Chesterfield County Council votes to extend temporary moratorium on new mobile-home, RV-park and subdivision permits
Summary
The Chesterfield County Council approved an extension of an emergency ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on permits for new mobile-home parks, RV parks and subdivisions; existing permits are exempt, and council members said staff continue to coordinate with regional partners.
Chesterfield County Council voted to extend an emergency ordinance that temporarily halts issuance of permits for new mobile-home parks, RV parks and subdivisions.
The action followed staff remarks and a brief council discussion. Councilman Price moved to continue the moratorium and Mister Kirkley seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the extension carried. Council clarified that properties with previously issued mobile-home permits are exempt from the moratorium and that the restriction applies to new permits only.
Council staff said regional coordination with the local planning council (PD COG) is ongoing and indicated updates will be circulated to council when available. No dollar amounts or sunset date for the moratorium were specified during the discussion.
The vote was procedural and taken by voice; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. The council indicated the moratorium is part of a broader review of permitting and development policies to manage site preparation and utilities for new park and subdivision development.
