Commissioners’ comments and recommendations, before the final copies are made.
Planning Commission members vigorously defended the maps against Newbill Miller’s charge that the scale of the maps is so small it renders them inaccurate.
Detail and accuracy aren’t the point, at least not for these maps, David Fannon said. “These are just to be used as an aid, a guide for comprehensive planning,” he said. Rappahannock can’t afford a set of maps with the scale large enough to be precisely accurate, he said.
Fanning Baumgardner said Miller might be confused by the difference between a comprehensive plan and zoning maps. “In a comprehensive plan you don’t pinpoint, in a zoning ordinance you do,” he said. “These maps just show what kind of a county we have, not what you can do (in terms of land use),” he said.
