County staff to move land development regulations from appendix into county code
Summary
Staff told the commission the county is converting its land development regulations (Appendix A) into formal chapters of the county code to clarify status as ordinances; paralegal Penny Patterson completed chapterization and staff anticipates a Board of Supervisors public hearing on the conversion.
Staff briefed the commission on a project to integrate the county’s land development regulations—previously Appendix A—into chapters of the Rockbridge County code.
The county’s paralegal has reformatted and chapterized the regulations; staff said this step recognizes the regulations’ ordinance status and puts them on the same footing as other county code chapters. "We only need one public hearing to move it into the code," staff said, describing the conversion as primarily organizational with later chapter‑by‑chapter substantive edits to follow.
Commissioners supported the update as an organizational improvement and staff described it as the first step before substantive items such as ADU and PUD changes are considered in public hearings.
