The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) helps coordinate planning across a wide variety of jurisdictions and regulatory agencies. In 1962, U.S. Congress mandated the creation of a [[MPO Policy Board|Metropolitan Planning Organization]] (MPO) for each Urbanized Area with a population greater than 50,000. MPOs were created for the purpose of managing a regional scope for transportation planning. They raise no revenues of their own and act essentially as advisory bodies to the elected governments within their jurisdiction The TJPDC serves the [[Charlottesville|City of Charlottesville]], [[Albemarle County]], [[Fluvanna County]], [[Greene County]], [[Louisa County]], and [[Nelson County]].<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
<br />
The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission is one of 21 such organizations in Virginia. The TJPDC's work is managed by a professional staff in cooperation with elected officials and citizens appointed by local and regional governments. <br />
<br />
The Planning District Commissions aims is to "encourage and facilitate regional solutions to problems of area-wide significance." <ref>[http://www.tjpdc.org/home/PDCinfo.asp TJPDC About Page</ref> <br />
<br />
According to their website, TJPDC performs the following services: <br />
<br />
* Grant applications<br />
* Management for grant programs<br />
* Regional economic development planning, including feasibility and locational studies<br />
* Strategic planning for each region<br />
* Evaluation of opportunities for local cost savings<br />
* Land use planning services<br />
* Emergency preparedness<br />
* Water supply, solid waste, and other environmental resource planning, funding, and development<br />
* Technical assistance to smaller communities<br />
* Mapping and information services<br />
* Transportation planning<br />
* Liaison between localities and state agencies<br />
* Welfare reform planning and coordination<br />
* Administration of federal housing program funds<br />
* Collecting and maintaining data in cooperation with the Virginia Employment Commission<br />
* Holding regional forums and meetings to explore regional cooperation on issues such as sustainable development and growth management.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The TJPDC was created in 1972 in order to "promote the orderly and efficient development of the physical, social, and economic elements of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District by planning and encouraging and assisting governmental subdivisions to<br />
plan for the future.<ref>United Jefferson Area Mobility Plan 2035. Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, 27 May 2009. Web. 30 June 2009. <http://www.unjam.org/>.</ref>.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current members of board==<br />
<br />
==Current Staff==<br />
Stephen W. Williams, Executive Director (May 2009-Present)<br />
<br />
== Funding ==<br />
<br />
* Annual contributions from local government<br />
* Appropriations of the Virginia General Assembly<br />
* Grants from federal and state governments<br />
* Contract services<br />
* Private foundations <br />
<br />
"In many instances, state funding of PDCs makes up less than 12% of funding to deliver essential services to local and state government. The largest source of funding is the federal government, which contributes 39%."<br />
<br />
Planning District Commissions have demonstrated success and effectiveness statewide, and should be seen as part of "the solution" - playing essential roles in support of economic development and basic infrastructure and services for our communities.<br />
<br />
They partner with Commonwealth agencies like VDOT to accomplish state projects and reduce the need for more state personnel.<br />
<br />
Planning District Commissions use a small amount of state funding and leverage that funding many times over to deliver essential services in communities across the Commonwealth. The State investment is small and the returns great in support of State objectives.<br />
<br />
They are a single comprehensive statewide network that achieves economies of scale through regional approaches.<br />
<br />
Planning District Commissions work on a broad range of programs important to the State's future. <br />
<br />
==Memberships==<br />
<br />
TJPDC is a member of the [http://www.vapdc.org/ Virginia Association of Planning District Commissions].<br />
<br />
==Former Leaders==<br />
<br />
[[Harrison Rue]], Executive Director (2002-2008). Harrison Rue stepped down June 30, 2008 to take a position with ICF International. Chief Operating Officer Billie Campbell served as the acting executive director while a search took place during 2008-2009. That search resulted in the hiring of [[Stephen W. Williams]] who started work on May 11, 2009.<br />
<br />
TJPDC is run by a board of directors comprised of representatives from each of the member jurisdictions.<br />

<div>[[Image:Unjam2035logo.gif|right|thumb]]<br />
The United Jefferson Area Mobility Plan, or UNJAM 2035, is the long-range transportation plan for the entirety of Virginia Planning District 10, which includes the area covered by the [[MPO|Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization]] as well as [[Nelson]], [[Louisa]], [[Fluvanna]], [[Greene]], and [[Albemarle]] counties. The initial document was prepared by the [[Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission]] (TJPDC) and adopted by the MPO Policy Board at their meeting on May 28, 2009<ref>Tubbs, Sean J. "MPO discusses new branding for Charlottesville Transit; I-64 Interchanges at 5th Street and Shadwell to get improved ramps." Weblog post. Charlottesville Tomorrow News Center. Charlottesville Tomorrow, 29 May 2009. Web. 30 June 2009. <http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2009/05/mpo_may_2009.html>.</ref>. The new plan is an update of [[UNJAM 2025]], which was adopted in 2004. <br />
