Learn more about public comment opportunities for Development Standards and Overlays. This comment period ended on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023.
Development Standards are regulations for infrastructure, site design, and layout that apply throughout the County and supplement the standards for individual zoning districts. They serve to implement the Comprehensive Plan and guide the orderly layout and use of land. The new draft contains 13 categories of development standards. These standards are provided for each zoning district and serve as the rules for new construction. You can also review another new section of the zoning ordinance covering Special and Overlay Districts. Two new overlay districts have been added, the Village Overlay and the Urban Corridor Overlay. The Village Overlay applies to the historic villages of Bon Air, Chester, Ettrick and Midlothian. It includes higher standards for building design, roads and pedestrian elements, lighting, and location of gas pumps. The main reason for this overlay is to support a pedestrian focused community design over the typical auto-oriented design elsewhere. The Urban Corridor Overlay is intended to protect and enhance Chesterfield’s already developed areas along the Route 1, 10, 60 and 360 corridors in Chesterfield County.
