1,400 homes on the property by-right.<br />
<br />
"This will be the gold standard for the neighborhood model plan," said developer [[Hunter Craig]] during his public comment before the Board. <br />
<br />
During the public meeting, many people requested that the Board postpone action until a full environmental impact assessment could be made. Many residents of the [[Mill Creek South]] neighborhood spoke in cautious support of the project, because a proposed connection between the two neighborhoods will now be built as a walking trail. Other speakers expressed concern about increased traffic on Route 20 and the adequacy of water and sewer capacity.<br />
<br />
Several neighbors spoke in favor of the project, saying they look forward to using some of the shops, parks and trails that will be built as a result. Ron Sykes, the Headmaster of the [[Covenant School]] to the north of the development, said Biscuit Run would be "complementary to our campus."<br />
<br />
"We don't have legal authority to require a developer to do an environmental impact study," said Supervisor [[Dennis Rooker]]. He added that the [[Neighborhood Model]] would help reduce the impact of the development on the region, while allowing residents to get to several destinations on foot.<br />
<br />
Supervisor [[David Slutzky]] said he was pleased that transit became a major component of the proposal. "It's really a poster child for how a proposal can make its way through our process," he said.<br />
<br />
Former Supervisor [[David Wyant]] said that the proposal is a good example of how a public-private partnership work. He added that the level of scrutiny that has gone into this proposal has improved the process by strengthening erosion-control requirements.<br />
<br />
==From Development Area to State park==<br />
In December 2009, the state of Virginia purchased the land from the developers, [[Forest Lodge LLC]], for $9.8 million plus $11.7 million in tax credits. Forest Lodge had asked for $31.2 million in credits, pointing to an appraisal of $87.7 million for the 1,200 acres<ref>{{cite-cville|title=State paid Biscuit Run one-third of what developers sought|url=http://www.c-ville.com/State_paid_Biscuit_run_one_third_of_what_developers_sought/|author=Will Goldsmith|pageno=|printno=|printdate=|publishdate=December 28, 2010|accessdate=August 22, 2012}}</ref> However, the state only granted $11.7 million in tax credits, prompting Forest Lodge LLC to not get the amount they felt they deserved, they filed suit in November 2011 against the Virginia Department of Taxation in Albemarle County Circuit Court.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Biscuit Run update: Forest Lodge takes tax department to court|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Biscuit_Run_update_Forest_Lodge_takes_tax_department_to_court/|author=Brendan Fitzgerald|pageno=|printno=|printdate=|publishdate=November 7, 2011|accessdate=August 22, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
In April 2013, Judge Paul Peatross ruled that the state undervalued the property, meaning that Forest Lodge LLC would receive an additional $20 million in tax credits. <ref>{{cite-cville|title=Judge says state devalued Biscuit Run property|url=http://www.c-ville.com/judge-says-state-devalued-biscuit-run-property/#.UXgfA6KG18F|author=Graelyn Brashear|pageno=|printno=|printdate=April 23, 2013|publishdate=April 23, 2013|accessdate=April 24, 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
The land was rezoned to rural areas on [[December 4]], [[2019]]. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Biscuit Run rezoned as park land|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/biscuit-run-rezoned-as-park-land/article_13c203bd-aecc-596d-bb2f-d88a0b9fa2c7.html|author=Allison Wrabel|pageno=A6|printdate=December 6, 2019|publishdate=December 6, 2019|accessdate=December 7, 2019}}</ref><br />

<div>==2024 questions==<br />
I'm looking at this page on a day when I've found a CD with the audio from the kick-off meeting that I want to make sure gets saved somewhere. The development of this plan is an important chapter in Charlottesville land use at a time when a lot of planning efforts were underway. What is their legacy? How did the creation of this plan affect what happened next? Who opposed this plan? Who supported it? Who got paid? --[[User:Seantubbs|Seantubbs]] ([[User talk:Seantubbs|talk]]) 12:33, 16 March 2024 (EDT)<br />

<br />
Links and citations and more information will come as this develops. No one seems to have written about it yet and there's no website. Appointments to the steering committee were made at the December 17, 2012 [[City Council]] meeting and I'll add citations when I can. There's a lot of overlap with [[PLACE Design Task Force]]. --[[User:Seantubbs|Seantubbs]] 12:09, 18 December 2012 (CST)<br />

*To reconnect the new and existing neighborhoods with one another, Downtown, area schools, parks, and the trail network.<br />
*To formulate a comprehensive vision for the area in order to reposition it with its own unique identity building on its historical, cultural, and physical characteristics, including its topography and Pollocks Branch.<br />
