From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator
Division: Zoning
Date: November 16, 2010
Subject: ZTA 2009 -016 Monticello Historic District (MHD)
I have reviewed the revisions and have the following comments:
1. The addition of "support activities" to the statement of intent is somewhat unclear to me. It
would be helpful if the purpose is to allow the inclusion of these special events and lodging, to
either use a more specific word or further expand on what it means within the intent language.
2. I'm also unclear as to what constitutes a "stewardship event" [11.3.1 (1 e)]. Is there a more
specific word or a way to further expand on what it means?
3. 1 suggest that 11.3.1 (17) tourist lodging be deleted as a freestanding use within the MHD.
Transient lodging is more appropriately allowed under the revised use category [11.3.1 (24)] for
the scholar's residences.
4. Please revise the farm winery references to be consistent with recent revisions to the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The farm winery uses should be revised as follows: By-
right - Farm winery uses authorized under section 5.1.25(a) and (b). By SP - Farm winery uses
authorized under section 5.1.25(c).
5. The new use category for special events [Section 11.3.1 (26)] should be revised to omit
performance standards such as the traffic management plan. I suggest that the language after
"notwithstanding the foregoing..." be moved to new Section 11.5 "Regulations applicable to
special events [Ref Section 11.3.2 (27)]. It is important that everyone understand that we will
expect this standard to be self- enforcing because we cannot readily or practically enforce it.