<br />
UNJAM 2035 is currently being augmented to incorporate TJPDC's Rural Long Range Plan. A rural public participation process is being conducted over the summer and early fall of 2009, which will include a booth at a fair in each representative county. TJPDC will seek endorsement from Planning Commissions and Boards of Supervisors from each of the rural jurisdictions in the region by December of 2009. The ultimate goal is to integrate the transportation plans and project lists for both rural and urban areas into one regional document.<br />
<br />
==Philosophy==<br />
<br />
The philosophy on which UNJAM 2035 is perhaps best encapsulated by the document's preamble:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''Preamble:''' The era of cheap oil is over. This fact, coupled with the adverse effects on our<br />
climate caused by the consumption of fossil fuels, will increase the need and<br />
demand for alternatives to the fossil fuel-powered automobile.</blockquote><br />
<br />
It is believed that many of theses issues related to transportation ought to be addressed from a regional scope.<br />
<br />
==Regional Mobility Goals==<br />
UNJAM 2035 sets a variety of goals in order to meet the regional vision set forth in the document. {{fact}}<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The Thomas Jefferson Planning District's transportation system will provide<br />
safe, sustainable, efficient and attractive multimodal choices, support the<br />
movement of people, goods and services and protect the environment, our<br />
communities and quality of life, while addressing regional and statewide<br />
transportation needs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
===Improved, Expanded Roadway Network===<br />
*More complete network of parallel and connector roads<br />
*Re-engineer existing roads for increased capacity, safety, and enhanced business environment<br />
*Develop new roadway designs for balanced, multi-modal performance<br />
===Efficient Transit System integrated with other travel modes=== <br />
*Develop Enhanced Bus, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), or Streetcars for fast, frequent, dependable service on major corridors<br />
*Commuter Express service to outlying areas<br />
*Improve Regional Rail service<br />
*System improvements for downtown and neighborhoods<br />
*Technology implementation to maximize efficiency and convenience<br />
<br />
===Pedestrian Friendly Streets and Highways===<br />
*Complete and connect sidewalk system<br />
*Safe, usable crosswalks with pedestrian refuges<br />
*Better lighting, signage, landscaping and signals<br />
===Complete Bicycle Network and Amenities===<br />
*On-road bike lanes on urban streets<br />
*Off-road multi-purpose trails along major corridors<br />
*Protected parking at all destinations<br />
===Improved Integration & Support for Ridesharing and Travel Demand Management=== <br />
*Designated travel lanes for car/vanpoolers<br />
*Enhance employer-based incentives<br />
*Improve and increase park and ride lots<br />
*Improve coordination of TDM strategies with work, education and special events<br />
===Safe & Efficient Freight Movement===<br />
*Separate freight movements from passenger travel where possible<br />
*Support on-time delivery needs of business and industry<br />
===Policy and Regulatory Changes===<br />
*Amend codes and standards for more flexible roadway and development designs<br />
*Adjust funding formulas to deliver a truly multi-modal system<br />
*Expand modeling and forecasting to coordinate transportation and land use planning<br />
<br />
==Satisfying federal regulations==<br />
One of the main purposes of UNJAM 2035 is to satisfy federal regulations. Both the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration require that any project that is to receive federal funding must be part of a long-range transportation plan. Furthermore, that plan must be fiscally-constrained. That means long-range plan can only include projects which have a reasonable chance of being funded over its 20-year timeframe. <br />
<br />
However, the rural long range plan does not have to be fiscally-constrained. Although the rural element is not a federal requirement, the Code of Virginia has recently required an Rural Long-Range Plan (RLRP) from each planning district. Once UnJAM 2035 is completed, it will be incorporated into VDOT's State Highway Plan, which will be one component of the Virginia Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan (VTRANS). <br />

<hr />
<div>Albemarle County is located county in Central Virginia. The County seat is in [[Charlottesville]], though the two jurisdictions are separate. A portion of the [[University of Virginia|University of Virginia's]] Central Grounds is also located within an island of Albemarle County. <br />
<br />
In 2005, the US Census estimated Albemarle County's population at 92,035<ref>http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/51/51003.html</ref> people. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
The county has a total area of 726 square miles. Much of it can be explored using the County's [http://gisweb.albemarle.org/ Geographic Information Service].<br />
