Bill Summary
Review of plats and plans by locality; designated agent. Allows any locality with a population of 20,000 or less to use its planning commission as the designated agent for purposes of reviewing and acting on subdivision plats, site plans, and plans of development. Currently, only localities with a population of 5,000 or less are permitted to use their planning commissions for such purpose.
AI Summary
This bill expands the ability of smaller localities in Virginia to streamline their review processes for development plans by allowing any locality with a population of 20,000 or less to designate its planning commission as the "designated agent" responsible for reviewing and acting on subdivision plats, site plans, and plans of development. Previously, this authority was limited to localities with a population of 5,000 or less. A "designated agent" is an entity authorized by a locality to handle these reviews, and this change broadens the scope of localities that can utilize their planning commission for this purpose, simplifying administrative procedures for these smaller communities.
