What is the Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan is the long-range plan for the physical development of the County. It sets forth the County's future plans for land use, transportation, community facilities, the environment, housing, economic development, and historic resources. It is implemented by the County's various development ordinances, particularly the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, as well as the Capital Improvements Program. In accordance with the Code of Virginia, the Plan is reviewed and, if necessary, updated every five years through a public process. View the current Comprehensive Plan, Charting the Course to 2035.
