Purpose

The Albemarle County Planning Commission is a public body established by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to §15.2-2210 of the Code of Virginia. The Commission’s primary role is to serve as an advisory body to the Board to promote the orderly development of the County and its environs and to accomplish the planning, zoning, and land subdivision and development objectives set forth in State law and the Albemarle County Code. The related roles of the Commission are to recommend amendments to the County’s comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, and subdivision ordinance, and to make an annual report to the Board concerning its operation and the status of planning within the County. The Commission also has specific duties related to individual zoning map amendment and land development applications.
