AGENDA TITLE:
FY2011 3rd Quarter Cash and Non -Cash Proffer Report
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Report on cash proffer revenue, expenditures and non -cash
improvements for January-March of 2011.
STAFF CONTACT(S):

CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION: INFORMATION: X
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in 2007, the Board directed staff to provide a quarterly update on the status of cash proffers. Since that time,
the report has been expanded to also include updates on non-cash proffers that benefit the County and mitigate impacts
of development. This report includes proffer activity (both cash and non -cash improvements) for the months of January
through March 2011 (FY2011 3rd quarter).
DISCUSSION:
Cash Proffers January-March 2011 (3rd Quarter Fiscal Year 2011)
Proffered: There were no rezoning requests approved in this quarter that provided new cash proffers.
A. Total Obligated Cash Proffers: Since no new rezonings that increased obligated cash proff ers were approved
during the 3rd quarter, the total obligated cash proffers remains the same as last quarter ($38,851,330).
B. Revenue: The County received a total of $33,927 from existing cash proffers during this quarter from the following
developments:
Belvedere $1,250 for affordable housing
Liberty Hall $16,000 for capital projects serving Crozet
Wickham Pond $9,677 for capital projects serving Crozet
Old Trail $3,500 for parks; $3,500 for schools in Crozet
C. Total Interest Earnings: The amount of interest earned during this quarter from collected cash proffers totaled
$896, bringing the total amount of interest earned on all proffers to $318,639 .
D. Expenditures: One appropriation of $111,385 in affordable housing proffer revenue was made by the Board on
February 2, 2011 for the Office of Housing’s Community Development Loan Fund for affordable housing programs.
E. Current Available Funds: As of March 31, 2011, the available cash proffer fund balance is $1,211,702. Some of
these funds were proffered for specific pr ojects while others may be used for general projects within the CIP (see
Attachment A).
Non-Cash Proffers
Proffered: ZMA-2010-00014 Hollym ead Town Center (Area A-1), approved on January 12, 2011, was the only
rezoning approved during this quarter. The o riginal rezoning included cash proffers and a number of non -cash proffers
that were not revised with this rezoning approval. The rezoning am ended one proffer for road improvements, primarily
related to the completion of Meeting Street.
Staff will continue to keep the Board informed on non -cash proffers, including Transportation, Affordable Housing,
Parks, Fire Rescue, Schools and other land dedications. Staff will also include the estimated cash value of satisfied
non-cash proffers when reporting in futur e reports to the Board.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Cash proffers are a valuable source of revenue that supplements the funding of important County projects that would
otherwise be funded by general tax revenue. In addition, non-cash proffers provide improvements that might otherwise
be funded by general tax revenue. One dedicated full-time staff person continues to monitor and collect proffered funds,
improvements and land dedications with the assistance of other County staff and outside agencies.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This summary is provided for information on proffer activity and no action is required. Staff welcomes any comments for
improvements from the Board that they may wish to see in the future.

REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The Acquisition of Conservation Easements (ACE) Committee is charged with the responsibility for recommending to
the Board of Supervisors amendments to the ACE Program to ensure that it remains consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and corresponding policies as well as enhance the administration, implementation and
effectiveness of the program.
Beginning in 2009, the ACE Committee undertook an evaluation of the effectiveness of the current ranking evaluation
criteria utilized for identifying those properties deemed most worthy of protection by a conservation easement. Based
upon this review, the Committee is recommending that the Board amend sections of the Ordinance related to
Easement Terms and Conditions, Ranking criteria and Definitions and Construction.
DISCUSSION:
The Committee recommends the following amendments to the ACE Ordinance:
Require that any identified resource be protected – Under the current practice, if a resource is identified on a
property, owners are required to protect that resource only if they elect to receive ACE ranking points during the
evaluation process for having that resource. This owner election leaves open the possibility that an ACE
easement could leave an identified resource unprotected. To fill this gap, the ACE Committee recommends that
both the award of points and the protection of all identified resources be made mandatory. (§§ A.1-108(C)(1),
(C)(3), and (C)(8); § A.1-109(B)(1), (B)(2), (B)(4), and (B)(5)) While this approach may deter some applicants, it
sets a higher standard that will enhance the overall quality and value of ACE easements.
