b.ZOTA-24-2 - Initiation of a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Remove Articles 4 and 5 to Address Changes to the Erosion and Stormwater Control Ordinance. The Department of Public Works is currently in the process of writing a new, combined Erosion and Stormwater Management Ordinance that will become a separate, stand-alone document, as required by State law. As a part of the creation of the new, stand-alone Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance must be revised to remove the current, out of date erosion and stormwater management regulations found in Article 4 and Article 5, as well as update several sections of the Zoning Ordinance that currently refer to Articles 4 and 5. This is a Town-initiated text amendment so as to remain in conformance with the requirements of the Code of Virginia, Section 62.1.44.15:51 Erosion and Sediment Control Law and Section 62.1-44.15:24 Stormwater Management Act, which will become effective on July 1, 2024.
