4. From the Public: Matters Not Listed on the Agenda.
. Tom Loach, a resident of Crozet, reiterated his
concerns about development in the Crozet
community. Believes the Board has an
obligation to the community of Crozet to
implement the approved Master Plan that it
presented to the community. If the plan needs
to be changed, the Board should have staff
come back to the community explaining the
need for the changes and give the community
an opportunity to debate and vote to accept any
changes.
. Paula Brown-Steedly, a resident of Albemarle
County for 24 years, spoke about traffic
problems and other issues related to Doctor's
Crossing. She said nothing has changed with
the road since the early 1980s except that there
has been more development allowed along the
road. This is a dangerous road and the County
needs to do something about it.
. Mary Rice, a resident of Crozet, asked the
Board to deny all future rezonings in Crozet
until the Board has looked closely at the
implications of each rezoning with regard to the
total population build out of Crozet.
. Katurah Roell brought maps showing the
proposed transportation layout for the Pantops
area and the proposed possible connections
that could be made over to Route 20 internal
and parallel to Route 250. Discussed the
proposed connections and asked for support in
moving forward.
. Jeff Werner applauded Paula Brown-Steedly's
comments. Stated there are consequences of
development in the rural area. Clustering does
not take any less vehicular traffic off the road.

7a. Transportation Matters: Work Session: Six Year Clerk: Forward comments to Wayne
Secondary Road Plan. Cilimberg/David Benish/Juan Wade.
. HELD.
. Mr. Rooker will discuss with Butch Davies
between now and January 4th the Scottsville
request for assistance in obtaining Revenue
Sharing funds. He supports the request but
would like to see if the Town can get this money
by qualifying on its own. Mr. Dorrier said he
would be glad to assist. CONSENSUS of the
Board that Scottsville receives the funds while
minimizing the County's loss of revenue
sharing. Mr. Rooker asked Mr. Clark, the Town
Administrator, to work with County staff.
. Mr. Boyd said it would be helpful to him to add
another column on this list on the funding
availability. Mr. Benish referred Mr. Boyd to
Attachment 0, VDOT's 2006/07-2011/12
Secondary System Construction Plan.
. Mr. Rooker referenced Item #67,
Barracks/Garth Road, pave shoulders and/or off
road trail. Said Barracks Road is in the
nationally recognized Cross Country Bicycle
Trails, 1776 Route. Said it is not only in our
local plan but it is on a regional/national plan.
Thinks the County should look at the cost to
widen the shoulder on that road both for safety
and bicycle purposes. If the County can
2
interact with VDOT to determine project cost, it
could be brought back to the Board next year to
make a decision.
. Mr. Boyd asked that the road list be updated.
Gilbert Station Road and Allen Road are
complete yet they have estimated advertising
dates of January 05. Mr. Cilimberg said Gilbert
Station Road and Allen Road have to be on the
list with their dollar amounts because they are
still being paid for. Staff did add comments
they are nearly complete or complete.
. Discussed method for allocating funds to Rural David Benish/Juan Wade: Provide funding
Rustic Road projects and regular unpaved spreadsheets, like Attachment 0, for Rural
roads. Rustic Roads/Regular Paving projects for
. Mr. Dorrier wanted to know if item #58, spot January 4th agenda.
improvement, can be moved up the priority list
since the Town of Scottsville is going forward
with the funding from VDOT on the Streetscape
Project. This part of the project is continuous
to the other part of the Streetscape Project and
should be done at the same time. Mr. Wade
said that project is very far down on the list and
Scottsville wants to get started in the Spring of
2006, but VDOT has not started to look at this
project. It usually takes 2-3 years for them to
get engineering work and a public hearing. Mr.
Rooker said he is supportive of the project they
looked at earlier for Scottsville but for this
project we need a cost estimate. Mr. Cilimberg
said the Board will be deciding on a priority list
in January. We can make a specific request
that even for projects that have not made the
strategic list and came up today (this
intersection and shoulders on Garth/Barracks)
that we get a cost estimate.
. Mr. Wyant asked if VDOT is still maintaining a
data base on accident data at intersections
where there is a safety issue. Ms. Butler replied
yes.
. Mr. Cilimberg stated the public hearing will be
held next week with the Board taking action in
January. Any additional information, the staff
will qet to the Board bv then.

feet deep and 18 feet wide.
. VDOT is continuing to patch roads. Traffic
engineering issues are keeping VDOT busy in
the residency as well.

. Asked about white line on the edge of Garth
Road, safety issue. Ms. Butler said she will
check on that.
David Bowerman:
. Said VDOT has done a significant amount of
drainage work on Carrsbrook Drive because of
erosion. It looks like there are tons of rocks
there but at the edge, there is still dirt that is
eroding again. It's right on the edge and needs
to be taken into account to stabilize the whole
slope.
Dennis Rooker:
. Asked about the possibility of looking at safety
calming improvements for Solomon Road and
Inglewood Drive which has a significant amount
of traffic and there are no shoulders, sidewalks,
etc. Ms. Butler said she believes Solomon
Road has been reviewed within the last 90
days. She will check on the status of that. Ms.
Butler said VDOT can put the speed box out
there.
. Said the site plan for Albemarle Place has been
filed and there is a significant proffer for
transportation improvements in there some of
which are to be focused on the Hydraulic/29
intersection. Three corners of that intersection
are in the City. We need to make certain we
coordinate with the City to implement the
intersection improvements there since they are
important for making traffic work.
Ken Boyd:
. Wanted to know status of letter sent to Jim
Utterback from Mr. Wade addressing issues
regarding Doctor's Crossing. Also, new pipes
VDOT put under the road have broken away
and wanted to make sure VDOT was aware.
Ms. Butler said she made documentation earlier
this morning to check on this when she gets
back to the office.
Lindsay Dorrier:
. Requested on Route 795 between Route 53
and Ashlawn, that reflectors be installed along
that stretch of road (3-4 miles). Road is curvy
and narrow and has a lot of traffic. Ms. Butler
said a contract is in place and contractors are
working towards installing raised pavement
markinqs on all primary routes within Albemarle
4
County. She said VDOT maybe able to add to
the contract that is already in place as an
addendum. Will check on this.

POLICY
SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS
FOR ZONING APPLICATIONS
It is the Board's preference that a public hearing should not be advertised until all of the final
materials for a zoning application have been received by the County and are available for public review.
To achieve this preference, applicants should provide final plans, final codes of development, final
proffers, and any other documents deemed necessary by the Director of Community Development, to the
County no later than two days prior to the County's deadline for submitting the public hearing
advertisement to the newspaper. Staff will advise applicants of this date by including it in annual
schedules for applications and by providing each applicant a minimum of two weeks advance notice of
the deadline.
If the applicant does not submit the required materials by this date, the public hearing shall not be
advertised unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Community
Development that good cause exists for the public hearing to be advertised. If not advertised, a new
public hearing date will be scheduled. If the public hearing is held without final materials being available
for review throughout the advertisement period due to a late submittal of documents, or because
substantial revisions or amendments are made to the submitted materials after the public hearing has
been advertised, it will be the policy of the Board to either defer action and schedule a second public
hearing that provides this opportunity to the public or to deny the application, unless the Board finds that
the deferral would not be in the public interest or not forward the purposes of this policy.
Final signed proffers shall be submitted to the County no later than nine days prior to the date of
the advertised public hearing. This policy is not intended to prevent changes made in proffers at the
public hearing resulting from comments received from the public or from Board members at the public
hearing.
This Zoning Policy will be included in the Board's Rules of Procedure for adoption each year, so
that the policy can be re-examined annually.

Subject: This is what i said on 12/7/05
I am Paula Brown-Steedly. I have lived on Rt 784 E now DR's Crossing for the last 24
years.
I wish to apologize - at the last meeting I spoke of children dying as buses are drug up
the hill with tow trucks.
No one has died yet
tow truck help are not accidents - there are students traumatized - that do not ride
the bus even in rain
single car accidents on secondary roads - not on records
In 1981, Doctor's Crossing was a rural country road. There were 31 homes - total
1984 -chicken barn burns down road so bad fire trucks get stuck on road
1989 I hand in a road petition with all owners and residents signatures
VDOT advised
the road could not be paved without 50' of right of way and moving the road -
89- VDOT paves .4 of a mile on a steep hill from the bridge east due to sever erosion
The board of supervisors, planning, and VDOT knew then and know now that there were 2
grave yards & at least 5 homes that had -homes, wells and septics in this 50'right of
way.
IN 1989 -Immediately after Va land applied for the 4th time for internal subdivision-
Turkey Run. I wrote in opposition - the road was too dangerous
In 1994-99 another internal subdivision was approved - Stonewood. 13 lots Mike Trimpe
wrote against this due to poor road & additional traffic- too dangerous
APPROVING INTERNAL SUBDIVISION ON A ROAD -
too dangerous to pave.
2/11/2004 at the board of Supervisors Meeting, I handed in a copy of my petition from
89, Mr Cox handed in his new petition -2/11/2004 This petition had 95 names. Neither one
are in the records from this meeting!.
The residents of the road were VERBALLY ADVISED - April 2004 -Dr Crossing was too
dangerous (by VDOT) - to pave as rural rustic
the road is 2 miles long
4/10 was paved to stop erosion in 89 leaving 1.6 miles to fix
in Sept 2005 - 9 trees were cut along the road to address the shade canopy for safety
2 drain pipes have been replaced
when VDOT has time-they will finish this job it will help
Safety and healtl~ is being ignored with the number of cars the dust has become and
increasing health risk.
THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE AND THE STATE OF VIRGINIA Could never & CAN NEVER GET 50' OF RIGHT
OF WAY.- without condemning homes and exhuming grave yards. Internal subdivisions and
village residential,
AND grade of roads into these locations- , the pleas of the current residents- all
ignored.
1. I have requested spot improvements for safety and health
2.1 have requested 25 mile speed limit signs and no passing signs -been told "they can
not be provided - it is not procedure.
3. I have been verbally told that it is not procedure to pave a road without 50' of right
of way and doing the entire thing:
yet
4. I have requested that the bridge be closed - if the concern is that this is a cut
through road or that the EZ pass be used to restrict use as done in other parts of the
state
Dr Crossing Rt 784 will stay on the 6 year plan for another 30 years
If the more dangerous portion of the road is addressed 4/10 at a time then safety and
health may be achieved.
THIS IS BEING SENT AT THE REQUEST OF THE RECORD PERSON - I AM NOT SURE IT WILL GO THROUGH
- PLEASE CHECK WITH THEM

BACKGROUND: !
The Code of Virginia 9 15.2-2507 stipulates that any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate amount to be
appropriated during the fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted budget. However, any such amendment which
exceeds one percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget or the sum of $500,000, whichever is
lesser, must be accomplished by first publishing a notice of a meeting and holding a public hearing before amending the
budget. The Code section applies to all County funds, i.e., General Fund, Capital Funds, E911, School Self-Sustaining,
etc.
The total of this requested FY 2006 appropriation is $178,755.01. It is anticipated that a budget amendment public hearing
will be proposed in January 2006 and these appropriations would be incorporated into it.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
4.2 Fund County services in a fair, efficient manner and provide needed public facilities and infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
This request involves the approval of nine (9) new FY 2006 appropriations as follows:
. One (1) appropriation (#2006028) reappropriates $9,950.61 in unexpended funds for the CERT Grant;
. One (1) appropriation (#2006029) totaling $19,500.00 for three public safety grants;
. Four (4) appropriations (#2006030, #2006031, #2006032, and #2006033) totaling $88,507 AO for various
education programs;
. One (1) appropriation (#2006034) reappropriates $26,747.00 in unexpended funds and appropriates $27,050.00 in
additional funds within the General Government Vehicle Replacement Fund;
. One (1) appropriation (#2006035) in the amount of $7,000.00 for an Emergency Medical Services grant; and
. One (1) appropriation (#2006036) distributing the salary contingency approved during the FYOS/06 budget
process.
A detailed description of these appropriations is provided on Attachment A.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the FY 2006 Appropriations #2006028, #2006029, #2006030, #2006031, #2006032,
#2006033, #2006034, #2006035, and #2006036.
ATTACHMENTS

Attachment A
Appropriation #2006028 $9,950.61
In FY 2004/2005, the Emergency Communications Center was awarded a CERT Grant in the amount of $16,000.
These funds can only be used for training and equipment for this specific program. As of the end of FY 2005,
$9,950.61 in grant funds was unexpended and will require a FY 2006 reappropriation.
Appropriation #2006029 $19,500.00
The busiest times for major shopping in the County occur during the Thanksgiving to New Years holiday season.
December tends to have the highest frequency of traffic accidents, shopping thefts, and socializing. DUI's are at
their highest level during the season as well. To help support our police officers during this time, DMV has awarded
a grant in the amount of $6,000.00 for overtime traffic safety as part of the larger efforts of "Operation Safe Holiday".
Albemarle County is a rapidly developing area. Part of this development is bicycle activity. Several hundred miles of
the county is designated as "Share the Road" with bicyclists. There is a planned network of roads with bike lanes
throughout the County. In addition to actual accidents and injuries, the County is experiencing a growing number of
complaints about motorists and bicyclists not abiding by the laws of the road. In an effort to increase public safety
awareness and to increase coverage at large "non-vehicle" friendly events DMV has awarded Albemarle County a
grant in the amount of $3,000.00 in overtime for our bicycle officers.
In the recent years, Albemarle County has identified that 73% of fatality crashes were a result of excessive speed. In
an effort to increase our efforts at combating this deadly speeding problem, DMV has approved a grant for Albemarle
County in the amount of $10,500.00 to purchase six new radar units. These radar units will be distributed to patrol
shift officers so that they may have the most up-to-date equipment available for effectively measuring and prosecuting
violators.
These three grants have a 20% "in-kind" local match that will be funded and tracked through the Police Department's
appropriated budget and will require no additional local funding.
Appropriation #2006030 $26,000.00
At its meeting on September 22, 2005, the Albemarle County School Board approved the following appropriation
requests:
State Farm Insurance Company has awarded Agnor-Hurt Elementary School a grant in the amount of $25,000.00.
This grant will fund the Mobile Classroom Project, The Do Drop In Bus. This is an Albemarle school bus that is
equipped as if it were a classroom. The goal of the program is to improve the academic performance of students
through extending the time available to learn.
Hollymead Elementary School received a donation in the amount of $1 ,000.00 from Dr. and Mrs. Young Soo Kim.
This donation will be used toward purchasing technology equipment for Hollymead Elementary School.
Appropriation #2006031 $850.00
At its meeting on October 10, 2005, the Albemarle County School Board approved the following appropriation
requests:
Cale Elementary School received a donation in the amount of $50.00 from the Valentine Richmond History Centre.
This donation will be used in the music department at Cale Elementary School.
Wood brook Elementary School Received a donation in the amount of $500.00 from Wal-Mart Foundation. It has
been requested that this donation be used primarily for snacks and materials in the extended learning/tutoring
program at Woodbrook Elementary School.
Western Albemarle High School experienced a theft of two cameras. Our insurance company reimbursed Western
Albemarle for these cameras. The person responsible for the theft was ordered to pay restitution of $300.00 for the
cameras. Restitution has been made; our insurance company will need to be reimbursed $50.00 since our
deductible was $250.00. The remaining $250.00 will be returned to WAHS.
Appropriation #2006032 $60,407.40
At its meeting on October 27, 2005, the Albemarle County School Board approved the following appropriation
requests:
Woodbrook Elementary School received a donation in the amount of $1,500.00 from Century 21, Ray Cadell &
Associates. This donation will be used to support Dr. Brown's EDGE (Extended Day Generates Excellence)
program.
Burley Middle School received a donation in the amount of $1 ,000.00 from H.M. Walker, Jr. Burley also received a
donation in the amount of $500.00 from Mary P. Evans. These donations will be used to fund activities for the
students at the school.
"Opening Doors, through English Literacy and Civics Education Program" have been funded through a competitive
grant awarded by Virginia Adult Education. The goal of this federal grant is to help adult ESOL students to integrate
into the community by focusing on employment and work skills as they learn English. "Opening Doors" (this program
is not associated with the Open Doors Adult Education Program at Albemarle High School) is designed to partner the
successful methodologies, curricula, community partnerships, and staff of the Albemarle Adult Education program
with the potential of the community at large and the ESOL community specifically, to determine employment needs,
develop classes/workshops to address those needs, and implernent on-going efforts to expand opportunities to
improve language acquisition and job skill services. It is a cost-effective program to connect the ESOL population to
the community, while at the same time:
. Providing area employers and volunteer/service organizations with a more informed, qualified, and
productive job pool;
. Providing information to students and their children on career planning;
. Improving students' English language, job skills, and job opportunities;
. Improving the job force and increasing volunteerism in the Central Virginia area; and
. Ultimately increasing ESOL students' involvement in their community.
There is a fund balance retained by the State in the amount of $31,324.66 from FY04/05 which may be
reappropriated for FY05/06. The funds will be received and disbursed as attached.
V.L. Murray Elementary School received a donation in the amount of $200.00 from Douglas and Susan McKibbin.
This donation will be designated to meet the track needs at V.L. Murray Elementary School.
The Albemarle Resource Center (ARC) experienced embezzlement during the 04/05 Fiscal Year. The person
responsible for the embezzlement has reimbursed the ARC $17,282.74.
Stone Robinson Elementary School received a donation in the amount of $8,600.00 from the Stone Robinson PTO.
This donation will be used to reimburse teachers for their out of pocket expenses.
Appropriation #2006033 $1.250.00
At its meeting on November 3, 2005, the Albemarle County School Board approved the following appropriation
request:
Jack Jouett Middle School received a donation in the amount of $50.00 from Jessica Servis. It has been requested
that this donation be used to support students with special needs at Jack Jouett Middle School.
Cale Elementary School received donations totaling $200.00: Philip Gerard donated $100.00, Jill K. Leahman
donated $71.00, and Ruth A. Leahman donated $29.00. It has been requested that these donations be used to
meet the needs of the music department at Cale Elementary School.
Monticello High School received a donation in the amount of $1,000.00 from Douglas W. Dupont. It has been
requested that this donation go towards the needs of the program, Art Infusion, at Monticello High School.
Appropriation #2006034 $53,797.00
At the end of FY2005 funds in the amount of $26,747.00 were unexpended in the General Government Vehicle
Replacement Fund for a vehicle to be purchased by General Services. This vehicle has now been purchased and
will require the reappropriation of these funds.
When vehicles are scheduled for replacement staff reviews the vehicle requests to determine if a hybrid vehicle can
be used to meet the department's needs. An additional appropriation in the General Government Vehicle
Replacement Fund is also needed to fund the increased costs associated with the purchase of hybrid vehicles in
General Services and Real Estate. These additional funds, totaling $27,050.00, will be funded from the fund balance
in the Replacement Fund.
Appropriation #2006035 $7,000.00
The Department of Emergency Medical Services-Rescue Squad Assistance Fund has granted the Fire/Rescue
department specifically the Recruitment and Retention division a grant in the amount of $2,000.00 for a volunteer
display system and recruitment supplies and materials. There is a 50% local match. Wal-Mart Corporation has
donated $1,000.00 towards this local match and the Jefferson County Fire Rescue Association is contributing
$4,000.00; $1,000.00 of which will make up the remainder of local match monies.
Appropriation #2006036 $ 0
During the FY 2005106 budget process, $240,000 was allocated to fund position reclassifications primarily in public
safety, which included a complete review of all Police and Fire/Rescue personnel and the Sheriff's Office. These
funds were initially appropriated into a lump sum salary reserve. The actual reclassifications have now been
determined and an appropriation is required to move the funds into the appropriate department budgets. No
additional funds are required.

LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting ACSA Jurisdictional Area designation for water and sewer service to an approximately 2-acre
parcel located on the west side of Buck Road (Route 789), near its intersection with S1. George Avenue. (See Attachment
A) The property is located within the designated Crozet Development Area, in the Whitehall Magisterial District. The parcel
is currently designated for "water only to existing structures." The applicant is requesting water and sewer service for an
addition to be constructed on an existing house. The existing septic system located on site would not be adequate to serve
the expanded structure. The applicant prefers to connect to public sewer, and that connection would be consistent with
County utility policies. The properties adjacent to the north and south of this parcel are similarly designated (water only to
existing structures). The properties across Buck Road to the east are designated for water and sewer service.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
2.2 Protect and/or preserve the County's natural resources
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is located in the Crozet Development Area. The water supply for Crozet is provided by the Beaver
Creek Reservoir. Sewer service is provided by the Moore's Creek Treatment Plant via the Crozet Interceptor.
The Comprehensive Plan provides the following concerning the provision of water and sewer service to the Development
Areas:
"General Principle: Urban Areas, Communities, and Villages are to be served by public water and sewer (p. 114)."
"Provide water and sewer service only to areas within the ACSA Jurisdictional Areas (p. 130)."
"Follow the boundaries of the designated Development Areas in delineating Jurisdictional Areas (p.130)."
The Comprehensive Plan recommends serving the Development Areas with public water and sewer service. This parcel is
located within the Crozet Development Area, so designating it as part of the ACSA Jurisdictional Area for public water and
sewer service would align with County policy.
Staff notes that while most of this part of the Crozet Development Area is designated for water and sewer service, there are
some parcels in the area that have restricted designations ("water only", "water only to existing structures" or "limited
service") or that are not included in the Jurisdictional Area. (See Attachment B) In the future the Board may want to
consider amending the Jurisdictional Area to designate all properties within the designated Development Area for water
and sewer service.
AGENDA TITLE: Chitester Property - Request to amend the Albemarle County Service Authority Jurisdictional
Area
AGENDA DATE: December 7,2005
Page 2 of 2
BUDGET IMPACT:
The property owner will bear the costs for water and sewer hook-up.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
As a general policy, staff has advised that public utility capacity should be reserved to support development of designated
Development Areas. Since this property is located within a designated Development Area, the provision of both water and
sewer service to the property would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan public utility policy. Therefore, staff
recommends the Board of Supervisors set a public hearing date of January 4, 2006, for this request for public water and
sewer service to Tax Map 55, Parcel 50. Furthermore, staff recommends the Board direct staff to do the necessary
research and set a separate public hearing to designate all properties within the designated Development Area for water
and sewer service.

ACTION ITEMS
II
I TRANSPORTATION
Legislative Position ofTJPDC Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle. Fluvanna, Greene. Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities urge the state to establish stable and
consistent state revenues for Virginia's transportation infrastructure without heavy
reliance on the general fund or debt. The state should address funding shortfalls in
transportation construction while continuing to provide secondary road and street
maintenance funding on top of construction dollars.
Transportation will be a primary focus of the 2006 legislative session. Despite
continued documentation of the need to fund a declining transportation infrastructure, no
reliable and long-term transportation funding solutions have been approved. Absent a
major infusion of a sustained investment in transportation, Virginia faces a congestion
and mobility crisis that will stifle economic growth and negatively affect the quality of
life of our residents.
The state should direct its funding efforts at all transportation modes. Specifically,
it should account for urban area needs where public transportation is very important, the
traffic demands placed on fast-growing localities and the ongoing improvements
necessary on rural, secondary roads. These improvements are vital to our region's ability
to respond to local and regional congestion and economic development issues.
We support the ongoing state and local efforts to coordinate transportation and
land use planning, and state incentives for localities that implement such planning
practices. Unfortunately, since the early 1990's, the General Assembly has enacted
legislation that erodes local land use authority, while local government requests for
adequate public facilities ordinances and impact fees for transportation improvements and
school buildings have been handily defeated. VDOT should be mindful of local
comprehensive, land use and traillbicyc1e plans, as well as regional transportation plans,
when planning transportation systems within a locality.
We request that the state recognize that creation of any local transportation district
serve as a mechanism to enhance accompanying public and private dollars for projects in
accordance with local priorities, rather than to replace that funding. We also request that
the state provide funding for improvements along rural sections of the Rt. 29 corridor,
such as acceleration/deceleration lanes, crossovers and pedestrian walkways. In addition,
the state should allow the use of Rural Rustic Road funds to pave rural addition roads.
We support funding for the TransDominion Express with stops at Oak Ridge and
Charlottesville. We endorse the use of modem roundabouts in lieu of conventional
intersection design and allowance of signal replacement funding for construction of
roundabouts.
2
I LOCAL REVENUE AUTHORITY
Legislative Position of TJPDC, Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities urge the governor and legislature to
preserve the adequacy of local revenues so that local government leaders can take
appropriate measure to raise sufficient revenues to sustain and improve services to
the public.
We believe that changes to Virginia's tax code should not reduce local
government revenues or restrict local taxing authority. The legislature should broaden the
revenue sources available to local governments, rather than capping, removing or
restricting those sources, taxing authority or user fees. It also should equalize the
revenue-raising authority of counties with that of cities and consider sharing a portion of
state income tax revenues with localities.
Real Property: Candidates for statewide office have made various proposals for
residential property tax relief, by restricting assessment authority or tax rates, exempting
portions of value increases, or other property tax limitations. These approaches of
limiting residential tax increases could force local governments to reduce services or
impose other tax or fee increases.
Personal Property: The General Assembly must meet its obligation to localities
and fully fund car tax relief. Funding to cover the six months' shortfall in FY06 must be
appropriated in the budget and the state should promptly reimburse localities. State car
tax relief policy should not cause local cash flow problems or cause localities to lose
investment income because of a delay in reimbursement.
Telecommunications: Any changes to the telecommunications tax structure
should preserve local government revenues, on a locality-by-Iocality basis and including
those for E911 services, and guarantee that localities receive growing tax revenues from
emerging and advancing industries and services. The state should not divert any such new
revenue to address future budget shortfalls.
Mandates: We oppose unfunded state and federal mandates and the cost shifting
that occurs when the state fails to fund mandates or reduces or eliminates funding for
state-supported programs. This cost shifting reduces the ability, especially in our rural
localities, to meet local needs and forces our citizens to bear local tax and fee increases
(which our localities have implemented) to pay for such programs and services. State
funding reductions for state-required services/programs should be accompanied by
relaxation of the state req uirement.
Finally, we believe the state should consider paying all costs for fully funding
certain state programs carried out at the local level, such as constitutional officers. We
also request that the state undertake long term planning in establishing VRS rates so that
localities are not burdened with significant year-to-year rate changes.
3
I PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING
Legislative Position ofTJPDC, Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle. Fluvanna. Greene, Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities believe the state should fund its share of
the realistic costs of meeting the Standards of Quality (SOQ) and enhance teacher
salaries to help recruit and retain high-quality instructional personnel.
It is essential that the state fully meet its responsibilities to fund its share of public
education costs. In 2004, the state acknowledged that localities have greatly exceed their
mandated responsibilities for education funding, by providing dollars for initiatives
already being paid for by local governments, such as resource and technology personnel
and planning time for teachers. State funds required during the next biennium associated
with increased costs for the SOQ are expected to reach nearly $1 billion.
Though the recent state investments in public education were appreciated, we
continue to believe that additional state revenues are necessary for the Commonwealth to
meet its responsibility for funding education, specifically as enumerated by the 2001
JLARC recommendations and the 2003 Board of Education (BOE) initiatives. The
BOE's unaddressed changes to the SOQ include enhanced principal and assistant
principal staffing, reading specialists and lower speech language pathology caseloads.
Regarding teacher salaries, the state budgeted salary figure (on which it bases its
share of teacher costs) falls well below both the statewide and national averages. For
FY04, the state budget amount was only about 85% of the statewide average salary and
80% of the national average. About three-quarters of the state's school divisions pay
more to their teachers than the state budgeted salary amount.
Concerning apportionment of education funding, the state should consider the
effects on localities of such factors as land use taxation, revenue sharing and poverty.
Regarding school capital needs, we continue to urge state financial assistance with school
construction and renovation needs. We also remain concerned about the continued
raiding of the Literary Fund, historically used to provide low interest loans for school
construction, to pay for teacher retirement.
Finally, as our school divisions make progress toward meeting the Standards of
Accreditation (SOA) accountability goals for both schools and students, and face
increased costs for complying with accountability provisions of the federal No Child Left
Behind (NCLB) Act, any reductions in state education funding would hinder the efforts
being made.
4
COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES ACT
Legislative Position of TJPDC, Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities support full funding of the state pool for
the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA), with allocations based on realistic
anticipated levels of need, and a cap on local expenditures for serving a child
through CSA.
Since the inception of the Comprehensive Services Act over a decade ago, there
has been pressure to hold down costs, to cap state costs for serving mandated children, to
increase local match levels and to make the program more uniform by attempting to
control how localities run their programs. During this time, state and local costs of
residential and non-residential mandated services continued to increase. Initial state
appropriations for CSA typically fall short each year, challenging the state to find its
share of funding and forcing localities to request supplemental state appropriations.
Many localities across the state exhaust their annual base allocation before the end
of the year. We believe the distinction between base and supplemental budgets should be
eliminated. We also support a state cap on local expenditures to combat higher local costs
for serving mandated children, costs which in many instances are driven by unanticipated
placements in a locality. We support enhanced state funding for CSA administrative costs
and services for non-mandated children. We believe that the categories of populations
mandated for services should not be expanded unless the state pays all the costs.
We urge the state to establish state contracts with CSA providers to provide for a
uniform contract management process, improve vendor accountability and control costs.
We also encourage the state to be proactive in making service providers available,
especially in rural areas, and to support local and regional efforts to address areas of cost
sharing among localities by procuring services through group negotiation.
I PUBLIC SAFETY
Legislative Position ofTJPDC, Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities encourage state financial support,
cooperation and assistance for law enforcement, emergency medical care, criminal
justice activities and fire services responsibilities carried out locally.
We encourage the state to make Compensation Board funding a top priority. The
Compensation Board should fully fund local positions that fall under its purview. It
should not increase the local share of funding constitutional offices or divert funding
away from local offices, but increase money needed for their operation. Local
5
governments continue to provide much supplemental funding for constitutional officer
budgets, which were shortchanged in recent years.
The state should not adopt language that would disallow exemptions from the
federal prisoner offset and should maintain the per diem payment to localities for housing
state-responsible prisoners. We encourage shared funding by the state of the costs to
construct and operate regional jails; however, we do not believe the state should operate
local and regional jails.
In addition, we support the following:
· Continued state funding of the HB 599 law enforcement program.
· State support of local governments in the delivery of emergency services by
ensuring that telecommunication systems provide optimal information to adequately
address emergency situations.
· Changes to state laws governing mopeds and similar vehicles that will assist local
law enforcement toward ensuring community safety.
· Continued state funding of drug courts, which have proven to save dollars and
lower rates of recidivism.
· Continued state funding for services under the Pre-Release and Post-Incarceration
Services (P APIS), Community Corrections and Pretrial Services Acts.
· Local participation in planning processes for homeland security measures.

Award Program.
· Legislation that will prevent convicted domestic abusers from being allowed to
possess a gun, as exists in federal law.
I LAND USE AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Legislative Position ofTJPDC, Charlottesville,
and the Counties of Albemarle. Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson
The Planning District's member localities oppose any preemption or circumvention
of existing local authority to regulate land use and encourage the state to provide
local governments with additional tools to manage growth.
Current land use authority often is inadequate to allow local governments to
provide for balanced, sustainable growth in a manner that protects and improves quality
of life. This has posed particular challenges for fast-growing localities, which often need
additional powers to shape and mange growth. Unfortunately, in recent years, the state
has limited local governments in their efforts to manage growth by enacting provisions
that reduced local authority to implement the comprehensive plan or to regulate land use.
The state should resist any further restrictions on these local powers.
To enhance the ability of local governments to pay for infrastructure costs and to
support services associated with new developments, we support legislation allowing
localities to adopt ordinances that include provisions for determining whether public
6
facilities are adequate ("adequate public facility," or APF ordinances). Such ordinances
require that proposals for new residential projects provide payment for or be timed to
coordinate with construction or upgrade of public facilities necessitated by the new
development.
In addition, we have the following recommendations:
· We support enabling legislation that would provide local governments with
various additional tools, such as impact fees, flexibility for proffers, and transfer and
purchase of development rights, to manage growth.
· The General Assembly should not unduly restrict the ability of local governments
to acquire property necessary to carry out their governmental functions, including
schools, transportation facilities and redevelopment projects carried out by a
governmental entity to avoid and abate blight. However, we do not endorse the use of
eminent domain for purely economic development purposes.
· We support 1) dedicated state funding to acquire, preserve and maintain open
space and recreation lands, including directing available federal funds to localities, and 2)
the full authority to generate local dollars for such efforts.
· We endorse legislation to enable localities to enact scenic protection and tourist
enhancement districts.
· We support an examination of various state laws and regulations for conflicts in
provisions addressing local land use.
II
AREAS OF CONTINUING CONCERN
II
I ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Planning District's member localities recognize economic development and
workforce training as essential to the continued viability of the Commonwealth. We
support policies that closely link the goals of economic development and workforce
development and that result in an increased standard of living for all residents.
· We support an Economic Development Strategic Plan for the Commonwealth that
more clearly defines responsibilities of state and local governments and includes new
tools for local governments to use in attracting economic development opportunities.
· We support restored funding for the Regional Competitiveness Act to continue
meaningful opportunities for regional projects. We also support restored state funding for
the Industrial Site Development Fund, the Governor's Opportunity Fund and tourism
initiatives that help promote economic development in localities and regions.
· The state should recot,1J1ize the disparity in rewards of economic development
between the state and localities, as well as between host locality and surrounding areas.
· We encourage the state and local governments to work with other entities to
identify and promote local, regional and state agricultural products.
7
I ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
The Planning District's member localities believe that environmental quality should be
funded and promoted through a comprehensive approach and address air and water
quality, solid waste management, land conservation and land use policies. Weare
committed to the protection and enhancement of the environment and recognize the need
to achieve a proper balance between environmental regulation and the socio-economic
health of our communities within the constraints of available revenues. Such an approach
requires regional cooperation due to the inter-jurisdictional nature of many environmental
resources and adequate state funding to support local and regional efforts.
We believe the following:
. The state should not impose a fee, tax or surcharge on water, sewer, solid waste or
other local services to pay for state environmental programs. To do so would set a
disturbing precedent whereby the state could levy surcharges on local user fees to fund
state priorities.
. The state should be a partner and advocate for localities in water supply
development, and should work with and assist localities in addressing water supply
issues, including investing in regional projects. Specifically, the state should provide
funds from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to promote regional
solutions to improving water supply. Also, the state's water supply planning efforts
should continue to involve local governments.
. The state should reduce permit application fees associated with storm water
management and stream mitigation projects, as recent fee increases have adversely
impacted local abilities to adopt regional storm water management programs and to
undertake projects needed for stream protection. Fees should be used only to cover costs
of administering the program.
. The state should 1) ensure landfill closure schedules permit facilities posing no
threat to property or the public to continue to operate through their allowable life, and 2)
provide adequate funding for landfill closure and post-closure costs.
. The legislature should provide funding for wastewater treatment and other
necessary assistance to localities as it works to clean up the state's impaired waterways,
while ensuring that system design standards remain compatible with any new state
requirements. The state also should explore alternative means of preventing and
remediating water pollution.
. The state should not enact legislation mandating expansion of the area covered by
the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Instead, the state should provide legal, financial
and technical support to localities that wish to comply with any of the Act's provisions,
allow localities to use other practices to improve water quality and provide funding for
other strategies that address point and non-point pollution.
. The state should allow material reuse to be counted when it defines how the
mandatory minimum 25% recycling rate is to be calculated.
. We support increased local government representation on the Biosolids Use
Regulation Advisory Committee (BURAC).
8
[ HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
The Planning District's member localities recognize that special attention must be given
to developing circumstances under which people, especially the disabled, the poor, the
young and the elderly, can achieve their full potential. Reductions to community agencies
are especially troublesome, as their activities often end up preventing more costly
services later. The delivery of health and human services must be a collaborative effort
from federal, state and local agencies. We urge the General Assembly to ensure funding
is available to continue such valuable preventive services.
· We oppose any changes in state funding or policies that result in an increase of
the local share of costs for human services, including changes that would require
additional local contributions for indigent care.
· There state should be no further reductions increase funding to the Virginia
Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) program, which has produced a
statewide 25% drop in Department of Juvenile Justice commitments since 1998. Further,
the state should maintain a formula-driven allocation process for VJCCCA funding.
· The state should fund local Offices on Youth and provide sufficient funding to
allow Community Services Boards to meet the challenges of providing a community-
based system of care, including maximizing the use of Medicaid funding. We support
state action to increase I) investment in the MR waiver program for adults and young
people.. and 2) Medicaid reimbursement for children's dental services~,and funds for the
determination of eligibility and administrative impact of the Medicare Part D prescription
drug program. We also oppose any shifting of Medicaid matching requirements from the
state to localities.
· We support efforts to fund mental health and substance abuse services at juvenile
detention centers and to examine adult and ju','enile group homes.
· We oppose new state or federal entitlement programs that require additional local
funding.
· We support sufficient state funding for local social services facilities and for local
departments to maintain adequate office space to deliver services. We also request that
the state provide funds for staffing local social services departments to 1) determine
eligibility for residents seeking social services such as Medicaid, food stamps and
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (T ANF), and 2) meet federal child and family
services review goals. We also support state assistance for providing pre-admission
screening services for nursing homes and for prompt investigation and services in cases
involving abuse, neglect or exploitation of the elderly or disabled.
· We support continued state funding for local Disability Services Boards, as well
as restored state dollars for the Rehabilitative Services Incentive Fund.
· We support sufficient state funding assistance for older residents, to include
companion and in home services, home delivered meals and transportation.
· We support the continued operation and enhancement of early intervention and
prevention programs, including school-based prevention programs which can make a
difference in children's lives. This would include the state's program for at-risk four-
year-olds, the Child Health Partnership and Healthy Families programs. The state should
9
not use Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (T ANFj monies to fund such programs,
as localities cannot use federal T ANF funds as match for other federally funded
prevention programs. To do so only serves to shift costs to localities seeking to leverage
federal dollars for services and administration.
· We support Virginia's welfare reform program and encourage efforts to promote
family preservation and work requirements. We support initiatives and funding to help
former VIEW participants maintain continuity in childcare and oppose any initiatives to
shift traditional federal and state childcare administrative responsibility and costs to local
governments. We support state efforts to expand access to education and training needed
by welfare recipients to become employed and self-supporting. We believe the current
funding and program responsibility for T ANF employment services should remain within
the social services realm. We also support a T ANF plan that takes into account and fully
funds state and local implementation and support services costs. The state should take
advantage of T ANF reauthorization to streamline eligibility requirements and provide
maximum flexibility to localities.
I HOUSING
The Planning District's member localities believe that every citizen should have an
opportunity to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing. The state and local governments
should work toward expanding and preserving the supply and improving the quality of
affordable housing for the elderly, the disabled and low- and moderate-income
households. Regional housing solutions and planning should be implemented whenever
possible.
· We support changes to the Code to allow local flexibility in the operation of
affordable housing programs~ and establishment of affordable dwelling unit ordinances-;-
and the award of grants and loans to low or moderate-income persons to aid in
purchasing dwellings.
· We support measures to prevent homelessness and to assist the chronic homeless.
· We support incentives that encourage rehabilitation and preservation of historic
structures.
· In addressing the lack of input that local governments have concerning housing
issues, we support local government notice provisions for all proposed low and moderate-
income housing projects seeking federal tax credits, including VHDA.
· We support VHDA criteria for funding which encourages rehabilitation of
existing housing and discourages new construction in close proximity to existing
subsidized housing.
· We support retaining local discretion to regulate the allowance of manufactured
homes in zoning districts that permit single-family dwellings.
· We encourage and support the use of environmentally friendly (green) building
materials and techniques, which can contribute to the long-term health, vitality, and
sustainability of the region.
10
I LOCAL GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE AND LA WS
The Planning District's member localities believe that since so many governmental
actions take place at the local level, a strong local government system is essential. Local
governments must have the freedom and tools to carry out their responsibilities.
. We support legislation to enhance the ability of local governments to provide
services required by citizens and to meet their responsibilities in state/local partnerships.
Accordingly, we support a requirement for state agencies to notify localities of planned
construction projects that may affect the locality's comprehensive plan.
. We oppose intrusive legislation involving purchasing procedures; local
government authority to establish hours of work, salaries and working conditions for
local employees; matters that can be adopted by resolution or ordinance; and procedures
for adopting ordinances. We do, however, encourage the state to authorize localities to
utilize an administrative hearing officer in lieu of the three-member panel in all grievance
cases, similar to the method established for state employees.
. We request that any changes to the Virginia Freedom ofInformation Act (FOIA)
preserve a local governing body's ability to meet in closed session, as well as the list of
records currently exempt from disclosure under FOIA and provisions concerning creation
of customized computer records.
. We support local requests to the state for enabling legislation to increase the
income and financial worth limitations for real property tax exemption or deferral
programs.
. We encourage clarification of Code provisions that stipulate law enforcement
responsibilities when transporting persons for whom a temporary detention order has
been issued for emergency medical treatment or evaluation.
. The state should amend the Code to require litigants in civil cases to pay for the
costs associated with compensating jury members.
. We support state funding for regional planning districts.
· The state must ensure that the continued implementation of electric utility
restructuring is revenue neutral to localities and that any necessary stopgap
appropriations to adversely affected localities are fully funded.
· We support legislation to increase permissible fees for courthouse maintenance.
· The state should ensure that local connectivity and compatibility are considered in
any centralizing of state computer functions.
· We oppose any changes to state law that further weaken a locality's ability to
regulate noise.
· We support changes to dangerous and vicious dog provisions that provide added
authority and flexibility for localities regulating such animals kept by residents.
· We request that the state grant all counties the same authorization as cities ha'le to
regulate panhandlers.
. 'lle support funding for a full time Commomvealth's .^.ttorney in Greene County.

REVIEWED BY:
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The County has received a request from the Camellia Garden Homeowners Association (CGHOA) to install a "Watch for Child
Playing" sign on Albert Court (Attachment A). Albert Court is located off of Whitewood Road, near the intersection of Whitewood
Road and Greenbrier Drive. Camellia Gardens is also located adjacent to Charlotte Humphris Park.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
3.1 Make the County a Safe and Healthy Community in which citizens feel secure to live, work and play.
DISCUSSION:
The County has developed criteria for reviewing a "Child at Play" sign installation request. The criteria and staff comments are
provided below.
1. "Child At Play" siqns shall only be considered on secondary roads.
Albert Court is in the Secondary Road System (Route 1491).
2. The request must come from a Homeowner's Association where applicable.
This request has been made by the Camellia Garden Homeowners Association (Attachment A).
3. There must be child activity attraction nearby for the siqn to be considered.
There is no established tot lot, playground or recreational area within the Albert Court neighborhood. However, the neighborhood is
located adjacent to Humphris Park and residents and children will cross the road and cut through lots to access the park. There are
fifteen residential duplex structures and there are children residing in the neighborhood. Albert Court is a "U" shaped curved road
with poor sight distance. Sidewalks are only located on the inside "loop" of Albert Court. Staff believes that "Child at Play" signs will
give notice to the traveling public that children may be in the area and using the road to get from one home to another or to
Humphris Park to play. Due to the proximity of Humphris Park, staff is of the opinion that this request meets the intent of this
criterion.
4. The installation of the siqn shall not conflict with any existinq traffic control devices.
The proposed location of the signs will not conflict with any existing traffic control devices.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The average cost to install a sign is approximately $125. VDOT will utilize the County's secondary road maintenance funds to install
the signs.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff opinion is that this request meets all four evaluation criteria and recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the attached
resolution (Attachment B) supporting the installation of "Watch for Child Playing" signs on Albert Court.

Attn: Mr. Juan Wade

Charlottesville, V A 22902
Dear Mr. Wade,
On behalf of the Camellia Garden Homeowners Association (CGHOA) I am requesting a sign be
installed on Albert Court warning drivers to
"Slow Down, Watch for Children Playing".
CGHOA is comprised of all homeowners on Albert Court, which is a horseshoe-shaped street off
Whitewood Drive comprised of fifteen residential duplex structures on thirty lots. As the
property lots are so small and there is no open area in which the neighborhood children can play,
they ride their bicycles and play ball and other games in the street. Due to the curved shape of the
street and because there is unrestricted parking along both sides of the street, line-of-sight
visibility is very limited and residents fear that drivers moving too fast may not be able to react
to children darting after a ball or veering into the street on their bikes.
Attached for your convenience is graphic representation of our street.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to contact me at
(434) 973-9438.
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of our proposal.
Sincerely,
~~~J
Christine Bendas
President
Camellia Garden Homeowners Association

RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS- Tax Map 97, Parcel
19 (Property of Paul and Julia Given) Section 10.3.1
Dear Mr. and Ms. Given:
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
Tax Map 97, Parcel 19 is comprised of three separate parcels. Parcel 1 contains 118
acres and five (5) development rights. Parcel 2 contains 40 acres and five (5)
development rights. Parcel 3 contains 3.3 acres and one (1) development right. The
approximate location of these parcels of the parcels is sketched on the tax map and
enclosed. The actual location of the parcels must be determined by survey. The basis
for this determination is provided below.
Our records indicate Tax Map 97, Parcel 19 contains 161.300 acres and one dwelling.
The property is not in an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent deed for this
property is recorded in Deed Book 2181, page 674.
This analysis begins with the deed recorded in Deed Book 146, page 457 and dated
July 14, 1911. This deed conveyed two tracts or parcels from W. G. Moran & Eva J.
Moran and J. M. Thorniley & Columbia Thorniley to Frederick H. Schroder and
described as follows:.
The first of the tracts is described as containing 118 acres and further described
by metes and bounds and by reference to Deed Book 141, page 160.
The second of the tracts is described as containing about 40 acres and further
described by metes and bou nds and by reference to Deed Book 141, page 161.
These parcels are shown on a sketch among the records in the Real Estate
Department. This deed established the 118-acre parcel and the 40-acre parcel as
separate parcels of record.

Paul and Julia Given
November 4, 2005
Page 2
Deed Book 164, page 59, dated October 31, 1916 conveyed 3.3 acres from W. A. Curd
& Louise Curd to Frederick H. Schroder. The property is described by reference to Deed
Book 148, page 293 and is shown on a plat attached to the deed. County real estate
records show that this parcel was divided from what is now designated as Parcel 17 on
Tax Map 97. This deed established the 3.3-acre parcel is a separate parcel of
record.
The most recent deed for this parcel recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance, December 10, 1980, is recorded in Deed Book 435, page 393
and is dated October 6, 1967. This deed conveyed a one half undivided interest in three
certain tracts of land from Anne H. May to Anne M. Wetherill and Philip S. May. The
property is described, in part, as follows:
FIRST: Those two certain tracts containing118 acres and 40 acres respectively
conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 146, page 457.
SECOND: That certain tract containing 3.3 acres conveyed by the deed of record
in Deed Book 164, page 59.
On the basis of this deed the 40-acre parcel had five (5) development rights, the
118-acre parcel has five (5) development rights and the 3.3-acre parcel had one
(1) development right when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted.
Deed Book 1978, page 661, dated July 11, 2000, conveyed a one half undivided
interest in two parcels from Philip S. May to Edward B. Wetherill. These three parcels,
containing 40 acres, 118 acres and 3.3 acres are the same parcels that were described
in Deed Book 435, page 393. This deed had no effect on the development rights of
the three parcels.
Deed Book 2181, page 674, dated April 10, 2002, conveyed three tracts of land from
Edward B. Wetherill to Paul Given and Julia Given. The deed notes that the Grantor
acquired the property by the will of Anne May Wetherill. The property is described by
reference to Deed Book 1978, page 661. This deed had no effect on the
development rights of the three parcels.
This parcel is entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable regulations
can be met. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do represent the
maximum number of lots containing less than twenty one acres allowed to be created
by right. In addition to the development right lots, a "parent parcel" may create as many
parcels containing a minimum of twenty-one acres as it has land to make.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days
of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of
the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
1:\DEPT\BCZS\Determin of Parcel\2005\97 -19 Given.doc

and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of
$120.00. The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this
letter.

RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS- Tax Map 20, Parcel
3A and 3C7 (Property of Eleanor C. Godsey, Trustee) Section 10.3,1
Dear Ms. Godsey:
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
the property designated as Tax Map 20, Parcel 3A7 and 3A is actually one parcel of
land with a total of two (2) development rights. The basis for this determination is
provided below.
Our records indicate Tax Map 20, Parcel 3A contains 1.25 acres and one dwelling. The
property is not in an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent deed for this
property is recorded in Deed Book 3072, page 467.
Our records indicate Tax Map 20, Parcel 3C7 contains 6.924 acres and no dwellings.
The property is not in an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent deed for this
property is recorded in Deed Book 3072, page 467.
This analysis begins with Deed Book 400, page 287 that is dated August 7, 1964. This
deed conveyed two parcels from Robert C. Langlotz and Grace Langlotz to Mutter W.
Hageman(n). The two parcels are described as follows:
FIRST: All that certain parcel containing 77.88 acres on the northwest side of
Route 743 all in Albemarle County. It is further described as being the same
parcel that was conveyed to the Grantors by the deed of record in Deed Book
313, page 438.
Second: All that certain parcel containing 31 acres on the northeast side of Route
743 located partly in Greene but predominantly in Albemarle County. It is further
described as being the same parcel that was conveyed to the Grantors by the
1:\DEPT\BCZS\Determin of Parcel\2005\20-3A + 3C7 Godsey.doc
Alice Nye Fitch
November 3, 2005
Page 2
deed of record in Deed Book 317, page 273. The subject of this determination is
a portion of this 31-acre parcel.
This deed established the portion of the 31-acre tract that is located in Albemarle
County and the 77.88-acre tract as separate parcels of record as defined in the
Zoning Ordinance.
Deed Book 464, page 105, dated September 9, 1969, and recorded on September 26,
1969, conveyed 108.75 acres from Mutter W. Hagemann and James A. Hagemann to
L.eroy C. Petty. The property is described as being the same property conveyed to
Mutter W. Hagemann by the deed of record in Deed Book 400, page 287. The property
is shown on a plat by Warren S. Wade dated September 8, 1969. The plat designates
the portion in Albemarle, containing 102.10 acres as Parcel A. The portion in Greene
County, containing 6.65 acres, is designated as Parcel B.
This deed also conveyed a life estate to Obert R. Davis with the remainder to Leroy C.
Petty, described as "all that certain tract or parcel of land on which is situated the
residence of Obert R. Davis and the curtilage of approximately one (1) acre, together
with a right of right of ingress and egress from the State Highway, which property was
acquired by the parties of the first part as aforesaid."
It is determined that the reference to Deed Book 400, page 287 preserved the
separate identities of the 77.88-acre parcel and the 32-acre parcel.
It is further determined that the life estate for Obert R. Davis did not establish the
undefined1-acre tract as a separate lot of record. The Zoning Ordinance as
amended on April 17 and May 15, 1969 required that a lot in the A-1 District
contain a minimum of two acres. Since this approximately 1-acre life estate
contains less than 2 acres and was not shown on the September 8, 1969 Warren
Wade plat it does not meet the definition of a lot of record. The definition is
provided below.
Lot a/record: The term "lot ofrecord" means 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. (Amended 6-14-00)
Deed Book 485, page 506, dated April 1 , 1971, conveyed 1 08.75 acres from Leroy C.
Petty and Virginia B. Petty to William L. Hanaway. The property is described as being
the same as was conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 464, page 105. This
deed further notes that the property is subject to the life estate granted to Obert R.
Davis in said deed. This transaction had no effect on the legal status of the subject
property.
1:\DEPT\BCZS\Determin of Parcel\2005\20-3A + 3C7 Godsey.doc
Alice Nye Fitch
November 3, 2005
Page ~...
Deed Book 516, page 243, dated October 9, 1972, conveyed three parcels from
acres from William L. Hanaway and Nell P. Hanaway to Ray L. Leake and Mary V.
Leake. The parcels are described, in part, as follows:
One: 1-1/2 acres located at the intersection of Route 743 and Route 605. This
lot is designated as Parcel 4 on Tax Map 20. It is not a subject of this
determination.
Two: 107.59 acres located on both side of Route 743 and as being the same
property as was conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 485, page 506.
The deed references the sale of 1.16 acres from the original tract to William L.
Hanaway as a right of way in an Exchange Deed of May 24, 1971. The deed
reference in not provided. The 1.16-acre parcel was added to T.M. 20 - 3C5 that
is located on the we';t side of Route 743. This transaction had no effect on the
legal status of the subject property.
Three: 11.48 acres near the Greene County line. This is shown on a plat of
record in Deed Book 489, page 274. This parcel is a portion of T.M. 20 - 2 that is
located on the west side of Route 743. This transaction had no effect on the
legal status or development rights of the subject property. It is not a
subject of this determination.
Deed Book 524, page 379, dated February 16, 1973, clarified the right, title and interest
Obert R. Davis may have had in the life estate conveyed to him by the deed of record in
Deed Book 464, page 105. This deed notes that neither the metes and bounds of said
1-1/4 acre life estate nor the location of the right of way were contained in said grant.
This deed established that the life estate existed on the property on the east side of
Route 743 and eliminated any claim of the life estate on property on the west side of
Route 743. This deed supports the finding that the life estate was not established
as a separate platted parcel. This transaction had no effect on the legal status of
the subject property.
The most recent deed for this parcel recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance, December 10, 1980, is recorded in Deed Book 525, page 376 and is dated
March 5, 1973. This deed conveyed 32 acres from Ray L. Leake and Mary V. Leake to
Roie M. Godsey and Eleanor C. Godsey. The property is described as the portion of
Parcel A on the plat by Warren Wade, located on the eastern side of Route 743 and all
of Parcel B, containing 6.65 acres. The deed contains a reference to the deed dated
February 16, 1973 and recorded in Deed Book 524, page 379 for a more complete
description of the real estate hereby conveyed. On the basis of this deed, the portion
of the 32-acre parcel that is located in Albemarle County is one (1) parcel of
record with five (5) development rights. The tax map identified the 1-acre life
estate as Parcel 3A. This was for tax purposes only, The numbered tax parcel did
not and can not establish a life estate as a parcel of record.

