INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this meeting is for the Committee to review items from 2013 that have already been considered, but that
were acted on at meetings without proper quorums or member notification. Two of the seven members of the Committee
are past their term -limit dates, and so were not included in notifications of Committee meetings. However, staff recently
found that the County Code specifies that members shall continue to serve after the end of their term until they are
actually replaced. Therefore the two members in question should have been notified of the 2013 meetings, and a quorum
currently would be four members, not three as previously thought.
The July 22nd meeting had three attendees, which was not a quorum. The items from that meeting need to be considered
again by a quorum of the Committee and must be heard again by the Planning Commission. The Board of Supervisors has
not heard those items yet.
The items from the October 14th meeting need to be considered again because two members of the Committee were not
properly notified of the meeting and did not have the opportunity to participate equally with the other members. Items
from that meeting have not yet been heard by the Planning Commission or the Board of Supervisors.
3. AFD 2013 -01 IVY CREEK DISTRICT REVIEW
Periodic Review of Agricultural and Forestal Districts
A district may continue indefinitely, but it must be reviewed by the County not more than every 10 years
to determine whether the district should be continued. Before being considered by the Board of
Supervisors, a district is reviewed by the County's Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee
and the Planning Commission. Both the Advisory Committee and the Planning Commission provide
recommendations to the Board as to whether the district should be terminated, modified or continued.
Once it has received the recommendations of the Advisory Committee and the Planning Commission, the
Board conducts a public hearing. After the public hearing, the Board may terminate, modify or continue
the district. If the Board continues the district, it may impose conditions on the district different from
those imposed on the district when it was created or last reviewed. Landowners within a district receive
notice of this process, including notice of any proposed different conditions.
When a district is reviewed, land within the district may be withdrawn at the owner's discretion by filing
a written notice with the Board at any time before the Board acts to continue, modify, or terminate the
district.
The Albemarle County Code currently contains this description of the Ivy Creek District:
Sec. 3 -217 Ivy Creek Agricultural and Forestal District.
The district known as the "Ivy Creek Agricultural and Forestal District" consists of the following
described properties: Tax map 44, parcels 19, 19A, 19B, 20, 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, 20G, 21A1,
21A2, 21D, 35, 35A; tax map 45, parcels 5F, 5174, 7A. This district, created on November 2, 1988 for not
more than 7 years, since amended at its last review on July 9, 2003 to continue for not more than 10 years,
shall next be reviewed prior to July 9, 2013.
The District is located to the west of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir (see Attachment A).
District History:
■ The District was created in November, 1988 with 18 parcels and approximately 315 acres.
■ One parcel of 28 acres was withdrawn during a review in 1996.
■ Two parcels totaling 195.75 acres were added in 1998.
■ Three parcels totaling 256 acres were withdrawn during a review in 2003.
■ Five parcels totaling 199 acres were added in 2009.
■ The District now includes 20 parcels and 330 acres
Agricultural and Forestal District Significance: Of the 330 acres in the Ivy Creek District, 271 acres have
soils listed as particularly important for agriculture in the Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use other than Agriculture and Forestry: In addition to agricultural and forestal uses, the Ivy Creek
District includes approximately 10 dwellings.
Local Development Patterns: The District primarily consists of a mix of small to medium -sized parcels
and is located in an area that has had much of its lands converted to suburban residential uses.
Comprehensive Plan Designation and Zoning Districts: The District is entirely designated as Rural Areas
in the Comprehensive Plan, and the parcels included in the District are zoned RA Rural Areas
2
Environmental Benefits: Conservation of this area will help maintain the environmental integrity of the
County and aids in the protection of ground and surface water, agricultural soils, mountain resources,
critical slopes, and wildlife habitat. The District's proximity to the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir gives it
an important role in protection of the public water supply.
Withdrawal: Landowners may withdraw their parcels from districts by right during a renewal at any time
before the Board of Supervisors takes final action to continue, modify, or terminate the district.
Landowners were notified of the renewal by certified mail on June 24, 2013. As of this date, no
landowners have requested withdrawal.
Staff Recommendation: That the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee recommend
renewal of the Ivy Creek District for a 10 -year period.

was added to the District as part of the creation of the District in September, 1992.
Committee Review Guidelines
Section 3- 202(A) of the Albemarle County Code states that "no parcel within [a] district shall be developed to a
use more intensive than that existing on the date of creation of the district, other than uses resulting in more
intensive agricultural or forestal production, without the prior approval of the board of supervisors."
