DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS — Parcel ID 01600-00-00-03000 (5833 Wesley Chapel Rd,
Property of Carrboro Limited Partnership) White Hall Magisterial District
Dear Mr. Wiley:
The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above -noted property. It is
the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that Parcel ID 01600-00-
00-03000 is comprised of one (1) parcel of record, with four (4) theoretical development rights.
The basis for this determination follows.
The Albemarle County Real Estate Assessment records indicate Parcel ID 01600-00-00-03000
contains 822.78 acres and two (2) dwellings. The property is zoned RA, Rural Areas.
The most recent deed for Parcel ID 01600-00-00-03000, recorded prior to December 10, 1980,
the date of adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, is recorded in Deed Book 647, page 258 and is
dated May 25, 1978.

...all that certain tract or parcel of land... containing in the
843.79
aggregate 843.79 acres as shown on plat... attached hereto
and made a part of this deed. The property ... was
acquired ... as follows:
Parcel A DB 382, p.375
Parcel B DB 382, p. 379
Parcel C DB 390, p. 340
Parcel D DB 463, p. 584
Parcel E DB 463, p. 568
The singular nature of "all that certain tract" and
"containing in the aggregate" implies that the
aggregate of 843.79 acres was one parcel of record on
the date of the adoption of the zoning ordinance,
December 10, 1980. Additionally, the plats description
states, "Plat showing a survey of an 843.79 acre tract,"
January 17, 2019
LOD201800023
Page 2
implying that it is one tract of land. The 1979 Albemarle
County Tax Maps show it as one parcel of record as
well. Lastly, the deed's description states, "The
property hereby conveyed was acquired... as follows"
before listing the parcel references A-E. This
description provides a record of how the property was
acquired, but does not imply that the property contains
the separate parcels A-E. In conclusion, there is not
enough evidence to suggest that parcel 01600-00-00-
03000 was anything more than 1 parcel of record on the
date of the adoption of the zoning ordinance.

Sec. 10.1 Intent, where permitted.
This district (hereafter referred to as RA) is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment
of the zoning map for the following purposes:
-Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities;
-Water supply protection;
-Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and
-Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources.
Residential development not related to bona fide agricultural/forestal use shall be encouraged to locate in
the urban area, communities and villages as designated in the comprehensive plan where services and
utilities are available and where such development will not conflict with the agricultural/forestal or other
rural objective. Where development does occur, rural residents should expect to receive a lower level of
service delivery than will be provided to residential developments in designated growth areas. In relation
to residential development, agricultural/forestal activities shall be regulated only to the extent necessary to
protect public health and safety.
In regard to agricultural preservation, this district is intended to preserve the county's active farms and best
agricultural and forestal lands by providing lot areas designed to insure the continued availability of such
lands for preferential land use tax assessment in order to enhance the economy, and maintain employment
and lifestyle opportunities. In addition, the continuation and establishment of agriculture and
agriculturally -related uses will be encouraged, and landowners will be encouraged to employ Virginia State
Water Control Board best management practices.

It is intended that permitted development be restricted to land which is of marginal utility for
agricultural/forestal purposes, provided that such development be carried out in a manner which is

