In early 2019, Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church submitted a rezoning petition for the Planning Commission's regular docket for Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The rezoning petition proposed a change in zoning from the existing R-1S (low-density residential, small lot) to NCC (Neighborhood Commercial Corridor Mixed Use) subject to proffered development conditions. The stated purpose of the rezoning was to allow construction of a multifamily building containing up to 15 units (for a total density of 19.7 DUA). Within the current R-1S zoning district, multifamily dwellings are not permitted. The application was deferred until the June 2019 Planning Commission meeting.[3]

Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval on June 11, 2019.[4][5] City Council approval passed the rezoning unanimously on its August 5, 2019 consent agenda.[6][7][8]

On September 6, 2019 a group of individuals residing throughout the city filed a lawsuit as pro se litigants against the Charlottesville City Council and each member of the Council individually, seeking to overturn the rezoning.[9] Signatories included Kimber Hawkey, president of the Belmont-Carlton Neighborhood Association; Bill Emory, former planning commissioner; Tomas Rahal, former owner of Mas and current owner of Quality Pie; Ivana Kadija, school health activist; and Brian Wimer, Belmont filmmaker.

On September 8, 2019, the petition was amended to remove five names, including Emory and Wimer, and add eight additional names.

Proffered development conditions

In addition to the requirements of other applicable City ordinances: ZM19-0000:[10]

  1. No more than 15 dwelling units shall be permitted on the Subject Property.
  2. A minimum of four (4) residential units within the multifamily dwelling on the Subject Property shall be restricted to residents with income at eighty percent (80%) or less of area median income ("AMI") as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Charlottesville, Virginia Metropolitan Area.
  3. For the safety of residents within the multifamily dwelling, access to all interior common areas serving residential units shall be controlled through the use of entry locks.
  4. All non-residential uses (other than educational facilities (non-residential) and day care facilities) which are not accessory to a house of worship or to residential uses located on the Subject Property, shall be prohibited on the Subject Property.
  5. Permanent vehicular ingress and egress to the Subject Property shall be restricted to Rialto Street, provided that this restriction on vehicular access shall not take effect until such time as a building permit is issued for construction of any multifamily building. The City may require any site plan for any multifamily building proposed on the Subject Property to adhere to the vehicular ingress and egress limitation under this condition.
  6. The maximum height of buildings and structures shall be thirty-eight (38) feet.
  7. Setbacks shall be provided along primary street frontage as follows: six (6) feet minimum required; ten (10) feet, maximum.

With these proffers, the allowed usage is more restrictive than R-3, but allows smaller setback.
