Chesterfield County Zoning Ordinance Modernization - Use Matrix, Regulations, and Definitions

Learn more about public comment opportunities for Use Matrix, Use Regulations and Definitions. This comment period ended on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023. The Use Matrix is a key piece of the new zoning ordinance because it identifies where different types of homes, businesses and other forms of development are allowed. The new Use Matrix is a vast improvement over the one in the current zoning ordinance today. It identifies modern land uses, while removing obsolete terms and uses that are no longer relevant. The new Use Matrix has also been streamlined, reducing the overall number of uses to make it easier to use. Additionally, in the Definitions section, all the uses in the Use Matrix have been defined which is a change from what we have today. All these changes result in a clearer structure for the zoning ordinance, reducing guesswork about what is and isn’t allowed. The new Use Matrix is structured in a much more user-friendly way, categorizing uses by their primary function or theme, rather than alphabetically. Accompanying the Use Matrix are Use Regulations that establish standards for individual uses, including regulations for restricted uses and other conditions that may apply.
