BACKGROUND:
Ire 2007, the Virginia General Assembly enacted legislation limiting the extent to which localities, under their zoning
}lowers, may regutate various uses and activities associated with farm wineries intended to promote the farm winery
industry. The Planning Commission passad a Resolution of Intent on April 14, 2009 to consider amendments that assure
consistency of the Albemarle County zoning ordinance provisions with the Virginia code. On July 15, 2009, staff held a
roundtable with approximately 20 community and industry interests and received input on an initial set of concepts that
would form the basis for new zoning text language. On November 10, 2009, the Planning Commission held a work
session on this matter, received input from the public 8ltending end provided direCti0n to staff regarding possible changes-
0 n February 16. 2010, the Planning Commission held a second work session, again receiving input from the public, and
2uthorized staff to schedule a public hearing on the amendments, incorporating the Commission's input regarding waiter
allowances for setbacks.
Staff has incorporated the change regarding Setbacks requested by the Planning Com rrmission as well as other minor
clarifying language into the proposed amendment, (See Attachment i) To address the Oommission'5 request.
language has been added to Section 5.1,25 (f,) stating that, °the zoning administrator may reduce the minimum
required yard upon finding that: (i) there is no detriment to the abutting lot; (ii) there is no harm to the public health,
safety or welfare; end (iii) written consent has been provided by the owner of the abutting lot consenting to the
reduction.' (See Attachment II which shows this change and other clarifying language.)
BUDGET.IMPACT;
No direct impacts are anticipated, although amendrents that better define allowed uses and activities at farm
wineries consistent witty the Virginia Code should enable local winery and public interests a clearer understanding of
what is allowed and result in fewer questions of staff and greater efficiencies in use determinations and enforcement.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Staff believes that all issues that have been raised in prior discussions with community and industry interests and
PIanning Commission work sessions have been addressed by the proposed amendment. Following the required public
hearing, staff recommends approval of ZTA2 009-000 0 3 Farm Wineries as provided in Attachment I.

PL ANNI NG COM MI ION WORK SESSION: February 16, 2010
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: TBD
2"TA: ZTA2009 -00003 Farm Wineries
ORIGIN: Planning Commission Resolution of Intent (Attachment A)
PROPOSAL., Amend the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance so that its current
farm winery regulations are consistent with Virginia Code Section 15-2-2288.3,
and in order to promote the efficient and effective administration of the County's
zoning regulations and meet the intent of the County's Dural Area Plan and Rural
Areas Zoning District.
PUBLIC PURPOSE TO BE SERVED: In practice, staff has implemented the
Counter's farm winery regulations in a manner that complies with Virginia
Code Section 15,2-2288.3 since that section was rewritten in 2007. However,
staff also believes that language added in 2007 and, more recently, in 2009
that provides that "(I)ocal restriction ... shall take into account the economic
impact on the farm winery of such restriction, the .agricultural nature of such
activities and events and whether such activities and events are usual and
customary foe farm wineries throughout the Commonwealth" necessitates
more detail be incorporated into the County's ordinance provisions to assure
full consistency with the Virginia Code. Amendments that getter define
allowed uses and activities at farm wineries consistent with the Virginia Code
should provide local winery and public interests a clearer understanding of
what is allowed and result in fewer questions of staff and greater efficiencies
in use determinations. zoning clearances and enforcement.
BACKGROUND: In 1981, the County adopted amendments to the zoning
ordinance establishing a definition and supplementary regulations for farm
wineries, and establishing them as a by -right use in the Rural Areas.
Subsequent updates to these zoning provisions have been adopted over the
pears since, the last of which occurred in 2001. In 2007, the Virginias General
Assembly enacted legislation limiting 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, The Planning
Commission passed a Resolution of Intent on April 14, 2009 to consider
amendments that assure consistency of the Albemarle County zoning ordinance
provisions with the Virginia code. On ,duly 10, 2009, staff held a roundtable with
approximately 20 community and industry interests and received input on an
initial set of concepts that would form the basis for new zoning tent language.
