When Rappahannock’s first zoning ordinance was enacted, local officials included two provisions to make the land use laws palatable to county voters: first, allowance for family graveyards as a by-right use in the agricultural and conservation zones that comprise most of Rappahannock; second, an exemption for family subdivisions (the transfer of lots between parents, children and spouses) from compliance with the ordinance’s regulations, most importantly, its minimum lot size or density.
But faced with an attempt to circumvent the zoning ordinance’s controls through abuse of the family transfer, the county’s planning commissioners are looking harder at this exception.
“I’m afraid we’re getting to the situation where we’re going to have to strike it altogether,” said Newbill Miller, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission.
“Absolutely!” concurred Commissioner Werner Krebser, to nods of agreement from the other commissioners at last week’s meeting.
