The Zoning Ordinance Amendment Work Program (ZOAWP) or Work Program is adopted by the Board of Supervisors annually or biennially and establishes the priorities and timing for the development of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The amendment requests originate from the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, citizens, industry representatives, and county staff. In addition to the Work Program, the Priority 2 list consists of those amendment requests that will be reviewed for future inclusion on the Work Program.
The 2019 ZOAWP was initially adopted on July 10, 2018 for a two-year cycle. A status update for the 2019 ZOAWP was endorsed by the Board of Supervisors’ Development Process Committee on June 18, 2019 and approved by the Board on June 25, 2019. The ZOAWP includes topic-specific amendments as well as the Zoning Ordinance Modernization Project, or zMOD.