*To identify and brand the SIA as an emerging urban “Ecodistrict” with the [[Pollocks Branch]] watershed as the catalyst of a green system of stormwater management, utilizing cutting edge sustainable practices and strategies for new built interventions.<br />
*To add new residential units within the SIA in order to increase the city’s tax base, increase opportunities for affordable housing, allow for a mix of unit types and prices, promote a mixed-income community, and provide a critical mass of residents to support additional needed retail.<br />
*To increase access to economic opportunities for public housing residents through increased transit, bicycle and pedestrian access to jobs, education, and training in and beyond the SIA.<br />
*To increase access to jobs, community services, and economic opportunity by increasing commercial space within the SIA.<br />

<div>The '''Belmont Bridge''' is a newly-built structure that carries [[Avon Street]] over the [[CSX Transportation|CSX railway]] to the east of Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. It is a primary pedestrian connection to the [[Belmont-Carlton|Belmont Carlton neighborhood]]. The project is still under construction. <br />
<br />
The city spent many years planning for the replacement and construction got underway in the summer of 2021. A notice to proceed for construction was given in late June [[2021]]. <ref>{{cite-CCE|title=June 29, 2021: Belmont Bridge construction receives notice to proceed; Regional Housing Partnership 'Planning for Affordability'|url=https://communityengagement.substack.com/p/june-29-2021-belmont-bridge-construction|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=June 29, 2021|accessdate=July 24, 2021}}</ref> The eastern portion of the bridge has been completed and now the western portion is under construction. <br />
<br />
The replacement will be the third structure to cross the railroad tracks and had been in the planning process for many years. The now-demolished bridge had opened in [[1962]]. <ref>{{Cite-cville|url=http://www.c-ville.com/over-or-under-a-decision-looms-on-the-future-of-the-belmont-bridge-project|title=Over or under: A decision looms on the future of the Belmont Bridge project|author=Courteney Stuart|date=May 28, 2014|accessdate=November 9, 2018}}</ref> Construction was slated to begin in Spring 2020 with completion slated for 2022, but that was pushed back due to a cost over-run after the project was put out to bid. <ref>{{cite-CCE|title=April 27, 2021: No qualifying bids for Belmont Bridge?

== Project overview ==<br />
[[Charlottesville]] has spent several years studying the best approach to replace the Belmont Bridge, which carries [[Virginia State Route 20|Avon Street]] over the [[Buckingham Branch]] railroad line.<ref name="update">{{cite web|title=Belmont Bridge design coming into focus|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/06/belmont-bridge-update.html|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 22, 2011|accessdate=June 29, 2011}}</ref> As of Jan 2018, the firm [[Kimley-Horn]] is developing construction documents for a new bridge that will be shorter than the existing bridge.<ref name="design" /><br />
<br />
Approved major design features as of an October 2018 Status Report<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.belmontbridge.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bemont-Bridge-Replacement-Project-Status-Report_October-2018.pdf|title=Belmont Bridge Replacement Project Status Report, October 2018|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref>:<br />
<br />
* A replacement bridge that is shortened to approximately 236 LF in length and maintains the existing 62’ width<br />
* Roadway Section on Avon/9th Street between Levy Avenue and East Market Street intersections will consist of one travel lane in each direction, a protected 7’ wide bike lane in each direction and a 10’ wide pedestrian sidewalk in each direction. Turning lanes will be added/lengthened at each intersection to maximize efficiency of each signal while maintaining traffic flow.<br />
* “Old” Avon Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Levy Avenue and East South Street to improve the function and safety of the Levy Avenue/9th Street intersection for all modes of travel while creating a pedestrian plaza within the former roadway.<br />
* Enhanced pedestrian lighting and landscaping will be provided along 9th Street between Levy Avenue and East Market Street.<br />
* New sidewalk will be constructed along neighboring streets to the project corridor and landscaping will be installed – on East South Street, Avon Street, Graves Street and Water Street.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Prior to [[1905]], there were gates at an at-grade crossing with the railroad that controlled pedestrian and horse access to the tracks.<ref name="buck">{{cite web|title=Belmont - A History of a Neighborhood|url=http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:19800501-buck-history-of-belmont.pdf|author=James H. Buck Jr.|work=Paper for James Kinard's Local History course|publisher=|location=|publishdate=May 1980|accessdate=July 28, 2014}}</ref> One of the guardians of these gates was a man named [[Ned Harrison]], who went by Uncle Ned.<br />
<br />
