CCAC – 13 November 2024 – Beaver Hill Mobile Home Park

A round up of things regarding this Wednesday’s CCAC meeting at Crozet Library at 7pm

My quick thoughts

We need housing, in Crozet, in Albemarle, in the US. We need infrastructure, too. This seems an opportunity to at least provide affordable housing for people who need it.

CCAC (and many other County boards, committees, and commissions) needs volunteers to serve. Find out more here.

Crozet CAC to review rezoning request for expand Beaver Hill mobile home park

Albemarle expects over 150,000 residents by the year 2050 and one of the biggest questions is where everyone will live. Another is how to preserve existing affordable housing and how to expand the number of subsidized units? 

Those questions are answered application by application. 

Shimp Engineering is leading the way on a rezoning for 24 acres from Rural Area to Residential-4 to allow for expansion of the Beaver Hill Manufactured Home Park to add 53 additional units to have a total of 100. The property is technically in the rural area.

The Crozet Community Advisory Committee will have a community meeting for these applications at the November meeting at 2020 Library Avenue in Crozet. This begins at 7 p.m.  (meeting info)
