St. Louis Village Plan

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors has approved a work plan initiating the St. Louis Village Plan, designed to help St. Louis maintain its unique character, support the community’s goals and address a range of issues related to land use, development and quality of life.

The project involves the St. Louis Village Plan Task Force, comprising a mix of residents, property owners, and representatives of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of St. Louis, Banneker Elementary School, the Black History Committee (Friends of Thomas Balch Library), and the Loudoun Historic Village Alliance. The task force is working with county staff to craft the plan. The task force has three subcommittees focusing on water issues, history and heritage and land use and infrastructure.

Comment on the Draft St. Louis Plan

Following a period of community engagement and outreach, Loudoun County has developed a draft Village Plan, which is available for review and comment. 

The public will also have an opportunity to provide comments about the draft village plan at the Loudoun County Planning Commission's public hearing scheduled for March 26, 2024. Information about how to sign up to speak to the Planning Commission is online here.

Task Force Meetings

The task force is conducting regular community meetings to involve village residents and keep you informed of their work, which is expected to extend throughout 2023 and be completed in early 2024. The most recent community meeting was June 26, 2023.

Development of a St. Louis Village Plan will result in an update to the Loudoun County 2019 Comprehensive Plan, which is the county government’s guide for land use and transportation policy. The current plan is available at loudoun.gov/comprehensiveplan.

  • In January 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPAM) to develop a Village Area Plan for St. Louis and, if necessary, other necessary policy changes to help realize the Village Area Plan; and a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to implement the vision of the Village Area Plan. 
  • Once adopted, the Village Plan will become an area plan that is incorporated into the county’s Comprehensive Plan.
  • The CPAM process includes many steps that may include future updates to zoning ordinances and maps, which provide more specific policy guidance on land use and residential density. The entire CPAM process is public and includes input from the community to the Board of Supervisors.
  • Development of the St. Louis Village Plan is just the first step in updating the county’s planning documents and regulations.
