Existing & Approved Development Mapping Tool

About the Online Mapping Tool

The Loudoun Existing and Approved Development (LEAD) map is an interactive mapping tool that provides access to information regarding:

  • Existing use of structures
  • Existing use of parcels
  • Location and existing number of housing units within residential projects that are completed and approved (not started or partially built)
  • The remaining residential development potential of approved projects (not started or partially built)
  • Location of completed and approved non-residential projects
Online Mapping Tool

The land use data for structures, parcels, and  projects are developed and maintained by the Department of Planning and Zoning. Data available in this tool currently reflect land use conditions as of July 1, 2017. Always refer to the As of Date with each layer to determine how current each one is, as all of the layers are not currently on the same update cycle. 

The data in the mapping system can be used for land use, capital facilities, and transportation planning purposes as well as fiscal, demographic, market analyses, and land use scenario planning.

Previous versions of this tool included the potential build-out of vacant or underdeveloped parcels. Those build-out scenarios were based upon the maximum number of residential units envisioned under the County’s previous Comprehensive Plan, the Revised General Plan. The 2019 Loudoun County General Plan (2019 GP) is much more flexible than the previous plan and allows a broader range of development density options. Therefore, the 2019 GP is not considered in terms of maximum potential build-out, and build-out is no longer included in this mapping tool.
