Sec. 23-7.6.1. - Purpose and intent.
This district is created in furtherance of the purposes set forth in
Sections 15.2-2200, 15.2-2283 and 15.2-2284 of the Code of Virginia, to
protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public.
(1) Encouraging and articulating positive visual experience along the
county's major existing and proposed highway corridors;
(2) Providing for the continued safe and efficient use of these
highway corridors;
(3) Minimizing intersections and individual site access points along
these corridors;
(4) Discouraging indiscriminate clearing, excessive grading, and
clear cutting along these corridors;
(5) Minimizing cut and fill operations by placing emphasis on the
retention of natural topography of these corridors; and
(6) Protecting existing natural vegetation and wildlife habitats
along these corridors;
(7) Maintaining natural beauty and scenic, cultural, and historic
character of these corridors, particularly distinctive views, vistas,
and visual continuity;
(8) Promoting a bicycle and pedestrian friendly environment complete
with vegetation, sidewalks and trails, seating areas, public art and
water features, bike racks, and safe pedestrian crossings.
(Ord. No. 23-128, 11-12-08)
Sec. 23-7.6.2. - Establishment of districts.
The highway corridor overlay district (HCOD) shall be designated by
the board of supervisors by ordinance and will overlay all other zoning
districts where it is applied so that any parcel of land lying in an
HCOD shall also lie within one (1) or more other land use districts
provided for by this chapter. The regulations and other requirements of
both the underlying districts and the HCOD shall apply, provided that
when the regulations applicable to the HCOD conflict with the
regulations of the underlying district, the more restrictive regulations
shall apply.
(Ord. No. 23-128, 11-12-08)
Sec. 23-7.6.3. - District boundaries.
HCOD boundaries shall be as designated on the official zoning map, as

(1) Length of the district shall be established by fixing points of
beginning and end along the centerline of a street or highway.
(2) Width shall be established by designation of the distance on one
(1) or both sides of a street or highway right-of-way to which the
overlay district shall extend, as described in section 23-7.6.4
(Ord. No. 23-128, 11-12-08)
The following classes of HCOD, as established by the board of county
supervisors, shall determine the regulations and requirements applicable
to each designated section of an HCOD:
(1) Primary development HCOD. The primary development HCOD
designation was established in areas where existing and future
development demands are expected to be high as the county grows. Due to
existing and future growth potential within these areas, primary HCOD
specific design guidelines have been established to enhance the design
of development on a consistent basis, be less rural in nature and
promote a more urbanized, development intensive character. Generally the
primary HCOD has been established within the boundary of the primary
development boundary of the county.
(2) Rural development HCOD. The rural development HCOD designation
was established in areas where existing and future development demands
are expected to be low as the county grows. These are areas that are
more rural in character and as such design guidelines have been
developed to complement and preserve that character in the rural HCOD.
Generally the rural HCOD has been established within the
agricultural/rural districts of the county.
(Ord. No. 23-128, 11-12-08)

(Ord. No. 23-128, 11-12-08)
Sec. 23-7.6.11. - Transitional rules.
(1) Existing lawful uses.
(a) When a lot is used lawfully on the effective date of this
division and section 23-7.6.6 of this division classifies such use as a
"permitted use" in the zoning district in which it is located, such use
is hereby deemed a lawful permitted use for the purposes of this
division.
(b) When a lot is used lawfully on the effective date of this
division, and section 23-7.6.7 of this division classifies such use as a
"special use" in the zoning district in which it is located, such use is
hereby deemed a lawful special use for the purposes of this division.
All special use approvals granted by the board of supervisors prior to
the effective date of this division shall remain in full force and
effect, and the recipient of the special use approval may proceed to
develop the property in accordance with the plans previously approved by
the board. If the approval of such special use was subject to one or
more conditions, then those conditions shall continue in full force and
effect unless a new special use approval is obtained in accordance with
article 4, division 5 of this chapter. However, if the recipient of the
special use approval has failed to commence development before the
special use approval expires, or if no expiration is specified within
one (1) year of the adoption of this division, then the provisions of
this division shall govern. Any new owner or occupant of a lawful
special use may continue operation of that use without needing a new
special use approval pursuant to this division, provided that operation
of the lawful special use is continued in the same manner as it existed
on the effective date of this division.
(c) Any addition to or expansion of a lawful special use, as defined
in subsection (1)(b) above, shall require new special use approval in
accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in article 4,
division 5 of this chapter for new special uses.
(2) Uses rendered nonconforming. When a lot is used for a purpose
which was a lawful use before the effective date of this division, and
this division no longer classifies such use as either a permitted use or
special use in the zoning district in which it is located, such use is
hereby deemed a nonconforming use and shall be controlled by the
provisions of article 8 of this chapter.
(3) Buildings, structures, and lots rendered nonconforming. Where any
building, structure, or lot which existed on the effective date of this
division does not meet all standards set forth in this division, such

except for the requirements of this division.
(9) Revisions to grandfathered plats and plans. Revisions to