The first bridge to span the railroad tracks was built in 1905 and helped trigger rapid growth in the [[Belmont-Carlton]] neighborhood.<ref name="sia-plan">{{cite web|title=City of Charlottesville Strategic Investment Area Plan|url=http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:FInal_SIA_Report_-_13_December_2013-reduced.pdf|author=Cunningham Quill|work=|publisher=Cunningham Quill|location=|publishdate=December 13, 2013|accessdate=July 28, 2014}}</ref> This bridge was replaced in [[1962]].<br />
<br />
===Replacement path chosen over replacement path ===<br />
On [[September 15]], [[2003]], Council discussed a request to VDOT for $1.6 million in emergency funding to repair the bridge. At the time, [[Maurice Cox]] noted the bridge was not friendly to pedestrians and suggested the "best solution" was not a replacement. [[Jim Tolbert]] responded that the future of the bridge could be determined after VDOT approved the project. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=|when=September 15, 2003|accessdate=April 27, 2021|id=195931|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/DocView.aspx?id=195931&searchid=54b7a26d-bc09-4562-8f57-d84886a2102d&dbid=0}}</ref> They next discussed the project at a work session on [[September 27]], [[2004]] and were told a "band-aid repair" would cost $180,000 whereas $1.6 million would fix the issues. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=|when=September 27, 2004|accessdate=April 27, 2021|id=199406|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/DocView.aspx?id=199406&searchid=cbc13b63-78e9-4865-91b3-0e217dad3172&dbid=0}}</ref> <br />
<br />
At the [[April 18]], [[2005]] meeting, Council was briefed on the city's participation in the Virginia First Cities program meaning the city would now manage allocations of VDOT funding. At the time, the idea was to repair the bridge. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=|when=April 18, 2005|accessdate=April 27, 2021|id=|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/DocView.aspx?id=249287&searchid=b9a55e58-9756-4a46-84c4-d02517e1bef2&dbid=0}}</ref> A public hearing on $1.46 million in federal funds was held on [[May 2]], [[2005]]. Another $552,000 in state funds were earmarked for the project. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=|when=May 2, 2005|accessdate=April 27, 2021|id=|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/DocView.aspx?id=249288&searchid=b9a55e58-9756-4a46-84c4-d02517e1bef2&dbid=0}}</ref><br />
<br />
However four years later, the bridge had deteriorated to the point where replacement was recommended over repair. The repairs project never went forward, and Council was asked to proceed with a plan to replace at their meeting on [[April 6]], [[2009]]. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=|when=April 6, 2009|accessdate=April 27, 2021|id=|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/DocView.aspx?id=391204&searchid=b6232b6e-8a95-4a30-b977-e8745700208b&dbid=0}}</ref> In December [[2008]], a cost/benefit analysis conducted by the city had supported full replacement rather than repair. <ref name="mpomatrix">{{cite web|publisher=[[MPO Policy Board]]|title=Project Tracking Matrix|publishdate=December 15, 2008|accessdate = 9 Nov 2009|url=http://www.tjpdc.org/agendas_and_minutes/mpoPoli/08_12_22/DecemberProject%20Tracking.pdf}}</ref> {{deadlink}} [[MMM Design]] was selected to serve as the design consultant for the project. <ref name="MMM">{{cite web|title=MMM Design selected to oversee new Belmont Bridge design work|url=https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/belmont_bridge-2/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=April 8, 2009|accessdate=January 20, 2018}}</ref> <br />
<br />
====Initial struggles with funding====<br />
The city received $1 million in VDOT revenue sharing money for the project in FY2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=FY 2012 Revenue Sharing Allocations|url=http://www.ctb.virginia.gov/resources/2011/june/reso/reso2/Agenda_Item_4_FY12_RevSharingProgram_AllocRequestsRecommendedAlloc.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=Virginia Department of Transportation|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=January 20, 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
In November 2009, VDOT officials announced plans to cut several hundred million dollars worth of projects to fill a budget deficit, threatening the ability for the city to save for the bridge.<ref>{{cite-progress-mg|title=Belmont Bridge fix funds in danger|url=http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/belmont-bridge-fix-funds-in-danger/article_49fa16a6-0c6b-56b0-83d8-456be27fe258.html|author=Ted Strong|pageno=|printdate=November 25, 2009|publishdate=November 25, 2009|accessdate=January 2, 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Rocky road for the MMM Design====<br />
[[MMM Design]] held a public kick-off meeting in November 2010.<ref name="kickoff" /> However, after a series of public meetings they presented a design that did not meet the favor of many in the [[Belmont]] community. <br />
<br />
====Contest leads to competing designs====<br />
