Description:

(Changes based on August 27 Amended Application submittal shown in bold and italics)

Rezone (RZN-25-6) from General Commercial (GC) and Office (O) to Planned Residential (PR) to construct a multi-family residential community consisting of five (5) four-story apartment buildings and a two-story standalone community and leasing center. There is a companion request to vacate the right-of-way on Holiday Lane (ROW-25-2). All of the residential buildings will include an equal mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units for a total of 64 units per building. The 32-unit building was removed to reduce density and improve parking ratio. The complete total of units will be 320 units with 32.9 units per acre (320 units) and 49.1 bedrooms per acre (480 beds). The proposed layouts include 1- and 2- bedroom units. The standalone community clubhouse of approximately 9,450 square feet will contain a leasing office, business center, fitness and recreation rooms and an outdoor patio area. Resident parking will be provided in the parking lots adjacent to the proposed buildings. A total of 455 parking spaces is proposed which is 0.94 spaces per bedroom. This parking ratio is lower than the required Town of Blacksburg parking ratio of 1.1 parking space per bedroom.

The applicant has requested to modify Section 4261(a)(3) of the Use and Design Standards to not require a street-oriented entrance along Yellow Sulphur Road.

The Future Land Use designation in the Town Comprehensive Plan is Commercial. While complementary residential uses may occur in these areas, the primary uses of this designation are commercial.
