Agriculture/Aquaculture Planning Committee Meeting

East Room of York Hall, 301 Main Street, Yorktown

Delegate Brenda Pogge Newsletter 96th District, Virginia House of Delegates               October 27, 2011    Sweeping Changes Coming to York Zoning On Thursday, October 13th I attended the York County Planning District meeting. The topic of discussion was proposed zoning changes for York County. What I heard astounded me! There was a laundry list of approximately 20 zoning ordinances that will forever change life in York County. These proposed ordinances include drastic changes for residents who now enjoy certain property rights associated with their Rural Residential zoning. Imagine a farming and fishing community where traditional activities such as chicken keeping, horseback riding, raising vegetables, selling excess produce or eggs to your neighbors, even docking your work boat will be regulated, restricted or totally banned. The new three R's of York County zoning will be Restrictions, Regulations and Raising Fees; all of these amount to a government encroachment upon the property rights of York County residents and invisible tax increases in the form of permitting fees which limit the citizen's freedoms and choices. If you live in York County, especially in a Rural Residential district you need to be at the next planning district meeting on Nov 9th and the next Board of Supervisors meeting on Nov 16th. I will be sending out an update with specific information soon. Brenda Pogge
