Bill Summary
Removal of clutter; cutting of grass; agricultural use exemption; Planning District 19. Exempts localities located in Planning District 19 from provisions that exclude agricultural land from requirements relating to the removal of clutter and cutting of grass when such land is one acre or less and located in an area that is used for a residential purpose.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Virginia law that allows local governments to require property owners to remove trash, clutter, and cut grass and weeds. Specifically, it exempts land zoned for agricultural use in Planning District 19 from these requirements, unless the land is one acre or less and is also used for residential purposes. This means that in Planning District 19, agricultural land, even if it's small and has a house on it, will not be subject to local ordinances requiring the removal of clutter. The bill also makes a similar exemption for agricultural land in Planning District 6 and Planning District 22, clarifying that these exemptions apply unless the land is one acre or less and used for residential purposes.
