BACKGROUND: On May 12, 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted ZTA 2009-09 - a zoning text amendment to establish county-wide certificates of appropriateness, to allow expedited review of certain categories of development in the Entrance Corridors. For each category of development, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) adopts a set of criteria against which proposals are reviewed. Applications received under any category of development are reviewed by staff according to the ARB-adopted criteria, without being heard at an ARB meeting. This process streamlines development review and allows for quicker review times. Previously, as part of the Board adoption of ZTA 2019-06 to establish the Rio29 Form-Based Code (FBC), a new category of county-wide certificate was added for new structures, site changes, or reuse of existing structures in the Rio29 FBC Overlay District. (See Attachment A for a current list of county-wide certificates of appropriateness.) During the review of ZMA-2010-18 (Crozet Square), staff recognized that the county-wide certificate of appropriateness process also could be used to streamline the review of development proposals for sites subject to public-private partnerships.
