Planning commission forwards real‑party‑of‑interest disclosure amendment to supervisors
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to send a zoning text amendment to the Board of Supervisors adding a disclosure requirement for equitable/real parties of interest (cites Va. Code §15.2-22.89). No public opposition was recorded during the hearing.
The Rockbridge County Planning Commission on Jan. 14 recommended the Board of Supervisors adopt a zoning text amendment to require disclosure of equitable ownership and the real party of interest in certain land‑use approvals.
Staff summarized the commission’s prior instruction to prepare the amendment and cited Virginia Code §15.2‑22.89 as relevant state law. The commission opened a public hearing and heard no in‑person or remote speakers on the proposed section (drafted as §801.04). Tony Sabrizzi moved to forward the amendment to the Board of Supervisors for approval; Adam Sandridge seconded the motion and the commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption.
Commissioners thanked the community members who had raised the issue in prior meetings and noted the amendment adds transparency to zoning‑application processes. The motion carries the item to the Board of Supervisors for final action.
