The Planning and Coordination Council (PACC) is a forum for planning at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and Albemarle County. All three jurisdictions take turns hosting the meetings. The University is hosting the meetings in 2019.

The 1986 PACC agreement was formed by the City, County and the University in with the intent to foster "improvement of community and mutual benefits through cooperative planning" and collaborate on items of mutual interest within designated geographical areas referred to in the original Three Party Agreement as Area A, B, and C community map. The regularly scheduled meetings were intended to afford all parties the opportunity to receive updates on the planning process and use of land in the areas close to the University, i.e. guidelines and improvements and expectations for land that abuts all three entities and land of mutual interest PACC provides a platform where these matters can be brought forward, discussed and, if necessary, brought forward to the larger elected bodies as part of Comprehensive Plan adoptions. [1]

The Planning & Coordination Council (PACC) was established in 1986 as part of the original to promote cooperation in planning and community development among the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the University of Virginia. PACC and PACCTech (precedes PACC meeting by one month) meetings are held quarterly and the coordination of those meetings is shared and rotated between the three governing bodies on a yearly basis. The membership of PACCTech and PACC changes on a yearly basis depending on local elections and committee appointments, and both meetings are open to the public. [2]

The group has been meeting since 1986. [3]

The PACC Tech sub-committee reports to the PACC.

Formation

In the months before the agreement was signed, the county was in the process of rezoning land at the intersection of Fontaine Avenue and U.S. 29 for a project known as Fontaine Forest. The city and University were opposed to the project. The city thought it would put too much pressure on a residential street. UVA thought it was land they might want to own one day. [4]

The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on May 14, 1986 on an agreement "improvement of communication and mutual benefits through cooperative planning." County Executive Guy Agnor stated before the hearing opened that the agreement "dealt primarily with the planning process and the use of land in areas close to the University."

Area A was the Central and North Grounds of the University. Area B was comprised of property surround Area A "of mutual concern to the County and the University Area C was property near University-owned land, such as the Blue Ridge Hospital, the Milton Airport and the University Vivarium.

Under the terms of the agreement, the University would submit plans for any projects in Area A to the city and county for review, and the University would try to accommodate reasonable requests from the city and county. There were only a few private landowners in Area A at the time, but the city and county agreed to conform to land use policies requested by the University.

Area B was to be studied and master planned by all three jurisdictions, and any proposals were to be mutually reviewed.

In Area C, the University agreed to pay property taxes on land it owned.

The draft agreement also set out that UVA would create a real estate foundation, The University of Virginia Foundation, would would pay property taxes and abide by all land use regulations in the city or county. At this time, UVA also agreed to name non-voting members from the city and county to the UVA Master Planning Committee. [5]
