Lead & Department Topic
Entrance Corridor Overlay District Text Amendment Topic Description The attached
draft ordinance provides a mechanism to permit the creation of
Entrance Corridor Overlay Districts in the County.
Section 15.2-2306 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the creation
of such districts along streets or highways which constitute
“significant routes of tourist access to the locality or to designated
historic landmarks, buildings, structures or districts.”
Upon designation of such an area, the Ordinance may require review
to determine whether proposed construction along the tourist route is
“architecturally compatible” with
the historic landmarks, buildings or structures located in the
destination. The ordinance as
drafted is procedurally similar to the current Historic District Overlay
set out in Article 4 of the zoning ordinance.
In the event such an ordinance is adopted, it authorizes the Board
of Supervisors to designate areas within the County as entrance corridor
overlay districts and to establish standards for such districts.
Requested Action of the Board of Supervisors Refer the
proposed Ordinance to the Planning Commission for its review and
consideration. Financial Impacts Analysis None Identify Any Other Departments, Organizations or
Individuals That Would be Affected by This Request Office of Community Development |