Deed Book 899, page 688, dated August 18, 1986, conveyed 22.332 acres from Roie
M. Godsey and Eleanor C. Godsey to Vernon H. Baker and Virginia L. Baker. The land
that was off-conveyed is shown as Parcel B on a plat by Wm. Morris Foster. The deed
notes that approximately 6.9 acres of the property is located in Greene County and that
this is a portion of the land conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 525, page
376. The plat assigned 3 development rights to Parcel B, containing 22.332 acres and 2
development rights to Parcel A containing 6.924 acres. The plat notes that Parcel A, the
subject of this determination, is to be added and become part of T.M. 20 - 3A, shown to
contain 1.25 acres. On the basis of this deed, Parcel A, containing 6,924 acres and
T.M. 20-3A are determined to be one parcel with a total of two (2) development
rights,
Deed Book 1435, page 79, dated September 20, 1994, conveyed 8.174 acres from Roie
M. Godsey and Eleanor C. Godsey to Eleanor C. Godsey, TrustE:e under Declaration of
Trust dated September 8, 1994. The property is described as two parcels of land to be
combined together as shown on the plat by Morris Foster. The property is further
described by reference to Deed Book 899, page 691 and Deed Book 525, page 376.
This transaction had no effect on the legal status or development rights of the
subject property.
Deed Book 3072, page 467, dated September 12, 2005, contains a deed of release in
which Obert R. Davis conveyed his life estate to Eleanor C. Godsey. The land is
identified as that conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 464, page 105 and
described as a 1.25-acre portion of land affecting TMP 20-3C7 and 3A. This
transaction had no effect on the legal status or development rights of the subject
property.
This parcel is entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable regulations
can be met. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do represent the
maximum number of lots containing less than twenty one acres allowed to be created
by right. In addition to the development right lots, a "parent parcel" may create as many
parcels containing a minimum of twenty-one acres as it has land to make.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days
of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of
the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of
$120.00. The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this
letter.

RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF PARCELS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS u
Tax Map 86, Parcels 27 (Property of Boaz Mountain LLC) Section 10.3.1
Dear Mr. Ray:
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
Tax Map 86, Parcel 27 is comprised of four separate parcels. These acreage figures are
provided by Roger W. Ray & Assoc.
1. The remainder of the Toole Tract, containing 16 acres and located on both sides
of Route 29, has five (5) development rights.
2. The remainder of the Dower Tract, containing 115 acres, has five (5)
development rights.
3. The remainder of the Darrow Tract, containing 2.1 acres and located on both
sides of F<oute 29, has one (1) development right.
4. The J. Sutherland Residue, containing 324.56 acres, has five (5) development
rights.
The basis for this determination follows.
Our records indicate Tax Map 86, Parcel 27 contains 458.81 acres and one dwelling.
The property is in the Hardware Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent
recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 3057, page 299.
Darrow Tract
The analysis for this parcel begins with the deed recorded in Deed Book 68, page 619
that is dated March 12,1874. This deed conveyed 20.8 acres from Henry R. Darrow
and Sarah Darrow to Joseph Sutherland, Jr. The property is described as lying at the
Cross Roads in the County of Albemarle and further by metes and bounds. Portions of
the original Darrow Tract were later incorporated into the Dower Tract. This deed
1:IDEPT\BCZSIDetermin of Parcel\2005186-27 Boaz Mountain.doc
Brian S. Ray
November 4,2005
Page 2
established the original Darrow Tract as a parcel of record.
Dower Tract
The analysis for this parcel begins with the deed recorded in Deed Book 98, page 130,
dated September 19,1892. This deed conveyed 119.5 acres from the Estate of Joseph
Sutherland to his widow, Annie E. Sutherland. The Dower Tract includes a portion of the
original 20.8-acre Darrow Tract. It is determined that the portion of the Darrow Tract
became part of the Dower tract and did not maintain a separate identity. This deed
established the original 119.5-acre Dower Tract as a parcel of record. This
transaction reduced the acreage of the original Darrow Tract. The creation of this
parcel served to physically divide the Joseph Sutherland property into two
parcels. However, the deed does not describe the residue as separate parcels.
The plat shows the location of the 0.7 -acre portion of the Sutherland residue but
does not further identify it as a separate parcel. Therefore, it is determined that
this deed did not legally separate the Sutherland residue into separate parcels of
record. This deed established the J. Sutherland Tract as a parcel of record.
Deed Book 136, page 403, dated June 10, 1907, conveyed 119.5 acres from F. E.
Anderson & Edward Anderson, Clara Morris and 1. R. Morris to Mortimer Y. Sutherland.
The property is described by reference to a plat of record in Deed Book 98, page 130.
This transaction has no effect on the status of the Dower Tract as a parcel of
record.
J. Sutherland, Jr. Residue Tract
Deed Book 99, page 458, dated August 14,1893, conveyed 318 acres from Joseph
Eugene Sutherland & Nellie Sutherland, Charles R. Sutherland & Agnes N. Sutherland,
F.E. Anderson & Fannie E. Anderson, Clara S. Morris & T. R. Morris to M. Y.
Sutherland. This is the residue of the 428.5-acre tract shown on a plat recorded in Will
Book 28, Page 27 after the off-conveyance of the 119.5-acre Dower Tract that is
described above. This transaction had no effect on the legal status of this property
as a parcel of record.
Toole Tract
The analysis for this parcel begins with the deed recorded in Deed Book 82, page 3 that
is dated January 12, 1883. This deed conveyed 67 acres from Mary J. Toole to Joseph
Sutherland. The property is described as being the balance of the tract of land
purchased by John S. Toole from J. P. Mann, Trustee. This deed established the
Toole Tract as a parcel of record.
Deed Book 149, page 446, dated January 21, 1911, conveyed 78 ;/z acres from C. R.
Sutherland & Nina Sutherland, Edward Anderson & F.E. Anderson, T. R. Morris & Clara
Morris and J. E. Sutherland & Nellie Sutherland to M. Y. Sutherland. The discrepancy
between 67 and 78.5 acres is not explained. This discrepancy has no effect on the
determination that the Toole Tract is a parcel of record.

The most recent deed for the 318-acre J. Sutherland, Jr. Residue Tract and the Dower
Tract recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10, 1980 is
recorded in Deed Book 281, page 117, dated August 21, 1943, conveyed 2 parcels of
land from Elizabeth Sutherland, Frances Sutherland Carpenter & Richard W. Carpenter,
Helen S. Berkeley & Francis L. Berkeley and Peggy Sutherland Johnson & Walter K.
Johnson to M.Y. Sutherland, Jr. and Ethel W. Sutherland. Parcel FIRST is described as
containing 475.41 acres. This was property originally containing a total of 516.30 acres
of the M.Y. Sutherland Estate that was acquired as follows:
428.50 acres from the subdivision of the Estate of his father, Joseph Sutherland,
a plat of which is spread in Will Book 28, page 77.
The 428.5-acre tract is shown on a plat recorded in Will Book 28, page 75.
The property is comprised of the 318-acre J. Sutherland, Jr. Tract and a
portion of the 119.5-acre Dower Tract. It is determined that this will did
not serve to combine the Sutherland and Dower tracts.
20.80 acres from H. A. Darrow and wife by deed dated March 12, 1874, in Deed
Book 68, page 619.
67 acres from Mary J. Toole by deed dated January 12, 1883, Deed Book 82,
page 3.
The share of the other heirs of Joseph Sutherland in all of said land were conveyed to
M. Y. Sutherland by the following deeds: Deed Book 99, page 458; Deed Book 113,
page 14; Deed Book 133, page 297; Deed Book 136, page 403 and Deed Book 149,
page 446.
The deed notes that, during his lifetime, M. Y. Sutherland and wife made the following
conveyances off of the land leaving a total at the time of his death of about 475.41
acres:
20 acres to W. E. Page
2 acres to Trustees of the Zion Hill Baptist Church
1.5 acres to Samuel Miller District School
10 acres to C. Walker
3.31 acres to Commonwealth of Virginia
4.08 acres to Commonwealth of Virginia
As a result of this transaction and the above off-conveyances, the property
consisted of four (4) parcels of land. These acreages are based on the original
deeds and plats.
1. The portion of the J. Sutherland, Jr, property containing 318 acres.
2. The Dower Tract containing 119,5 acres.
3. The residue of the Darrow Tract, containing approximately 4 acres. The parcel
is located on both sides of Route 29.

4. The residue of the residue of the Toole Tract, containing 16 acres. The parcel is
located on both sides of Route 29.
The most recent deed for Toole Tract recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance, December 10, 1980 is recorded in Deed Book 288, page 184. This deed,
dated March 15, 1950, conveyed 1 acre from M. Y. Sutherland to Harry Walker. The
parcel is described as lying on the northwest side of Route 29 approximately 1,400 feet
south of the Crossroads. This is a portion of the Toole Tract. It is further described by
reference to the deed of record in Deed Book 281, page117. This parcel is designated
as Parcel 20A on Tax Map 86. This transaction reduced the size of the Toole Tract
but had no effect on its status as a parcel of record or on its development rights.
The most recent deed for Darrow Tract and the 2-acre remnant of the J. Sutherland Jr.
Tract recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10, 1980 is
recorded in Deed Book 571, page 126 and is dated April 2, 1975. This deed conveyed
2.027 acres from M.Y. Sutherland, Jr. and Phyllis H. Sutherland to Emmett M. Lilly and
Estelle E. Lilly. The lot is designated as Parcel A on a plat by Thomas D. Blue dated
November 20, 1974. It is further described by reference to the deed of record in Deed
Book 281, page117. This parcel is designated as Parcel15A on Tax Map 86. The plat
does not provide the residue acreages. This transaction reduced the size of the
Darrow Tract and the size of the 2-acre remnant of the J. Sutherland Jr. Tract.
This had no effect on the status these lots as parcels of record or on their
development rights.
Deed Book 1702, page 183, dated April 22, 1998 contains a boundary line adjustment
between the Trustees of the Zion Baptist Church, owners of T.M. 99-20 and M.Y.
Sutherland, Jr., owner of T.M. 86-27. The transaction is shown on a plat by Roger W.
Ray & Assoc., Inc. that is dated April 17, 1998. Apart from the minor adjustment of
acreage, this transaction had no effect on the Toole Tract.
Deed Book 3057, page 299, dated August 16, 2005, conveyed 457.66 acres from the
M.Y. Sutherland Estate to Boaz Mountain LLC. The property is described as being the
same as was conveyed to M. Y. Sutherland by the deed of record in Deed Book 281,
page 17. The property is shown on a plat by Roger W. Ray and Assoc., Inc. dated July
25, 2005. The plat notes that it represents a survey of the exterior boundaries of the
parcel/parcels shown hereon and there is no intent to extinguish or combine any
existing parcel of record. This transaction had no effect on the legal status or
development rights of the parcels.
These parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable
regulations can be met. These development rights may only be utilized within the
bounds of the original parcels with which they are associated. These development rights
are theoretical in nature but do represent the maximum number of lots containing less
than twenty one acres allowed to be created by right. In addition to the development
right lots, the parcel may create as many smaller parcels containing a minimum of
twenty-one acres as it has land to make.

As part of the Convention & Visitors Bureau's Joint Operation Agreement
between the County of Albemarle and the City of Charlottesville our
organization agrees to meet certain performance measures of Return on
Investment.
The results of necessary research for ROI calculation were delivered to us on

Fiscal Year 2004-2005 Annual Report
The Albemarle County Department of Human Resources is pleased to present the Board of Supervisors with the Local
Government Human Resources Annual Report. The report is intended to provide information for use in establishing the
County's overall strategic plan and to assist in setting initiatives for future years. This report contains statistical
information on the Local Government workforce as well as some highlights of the Human Resources Department's
initiatives and accomplishments for fiscal year 2004~2005.
Key Information Provided:
· RecruitmentlSelectionlRetention - full~time equivalent (ITE) count, new hires, terminations, retirements,
turnover, years of service, exit survey data
· Demographic data - age, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) data, geographic information
· Pay information - pay grades, average pay, pay by salary level
· Total Rewards - compensation, benefits, reward/recognition
In FY04-05 the Human Resources Department maintained its focus on projects and initiatives that support the Albemarle
County Strategic Plan. One of the County's strategic directions is "To Provide Effective and Efficient Services to the
Public in a Courteous and Equitable Manner." This year we are pleased to have met our key goals from last year, which
included the following key initiatives and projects designed to attract and retain high performing employees:
· Competency Based Management tools were revised to assist in the recruitment and selection of new employees
and to be the basis of the performance management process;
· A 360 Degree Feedback tool was again employed, providing the members of the County's Leadership Council
with feedback used for professional and personal development;
· "Leadership Foundations" training was provided to managers and supervisors. This includes training in coaching,
communication, continuous improvement, customer service and project management;
· A Procedure Manual for all supervisory staff was created and provided on-line as a resource as well as in
training, offering information in Human Resources processes and the basics of employment law required for good
management;
· An "Employee Recognition Program" was designed and put into practice to use when rewarding and recognizing
excellent performance of employees;
· A Long Term Classification Plan was developed and implemented in July 2004 creating a schedule for
comprehensive review of all departments on an on-going basis;
· A New Merit Plan was developed and approved for use in the FY05-06 year. Aligned with a new performance
evaluation form. the new merit plan allows for greater connection between employee performance and reward.
The Human Resources Department has continued to be instrumental in assisting with the recruitment, selection and
internal promotion of several key positions during FY04-05. The HR Team provided interview training, coordinated
interviews, conducted pre-employment testing, and assisted with filling all vacant positions.
The Albemarle County Department of Human Resources will continue its efforts to focus on: competItIve
salarieslbenefits, alternative reward strategies, recruitment/selection/retention, professional development, aging
workforce/retirements, as well as assessment and improvement of our internal systems and processes. The HR Team is
dedicated to providing excellent human resource support to our customers through the implementation of the County's
strategic plan.

(See Appendix A: "County of Albemarle Department Statistics - Group A "for list of departments included in the following data.)
Staffing
The Human Resources Deparbnent supported the hiring of 136 new Local Government employees during this fiscal year.
This Annual Report predominantly focuses on the "Group A" Departments as defined in Appendix A. For this group, we
hired 80 new regular full and part-time employees. Of these, 36 are female, 44 are male, 18 are minorities and 62 are non-
minorities.
Human Resources supported the organization in the following critical staffing efforts during the year:
· Community Development: Business Development Facilitator
· Social Services: Assistant Director
· Human Resources: Organizational Development Manager
· County Executive's Office: Web Content Manager
Recruitment
New hires learned of job vacancies through the sources identified in the graph below.
Employee Referral, as a source, decreased slightly
(down from 26% to 23%), however it still remains
an excellent source of new employees, confirming
the idea that all County employees are potential recruiters and that presenting a positive image of employment with the
County is a powerful recruitment tool. This reinforces the value of the work we are doing to create a quality place of
employment.

Albemarle County has again been nationally
recognized for the quality of its web site. We
believe that this, coupled with the new easy-to-use
on-line application, contributed again this year to
the jump in percent of new hires who listed the
County Web Site as their job vacancy source (up
from 21 % to 29%.)
Newspapers, as a source, increased slightly from
5% to 6%, however this remains low compared to
the web site. This shift from newspaper to web-
based sources influences how Human Resources
advises hiring managers on where to spend their
recruiting dollars.
EEO Data (see Appendix B)
As of June 30, 2005, there were 247 female and 300 male employees in the government operations. Of those, 86 were
minorities and 461 were non-minority.

* Resident data source: Albemarle Community Profile 2005 (2000 census data)
The Human Resources Department has engaged in the following activities and practices over the past year, in an effort to
recruit a workforce representative of the diversity of the Albemarle County population:
· Identified websites and print publications with high female or minority readership for advertising and recruiting;
· Trained all new employees on the County's Equal Employment Opportunity and Sexual Harassment policies;
. Encouraged minority participation on County interview teams;
· Recruited at minority career fairs and colleges;
. Developed new recruitment materials designed to show women and minorities in public safety and professional
roles;
· Assessed selection and promotion processes and materials and identified improvements necessary to attract and
encourage the hiring, training and promotion of minorities.
Average Years of Service
The County's 547 regular full-time and part-time employees represent an aggregate of over 4,960 years of service. The
average age of County employees is 42 and the average years of service is 9.
-')-
Turnover
We are pleased to report that employee turnover remains at a low single-digit rate of 8.96%. Including retirements, this
number increases to 10.97%. Our low turnover rate and high average years of service are positive indicators of the strong
stability and commitment of our workforce. Turnover information by department is included in the chart in Appendix A.
Consistently low turnover rates contribute to Albemarle County being perceived as a quality place of employment.
In FY2004-2005 ten (10) local government employees retired compared to eight (8) employees in the previous year. The
graph on the left shows the number
of employee retirements since
FY2000-2001. The impact of an
aging workforce is consistently in
the forefront of HR priorities. The
graph below provides information
on the age distribution of
Albemarle County Local
Government employees. From this
data, we can anticipate a steady
increase in the retirement rate over
the next 10 years, as 124
employees are over 50 years old
(23% of the work force). The
average age of retirement this year
was 57 years old. There are
currently 15 employees over the
age of 60.

Of the ten employees who retired this year, 2 were disability retirements and 3 took retirement with reduced benefits,
rather than wait for full retirement (I was part-time and not eligible for VRS benefits). As the graph below indicates,

Human Resources goals focus on partnering to create a high performing organization that will have the means to both
attract and retain highly qualified candidates. Key components of this are HR efforts to:
. Provide equitable and competitive compensation:
o HR recommendations were approved by Joint Boards to identify competitive salaries for positions which
are recruited regionally and nationally in March of 2004. lbis strategy was phased in over a two year
period.
o A Long Term Classification Plan was implemented in July 2004 so that all positions in Local
Government are reviewed for appropriate classification approximately every three years.
. Ensure employees are recognized and rewarded: The recommendations of a cross functional total rewards team
were approved by the BOS in September 2004 to include: Employee Recognition Program (implemented mid FY
04/05), Revised Merit Pay for Performance Matrix.
. Provide greater flexibility and comprehensive communication in benefits: Several voluntary benefits programs
were introduced and an electronic open enrollment process was held in FY 04/05.
. Provide for internal growth and development: The HR Organizational Development Manager provided an array of
new training and development classes and opportunities for the Local Government employees. The Competency
Based Management Program provided tools for selection, training and development, and performance
management.

Exit Surveys
Our Exit Survey data continues to identify the County's strengths and opportunities for improvement. The data below
reflects responses from Local Government employees who left between July I, 2004 and
June 30, 2005. Of the 54 employees who voluntarily terminated employment, we received exit surveys from 18, a
statistically significant percentage (33%). As we continue to collect exit data over a longer period of time, the data will
increase in value.
Some highlights of the results (the numbers represent percent of favorable responses):
· Looking at Column B, we continue to see an overall increase in the percent of favorable responses from FY02-03
through to FY04-05.
· Last year there were two notable exceptions. The percent of favorable response declined for Dimension #6,
"Supervisory Consideration" and Dimension #8, "Organizational Culture." This year they increased considerably.
o "Supervisory Consideration" asks questions related to how employees believe they are rewarded and
recognized for their performance and whether or not they are given good feedback. The 92% favorable
rate is likely in part due to the new competency based evaluation forms, the creation of the Employee
Recognition Program, and the implementation of Leadership Foundations training.
o "Organizational Culture" questions ask whether or not the County has a sense of direction and values
diversity. The increase from 52% to 81% is a great improvement and in part is due to the increased
communication efforts on the part of the Leadership Council and the implementation of the Leadership
Foundations management training course.
· The Board's continued commitment to competitive salaries, above-average benefits, resources for employee
training and development, and financial support for reward and recognition programs undoubtedly contributes to
the high percent favorable response for #3 Pay/Benefits, #4 Training and Development and #6 Supervisory
Consideration.
· All in all, the data collected indicates that employees are leaving with a positive image of their employment with
the County. This suggests that the County is moving towards achieving its strategic objective of being recognized
as a quality place of employment.

Loss Control
The FY 04-05 saw the definition and development of the County's Loss Control Program. Four primary areas of
responsibility have been designated as being under the auspices of Loss Control: Workers' Compensation, Safety,
Well ness, and Unemployment Claims. The County has begun to realize both tangible results and a more clearly
developed vision for each facet of the program.
Workers' Compensation includes maintaining compliance with applicable law and County policy, collecting and
analyzing data such as loss ratio and severity rates, claims management, incident investigations, cooperative involvement
with the County's insurance carrier, and overall process improvement. The underlying objective of each of these is to
reduce the County's expenditures related to Workers Compensation.
As reported by the County's Workers' Compensation insurance carrier, VML (Virginia Municipal League), the County's
FY 04-05 loss ratio stands at 54.78%. This means that the losses incurred and paid by the carrier are equal to 54.78% of
the premium we paid for the plan year. This is the first time since 200 I that Albemarle County has ended the year below
the 65% industry standard and represents a positive step toward sustained cost reduction.
Safety is very closely related to and has a high degree of impact on Workers' Compensation. The County developed
compliance specific training matrices, joined the Blue Ridge Safety Association, and hosted its first Safety Committee
meeting in the fall of 2005.
Wellness has been an exciting addition to the Loss Control agenda. While there are numerous programs, initiatives and
opportunities under consideration for inclusion in the program, there has been immediate success with one in particular.
Statistics show that a person's overall health is directly related to their managing an appropriate weight, and the County's
support of a weight loss program has met with great enthusiasm and success. Over 30 County employees have
participated in the program thus far and have lost a combined weight of over 1000 pounds.
Unemployment claims management - The County has identified the potential for some cost savings by closely managing
each unemployment claim. For the coming year the emphasis will be on developing and implementing tracking systems
and auditing procedures.
Organizational Development
In January 2005, Albemarle County hired a new Organizational Development Manager to help focus on the County's
learning and development goals. The following initiatives have been completed or launched:
· Thirty members of the County's Management Group attended a 16-week, 28-hour supervisory skills training course
entitled "Leadership Foundations." This leadership course will continue to be offered to supervisors in the County
in the coming fiscal year.
· The launch ofa half-day Local Government Supervisors' Toolkit manual and course. This program covers specific
information necessary to successfully supervise employees of Albemarle County. Key policies, procedures, and
the importance of a relationship with Human Resources are discussed.
· The creation of an Albemarle County Learning Team. This eight-person team is comprised of members of the
Leadership Council and Management Group and is led by the Organizational Development Manager. The
Learning Team met over the course of four months, and put together a recommended list oflearning initiatives that
will help establish Albemarle County as a "learning organization." Other responsibilities included: define a
learning organization; identify gaps and barriers to becoming a learning organization; develop specific goals and
objectives; and prioritize goals and objectives and develop a time frame for implementation.
_h_
The three key learning objectives were identified:
o Create an infrastructure that supports continuous and consistent learning
o Develop the talent and build the required skills necessary for the future success of the organization
o Create a partnership to build the required technology skill set throughout the organization
A number of specific strategies were identified to accomplish the objectives. These strategies will be
implemented over the fiscal years 05-06 and 06-07.
· The offering of Beginner and Intermediate Spanish classes to employees that have direct contact with the Spanish-
speaking residents of the County.
· The establishment of a customer service focused training series. This series of five classes taught employees on
using communication skills, ways to manage stress, exceeding customer expectations, dealing with difficult
situations, and the fundamentals of providing high-quality customer service.
· The completion of the "Leadership Learning Lab" for members of the Leadership Council. This five-session
course was led by Prof. Alec Horniman of the University of Virginia Darden Business School.
· The creation and offering of a Project Management class. This 12-hour class was offered through a partnership
with Piedmont Virginia Community College
· The continued offering of quarterly new employee orientation sessions, "Getting to Know Albemarle County", to
share insights into the County's structure, strategic plan, and organizational culture.
· The continued development of an internal web site focused on learning that contains developmental information
and tools for all employees. Now all courses and classes offered by the County can be registered for online at this
site. The online registration process allows for "self-serve" registration, and provides a quick and easy way for
employees to sign up for relevant learning opportunities.
· The book, video and audio library can now be accessed online. This online solution allows easier access to the
County's learning media. Over a period of six months, this move to an online library has increased the number of
items checked out by employees by more than 115%.
· The launch of a new personal and professional development series-branded "Wise Up Workshops." These
workshops offered over the lunch hour are open to all local government employees and cover a wide range of
topics.
Supporting the County Goals through Partnership and Participation
Human Resources personnel were proud to participate in the following initiatives, teams and events:
· Customer Service Academy Team
· County Strategic Plan Development Team
· County Day for Citizens at the County Office Building
· Access Albemarle (formerly BPKSE)

Compensation and Benefits
In 2000/2001, the Joint Boards adopted the following Total Compensation strategy:
. Overall Goal: The overall goal of the County's Compensation and Benefits strategy is to provide competitive
compensation opportunities that reinforce high performance from all employees and the achievement of
organizational goals.
. Base Salary: Base salary range midpoints are targeted at 100% of the competitive market median levels.
. Benefits: Benefits will be targeted slightly above the County's competitive market (i.e., @105th percentile).
. Competitive Market: The primary competitive market for all County positions is defined as:
o Counties and School systems of similar size within the State of Virginia;
o Counties and School systems located in the same geographic region of the State of Virginia; and,
o Local private employers within the Charlottesville area for positions that are not unique to
government and/or education industry.
. Internal Equity: Our focus on establishing an equitable compensation program is reflected in our dedication to
considering internal equity and market compensation levels in establishing base salary ranges.
The Joint Boards also adopted a process by which to establish the annual merit pool increase and salary scale adjustment.
Based on the Board adopted process and compensation strategy to achieve 100% of market for salaries and scales in
FY04-05, the following was recommended and approved:
. 3% increase in the Classified Salary Scale (This mainly impacts new employees going forward.)
. 4.4 % merit pool for classified staff
In March of 2004, the Joint Boards adopted a different compensation strategy for those positions recruited for nationally
and regionally and implemented the first step of a two year phase-in for reclassification increases. The strategy for those
identified positions is the following:
. Identify competitive market salaries for specific localities within our adopted market that compete with Albemarle
for those positions. This subset of our adopted market addresses cost of living issues and target competitive
market position. These localities represent areas that are in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's), both above
and below Albemarle in cost of living and currently include: Hanover County, Loudoun County, City of
Charlottesville, Prince William County, Spotsylvania County, Chesterfield County, City of Chesapeake, City of
James City County, and City of Roanoke.
. July 2005, the second phase of increases for those positions occurred. Data will be collected on benchmark
positions to evaluate the success of this increase in reaching the targeted median of the adopted market.
Long Term Classification Plan
In 1996, all Local Government and School Division positions were reviewed and classified using the job evaluation plan
that was implemented at that time, based on the adopted recommendations by the compensation consultant Hendricks &
Associates, Inc. The job evaluation system is a point factor system consisting of seven factors and is used to assess the
internal value of positions. Since this comprehensive review, classification has occurred when:
. Market data indicated that review was necessary;
. Supervisor requested review;
. Internal equity issues were identified.
This approach to classification has resulted in many positions becoming out of alignment with regard to internal equity.
To address this, a schedule for comprehensive review of all departments and schools on an ongoing basis was started July
2004. Priorities are set based on identified internal equity issues, substantial changes in position descriptions and existing
market data. All positions in the following departments were reviewed over the past fiscal year: Community
Development, Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, General Services, Building Services and Transportation.

Benefits Administration:
The Human Resources team strives to offer a cost-effective benefits package, and effectively communicate that package
to Albemarle County applicants, employees and their dependents, and retirees. The County continues to offer a range of
employee benefits to meet the individual needs of our workforce, through supporting healthy lifestyles, peace of mind,
and financial security.
Benefits offered include: medical, dental, deferred compensation, flexible spending accounts (Beneplus), optional life
insurance, direct deposit, family medical leave, employee discounts, and paid leave (annual, sick, Sick Leave Bank, etc.).
New for 04/05 were the inclusions of voluntary Critical Illness, Whole Life Insurance, and Short Term Disability policies
through UnumProvident. Pension and life insurance plans for full-time employees are offered through the Virginia
Retirement System (VRS) and for part-time employees through other pension and life insurance plans.
The Board-adopted strategy is to target our benefits slightly above market and to offer benefit programs that meet our
employees' needs. Still, many employees seem to be aware of or do not adequately understand the benefit choices
available to them. To increase employee understanding and appreciation of their benefit package and total compensation,
we recognized the need for a well-planned communications program and simple enrollment process. To achieve this goal,
HR developed an online Open Enrollment website along with multi-channel communications surrounding it beginning
May 2005. Year round, benefits are communicated to our various populations through a variety of methods, including:
· Weekly Benefits Orientation sessions
· Benefits information on the County web site/intranet
· Financial Education and Pre-retirement seminars
· Monthly on-site availability of our deferred compensation vendor
· Benefits Handbook mailed for Open Enrollment
· HR satellite office at COB 5th
Total Rewards Program
At the June 26, 2003 meeting, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to begin the review of the County's reward and
performance systems to ensure that they are aligned with our high performance strategies for customer service, continuous
quality improvement and the delivery of efficient and effective County services. The County's human resources systems
must reward, motivate, and sustain customer service focused behaviors. In response to the Board's direction, a team was
formed to develop a "total rewards" strategy. The team reviewed the County's current merit compensation and
performance management systems, solicited employees' perceptions about the current system and evaluated changes that
would support our pay and performance philosophy. At the September 2004 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved
the recommendations of the Total Rewards team and has implemented the Employee Recognition Program and a Revised
Merit Pay for Performance matrix. Staff is continuing the evaluation of skill and competency differentials and
broadbanding.
Emolovee Reco2nition Pro2ram (Implementation occurred mid FYOS)
The Employee Recognition Program is one component of the Total Rewards strategy that addresses the need to
acknowledge extraordinary employee contributions. Program objectives are as follows:
· Provide the employees of Albemarle County Local Government a set of performance criteria so that they may
identify exemplary, deserving behaviors in an employee;
· Give the employees of Albemarle County Local Government options to formally recognize and reward employees
for exceptional performance.
· Provide individual departments with the flexibility and guidelines to exercise this program that best fits that
department's functions and culture.
_0_
Funding for this program is provided at the departmental level, based on the number of FTE's in the department. Last
spring, Human Resources worked with Departments to define those standards at the departmental level so that consistent,
clear expectations of performance are established. Information on return on investment will be provided at the end of this
fiscal year.
Merit Pav for Performance (Implementation FY 06)
Eligible employees receive an annual merit increase, effective July 1. The amount of the increase has been based on a
formula that includes the following factors: an employee's performance evaluation rating, an employee's salary in relation
to the midpoint of their pay grade, the merit pool percentage increase, and the available funding within their departmental
pool. Available funding was calculated by multiplying the proposed market adjustment by the salary mid-points. Based
on employee and manager feedback, the following issues were identified with regard to this merit plan:
· The formula is complicated and difficult to understand due to the number of factors in the formula and the pool
concept;
· Employees are not able to establish the link between their performance and the reward due to the variable pool;
· Available funding can impact the merit pool for a department which then impacts the merit amount received by
employees;
· The small pool amount does not adequately differentiate performance;
· The merit system is not consistent with the Board strategy to pay employees who "meet performance or exceed
expectations" at the market rate.
Based on these inherent problems in the current merit system, the Total Rewards team proposed a Merit matrix designed
to continue to reward employees with an annual salary increase based on the market data and WorldatWork projections.
In addition, a fixed merit amount will be added to the salary increase, based on the relation of the employee's salary to
midpoint and the level of performance. This merit matrix was adopted by the BOS for a July 2005 effective date and is
consistent with the Joint Board adopted strategy to pay employees at market rate and ensure that high performing
employees whose salaries may be at or above the midpoint will not receive less than the market increase. This option is
also simple to communicate and administer. Additionally, the number of performance rating categories has been
expanded in FY 05-06 from four to five in order to allow managers more flexibility in differentiating performance.
Although some of the details of the matrix may be revised, the following example illustrates the matrix merit concept:
Successfully Meets and
Position in Pay Fails to Meet Needs Occasionally
Grade Range Expectations Development Meets Exceeds Exceptional
Expectations Expectations
Below No Increase Market - 1 % Market + 1 % Market + 1 .5% Market + 2%

Service Recognition
The County's Employee Recognition Program for length of service continues to be improved to better meet the needs of
the individual employees and provide more meaningful forums for providing recognition for years of service. Employee
recognition is conducted within the employee's department. In addition, all recipients are recognized at the annual
recognition ceremony. Recognition items are as follows:
· for 10, 15, and 20 years of service, employees receive an attractive gift
· for 25+ years, employees choose from a selection of gifts that best suit their needs
· employees with the longest length of service, who reach a milestone this year, are recognized with a special
presentation and gift at the Employee Recognition Ceremony
On October 14,2005, 109 employees were recognized for their service milestones that occurred between October 1,2004
and September 30,2005.

The Albemarle County Local Government's success in delivering against the County's Strategic Plan and meeting its
stated goals will depend on its ability to attract and maintain a high quality and high performing workforce in an
extremely competitive environment.
The recruitment, selection, development and retention of a quality workforce is a function of the interaction of a number
of factors, including, but not limited to: CompensationlBenefits, Performance Management, Organizational Development,
and Quality of the Work Environment.
Human Resources Customer Satisfaction Survey
To assess the value and effect of the HR Department's effort and programs, the Department collected data from its first
annual customer satisfaction survey in FY04-05. There was a great response rate of 49% (243 out of approximately 500
employees.) Some highlights of the results:
· 95% Favorable response - on the professionalism and courtesy of the HR staff
· 91 % Favorable response - on how the HR staff handles sensitive employee relations issues
· 90% Favorable response - on HR knowledge ofHR matters
· 85% Favorable response - on how HR responds to feedback
· 84% Favorable response - on how HR provides expert advice on employee issues
· 81 % Favorable response - on how HR uses feedback to make changes in the department
· 77% Favorable response - on the timely response to employee needs
· 72% Favorable response - on knowing whom to contact in HR for assistance
As a result of the survey, HR instituted customer service response-time standards and added additional phone options
for reaching assistance. They also created and distributed to all employees a reference card indicating whom to call for
different types of assistance. HR looks forward to the results of the next Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Next Steps
The Human Resources Department has identified areas of commitment for the next fiscal year to ensure that the County is
provided with a workforce of employees that continuously provides high quality customer-focused service to its citizens
in support of the County's Strategic Plan. Our focus will be on developing and retaining employees with excellent
supervisory and management skills by:
· Developing a succession management program to provide the foundation for current employees to be identified,
trained and developed for possible future leadership roles;
· Implementing safe workplace programs and procedures for ensuring a safe and healthy work environment;
· Beginning the development of skill and competency pay differentials;
· Creating an online and print professional development course catalog with a minimum of one course for every
competency;
· Researching how the value of the professional development and training initiatives can be measured;
· Implementing the new Merit Matrix and Performance Evaluation forms;
· Utilizing the 360 Feedback tool for the Management Group.
The Human Resources Department is looking forward in this next fiscal year to proactively providing the services and
solutions that meet the needs of the Albemarle County employees and citizens.

REVIEWED BY:
lEGAL REVIEW: No
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission held a work session on November 15,2005 and recommended no changes to the draft Six Year
Secondary Priority List found in Planning Commission's staff report (Appendix I, Attachment A).
TRATEGIC PLAN:
Make the County a Safe and Healthy Community in which citizens feel secure to live, work and play.
DISCUSSION:
The primary purpose of this worksession is to provide:
. Initial overview of the Six Year Road Plan process;
. General review of the existing projects on the County's priority list of road improvements and potential projects to be
considered for inclusion in this year's revision of the list; and
. Opportunity for the Board of Supervisors to discuss the County's existing priority list or other potential projects/issues.
In a separate matter not part of the consideration of the Six Year Secondary Plan 2006/07-2011/12, staff also discussed
with the Planning Commission the Town of Scottsville's request to assist the Town in securing revenue sharing funds for a
primary project located at the intersection of Route 20 and Route 6. The project would improve drainage at the intersection.
The Town of Scottsville has requested that Albemarle County assist the Town by submitting the necessary forms to obtain
matching funds from VDOT in the amount of $100,000. The Town of Scottsville will cover the local requirement of
$100,000. Revenue sharing funds can be utilized on primary projects. The request for the Town of Scottsville must be
processed through the County because Scottsville is not a qualifying locality.
In the near future (December 2005 or January 2006), the County will get an invitation to participate in the revenue
sharing program for FY 2006/07. If the County decides to assist Scottsville, the allocation available to Albemarle
County for revenue sharing will be reduced by $100,000.
The Planning Commission indicated that more information would be needed to make a recommendation. The Town of
Scottsville has provided additional information since the Planning Commission meeting, which can be found on
Appendix III.
COMMENDATIONS:
is work session is to receive comment from the Board on the draft Priority List. A public hearing is scheduled for
ecember 14, 2005. Regarding the Scottsville request for assistance in obtaining Revenue Sharing funds, unless the
Board has specific direction as to this matter at this time, staff recommends that the information the Town has provided be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and their recommendation be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.

WORK SESSION: SIX YEAR SECONDARY ROAD PLAN FOR 2005-2011
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this work session is to provide:
n Initial overview of the Six Year Road Plan process;
n General review of the existing projects on the County's priority list of road
improvements and potential projects to be considered for inclusion in this year's
revision of the list; and
n Opportunity for the Planning Commission to discuss the County other potential
projectslissues not on the Priority List.
Six Year Plan Process
The Six Year Secondary Road Construction Plan is VDOT's Plan for the allocation of road
construction funds for a six year period. It consists of a priority list of projects and a financial
implementation plan. The Plan is based on local priorities adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
The County typically reviews this priority list of projects every year. Attachment A is the draft
current adopted County Priority list for Secondary Road Improvement.
Since 1986, the Commission and Board of Supervisors have approved a priority list of road
improvement projects that would cost, in total, in excess of available funds over the six-year
planning period. With such a list developed, subsequent VDOT Six Year Plans can be prepared
and revised in response to available annual funds. The County has used a locally derived criteria-
based rating system to prioritize road improvement projects in the County. This system, with some
modifications and refinements, has been used since 1988. The Board of Supervisors made
several minor changes to this criteria base rating system during their consideration of the Six Year
Secondary Road Plan list year. These changes are summarized in Attachment B. The revised
rating system criteria with subsetting data can be found on Attachment C.
The Board of Supervisors also discussed the appropriateness of undertaking and reviewing
detailed rankings for the extensive number of projects listed on the Priority list, particularly when
construction for most of these projects is many years off. Because of the many changes that can
take place over time with projects that are ranked lower on the priority list, it may not be an efficient
use of Board time to deliberate on the whole list each year. It was felt that both the staff's and
Board's time would be better served focusing on a smaller, more strategic set of projects to be
pursued. These are the projects which will be most important to move forward to construction
within the next 10-20 years. This group of priorities is referred to as the "Strategic Priorities" and is
considered the adopted Priority List of Improvements. The remainder of the list is attached as an
addendum listing future possible projects. SpecifiC technical data on the projects listed as the
Strategic Priorities is provided a Technical Addendum to the Priority list. This technical data
provides more detail on the condition of the road segment that serve as the basis for the project's
priority. The information in this Technical Addendum will be updated annually for the Strategic
Priorities. The Board of Supervisors made these changes primarily for two purposes; 1) to provide
the Board with more information on how the projects scored in relation to the ranking process, and
Appendix I
2) simplifying the review process for staff and the Board by focusing more on a smaller set of high .
priority projects within the overall priority list.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Staff has identified the top twenty-one projects that should be the focus
of the Planning Commission's and Board's annual review. The only changes staff is recommending
for the Strategic Priorities is to Northern Free State Road. This project was moved from Priority #5
to Priority #9. Northern Free State Road will be studied as part of the PLACES29 Study. By
moving this project to #9, VDOT will be able to allocated funds to projects above it on the Strategic
Priority List. Northern Free State Road remains a high priority for the County and will be
reevaluated after the PLACES29 Study. There were two changes to the regular unpaved road
Priority List. Rio Mills Road (Route 643) between Rt. 29 and Rt. 743 was moved ahead of
Dickerson Road (Route 606). VDOT believes Rio Mills Road, which is a shorter project in length
and than Dickerson Road, could be done sooner than the entire section of Dickerson Road.
Dickerson Road will likely be divided into three separate projects and two bridge projects.
NEW PROJECTS/PUBLIC REQUESTS
Staff did receive several requests from the public to be considered for inclusion on the Priority List.
These projects include:
Public Paving Requests-
Rt. 637 between Rt. 691 and Rt. 758
Rt. 761 between Rt. 622 and County line
Rt. 703 between Rt. 715 and dead end
Rt. 731 between Rt. 744 and Rt. 22
Rt. 662 between Rt. 660 and Rt. 665
There also a request to add bikelanes on Rt. 606 when it is paved.
All of these projects have been added (bold and italicized) to the draft Priority List. Staff has placed
all five of these projects on the regular paving list until VDOT has determined its eligibility for the
rural rustic road program.
.
VDOT's 2006/07-2011/12 Secondary System Construction Plan (Attachment D) is now divided into
three parts: regular construction projects, regular paving projects and rural rustic road projects.
VDOT's Secondary System Construction Plan coincides with the County's Priority List.
Staff has been working with the VDOT at the request of the Board of Supervisors to determine if
an infusion of funds would prevent the further delay of the construction of Jarmans Gap Road.
This project has met several delays over the years. These delays, which range from staff and/or
funding shortages to redesigning the road, have participated in the project cost. VDOT is
planning to hold a public hearing in Spring 2006 and will be able to inform VDOT if the infusion of
additional funds from the County will expedite the construction on Jarmans Gap Road.
ADVANCEMENT OF PROJECTS
Staff will take the Commission's comments on the proposed Priority List and make the necessary
adjustments to both the County's Priority List and the VDOT Secondary Plan. An additional work
session(s) will be scheduled to complete the Commission's review, if necessary. Ultimately, the
Commission's recommendation on the Priority List and Plan will be forwarded to the Board of
Supervisors. Typically, the Commission has not held a public hearing on the Priority List and Six
Year Plan. The Board will hold a work session and public hearing on the Commission's
recommended Priority List and Six Year Construction Plan prior to adoption.

Project: Scottsville Drainage Improvement Plan
Location: Rt. 6 and Rt. 20 (Main Street and Valley Street)
Overview: The Town of Scottsville was founded in 1744 and was the original county seat of
Albernarle. The location was directly attributable to the river trade and canal system. Over the
years Scottsville has been subject to devastating floods, which had taken a toll on the downtown
business district. In 1989, the A. Raymon Thacker Levee was completed, and the town was able
to begin a rebirth. No longer threatened by flooding, the businesses and residences rebounded.
Today, Scottsville enjoys a vibrant downtown and has become an important tourist destination.
Issues: Although protected from the James River, poor drainage continues to be a problem
within the downtown area. The old storm drain system is partially blocked in some areas and no
longer has the proper grade in other areas. As a result, serious ponding occurs in many places
with moderate rainfall amounts. This presents an unsafe situation for vehicular traffic along the
major routes of 20 and 6. In addition, pedestrian crossings are also inundated with water. Proper
drainage becomes even more vital when the levee gates must be closed and pumps must be
activated to remove the trapped water from within the levee system, which includes the
downtown area.
Solution: The Town of Scottsville is in the process of finalizing plans for a drainage
improvement project, which is the primary part of our streets cape project. Although materials
will be furnished by VDOT, the Town will be responsible for the construction and design. As a
result, the Town has actively sought finding from various sources to help with the cost. The
revenue sharing program is one of these sources, which would allow matching funds from
VDOT to the amount the locality has provided. Unfortunately, under the current program, the
Town may not directly apply to VDOT; instead, the application must be submitted by the county
in which the project is located. Therefore, the Town respectfully requests Albemarle County
assist the Town by submitting the necessary forms to obtain matching funds from VDOT in the
amount of $1 00,000. The Town of Scottsville has raised most of its funds and will obtain the
remainder through pledges already received.
We feel this project will increase public safety for the thousands of motorists who use these
byways each day. Your consideration of making the request on our behalf is greatly appreciated.

i:! BRIGHT STARS PROGRAM
IOnl ANNIVERSARY
SEPTEMBER 2005
December 2005
To the Members of the Board of Supervisors:
We are proud to announce that this year marks the 10th anniversary of Bright Stars. Our program
began in a single classroom at Stone-Robinson Elementary School in September 1995 serving 16
children and families. Since then, it has grown to include six classrooms, strategically placed in
areas of the County that demonstrate high educational and social services need, with a current
enrollment of 96 children.
Bright Stars' service mission is to increase the opportunities to learn for our children and their
families by promoting family involvement and addressing risk factors that affect school
performance. Weare pleased to be able to share our successes that reflect this mission:
* Teachers report that Bright Stars children enter kindergarten with positive attitudes
towards school and an understanding of appropriate school behavior.
* Referrals for early interventions are getting children and families the help they need
earlier. During the 2004-2005 school year:
. 17 Bright Stars children received Speech/Language services
. 2 children were identified for Special Education
. 12 kindergarten alumni received Title I, 5 Speech/Language and 1 Gifted.
* Bright Stars parents are actively involved in parent-teacher conferences, interested in
discussing their children's progress and how to help their children at home. 100% of the
Bright Stars parents attended parent-teacher conferences during 2004-2005. Parents are also
attending planned events (field trips, family nights, all-school events, breakfasts) with their
children.
* Bright Stars has begun to playa major socializing role for area immigrant students and
families, as the number of Limited English Proficient students continues to increase. Bright
Stars Hispanic families have a Spanish-language interpreter/consultant and Spanish speaking
staff at their service. African immigrant families are referred to language and other services
in the community to facilitate their integration into the community.
* Bright Stars students receive timely medical and dental services as a result of a $5000
Community Health Partnership Grant from Martha Jefferson Hospital awarded to Bright
Stars for the 10th consecutive year and $2000 from a local church for extensive dental care.
* Several Bright Star sites have incorporated JumpStart and My Teaching Partner
programs. JumpStart is the largest Serve-Study program in the country. It uses Federal

work-study funds to engage college students in community service. JumpStart partners with
preschool programs that serve low-income children, providing UV A students with one-on-
one language and literacy mentors and volunteer classroom assistants. My Teaching Partner
is a project based at the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education delivering and
evaluating web-based support for teachers in pre-kindergarten programs to improve
children's literacy and language development and positive social relationships.
Bright Stars has been able to provide high quality, comprehensive learning experiences that set
children on a successful academic path, while teaching parents to see themselves as the first and
best teachers of their children. Bright Stars' evolving partnerships with local government,
schools and community agencies have empowered families to utilize services that prepare
children to enter school ready to learn and help to strengthen families now and in years to come.
As Robert Coles, child psychiatrist, wrote, "The people who come to see us bring us their stories.
They hope they tell them well enough so that we understand the truth of their lives. They hope
we know how to interpret their stories correctly. We have to remember that what we hear is their
story." We believe the Bright Stars Program captures the stories of the families and children we
serve.
We hope you will recognize how Bright Stars fits well into the continuum of early intervention
and prevention services envisioned by the Department of Social Services and local government
more than 10 years ago. We hope you will also agree that Bright Stars plays a significant role in
the achievernent of the Strategic Plans of the Department, the Schools and local government.
Sincerely,
~~
Charity Hines, Program Coordinator

Rationale for Pre-School Education
Why do we invest in early childhood education? A recent report from The World Bank Group
states that, "a child's ability to think, fonn relationships and live up to his or her full potential is
directly related to the synergistic effect of good health, good nutrition and appropriate
stimulation and interaction with others." This group cites several early childhood development
research projects that prove that "children who participate in well-conceived programs tend to be
more successful in later school, are more competent socially and emotionally and show higher
verbal and intellectual development during early childhood than children who are not enrolled in
high quality programs." The World Bank Group concludes that "ensuring healthy child
development is an investment in the in the country's future, encourages greater social equity,
increases the efficacy of other investments, addresses the needs of mothers while helping their
children, thereby modifying some of the most entrenched causes of poverty."
Governor Mark Warner, speaking at his Early Childhood Summit in spring 2005 said, "statistics
from the University of Virginia show that 20% of the Commonwealth's children enter
kindergarten without the basic skills needed to learn. Early childhood development is a vital part
of every child's education, and we must make sure that students have the foundation of learning
necessary to succeed..."
Bright Stars is one of Albemarle County's answers to narrowing and finally eliminating the
achievement gap among all classes and races of children, making it a realistic goal for every
child to be successful in school and every family to have hope for a brighter future for
themselves and their children.
"I recently read tltat Virginia is making preschool education its top
educational priority. It's nice to know tit at Albemarle County was in
the/ore/ront o/recognizing the need/or good, quality preschool
education. "

Notes:
1. Percentages are based on numbers of students who can be tracked if they remain in their original
schools or move to another county school and who take both the fall and spring assessment.
2. Bright Stars classes differ each year in the number of risk points for each child. Risk points have
been increasing over the years from a 2001-2002 average of 7.8 to a 2004-2005 average of 10.4.
3. Numbers of non-English speaking families has increased.
4. Children in the program with late summer birthdays are closer to 3 years old than 4 when they
begin the program.

Progress from fall to spring of the Bright Stars year is notable on the PreK
PALS: in fall 2004, 18 out of 88 children (20%) met or exceeded the benchmark
range; in spring 2005, 70 out of 88 children (80%) met or exceeded the
benchmark range.

Risk Points
High risk points are associated with limited education andlor illiteracy of parent(s),
unemployment, domestic violence, incarceration of a parent, previous child protective services
intervention andlor foster care involvement, siblings having difficulty in school, mental health
issues, poverty and living in a single parent family. One risk factor in a child's environment may
not necessarily have a negative impact. However, the more risk factors present, the more likely
the child will suffer negative consequences. Risk factors are interactive and reinforce each other.
So the presence of some risk factors may cause other risk factors to appear.
The graph below illustrates the 5 year trend of higher risk factors for families enrolled in each
Bright Stars Program site.

Attendance
Daily, on-time attendance is stressed with parents from the beginning of the application process.
Children who don't attend regularly or come into class late miss opportunities to develop good
attendance habits, to explore and master a variety of learning experiences and to develop positive
social and behavioral skills.

=nt "I think the positive impact of the Bright Stars program can
be measured in part by considering how our students would
fare in Kindergarten (and beyond) if they had not been in
Bright Stars. During year 2004-05 there were 8 children who
entered Agnor-Hurt Bright Stars speaking little or no English.
In addition, 6 children started the program and were soon
found eligible to receive Speech and Language services. By
June '05 all of these students had made remarkable progress
in their English speech and language skills. "

Family Component
. Parents are the most important teachers their children will ever have. Consequently,
meaningful parent involvement is a key factor in children's academic success. In order to
facilitate parental involvement, each Bright Stars classroom has a family coordinator who
assists in bridging the gap between home and school. This position provides for family-
centered assessments, home-school services and referrals to other community resources.
Some of the opportunities for parents to be involved during the Bright Stars year are open
house at the beginning of school, home visits by the teacher
and family coordinator, parent-teacher conferences, family
events throughout the year including parent education,
breakfasts and dinners, field trips and recreational activities.
Educational Component
. HighlScope Curriculum supplemented by Virginia
Foundations Blocks for Learning in Reading and Math
. Albemarle County's Best Practices for Preschool and other

ill V. Our Bright Star Schools
The Bright Stars Program at Agnor-Hurt began in 1997. This program has
always been characterized as a culturally diverse classroom reflective of the
diversity of the entire school and the neighborhood in which the school resides.
This program has benefited from being located inside the building in the
kindergartenlfirst grade wing where the four year-olds and their teachers can
easily interact with other students and teachers and where the four year-olds
can learn about school expectations.
The Bright Stars Program at Cale began in 1998. During the first year the
classroom was located within the school but has since been moved to a
learning cottage. Cale expansion plans call for new Bright Stars classroom
space in the main building. The program at Cale has been successful in
integrating a growing number of Hispanic families. This has presented a
opportunity and a challenge to staff to reach out to limited English speaking
children and parents. For the past 3 years, Cale has received more applications
than there are spaces available in the class. In 2004-2005, Cale received more
than 30 applications for 16 openings.
The Bright Stars Program at Greer began in 1996. Until recently, the
program was housed in a learning cottage but in 2005-2005, school
administrators found classroom space in the kindergarten wing. Greer Bright
Stars reflects the highly diverse character of the rest of the school community.
Many cultures and languages are represented by the families served including
Hispanic, Indian, African and Asian. This cultural mix presents many
opportunities and challenges for staff. This is also a highly mobile population,
resulting in considerable variability in alumni.
The Bright Stars Program in Scottsville began in 2000. This program
draws from rural areas around the community of Scottsville and enjoys
connectivity with small town services such as the post office, fire department
and library. Scottsville Bright Stars has strong parental involvement. Family
Nights are well attended by parents and extended family. The classroom is
located in a learning cottage beside the main school building and close to the
kindergarten and Grade I classes.
STONE-ROBINSON
Stone-Robinson is where Bright Stars first began in 1995 under the
leadership of a team of local government and school employees. They
established a strong connection with the Curry School at UVa, ensuring that
program implementation was grounded in the best early childhood
developmental/educational research and practices. Stone-Robinson set the
standard for programs that incorporated exceptional, certified instructional
staff, concentrated outreach to families, and connectivity and visibility in the
community. The oldest alumni are in 9th grade.

I
The Wood brook Bright Stars Program began in 2004 and is the newest
Bright Stars program in the County. The class is housed in the main school
building in the kindergarten/first grade wing allowing for ease of access among
the early grade levels. The instructional staff has a combined 36+ years of
teaching experience. This program reflects the diversity of the urban area in
which it is located, as many of the families live in apartment complexes off Rio
Road East and Rt. 29. It is anticipated that this program will receive more
applications than can be accepted into the program in the coming years.

