WHEREAS, two of the guiding elements of the County's vision for rural Albemarle County, as
expressed in the Comprehensive Plan's Rural Areas Plan, are: "A strong agricultural and forestal
economy, with large unfragmented parcels of land on which to produce their goods, opportunities to
gain value from processing their own produce, and access to local markets" and "Plans, policies and
decision making that consider and protect rural economies and ecological processes "; and
WHEREAS, one of the guiding principles of the Comprehensive Plan's Rural Areas Plan is
to "Provide support to local and agricultural and forestal economies and connect local producers and
consumers of local rural products "; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to amend the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to expand the
opportunities for the sale of local farm products.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity,
convenience, general welfare and good zoning practices, the Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a
resolution of intent to amend Zoning Ordinance §§ 4, 5 and 10 and any other sections of the Zoning
Ordinance determined to be appropriate 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.
I, Ella W. Jordan, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of a Resolution
duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, by a vote of six to zero, as
