BACKGROUND: Virginia Code ? 15.2-2302 authorizes the Board to waive the requirement for a public hearing when an applicant for a rezoning seeks only to amend existing proffers that do not affect use or density. County Code ? 18-33.7(f) implements Virginia Code ? 15.2-2302 by allowing applications to first come to the Board to allow it to decide how the application may be processed: (1) by referring the application to the Planning Commission for a recommendation, either with or without a public hearing as determined by the Board; or (2) by considering the application without a recommendation of the Planning Commission, either with or without a public hearing. On January 6, 2016, the Board adopted a Resolution of Intent to consider amendments to the County Code pertaining to the application and procedural requirements, as well as the fees, for such rezoning applications, as authorized by Virginia Code ? 15.2-2302. (See Attachment A) On March 8, 2016, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed zoning text amendment (ZTA), recommended approval of ZTA201600002 as recommended by staff (Attachment B2), and further recommended that the Board adopt the attached draft policy for considering requests for a simplified application process for rezonings to amend proffers that do not affect use or density (Attachment C).