Motes from that roundtable are included as Attachment B. On November 10,
2009 the Planning Commission held a work session on this matter, received
input from the public attending and provided direction to staff regarding possible
changes. (See Attachment )
Attachment III
STAFF COMMENT: The County's Rural Area Plan says the County will
recognize in policy development that the following, among a number of
principles, are "Important components of the Rural Areas protection of
"Albemarle County's agricultural lards as a resource base for its agricultural
industries _ _ "; provision of "support to local agricultural and forestal economies"
and connection of "local producers and consumers of rural products ": and
encouragement of "creative and diverse forms of rural production" and support of
"rural land uses that provide rural landowners with economic viability"
The purpose and intent of the Rural Areas (RA) zoning district includes as a
purpose "(p) reservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities ". It further
states, "(r)esidential development not related to bona fide agricuItrlra11forestaI use
shall be encouraged to locate In the urban area, communities and villages as
designated in the comprehensive plan" and that "(i)n relation to residential
development. agriculturaItforestaI activities shall be regulated only to the extent
necessary to protect public health and safety_" The stated intention of the RA
district is "to preserve the county's active farms and best agricultural and forestal
lands by providing lot areas designed to insure the continued availability of such
lands. _ , to enhance the economy, and maintain employment and lifestyle
opportunities. In addition, the continuation and establishment of agriculture and
agriculturally - related uses will be encouraged _ , "
It is the obvious intent of both the Counter's Rural Area Plan and the RA district to
help enable the economic viability of the County's agricultural activities such as
vineyards and wineries. This is furthermore consistent with the state's policy to
preserve the economic vitality of the state's wine industry. While staff is of the
opinion that the current local restriction of farm winery activities and events to
market and sell their products is reasonable, d is important tc be very clear in
defining "usual and customary" activities and events that do not cause a
substantial impact to public health, safety and welfare,
Under current ordinance provisions, all activities exempted under Virginia Cade
Section 15-2-2288.3.D- and E. (see Attachment D) are allowed in the Counter. In
addition, current ordinance provisions permit each winery: on -site tasting and
consumption on tap to 1500 square feet of floor area, olailyr tours; special events
(meetings, conferences, banquets, dinners, weddings, private parties and wine
mafiketing events) for up to 150 people per event up to 12 times a year; and, up
to three (3) day festivals nc more than four (4) times a year. House Sill (HB) 463,
a 2008 General Assembly bill that was not ultimately adopted, also identified a
number of "usual and customary activities and events" at farm wineries
"throughout the Commonwealth " that are generally permitted under current
county provisions such as picnics, wine tasting as part of promotions, guest
winemakers and trade accommodations of invited guests at a winery owner's
private horne, barrel tastings and wine clubs, outdoor music not audible beyond
the property line, fundraisers and charity events. exhibits and historical segments
0
related to wine, gatherings to promote wine sales, appetizers for visitors, on -site
retail of incidental items such as cork screws, and catering activities for wine
dinners and wine activities. HB 463 also identified festivals, but for up to 200
people rather than the 150 maximum the County now allows_
In consideration of the public input received during this process, direction from
the Planning Commission, principles in the County's Rural Area Plan, the
purpose and intent of the C ounty's Rural Areas zoning district and state code
provisions, staff has updated amendments to Sections 3.1, 4,15.2, 5.1.25, 10,21
and 10.2.2 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. (Attachment E)
Currently proposed changes tc the ordinance with comments on the masons for
these changes are included as Attachment f=_
In particular, staff notes the following in response to Planning Commission
direction on November 10.
- Review the agritcurism definition. The definition now proposed is the same as
the definition of "agritourism activity" Ire Virginia Code § 3.2 -6400.
- Review the farm winery definition. The requirement that farm winery lots be
contiguous was deleted to be consistent with Zoning Ordinance's definition of "farm,"
which does not require that the lots be contiguous. The proposed definition is
otherwise unchanged, but is relatively easy to administer because it depends merely
on state licensure as a farm winery.
