In April, Williams spoke out against the rezoning proposal to convert much of the city to R-1A zoning. He told [[City Council]] that the proposal would perpetuate discrimination, segregate schools, and make neighborhoods off-limits on the basis of race and class. <ref>{{Minutes-citycouncil|newid=46510|when=April 15, 1991|accessdate=July 3, 2021|id=|url=http://weblink.charlottesville.org/public/0/doc/46510/Page1.aspx}}</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''Buford Middle School''' opened in August [[1966]] as one of the [[City of Charlottesville Public Schools]]' two Junior High Schools, along with [[Walker Junior High School|Walker Junior High]] (now [[Walker Upper Elementary School]]). In 1988, it became the City's only middle school offering classes in the 7th and 8th grade. <br />
<br />
The school is named after [[Florence Buford]], who taught in the City's school system for 37 years, starting as a history teacher at Lane High in 1927, then becoming the first principal of [[Clark Elementary School]] when it opened in [[1931]], until her retirement in [[1964]].<br />

==History==<br />
The neighborhood was first settled by Irish families in the early 1800s and annexed by the [[City of Charlottesville]] in 1835. James Alexander, a newspaper editor who lived in Charlottesville in the 19th century, said the name Vinegar Hill was given to the neighborhood by George Toole in honor of his family home by the same name in Ireland.<ref name="james" /> African American families first moved to the neighborhood following the Civil War.<ref>{{cite web|title=Vinegar Hill|url=http://www.charlottesville.org/Index.aspx?page=1990|author=|work=|publisher=City of Charlottesville|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=5 Aug 2013}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Another account states that one day a barrel of vinegar fell off of the back of a truck and left the neighborhood reeking for some time. Another story is that "vinegar" was a code for liquor.<ref name="urban-renewal">{{cite web|title=Urban Renewal and the End of Black Culture in Charlottesville, Virginia: An Oral History of Vinegar Hill|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9qkzDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PT74&dq=cox%27s%20row%20charlottesville&pg=PT11#v=onepage&q&f=false|author=James Robert Saunders and Renae Nadine Shackleford|work=Book|publisher=McFarland & Company|location=Jefferson, North Carolina|publishdate=1998|accessdate=October 8, 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
The neighborhood became the center of the African-American community by the mid 1920's and was the home of many black-owned businesses.<ref name="urban-renewal" /><br />
<br />
<br />
==Urban Renewal==<br />
In 1960, Charlottesville voters approved a referendum authorizing the redevelopment of Vinegar Hill. A poll tax prevented many of the neighborhood's residents from participating in the vote. In a 1960 survey conducted by the city, 29 businesses in the Vinegar Hill neighborhood were determined to have a combined gross income of $1.6 million.<ref>{{cite book |author=James Saunders and Renae Shackelford |year=1998 |title=Urban Renewal and the End of Black Culture in Charlottesville, Virginia |edition=1st }}</ref> The area was leveled in 1964. Many of the approximately 500 displaced residents moved into the [[Westhaven]] public housing project.<ref name="apology" /><br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
Since the redevelopment was completed, it has been a point of contention in local race relations. A short documentary film chronicling the neighborhood's founding, development, and demise premiered at the [[Vinegar Hill Theater]] as part of the 2010 [[Virginia Film Festival]]. In the film, Kathy Harris, who grew up in the neighborhood, noted that after the destruction of Vinegar Hill her classmates and siblings "could not find employment here," and that "there are just no opportunities here for African American people."<ref>{{cite web|title=That World is Gone: Race and Displacement in a Southern Town|url=https://www.fieldstudiofilms.com/that-world-is-gone|author=|work=|publisher=Field Studio|location=|publishdate=November 6, 2010|accessdate=December 31, 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
On November 7, 2011, [[City Council]] approved a resolution apologizing for the redevelopment.<ref name="apology">{{cite-progress|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/charlottesville-officially-apologizes-for-razing-vinegar-hill/article_83b8aed4-2f4a-5ee2-baaa-2e7c9d43c2b0.html<br />

===Monument===<br />
The Vinegar Hill Monument Action Team of the [[Dialogue on Race]] is seeking to build a monument to the neighborhood on the grounds of the [[Jefferson School City Center]] and asked City Council in early 2012 for $24,000 from the [[Percent for Art]] fund to pay for its design.<ref>{{cite web|title=November 21, 2011 City Council Agenda|url=http://www.charlottesville.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=20564|author=|work=|publisher=City of Charlottesville|location=Page 12|publishdate=|accessdate=November 21, 2011}}</ref> Council only gave $18,000 to the design stage.<ref>{{cite-progress|title=City to vet possible designers for Vinegar Hill monument|url=http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2012/apr/14/city-vet-possible-designers-vinegar-hill-monument-ar-1842986/|author=Graham Moomaw|pageno=|printdate=April 14, 2012|publishdate=April 14, 2012|accessdate=April 16, 2012|cturl=}}</ref> Construction is budgeted between $100,000 and $200,000.

