This layer consists of sports fields represented as polygons for the various sports at the University.
This layer displays structures around the universities. Structures are defined as locations or structures that do not have building numbers. This could include a shed, small facility, or small storage location.
This layer shows the buildings occupied by University employees.
This dataset represents the official land use designations of Albemarle County's Crozet Master Plan, officially adopted in December 2004. The underlying parcel geography is current through the end of the previous calendar year. This file depicts what is on the officially adopted Crozet Master Plan Land Use Map. The officially adopted map is a static image, delivered and stored in both .JPG and .PDF formats. This image was geo-referenced to our road centerline file and was used as a guide to re-create the map in a GIS-friendly format. It is intended to reflect as accurately as possible the official map. It is important to remember that the static image is still the official map. Also of note is that the Crozet Master Plan map has a unique set of land use designations, specific to the Crozet Master Plan and the Crozet Development Area. These designations are only found in the Crozet Master Plan Land Use Map. The land use designations for the rest of the Comp Plan Areas are different and are not found on the Crozet Master Plan Land Use Map. The Crozet Master Plan depicts boundaries of Place-Types, such as Neighborhood, Hamlet, Corridor or District, as shown on the official Crozet Master Plan. Generally, the Place-Types are defined by a 1/4-mile walkability. The official Crozet Master Plan should be consulted to determine applicable Place-Type designation. Place-Types are defined as the following in the Crozet Master Plan: Hamlet A discernible place with a focal point and boundary that maintains and fosters primarily residential, institutional (i.e. places of worship) or recreational activities. 50% of its land area is dedicated to open space (either a preserve or reserve.) It is still organized in accordance with a pedestrian scale (i.e. from the focal point to its farthest most developed edge is approximately 1/4 mile or a 5 minute walk.) Its boundary is typically an agricultural or natural area. However due to its limited mix of land use, it is not self-sufficient. Edge Zone: Development Area Reserve or Preserve (CT1 & CT2) General: Urban Edge (CT3) Center: Urban General (CT4) Neighborhood A discernible place with a focal point and boundary that maintains and fosters social, cultural and economic activities. It is the "building block"of towns and cities. Intensity of land use and density decreases from center to edge. The area of a neighborhood, from its center to edge is approximately the area of a circle with a 1/4 mile radius (a 5 minute walk.) Edge Zone: Urban Edge (CT3) General: Urban General (CT4) Center: Urban Center (CT5) Corridor With corridors, existing settlement follows a linear pattern along an important thoroughfare and the continuum is inverted. Instead of the least intense development occurring on the edge or fringe, adjacent to the thoroughfare, the most intense pattern has developed over time to take advantage of visibility and easy access from the road. Like place-types, however, these corridor-types can be "built" by combining three or more of the six transect zones listed above. The "building" of the corridor-type incorporates what has already occurred along major thoroughfares and seeks to use it to create a distinct character for the place. Corridor-Type Edge Zone: Urban Center (CT5) or General (CT4) General: Urban Edge (CT3) Center: Development Area Reserve (CT2) or Preserve (CT1) The following disclaimer applies: [These data/digitized maps] are interpretations of the official Land Use Plan maps found in the Comprehensive Plan. These maps interpret the generalized land use boundaries found on the Comprehensive Plan land use maps to the nearest parcel boundary, except for RA/DA boundaries which are consistent with Comprehensive Plan Maps. This interpretation was made to simplify basic reporting and statistical analysis using this data. Final determinations of the Comprehensive Plan land use designations should be based on the official land use maps found in the Comprehensive Plan. Contact the Chief of Planning (Planning Division), Department of Community Development, for information/determination of land use designations. (Interpretations should only be made by Chief or Planning Division staff) These Comprehensive Plan Area Land Use Designations are described in detail in the County's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is Albemarle County's most important document regarding growth, development and change. It establishes government policy to help guide public and private activities as they relate to land use and resource utilization. It is the basis for land development regulations and decisions (rezonings, special use permits), capital improvements (public projects such as schools, parks, libraries), transportation, environmental and historic resource protection initiatives, new county programs and decisions on the distribution of county budget dollars to a multitude of programs and agencies. The Crozet Master Plan, an adopted part of the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan, is intended as a general guide for future development and systematic change in the Community of Crozet. The Comprehensive Plan is advisory in nature and, with its accompanying maps, charts and other supplementary information, it sets forth the County's long-range recommendations for the development of land within its jurisdiction. The Comprehensive Plan also serves as a guide for the development and implementation of the Zoning Ordinance. Development guidelines contained in the maps, charts and other supplementary materials in the Comprehensive Plan are intended as targets rather than specific requirements, consistent with the advisory nature of the document.
The Southern and Western Urban Neighborhoods Master Plan was adopted in June 2015 and this layer represents the plan for future land use. It is intended as a general guide for future development and systematic change in the Southern and Western Development Area.
