Do you support the addition of these new Future Land Use categories?
I am opposed to any new designation that would lead to an increase in population density in the Crozet area. We are already losing our small community, rural feel. If that is something that we value in Crozet, then we must put a stop to these increases. Additionally, we are not even close to having the infrastructure to support increasing population. Whitegate Farm is designated as green space and should remain that way. Pleasant Green is an example of Downtown Overlay that did not achieve either of the main goals of this land use category: affordable housing and historic consistency.
I oppose these new designations that would have the effect of further increasing density. The area has already seen explosive growth and infrastructure has not caught up, not even close. Also, we need to prioritize open space/green space/natural areas before they all disappear. Also, these designations can be easily misused by developers in ways not intended: Pleasant Green is an esp. egregious example of this. It was undeveloped land that is now a large development under the auspices of Downtown neighborhood overlay. and it is not at all "compatible in scale and design" with the surrounding neighborhood.
I oppose applying "Middle density residential" to White gate Farm. It is designated green space for a reason and I oppose changing that.
The housing development in Crozet is outpacing the county's commitment to the infrastructure needed to support these proposed changes. There are high density housing options and they have not addressed the need for more affordable housing in Crozet. We do not need to create another category of housing until a plan is created to support the PEOPLE who live here. If this kind of over zealous housing development is allowed to continue without investment in schools, businesses, roads and protected green spaces Crozet will no longer be a place where people will want to move to raise their families (because the school's reputation will not uphold), the lack of businesses will continue to grow Crozet as a bedroom community, the traffic in/out (post pandemic) leads to daily frustration and safety issues along busy corridors that also need to support the community use for running and biking and the green spaces need protection not only as a community lifestyle amenity but for the environmental impact on our water supply and land.

Do not support the designation of M4 or development in that area without first seeing concrete plans to significantly improve transportation and community infrastructure.
I don't have enough information to say yes definitely. I do believe that all neighborhoods should have some walkable amenities available to them but I would like to see what sorts of businesses would be allowed before agreeing to support. I would like to see the largest hub being the downtown Crozet pedestrian mall.
No more residential homes (or mixed use). Businesses are fine, but no more homes/residential dwellings! Old Trail is already a disaster with speeders flying through on OT drive. Adding more opportunity for people to come in and out (and more patrons/residents, parking and walking in and out of these businesses) will only prove to be more dangerous. I realize that this is likely not the place for this , but I think the Committee understands my point. Crozet is already OVERCROWDED and adding more people by way of places to live, is a disaster. Where will these kids go to school? Where will the cars drive? the "affordable" housing isn't affordable so please don't add more! Thank you!
The draft plan includes a split land use designation for White Gate Farm (TMP 56E-2). This designation aims to continue the pattern of development currently in Wickham Pond. Changing this property's designation would support broader housing choices within Crozet and infill development that connects the Park Ridge Drive corridor to Crozet's easternmost neighborhoods.
An increase of 49-143 additional units over the 2010 Master Plan could be developed under the revised designation.

The draft plan designates parcels east of Eastern Avenue, south of Westhall Drive and north of Lickinghole Basin as Neighborhood Density Residential and Parks & Green Systems.
Development in this area has occurred at a lower density than shown in the 2010 Master Plan, and the Eastern Avenue corridor provides a boundary between areas with different development patterns. The portion of Urban Density Residential east of Eastern Avenue was changed to Neighborhood Density Residential to reflect current development and improve legibility of the land use map. The Greenspace boundary was also changed to reflect the actual location of environmental features.
An increase of 10-20 additional units over the 2010 Master Plan could be developed under the revised designation.

our area cannot support higher density, including increased traffic and school overcrowding.
I support the change in designation to neighborhood density residential in keeping with the character of the area. But do not support further development until traffic, transportation and community infrastructure is in place.
That density level will not create enough revenue for a developer to build that section of the eastern bypass, leaving it in the hands of the taxpayers to complete. Making this vacant parcel middle density might give enough reason for a developer to actually want to finish the bypass.
Absolutely not, the developers do not need more land to build, everyone gave feedback that we need to maintain greenspace and no homes should be built above the master plan (it should be reduced, if anything because our infrastructure was never meant for this).
The draft Future Land Use Plan includes a change to TMP #56-13's Greenspace boundary to reflect the actual location of environmental features.
An increase of 23-46 additional units over the 2010 Master Plan could be developed under the revised designation.
