RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, one of the short-term priorities of the County's Economic Development Policy is
to initiate zoning text amendments that further enable business and industrial uses in appropriate
zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the County's Economic Vitality Action Plan recommends removing obstacles
and expanding options and flexibility for users of industrial land by amending the Zoning Ordinance;
and
WHEREAS, in implementing the County's Economic Development Policy and the Economic
Vitality Action Plan, the Board has already adopted two zoning text amendments pertaining to
industrial uses (ZTA- 2010 -001 and ZTA- 2010 -002); and
WHEREAS, it is now desired to consider amending the regulations in the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to industrial uses in order to reflect current industrial technologies, and to increase
flexibility within the industrial zoning districts while at the same time preserving those districts'
integrity for true industrial uses.
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 the Zoning Ordinance, including sections 4, 5, 26, 27, 28,
29 and any other section deemed appropriate, as described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing
on this resolution of intent, and return its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors at the earliest
possible date.
