§ 9-14. Front yard requirements adjacent to substandard rights-of-way.  


Latest version.
  • In the event a property being developed abuts a public or private street which has a right-of-way width of less than fifty (50) feet, or which is substandard under the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation, or less than the width necessary to accommodate future road improvements based on the Comprehensive Plan of the County or the plans of the Virginia Department of Transportation or the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization, the normally required front yard and any required front perimeter landscape yard depths for said development shall be increased by an amount which is equal to one-half (½) of the total right-of-way deficiency. The area so added shall be reserved for future road-way construction and no structure shall be erected within it in anticipation of the area being incorporated into the existing street right-of-way.