Sec. 10.3.3 Rural preservation development.
Sec. 10.3.3.1 Definitions.
The following definitions shall apply to any rural preservation development created under section 10.3.3:
a. Development Lot: A lot within a rural preservation development, other than a rural preservation tract,
created for the purpose of residential or other permitted usage.
b. Rural Preservation Development: A subdivision of land consisting of development lots together with a
rural preservation tract.
c. Rural Preservation Tract: A lot, the usage and diminishment of which is restricted and protected by
legal arrangements to insure its maintenance and preservation for the purpose of preservation of
agricultural and forestal land and activity; water supply protection; and/or conservation of natural,
scenic or historic resources.
(§ 20-10.3.3.1, 11-8-89; § 18-10.3.3.1, Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord. 01-18(6), 10-3-01)
Sec. 10.3.3.2 Intent; design standards.
The rural preservation development option is intended to encourage more effective land usage in terms of
the goals and objectives for the rural areas as set forth in the comprehensive plan than can be achieved
under conventional development. To this end, application for rural preservation development shall be
reviewed for:
a. Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities;
b. Water supply protection; and/or
c. Conservation of natural, scenic or historic resources.
More specifically, in accordance with design standards of the comprehensive plan and where deemed
reasonably practical by the commission:
d. Development lots shall not encroach into prime, important or unique agricultural or forestal soils as the
same shall be shown on the most recent published maps of the United States Department of
Agricultural Soil Conservation Service or other source deemed of equivalent reliability by the Soil
Conservation Service;
e. Development lots shall not encroach into areas of critical slope or flood plain and shall be situated as
far as possible from public drinking water supply tributaries and public drinking water supply
impoundments;
f. Development lots shall be so situated and arranged as to preserve historic and scenic settings deemed
to be of importance to the general public and natural resource areas whether such features are on the
parcel to be developed or adjacent to such parcel;
g. Development lots shall be confined to one area of the parcel and shall be situated so that no portion of
the rural preservation tract shall intrude between any development lots;
h. All development lots shall have access restricted to an internal street in accordance with Chapter 14 of
the Code of Albemarle;
i. Nothing stated herein shall be deemed to obligate the commission to approve a rural preservation
development upon finding in a particular case that such proposal does not forward the purposes of rural
18-10-7
Zoning Supp. #107, 1-10-18
ALBEMARLE COUNTY CODE
preservation development as set forth hereinabove and that the public purpose to be served would be
equally or better served by conventional development.

Sec. 10.3.3.3 Special provisions.
In addition to design standards as set forth in section 10.3.3.2 and other regulation, the following special
provisions shall apply to any rural preservation development:
a. The maximum number of lots within a rural preservation development shall be the same as may be
achievable pursuant to section 10.3.1 and section 10.3.2 and other applicable law. Each rural
preservation tract shall count as one (1) lot. In the case of any parcel of land which, prior to
application for rural preservation development, has been made subject to a conservation, open space or
other similar easement which restricts development on the parcel, the total number of lots available for
rural preservation development shall not exceed the number available for conventional development as
limited by any such previously imposed easement or easements;
b. Section 10.3.3.3.a notwithstanding, no rural preservation development shall contain more than twenty
(20) development lots;
c. Provisions of section 10.3.3, rural preservation development, shall be applied to the entire parcel.
Combination of conventional and rural preservation development within the parcel shall not be
permitted, provided that the total number of lots achievable under section 10.3.1 and section 10.3.2
shall be permitted by authorization of more than one (1) rural preservation tract. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to preclude the director of current development and zoning from approving a
rural preservation development for multiple tracts of adjoining land, or on land divided or otherwise
altered prior to the effective date of this provision; provided that, in either case, the provisions of
section 10.3.3 shall be applicable;
d. The area devoted to development lots together with the area of roadway necessary to provide access to
such lots shall not exceed the number of development lots multiplied by a factor of six (6) expressed in
acres;
e. No rural preservation development shall contain less than one (1) rural preservation tract. The director
of current development and zoning may authorize more than one (1) rural preservation tract in a
particular case pursuant to the various purposes of rural preservation development as set forth in
section 10.3.3.2 or in accord with section 10.3.3.3.c, as the case may be;
f. No rural preservation tract shall consist of less than forty (40) acres. Except as specifically permitted
by the director of current development and zoning at time of establishment, not more than one (1)
dwelling unit shall be located on any rural preservation tract or development lot. No rural preservation
tract shall be diminished in area. These restrictions shall be guaranteed by perpetual easement
accruable to the County of Albemarle and the public recreational facility authority of Albemarle
County in a form acceptable to the board. In accordance with Chapter 14 of the Code of Albemarle,
the director of planning and community development shall serve as agent for the board of supervisors
to accept such easement. Thereafter, such easement may be modified or abandoned only by mutual
agreement of the grantees to the original agreement;
g. Each application for a rural preservation development is subject to the review and approval of the
director of current development and zoning.

