<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map adopted by the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors on November 14, 2013. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The Future Land Use Element/ Map is described in the Comprehensive Plan as follows:</SPAN></P><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>The purpose of the Land Use chapter is to encourage the appropriate use of land, water, and other resources within the County, consistent with the interests of the citizens of Spotsylvania County. The Land Use chapter is a guide for future land use decisions within the County following these general objectives:</SPAN></P><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Plan for the orderly development of the County </SPAN></P><UL><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Promote a diverse and vibrant economic base</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Maximize the use of existing infrastructure and public facilities to ensure the most efficient operation of facilities and the provision of services</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Accommodate projected residential growth in a manner that is fiscally responsible</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Strive for safe and affordable housing for people of all ages</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Ensure land use policies recognize and accommodate anticipated population increases</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Encourage a community service sector and a commercial base that meets the needs of the citizens and businesses in Spotsylvania County</SPAN></P></LI></UL><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>The element describes land use categories and policies that provide a framework to guide physical development and land use changes in the County. The Future Land Use Map (MAP 1) depicts future land development patterns that are intended promote, preserve, and protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens. The Map is not intended to be parcel specific, but rather provides a flexible guide for the County’s desired future development patterns.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Land use designations on the Future Land Use Map do not change a parcel’s zoning classification, nor do they impact continuation of existing legal land uses or other uses permitted by existing zoning. Indeed, new development that is in accordance with the Future Land Use Map should ensure appropriate siting and transitions to existing development that may differ from the identified land use on the Map in order to minimize negative impacts on existing development. Additionally, it should be noted that different densities and intensities of development are appropriate within each of the land use categories. Each application should be evaluated within the context of its surrounding existing and proposed development, as well as the timing of the infrastructure necessary to support the development.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Land use decisions should be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map may be amended pursuant to the Code of Virginia §15.2-2.2229.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