Amend the ACE ranking criteria as follows:
o Proration of ACE ranking points -- Clarify that ACE ranking points be prorated, as they are already required to
be “rounded to the first decimal.” (§ A.1-108)
o Parcel size -- Increase the points awarded for parcels over 200 acres from 1 point per 50 acres over 200
acres to 2 points per 50 acres over 200 acres. (§ A.1-108(A)(2)) This recommendation is to reward larger
properties that tend to cost less per acre so that the County can protect more acres per dollar.
o Parcels threatened with forced sale -- Reduce the award of ACE ranking points from five to three for parcels
threatened with forced sale. (§ A.1-108(B)(2))
o W orking family farms (§ A.1-108(C)(2))
Redefine “family member” in § A.1-103(A)(5) to clarify for which family members applicants may receive
“working family farm” points, to encompass second cousins and closer relatives as family members.
Award one additional ACE ranking point for certified Virginia Century Farms, which have been in
operation for at least 100 consecutive years.
AGENDA TITLE: Amendment to County Code Appendix A.1, Acquisition of Conservation Easements Program
(ACE)

Page 2
o Artifacts -- Remove the award of ACE ranking points for artifacts. ACE ranking points would still be awarded
for sites of archaeological or architectural significance. (§ A.1-108(C)(4)) Unless the term “artifact” is defined
more specifically, it may be too general and inclusive of a term, rewarding items that may not be significant.
o Natural heritage/biodiversity -- Remove the award of ACE ranking points for mere proximity to an occurrence
listed on the State Natural Heritage Inventory. (§ A.1-108(C)(5)) Since proximity to an occurrence could have
little or no bearing on protecting it (depending on the type of occurrence), the Committee believed that this
criterion was too vague and potentially ineffective, especially if the resource were on someone else’s
property.
o Ragged Mountain Reservoir Watershed -- Award ACE ranking points for parcels within the Ragged Mountain
Reservoir Watershed. (§ A.1-108(C)(7)) This was inadvertently omitted from the original list of protected
watersheds.
o Voluntary stream buffers – Outside of the identified watersheds and streams, owners would still elect whether
to have voluntary stream buffers, and to receive ACE ranking points accordingly. For voluntary stream
buffers, the ACE Committee is recommending that the buffer measurement requirements of the three
designations for which ACE ranking points are awarded be rounded-up to the cut-off widths of 35, 50, and
100 feet wide, respectively. (§ A.1-108(C)(9))
The ACE Committee recommends the following changes to the Deeds of easement:
Mountain resources – Clarify the correct name of the Mountain Design Standards in the Natural Resources and
Cultural Assets Component of the Comprehensive Plan (§ A.1-109(B)(1))
Dwellings along scenic highways or byways -- Clarify that on parcels fronting scenic highways or byways,
dwellings may be located within 250 feet of the highway or byway only if the dwelling is not visible from the scenic
highway or byway at any time of the year. (§ A.1-109(B)(2))
Protected stream buffers -- Require stream buffers for any parcel awarded points for being located in a watershed
or along a stream named in § A.1-108(C)(7). (§ A.1-109(B)(3))
Dwellings along scenic rivers -- Clarify that on parcels fronting scenic rivers, dwellings may be located within 250
feet of the river only if the dwelling is not visible from the scenic river at any time of the year. (§ A.1-109(B)(4))
Sites of archaeological or architectural significance -- Require that no site of archaeological or architectural
significance under an ACE easement be razed, demolished or moved unless approved by the County and the
PRFA. (§ A.1-109(B)(5))
Voluntary stream buffers -- Require stream buffers where owners requested that the parcel be awarded ACE
ranking points for having a voluntary stream buffer. (§ A.1-109(B)(6))
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for the purchase of ACE conservation easements comes from the Capital Improvements Program (CIP):
Planning-Conservation fund (budget line-item 9010-81010-580409). The proposed amendments will not have a direct
budget impact.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached ordinance amendment (Attachment A).

REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
On April 6, 2011, the Board directed staff to proceed to public hearing on the 2011 redistricting plan and implementing
ordinance using a revised version of the Plan 1 option that minimizes the number of split precincts created by the State
House and Senate redistricting plans. The only boundary change to Plan 1 was to shift the portion of the proposed
boundary between the Cale and Monticello precincts in the Scottsville Magisterial District from Avon Street Extended back
to its current location along Scottsville Road. The revised Plan 1 has been named “Plan 1A.”
The latest House redistricting plan was revised since the April 6, 2011 work session to no longer split the reconfigured
East Ivy precinct in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District (25th and 57th House Districts). The latest House district boundary
line now follows the proposed reconfigured precinct boundaries between the East Ivy (Samuel Miller Magisterial District)
and University Hall (Jack Jouett Magisterial District). However, to re-balance the population shift from the foregoing House
district boundary change, the Free Bridge precinct is proposed to be split by the 57th and 58th House Districts under the
latest House plan.
The latest Senate redistricting plan has not materially changed since the April 6, 2011 work session and the three split
precincts identified at the April 6, 2011 work session remain. Thus, the Woodbrook precinct in the Rio Magisterial District,
the Jack Jouett precinct in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District, and the Stony Point precinct in the Rivanna Magisterial
District, would be split by the 17th and 25th Senate districts under Plan 1A.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Redistricting Plan 1A
The 2010 Census data establishes the County’s population to be 98,970. One of the requirements of redistricting is to
rebalance the populations within each magisterial district to establish population equality among them as nearly as
practicable, with a goal of having a deviation in population not to exceed +/-5% (absolute population equality is the “ideal
population”), while maintaining consistency with the other Redistricting Guidelines.
The following table shows how the population would be distributed under Plan 1A.

Maps of Plan 1A, which include breakout maps highlighting each of the changes to the magisterial district and precinct
boundaries and the changed polling place location, are included as Attachments A through A4. An analysis of Plan 1A’s
compliance with the Guidelines is included as Attachment B. Demographic information is included as Attachment C. The
proposed ordinance establishing the new magisterial district and precinct boundaries and identifying the polling places is
included as Attachment D.
Summary of the Key Changes
The key changes to the existing magisterial district and precinct boundaries under Plan 1A are as follows:
1. Samuel Miller/Jack Jouett Magisterial Districts: The eastern-most portion of the East Ivy precinct of the Samuel
Miller Magisterial District would be moved to the Jack Jouett Magisterial District and be placed in the University
Hall precinct. (see Attachment A1).
2. Rivanna/Rio Magisterial Districts: The Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions within the Burnley precinct of the
Rivanna Magisterial District would be moved to the Rio Magisterial District and be placed in the Northside precinct.
(see Attachment A2)
3. Scottsville/Samuel Miller Magisterial Districts: The entire Porter’s precinct of the Scottsville Magisterial District
would be moved to the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. (see Attachment A4)
4. White Hall/Samuel Miller Magisterial Districts: The entire Yellow Mountain precinct of the White Hall Magisterial
District would be moved to the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. (see Attachment A3)
In addition, within the Rivanna Magisterial District, the Burnley precinct would be expanded to the south from the North
Fork Rivanna River to Powell Creek/Lake Hollymead, the Hollymead precinct, would be correspondingly reduced in size,
the Burnley precinct would be renamed as the “Baker-Butler” precinct and its polling place would be moved from
Northridge Community Church to Baker-Butler Elementary School.
Staff also reviewed data and conducted field work as necessary to verify the magisterial district and precinct boundary
descriptions in the proposed ordinance. A number of minor technical changes in the descriptions are recommended, none
of which affect magisterial district populations or the numbers of voters in precincts.
Detailed Explanation of the Key Changes
Following is a detailed explanation of the key changes to the magisterial district and precinct boundaries under Plan 1A.
The existing polling places will remain as they are under Plan 1A, with the exception of the Burnley (proposed to be
renamed “Baker-Butler”) precinct in the Rivanna Magisterial District, as discussed below.
