with U.S. Route 29, or (ii) can demonstrate during the site plan review process, through
traffic analysis acceptable to the Director of Community Development and VDOT, that
additional traffic from such buildings, when aggregated with the traffic generated by the uses
for which certificates of occupancy have been issued for buildings in Phase 1, will not cause
the Hydraulic Road/U.S. Route 29 intersection to fall below an acceptable level of service.

ATTACHMENT 8
Albemarle County 2012 Legislative Priorities
Growth Management, Land Use and Transportation
Biosolids—Request legislation enabling localities, as a part of their zoning ordinances, to designate and/or
reasonably restrict the land application of biosolids to specific areas within the locality based on criteria
related to the public safety and welfare of its citizens and the environment. In addition, support legislation
regarding land application of biosolids that protect the environment, public health and safety.
Local Authority—Support legislation to 1) strengthen localities’ authority by enabling them to utilize
adequate public facilities ordinances; and 2) not pass legislation that preempts or circumvents existing local
authority to regulate land use.
Impact Fee Authority—Support impact fee legislation that allows for 1) a fair allocation of costs
representing a “pro-rata” off-set of new growth on public facilities; 2) impact fees for facility costs related to
transportation, schools, fire, police, emergency medical services, libraries, stormwater management, open
space and parks/recreation lands; 3) effective implementation through simple locally-based formulae and
reasonable administrative requirements; 4) does not cap or limit localities’ impact fee updates; and 5) does
not diminish the existing proffer system.
Conservation Easements—Support legislation that augments local efforts in natural resource protection
through 1) continuing to fund the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) for locally established and
funded Purchase of Development Rights programs (e.g. ACE Program in Albemarle County); 2) continuing
to provide matching funds to localities for their Purchase of Development Rights programs through the Office
of Farmland Preservation; 3) retaining provisions in transient occupancy tax legislation so that funds can
continue to be used to protect open-space and resources of historical, cultural, ecological and scenic value
that attract tourism; and 4) increase incentives for citizens to create conservation easements.
Scenic Protection and Tourist Enhancement—Support enabling legislation for Albemarle County to
provide for a scenic protection and tourist enhancement overlay district. As the County pursues options to
protect the visual quality of land as an aesthetic and economic resource, this legislation would provide a
method to ensure full consideration of visual resources and scenic areas when the County makes land use
decisions in designated areas.
Transportation Funding—Support legislation to 1) establish stable and consistent state revenues for
Virginia’s long-term transportation infrastructure needs; 2) direct funding efforts at all transportation modes;
3) coordinate planning for transportation and land use, being mindful of local Comprehensive and regional
Transportation Plans when planning transportation systems within a locality; and 4)strongly oppose any
legislation or regulations that would require the transfer of responsibility to counties for
construction, maintenance or operation of new and existing secondary roads.
Health and Human Services
Comprehensive Services Act (CSA)—Request that the legislature assist localities’ implementation of CSA
in a consistent, financially stable manner by: 1) fully funding the state pool for CSA with allocations based on
realistic anticipated levels of need and a cap on local expenditures for serving a child through CSA; 2)
enhancing state funding for grants to localities to create community-based alternatives for children served in
CSA; 3) establishing state contacts with CSA providers to provide for a uniform contract management
process, improve vendor accountability and control costs; and 4) encouraging the state to be proactive in
making service providers available and to support local and regional efforts to address areas of cost sharing
among localities by procuring services through group negotiation.
Child Care for Low Income Working Families—Request that the legislature provide additional funds to
local governments to assist low-income working families with childcare costs. This funding helps working-
class parents pay for supervised day care facilities and supports efforts for families to become self-sufficient.
Local Department of Social Services (LDSS)—Request that the legislature increase funds for LDSS to
match all available federal dollars to assist LDSS staffing needs in order to meet state mandated services
and workloads.
Local Government Administration and Finance
Voting Precincts—Request legislation to eliminate split precincts to the extent possible. The Virginia
Senate and House of Delegates redistricting plans have created split precincts in the Jack Jouett, Rio and
Rivanna Magisterial Districts. The Jack Jouett precinct is split between the 17th and 25th Senate Districts in
21
three places. The Woodbrook precinct is split between the 17th and the 25th Senate Districts. The Free
Bridge precinct is split between the 57th and 58th House Districts; and the Stony Point precinct is split
between the 17th and 25th Senate Districts.
Full Funding of State Mandates—Request that the state budget provide full funding for its mandates in all
areas of local government including the Standards of Quality (SOQs), positions approved by the
Compensation Board, costs related to jails and juvenile detention centers and human services positions.
Local Control of Local Revenues—Oppose legislation that restricts or limits the existing local control of
local revenues so that local government leaders can take appropriate measures to generate sufficient
revenues to sustain and improve services.
Drug Court Funding—Request that the legislature fully fund the Drug Court Program, which provides
effective treatment and intensive supervision to drug offenders through the Circuit Courts of several Virginia
localities.
Cost to Compete Pay Differential—Due to the documented high cost of living in Albemarle County, request
that the legislature include Albemarle County Schools in the “Cost to Compete Pay Differential” so that the
County may reach and maintain competitive compensation to help recruit, develop and retain a highly
qualified and diverse teacher workforce.
Composite Index—Support legislation to amend the Composite Index Funding Formula by re-defining the
local true values component of the formula to include the land use taxation value of real property rather than
the fair market assessed value for those properties that have qualified and are being taxed under a land use
value taxation program.
