BOS Adopts Three Ordinances
To Conform to Chesapeake Bay Act

The Board of Supervisors at its January 23 meeting adopted three ordinances that will bring Prince George County into compliance with the Chesapeake Bay Protection Act and meet state mandates.
 
Following a public hearing, the BOS unanimously approved three changes to local ordinances that are required under the Chesapeake Bay Protection Act.  The three ordinances strengthen current policies and also meet state requirements.
 
The ordinances adopted included:
 
Add the required elements of site plan to the Zoning Ordinance; rename the state group responsible for overseeing the Chesapeake Bay Program for the State of Virginia; add requirements for on-site sewage pump-out; and add notations for subdivision plats into the Subdivision Ordinance.
