NTS TO~.JLBEM~ COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Include, beginning on page 79 of the Plan, two new objectives to read as follows: A. Agricultural Objective. .~ricultural lands are designed primarily to accommodate farming and kind~ed rural occupations, while the basic aim is to preserve and promote this utilization of the land, the uses permitted are broad enough to allow development of residential areas or it is recognized that certain desirable rural areas may logically be expected to develop in this manner. It is the intent, however, to discourage the random scattering of residential, commercial, or industrial uses in agricultural districts. Respect the values and objectives of forestry and agriculture as an employment base; and as a means of defining and contain- ing urban communities, while guaranteeing the preservation of opmu land which establishes the character and beauty of Albemarle County. In order to effectively implement the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to agriculture, a model ordinance for "special assessments" of agriculture, forest, horticulture should be adopted as soon as feasible. Agricultural lands should be located in areas whose soils and terrain are most conducive to such activity and the maintenance of such land shall be encouraged. September 16, 1971 B. Oonservation Obi ectives. Conservation areas should be used to preserve the natural resources and agricultural activity of the Gounty, including the natural, scenic, and historic beauty of the County. These areas should be pro- tected from commercial, industrial, and intensive residential development. Conservation areas should be classified according to their natural resources, scenic, and/or historic value and appropri- ate controls should be provided to encourage use and preser- vation of these areas. Respect conservation Values, including the preservation of stream valleys, mo~uutain slopes, watersheds, areas of scenic and natural beauty, and other open space areas. Conservation lands should be designed in areas of poor soil, rugged terrain, those prone to flooding, and the watersheds of public water supplY impoundments. Conservation lands should be designated for areas where natural scenic vistas are deserving of protection. In order to effectively implement the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to conservation, a model ordinance for "special assessments" of conservation areas should be adopted as soon as feasible. II~.~ Include the following statements or additional items to the Section on "Goals" as found on page ~3 of the written text. A. Respect the values and objectives of forestry and agricutttu~e as an ~ employment ba se. In order to effectively implement the Comprehensive Plan, the forthcoming revised subdivision control, siltation control, and zoning ordinance; the new site development plan control ordinance, and a model ordinance for "special assessments" of agriculture, forestry, horticulture, or open space real estate should be adopted respectively, without delay. III. Change the wording of Item 2(A) under Natural l~esource Objective to read: "The 100-year f~ood plains of stream valleys, as mapped by the U.S. Corp of Engineers and the Soil Conservation District." IV. Under "A Suggested Program of Action" on page 113 under Item i, change the word "breeds" to read "encourages". This occurs in two places. Under "A Suggested Program of Action" on page 114, add a fourteenth item to read: "Participate in regional planning and cooperation through Planning District Ten to provide the most efficient use and preservation of our natural resources." Under "Historic Preservation Objectives" as found on page 76, add a twelfth item to be worded as follows: "The Town of Scottsville, having historical significance, is to be protected and preserved as an asset to the State of Virginia amd Albemarle County.

Amend the P~blic Facility Plan, on page 108 to reflect a relo- cation of the Scottsville Treatment Plant so as not to conflict with the area's water ~upply. Amend the description of public facilities serving Scottsvitle to reflect the present owner~ship, that of the Albemarle ~County Service Auth~.~ty. (Page 18 and 18 of the written text.) III. Amend the Land Use Eap of the "Scottsvitle Plan" to correctly reflect the location of certain roads in the area as follows: A. Show State Route 790 as it exists as of this date.
