AP2022-01:  CVAS P8A, LLC and CVAS P8, LLC appeal a Determination regarding the maximum residential density within the Planned Development – Commercial Zoning District.   CVAS P8A, LLC owns GPIN 7860-50-3126, a 20.49 acre parcel of land north of the Poet’s Walk Assisted Living Facility and the Seasons apartment complex on the west side of Gordon W. Shelton Boulevard in Celebrate Virginia South.  The appeal regards Unified Development Ordinance section 72-33.2(D)(4), “Residential Density Use Limitations,” which states that “residential uses shall not exceed 10% of the overall PD-C District and 24 units per acre.”  The Zoning Administrator determined 10% of the land in Celebrate Virginia South now contains residential uses and no more residential development is currently permitted in Celebrate Virginia South.  The appellants contend that the 10% rule should be applied to all 920 acres of land zoned PD-C throughout the City, not just the 541 acres located in Celebrate Virginia South. They argue that an additional 31.5 acres in Celebrate Virginia South are eligible for residential development, under this interpretation. The BZA has authority to affirm, modify, or reverse the Zoning Administrator’s determination.
