Critical Slope Lot Regulation

The Charlottesville City Council adopted a revised critical slopes ordinance on January 17, 2012. The updated ordinance defines critical slopes as any slope that has a grade of 25% or higher, is within 200 feet of a waterway, has a horizontal run of 20 feet or more, and has an area of 6,000 square feet or more. It grants the council the ability to waive the critical slopes ordinance's prohibition on development if the benefits to the public of disturbing the slope outweigh the benefits of an undisturbed slope or if the ordinance would unreasonably restrict the use of a property. The council may also impose conditions on the granting of a waiver.

Tree Inventory Point

In January of 2018, Charlottesville Parks & Recreation initiated a project with the goal of creating an inventory of all the trees that exist on public property within the City of Charlottesville. The foundation of the inventory is a GPS field survey conducted in 2008 of all the existing trees at that time. This 2008 survey recorded the coordinates and several other attributes of Individual trees located in parks, schools, and right-of-ways.
Road Centerlines (Block Level)

This block level road data is derived from the Road Centerlines (RCL) and represents a single block of street numbers (200, 400). It is continually updated on a daily basis by City staff. Location data for roads are received/maintained by NDS staff (from various sources, such as updated orthos, GPS, plats, etc.) and incorporated into this layer. The data is maintained daily and updates will display the next business day.
Green Infrastructure (Solar Energy Systems)

Green building increases the efficiency with which buildings use resources – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment. Adding renewable energy systems can reduce operating costs and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings.

Architectural Design Control District Area

In Charlottesville historic resources may be designated as part of a historic district, or may be individually designated. An Architectural Design Control district, often referred to as an ADC or local historic district, is a group of historic resources that are designated for protection through zoning. The goal of local designation is to identify and preserve buildings, structures, landscapes, settings, neighborhoods, places, and features with historic, cultural and architectural significance; to protect visible reminders of the historic, cultural, architectural, or archaeological heritage of the city; to ensure that new buildings, additions, and landscaping will be in harmony with the existing character; to maintain property values; and to promote tourism and quality of life. All properties designated within a local ADC district are subject to review by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) for any exterior changes including demolitions. This ensures a public notification and review process before changes can be made to a protected property.
Historic Conservation District Area

The “Historic Conservation District” designation is intended to protect the character and scale of the more modest historic Charlottesville neighborhoods that are facing increased development and tear-downs. Modern construction is encouraged, if done thoughtfully in concert with older structures. The designation will require review by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) of all new construction, and certain additions and demolitions, all of which have the potential to change the character of the historic neighborhood. Otherwise, a Historic Conservation District does not impose requirements on the current residents who may want to rehabilitate their homes. A Historic Conservation District is different from an Architectural Design Control (ADC) District in three main respects: (1) Unlike in an ADC District, where review is required of all exterior changes to existing buildings, in a Historic Conservation District no BAR approval is required for rehabilitations of an existing building, or for smaller additions and demolitions; (2) The Historic Conservation District guidelines have been greatly condensed and simplified; and (3) The residents of a Historic Conservation District help identify neighborhood features to be preserved.
Parcel Owner Points

This layer represents the most recent parcels as recorded through deeds for the City. Since some parcels have multiple owners (e.g. Condos), this data set includes a point feature representing each. Real property zoning and addresses are assigned by Neighborhood Development Services (NDS) and provided to City Assessor staff for entry into the Real Estate system (CAMA). The information contained in this file is NOT to be construed or used as a "legal description" of any parcel. Any perceived errors or omissions should be reported to the City Assessor's Office for correction.
Special Use Permit Area

A special use permit allows a landowner to obtain a tract of land for a use that does not fall directly under the permitted usage for that specifically zoned area. In most areas, the community is separated into different zones determined by the community’s zoning commission. These zones are then given a specific set of “by-right” permitted uses. This means that any land within that zone can be used for the permitted usage only, by right of the owner. In addition to the regular usages, under the local zoning regulations, each zone is usually given a “special uses” section allowing for uses that are just outside the intended uses for that zone.

