Changes to Prince William rural area to be considered Tuesday The McCoart Building at the Prince William County Government Center in Woodbridge.
Prince William County leaders on Tuesday will be asked to make changes to the long-established Rural Crescent, a 117,000-acre tract of land consuming more than half of the county, where new development is limited to a minimum of 10-acre lots and water and sewer lines are banned.
County staff will recommend the Board of County Supervisors adopt a Rural Area Plan an update to the county’s comprehensive plan from 2008 that would allow for new “rural character” areas, allowing for new cluster developments where new homes could be built on lots as small three acres.