3. The historic commercial agricultural or forestal uses of the property since 1950, to the extent that is
reasonably available.
4. If located in an agricultural or forestal area, the probable effect of the proposed development on the
character of the area. For the purposes of this section, a property shall be deemed to be in an
agricultural or forestal area if fifty (50) percent or more of the land within one (1) mile of the border of
such property has been in commercial agricultural or forestal use within five (5) years of the date of the
application for special use permit. In making this determination, mountain ridges, major streams and
other physical barriers which detract from the cohesiveness of an area shall be considered.
5. The relationship of the property in regard to developed rural areas. For the purposes of this section, a
property shall be deemed to be located in a developed rural area if fifty (50) percent or more of the
land within one (1) mile of the boundary of such property was in parcels of record of five (5) acres or
less on the adoption date of this ordinance. In making this determination, mountain ridges, major
streams and other physical barriers which detract from the cohesiveness of an area shall be considered.
6. The relationship of the proposed development to existing and proposed population centers, services
and employment centers. A property within areas described below shall be deemed in proximity to the
area or use described:
a. Within one mile roadway distance of the urban area boundary as described in the comprehensive
plan;
b. Within one-half mile roadway distance of a community boundary as described in the
comprehensive plan;
c. Within one-half mile roadway distance of a village as described in the comprehensive plan.
7. The probable effect of the proposed development on capital improvements programming in regard to
increased provision of services.
8. The traffic generated from the proposed development would not, in the opinion of the Virginia
Department of Transportation:
a. Occasion the need for road improvement;
b. Cause a tolerable road to become a nontolerable road;
c. Increase traffic on an existing nontolerable road.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Albemarle County Planning Commission
Mark Graham, Director, Department of Community Development
Amelia McCulley, Director of Zoning and Current Development/Zoning Administrator
Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning
Department of Community Development Staff
FROM: Greg Kamptner, Deputy County Attorney
DATE: January 27, 2006
RE: Development Rights
This memorandum explains and analyzes the regulations and many of the key issues pertaining to
development rights and, in particular, how they may be used and how their use may be limited.
1. What is a development right?
Up to 5 development rights were allotted to each "parcel of record" in the Rural Areas zoning
district existing at 5:15 p.m. on December 10, 1980, when the current Zoning Ordinance was adopted by the
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. Zoning Ordinance § 10.3. A "parcel of record" is synonymous
with "lot of record," which is defined to be a "lot shown on a subdivision plat or other lawful plat or legal
description which is lawfully recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County,
Virginia." Notwithstanding that definition, those lots approved by the County before December 10, 1980,
including those approved on a preliminary subdivision plat, but not put to record until after December 10,
1980, are deemed to be parcels of record for the purpose of determining development rights. Zoning
Ordinance § 6.5.3 (former). As will be examined more closely in the following sections, development rights
permit the creation of lots less than 21 acres in size in the Rural Areas.
In a series of official determinations, the Zoning Administrator has determined that a parcel of record
must be one that was originally established as a lot that could be developed for, most typically, residential
purposes. Special use lots such as well lots, cemeteries, narrow strips of land created for the purpose of
providing access, are not parcels of record with development rights. See, Subdivision Ordinance § 14-106
(definition of non -building lot).
The Board of Supervisors may grant a special use permit to allot additional development rights to
parcels of record outside of the reservoir watersheds, provided that the additional development rights are
compatible with the neighborhood and specified goals and objectives are satisfied. Zoning Ordinance §
10.5.2.1. Special use permits to attain additional development rights are rarely sought.
In this memorandum, the term "parcel of record" refers to the original lot that was allotted
development rights; the term "lot" refers to each lot created from a parcel of record.
2. What does a development right allow?
Development rights have a dual nature -- they identify not only the number of lots that may be
theoretically created by the subdivision of a parcel of record, but also the number of single family dwellings
that may be established.
A parcel of record may be divided into up to 5 lots that are at least 2 acres in size, but less than 21
acres, in addition to as many 21-plus acre lots that can be created. Zoning Ordinance §§ 10.3.1 and 10.3.2.
Table 1 explains how development rights would be allotted:
Table 1
Allotment of Development Rights
Parcel Size
Number of Theoretical Development Rights

