Sec. 20.5-93.
Rights-of-way.
(a) Where a subdivision abuts an
existing public right-of-way which has a width deficiency created either because it is
less than fifty feet (50') in width or because adopted plans show that a greater width
will be necessary to accommodate those plans, the subdivider shall be required to dedicate
additional rights-of-way as follows:
(1) Where the subdivision abuts one (1) side of the
right-of-way, the subdivider shall dedicate one-half (½) of the right-of-way deficiency
along the frontage of the subdivision.
(2) Where the subdivision abuts both sides of the right-of-way,
the subdivider shall dedicate all of the right-of-way deficiency along the frontages of
the subdivision.
(b) Where the subdivision embraces any part of an
arterial or collector street or thoroughfare shown on an approved
Comprehensive Plan, official map, or state or regional transportation
plan, such street or thoroughfare shall be platted for dedication in the
location and width indicated on such plan or map or as deemed necessary
by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and, except in the
case of a limited or controlled access facility, shall be constructed
and integrated as a part of the subdivision.
(c) The minimum right-of-way width shall
be fifty (50) feet, or such greater width as may be specified by the
Virginia Department of Transportation.
