Description

Pursuant to Virginia Code ยง15.2-1411, the Zoning Ordinance Committee (ZOC) was created by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) under the authority of and reporting to the Planning Commission to review and recommend changes to the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Ordinance) in order to: 1) correct errors and inconsistencies; 2) clarify regulations; 3) simply the Zoning Ordinance to make it more user friendly; 4) keep the Zoning Ordinance current to reflect changes in state code, the market, economic, fiscal and land use conditions and the emergence of new uses; and 5) identify when proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments are inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and may require a Comprehensive Plan amendment. The BOS may direct that certain proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance be referred to the Zoning Ordinance Committee for review prior to requesting County Staff to initiate the referral process and the scheduling of a public hearing for consideration of such amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.

The ZOC may propose amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for BOS inclusion in the annual Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOAM) Work Plan. County staff shall be responsible for executing the BOS-adopted ZOAM Work Plan, to include drafting ordinance text, with ZOC input. When directed by the Commission or BOS, ZOC shall review and provide comments on proposed amendments as part of the referral process for county Staff, Commission, and BOS consideration. Additionally, at the discretion of the Commission, county staff or the BOS, ZOC may be asked to provide input on proposed amendments prior to the initiation of the referral process. Through its referral, the ZOC shall advise the Commission, county staff and the Zoning Administrator of their findings and recommendations on proposed amendments.