Jack Jouett
District boundary: The eastern-most portion of the East Ivy precinct (bounded by U.S. 250 on the north, the
U.S. 29 Bypass on the west, and Fontaine Avenue and the City limits on the south) of the Samuel Miller
Magisterial District would be added to the Jack Jouett Magisterial District (University Hall precinct) (see
Attachment A1). This change would increase the population of the magisterial district by 2,444 persons.
Precincts: The reconfigured University Hall precinct would include the lands from the East Ivy precinct being
moved from the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. The number of active registered voters (hereinafter,
“voters”) in the reconfigured University Hall precinct would increase by 1,003 to a new total of 3,006. The
precinct would retain its name. The boundaries of the other precincts would remain the same.
Polling places: The polling place for the University Hall precinct would continue to be University Hall. The
polling places of the other precincts would remain the same.
Rio
District boundary: The Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions within the Burnley precinct of the Rivanna
Magisterial District would be added to the Rio Magisterial District (Northside precinct) (see Attachment A2).
This change would increase the population of the magisterial district by 1,125 persons.
Precincts: The reconfigured Northside precinct would include the Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions moved
from the Rivanna Magisterial District and the number of voters in that precinct would increase by 677 to a new
AGENDA TITLE: 2011 Redistricting Public Hearing
May 4, 2011
Page 3
total of 2,769. The increase in the number of voters in the Northside precinct would require the addition of one
voting machine. The boundaries of the other precincts would remain the same.
Polling places: All of the precincts, including Northside, would retain their current polling places. The polling
place for the Northside precinct is the Earlysville Volunteer Fire Station.
Rivanna
District boundary: The Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions in the Burnley precinct would be moved to the Rio
Magisterial District (see Attachment A2). This change would decrease the population of the magisterial district
by 1,125 persons.
Precincts: The Burnley precinct would be expanded to the south from the North Fork Rivanna River to Powell
Creek/Lake Hollymead. This would correspondingly reduce the size of the Hollymead precinct. Even with the
Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions being moved to the Rio Magisterial District, the current number of voters
in the reconfigured Burnley precinct would be increased to 2,104, and the number of voters in the reconfigured
Hollymead precinct would be decreased to 2,240. This proposed change allows a net reduction of one or two
voting machines required for the two precincts. The Burnley precinct would be renamed the Baker-Butler
precinct. The Hollymead precinct would retain its name. The boundaries of the other precincts would remain
the same.
Polling places: The polling place for the renamed Burnley (to become Baker-Butler) precinct would be moved
from Northridge Community Church to Baker-Butler Elementary School, which is closer to the population
center of that precinct. The polling place for the reconfigured Hollymead precinct would remain at Hollymead
Elementary School. The polling places of the other precincts would remain the same.
Samuel Miller
District boundary: The eastern-most portion of the East Ivy precinct (bounded by U.S. 250 on the north; the
U.S. 29 Bypass on the west, and Fontaine Ave. and the City limits on the south) would be moved to the Jack
Jouett Magisterial District (2,444 persons) (see Attachment A1). The entire Yellow Mountain precinct of the
White Hall Magisterial District would be added to the Samuel Miller Magisterial District (951 persons) (see
Attachment A3). The entire Porter’s precinct of the Scottsville Magisterial District would be added to the
Samuel Miller Magisterial District (2,396 persons) (see Attachment A4). These changes would increase the
population of the magisterial district by 903 persons.
Precincts: The number of voters in the reconfigured East Ivy precinct would decrease by 1,003 to a new total of
958. The precinct would retain its name. The boundaries of the Yellow Mountain precinct, added from the
White Hall Magisterial District, would remain the same. The boundaries of the Porter’s precinct, added from the
Scottsville Magisterial District, would remain the same. The boundaries of the other precincts also would
remain the same.
Polling places: The polling place for the East Ivy precinct would continue to be The Miller Center. The polling
place for the Yellow Mountain precinct would continue to be Mount Ed Baptist Church. The polling place for the
Porter’s precinct would continue to be Yancey Elementary School. The polling places of the other precincts
would remain the same.