Three councilors were elected that year followed by two more in 1923. <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=McCue Bill Would Alter Election of Councilmen|url=|author=Don Devore|pageno=|printdate=January 23, 1960|publishdate=January 23, 1960|accessdate=February 20, 2016}}</ref> Prior to that, Charlottesville had a strong-mayor form of government with a bicameral legislature consisting of a Board of Alderman and a Common Council. <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=Burrows Proposes New Bill for Vote on Annexation|author=|pageno=|printdate=February , 1960|publishdate=January 5, 1960|accessdate=February 22, 2016}}</ref><br />

<div>'''Parking''' is a perennial topic of discussion in downtown [[Charlottesville]]. The city has repeatedly grappled with the difficulty of balancing the competition for limited parking among shops and restaurants and their customers, commuting workers, residents, students, tourists, government and court personnel, and others.<ref>City repeatedly grappling with parking issues (examples)<br />

==History==<br />
City Council has been wrestling with complaints about downtown parking since the 1930’s. Charlottesville’s [[West Main Streetcar|trolley]] (animal drawn in the 1880’s, electrified by 1895) displaced horses, wagons, and carriages—but was itself displaced by the automobile. By 1915 it was clear the greater convenience of the gasoline powered “jitney” would doom the trolley; by 1935 Charlottesville began paving over trolley track, making room for increasing numbers of cars.<ref>Jefferson Randolph Kean, Charlottesville’s Street Railway System and its Entrepreneurs, 1866-1936 (1980)(George Mason University) (Master’s Thesis, on deposit Albemarle Historical Society)</ref> <br />
<br />
By 1939 automobile congestion had reached the point that Charlottesville’s Chief of Police attempted to regulate parking by installing a newly invented mechanical device called the parking meter, on Main Street—now the Downtown Mall.<ref name = “Maurer”> David Maurer, Sooners dropped the coin heard across the U.S., [[The Daily Progress]], May 1, 1994 (Albemarle Historical Society clippings file) (Parking meters had been invented in Oklahoma only four years before.)</ref> “Then as now, Charlottesville’s business owners argued that business suffered when parking spots were taken up by the same car all day.”<ref name = “Maurer”/> The original 100 meters were for a ‘trial period only’, five cents for sixty minutes.”<ref>John Hammond Moore, Albemarle: Jefferson’s County 1727-1976 (1976) (University of Virginia Press) isbn 0-8139-0645-8</ref> The original 100 grew to 1000, and the three month trial extended into the next several decades.<ref name = “Maurer”/><br />
<br />
A survey of traffic in the city was conducted in 1947 by the Virginia Department of Highways and a report was published on March 1, 1948. Among the conclusions was that 80 percent of cars within the city had destinations inside of Charlottesville. <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=Study of Traffic Brings Long List of Suggestions|url=http://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2793466/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2793467/4614/938.5/3/1/0|author=Staff Reports|pageno=1|printdate=March 2, 1948|publishdate=March 2, 1948|accessdate=December 10, 2016 from University of Virginia Library}}</ref> "The practical saturation point has been reached," read the study which cataloged <br />

