REVIEWED BY:
Benish, Cilimberg, McDowell
BACKGROUND:
The Rural Areas Zoning District does not recognize the activities of Monticello as a historic house, an educational facility,
a tourist attraction, and its other related uses. It is in operation as a non - conforming use and, as such, its activities and
building expansions are limited. The creation of the Planned District Monticello Historic District (PDMHD), would allow
Monticello to continue its activities and would allow expansion subject to an approved plan.
It was determined that the Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA 04 -03) and Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA 04- 04 -05)
currently being proposed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation would replace, rather than amend, their previous
applications (ZTA 00 -02 and ZMA 01 -010) that were deferred in 2002. A Resolution of Intent for the previous
applications to create a new zoning district was approved by the Planning Commission, at the time of their review.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Resolution of Intent would allow amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, in order for ZTA 04 -03 and ZMA
04 -05 Planned District- Monticello Historic District (PD -MHD) to proceed. The Resolution does not alter the application
or intentions of the applicant, as described at the Planning Commission work session on June 8.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution of Intent that would allow ZTA 04 -03 and ZMA 04 -05 to proceed.

RESOLUTION OF INTENT
