A big meeting. A big conversation about a big project in Crozet, the Crozet Sports facility, and a big conversation about a tiny rezoning for 6 great houses along Jarmans Gap.

Read all the tweets. Please.

Video at the bottom of this post.

The agenda for the meeting is here.

• Meg Nedostup from the County gave an overview of zoning and the comp plan.
  • Here is her slide deck.
• Crozet Sports
  • Short summary – big project with a huge positive community impact that is raising concerns with neighbors.
  • He is a good speaker, and saying all the right things (and means it). Y’all need to watch the video when @CrozetGazette puts it up.
  • They are looking to build a community hub, sports for kids and adults,
  • Look at Crozet Sports’ building page
  • Traffic from this project would be less than with the 90 homes that would go there otherwise.
    • Video of the traffic engineer describing how houses generate ~10 car trips per day
• Here is the slide deck.
• So much was covered. Please read all the tweets.
• For archival’s sake, here’s one of the Nextdoor posts.

• Bamboo Grove
  • Small project, rezoning from R2 to R4; it would be 6 single family housing units
  • Chris Fuller’s slide deck. For posterity, the PDF is here, too.
  • This was a great discussion about more than a simple rezoning (just do it; it’s a small and great project), it was an informative lesson about housing affordability, and how greater density leads to greater affordability.
    • And also how building smaller, more efficient houses is part of the solution

Everything changes.