<br />
On September 8, 1953 City Council approved parking meters in the city-owned parking lots on High Street, Water Street, Seventh Street, and Williams Street. Meters were also approved for Jefferson Street with a two-hour limit. <ref>{{minutes-citycouncil|when=September 8, 1953|id=307384}}</ref> These meters were purchased at a cost of $21,000 but they were not installed until after the holiday shopping season that year. <ref>{{minutes-citycouncil|when=November 16, 1953|id=308830}}</ref> The Chamber of Commerce petitioned for the right to place nickels in the meters but Council denied this later that year. <ref>{{minutes-citycouncil|when=December 7, 1953|id=307475}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Meters to regulate parking notwithstanding, complaints about parking as the “number one problem for downtown Charlottesville” recurred throughout the next decades—and continue to this day.<ref>Eliot Clark (letter-to-the-editor) The Greater Value, [[The Daily Progress]], September 18, 1951 (Albemarle Historical Society clippings file)(after calling parking the number one problem, the letter opposes digging up Lee Park for a parking lot)</ref> Proposed and rejected solutions included a 1951 proposal to dig up [[Lee Park]] and turn it into underground parking.<ref> Staff, Garden Club Revives Proposal for Auto Lot Under Lee Park, [[The Daily Progress]], May 22, 1951 (Albemarle Historical Society clippings file)(digging up Lee Park was defeated in part because it appeared to be illegal under the deed by which Paul Goodloe McIntire gave the property to the city.)</ref> <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=The Lee Park Parking Proposal|url=http://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2615187/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2615191/1868/1043.5/3/1/0|author=Staff Reports|pageno=4|printdate=January 23, 1925|printdate=January 23, 1925|accessdate=May 23, 2016 from University of Virginia Library}}</ref> The recurring theme is that ”everybody wants a parking space, but very few want to pay for one;” and that “a shortage of free parking in the area makes the nearby shopping centers with their abundance of free parking more attractive.”<ref> Kathleen Brunet, City Looks At Parking Shortages, [[The Daily Progress]], July 6 1986 (Albemarle Historical Society clippings file)</ref> <br />
<br />
City Council held a public hearing to discuss an off street parking ordinance in 1956, but could not hold a debate since no one supported the measure. <ref name="Metered Lots Preferred">{{cite web |url=https://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2701511/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2701513/3170/1115/3/1/1 |title=Metered Lots Preferred - The Daily Progress |newspaper=Dailyprogress.com |pubdate=February 3, 1956 |author=staff |accessdate= November 4, 2017}}</ref> Council unanimously passed a revised measure later that year exempting Downtown and West Main to Elliewood Avenue.<ref name="Off-street parking">{{cite web |url=https://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2705122/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2705133/4616/2399/3/1/1 |title=Off-street parking - The Daily Progress |newspaper=Dailyprogress.com |pubdate=June 19, 1956 |author=staff |accessdate= November 4, 2017}}</ref> <br />

A traffic survey Charlottesville commissioned in 1957 referred to the tension between short term parking needs for shop customers and all-day parking for employees.<ref name = "1957 survey">Harland Bartholemew & Associates, A Report Upon Major Streets, Parking and Transportation, Charlottesville, Virginia, September 23, 1957 (on deposit at Albemarle Historical Society).</ref> The survey recommended increasing parking meter rates from five cents per hour to five cents per half hour, and building parking lots and garages for all-day parking.<ref name = "1957 survey"/> To compete with the convenient free parking at the then new Barracks Road Shopping Center, downtown businessmen pooled their resources in 1959 to form the Charlottesville Parking Center Inc. - a private company supplementing on-street metered spaces by subsidizing free parking for customers in lots and garages.<ref name="509 parking spaces">{{cite web |url=http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/business/for-sale-parking-spaces/article_64200a0c-0963-5d69-af6f-595966a9168b.html |title=For sale: 509 parking spaces - The Daily Progress: Business |newspaper=Dailyprogress.com |pubdate=March 19, 2007 |author=Brian McNeill |accessdate= October 6, 2015}}</ref> <br />
<br />
After converting Main Street to the Downtown Pedestrian Mall in the 1970's, City Council removed most parking meters on surrounding streets, again primarily to compete with free parking at suburban shopping malls. Council voted on September 5, 1978 to eliminate 139 meters on Market and Water Streets and 35 on [[West Main Street]]. City Manager [[Cole Hendrix]] cited the construction of [[Fashion Square Mall]] as justification for removing the parking. At the time, the existing signs for two-hour parking were erected. <ref>{{cite-progress-worrell|title=Downtown Parking Meters Banished|url=|author=Ray McGrath|pageno=|printdate=September 6, 1978|publishdate=September 6, 1978|accessdate=May 9, 2016}}</ref><br />

The [[Daily Progress]] editorialized in 1993 “increasing parking meter rates, raising parking fines, and stepping up measures to collect fines—are punitive measures that will make the mall less attractive . . .” <ref> Editorial, City parking plan should slow down, [[The Daily Progress]], September 16, 1993 (Albemarle Historical Society clippings file)</ref> The Market Street garage built in 1975, and later the Water Street Parking garage which opened in 1995, were both intended to relieve pressure on free on-street parking.<ref>Charlotte Crystal, Water Street Garage Takes Pressure off Parking, [[The Daily Progress]], May 7, 1995(Claiming that the opening of the garage has provided the downtown with ample free parking for the foreseeable future.)(Albemarle Historical Society clippings file)</ref> <br />
<br />
Hoping to strike the proper parking balance, the city has commissioned at least seven parking studies, about one a decade since the 1940's—though more often than not it has ignored the results.<ref>City commissions study; declines to implement it (examples)<br />