Historically Underutilized Business Zones 2015

HUBZone is a [United States] [Small Business Administration] (SBA) program for small companies that operate and employ people in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones). The HUBZone program was created in response to the HUBZone Empowerment Act created by the [US Congress] in 1998.[[1]] Based on the Act, small businesses will be designated as HUBZone certified if they have the following criteria: 1. The firm must be a small business based on the [North American Industry Classification System] (NAICS)[[2]] for size standards. 2. The business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens, or a Community Development Corporation, an agricultural cooperative, or an Indian tribe (including Alaska Native Corporations).[[3]] 3. The firm's principal office (the location where the greatest number of employees perform their work, excluding contract sites) must be in a HUBZone. 4. 35% of the firms total workforce must reside in a HUBZone.

Environmental Resource Protection Overlay

The Comprehensive Plan is a general guide to the location, character, and extent of proposed or anticipated land use, including public facilities. It provides guidance for land use development decisions made by the Planning Commission and the Board of County Supervisors. Section 15.2-2223 of the Virginia Code requires every governing body to adopt a comprehensive plan for the physical development of the territory within its jurisdiction. The Code further requires that comprehensive plans be reviewed every five years to ensure that the plan is responsive to current circumstances and that its goals continue to be supported by the citizenry. Each comprehensive plan is based on an analysis of current land use and potential future growth, and the facilities needed to serve existing and future residents. These services and facilities include items such as roads, parks, water and sewer systems, schools, fire stations, police facilities, and libraries. The Prince William County Comprehensive Plan contains a strategy for responsible, fiscally-sound growth to produce a vibrant, prosperous, stable, "livable" community. It contains recommendations for future land use, transportation systems, schools, parks, libraries, historic and environmental resources, and other resources, facilities, and services. It is implemented through Plan maps, the Capital Improvements Program, the subdivision ordinance, and the Zoning Ordinance and Map.
Address Points

Address Data (with Units) This data has been created and maintained in coordination from various departments, including Neighborhood Development Services (NDS), the Assessors office, Emergency Communications Center (ECC), and Public Works. Each address point has attribute information including addresses, unique tax parcel ID (PIN) and and building ID (BIN) which is useful for many different city departments (systems and tools). Aside from housing and business addresses the following have also been included in this layer: Empty lots for potential addresses; park and open space addresses. Updated nightly.
Agricultural and Forestal Districts

The Agricultural and Forestal Districts (AFD) layer is for maintaining the official AFD districts in Prince William County as approved by the Board of County Supervisors. This layer has no consistant schedule of updating, but typically follows within a week or two of Board Hearings when cases are approved. This may be many years apart. It can also be updated at any time to apply the "slivers" rule to keep it aligned to parcel and other boundary adjustments.
Green Infrastructure (Energy Star Structures)

Green building increases the efficiency with which buildings use resources – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment.

Parcel Boundary Area Details

Only active parcels are included in this dataset. This layer shows the latest parcel boundaries and owner information recorded in the city's property records. Since some parcels have more than one owner (like condos), this dataset connects each parcel shape (GPIN) to all its owners (PIN). Neighborhood Development Services (NDS) assigns zoning and addresses, then shares this information with the City Assessor's Office to be added to the property records system (CAMA). This file is not a legal document for any parcel. Any mistakes or missing information can be directed to the Assessor's Office to have them corrected.
Urban Heat Data 2021 Afternoon Traverse

Charlottesville participated in the 2021 NIHHIS-CAPA Urban Heat Island Mapping Campaign, a nationwide citizen-science based effort to collect local data on temperatures and humidity levels across the city. How urban environments and neighborhoods are built affects the amount of heat absorbed and retained, which can increase or reduce the impact of extreme heat events. Increases in extreme heat are one of the top projected impacts Charlottesville will experience from climate change. Data was collected by ~30 volunteers on August 24, 2021 along 7 pre-set routes (5 driving routes and 2 bicycle routes) during a heat wave on a day with high heat and low precipitation. The collected data was processed by CAPA Strategies and is now available through the City of Charlottesville's Open Data Portal. [A PDF Report], including generated maps and explaining the data collection methodology, is also available. More information can be found on the [City's Urban Heat Island Mapping Campaign webpage]. File Notations: * traverses (.shp, vector shapefile) = data collected by campaign participants * rasters (.tif, geotiff) = heat surface models * am = morning; af = afternoon; pm = evening * t = temperature; hi = heat index * f = fahrenheit * e.g. pm_hi_f.tif = evening heat index geotiff raster with fahrenheit values.
