The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors kicked off its year 2000 with an agenda marked for its lack of controversy in a meeting marked for its lack of turmoil. The board’s initial piece of business for the new year was the introduction of Bryant Lee as the new Hampton District Supervisor and the election of officers and representatives: Piedmont District Supervisor Pete Estes was reelected Chairman; Stonewall-Hawthom District Supervisor Robert Anderson was renamed to the Vice Chairman’s seat; Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier will continue to represent the Board on the Rappahannock County Planning Commission; and Anderson will represent the Board on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission.
The board also agreed to maintain the first Monday of the month schedule for Board of Supervisor meetings.
Zoning changes in the works
The board held a public hearing on proposed changes to the Zoning Chapter and the Subdivision Chapter of the Rappahannock County Code. These changes are a direct result of the Virginia House of Delegates HB2324, sponsored by Delegate Thomas M, Jackson, Jr. of House District 6, that “Provides that no local ordinance shall require as a condition of approval of a subdivision plat, site plan, or plan of development, or issuance of a building permit, that a special use permit be obtained for construction of residential dwellings at the use and density permitted by right under the ordinance.”
This Virginia bill does allow for the use of the special exception, special use, or conditional use permit process
