MEMORANDUM
TO: File
FROM: Andy Sorrell, Senior Planner
DATE: April 11, 2012
RE: CCP201200001 Firearms Training Facility at Keene Landfill Site
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on April 3, 2012, by a vote of 5:2, made a
finding that the location, character and extent of the proposed Law Enforcement Firing Range Facility
(Firearms Training Facility at Keene Landfill Site) is in substantial accord with the County's adopted
Comprehensive Plan for the reasons identified as the favorable factors as outlined in the staff report, as
follows:
1. Site will utilize an under -used county -owned land;
2. Site's size and remote nature isolates it from more densely populated areas;
3. Location of range on site will further limit adverse impact on adjacent agricultural properties;
4. Site's location limits impacts to natural, scenic, historic and cultural resources.
