§ 90-781. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Where competing and incompatible uses conflict, traditional zoning methods and procedures are sometimes inadequate. In such cases, more flexible and adaptable zoning methods are needed to permit differing land uses and at the same time to recognize effects of change. It is the purpose of this article to provide a zoning method as authorized under Code of Virginia, § 15.2-2303 whereby a zoning reclassification may be allowed subject to certain conditions proffered by the zoning applicant for the protection of the community even though such conditions may not be generally applicable to land similarly zoned. While the conditions may vary from property to property by reason of the nature of the use and different circumstances at a particular location, it is not the intention of this section to authorize conditions limited to a particular individual or group, owner or operator, and the provisions of this article shall not be used for the purpose of discrimination in housing.
