HB 2819 Zoning violations.

Introduced by: Frank D. Hargrove, Sr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Zoning violations. Provides that if a zoning violation is uncorrected at the time of conviction, the court shall order the abatement of the violation within a specified time and that failure to do so will constitute a separate offense for each succeeding thirty-day period. This is in response to a recent Virginia Court of Appeals decision in which the court held that localities do not currently have the authority to provide in their local ordinances that each day of a continuing zoning violation shall constitute a separate offense.
