Authorize Public Hearings to Consider Code Amendments Related to Rezonings |
|
| Agenda Title: |
Authorize Public Hearings to Consider Code Amendments Related to Rezonings |
|
| Recommendation: |
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission authorize public hearings to consider amendments to Spotsylvania County Code Chapter 23, Article 4, Section 6 related to Zoning Map Amendments. |
|
| Summary: |
As part of the on-going updates to the Zoning Ordinance, staff has prepared amendments to the Zoning Map Amendments (Rezonings) section of the Code. The majority of amendments are grammatical in nature, but there is one substantive amendment. This is the addition of (c) under Sec. 23-4.6.3, Proffer of Conditions. The purpose in adding this subsection is establish requirements related to the dedication of land to the County to ensure that the dedicated land is usable and fairly valued. This subsection was added in response to concerns being raised about the value attributed to land dedications during the rezoning process and whether the County was receiving land that can be used for its intended purpose. |
