Nottoway board approves planning and zoning fee increases, adds ordinance language
Summary
County planning staff presented a revised fee schedule to charge for zoning services (permits, site-plan reviews, sign permits, subdivision reviews, cell-tower fees); the board approved the increases and directed staff to add implementing ordinance language to the county code.
County planning director Greg Zoda told supervisors the office has historically provided many planning and zoning services without fees and that the proposed schedule aligns Nottoway with neighboring localities. Zoda said the changes would charge for zoning permits, site-plan review, family divisions, manufactured-home-park reviews and add specific fees for cell-tower colocation and new locations. "What I'm really doing is basically charging people for the time it takes staff to produce" the reviews, he told the board.
After a public hearing with no speakers, the board approved the fee increases and asked staff to prepare an estimated revenue projection within two weeks. Supervisors also added language to the zoning ordinance to authorize fees and instructed the county attorney and staff to integrate the changes into the county code.
