BACKGROUND: Albemarle County is updating the Comprehensive Plan through the Albemarle County 2044 (AC44) project, which is currently in Phase 2. Deliverables for Phase 2 include draft Goals and Objectives for each Comprehensive Plan chapter and Planning Toolkits for coordinated land use and transportation planning. The draft Goals and Objectives for each Comprehensive Plan chapter are developed through collaboration by an interdisciplinary team of staff, in coordination with partner agencies, by reviewing the current (2015) Comprehensive Plan, incorporating best planning practices, using the AC44 Framework, and incorporating community, staff, Planning Commission, and Board of Supervisors input. The draft Goals and Objectives are provided as Attachment A, with no changes from the earlier draft shared with the Board on the Consent Agenda for February 21, 2024.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality of life - Encourage a vibrant community with economic and recreational opportunities that serve all community members.
DISCUSSION: At their February 13 and February 27, 2024, work sessions, the Planning Commission provided feedback on draft Goals and Objectives for Community Facilities, in addition to Development Areas Land Use and Transportation, Community Facilities and Rural Area Land Use and Transportation. The staff report on Community Facilities, covering both work sessions, is provided in Attachment B, which includes a topic overview, key themes from community input, and high-level updates from the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
Staff seeks the Board’s feedback on the attached draft Goals and Objectives (Attachment A). The Goals and Objectives attachment also includes a topic report with an introduction, summary of Phase 2 community input, recent data and trends, and connections to the AC44 Framework. The draft Goals and Objectives are listed under the ‘Draft Goals and Objectives’ section of the topic report.
During the work session, staff will share a brief overview of the draft Goals and Objectives for Community Facilities, along with a summary of the Planning Commission’s feedback, and then ask for the Board’s input, including any additions or changes based on the Commission’s feedback. After this work session, staff will update all Goals and Objectives and move into AC44 Phase 3 (Action Steps, metrics, and Plan prioritization).
