The Virginia Supreme Court declared the county’s Zoning Ordinance Modification Project (zMOD) void yesterday (Thursday) because the new code was adopted at a mostly virtual meeting — a ruling could have consequences for other actions taken during the first years of the pandemic, as noted by Inside NoVA, which first reported the decision.
The county is now operating under its previous zoning ordinance, which had been in place since 1978, according to the zoning administration division’s website.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT REVIEW
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Association, is a great time for reflecting on the past and looking toward the future!
Part of looking toward the future includes the review the governing documents by which the Association must operate. Many things contained in these documents have and will continue to serve us well. Other items will need to be added, modified, or deleted to keep current, and in anticipation of future needs.
The Governing Document Review Committee has gathered information and is working with the Association’s legal counsel to refine the documents. We expect to receive the recommended changes later this summer/early fall and will present the proposed changes to the Owners later this year. Changes to the Declaration and Bylaws will be voted on by the Owners.
Please watch for future announcements regarding the document update. For more information regarding these changes, contact: vp@fmeha.org
