Dear Mr. Strickland:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on February 20, 2007, recommended by a vote of
5:1 that ZMA-2006-00011, Whittington PRD Amendment complies, inclusive of the application plan dated
11/22/2006 and the proffer form dated February 8, 2007, with Zoning Ordinance Sections 8.5.5.5.and 8.5. l .d.
Additionally, the Planning Commission approved, by a vote of 5:2, a motion that the uses proposed within the
open space are appropriate, excluding the observation tower, under the standards set by Section 4.7 of the
Zoning Ordinance for ZMA-2006-00011, Whittington PRD Amendment.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive
public comment at their meeting on April 11, 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 March 19, 2007. 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,

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)
