Land Use Position Statements - 2011 Legislative Program
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance
Support legislation to give localities authority to adopt an adequate public facilities ordinance that would permit localities to adopt provisions for deferring the approval of subdivision plats or site plans when it is determined that existing schools, roads, public safety, sewer or water facilities are inadequate to support the proposed development. Such legislation should not require localities to construct the necessary infrastructure within a timeframe established by the General Assembly. (Reaffirms previous position.)
Rights-of-Way
Oppose any reduction, preemption, or circumvention of VDOT’s authority to manage and oversee highway rights-of-way or the County’s rights as a property owner. Oppose any attempt to eliminate local governments’ rights to charge, on a non-discriminatory basis, fair and reasonable compensation for use of its public property. (Reaffirms previous position.)
