Description: The Virginia Application for Rezoning and/or Future Land Use Map Amendment is a formal process used by property owners, developers, and individuals to request changes in the zoning designation or future land use designation of a specific parcel of land in the state of Virginia. This application is essential for those looking to develop or change the purpose of their property and plays a crucial role in shaping the growth and development of cities and counties across the state. When it comes to rezoning in Virginia, there are several types of applications, each serving a unique purpose. These may include: 1. Conditional Rezoning Application: This type of application is submitted by property owners or developers seeking a rezoning with specific conditions or limitations and is often utilized when there is a need to deviate from the existing zoning regulations. 2. Proffered Rezoning Application: This application is used when the developer proposes additional commitments or proffers associated with the rezoning request. Proffers could include contributing to infrastructure improvements, providing public amenities, or offering affordable housing options. 3.