- Review hours of operation_ The prior daft ordinance limited some uses to
between 9.00 a. m. and 6:00 p.m. Staff has deleted reference to hours of operation for
any uses and instead proposes using "normal course of business" to determine
compliance.
- The attendance limitation for oertain uses that are accessory to primary
uses should be based on "persons at any one time" vs. "persons per day"
References to attendance have been changed to "persons at any one time ".
- The 50 person limitation should be revisited for appropriateness and
enforceability. Requirements related to ever 5U persons up to 200 persons in
attendance, such as the requirement of a sketch plan, have been removed. For certain
uses where more than Z00 persons attend at any time, and attendance Is event driven
and typically in addition to people coming and going throughout the day associated
with the other typical farm winery uses, a special use permit is Still proposed.
- Address grandfathering of site plans that exist that could suffice for the
zoning clearance. There is no longer a sketch plan requirement with a zoning
clearance. A sketch plan is now only required to be submitted with an application for
a special use permit so that the potential impacts of the use can be best evaluated.
An existing site plan could be used as a sketch plan if it provides the information
required in submitting a special use permit application.
The result of changes made since the Planning Commission's work session on
November 10. 2009 reflect staffs opinion that the by -right uses that would be
allowed in the proposed ordinance will not have substantial impact on the health,
safety or welfare of the public and need not be required to undergo any special
approval by the County- Only certain uses that exoeetd 200 persons attending at
any one time were considered by staff to have the potential for impact to the
health, safety or welfare of the public and therefore are recommended to require
a special use permit - farm winery events, weddings and wedding receptions,
and other uses not expressly authorized that are agritourisni uses or wine sales
related uses which are determined by the zoning administrator to be usual and
customary uses at farm wineries throughout the Commonwealth. Prohibited
uses are now limited to restaurants and helicopter rides as staff determined that
the previously prohibited hot air balloon rides have negligible impacts and
currently exist in the County in association with other uses.
Administration 1 Review Process: Amendments that better define allowed
uses and activities at farm wineries consistent with the Virginia Code should
enable staff as well as local winery and public interests a clearer
understanding of what is allowed.
Housing Affordability: NIA
Implications to Staffing f Staffing Costs: Amendments that better define
allowed uses and activities at farm wineries consistent with the Virginia Code
should result in fewer questions of staff and greater efficiencies in use
determinations, zoning clearances and enforcement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is seeking final Planning Commission
feedback and input on the changes identified in this report. Following this work
session, staff recommends finalizing the zoning text amendment language and
scheduling a public hearing with the Albemarle County Planning Commission.

2409 farm wineries are agricultural uses.
Wayne ilimberg- He went through the Po erPoint presentation,
Jeff W,; He tanked about the Code definition of restaurant and traffic impact.
Neil; He asked what are reasonable conditions? Organization -What is by -nght? vs
what requires a zoning clearance. What about if 200 people show up at the tasting? Is
this ok? If yes or no - what is the number limit for tasting?
Neil: He referenced page 4 - I & J and asked are these a €lowed by right? Additional
uses.
Wayne Cilimberg; He said that~ in spirit of the State Cade, zoning clearance is
appropriate to make a determination not substantial impact_
Jeff_ He mentioned Items on page _b - Do all or any apply to uses permitted by -right
without a zoning clearance? What is left out?
Neil: He said ridiculous to require a zoning clearance for a picnic.
Wayne Oilirnberg, He said we will go back to see what can fit irk by -right categories.
Neil; He sald focus on the Rural Area and commerce conflict, Example - lighting in
parking lots. Talk about large items and reasonable way to mitigate impacts_
Pollock: Need people to give in the number to buy wine and l don't want to - impact on
the community. I just went through the process to bulld a winery. but I don't want further
approval.
Shelton; Had to go to the ARE with a 4 month wait. The County has a reputation for
making it difficult to sustain agriculture. Will put in rules and regulations for peak
events Context
Winery Roundtable 2 July 1. 2009
PotterfieId` A couple weddings spread apart is reasonable„
Shelton, Why not say „don't black 9 ?"
