Member cites Virginia Code §15.2-2305 as a potential tool for affordable housing in PDs
Summary
A committee member referenced state code (15.2-2305) as a possible basis for enabling affordable dwelling unit programs within local zoning and recommended that county counsel review the statute for applicability.
Committee member (Speaker 5) told the group that the section of state law governing affordable dwelling unit programs is "15.2 dash 23 0 5" and suggested the county attorney examine the code to clarify what local incentives or restrictions are permitted. "The section of Virginia administrative code on affordable housing is 15.2 dash 2305," Speaker 5 said, noting the statute mentions incentives and restrictions and can guide local drafting.
Members discussed plan-development (PD) tools as a vehicle for introducing architectural standards and enforceable commitments for mixed-use or density in growth areas, but several members warned that higher density alone does not guarantee affordability without explicit legal tools or incentives.
