The Piedmont Family YMCA plans construction of a fitness and aquatic center in the western half of McIntire Parkand entered into a 40-year ground lease with the City of Charlottesville for $1 per year.

The preliminary site plan calls for a 77,000-square-foot facility on a 4.51-acre site. 158 parking spaces will be added to the 110 spaces already in place. Under the plan YMCA will be responsible for all maintenance. The approved design also features a sustainable details and the facility will be built into the hillside to minimize massing. Todd Bullard of VMDO is the architect.[2]

Council voted 3-1-1 on September 17, 2007 to advertise a lease. Councilors David Brown, Kevin Lynch, and Dave Norris supported the lease. Councilor Julian Taliaferro voted no, and Kendra Hamilton abstained. [3] In December 2007, Council voted 3-2 to move enter into the lease with the YMCA, as Hamilton switched her vote to a no. [4]

On November 10, 2009 the Charlottesville Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan[2], followed by City Council January 4 2010[5].

The YMCA will also operate an office out of the new Jefferson School City Center[6].

The project is awaiting a Virginia Supreme Court ruling on a lawsuit filed against Charlottesville claiming that it broke Virginia's procurement laws by not allowing private companies to submit a request for proposals to operate an aquatic facility on city-owned land. [7] [8] The court heard the case in June 2012. Rulings were expected in September and November, but were not issued.
