City of
Charlottesville
“A plan to build two dozen homes between downtown
Charlottesville and Carlton Avenue along Water Street Extended received support
from the Charlottesville Planning Commission. If a rezoning is granted for the Water Street Promenade by the
City Council, Riverbend Development would be able to build nine more homes than
the 15 allowed by-right.
'We tried to design this to look something like the Fan in
Richmond and not have a suburban product,' said Riverbend’s president, Alan
Taylor. 'The lot width in the [current zoning] is 50 feet. These lot widths are
going to be between 35 to 38 feet, and we just thought it was a more urban
product.'
Plans for the site include 24 three-story houses, each with
a basement and garage, the donation of the historic Coal Tower to the city, and
public open space surrounding the tower.”