BACKGROUND:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and the Charlottesville City Council agreed to join together to form the
Commission on Children and Families (the "Commission") in 1997 "whose sole responsibility shall be to plan, coordinate,
monitor and evaluate a community wide system of children and family agencies". CCF was further charged to "improve
services to children, youth and families, to be accountable for the efficient use of public/private resources and to be responsive
to the changing needs of the community" in addition to carrying out the mandated responsibilities for managing a range of
human service funding for the localities.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
3.1 Make the County a safe and healthy community in which citizens feel secure to live, work and play
DISCUSSION:
This annual report shows how the CCF has served the communities as originally charged, and has evolved to become a vital
resource as an information source, advisor, coordinator, and catalyst for improved conditions for children and their families. The
report highlights the achievements in fiscal year 2005 and identifies future directions. The annual report presentation provides
an opportunity for Board members to ask questions, suggest directions, and approve the policy and direction set by the
Commission.
The Commission's work is carried out by 22 board members, seven staff and over 190 work group members composed of
citizens, human service and educational agency representatives, and government leaders. During 2005, CCF's membership,
staff and independent work groups accomplished a great deal through public and private partnerships. In one year, CCF
completed five major studies and calls to action - one on the needs of low-income teens for after-school involvement, another
on containing Comprehensive Services Act Costs, a third encouraging quality youth service learning, a fourth on the feasibility
of developing a local Child Advocacy Center, and a fifth identifying focus areas of need for investment for the localities. The
resulting recommendations of all these reports are now informing and shaping the human service delivery and educational
systems and improving the quality and level of local services.
Pilot efforts were initiated in four work groups, including the launch of a Seal of Quality Child Care by the Partnership for
Children, development and funding of a Child Advocacy Center by the Impact of Family Violence work group, the launch of an
automated information-sharing mechanism by the Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, and the compilation of the first Human
Services Investment Portfolio by the Outcome Measurement work group.
During 2005, local Charlottesville and Albemarle County agencies used data and technical assistance provided by CCF to
leverage an estimated $717 ,000 of grant funds during 2005 (13% increase from 2004), and grants totaling $439,230 are still
pending. In addition, the CCF experienced increases in the numbers of individuals using its website (19% jump), the number of

Page 2 of 2
calls and requests for technical assistance (40% jump), the media coverage of issues raised by CCF related to children and
family conditions (32% increase) , and the number of participants attending CCF public education events (32% increase).
During this time, members also invested in a continuous improvement project focused on the Commission itself by publishing
the Case for Change at the end of the fiscal year.
As for the future, 2006 looks to be an exciting year. In 2006, CCF will continue as a strong information source and coordinator-
publishing its signature documents such as Stepping Stones and the Guide to Youth Services, and coordinating service
providers for effective service delivery. CCF will strengthen its advisor role by delivering prioritized recommendations to the
localities through an annual meeting process and new tools for recommending strategic investments. Finally, as a catalyst,
CCF members will work in partnership with the community to spark and support policies and programs that deliver measurable
improvement in local residents' quality of life.

Dear Colleagues:
Eight years ago, in 1997, the Charlottesville.Albemarle Commission on Children and Families (CCF) was established by 0 joint agreement between the
City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle "to plan, coordinate, monitor and evaluate a community wide system of children and family agen-
cies." CCF was furlher charged 10 "improve services 10 children, youlh and families, 10 be accounlable for the efficienl use of public/private resources
and 10 be responsive to Ihe changing needs of Ihe community", in addilion 10 carrying oullhe mandaled responsibilities for managing a range of
human service funding for the localilies.
This annual reporl shows how the CCF has served Ihe communities as originally charged, and has evolved to become a vital resource as an information
source, advisor, coordinalor, and catalyst for improved conditions for children and their families. The report highlights the achievements in fiscal year
2005 in all of these roles in seclions I.IV. A fifth section highlights organizational challenges faced this year and identifies solutions as CCF members
and staff seek to fulfill the original goals of the localities given increased demands for services. A final section describes the focus of our initiatives for
2006.
The Commission's work is carried out by 22 board members, seven stoff and over 190 work group members composed of cilizens, human service and
educational agency representatives, and government leaders. These individuals ore Hiticalto the impact of the Commission. We owe a tremendous
amount of gratitude to 011 of our stakeholders for their engagement and leadership in improving conditions for children and families. The names of
these individuals and funders are included in the final page of this report.
During 2005, CCF's membership, staff and independent work groups accomplished a great deal through public and private partnerships. In one year,
CCF completed five major studies and calls to action - one on the needs of low-income teens for after-school involvement, another on containing Com-
prehensive Services Act Costs, a third encouraging quality youth service learning, a fourth on the feasibility of developing a local Child Advocacy Center,
and a fifth identifying focus areas of need for investment for the localities. The resulting recommendations of all these reports, advanced by CCF
leadership, ore now informing and shaping the human service delivery and educational systems and improving the quality and level of local services.
Pilot efforts were initiated in four work groups, including the launch of 0 Seal of Quality Child Care by the Partnership for Children, development and
funding of 0 Child Advocacy Center by the Impact of Family Violence work group, the launch of an automated information-sharing mechanism by the
Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, and the compilation of the first Human Services Investment Portfolio by the Outcome Measurement work group.
During 2005, local Charlottesville and Albemarle County agencies used data and technical assistance provided by ((f to leverage on estimated
5717,000 of grant funds during 2005 (13% increase from 2004), and grants totaling $439)30 ore still pending.
In addition, the CCF experienced increases in the numbers of individuals using its web site (19% jump), the number of calls and requests for technical
assistance (40% jumpt Ihe media coverage of issues raised by ((f related to children and family conditions (32% increase) , and the number of par-
ticipants attending CCF public education events (32% increase). During this time, members also invested in 0 continuous improvement project focused
on the Commission itself by publishing the Case for Change at the end of the fiscal year.
It has been an exciting year, and I am pleased to share with you some of the important progress CCF work groups, members and staff hove made
working together to improve outcomes and systems of support for children and their families.
Sincerely,
~L~~.~

· CCF published the fifth edition of Stepping
Stones: An Annual Report on the Well-Being
of Children and their Families to measure the
community's health, raise awareness of commu-
nity needs, and be a catalyst for improvements.
Initiated in 1999 by CCF Citizen member, Dr.
Michael Dickens, Stepping Stones was one of
the first measures CCF members used to take
the pulse of the community's health. Now, six
years later, Stepping Stones includes positive
and negative trends on a grow-
Ing percentage of the 67
indicators chosen to
~
measure child and

of Supervisors, Charlottesville City
Council, other governmental entities, public
and non-profit human services agencies and
the community with
timely, well-informed,
accurate and pertinent
information on children
and their families. CCF
also manages the City-
County agency budget
review process for approximately $2.6 million
in funding to area community agencies.
Distribution of this document was extensive and
included presentations to the Donor's Round- I
table and area community agencies. During
the 2005-6 community agency review process,
CCF requested that
area agencies cite how
programs fell into the
focus areas as part of
their City-County fund-
ing applications.

CCF Helped Set Priorities
In fall of 2004, CCF pub-
lished and disseminated
Key Findings on Local
Child and Family Needs,
2004 which identified focus
areas recommended to the
localities based on an as-
sessment of child and family
needs. This document was
published in several formats
including an easy to access
Executive Summary accompa-
nied by extensive background
documentation on sources and
current non-profit investments.
As the fiscal year came to an end, CCF staff sub-
mitted a grant to compile an inventory of all pub-
lic and non-profit human service assets funded
by the localities. Documents such as a "Children
and Families Budget" have been used by other
localities to inform strategic thinking about cur-
rent, needed, and fu-
ture investments. Given
CCF's role in reviewing
all human service
non-profit investments,
CCF's proposal
was to create
a portfolio of
human service
investments. This
portfolio would
be inclusive
of child, fam-
ily and adult
services and

CCF Improved Accountability & EHectiveness
CCF's Agency Budget Review Team recom-
mended the allocation of $2.6 million in funding
to area non-profits through a rigorous outcome
measurement review and assessment process.
CCF also provided training and technical assis-
tance to applicants in preparation for the review
process. In February 2005, CCF published the
Agency Budget Review Team Recommendations
which included summaries of all applicants,
outcomes achieved and funds recommended.
This document informed the Charlottesville City
Council and Board of Supervisors in their bud-
get deliberation and their final decisions.

CCF Advocated for Change
CCF members and work groups identified
critical legislative issues facing children and
their families and created a 2005 legislative
Agenda. This agenda is included in the City of
Charlottesville's legislative packet and compo-
nents of the agenda are included in the Thom-
as Jefferson Planning District Commission's
legislative packet and reAect priority issues to
track during the upcoming season. In FY2005,
the CCF legislative priorities were the Compre-
hensive Services Act, juvenile justice services,
and early childhood development and school
readiness.

their families by identifying issues needing
attention, coordinating stakeholders to address
these issues and developing specific recommen-
dations for implementation. CCF staff members
are a source of technical assistance and capac-
ity building to local agencies and individuals
seeking to improve their services, coordinate with
area providers, and respond to local needs. In
this role, CCF provides data, alerts its networks
of area citizens and providers to funding re-

to go where they
are most needed.
· During 2005, CCF staff played a lead role
in helping Albemarle County Public Schools
secure a 21" Century Grant of $155,385 for
after-school programming at Yancey Elementa-

operation best practices, including evaluation
for the Club Yancey after-school initiative at
Yancey Elementary School;
· Serving on the Implementation Team for the

develop recommendations in the context of
Charlottesville and Albemarle's local needs,
resources and capacity. These ad- hoc and
ongoing groups are essential to the full function-
ing of the Commission, the establishment and
implementation of its goals and priorities, and
the inclusion of a diverse constituency. Two CCF
work groups- the Impact of Family Violence and
Assets for Youth work groups- were particularly
active as catalysts in changing practices and
creating new resources during 2005.
CCF's Impact of Family Violence work group
is an active group of 57 stakeholders (see
Coordination section) who sparked the start of
a Children's Advocacy Center in 2005 - a child-
friendly appropriate setting for child abuse/
neglect investigations and service provision.
In 2004, this subcommittee conducted a needs
assessment and feasibility study of the possibility
of creating a local Children's Advocacy Center.
During fiscal year 2005, the Commission accept-
ed the work group's recommendation to move
forward with implementation. An implementa-
tion task force was charged and CCF commis-
sioned and received a pro-bono Business Plan
from Opportunity Consultants at the University
of Virginia's Darden School. The Business Plan
recommended creating a pilot CAe. In August
2005, CCF received a $75,000 grant from the
Virginia Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices to implement this exciting pilot effort.

Administering the Comprehensive
Services Act Committee (CsA)
CCF is responsible for all aspects of administra-
tion of the Virginia Comprehensive Services
Act in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
The two localities served 636 children and
for children whose needs cannot be met within
the public school setting or the community. In
addition, the City and County set aside a por-
tion of their Comprehensive Services Act dollars
to provide services for "non-mandated" court
involved youth, including counseling, substance
abuse, and mental health treatment.
In January 2004 the CSA Cost Containment
Subcommittee issued its findings in the "CSA
Cost Containment Report." This report repre-
sented the culmination of ten months of research
and planning by a diverse team of agency and
school representatives active in the CSA pro-
cess. The Report made clear recommendations
for system improvement and cost containment;
many of which were initiated immediately.

These changes included:
· In July 2004 a single Family Assessment and
Planning Team (FAPT) was created to replace
four separate teams previously in use. The FAPT
meets each Friday to review cases and recom-
mend service and spending plans;
· In August 2004, a part-time FAPT Coordina-
tor was hired to assist with the administrative
burdens involved in convening, tracking and co-
ordinating the staff of these seven public agen-
cies on a weekly basis and providing required
documentation.
· In January 2005, the CSA Committee revised
its program administrative structure to establish
a Fiscal Subcommittee to review recommenda-
tions from the Family Assessment and Planning
Team and monitor costs. A CSA Program Sub-
committee was also initiated to serve
as the lead committee to monitor the
implementation of CSA services.

· Additionally, in May 2005, the FAPT revised
its staffing/meetings forms and protocols to
adapt to the growth in case numbers, costs and
administrative responsibilities. The Individual
Family Services Plans used for all CSA cases
are now submitted through a secure internet site
to facilitate team member planning, access and
program data collection. local CSA staff and
agency partners received training in use of the
site, which was implemented on July 1, 2005.
Improving the Juvenile Justice System of

ing for earlier review of cases and easier access
to files and information by team members.
Preventing Family Violence
CCF's Impact of Family Violence work group
addresses the impact of child abuse, neglect
and adult domestic violence upon children. This
work group was initiated as a response to local
and national studies demonstrating the strong
negative impact of family violence among
children in highest-risk situations- those in the
juvenile justice and foster care systems, as well
as children requiring intensive out-of-community
residential placements.
· Family Violence Prevention: This sub-commit-
tee sponsored a number of events and made
presentations to highlight family violence
prevention. A well-received forum on "Talking
about Tough Topics" was presented to 140
professionals. The subcommittee sponsored a
series of events during the April Child Abuse
Prevention Month.
· Multidisciplinary Team: This subcommittee
is a multi-disciplinary team that develops,
achieves and maintains interagency and inter-

professional cooperation in case management
and handling of serious child abuse/neglect
and victimization cases; and provides contin-

ized children. The team has been meeting since
April of 2004 and serves children who are
primary victims of child maltreatment (including
non-caretaker violence), especially those who
experience serious physical and sexual abuse.
This team was initiated as a pilot effort. Evalu-
ations have been positive, resulting in the
team's recommendation that this be included
in the forthcoming Child Advocacy Center
(see "catalyst" section.)

building capacity to expand KidsWatch- a small
pilot project to identify, assess, and provide ser-
vices for children exposed to domestic violence
in one Charlottesville neighborhood in collabo-
ration with local law enforcement and public
schools. This subcommittee is working towards
expanding KidsWatch beyond the pilot phase
to a community-wide program, pending ad-
ditional public and private resources.

v. INCREASING
IMPACT & CAPACITY
M h has been accomplished since
U C the inception of CCF, and, in
particular, during 2005. Over the last seven
years, CCF members and staff have built an or-
ganization known for its reliable and credible
information on child and family conditions, its
emphasis on data and results, its development
of new programs and policies in response to
local needs and its coordinating capabilities.
During this period of productivity, however
there have been organizational and fiscal
constraints - particularly State budget cuts and
growing administrative responsibilities - that
have challenged CCF members and staff to
reach their designated goal of "improving a
community wide system of services for children
and families" in the face of increasing and
compelling community needs.
Beginning in 2005, CCF members embarked
on a planning and research project to de-
termine how the Commission could address
these organizational challenges and become
more effective in improving outcomes for local
children and families. The CCF Executive Com-
mittee and a "Redesign work group" published
their results in a document entitled, Case for
Change - presented to CCF in June 2005. The
report's findings come from a historic review of
CCF documents since its inception, interviews,
surveys and discussions with stakeholders, a

review of similar or-
ganizations identified
as among the best
in the country, and
deliberations by CCF
members. The final
report recommends
three major goals
accompanied by
specific steps for 2006-2008. These are:
Goal 1 : INCREASE IMPACT: Place children and their
families at the forefront of the localities' plan-
ning and investment agendas.
Goal 2: BUilD CAPACITY: Increase the resources
available to the Charlottesville/
Albemarle community to understand and meet
the current and emerging needs of children
and their families.
Goal 3: IMPROVE EFFICIENCY: Restructure the compo-
sition of the CCF to focus members' attention
on the research, planning, coordination, and
community problem solving necessary to pre-
vent risk factors and address children and fam-
ily needs.
,Commission members will be working in part-
nership with local government and community
members to advance these three goals begin-
ning in fiscal year 2006.

can be a model
community where
the localities
plan and provide
for the health and well-being of children and
their families as they do for their education,
transportation, housing and quality of life. To
have proactive policies in place requires a
community mobilized to work together to bring
about improvements. Public organizations
like the Charlottesville-Albemarle Commission
on Children and Families are one part of the
equation. CCF needs increased capacity to
attract public-private partnerships and stron-
ger linkages to local leaders to bring about
significant long-term change. An investment
in CCF will bring dividends to the localities
by providing them with strategies and new
resources to reduce risk factors for children
and their families. By accomplishing the three
goals identified above, members believe that
CCF will be a vital resource to the localities as
they seek to improve conditions for children
and their families.

dations and programs developed during 2005,
as well as strengthening the impact and capac-
ity of the organization. Highlights of these ef-
forts include:
New information for more strategic
investment
In 2006, CCF will publish the first Human Ser-
vices Investment Portfolio - an inventory of all of
the public and non-profit assets supported by the
localities. This will be a comprehensive portrait
of the community's human service investments
that can be used to understand the extent of
non-profit and public investments, match com-
munity investments with community needs, and
align future investment dollars where they are
most needed, most apt to leverage additional
funds, and proven to make the most difference in
residents' lives. like Stepping Stones, CCF mem-
bers envision that this will become an annual
document to be used as an integral part of the
localities planning and budgeting processes.
A young adult agenda
With the pending publication of a new re-
search brief, Assets for Youth Implementation
work group members are raising awareness

about the need to invest in youth employment
and career exploration. In addition, a promo-
tional campaign - put together through the in-
kind resources of all Assets for Youth members
- will highlight the importance of out-of-school
involvement and link parents, youth and profes-
sionals to area programs. Work group mem-
bers will continue to advocate for addressing
students' recommendations identified in CCF's
Youth Voices, such as having school gyms and
computer labs open at night, and eliminating
student fees for sporting events.
A network of support for victims of violence
The Family Violence Prevention Subcommittee
has developed a speakers' bureau and is con-
ducting outreach to community groups to ar-
range presentations to raise awareness about
the impact of violence on young children. The
Children's Advocacy Center Task Force will
hire a Coordinator and has submitted federal
grant proposals for two additional employees.
The Child Advocacy Center Task Force is in the
process of creating a non-profit organization
and developing a Board of Directors with the
intention of an independent center in 2007.
New standards for quality child care
The Partnership for Children will continue its
pilot operation of the Seal of Good Child
Care with local providers to designate those

providers who meet quality standards of care.
It is anticipated that several providers will be
granted the Seal in the next year. In addition,
the Partnership is streamlining its data focus
and expanding its data collection to include
all partner agencies in order to have better
information about service delivery and impact
on families.
Continued coordination for efficiency and
effectiveness
CSA partners will continue to work towards
a more effective and efficient system of data
collection on child specific trends, outcomes
and expenditures in order to inform and
improve usage of resources and shape early
intervention and prevention efforts. These
efforts include consolidation of program oper-
ating manuals, exploration of a local secured
diagnostic, assessment and stabilization center,
documentation of a local Systems of Care
model to expand opportunities for grant acqui-
sition and review of current program thresholds
for services.
New resources for children and their
families
CCF members will be championing and build-
ing support for prioritized recommendations
to improve conditions for children and their

families through an interactive annual meeting
process that brings together recipients of ser-
vices as well as stakeholders and decision mak-
ers. Members will be developing the capacity
to bring in additional private funds to support
applied research, planning and community I
problem solving in CCF priority areas. In col-
laboration with the localities, members will also
look to streamline mandated responsibilities
and explore ways to best use staff and mem-
ber time for Financial oversight, administration
and management responsibilities.

Stones and the Guide to Youth Services, and
coordinating service providers for effective ser-
vice delivery. CCF will strengthen its advisor
role by delivering prioritized recommendations
to the localities through an annual meeting
process and new tools for recommending
strategic investments. Finally, as a catalyst,
CCF members will work in partnership with the
community to spark and support policies and
programs that deliver measurable improvement
in local residents' quality of life.

CCF Human Services Investment Portfolio Proiect--Overview
In local government, local leaders annually make decisions about which human service programs
to invest in on a program by program, department by department basis. Because the local
government human service funding streams are complex and go to a host of public, non-profit
organizations and private providers, there is no one place where this investment portfolio,
representing the entirety of its human service investments, can be found. For example, available
budget documents do not indicate how much local funds are going to prevent substance abuse,
decrease the achievement gap, keep children in safe homes, -or place families in subsidized
housing on a given year. Existing budget documents do not generally include a regional analysis
of the amount of additional federal, state and private dollars that local human service departments
and agencies leverage by securing local government contributions as a match.
Given local competition for scarce dollars and the compelling human service needs evident in low-
income neighborhoods throughout the community, donors need a compelling and accurate portrait
of the community's human service investments. This "map" is a necessary tool to understand the
extent of non-profit and public investments, match community investments with community needs,
and align future investment dollars where they are most needed, most apt to leverage additional
funds, and proven to make the most difference in residents' lives.
To develop this portfolio for Charlottesville-Albemarle, Jenny Dietzel, the Project Coordinator, has
begun work with University of Virginia (UV A) graduate and undergraduate students, staff from the
Charlottesville Albemarle Commission on Children and Families (CCF), a UVA faculty advisor, and
an Advisory Committee to research best practices, develop a template, collect and input financial
data and analyze the results in light of documented community needs.
The Charlottesville-Albemarle Human Services Investment Portfolio will present a comprehensive
portrait of the public financial funds that support the health and safety of all residents, and be
published and disseminated by CCF. This document will include:
· A presentation of funds organized by focus areas, sources of funding, and, to the extent
possible, target population by age;
· An analysis of these financial documents in terms of amount invested, leveraged, and
supported by local and other sources;
· An analysis of the extent to which local investments map onto identified human service
needs.
· A template recording all financial data that can be updated easily and annually.
It is hoped that this information will provide elected and appointed local government leaders
comprehensive information on human services to help inform budget priorities for fiscal year 2008;
and, will provide local private donors information to make allocation and investment decisions. It is
also hoped that the public will gain a better understanding of current investments in human
services, and how their personal contribution can help address critical needs.

COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AGENDA TITLE: AGENDA DATE:
Personal Property Tax Relief December 7, 2005
SUBJECT IPROPOSAL/REQUEST: ACTION: INFORMATION: X
Update on the Commonwealth's modifications to
PPTR with impact on the County of Albemarle CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION: INFORMATION:
STAFF CONTACT(S):
Messrs. Tucker, Davis, Herrick, Wiggans, Walters; ATTACHMENTS: Yes
Ms. White
REVIEWED BY:
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
In 2004 and 2005, the General Assembly, as part of a budget compromise, substantially altered the Personal Property Tax
Relief Act of 1998 (PPTRA). Under the original PPTRA, individual taxpayers paid a percentage of their local personal
property taxes, and the state reimbursed localities the remaining balance. In 2005, taxpayers' relief funded by the state
was seventy (70%) percent of the tax. However, because of the growing cost of the PPTRA, the 2004 General Assembly
elected to freeze the state's future PPTRA obligations at $950 million per year. Localities will now only receive annually
from the state a fixed amount of state dollars for personal property tax relief. State law requires the Board to elect how to
allocate this relief among personal property tax taxpayers. The implementation must be approved by ordinance or
resolution.
The actions of the legislature will take effect January 1, 2006. The purpose of this executive summary is to advise the
Board of its options, and to propose an ordinance to comply with the new requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
4.2 Fund County services in a fair, efficient manner and provide needed public facilities and infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
As noted above, beginning July 1,2006, PPTRA reimbursements to localities will be capped at $950 million. This change
will mark a shift from a vehicle-based entitlement program to a fixed, annual block grant program. Future payments to
localities will be based on their percentage share of 2004 tax year personal property tax collections to total 2004 state
personal property tax collections. The amount of funds to be remitted to Albemarle County, estimated at $15 million, will
be known March 1, 2006. With that amount fixed for the foreseeable future, the percentage relief individual taxpayers will
actually receive each year will decline as that fixed amount is spread over an ever-increasing personal property tax base.
There are primarily two options available to the Board to provide personal property tax relief. Virginia Code ~ 58.1-3524(C),
adopted by the 2004 General Assembly, enables localities each year to set two personal property tax rates: one for the
value of each qualifying vehicle that is in excess of $20,000, and a second lower value for each qualifying vehicle that is not
in excess of $20,000. The lower rate is required to off-set the amount of dollars funded by the state for personal property
tax relief.
The 2005 Appropriations Act provides a simpler, more precise alternative. Item 503.E. of that Act permits a locality to
provide by ordinance or resolution, or as part of its annual budget, specific criteria for the allocation of the Commonwealth's
payments among the owners of qualifying vehicles. The Act requires that the locality's tax bills provide a general
description of the criteria upon which relief has been allocated and set out the specific dollar amount of relief so allocated.
AGENDA TITLE: Personal Property Tax Relief
AGENDA DATE: December 7, 2005
Page 2 of 2
If the Board elects this "specific relief' alternative, Finance staff would annually calculate the percentage of relief available
to each taxpayer spread equally among qualifying tax payers, and it would be reflected on the personal property tax bills
without any additional action by the Board.
The draft ordinance proposed by staff implements this "specific relief' alternative, and also adopts two other discretionary
provisions:
1. It continues to provide 100% car tax relief for qualified vehicles assessed at $1 ,000 or less.
2. It authorizes supplemental tax bills to be issued by the County for tax year 2005 and for prior years for
100% of the personal property tax which remains due and owing as of September 1, 2006 or such earlier
date as reimbursement is no longer available from the Commonwealth. The state will not reimburse the
County for what had been the state's share for delinquent bills after that date. Delinquent taxpayers would
be billed for the unpaid state share for delinquent bills after State reimbursements are no longer funded.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The County will not experience a fiscal impact as a result of the change in state law. The County will continue to
receive full personal property tax revenues; only the source of those revenues will change. Under the PPTRA, the
state has paid a share (currently 70%) of personal tax revenue that would otherwise come from individual taxpayers.
With the state now limiting its personal property tax relief commitment to a fixed amount, individual taxpayers will
shoulder a steadily increasing share of their personal property tax bills.
The loss of state revenue is estimated below:
(Expressed in millions)
FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10
Estimated PPTR $ $14.4 $15.5 $16.2 $16.9 $17.7 $18.5
Frozen PPTR $ N/A $15.5 $15.0 $15.0 $15.0 $15.0
Loss of state funding N/A $0.0 lli lli $2.7 $3.5
The $950.0 million state cap was derived to approximate the 2006 PPTR payments for current, not delinquent, tax bills
at a 70% rate. The 70% rate has been used since 2001. The estimated $15.0 million payment to the County of
Albemarle for 2006 current year tax bills approximates the estimated PPTR reimbursement at the 70% rate. The $15.5
million shown above for FY06 includes delinquent taxes, which will no longer be reimbursed by the state in FY06 and
thereafter. Future payments are frozen at the estimated $15.0 million and will result in loss of future state revenues.
The loss of state revenue would be offset by additional local taxpayer funds. The state's payment for the tax year
2005 and prior year outstanding bills is eliminated for FY07 and thereafter. The loss is included above.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board authorize that the attached proposed ordinance be set for public hearing on January 4,
2006. It includes the following options:
1. It adopts the 2005 "specific relief" structure,
2. It continues to provide 100% relief for qualified vehicles assessed at $1,000 or less, and
3. It authorizes the supplemental billing of outstanding PPTR reimbursements which remain due and owing as of
September 1, 2006 or such earlier date as reimbursement is no longer available from the Commonwealth.

BACKGROUND:
After reviewing a proposed policy at the November 2nd Board meeting and considering a revised policy at the November 9th
Board meeting, staff was directed to meet with the community on possible issues related to this policy. Staff met with the
community on November 16th and 1 yth to discuss possible issues.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Effective and Efficient County Service to the public in a courteous and equitable manner.
DISCUSSION:
The meetings were primarily with members of the development community. The following bullets summarize the
comments:
· In principle, the policy is fine but many felt it should be considered as part of the overall improvements to the
legislative review process rather than in advance of consideration of other changes.
· Most felt they could accept this change if County staff could commit to a two week turnaround of plans and
proffers between the Planning Commission meeting and Board meeting. Mr. Graham indicated staff could make
this commitment if the changes were limited to the specific issues identified at the Planning Commission meeting
and those changes did not result in substantive changes to other parts of the plans and proffers. Mr. Graham
offered this would be the goal, but not a commitment when extensive plan and proffer changes were made
requiring total review of all of the submittals. Mr. Graham committed to constructive comments that offer at least
one solution staff would consider acceptable.
· Applicants would like the policy to require final proffers, but not necessarily signed proffers at the time of
advertisement, but indicated they would be willing to commit to provide signed proffers a minimum of nine days
before the public hearing. That timing would allow staff sufficient time to review the proffers to assure that they
conform to the final proffers previously reviewed by staff and to place the signed proffers in the Board agenda
packets.
· Applicants would like a commitment from the County to complete a total review of the legislative process. Mr.
Graham indicated staff has been working on this internally and plans to schedule public discussions on
alternatives at the beginning of next year.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Budget impacts were discussed in the November 2nd Executive Summary, which is attached to this report.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached revised policy for the submission of materials for zoning
applications.

LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The Board requested staff to prepare a policy for its consideration for submission deadlines before public hearings for materials
relating to zoning applications. While there have been discussions regarding appropriate submission deadlines, it does not
appear the Board has an adopted policy for submission deadlines.
Several recent public hearings have occurred where plans and proffers were submitted shortly before the meeting. This has
resulted in staff not having adequate time to review legally binding documents and the public not having the opportunity to
review materials in advance of the public hearing. The resulting public hearings have seen a high level of confusion and
frustration. Without adequate time from submission to public hearing, staff was unable to concisely report on the applications
and the public may have been frustrated as they were not certain what was included in the considered plans and proffers.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Effective and Efficient County services to the public in a courteous and equitable manner
DISCUSSION:
In considering a possible policy, staff believes the Board should consider the following issues:
1. Opportunity for the public to review materials prior to the public hearing. Public hearings for rezonings and special
use permits are required by law and must be advertised for a minimum of two weeks prior to the public hearing.
While plans, codes of development, and proffers are available for public inspection during the advertisement
period, it can be confusing and misleading to the public if the materials presented at the public hearing are not the
same as those available for public review.
2. Opportunity for staff to review materials in advance of the public hearing. While changes may appear limited in
scope, the complexity of plans, codes of development, and proffers requires a careful consideration. Without that
review, there is an increased risk of unanticipated consequences in legally binding documents.
3. Opportunity to make reports available to the Board in advance of the meeting. When required materials for zoning
applications are not timely received, staff cannot provide a comprehensive report for the Board that identifies and
analyzes the key issues in advance of the meeting (i.e., approximately 21 days before the public hearing).
Staff believes these issues could be addressed if all the materials are submitted to the County at least two days prior to the
deadline for placing an advertisement for a public hearing in the newspaper. Staff believes this is the shortest time interval that
could allow the issues to be addressed.
BUDGET IMPACT:
No direct budget impact has been found. The recommended policy would provide some reduction in workload by reducing
the need to shift priorities on short notice.

SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS
FOR ZONING APPLICATIONS
It is the Board's preference that a public hearing should not be advertised until all of
the final materials for a zoning application have been received by the County and are
available for public review. To achieve this preference, applicants should provide final
plans, final codes of development, final signed proffers, and any other documents deemed
necessary by the Director of Community Development, to the County no later than two
days prior to the County's deadline for submitting the public hearing advertisement to the
newspaper. Staff will advise applicants of this date by including it in annual schedules for
applications and by providing each applicant a minimum of two weeks advance notice of
the deadline.
If the applicant does not submit the required materials by this date, the public
hearing shall not be advertised unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Director of Community Development that good cause exists for the public hearing to be
advertised. If not advertised, a new public hearing date will be scheduled. If the public
hearing is held without final materials being available for review throughout the
advertisement period due to a late submittal of documents, or because substantial
revisions or amendments are made to the submitted materials after the public hearing has
been advertised, it will be the policy of the Board to either defer action and schedule a
second public hearing that provides this opportunity to the public or to deny the application,
unless the Board finds that the deferral would not be in the public interest or not forward
the purposes of this policy.

Establishment of a Transportation Engineer position

STAFF CONTACT(S):
Tucker, Foley, Davis, Graham, Cilimberg
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
Over the past several months, staff has worked with the Board to develop and clarify a strategy for more effectively
addressing the County's transportation needs. This has resulted in a written 'County Transportation Strategy' (attachment
D) to help to clarify and direct the County's efforts. In addition, the Board recently amended its Strategic Plan and identified
the need to accelerate two local and two regional transportation projects. Both the Transportation Strategy and the
Strategic Plan call for the County to begin to more actively engage in moving "critical" transportation projects forward,
rather than waiting on VDOT in every case. While the County is currently engaged in efforts to address important regional
projects, the focus of recent Board discussion has been on addressing the critical local roads identified in the Secondary
Six Year Plan (SSYP) and in approved master plans.
As a result of the most recent work sessions, staff was directed to develop a list of critical local projects and a plan for how
local transportation funds might be utilized to accelerate those projects. In response, staff identified two projects currently
in the SSYP: Jarman's Gap Road and Georgetown Road, and two projects from currently approved master plans: Eastern
Avenue and Main Street in Crozet. Proffit Road was also identified as a future SSYP project. Each of these projects was
identified as those with the best opportunity to be accelerated through County involvement. However, staff also identified
the need for a transportation engineer and recommended the position as an essential component to move these projects
forward and to successfully implement the County's transportation strategy and Strategic Plan. After discussion, the Board
requested more information on existing staff responsibilities and responsibilities for the new position.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
3.4 Develop and Implement policies, including financial, that address the County's growing transportation needs.
DISCUSSION:
Staff believes the proposed transportation strategy reflects a new reality for the County. The reluctance of the State to
commit to adequately fund secondary roads, combined with the County's effort to assure attractive and desirable
Development Areas, effectively requires a new effort regarding transportation. Staff anticipates the current demands will
not lessen and, if the State does not significantly increase transportation funding, the County's transportation role may need
to increase over time. However, just to address the current transportation strategy and strategic plan goals, staff believes
a qualified transportation engineer with VDOT experience is necessary. The proposed transportation strategy is seen as
an ongoing effort that must closely coordinate with VDOT on issues related to funding, design, right of way, and
construction management.
Over the last decade, the County's role in the construction of roads has been limited to two transportation projects,
Berkmar Drive and Mill Creek Drive. In both cases, the County's role has more closely resembled that of a developer than
a surrogate for VDOT. Both were isolated and fairly simple projects, with a fairly limited need to coordinate with VDOT.
The new role required to carry out the County's new transportation strategy will require considerably more effort on a
continuous basis to be effective. Using the Crozet Eastern Avenue/Bridge project as an example, the attached timeline
(attachment B) shows how the County cannot simply design and build a bridge, but must first work with private property
owners and VDOT in establishing an alignment for Eastern Avenue so the bridge will be located in the proper place. This
will require a continuous effort rather than the shorter-term effort that a consultant would normally provide. The same will
be true for other projects if the County hopes to see their completion accelerated. For example, work with VDOT on a
Proffit Road design will likely require exploring how the County could accelerate the preliminary engineering and design
efforts, all while soliciting public input. Even if VDOT manages the design and construction of the project, a transportation
engineer devoted to proactively working to keep the project on schedule would be a benefit. Additionally, work on the
Places 29 and Pantops master plans, as well as the regional transportation plan, are anticipated to generate a number of
other possible road projects which will need preliminary engineering to find cost effective designs.
Regarding staff's current ability to fill the role of a transportation engineer to undertake this new program, staff has attached
a table (attachment C) describing both existing positions and the proposed transportation engineer position in terms of
responsibilities. Alternatives to funding this new position would require difficult choices between existing programs and this
new program. For example, Community Development could hire consultants to perform engineering reviews, which would
allow existing resources to be used on transportation projects. However, the review costs with this change would be much
greater than the cost of this new position. In addition, even if the County could shift this new program to current
engineering staff, they are not experienced with many of the VDOT constraints the transportation engineer will likely
experience. While they are qualified with respect to managing the design of roads and bridges to VDOT standards, VDOT
has extensive project management requirements that must be followed with any project receiving State funding. It is
anticipated it would take a minimum of a year for current County engineers to become proficient with VDOT project
management requirements.
Based on the Board's desire to move forward with "critical" local road projects and in light of the new transportation
strategies, staff recommends funding the transportation engineer position to assure this work can be accomplished in a
timely manner. As the enclosed draft project schedule (attachment B) for Eastern Avenue/Bridge project indicates,
establishment of this "critical connector" will require a continuous effort over the next four to five years to meet the time line
identified in the master plan and to prepare for the development approved through the master plan. In addition, follow up
and continuous attention will be needed in working with VDOT to determine ways to accelerate Jarman's Gap Road and
other priority SSYP projects. Staff sees the addition of a transportation engineer as an essential first step in proceeding
with the County's transportation strategy and to begin addressing the currently identified priorities and any new priorities
that will emerge from the master planning process. If the Board does not believe it is the right time to start this program,
staff would recommend delaying implementation of the transportation strategies and considering the transportation
engineer position again in the second half of 2006.
BUDGET IMPACT:
To be effective, this position will require an experienced transportation engineer. At a grade 19, this position would require
approximately $80,000 in the first year, to include start up costs, and $77,000 in subsequent years. Between County
funding, developer funding, and State funding, this position would oversee approximately $5 Million in annual transportation
expenditures. Thus, the position represents about 1.5% of the investment in County transportation improvements. It is
anticipated the cost of the position would be more than offset by project savings through better design and expedited
schedules for projects. For example, the position's annual cost would be recovered if the engineer helped avoid a two
month delay in the Jarmans Gap Road project.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approval of the establishment of a transportation engineer position at grade 19 and approval of an appropriation of $80,000
from current transportation funding to fund the position in FY05/06. If approved, an appropriation request for FY06 will be
presented for approval on a future consent agenda and the position would be funded in the General Services Department
in subsequent fiscal years.

LEGAL REVIEW: N/A
BACKGROUND:
On September 7, 2005, staff held a Transportation Strategy Worksession with the Board to receive direction on how
additional funding in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) should be focused to address local transportation projects.
Staff brought this issue forward due to the Board's recent commitment to funding transportation in the CIP, the reality of
current unmet local needs in the adopted Six Year Secondary Road Plan and the increasing prospect of needed critical
links to provide interconnectivity and optimally implement the County's Master Plans. Additional background information
from this worksession is available in Attachment A, Executive Summary for the Transportation Strategy Worksession,
September 7,2005.
Since the time of the September worksession, the Board again prioritized their desire to address transportation issues in
the County, adding goals and objectives to the to-be-adopted FY2007-FY2011 Strategic Plan. The exact language of these
goals and priorities is presently being refined and is planned to be before the Board in December of 2005.
As a result of the September 7,2005 worksession, the Board confirmed their willingness to utilize transportation funding in
the CIP for funding local projects. As a next step in proceeding with the use of these funds, the Board directed staff to
engage in discussions with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on ways to accelerate Six-Year Secondary
Road Plan priority projects and to identifya separate list of local priorities not approved for funding by VDOT, but that are
important to implementing master plans.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
3.4 Develop and Implement policies, including financial, that address the County's growing transportation needs.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of Wednesday's work session is to 1) inform the Board of preliminary discussions with VDOT on ways to
accelerate Six-Year Secondary Road Plan priority projects; 2) review the list of other local projects not approved forfunding
by VDOT, but important to implementing master plans; and 3) discuss ways to move forward in addressing these priority
local road projects.

REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
As a result of a work session held in the fall of 2004 on "Urbanization", the Board of Supervisors' directed staff to
pursue an "Urbanizing County" level of service for the County's transportation and streetscape needs. At the time, the
"Urbanizing County" level of service for transportation was defined as the County providing "essential link"
transportation projects, supplementing the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) sidewalk maintenance
program and continuing to rely on VDOT and property owners associations for road/street maintenance. Also in the
fall of 2004, the Board added a transportation related goal to the Strategic Plan that stated, "Develop and Implement
policies, including financial, that address the County's growing transportation needs." Finally, in April of 2005, the
Board adopted the FY06 budget that included an additional $1.5 million for transportation funding in the CIP. This
included an additional $1.0 million for the CIP's Transportation Improvement Program and an additional $500,000 in
revenue sharing funds in the CIP to participate in VDOTs revenue sharing program.
Over the past year, considerable work has also been done through the MPO's Transportation Funding Options Working
Group to develop solutions for important, regional projects. In addition, staff has spent time considering the Board's
direction over the past year in developing new strategies on how to move forward in addressing "local" transportation
needs. In the past, the County's transportation strategy has focused on maximizing the leveraging of state revenue
sharing funds, utilizing local funds for studies and design, and relying, to some degree, on proffers as a component of
funding for transportation improvements. The County has also sought regional solutions for important regional projects
and provided funding for public transportation.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
3.4 Develop and Implement policies, including financial, that address the County's growing transportation needs.
DISCUSSION:
While staff recognizes that each of these current strategies will remain important components of the County approach in
addressing transportation needs, the purpose of Wednesday's work session is to receive direction from the Board on how
additional funding in the CIP and recent Board direction should be focused to address "local" transportation projects. For
the purpose of this work session, local transportation needs will be defined as those projects not being considered by the
MPO's Transportation Funding Options Working Group. Although staff realizes that the decisions of the MPO will
influence the Board's direction on "local" transportation policy, this issue in being brought forward at this time due to the
Board's recent commitment to funding transportation in the CIP, the reality of current unmet "local" needs in the adopted
Six Year Secondary Road Plan and the increasing prospect of needed critical links to provide interconnectivity and
optimally implement the County's Master Plans.

LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
At its October 5, 2005 meeting, the Board received information about recent developments in vehicle licensing and decals in
other Virginia localities. A copy of the October 5, 2005 Executive Summary is attached (Attachment B). Specifically, as the
prior report indicates, a growing number of localities are either replacing annual vehicle decals with permanent decals, or are
eliminating vehicle decals altogether as a convenience to their citizens. Following its review of this information, the Board
directed staff to prepare a proposal to replace annual vehicle decals with permanent decals.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
4.2: Fund County services in a fair, efficient manner and improve needed public facilities and infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
In response to the Board's direction, staff has prepared a proposed ordinance to revise and update the County vehicle license
ordinance (Attachment A).
First, under the proposed ordinance, a permanent vehicle decal would replace the annual vehicle decals currently issued. All
vehicles with a valid license as of December 31 , 2005 will receive replacement permanent decals (Sec. 9-403(A)). Purchasers
of new vehicles and new residents of the County would be required, as now, to obtain a County license decal within thirty (30)
days of the purchase or of their move into the County (Sec. 9-403(C)). Instead of expiring annually, the permanent vehicle
decal would remain valid as long as (1) the vehicle was normally garaged, stored, or parked in the County and owned by the
licensee, and (2) all license taxes assessed against the vehicle owner had been paid (Sec. 9-409).
Second, the proposed ordinance would also replace the current annual vehicle license fee with an annual vehicle license tax of
the same amount (Sec. 9-400). This is a change in terminology, not in amount (Sec. 9-404), that more accurately describes
the charge authorized by state law.
Third, the proposed ordinance would clarify the pro-ration of both new and discontinued licenses. Licenses for both new
vehicles and new residents would be pro-rated from the beginning of the month in which the license tax first became due (Sec.
9-405). Refunds for discontinued licenses likewise would be pro-rated on a monthly basis (Sec. 9-406).
AGENDA TITLE: Vehicle Decal Ordinance
AGENDA DATE: December 7,2005
Page 2 of 2
Fourth, a number of other technical changes are proposed to bring the County's ordinance into greater conformity with state
law. For example, the proposed ordinance replaces the former situs standard of "regularly housed or stored in the county" with
the "normally garaged, stored or parked in the county" standard found in state law.
Most practices would remain unchanged under the new ordinance. As previously noted, the amount of the license tax would
not increase (Sec. 9-404). This ordinance is being proposed primarily as a convenience to the citizens, to spare everyone the
need to replace vehicle decals every year.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Beginning in January 2007, annual decals will no longer need to be mailed to vehicle owners. Expenditure savings to the
County in the purchase of vehicle decals, envelopes, and postage is anticipated at approximately $47,000 annually.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The proposed ordinance benefits both the citizens and the County. Citizens will no longer have to replace their vehicle decals
each year and the County realizes a cost savings by no longer having to mail thousands of decals each year. After a public
hearing, if the Board wishes to replace annual vehicle decals with a permanent decal, staff recommends the adoption of the
attached ordinance.

program from 1.0 acres to 5.0 acres. A copy of the November 2, 2005 Executive Summary is attached (Attachment B).
STRATEGIC PLAN:
4.2: Fund County services in a fair, efficient manner and provide needed public facilities and infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
The attached ordinance changes the acreage excluded from the calculation of net worth for purposes of the real estate tax
exemption program from 1.0 acres to 5.0 acres.
BUDGET IMPACT:
As noted in the November 2,2005 Executive Summary, the annual cost to Albemarle County of increasing the exempt
acreage from 1.0 acres to 5.0 acres for existing program participants is estimated at $8,000.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
After the public hearing, staff recommends the adoption of the attached ordinance to increase the acreage excluded from
the calculation of net worth from 1.0 acres to 5.0 acres.

BACKGROUND:
Upon review of County Code section 9-114, which authorizes the County Police Department to remove motor vehicles from
public and private property under certain circumstances, staff determined that this section was inconsistent with the state
enabling authority in certain respects. Specifically, the current ordinance provides that an abandoned or unattended motor
vehicle may be removed from public or private property if it lacks a valid license plate, valid county sticker or valid state
inspection sticker and the vehicle has been in the same specific location for 48 hours without being moved. However, the
enabling legislation for this ordinance, Virginia Code Section 46.2-1213, provides that such vehicles may only be removed if
left unattended for more than 10 days. The purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment is to correct this inconsistency
and conform the time limit to state law.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 3.1 Make the County a safe and healthy community in which citizens feel secure to live, work and play.
DISCUSSION:
The current ordinance authorizes the County Police Department to remove abandoned or unattended vehicles on public
roadways or other public property, and, in certain cases, from private property. The proposed ordinance clarifies that an
abandoned or unattended vehicle may be removed by the County for safekeeping or other authorized purposes to a storage
area if (1) it is inoperable or left unattended on a public highway or other public property and constitutes a traffic hazard; (2) it is
illegally parked; (3) it is left unattended for more than 10 days either on public property or on private property without the
permission of the property owner, lessee, or occupant; or (4) it is immobilized on a public roadway by weather conditions or
other emergency situation. Removal under this ordinance must occur by a police officer or other uniformed law enforcement
personnel designated by the Chief of Police. The ordinance does not apply to situations involving removal of vehicles from
private property generally by the owners of such property, or their agents or representatives, nor does it restrict such removal
by private property owners.
The proposed ordinance does not enlarge the authority of the County Police to remove vehicles from private property, but
simply changes the time within which abandoned or unattended vehicles may be removed from 48 hours to 10 days, and
otherwise conforms these provisions with state law.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The adoption of this ordinance is not expected to generate additional revenue or cost.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached ordinance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AGENDA TITLE:
Maximum Fines for Dogs Running at Large Violations
AGENDA DATE:
December 7, 2005
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Public hearing to consider proposed ordinance to
amend County Code Chapter 4, Animals and Fowl,
Article II, to classify permitting a dog to run at large as
a Class 4 misdemeanor and to increase the maximum
fine to $250.00.

BACKGROUND:
County Code section 4-213(B) provides that the punishment for unlawfully permitting a dog to run at large within the
designated areas of the County set forth in section 4-213(A) is a maximum fine of $25.00. County Code section 4-315
provides that the punishment for permitting a dog to run at large without a license tag, with limited exceptions, is a
maximum fine of $100.00.
Virginia Code Section 3.1-796.93 provides that the act of permitting a dog to unlawfully run at large is a Class 4
misdemeanor. Virginia Code Section 18.2-11 provides that the maximum fine for a Class 4 misdemeanor is $250.00.
Through local ordinance, a County can prescribe a fine up to the maximum amount. County citizens have indicated that
the maximum fines in the County Code are not an adequate deterrent to owners who permit their dogs to run at large. The
Board of Supervisors requested that staff prepare an ordinance increasing the potential fine up to the State maximum.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 3.1 Make the County a safe and healthy community in which citizens feel secure to live, work and play.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the maximum penalty is $25.00 for violations of County Code section 4-213 and $100.00 for violations of County
Code sections 4-312 and 4-314. State law permits the maximum fine to be $250.00. This ordinance would raise the
potential punishment for violations of these sections to a maximum penalty of $250.00. The Court, upon conviction, will
determine the appropriate fine.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Misdemeanor fines collected under the County Code are funds that are transferred to the County. The adoption of this
ordinance may generate some minimal additional revenue.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached ordinance.

September 13, 2005
Dear Members of the Board of Supervisors:
As residents ofIvy, we petition the Board of Supervisors to amend the Albemarle County
Code See 4-213 (B) regarding the penalty for conviction of dogs running at large. We feel that the
current maximum $25 fine for this Class 4 misdemeanor is out of step with the maximum of $250
allowable under State Code (VA Code 3.1-796.128).
A number of residents of Peacock Hill have been plagued by an individual who lets his
many dogs run loose in their yards and on the community roads. Often running in a pack, these
dogs have threatened them and their children on community roads and howled on their property
at all hours of the day and night, in flagrant violation of the County's ordinance against dogs
running at large (Sec. 4-213). In recent years, numerous personal appeals by disturbed neighbors,
as well as formal letters of complaint by the Community Association and direct warnings from
the Animal Control Officer, have failed to bring about compliance with the law and peace to our
neighborhood. Over the last year, several of us have followed the lead of Animal Control Officer
Sharon Tate, whose warrants we have supported with abundant evidence and court testimony. In
Albemarle General District Court, our neighbor has pled guilty twice and was convicted a third
time of letting his dogs run at large.
Nevertheless, the $25 penalty for each conviction has proved woefully weak as a
deterrent., leaving us all at risk. The individual just pays the fine, goes home, and then lets his
dogs run loose again. At the last hearing of June 21,2005, the presiding judge, the Hon. William
G. Barkley, stated that his hands were tied as a result of the County Code stipulating the
maximum fme and that he could not impose a higher penalty.
In consulting with County Attorney Mark Trank, we have learned that allowing dogs to
run at large is a Class 4 misdemeanor under V A Code 3.1-796.128, which allows for a maximum
fine of $250. Therefore, we hereby request that the Board of Supervisors amend See 4-213 (B) to
increase the maximum fme stated to $250, bringing County Code into harmony with State Code.
This action will allow judges the discretion of imposing a higher penalty for repeat offenders,
which will have a better chance of bringing about compliance with the law. For a dog owner
unconcerned with the peace and wellbeing of his neighbors and immune to the pleas of the
community, the current fme of $25 is a completely ineffective instrument in bringing a long
pattern of violations to an end.
According to Animal Control Officer Sharon Tate, such repeat violations are not only a
problem in Peacock Hill but also in numerous other subdivisions and areas of the County. On
behalf of our families and neighbors, and in hopes of promoting the peace and welfare of
residents throughout the County, we respectfully request your urgent and decisive action in this
matter.

Dear Mr. Rooker:
1 am very concerned about the great number of homeless dogs and cats in Virginia. 61,000+ dogs
and 63,000+ cats were killed at taxpayer expense in 2003 in Virginia. The vast majority of these
were healthy, adoptable animals. In 2003, the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA took in 2,262
dogs and 2,645 cats. Of those, 35% were euthanized because there was insufficient funding to
-cake adequate care of these homeless animals. In 2004, 300 fewer cats were received while the
number of intake dogs remained the same. 36% of these shelter dogs and cats were euthanized.
The Charlottesville area is one of the best places to live in America. We certainly haven't
addressed our overpopulation of homeless animals in a fashion that fits this distinction. Please
change this by increasing the funding to spay and neuter dogs and cats in central Virginia and
increasing the funding given to shelters that house these homeless animals so they can receive
the care they need until they are adopted.
You can do this by:
.:. Increasing the cost of a dog license in Albemarle County from $5 to the state maximum
of $10 for unaltered dogs as allowed by Virginia Code 3.1-796.87 while retaining the rate
of $3 for altered dogs. This increase in the difference between altered and unaltered dogs
will encourage people to spay/neuter their animals. Use those funds to defray the costs of
local animal control, including efforts to promote sterilization of cats and dogs.
.:. Enforcing the Albemarle County Code Sections 4-300 and 4-312 and the code of Virginia
3.1-796.85 and 3.1-796.92 stating that every dog must be licensed and must wear their
license tag, collecting the $100 maximum penalty allowed by Albemarle County Code
Section 4-315 when a dog is found without its license tag, and using those funds to defray
the costs of local animal control, including efforts to promote sterilization of cats and
dogs.
.:. Enforcing the Albemarle County Code Section 4-305 and the code of Virginia 3.1-
796.103 stating that payment of the license tax subsequent to the summons to appear
before a court for failure to pay the license tax within the time required shall not operate
to relieve the owner from the penalty, collecting the $100 maximum penalty allowed by
Albemarle County Code Section 4-315, and using those funds to defray the costs of local
animal control, including effOlis to promote sterilization of cats and dogs.
.:. Increasing the penalty each time a dog is found to be unlicensed to the state maximum of
$150 as allowed by Virginia Code 3.1-796.94.
.:. Requesting that your state legislators raise the state cap as allowed by Virginia Code 3.1-
796.87 for unsterilized dogs from $10 to $35, using this new law to increase the cost of a
dog license in Albemarle County to the new state maximum of$35 for unaltered dogs
while retaining the rate of $3 for altered dogs, and using these funds to promote
sterilization of dogs and cats. Increasing the difference between altered and unaltered
dogs to $32 annually should strongly encourage owners of all unsterilized dogs to have
their animals spayed or neutered.
You can do this by:
.:. Requiring that every person selling dogs/cats have a business license as required by
Albemarle County Code Section 8-101 A 1 and earmark those license fees to defray the
costs of local animal control, including efforts to promote sterilization of cats and dogs;
.:. Passing a local ordinance requiring that every person selling dogs/cats have a dealer
permit costing $50 per year and enforcing the penalty of a Class 3 misdemeanor or $500
penalty for violation as allowed by 3.1-796.84 of the code of Virginia. Use those funds to
defray the costs of local animal control, including efforts to promote sterilization of cats
and dogs.
You can do this by:
.:. Enforcing Section 4-207B of the Albemarle County Code and 33.1-796.73 of the code of
Virginia which states that no animal - including hunting dogs - may simply be abandoned
or dumped. This law is regularly broken after hunting season when large numbers of
abandoned hounds are collected by animal control officers and fill Virginian shelters.
