Loudoun’s Zoning Ordinance, the document that will guide the County’s economic growth, is in crisis.
 
For nearly three years, County staff and stakeholders have attempted to rewrite the ordinance that enforces land use plans and guides economic and residential growth in Loudoun. Yet, in its current form, the draft ordinance remains overly complex, inconsistent, restrictive, and misaligned with the County's workforce housing and economic development needs.
 
Why It matters: If these conditions are not corrected, future development in Loudoun will be hampered by increased costs, time and uncertainty.
 
On April 18^th, the Loudoun Chamber will host a conversation with housing, tourism and land use experts to discuss the good, the bad and what needs to be fixed with the current draft ordinance, before the Board of Supervisors attempts to finalize this document this summer.   
 
Speakers include:

• Keynote Speaker, Charles Yudd, Deputy Administrator, Loudoun County Government
• Panelists:
  • Beth Erickson, CEO, Visit Loudoun
  • John Mossgrove, Project Manager, Merritt Properties
  • Angela Rassas, Vice President, Land Entitlement, Toll Brothers
  • Matthew Lawrence, Associate Vice President and Office Director, Pennoni
• MC: Colleen Gillis, Land Use and Zoning Partner, Cooley LP
