A Subdivision Ordinance Text Amendment to Section 2-39.3.A
to Require Lots Created Through the Family Transfer Process
to Have Entrances Approved by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT)
|
|
Topic Description: |
|
Section 2-39.3.A of the Subdivision Ordinance outlines the
requirements for creating a lot to be approved as a Family
Division. Currently there is no Ordinance requirement that
the application include an approved highway entrance serving
the new lot. While an entrance permit is required in order
to obtain the necessary zoning and building permits, the
plat can be approved without an approved entrance location.
All other divisions, including Administrative Divisions,
require an approved highway entrance. Staff is aware of
applications for Family Transfers where VDOT has indicated
that they will deny the entrance.
The proposed text amendment requires that the highway
entrance be approved by the Virginia Department of
Transportation.
The Code of Virginia §15.2-2244.C allows high growth
counties such as Fauquier to enact family transfer
provisions subject to all requirements of the Code of
Virginia and to any requirements imposed by the local
governing body.
