NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Planning Commission hereby adopts a resolution of intent to consider amending County Code § 18-5.1.40 to achieve the purposes described herein; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the zoning text amendment proposed pursuant to this resolution of intent, and make its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible date. 3 ATTACHMENT 2 RESOLUTION TO SET CALENDAR YEAR 2015 TAX RATES BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, does hereby set the County Levy for Calendar Year 2015 for general County purposes at: (1) Eighty-One and Nine-Tenths Cents ($0.819) on every One Hundred Dollars of assessed value of real estate; (2) Eighty-One and Nine-Tenths Cents ($0.819) on every One Hundred Dollars of assessed value of manufactured homes; (3) Eighty-One and Nine-Tenths Cents ($0.819) on every One Hundred Dollars of assessed value of public service property; (4) Four Dollars and Twenty-Eight Cents ($4.28) on every One Hundred Dollars of assessed value of personal property; and (5) Four Dollars and Twenty-Eight Cents ($4.28) on every One Hundred Dollars of assessed value of machinery and tools; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors orders the Director of Finance of Albemarle County to assess and collect County taxes on all taxable property, including all taxable real estate and all taxable personal property.
