Neighborhood Commercial - Amsterdam Node

A number of Virginia-Highland residents near the Amsterdam commercial node have shown an interest in learning how NC might impact them.  Several have expressed concern over the likely recommendation to include the entire Sala parking lot (the back half of which is zoned R-4) as NC.  This page is intended to capture important details of this dialog.

Below is a list of diagrams on what would be possible to build on the parking lot in the Amsterdam node should it be rezoned to NC. Note that there are currently no plans to modify existing structures. Furthermore, these plans should be compared and contrasted to what is currently possible on the site as it is zoned today (C-1) to get an accurate understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of rezoning this property:

• Simulated view from rear of property on Highland Terrace
• Additional garage restrictions requested by residents
• Existing NC limitations on parking garages
• Amsterdam node of possible parking garage
  (Note: landcape buffer is incorrect and should say 20')
• Arial view of possible parking garage
• Arial view with property parcels
• Arial view with topographic details