.:. Enforcing the penalty of a class 3 misdemeanor and $500 penalty as allowed by the code
of Virginia 18.2-11 for violation of Albemarle County Code Section 4-207B and Virginia
code 3.1-796.73.
You can do this by: ---------------- -
.:. Adding dog license fees to the annual personal property tax bills sent by th~ty of
Albemarle. Use those funds to defray the costs ofloca1 animal control, including efforts
un_to promote sterilization of cats and dogs.
------_~______._u.__
t
Other states have made great headway in stabilizing their homeless dog and cat populations by
making changes similar to the ones requested in this letter. Please help bring the pet population
in central Virginia under control and make pet owners responsible. Enforce the laws already on
the books, fill in the holes by passing new ordinances, collect the maximum penalties allowed,
use all collected funds to defray the costs of local anima! control including efforts to promote
sterilization of cats and dogs, and ask the state legislation to raise the maximum penalties
allowed.

REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND: On April 17, 2004 SP 2003-058 Rio East Commercial Park (Veterinary
Office/Hospital) was approved with conditions. (See Attachments A, B & C). One of the conditions
said "Any enlargement or expansion of the veterinary office and hospital use will require an
amendment to this Special Use Permit (SP-2003-058)." SP-2003-058 was approved for a
veterinary office/hospital of 3,500 square feet. The applicant recently submitted a request to
enlarge the veterinary office/hospital to 7,500 square feet, requiring this request for an
amendment.
DISCUSSION: Staff has no objections to this request. The purpose for this expansion is the
original local veterinary office and hospital that was moving into this location has recently
combined its business with another veterinary office and hospital and due to growth in their
business they need a larger facility. The site can accommodate the larger building being
proposed. It does not appear that there will be any additional traffic impacts or other impacts that
would be detrimental to this request. Staff feels the following outstanding items can and should be
resolved during the site plan process:
. An adequate number of parking spaces are shown for the veterinary hospital and
the other buildings if they are developed as offices. However, the plan as proposed
. would require landowner agreements for cross-access easements and may require
Zoning Administrator approval of shared parking. These may be administratively
considered and approved during site plan review process.
1
.
It appears that a lot is being proposed that has no building site-only critical slopes
restricted area. As proposed, a subdivision plat would not meet zoning ordinance
requirements. This will need to be addressed during the subdivision process. Other
options are available to subdivide the property and support the proposed project.
The site will utilize an existing entrance to a proposed future state road. The
entrance radii do not appear to have handicap ramps, which is a requirement.
These handicap ramps need to be added to the entrance to bring it into compliance
with the current standards. This change can be addressed on the site plan.
.
.
RECOMMENDA TIONS:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the following conditions, which have been
reviewed by the County Attorney and Zoning staff:
1. A site plan shall be submitted for approval that shall be in general accord with the sketch
plan prepared by Keeney & Co., Architects dated August 29,2005, revised October 13,2005.
2. The sketch plan shows the building to be 7,500 square feet. Any additional square
footage of the veterinary office and hospital use will require an amendment to this Special Use
Permit (SP-2005-00011).
3. No overnight boarding use other than for those animals under medical care shall take place
at the veterinary hospital.
4. The outside area for walking of animals shall be separated from access by the public by
fencing.
5. The building shall be sound-proofed and air-conditioned.

Mr. Strickland said they addressed all the staff comments at the Planning Commission level. If a
deferral will allow him to address the Board's concerns about what staff wrote up in those comments, he
welcomes that opportunity.
Mr. Bowerman asked if staff would be able to come up with a positive recommendation on this
request. Mr. Cilimberg said staff's recommendation was for denial based on the use in that particular
location, in conjunction with the ARB's recommendation regarding the entrance corridor. They may
choose to go back to the ARB, present more information, and see if the ARB would have a different
opinion. He said the basic use in that location was staff's concern.
Mr. Bowerman said it is possible that if the Board approved this request, the applicant would go to
the ARB and never get a decision from them.
Mr. Rooker said that generally the ARB does not make use decisions. Mr. Cilimberg said they do
make a recommendation. They rarely recommend not approving a use, usually recommending
conditions they feel will address the question. He does not know whether the applicant could go back to
them and present further information to change that recommendation.
Mr. Davis said the ARB does have a roll in the ordinance regarding the outside storage use. That
is the one area where they do have a prescribed duty to make a recommendation.
Mr. Rooker said he has no problem if they want a deferral, but to what date should this be
deferred?
Mr. Dorrier suggested deferring it without setting a date. Mr. Davis said the process moves along
better if there is a firm date. The Board can defer it to a date certain, and if it is not ready, it can be
further deferred.
Mr. Rooker said he would move deferral. Mr. Bowerman said there is motion on the floor. Mr.
Davis said the motion had not been seconded. Mr. Boyd then withdrew the motion he had begun.
Mr. Rooker then offered motion to defer SP-2003-085 to July 14, 2004. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Bowerman. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
.
A YES: Mr. Rooker, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Wyant, Mr. Bowerman, Mr. Boyd and Mr. Dorrier.

ZMA-2003-11 Rio East Commercial Area (Sian #10, 111 - Request to amend the proffers of
ZMA-1996-004, to allow a veterinary hospital by special use permit. The property, described as
Tax Map 61, Parcels 124A part of & 124B part of, contains approximately .8456 acres, and is
zoned PDMC - Planned Development Mixed Commercial. The proposal is located on Rio East Ct
(private), approximately .1 miles from the intersection of Rio East Ct and Rt. 631 (Rio Road East),

COMMISSION MEETING.
SP-2003-58 Rio East Commercial Park (Veterinary Hospital) {Sian #35. 391 - Request for
special use permit to allow a veterinary office and hospital in accordance with Section 25A.2.2.1
of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for uses by special use permit in the C-1, CO, and HC
districts, which a veterinary office and hospital is one of those uses.. (Francis MacCall)
DEFERRED FROM THE MARCH 2, 2004 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.
Mr. MacCall summarized the staff report. The applicant is requesting to amend the proffers of
ZMA-1996-004, to allow the use of a veterinary hospital and office, which would then allow that
use to be permitted by special use permit in that PO-Me 20ning. Staff worked with the applicants
on the proffers in order to get them done in a clean and concise form. The changes that have

Attachment B
been made to the original proffers are not that extensive. The proposed proffers are very much
the same proffers that were approved in 1996, except the statement was added that the owner
was agreeable to adopt the original proffers, which would remain in effect for those parcels that
are not part of this particular application. The other changes were just the dates referring to the
sketch plan that they had in front of them and letter d) under # 2, which was the use by special
use permit of the veterinary hospital. Staff has reviewed this for compliance with the principles of
the Neighborhood Model and the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the
amendment to change the proffers, the approval of the special use permit with the conditions and
the modification of the supplemental regulations discussed in the report.
Ms. Joseph asked for clarification on the modifications.
.
Mr. MacCal1 explained that Section 5.1.11 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that a
soundproofed building shall be located no closer than two hundred (200) feet to any agricultural
or residential lot line. There is a residential lot line in the R-15 directly across the street, which
the Commission saw as Glenwood Station. In Glenwood Station's review, there was some
commercial put in the front and the reduction would be from the 200 feet down to 145 feet as
shown on the plan. The Zoning staff has taken done sound meter readings and found it was in
excess of 55 decibels. Therefore, staff feels that the modification would be acceptable.
Ms. Higgins noted the odd shape of the parcel near the entrance and asked why the special use
permit for the veterinary clinic was on both sides of the entrance.
Mr. MacCall noted that what was shown is area out of the restricted area, which pertains to #2 in
the proffers. The rest of it #1, specifically refers to the restrictive area and that was just a
redrawing of what was originally approved in the original proffers. He pointed out that it an
approximate area of 575' by 275' area, which was the extent of this special use permit in regards
to the amended proffers.
.
Ms. Higgins stated that the area defined as proposed special use permit area - when you deduct
the restrictive area, it wraps around the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Rieley stated his assumption was that was for a different parcel.
Mr. MacCall stated that the existing layout of the remaining 5.6 acres was what they were
changing in that area, which was specifically for this special use permit. That was the extent to
what was outside of the restricted area. The original proffers still apply to all the others around
the cul-de-sac.
Ms. Higgins stated that was proposed lot 6 and a portion of proposed lot 5 was excluded.
Therefore, it was the remainder of lot 5.
Mr. MacCall stated that was correct, but that currently it was all 124A and 1248. Those are
proposed and staff has not seen that proposed subdivision yet proposed.
Mr. Thomas asked if there were any more questions for staff. There being none, he opened the
public hearing on the special use permit and zoning map amendment for applicant and public
comment.
Jordon Juliano, with Rivanna Realty, stated that he would respond to any questions the
Commission may have.
Mr. Thomas invited public comment. There being no public comment, the public hearing was
closed and the matter brought back to the Commission for discussion and possible action.

Attachment B
Mr. Rieley moved for approval of ZMA-03-11 Rio East Commercial Area with the proffers as
outlined on Attachment E of the staff report.
Mr. Thomas asked if there was any more discussion.
Ms. Higgins noted that on the proffer form it referred to a copy of som~thing that was attached,
which was a copy of the Zoning Ordinance as it exists today, but that It was not attached: She
pointed out that would become a part of this action too and should be attached when this was
sent forward.
Mr. MacCall apologized for that oversight and noted that it would be included as part of the
packet when it was sent forward to the Board.
Ms. Higgins stated that the use of the property outside of the restricted area also refers to.that
and on the proffer amendments when you change them that she was not sure what was changed.
She pointed out that she did not have a problem approving this because it seems very specific,
but she did not think that it reads very specifically.
Mr. Morris seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of (6:0). (Edgerton - Absent - No)
Action on SP-2003-58:
Ms. Joseph moved for approval of SP-03-58 Rio East Commercial Park as outlined by staff and

ST AFF:
Judith C. Wiegand, AICP
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Request for Special Permit to allow
operation of a private school in a CO
commercial district.
PLANNING COMMISSION DATE:
November 15, 2005
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DATE:
December 7, 2005
OWNER/CONTRACT PURCHASER:
Albemarle Professional Court Partnership, Dr. Mark Friedlander and Celia G. Hines.
PROPOSAL:
The applicant is requesting a special permit to operate a private school for massage and facials in a
commercial district. The applicant already provides massages and facials to clients in this location.
The school has been operating in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires a special use
permit for a private school in a CO (Commercial) district. The special use permit application is the
means to rectify the violation.
BACKGROUND:
Since filing the application for a special use permit, the applicant has indicated that she might
want to expand the number of students in her classes. This may create parking problems in this
location. In a letter received November 1, 2005, the applicant indicates that she has informed the
manager of the building complex that she will not be renewing her lease, which ends January 31,
2006. She has requested an extension of the lease until June 2006, to allow her to move her
business into new quarters.
DISCUSSION/FINDINGS:
Staff has reviewed this application and believes that the special use permit, as requested in the
application, will be appropriate. Staff has explained that, when the applicant moves her business to a
new location, a new special use permit may be required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the application for a special use permit.

SP-2005-00021 American Spirit Institute Private School
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant, Celia G. Hines, is requesting approval of a special use
permit to allow a private school for training in massages and facials. The applicant has been
operating the school in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires a special use
permit for a private school in a CO (Commercial) district. This special use permit application
is the means to rectify the violation.
The proposed school would be located within an existing building at 2776 Hydraulic Road.
There are two other office buildings in the complex that share a parking lot. The applicant
proposes that the school consist of 1 employee and no more than 3 students at any given
time. Classes would be conducted during the day, 9am-3pm, and in the evenings, generally
from 5pm-l0m. These classes will be in addition to the massages and facials given to clients
on the premises.
Petition: Request for special use permit to allow use of a private school in accordance with
Section 23.2.2.6 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for private schools in CO commercial
districts. The property, described as Tax Map 61, Parcel 27, contains approximately 0.835
acre, and is located in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District at 2776 Hydraulic Road, near the .
corner of Hydraulic Road and Whitewood across from Albemarle High School. The property
is also zoned EC Entrance Corridor. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Neighborhood Service in Neighborhood 1 Development Area. General usage for
neighborhood service is neighborhood-scale retail, wholesale, office, service, and residential
(6 - 34 units/acre). General usage within the CO Commercial zoning district permits offices,
supporting commercial and service use, and residential by special use permit (15 units/acre).
Zonine: History: Prior to 1980, this parcel was zoned Commercial Business. In 1980, the
zoning was changed to Commercial Office.
Backe:round: This site has three buildings with a variety of office uses and a few retail uses.
The three buildings share a parking area. The applicant has been operating a business
offering massages and facials to clients in the building at 2276 Hydraulic Road. For some
time, she has also been offering classes in massage and facials. The operator has been cited
for operating a private school without a special use permit, which is required in the CO
(Commercial) district.
The Zoning Ordinance requires that, for school uses, the number of required parking spaces
shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator. To ensure adequate parking for this school,
zoning would limit the class size during normal business hours to no more than 3 students.
After 5pm, there is plenty of parking available and the class size would not need a limit-the
physical classroom space will dictate the number of students.

Character of the Area:
Other uses at 2776 Hydraulic Road include two dentists, a dental lab, a music store, a
chiropractor, a homeopathic medicine practitioner, an accountant, and another oUice. This
site is located on Hydraulic Road, across from Albemarle High School and south of
Whitewood Road.
There are several other professional office buildings both north and south of the subject
building that front on Hydraulic Road. To the east of these buildings are the Olde Oak Court
Condominiums and the Oak Forest neighborhood (single-family detached units).
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Neighborhood Servi{;e, which allows for
neighborhood-scale retail, wholesale, office, service, and residential (6 - 34 units/acre). The
proposed school is consistent with the Neighborhood Service designation.
The Neighborhood Model provides additional support to the Land Use Plan by setting forth
principles for how development should take place in Development Areas. The use is
proposed within an existing building and no exterior changes are proposed. StafI has
evaluated this proposal and does not believe that any modifications are needed to the site to
conform to the Neighborhood Model or other parts of the Comprehensive Plan. Since the
proposal is using an existing structure and no new development is taking place, a full review
of the proposal's consistency with the Neighborhood Model has not been provided.
.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance:
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be
issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial
detriment to adiacent property.
North, south, and directly east of the site are other office buildings. West across Hydraulic
Road is Albemarle High School. Southwest of the site and separated by one small parcel, is
the Oak Forest neighborhood of single-family detached homes. There are no modifications
proposed to the exterior of the building. Staff does not anticipate any signiticant tratlic
impacts. Staff finds that there is no negative impact from this proposal on the adjacent
properties.
that the character of the district will not be changed therebv,
.
This site is located within a Commercial Office district. The proposed use is a relatively
small instructional facility to be located entirely within the existing building. The proposal is
"l
-'
compatible with the site and surrounding areas.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
.
The proposed school for massage and facials is to be located entirely within an existing
professional office building in an appropriate zoning district. It is staffs opinion that this
proposal is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
Due to the limited scale of this school and its location within an existing building, approval
of this request will not negatively affect any of the by-right uses that are allowed within the
district or on this site.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed school will provide a unique service to the community. Staff has found no
public health, safety, or general welfare concerns with this proposal.

1. With the proposed condition, there is adequate parking available on site to address this
use.
2. The classroom training will provide a service to the community. .
3. As the use will be located entirely within an existing facility, no new land use impacts are
anticipated.
Staff finds no factors unfavorable to this request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AGENDA TITLE:
ZMA 2005-00012 Sandridge
SUB 2005-00274 Waiver Request
STAFF:
REBECCA RAGSDALE
SUBJECT/PROPOSAUREQUEST:
A rezoning is requested from R-2 to R-4 to
allow one additional lot and dwelling. A waiver
to section 14-404(A) of the Subdivision
Ordinance is requested also.
PLANNING COMMISSION DATE:
November 15, 2005
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DATE:
December 7,2005
PROPOSAL:
This request is to rezone .68 acres from the R-2 Zoning District to the R-4 Zoning District to allow for
construction of an additional dwelling and creation of one additional lot. A preliminary plat, SUB 2005-00274
has been submitted with this rezoning and a waiver to Section 14-404(A) requirements for lot location to allow
access from the lot onto a street or shared drive way is requested.
&CKGROUND:
Rezoning the property from R-2 the R-4 Zoning District is necessary because no additional dwellings can be
added to a .68 acre parcel without exceeding the density provisions of the R-2 Zoning District.
DISCUSSION/FINDINGS:
The proposed residence and size of the new lot would fit within the context of the existing neighborhood and
no negative impacts to adjoining residences have been identified. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the
CT 4 Urban General Designation in the Crozet Master Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of ZMA 2005-00012 and approval of the waiver to Section 14 to rezone .68 acres
from R-2 to R-4 zoning.

ZMA 2005-00012 Sandridge
Property Owners: M. W. Sandridge, Jr. and Ella S. Bailey
Petition:
Request to rezone .68 acres from the R-2 (Residential) Zoning District to the R-4
(Residential) Zoning District to allow creation of an additional lot and construction of a
single-family dwelling. The R-4 Zoning District allows 4 dwelling units per acre. The property,
with a street address of 5709 Wayland Drive, is described as Tax Map 56A 1, Section 2,
Block A, Parcel 3 and is located between Wayland Drive (Route 1216) and St. George
Avenue (Route 1202), approximately 200 feet east of Crozet Avenue (Route 810) in the
White Hall Magisterial district. The property is located in the Community of Crozet as
designated in the Comprehensive Plan. The Crozet Master Plan designates the property as
Urban General (CT 4), which is intended to support the center of downtown with a variety of
residential types and a mixture of residential and commercial uses. Maximum allowed
residential density is 4.5 dwelling units per acre for single family detached, single family
attached, and duplexes; up to 12 dwelling units per acre for townhouses and apartments;
and up to 18 dwelling units per acre in a mixed use setting. There is a concurrent
subdivision application (SUB200500274) for this property.
Character of the Area:
.
The area is north of downtown Crozet, just east of Crozet Avenue in the Wayland Park
subdivision and is characterized primarily by residential uses. The property is situated
between St. George Avenue and Wayland Drive, among single family homes zoned R-2.
Specifics of the Proposal:
This rezoning request to the R-4 Zoning District is to allow a subdivision and one additional
dwelling. (Attachment B) The rezoning involves a property .68 acres or 29,858 square feet
in size. The applicant would like to create a 10,900 square foot (minimum lot size for the R4
Zoning District is 10, 890 square feet) lot to build one single family dwelling. The existing
residence currently on the property would remain and faces Wayland Drive. The proposed
residence would face St. George Avenue and required setbacks for the new lot are 25 feet
from the front property line, 20 feet from the rear property line, and 15 feet on the side
property lines.
Applicant's Justification for the Request:
The applicant seeks to build a single family dwelling, which he intends to live in, but the
zoning regulations of the R2 Zoning District will not permit an additional dwelling.
Planning and Zoning History:
The house on the property was constructed in 1970 according to County records. Zoning of .
the property has been R2 since 1980.

Comprehensive Plan:
The Crozet Master Plan designates this property CT 4 Urban General and designates this
area of Crozet as an edge to Downtown. As such, this CT 4 area is intended to support the
center with a variety of residential types and some mixture of uses. The density
recommended in the Crozet Master Plan for single family dwelling is 4.5 dwelling units per
acre. This rezoning proposal fits within these guidelines in the Plan. An additional single
family dwelling at the proposed location within this part of Crozet is an appropriate housing
type and density. Since this rezoning request is to infill within an existing neighborhood that
dates to the 1950s, it was not reviewed for conformity with the principles of the
Neighborhood Model.
Analvsis of the Rezonina Reauest:
Bv-riaht Use of the Property
The property is zoned R-2 Residential, which allows single family detached dwellings and
other uses characteristically supportive of residential areas. The residential density allowed
by-right is 2 dwelling units per acre with up to 3 dwelling units per acre with bonus
provisions. By-right, only the one dwelling is permitted on the property.
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zonina
district
This rezoning is consistent with the intent of the R-4 Zoning District, which is intended to
provide for compact, medium density, single family development with a variety of housing
types and incentives for clustering.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
Roads
The proposed lot and residence would take access from St. George Avenue/Route 1216
and one additional residence on this road does not cause negative impacts. VDOT provided
comments on this request: This rezoning will allow for the subdivision a single lot into two
residential lots with adequate entrance locations; No additional improvements are required.
Water and Sewer
This property is located in the Albemarle County Service Authority's Jurisdictional Area for
water and sewer and service is available to this site.
Storm water management, School, and Fiscal Impacts
No impacts were identified with this rezoning request.
Anticipated impact on cultural and historic resources
No impacts were identified.
Anticipated impact on nearby and surroundinq properties
.
No impacts are expected from this rezoning request. The proposal fits well with the existing
residential character. The proposed new lot that will result if this rezoning is approved will be
of comparable size to other surrounding parcels.
Public need and iustification for the chanQe
Approval of this rezoning would potentially allow a residence to be built that would be
consistent with the pattern of single family residences located along Wayland Drive and St.
George Avenue.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of ZMA 04-13 of to rezone .68 acres of Tax Map 56A 1, Section
2, Block A, Parcel 3 from the R-2 to R-4 Zoning District.
SUB 2005-00274 Waiver Request
The applicant has submitted a waiver request and provided a justification to allow a
separate entrance for the newly created lot onto St. George Avenue. (Attachment C) Section
14-404(A) of the Subdivision Ordinance (Attachment D) requires that the new lot and
residue parcel share a joint entrance.
According to Section 14-404 the requirements of the section may be waived by the
Commission and indicates that in review of the waiver, the Commission shall determine
whether:
.
(i) the county engineer recommends an alternative standard;
Engineering is in agreement with this waiver request and does not offer any additional
recommendations.
(ii) because of unusual size, topography, shape of the property, location of the
property or other unusual conditions, excluding the proprietary interests of the
subdivider, strict application of the applicable requirements would result in
significant degradation of the property or to the land adjacent thereto. In approving a
waiver, the commission shall find that requiring the standard would not forward the
purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the
waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly
development of the area, to sound engineering practices, and to the land adjacent
thereto. In reviewing a waiver request, the commission may allow a substitute design
of comparable quality, but differing from that required, if it finds that the subdivider
would achieve results which substantially satisfy the overall purposes of this chapter
in a manner equal to or exceeding the desired effects of the requirement.
Strict application of the requirements of this chapter would result in degradation of the .
property through creation of a shared driveway to serve the proposed lot and the residue. It
;1"
,_ r
V~1nc.~r;l-J9;::; l-\.e_ZC';ii'~~:

.
.
would be challenging to create this shared access with the size of the lot and the location of
the existing residence on the residue. Having the new lot served by an entrance from St.
George Avenue would better fit the pattern of surrounding development. Granting this
waiver request would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare and does
promote orderly development.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the request to waive Section 14-404 be granted.

RE:
Sandridge Final Subdivision (SUB 05-274) - Waiver request to allow separate
entrance for new Lot 3B onto St. George Avenue (TMP 56Al-2-A-3)
Dear Bill:
.
On behalf of the applicant, I am hereby requesting a waiver of Section 14.404 of the
Albemarle County Code which requires a joint entrance for new Lot 3 B and residue parcel Lot
3A. Because the original lot TMP 56A 1-2-A-3 has frontage on 2 streets, Wayland Drive and St.
George A venue and because the residue parcel, Lot 3A is cUlTently developed with existing
access from Wayland Drive, it would be difficult to provide access through Lot 3A to Lot 3B
without significantly degrading Lot 3A. Additionally, the proposed house location on new Lot
3B will be in the vicinity of St. George A venue and easily accessible from St. George A venue.
Your consideration on this request is appreciated.
Sincerely,
~~
Tom Gale, L.S.

ALBEMARLE COUNTY CODE
.
A. Each lot, other than a comer lot within the development areas, shall have reasonable
access to the building site from only one street, shared driveway or alley established at the same time as the
subdivision; provided that a lot may be located so that its driveway enters only onto a public street abutting
the subdivision if: (i) the commission grants a waiver under subsection (C); (ii) the subdivider obtains an
entrance permit from the Virginia Department of Transportation for the access; (iii) the entrance complies
with the design standards set forth in sections 14-410(F) and 14-41O(G); and (iv) the subdivider
demonstrates to the agent prior to approval of the final plat that the waiver does not violate any covenants
to be recorded for the subdivision. For purposes of this section, the term "reasonable access" means a
location for a driveway or, if a driveway location is not provided, a location for a suitable foot path from
the parking spaces required by the zoning ordinance to the building site; the term "within the subdivision"
means within the exterior boundary lines of the lands being divided.
B. If the subdivision is within the rural areas, all subsequent divisions of the residue shall
enter only onto such street(s) shown on the approved final plat and shall have no immediate access onto to
any public street.
.
C. The requirements of this section may be waived by the commission as provided in section
]4-225.1. In reviewing a waiver request, the commission shall determine whether: (i) the county engineer
recommends an alternative standard; or (ii) because of unusual size, topography, shape of the property,
location of the property or other unusual conditions, excluding the proprietary interests of the subdivider,
strict application of the applicable requirements would result in significant degradation of the property or to
the land adjacent thereto. In approving a waiver, the commission shall find that requiring the standard
would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the
waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly development of the
area, to sound engineering practices, and to the land adjacent thereto. In reviewing a waiver request, the
commission may allow a substitute design of comparable quality, but differing from that required, if it finds
that the subdivider would achieve results which substantially satisfy the overall purposes of this chapter in
a manner equal to or exceeding the desired effects of the requirement.

Request for Critical Slopes Waiver
SUBJECT IPROPOSAUREQUEST:
ZMA 04-11 is a request to rezone
approximately 2.142 acres from C-1 to HC.
It is accompanied by SP 04-36 to allow
filling the floodplain, by SP 04-37 to allow
outdoor storage and display in an
Entrance Corridor, and by an application
for a Critical Slopes Waiver.
. OWNER/CONTRACT PURCHASER:
Free Bridge Land Trust II; Charles WM Hurt & Shirley L. Fisher, Trustees.
PROPOSAL:
The applicant, Charlottesville Power Equipment, is requesting this rezoning to allow
construction of a 12,000 square foot, two-story building for equipment sales, offices, and limited
repair and storage facilities. The application is accompanied by two SPs, one for fill in the
floodplain and the other for outdoor storage and display in an Entrance Corridor. The applicant
has also requested a critical slopes waiver. The application plan is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2004, staff presented Charlottesville Power Equipment to the Planning
Commission in a worksession. The applicant requested the worksession in response to staff's
comments on the first project submittal. In their comments, staff expressed concern about the
appropriateness of this use in this location, especially in close proximity to the Rivanna River
and proposed greenway. Staff raised several questions for the Commission to consider and to
provide guidance to staff. It was the consensus of the Commission that the proposed use would
be appropriate at this location, depending on the design.
.
DISCUSSION/FINDINGS:
Staff has reviewed these four applications and believes that the rezoning will enable
development of a difficult infill site, which might not otherwise be developed. The applicant has
offered a plan for development that incorporates many of the principles of the Neighborhood
Model. The site will feature a pedestrian connection to the adjacent greenway.
The applicant's decision to provide access from Route 20 rather than Free Bridge Lane supports
the County's intention to convert Free Bridge Lane to a paved pedestrian path within the
proposed greenway.
Staff has reviewed the request for a special use permit for fill in the floodplain and does not
believe that the fill will have a significant impact on the flood-carrying capacity of the river
because the amount of fill in the floodplain and on slopes ofT the travel way is small in
comparison to the width of the floodplain and the river in this area.
Staff has reviewed the request for a special use permit to allow outdoor storage and display in an
Entrance Corridor. The Architectural Review Board (ARB) reviewed this request for a special
use permit and has no objection to the request for the rezoning or for the special use permit, with
conditions.
Staff has reviewed the request for a critical slopes waiver and believes that the disturbance is
necessary to develop the site, that many of the slopes to be disturbed are manmade, and that
regrading will not adversely affect the stream valley.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the zoning map amendment, the request to fill in the floodplain,
the request for outdoor storage and display in an Entrance Corridor, and the waiver for
modification of critical slopes.

SP 2004-36 FILL IN THE FLOODPLAIN
SP 2004-37 OUTDOOR DISPLAY IN AN ENTRANCE CORRIDOR
Request for Critical Slopes Waiver
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant, Charlottesville Power Equipment, is requesting to rezone
2.142 acres from C-1 (Commercial) to HC (Highway Commercial) to allow a 12,000 square foot,
two-story building for equipment sales, offices, and limited repair and storage facilities. Behind
the building, a yard area will be used to store equipment waiting to be sold or repaired. A second
smaller building will most likely be built after the first building, and its use is undetermined at
this time. The use is expected to be either offices, a garden center, or other small, specialized
retail. Tax Map 78, Parcel 4B contains 1.871 acres and will be the location of the two buildings
and storage yard. Tax Map 78, Parcel 4A 1 contains 0.271 acre and is the site of a slope easement
essential for development of the main parcel. (See Attachment B)
Access to the site will be from Rte 20 via an easement that runs parallel to the driveway into the
adjacent McDonalds. The applicant has provided a letter dated November 2, 2005, with a
diagram of a portion of the site that shows the layout of the entrance to the Charlottesville Power
Equipment site and its relationship to the entrance to the McDonalds. See Attachment C for the
layout of the proposed entrance in the easement. This revised layout meets the requirements of
the County Engineer.
Originally, the site had access from Free Bridge Lane. However, most of Free Bridge Lane is
located in the 1 OO-year floodplain. It is a deadend road, and its entrance onto Rt 250 is not at a
crossover. Due to these characteristics and the County's decision to establish a greenway facility
along the road, the County has been discouraging establishment of any new access onto Free
Bridge Lane. Also, the topography of the site would make vehicular access to Free Bridge Lane
very difficult and costly.
In response to staff comments, the applicant has worked with McDonalds to expand the width of
the easement. The expansion will allow construction of both the access road and a sidewalk from
Route 20 to the proposed building. A letter from McDonalds supporting the revised easement
and realignment of retaining walls is included as Attachment D.
This rezoning request is accompanied by applications for two special use permits to be
considered with the rezoning. These special use permit applications are for filling in the
floodplain and for outdoor display and storage in an Entrance Corridor. A request for a critical
slopes waiver has also been submitted with the application for the rezoning.
The first special use permit would allow placement of fill in the floodplain, in accordance with
Section 30.3.05.2.2(3). The second special use permit would allow outdoor storage and display
in an Entrance Corridor, in accordance with Section 30.6.3.2(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The
"
-'
property is located on the northwest comer of the intersection of Rte 20 and 250, behind the
McDonald's restaurant.
.
The applicant has submitted proffers (Attachment E). The first proffer states that the
development on the site shall be "general accord" with the application plan, last revised on
October 10, 2005. The second proffer limits the number of uses allowed under the proposed
rezoning to "machinery and equipment sales, service, and rental" as allowed under the HC
District, in addition to the by-right uses in a C-l district. The third proffer addresses the form,
massing, character, and detailing of any building facades that "are not governed by a certificate
of appropriateness issues by the Albemarle County Architectural Review board." This proffer
indicates that those facades will be "in general accord with the building elevations" submitted by
the applicant, dated December 28,2004. These elevations are included in Attachment F.
Petition: Request to rezone approximately 2.142 acres from C-l (Commercial) to HC (Highway
Commercial) to allow 12,000 square feet of commercial space in two buildings with proffered
plan. The proposal also includes requests for special use permits for fill in the floodplain and for
outdoor sales and display in an Entrance Corridor (see SP-2004-36 and SP-2004-37 below). The
property, described as Tax Map 78, Parcels 4Al and 4B, is located in the Rivanna Magisterial
District on the northwest comer of the intersection of Route 20 and Route 250 East behind
McDonald's Restaurant. The Comprehensive Plan designates these lands as regional service in
the Neighborhood Three (Pantops) Development Area. General usage for regional service is
regional-scale retail and service, wholesale, office, lodging and conference, employment center,
and residential (6 - 34 units/acre). General usage within the C-l commercial zoning district
permits retail sales, service, public use and residential by special use permit (15 units/acre).
General usage within the HC zoning district permits commercial and service uses and residential
use by special use permit (15 units/acre).
.
Request for special use permit to allow fill in the floodplain in accordance with Section
30.3.05.2.2(3) of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for filling ofland. See concurrent requests,
ZMA-04-11 and SP-04-37.
Request for a special use permit to allow outdoor sales and display associated with permitted
uses, which would be visible from an Entrance Corridor Street in accordance with Section
30.6.3.2(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. See concurrent requests, ZMA-04-11 and SP-04-36.
Character of the Area
The properties subject to the application are located behind the McDonalds restaurant on the
northwest comer of the intersection of Routes 20 and 250. Uses surrounding this property
include two fast food restaurants, two gas stations, and a muffler repair facility. Free Bridge Lane
(Rt. 1421) borders one side of this property. A greenway proposed for the area will incorporate
Free Bridge Lane as a paved trail and the area between Free Bridge Lane and the Rivanna River.
RECOMMENDA TION

.
Staff has reviewed the proposal for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance and recommends approval of the Zoning Map Amendment with proffers and special
use permits with conditions, if a critical slopes waiver is approved.
Plannin2 and Zonin2 History
There have been no changes in the zoning classification of these two parcels since the County's
current Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1980.
Plannin2 Commission Input to Date
On November 16, 2004, staff presented Charlottesville Power Equipment to the Planning
Commission in a worksession. The applicant requested the worksession in response to staff s
comments on the first project submittal. In their comments, staff expressed concern about the
appropriateness of this use in this location, especially in close proximity to the Rivanna River
and proposed greenway. Staff raised several questions for the Commission to consider and to
provide guidance to staff:
1. Is the proposed use appropriate at this location? Does the Planning Commission find that
this site should contain a use that is oriented towards the Greenbelt and River?
The Planning Commission noted that it was not really so much whether this use is
appropriate or not, but it is more about how the buildings are oriented based on the
topography and how it falls down to the river.
2. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Outdoor Storage and
Display" is appropriate at this site, given its location near the Route 250 Entrance
Corridor and the Rivanna Greenway?
It was the consensus of the Commission that the proposed use would be appropriate at
this location, depending on the design.
One commissioner stated that the Commission's perspective may be different from the
ARB's because their point of view is the Entrance Corridor and the Commission's may
be from the river and other places.
3. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Fill in the Floodplain" at this
site is appropriate to support a development such as the one proposed?
It was the consensus ofthe Planning Commission that the design should be more
responsive to the floodplain. The Commission did not have the engineering information
to know how much area will be filled, but they indicated that the applicant should be very
cautious about filling in the floodplain.
5
One commissioner asked if the Commission felt that the request for fill in the floodplain
at this site is appropriate to support the development that is being proposed. The basic
question is whether this is the proper use for the infill in the floodplain.
The Planning Commission asked staff to look at the new FEMA maps, which will be in
effect in February, to determine the fringe and buffer area towards the floodplain.
It should be demonstrated that the amount of fill is absolutely minimized, and whatever
redesign is done to make the project a more sympathetic fit must take into account that
fill in the floodplain should be minimized.
Concern was expressed that it appeared the critical slope was caused by the previous
development on the McDonald's site. The larger building in this proposal is right in the
middle of the critical slopes on the site. The Commission was not opposed to the use, but
would like to see a redesign that might be more respectful of the critical slopes than what
the current proposal shows.
In general consensus, the Planning Commission agreed that utilizing buildings to take up
critical slopes is often a very sensible thing to do.
Applicant's Justification for the Request
The applicant has made the following key points: their plan responds to the requirements of the
Neighborhood Model and will enable a good use of a difficult site.
Staff notes that the site represents a difficult infill challenge. It is zoned C-l, a district that allows
retail, eating establishments, or other service uses by right. However, the applicant's market
research indicates that the site's poor visibility (it is situated behind two gas stations, two fast
food restaurants, and a muffler repair facility) makes it unlikely to support these uses because
they rely on highway traffic from nearby roads. Secondly, the site slopes steeply down to the
Rivanna River and floodplain covers a large percentage of the site. This results in a limited
amount of developable land. Therefore, the applicant has chosen to proceed with specialized
retail or office uses that will be a destination for shoppers. Since machinery and equipment sales
and service are only allowed in an HC District, the applicant has decided to request rezoning of
the property. The applicant has submitted a proffer stipulating that only the "machinery and
equipment sales, service and rental" use permitted under the HC district would be applicable to
the property, in addition to all C-l uses.
Bv-rh~.ht Use of the Property
With a C-l zoning classification, the property could be developed with selected retail sales,
service and public use establishments.
Comprehensive Plan and The Neiehborhood Model
Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan, entitled "Natural Resources and Cultural Assets," sets
goals for preserving those scenic resources that are recognized as essential to the County's
6

.
.
character, economic vitality, and quality of life. The Entrance Corridor Overlay Districts were
established to meet the Comprehensive Plan objective of maintaining the visual integrity of
important roadways. The Architectural Review Board (ARB) addresses the aesthetic impacts of
development on those roads by applying the County's design standards for development within
Entrance Corridors. The ARB has reviewed the applicant's conceptual site layout and building
design for conformity with the County's adopted design guidelines and recommends approval of
the conceptual plan with conditions.
Requests for a zoning map amendment within the Development Areas are assessed for
conformity with the Neighborhood Model (NMD) and the Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Plan shows this area as Regional Service:
. Uses allowed within this designation include regional-scale commercial, regional malls,
medical centers, mixed-use developments, hotel/motellconference facilities, professional and
corporate offices, interstate interchange developments and uses providing retail, wholesale,
business, and/or employment services to Albemarle County and the region.
. Areas designated as Regional Service typically encompass a large site (+30 acres), arterial
road accessibility, water and sewer availability, and compatibility with adjacent land uses.
Both vehicular and pedestrian interconnections are expected to nearby residential areas.
. A mixture of Urban Density Residential uses and community service uses is anticipated
within this designation.
The Pantops (Neighborhood Three) Development Area profile includes the following
recommendations:
. Construct a greenway along the South Fork of the Rivanna River and the Rivanna River. This
provides a pedestrian connection of the Ivy Creek Natural Area to the Urban Area and an
opportunity for passive recreation adjacent to the Urban Area. Develop the greenway to meet
the recreational and conservation needs of the residents in the Neighborhood, and the entire
County.
The proposed development includes a pedestrian path linking the site to the proposed greenway.
PRINCIPLES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL
Principle
Pedestrian
Orientation
How Principle Is Addressed in This Application
The concept plan offers a pedestrian circulation network within the site,
between parking areas and the two buildings. A sidewalk is proposed to
connect the building with the existing sidewalk along Route 20 and
with the proposed greenway along Free Bridge Lane.
The concept plan shows paths connecting the site with Free Bridge
Lane and, eventually, with the greenway. Landscaping will be provided
around the site to improve views to/from the site and make the paths
more attractive.

Relegated The plan provides most parking behind the main building, with a few
Parking spaces along the front. It is a good response to the objective of
relegated parking.
Mixture of Uses This is a very small site on which a single use is proposed, so this
principle does not apply.
Mixture of There is no housing proposed, so this principle does not apply.

Site Planning that This is a difficult infill site to develop. Because of the amount of
Respects Terrain floodplain, the existence of steep slopes, and difficult access,
development of this site it very constrained. Grading will result in some
2: 1 slopes that will need to be stabilized with vegetation. The applicant
has applied for a critical slopes waiver, noting in his application that
some, if not all, of the critical slopes are manmade.
The buildings are designed to make use of the grade; the first (main)
floor will be at the level of the parking lot, while the lower (basement)
floor will open onto the storage area behind the building.
The applicant will need to place a small amount of fill in the floodplain
to accommodate the access road.

Areas
ZMA 2004-11 - Rezonin2; from C-l to HC (Hi2;hwav Commercial)
STAFF COMMENT
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zonin2;
district
.
.
The site is currently zoned C-I (Commercial). C-I districts permit selected retail sales, service, .
and public use establishments. These districts are intended to be established only within the
8
.
urban area, communities, and villages as set out in the Comprehensive Plan. The by-right uses
permitted in C-I districts are those that require a certain level of visibility from a highway in
order to attract sufficient customers.
HC (Highway Commercial) districts permit development of commercial establishments, other
than shopping centers, primarily oriented to highway locations rather than to central business
concentrations (e.g., downtown areas). It is intended that HC districts be established on major
highways within the urban area and communities in the comprehensive plan. The by-right uses
permitted in HC districts are those that require proximity to a highway for access, but do not
necessarily require visibility to attract customers. These businesses are destinations that
customers plan to patronize, rather than ones they may select "on impulse" as they drive by.
The site does not front directly on either Rte 20 or 250; Tuffy Muffler, Wilco, Wendy's, and
McDonalds are all between the site and Rte 20 and 250. Thus, the site has little visibility from
either highway. The applicant's market research indicated that the uses permitted under the
current C-I zoning would not be financially feasible due to this lack of visibility. Instead, the
applicant is proposing a use-machinery and equipment sales, service and rental-that they feel
is more likely to be successful on the site. This use is a highway-oriented destination, the type
permitted in HC districts. However, many of the other uses permitted in an HC district would not
be appropriate in this location. So, the applicant has proffered that the only HC use permitted
will be machinery and equipment sales, service and rental, along with all C-l uses.
. Public need and iustification for the chan2e
Staff believes that rezoning this property from C-I (Commercial) to HC (Highway Commercial)
will make the property more developable for the purpose of regional services and sales.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
No adverse impacts are expected on streets, water, and sewer.
Anticipated impact on natural, cultural, and historic resources
No impact is anticipated on cultural or historical resources of the County. The pedestrian path
that ties-in to the proposed greenway will be a benefit for the County. Eliminating the access to
Free Bridge Lane will simplify the greenway planning process.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors that are favorable to the rezoning request:
.
I. The rezoning will enable more efficient use of a development area site without adversely
impacting environmental resources.
2. The plan incorporates many of the principles of the Neighborhood Model.
3. The site will feature a pedestrian connection to the adjacent greenway.
9
4. Access to the site will be provided via an easement on the adjacent McDonalds site,
rather than from Free Bridge Lane. This alternative access supports the County's
intention to convert Free Bridge Lane to a paved pedestrian path within the proposed
greenway.
.
Staff has identified no factors that are unfavorable to this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning with the attached proffers.
SP 2004-36 FILL IN THE FLOODPLAIN
Applicant's Proposal
The applicant proposes to place a small amount of fill in the floodplain, outside of the stream
buffer, to accommodate grading necessary for the buildings and parking areas. Placing the fill
will create some 2: 1 slopes and require retaining walls on both sides of the access road and at the
comer of the parking lot near the Wilco facility.
STAFF COMMENT
Staff has reviewed the request for a special use permit for fill in the floodplain. From the
information on the concept plan and in the application, the property is in an area of detailed study
on FIRM 287, and as such will require the use of the FEMA model or its equivalent.
.
The fill in the floodplain will cover an area of approximately 62 square feet, a small area in
comparison to the width of the floodplain and the river in this vicinity. So, staff does not believe
that the fill will have a significant impact on the flood-carrying capacity of the river. However,
because this is a detailed study area for FEMA that was recently updated, staff would like to
keep the study area maps up-to-date. Requiring the applicant to obtain a letter of map revision
also keeps FEMA informed in case they should have a concern with the fill.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of SP-2004-36, subject to the following conditions:
1. A letter of map amendment must be obtained from FEMA.
2. Copies of state and federal permits (DEQ, Army Corps of Engineers) must be provided.
SP 2004-37 OUTDOOR STORAGE AND DISPLAY IN AN ENTRANCE CORRIDOR
Applicant's Proposal
.
]0
.
.
The applicant proposes to store and display equipment outside the building in the locations
indicated on the plan shown in Attachment G. Some of the for-sale equipment will be displayed
outside the building or under the tower, and some of the equipment waiting for repair will be
stored outside in the lot at the rear of the building.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning Ordinance Sections 31.2.4.1 and 30.6.3.2.b, and recommends approval of SP 2004-
37, with conditions.
Architectural Review Board (ARB)
The ARB reviewed this proposal at its meeting on September 6, 2005. The ARB had no
objection to the request for the rezoning. The ARB has no objection to the request for the Special
Use Permit, with conditions. The ARB's comments are in Attachment H.
STAFF COMMENT
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued
upon a finding bv the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adiacent property,
It is anticipated that the storage and display of lawn care and similar equipment will have no
negative impact on the surrounding uses or on the site itself. The conditions proposed by the
ARB will prevent the equipment from being visible to drivers and pedestrians in the Entrance
Corridor.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby
It is anticipated that the proposed use will not change the character of the district for the
following reasons:
. The site is surrounded by other commercial uses.
. The conceptual layout demonstrates that the proposed use will respect the proposed adjacent
greenway.
. The display area is limited in size and will be screened by the building.
. Recommended additional landscaping will help limit visibility of the display from the road.
The potential impact of the use on the character of the district has been addressed by the ARB.
The ARB has recommended conditions of approval.
. and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,

Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance, as stated in Section 1.4, and identified no conflict that would arise as a result of its
approval.
.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
The proposed display use will not have an impact on permitted uses on adjacent property.
Visibility of the site from McDonalds will be limited by landscaping.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance,
There are no additional regulations in Section 5.0 specifically addressing the display of vehicles.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
No adverse impacts on the public health, safety, and/or welfare are anticipated.
Summary
The proposed special use meets the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance.

Staff recommends approval of SP 2004-37, subject to the following conditions:
1. Site lighting shall be limited to the satisfaction of the ARB, as illustrated in the ARB-
approved lighting plan, dated October 12, 2005, and prepared by Terra Partners, LLC.
2. The storage yard fence shall be of material, character, and design that are coordinated with
the building, as approved by the ARB.
3. Regarding items for storage/display:
a. Equipment shall be stored/displayed only in areas indicated for storage/display on the
"Display Area Exhibit" plan dated October 12,2005.
b. Items located in the storage lot on the north side of the building shall not exceed 10
feet in height.
c. Items located in the storage/display areas under the two easternmost awnings on the
south side of the building shall be limited to small lawn mowers, rototillers, and other
similarly sized items. Items on display shall not extend into sidewalk, landscape, or
parking areas.
d. Items located under the tower shall be fully contained within the structure of the
roofed tower, as shown on the architectural elevation drawing sheet A3 (East/front
Elevation) and A5 (South Elevation), dated December 28, 2004.
e. Items for sale/storage/display shall not be elevated anywhere on the site.
4. Retaining wall materials are subject to ARB approval and shall be indicated on the ARB-
approved site development plan.

. Request for Critical Slopes Waiver
The applicant has requested a Critical Slopes Waiver. Staff has reviewed the request for a
Critical Slopes Waiver. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance
The areas of critical slope are along the natural hillside between McDonald's and Free Bridge
Lane, and in a former stockpile area behind the Wilco site. There is also a disturbance of man-
made critical slopes along the entrance, which is off-site, on the embankment created by the
McDonalds adjacent to Route 20, above their existing storm water basin. After temporary
disturbance for erosion control measures, it is expected that most of the critical slopes on the site
will be disturbed.
Areas Acres
Total site 2.139 (tm.78-4B & 78-4A 1)
Critical slopes 0.46 I 0.22% of site
Critical slopes disturbed 0.39 I 85% of critical slopes *
* the area of off-site critical slope disturbance for the entrance is an additional 0.10 acres.
Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable
alternative locations
.
The off-site disturbance and a small comer of the on-site disturbance are necessary to create the
entrance and travel way to the site.
Compliance with Zonin2 Ordinance 18-4.2
Staff will address each provision of Section 4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
These provisions are created to implement the comprehensive plan by protecting and conserving
steep hillsides together with public drinking water supplies and floodplain areas and in
recognition of increased potential for soil erosion, sedimentation, water pollution and septic
disposal problems associated with the development of those areas described in the
comprehensive plan as critical slopes. It is hereby recognized that such development of critical
slopes may result in: rapid and/or large-scale movement of soil and rock;
Proper slope and wall construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will
prevent any movement of soil.
excessive storm water runoff
.
Storm water runoff will be increased by impervious areas and steeper slopes being placed on
the site. A waiver has been requested for detention, and will likely be granted with the site
plan review according to 17 -314F6, provided adequate channels are satisfactorily addressed
through off-site improvements. Staff had recommended to the applicant that some benefit
could be provided by improving the existing basin for the McDonald's site, but the applicant
13
has been unable to interest McDonalds in sharing this facility. Instead, the applicant has
chosen an alternative means of managing storm water
.
siltation of natural and man-made bodies of water;
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control on-site during
construction. Proper stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability, on-site.
The off-site disturbance will likely cause siltation in the McDonalds basin, which lies directly
below the disturbance and a proposed retaining wall.
loss of aesthetic resource;
This area is visible from the greenway trail and Free Bridge Lane, and has a limited view
from Route 20. It has been recently cleared of small trees and brush in some areas. There is
trash and debris on the site.
The Comprehensive Plan Greenway Plan Trail Locations Map shows this greenway trail as a
"Class A" trail. Class A trails are to be eight feet wide, either paved or compacted crushed
stone, and ADA and bicycle accessible. Thus, this section of the greenway is expected to
receive significant use.
This section of the greenway will be a part of the larger County system and can expect to
receive significant use. It will be available to both users of the site and to County residents.
The appearance of the site from the greenway is important; removal of the unsightly brush
and debris will benefit users of the greenway. Further, the applicant's provision ofa resting
area with benches as part of the greenway connection will be appreciated by users.
.
and in the event of septic system failure, a greater travel distance of septic effluent, all of which
constitute potential dangers to the public health, safety and/or welfare.
This is not a concern, as the site will be serviced by public sewer.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff can recommend approval of the critical slopes waiver because most of the slopes to be
disturbed are manmade and the proposed regrading and vegetation shown on the concept plan
indicate conformity with recommended erosion and sediment control measures.

RE: Charlottesville Power Equipment Proposed Entrance
Dear Judy:
Enclosed, you will find a copy of the latest entrance design for Charlottesville Power Equipment.
We believe that the realignment adequately addresses County Engineering's concerns of the flow
of traffic between McDonald's Restaurant and Route 20.
The new alignment is situated perpendicular to MacDonald's entrance and avoids possible
disturbance to McDonald's parking. Additionally, a Stop sign has been placed at the
Charlottesville Power Equipment exit to prevent any confusion as to right-of-way.
Please contact me with any questions that you might have. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
~

COMMISSION WORKSESSION DATE:
TARPLEY V. GILLESPIE
November 16,2004
ZMA 2004-11 Charlottesville Power Equipment
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant, C. W Hurt Contractors, in seeking approval to rezone a 2.142 acre property
from C-l Commercial to HC Highway Commercial for the Charlottesville Power Equipment
rental business. The request also includes two special use pernlit applications: one request
for fill in the floodplain and another for outdoor sales and display, A critical slopes waiver
will also be necessary with this proposal. The site is located to just west of McDonalds off of
Route 20 North in the Pantops Area.
Petition:
ZMA: 2004-11 Request to rezone 2.142 acres from C-l (Commercial) to HC (Highway
Commercial) to allow a 12,000 square foot, two-story structure for the Charlottesville Power
Equipment Company and a second building of undetermined specifications. The proposal
includes requests for outdoor sales and display and fill in the floodplain (see SP-04-36 and
SP-04-37). The property, described as Tax Map 78, Parcel 4Al, is located in the Rivanna
Magisterial District on the northwest comer of the intersection of Route 20 and Route 250
East behind McDonald's Restaurant. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Regional Service, in Neighborhood Three.
Two Special Use Permit Applications, SP 2004-36 and 2004-37 were submitted with this
application. Those permits are for "Fill in the Floodplain" and "Outdoor Sales and Display",
respectively. A critical slopes waiver will also be needed.
Purpose for the WorksessionlDiscussion:
The proposed development would require a rezoning from Cl Commercial to HC Highway
Commercial. The C 1 district does not allow machinery and equipment sales, service and
rental. Therefore, the applicants are seeking the more intense HC district. The development
would also necessitate the two special use pernlits mentioned above.
The applicant has requested this warksession in response to staff comments received after
their first submission, With the first submission, staff expressed concern about the
appropriateness ofthis land use at this location, given the proximity to the Rivanna River and
plmmed Greenbelt trail (See Attachment C). The applicant has responded by providing some
additional information about the topography, proposed grading and how the use will be
screened from Free Bridge Lane. The applicant has also moved Building 2 from the east to
the west side of the site, allowing it to function as a visual screen between the greenway and
power equipment outdoor sales and display.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property for Regional Service use in Neighborhood
3 (Pantops). Regional Service uses generally include: "regional-scale commercial, regional

malls, medical centers, mixed use developments, hotel/motel/conference facilities,
professional and corporate offices, interstate interchange developments and uses providing
retail, wholesale, business, and/or employment services to Albemarle County and the
region." The proposal for the sales and rental of power equipment and for an office use
would be generally consistent with the uses envisioned under this designation.
.
The Comprehensive Plan addresses the need to develop a greenway trail for both pedestrians
and bicyclists along the eastern edge of the Rivanna River. A Greenbelt Trail is planned for
this segment of the Rivanna corridor along Free Bridge Lane. The Neighborhood Three
Study, which the Comprehensive Plan references and looks to for guidance in the
Neighborhood Three (pantops) Development Area, encourages "river oriented development. "
It suggests commercial facilities along the green way be designed to encourage utilization by
trial users. Staff is concerned that approval of this rezoning will result in a lost opportunity
for such a river oriented development on this site.
Plannine aDd ZOOiD!?; Historv:
There has never been a development proposal for this property. The site plan for the adjacent
McDonalds, located on Parcel 78-4Al shows an access easement from the McDonalds site
onto this property.
In 2001, ZMA 2001-9 River's Edge Commercial Park was approved for a parcel north of this
site fronting along Free Bridge Lane. That rezoning allowed Parcel 78-58H to be developed
comprehensively with Parcel 78-58G, removing access from Free Bridge Lane and creating a .
new access from Route 20.
Character of the Area:
The site is zoned C-1 Commercial. The site is undeveloped and wooded. The property
slopes down towards the Rivanna River (See attachment A). The property is bounded to the
west by Free Bridge Lane, to the East by the McDonalds site. Just to the south of this site are
the Wilco convenience store and other commercial uses fronting along Route 250. North of
the site on Parcels 78-58H and 78-58B is the River's Edge Commercial Park.