5
> 8 acres, but < 10 acres
4
> 6 acres, but < 8 acres
3
> 4 acres, but < 6 acres
2
< 4 acres

The following illustration shows how a 96-acre parcel of record could be subdivided using its 5
allotted development rights:
Illustration 1
Theoretical Subdivision of a Parcel of record
Z
The 80-acre residue in Illustration 1 could then be subdivided into a total of 3 lots, because that is the
2
maximum number of lots 21-acres that could be created from it. If the development right lots were reduced
in size so that the residue was 84 acres or more, then the residue could be divided into 4 lots.
Development rights also identify the number of single family dwellings that may be established on a
single lot less than 21 acres in size in the Rural Areas. Up to 5 single family dwellings may be established on
a single lot. Zoning Ordinance § 10.5.1. Multiple dwellings on a single lot must be located so that if the lot
was subdivided, each dwelling could be located on a separate lot that satisfied all of the requirements of the
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The location of 3 or more dwellings on a single lot is permitted only
with an approved site plan. Zoning Ordinance § 32.2.1.
3. Theoretical and usable development rights.
The development rights allotted by Zoning Ordinance § 10.3 are "theoretical." They may be usable
only if the lot being created contains a building site meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The
key requirements for a building site are as follows:
• If it is not served by a public or central sewerage system, which is the typical situation in the Rural
Areas, the building site must be at least 30,000 square feet in area, and one dimension may not
exceed another by a ratio of more than 5:1. Zoning Ordinance § 4.2.2(a)(1).
• The building site must have adequate area for locating two septic drainfields approved by the
Virginia Department of Health. Zoning Ordinance § 4.2.2(a)(1).
• The building site may not contain critical slopes. Zoning Ordinance § 4.2.1.
• The building site may not include any area located in the flood hazard overlay district or
which is located under water. Zoning Ordinance § 4.2.1.
• The building site may not include any area located within 200 horizontal feet of the 100 year
flood plain of any public drinking water impoundment or within 100 horizontal feet of the
edge of any tributary stream to such impoundment. Zoning Ordinance § 4.2.1.
• The building site may not include any area designated as a resource protection area on the
resource protection areas map adopted under the Water Protection Ordinance, subject to
certain discretionary exceptions provided in the Water Protection Ordinance. Zoning
Ordinance § 4.2.1.
In addition to the foregoing, the use of development rights may be limited by other zoning
and subdivision regulations, conditions of approval, private covenants, or easements. See sections 6
through 9 for more discussion of the limitations on the use of development rights.
4. How the number of development rights is determined.
The number of theoretical development rights is determined in a variety of ways. Typically, the
number of development rights is determined by staff in the Division of Zoning and Current Development in
the course of their review of subdivision plats, and is based on the information supplied by the landowners,
surveyors or engineers. The landowner, or more often, his or her engineer or surveyor, shows the usable
development rights on the subdivision plat.
On occasion, the number of theoretical development rights is determined by the Zoning
Administrator in an official determination. Official determinations issued by the Zoning Administrator are
made with the assistance of the County Attorney. These determinations require research through the land
records to identify the parcel of record existing immediately prior to December 10, 1980, and then analyzing
the history of the lot since December 10, 1980 to determine whether any development rights have been off-
conveyed from the original parcel of record. Official determinations are often requested by landowners who
believe that their land may be comprised of multiple parcels of record, or by prospective buyers, appraisers
or auditors seeking to fully understand the value of the land. It is fairly common for a single "tax parcel"
identified on the County's tax maps to consist of multiple parcels of record under Zoning Ordinance § 10.3.
The administrative practice of the County's Assessor's Office through the 1970's was to consolidate
adjoining parcels under the same ownership into a single tax parcel, so that the County would have to mail
fewer tax bills and track fewer tax parcels. The determination of the number of parcels of record requires a
thorough examination of the deeds and plats in the chain of title, sometimes back to the late 1800's.
Official determinations are also made by the Zoning Administrator for applications under the ACE
Program. The number of theoretical and usable development rights is used to rank the property under the
criteria in the ACE Ordinance and for appraising the value of the open -space easement (for those
development rights that will be extinguished by the easement).
Official determinations of development rights become binding on the land if they are not timely
appealed to and reversed by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
5. Development rights and 21-acre lots.
As noted in section 2, development rights identify the number of lots less than 21 acres in size that
may be theoretically created by a subdivision of a parcel of record. The Rural Areas zoning district
regulations also allow as many 21-acre or greater sized lots to be created as possible. Zoning Ordinance §
10.3.2. Table 2 shows the number of potential development right lots, the number of 21-acre lots, and the
total number of lots that could be created from the subdivision of parcels of record of various sizes.

