RE: ZMA201600013 — Willow Glen Proffer Amendment
Dear Mrs. Long:
We received a request by email from Nicole Scro on July 12, 2017, to extend the indefinite
deferral for ZMA201600013 — Willow Glen Proffer Amendment per Section 33.4(r)(2) of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance which states:
"When application deemed withdrawn. An application shall be deemed to have been
voluntarily withdrawn if the applicant requested that further processing or formal action
on the application be indefinitely deferred and the commission or the board of
supervisors is not requested by the applicant to take action on the application within one
(1) year after the date the deferral was requested. Upon written request received by the
director of planning before the one (1) year period expires, the director may grant one
extension of the deferral period for a period determined to be reasonable, taking into
consideration the size or nature of the proposed use, the complexity of the review, and the
laws in effect at the time the request for extension is made. Upon written request received
by the clerk of the board of supervisors before the extension of the deferral period
granted by the director expires, the board of supervisors may grant one additional
extension of the deferral period determined to be reasonable, taking into consideration the
size or nature of the proposed use, the complexity of the review, and the laws in effect at
the time the request for extension is made. The timely receipt by the clerk of the
extension request shall toll the expiration of the extended deferral period until the board
acts on the request."
The ZMA application submitted on June 20, 2016, was indefinitely deferred at your request on
August 25, 2016. Ms. Scro indicated in her email that the current request for an extension of this
deferral beyond August 25, 2017, is based on the desire to further investigate adding commercial
elements to the Willow Glen development and possibly entering into a partnership with another
local builder. Based on these circumstances, I hereby grant an extension of the deferral until
August 25, 2018.

Please keep in mind this extension only applies to your original proffer amendment request. Any
other proposed revisions to the approved Willow Glen rezoning may be determined to be a new
and separate request from the application originally submitted on June 20, 2016.
Please also be aware that any modifications to the original application should be resubmitted
before the end of June to ensure a Planning Commission public hearing before August 25, 2018.
To do so, please use this form:

Should you desire a further extension of the deferral beyond August 25, 2018, a written request
with justification must be made to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors by that date. The Board
can only grant one additional extension of the deferral period.
It is my hope this extension will enable ZMA201600013 Willow Glen Proffer Amendment to go
to public hearing with the Planning Commission before August 25, 2018. Please coordinate with
J.T. Newberry, Senior Planner, regarding the submittal of new information and scheduling this
proposal for a Planning Commission public hearing date. Please do not hesitate to contact me
should ypu have any questions.
