RE: ZMA 2006 -021 Avemore Commercial Amendment (Sign # 80)
(TMP 78- B -3 -1)
AND
SP 2006 -044 Avemore Commercial Amendment (Sign #80)
(TMP 78- B -3 -1)
Dear Ms. Strother:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on April 10, 2007, unanimously
recommended approval of ZMA- 2006 -021, Avemore Commercial Amendment to the Board of
Supervisors, with proffers and minor revisions to the application plan to more accurately define the area to
be rezoned on the plans and adding a note regarding landscaping. The Commission also unanimously
recommended approval of SP- 2006 -044 Avemore Commercial Amendment to the Board of Supervisors, as
recommended by staff.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review these petitions and receive
public comment at their meeting on June 6, 2007. It is the Board of Supervisor's preference that a public
hearing not be advertised until all of the final materials for a zoning application have been received by the
County and are available for public review. To achieve this preference, please submit final plans, final
codes of development, final proffers, and any other documents deemed necessary by the Director of
Community Development, to our office no later than Monday, May 14. Please review the attached
submission of materials policy established by the Board of Supervisors on December 7, 2005.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (434) 296 -5832.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Ragsdale
Senior Planner

POLICY
SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS
FOR ZONING APPLICATIONS
It is the Board's preference that a public hearing should not be advertised until all of the final materials
for a zoning application have been received by the County and are available for public review. To achieve this
preference, applicants should provide final plans, final codes of development, final proffers, and any other
documents deemed necessary by the Director of Community Development, to the County no later than two
days prior to the County's deadline for submitting the public hearing advertisement to the newspaper. Staff
will advise applicants of this date by including it in annual schedules for applications and by providing each
applicant a minimum of two weeks advance notice of the deadline.
If the applicant does not submit the required materials by this date, the public hearing shall not be
advertised unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Development that
good cause exists for the public hearing to be advertised. If not advertised, a new public hearing date will be
scheduled. If the public hearing is held without final materials being available for review throughout the
advertisement period due to a late submittal of documents, or because substantial revisions or amendments are
made to the submitted materials after the public hearing has been advertised, it will be the policy of the Board
to either defer action and schedule a second public hearing that provides this opportunity to the public or to
deny the application, unless the Board finds that the deferral would not be in the public interest or not forward
the purposes of this policy.
Final signed proffers shall be submitted to the County no later than nine days prior to the date of the
advertised public hearing. This policy is not intended to prevent changes made in proffers at the public hearing
resulting from comments received from the public or from Board members at the public hearing.
This Zoning Policy will be included in the Board's Rules of Procedure for adoption each year, so that
the policy can be re- examined annually.
(Adopted 12/07/2005)