As noted in section 3, the actual number of lots may be less if building sites and other zoning and
subdivision requirements cannot be satisfied.
6. The 31-acre rule.
Subdivisions occurring after November 8, 1989 are subject to what is commonly known as the "31-
acre rule." The rule provides that the "aggregate acreage devoted to such lots or development shall not
exceed thirty-one (31) acres, except in such case where this aggregate acreage limitation is precluded by
other provisions of this ordinance." Zoning Ordinance § 10.3.1. In other words, the rule limits the aggregate
acreage consumed by development right lots to 31-acres.
Although development right lots may be as small as 2 acres, the regulations allow a development
right lot to be as large as just less than 21 acres. The 31-acre rule minimizes the acreage consumed by
development right lots in order to preserve the balance of the property in lots of at least 21 acres in order to
better preserve the County's rural character.
Illustrations 2 and 3 show how the 31-acre rule would apply in two situations.

Illustrations 2 and 3

a
This subdivision complies
with the 31-acre rule
because the aggregate
acreage of the 5
development rights lots
does not exceed 31 acres.
Prior to November 8, 1989, a
40-acre lot could be divided
into two 20-acre lots. Each of
these lots could be further
divided into a total of 5 lots.
After the adoption of the 31-
acre rule, however, this
subdivision would not be
allowed because the two
development rights lots would
exceed 31 acres.
7. Development rights must be used within the boundaries of the parcel of record.
The general rule is quite simple — development rights must be used within the boundaries of the
parcel of record. Zoning Ordinance § 10.3.1 (development rights allotted to lots of record).
Over time, lots may be created from a parcel of record or their boundary lines may be adjusted. The
requirement that development rights be used within the boundaries of the parcel of record — sometimes
referred as the "kernel rule" — requires that each development right lot created contain a "kernel" from the
original parcel of record. The rule prevents the transfer of development rights from one parcel of record to
another. By doing so, the rule prevents landowners from assembling development rights from other parcels
of record, a practice that could result in large suburban -scale subdivisions and development at a much greater
density than otherwise allowed in the Rural Areas.
Illustrations 4 through 7 show how this rule would be applied in two situations.

The kernel rule does not prevent development rights from being transferred among lots created from
a single parcel of record.
The kernel rule also does not apply to rural preservation developments established under Zoning
Ordinance § 10.3.3.

