§ 30-1170.1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Pursuant to applicable provisions of Code of Virginia, §§ 15.2-2296 and 15.2-2298, the purpose of conditional zoning is to recognize that frequently, where competing and incompatible uses conflict, traditional zoning methods and procedures are inadequate. In these cases, more flexible and adaptable zoning methods are needed to permit differing land uses and at the same time to recognize effects of change.

    (b)

    It is, therefore, the purpose of this division to provide a more flexible and adaptable zoning method to cope with such situations through conditional zoning, whereby a change in the zoning classification of property may be allowed subject to certain conditions proffered by the zoning applicant for the protection of the community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned. It is the intent of the City Council that this division shall not be used for the purpose of discrimination in housing.