Scottsville
District boundary: The entire Porter’s precinct would be moved to the Samuel Miller Magisterial District (see
Attachment A4). This change would decrease the population of the magisterial district by 2,396 persons.
Precincts: The precinct boundaries of the remaining precincts would remain the same.
Polling places: The polling places of the remaining precincts would remain the same.
White Hall
District boundary: The entire Yellow Mountain precinct would be moved to the Samuel Miller Magisterial District
(see Attachment A3). This change would decrease the population of the magisterial district by 951 persons.
Precincts: The boundaries of the remaining precincts would remain the same.
AGENDA TITLE: 2011 Redistricting Public Hearing

Polling places: The polling places of the remaining precincts would remain the same.
Compliance with the Redistricting Guidelines
Staff has reviewed the proposed changes under Plan 1A and has concluded that the plan complies with the
Guidelines (see Attachment B).
Magisterial District Guideline 1 requires the changes in the magisterial district boundaries to achieve population equality
among the magisterial districts as nearly as practicable, and all of the reconfigured districts would be +/- 5% of the ideal
population. Magisterial District Guidelines 2 and 3, which pertain to the Voting Rights Act, were also considered in
developing Plan 1A. The classes protected under the Voting Rights Act continue to be fairly evenly distributed throughout
the County’s six magisterial districts. The changes to the populations of the protected classes within the current magisterial
districts under Plan 1A are extremely minor, and it is staff’s opinion that none of the proposed boundary changes would
have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color (Magisterial District Guideline 2).
Likewise, it is staff’s opinion that neither of the foregoing protected classes would lose voting strength under Plan 1A
(Magisterial District Guideline 3) (see Attachment C).
Remaining Schedule
As soon as possible after the Board has adopted the redistricting ordinance (Attachment D), staff will submit the ordinance
and other information required by 28 CFR §§ 51.27 and 51.28 to the United States Department of Justice for preclearance
under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
The submittal to the Department of Justice must be made in time to allow sufficient time for the General Registrar to meet
election-related deadlines. The preclearance process requires at least 60-90 days from the date the Board adopts the
redistricting ordinance. Once preclearance from the Department of Justice is obtained, the General Registrar will send
notices to voters about their magisterial district, precinct and polling place as required by State law prior to the November
8, 2011 general election. The General Registrar also must meet other election-related deadlines such as mailing out
absentee ballots. It is possible that primary elections could be held in August. If so, all of the notice requirements could be
advanced to early July to meet applicable requirements.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The cost of the redistricting is already incorporated into various offices’ and departments’ workplans. When redistricting is
completed, the General Registrar will incur the cost of mailing new voter registration cards. This cost will be approximately
$38,000, and it is already included in the budget.
As noted in the Background, the latest House and Senate redistricting plans would split four precincts, three under the
Senate plan (Woodbrook precinct in the Rio Magisterial District; Jack Jouett precinct in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District,
all between the 17th and 25th Senate districts; and Stony Point precinct in the Rivanna Magisterial District) and one under
the House plan (Free Bridge precinct in the Rivanna Magisterial District, between the 57th and 58th House districts). Staff
estimates additional costs of $4,400 (approximately $1,000 to $1,200 per split precinct) per election from adding one or
two elections officers and one or two additional voting machines.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
After conducting the public hearing, Staff recommends that the Board adopt the proposed ordinance attached hereto as
Attachment D, which includes the map entitled “Albemarle County, Virginia 2011 Redistricting Plan # 1A, dated May 4,
2011,” which is Attachment A.

Analysis of Redistricting Guidelines Under Plan 1A
Laws and Guidelines Plan 1A
Magisterial District Guidelines
Federal Law
1. Establish population equality among the magisterial districts as
nearly as practicable, with a goal of having a deviation in
population not to exceed +/-5%, in order to assure representation in
proportion to the population of the district. (White v. Regester, 412
U.S. 755 (1973) (allowing some minor variation from population
equality; also, United States Constitution, Article I, § 2, Virginia
Constitution, Article VII, § 5 and Virginia Code §§ 24.2-304.1(B)))
The changes in the magisterial district boundaries are required to
achieve population equality among the magisterial districts as
nearly as practicable, and all of the reconfigured districts would
be +/- 5% of the ideal population.