8. Allocation of development rights upon subdivision.
Both the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance require that development rights be
allotted to the several lots created (including the residue) when a parcel of record or a lot is subdivided.
Zoning Ordinance § 10.3.2; Subdivision Ordinance § 14-302(A)(10). The Subdivision Ordinance also
requires that the subdivision plat identify the number of acres consumed by development right lots in order to
allow the County and the public to monitor compliance with the 31-acre rule. Subdivision Ordinance § 14-
302(A)(10).
Occasionally, a subdivision plat, particularly those approved in the early 1980's when the concept of
development rights was still new, fails to allot all of the development rights. This omission does not
extinguish the development rights. Within the past ten years, there have been two situations where the
landowners of lots created from a parcel of record sought to "claim" a development right that had not been
allotted.
In the first case, the landowners of all of the lots created from the original parcel of record who
might otherwise have been eligible to use the additional development right (e.g., their lots had been allotted
only 1 development right though the lots were larger than 4 acres) agreed to allow one of the eligible
landowners to have it.
In the other case, the landowner of one of the eligible lots asked the County about available
development rights, was informed that there was an unallotted available development right, and used it
before the landowner of the other eligible lot was aware of the situation. In the end, the landowner who
missed out on the unallotted development right did not appeal the decision that allowed the other landowner
to claim the development right. A development rights determination of his property revealed that he had
more development rights than he thought. The Department of Community Development now has procedures
in place to assure that unallotted development rights are not used without the knowledge of the landowners of
the other eligible lots.
9. Other limitations on the use of development rights.
Development rights are part of the zoning of a Rural Areas lot and, because those rights were created
by a legislative action, they may be extinguished only by a legislative action, i.e., a rezoning to another
zoning district or a comprehensive downzoning of the Rural Areas by, for example, reducing the number of
development rights. Thus, the failure of a landowner to allot all development rights as discussed in section 8,
or to use all development rights in a project, does not extinguish those development rights. For example, a
landowner who subdivides a 63-acre parcel into a 21-acre lot and a 42-acre lot does not extinguish the right
to further subdivide the 42-acre lot into two 21-acre lots, or to use the 5 development rights allotted to the
original parcel of record. As another example from a different zoning district, there is no doubt that a
landowner who subdivides a 1-acre lot zoned R-4 (4 dwellings per acre) into 3 lots does not waive the right
to further create the fourth lot and dwelling to achieve the zoning density allowed under the R-4 zoning
district regulations, assuming that all applicable zoning and subdivision regulations can be satisfied.
Nonetheless, there are ways by which the use of development rights may be limited:
Subdivision — lot acreage precludes full use of development rights: In this situation, the
development right lots are sized in a way that prevents all of the development rights from being
used. For example, a 6-acre lot has 3 development rights and it is divided into two 3-acre lots.
Because each 3-acre lot may use only one development right, the third development right is
unusable while the lots are in this configuration.
Subdivision — acreage consumes 31-acres before all development rights used: In this case, the size
of the development right lots reaches the 31-acre limit before all of the development rights are used.
For example, a 70-acre parcel of record has 5 development rights and, in the first subdivision, a 20-
7
acre lot and a 10-acre lot are created. Because the aggregate area of these 2 lots is 30 acres, and the
minimum size of a development right lot is 2 acres, no further development right lots may be
created from the parcel of record. However, the lots could be resubdivided and resized and, of
course, the 20-acre lot and the 10-acre lot could be further subdivided if they were allotted
additional development rights.
Condition of approval restricts further subdivision or additional dwellings without a new permit:
The most likely scenario in this situation is a private street approval that is conditioned on the lots
not being further subdivided without further approval by the Planning Commission. The
justification for the condition is to assure that the private street approved is adequate for a particular
number of dwellings, and that additional dwellings would require further review to assure that the
private street is adequate for the additional traffic. Such a condition does not extinguish the
development rights. The condition would apply only so long as the lots are served by a private
street (i.e., the condition could be avoided by constructing a public street). The condition also could
be amended or eliminated by a future County action. Even assuming that there was authority and
justification to impose a condition that prohibited a private street from being converted to a public
street, the development rights would not be extinguished because, as noted before, the condition
could be amended or eliminated.
Restrictive covenants: Restrictive covenants — privately imposed and privately enforced restrictions
on land use — may limit the full use of development rights. For example, a subdivision consisting of
two 4-acre lots and one 2-acre lot, with a recorded restrictive covenant expressly prohibiting further
subdivision of any of the lots, would prevent the additional development rights allotted to the two 4-
acre lots from being used. The County does not enforce restrictive covenants.
Open -space and similar easements: Open -space easements that restrict the number of lots that may
be created or the number of dwellings that may be established limit the use of development rights.
In essence, the landowner has either sold the development rights (such as under the ACE program as
part of the County's purchase of the easement) or has agreed to not use them. In either case, the
easement holder, such as the County, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, and the Public Recreational
Facilities Authority, may enforce the terms of the easement to assure that the development rights
surrendered are not used.
Development rights allotted to a lot with a limited number of building sites: In this situation,
development rights are allotted to a lot where the conditions of the lot will prevent the full number
of development rights from actually being used. For example, by allotting 4 development rights to
an 8-acre lot, all but 1 acre of which lies in the flood plain, 3 of the 4 development rights may not be
used because no more than one 30,000 square foot building site will exist on the lot.
None of the examples above extinguish development rights. Development rights for lots under open -
space easements exist, but they cannot be used either because the landowner no longer owns them or has
agreed not to use them; conditions of approval can be amended or eliminated; lots can be resubdivided,
restrictive covenants can expire, and standards of development can be changed.

