Introduced by: Mark L. Cole | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Powers of zoning administrator.  Expands certain authority related to enforcement of occupancy limits in residential dwelling units to all zoning administrators, rather than just those in Planning District 8. This bill is identical to HB 663.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Authority of a zoning administrator.  Adds Spotsylvania County to those localities with authority to provide that when the zoning administrator has reasonable cause to believe that any person has engaged in or is engaging in any violation of a zoning ordinance that limits occupancy in a residential dwelling unit, which is subject to a civil penalty that may be imposed in accordance with the provisions of § 15.2-2209, and the zoning administrator, after a good faith effort to obtain the data or information necessary to determine whether a violation has occurred, has been unable to obtain such information, he may request that the attorney for the locality petition the judge of the general district court for his jurisdiction for a subpoena duces tecum against any such person refusing to produce such data or information.
