This stuff matters, folks. And the voices that speak up are the ones that are heard, and the ones that write the policies we live with.
6pm on 1 September. See here how to attend.

The Board of Supervisors directed staff to begin work on the Crozet Master Plan update on September 4, 2019. The purpose of this work session is to provide the Planning Commission with an update about public feedback related to land use and to receive the Commission’s guidance on revised land use categories.(Andrew Knuppel)
And from the PDF
Discussion/Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Commission review the attached background information,feedback summaries,and draft land use information and provide direction to staff on the questions below.
Q1 Do you agree with staff’s recommendation to create a Middle Density Residential land use category to support the stated goals within Crozet?
Q2 Do you see applicability for this category in similar contexts in other areas of the County (to be considered with future Master Plan updates)?
Q3 Do you have any feedback on the recommended density, housing types, or form guidance within the land use table?
Q4 Do you agree with staff’s recommendation to create a Downtown Neighborhoods Overlay to support the stated goals within this area of Crozet?
Q5 Do you have any feedback on the recommended criteria for increased density, housing types, or form guidance within the land use table?
I’ve put the PDF here, so that it will be here the next time Albemarle changes their website and urls.
My feeling is that zoning and the opinion of the land owners matter far more than public opinion and the guidance of a ‘Master Plan’. A land owner can always modify zoning with the right ‘pitch’.
