BACKGROUND:
On January 6, 2010 the Board of Supervisors adopted the 2010 Albemarle County Action Plan. That Action Plan called for
staff to bring forward recommendations for "...reducing unnecessary and burdensome regulations and shortening approval
times" in the development review process. Staff was also tasked with bringing forward "...outcomes from the
Development Review Process that were designed to streamline the process... ". On June 2, 2010 staff presented
recommendations for improving the Site Plan and Subdivision review process at a Board of Supervisors work session.
DISCUSSION:
The Board of Supervisors has directed staff to follow a particular schedule for the development of possible ordinance
revisions designed to improve the site plan and subdivision review process. The first part of the schedule includes a
Public Roundtable (held July 28, 2010), Architectural Review Board review of concepts (held September 7, 2010) and
then Planning Commission review of concepts. Following these three steps staff will prepare draft recommended
changes and then hold additional Roundtables and meetings with the Architectural Review Board and Planning
Commission.
Staff has attached an unaltered copy of the report presented to the Board of Supervisors in June and will make the
same presentation to the Planning Commission that was made to the Board of Supervisors, Public Roundtable, and
Architectural Review Board.
Staff has received substantial comment from a variety of sources to date and has not summarized those comments
yet because comments are still being received. The purpose of the current work session is to obtain comments from
the Planning Commission on potential changes to Site Plan and Subdivision Review processes.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff requests that the Planning Commission provide comment on the proposed changes to the Site Plan and Subdivision
Review process as outlined in the attached report.