If you want to...
• divide land in the RA zoning district
• build more than one house on a parcel in the RA zoning district
• transfer some land to a family member in the RA zoning district
then you need to know about
Development Rights
What are development rights, division rights, and
subdivision rights?
These are all the same thing; however, they are most commonly called
development rights. They permit the division of land into parcels of less than 21
acres and allow the placement of more than one dwelling on a property.
Where did development rights come from?
Development rights were created as part of the RA, Rural Areas, zoning district
on December 10, 1980, when the Board of Supervisors adopted the current
Zoning Ordinance.
What do development rights do?
Development rights permit the division of land into lots of less than 21 acres and
allow for the location of more than one dwelling on a parcel. Division of land into
lots of 21 acres or greater does not require a development right.
Why are development rights important?
Development rights are required to create a lot of less than 21 acres. Also, a
development right, or an area of at least 21 acres is required for each dwelling.
Page 12
Do development rights matter in any zoning district
other than RA?
No, development rights exist only in the RA, Rural Areas district.
What is the maximum number of development rights
for a property?
The maximum number of development rights for any parcel is 5.
Can I transfer development rights to or from my
neighbor?
No, transferring development rights is not permitted in Virginia. However, If your
neighbor's property and your property were created from the same parent parcel,
it may be possible to reassign a development right.
li
/ Did You Know...
Albemarle County has a cluster development option which legally allows you to transfer
development rights. It's called a Rural Preservation Development (see Sec 10.33 of the
Zoning Ordinance for more).
V
Can all property with development rights be
subdivided?
Not necessarily. Any new lot must meet all requirements of the Subdivision and
Zoning Ordinances (Chapter 18 of the County Code).
Do lots created by family subdivision require a
development right?
Family Subdivisions require development rights just like any other type of
subdivision in the RA that creates one or more lots of less than 21 acres.
If I divide my property and have unused development
rights, what happens to them?
The owner of the property determines how to assign development rights. This is
done during the subdivision review process, and the assignment of development
rights is noted on the plat.
How do I determine the number of development rights
on a parcel?
See Page 4 for step-by-step directions.
Page 13
What is the minimum lot size in the RA district?
The minimum lot size is 21 acres unless you utilize a development right. When
using a development right, the minimum lot size is 2 acres.
If I have one development right can I divide my
property?
Every lot must have one development right or 21 acres. Therefore if you have a
10 acre parcel and only one development right, you may not divide to get two
lots. If you have 10 acres and two development rights, the possibility exists to
divide it. If you have 23 acres with one development right, the possibility exists to
create two lots: one with 2 acres and one with 21 acres. Also, watch out for one
of the quirks of development rights — the "31-acre" rule — simply stated "The
total acreage, of all lots created with development rights may not exceed 31
acres." If your property has not been subdivided since November 8, 1989 then...
this rule applies to you! (See below for illustration
The illustration to the right is an example of
a subdivision that may be allowed in
Albemarle County.
In this scenario, the 31-acre rule forces you
to create a 21-acre lot which helps
Albemarle County retain its rural
character.