2. Assure that any change in a magisterial district boundary does not
have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account
of race, color or status as a member of a language minority group.
(Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965)
The changes to the populations of the protected classes within
the current magisterial districts under either plan options are
extremely minor and it is staff’s opinion that none of the
proposed boundary changes would have the effect of denying or
abridging the right to vote on account of race, color or status as a
member of a language minority group.
3. Assure that no protected class identified in Guideline 2 loses voting
strength under the new redistricting plan. (Section 5 of the Voting
Rights Act of 1965)
The changes to the populations of the protected classes within
the current magisterial districts under either plan options are
extremely minor, and it is staff’s opinion that none of the
foregoing protected classes would lose voting strength under
either plan option.
State Law and State-Level Redistricting Criteria
4. Maintain geographical compactness in each magisterial district.
(Virginia Code § 24.2-304.1(B); Virginia Code § 24.2-305(A); also,
Virginia Constitution, Article VII, § 5)
Compliance
5. Maintain geographical contiguity in each magisterial district.
(Virginia Code § 24.2-304.1(B); Virginia Code § 24.2-305(A); also,
Virginia Constitution, Article VII, § 5)
Compliance
6. Assure magisterial districts have clearly observable boundaries.
(Virginia Code § 24.2-305(A) and (B))
Compliance

10. Maintain six magisterial districts.
Compliance
11. Have each magisterial district contain both urban and rural areas
of the County.

Precinct Guidelines
State Guidelines and State-Level Redistricting Criteria
1. In no event shall a precinct have fewer than 100 registered voters
nor more than 5,000 registered voters. (Virginia Code § 24.2-307)
Compliance
2. Each precinct shall be wholly contained within a magisterial
district. (Virginia Code § 24.2-307)
Compliance
3. Maintain geographical compactness in each precinct. (Virginia
Code § 24.2-305(A))
Compliance
4. Maintain geographical contiguity in each precinct. (Virginia Code §
24.2-305(A))
Compliance
5. Assure precincts have clearly observable boundaries. (Virginia
Code § 24.2-305(A) and (B))
Compliance
6. If there is a conflict between Guidelines 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and
Guidelines 7 or 8, priority shall be given to Guidelines 1, 2, 3, 4 or
5 because they are based on State law requirements. (Based on
Virginia Senate and House 2001 Redistricting Criteria)
Not applicable
County Considerations
7. The target size of a precinct shall be not more than 2,500
registered voters.
Jack Jouett: The reconfigured Burnley (Baker-Butler) and
Hollymead precincts would be closer to the target size; the
reconfigured University Hall precinct would be large (3,006
voters) but manageable.
Samuel Miller: The reconfigured East Ivy precinct would be small
(958 voters) but manageable.
Scottsville: The Cale precinct will continue to exceed the target
size, and the Monticello precinct will continue to be well below
the target size, but the current precinct boundaries were
maintained to avoid split precincts under the pending House of
Delegates plan.
8. Avoid splitting precincts with Virginia Senate and House of
Delegates district lines and United States House of
Representatives district lines.
The pending Virginia Senate and House of Delegates
redistricting plans have created several unavoidable split
precincts:
Jack Jouett: The Jack Jouett precinct would be split between the
17th and 25th Senate Districts in two places.
Rio: The Woodbrook precinct would be split between the 17th
and 25th Senate Districts.
Rivanna: The Free Bridge precinct would be split between the
57th and 58th House Districts; the Stony Point precinct would be
split between the 17th and 25th Senate districts.

Polling Place Guidelines
State Guidelines and State-Level Redistricting Criteria
1. Each precinct shall have one polling place. (Virginia Code § 24.2-
307)
Compliance
2. If a polling place cannot be located within the precinct, it shall be
located within one mile (as measured in a straight line) from the
precinct boundary. (Virginia Code § 24.2-310(A))
Compliance.
