Chesepeake Bay Preservation : LoCo proposal

Thanks Cliff! Wondering if you or Staci might be able to clarify a few things so we know how to interpret the map...

Do I understand this correctly to mean that if you're in the Screening Area (outside the RPA) & "improving" less than 2500 sq ft there would be no additional costs for surveys, approvals, etc.

Also, does the map you posted delineate between the RPA & RPA Screening Area? I've been trying to get the online link to work but it's temperamental.

 

If you are in the screening area, it will need to be determined whether or not there is RPA on your property. Exactly how this process will take place is unknown. If, for argument's sake, it is determined that there is no RPA on your property and your improvement is less than 2500 sq ft, then it's business as usual.
On the map, known RPA is in dark green. The RPA screening area is in brown.
There is a legend at the bottom of the map.

 

FYI.... COMMUNITY MEETINGS PLANNED by Stevens Miller

Dear Neighbor,
I am interested in hearing Dulles District residents’ opinions regarding the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. I will be hosting two community meetings to discuss concerns with Dulles District residents. Loudoun County staff will present information and attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions. I hope you can attend the following community meetings:
Thursday, June 17th at 6:30 pm, Eagle Ridge Middle School
Tuesday, June 22nd at 6:30 pm, Mercer Middle School
At both meetings, the Countywide Transportation Plan will also be discussed.

Thanks Cliff!! If it is determined you're in the RPA does that mean you will not be able to build under any circumstances?

 

No, that is not what it means.
