- Board of supervisors recommendation for zoning ordinance amendments
Get the memo
Since last November, county officials have considered changes to the county’s zoning ordinance. Last fall, the board of supervisors initiated amendments to the county code to increase minimum lot sizes in land zoned agricultural. The Fredericksburg Area Association of Realtors spoke out against the proposal. This past February, the board appointed seven citizens to a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Committee (ZOTAC) that was tasked with developing future growth scenarios in the agricultural district. The ZOTAC met six times in two months and shared their recommendation with the board of supervisors in May. The supervisors made their final recommendation for amendments to bring to the planning commission. A planning commission public hearing is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 9 at 6:30 p.m. A board of supervisors public hearing is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m.

Data center construction being by-right in certain zones has been a hotly debated topic in the county this year.
