Staff Reports for Proposed Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan

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.
