Dear Mr. Shifflett:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on December 9, 2008, by a vote of 6:0,
recommended approval of the above -noted petition to the Board of Supervisors with the 5 conditions
recommended by staff at the meeting with the understanding that the 5th condition will be further modified
before the Board of Supervisors' meeting to reflect suggestions by the County Attorney.
Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:

3. There shall be no day care center or private school on site without approval of a separate special use

lighting plan limiting light levels at all property lines to no greater than 0.3 foot candles shall be subject
to approval by the Planning Director.
5. No grading, disturbance or tree removal shall take place within the drip lines of the trees unless a
"Tree Protection Plan" in accord with section 32.7.9.4 of the Zoning Ordinance is submitted to the

POLICY
SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS
FOR ZONING APPLICATIONS
It is the Board's preference that a public hearing should not be advertised until all of the final materials
for a zoning application have been received by the County and are available for public review. To achieve this
preference, applicants should provide final plans, final codes of development, final proffers, and any other
documents deemed necessary by the Director of Community Development, to the County no later than two
days prior to the County's deadline for submitting the public hearing advertisement to the newspaper. Staff
will advise applicants of this date by including it in annual schedules for applications and by providing each
applicant a minimum of two weeks advance notice of the deadline.
If the applicant does not submit the required materials by this date, the public hearing shall not be
advertised unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Development that
good cause exists for the public hearing to be advertised. If not advertised, a new public hearing date will be
scheduled. If the public hearing is held without final materials being available for review throughout the
advertisement period due to a late submittal of documents, or because substantial revisions or amendments are
made to the submitted materials after the public hearing has been advertised, it will be the policy of the Board
to either defer action and schedule a second public hearing that provides this opportunity to the public or to
deny the application, unless the Board finds that the deferral would not be in the public interest or not forward
the purposes of this policy.
Final signed proffers shall be submitted to the County no later than nine days prior to the date of the
advertised public hearing. This policy is not intended to prevent changes made in proffers at the public hearing
resulting from comments received from the public or from Board members at the public hearing.
This Zoning Policy will be included in the Board's Rules of Procedure for adoption each year, so that
the policy can be re- examined annually.