Ouestions for the Commission:
1. Is the proposed use appropriate at this location? Does the Planning Commission
find that this site should contain a use that is oriented towards the Greenbelt and
River?
Staff believes that the use can be supported at this location even though the Comprehensive
Plan recommends a use oriented towards the Greenbelt and the river. As stated, the
Neighborhood Three Study recommends that commercial uses along this segment of the
Rivanna River be oriented towards to River to encourage an interaction between the
greenway and the commercial development. The applicant asserts that this particular site
does not lend itself well to such a river oriented use, due to the physical constraints of this
site, the surrounding auto-oriented commercial uses, and access from McDonalds. Staff
recognizes this point of view for this particular site. However, due to guidance offered by the .
Neighborhood Three Study and past Planning Commission expressions of a desire for

appropriate uses along the Rivanna Greenway, staff and the applicant are seeking Planning
Commission guidance on this issue early in the rezoning process,
Staff recognizes that the applicant has made improvements to the proposal, such as the
relocation of Building 2 to the west to create a visual buffer from Free Bridge Lane. In light
of the changes made and information provided by the applicant in the recent submittal, staff
agrees with the applicant's logic. However, we recognize that approval of a rezoning to He
could result in a lost opportunity for a more appropriate development on this site.
The single access to the site is through McDonalds. The McDonalds site plan was approved
with an access easement to this site. In concept, staff supports taking the access through
McDonalds, which will allow the future possibility of Free Bridge Lane becoming a linear
park or non-vehicular trail. Further anal ysis of the access will be necessary. Staff will
continue to evaluate the access issues as the applicant provides more detailed infoID'lation
about types of vehicles and deliveries that will be generated by this use.
2. Does the Planning Commission believe that the requestfor "Outdoor Storage and
Display" is appropriate at this site, given its location near the Route 250 Entrance
Corridor and the Rivanna Greenway?
Staff generally believes that the outdoor display and storage aspect of the use can be
mitigated and that the display is appropriate for thei site. The applicant asserts that the visual
impacts of the outdoor storage and display can be mitigated through screening and building
placement and working with the natural topography of the site. The cross sections provided
by the applicant show that there will be a 100 foot vegetated buffer between Free Bridge
Lane and the developed portion of this site. This buffer area contains existing vegetation,
including trees. Replanting of some areas will be necessary after construction of this project.
There will be a 24 foot drop in elevation between the site and Free Bridge Lane. Staff can
support the request but asks for Commission comments. Are there issues or concerns related
to the request for Outdoor Sales and Display that staff should be aware of as we proceed with
the review of this proposal?
3. Does the Planning Commission believe that the requestfor "Fill in the
Floodplain" at this site is appropriate to support a development such as the one
proposed?
Staff does not have sufficient information to assess the impacts of fill in the floodplain at this
time. The proposal does not include any building construction within the floodplain. The
proposal, would however, require fill impacts to extend 1 0 to 20 feet into the floodplain. The
fill in the floodplain is necessitated by grading to prepare the site for development. There
will also be disturbance of critical slopes. All of the disturbed critical slopes appear to be
manmade. At this point, limited information has been provided relating to fill in the
floodplain. Further review of the Fill in the Floodplain will be conducted by County staff
after the worksession, when more detailed information is provided. The applicant has stated
that further engineering information will be provided relating to fill in the floodplain will be
provided after the Planning Commission has had the opportunity to provide guidance on the
proposed land use, The primary purpose of this worksession is to seek guidance on the Land
Use question. Are there any issues or questions related to the fill in the floodplain request
that need to be considered during the staff review?
Summary:
The applicant and staff are seeking the Planning Commission's guidance on the proposed
land use. Once the Commission has weighed in on the land use question, then the applicant
will provide more detailed engineering information and the staff will conduct a more
complete analysis of the specifics of the development proposal.

Ms. Tarpley Gillespie
Senior Planner
401 McIntire Road, Suite 227
Charlottesville, V A 22902
RE: Resubmittal ofZMA 04-011
Dear Tarpley:
We are pleased to provide a revised Application Plan for the Williams Property (aka
Charlottesville Power Equipment). The intent of this submission is to get to a Planning
Commission worksession as soon as possible in order to resolve the planning staff's concerns
with the use. Therefore, this submission does not address the more detail oriented staff concerns
(e.g. floodplain impact, SWM design, etc). If the planning staff's concerns with the use are
mitigated as a result of this submission, then we would like to have the opportunity to provided
additionaL more detailed information prior to going to the Planning Commission for a public
hearing.
Planning Department Comments
1. We believe that the visual impacts to any future greenway trail will be minimal. The
attached cross sections shows a 24-foot vertical and 100-foot horizontal separation between
Free Bridge Lane and the edge of the storage lot associated with Building A. This elevation
difference will make it difficult for a pedestrian to even look into the site. With the proposed
stockade fence surrounding the storage yard, only the upper floor of Building A will be
visible. Additionally, we will carry whatever fa9ade treatment is approved by the ARB to the
fa9ade facing the greenway trail.
However, we are sensitive to staff's concerns and the potential impacts. Therefore, the
concept plan has been revised to address potential aesthetic impacts in the follow ways:
a. There will be a continuous, undisturbed, vegetated buffer along Free Bridge Lane that
will be at least 50 to 80 feet wide.
'~I ("'-~"
",\.""(",1,
I .,
_..<",."J
:' l
b. The Building B has been brought closer to the greenway so as to shield the parking lot
and provide a fa9ade that is more in keeping with uses preferred by staff
,
c. The retaining walls have been replaced with slopes that will be replanted with shrubs
and other screening vegetation.
d. A 5-foot high stockade fence enclosing the storage lot is proposed (note the line and
circle marks surrounding the storage lot).
As to the site's ability to "relate to the greenway trail". . . We understand staff's desire to
orient uses to the river, but we do not believe that this site lends itself to that goal. The
distance between the buildable area (the area outside the floodplain) and the road ranges
i:
t.
lk'
from 55 to 100 feet. Without encroaching on the floodplain with buildings, there is no way
to front Free Bridge Lane with a use. Additionally, there is a minimum of20 feet of vertical
difference between the buildable portion of the site and the road. This creates a series of
steep slopes that would make pedestrian access difficult and handicap access extremely
difficult. Finally, uses that would relate to the greenway trail probably would not relate to
the two gas stations, the fast food restaurant or the muffler repair shop to which we are
immediately adjacent. These adjacent uses create an economic and aesthetic barrier to the
uses envisioned by staff. Therefore, we respectfully request that staff reconsider the merits
of pursuing a greenway/ river oriented use on this site.
2. Access to the site will be through McDonalds in an access easement that is shown on the
McDonald's site plan. This access easement was always intended to serve our lot. Since the
first submission, our engineer has surveyed the easement and the access on this concept plan
is located within that easement. We defer to the County to advise what amendments or
approvals will be necessary.
3. The concept plan delineates the impacts to the floodplain. Fill impacts extend 10 to 20 feet
into the floodplain and will result in less than 5% reduction to the volume of the floodplain.
If the planning department no longer contests the use, we will be happy to provide a more
detailed floodplain analysis.
4. Display areas will be in the front of Building A between the parking lot, the building, and a
small pad area on the eastern side of Building A. The area in front ofthe building would
showcase small mowers and the pad area would contain one or two riding lawn mowers. We
will work with the ARB to appropriately landscape these display areas.
5. The sidewalks, retaining walls and key landscape areas are shown on the plan.
6. Building A is a small lawn mower/ tractor sales and repair shop that will operate during
normal business hours. Customers will drop off and pick up equipment and supplies at the
front door (the side facing the Wilco Station and Wendy's) during those hours. Deliveries
will be made at the rear of the site and will also occur during normal business hours. The site
has been designed to accommodate large trucks similar to those currently delivering to the
McDonald's next door.
7. We are willing to provide proffers.
8. As we discussed, we are providing six full-size copies and one reduced copy of the plans.
Engineering Department ZMA Comments
1. The conceptual grading plan has been provided. It shows the floodplain more clearly, the
area of the floodplain to be filled, retaining walls, and critical slope areas.
While we cannot engineer the stormwater management area until Planning is no longer in
opposition to the use, we have labeled the area where we propose for the stormwater quality
management. Since the County has recently approved stormwater water quality management
biofilter on the adjacent River's Edge property, we will propose a similar structure. Please
note, the County did not require a special use permit for the River's Edge biofilter because
the area excavated was the same as the area "filled" to create the biofilter's berm. Thus,
there was not "net fill" in the floodplain (i.e. there would be not net displacement of
floodwaters). We will attempt to mimic that design.
1!
.
.
.
<j!t;
.
.
.
Please note that the vast majority of critical slopes that will be disturbed are manmade critical
slopes that were created with the construction of the McDonalds and the Wileo Station.
2. The previous concept plan used the County's 5-foot topo for the existing topography. This
concept plan uses 2-foot topo derived from an aerial survey of the site.
3. The access easement for this site is shown and approved on the McDonald's site plan.
4. Additional SWM details will be supplied on future versions of this concept plan. Until
Planning no longer opposes the use, we cannot afford to engineer the SWM structures.
However, there is clearly enough room for water quality management structures in the
floodplain fringe. We intend to seek a waiver to water quantity management because we are
adjacent to the floodplain. Future engineering will determine whether the culverts under Free
Bridge Lane are adequate enough to accommodate the added runoff.
5. Critical Slopes are provided.
6. Items A-E will be addressed at the site plan stage.
Engineering Department SP Comments
1. Existing and proposed (in bold) topography are shown on the concept plan.
2. The 100-floodplain is labeled on the concept plan.
3. Limits of floodplain are labeled on the concept plan.
4. Future engineering to determine the exact volume offill in the floodplain will be performed
once Planning no longer opposes the use. Preliminary engineering has determined the
following:
a. All fill will be in the Floodplain Fringe and it will extend only 10 to 20 feet into a very
wide floodplain fringe area.
b. All structures and parking will be located outside the floodplain.
c. The proposed activity appears to obstruct less than 5 percent of the 100-year floodplain
cross sectional area. Thus, we do not believe that a submittal of floodplain computations
will be required. (We will of course submit the cross sectional information outlined in
the Design Manual once Planning no longer opposes the use.)
5. Additional SWM details will be supplied on future versions of this concept plan. Until
Planning no longer opposes the use, we cannot afford to engineer the SWM structures.
However, there is clearly enough room for water quality management structures. We intend
to seek a waiver to water quantity management because we are adjacent to the floodplain.
Future engineering will determine whether the culverts under Free Bridge Lane are adequate
enough to accommodate the added runoff.
6. We will submit the cross sectional information outlined in the Design Manual once Planning
no longer opposes the use.
Zoning Department Comments
2. The application provides an 8/18/99 plat for TMP 78-4B (shown as Lot C) and lists the
acreage as 1.871 acres. The second plat (10/5/1988) lists TMP 78-4A1 square footage as
11,785 or 0.271 acres. Thus the total acreage is 2.142 acres.
t3
The County records show TMP 78-4B with 1.871 acres and TMP 78-4Al with 0.268 acres.
It looks like the County records are shorting TMP 78-4Al by 0.003 acres. Hopefully, this
explanation clarifies the matter, if not, please provide further details.
3. We are willing to provide proffers.
4. We interpret Mr. Fritz's comments as qualified support for the amount of parking proposed.
Again we are proposing to allocate the 37 spaces in the following manner:
a. For Building A - Lawn Mower Equipment Sales and Repair use.
1 space per 400 sq. ft. of showroom -7 4,000 sq. ft -7 10 spaces
1 space per employee -7 8 employees -7 8 spaces
1 space per 500 sq. ft. of warehouse area -7 1,500 sq. ft. -73 spaces
(parts storage and repair) open to the public
o spaces for repair area! storage area -76,000 sq. ft. -7 0 spaces
(parts storage and repair) NOT open to the public
Total 21 spaces required
The minimum requirement would be 21 spaces. We are proposing 22 spaces be allocated
to Building A.
b. For Building B - A roughly 3,800 sq. ft. building that would likely be an office.
1 space per 250 sq. ft. of office -7 3,800 sq. ft -7 15 spaces
Please clarifY ifzoning does not support Mr. Fritz's comments.
5. Please see the response to comment #4 in the Engineering Departments comments above.
6. Responses to comments on the Fill in the Floodplain SP will be addressed once Planning is
not opposed to the use. Additional explanation is provided below.
Responses to comments on the Outdoor Display SP will be addressed once Planning is not
opposed to the use; however, we have labeled the display areas. These areas will be
relatively small and unobtrusive. Landscaping approved by the ARB will most likely
mitigate any concerns.
Current Development Comments
1. We believe adequate parking is provided. Please see response to Zoning Department
Comment #3. Please advise ifparking is not adequate.
2. Access to the site will be across the McDonald's site in an access easement that is shown on
the McDonald's site plan. This access easement was intended to serve our lot. Since the first
submission, our engineer has surveyed the easement and the access on this concept plan is
located within that easement.
Service Authority Comments
It appears that all necessary utilities are available either on-site or in close proximity.
VDOT Comments
The site is currently zoned C-l. This designation would allow for a wide variety of commercial
uses that would generate an equivalent amount of traffic as the proposed uses. In discussions
with VDOT, it has been determined that a full fledged traffic analysis is not warranted. We
provide the following information to bolster the case that a traffic analysis in not warranted.
~

Ai/'

.
Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers' traffic generation manual (6th ed.), Building A's
6,000 square feet of sales would generate 244 trips (ITE code 814: 40 ADT/ 1,000 sq. ft. X 6)
and its 6,000 square feet of warehouse/ repair area would generate 30 trips (ITE code 150: 5
ADT/ 1,000 sq. ft. X 6). Building B is proposed at rougWy 3,800 square feet of office which
would generate 44 trips (ITE code 715: 11.57 ADT/ 1,000 sq. ft. X 3.8). Thus, the concept
plan's uses would generate 329 trips per day.
A by-right proposal might be an eating establishment. The County has suggested a restaurant
would be a desirable use. We believe a 3,500 square foot high quality eating establishment could
physically be accommodated on the site. A 3,500 square footage would generate 315 trips (ITE
code 715: 90 ADT/ 1,000 sq. ft. X 3.5).
Thus, the 14 extra trips generated by the concept plan are statically the same when compared to a
by-right office use. Therefore, we do not believe that this rezoning necessitates any off-site
improvements. Finally, by utilizing the existing Mc Donald's entrance, we are in keeping with
the access management strategy that has been employed in this area.
ARB Comments
We will submit for ARB review after Planning no longer opposes the use.
If you have any other comments or questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 906-2704.

Dear Mr. Barnes,
Thank you for your recent submittal of the rezoning application and special use permit
applications for Charlottesville Power Equipment at Free Bridge Road near routes 250

Work Sessions:
ZMA 2004-011 Charlottesville Power Equipment (SiQn #29 & 37) - Request to rezone 2,142 acres
from C-1 (Commercial) to HC (Highway Commercial) to allow a 12,000 square foot, two-story structure for
the Charlottesville Power Equipment Company and a second building of undetermined specifications.
The proposal includes requests for outdoor sales and display and fill in the floodplain (see SP-04-36 and
SP-04-37). The property, described as Tax Map 78, Parcel 4A 1, is located in the Rivanna Magisterial
District on the northwest corner of the intersection of Route 20 and Route 250 East behind McDonald's
Restaurant. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Regional Service, in Neighborhood
Three. (Tarpley Gillespie)
Ms. Gillespie summarized the staff report for ZMA 2004-11 Charlottesville Power Equipment. The
applicant, C. W Hurt Contractors, is seeking approval to rezone a 2.142 acre property from C-1
Commercial to HC Highway Commercial for the Charlottesville Power Equipment rental business, The
request also includes two special use permit applications: one request for fill in the floodplain and another
for outdoor sales and display, A critical slopes waiver will also be necessary with this proposal. The site
is located to just west of McDonalds off of Route 20 North in the Pantops Area.
The applicant requested this work session in response to staff's response to their first submittal. In the
first submission staff expressed some concern about the appropriateness of this use in this location with
the close proximity to Rivanna River and the planned
The proposed development would require a rezoning from C1 Commercial to HC Highway Commercial.
The C1 district does not allow machinery and equipment sales, service and rental. Therefore, the
applicants are seeking the more intense HC district. The development would also necessitate the two
special use permits mentioned above,
The applicant has requested this work session in response to staff comments received after their first
submission. With the first submission, staff expressed concern about the appropriateness of this land use
at this location, given the proximity to the Rivanna River and planned Greenbelt trail. The applicant has
responded by providing some additional information about the topography, proposed grading and how the
use will be screened from Free Bridge Lane, The applicant has also moved Building 2 from the east to
the west side of the site, allowing it to function as a visual screen between the greenway and power
equipment outdoor sales and display. He has also provided staff with some additional information about
the existing vegetation and how the existing topography would act as a visual screen.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property for Regional Service use in Neighborhood 3 (Pantops),
Regional Service uses generally include: "regional-scale commercial, regional malls, medical centers,
mixed use developments, hotel/motel/conference facilities, professional and corporate offices, interstate
interchange developments and uses providing retail, wholesale, business, and/or employment services to
Albemarle County and the region," The proposal for the sales and rental of power equipment and for an
office use would be generally consistent with the uses envisioned under this designation.
The Comprehensive Plan addresses the need to develop a greenway trail for both pedestrians and
bicyclists along the eastern edge of the Rivanna River, A Greenbelt Trail is planned for this segment of
the Rivanna corridor along Free Bridge Lane, The Neighborhood Three Study, which the Comprehensive
Plan references and looks to for guidance in the Neighborhood Three (Pantops) Development Area,
encourages "river oriented development." It suggests commercial facilities along the greenway be
designed to encourage utilization by trial users. Staff is concerned that approval of this rezoning will
result in a lost opportunity for such a river oriented development on this site. Because of this specific
recommendation in the Comprehensive Plan, staff is bringing this forward to the Commission for a work
session.

There has never been a development proposal for this property, However, the site plan for the adjacent .
McDonalds, located on Parcel 78-4A 1 shows an access easement from the McDonalds site onto this
property. The idea was for the site to be accessed via the McDonald's property.
In 2001, ZMA 2001-9 River's Edge Commercial Park was approved for a parcel north of this site fronting
along Free Bridge Lane. That rezoning allowed Parcel 78-58H to be developed comprehensively with
Parcel 78-58G, removing access from Free Bridge Lane and creating a new access from Route 20. All
of this goes towards a broader County vision to allow Free Bridge Lane to become part of the Greenbelt
system and possibly a lineal park by it being at a vehicular access point. This proposal would allow that
idea to continue down the way,
Staff has several questions that they would like the Planning Commission to address tonight. The
primary question relates to the land use that has been proposed on the site as it relates to the
Comprehensive Plan in the Neighborhood Three Section.
Questions for the Commission:
1. Is the proposed use appropriate at this location? Does the Planning Commission find that
this site should contain a use that is oriented towards the Greenbelt and River?
Staff believes that the use can be supported at this location even though the Comprehensive Plan
recommends a use oriented towards the Greenbelt and the river, The applicant asserts that this particular
site does not lend itself well to such a river oriented use, due to the physical constraints of this site, the
topography, the surrounding auto-oriented commercial uses along Route 250/20 corridor, and access
from McDonalds. Staff recognizes this point of view for this particular site. However, due to guidance
offered by the Neighborhood Three Study and past Planning Commission expressions of a desire for
appropriate uses along the Rivanna Greenway, staff and the applicant are seeking Planning Commission
guidance on this issue early in the rezoning process,
Staff recognizes that the applicant has made improvements to the proposal, such as the relocation of
Building 2 to the west to create a visual buffer from Free Bridge Lane, In light of the changes made and
information provided by the applicant in the recent submittal, staff agrees with the applicant's logic,
However, we recognize that approval of a rezoning to HC could result in a lost opportunity for a more
appropriate development on this site.
The single access to the site is through McDonalds, The McDonalds site plan was approved with an
access easement to this site, In concept, staff supports taking the access through McDonalds, which will
allow the future possibility of Free Bridge Lane becoming a linear park or non-vehicular trail. Further
analysis of the access will be necessary. Staff will continue to evaluate the access issues as the
applicant provides more detailed information about types of vehicles and deliveries that will be generated
by this use.
The applicant would like the Commission's guidance as well before he provides the additional information
requested since it requires specific engineering information that requires a little bit more of an investment
on his part. Staff will conduct further analysis of the site such as the access issues relating to the specific
use from that access easement once the additional information is provided.
2. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Outdoor Storage and Display"
is appropriate at this site, given its location near the Route 250 Entrance Corridor and the
Rivanna Greenway?
Given the location of this site the way it is tucked in between the existing buildings, it is shielded from
Free Bridge Lane and it is also subject to ARB review, staff feels that the special use permit could
probably be dealt with and it could be an appropriate request. Staff generally believes that the outdoor
display and storage aspect of the use can be mitigated and that the display is appropriate for this site.
The applicant asserts that the visual impacts of the outdoor storage and display can be mitigated through
screening and building placement and working with the natural topography of the site. The cross sections
provided by the applicant show that there will be a 100 foot vegetated buffer between Free Bridge Lane
and the developed portion of this site, This buffer area contains existing vegetation, including trees.

Replanting of some areas will be necessary after construction of this project. There will be a 24 foot drop
in elevation between the site and Free Bridge Lane. Staff can support the request but asks for
Commission comments. Are there issues or concerns related to the request for Outdoor Sales and
Display that staff should be aware of as we proceed with the review of this proposal?
3. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Fill in the Floodplain" at this
site is appropriate to support a development such as the one proposed?
Staff has really not conducted an analysis of the request for "Fill in the Floodplain". Staff does not have
sufficient information to assess the impacts of fill in the floodplain at this time. The proposal does not
include any building construction within the floodplain. The proposal, would however, require fill impacts
to extend 10 to 20 feet into the floodplain. The fill in the floodplain is necessitated by grading to prepare
the site for development. There will also be disturbance of critical slopes, All of the disturbed critical
slopes appear to be manmade. At this point, limited information has been provided relating to fill in the
floodplain. Further review of the Fill in the Floodplain will be conducted by County staff after the work
session, when more detailed information is provided. The applicant has stated that further engineering
information will be provided relating to fill in the floodplain will be provided after the Planning Commission
has had the opportunity to provide guidance on the proposed land use. The primary purpose of this work
session is to seek guidance on the Land Use question. Are there any issues or questions related to the
fill in the floodplain request that need to be considered during the staff review?
In summary, the applicant and staff are seeking the Planning Commission's guidance on the proposed
land use, Once the Commission has weighed in on the land use question, then the applicant will provide
more detailed engineering information and the staff will conduct a more complete analysis of the specifics
of the development proposal.
Mr. Thomas asked if there were any questions for staff,
Mr. Rieley stated that staff had made the determination that this is an appropriate location for the
proposed use including outdoor display. He asked what led staff to that conclusion.
Ms, Gillespie stated that it may be premature to say that staff has made that conclusion. Staff has come
to the Commission on that issue. Staff is inclined to understand the applicant's point of view, and feels
that his submittal has addressed some of the concerns related to visibility of the site, However, staff
realizes that approval of this rezoning would forever eradicate the possibility of that river oriented use that
is recommended in the Comprehensive Plan, Therefore, it is premature for staff to make any conclusions
at this point.
Mr. Thomas asked what "river use" means.
Ms. Higgins pointed out that there was a road in between the use and the river.
Ms. Gillespie stated that language was pretty general, but talks about encouraging trail users to partake in
that use, which could probably be any number of commercial uses. It does talk about the interaction
between the trail user and the use.
Mr. Thomas asked if there was going to be a trail on the north side of the road.
Ms. Gillespie stated that the long term vision is to orient all of the uses to provide access to other than
Free Bridge Lane and to allow Free Bridge Lane to become a linear greenway park/trail.
Ms. Joseph asked if staff was saying that Free Bridge Lane was eventually going to become a walking
path and would not be a road any more,
Ms, Gillespie stated that was a long range goal of the County as she understands it.
Ms, Higgins asked if Free Bridge Lane was a State maintained road,
Mr. Cilimberg stated that it was.

Ms. Joseph asked if staff has done any type of analysis on what is allowed in C-1, what they can do right
now, the additional uses in Highway Commercial and whether there would be some uses that you think
would be inappropriate for this particular location.
Ms. Gillespie stated that staff has had a cursory look at that and would anticipate that some of the most
intense uses would possibly be inappropriate uses in HC and would be proffered out of the application,
Staff has not had that conversation with the applicant at this point.
Ms. Joseph stated that once Highway Commercial zoning was approved the use could be anything on
this list.
Mr. Thomas stated that the Commission would discuss each of the questions posed by staff to try to
reach a general consensus. (See summary at end of request)
Mr. Thomas asked if there were any other comments. At this time he invited the applicant to come up for
a discussion.
Michael Barnes, representative for C,W. Hurt Contractors, stated that Tim Carlson, one of the clients on
this property, was here to answer any questions about the business itself that the Commission might
have. He stated that it was interesting hearing the conversation go on here and think about all the hours
that they have sat thinking about how to design the site, He pointed out that they have been sensitive to
every concern that has been brought up here. It is a tough site in itself to try and achieve, He stated that
maybe they have not achieved everything as well as potentially they could have, but he would like to go
through and explain how they have tried to get to those concerns. What he was hearing from the Planning
Commission is that the use itself is not that much different than a C-1 type use, The reason that they have
to rezone is because farm equipment sales cannot be done in a C-1 area, even though other types of
machinery can, Farm sales and equipment is the category that their proposed use is being put into. As
they go through the process, they are cognitive to the greenway trail. Virginia Land Company has been
working with the greenway trail along the Rivanna by providing easements between State Farm and the
Advanced Auto. They have worked with Dan Mahon on parking issues next to Free Bridge with the
Shenandoah Coffee Shop. They have worked on the adjacent property, River's Edge, to restrict access
to Free Bridge Lane. The thought was that eventually Free Bridge Lane would eventually become a part
of a greenway trail system, Virginia Land Company owns one-half of the prescriptive easement. They
would be willing to provide one-half of that easement to the County if the road itself would revert back
from VDOT status to be a non-public road. It is his understanding that would mean that the prescriptive
easement would no longer be for a right-of-way, They would be willing to proffer that as part of this
rezoning to be a part of the greenways system, He stated that they would be willing to work to be a part
of the river or not to be a part of the river, Unfortunately what they were not seeing here was the second
page, which was one of the principal things they were trying to bring to the Commission tonight. He asked
that the Commission look at the second page, What they tried to show here was that they were trying to
work with the grade with the bi-Ievel building that was previously discussed. As they build in to the site
they were trying to take advantage of two things, First, the flood plain extends 50 to 80 feet into the site,
which precludes putting a building up to the road or to front the river, Secondly, they have an elevation
difference of 20+ feet. The building would actually be sitting on a site above the river and they were trying
to use the difference in elevation to their advantage. They would be looking up into their site using that
parking lot so that the building would not be as visible. They were also willing to retain the vegetation that
is along the site. The idea in this case is to either embrace the river by bringing the buildings down to the
road or down to the river. They might be putting a use there that might be objectionable, but they would
try to screen it to the best extent possible. He pointed out that they have chosen the latter route. The
outside display would be limited. The applicant would sell lawn mowers, which would stay on the
sidewalk in front of the building, Regarding the fill in the floodplain next to building 2 and 1, they have
tried to step those buildings down the slope, They would only encroach 10 feet into the floodplain. The
floodplain is about 150 feet wide there. The larger area of impact would be in the northeastern quadrant
of the site where their access easement comes in. That could be handled by retaining walls. That was
shown the first time with retaining walls, which were about 8 feet tall. That kept them more or less out of
the floodplain. They have used the floodplain data to try to incorporate that. That area would have about
25 feet encroachment into the floodplain, which was farther away from the river itself on the extremities of
the floodplain fringe, Finally, as far as the storm water management, they were trying to keep that away

from the river, They have not designed that yet. They are thinking about using similar technology that
has been used on adjacent sites. It would probably be a bio-filter down at the bottom, It is his
understanding, even though it does not create a net fill because they are actually digging out to create the
berm and the bio-filter area, that it would still require a fill in the floodplain permit. He asked how they
could relate back to the Entrance Corridor. The parking is in the middle of all of these buildings. He
questioned how to relegate it from the river and the Entrance Corridor, since it was somewhat sitting
behind those buildings, It is a very tight site and they have worked with several different orientations of it,
but they were trying to achieve the best possible orientation that they can and believe that they have done
that.
Mr. Rieley stated that clearly if he had heard their comments that the Commission did not agree with him.
He suggested that the applicant review the Commission's earlier comments and bring back something
that addresses those concerns,
Mr. Barnes stated that it was not his intention to ignore their comments. He pointed out that the one thing
that the staff report does not stress is the elevation difference, There is a difference of 24 feet plus
between the bottom of the building and the road. That is a significant elevation difference. He stated that
clarification from the Commission on how to best use that to their advantage and meet that river
orientation may be what the applicant needs,
Ms. Joseph asked that the applicant take a look at the building and try to make it friendlier towards the
river instead of being sort of the back end of the building, She felt that they all agree that there is a grade
change there, She suggested that there might be something that was a little bit separate from the other
equipment. This could be done using some design techniques to make that a separate entity from the
other building. It could be something that could orient itself to some sort of river use, She suggested that
the applicant look at Tim Miller's building design.
Ms, Higgins stated that generally this is a concept plan and that it can be tweaked. But, the larger
building using the critical slope does overlay a significant portion of the critical slopes. There are not many
ways that they could do this. The ARB would have to review this request and provide comments. The .
concerns that need to be addressed include:
.
· The building looks like one-story from their viewpoint.
· The mass of it is down the hill and that the parking is between buildings. She preferred seeing
the parking between the buildings rather than oriented towards the river.
She recognized that he kept within the limits of the floodplain on everything related to the buildings. But,
the travel way coming in is in the floodplain fill. Personally, she did not favor building a retaining wall
there to avoid a special use permit for filling in a floodplain after they had mitigated the effects on the
flood elevation. She felt that those walking along the river looking at Advanced Auto would not get any
good feeling, particularly looking across the river at a large brick wall. She was not vesting in that and
would prefer to see something that is landscaped, A retaining wall could possibly be put in to fix that, but
the entrance seems to be fixed by the McDonald's entrance. The site is a challenge, When the applicant
gets into engineering this site in great detail they would probably find some things that were difficult to do
with the turning radiuses and that sort of things.
Mr. Barnes stated that the first plan that they brought in was truly a concept plan, This is actually an
engineered plan and hopefully everything works on the site as far as grades, turning radiuses and what
have you. Both buildings were two-story buildings, which was the whole intent of this. The applicant is
trying to have a repair area, which is what is accessed from the lower side
Mr. Rieley stated that he hoped that the applicant would listen to the Planning Commission in that this
plan is not saleable and needs to be fixed to address the Commission's previously expressed concerns.
Mr. Thomas asked staff if she had enough information,
Ms. Gillespie stated that she had enough information from the Commission,
In summary, the Planning Commission held a work session on ZMA-2004-011, Charlottesville Power
Equipment to rezone 2,142 acres from C-1 (Commercial) to HC (Highway Commercial) to allow a 12,000 .
square foot, two-story structure for the Charlottesville Power Equipment Company and a second building It
of undetermined specifications. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed land use and asked

the applicant to go back and work on the plans and consider their comments and suggestions, The
Planning Commission made the following comments and suggestions regarding staff's questions raised in
the staff report.
1. Is the proposed use appropriate at this location? Does the Planninq Commission find that
this site should contain a use that is oriented towards the Greenbelt and River?
· It was not really so much whether this use is appropriate or not, but it is more about how the
buildings are oriented for the use based on some of the topography and how it flows down to
the river,
2. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Outdoor Storage and Disp/av"
is appropriate at this site. given its location near the Route 250 Entrance Corridor and the
Rivanna Greenwav?
· It was the consensus of the Commission that the proposed use would be appropriate at this
location depending on the design.
· Mr. Rieley stated that the Commission's perspective may be different than the ARB's
because their point of view is the Entrance Corridor and the ARB's may be from the river and
other places.
3. Does the Planning Commission believe that the request for "Fill in the Floodplain" at this
site is appropriate to support a development such as the one proposed?
· It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the design should be more responsive to
the floodplain. The Commission did not have the engineering information to know how much
area will be filled, but they indicated that the applicant should be very cautious about filling in the
floodplain.
· Mr. Thomas asked if the Commission feels that the request for fill in the floodplain at this site is
appropriate to support the development that is being proposed, The basis question is if they think
this is the proper use for the infill in the floodplain.
o The Planning Commission asked staff to look at the new FEMA maps, which will be in
effect in February, to determine the fringe and buffer area towards the flOOdplain.
o It should be demonstrated that it is absolutely minimized and whatever redesign is done
to this to make it a more sympathetic fit in that setting to take into account the fact that fill
in the floodplain should absolutely be minimized.
o The Commission should be very cautious about allowing fill in the floodplain. There has
not been enough engineering to really identify how much area would be filled.
o The concern was expressed that it appeared that the critical slope was caused by the
previous development on the McDonald's site, which was man made critical slope. The
larger building was setting right in the middle of the critical slopes on the site. The
Commission was not opposed to the use, but would like to see a realignment that might
be more respectful of the critical slopes than what this particular layout shows.
o In general consensus the Planning Commission agreed with the general principle that
utilizing buildings to take up critical slopes is often a very sensible thing to do.

Introduction
Transportation is one of the most important services provided by government. Transportation
links people to their jobs, schools, shopping, community activities, and entertainment. The
County strives to create an efficient and affordable system that offers travel choices that are
functional and will minimize harm to the community and natural environment.
There is a distinct and mutually dependent relationship between transportation and land use. Land
use decisions affect existing transportation networks and future transportation needs. Conversely,
the existing and planned transportation network/system affect most land use decisions. There is
also a regional context to transportation issues which goes beyond local interest. While land use
plans and decisions are made in the context of governmental boundaries, transportation needs and
networks cross those jurisdictional boundaries. Careful coordination of transportation planning
with land use planning at a state, regional, and local level is essential.
Transportation facilities include state primary and secondary roads, public transportation services
and facilities, intra-and inter-regional air, rail, bus, and trucking (freight) facilities and services, as
well as walkways, aOO bikeways, and green ways.

.
General Principles for Transportation
The following principles provide guidance for transportation related decisions. The principles
establish the overall focus and vision for transportation in the County. These principles: 1) reflect
the need for transportation related decisions to be consistent with and support the County's
growth management policy; and, 2) recognize the regional efforts in transportation planning
established by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Charlottesville ,\rea
Transportation Study (CATS) Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. In order to
develop effective regional solutions, the ('nited Jejlerson Area IHobili~l' Plan (UnJAM 2025)
combines the Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Transportation (CHART) Plan for the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) area with the Rural Area Tramportation Long-
Range Plan, for the .five-COlll1~l' Thomas Je.fJerson Planning District (Velson, Louisa,
Fhll'anna, Greene, Albemarle). While the study area for C^.TS CH/.RT does not cover the
entire County, the overall policies established in C\ TS CH,^.RT are considered appropriate for
county '.'vide transportation planning.
.
General Principles:
1. Plan, establish, and maintain a comprehensive County transportation system which
supports the growth management policy and provides for necessary public safety.
2. Establish a transportation system that supports the preservation and enhancement of
land use and environmental preservation goals, and that facilities are developed and
built in a manner sensitive to the environment.
3. Encourage (1) the reduction of traffic congestion, pollution and energy consumption,
vehicular miles traveled and (2) increased mobility of the general public, especially,
handicapped and the disadvantaged, through the increased use ofpublic transportation,
car/vanpooling and park and ride lots.
4. Support regional transportation planning efforts by utilizing the policies of the CHART
Plan as the transportation principles for the County. They are as follows:
The overarching goal of the UnJam 2025 is to create a balanced, multi-modal transportation
network, by A) Improving connections throughout the region; B) Improving mobility within
neighborhoods, towns, and counties; and C) Making transportation choices which help foster
livable communities. Several major factors are required to achieve these goals:
.
Completion of a well-connected network of roadways parallel to major highways, with
better connections within and between neighborhoods
.
Re-engineered intersection and corridor design, along with added lanes and capacity
improvements, to improve operational efficiency and safety
.
Fast, frequent, dependable transit service with seamless connections throughout the
region
.

. A terrain-modified grid of smaller streets serving more compact development forms in
the suburban and rural developments
.
. Well-executed design details for pedestrian-friendly streets, bike lanes and trails, transit
stops, safer intersections and pedestrian crossings
. Improve connection and travel throughout the region
. Improve mobility within neighborhoods,
. Make transportation choices which help foster livable communities.
3. Provide for a vlell planned, safe and convenient road\vay system which supports the Land
use Plan and other transportation objectives, and is consistent 'Nith goals and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan.
All of these elements will also help complete the transit "customer delivery system" needed for
efficient, cost-effective transit operations. By building new critical facilities and re-engineering
existing roadways, the Plan will improve system operations and safety. In addition, the Plan
will increase mobility of the general public, especially the elderly, handicapped, and
disadvantaged, through the increased use of public transportation, car/van pooling, park and ride
lots, and through the integration and coordination of existing and future transit services
.
l. Support regional transportation planning efforts by utilizing the policies of the
Charlottesville Area Transportation Study (CATS) as transportation principles for the
County. They are as follo\ys:
(Overall) The Charlottesville l\lbemarle metropolitan area transportation system
will provide an appropriate blend of transportation alternatives to support the
movement of people, goods, services and information in the most efficient and
effective manner possible, addressing regional and statewide transportation needs
in a manner consistent with local goals to maintain and enhance quality of life.
(Environment) The transportation system will support preservation and
enhancement of the natural environment through t\\'o major objectives:
(a) integrate and promote alternatives to the automobile; and (b) ensure
transportation plans are consistent with local land use and environmental
preservation goals, and that facilities are developed and built in a manner
sensitive to the environment.
(Economy) The Charlottesville Albemarle metropolitan area transportation system
""ill support and enhance a vital local and regional economy.

Transportation Planning
.
Transportation planning and policy development occur at the state, regional and local levels.
State
The Commonwealth of Virginia, through several state agencies, develops plans for a wide range
of transportation facilities and services. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
develops the Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan long range State'side Highway Plan
and six year construction improvement plans for urban, interstate, primary, and secondary roads.
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation develops the state rail plan and is
responsible for public transportation planning. The Department of Aviation develops individual
airport master plans and the Virginia Air Transportation Systems Plan. The Virginia Port
Authority is responsible for developing public port and waterway plans.
Regional
The amended Federal Highway Act of 1962 established that federal, state, and local officials
create a cooperative, continuing, and comprehensive transportation planning process for urban
areas, This process must conform to objectives stated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. .
In Charlottesville and Albemarle County the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was
formed in response to this requirement. The MPO is the primary planning body responsible for
regional transportation planning. Both localities, along with the University of Virginia, are
represented in this process by appointees of the governing bodies. Two committees of the MPO,
the Technical Committee and the Policy Board, are responsible for insuring that the planning
process is carried out in a cooperative, comprehensive and on-going manner, and in conformity
with federal and state guidelines, CHART and the Rural Areas Long Range Plan make up what
is known as UnJAM 2025 Plans. Albemarle County staff and elected and appointed officials
are represented on both of these committees and participated with the compilation of these
documents.
Urban Area Transportation Planning
The regional transportation planning document for the MPO area is the "Charlottesville .'\rea
Transportation Study, Year 2000 Transportation Plan (Cl.TS)" CHART Plan. This It is the lead
document for regional transportation planning for the City and County urbanized area (see Map
N) and is used as a general guide for planning future transportation improvements in the County,
providing J.t.-is a comprehensive approach to the Urban Area's transportation problems. It
addresses all modes of travel including highways, public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle
access. The study contains By using inventories, data, and analyses, of the transportation system
and makes the study makes recommendations for providing and maintaining an adequate
transportation system. The MPO is the acting policy and decision-making body for the G-A--l=8

.
CHART Plan. This study 'Nas originally completed in ] 98] and adopted by the MPO in ] 985.
The 20] 5 CATS is currently being updated. The "c,,\ TS CH,^.R T 20] 5" Qualitative ,^.nalysis was
completed in December 1991. This section is the first phase of the Cf. TS update and establishes
the region's transportation policies and objectives. Phase h'.'o of the update is the quantitative
analysis of the transportation net'Nork/system and will provide recommendations for
improvements for the area. This phase is expected to be completed and adopted by the Fall of
+99+-: The GA+S CHART Plan covers only the urbanized area of the County, not the entire
County (see Map N).
Rural Area Transportation Long Range Planning
The County is also involved in a regional transportation planning effort covering areas of the
County outside the MPO Study area, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson Counties. The
Rural Area Transportation Long Range Plan process complements MPO level planning efforts
and establishes a regional transportation planning process to address broader regional and
rural issues. This Plan identifies a larger transportation system/network framework within the
Planning District area. The Plan is generally reflective of and consistent with County
principles and goalfor transportation planning for the Rural Areas.
The major transportation goals for Albemarle County's rural areas are to preserve rural
character while improving safety and multi-modal transportation choices. Residents suggested
leaving the rural roads as they are whenever possible, focusing on road safety improvements
such as shoulders and guardrails, straightening curves, and increased regular maintenance,
rather than paving and widening rural roads. Road improvements should support intended
growth, as indicated in the County Comprehensive Plan, and not encourage growth outside of
designated development areas, as well as provide access from farms to markets along strategic
routes. Rural roads have multiple purposes and benefit from design that keeps drivers alert
and moving at appropriate speeds to react safely to slower moving farm equipment, bicyclists,
people checking the mail, or children walking to a bus stop. The County has adopted a policy to
address private citizens that wish to utilize their own resources to pave public roads. This policy
is located in the Albemarle County Department of Community Development.
The Rural Areas Section Of the Comprehensive Plan addresses land use and transportation
issues in more depth. Rural transportation is being addressed in this section to identify the
regional effort undertaken with the Rural Area Transportation Long Range Plan.
County
The primary components of the County transportation planning efforts are the Comprehensive
Plan, UnJAM 2025 Plan, the Six Year Primary and Secondary Road Plan Project Priority Lists,
the County Capital Improvement Plan rCIP), and cooperative planning and study efforts with
the state, MPO, and T JPDC.
An important role of the County In road planning and development is to ensure that VDOT
6
projects and private sector development proposals adhere to the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan, GA-+8 CHAR T Plan and other County and MPO adopted transportation
studies. These studies include:
. Transportation Systems Management (TSM)/Functional Classification Study
. Route 29 Crossover Study
. Route 29 Pedestrian Study Pedestrian Obstacle Study
. Ivy Road Corridor Study
. Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
. Southern Charlottesville Transportation Study and Entrance Corridor Study
and the transportation recommendations from adopted neighborhood plans and "JAsea B"
studies
. Crozet Master Plan
. The TSMlFunctional Classification Study also includes vital information on road
characteristics and design, Ho'.vever, it only covers major public roads in the urbanized
area. Information on road characteristics and design should be compiled for all major
public roads in the County.
Neighborhood Model:
Planning for transportation should consider and incorporate the principles and
recommendations of the County's Neighborhood Model. The Neighborhood Model describes
the more "urban" form of development desired for the Development Areas. The Neighborhood
Model supports convenient routes for pedestrians, bicyclists, buses and other transit including
light rail that will augment the street network. Public transit stops will be located within each
Development Area. Walking to them will be safe and convenient.
The Neighborhood Model establishes the 12 Principles for Development that should be adhered
to in new development proposals.
These principles are:
. Pedestrian Orientation
. Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths
. Transportation Networks and Interconnected Streets
. Parks and Open Space
. Mixed Uses
. Neighborhood Centers
. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale
. Relegated Parking
. Affordability with Dignity
. Redevelopment
. Site Planning that Respects Terrain
. Clear Boundaries with the Rural Areas
A more specific discussion of the Neighborhood Model Principles can befound on pages 9-11,

Recommendations
· Recognize the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) as the transportation planning body for the region. The MPO, with the
assistance of designated staff, should take the lead role in:
Planning for the coordinated delivery of transportation services by public
and private providers.
Identifying and recommending to Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and
the University of Virginia, administrative and operational activities which
can be appropriately coordinated or centralized among service providers.
Continuing the implementation and monitoring of its "Charlottesville-
Albemarle MPO Private Sector Participation Policy Process." Adopted
May, 1986; Revision Approved March, 2002. This document is available
at Albemarle County Department of Community Development and the
Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. The Planning District
Commission updates this document on an as needed basis.
Reviewing all service proposals and developing a procedure for identifying
public transportation service demand and-identifying appropriate service
providers.
Support the MPO's planning function through the following efforts:
.
Take formal action on MPO recommendations.
Review its adopted studies and, where appropriate, consider them for
adoption into the Comprehensive Plan.
;\bide by the adopted "Private Sector Process."
Use the MPO recommendations for identifying public transportation
service demands and appropriate service providers to develop criteria for
increasing service frequency, additional or expanding service, and
identifying service providers. Continue to participate in the MPO as an
active member.
Update the Transportation Systems Management/Functional Classification Study
to include major roads in the County outside the CATS study area.
.
Adhere to and implement Neighborhood Model Principles in transportation
planning.
Make all residential and commercial development as transit -ready and transit-
worthy as possible
.
8
Streets and Roads
.
The development and maintenance of an efficient and safe road system is critical to influencing
the location of future residential development and economic activity while also accommodating
existing needs. Planning for roadway improvements is a complex procedure due to fragmented
and limited funding sources. In addition, the ultimate responsibility for construction and
maintenance of roadways in the County lies with the State, through the Virginia Department of
Transportation: there are no County maintained public roads.
All County roads are categorized either as interstate, primary or a secondary. Interstate highways
are the highest level of functional road and are part of a national system of freeways and
expressways, providing long distance traffic, high speed and limited access connections. Interstate
64 traverses the County and connects the Charlottesville-A]bemarle County area to major north-
south interstates (1-81 and 1-95) and the Richmond and Norfolk metropolitan areas. The total
length of Interstate 64 in the County is approximately 31 miles,
The Primary System consists of arterial roads. From the state level planning perspective, the
primary purpose of these roads is to move traffic; access to properties is considered a lower
function/priority. Primary roads are those principle arteria] designed for the purpose of moving
traffic, and not necessarily designed to provide access to properties. There are 115 miles of
primary roads in the County, including the following:
Route 53
Route 231
Route 29
Route 6
Route 22
Route 250
Route 20
Route 240
Route 151
.
All of these primary roads are designated as Entrance Corridor routes, providing provides
access to the City and County's historic districts and properties. Therefore, these roads are
important not only for the transportation function, but also for scenic and visual character.
The majority of roads in A]bemar]e County are secondary roads. As of January 1991, December
31, 2000 there were +7+-818.07 miles of secondary roads in the County. Of this, MG 587.53
~ (72%) were hard surfaced and 230 miles ~ (28%) were gravel roads.
Major Corridors
The County has three major corridors that present particular transportation concerns. These
corridors are Route 29 North, Route 250 East, and Route 250 West.
Route 29 North
Route 29 North is the major north-south arterial road through the County, and a major state
9
.
.
.
.
arterial which links Washington, D.C., Charlottesville, Lynchburg and, Danville. Route 29 north
of Charlottesville is the major commercial corridor in the County. lt was recently widened to
eight lanes from Hydraulic Road (Route 713) to the South Fork Rivanna River. Route 29 is
scheduled proposed to be '.videned to six lanes upgraded from the South Fork of the Rivanna
River to Airport Road (Route 649). However, plans have not been developed or scheduled for
construction by VDOT. VDOT has conducted a major study of the Route 29 Corridor from
Albemarle County (from the South Fork Rivanna River) to Warrenton, Virginia. The purpose of
the transportation analysis was to determine the future level of travel demand along the corridor
and to assess whether the highway is designed adequately to accommodate projected traffic
volumes. Final recommendations of this study have been completed and forwarded to the
Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). The CTB is deferring action on these
recommendations until the entire Route 29 corridor through Virginia has been completed,
In early 2003 a staff team from the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission &
Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO, VDOT, City of Charlottesville, and Albemarle County
conducted the 29H250 Study. The purpose of the study was to develop specific intersection
design concepts that address vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit movement for improved
mobility, safety, and development opportunities within the Route 29/Hydraulic/250 Bypass
area, while protecting existing tax base, business, neighborhoods, and employment. This study
was considered the first component of an ultimate study including the full length of Route 29 in
the County. This initial study has been completed and adopted by the MPO, City and County as
the guiding plan for improvements to Route 29 in the area.
The major traffic improvement recommendations include a grade-separated interchange at
Route 29 and Hydraulic Road, constructed with roundabouts at the end of the off-ramps for
optimum traffic controls. Signalized intersections could also work. A new Hydraulic Road
alignment is proposed just north of existing Hydraulic Road to allow full traffic movement
during construction.
The County is currently undertaking a Master Planning process (Places29) for the Northern
Development Areas along the Route 29 corridor (Neighborhood 1 and 2, Hollymead, and Piney
Mountain). The Places29 study includes a major transportation planning component which
will not only complete the "29H250" study process for Route 29 north, but will establish
recommendation for overall road network serving the Northern Development Areas. This
unified land use and transportation study will be completed within the next 2 years (2007).
U.S. Route 29 Corridor Development Study
The U.S. Route 29 Corridor Development Study (Phases I Albemarle County to Fauquier
County) The goals of this Study are to create a unified multi-modal transportation system of
air, rail, transit, and highways, improve energy efficiency, promote economic development, and
improve quality of life. The Study reviewed all relevant elements of the federal legislation
including an extensive public participation process. It addressed land use planning, advanced
acquisition and preservation of right of way, and overall social, economic, and environmental
effects. The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors supports the use if access management
techniques as the principle means of controlling traffic on this corridor of Rt. 29.
10
U.S. Route 29 Corridor Development Study (combined Phases lInlI N.C. to Charlottesville) This
study resulted in a long-range multi-modal plan for transportation in the corridor and will .
assistance state and local governments in prioritizing transportation projects, identifying and
requesting funding, and planning the location of various land uses and public facilities. The area
along this section of the Corridor Study is not in the County's Development area and the County
did not support any of VDOT's widening recommendations. On February 14,2001, the Albemarle
County Board of Supervisor endorsed a resolution that expanded their position, which includes:
Almost all of the area along the Rt. 29 South Corridor is not in the County's Development area.
Data developed by the consultant and verified by the County does not project significant
development in this area of the County through the study period. Therefore, the County does not
believe controlled access through elimination of all individual access points and an extensive
system of service roads and signalized intersections should be assumed as necessary for Albemarle
County. The County does support the coordination of land use planning and transportation system
planning through specifically incorporating the access management recommendations of the
Phase I Corridor Study into the planning for the Route 29 South corridor in Albemarle and
throughout the study area. Albemarle County believes that access management planning is a
logical and viable recommendation for the Route 29 corridor south of Charlottesville. Through
proper planning that balances land use and transportation priorities in the particular sections of
the corridor in the County, appropriate access management measures can be identified and
pursued
Use the "Parkway" design cross-section in Albemarle County, without service roads and limited
access should be used in Albemarle County. Under no scenario should the "Freeway" design
concept be used in Albemarle County. Furthermore, it is not anticipated that signalization of .
intersections will be necessary in Albemarle County, but in no case is reservation for interchanges at
any Albemarle County intersections necessary. The full study with recommendations is available at
the Department of Community Development.
Route 250 East
Significant commercial development exists along Route 250 East and 'Nest, mostly within the
designated Development Areas. Route 250 East was recently improved to four lanes from the
city/county line to Interstate 61 (Exit 121 Shad\vell). This area is already experiencing mtkl
congestion. during peak hours. There are no other improvements planned for this area in the near
future. Staff and VDOT have considered the impact that ne'.'l" development will have on Route
250, Route 250 East, east of the Interstate 61 interchange, e)(periences increasingly heavy
congestion during peak hours. Therefore, this area has been recommended for further study to
address this issue.
The County is currently conducting a Master Plan for the Pantops Development Area. This
study should be completed by 2006. This study will identify land use and transportation
recommendations that will guide the growth of the Pantops area. A separate study will evaluate
the feasibility of an Eastern Connector. The Eastern Connector is identified in the UnJAM
20205 Plan to be studied to determine it potential impact to analysis the traffic on the Route
250 East and Route 29 north corridors.
11
.
.
In 1999, VDOT conducted the Route 250 East Corridor Study. The purpose of the study was to
examine existing and future travel conditions within the corridor in order to identify
transportation deficiencies. The Route 250 East Corridor Study area begins at the east
corporate limits of Charlottesville and ends approximately three-tenths of a mile east of Route
15 at Zion Crossroads in Louisa County. A conceptual multi-modal transportation plan to
address these deficiencies will result from the study.
The study recommended a series of short term and long term recommendations. The Study's
recommendations will be considered in conjunction with the Pantops Master Plan process.
Both residential and commercial development exists along Route 250 \Vest. There are numerous
residences, banks, restaurants, commercial establishments and business/employment centers from
Emmett Street to beyond the Ednam/Farmington area. Route 250 'Vest pro':ides important access
to the University as \vell as the Community of Crozet and the Ivy area. 'Nithin the Emmett Street
to Route 29 Bypass area, the vehicular traffic often conflicts \vith pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
The University of Virginia, 'lOOT, the City of Charlottesville, and the County completed.
"The Ivy Road Design Study" to address the vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle needs of the
community, Some of the recommendations of this study are for funding in the Capital
Improvements Program. 'lOOT is currently coordinating a study of Route 250 East from Free
Bridge to the Flu'.'anna County line and Route 250 West from the Route 29/250 bypass to Yancey
Mill-s-,
. Route 250 West
In thefall of 1997, VDOT initiated the Route 250 West Corridor Study to produce a long-range
planning study with conceptual engineering plans. The Route 250 West Corridor Study may be
used to assist VDOT and Albemarle in preserving rights-ol-way to accommodate future
transportation needs in the corridor. The subject of the study was the segment of Route 250 in
between 1-64 (Exit 107 Yancey Mills) and the west corporate limits of Charlottesville.