On April 5, 2016, City Council approved a six month test of new parking meters downtown. The western and eastern boundaries will be Second Street West and Sixth Street East, respectively. Market Street will be the northern border and the railroad tracks will serve as the southern limit. In all, 157 parking spaces would be converted to metered spots. Council voted 4-1 to approve the program with [[Bob Fenwick]] voting against. <ref>{{cite web|title=Council to discuss downtown parking meters|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/23390-downtown-parking-meters/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=April 4, 2016|accessdate=January 2, 2017}}</ref> <ref name="new meters">{{cite web |url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/23433-council-adopts-meters/ |title=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/23433-council-adopts-meters/ |newspaper=Charlottesville Tomorrow |publishdate=April 5, 2016 |author=Sean Tubbs |accessdate= January 2, 2017}}</ref> <br />

The pilot is set to begin on September 5, 2017 with a fee of $1.80 an hour in the affected areas with a two-hour maximum. A mixture of single-space and multi-space meters will be used.

<hr />
<div>'''Zoning''' is a land-use regulatory mechanism that determines what can be done with property. This article is intended to be a compendium of zoning history in both [[Albemarle County]] and [[Charlottesville]]. <br />

<br />
===1929===<br />
The first zoning code was initiated in June 17, 1929 and written by Allen Saville of Richmond, VA. The author argued for single family zoning but after community protest, the initial zoning code had two family residential as the lowest density option. <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=Altered Zone Law Commission|url=https://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2637683/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2637684/5335.5/4258.5/4/1/1|author=Staff Reports|pageno=1|printdate=June 18, 1929|publishdate=June 18, 1929|accessdate=October 9, 2017 from University of Virginia Library}}</ref><br />

{{clear}}<br />
Harland Bartholomew Associates submits a revised draft of the Charlottesville zoning ordinance to the Charlottesville Planning Commission. <ref>{{cite web|title=A Preliminary Report Upon Land Use and Zoning, Charlottesville, Virginia : Prepared for the City Planning Commission|url=https://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/u1230874|author=Harland Bartholomew and Associates|work=book and map|publisher=|location=Atlanta|publishdate=1957|accessdate=October 9, 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
===1998===<br />
The [[Charlottesville Planning Commission]] sought to implement a goal to increase home ownership in the city. They brought forth a proposal to rezone 200 properties to restrict them to single family residential. That would have eliminated several commercial uses and lowered density. <ref>{{cite-progress-mg|title=Planners to discuss city zoning proposal|url=|author=Kimberly O'Brien|pageno=|printdate=A|publishdate=|accessdate=February 20, 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
In 2003, the City of Charlottesville rewrote its zoning ordinance and increased the by-right density in many locations. {{fact}}<br />
<br />
By increasing the number of [[University of Virginia]] students who live near central grounds, the new zoning ordinance has reduced student demand for parking spaces. U.Va Architect [[David Neuman]] reported to the [[Charlottesville Planning Commission]] on June 8, 2010 that "fewer than 10% of the students" use their cars to commute to school.{{fact}}<br />

===1929===<br />
The first zoning code was initiated in June 17, 1929 and written by Allen Saville of Richmond, VA. The author argued for single family zoning but after community protest, the initial zoning code had two family residential as the lowest density option. <ref>{{cite-progress-lindsay|title=Altered Zone Law Commission|url=https://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-lib:2637683/view#openLayer/uva-lib:2637684/5335.5/4258.5/4/1/1|author=Staff Reports|pageno=1|printdate=June 18, 1929|publishdate=June 18, 1929|accessdate=October 9, 2017 from University of Virginia Library}}</ref><br />
<br />
===1998===<br />
The [[Charlottesville Planning Commission]] sought to implement a goal to increase home ownership in the city. They brought forth a proposal to rezone 200 properties to restrict them to single family residential. That would have eliminated several commercial uses and lowered density. <ref>{{cite-progress-mg|title=Planners to discuss city zoning proposal|url=|author=Kimberly O'Brien|pageno=|printdate=A|publishdate=|accessdate=February 20, 2016}}</ref><br />
