Zoning

  • “The process of classifying land within a

locality into areas and districts, such areas and districts being generally referred to as ‘zones,’ by legislative action and the prescribing and application in each area and district of regulations concerning building and structure designs, building and structure placement and uses to which land, buildings and structures within such designated areas and districts may be put.”

  • ~Code of Virginia §15.2 - 2201

By-right Development

  • By-right Development...is the right of a

property owner to build on their property as long as such new use is consistent with the General Land Use Plan (GLUP), the property’s zoning, and specific Zoning Ordinance regulations.

  • By-right development also extends to the

construction of new buildings to the extent that the zoning for such property does not require a major discretionary approval such as a conditional use permit or variance.

§3.1.6. Height

  • A. Building height

Building height is the vertical distance measured from existing grade to the highest point of the roof surface. It is the average distance between the roof peak and the roof eave for a gable roof.

Zoning Ordinance - Height

  • §3.1.6.A Building Height
  • 1. Measurement in R districts, except RA districts
  • The average existing grade is calculated by averaging

the existing grade at four points at the perimeter of the building, that include two points each on the front and rear of the building, at the points closest to the applicable side lot lines.

  • The vertical distance is the difference between the

average existing grade and a single building height determined as described in §3.1.5.A above

Stormwater Regulations

  • Redevelopment projects disturbing 2,500 square feet or more are

regulated by the new Stormwater Ordinance (2014).

  • This covers all new single-family home infill projects, as well as large

additions.

  • County outreach and incentive programs target smaller projects

disturbing less than 2,500 square feet.

  • The new stormwater standards are the most stringent allowed by the

State, but will not eliminate all runoff impacts from larger new homes.

11

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Stormwater Ordinance

  • County is only able to regulate the pollution from a redevelopment

project, not the total volume of runoff itself

  • New ordinance provides more authority to limit impacts from sheet

flow to neighbors that will cause or contribute to erosion, sedimentation, or flooding.

  • Requires at least a 10 percent net reduction in pollutant loads relative

to existing conditions using stormwater management techniques.

  • With an average impervious cover increase of 50% for a single-family

home redevelopment project, it is difficult to offset the added runoff impacts from new homes with the ordinance alone.

Preserving and Replacing Trees

  • County has limited authority to

require tree preservation on private property.

  • There are tree canopy coverage

requirements for development projects.

  • County does provide more credit

for keeping an existing tree (vs. planting a new tree) for development projects

Census 2020

EVERYONE COUNTS FAIR REPRESENTATION $675 BILLION

The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right place. Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to apportion the House of Representative, determining how many seats each state gets.
