October 4, 2023: Rezoning filed for 500 units in Hollymead; Rezoning amendment filed for part of the RST property next door

Here’s a message for you to receive on this October 4.

The usage of the word “ten” first gave enough time for early radio microphones to transmit a clear signal of the more important second number. These ten-codes were phased out in the 2000’s in favor of plain speech. 10-4? Somehow that’s relevant to Charlottesville Community Engagement. I’m Sean Tubbs, two syllables of pure brevity. On today’s show:* Another round of rezoning applications have been made in Albemarle including a request for a 500 home development in Hollymead as well as an amendment to a previous rezoning just across the street * Charlottesville City Council holds the first of three work sessions on the city’s Development Code and discuss community design, the definition of house-sized, and commercial uses in residential neighborhoods  This is a public episode.
