Phase Two: Goals, Objectives, and 'Planning Toolkits'
In Phase One we used input from community members, County staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors to develop a guide for Phases Two and Three of the project. This guide, the Framework for an Equitable and Resilient Community, presents a snapshot of what the county aspires to be in the year 2044 using four 'Big Ideas'.
During this phase, we will review and update the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives and design "planning toolkits" for more detailed recommendations on coordinated transportation and land use planning. A goal is a high-level and long-term direction to fulfill the Vision and Framework. An objective is a specific outcome or target that accomplishes a goal. The goals and objectives developed in Phase Two will inform the strategies (action steps) that will be drafted in Phase Three.
Goals and Objectives will be drafted for each Comp Plan topic. These topics reflect the chapters of the current Plan. Click on the links below to visit the topic pages. Each has a one-page summary and a more detailed report with information on data and trends, challenges, opportunities, and equity and climate action considerations.

Designed to help the project team understand our community's needs and priorities and to help inform updating Plan recommendations, the questions are grouped by topic, similar to the anticipated organization of the updated Plan:
The questionnaire should take about 15-20 minutes. Only have 5 minutes? Consider registering so you can save your work and complete it over time! The deadline to complete this questionnaire is March 17 at 10 pm.
Information Resources
These questions are for everyone! You don't need any training to respond, but if you feel like some background information would be helpful, we have developed reference materials for each topic. You'll see a link to each resource listed in the introduction to each topic.

What do you envision Albemarle County to be like in 2044?Conversations about the future of the county should not just be limited to County-organized events. Instead, they should occur wherever and whenever a group of interested individuals can come together and share their ideas.
Step One: Discovering Challenges and Opportunities
AC44 Phase Two is currently at this stage
Winter/Spring 2023
Before updating the Goals and Objectives, it is important to review existing conditions and recent trends for each Plan topic. The topic area reports share data, challenges, opportunities, and equity and climate action considerations by topic. Each report also summarizes community input by topic that has been shared to date.
We have designed a questionnaire to learn about your experience, priorities, and ideas on the topic areas. Community input from this Step will build on the Phase One engagement results and help inform the next steps in Phase Two.
Step Two: Developing Planning Toolkits
this is an upcoming stage for AC44 Phase Two
Spring/Summer 2023
Planning Toolkits provide more detailed recommendations beyond the Goals and Objectives, especially for coordinated land use and transportation planning. They can create guidelines for development patterns, place types, streets, and centers of activity. A series of roundtables will be held to gather community input on developing planning toolkits and related topics such as growth management.
Step Three: Defining Goals and Objectives
this is an upcoming stage for AC44 Phase Two
Fall/Winter 2023
To update the current (2015) Comp Plan Goals and Objectives, the AC44 team will streamline the current recommendations, improve consistency across the Comp Plan and related plans, use an equity and climate action lens, and incorporate the Framework. Community input from Phase One and throughout Phase Two will inform priorities and updates to the Goals and Objectives, including where new recommendations are needed. Open houses will be held to gather community input on Goals and Objectives.