Since these lots are less than 21 acres each,
they require a development right in order
to be created, but the sum total acreage
is greater than 31 acres.

Can I obtain additional development rights?
For properties located within the portions of the County that drain to a drinking
water reservoir, it is not possible to obtain additional development rights. For
properties located outside the reservoir watersheds, it is possible to apply for a
special use permit to obtain additional development rights. However, the County
has approved very few additional development rights. For more information on
the requirements for applying for additional development rights please contact
any Rural Area Planner in Planning.
How do I determine the zoning of a property?
You may reference the official zoning maps in the Zoning Division, use the GIS-
Web, or consult the zoning staff of the Department of Community Development.
Steps in Determining the Number of
Development Rights
In order to determine the number of development rights, you must first determine
what the boundaries of the parcel were on December 10, 1980 (the date of
adoption of the Zoning Ordinance.) If no changes have occurred since
December 10, 1980, the parcel has its full compliment of development rights.
The steps below will help you to determine the number of development rights.
1 -Determine your tax map and parcel number. This is sometimes referred to as the Tax
ID number or Parcel ID number. The 14-digit number appears on your real estate tax bill.
If you have an address for the property, you can determine the tax map and parcel
number using GIS-Web. (GIS-Web is a computer based information system. Terminals
are available for public use in the Department of Community Development). You may
also determine the tax map and parcel number by using the tax maps available in the
Community Development front office or online by clicking here. Staff in the Departments
of Community Development and Real Estate can also assist you in finding the tax map
and parcel number.
2 - Review the 1979 tax map book and the current tax map book. These maps are
available in the Community Development front office or online by clicking here. If the
parcel is exactly the same in the two books, then it is likely that the parcel has its full
complement of development rights. If the parcel is different then you will need to do the
following steps;
A — Open the GIS-Web and enter the Tax/Parcel ID number to find your parcel. Once
the parcel shows up in the list you will click on the "Property Info" link. This page
defaults to the "Summary Information" and the summary will have reference to the
most recent Deed Book and Page where the property was recorded with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court of Albemarle. There may be information in the "Notes" section of the
summary as to more recent Deed Book and Page number activity. Use the Deed
Page 15
Book and Page number to find any history as to recorded plats. Review the parcel's
history in the Clerk's Office. If the most recent record in the Clerk's Office is prior to
Deed Book 706, Page 421, the parcel has its full complement of development rights. If
records exist after Deed Book 706, Page 421 you will need to review each deed to find
a plat that will have notes addressing development rights. Plats signed by the County
after December 10, 1980 should have notes referencing division rights or development
rights. If multiple plats exist, start with the most recent plat. There should be a note on
the plat that states "Parcel X retains Y development rights" or "Parcel X may be further
divided" or "Parcel X may be divided into Y lots of less than 21 acres" or some type of
similar language. Also, look for a note that may follow the above notes that states
"When used, the development rights may consume not more than acres."
If you are unable to determine the development rights by using the above
process then you have two (2) other options: An informal assessment of
development rights and an Official Determination of Parcels and or Development
Rights.
Steps in getting an informal assessment of development rights from staff.
Fill out an Informal Development Rights Assessment form and leave it with the intake
staff in the Department of Community Development. The form is available from the
website here or in Community Development front office.
It may take up to two weeks for staff to conduct the research. Longer review times may
be needed for multiple parcels or for complex divisions.
Steps in getting an official letter of determination of Development Rights.
Fill out an Official Letter of Determination. The application is available from the
website here or in Community Development front office.
Submit the required information as stated on the application to the Department of
Community Development.
Submit a fee of $100 for each existing Parcel ID number.
Written determinations may take 30 to 90 days to complete. Please note that official
determinations may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals, if you believe an error
in interpretation has occurred. However, after the appeal period (30 days) has elapsed,
no appeal is possible and the determination is final.
All forms/documents mentioned in this and other
brochures can be found at our website.
