Many different applications
2005 proposal
When the Southern Area B Study was released, the property owner sought a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to adjust the designation from the land from Neighborhood Density Residential to Office Service. The Albemarle Planning Commission held a work session on this on November 28, 2006. [3] The plan was to build 500,000 square feet of office space in the northern portion of the site as well 400 housing units in the southern portion. A schematic drawn up by the Cox Company showed the Sunset-Fontaine Connector traversing the eastern portion of the site. [4] The Albemarle Board of Supervisors adopted this amendment on a unanimous vote on August 1, 2007. The approval also adddressed other components of the Southern Area B Study with details to be referred to the Planning and Coordination Council. [5]
Riverbend asked for an indefinite deferral in July 2016. [6]
2021 by-right development
The firm is seeking to develop the property by-right and submitted a subdivision application in the summer of 2021. The plan was initially denied due to a need to fill in the flood plain for some of the access roads, a process that will require a special use permit. [7]
2023 application for 203 units
The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on May 14, 2024. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the rezoning on August 7, 2024. [1] The consent agenda of the Architectural Review Board for February 3, 2025 includes the initial site plan. [8]
No more Sunset Fontaine Connector?
Development of the parcel beyond by-right was to have included construction of the Stribling Avenue section of a Sunset-Fontaine Connector.[9]
