RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has recently established in Virginia Code § 15.2 - 2288.3 limitations
on the extent to which localities, under their zoning powers, may regulate various uses and activities associated
with farm wineries intended to promote the farm winery industry; and
WHEREAS, although the County complies with Virginia Code § 15.2- 2288.3 in practice, it is desired to
amend the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance so that its farm winery regulations are consistent with Virginia
Code § 15.2- 2288.3 in order to promote the efficient and effective administration of the County's zoning
regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good zoning practices, the Planning Commission hereby adopts a resolution of intent to
amend Zoning Ordinance §§ 3.1, 5.1.25, 10.2.2, and any other appropriate sections of the Albemarle County
Zoning Ordinance to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
zoning text amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors, at the earliest possible date.
