the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission held in executive director John Capelle's Culpeper office last Friday, December 15.
In reviewing the direction that PD-9 staff will follow as Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan is developed, Capelle proposed that background research compromise between describing the whole county in broad, general terms —mentioning that the villages exist—and talking about nothing but the villages.
"We’re not advocating growth around the villages at this point," he explained, asking the Planners if they wanted the kind of detailed description of villages included in Culpeper County's comprehensive plan.
PD-9 staff member David Marshall showed the Planners an example of the work done for Culpeper. He noted that village maps for a mile radius from the village center included overlays giving existing land use and zoning, soils and slopes. The maps in conjunction with text provide information on the history, number of houses, soils, forest cover and development limitations.
