Staff outlines comprehensive-plan update, inputs and schedule

Powhatan County Planning Commission · February 26, 2026

Summary

Planning staff reviewed documents informing the comp-plan revision — Board strategic priorities, CWG recommendations, housing and utilities studies — and proposed a timeline: updated land-use map by June 30, revised plan by end of September, and ordinances by year-end.

Staff began the workshop by listing the main inputs for a comprehensive-plan update: the Board of Supervisors' strategic priorities, Citizens Working Group recommendations (CWG), the housing study, the utilities master plan and the economic development master plan. The presentation emphasized that the land-use map update will be the first step and will drive later ordinance changes.

Staff proposed an implementation schedule: complete an updated land-use map by June 30 (end of fiscal year), revise the full comprehensive plan by the end of September, and draft related ordinances by the end of the calendar year. Staff said additional workshops and smaller preparatory meetings would be scheduled to meet those milestones.
