Section 15.1-491(b) of the Code of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of both the town and any newly annexed
areas to temporarily continue the regulations and zoning district designations

accomodate newly annexed areas and amends its zoning ordinance appropriately; and
WHEREAS, this Council initiated amendment of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance
to revise Section 1-3, Annexations, on January 13, 1982 and gave notice of a joint
public hearing of the Town Council and Planning Commission held February 10, 1982
at which time interested persons were given an opportunity to express their views;

lic necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice required amend-
ment of Section 1-3 of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance:-
