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.
Albemarle County
Charlottesville
1929
The first zoning code was initiated in June 17, 1929 and written by Allen Saville of Richmond, VA. [1]
1998
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. [2]
