RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, there is an identified need for the creation of lots that do not comply with all of the
standards for lots under Chapter 18, Zoning, of the County Code; and
WHEREAS, through a longstanding and consistent administrative interpretation of the Zoning
Ordinance, these special lots have been allowed to be created for specific uses such as public and private streets,
railroad rights -of -way, central water supplies and central sewerage systems, - stormwater management facilities,
greenways, public utilities and pre- existing cemeteries, all of which serve a general public purpose; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to expressly define those lots that may be considered to be special lots and to
delineate those regulations of the Zoning Ordinance from which special lots are exempt.
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 amend County Code §§ 18 -3.1, 18 -4 and any other regulations of Chapter 18, Zoning, of
the County Code deemed appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
zoning text amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors, at the earliest possible date.
