This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses. |
Vision
Crozet is and will continue to be a small town with a “small town feel.” It will have distinct neighborhoods, a historic downtown area, and industries that support the county, state and nation. Downtown will be a vibrant place with a library, employment area, shops and housing. Parks and open space will be key features of the community. Trails and greenways will link other important centers to provide ways for people to walk and bicycle throughout the community.[2]
Guiding Principles
- Existing neighborhoods and the Downtown area will be preserved; new or infill development will be appropriate in scale and type to these existing growth patterns.
- Multiple transportation options and multimodal infrastructure will be provided to support access throughout the community. Pedestrian and bicycle options should be provided for as alternative transportation choices.
- The housing stock in Crozet should continue to provide choices in affordability and building types, as it attracts people from many social and economic backgrounds.
- Locally grown businesses are supported for their contributions in providing both jobs and an enhanced quality of life for residents.
- Crozet values and will protect its natural resource assets through a variety of cultivation, recreation, and conservation efforts.
- Crozet will continue to encourage a sense of community through its history, diverse activities, institutions, and interests.
- Community facilities and services must accommodate the changing needs of the community as it grows over time.
Adoption and revision
Original adoption
The plan was adopted on December 1, 2004, as the result of a two-year process involving the community, staff and other stakeholders. Implementation is overseen by the Crozet Community Advisory Council.[2]
2010 update
A five-year revision was adopted on October 13, 2010. The revision process began in 2009, when planners held five community forums to consider changes. Then, the Crozet Community Advisory Council recommended changes to the Albemarle Planning Commission. The commission held work sessions and a public hearing to review the proposals. Finally, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors adopted the updated plan. [2]
.
Yancey Mills Expansion
One of the most controversial items discussed was a comprehensive plan amendment to bring 184 acres in Yancey Mills and owned by the Yancey family into the designated growth area, to accommodate a proposed business park.[3] At a public forum on January 28, 2010, citizens and members of the Crozet Community Advisory Council were mostly critical of the planned expansion.[4]
Population projections
The population of Crozet was estimated to be 5,501 in 2010. [2] The master plan projects that there will be up to 12,000 Crozet residents in 2030, but land use designations on the master plan map implied that there could be as many as 24,760 residents. Mike Marshall, chair of the Crozet Community Advisory Council and editor-publisher of the Crozet Gazette, said that measures should be taken to prevent such rapid growth.[5] In June 2009, seven hundred people filled out a survey conducted by the Crozet Community Advisory Council. One of the top concerns expressed by respondents was population growth. They wanted to see population limits included in the 2010 master plan update, as well as protections for existing neighborhoods.[6]
Current Revision
The Crozet Master Plan was supposed to be updated in 2015, but the revision was delayed due to limited county resources available to undertake the process. In March 2016, the committee passed a resolution requesting information on the current population of Crozet. [7]
At the July 20, 2016 Crozet Community Advisory Committee meeting, committee chair David Stoner said it may be a few years before county staff would be able to undertake a revision process. At the same meeting, some community members expressed interest in starting the revision process with a community survey and public meetings sponsored by Crozet's civic organizations, including the Crozet Community Association and the Crozet Board of Trade.[8]
2019 review begins
County staff turned their attention to the plan with a series of individual chapter reviews with the Crozet Community Advisory Committee beginning with a look at the transportation chapter on March 13, 2019, with a parks and green systems review on April 10, 2019. The future land use chapter was discussed on May 8, 2019.
