SENATE BILL NO. 1011 AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE (Proposed by the Senate Committee on Transportation on January 30, 2020) (Patron Prior to Substitute--Senator McDougle) A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding a section numbered 33.2-269.1, relating to Department of Transportation design standards; modifications.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 33.2-269.1 as follows:

§ 33.2-269.1. Application of design standards; modification.

Any Residency Engineer of the Department, or in the event that the Residency does not have a Residency Engineer, the unlicensed Residency Administrator, shall have the authority to approve modifications to the Department's design standards when applying such standards where appropriate to encourage economic development, address an identified safety concern, account for local topographic constraints, or address off-site impacts of development as negotiated through the rezoning process. Nothing in this section shall be construed to provide authorization for approval of exceptions to design standards governed by authorities having jurisdiction other than the Department.
