HomeMy WebLinkAboutCPA201600001 Resolution - Board of Supervisors 2016-04-21RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, the Cash Proffer Policy for Public Facilities was adopted as part of the County's
Comprehensive Plan on October 10, 2007 so that all new zoning map amendments that include residential
development would contribute cash to address the impacts to public facilities for schools, transportation,
public safety, parks and recreation, and libraries; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the economic recession that began in 2008, which affected the projects
in the County's capital improvements program and capital needs assessment, and an amendment to
Virginia Code § 15.2-2303.2 in 2013 that restricted the use of cash proffers to only new public facilities
or projects that expand the capacity of existing public facilities, some assumptions on which the Cash
Proffer Policy was based have changed; and
WHEREAS, Virginia Code § 15.2-2303.4 will become effective July 1, 2016 and will
substantially change the law with respect to proffers; and
WHEREAS, the Cash Proffer Policy will be inconsistent with Virginia Code § 15.2-2303.4.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity,
convenience, general welfare and good planning practices, the Albemarle County Planning Commission
hereby adopts a resolution of intent to consider amending the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan by
repealing the Cash Proffer Policy; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Albemarle County Planning Commission shall
expeditiously hold a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment proposed by this resolution of
intent and forward its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