The study recommended a series of short term and long term recommendations (the Route 250
West Corridor Study is on file in the Albemarle County Department of Community
Development Department). A controversial long term recommendation was to widen Route 250
from the City limits to Mechums River. The Citizens Advisory Committee and the Board of
Supervisors opposed VDOT's recommendations for Route 250 West. The Citizen Advisory
Committee and the Board of Supervisors supported maintaining Route 250 West with its
present roadway cross section. The Board also created the Route 250 Task Force, which is a
standing committee charged to review and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors
with regard to all transportation improvements on the Route 250 West corridor (Route 250
Bypass to the Yancey Mill interchange). The Task Force will review each proposal prior to
approval.
.
It should be recognized that Route 29 North, Route 250 East, and Route 250 West provide both
access for inter-regional travel and access for the major commercial and residential areas of the
Urban Area and City. Road improvements should be designed to accommodate anticipated traffic
12
demands and present capacity should be utilized to the greatest extent possible.

Meadow Creek Parkway .
The Meadow Creek Parkway, from the intersection of McIntire Road and the Route 250 Bypass
in the City of Charlottesville to Rio Road at Norfolk Southern Railroad will provide new north-
south route connection from the County northern urban area to downtown Charlottesville. The
new road will also provide an alternative to Rio Road and Park Street. Route 29 North in
Hollymead will pro'.'ide a north south road connecting the Hollymead Community, Urban ,^.rea
and City and will provide an essential alternative north south road to Route 29 needed to
accommodate anticipated traffic.
The Meadow Creek Parkway Final Report, May 2001, by lones and lones Consultants,
establishes an alignment location and design standards for the development of Phase I of the
Parkway in the County, from Melbourne Road to the railroad bridge on Rio Road. This report can
be found under separate cover. In summary, the study calls for a two-lane road constructed on
sufficient right-of-way to allow for its upgrade to a four-lane road, if necessary. The proposed
design calls for a parkway concept, which includes pedestrian and bicycle facilities, landscaping
and an adjacent linear park. The linear park will provide an open space and recreational benefit to
the community and will serve to connect McIntire Park, Greenbrier Park, the City/County
greenway along Meadow Creek, with additional linkages, to Pen Park, Charlottesville High
School, CA TEC and Charlottesville Catholic School. The proposed road alignment and design in
the Meadow Creek Parkway Final Report are consistent with the alignment and design for the
City portion of the road.
The second phase of the project, from Rio Road to Route 29 in Hollymead, should continue the .
parlC'.vay design concepts of phase I, including road corridor landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle
facilities and linear park/open areas to the extent feasible. Phase II is intended to be designed to
have three intermediate points of access; one between Rio Road and The Rivanna River and two
between the River and Route 29 (at Route 613 and for undeveloped land between Route 613 and
Route 29).
Northern Free State Road
The Northern Free State Road was formerly referred to as the Meadow Creek Parkway Phase
II. The UnJAM 20205 Plan Study recommends that this road be studied in conjunction with
the Eastern Connector, based on changes in development patterns and proposed projects in the
northern area. It is assumed that portions of the roadway will be built by private developers,
and that the character of the roadway may change within and between neighborhoods.
This road will be considered with the Route 29 Corridor Transportation Study (29H250) Master
Planning process and with the Northern Development Areas (Places29) now underway. This
road will provide acess to existing neighborhoods and areas of development north of Rio Road
and potentially connect Urban Area to the Hollymead Community and Route 29.
Hillsdale Drive Extended
The Hillsdale Drive Extended will connect existing Hillsdale Drive from its terminus at
Greenbrier to Hydraulic Road, creating a parallel roadway east of Route 29. This roadway will
create an efficient alternate route for many residents, allowing them easier direct access to .
15
.
.
.
work, shopping, schools, and community facilities without having to travel on the Route 29
corridor.
Southern Parkwav
The Southern Parkway will connect A von Street to 5th Street Extended. Currently, there is no
direct connection and this requires travelers to take a circuitous route to travel a very short
distance. This road will provide an important east/west connection to the Southern urban area
and provide important emergency (fire/rescue/police) access to in the area. This road will also
improve east/west traffic now traveling through city neighborhood streets. Since some
commuters use Interstate 64 to make this connection, this project could reduce local traffic on
the Interstate.
Route 29 (Western) Bypass
The Western Bypass is a proposed six-mile long roadway from the interchange of Route 29 and
Route 29/250 Bypass to just north of Route 643 (Polo Grounds Road). It is planned to connect
with Route 29 and the proposed Northern Free State Road Meado'.'.' Creek Parlnvay.
The purpose of the Bypass is to alleviate traffic on Route 29 North and allow the road network to
operate at a higher level of service in the State. The Route 29 ('.Vestern) Bypass is a project
initiated by VDOT. The County has been working with VDOT via MPO to address the
County's concerns with the Western Bypass. In this effort, the CHART Plan described the
Western Bypass as noted below.
The project as designed does not meet community or regional needs, and has been determined
too costly for the transportation benefits to be gained (draft design plans for the Western
Bypass can befound in the Albemarle County Department of Community Development and the
local VDOT Residency Office). The transportation goals of the Bypass can be more effectively
realized with improvements to the existing Route 29 corridor.
Portions of the right-of-way reserved for this project should be considered for potential use in
other projects such as Berkmar Drive Extended. The remaining right-of-way should be sold,
with the proceeds going toward other projects in the Route 29 corridor that better deliver cost-
effective solutions to congestion along the corridor. These include adding additional lanes to
Route 29 North. These actions would effectively contribute to the near-term improvements
needed to maintain Route 29 as the major north-south automobile and truck route.
Recommendation
· Design the Route 29 and Route 250 Corridor to accommodate the anticipated traffic demands
from existing and future development.
· Construct the MeadO'.'.' Creek Parkway and Route 29 (Western) Bypass to provide more direct
access to the Urban l.rea and City and alleviate traffic congestion on Route 29.
. Develop the Meadow Creek Parlc.vay and Route 29 (')/estern) Bypass with a park\vay
16
design. Location and design of the Mcado'N Creek Parlnvay shall be consistent \vith the
recommendations of the Meadow Creek Parkway Final Report, May 2001. .
· Implement the recommendations from UnJAM 2025 Plan.
· Implement the recommendations of the 29H250 Study and implement the transportation
recommendations of the Places29 Study, when adopted.
· Maintain existing cross-section of Route 250 West from Route 29/250 Bypass to the 1-64
interchange.
· Implement improvements to Route 250 East consistent with Neighborhood Plan, when
adopted.
· Construct the Meadow Creek Parkway, including an interchange at the Route 250
Bypass.
· Construct the Hillsdale Drive extension as recommended in the Hillsdale Drive
Extension Study.
· Complete construction of the Southern Parkway by extending the road to connect to sth
Street.
· Implement the UnJAM 2025 Plan recommendations regarding the Route 29 Western
Bypass.
· Implement the recommendations from UnJAM 2025 Plan to undertake a traffic impact
and location study for the Eastern Connector Study.

Road Development
There are several major tools and processes that are used to plan for needed road improvements.
These tools and processes are discussed below,
MINUTP is an important tool used to analyze existing and future conditions and to assist the
County in making land use and transportation decisions. It is a computerized transportation model
system, essentially, a library of programs which enable the user to perform trip generation,
distribution, and traffic assignment studies. MINUTP is used by the Virginia Department of
Transportation and the County of ,^.lbemarle Planning Department. MINUTP is a gravity based
model where an employment or economic attraction draws traffic and a path(s) of least resistance
is calculated.
The main component of the MINUTP model is socio economic data 'Nhich includes numbers of
households, population, numbers of autos, total employment, retail employment, and school
enrollment. This data is provided to VDOT '""hich uses the model to forecast the future road needs
of the County. The model divides the City and the urban part of the County into 212 traffic
analysis zones (TAZ). The model does not cover the entire County, but does include the C\ TS
Study areas (see Map ,^.). For each zone, socio economic data is gathered for the base year (1990)
and projected for the year 2015. The projected socio economic data is based on a detailed
methodology, 'Nhich was approved by the MPO. The model '.vill need to be updated eyery five
years to reflect changes to the Land Use Plan and CATS CHf.R T update.
Recommendation
.
Update the MJ}~UTP traffic forecasting model to reflect the updated Land Use
~
Criteria Bascd-Rating S)'stcm
A criteria based rating system was established in 1989 and is used generally to assist in
prioritizing projects listed in the Six Year Road Plans. Road projects are divided into five
categories. They are major reconstruction; new road construction; bridge replacement; spot/safety
improvements, and unpayed road improvements. Once separated into categories, all projects are
then prioritized together based on: (1) category ranking, (2) location relative to Development
Areas, (3) average daily traffic, and (1) functional classification. This rating system establishes a
systematic and equitable means to begin prioritizing road projects. The ultimate decision,
however, on project priority is based on VDOT recommendations, public input, relevant
information derived from the Traffic Forecasting Model and other intangibles, such as proximity
18
to schools, and severe safety issues.
Six Year Primary and Secondary Road Plans
.
The Primary System Construction Program Six Y car Primary Road Plan consists of a prioritized
list of improvements and a financial implementation plan for all projects in each locality within
the Culpeper Highway District (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Albemarle, Fluvanna,
Greene, Rappahannock, and Louisa Counties). The Board of Supervisors reviews and approves a
priority listing of projects for the County and forwards this list to VDOT. The final list of
improvements and financial plan is established by VDOT for the entire district.
The Six Year Secondary Road Plan also consists of a priority list of improvement projects and a
financial implementation plan for all projects within the County. Each year the financial
implementation plan must be reviewed and approved for appropriation by the Board of
Supervisors. The County adopts a priority listing of projects every two years. The list is based on
transportation recommendations identified in the C^.TS (CHART Plan, Rural Area
Transportation Long Range Plan), Rural Area Plan, the Comprehensive Plan or related planning
studies. The total list of projects exceeds anticipated that which can be completed during the six
year time horizon of the plan, The County has significantly more control over project priorities on
the Secondary System than it does on the Primary System.
Traditionally, most County roadway improvements have been limited to funding through
VDOT's six year road planning process for both primary and secondary roads. Recently,
however, the County has made a more concerted effort to fund the development of proposed .
roads and work with the development community to encourage participation in the development
of these roads. Examples of these projects include the connection of Commonwealth Drive to
Greenbrier Drive, and the construction of Hillsdale Drive/Branchlands Boulevard and Berkmar
Drive Extended in which the County and developers shared construction costs. In order to take
advantage of these types of efforts in the future, it is necessary that the County have an effective
transportation planning process which provides standardized methods to identify and prioritize
new projects. Future roads which the County proposes for development, but which are ineligible
for VDOT construction funds, will need to be funded through the Capital Improvements Program.
Recommendation
Maintain and regularly update a County Priority List of Secondary and Primary
Road Improvements.
General Design Standards For Roads
The following are general design standards for roads in the County:
1.
Design new roads in a manner which is sensitive to County and regional efforts
which encourage multi-modal opportunities and neighborhood and pedestrian-
friendly character:
19
.
.
Provide walle-Nays or pathways sidewalks on both sides of the street along
all arterials, collectors, and local through-roads in the Urban Area,
Communities and Villages unless, other pedestrian access facilities
adequately address current needs or pedestrian access in a certain location
is deemed inappropriate for reasons of safety. For roads of four lanes or
more provide walkways on both sides of the road to more safely
accommodate pedestrians.
Provide bike facilities (lanes, paths, paved shoulders, increased pavement
'Nidth) in accordance 'Nith the "Bicycle Plan for the City of Charlottesville
and ,^.lbemarlc Count)',"
.
.
20
Encourage, where right of way is reasonably available, paved
shoulders on shoulder and ditch designed roads (rural cross-
section) and wider outside lanes on curb and gutter designed road
(urban cross-section) on any new or reconstructed road to more
safely accommodate bicycles. Paved shoulders also improve long
term road maintenance by reducing pavement deterioration along
road edge of rural cross-section roads.
.
Accommodate, where appropriate, bus stop pull-outs or other
improvements necessary to support bus service. For new major
road projects consider long term need for additional room to
support mass-transit facilities (rapid/express bus lanes, rail
service, etc.). Major road projects can be considered a significant
widening or improvement to a primary road or a secondary road.
2.
Design the construction of In the Rural Area, road improvements
should be designed to be protectiw! of environmentally sensitive areas
and conform to County goals to preserve rural character. In this regard,
improvements which contribute to increased vehicle speed, such as
straightening alignments and additional lanes may create less safe
conditions and may not be consistent with the rural character of the
County. Paving shoulders for enhanced safety and bike use should be
encouraged. In the Development Areas, streets should be designed with
a streetscape (sidewalks and plantings) that support the Neighborhood
Model. and should encourage a more aesthetically pleasing and "human
scale" design. Any anticipated road improvements or construction in
fragile sensitive or significant resource areas as defined by the Open
Space Plan, Natural Resource and Cultural Assets Plan, or other
documents should receive extremely careful scrutiny and provide
protection measures to eliminate ecological, environmental, and
aesthetic concerns.
.
3. Encourage Landscaping should be provided along major roads in the
Urban Area, Communities and Villages, particularly along designated
Entrance Corridor Roadways and areas of intensive development.
4. Use less obtrusive, more aesthetically pleasing appurtenant structures such
atr-Mast arm traffic light poles and street light poles and signs are
encouraged over hanging street lights.
5. Locate utilities underground where feasible. If utility poles are to be above
ground, encourage their consolidation into one corridor along the road.
6. Minimize clearing activities associated' with construction to the greatest
extent feasible.
.
21
.
.
.
+
Require interconnection of adjacent developments/neighborhoods within
Development Areas, and, where appropriate, in Rural Area development,
to achieve a local road system and provide alternatives to the regional road
network for local trips. This principle should apply to residential and non-
residential developments. "Traffic calming" measures (lower speed limits,
all directional stop intersections, speed bumps, traffic channeling
measures) should be incorporated to reduce the impact of non local
through traffic in neighborhoods.
8. Discourage direct access from individual lots to arterial and major
collector roads. Utilize joint entrances, frontage roads, and side street
access or other methods to reduce access points to adjacent properties on
major collector or arterial roads.
9. Minimize the number of access points per parcel or development area to
those necessary to provide safe and convenient access to and from the site.
10.
Minimum desirable separation of street intersections is 1,000 feet for
principle arterial roads and 800 feet for minor arterial and collector roads.
Minimum desirable spacing for cross-overs (divided road) is 1,300 feet for
principle arterial and 1,000 feet for minor arterial and major collectors.
Entrances shall be located either directly across from a cross-over or at a
minimum of 500 feet from a crossover. Encourage use of block
configurations in the Development Areas. Block lengths should range
from 200-600'.
22
Traffic Reduction
.
Traffic reduction initiatives are intended to reduce dependency on the automobile, and
change the pattern of single-occupant auto trips, as the dominant means of transportation.
Although it is recognized that auto travel will continue 10 be a primary means of travel,
reducing auto trips can: 1) delay the need for road improvements by better utilizing
existing road capacities; and, 2) conserve fuel and reduce pollution (air, water, noise).
Alternative transportation services and initiatives which can reduce single-occupant auto
travel include public transit services, ride-sharing/vanpooling programs, bicycle and
pedestrian access facilities, and travel demand reduction techniques such as tele-
commuting and flex-time work hours. Adherence to the General Principles for
Transportation recommendations for the above noted services and facilities should serve
to implement traffic reduction initiatives.
Transportation Services
Public transportation includes any public mass transit services available to County
residents such as the Charlottesville Transit System (CTS), the University Transit Service
(UTS), and JAUNT. The County also benefits from other providers it does not fund, such
as taxi services and inner-city bus services. The transit service providers to the County
are described in more detail below. An important component in planning and providing
public transportation services is the "Private Sector Process" adopted by MPO members.
This process is designed to more equitably involve the private sector when selecting
public transportation service options. The inclusion of the private sector perspective has
resulted from Federal Transportation Administration (FT A) regulations requiring: (1)
notification of proposed services to private providers; (2) consultation with private
enterprise for public services; (3) consideration of private carriers in providing services;
(4) comparison of costs between service proposals by the private and public sectors; and,
(5) complaint resolution mechanisms for private operators.
.
Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS)
CTS pro'.'ides general fixed route service by contract \vith ,^.lbemarle County in
urbanized portions of the County. The s)'stem operates as a branch of the City of
Charlottes','ille's Public 'Vorles Department. Currently, two urban bus routes are
provided by CTS in the Route 29 North Corridor. Bus service to the Route 29 North
Corridor began in 1981. Bus service to the residential areas along GeorgetovtTI Road,
H)'draulic Road, and Commonwealth Drive began in ] 983. Bus service was extended to
the Colonnades Retirement Center in 1995. The City of Charlottesville funds bus service
to Piedmont Virginia Community College.
There are several studies that staff utilizes when considering future bus servIce
23
.
.
expansions. These studies are the Public Private Transit ,^.ltematives for Urban
'^.lbemarle County, Virginia ] 990 and the Transit Dcvelopment Plan ] 991 which state
that public transportation should be acccssible to the urban residents of the Count)'. The
Transit Deyelopment Plan suggests fixed route guidelincs that the Count)' can usc as a
starting point '.vhen deciding whcre to locate bus stops. The final decision on the location
of new bus service will be based on CTS and County Planning Department
recommendations, public input, and cost. CTS receives annual appropriations from
,'\lbemarle County for transit service.
.
Public transportation in the Charlottesville and the urban areas of Albemarle County
is provided by Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS). CTS operates six days a week
with ten daily, fIXed routes, one demand response, and six night service routes
throughout the urban area. Creating the hub of the public transportation network,
bus routes circle around the downtown pedestrian mall before breaking off in the
designated direction. CTS service extends south to Interstate 64, as far up Route 29
North to Wal-Mart, and east to Pantops. Buses are wheelchair accessible and CTS
offers paratransit programs, in conjunction with JA UNT, for riders with disabilities
who are unable to use regular route buses. CTS buses are also equipped with bike
racks. The County will continue to:
· Implement County related recommendations of the Charlottesville Transit
Development Plan, and participate in its update which occurs every five years.
· Continue to support Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC)
Rideshares services and the Commuter Information Team (CIT).
· Participate with TJPDC, MPO, and Rural Area Transportation Long Range Plan
to develop regional plan for park and ride lots.
· Continue to work with area employees to reduce single occupancy commuter
vehicles.
JAUNT
JA UNT, Inc. is a regional transportation system providing fIXed-route and demand-
response service to the citizens of Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, and
Nelson Counties. JA UNT receives federal and state mass transit funding as well as
funds from the local governments, human service agency payments and passenger
fares. The eighty-vehicle fleet carries the general public, agency clients, the elderly and
people with disabilities throughout Central Virginia. Mobile Data Computers have
been installed in all of JA UNT's vehicles and new, sophisticated scheduling software
handles all 1,200 scheduled trips per day. Reservationists can quickly find the most
effective vehicle for each trip, dispatchers know exactly where each vehicle is, and
operators access their trip information directly from their on-board computer. Fixed
route services primarily connect outlying communities to the urban area, but routes to
less populated centers are available as well. Weekday transit routes operate on most
primary roads: Route 29 North and South, Route 20 South, Route 250 East and West,
and Interstate Route 64.
.
24
Routes in rural Albemarle County originate in various communities including
Scol1sville, Covesville, North Garden, Keswick, Advance Mills, Earlysville and Slate
Hill.
.
J,^.UNT is a public serVIce corporation owned by /\Ibemarle, Nelson, Fluvanna, and
Louisa Counties and the City of Charlottesville. J,^. UNT also receives annual
appropriations from the County for transit services.
The following services are provided to the County by JAUNT:
. Coordinated transportation services for all human service agencIes serving the
County
. Rural public transportation services, including rural to urban commuter work
runs
. Special services to the handicapped and elderly, including door-to-door pre-
arranged personalized service
. Supporting services to the handicapped in CTS areas
. Ride sharing/van pooling program;
University Transit Service (UTS)
.
UTS provides fixed route service on the campus of the Uniyersity of Virginia and to
adjacent residential properties, particularly along the Ivy Road ,^.rea of the County '.vest
of the campus. UTS and CTS have allowed transfers between the t'NO systems since 1992
at no additional cost to the rider. The Transit Development Plan outlines a five year
consolidation plan for UTS and CTS if certain bench marks are met.
UTS offers transportation and charter services to students, employees, and visitors to
the University of Virginia. It operates twenty fIXed routes throughout the calendar
year, with afocus on the academic year. UTS has three types of service: full, holiday,
and commuter. Transfers can be made between CTS and UTS buses.
Currently, UTS is wholly owned and operated by the University and is funded through
mandatory student fees and parking passes. The service is oriented toward students,
faculty, and employees of the University.
Private Taxi Ser'lices
Local taxi services provide demand responsive door to door service to most areas of the
County, and also proyide some services under contract with public agencies, There are
six companies which operate in the area. Taxi services are an important public

.
transportation resource since they provide transportation opportunities to and from almost
any location and are available at night and on Sundays, v.'hen CTS and JAUNT do not
provide services.
The County's growth management policy and land use plan create both distinct
advantages and disadvantages in providing public transportation services. The effort to
concentrate growth in specified Development Areas, particularly in the Urban Area
around the City, permits a large portion of the population to be served with relative ease
and efficiency. However, the low density and wide dispersal of population in the Rural
Areas make it more difficult to provide convenient access to public transportation to
those areas in a cost effective manner. While providing public transportation in the urban
areas only is consistent with the County's growth management policy, it results in little or
no service to low-and moderate-income individuals and families, the elderly, and the
handicapped who reside in the rural regions of the County.
Ride Sharing
RideShare is a program of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission
working to reduce traffic congestion and increase mobility throughout the city of
Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson
by promoting alternatives to the single occupant vehicle. Its services includes car and
vanpool matching, referrals to transit providers, inventory, marketing, development of
Park and Ride lots, operating the Guaranteed Ride Home Program, and promotion of
bicycle and pedestrian transportation. This program is continuing to expand and most
recently has implemented a SchoolPool program, to assist schools with traffic
congestion thatfrequently occurs in their lots. RideShare is also an active participant
of the Commuter Information Team (CIT) which includes RideShare, Charlottesville
Transit Service (CTS), JA UNT, University Transit Service (UTS), and Greene County
Transit.
Park and Ride lots located in Albemarle County include:
26
Scottsville -Rt. 20 at the Scottsville Market
Keene
Mountainside Senior Living
A von Street Extended
Pantops Shopping Center
Darden Towe Park
Wal-Mart
Forest Lakes South Entrance
Peace Lutheran Church
Forest Lakes North (Health Services Center)
Maple Grove Church
Grace United Methodist Church
.
Ride sharing initiatives include development of 'park n ride' lots, the coordination of a
carpooling referral service, and employer initiated carpooling/vanpooling programs.
JAUNT is responsible for coordinating the ride sharing program in the area.
JAUNT and the County Planning Department have undertaken a joint effort to ''lork \vith
area shopping centers, businesses, churches, public agencies and vacant lot o\vners in
establishing park n ride lots. One lot has been established at the Charlottesville Public
Works yard on .^.von Street. Four other sites are in the planning stages and are located on
Route 29 (Rio Hill Shopping Center), Route 250 East, Route 250 West, and in the
Earlysville area.
.
As noted in the c.-\ TS Qualitative Assessment, 2015, ride sharing is most heavily
influenced by gas prices, trip length and time. Nationally, most people \'lho ride share
have a 25 to 10 minute commute. The average commute in the Charlottesville area is 11
minutes. These relati'.'ely short commuting times, coupled with relatively stable fuel
prices, make ride sharing a challenge to market. Because suburban densities are usually
too low to support significant le'.'els of fixed route transit service, ride sharing becomes
one of the best available opportunities to reduce traffic in developing areas.
Recommendations
Identify methods of funding transit services and develop a funding
structure/program to support transit in the County,
· Expand transit service in the Urban Area, and to the Hollymead, Cedar
Hill Mobile Estates and Piney Mountain Communities.
Utilize the Transit Development Plan and other studies to assist m
determining the location and timing for the provision of transit services.
Consider expansion of service hours to include nights and weekends on
appropriate routes to improve ridership and service.
27
.
.
.
.
Continue to recognize and support JAUNT as the primary public
transportation provider for rural Albemarle County and the County's
transportation disadvantaged.
Continue to support MPO and JAUNT ride-sharing services.
· Participate with MPO and JAUNT to develop a regional plan for system
of park and ride lots.
· Work with area employers through MPO to encourage development of
ridesharing/vanpooling programs and travel demand reduction programs.
Encourage development of ridesharing and travel demand reduction
programs in evaluating rezoning and parking lot requests for major
industrial, office, and commercial projects.
Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Greenway Access
Pedestrian and bicycle access is an important aspect of the County's overall
transportation system. Walkways and bikeways provide for safe and convenient travel
and improve the efficiency of the roadway system by reducing potential conflicts
between motor vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists.
Pedestrian andbicycle access improvements can also complement and enhance the mass
transportation system by improving access to bus stops and places of economic activity.
The provision of an effective pedestrianlbicycle system can also enhance the sense of
community within developed or developing areas of the County by providing
pedestrianlbicycle facilities that interconnect communities and facilitate and encourage
interaction within the area,
Appropriate facilities such as walkways, pathways and bike facilities create a safe and
effective pedestrianlbicycle environment. These facilities alone, however, do not provide
for adequate safe and efficient access, and as a result, additional facilities or
improvements may be necessary such as street lights, signs, and other road intersection
improvements.
The Department of Community Development in cooperation with the Thomas
Jefferson Planning District Commission has developed the Jefferson Area Bicycle,
Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan. This Plan will replace the existing Pedestrian
Obstacle Study, and the Bicycle Plan for the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle
County.
The purpose of this plan is to provide information and guidance on development of
facilities and other accommodations to enhance safe bicycle and pedestrian travel
within the Thomas Jefferson Planning District. This plan will also satisfy the Virginia
28
Department of Transportation requirement that a roadway be identified as a bike lane
or sidewalk in a locally adopted bicycle or pedestrian plan before improvements can be
made. Descriptions are given as to how localities can create and maintain safe and
efficient walking and biking systems, linking people to the services they need. An
overall network is proposed that connects the many communities of the region, and
smaller networks proposed for within those communities. The plan also identifies
methods for increasing awareness among the public, especially automobile drivers,
about the needs of walkers and cyclists. Implementation and funding issues are
discussed, as well. This plan offers recommendations for both physical improvements
and programs aimed at improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities and safety.
.
The Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan begins with a description
of existing conditions, demand and need, and possible facility types for both bicycles
and pedestrians. The Plan allows for links to surrounding localities. Public input was
invaluable to the development of this plan. Local biking clubs and organizations were
invited to the meetings. The Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
incorporates the recommendations of the County's Greenway Plan (Appendix-.J
Goals and Objectives of the Regional Plan are:
GOAL 1: Provide a comprehensive and coordinated regional bicycling and walking
system.

Pedestrian Access
Several studies have been conducted concerning the proVISIOn of pedestrian access
improvements. The most comprehensive study is the Pedestrian Obstacle Study. Phase 1
and II 'shieh was prepared in conjunction \vith, and adopted by, the MPO in 1986. Phase
I examined existing pedestrian conditions, identified hazardous areas, and recommended
improvements to promote pedestrian safety in the Urban Neighborhoods. The study
recommended roadway improvements, construction of walkways, and the provision of
street lights. Phase II examined locations where future pedestrian walkways may be
necessary, and specified twenty nine locations recommended for '.valkway or pathway
constructi on.
The Pedestrian Obstacle Study is used as the primary guide for pedestrian related
improvements. The Study recommends '.valkway improvements as well as specific
recommendations for improving or installing street lights, cross'Nalks, signals,
30
intersection channels, signs, bus stops, barriers, and other roadway improvements.
\Valkways in the County are provided through either County initiative, VDOT, or by
private land development. Walkways provided through land development occur either
voluntarily or as a result of development regulations. The current County v;allnvay
requirements for site development applications specify that a '.vallnvay may be required
on at least one side of the road in all residential developments of t''''o units per acre or
greater. In areas of industrial, office, and commercial development, walkways may also
be required.
.
While a majority of the walkways in the Co~mty have been constructed by the private
sector in conjunction \vith land development and 'lOOT, several walkways have been
constructed through County efforts. County constructed projects include an asphalt
\valkway on Georgetown Road and sections of 'Nalk'Nay on White-Nood Road, Old Brook
Road, and Greenbrier Drive. '1DOT may establish walkways along nev,' or reconstructed
roads '.vhen '.valkways are identified in an adopted plan.
The initial Pedestrian Obstacle Study is recognized by 'lOOT as a valuable process for
identifying existing problem areas and the improvements needed to increase the overall
safety and function of the pedestrian access system in the Urban ,^.rea. This study process
should continue as a systematic, on going planning activity for identifying pedestrian
access needs tlLoughout the County and should be expanded to include other
Development .''.reas of the County such as Hollymead, Piney Mountain, and Crozet.
Existing study areas and recommendations of the document should also be reyie\ved and
revised as necessary to accurately reflect the most up to date conditions and needs. The
recommendations in the completed Neighborhood Plans for the construction and/or
upgrade of pedestrian facilities should be used to augment and update the Pedestrian
Obstacle Study. The MPO will be developing a Walhvay Study for the Cit), and Urban
.'\rca of the County beginning in fiscal year 1998. This project would essentially act as
the update of the previous Pedestrian Obstacle Study.
.
Bicycle Access
Bicycle usage has become increasingly prominent in Albemarle County both for
transportation and recreational purposes, particularly for the student population in and
around the Uni'lersity and for weekend cyclists throughout the County. Cycling can be a
viable transportation alternative for short trips and is a popular form of exercise.
In 1991, the i\lbemarle County Board of Supervisors adopted the Bicycle Plan for the
City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County as an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan (published under separate cover). This plan recommends locations and design
specifications for the development of a bicycle access system. The plan also offers goals,
objectives, trip attractors, and trip generators for bicyclists.
There are seyeral bikeways planned in the County, they include: Hydraulic Road,
Greenbrier Drive, Thomas Jefferson Parkway, Rio Road, ,^.irport Road, and the Meadow
31
.
Creek Parkway to name a few. Bikeways currently exist on Route 631 south of the City
. and along Fontaine Avenue.
In order to establish bikeways along state roads, they must be approved by the Virginia
Department of Transportation. VDOT has broad guidelines regarding the use of
secondary road improvement funds for bikeway construction. These guidelines can be
found in i\ppendix ,'\ in the Bicycle Plan For The City of Charlottesville and i\lbemarle
County.
Recommendations
Develop, through the MPO, a Walkway, Plan for Charlottesville and the
Urban ,'\rea of the County, In addition, the County should development a
Plan for the remaining Development ,A.reas in conjunction with the
Neighborhood Studies.
Utilize the existing Neighborhood and Master Plans for identifying
potential walkway, bicycle, greenway, and streetlight projects.
. Implement the recommendations of the Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian
and Greenway Plan.
.
Evaluate existing Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance requirements and
enabling legislation to ensure pedestrian facilities are being provided as
called for in this Plan.
.
Evaluate the need (and method) for the County to supplement VDOT's
walkway maintenance, grassy strips, and tree lawn areas.
Maintain Establish an on-going walkway, bicycle, and green way
construction fund in the Capital Improvements Program. Utilize all
possible funding sources for the construction of walkways and bicycle
facilities.
Utilize Development Standards for Roads and Land Use Standards for
Development as guidelines for pedestrian facility development.
Implement the recommendations of the existing Bicycle Plan for the City
of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Regularly review and update
Plan.
Include bicycle and sidewalk facilities within new major developments
depending on their location. Provide amenities such as bike racks and
shower facilities.
.
Consider VDOT and railroad companies' excess right-of-way for multi-
use trails.

Other Transportation Types
Air Travel
The purpose of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Master Plan of August 18, 2004 is
to provide the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Authority with useful, understandable
information and guidance to develop and maintain a safe and efficient airport. It also
provides the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Virginia Department of
Aviation with information concerning the planned development at Charlottesville-
Albemarle Airport. The Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Master Plan is a
comprehensive planning guide that ensures the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport
remains a safe, efficient, and environmentally sensitive air transportation facility, while
serving the growing needs of air travelers throughout the region.
The Airport has maintained a master plan for facility development since 1972. Prior
updates include 1982 and 1994. FAA requires an airport to maintain a master plan in
order to be eligible to receive grant-in-aid funding through its airport improvement
program. There are no set guidelines from FAA on how often an airport master plan
should be updated. Each master plan includes forecasts of aviation activity that are
applicable for 5, lO and 20 year periods. Historically, the Charlottesville-Albemarle
Airport has conducted an update every I 0- I 2 years.
.
Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO) is the only commercial service airport in the
region (the Louisa County Industrial Airpark is a general aviation airport). The
Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport is located in northern Albemarle County west of Route
29 at Routes 649 and 606, approximately eight miles north of Charlottesville. It is both a
general aviation and a non hub, commercial sef'.'ice airport offering 60 daily non stop
flights to and from Charlotte, Philadelphia, New York/LaGuardia, 'N ashingtonlDulles,
Cincinnati, and ,^.tlanta. The airport is served by DeltaConnection, United Express, and
US l\irways Express. Service was initiated at the Airport by Piedmont Airlines in 1955.
Since then, the facility has grown to include a 60,000 square foot terminal facility with
modem customer amenities offering on-site rental cars, ground transportation, and food
service. General aviation facilities include an executive terminal offering a full-service
fixed base operation, flight schools, and aircraft charter firms. Significant increases in the
number of passengers departing from the airport on commercial flights have occurred.
The Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport continues to grow, from 65,620 passengers
departing on commercial flights in 1980 to l32,432 in 1990, and serving 163,416
passengers in 2003,
The County is aware of the need to address infrastructure needs which would improve
airport operations, such as public utility and road improvements, Any future land
acquisition and development by the Authority will also need to be coordinated with the
33
.
County to insure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable ordinances,
. and to minimize negative impacts of expansions,
The Charlonesville i\lbemarle /.irport is located eight miles north of the City, near the
Community of Hollymead. The airport is operated by a regional :\irport l\uthority,
created in 1982, '.vhich consists of City and County government representatiyes and
citizens. The authority has regulatory and fiscal control of the operations of the airport
facilities, '.vi thin the guidelines of the Charlottesville Albemarle i\irport Master Plan and
Federal ,^.viation ,^.dministration (F:\l.) regulations.
Commercial flights and commuting services arc available daily from the Charlottesville
Albemarle Airport to approximately twenty five locations including major international
airports at l\tlanta, Ne',v York, Pittsburgh, Charlone, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and
Philadelphia. Commercial air services are presently provided by five carriers. Aviation
services are also available from private aircraft.
.
The Charlottesville Albemarle Airport has experienced continued grov.1h in flight
services during recent years. In 1990 enplanements, (persons leaving the airport aboard a
commercial flight), numbered 132,132, compared with 65,620 enplanements in 1980.
The airport operates one grooved asphalt runway (6000 feet by 1150 feet), equipped "vith
high intensity lights. Navigational aids include a precision landing system, a rotating
beacon, and an Fl.A control to'Ner, which is in continuous operation. The Charlonesville
,^.Jbemarle /.irport has been approved for installation of airport surveillance radar (,'\SR).
The ASR will provide radar monitoring of low altitude flights in and around the Central
Virginia flight sector. The receiving and transmitting facility for ASR would likely be
located atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Greene County line. This safety
improvement may influence expansion of existing commercial services at the airport, and
may trigger increased development in the vicinity.
Rail Travel
Passenger and freight rail service are available in north-south and east-west directions
throughout the region. AMTRAK service for passengers originates at the City of
Charlottesville's Union Station on West Main Street. There are no other AMTRAK
stops in the planning district.
TransDominion Express (TDX)
.
The TransDominion Express (TDX) project is a collaborative effort between both state
and local agencies. As detailed in the 1998 Bristol Report, The TDX is a proposed rail
system that would connect southwest Virginia with both Washington, D.C. and
Richmond. TransDominion Express will serve the region, with proposed rail corridors
starting in Bristol, with destinations to Washington D.C., and Richmond. Service to
Richmond will be through Lynchburg, and a stop is proposed for Charlottesville on the
route to Washington. The TDX would cover approximately 400 miles and has nineteen
formal and informal proposed stations. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public
34
Transportation found that "creation of TDX would decrease traffic congestion on
highways and interstates, reduce air traffic pollution, increase safety, stimulate tourism
and commerce and provide an efficient alternative to automobile travel. The County
supports the TDX and funding.

^ main line of the Norfolk Southern Railroad from Washington, D.C. to ,^.tlanta, Georgia
runs north to south through '^.Ibemarle County. CSX Transportation provides an east to
"vest connection, with Hampton Roads in the east and Chicago (among other points) to
the "vest. Passenger serlice is available in Charlottesville from the National Railroad
Passenger Corporation (,^.MT~'\K). The Cardinal runs tri "'leekl)' bet'.veen Washington,
D.C. and Chicago, via Charlottesville. The Crescent operates daily between New York
and New Orleans, via 'Nashington D.C., Charlottesville, and ,A.tlanta. The James River
Division of the Chesapeake and Ohio runs along the southern border of the County
through Scottsville.
The ,A.mtrak Station is located at the intersection of the Norfolk Southern Railroad and
the CSX lines in the old Norfolk Southern Station, adjacent to West Main Street. The
City of Charlottesville has been granted ISTE,A. Enhancement funds to renovate the
station as part of a large redevelopment project, (rail passenger service provides an
alternate mode of inter city transportation). This renovation project '.'.'ould improve rail
passenger service and ridership.
A direct physical impact of rail service is the possible conflict with pedestrians and autos
at crossing points. Also, hazardous materials are transported daily along railroad lines.
Safety records show that railroad shipment of such material is safer by far than along
highways. The shipment of hazardous material further increase the importance of railroad
crossing improvements, such as the installation of warning devices to minimize potential
collisions. The responsibility of rail-road-highway at-grade crossings are considered the
responsibility of the Virginia Department of Transportation and, therefore, are addressed
in the Six Year Road planning process,
.
Presently no freight originates in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area. Freight trains,
however, run on the rail line. Two private terminals receive freight in the Charlottesville
area: the University of Virginia receives coal; Better Living receives building material.
and H. M. Gleason receives farm supplies.
A team track loading facility is presently located at the eXIstmg Norfolk-Southern
Railroad Station adjacent to West Main Street. The platform, although used infrequently,
provides a facility to unload industrial and farm equipment from railroad cars to other
vehicles. When the proposed multi-modal station is constructed, the team track loading
platform will need to be relocated.
Rail access is an important component of the County's overall transportation system, and
it is important to maintain the railway system as a complement and supplement to other
transportation modes. Rail access can also be important to industrial activities.
35
.
.
.
.
Should usage of rail lines be abandoned, efforts should be made to maintain the lines for
future rail use. Interim uses, such as trail use, may also be appropriate. These rights-of-
way would be different and costly to re-establish if needed again the future. Their
availability in the long term may prove beneficial to the County and to adjacent
communities.
Grade-separated crossings, whether underpasses or overpasses, are generally the
responsibility of the railroad involved. Several existing railroad bridges and underpasses
are of substandard design or condition, create impediments to free traffic flow, and may
present safety problems.
Recommendations
· The Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Master Plan of August 18, 2004
is recognized as a guide for the development Charlottesville-Albemarle
Airport. Continue to recognize the Airport Authority as responsible for
the management, planning, and expansion of the Charlottesville-
Albemarle Airportfacilities. The County and the Airport Authority should
coordinate long-term land use and development plans for the airport area.
· Continue to implement improvements to railroad crossings and bridges
through the six year road planning process or other necessary means.
· Study andfcasihility ofHght rail service along the Route 25() West
corridor to Crazet and Route 29 north corridor to Stantlardsvilk.(deleted
by Planning Commission)
.
Maintain existing rail passenger service and pursue enhanced service for
the Charlottesville/Albemarle Community. Monitor all potential railroad
abandonment efforts to determine the impact on the County and region. If
abandonment takes place, evaluate possible alternative uses such as a
linear park with pedestrian, equestrian or bicycle trails.
.
Maintain support of the funding of the Tram'Dominion Express and
support that it be seriously considered as a multi-modal means to
address congestion on Route 29.

Neighborhood One
Location
Neighborhood One is bounded by Route 29 North on the east, Hydraulic Road on the south, (and
a small area to the south of Hydraulic Road), the South Fork Rivanna River reservoir watershed
and Hydraulic Road on the west and the South Fork Rivanna River on the north.
Existing Land Use
Residential- Neighborhood One contains 3,285 housing units and a population of7,241 people.
This neighborhood contains the largest residential population in the County, Sixteen percent (522)
of the housing units in the Neighborhood are single-family attached; twenty-five percent (825) of
the housing units are either townhouses, single family attached or duplexes; fifty-six percent
(1,827) are multi-family; and three percent (111) of the housing units are mobile homes (July,
1996). There are a number of major residential developments in the Neighborhood, including
Whitewood Village, Westfield, Jefferson Towne, Turtle Creek, Sachem Village, Wyndridge,
Westgate Apartments, Four Seasons and Townwood. Heritage Hall, a retirement community, is
located in this Neighborhood.
Commercial and Office- This Neighborhood contains a large inventory of retail and office
uses. Some retail uses include Shoppers World Shopping Center (148,783 square feet); Rio Hill
Shopping Center (294,901 square feet); Sam's Wholesale Club (113,613 square feet); and Wal-
Mart (114,513 square feet). Also, there are a number of other commercial uses in the
neighborhood such as car dealerships, hotels, and restaurants, which are almost all along the
Route 29 corridor. Larger office uses include Village Offices (Berkmar Drive-30,800 square feet);
West Park Plaza (Rio Road-17,975 square feet); Rio West Professional Center (50,074 square
feet); Sachem Village (Whitewood Road-12,000 square feet); Republic Business Center
(Whitewood Road- 10,032 square feet) and Albemarle Professional Center (Hydraulic Road-
14,398 square feet). Berkmar Crossing (62,066 square feet) is a mix of office and commercial

Environmental Characteristics
.
In relief, Neighborhood One slopes downward from a western ridge following Woodburn, Rio,
Hydraulic and Georgetown Roads to Route 29 North on the east. A series of swales form streams
crossing under Route 29 in various locations,
Transportation
Route 29 is a primary arterial road serving the Neighborhood. The Route 29 (Western) Bypass
will likely intersect the northern portion of Neighborhood One "vest of Berkmar Drive and east of
Woodburn Road. Rio Road and Hydraulic Road are the other significant arterial roads serving
this neighborhood. These roads are heavily traveled by vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.
Berkmar Drive and Commonwealth Drive are parallel roads to Route 29 that serves local
neighborhoods and provides alternate access options for local traffic.
Public Water and Sewer
Utilities are present throughout the neighborhood, Major waterlines follow Woodburn, Rio,
Hydraulic Roads, and Route 29. Major sewer trunk lines follow Four Seasons Drive and the
stream swale through Berkeley Subdivision to the Branchlands PUD, and ultimately to the
Moores Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant through the Rivanna Interceptor,
Pu blic Facilities
.
Agnor Hurt Elementary, the Seminole Trail Fire Station and Whitewood Park are located in the
neighborhood, as well as a boat access to the South Fork Rivanna River at the end of Woodburn
Road. Adjacent to the Neighborhood are Greer Elementary, Jouett Middle School and Albemarle
High School. Public Facilities are adequate in the area.
Recommendations
Due to the potential impact of the Western Bypass, the area north of Rio Road,
west of Berkmar Drive and east of Woodburn Road, was designated Transitional.
This designation will allow for a wide flexibility of uses and allow uses that would
be compatible with the bypass in the long term and provide a transition to the
residential property to the west in the short term. Access to Woodburn Road from
properties located between Berkmar Drive and Woodburn Drive will be prohibited,
Proposed development which impacts on the bypass development shall be
discouraged.
.
Industrial Service uses are recommended for the undeveloped area north of
Hydraulic Road, between Route 29 and Commonwealth Drive. As an alternative,
this area may be considered for mixed-use development consistent with the
Transitional designation to include commercial services serving additional
community scale needs rather than regional demands. Major considerations in the
review of any alternative land use proposals will be the impact to the surrounding
.
40
.
road system and adjacent residential areas, and consistency with the land use
development standards of the Comprehensive Plan.
Future development plans along Route 29 North are to be sensitive to its status as
an Entrance Corridor Roadway.
Transportation improvements include:
Provide landscaping, walkways and bicycle facilities along Route 29 to
enhance this corridor as the County s major business district.
V'/iden Hydraulic Road and Rio Road to five lanes between Route 29 North
and \Vhitewood Road. Include \vallcways and bicycle facilities in
conjunction with this project.
Improve traffic circulation in the large residential area located between
Hydraulic and Rio Roads v.'ith the extension of Greenbrier Drive to
Hydraulic Road. Provide additional pavement width to accommodate
bicycles and construct \valhvays along the south side of the nevI roadv.'ay.
.
Maintain and upgrade transit service to the Neighborhood. Consider extending
transit service along Route 29 to the northern most potion of the Neighborhood
and to Berkmar Drive.
Construct improvements consistent with the recommendations of the 29H250
Study.
Construct a greenway along the South Fork of the Rivanna River. This provides a
pedestrian connection of the Ivy Creek Natural Area to the Urban Area and an
opportunity for passive recreation adjacent to the Urban Area. Develop the
greenway to meet the recreational and conservation needs of the residents in
Neighborhood One, and the entire County.
Utility improvements include:
Upgrade water and sewer lines in Four Seasons.
Rehabilitate the sewer lines in Berkeley.
Utilize existing upper and lower ponds at Four Seasons as a Regional
Storm water Facility. Make improvements to the storm outlet.
.
Improve Four Season Drive channel entrance and outlet conditions at
existing culverts. Construct a regional storm water management facility
between Peyton Drive and Commonwealth Drive,

restaurants, gas stations, banks and a movie theater. These uses are primarily located along Route
29. Large office uses include the Rio Office Center (18,000 square feet).
Other Land Uses- The Neighborhood contains two private schools,
Environmental Characteristics
The Neighborhood is divided naturally into three separate watersheds by the ridgeline on Rio
Road and a second ridge running north, parallel to the Norfolk-Southern Railway in the center of
the Neighborhood. All land north of Rio Road and west of the central ridge drains north into the
South Fork of the Rivanna River. Land south of Rio Road and west of the central ridge drains into
Meadow Creek. The land south of Rio Road and east of the central ridge drains into the Rivanna
River. The northwest portion of the Neighborhood is characterized by relatively steep slopes
along the floodplain fringe. These steeply sloped areas and the floodplain along streams draining
to the Rivanna River limit development potential in these areas.
Transportation
Route 29 serves primarily the commercial development in the Neighborhood. The proposed
Meadow Creek Parkway will affect undeveloped land in the vicinity ReFth of Rio Road. Rio Road
is the other significant arterial road serving this neighborhood. Hillsdale Drive is a road
parallel to Route 29 that serves local neighborhoods and provides an alternate access option for
46
local traffic, Rio Road has been '.videned to five lanes in the area west of the railroad line.
Vlalkwuys exist along portions of Rio Road and 'Nithin some residential areas. ;\ccess to Rio .
Road is limited for the unde'.'eloped area north of the Dunlora development and '.vest of the
Norfolk Southern Railroad.
Public Water and Sewer
Major waterlines are present within the existing subdivisions and along Rio Road. Water service
is not available to the entire Neighborhood and distribution networks of varying capacity need to
be upgraded. Wastewater is collected by the Rivanna Interceptor, which follows the floodplain of
the Rivanna to the north and east, and is treated at the Moores Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Sewer service is also not in place for all of the Neighborhood but can be provided by the Rivanna
Interceptor.

of office development, 145,000 square feet of retail development and 296 residential units on 241
acres of land near the Route 250/Interstate-64 Interchange.
Environmental Characteristics
The area is divided into two minor watersheds by Pantops Mountain, both draining to the Rivanna
River. Floodplains, wetlands and steep slopes exist along the Rivanna River. Wooded areas are
located along Interstate 64, on Pantops Mountain, and adjacent to the Southwest Mountains.
Transportation
Route 250 East and Route 20 are the primary roads servicing the area. Route 250 East has been
recently \videned from the Rivanna River to Interstate 61, Other major roadways serving the area
are Route 1117 (State Farm Boulevard), Route 1140 (South Pantops Drive) and Route 1116
(Riverbend Drive), Bus service is not available to the Neighborhood and there are no commuter
lots.
Walkways are located along portions of Route 250 East, Riverbend Drive and South Pantops
Drive. However, the system does not interconnect and large sections of the Neighborhood are
without walkways. A portion of the Rivanna greenway exists along Route 1421 (Elks Drive)
between the Darden Towe Park and Route 250 East.
The County is currently conducting a Master Plan for the Pan tops Development Area. This
study should be completed by 2006. This study will identify land use and transportation
recommendations that will guide the growth of the Pantops area.
In 1999, VDOT conducted the Route 250 East Corridor Study. The purpose of the study was to
examine existing and future travel conditions within the corridor in order to identify
transportation deficiencies. The Route 250 East Corridor Study area begins at the east
corporate limits of Charlottesville and ends approximately three-tenths of a mile east of Route
15 at Zion Crossroads in Louisa County. The study recommended a series of short term and
long term recommendations. The Study's recommendations will be considered in conjunction
with the Pantops Master Plan process.

Public Water and Sewer
.
With the extension of the Route 250 waterline to the Rivanna Village, water service is available to
the entire Neighborhood except for an area north of an unnamed tributary of the Rivanna River
that runs east/west near Darden Towe Park and the Wilton Development. Extension of the Route
20 waterline to the north will be necessary at the time these properties are developed. Sewer is
available to State Farm Boulevard. Extension of this service to the eastern portion of the
Neighborhood (Peter Jefferson Place/Glenorchy area) will be necessary at the time of
development.
Pu blic Facilities
The 102-acre Darden Towe Park is located east of the Rivanna River and west of Route 20. Stone
Robinson Elementary is located east of the Neighborhood. Fire and rescue, police and library
services are adequate to the area. Portions of the Neighborhood are lacking in Community Park
services due to the lack of an elementary school in the Neighborhood.
Neighborhood Study
A neighborhood study for Neighborhood Three was prepared by the Department of Planning and .
Community Development under the direction of a nine-member committee appointed by the
Board of Supervisors. The purpose of this study was to assist the County in establishing policy to
help guide public and private activities as they relate to land use and resource utilization within
Pantops. As such, the recommendations of this study should be considered when establishing
policy and reviewing development proposals for the area. The study makes recommendations on
public facilities, transportation, historic, environmental and design issues.
Recommendations
The large OfficelRegional Service now referred to as the Peter Jefferson Place is to
be developed as a consolidated planned development.
· New development and redevelopment along Route 250 East and Route 20 should
be designed in a manner that is sensitive to its location within Monticello's
viewshed and along a designated Entrance Corridor Roadways. Utilize the
voluntary guidelines outlined in the Neighborhood Three Study for development
within the Monticello viewshed.
Limit "strip development" of Route 250 East by preventing commercial
development along the north side of the roadway from the Interstate 64
interchange to the Regional Service designated area.
Commercial areas along Route 250 East are to be developed in a manner which .
51
.
.
.
.
limits access points, uses internal (possibly gridded) road networks, and/or parallel
roads, as well as alternative transportation systems (walkways, bike facilities and
transit). Development should have an orientation toward the internal road system
as opposed to a linear orientation towards the frontage of Route 250.
.
Provide landscaping along and within the median of Route 250 East to enhance the
roadway as an Entrance Corridor Roadway, and one of the two major vehicular
entrances, into the County's Urban Area and City.
Construct a greenway along the South Fork of the Rivanna River and Rivanna
River. This provides a pedestrian connection of the Ivy Creek Natural Area to the
Urban Area and an opportunity for passive recreation adjacent to the Urban Area.
Develop the greenway to meet the recreational and conservation needs of the
residents in the Neighborhood, and the entire County. Utilize the Neighborhood
Three Study as a guide for development of the greenway in this Neighborhood.
.
Explore opportunities for river oriented development within the Community
Service designated area behind the Pantops shopping center property.
That portion of the Ashcroft PRD (Planned Residential Development) located
immediately south of the VEPCO high voltage overhead transmission line and
west of Lego Drive (consisting of] 7.8 acres) does not lie within the Development
Area and shall be maintained as one parcel. Because of its location adjacent to a
surveyed property (Locust Shade) which is eligible for the historic register, it is to
remain rural in character and usage other than for agricultural purposes is
discouraged. Amendment adopted] 0/20/99 (CPA 1 999-0 l)
.
Transportation improvements include:
Provide bus service to the Pantops Shopping Center. Further evaluate the need
and viability of existing transit service to other areas.

Neighborhood Four .
Location
Neighborhood Four is bounded on the east by Route 20, Route 53 and the eastern portion of the
Blue Ridge Hospital property, on the south by a stream tributary to Biscuit Run approximately
2,000 feet south of the intersection of Avon Street and Route 20, on the west by Biscuit Run and
on the north by Moores Creek. Neighborhood Four also includes an adjacent area which is
bounded by the City's corporate limits, the Rivanna River, and Interstate 64. This includes the
Woolen Mills and the Moores Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Existing Land Use
Residential- Neighborhood Four contains an estimated 966 dwelling units and a population of
2,471 people. Sixty-seven percent (653) of the housing units in the Neighborhood are single-
family attached; twenty-one percent (202) of the housing units are either townhouses, single
family attached or duplexes; eleven percent (104) are multi-family; and less than one percent (7)
of the housing units are mobile homes {July, 1996). Major residential areas include Mill Creek,
Mill Creek South, Lake Reynovia, Willow Lake and Lakeside.
Commercial and Office/Warehousing- The retail and office/warehouse developments that
exist in the Neighborhood are primarily located along Route 63] (Avon Street) and include the
Astec Offices (50,451 square feet); Avon Business Park (47,040 square feet); Charlottesville Self
Storage-Student Services (72,000 square feet); Leibig Inc, (6,681 square feet warehousell ,965
square feet office); and Carolina Builders (30,000 warehouse/4,040 retail).
