  • (a)

    The regulations, restrictions and boundaries established in this chapter may, from time to time, be amended, supplemented, changed, modified or repealed by a favorable majority of votes of the board of supervisors.

    (b)

    Any amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal of this chapter shall take effect only after a public hearing shall have been held in relation thereto at which parties in interest and citizens shall have had an opportunity to be heard.

    (c)

    Notice shall be published once a week for two successive weeks in some newspaper published or having general circulation in the county, provided that such notice for both the planning commission and the board of supervisors may be published concurrently. Such notice shall specify the time and place of the hearing at which persons affected may appear and present their views, not less than five days nor more than 21 days after the second advertisement shall appear in such newspaper. The term "two successive weeks," as used in this subsection, shall mean that such notice shall be published at least twice in such newspaper with not less than six days elapsing between the first and second publication. Additional notice procedures shall be followed as required in Code of Virginia, § 15.2-2204.

    (d)

    Changes shall be made by the board of supervisors in this chapter or the zoning map only after such changes have been referred to the planning commission for a report. Action shall be taken by the board of supervisors only after a report has been received from the planning commission, unless a period of 30 days has elapsed after the date of referral to the commission, after which time it shall be assumed the commission has approved the change or amendment. Any rezoning application initiated by the planning commission or board of supervisors shall require the purposes for which such rezoning is requested.

    (e)

    Any petition for an amendment, supplement, modification or repeal of this chapter or zoning map which is denied by the board of supervisors may not be reconsidered in substantially the same form for a period of one year following the date of the denial.

    (f)

    No application for rezoning, conditional use, special exception, variance, building permit, land disturbance permit, or erosion and sediment control permit shall be approved until the applicant has provided evidence that real estates taxes, personal property taxes, utility bills, business license taxes or other charges and fees owed to the county have been paid in full.
