§ 98-781. Policy; findings; purpose of article.

It is the general policy of the county in accordance with the provisions of Code of Virginia, § 15.2-2283 to provide for the orderly development of land, for all purposes, through zoning and other land development legislation. Frequently, when 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. It is the purpose of this article to provide a more flexible and adaptable zoning method to cope with situations found in such zones through conditional zoning, whereby a zoning reclassification 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. The provisions of this article shall not be used for the purpose of discrimination in housing.
