A RESOLUTION: INITIATING AMENDMENT OF THE LEESBURG ZONING ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, the final plat of cluster developments approved under Section
8-2-11-8 of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance shows lot areas, yards and lot widths
as varied by the approval of the plat and governs the location of buildings on
each lot; and
WHEREAS, cluster developments may contain lots on which side yard require-
ments have been varied to zero feet thereby permitting, as intended by the coun-
cil, single family dwellings on separate lots to abut or adjoin or utilize com-
mon or party walls; and
WHEREAS, the council finds that an amendment of the Leesburg Zoning Ordi-
nance is necessary to eliminate any question that such dwellings are permitted
in R-1 and R-2 districts within the meaning and intent of the zoning ordinance:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as
follows:
SECTION I. An amendment of the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance is initiated to
add a new section, to be known as Section 8-2-11-7 to read as follows:
8-2-11-7 A dwelling designed for, or occupied by, one family, including
not more than two rooms for roomers, which is situated on a
separate lot in a cluster development may be attached at the
side or rear to not more than one such other dwelling by a
party wall without openings, provided that the approved final
plat of the cluster subdivision establishes yard requirements
permitting such attachment.
SECTION II. The Planning Commission shall conduct a public meeting as soo~
as permitted by law and report its recommendations on the proposed amendment to
the Town Council within 60 days of the adoption of this resolution.
