Chesterfield County has taken the first steps toward a major overhaul of its zoning ordinance, a process that’s expected to take several years to complete.
The project, which the county expects to cost as much as $1 million, aims to modernize its land-use categories, make the ordinance more user-friendly and develop a new online zoning ordinance tool, among other improvements.
Consulting firm White & Smith LLC is leading the project for the county. The firm’s Mark White and county staff briefed the Planning Commission on the effort last week.