Samuel Miller: The current polling places for the East Ivy precinct
(The Miller Center) and the Yellow Mountain precinct (Mount Ed
Baptist Church) (to be added to the Samuel Miller Magisterial
District), are outside of the respective precincts but within one
mile.
White Hall: The current polling place for the Earlysiville precinct
(Broadus Wood Elementary School) is outside but abutting the
precinct boundary.
3. Each polling place should be located in a public building whenever
practicable. (Virginia Code § 24.2-310(B))
Jack Jouett: The proposed change of the polling place for the
reconfigured Burnley (to be renamed “Baker-Butler”) precinct
from Northside Community Church to Baker-Butler Elementary
School, a public building, satisfies this guideline.
4. No polling place shall be located in a building which serves
primarily as the headquarters, office, or assembly building for any
private organization, other than an organization of a civic,
educational, religious, charitable, historical, patriotic, cultural or
similar nature unless the State Board of Elections has approved the
use of the building because no other building meeting the
accessibility requirements set forth in Guideline 5 is available.
(Virginia Code § 24.2-310.1)
Compliance
5. Each polling place shall be accessible to qualified voters as
required by the provisions of the Virginians with Disabilities Act
(Virginia Code § 51.5-1 et seq.), the Voting Accessibility for the
Elderly and Handicapped Act (42 U.S.C. § 1973ee et seq.), and
the Americans with Disabilities Act relating to public services (42
U.S.C. § 12131 et seq.). (Virginia Code § 24.2-310(C))
Compliance
6. If there is a conflict between Guidelines 2, 3, 4 or 5 and Guidelines
7, 8 or 9, priority shall be given to Guidelines 2, 3, 4 or 5 because
they are based on State law requirements. (Based on Virginia
Senate and House 2001 Redistricting Criteria)
Compliance
County Considerations
7. Each polling place should be centrally located within the precinct
so that the maximum travel time for a voter does not exceed 20
minutes.
Jack Jouett: The change of the polling place for the reconfigured
Burnley (to be renamed “Baker-Butler”) precinct from Northside
Community Church to Baker-Butler Elementary School is closer
to that precinct’s population center so the majority of voters will
have a shorter commute. There is almost no change in the
commute for voters moved from the East Ivy precinct of the
Samuel Miller Magisterial District to the University Hall precinct
because the polling places are close to each other.
Rio: The voters of the Briarwood and Camelot subdivisions,
being added to the Northside precinct, will have a longer
commute than currently, but within the 20 minute target.
Scottsville: There is almost no change in the commute for voters
moved from the Cale precinct to the Monticello precinct because
the polling places are close to each other.
8. Existing polling places should be maintained, provided that they
satisfy Guidelines 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Rivanna: The proposed change of the polling place for the
reconfigured Burnley ((Baker-Butler) precinct from Northside
Community Church to Baker-Butler Elementary School, a public
building, does not meet this guideline but satisfies Polling Place
Guideline 3.
9. Polling places should be located where public transportation is
available, where appropriate.

REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors adopted an Economic Vitality Action Plan (“Plan”) on August 4, 2010, following extensive
public discussion and review. That plan established a schedule for staff to provide quarterly reports to the Board on
staff’s progress and activities related to the Action Plan. Staff will present a second quarterly report at this meeting.
This item is related to one of Albemarle County’s Strategic Action Plan Goals - FY 10/11- FY 11/12 –
Goal 3: By June 30, 2012, the County and its partners will complete the first two year’s activities identified in the
County’s Economic Vitality Action Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Highlights of Progress on the Plan during the last quarter:
Objective 1 - Improve Business Climate and Image
Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) – County staff hosted a familiarization tour for VEDP
staff including available sites in Peter Jefferson Place and the Defense Intelligence Agency facility.
Virginia Economic Development Association (VEDA) – County staff worked with City economic
development staff to co-host the spring VEDA conference, including arranging a tour of the new Martha
Jefferson Hospital at Peter Jefferson Place.
Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS) – County staff participated in a state-
wide agri-business forum to showcase partnership in the Brew Ridge Trail and Monticello Artisan Trail.
