Coleman said later, adding that he wanted Trible to respond to his comments, not “try to hide within a cocoon.”

Parris said he supports conditional zoning, a tool that permits local governments to accept proffers for costs inflicted by developers in land rezoning cases.
However, Parris criticized the impact fees legislation recently approved by the General Assembly. His concern, he said, is that local governments could accept contribution of impact fees and use them for some purpose other than the development-impacted needs.
Coleman and Guest also support the proffer system used in Northern Virginia. Trible favors regional cooperation, saying Virginians “need to speak more and more with one voice.”
