Albemarle County Planning Commission Meeting 06/09/2026

The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a work session on June 9, 2026, focusing primarily on the implementation of the AC44 comprehensive plan adopted in 2025. Key procurement-related discussions centered on five major work projects: zoning modernization, multimodal transportation planning, rural area priorities and planning, AC44 administration and tracking, and activity center planning. The commission reviewed timelines and deliverables for these projects, emphasizing coordination among county departments and external partners. Particular attention was given to selecting priority locations for activity center plans, with three main areas identified for focused planning efforts to accommodate future growth and economic development. The meeting also addressed the public-initiated comprehensive plan amendment process, recommending continued use of existing zoning map amendment and special use permit applications rather than reestablishing a separate application process. While no specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, the session highlighted strategic planning efforts that will guide future capital investments and development projects in the county.
