The Code
of Virginia mandates that the Comprehensive Plan be reviewed at least
once every five years. Because of the dynamic growth experienced by the
County over the past thirty years, the Plan has been evaluated more
frequently. Amendments are initiated by a motion by the Board of
Supervisors. Proposed amendments to the Plan are submitted for a public
review process. In order for an amendment to be adopted, it must be the
subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the Board
of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors must vote to adopt the amendment
in order to change the Plan.
Please see the Planning Commission Web page for current information about Planning Commission public hearings.
