[[Charlottesville]]'s zoning is organized by the following districts:
 
Within a category of zoning, such as Residential, there are various levels of intensity, or restrictiveness. R-1, the least intense and most restrictive, to R-3, the most intense and least restrictive. In general, the higher numbers are more intense and less restrictive than lower numbers. The first letter(s) of a zoning designation describes what general type it is (example: R, B or M) in Charlottesville’s Zoning Code, followed by a number; the higher the number, generally the more intense the land use.

Charlottesville's zoning is organized by districts, each with its own permitted uses. There are other types of zoning, the one most frequently brought up is a Form-Based Code. In general the focus of the form-based code in on the forms buildings take, rather than their use.

Charlottesville's zoning is organized by the following districts:

Within a category of zoning, such as Residential, there are various levels of intensity, or restrictiveness. R-1, the least intense and most restrictive, to R-3, the most intense and least restrictive. In general, the higher numbers are more intense and less restrictive than lower numbers. The first letter(s) of a zoning designation describes what general type it is (example: R, B or M) in Charlottesville’s Zoning Code, followed by a number; the higher the number, generally the more intense the land use.

Residential

Residential zones are classified in the following categories (§34-350)

  • Single-family (R-1): low-density areas where the dominate pattern of residential development is the single-family dwelling.
  • R-1; low-density residential areas
  • R-1S; low-density residential areas characterized by smaller lots
  • R-1U; low-density residential areas in the vicinity of the University of Virginia
  • R-1SU; low-density residential areas in the vicinity of the University of Virginia characterized by smaller lots
  • Two-family (R-2): low-density areas where additional housing opportunities are available beyond the single-family dwelling
  • R-2; low-density residential areas in which single-family attached and two-family dwellings are encouraged
  • R-2U; low density residential areas in the vicinity of the University of Virginia in which single-family attached and two-family dwellings are encouraged
  • Multifamily: areas for medium-density and high-density residential development, with the high density permitted only when harmonious with surrounding areas
  • R-3; medium-density residential areas in which medium-density developments, including multifamily uses, are encouraged
  • R-UMD; (University Medium Density) areas in the vicinity of the University of Virginia in which medium-density developments, including multifamily uses, are encouraged
  • R-UHD; (University High Density) areas in the vicinity of the University of Virginia in which high-density residential developments, including multifamily uses, are encouraged

Generally speaking, the older residential neighborhoods such as Fifeville, North Downtown, Woolen Mills and Rose Hill are predominantly R-1S, with smaller properties characterizing a pre-World War II development pattern. “Newer” residential neighborhoods, like Greenbrier, Meadowbrook Heights and The Meadows that developed after World War II are predominantly R-1.

Pockets of two-family zoning can be seen in the Fry’s Spring, Martha Jefferson, Starr Hill, Fifeville and Belmont neighborhoods. Neighborhoods like Lewis Mountain and Venable contain most of the city’s R-1U zoning, and the Jefferson Park Avenue neighborhood has the majority of the city’s R-2U zoning.

The medium-density R-3 property is minimal, mostly confined to the northern tip of Park Street and to sites owned by the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. The “university” multifamily zones (R-UMD and R-UHD) are seen exclusively in the Jefferson Park Avenue and Venable neighborhoods.[1]
