The Crozet Master Plan guides the future development of the Crozet designated growth area.

Adoption and revision

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.[1] 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]

One item of concern is whether the downtown area will be vibrant enough as a downtown area to compete with other centers. This image depicts the potential of a pedestrian mall where the Barnes lumber yard currently stands

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.[5] 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 imply 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.[6] 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.[7]