Chamber of Commerce – County staff, including County Executive Tom Foley, met with the Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors to discuss the County’s action plan.
Objective 2 - Simplify and Create Certainty - Continued regulatory reform
Small Business Toolkit – County staff is in the final stages of producing a toolkit (print and web versions) to
assist small business owners who are interested in starting, relocating, or expanding their businesses in
Albemarle County.
Farm Winery Zoning - The Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the farm winery zoning
regulations to use a decibel noise standard; this allows vineyards to self-regulate event activity and reduces
staff enforcement.
Objective 3 - Support Quality Job Opportunities
CustomInk – This company expanded its operation into Albemarle County, utilizing an existing industrial
building, with plans to create 110 local jobs in the next three years.
MicroAire – MicroAire announced its purchase of the former USPS building and planned expansion of its
operations to bring $8 million to the local economy and create 51 new local jobs.
Target Industry Study – The Board approved staff’s recommended approach of a Target Industry Study to
help the County identify, assess and leverage its unique assets to provide economic vitality that supports the
County’s long term quality of life. County staff is working with Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic
Development (TJPED) to coordinate the regional portions of this study and to plan the initial steps in
launching the study.
AGENDA TITLE: Economic Vitality Action Plan Update
May 4, 2011
Page 2
Board of Supervisors/School Board Business Leaders Roundtable – County staff worked with School
Division staff to conduct a joint meeting with community business leaders focusing on local workplaces and
workforce issues and needs in the community and identifying opportunities to strengthen County/business
partnerships that will support the County’s overall economic vitality and the School Division’s strategic goals.
Albemarle Business First – This business retention program recognizes the value of existing businesses in
the County and is designed to help the County identify issues, increase communication and improve its
overall business climate. Department of Business Assistance project Manager David Fuller has joined the
local Business First team, and members will begin making targeted calls in May, expanding the County’s
existing local business outreach.
Objective 4 - Expand Industrial Land Options
Industrial districts’ uses and commercial and industrial setbacks and buffers – The Planning
Commission held a work session on January 11, 2011. Staff addressed questions and comments from the
Planning Commission and are working on providing additional information for future Planning Commission
consideration. To expand the research on industrial uses, staff met in April with John Loftus, state manager of
VEDP’s database of sites and buildings, to gain insights into existing industry trends and zoning trends
statewide. Staff expects to hold a roundtable on setbacks and buffers in May or June, with a Planning
Commission work session to follow.
Industrial districts’ performance standards. Other Industrial District regulations under consideration for
amendment are the performance standards. Staff provided proposed revisions to the Planning Commission
on April 19, 2011; however, the Planning Commission deferred this item until the end of May.
Objective 5 - Promote Rural Economy/Tourism
Monticello Artisans Trail – Registrations from businesses to participate in the trail total 117 attractions in
Nelson and Albemarle Counties. The website is now operational and the map is scheduled for publication in
June.
Agricultural Economy Roundtable - County staff held a roundtable to review agritourism activities and
emerging trends in the state. Insights will be addressed as part of the Comprehensive Plan update.
Agritourism: It’s More Than a Farm Tour- The County, the Small Business Development Center, VA
Tourism Corporation, and the Va Tech Agricultural Extension co-hosted an information and training session
for local residents who are interested in exploring the possibilities of developing a farming-tourism experience
that was attended by over 50 entrepreneurs. The program was also supported by the Charlottesville
Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Journey Through Hallowed Grounds - Staff is participating in the development of a wayfinding and signage
program to help the region develop a consistent identity for residents and visitors to explore the area’s many
offerings associated with this project. Through the implementation of this project, local businesses, historic
sites, and recreational opportunities will be promoted on a regional scale.
Data reporting
As stated in the Plan, it is critical that the County regularly monitor and assess the economy and the local business
climate in order to proactively and effectively promote economic vitality. The most recent quarterly indicators report is
attached. Staff is working on developing a measure of farm winery activity that will be added to the indicators list.
BUDGET IMPACT:
No immediate budget impact is associated with this Executive Summary
RECOMMENDATIONS:
No action is required by the Board of Supervisors regarding this item.
