Loudoun County, VA: Implementing Three Iterations of Zoning Ordinance Online Alongside the Development of a Modern Zoning Ordinance

Launched in 2020, the new interactive Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance portal contains the adopted land use and design standards. Citizens, developers, and staff can use this portal to find information on the development review process, zoning, overlay districts, and other development standards. The staff at Loudoun County partnered with enCodePlus (ECP) to create a space for all development-related information linked in the main menu navigation under “Useful Links” and a self-help “How Do I?” section. Here are the documents available through this interactive portal:

Revised 1993 Zoning Ordinance
1993 Zoning Ordinance
1972 Zoning Ordinance
Land Subdivision and Development Ordinance

After the county staff launched the public portal, an admin site was created to facilitate the drafting of the new zoning ordinance (ZO), which would serve to modernize development standards and align with the county’s comprehensive plan vision. This project site allows county staff, attorneys, consultants, and stakeholders to collaborate, draft, and present portions of the new ZO for consideration. Once the new ZO is adopted, it will be migrated onto the main site to create a
ZO regulation history starting in 1972 and continuing through the present. That’s over 48 years of legislative history!

“Loudoun Co, VA uses a project site to share updates and accessible draft versions of the ZOMod online. Use a project site to jump-start your rewrite or update today!”