Filmmaker [[Brian Wimer]] held a contest in February [[2012]] called Project Gait-Way to solicit new designs. The winning concept called for the bridge to be replaced with an at-grade crossing with the [[Buckingham Branch Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Winning design for Belmont: No bridge, more connectivity for Belmont and Downtown Mall|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5896-bel/<br />
|author=Courtney Beale|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 21, 2012|accessdate=January 20, 2018}}</ref> The result lead to uncertainty about which direction the city would go as transportation planners weighed their options.<ref>{{cite web|title=Design work on U.S. 29 widening to start this summer|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5892-vdot-updates/1347190173000/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 24, 2012|accessdate=December 27, 2016}}</ref> Council agreed <br />
<br />
[[Charlottesville City Council (2012-2013)]] considered the matter at its meeting on March 5, 2012. Several members of the public urged Council to consider the winning entry when considering a replacement. Mayor [[Satyendra Huja]] said doing away with the bridge would be impractical.<ref>{{minutes-citycouncil|when=March 5, 2012|id=558275}}</ref> NDS Director [[Jim Tolbert]] told Council that he was working with MMM, city staff and the chair of the U.Va School of Architecture. He said the newly-created [[PLACE Design Task Force]] would be initial body to review work of the "local architect to work with their design team." MMM continued work on the project. <br />
<br />
The design firm [[Siteworks Studio]] was hired as a subcontractor, and spent the summer of 2012 taking the elements from design contest entries to incorporate into a new design. Two alternatives have been developed. One would be a replacement of the bridge. The other would be an underpass, with [[Avon Street]] dipping below the CSX railroad tracks. Both designs also feature a pedestrian-only suspension bridge, a plaza, and a linear park along the railroad.<ref name="review">{{cite web|title=Conceptual Design Review|url=http://www.belmontbridge.com/community/conceptual-design-review|author=|work=|publisher=City of Charlottesville|location=Belmont Bridge Replacement Project|publishdate=Feb 2013|accessdate=8 July 2013}}</ref> {{deadlink}}<br />

The [[PLACE Design Task Force]] reviewed the proposals in December 2012. The task force recommended the adoption of the underpass scheme because it concluded that it would provide easier and more attractive access to the [[Downtown Mall]] and give greater development potential to land south of the railroad tracks.<ref name="place">{{cite web|title=Belmont Bridge replacement proposals|url=https://sites.google.com/site/belmontbridgereplacement/community/place-design-task-force-memo|author=PLACE Design Task Force|work=Advisory Memo|publisher=PLACE Design Task Force|location=|publishdate=January 13, 2013|accessdate=January 20, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Memorandum to City Council|url=http://www.belmontbridge.com/community/place-design-task-force-memo|author=PLACE Design Task Force|work=|publisher=Belmont Bridge Replacement Project|location=|publishdate=28 January 2013|accessdate=8 July 2013}}</ref> {{deadlink}} Charlottesville sought public input regarding the two designs in February 2013.<ref name="two-designs">{{cite web|title=Belmont Bridge proposals weighed at public meeting|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/14076-belmont-bridge-meeting/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 14, 2013|accessdate=January 20, 2018}}</ref><br />

Since [[1971]], [[Albemarle County]] government has maintained a '''Comprehensive Plan''' to regulate land use in the county. Voters approved the County’s first zoning ordinance in [[1969]], and the [[Board of Supervisors]] adopted the first Comprehensive Plan two years later. Since then, the Comprehensive Plan continues to shape decisions about where development should be located and in what form. <ref>{{cite-progress-worrell|title=The Seventies: Central Virginia Ends Decade of Joy and Tragedy|url=|author=Doug Kamholz|pageno=|printdate=January 1, 1980|publishdate=January 1, 1980|accessdate=June 27, 2015}}</ref><br />
<br />
The [[Board of Supervisors]] adopted the latest update on [[June 10]], [[2015]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=Supervisors adopt Comprehensive Plan after four years of study|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/21133-albemarle-plan-adopted/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 11, 2015|accessdate=June 27, 2015}}</ref><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===1971 The first Comprehensive Plan===<br />
The Albemarle Board of Supervisors adopted its first Comprehensive Plan on [[September 16]], [[1971]]. <ref>{{Minutes-boardofsupervisors|url=https://lfweb.albemarle.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=4270&dbid=0&repo=CountyofAlbemarle&searchid=2238b003-16b1-46c2-940b-b703324af12e|when=September 16, 1971|documentid=4270|accessdate=February 5, 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
The vote was 4-2 with Supervisors Garnett, Gibson, Wheeler, and Wood voted for it. Supervisors Paulett and Yancey voted against it. <br />
<br />
