(RECAP: Albemarle and Charlottesville plotting commissions had the opportunity Tuesday for a joint discussion on a redevelopment project that could help the two communities realize a goal of improving the area’s connections with the Rivanna River. Developer Brian Roy is seeking a rezoning that will allow for an adaptive reuse of the historic Woolen Mills building located within a landlocked section of Albemarle County. The project immediately borders the city of Charlottesville, and a rare joint meeting was held so both plotting commissions could hear directly about Roy’s plans to have the area rezoned from light industrial to commercial use. Roy wants to build 100 residential units, or about 22 units per acre. An additional special-use permit would be needed for residential use.)
