If the Board of Supervisors should decide that delays in the consideration of new re-zoning requests would be necessary and desirable to afford the time required to accomplish this end, ~the Civic League would support such a decision by the Board. SECOND: The Civic League supports an augmentation of the Planning Department Staff to efficiently administer the existing and proposed ordinances. THIRD: The Civic League believing that the developer rather than the general public should carry at least a portion of the inevitable increase in the Planning Department budget, supports the inclusion in existing and proposed ordinances of reasonable fees to be charged to those using the services of the Department. FOURTH: The Civic League supports prompt action by the Board of Supervisors to commission a comprehensive soil survey~and soils map of Albemarle County, an invaluable tool which has been lacking. FIFTH: The Civic League supports a thorough fiscal impact study conducted by a qualified independent consultant to determine the fiscal effects of future development in Albemarle County.

Rosenblum read the following communication endoW.by, Citizens for Albemarle, Farm Bureau and Zero Population Growth: A Revised Zoning Ordinance, Site Plan Ordinance, and Revised Subdivision Ordinance are essential to provide consistent guideline~ for development and conservation of land in Albemarle County. Thus, we urge the Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution that would delay consideration of property rezoning applications for a reasonable period of time. During this time, the Planning Staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors would have the opportunity to study the ordinances; hold public hearings; and adopt ordinances which would effectively implement the Comprehensive Plan.
