Agenda Item

19. 21-296 ZTA 201900008 Section 33-Zoning Text Amendments, Zoning Map Amendments, Special Use Permits and Special Exceptions. To receive comments on a proposed ordinance amending Sec. 18-33.1 (Introduction) through Sec. 18-33.54 (Withdrawing an application) of Chapter 18 (Zoning) of the Albemarle County Code Section 18-33 establishes the procedures and requirements for Zoning Text Amendments (ZTAs), Zoning Map Amendments (ZMAs), Special Use Permits (SPs) and Special Exceptions (SEs). The proposed ordinance would reorganize submittal requirements, review procedures, and notification requirements for all Zoning Text Amendments, Zoning Map Amendments, Special Use Permits, and Special Exceptions, and would revise, clarify and standardize the text. Among other revisions, the primary proposed substantive changes would: (1) correct existing and previous errors in references within the ordinance (County Code § 18-33); (2) clarify the procedures to determine if any application is complete or incomplete (County Code § 18-33.4 and § 18-33.5); (3) add non-severability language to conditions associated with a special exception (County Code § 18-33.9); (4) allow for review of projects while in state of deferral (County Code § 18-33.11); (5) provide that once a deferred application is reactivated, the timeline for review is reset (County Code § 18-33.11); (6) allow for the collection of a new fee for a reactivated application (County Code § 18-33.11); and (7) provide that an application is deemed withdrawn if a deferral request is accepted and the project is not reactivated within six months (County Code § 18-33.11).
