The Charlottesville City Council met in a hybrid work session with the Charlottesville Planning
Commission on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at 5:30 p.m., with in-person participation and
electronic participation via the Zoom platform.

Chair Lyle Solla-Yates called the meeting to order. The following City Council members were in
attendance at CitySpace: Mayor Lloyd Snook, Vice Mayor Wade and Councilors Payne and
Pinkston. Councilor Magill participated electronically from her home in Charlottesville via Zoom
because of a medical condition that prevented her from attending in person.

James Freas, Director of Neighborhood Development Services, stated the purpose for the meeting:
to gather City Council and Planning Commission feedback on the draft Zoning Diagnostic and
Approach report and the draft inclusionary Zoning Analysis. This meeting marked a milestone for
the end of the first phase of the Zoning Rewrite Project and the beginning of the next phase. Mr.
Freas mentioned that this was also the third part of the Cville Plans Together Program:
       Part 1: Affordable Housing Plan, March 2021
       Part 2: Comprehensive Plan, November 2021
       Part 3: Zoning Rewrite Project

The agenda included:

1. Introductions
2. Presentation
        a. Report Overview
        b. Summer 2022 Engagement Activities and Input Overview
        c. Overview of Reports & Updates d. Next Steps
3. Discussion of Key Questions and Other Planning Commission & City Council Input

Community members were invited to share written comments to be included in the meeting
minutes. Comments were accepted on paper at the meeting or via email
(engage@cvilleplanstogether.com).

The draft document identified issues with the existing Zoning Ordinance and established a
proposed approach to the zoning rewrite to bring the Zoning Ordinance into consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan; however, the project at the time of presentation was not proposing a draft
zoning map or draft zoning text.
The document walked through analysis and recommendations related to Inclusionary Zoning and
identified draft recommendations for incentivizing the inclusion of affordable units (less than
market rate) in development or redevelopment projects.

Members of the consulting team were present and answered questions for councilors and
commissioners.

The meeting adjourned at 8:49 p.m.
