Commission backs zoning-text amendment to require disclosure of real parties of interest
Summary
After previous review and a public hearing, the commission voted unanimously to forward a zoning-text amendment to the Board of Supervisors that would require disclosure statements identifying equitable ownership and real parties of interest in development applications.
The Planning Commission voted on Jan. 14 to send a proposed zoning-text amendment to the Board of Supervisors that would add a requirement for disclosure of equitable ownership and real parties of interest in development applications.
Staff told the commission the change responds to prior discussion and that the proposed text follows state guidance; the meeting packet cites Virginia Code "15.2 dash 22 1 89" (as presented in the packet) and the draft ordinance language is included verbatim in the agenda. No members of the public registered to speak during the hearing. Tony Sabrizzi moved to direct the amendment to the Board of Supervisors and Adam Sandridge seconded; the commission voted unanimously to approve the recommendation.
Commissioners and staff discussed the package at length in prior meetings and staff confirmed the public hearing had been advertised as required. The commission's recommendation will be carried to the Board of Supervisors for final action.
