ATTACHMENT 1
On behalf of the citizens and the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, we recognize and commend:
Albemarle Housing Improvement Program
in celebrating 35 years of service in our community. AHIP is an independent Home Repair Nonprofit which
has helped over 2,000 families have safe, decent, and affordable housing.
We are strengthened and enriched as a community by the efforts and dedication of AHIP’s staff in providing
repairs, rehabilitation, and management of homes for lower-income residents. AHIP’s ability to access
numerous resources including the use of local volunteers enhances our local investment for this valuable
service. As a local government, we could not begin to provide the level of service we receive from the efforts
of AHIP.
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors joins in the celebration and congratulates AHIP for its 35 years
of service and expresses its thanks for the outstanding work they continue to do in support of our community.
Signed and sealed this 5th day of October 2011.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a
resolution of intent to consider amending Albemarle County Code § 18-4.18, Noise, and any other sections
of the Zoning Ordinance deemed to be appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein; and

Development in a stream buffer may be authorized by the program authority in the circumstances
described below, provided that a mitigation plan is submitted to, and approved, by the program authority
pursuant to section 17-322:
1. on a lot within the fifty (50) horizontal feet of stream buffer that is the most landward (furthest
from the stream) for necessary infrastructure to allow reasonable use of the lot. In all cases under this
paragraph, any new building site and sewage disposal system shall be located outside the stream buffer;
2. on a lot on which the development in the stream buffer will consist of a lake, pond, or
ecological/wetland restoration project;
3. on a lot on which the development in the stream buffer will consist of the construction and
maintenance of a road, street or driveway that would not satisfy the requirements of section 17-320(D) and
the program authority determines that the stream buffer would prohibit access to the lot necessary for the lot
to be used and developed as permitted in the underlying zoning district and under the applicable regulations
of the subdivision ordinance, or to establish more than one stream crossing;
4. on a lot which was of record prior to the date of adoption of this chapter, on which the
development in the stream buffer will consist of the construction, installation and maintenance of water and
sewer facilities or sewage disposal systems, and the program authority determines that the stream buffer
would prohibit the practicable development of such facilities or systems. Any such sewage disposal system
must comply with all applicable state laws; and
5. on a lot which was of record prior to the date of adoption of this chapter, if the stream buffer
would result in the loss of a building site, and there are no other available building sites outside the stream
buffer on the lot, or to allow redevelopment as permitted in the underlying zoning district.

17(1), 2-6-08; Ord. 08-17(2), 5-7-08)
State law reference--Va. Code § 10.1-2108.
Sec. 17-322 Mitigation plan if development allowed in stream buffer.
Each owner who seeks to develop in a stream buffer pursuant to section 17-321 shall submit to the
program authority for review and approval a mitigation plan as provided herein:
A. The owner shall submit a mitigation plan that satisfies the applicable requi rements of this
section, the fee required by section 17-310, and a certification stating that all requirements of the approved
plan will be complied with.
B. The mitigation plan shall be reviewed by the program authority to determine whether it
complies with the requirements of this section and all other requirements of this article. The program
authority shall approve or disapprove a mitigation plan within forty-five (45) days that a complete plan was
accepted for review. The decision shall be in writing and shall be communicated to the owner. If the plan is
disapproved, the reasons for such disapproval shall be stated in the decision.
C. Each mitigation plan shall:
1. identify the impacts of proposed development on water quality and lands within the
stream buffer;
15
2. ensure that, where development takes place within a stream buffer: (i) the proposed
development shall be located on those portions of a site and in a manner that will be least disruptive to the
natural functions of the stream buffer; (ii) no more land shall be disturbed than is necessary to allow a
development that is permitted in the underlying zoning district under the applicable regulations of the
subdivision ordinance; (iii) indigenous vegetation shall be preserved to the maximum extent practicable,
consistent with the proposed development; and (iv) the impervious cover shall be minimized consistent with
the proposed development;
3. demonstrate and assure that development will be conducted using best
management practices; where best management practices require regular or periodic maintenance in order
to continue their functions, the program authority may require that the owner enter into an agreement
providing for the ongoing maintenance of the plantings in the stream buffer, and may require a bond with
surety or other acceptable instrument, which agreement and bond with surety or other acceptable instrument
shall be of a substance and in a form approved by the program authority and the county attorney;
4. specify mitigation which will address water quality and stream buffer impacts;
5. contain all other information requested by the program authority; and
6. where an owner seeks to establish more than one stream crossing as provided in
section 17-320(D)(6), demonstrate that the environmental impacts from the entire road, street or driveway
necessitated by a single stream crossing would be greater than the environmental impacts caused by an
additional crossing and its associated road, street or driveway. For the purposes of this subsection, the
environmental impacts considered by the program authority include, but are not limited to, impacts to soil,
soil erosion, stormwater quantity, water quality, loss of vegetated stream buffer, impacts to stream beds and
stream banks, the creation of impervious surfaces, and the disturbance of slopes of twenty-five (25) percent
or greater.
D. Each mitigation plan shall be evaluated by the program authority based on the following
criteria:
1. whether all reasonable alternatives to development in the stream buffer have been
explored and exhausted;
2. whether the development in the stream buffer is the minimum necessary and is
conducted in a manner that will be least disruptive to the natural functions of the stream buffer;
3. whether best management practices will effectively mitigate adverse impacts from
the encroachment on the stream buffer and its natural functions;
4. whether the design and construction of the development will satisfy the criteria in
subsections 17-322(C)(2) and (C)(3); and
5. for driveways, roads and streets, whether their alignment and design are optimized,
consistent with all other applicable requirements, to minimize encroachment in the stream buffer and
adverse effects on water quality.
E. An application for a mitigation plan that requires modifications to be made in order for it to be
approved shall be deemed to be withdrawn if the owner fails to submit a revised plan addressing the omitted
modifications within six (6) months after the owner is informed of the omitted information; provided that any
application for which the program authority informed the owner of omitted modifications prior to October 5,
2011 shall be deemed withdrawn if the owner fails to submit a rev ised plan addressing the omitted
modifications by April 5, 2012.
F. An approved mitigation plan shall be void if the owner fails to obtain a grading, building or
other permit for activities involving land disturbing activities to implement the plan (the “permit”) within two (2)
years after the date of its approval; provided than any mitigation plan approved prior to October 5, 2011 shall
be void if the owner fails to obtain a permit by October 5, 2013; and further provided that any mitigation plan
16
associated with a subdivision plat or site plan whose period of validity is extended by Virginia Code § 15.2-
2209.1(A) shall likewise be extended for the same time period.
(§ 19.3-46, 2-11-98; § 19.2-8, 6-19-91, § 8; § 19.1-13, 6-19-91, § 13; Code 1988, §§ 19.1-13, 19.2-8, 19.3-
46; Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord. 08-17(2), 5-7-08)
