Description
Comprehensive plans and official maps; road improvements. Requires that the comprehensive plan shall be general in nature, in that it shall designate the general or approximate location, character, and extent of each road and transportation improvement shown on the plan. The bill also requires that the comprehensive plan include an official map that shall show road and transportation improvements, including the cost of such road and transportation improvements, which are sufficient to meet the current and future needs of residents in the locality while considering the current and future needs of the planning district within which the locality is situated. In addition, the local planning commission shall, in the preparation of a comprehensive plan, survey and study road and transportation improvements and the costs thereof. The local planning commission, in localities where no official map exists or where an existing official map is incomplete, shall make, or cause to be made, a map showing the location of every road and transportation improvement and any cost thereof. This bill has been incorporated into HB 1521. Amends § 15.2-2223 (“Comprehensive plan to be prepared and adopted; scope and purpose.”), § 15.2-2224 (“Surveys and studies to be made in preparation of plan; implementation of plan.”), § 15.2-2233 (“Maps to be prepared in localities; what map shall show.”), of the Code of Virginia.