Marcia Joseph; Asked about a blanket zoning clearance
Amelia Mr ulley' Yes. Maybe need to limit only large events_
Wayne Cilimberg; He said to shorten the List and focus on those with most potential for
impact.
Who said this? Cost of zoning clearance?
Edgerton: He said that he likes separating out non - impacts vs. major impact. Noise,
traft and lighting. Could backfire (legislation) on all agricultural activities. Impact on
health, safety & welfare.
Loach; He asked how to determine substantial impact? Example Byrom Park & 50
parking spaces.
Wayne ilimberg; He said that a presumption that 200 people can potentially be
accommodated. Consider context and conditions.
King. She asked where does 200 people carne in especially if already have appfoved
entrance that can accommodate more?
Matt: He said 200 people for special events_
Wayne Cimlimberg, He said by -right — list not subject to #200 people-
Jeff - How to distinguish a large wedding and tasting at the same time?
Visitors Center: Have we chocked Napa, Sonoma, Walla Walla Washington?
Jeff: Walla Walla probably was not all licensed - some issues.
Neil: Concern understandable for wineries.
heiton: Welfare (review) in tyre weeds that can bolux up legit operation_ Allow common
sense
- Albemarle being identified as Napa of East Coast. Highest & best not to subdivide, but
wineries. Good for general welfare supporting the economy.
Jeff: Consider conservation easements,
But taking out viable option to subdivide.
Keswick Winery; Member of the conimunity can negatively affect business. Be aware
of.
II
Winery Roundtable 3 July 15, 2009
Bill E -- Speak to the concern that if not approached positively, can lead to that.
Wayne Ctlimberg, Leaving to them (wineries) to decide how to run and impacts.
King: How to consider welfare — the individual or greater public good?
PotterEield` Noise ordinance still applies.
King: Prior to conservation easement could have development number to Old Trail but
now limited to 200.
Leach- Transparency and clear so everyone knows what is required.
Marcia; Board of Supervisors involvement and publicize that we have these wineries.
Caunty (elected officials) can promote.
Shelton'. Like any industry it needs an outlet. Already have reasonable guidelines and
regulations - adding too much will be cumbersome.
Bill E - Apply for all uses up front.
Jeff Shelton: Special events,
Wayne ilimberg: We now allow only 150 people X 4 events. This is to liberalize. deed
to document what/how.
heltom Ought to be positive, not negative-
Neil: Make sure can regulate this way.
Wayne: Gou rity Attorney's office has been involved
Jay: Every business needs a zoning clearance. This is standard, not onerous- ca
hundreds of zoning clearance applications a year-
Architects: Starting winery but can't initially get farm winery.. Where does winery fit?
Easy to tell if faking it- Something to lessen cash flow.
- Future interpretation of 'event" when does a promotional activity became event?
-is 200 all day or at one time?
-Whal. if beautiful day and more than 200 arrive far tasting?
Marcia Joseph; Selling of wine related Rerns? Open up to selling produce and baked
tread Add distilleries and breweries. {apposed to WPO for protecting water quality but
afraid our requirements over - the -top?
Schoenberg-- What about Orange Co?
Pollock- Three wineries within few miles with no limitations gives them an unfair
competitive advantage of our wi nery-
Shelton: Why 200? Why not restaurant not in usual & customary list?
Winery Roundtable 4 July 15, 2009
Matt, What is considered usual & custornary can change overtime
Shelton: Want to provide some food sales with alcohol
Jake, Why is amplified sound regulated more that ex. noise ordinance?
Wayne ilimberg: asked that any comments be provided to him no later than the end of
July, Usual & customary, normal uses.
Harvest - September -end October. Alight be more helpful to have work session after
harvest.

Review the farm winery definition.
- Review hours of operation-
- The attendance limitation for certain uses that are accessory to primary uses should be based on
"persons at any one time" vs. "persons per day ".
- The 50 person limitation should be revisited for appropriateness and enforceability.
- Address grandfathering of bite plans that exist that could suffice for the zoning clearance-
The Planning Commission recessed at 5.551 p.m. for a dinner break to reconvene to the