The section lays out criteria for what should or should not be considered a more intensive use. In the case of a use
requiring a special use permit, the Code states the proposed use should be approved only when "the board of
supervisors, in considering the application for a special use permit, determines that the development allowed by
the permit is consistent with the purposes of [Chapter 3 of the County Code, "Agricultural and Forestal
Districts]."
Those purposes are listed in Section 3 -100, "Purpose and Intent ":
The purpose and intent of this chapter are as follows:
A. It is the policy of county to conserve and protect, and to encourage the development and improvement
of, its agricultural and forestal lands for the production of food and other agricultural or forestal
products. It is also the policy of the county to conserve and protect agricultural and forestal lands as
valued natural and ecological resources which provide essential open spaces for clean airsheds,
watershed protection, wildlife habitat, and for aesthetic purposes.
B. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to provide means by which agricultural andforestal lands
of either statewide or local significance may be protected and enhanced as a viable segment of state
and local economies, and as important economic and environmental resources.
The Committee's role is to advise the Board of Supervisors on whether or not the proposed use is consistent with
the purposes of Chapter 3. The Committee's recommendation will be included in staff's reports to the Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors when public hearings are held for this item.
Proposal
The special use permit request is for a commercial golf course, under the "swim, golf, tennis, or similar athletic
facilities" use category in the RA section of the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed use would include:
* An 18 -hole golf course to be developed, at least in part, on the site of an existing private golf course. The
applicant estimates that 65 acres of the 480.32 -acre site will be used for tee areas, fairways, greens, and
practice areas. An exact area for the whole golf course has not yet been provided, as the design is not
complete.
* Use of the existing Albemarle House as a clubhouse with a pro shop for golfers and a food - service facility
for golf - course customers.
* Commercial events for up to 200 customers, up to 50 times per year
* 80 impervious parking spaces for customers
* 50 grass- surfaced overflow parking spaces
9
Using the Institute of Traffic Engineers' Trip Generation Manual, the applicants' traffic- engineering consultant
estimated daily traffic generation of 731 trips (each arrival and each departure is one trip) for the golf course, with
a peak -hour volume of 83 trips on Saturdays.
Anal:
A. It is the policy of county to conserve and protect, and to encourage the development and improvement of, its
agricultural and forestal lands for the production of food and other agricultural or forestal products.
Portions of the site are currently used to produce grapes for the landowners' winery. According to the
conceptual plan, that area would remain in agricultural production. However, the portion of the site used
for the golf course, which is not currently used for agricultural production, would lose the potential for
productive use for the life of the golf course. A commercial recreational use is not related to the
production of agricultural or forestal products.
It is also the policy of the county to conserve and protect agricultural and forestal lands as valued natural
and ecological resources which provide essential open spaces for clean airsheds, watershed protection,
wildlife habitat, and for aesthetic purposes.
The applicant has proposed to replant non -play areas of the golf course to improve their habitat value for
wildlife. If such plantings were required by condition of the special use permit, then the habitat value of
some patches of the site could be improved. However, those plantings would be within the context of an
active commercial- recreation use, and their habitat value would be affected by the increased volume of
use on the site.
B. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to provide means by which agricultural and forestal lands of either
statewide or local significance may be protected and enhanced as a viable segment of state and local economies,
and as important economic and environmental resources.
Commercial development of the golf - course portion of the site would not protect or enhance the
agricultural value of that area, as the land would be converted to a commercial use that would make
productive use infeasible. That portion of the site, which is made up of soils rated as "Prime" or "Locally
Important" in the Comprehensive Plan, would no longer be able to contribute to state or local agricultural
markets.
The golf course portion of the site should have no impact on grape production on the remainder of the
site.
This analysis is based on the applicants' initial submission of the special use permit request. If the applicant
chooses to respond to reviewer comments (due to be provided on November 1), it is possible that staff will have
more detailed information on the proposal in the future.
Recommendation:
Based on the loss of productive land that would result from construction and use of the golf course, and on the
commercial nature of the use, staff recommends that the Committee advise the Board of Supervisors that the
proposed use is not consistent with the purposes of Chapter 3 of the County Code.
At the Committee's meeting on October 14, 2013, the Committee voted 2:1:1 to recommend approval of the
proposal. However, two members of the Committee who had previously been considered expired were found to in
10
fact still be active members. As those members were not notified of the October 14 'h meeting, it was determined
that the Committee should consider the item again with a quorum based on full notification of the membership.
Staff requests that the Committee's action be phrased as a statement to the Board of Supervisors that the proposed
use is or is not consistent with the purposes of Chapter 3, rather than simply recommending approval or denial.
