The rezoning application for Wilderness Crossing is currently in the staff report preparation phase. Several ARC meetings have been conducted and a Town Hall was held on June 17, 2021. Next steps will include the Planning Commission public hearing process before the application is forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for public hearing. Guidance from the Board of Supervisors The Board of Supervisors remains committed to the vision and key considerations adopted in the Germanna - Wilderness Area Plan. As such, staff was directed to compare the rezoning application, design guidelines, and proffered conditions to the GWAP and presented the summary at a Board of Supervisors ’ worksession on October 5, 2021. From that worksession, the Board developed guidance to be communicated to the Planning Commission and the applicant. Highlights from the guidance include the following:

Opportunities for Public Participation As the Wilderness Crossing rezoning application moves through the process, there may be additional worksessions the public can attend. Additionally, citizens may contact their respective members of the Planning Commission and/or Board of Supervisors to share their comments. Ultimately, the public will be offered opportunities to provide comments for consideration at both the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors public hearings. See the project map on the following page.