.
lndustrial- There are a number of industrial uses in the Neighborhood including Shenandoah's
Pride (Avon Street-13,434 square feet); Isotemp Research (2 buildings-23,250 square feet); Data
Visible (5] ,564 square feet); and Brunk Mechanical (16,362 square feet). Most of the industria]
uses in the Neighborhood are located on Broadway Street near the Woolen Mill area.
Other Land Uses- The neighborhood presently contains the Piedmont Virginia Community
College (PVCC); the Blue Ridge Hospital Complex; Tandem School; the Regional Joint Security
Complex; the National Guard Armory; and the Thomas Jefferson Visitor's Center. Monticello and
Ash Lawn are located east of Neighborhood Four.
Environmental Characteristics
The major portion of the area forms three separate watersheds, one draining into Biscuit Run, and
two smaller ones draining into Moores Creek. The area from Lake Reynovia to the south forms
the eastern half of the Biscuit Run drainage basin. The two areas north of this point, on either side

.
.
of Avon Street Extended, flow directly into Moores Creek. Some steep slopes exist on both sides
of Interstate 64 and along the eastern boundary. Floodplains exist along Moores Creek and Biscuit
Run.
Pu blic Water and Sewer
Water capacity to most of the Neighborhood was improved with the construction of the 20"
Southern Urban Transmission Main and the Avon Street water tank. However, water lines will
need to be extended and additional storage will be necessary as development occurs in the
southern portion of the Neighborhood. A major sewer interceptor was extended across Interstate
64 with capacity to provide service to this Neighborhood. Extension of the Biscuit Run
Interceptor with capacity to serve the entire Biscuit Run Drainage Basin is expected.
Transportation
Avon Street Extended has limited roadway capacity to handle any additional development. East
\-vest access is virtually non existent in the Neighborhood, however, a roadway interconnection of
Route 20 and ,Ai von Street Extended is to be built in conjunction \-vith construction of Monticello
High School. The principle roads serving Neighborhood 4 are Route 20, Route 742 and Avon
Street. Route 53 is also located within this Neighborhood. An East-West access between Rt. 20
and Avon Street Extended was built in conjunction with construction of Monticello High
School. Route 20 and Route 53 are currently classified by VDOT as "tolerable" based on road
design and existing traffic. VDOT's long range plans include horizontal and vertical curvature
improvements of Route 20 which may require some realignment. Route 53 provides access to is
the immediate approach to Monticello and has been improved to a parkway design up to the
entrance to Monticello. Plans arc in the works, and funds have been obtained, to construct a
parkway to Monticello along the existing Route 53 alignment. The parkway will includes a
walking trail and a bicycle facility that connects the Visitor's Center on Route 20 to Monticello.
There arc no notable walkways or bicycle facilities currently in the area. A park and ride facility
is located on Avon Street at the City Public Works Yard.
Pu blic Facilities
The Regional Joint Security Complex, the Moores Creek Treatment Plant, Cale Elementary and
the new Monticello High School are located in this Neighborhood. Park service and police
response times are adequate to this area. However, there is a need to improve other public
facilities in the area. A joint fire and rescue station is needed in the area to reduce response times.
This need will continue to increase with the construction of the new high school as well as
continued residential development. Library service is also lacking in this area and a branch needs
to be built to serve this area.

Recommendations
.
Provide a buffer between any new residential development in the Neighborhood
Density designated areas and Route 20.
The old landfill site on Avon Street may be unsuitable for development due to its
past use. Any development proposals of this site should clearly address this
concern. (Noted as See Text on Land Use Map).
Construct a greenway along the Rivanna River, Biscuit Run and Moores Creek.
This provides an opportunity for passive recreation in the Urban Area. Develop the
greenways to meet the recreation and conservation needs of the residents in
Neighborhood Four, as well as the remainder of the County,
Transportation improvements include:
Consider the recommendations of the Southern Charlottesville
Transportation Study for this Neighborhood.
Provide bicycle facilities and walkways in conjunction with the
construction of the Avon Street Extended Route 20 connector road.
Road'.vay interconnection of ,^.von Street Extended and Fifth Street, which .
',llould prO'.'ide access to Interstate 61 and improve traffic circulation within
the Neighborhood. The nevI road'.vay bet'..veen ,^. von Street and Fifth Street
will be offset from the roadway connecting Avon Street and Route 20.
Develop more detailed conceptual corridor access plans for Route 20 and
Route 53. This will better coordinate land access needs and allow for a
more efficient and economically managed corridor.
Construct bicycle and walkway facilities Due to increased development in
this area, including the construction of the new Monticello High School,
upgrade /\ von Street Extended and Route 20 and construct bicycle facilities
and walkways in conjunction with these upgrades. Determine the right-of-
way requirements for these road upgrades and obtain and/or reserve right-
of-ways as necessary.
Expand bus service to PVCC to include evening service. Evaluate the need
for transit service to other portions of the Neighborhood as the area
continues to develop
Construct the extension of the Southern Parkway to connect to Fifth
Street.
Construct east-west connector from Avon Street to Fifth Street north of 1-
64. This should be constructed with the development of this area.
Widen and improve the alignment of Route 20 from the existing four lane
.
58
.
segment to Mill Creek Drive. Develop functional plans for Route 20 from
Mill Creek Drive to the edge of the Development Area boundary to
determine necessary improvements.
Public Facility Improvements include:
Locate a joint fire/rescue station in or near Neighborhood Four to reduce
response times and increase fire fighting and rescue capabilities. The
location of a fire/rescue station at the Monticello High School site has been
determined to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Locate a library branch in or near Neighborhood Four.
Utility Improvements include:
Participate with the City to construct the eastern branch of the southern
water loop. This loop will link the Avon Street and Pantops Mountain Water tanks
and improve water distribution in the Neighborhood. Build another smaller water
tank on Avon Street to increase flow to Neighborhoods 4 & 5.
Provide additional water storage in the southern portion of the
Neighborhood to support demand and ensure adequate fire flow.
.
Extend the Biscuit Run Interceptor to provide capacity for the entire
drainage basin.
Consider the recommendations of the City/County/University Planning and
Coordination Council's Blue Ridge Neighborhood "Area B Study.
Adhere to the Master Land Utilization Plan for new development or
redevelopment of the Blue Ridge Hospital tract that was adopted as part of
the Blue Ridge Area B Study. This master plan addresses typical uses
allowed on the property, building location, building heights, transportation
issues, and protection of environmental and historic resources. This
property is owned by the State and is not governed by Albemarle County.
However, this Plan is generally consistent with Albemarle County
regulations.
Adhere to the Master Plan for the PVCC campus for new development or,
redevelopment of the campus that was adopted as part of the Blue Ridge
Neighborhood Area B Study. This master plan ensures development occurs
in a manner that is sensitive to Route 20, Interstate 64 and Monticello. This
property is also owned by the State,
.
New development and redevelopment along Route 20 and Avon Street Extended
should be designed in a manner that is sensitive to its location within the
59
Monticello viewshed and designation as Entrance Corridor Roadways. Consider
the following volunteer design guidelines when reviewing development proposals: .
Lighting of ball fields, parking and new buildings should be direct, that is,
not produce a halo effect.
Provide darker color roof treatments and earth tone building colors.
Encourage screening and buffeting of buildings to soften the visual impact
from Monticello.
Break up parking areas through the location of medians and planters.
Maintain or establish a buffer along Interstate 64 to protect the visual quality and
character of the area as seen from the roadway.
Fifth Street/Avon Street Mixed Use
Amendment to the Neighborhood 4 Profile adopted 9/8/2004,
(CPA 2003-02 Fifth Street/Avon Street Community Service/Mixed Use)
[Note: The following language is added to the Neighborhood Four Profile, page 59, Land
Use Plan, in the Comprehensive Plan.]
.
The area located south of the Willoughby residential development and north of Interstate
64 between Fifth Street Extended and Avon Street Extended, accessed via Bent Creek Road,
is designated for Community Service/Mixed Use development. It is intended to fulfill a
"town center" role by providing a commercial and employmentfocal point within
Neighborhoods 4 and 5. Neighborhood Model principles recognize that this area, on a
macro-level, is located in the center of existing residential neighborhoods as well as
planned future residential development areas. Neighborhoods 4 and 5 comprise many of
the characteristics of the Neighborhood Model, with the exception that this area currently
does not have a "commercial center". When developed, it should provide primarily retail
and employment opportunities without precluding a range of uses that may include but is
not limited to commercial, professional ojJice/industrialllight industrial, residential,
live/work, open space and parkland, public amenities and spaces appropriate for such a
commercial center. Compatibility with the scale and character of adjacent and nearby City
and County neighborhoods should be maintained. Because of its location between three
entrance corridors, at the confluence of Biscuit Run and Moore's Creek, this site is of high
aesthetic and environmental sensitivity and importance.
Environmental Protection
A. Several acres of elevated land located at the western edge of Tax Map 76MI, Parcel 2B,
fronting theformer Grand Piano and theformer University Corporate Research Park .
access roads and extending north and south from the Bent Creek bridge along these
60
.
roads contain woodland features considered to be naturalfeatures with significance to
both the site and area. Existing vegetation, especially exemplary specimen or old
growth trees, should be preserved on this tract to the extent feasible. Rockformations
sloping down to the existing roads should be preserved to the extent feasible. The
naturalfeatures described in this paragraph should be preserved as a visual buffer from
Fifth Street Extended and be emphasized in site design.
B. Bluffs and riparian forest along the existing Grand Piano access road/Moore's Creek
corridor should be protected to minimize adverse impacts to the creek from major
grading activity. Low-intensity design should be used to help accomplish this
protection.
C. To the greatest extent possible, streams and stream buffers should be retained and
enhanced in conjunction with the development of the property. Emphasis should be
placed on natural stream channel improvements, such as landscape stabilization and
bioengineering enhancements, to the degraded portions of the existing Moore's Creek
tributary. Where streams are to be disturbed, site development must assure that
downstream properties and habitat are protected through implementation of measures
for water quality and quantity. If crossing and/or filling of the small tributary to the
east of the existing warehouse is essential to development of the parcel, innovative water
59.1
protection management measures should be incorporated into the development.
.
D. A green way along Biscuit Run and Moore's Creek as recommended in the
Comprehensive Plan Greenway Plan should be established. Greenway trails should be
constructed and dedicated at the time of site development.
E. The existing vegetated buffer adjacent to the 1-64 corridor should be preserved and
enhanced where feasible. In addition to its screening function, this green buffer is an
important aesthetic and natural resource that contributes to the appearance of the
corridor.
F. ThejIoodplain area northeast of the conjIuence of Biscuit Run and Moore's Creek
should become public open spacefor a natural area or multi-purposefield or other low-
impact outdoor use.
G. Development of the property should incorporate principles of low impact development
and sustainable design to support and enhance water protection efforts. Impervious
area should be minimized through a site concept that emphasizes complementary uses,
shared parking, and protection of critical resources. In particular, green roof
technology should be considered as an appropriate and effective technology for
managing stormwater on this site.
Transportation
.
H, The City ofCharlottesvi/le, County of Albemarle, Virginia Department of
Transportation, affected property owners, and interested stakeholders should work
together to develop an integrated transportation system to serve the site. As a part of
the integrated system, traffic signal timing and coordination should be improved and
alternative transportation solutions such as Transportation Demand Management may
be necessary. Phasing of development should take place so that transportation .
improvements are concurrent with transportation needs generated by the development.
1. The integrated transportation system should include the necessary improvements,
including roadway improvements, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and site design, to
accommodate mass transportation in an area encompassing the following streets and
intersections: (a) Fifth Street Extended and the Bent Creek Road (linked by a
connector road); (b) A von Street Extended and the connector road; (c) intersections
with the connector road within the subject property; and (d) the connector road.
J. Concurrent with development of the site, a connection from Fifth Street Extended to
A von Street Extended via the Bent Creek Bridge should be constructed (the Alternative
'D' recommended by the Southern Cities report). This connection may incorporate one
or more new roads as well as the existing bridge and former Grand Piano warehouse
access road. This connector road should not be regarded as a replacement or substitute
for the Southern Connector and, as such, should be viewed as one element of the
City/Co untylVD OT regional transportation network. The road should be designedfor
speeds of 35 miles per hour and provide improved inter-neighborhood access within the
Southern Urban Development Areas.
59.2
K. Theformer warehouse access road should become a parkway along Moore's Creek, but .
should not be designed as a major thoroughfare. The road need not be improved with
curbing, but should, to the extent feasible, be confined mainly to the existing travelway
and disturbed area. To avoid additional disturbance to this stream buffer, sidewalks
should not be required on this road. The green way along Moore's Creek is
recommended as a pedestrian alternative.
L. One of the new roads on the site should be designed as a main commercial street
traversing the town center into this portion of the site. The road should have curbing,
sidewalks, street trees, and other Neighborhood Model elements. To accommodate
service traffic primarily, a second new road segment should be considered at the
southern portion of the site.
M. The intersection of existing and new roads with the Bent Creek Bridge should be
designed to avoid or minimize disturbance to the one hundred year flood plain, stream
buffer, and the preserved area located above and to the east of it.
N. Where considered important to the Willoughby residents, construction of a pedestrian
bridge should be considered between the south side of Moore's Creek and the
Willoughby residential property.
Land Use
O. Development within this area should achieve moderate to high levels of density
inasmuch as (a) the existing and planned transportation network, utility, and other
public infrastructure as the capacity to support such development and (b) there is no
.
.
remaining undeveloped land of significant area within Neighborhoods 4 and 5 that can
meet the Comprehensive Plan's Regional Service development criteria. The
continuation of employment opportunities is significant and valuable in this location,
particularly in the eastern portion of the site but also throughout the town center area.
The existing Light Industrial use opportunities available under the current zoning may
be used to support and encourage development offlex space and/or other employment-
oriented uses along A von Street Extended.
P. Development on the site may balance retail with employment-based uses and other land
uses.
Q, Residential, live/work and/or small professional office uses are recommended along the
bluff at the northern edge of the town center area. These uses should be sited to
minimize disturbance to the naturalfeatures described under Environmental Protection
(above). It may be appropriate for such uses to occur as infill opportunities, after the
commercial and retail uses have been established.
.
R. The western commercial area is intended to be a compact, high density area which
mixes retail businesses, services, public facilities and civic spaces. Large footprint retail
of a regional nature may be appropriate in the western portion of the area. Specifically,
the buildings should be oriented to major roads; designed, sized and massed with
consideration for adjacent and nearby smaller uses in the Center and on the larger site;
and parking should be relegated to the greatest extent possible.
59.3
S, The architecture, urban design and landscape treatment of the property should be
carefully integrated to ensure that the visual interest, massing, scale and organization of
the development contributes to the role of the site as a town center and commercial focal
pointfor the Southern Urban Area. The town center area should provide afunctional,
attractive and distinct destination for shoppers, visitors, employees, and residents of the
larger neighborhood with particular emphasis on pedestrian convenience.
Architectural and landscape design guidelines should be prepared to address:
a. The integration of building facades and rooflines;
b. Architectural massing and form of individual buildings;
c. Architectural materials and color;
d. Design of parking areas;
e. Design/landscape treatment of streets and interior travelways, pedestrian, bicycle
and vehicular, including traffic calming;
f Buffers and screening in areas impacted by critical sight lines;
g. Enhancements to preservation areas and open spaces and improvements to
planned public civic and green way areas;
h. Street lighting, sign age and hardscapefeatures;
1. Recreational and civic improvements.
.
In acknowledgment of the size of the developable area, as well as environmental and
aesthetic considerations, a mid-sized big box model is recommended for this site.
Development of "super-sized" big boxes is not appropriate due to the site's relatively
high exposure to three Entrance Corridors, immersed location within older
neighborhoods with established character and scale, and the desire to mix and balance
uses on the site and create a bona fide town center. As a base guideline for maximum
building footprints (excluding garden centers, outside sales and display, awnings,
storage areas and grocery stores), the largest single big box footprint should not exceed .
150,000 square feet. For the purpose of this definition, a grocery store is not considered
to be a big box. Buildings of increased footprint may be considered, subject to
demonstration by the applicant that the environmental impact of such increased
footprint can be offset by (a) design that is sensitive to architectural massing and
quality, (b) building that complements the setting of the larger project, (c) parking and
traffic accommodation that complements building form, pedestrian access, and building
siting, (d) environmental design that enhances existing natural conditions within areas
to be conserved, and (e) a commitment to a project phasing plan that ensures that a mix
of retail uses of varying size and scale will be developed concomitantly with the
expanded big box use.
T. Maximum total square footage of big-box structures defined as those having a greater
than 75,000 square foot footprint (excluding garden centers, outside sales and display,
awnings, storage areas, and grocery stores) is 300,000 square feet. For the purpose of
this definition, a grocery store is not considered to be a big box. If the big-box
structures are developed in a two-story or greater configuration, this limitation may be
adjusted upward.
U, Preference will be given to rezoning proposals that maximize the range and mixture of
uses, along with a phasing plan that assures a mixture of uses and addresses all parts of
the site during the development of the project.
59.4
.
Public Space and Public Facilities/Amenities
V. Provision should be made on the site for transit service and a park and ride facility.
W. At least ten percent of the gross site acreage should be devoted to amenities and 15
percent should be preserved or created as green space. Public amenities can be paved
areas, such as plazas, courtyards or patios, landscaped areas such as parks or water
features and/or natural areas left largely in their undisturbed state. Preserved areas
should count toward both amenity and green space percentages.
.
Neighborhood Five .
Location
Neighborhood Five is bounded on the east by Biscuit Run, on the south by a series of lakes and a
tributary to Biscuit Run, on the west by Route 631, a ridge line and utility easement, the 700 foot
contour, Route 29 and the Interstate 64 interchange and on the north by Moores Creek.
Existing Land Use
Residential _ Neighborhood Five contains an estimated 949 dwelling units and a population of
2,341 people. Nineteen percent (181) of the housing units in the Neighborhood are single-family
attached; eleven percent (110) of the housing units are either townhouses, single family attached
or duplexes; twenty seven percent (253) are multi-family; and forty three percent (405) of the
housing units are mobile homes (July, 1996), Major residential developments include Redfields,
Southwood Mobile Home Park, Mountainside, Country Greene Apartments, Sherwood Manor
and Commons, and Oak Hill Subdivision.
Commercial and Office -Jefferson National Bank's Operational Headquarters (118,980
square feet) and Virginia Power's Headquarters (38,300 square feet) are located in this
Neighborhood. A large hotel is also located this Neighborhood.
Other Land Uses - The UV A polo grounds and Covenant School (located at the old
Mountainwood Rehabilitation Center) are located in the Neighborhood.
.
Environmental Characteristics
The major portion of the area drains east to Biscuit Run, while smaller drainage basins in the
northern part of the Neighborhood drain directly into Moores Creek. Presently, the majority of the
land area is forested. Steep slopes exist along Interstate 64 and to the west of Route 631 and
Sunset A venue. Areas of floodplain exist along Biscuit Run and Moores Creek.
Public Water and Sewer
Water capacity to most of the Neighborhood was improved with the construction of the Avon
Street water tank. However, water lines will need to be extended and additional storage will be
necessary as development occurs in the southern portion of the Neighborhood. A major sewer
interceptor was extended across Interstate 64 with capacity to provide service to this
Neighborhood. Extension of the Biscuit Run Interceptor with capacity to serve the entire Biscuit
Run Drainage Basin is expected.

.
.
Transportation
Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road/Fifth Street Extended) is the major road serving the
Neighborhood. The realignment and widening of this roadway in the northern portion of the
Neighborhood from the City limits to Sunset Avenue Boulevard has provided for a major
development corridor. The portion of Route 631 (Old Lynchburg Road) south of Sunset Avenue
Boulevard has a narrow pavement width and poor horizontal and vertical curves which make
access from some local roads difficult. Walkways exist along one side of the improved portion of
Route 631.
Pu blic Facilities
There are no public facilities in this neighborhood, however, nearby facilities like Walnut Creek
Park, Azalea Park (City), and recreation facilities at Cale Elementary School and PVCC
adequately serve this area. Police response times are adequate for the area, but fire, rescue, and
library services fail to meet the standards in the Community Facility Plan and need to be
improved. This need will continue to increase with continued residential development.
Recommendations
The Regional Service area that is located southwest of the Interstate 64/Route 29
South interchange is to be accessed from the existing frontage road off of Route 29
South. Steep natural drainage swales are not to be disturbed in the development of
this area.
The existing polo club along Route 631 in the central portion of the Neighborhood
that is currently designated Institutional may be developed at a Neighborhood
Density.
The north side of the 1-64/Fifth Street interchange IS subject to the Interstate
Interchange Development Policy.
· Access to the community service area located southwest of, and immediately
adjacent to, the 1-64/Fifth Street interchange, should be limited to the existing
crossovers. Pedestrian access should be incorporated into the site design for the
area. Amended 10/28/98
Construct a greenway along Biscuit Run and Moores Creek. This provides an
opportunity for passive recreation in the Urban Area, Develop the greenway to

Amendment to Neighborhood Five Profile Recommendations (pp. 63-65)
Adopted, 10/28/98 (CPA 1997-02)
Location
(NOTE: new text in addition to text found on JJp. (64-66).7
The Community Service area located southwest of, and immediately adjacent to, the 1-64/Fifth
Street interchange is intended to serve as a commercial/office services center for Neighborhoods
Four and Five and other residential development located south of 1-64. This area is larger than
what is normally associated with Community Service areas. Therefore, the square footage limits
outlined in the Land Use Plan is not necessarily a maximum limit. Expectations for development
of this area include development under a master plan emphasizing:
a village center character, design theme and scale which blend with nearby
residential development; construction materials appropriate for a village center
type commercial district (no metal buildings); a community center function for the
Neighborhood;
mixed use allowing some residential occupancy or conversion thereto;
pedestrian and bicycle access to and throughout the site;
areas of open space/recreation for shoppers and Neighborhood residents;
maintenance of a vegetative buffer along Fifth Street and 1-64;
internalized parking to the greatest extent possible; use of trees and other
landscaping material to minimize visual impact of parking areas (parking orchard
concept);
.
A compatible Regional Services use for the Community Service area can include hotels and/or
motels, provided they have an internal site and building orientation (as opposed to a "motor
court" design), incorporate uses which support the Neighborhood (meeting facilities, restaurants,
recreational facilities, etc.), are compatible in scale to the height of the largest buildings within the
shopping center to the south, and are designed to visually connect and blend with the shopping
center located on the same Community Service site. Service stations are not considered to be a
compatible Regional Service use.
Transportation improvements include:
Roadway interconnection of Avon Street Extended and Fifth Street (the "Southern Connector"),
which would provide access to Interstate 64 and traffic circulation within Neighborhoods Four
and Five. This improvement is needed if the community service area at 1-64/Fifth Street is to be
accessible to residents south of 1-64 and serve as a commercial/office service center.
· When development of the Community Service area at 1-64/Fifth Street occurs, the
following improvements should be constructed:
signalize the Fifth Street/Old Lynchburg Road intersection; .
signalize the Fifth Street/Stagecoach Road intersection, which will be the
66
.
location of a major point of access to this site;
continuous right turn lane from Fifth Street to entrance to site from Old
Lynchburg Road;
Approval of further development along Fifth Street may depend upon the
following improvements to the 1-64/Fifth Street interchange are funded and
construction is scheduled:
signalize of the interchange ramp intersections;
double-laning of the interchange ramps;
possible dual left turn lanes on Fifth Street for interchange ramps.

Neighborhood Six .
Location
Neighborhood Six is bounded on the east by the City limits, on the south by Moores Creek and 1-
64, on the west by the South Fork Rivanna River watershed boundary and on the north by Route
250 West.
Existing Land Uses
Residential - Neighborhood Six contains an estimated 912 dwelling units and a population of
2,112 people. Forty four percent (396) of the housing units in the Neighborhood are single-family
attached; six percent (52) of the housing units are either townhouses, single family attached or
duplexes; and fifty one percent (464) are multi-family (July, 1996). The University Heights
apartment complex accounts for approximately one-half of the dwelling units. Also, a portion of
the University of Virginia housing units are located in this Neighborhood. Major developments
include Ednam Forest, Ednam, Ednam Village, Bellair, and Buckingham Circle.
Commercial and Office - The area along Route 250 West is largely institutional in nature
with the Kluge's Children's Rehabilitation Center; Birdwood Golf Course (owned and operated
by the UVa. Real Estate Foundation); the University of Virginia Police Department; the
University of Virginia Information Center; and a number of smaller offices operated by UVa. .
being located within this Neighborhood. Other non-institutional office and commercial uses are
also located along Route 250 West and large office uses are located in the JPA/Fontaine Avenue
Research Park. Larger retail and office uses along Route 250 West include Townside East Retail
(30,377 square feet) and Ednam Professional Center (20,980 square feet). Large office buildings
that exist in the lP A/Fontaine Avenue Research Park include the Virginia Public Authority
Building (60,000 square feet) and the University of Virginia Health Sciences Foundation Building
(60,000 square feet).
Other Land Uses- The University of Virginia Central Grounds, McCormick Observatory and
Camp Holiday Trails are located within the Neighborhood.
Environmental Characteristics
This area is within the Moores Creek drainage basin. A wide wooded area screens the Route
29/250 Bypass from residential areas between Route 250 West and Interstate 64. Areas of steep
slopes are immediately north and south of Interstate 64 and west of the Route 29/250 Bypass and
Fontaine Avenue.
.
68
.
Transportation
Route 250 West is heavily traveled road and is and it is projected that traffic yolumes along this
roadway '."ill double by 2015. Thc road is hca','ily used by neighborhood residents, commuters,
students and visitors to the University. This road is also heavily used by bicyclists traveling into
the University. Flooding occurs periodically on Route 250 West near its intersection with Old Ivy
R-004 Walkways are constructed on both sides of Route 250 West from Route 29 to Old Ivy
Road. Fontaine Avenue is also heavily traveled. Walkways and a bicycle facility exist along
Fontaine Avenue in front of the Fontaine Avenue Research Park. Also, the Route 250/29 bypass
intersects the Neighborhood.
Public Water and Sewer
Public water and sewer are available in the Neighborhood, with the Morey Creek sewer
interceptor and major water lines running along Fontaine Avenue and Route 250. Water is
provided by both the South Rivanna and Observatory treatment plants. ACSA has identified small
internal system upgrades that need to be completed in order to provide better service to the area.
Pu blic Facilities
Park, police and library service are adequate to the area. Fire and rescue service does not meet
service standards established in the Community Facilities Plan and needs to be improved.
. Recommendations
Development plans along Route 250 West and Fontaine Avenue are to be sensitive
to their status as Entrance Corridor roadways.
Limit the Neighborhood Service designation on Fontaine Avenue west of the
Bypass (Old Route 29 South) to existing zoned land.
· A conservation easement exists on an area located on the western boundary of the
Neighborhood, south of Bellair and Birdwood, north of Camp Holiday Trail and
west of Buckingham ,Circle. This conservation easement prohibits development of
this property (noted as See Text on Land Use Map).
Consider the design and public facility recommendations of the
City/County/University Planning and Coordination Council for the Jefferson Park
A venue/Fontaine A venue "Area B" Study and the Lewis Mountain-University
Heights "Area B" Study.
Transportation Improvements include:
.
\Viden Cross-section improvements to Route 250 West (Ivy Road)to
provide curb and gutter with sidewalk(s) and bikelanes. four lane. As
possible, Implement the other recommendations of the Ivy Road Design
Study. That study recommends a design to make Ivy Road an attractive,
69
welcoming place in which to easily walk, bike, shop, and drive.
Recommendations include separated bicycle facilities, continuous
walkways, raised planted median, landscape planting, relocation of utility
wires, sign guidelines, benches, trash cans, shared parking and
consolidation of entrances.
.
Consider implementing the recommendations of the Fontaine Avenue
Corridor Plan that is outlined in the Jefferson Park Avenue/Fontaine
A venue Area B" Study. Design concepts incorporate many of the same
elements that are recommended for Route 250 West.
Provide a greenway corridor along Moores Creek in the southern portion of
Neighborhood Six. This green way should connect to the Fontaine A venue
Research Park. Also provide additional pedestrian facilities on Old Ivy
Road.
Evaluate the needfor improved transit service to the neighborhood
Provide pedestrian connections from the residential areas in the
Neighborhood to the Fontaine A venue Research Park.
Utility improvements include:
In Bellair and Buckingham Circle, replace the eXIstmg water line and .
replace it with a 6" to 10" line to improve system hydraulics.
In Ednam Forest, loop the existing 6" water line to improve system
hydraulics.
Provide public sewer service to Buckingham Circle, Bellair and Ednam
Forest if public health becomes an issue.
· Locate a new fire and rescue station in this area to service Neighborhood Six and
Seven, the University and Ivy as response times require. The station should be
funded and operated jointly by the City, County and University. The station should
be staffed by volunteers to the greatest extent feasible.
Coordinate with the University on the development of its parcels.
Maintain or establish a buffer along Interstate 64 and the Route 250 Bypass to
protect the visual quality and character of the area as seen from the roadway.

Neighborhood Seven .
Location
Neighborhood Seven is bounded on the east by the City limits, on the South by Route 250 West,
on the west by the South Fork Rivanna watershed boundary and on the north by an area (Westgate
Apartments) just south of Hydraulic Road.
Existing Land Use
Residential- Neighborhood Seven contains an estimated 1,467 dwelling units and a population
of 3,267 people. Twenty four percent (359) of the housing units in the Neighborhood are single-
family attached; twenty percent (298) of the housing units are either townhouses, single family
attached or duplexes; and fifty five percent (810) are multi-family (July, 1996). Large residential
areas include Canterbury Hills, Hessian Hills, Queens Charlotte, University Village, Colonnades
Retirement Community, Hunting Village and Ivy Apartments.
Commercial and Office-The area along Route 250 West is largely institutional in nature with
Kappa Sigma's National Headquarters and the Institute for Textile Technology being located in
this Neighborhood. Also, the University operates a number of uses that are located on Old Ivy
Road (University Print Shop, University Food Center and the Ivy Stacks-see Industrial/Other
Land Use Sections for more information), which are partially visible from Route 250 West. Other .
larger non-institutional office uses are also located on Route 250 West and Route 60 I (Old Ivy
Road). These uses include the Ivy Professional Center (8,918 square feet); Rennolds Building
(Old Ivy Road-l 7,965 square feet); IBM Building (Old Ivy Road-24,289 square feet); the Old
Piedmont Tractor Building (17,186 square feet); Piedmont Tractor Sales & Parts Office (33,717
square feet); and Madison Park Condos (Old Ivy Road-37,972 square feet).
Industrial- The University operates the only industrial uses within the area. They are the Food
Service Center (66,490 square feet) and the University Print Shop (21,207 square feet). Both are
located on Old Ivy Road.
Other Land Uses- A private High School (St. Anne's Bellfield) and the Ivy Stacks (UVa.
library holdings) are located within the Neighborhood. Also, the Farmington Country Club is
located just west of the Neighborhood.
Environmental Characteristics
The neighborhood is divided in half by a ridgeline. The area to the south drains into Moores
Creek, while the area to the north drains into Meadow Creek.

Transportation
Route 250 West is heavily traveled road and is used by neighborhood residents, commuters,
students and visitors to the University and it is projected that traffic volumes ,viII double by 2015
(See Neighborhood Six for further information). Walkways are constructed on both sides of
Route 250 West, from Route 29 to Old Ivy Road. Old Ivy Road has a narrow pavement width and
poor horizontal and vertical curvature, and is heavily used by the student population. Georgetown
Road is also heavily traveled, providing access into Charlottesville and to Albemarle County High
School. Through truck traffic is restricted on Georgetown Road. A narrow asphalt pathway is
located along Georgetown Road. Barracks Road is also located in the Neighborhood.
Public Water and Sewer
Public water is available in the Neighborhood and the area is adequately served. The Meadow
Creek Interceptor will need to be upgraded to adequately serve the Neighborhood as development
continues.
Public Facilities
Park, police and library service are adequate to the area. Fire and rescue service does not meet the
service standards established in the Community Facilities Plan and needs to be improved.
Recommendations
Development plans along Route 250 West are to be sensitive to its status as an
Entrance Corridor Roadway.
Further development along Route 601 (Old Ivy Road) may be limited due to the
road's present substandard conditions.
· No Community Service and/or Neighborhood Service uses are recommended
because the existing commercial services on Route 250 West and in the City
adequately support the area and are easily accessible.
Consider the design and public facility recommendations of the
City/County/University Planning and Coordination Council Lewis
MountainlUniversity Heights "Area B" Study and the FaulconerlBirdwood "Area
B" Study once this study is approved.
Transportation Improvements include:
'Niden Cross-section improvements to Route 250 West (Ivy Road)to
provide curb and gutter with sidewalk(s) and bikelanes. four lane. As
possible, Implement the other recommendations of the Ivy Road Design
Study. That study recommends a design to make Ivy Road an attractive,
welcoming place in which to easily walk, bike, shop, and drive.
Recommendations include separated bicycle facilities, continuous
75
walkways, raised planted median, landscape planting, relocation of utility
wires, sign guidelines, benches, trash cans, shared parking and .
consolidation of entrances.
Consider improving Georgetown Road in a manner consistent with the
recommendations of the Georgetown Road Task Force. Major
recommendations include the reclassification of Georgetown Road from a
major thoroughfare to a two-lane local road status, enforcement of the
speed limit, pedestrian protection at the Terrel Road and Inglewood
intersections, improvements to its intersection with Hydraulic Road,
improvement to the current pedestrian path and restriction of through truck
traffic.
Widen and realign Old Ivy Road. Provide curb and gutter sidewalks and
bikelanes on a 3-lane cross section. bicycle facilities and \valhvays in
conjunction \vith road improvements.
Utility Improvements include:
Upgrades to the Meadowcreek Interceptor.
Drainage improvements to alleviate flooding along Ricky Road.
Locate a new fire and rescue station in this area to service Neighborhoods Six and
Seven, the University and Ivy as response times require. The station should be
funded and operated jointly by the City, County, and University. The station
should be staffed by volunteers to the greatest extent feasible.
.
Coordinate with the University on the development of its parcels.
Maintain or establish a buffer the Route 250 bypass to protect the visuaI quality
and character of the area as seen from the roadway.

Attachment A
Hollymead Community
Location
The eastern boundary of the Community begins at a point on the North Fork Rivanna River just
north of Route 785 and follows Route 785 south to Route 649, east along Route 649 to its 90
degree curve, then southwest to the natural stream boundary of Powell Creek and its tributaries,
then south along Powell Creek to its point closest to the Southern Railway Line, then east to the
Southern Railway and south along the Southern Railway to Route 643. The northern boundary
follows the North Fork Rivanna River to a stream located between the North Fork Rivanna and
Route 29, then Route 29 North to the North Fork Rivanna River, then the North Fork Rivanna
River west to Route 606. The western boundary of the Community follows the alignment of
Route 606 to the airport, where it goes west and south around the airport to Route 743. The
boundary then follows Route 743 to Route 643 and heads east to Route 29 North, then south
along Route 29 to Route 643. The southern boundary of the Community is Route 643 from Route
29 North east to the Southern Railway.
Existing Land Use
Residential- Hollymead contains an estimated 1,597 dwelling units and a population of 4,170
people. Seventy seven percent (1,209) of the housing units in the Community are single-family
attached; seven percent (121) of the housing units are either townhouses, single family attached or
duplexes; six percent (100) are multi-family; and ten percent (149) are mobile homes (JuIy 1996).
Large residential areas include Forest Lakes North and South, Hollymead, Airport Acres, the
Cedar Hill Mobile Home Park, Meadowfields, Jefferson Village and Deerwood Estates.
Commercial and Office- Most of the office and commercial development located in the
Community is along Route 29. Larger uses include Forest Lakes Shopping Center (57,022 square
feet); Forest Lakes Medical Office (24,714 square feet); and the Hollymead Professional Center
(36,000 square feet). Crutchfield Corporation has three buildings (141,384 square feet) that serve
as offices and warehouses.
Industrial- Most of the industrial development in this Community is located along Route 649
(Airport Road) and off Route 606 (Dickerson Road). Larger Industrial uses include MicroAire
(Quail Run - 46,134 square feet); Quail Run Condos (Quail Run - 28,790 square feet); and
Universal Test Equipment (Quail Run - 14,400 square feet).
Major Planned Projects - The U.Va. Real Estate Foundation's North Fork Research Park
located west of Route 29 and north of Airport Road has an approved plan for up to 3,000,000
square feet of industrial, office and retail development.
Other Land Uses- The Hollymead Community contains the Charlottesville-Albemarle County
Airport and a large cemetery.
77
Environmental Characteristics
.
The area is divided into two major watersheds by a ridgeline running along Route 649. Land to
the south of the ridgeline drains into the Powell Creek system which eventually leads into the
South Fork of the Rivanna River. Land to the north of Route 649 drains into the North Fork of the
Rivanna River.
Transportation
Route 29 provides primary north/south access to the community and Route 649 (Airport and
Proffit Road) provides east/west access Route 619 and Route 606 will need to be upgraded in
conjunction with future development.
Public Water and Sewer
North of Route 649
Water treatment is provided by the North Fork Rivanna River treatment plant and storage is
provided by the Piney Mountain storage tan1e The treatment plant has a capacity of 2.0 million
gallons a day. A maximum 800,000 gallons per day can be withdrawn from the North Fork of the
Rivanna. This flow is not adequate to meet the needs of the service area at build-out. To increase
available water supply there are three options available which are discussed in detail in the
Utilities section of this chapter. The method utilized to serve this area depends, in part, on the
ultimate size of the Hollymead Community north of Route 649 and the Piney Mountain .
Community.
Sewer service is currently provided by the Camelot treatment plant. The capacity of the plant is
365,000 gallons per day. This treatment is not adequate to meet the needs of the service area at
build-out. The Albemarle County Service Authority has guaranteed an upgrade of the existing
system once capacity has reached 90%. Options for providing additional service are discussed in
detail in the Utilities section of this chapter.
South of Route 649
Water service is available south of Route 649 from the South Rivanna system. Sewer service is
available through the Powell Creek Interceptor.2
Public Facilities
The Community contains an elementary school and a middle school. Park service is adequate for
the area. Police, fire, and rescue and library services do not meet the service standards established
in the Community facilities Plan and should be improved.
2 Recommended water and sewer improvements for the Hollymead Community entail major
system upgrades. As such, recommendations for this area are outlined in the Utilities section of
this chapter. .
78
.
Recommendations
Hollymead is intended to be a mixed-use community that allows people to live in
close proximity to their workplace, shopping and service areas. A wide variety of
housing types, services and jobs are anticipated. Community-wide automobile
dependence should be reduced by encouraging transit-oriented development and
providing a full range of pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as walkways and
bike paths that connect me residential and transit nodes to the
employment/shopping and service areas.
Provide linkage between neighborhoods within the Hollymead Community
(including nonresidential areas) through the use of pedestrian and bicycle facilities,
greenways/linear parks, roads, and transit alternatives. The emphasis is on linkage
between development areas, not just within each development.
No additional commercial uses are to be established in the southern portion of the
Community on either side of Route 29 from the South Fork of the Rivanna to the
entrance of the Hollymead subdivision.
.
The area west of Route 29 North is intended for industrial and office uses as a
large employment area. It is expected that these uses will be "basic" employment
generators and potentially of a large scale and with an airport orientation. The
Office Service area consists of approximately 25 acres along Airport Road and 40
acres West of the Regional Service area on me West side of Route 29 North. The
balance of the employment generating area is Industrial Service.
Develop all industrial/office areas in a highly sensitive manner that clusters
development in suitable areas and protects environmental features through the
provision of open space. For the area now referred to as the North Fork Research
Park, limit development to 525 acres. Total buildable area shall not exceed
3,000,000 square feet. Development of the entire industrial area shall be pursuant
to an overall planned development under appropriate planned development zoning.
Provide a plan to address historic features located in the area referred to as the
North Fork Research Park to retain historic context and continuity.
All industrial/office areas should be substantially buffered from residential areas.
This is accomplished through the planting of new vegetation and preservation of
existing vegetation. For the area now referred to as the North Fork Research Park,
provide a 50' buffer around the perimeter.
.
The area between the southern boundary of the Development Area and the South
Fork of the Rivanna River is to remain in an open state as a buffer between the
Urban Area and the Community of Hollymead. This boundary is criticaI as it
reserves the distinct identity of the Community from the Urban Area and prevents
continuous development community of Charlottesville to the North Fork of the
Rivanna.
79
.
Protect the North Fork Rivanna River water supply intake area by prohibiting any
development or creation of impervious surfaces within the immediate area which
endangers water quantity and quality.
.
Preserve the stream valleys and their tributary drainage ways, plus adjacent areas
of ste~ply sloping terrain, as an open space/greenway network. This network is
designed to tie into future residential development areas in the Community and is
to be located along the North and South Fork of the Rivanna and along Powells
Creek from the southern portion of Forest Lakes North to the South Rivanna River.
. The Urban Density residential area of approximately 50 acres west of Route 29 is
intended for the location of a mobile home park accommodating a minimum of
100 mobile homes. This area is intended to provide affordable housing in the area
and is intended to be exclusively for the location of a mobile home park for a
period of not less than fifteen years from the start of development. Because of its
proximity to areas designated for commercial and industrial use, new development
shall provide an effective vegetative buffer around the mobile home park.
Consideration should be given to cooperating with, and utilizing, area human
service agencies in providing support services to residents as needed.
.
Zoning action and development of the 50 acre Regional Service area (part of Town
Center) located on the west side of Route 29 across from Forest Lakes North shall
only occur after the development of the Urban Density residential area located
west of Route 29 and south of Airport Road (minimum_of 100 mobile home sites).
Development of this entire commercial area shall be pursuant to the approval of an
overall Development Plan.
.
The Community Service area located at the entrance to the Hollymead subdivision
recognizes the approved commercial area in the Hollymead PUD. While too large
in acreage to be a typical Neighborhood Service area, the scale of the commercial
development is to be in keeping with the residential nature of the Hollymead
subdivision rather than highway uses. The area is intended to meet local
convenience shopping and professional service needs and is to be screened and
buffered from adjacent residential areas.
· Encourage a full range of housing types and costs within the Hollymead
Community. Large employers should work with the Albemarle County Housing
Committee to determine what employee housing assistance programs can be
implemented. Target opportunities for employees at the lower income level and
employees hired locally.
Development plans along Route 29 North are to be sensitive to its status as an
Entrance Corridor Roadway.
.
80
.
An area northeast of the Route 29 North/Route 643 intersection has been identified
by the State as having possible historical and archeological significance. Although
this area has been shown for Neighborhood Density Residential designation,
consideration should be given to acquiring/preserving this area for recreation/open
space purposes.
Transportation Improvements include:
Development of the Mcado'.v Crcck Parkway Northern Free State Road to
provide improved access to the Urban Area and downtown Charlottesville.
Reserve adequate and useable right-of-way for the location of the Meadmv
Crcck Par!n",ay Northern Free State Road in areas of new development.
With final alignment determination, reserve right-of-way, in all areas. Two
access points to the Parkway may be established between Route 29 and the
river at Route 643 and the undeveloped area between Route 29 and Route
643.
Access to Route 29 is limited to three locations for the entire area east of
Route 29 and north of Route 649 (Proffit Road). In addition, the northern
access to Route 29 should be aligned with the future access on Route 29 for
the North Fork Research Park. Access to this area from Route 785 is
prohibited.
.
The RegionaI Service area (part of Town Center) on the West side of Route
29, South of Airport Road, (opposite Forest Fakes North and cemetery),
shall be limited to three entrance locations on Route 29.
Development along Route 29 North is to have controlled access to the
roadway. This can be accomplished through joint entrances, collector roads
parallel to Route 29, and roads internal to the development.
'^.lignment improvements and widening of /\irport Road from its
intersection '.vith Route 29 North to the airport. .^.ccess to this road should
be controlled and minimized to thc grcatest extent possible through the use
of joint entranccs.
Phasing of road improvements necessitated by new development which
increases traffic on Route 649 (Airport Road), Route 606 (Dickerson
Road), and Route 29. This will include the construction of interchanges at
Route29 and Route 649, and Route29 and the northern most access point to
the area now referred to as the North Fork Research Park, once they are
warranted. Necessary improvements should be accomplished by fair-share
contributions from new development.
.
Provide bicycle facilities and walkways in conjunction with all major road
improvements.
81
De','elop alternative modes of transportation Provide transit, park and ride, .
rideshare and transportation alternatives to serve the Hollymead
Community, particularly, large employment generating areas. This may be
accomplished through the partnership between developers of large
employment generating areas and the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO).
Construct a park and ride facility along Route 29 in the HollymeadlPiney
Mountain area.
Recommended improvements along the Route 29 Corridor:
Road design and alignment improvements to Route 29 should be in keeping with
the emerging community consisting of a mix of residential neighborhoods, and
commercial and employment centers. Improvements related to upgrading Route 29
shall be consistent with an overall network of interconnecting roads that balance
the need to serve both the local and regional transportation demands.
· Parallel or adjunct roads east and west of Route 29 should be designed and located
in a manner consistent with other land use and transportation recommendations of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Any system of parallel roads to augment Route 29 should be constructed as an .
urban cross-section design (curb/gutter) with sidewalks and bike lanes. This
creates a system of roads more in keeping with a neighborhood street system and
more consistent with the character of the adjacent neighborhoods.
Recommendations for road design/classification for the parallel roads are taken
from the Albemarle County Neighborhood Model as recommended by the
Development Area Initiatives Study Committee (DISC) Report. Road design
should be an "A venuelResidential Boulevard" or "Neighborhood Street" design on
the eastern parallel road from Polo Grounds Road to Hollymead Drive; a "Main
Street" design on the eastern parallel road from the cemetery to Proffit Road; a
"Boulevard" or "Main Street" design on the western parallel road system
transitioning to "A venuelResidential Boulevard" or "Main Street" south to
Hollymead Drive extended.
The eastern parallel road system should extend to Polo Grounds Road (Route 643).
· The southern end of any western parallel road system should terminate at a
connection with Hollymead Drive Extended.
.
Hollymead Drive and Timberwood Parkway should be designed with grade-
separated crossings of Route 29, without ramps, to connect with the road system
on the western side of Route 29 and accommodate east-west vehicular, pedestrian
.
82
.
.
.
and bicycle movements with the appropriate facilities.
Provide a grade-separated crossing without ramps at Airport Road to accommodate
east-west vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle movements with the appropriate
facilities.
.
Based on development patterns east of Route 29, provide grade separated
bicycle/pedestrian overpasses/underpasses to accommodate east-west movement.
East-west connecting roads should be curb/gutter design with sidewalks/bike lanes
and the design should be "A venuelResidential Boulevard" or "Main Street" design.
In the long term, consider establishing an east-west connection from Route 29 to
Earlysville Road (Route 743) as recommended in CHARTS the Charlottesville
,^.rea Transportation Study (C^, TS) by extending Hollymead Drive to Earlysville
Road. This road location and design should be coordinated with the relocation of
Dickerson Road (Route 606).
Intermediate accesses, without crossovers, to Route 29 should be provided on the
east side between Ashwood Boulevard and Timberwood Boulevard and west side
between Hollymead Drive and Timberwood Boulevard, except one (I) mid-point
access between Hollymead Drive and Timberwood Drive may utilize a new
crossover on Route 29 if warranted by traffic studies and conditions. Given the
current road infrastructure in the of the Town Center, such a crossover is an
important element of the Town Center and is a critical ingredient a
"BoulevardlMain Street" entrance into the development from Route 29. Once the
ultimate network for the Town Center and surrounding environs is in place the
continuing need for such a be reconsidered. (amended 10/4/01, CPA 98-03)
Stop the northern end of the eastern parallel road at Hollymead Drive and access
undeveloped land Hollymead directly from Route 29, without a crossover. This
will avoid significant impact to existing homes Hollymead.
Proffit Road (Route 649) should be constructed with a "Neighborhood Street"
design from Worth Crossing Lanford Hills Drive, including sidewalks and bike
lanes. The section from Route 29 to Worth Crossing be designed in a manner
necessary to accommodate transition to the ultimate improvements to Route 29
Airport Road. A major upgrade of Proffit Road east of Lanford Hills to Route 20 is
not recommended; minimal spot safety improvements may be appropriate in
certain locations.
Re alignment of Route 606 (and Route 713) to meet Federal,^' viation
Administration (F,^.A) safety requirements.
See "Road Improvements, Route 29 Corridor and Proffit Road"
Amendment on page 90.
83
Public Facility Improvements include:
.
Locate a police substation in or near the HollymeadlPiney Mountain area to
reduce response times to the northern urbanized portion of the County.
Locate a joint fire/rescue station in or near the HollymeadlPiney Mountain
area to reduce response times and increase fire and rescue capabilities to
the northern urbanized portion of the County.
Locate a library branch in or near the Hollymead/Piney Mountain area to
serve the northern urbanized portion of the County.
Water and sewer improvements as identified in the 'Utilities' section of this
plan.
The Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, which includes the eXIstmg
facilities, the southern runway, approach zone, and areas east of Route 606
owned by the airport for future expansion and location of airport related
servIces.
Establish greenways along the South and North Fork of the Rivanna and Powell
Creek with connections to surrounding residential and non-residential land.

Hollymead Town Center
Amendment to Hollymead Community Profile Recommendations Adopted 10/10/2001,
(CPA 1998-03, Post Office Land Trust)
INote: new text in addition to text found of pp. 79-82]
The area designated as Town Center west of Route 29 and south Airport Road is
intended as a generally more compact, higher density area containing a mixture of
businesses, services, public facilities, residential areas and public spaces, attracting
activities of all kind. Nearby residential development will be of high enough
densities to support many of these uses.
This designation replaces the previous patchwork of regional service, office
service and industrial service areas in an effort to establish a more unified planning
and development process.
The Town Center should adhere to the following twelve design principles as
further defined in the General Development/Design Guidelines: 1) pedestrian
orientation, 2) neighborhood friendly streets and paths, 3 '). interconnected streets
and transportation networks, 4) parks and open spaces, 5) neighborhood centers, 6)
.
84
.
.
.
buildings and spaces of human scale, 7) relegated parking, 8) mixture of uses, 9)
mixture of housing types, 10) redevelopment rather than abandonment, 11) site
planning that respects terrain, and 12) clear edges.
The Town Center is intended to incorporate features that conserve land, provide a
"critical mass" of uses and achieve a high level of interaction of activities.
Ultimately, it is intended that portions of the Town Center include such features as
wide sidewalls, on-street parking and parking integrated with uses, multi-story
structures and residential uses above commercial and retail uses. Stand-alone
residential is also appropriate in an urban form.
In addition to other applicable recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the
Town Center shall be developed in general accord with the Conceptual Master
Plan & Design Guidelines for the Hollymead Town Center, dated July 20, 2001,
by Daggett & Grigg (the "Master Plan").
General Development/Design Guidelines
The following are general guidelines for the entire area designated as a Town Center In the
Hollymead Community.
85
Land Use and Density
A mix of residential and non-residential land uses shall be provided within the
Town Center, including Urban Density Residential (6 to 34 dulac.), Office Service
Community Service, Public/Institutional uses including parks and greenways, and
Regional Service and compatible Industrial Service.
.
Uses not considered desirable for this area include heavy industrial and
manufacturing uses, and other large land consuming uses, such as warehousing
(including self storage facilities), and auto dealerships.
Commercial and residential development should strive to ultimately achieve higher
densities than those achieved historically. Development in some areas of the Town
Center, particularly in the Mixed Use/Regional Service Area, likely will not
provide as high a density initially or in the foreseeable future as densities
achievable in other areas of the Town Center, but development in_all areas should
be designed so as not to preclude higher densities, through subsequent
redevelopment and/or infill, when the market demographics are such as will justify
and support denser development features, including structured parking and multi-
story retail. The desired overall density for the ultimate build-out of the Town
Center is a FAR of .50. The desired .50 FAR overall density contemplates a net of
all open space, road, street and travel ways, as well as public amenities. Nothing
herein shall be interpreted as limiting the FAR for the Town While it is desirable
for single story buildings to not exceed 65,000 square feet, it is recognized that .
some much larger than 65,000 square feet on one level, such as department stores,
home improvement and supermarkets, are appropriate in the Mixed UselRegional
Service Area (see Master Plan, Figure 14A Issues of bulk, massing and pedestrian
accessibility for all buildings, but particularly for single story stores (65,000 square
feet, may be addressed through various design concepts, such as building
treatments, building orientation and/or other measures, so as to dilute their
appearance as large, boxes and to facilitate subdividing these stores in the event of
the need for re-tenanting with smaller stores.
· A significant residential component should be located within the designated Town
Center area; both with other commercial/office uses and within walking distance
(approx. 1/4 mile from core commercial
· Development of this area pursuant to approval of an overall development plan for
the Town Center is Approval of Development Plans for portions of the Town
Center may be necessary and appropriate in situations, but should be in general
accord with the Master Plan.
.
86
.
Site Design
To achieve the intent of the Master Plan:
All building facades visible from a public road should continue design elements
present on the front of building.
· Buildings should be oriented to streets and parking relegated as addressed in the
Master Plan.
Site development should respect the terrain and use appropriate design techniques
to minimize clearing and grading activities.
Roof design should mitigate the visual impact of larger scale structures and
associated buildings, especially considering the general location of this area along
a ridgeline.
Loading docks, trash collection facilities, outdoor storage and related facilities
should be incorporated building design so they are not visible.
· Metal buildings should not be permitted.
A system of walkways and bikeways should be included in site design.
. Parking:
Parking in excess of that necessary to support individual uses in the Town
Center is discouraged.
Parking should be centralized where appropriate. Cooperative parking
arrangements are encouraged feasible.
On-street parking should be incorporated into road design for categories of
streets where on-street contemplated in the Master Plan.
Large parking areas should be divided into smaller components using travel
ways and median breaks with and other landscaping material used to
minimize visual impacts and heat generated by large areas of pavement.
Minimize parking areas between streets and buildings, as addressed in the
Master Plan.