The work by [[Rosser H. Payne, Jr]] was funded by an urban planning grant from Virginia's Division of State Planning and Community Affairs. {{fact}}<br />
<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] got a history lesson at their retreat on [[December 16]], [[2008]]. [[David Benish]], the County’s Chief Planner at the time, traced the evolution of the Comprehensive Plan. Benish said the County’s growth management policy stems from the adoption of the first plan in 1971.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tubbs, Sean|title=A slideshow history of Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6999-comp_plan_history/?preview=1?preview=1}}</ref> At that time, the County's growth area was split into 11 separate zones.<ref>Albemarle County. Department of Community Development. Places 29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Area. 2009 DRAFT. 31 Mar. 2009. <http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/Forms_Center/Departments/Community_Development/Forms/Places29_Master_Plan/Places29_Master_Plan_1_Introduction_2_2009_Complete.pdf></ref><br />
<br />
The goals of the policy:<br />
*Promote the efficient utilization of County resources through a combination of [[Designated Development Areas]] and Rural Areas<br />
*Direct growth into Designated Development Areas<br />
*Protect Natural Scenic and Historic Resources<br />
*Discourage rural residential development other than dwellings related to a bona fide agricultural/forestal use<br />
*Strongly support and effectively implement the County’s growth management priorities in the planning and provision of transportation, and public facilities and utilities<br />
<br />
In his 30 minute presentation, Benish explained the reasons for the various updates that have been conducted over the years. For instance, the Plan was updated in [1977] in part to address the rapid siltation that was occurring at the [[South Fork Rivanna Reservoir]]. Supervisors adopted the plan and immediately directed staff to work on a new zoning ordinance that would reflect concerns about intense development in the watershed. <ref>{{Minutes-boardofsupervisors|url=https://lfweb.albemarle.org/weblink/DocView.aspx?id=3867&dbid=0&cr=1|when=November 11, 1977|documentid=3867|accessdate=July 15, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
That eventually led in [[1980]] by the so-called "[[Great rezoning|great rezoning]]" that further refined the County’s urban zoning districts and downzoned the [[rural area]]. Though the downzoning of the [[rural area]] was challenged in court, the County eventually prevailed. In [[1982]], the growth area boundaries were adjusted to follow the water supply watershed, except in [[Crozet]], [[Ivy]] and [[Earlysville]]. <br />
<br />
While various parts of the Comprehensive Plan come up for renewal and revisions on a periodic basis, the County is currently operating under the 1996-2016 Comprehensive Plan, which identified infill development as one of the County’s planning goals. In [[1996]], according to Benish, a divided Planning Commission recommended a slight expansion of the growth area. However, the Board of Supervisors did not support the expansion and instead directed staff to find ways to encourage more efficient development in the designated growth areas. That request would eventually lead to the adoption of the [[Neighborhood Model District]], which allows for denser residential development. {{fact}}<br />
<br />
===1989 update===<br />
Another update was adopted on [[July 12]], [[1989]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=Hathi Trust Digital Library|url=https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/101979091|author=|work=|publisher=|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=February 5, 2021}}</ref> <ref>{{Minutes-boardofsupervisors|url=https://lfweb.albemarle.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=1430&dbid=0&repo=CountyofAlbemarle|when=July 12, 1989|documentid=1430|accessdate=February 5, 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
===1996 update===<br />
In this update, all but one of the village growth areas were removed from the plan. These included [[Earlysville]] and [[North Garden]]. <ref name="worksession" /><br />

<br />
On [[July 30]], [[2013]], the Albemarle Planning Commission voted unanimously to conclude its review of the Comprehensive Plan and send its revisions to the [[Albemarle Board of Supervisors]]. The commission had conducted over 38 public meetings and work sessions to review three different drafts of the plan. The changes the commission recommended included a new [[Southern and Western Neighborhoods Master Plan]], reformed [[affordable housing]] and cash [[proffer]] policies, a greater number of land uses and activities (such as farm winery events) allowed in the [[rural area]], and greater provision for agricultural and food processing at rural interstate interchanges. The commission also consolidated the plan to approximately half its former length.<ref>{{cite web|title=Albemarle’s Comprehensive Plan update clears the Planning Commission|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/15492-comprehensive-plan-update/|author=Claudia Elzey|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=31 July 2013|accessdate=1 Aug 2013}}</ref><br />
