Can the Comprehensive Plan be changed?
The Code of Virginia mandates that the Comprehensive Plan be reviewed at least once every five years. Because of the dynamic growth experienced by the county over the past thirty years, the Plan has been evaluated more frequently. Proposed amendments to the Plan are submitted to a periodic public review process that includes public hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors must vote to adopt an amendment in order to change the Plan. Contact the Planning Division Planner-of-the-Day at 703-324-1380, TTY 711 for information about the Plan Amendment process.
