First, from Sean Tubbs’ Charlottesville Community Engagement
The Crozet Master Plan is part of Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan and an update has been in development for the past two years. The draft has been produced internally by planners in the Albemarle Department of Community Development and is similar in design to the Rio Road / 29 Small Area Plan and the update of the Pantops Master Plan. There are five chapters in the 137-page plan. A questionnaire is open through September 14, which is also the day of the public hearing before the Albemarle Planning Commission. The Board of Supervisors will hold their public hearing on October 20. (read the draft here)
And from Albemarle County
| The Draft Crozet Master Plan is Complete — Read the Plan, Share Your Feedback, and Attend the Public Hearings Since September 2019, Albemarle County has been exploring, alongside the Crozet community, how to best reflect the community’s vision for the future of Crozet in the latest update to the Crozet Master Plan. The Crozet Master Plan includes 5 chapters: Introduction, Transportation, Land Use, Conservation, and Implementation. This summer, community members shared their priorities for recommended projects in the Implementation Chapter and shared feedback on an earlier draft Master Plan. Community members participated through an online questionnaire, at virtual Crozet Community Advisory Committee meetings, and in-person at community pop-ups. The latest draft Master Plan that incorporates comments and feedback is now available to review online! Online Questionnaire Through Tuesday, September 14th Review the draft plan and share your feedback via the online questionnaire. You may also submit your comments directly to Rachel Falkenstein, Planning Manager [email protected] Your feedback will be shared with the Albemarle County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors at upcoming public hearings. Public Hearings You are welcome to attend these public hearings which will be held virtually (meeting access information will be added to the County calendar soon): Planning Commission Public Hearing – Tuesday, September 14th at 6pm Board of Supervisors Public Hearing – Wednesday, October 20th at 6pm |
| What Is a Master Plan? A Master Plan is a collaboratively developed document that describes a community’s vision for future development, using text, maps, and diagrams. In Albemarle County, Master Plans are used to guide future public and private development and to coordinate and prepare more detailed plans. Master Plan Update Process The public participation process for the Crozet Master Plan includes four phases: – Phase 1 focused on updating the community’s vision and guiding principles that lay the foundation for the Master Plan document. – Phase 2 involved Focus Area Input and Design Strategies. During this phase, staff worked with the community to identify specific recommendations and associated updates to maps on the topics of Character/Land Use, Connectivity/ Transportation, Conservation/ Parks & Green Systems, and Implementation. – Phase 3 consisted of a period of recommendations drafting and refinement. – Phase 4 (current phase) will include drafting each chapter and taking the Final Master Plan Draft through public comment, public hearings, and approval processes.
