We believe in supporting all the little things! That's why we advocate for single-stair buildings, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, and buildings of all shapes and sizes. All of them are housing solutions. Thanks to Jon Jon the Happy Urbanist for this sketch! #urbanplanning #raleigh

I wouldn’t conflate departments and say the City as a whole isn’t trying. Obviously not without frustration- but, NDS is certainly trying, and it shows! Processes as a whole keep improving for infill!

This whole thing is so good 👏🏻 “Those who oppose new housing, or who look askance at denser development as somehow ideologically distasteful, are supporting a fundamentally anti-human, anti-growth policy, without even intending to.”

🚨 Advocacy opp! VDOT has created a plan to redesign the W. Main / Ridge intersection to improve traffic flow + provide protected bike lanes and many pedestrian upgrades. It’s not perfect but it’s WAY better than what is there now, and it’s designed to get state funding to get it built.

So traffic infractions & misdemeanors are recorded by general district courts. They share their files with DMV, who then imposes additional fines/revocations etc. if you don’t have a license, you’re not impacted by DMV’s additional penalties, but you still have an infraction on file with the GDC.

Wow. The agenda is up for the 10/20 Council meeting... and it includes a settlement agreement in the White v. Charlottesville case. The city will prepare a Traffic Impact Statement by the process in 24VAC30-155. In exchange, the plaintiffs will drop the case against the new zoning ordinance.

Policy Briefing Summary
City Council
Regarding: Resolution Authorizing Agreement to Settle White v. Charlottesville
City Council
Staff Contact(s): John Maddux, City Attorney
Presenter: John Maddux, City Attorney
Date of Proposed
Action:
October 20, 2025
Issue
Whether to authorize an agreement to settle White v. Charlottesville City Council, a lawsuit challenging
the legality of the zoning ordinance adopted by the City Council in December of 2023.
Background / Rule
In January 2024, several community members filed a lawsuit challenging the new zoning ordinance
adopted by City Council in December 2023. Over time, the case narrowed to two main questions:
whether the City was required to send certain traffic information to the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), and whether the City gave reasonable consideration to factors required by
state law when adopting the ordinance. Although a trial was scheduled for September 2026, the City
and the plaintiffs have reached an agreement to resolve the case. Under the agreement, the City will
provide the requested traffic information to VDOT, and the plaintiffs will withdraw their lawsuit. As long
as the City meets its obligations, this agreement will bring the litigation to an end.
Analysis
The City remains confident that it would ultimately prevail in this matter. However, the cost of
discovery, trial, and potential appeals would be substantial for all parties, and any litigation carries
inherent risks. This proposal, where the City will provide certain traffic information in exchange for
dismissal of the case offers a practical and cost-effective path forward. Accepting this resolution will
avoid further litigation expenses and provide clarity and stability for the City’s zoning ordinance.
Financial Impact
Funds will be required to complete the necessary traffic studies for submission to VDOT, and these
costs are expected to be meaningful. However, they are anticipated to be substantially lower than the
costs the City w…

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of the date of the last signature hereto (the
“Effective Date”), by and between G. EDWARD WHITE, SUSAN D. WHITE, ROY VAN
DOORN, KRISTI VAN DOORN, THOMAS J. HILL, Trustee of the Thomas J. Hill Trust, u/a
June 1, 2005, as amended, KEMP P. HILL, Trustee, of the Kemp P. Hill Trust, u/a June 1, 2005,
as amended, JENNY CLAY, MICHAEL BEVIER and LILLIAN BEVIER (collectively, the
“Claimants”) and the CHARLOTTESVILE CITY COUNCIL (the “City”), each a “Party” and
collectively, the “Parties.”
REASONS FOR AGREEMENT
Claimants have asserted various claims against the City in that action filed in the Circuit
Court for the City of Charlottesville styled G. Edward White, et al., v. Charlottesville City
Council, Case No. CL24-25 (the “Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, Claimants’ operative pleading is
now the Amended Complaint, filed on or about December 30, 2024. The Amended Complaint
contains two Counts, and alleges that the new zoning ordinance adopted by the City on
December 18, 2023 (the “NZO”) was void ab initio for, among other reasons, the failure to
submit the NZO to the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) pursuant to Virginia
Code § 15.2-2222.1(B) and the associated Traffic Impact Analysis Regulations set forth in
24VAC30-155-10, et seq. The Parties enter into this Agreement for the purpose of resolving the
Lawsuit.
TERMS
For and in consideration of the mutual promises and commitments specified herein, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each Party, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. Preparation of Traffic Impact Statement. The City agrees to prepare a VDOT
Traffic Impact Statement (“VTIS”) pursuant to requirements of 24VAC30-155-60. The City
shall contact VDOT to request a scope of work meeting pursuant to 24VAC30-155-60(B) (the
“Meeting”) within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall comply with the elements and
scope for the VTIS as required by VDOT. Prior to the Meeting, unless …

Current board member of the Piedmont Community Land Trust asked a Charlottesville School Board member if the former principal was hired because of his race — “based on his experience of hiring at the land trust.” This insane thinking is local. He’s also an avid investor in the Iraqi dinar.

A few thoughts on the Jack Jouett primary. @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social won for a few reasons: first, she had better ideas. Pro-housing policies are very popular! County politics often get stuck in the mud and she figured out how to navigate them in a forward thinking, results oriented way.
