ORDINANCE NO. 04-A.1(2)
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND APPENDIX A.1, ACQUISITION OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
PROGRAM, OF THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE, VIRGINIA
BE IT ORDAINED By the Board of Supervisors of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, that Appendix A.1,
Acquisition of Conservation Easements Program, of the Code of the County of Albemarle is amended as
follows:
By Amending:
Sec. A.1-110 Application and evaluation procedure.
APPENDIX A.1.
Acquisition of Conservation Easements Program
Sec. A.1-110. Application and evaluation procedure.
Each application for a conservation easement shall be processed as follows:
A. Application materials to be provided to owner. The application materials provided
by the program administrator to an owner shall include, at a minimum, a standard application
form, a sample deed of easement, and information about the ACE program.
B. Application form. Each application shall be submitted on a standard form prepared by
the program administrator. The application form shall require, at a minimum, that the owner: (i) provide
the name of all owners of the parcel, the address of each owner, the acreage of the parcel, the Albemarle
County tax map and parcel number, the zoning designation of the parcel, and permission for the program
administrator to enter the property after reasonable notice to the owner to evaluate the parcel and for the
county assessor or an independent appraiser to appraise the property; and (ii) state his adjusted gross
income for the three (3) prior tax years, as explained in section A.1-111(B). The application form shall
also include a space for an owner to indicate that he volunteers to have the parcel be subject to greater
restrictions than those contained in the standard sample deed of easement, and to delineate those
voluntary, additional restrictions.
C. Additional application information required by program administrator. The program
administrator may require an owner to provide additional information deemed necessary to determine: (i)
whether the proposed easement is eligible for purchase; and (ii) the purchase price of the easement.
D. Submittal of application. Applications shall be submitted to the office of the program
administrator. An application may be submitted at any time. However, applications received after
October 31 shall be evaluated in the following year.
E. Evaluation by program administrator. The program administrator shall evaluate each
application received and determine within fifteen (15) days whether the application is complete. If the
application is incomplete, the program administrator shall inform the owner in writing of the information
that must be submitted in order for the application to be deemed complete. When an application is
deemed complete, the program administrator shall determine whether the parcel satisfies the eligibility
criteria set forth in section A.1-107 and, if it does, shall determine the number of points to be attributed to
the parcel by applying the criteria set forth in section A.1-108. The program administrator shall then rank
each parcel scoring at least fifteen (15) points, with the parcel scoring the most points being the highest
ranked and descending therefrom, and submit the list of ranked parcels to the ACE committee.
4
F. Evaluation and ranking by ACE committee. The ACE committee shall review the list of
ranked parcels submitted by the program administrator and shall rank the parcels in the order of priority it
recommends the easements shall be purchased. The committee shall then forward to the board of
supervisors its recommendation of which conservation easements should be purchased.
G. Evaluation and ranking by board of supervisors. The board of supervisors shall review
the list of ranked parcels submitted by the ACE committee and identify on which parcels it desires
conservation easements. The board shall then rank those parcels on which it will seek to purchase
conservation easements. Nothing in this appendix shall obligate the board to purchase a conservation
easement on any property that meets the minimum number of qualifying points.
H. Appraisal of conservation easement value. Each conservation easement identified by the
board of supervisors to be purchased shall be appraised either by the county assessor or by an
independent qualified appraiser chosen by the county. Each completed appraisal shall be submitted to
the program administrator and the owner. The program administrator shall forward each appraisal to the
appraisal review committee, which shall review each appraisal and make recommendations thereon to
the board of supervisors.
I. Requirements and deadlines may be waived. Any requirement or deadline set forth in
this appendix may be waived by the board of supervisors if, for good cause, it is shown that exigent
circumstances exist to warrant consideration of an otherwise untimely application, or it is shown that the
requirements unreasonably restrict the purchase of an easement. Under these circumstances, the board
may purchase a conservation easement at any time it deems necessary and subject to only those
requirements it deems appropriate.
J. Reapplication. An owner whose parcel is not selected for purchase of a conservation
easement may reapply in any future year.
(Ord. 00-A.1(1), 7-5-00; Ord. 02-A.1(1), 12-11-02; Ord. 04-A.1(2), 12-8-04)

The Owner hereby voluntarily proffers that if the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors acts to
rezone the portion of tax map parcel 059D2-01-00-01500 that is zoned R-1 Residential to Highway
Commercial, and the portion of tax map parcel 07500-00-00-06300 shown as Parcel “X” containing 1.774

successors and assigns shall develop the Property in accord with the following proffers pursuant to
Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and pursuant to Section 33.3 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. These conditions are voluntarily proffered as part of the requested
rezoning, and the Owner acknowledges that (1) the rezoning itself gives rise to the need for the
conditions; and (2) such conditions have a reasonable relation to the rezoning requested.
In the event the request is denied the proffers shall immediately be null and void and of no further
force or effect. If the zoning is granted, these proffers and conditions will supersede all proffers now
existing on the Property.

Plan shall not be construed to prohibit the realignment of the 14 existing outdoor tennis courts, subject to
existing provisions of the Albemarle County zoning ordinance, provided that the courts remain in the area
marked “14 Existing Outdoor Courts” shown on the Development Plan. The Owner will break up the
massing of the proposed improvements by dividing them into multiple segments and/or structures (or
creating the appearance of multiple segments and/or structures with a terraced roof line) and
then locating the different segments and/or structures at various final elevation levels, all as reasonably
possible given the Property’s site constraints and applicable regulations and ordinances. Unless
specifically referenced on the Development Plan, or otherwise referenced in this proffer statement, all
other plans and illustrations submitted as part of the Owner’s rezoning materials shall be deemed
illustrative only, and such plans and illustrations shall not be deemed proffers. The Owner reserves the
right to develop the Property in phases, as shown on the Development Plan.

being rendered dangerous to the health of persons living in the county, and is supported by the findings of

activities;
2. protect the safety and welfare of citizens, property owners, and businesses by minimizing
the negative impacts of increased stormwater discharges from new land development and
redevelopment;
3. protect against and minimize the pollution and eutrophication of public drinking water
supplies resulting from land development;
4. control nonpoint source pollution, erosion and sedimentation, and stream channel
erosion;
5. maintain the integrity of existing stream channels and networks for their biological
functions, drainage, and natural recharge of groundwater;
6. protect the condition of state waters for all reasonable public uses and ecological
functions;
7. provide for the long-term responsibility for and maintenance of stormwater management
facilities and best management practices;
18
8. facilitate the integration of stormwater management and pollution control with other
county ordinances, programs, policies, and the comprehensive plan; and
9. promote the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources.

aquifer testing as required by subsection (B).
B. After the program authority approves the aquifer testing workplan, the owner shall conduct
aquifer testing as provided in the workplan.
C. The owner shall submit a final groundwater management plan and a groundwater
assessment report complying with the requirements for such a report in chapter 5 of the design standards
