Albemarle County Architectural Review Board Meeting 11/09/2026

The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board held a work session on November 9, 2026. The Board approved the consent agenda, including the October minutes, and had no regular review items. Its main discussion was proposed zoning ordinance amendment TA 20253 concerning outdoor sales, storage, and displays in entrance corridors. Members supported staff’s general approach to regulating taller vehicle displays by height and distance from the corridor, but asked staff to develop alternatives for smaller retail displays and larger non-vehicle items that could avoid a full special use permit while still receiving appropriate review. Staff will return with recommendations; no ordinance action was taken.