· EstabIish a landscape edge on the east side of the Town Center along Route 29
consistent with the ultimate design of Route 29 (urban or rural cross-section
design) generally contemplated in the Master Plan.
.
87
Transportation, Town Center Area
.
(See also the Transportation 1mprovement section for specific recommendations for
improvements along the Route 29 Corridor)
Transit service should be provided as soon as operation is feasible and site design
should accommodate future transit service.
All roads should be designed with the intent of providing pedestrian friendly
neighborhood oriented streets. All roads in this area should be constructed as an
urban cross-section, with sidewalks, and street landscaping. Lower design speeds
and minimizing road width (number of through lanes) should be encouraged.
However, on-street parking should be encouraged where appropriate. A system of
bike lanes should be accommodated as generally depicted in the Master Plan,
including all roads, which connect to lands adjacent to the Town Center.
The road network for the Town Center should consist of a system of
interconnected streets forming a network of blocks. The network should consist of
a minimum of two (2) north-south roads with crossing streets creating a block
pattern. Shorter block lengths consistent with the intent of creating a walkable
community should be provided. The desirable block lengths would be between 200
and 300 feet, although.-Ionger block lengths may be permissible based on traffic,
topographic, and/or other site conditions.
The Town Center road network should include connections to Route 29 at
Timberwood Boulevard and Hollymead Drive, and provide for access to Airport
Road at two (2) locations: 1) the furore North Fork Research Park access on
Airport Road; and, 2) a future crossover located just west of the U. S. Post Office
Building.
.
· One mid-point access between Hollymead Drive and Timberwood Drive may
utilize a new crossover on Route 29, if warranted by traffic studies and conditions.
Given the current road infrastructure in the vicinity of the Town Center, such a
crossover is an important element of the Town Center and is a critical ingredient
for a Boulevard/Main Street entrance into the development from Route 29. Once
the ultimate transportation network for the Town Center and surrounding environs
is in place the continuing need for such a crossover may be reconsidered.
The north/south parallel road should be designed as a "Boulevard" or "Main
Street"(as depicted in Figures 4 and 5 of the Master Plan), recognizing that while
carrying a higher volume of traffic, it also serves as an important Neighborhood
Street within the Town Center concept. As such, the road needs to accommodate
pedestrians, cyclists, transit service and contribute positively to the character of the
area. Other streets in the Town Center may be designed as a "Main Street,"
"Avenue," "Neighborhood Street," or "Way" depending on the character
and intensity of development in the area (Master Plan, Figures 5, 6, and 7).
.
88
.
.
.
Pedestrian and bicycle systems and transit access should be provided throughout
the Town Center, with a continuous walkway and travel way provided from
Airport Road and Route 29 North.
.
Pedestrian activity is encouraged. Sidewalks on both sides of streets built ten (10)
feet wide or greater should be provided in high-density areas, with four (4) feet
minimum width on some streets elsewhere as contemplated in the Master Plan.
A park and ride lot should be established near the Town Center area.
· A network of subsidiary cross streets linking all major roads in a street block
system should be established throughout the larger site. Linkages shall be made to
existing developed areas where possible (Deerwood, Forest Springs).
Grade-separated vehicular crossings of Route 29 are recommended at Timberwood
Boulevard and Drive. Bicycle/pedestrian facilities shall be provided as part of
grade separated crossings to provide connectivity between the east and west sides
of Route 29. These should be Iocated at or near Boulevard and Hollymead Drive.
Sidewalks and bike facilities shall also be provided to link to facilities along
Airport Road as contemplated in the Master Plan.
Public Space and Public Facilities/Services
Open space, recreation areas and public spaces shall be provided to serve patrons,
employees, and residents. DeveIopment of public open space/features such as a
public square, traffic circles, and "pocket park(s)" should be provided throughout
the Town Center area.
A greenway shall be established along the stream forming the western and
southern boundary of the To Center and should include walking and bike trails and
other features/amenities. These greenway trails should extend across Route 29 to
link to the residential areas east of Route 29 and ultimately to proposed greenway
along Powell Creek.
.
The Community Facilities Plan indicates a need for a public library and police
substation in the
Community. The Town Center may be a desirable location for these and other such
public facilities.
Space shall be made available for a recycling center (not counted against square

Attachment A
Village of Rivanna
As Amended May 15,2002, CP A-OI-03
Location
The Village of Rivanna is located east of the City of Charlottesville and south of Route
250 East. The southwestern boundary is formed by the Rivanna River. The western
boundary is formed by an unnamed stream just east of Camp Branch. The northern
boundary is formed by Route 250. The eastern boundary is formed by the eastern
ridgeline of the drainage area for Carroll Creek and Route 808.
Existing Land Use
Residential- Rivanna Village contains an estimated 506 dwelling units and
approximately 1355 people. Ninety-nine percent (502) of the homes are single family
units. There are three single family attached units and one mobile home within the
Village (August 2000). Almost all of the residential development is located in the
Glenmore development.
Commercial/Office- Two businesses are located in the Village. While no other
commercial uses exist in the Village, there are currently three country stores located
along Route 250 between Route 22 and the County line. In addition, the Village is
located approximately four miles from a major shopping center and other commercial
areas on Pantops Mountain (Urban Neighborhood 3).
Other Land Uses- A golf course is located in the Glenmore Development. Stone
Robinson Elementary School is located just west of the Village off Route 729. Clifton,
which now serves as an inn, is listed on the Virginia Register of Historic Properties and is
also, located on Route 729 near the Village.
Environmental Characteristics
The area is largely wooded with open spaces along Route 250 East and adjacent to the
Rivanna River. As the Village develops, it should continue to be orientated toward the
river, rather than Route 250. There is extensive floodplain along the Rivanna River,
Carroll Creek and other streams. Along the Rivanna River exist the ruins of the canal
connecting Charlottesville to the Kanawha Canal, which runs along the James River.
Water and Sewer
Water and sewer service is adequate to the area. Water service was extended to Rivanna
Village from the Urban area as part of the Glenmore development. The waterline along
104
Route 250 was sized adequately to serve the entire Village. Glenmore was developed
with a wastewater treatment plant on Carroll Creek that has a capacity of 385,000 gallons
per day and is sized appropriately to serve the Village.
.
Pu blic Facilities
A fire station is located in the Village. An elementary school IS located west of the
Village. Public Facility service is adequate to the area.
Recommendations
Environmental and Historic Protection
. Preserve as open space the extensive floodplain and critical slopes along the Rivanna
River, Carroll Creek and other streams. Provide a greenway along the Rivanna River.
Protect the unique scenic and historic characteristics of the river with the
development of the Village.
. Areas north of Interstate 64 have historic/scenic significance to the County and region
(including possible designation as a Rural Historic District and have large acreage in
an Agricultural/Forestal District). To preserve and protect these resources, do not
expand the Village boundaries north of U. S. Route 250 East, west of Route 22, nor
south of the Rivanna River.
Transportation
.
. Provide interconnections between existing development and areas to be developed in
the Village of Rivanna.
· Provide several points of access from Route 250 East into the Village that help to
create an internal road network for the Village so that properties that front Route 250
may have access to Route 250 through the internal road network.
. Evaluate the needfor transit service to the Village. Also consider the opportunity
and need to provide a park and ride lot to serve village residents and commuters on
the Rt. 250/1-64 corridor.
· Provide for pedestrian and bicycle access throughout the Village.
· Upgrade Route 250 East to improve traffic safety and circulation in the area. Many of
the necessary improvements are described in the Route 250 East Corridor Study.
Improvements should:
Provide the minimum level of improvement necessary to support anticipated
development along Route 250 East from the eastern city limits to the County
line.
Be designed to minimize the visual impact adjacent to historic properties and
sites including Monticello and the Southwest Mountain Historic District.
Provide a traffic signal at the intersection of Route 250 East and Glenmore
Way when warrants are met.
Be provided by both the public sector and private sector to ensure that existing
.
105
.
traffic needs are met as well as future traffic needs generated by proposed
developments are met.
Be streetscaped in strategic locations to improve the character of the corridor,
especially at or near the 1-64 interchange and along the commercial strip of
development between 1-64 and the railroad crossing.
Have landscaped medians where median strips are necessary.
Minimize lighting at intersections and be installed to meet the County lighting
ordinance for down-shielded lights.
Provide bicycle facilities and, where appropriate, walkways in conjunction
with these upgrades.
Provide mass transit, where feasible, to the Village of Rivanna.
Land Use
The Village of Rivanna should meet the functional description of Villages as described
on pages 12 - 14 of the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan. To meet this intent,
residential and mixed-use areas with commercial activity are expected.
Areas shown as Neighborhood Density
· Should continue to be developed at a density of 3 - 6 dwellings per acre.
Areas shown as Community Service
. · Are intended to be developed as a compact, higher density residential area with a
mixture of retail businesses, services, public facilities, and civic spaces.
· May have residential density of up to 6 dwellings per gross acre in addition to the
non-residential uses. This density can be increased if the non-residential square
footage decreases.
· Should contain:
.
- A grid street system of interconnected roadways which are neo-traditional as
characterized by narrow widths, on-street parking, curb, gutter, sidewalks, and
street trees.
- Street connections to both Glenmore Way and Route 250 East.
- A "main street" with retail and office buildings.
- A variety of housing types
- Housing that provides opportunities for all age groups, including senior
housing and housing for all socioeconomic levels to live in the Village of
Rivanna.
- Non-residential uses, mostly in small commercial, office, retail and
restaurant/inn uses. Total commercial, office, retail, and service square
footage should not exceed 240,000 square feet for the Village. Automobile
repair and self-storage areas are not considered to be appropriate uses to this
Community Service area.
- Commercial uses interior to the Village rather than "highway oriented" uses
along Route 250.
106
- Mass, scale, and architectural detailing of buildings that provide for a "human
scale" development that supports pedestrians.
- A well-integrated pedestrian system, including sidewalks and paths.
- A fire station located either on Route 250 or interior to the Village.
- Other civic buildings including schools, churches, community centers and
public offices located within the Village.
- A variety of park and recreational amenities including open space appropriate
to the residential needs of the Village.
.
· In addition to density of 6 dwellings per acre and 240,000 square feet, of
nonresidential space, the area may have nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
· Are to be designed and developed in general accord with the design for the Rivanna
Village at Glenmore prepared by the Cox Company on March 6, 2001 2/26/02 and
pages 4 - 7 and 17 - 19 of the Application for Comprehensive Plan and Land Use
Map Amendment dated March 6, 2001 with the following exceptions. No
commercial uses are to take place on the property adjacent to the most eastern
entrance from Route 250 East. The large vacant area shown with trees at the comer
of Route 250 East and Glenmore Way should may be available for development with
internal access but no direct access from Route 250 East or Glenmore Way. No retail
use of this area is allowed.
· Should be developed in a manner that is sensitive to its location within Monticello's
viewshed in accordance with the Monticello Viewshed Guidelines for Developers.
· Should be developed in a way that minimizes adverse impacts on residential
properties adjoining the Community Service area by preserving mature vegetation,
having residences abut adjoining residential properties, use of buffering, screening
and berming and use of wide buffer strips.
· Should have parking that is
- Not in excess of that necessary to support individual uses in the Community
Service area is discouraged.
- Shared with other uses whenever possible.
- Located in ways to minimize visual impacts and heat generated by large areas
of pavement
- Buffered and screened from neighboring residential properties in areas shown
as Neighborhood Density using a combination of techniques such as including
landscaping, screening, fencing, or berming.

Appendix (B) - Rural Area Transportation Long Range Plan
Transportation Study - Albemarle County
Albemarle County
The major transportation goals for Albemarle County's rural areas are to preserve rural
character while improving safety and mult~modal transportation choices. Residents
suggested leaving the rural roads as they are whenever possible, focusing on road safety
improvements such as shoulders and guardrails, straightening curves, and increased regular
maintenance, rather than paving and widening rural roads. Road improvements should
support intended growth, as indicated in the County Comprehensive Plan, and not encourage
growth outside of designated development areas, as well as provide access from farms to
markets along strategic routes. Rural roads have multiple purposes and benefit from design
that keeps drivers alert and moving at appropriate speeds to react safely to slower moving
farm equipment, bicyclists, people checking the mail, or children walking to a bus stop.
Roadway Improvements
Primary roads are the main routes of travel, even though many are still two-lane country
roads. UnJAM participants requested paved shoulders, which improve safety for motor
vehicles and for bicycles and pedestrians without dramatically altering the road character.
Primary roadways should accommodate both large and slow moving vehicles, with bridges
and railroad crossings wide enough for safe passage.
Turning vehicles often create safety issues and contribute to congestion. Primary roads
should have turn lanes at highly used intersections (or roundabouts, as appropriate), and a
limited number of intersections to reduce these problems. Intersections should be clearly
visible and well-marked to reduce confusion, and designed to allow safe movement. In
.
Paved Shoulder on Route 20 Paved Shoulder on Route 29
developed areas, access management becomes more important, and reducing the speed
limit can help improve safety for turning vehicles. The intersection of 250 and 240 is an
example of an intersection in need of access management and re-alignment.
.
Primary routes that connect urban areas and rural communities, such as Crozet and
Scottsville, should be enhanced with paved shoulders for maximum safety and mult~modal
usage. This has been completed for a portion of Route 20 and is very effective.
In Scottsville, the intersections of 20 and 726,6 and 726, and 6 and 20 may be improved
with roundabouts, and Route 20 can be improved with a median at the foot of the bridge.

Albemarle County has developed a master plan for future improvements in Crozet. The
Crozet Plan includes a connection between Route 250 and Route 240, interconnected
neighborhoods, bicycle and pedestrian friendly streets, trail connectors, and dense, mixed
land uses complemented by open spaces. The connection to Mint Springs along Route 684
should be improved for cyclists and pedestrians. Almost all improvements are slated for
Routes 250 and 240, preserving the village-like environment of the community.
Primary roads, especially those in rural areas, should retain scenic qualities where possible.
Designation of roads as scenic byways will help in future efforts to protect their character.
Existing and intended scenic roads include Routes 6, 53, 22, 20, 231, and 240.
.
2
.
New roads requested in Albemarle County include the 240/250 connector in Crozet and a
possible Town Council-desired Scottsville Bypass. If built, these roads should be two-lane to
retain rural character.

The major concern on secondary roads is safety. Creating adequate operating space and
controlling traffic speeds and motions can improve safety dramatically. Paved shoulders
provide more vehicular operating space and offer a recovery zone, improved sight distance,
and space for slow moving vehicles, without vastly altering the road character. Bicycles,
emergency vehicles, school buses, and pedestrians can all benefit from this design. This is
recommended along key highly traveled secondary roads, like Garth Road.
.

The ability to see danger ahead and react accordingly depends on visibility. Regular
maintenance of roadside vegetation can help keep sight lines clear. Reflectors in the
roadway centerline and reflective paint along the edge improve visibility in dark and rainy
conditions, and is recommended along highly traveled roads and on curvy sections of most
roads. Additionally, the number of access points should be minimized and limited to those
necessary to provide safe and convenient access.
.
Intersections should have particularly clear visibility for safety. The angle at which two roads
intersect and the topography affect sight lines. An intersection with roads at right angles
improves sight lines. Vegetation, signage, parked cars, utilities, or other obstacles should not
block sight lines. Intersections in need of traffic controls may be served by a roundabout,
which helps preserve rural character better than a traffic signal, while increasing safety and
capacity of the intersection. Intersections recommended for safety improvements are 810
and 789, 671 and 655, and 732 and 762.
Lowering speed limits can improve traffic safely while allowing roads to keep their basic
shape and character. Changing the speed limit of a roadway requires local and state study
and approvals, and is primarily appropriate where roadways pass through rural villages.
Any roadway requiring construction should be protective of environmentally sensitive areas.
Improvements needed in fragile areas should receive careful scrutiny and provide protective
measures to eliminate ecological, environmental, and aesthetic concerns.
VDOT's Rural Rustic Road program is a less costly and more environmentally friendly
alternative to Pave-in-Place, and allows more miles of road to be paved at substantially less
cost. By using existing road widths and geometry for road improvements, rather than
increasing road widths, the goal of preserving the County's rural scenic resources would be
more obtainable.
.
Control arms, narrow road
Wider road for safe passage
Designation of a road as a Scenic Byway protects the corridor from unsightly signage and
promotes tourism. More secondary roads should have this status in the County. Routes
810, 614, and 712 are good candidates for scenic byways in Albemarle County.
.
4
.
Railroad crossings should be wide enough for all travelers, and have control arms. Routes to
study for railroad crossing improvements include Routes 679, 744, 641, 602, 708, 640,
642, 611, and 1310.
Trucks carrying agricultural goods, such as fruits from orchards and cattle, as well as logs
from lumber operations, use many rural roads in the County. Safety and capacity
improvements can benefit truckers and all users, while protecting rural agriculture economy.
In rural towns, at crossroads, and in neighborhoods with higher levels of pedestrian, bicycle,
transit, and truck traffic, context-sensitive design solutions can maintain through capacity
while increasing safety and accessibility. Traffic calming is an effective tool, particularly at
rural crossroads, near schools, and in neighborhoods. VDOT has a traffic calming program,
and streets which meet their standards are candidates for bulb-outs, median islands,
roundabouts, and speed tables.

Transit, Walking & Biking, TOM
JAUNT service is available to Albemarle residents. JAUNT's fixed route service provides
regularly scheduled service primarily for commuters. Increasing the frequency of service,
and adding more routes over time can help alleviate commuter congestion and make this
service more convenient. All of JAUNT's vehicles are equipped with bike racks. JAUNT can
stop at Park and Ride lots to add another level of service. Park and Ride lots should be
increased in number, especially along Route 250, expanded in size where demand is
growing, and improved with better waiting facilities (e.g. lighting, benches, shelter).

.
Jaunt service and park-and-ride lots can be linked for better, more convenient commuting options

Passenger train service may, in time, help alleviate traffic congestion and may be able to use
existing rail lines. The CSX tracks could provide useful passenger train service from, for
example, Staunton, Waynesboro and Crozet to Charlottesville and on to Fluvanna County and
Richmond. The Norfolk Southern tracks can carry TransDominion Express trains, and may be
useful as a local commuter route. Stations should be created where appropriate, particularly
in designated growth areas.
.

.
.
Railroad improvements and express bus service could offer more long-distance trip choice
The mult~modal function of roads promotes pedestrian and bicycle safety and usage in rural
towns, neighborhoods and where pedestrians and bicyclists must share the road. Paved
shoulders or shared use paths on major roads and in strategic locations enhance pedestrian
and bicycle travel.
Recommended pedestrian and bicycle improvements include:
Complete the Town of Scottsville's sidewalk and trail system and implement traffic
calming strategies.
Expand Crozet's sidewalk and trail system as recommended in the Crozet Master
Plan. Improve Rt. 250 crossing at schools.
Improve neighborhood streets and build additional trails in Earlysville.
Implement traffic calming in Batesville and provide paved shoulders for walking and
biking.
Pave shoulders throughout County on Route 250 and designate it as a primary bike
route.
Finish paving shoulders throughout the County on Route 20 and add signage for
bicycles.

and outdoor tourism activities.
Rural Bicycle Lane
Walking along the road
Trail systems are planned for local use, to get around communities and crossroads safely, or
to experience natural settings for recreation. Long distance trails may eventually connect
communities across the County. Some options for trails include old railway beds, floodplains,
and expanded rights-of-way in road corridors. Many roads have a power and phone line
pathway, generally adjacent to the road and clear of trees, which could be used as an off-
road trail corridor, especially if the utilities are placed underground.
Areas recommended for trails and mult~use paths include:
Garth Road, where a mult~use path could provide connections to White Hall and
Crozet, for both bikers and walkers, and improve the BikeCentennial 76 route
Crozet, which could use local trails, improvements to Bike76 to connect with Afton
tunnel, and a Route 250 trail connection to Ivy and Charlottesville

Centralized school bus stops and shared mailbox areas help ease congestion, improve
safety, and maximize use of resources. If children were provided safe routes to a central
collection point for their neighborhood, street, or other community, they could all meet the
bus there. Safe routes to a bus stop can be achieved with a trail, walkway, paved shoulder,
sidewalk, and/or crosswalk. A bus pullout could be created at the gathering point for safest
boarding and unloading conditions. This eases congestion by reducing the number of bus
stops and providing a space for the bus to allow cars to pass after children are on board. If
mailboxes for these residences are also placed in a central area, the mail deliverer would
receive the same safety and congestion improvements as the school bus driver, and
residents could use similar safe routes to travel safely to and from their mailboxes. This may
only be possible in areas with concentrated residences.
Travel Demand Management (TOM) strategies such as RideShare, Guarant eed Ride Home,
School Pool, and commuter information can be effective in rural areas and help to reduce
congestion. Park and Ride lots support programs such as RideShare and rural transit by
providing a central location for meeting to share rides or to board transit.
.
Policy and Codes
Transportation systems should support County land use policies and goals. The County
supports infill and development of land in designated growth areas, both to provide adequate
living for residents who desire services, and to take pressure off rural areas, which are
designated for agriculture and resource protection. Existing crossroads that provide service
within reach of residents of rural areas can be enhanced with public facilities such as
schools, emergency stations, and transit, and improved for people traveling on foot and
bicycle. However, it is important to meet safety concerns
along rural roadways providing the impetus for more land
development in these areas.
Improvements to existing roads and the construction of
new roads should be provided by private developers when
the development makes these improvements or new
roads necessary. Only those roads requested by residents
should be paved, leaving as many roads gravel as
possible to prevent further enticement to growth and to
reduce transportation costs. Rural Road design standards
should be established, or allow VDOT Mountainous Road Rural Landscape
standards to be used on more roads.

Attachment B
Jefferson Area Bicycle. Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
Albemarle County
This plan represents Albemarle County's priority pedestrian and bicycle projects for the first quarter
of the twenty first century. The intent of this plan is to ensure the safety and comfort of all roadway
users, particularly within and connecting developed and developing areas. Albemarle County has a
wide variety of community types and settings, and may benefit from many facility types across the
spectrum.
Existing Conditions
Bicycle
Bicycle usage has become increasingly prominent in Albemarle County both for transportation and
recreational purposes, particularly for the urban and student population in and around the City and
University, and for weekend cyclists throughout the County. Bikeways currently exist on roads such
as Hydraulic Road, Rio Road, 5th Street/Old Lynchburg Road, and along Fontaine A venue. Trails for
mountain biking are located at Walnut Creek, Ragged Mountain, Ivy, Mint Springs, and Darden-
Towe parks, as well as Observatory Hill near the University. Bike racks can be found at some
shopping centers and schools, and tourist destinations, like Ash-Lawn along the TransAmerica Trail.
The urban area has challenges due to the large size of roads and high volume of traffic, whereas rural
areas may suffer narrow roads and high-speed traffic.
Pedestrian
The urban area of Albemarle County has the majority of the locality's pedestrian facilities, which
include sidewalks along Route 29, Rio Road, and Hydraulic Road, as well as some along
neighborhood streets and trails. While a majority of the walkways in the County have been
constructed by the private sector in conjunction with land development and VDOT, several have been
constructed through County efforts, including walkways on Whitewood Road, Old Brook Road, and
Greenbrier Drive. Some asphalt facilities, separate from, but adjacent to roadways, exist along
Georgetown Road, Fontaine A venue, Avon Street, Fifth Street Extended, and Old Lynchburg Road.
The rural communities of Scottsville and Crozet have sidewalks. Outside of the urban area and small
rural communities, public walking infrastructure is nearly non-existent.
Local Plans and Ordinances
Comprehensive Plan
Albemarle County has a significant amount of pedestrian and bicycle language in its Comprehensive
Plan (1996-2016). This includes a desire to "develop a transportation system which employs a
variety of modes, including the provision of walkways and bicycle facilities", and recommends a
review and update of subdivision, zoning, and site plan codes to ensure future development occurs in
a bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly manner. Other ideas in the plan include establishing a fund for
improvements and aligning land use with transportation. Pedestrian and bicycle access
improvements are planned to complement and enhance the mass transportation system by improving
access to bus stops and places of economic activity.
Albemarle County
Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
In 1991, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors adopted the Bicycle Plan for the City of .
Charlottesville and Albemarle County as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan (published under
separate cover). This plan recommends locations and designs for development of a bicycle network.
Routes designated in that plan cover much of the County, and are included in this plan.
In 2001, the County adopted the Development Initiative Steering Committee (DISC) report, aimed at
determining what style and pattern of development is appropriate for County development areas, also
known as the Neighborhood Model. The relevant text of that report follows:
The Neighborhood Model proposes a walkable community, with sidewalks and paths provided in new
development and a variety of destinations within a five-minute walk for residents. Pedestrian
orientation requires a high degree of coordination among the other principles. All elements - density,
building placement. street and path connections, and mixture of uses -- must be designed with
pedestrians in mind. The result should be a walkable community that reinforces all of the other goals
for the neighborhood.
Pedestrian orientation, by definition, is designing neighborhoods at a human scale. Walking is
convenient only when all of the elements of development fit the proper dimensions. A true test of
walkability is when children can safely walk or bike to school or activities rather than being driven.
Another test is the ability of someone to walk to work. Providing sidewalks is only one part of the
picture. Streets must also be connected to offer various routes. Density is needed to provide
destinations. Siting parking lots behind buildings gives pedestrians a shorter and safer approach. Trees
along streets and in parking lots provide shade and make walking comfortable. Mixed uses place
destinations in walking distance of residents. Paths and open space make walking safe and pleasant. As
the list below shows, the entire form of the neighborhood determines whether people will find walking
useful and pleasant.
In addition to streets, pedestrian paths and bikeways can interconnect areas. They do not have to be
vehicular in nature. For example, as shown in the section on parks and open space, open space
corridors can link neighborhoods to each other and to other sites. Bus and train routes also provide for
connection and, when used, reduce reliance on the single-occupancy vehicle.
.
PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED NEIGHBORHOODS
The following techniques are offered to achieve the goal of having pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods
that let residents walk to work, to friends' homes, to parks, to shopping, and to cultural centers.
Suggested application of Sidewalks:
-Sidewalks should be provided along all vehicular thoroughfares except high-speed, limited access
highways.
-Sidewalks should typically be separated from the roadway by a planting strip, except in commercial
areas.
-Sidewalks should typically be provided on both sides of a street, except where there is no
development along one side of the street or where topography or vegetation precludes provision.
-Sidewalk widths vary, depending on their use.
Greenways are discussed in the Natural Resources and Cultural Assets, Open Space Planning section
of the Comprehensive Plan (1999). Albemarle County's objective is to: "Establish a Countywide
network of greenway trails for conservation, recreation, transportation, and education throughout
Albemarle County, and linked to trails in the City of Charlottesville". The plan describes a 52 mile
system of Class A (paved, urban trails which allow bicycles) and Class B (dirt surface, pedestrian
only) trails, and includes details of proposed corridors, which are shown on the maps in this
document. Maintenance, funding, an advisory committee, and partnership issues are also discussed. .

. Area and Special Plans
The Town of Scottsville Comprehensive Plan (I 999) calls for pedestrian oriented commercial growth
in the downtown area and development of walking paths to enhance scenic attractions. It also
supports needed improvements to the Town's transportation networks and encourages VDOT to
include walkways and bikeways in future road improvements. Particular emphasis should be given to
connecting the downtown area to the uptown commercial center with walkways and bikeways, and to
connecting both to Paulett Town. With a school nearby and elderly residents, the town recognizes
the need for pedestrian mobility. Scottsville has a historic walking tour which should be enhanced
with proper walking facilities where needed. The recently opened Canal Basin Square project
includes a walk along the river levee from downtown to Dorrier Park, and the Scottsville Historic
Streetscape enhancement project is improving walkways in the main part of downtown.
The Crozet Master Plan (2004) includes
The Pedestrian-Obstacle Study (I 985-] 988) recommends walkway improvements as well as specific
recommendations for improving or installing streetlights, crosswalks, signals, intersection channels,
signs, bus stops, and other roadway improvements. The Route 29 Pedestrian Study includes
recommendations for the urban area of Route 29, north of Charlottesville to Airport Road. The Real
Accessibility Study (I998) performed by TJPDC identifies measures to improve bicycle and
pedestrian connectivity to services. Each of these studies focuses mainly on the urban portions of the
County.

Albemarle County
Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
Related Ordinances
Albemarle County's Subdivision Ordinance (1998) requires sidewalk on one or both sides of the road
in developments of2 units/acre or more, and commercial/industrial areas where necessary.
.
Albemarle County's Zoning Code (1998) seeks to minimize vehicular/pedestrian conflicts at entry
and parking areas, has sign regulations to ensure pedestrian safety, and concrete requirements for
sidewalks.
Specifically, section 32.7.2.8. spells out County requirements for sidewalks:
"Provision shall be made for sidewalks and pedestrian walkways which will
enable pedestrians to walk safely and conveniently between buildings on the site
and from the site to adjacent property. When feasible, pedestrian underpasses or
overpasses are to be encouraged in conjunction with major vehicular routes.
Provision shall be made where appropriate for pedestrian walkways in relation to
private and public areas of recreation and open space such as schools, parks,
gardens, and areas of similar nature. Connection shall be made wherever possible
of walkways and bicycle ways with similar facilities in adjacent developments.
All sidewalks and curbs and gutters proposed to be accepted for maintenance by
the Virginia Department of Transportation shall be built in accordance with
construction standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation and shall
conform to the provisions of section 15.2-2021 of the {County} Code. All other
sidewalks and walkways shall conform to section 15.2-2021 of the {County}
Code and shall be of material, specifications and design approved by the county
engineer. Sidewalks and pedestrian walkways may be required on one or both
sides of streets to the reasonable satisfaction of the commission or the agent in
residential subdivisions of a proposed density of two (2) or more dwelling units
per acre and in commercial and industrial developments whenever determined
that the same are reasonably necessary to protect the public health, safety and
welfare and that the need therefor is substantially generated by the proposed
development."
.
The Town ofScottsville's Zoning Ordinance (1996) requires traffic patterns which minimize hazards
to pedestrian traffic, encourages pedestrian access through parking areas to commercial buildings,
prohibits any sign which "obstructs free or clear vision, or otherwise causes hazards for vehicular,
bicycle or pedestrian traffic by reason of location, shape.. .". The site plan section of the ordinance
(24.11.2.7) specifically describes sidewalk standards, including inter-building, parcel, and
development access, facilities in public and school areas, and possible requirements on both sides of
the street in developments of2 lots per acres density or more.
Samples of bicycle and pedestrian friendly ordinance language can be found in Appendix G.

(routes not in the existing 1991 plan are in bold)
Generally, any road or street in the urban area or a designated development area should be
considered for bicycle facilities, since these areas will have the densest population and
commercial, social, and cultural activity.
Bike Route 76 should be a priority since it is an advertised biking route, and generally has more
bicycle traffic than other rural routes.
Connections with transit and Park and Ride lots should be a priority in the plan. Railroad
crossings in pedestrian areas or on bicycle routes should have paved shoulders for multi-modal
safety. Routes 679, 744, 641, 602, 708, 640, 642, 611, and 1310 would benefit from this improvement.
If paved shoulders are provided for bicyclists, they can utilized by pedestrians in narrow rights-
of-way, where a sidewalk or trail would be difficult to build.

Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
Rural Area
.
Proposed primary rural bicycle routes include those roads that radiate out from the urban area as well
as some outlying roads that connect to create a system. These routes will connect to the major rural
communities ofScottsville, Crozet, Earlysville, and North Garden, and to surrounding counties.

654 Barracks Road
743 Earlysville Road / Advance Mills Road
810 White Hall Road / Brown's Gap Tpk. / Dyke Road
(routes not in the existing 1991 plan are in bold)
Proposed new Albemarle County roads that should have bicycle facilities include: Meadowcreek
Parkway, Timberwood Parkway (1720), Worrell Road, and the A vonlFifth Street Connector.
In the Town of Scottsville, Valley Street (Route 20), Main Street (Route 6), Bird St. (T-1301), .
Warren St. (T-1302) and Page St. (T-1303) are proposed for improved bicycle facilities.
In Crozet, bike routes are proposed along Three Notched Road (240), White Hall Road (810),
Rockfish Gap Turnpike (Route 250), and the TransAmerica Trail.
Albemarle County policy provides paved shoulders along primary roadways when they are re-paved.
This is creating bicycle facilities along sections of major corridors, which will eventually connect
together.
In western Albemarle County, the TransAmerica Trail utilizes Routes 614 and 601 which both
contain high traffic volumes. The possibilities of facility improvements along these roadways are
low due to limited rights-of-way. Because of this, the high potential for bicycle/vehicle conflict will
continue along this bicycle route. A recently completed consultant study recommends that routes 677
(Old Ballard Road) and 678 (Decca Lane) or 636 (Batesville Road) be used rather than 614/601.
Missing signs along the route should be replaced.

Jefferson Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Plan
Pedestrian Plan
Pedestrian facilities typically include sidewalks and crosswalks, as well as trails and paths, traffic
signals, road shoulders, curb extensions, median islands, lighting, benches, and other amenities.
Sidewalks should be at least 5 feet wide and be separated from the roadway by two feet or more. Sidewalks should have
nearby trees for shade and rain protection. Entries into shopping centers need improvements to help carry pedestrians
from the sidewalk along major roads up to store fronts. Crosswalks should have curb cuts and can be enhanced with curb
extensions and median or "porkchop" islands. School crossings should be especially safe, and may include a ] 5m mph
speed zone, and a crossing guard during student arrival and departure hours.
Major residential areas without sidewalks or trails should install them where needed, especially along collector roads.
New roads, such as Hillsdale Extd. and the Crozet Connector, should have walkways on both sides and safe crossings at
intersections. New commercial developments, like the proposed Albemarle Place and Hollymead Town Center, should
include full pedestrian access.

.
Off-road connections between residential areas, services, natural areas, parks, and points of
interest can be provided using greenway trails. These can be located inside a road corridor, like
the Georgetown Road path is, or away from roads, as the Rivanna Trail is. Most trails are
planned for very localized use, to get around communities and crossroads safely, or to experience
natural settings for recreation. Long distance trails may eventually connect communities across
the County. Some options for trails include old railway beds, floodplains, and expanded rights-
of-way in road corridors.
Trails can be multi-modal, to allow walkers and bicyclist, and even horses where desired.
Depending on use requirements, trails can have either soft or hard surface. The facilities should
be separated from the roadway to provide maximum safety and room for movement, but also
integrate with on-road bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Links to natural areas and parks are
another use for trails, which can also be used as buffers to protect water and wildlife. Not all
trails should be paved, and some should be for general public use while others would serve more
exclusive neighborhood trails.
Property owner consent is necessary before developing trails on non-public right-of-way.
Residents have expressed a desire for more multi-use trails separated from the road rather than
concrete sidewalks. This allows for more safety, and a much more pleasant walking experience.
Major roads have a utility line pathway, generally adjacent to the road and clear of trees, which
could be used as an off-road trail corridor, especially if the utilities are placed underground.
Cooperation with adjacent localities should continue to ensure that trails complement each other
and connect well.
.
Proposed urban area trails include:
. Avon Street Extended from Stoney Creek Drive to Mill Creek Drive.
. Route 20 north from Fontana to Route 250
. Barracks Road from Georgetown to Garth
. 5th Street extended from City Limit to C.O.B. South/Old Lynchburg trail
. Key West subdivision to Darden Towe Park
. Dunlora to Pen Park
. up to Ragged Mountain reservoir
. Biscuit Run
. Morey Creek to City (Redfields area)
. Riverrun
. Glenmore
. along the Rivanna
. bridge over the Rivanna to connect Darden Towe and Pen Parks
. near the Rivanna reservoir
. along Moore's Creek,
. along the Route 29 utility west side corridor
. along the Route 250 Bypass corridor
. along the east side of Forest Lakes and Hollymead (Powell's Creek).
. Redfields to Fontaine
.
.
.
.
Proposed Rural area trails include:
. along the James and Rivanna River corridors (both forks)
· Garth Road to White Hall and Crozet, improving the BikeCentennial 76 route
. Earlysville area - connecting to Airport Road
. Crozet: local trails, and connection with Afton tunnel and C-ville
. Jacobs Run
. Along Owensville Road
· Old Warren Railroad, which connects Alberene and Schuyler to the James River
· Improved connections to the Appalachian Trail
. Warren to Schuyler
. Ragged Mountains
Crozet
Crozet has a solid network of walks upon which to build a complete system, and the master plan
calls for more walkable neighborhoods. Much of the sidewalk on main roads is buffered from
the road, with good potential for tree planting. A number of stores, churches, and restaurants
have walkways to their door. The stop light in the center of Crozet has pedestrian controlled
timing and crosswalks in place. The asphalt walks under the train trestle downtown with
concrete curbs separating them from the roadway provide an alternative to concrete sidewalks.
.
The shopping center on 240 needs a better pedestrian entryway. There is a no parking sign
obstacle in front of Crozet Country Club Store that could be relocated. Cracked or crumbling
walks and overhanging vegetation create difficulty and should be treated. The library entrance
could be more pedestrian friendly. Curb cuts are needed at many locations.

The Crozet community is bisected by large roads and the railroad, and so crossings are important
to keep the community cohesive. Future trails and streets may provide need for additional
crossings. Crossing improvements recommended in the Crozet area include:

Bicycle facilities should be put on 240 (Crozet Avenue), Jarman Gap, and 8]0 in the
development area, and through neighborhoods and on trails, where appropriate. Trails for
bicycles parallel to existing roads or railroads could be built along Rai]road A venue to connect
the community with Mint Springs Park and the Crozet Tunnel which should be open for trail use
in the future.
Traffic calming and proper road design can make streets safer for all users, whether or not
specific facilities exist, and this a part ofCrozet's overall community plan.
A greenways-trails network should serve as an armature for both the preservation of natural
riparian resources and to serve as a connected network for pedestrian movement, as well as to
help foster a sense of community and civic pride. Most proposed trails follow streams including
Slabtown Branch, Powell Creek, Lickinghole Creek, Parrot Branch, and the Beaver Creek
Reservoir, and are located within the ] OO-foot buffer area. Connections to parks, schools, and
other community facilities are also proposed. Where possible, the system will tie into town
travel facilities, including sidewalks and bike lanes. Trail types and surfaces will vary by terrain,
setting, and expected use. Eventually a community group similar to the Rivanna Trails
Foundation could be set up to operate the system in Crozet.
Town of Scottsvi lie
.
The sidewalks in the older downtown area of Scottsville are wide and shaded along Valley Road
(Route 20) and Main Street (Route 6), and are less common and pleasant on side streets. There
are benches, trees, trash cans and other amenities that make walking enjoyable. Side streets have
light and calm traffic, and pedestrians are generally comfortable walking in the road.
A pedestrian connection to the shopping district in the northwest part oftown is the first priority.
This could be made along Route 20, or by using side streets like Harrison, Mountain View,
Warren St. and James River Road to separate pedestrians from heavy automobile traffic on
Routes 20 and 6. Either sidewalks or trails could fulfill this need. A connection to Paulett Town
along James River Road would be helpful.
Some street signs in Scottsville are planted in the roadway, not the sidewalk. This option might
be explored in other areas with sidewalk obstacles. Older sidewalk surfaces are in need of some
repaIr.
Sidewalks
Safe and direct sidewalks are necessary for creating a pedestrian-friendly environment. They
provide connections to residences, public facilities and commercial services, as well as a place
for pedestrians to interact and take part in various community activities. Sidewalks should be
wide enough to accommodate movement and amenities such as lighting, landscaping, and street
furniture. Suggested sidewalk widths for a downtown area range between 8-12 feet, 6 feet of
which must be clear from obstructions. Furthennore, every block of a main street needs places
to sit, such as benches, low walls, or wide steps. Benches should face towards buildings or each
other rather than the street to provide a more pleasant view. Buffering the sidewalk with trees
separates pedestrians from the adjacent roadway and provides protection from sun and rain. This
makes the sidewalk area a more attractive and comfortable pedestrian experience.
.
Downtown Scottsville already contains wide sidewalks with landscaping and furniture. The
town is undergoing a streetscape project to improve the downtown pedestrian environment.
Beyond the downtown, sidewalks needed to complete the Town's network include:

Street Crossings
Safe crossings of roads are necessary to provide pedestrians with full access to all parts of town.
Curb extensions are recommended in downtown Scottsville at the intersection of:
. Route 20 with Mountain Vista Rd., Warren St., Clements St., and Bird St.
. Route 6 at South St. and Ferry St.
. Warren and Harrison
Enhanced crossings are recommended on:
. Route 20 at Main St., Bird St., Clements St., Warren St., and Mountain Vista Rd.,
. Route 6 West at 726 and 20,
. and on Route 6 east at Ferry Street and South Street.
Trails
In Scottsville's rural setting, trails provide an appropriate solution for pedestrian and bicycle
connectivity as well as for recreation and tourism. Recommended trails follow:
.
the James River (incl. Levee Walk) to Totier Creek Park, Hardware River WMA,
and Hatton Ferry,
Mink Creek from Route 20 to Paulett Town, using sewer alignment
James River Road
Mountain Vista Road
High Meadows, Hayman and Baldwin A venue,
Jefferson Street to the Confederate cemetery, and
connect the shopping center to the elementary school.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The proposed town by-pass, ifbuilt, should include walkways on the bridge and a multi-use trail
along its length, town-side for easiest local access.

( State~ Local Officials Face Looming Health - Care Tab
Rule Requiring Disclosure
Of Obligations to Retirees
Could Force Painful Choices
By DEBORAH SOLOMON
A looming accounting change is forc-
ing state and local governments to fess
up to something that's been lurking on
their books for years: Many have made
costly retirement health-care promises
without planning how to pay for them.
Under a new accounting rule, govern-
ments soon must start recognizing their
long-term obligations to pay for retirees'
health benefits-and, for the first time,
pUblicly disclose what it would cost each
year to fund that liability.
For many governments, the promised
amount is likely to be sizeable enough to
prompt big changes such as cutting re-
tiree benefits, borrowing money and di-
verting tax dollars from other spending
priorities-or risk a credit-rating down-
grade that could significantly boost bor-
rowing costs. Estimates of obligations for
some states range from $500 million to as
much as $40 billion.
"This is going to be a big jolt to many
state budgets, and this problem is one that
is not immediately resolved," said Cecilia
Januszkiewicz, secretary of Maryland's
department of budget and management.
In many ways, the problem facing
state and local governments mirrors that
which has faced some companies, espe-
cially in labor-intensive, unionized indus-
tries such as autos and steel, which made
big promises on pensions and health care
that they ultimately couldn't afford to
fund. Many governments are expected to
respond in much the same way as corpo-
rations, which have slashed benefits
since being forced in 1990 to recognize
their retiree health-care obligations in fi-
nancial statements.
But the dilemma for governments
may be even thornier. Most states are
legally required to provide some form of
employee and retiree benefits for govern-
ment workers, and changing or doing
away with those benefits usually requires
legislative action. While some local mu-
nicipalities have more flexibility to
change benefits, others must work
through their state legislatures. In con-
trast, most pUblic companies can easily
trim benefits, especially those with weak
or no union representation.
Cutting benefits for government work-
ers is especially tough given that many em-
ployees a.re protected by strong unions
that will challenge any such efforts. While
unions representing workers in the pri-
vate sector have lost significant clout, the
municipal and state unions remain quite
strong. Additionally, while public compa-
nies can fall back on the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corp., which insures corporate
pension funds, for some ofthe burden, gov-
ernments have no such option.
So far, no state or local government
has actually defaulted on any of its bene-
fit plans. And the new rule doesn't re-
quire governments to set aside any
money to fund the long-term obligations-
only to report what those obligations are.
But the change will shed new light on
their long-term liabilities. And credit-rat-
ings companies have told governments
they expect the retiree health-care liabil-
ity to be dealt with in some fashion.
"We're looking to see that governments
don't ignore it and look to control the
growth of the obligation," said Richard
Raphael, an analyst with Fitch Ratings,
How the ratings agencies respond wilJ
have big consequences for local and state
governments, which borrow heavily f!'OllI

.State, Local Officials Face Looming Health-Care Tab Under New Rule

the public markets and need to maintain
good ratings to keep borrowing rates low.
The accounting change will affect
most big governments starting in fiscal
2008. which generally begins on July 1.
2007. It stems from a rule passed last
year by the Government Accounting Stan-
dards Board, the independent advisory
board that sets accounting standards for
state and local governments.
With less than two years until the rule
takes effect. governments already are
~crambling to determine what they've
promised to pay for retiree health care
over the next 30 years-and how to fund
that liability. Until now, health-care bene-
fits have been recorded on a pay-as-
you-go basis, with budgets reflecting
only the actual expense of benefits paid
to employees and retirees each year.
Some already have gotten a taste of
the bad news. Last month, Maryland
disclosed a retiree-health-care liability
of $20 billion, and said it must put aside
$1.6 billion annually to fund the obliga-
tion. That's about 13% of the state's $12
billion general fund and comes on top
of the $770 million Maryland shells out
each year to pay for employee and re-
tiree health-care benefits.
Ms. Januszkiewicz said the $20 billion
obligation was much higher than the $3
billion to $5 billion officials had been an-
ticipating, and will force the state to
make some hard choices.
"When I got the number I was in
shock," said Ms. Januszkiewicz. adding
that "there are a limited number of things
we can do." A task force created by the
state General Assembly earlier this year
is examining the obligation and will make
recommendations on how to deal with it.
The change comes at a time when
many state and local governments al-
ready are struggling with other costs,
such as fully funding their employee pen-
sion plans, which face shortfalls of as
much as $300 billion nationwide. Some
are still recovering from the recession
Scaling Back?
State and local governments are looking to
curb escalating retiree health-care costs,
which will come Into view as the result of a
pending accounting change. Here's a look at
what several states are dOing to respond to
their long-term health-care liability:

month's worth
of retirement
medical coverage
early this decade, which dented capital-
gains and income taxes and caused a
shortfall in revenue. In fiscal 2002, states
suffered their steepest revenue drop
since the Depression, said Mr. Raphael.
"States are coming off their worst fis-
cal crisis in decades." said Sujit Canaga-
Retna. a senior fiscal analyst with the
Council of State Governments. "They're
not really flush with funds and it's still a
dire revenue picture as far as expendi-
tures needed down the road."
Indeed, the situation is similar to the
problems facing government-employee
pension plans. Officials often promised
big benefits but failed to set aside
enough money to fund them, preferring
during the I990s to focus on outsized in-
vestment gains which eventually disap-
peared. The city of San Diego, for in-
stance, is facing a $1.1 billion pension
shortfall in part because of agreements it
made to sweeten benefits in exchange for
reduced payments into the pension fund.
The problem has been years in the
making. State and local governments be-
gan heavily expanding in the I960s for a
number of reasons, including the need
for more schools as the Baby Boomers
grew up and a heavier load of federal
mandates, such as the 1965 Medicare law.
As the number of employees grew. so did
the cost of providing them benefits.
At the same time, the strength of pUb-
lic employees grew in tandem with the
power of the American Federation of
State. County and Municipal Employees,
which represents pUblic workers. By the
end of 1965, AFSCME had won collective-
bargaining rights in several states,
which translated into better and more
generous benefits. And even with some
recent cutbacks. costs are expected to
swell over the next few years as the Baby
Boomers begin to retire and collect both
pension and health-care benefits.
For local officials, the latest dilemma
could mean taking some politically unpop-
ular stands. In Nevada. a proposal by
Republican Gov. Kenny Guinn to discon-
tinue retiree health-care benefits for any
state government employee hired after
July I, 2006, ignited a firestorm.
The proposal was estimated to save the
state $500 million per year, but the state's
employee union lobbied aggressively to
scotch the legislation, and it failed in the
Democratic-controlled state assembly. Ne-
vada has estimated its retiree-health-care
obligation to be as high as $4.4 billion and
says it will need to put aside about $200 mil-
lion annually to fund the liability.
Scott Mackenzie, executive director
for the State of Nevada Employees Associ-
ation. said unions understand that gov-
ernments need to cut costs, but that end-
ing benefits will turn people away from
civil service, where robust benefits often
make up for lower salaries.
"Government attracts people because
they have a bit of a cushion there when
they retire," said Mr. Mackenzie.
Other states have been unable to
reach consensus on how to address the
liability. A committee established earlier
this year by Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann
Minner. a Democrat, explored various
ways to address the state's estimated $3
billion obligation and the $185 million it
needs to set aside annually. The commit-
tee looked at a range of options, includ-
ing reducing the state's agreement to
pay 100% of health insurance for retirees,
but was unable to agree on a plan. "With-
out exception, the options presented to
the Committee included difficult and un-
avoidable policy trade-offs," the report
concluded. "There are no straightfor-
ward 'win-win' solutions."
Some governments are opting to sell
,jebt to finance their health-care obliga-
tion_ For instance, Gainesville, Fla., is-
sued bonds earlier this year to help fi-
nance its $30.6 million liability.
Others are trimming benefits, despite
the political ramifications. The city of
Arlington, Texas, recently did away with
retiree health benefits for any employee
hired after 2006 and trimmed the percent-
age of health-care costs that the city cov-
ers. Arlington Chief Financial Officer
Donna Swarb said the moves cut the
city's health-care obligation to $150 mil-
lion from $196 million. However, a more
eontroversial plan to charge premiums
based on age wasn't adopted and the city
is still facing costs that Ms. Swarb called
"unmanageable. "
Alabama, utah and Ohio also have
taken steps to scale back benefits, includ-
ing raising health-care premiums for re-
tirees and increasing the length of time
employees must work before being eligi-
ble for retiree health care.
Other states. sllch as California and
New York, have yet to officially deter-
mine their liabilities but policy watchers
and credit-ratings analysts expect those
numbers will be significant. Some have
predicted that California's obligation
could be $40 billion or more. The state
controller's office has requested money
from the governor and Legislature to per-
form an assessment of the liability.
COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE

The County of Albemarle appreciates the opportunity to speak in the Moving Virginia Forward town
hall meeting.
As with many Virginia localities, Albemarle County faces numerous transportation challenges that
are fundamental to the healthy growth and development of the community. The County is proud of
its emphasis on planning that first links land use with transportation. Such projects as the current
Places 29 Master Plan exhibit this strong commitment to such a planning approach. The County
further recognizes that the provision of transportation services must be approached
comprehensively through a multi-modal approach and funding must be prioritized based on that
planning in the 6 Year Secondary and Primary Plans, the Capital Improvement Program and the
general operating budget. This approach falls short in implementation, however, without the
appropriate tools to achieve concurrency between growth and transportation system improvements.
It is for this reason that the enabling of Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances and Impact Fees is
so important. Such tools more equitably tie all new growth, whether by-right development or
development resulting from re-zonings, to the timely provision of the public facilities that support it.
Furthermore, the enabling of local revenue producing mechanisms for transportation and state
transportation funding formulas for localities should favor those localities that substantively build
their planning programs around the land use-transportation link.
Unfortunately, the current situation is that the Charlottesville Albemarle area is experiencing a crisis
in transportation funding that will have a severe impact on our quality of life if it is not addressed
soon. Traditionally, the State has funded almost all local transportation projects, principally from gas
tax and sales tax revenues and federal allocations. A combination of construction and maintenance
inflation and stagnant revenues has drastically reduced State funding for new and even ongoing
construction projects. Costs for projects have increased almost 100% in the last two to three years,
according to Bill Cutler, a preliminary engineering manager for VDOT. This year, only about 29% of
the State transportation budget will go toward construction, with 46% spent on maintenance and the
rest on debt service and administration. If present trends continue, in 2015 there will be almost no
funds available for new projects.
Our area is in the Culpeper Transportation District, which faced budget cuts of $125 million last year.
In 2000, Albemarle County's primary road allocation was $8,500,000, and its secondary road
allocation was $4,900,000. This year those allocations are $2,250,000 and $3,700,000,
respectively. Twenty-five percent of our secondary road allocation is required by law to be spent on
unpaved road projects, which leaves the County with $2,775,000 for all paved secondary road
projects. We don't spend that money each year; we allocate it to projects until the necessary funds
have been accrued to construct a project.
The County needs a consistent and dependable level of funding from VDOT for the Board of
Supervisors to effectively plan for the future. The City of Charlottesville, County and VDOT, working
through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), have adopted a long- range transportation
plan which identifies more than thirty road, transit, pedestrian and bicycle projects which need to be
completed in that time period to avoid this deterioration. Supports for the initiatives above would
allow the Charlottesville-Albemarle area to construct these 30 projects.
The County supports the following options to payfor these regional transportation priorities:
· Keeping the revenue sharing match to remain at $1,000,000.
· For the Commonwealth to provide localities with bondable streams of revenue so that
projects can be accelerated, reducing the inflation factor.
· Federal and state funding-currently generated primarily through gas taxes- should continue
to be the major source of transportation project funding. The new funding should be
allocated to priority transportation projects with more equitable formulas, intended to return
the full amount raised in any given region for identified priority inthat region.
· Due to the possible decline of gasoline use over the long term, the state needs to look at
other sources of revenue.
· Standing authority should be granted by the state that would allow localities to raise/enhance
taxes through local referenda. ~ (\1)'1\'~ l~\i:~~\ ty/l'1t'/UV 1''' do;-/r.5)- ;/C of>,'h ~~ ?
· The Commonwealth should allow localities more flexibility to use existing and future project :, {
'IV \.
funding for local priorities. /ut
· The Commonwealth should consider mechanisms that can be implemented state-wide to) (\'
assist localities in generating additional funding. For instance, an amendment to Title 15.2 f1/'
could permit counties, like cities, to issue transportation district bonds without referenda.
· Commonwealth funds should be available to match all local funds. If localities are expected
to generate additional revenue for transportation projects, those funds should have a state
match that is guaranteed and bondable.
· Two options could provide revenue to service bonds issued by a City/County Transportation
District, each require legislative approval- local state tax and local gas tax. The imposition
of a sales tax or gas tax should be contingent on being approved by the voters in local
referenda, and would cease after 10 or 20 years unless further action is taken, i.e. a sunset
proVIsion.
Finally, the County strongly endorses the reappointment of Butch Davies to the Commonwealth
Transportation Board. Butch has been a strong advocate for our area and has made himself
available to us on request over the past four years.
