A RESOLUTION: INITIATING AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEESBURG TOWN PLAN
ELIMINATING DAVIS AVENUE FROM THE TRANSPORTATION
POLICY MAP
WHEREAS, the Town's Environmental Advisory Commission, the Parks &
Recreation Advisory Commission, and the Tree Commission have reviewed the impact of
constructing Davis Avenue as called for in the 1997 Town Plan and have concluded that
there would be negative and costly impacts if said road were constructed as planned; and
WHEREAS, said Commissions have recommended that the Town Plan be
amended to eliminate Davis Avenue from the Transportation Policy Map of the Town
Plan so that said construction would not be required; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that Davis Avenue had not been included in
the previous traffic studies conducted by the Virginia Department of Transportation on
behalf of the Town, and therefore such elimination of the Davis Avenue link would have
no impact on the transportation system as modeled; and
WHEREAS, on September 21, the Planning and Zoning Committee of the Town
Council considered said recommendation of said Commissions and recommended to the
full Council that it initiate an amendment to the Transportation Element of the Town Plan
t° eliminate the Davis Avenue segment of the road network as currently depicted in the
Transportation Policy Map.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows: ,
SECTION I: Staff is hereby directed to process a Town Plan Amendment in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 15.2-2229 of the Code of Virginia to