<br />
35 square miles (5%) of Albemarle County has been set aside as [[Designated Growth Areas]] while the remainder of the County lies in the Rural Areas. The County conducts planning efforts to channel growth into Development Areas in order to maintain the rural character of the County, facilitate economical service delivery and to promote neighborhood-style development as the preferred design.<br />
<br />
== County Government ==<br />
<br />
The County's legislative body is the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]]. Various [[County Boards and Commissions|boards and commissions]] help provide guidance to the Board as well as to the County Staff. A [[County Executive]] is hired by the Board of Supervisors to implement their policies, prepare and execute the [[Albemarle County Budget|budget]], and to direct day-to-day operations of the County government.<br />
<br />
The County is split into six Magisterial Districts: [[White Hall]], [[Scottsville Magisterial District|Scottsville]], [[Samuel Miller]], [[Jack Jouett Magisterial District|Jack Jouett]], [[Rio Magisterial District|Rio]], and [[Rivanna Magisterial District|Rivanna]]. A full map is available [http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/community_development/forms/county_maps/Magisterial_Districts_and_Voting_Precincts.pdf here].<br />
<br />
County government is guided by the [http://www.albemarle.org/department.asp?department=ctyexec&relpage=4413 County's Strategic Plan] which sets benchmarks for key goals. The goals for the current strategic plan are as follows:<br />
<br />
*Enhance the Quality of Life<br />
*Protect Natural Resources<br />
*Develop Infrastructure<br />
*Fund the Future<br />
*Manage Growth<br />
<br />
All planning in the County is guided by the [[Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan|Comprehensive Plan]], which was adopted in 1980. <br />
<br />
=== Vision statement ===<br />
"Albemarle County will feature walkable and self sufficient communities. The Countryside will be rural. The County's natural resources and natural beauty will be maintained. The County's educational system will be world class and the County's quality of life will be exceptional."<br />
<br />
===Mission statement===<br />
<br />
===Affordable Housing===<br />
<br />
The County adopted an affordable housing program in 2004.<ref>[http://www.c-ville.com/Portlet/Print_Friendly.php?Print=Article&z_Article_ID=1892509061501917 C-Ville Weekly News in Review], October 2007></ref><br />
<br />
"To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds."<br />
<br />
== Land Use Plan ==<br />
<br />
Additionally, a master plan has been created for [[Crozet Master Plan|Crozet]].<br />
<br />
Other master plans include [[Places29 Master Plan]], the [[Pantops Master Plan]], and the [[Rivanna Village Master Plan]]. Plans to begin a [[Southern Urban Area Master Plan]] will commence in 2008.<br />
<br />
== Communities ==<br />
<br />
While Albemarle County only has one independent town, there are several distinct [[Communities|communities]] in the County. <br />
<br />
[[Scottsville]] is an independent town located along the James River in the southern part of the County. It has its own town council and police force. <br />
<br />
Unincorporated areas include [[Crozet]], [[Batesville]], [[Earlysville]], <br />
[[Free Union]], [[Ivy]], [[Keene]], [[North Garden]], [[Keswick]] and [[Covesville]]. Future growth in Crozet is being guided by the [[Crozet Master Plan]]<br />
<br />
== Infrastructure ==<br />
<br />
The County's water supply is managed by the [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority]]. The County Executive serves as one of five voting members of the RWSA's Board of Directors. Albemarle County residents on public water pay their bills to the [[Albemarle County Service Authority]], which maintains the delivery to its customers. <br />
<br />
The County does not currently build its own roads, but there has been discussion of taking on more responsibility to build and finance road projects. The County has a priority list for how Virginia Department of Transportation funding should be spent on both primary and [[Albemarle County Secondary Six-Year Priority List|secondary roads]].<br />
<br />
The County has its own [[Albemarle County Fire and Rescue Department|Fire and Rescue Department]].<br />

<hr />
<div>==Definition==<br />
A community land trust is a private non-profit corporation created to acquire and hold land for the benefit of a community and provide secure affordable access to land and housing for community residents. <ref>[http://www.iceclt.org/clt/ Institute for Community Economics - Community Land Trusts]</ref><br />
<br />
A CLT holds title to a piece of land but sells the home or improvements located on the land to specifically targeted buyers. The land on which the home sits is then leased to the homeowner at a reduced price.<br />
<br />
A homeowner's return on investment on a home on CLT property is limited by a resale formula calculated by the specific CLT. This resale formula limits the profit that a homeowner can make when selling their property to ensure the long term affordability of the home.<br />
<br />
==Purpose==<br />
Generally CLTs are meant to serve medium to low income homeowners by offering the option of purchasing a home without having to incur the cost of purchasing the land on which the home sits. Since the cost of purchasing land is removed from the cost of the home CLTs allow people to buy homes who otherwise may not have been able to afford the down-payment or mortgage costs.<br />
