Potential Development of Prime Soils within the AR Zoning Areas

Description

The purpose of the Cluster Subdivision Regulations Zoning Ordinance Amendment  (ZOAM-2020-0002) is to improve the design of and guide future clustered residential development within the AR-1 & AR-2 zoning districts by incorporating natural features, protecting and conserving agriculturally productive prime agricultural soils, allowing for productive and effective and equine and rural economy uses, and further implementing the policies of the Loudoun County 2019 General Plan (RGP) with respect to clustered rural residential development.  This application focuses on different aspects of the potential development of prime soils within the AR Zoning by providing individual maps for viewing and discussion.  

The first map shows unprotected and protected prime soils in regards to three specific geographical districts; Agricultural and Forestal Districts, Conservation Easements and Residential Developments (10+ houses).  The second map shows parcels with potential development, meeting certain criteria, and associated environmental constraints that might limit future cluster development.  The third map shows the existing cluster developments that exist as of August 2021 and the fourth map shows the rural hamlets that exist as of May 2021.  

Each of the maps are interactive and allows for further information to be obtained by clicking on locations in the maps themselves.
