A RESOLUTION: COMMENTING ON LOUDOUN COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT TO ALLOW COMMUNAL FACILITIES FOR PUBLIC
INSTITUTIONS IN UGAs
WHEREAS, Loudoun County proposes a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPAM) to
allow communal water and wastewater facilities to serve public institutions in the town's Urban
Growth Areas (UGAs); and
WHEREAS, the county has requested comment on the proposed CPAM from the towns
with UGAs; and
WHEREAS, l) the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is in direct conflict with
Virginia State Water Control Board law regarding wastewater treatment in the Dulles-area
watershed; 2) in conflict with previous agreements between the county and the town which state
that if utilities are to be extended into the Leesburg UGA that the town be permitted to extend
utilities and 3) if the town elected not to extend utilities it is the town's position that package plants
not be permitted in the town's UGA for public facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Dulles-area watershed encompasses Leesburg and our surrounding UGA,
subjecting Leesburg to special waste treatment policies inconsistent with the county's proposal.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as
follows:
The town hereby urges the county, for the reasons stated in the recitals, to specifically
exclude Leesburg from any comprehensive plan action related to communal water and wastewater
facilities in UGAs.
