E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE: Subscribe to the Comprehensive Plan Announcements e-mail service to receive periodic announcements about the Comprehensive Plan. |
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.
