  • Greenbrier County Comprehensive Plan Planning and Land Use I
    Greenbrier County Comprehensive Plan Planning and Land Use I. Summary Planning and Land Use focuses on land use and growth policies for Greenbrier County, including: Future Land Use Planning Policies Areas for both rural (Natural Resource and Rural Communities and Villages) and urban (Residential Transition and Designated Growth Areas) lands; Criteria and guidelines for evaluating new development; Neighborhood and community design standards (traditional neighborhood design, low impact design, LEED design standards, Earthcraft Design); and Best planning practices (planning programs and tools: flexible land use ordinances, capital improvements, impact fees, impact analysis and mitigation plans, and transfer/purchase of development rights) and professional planning framework. II. Planning and Land Use Policies, Goals, Objectives, and Strategies (Policy) Proactive Planning. Greenbrier County will adopt a proactive approach to planning in order to ensure the long term viability and sustainability of the communities, the heritage, and the environment, recognizing a responsibility to both current residents and property owners and to future generations of residents and property owners. (Policy) Consistency. All growth and development, both public and private, in Greenbrier County shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan. (Policy) Critical Features. All growth and development requests will be evaluated with respect to their impact on the critical, sensitive, or special, environmental, cultural, community, or historic resources shown on the Greenbrier Critical Features Maps included in this plan. (Policy) Future Land Use Map and Policy Changes. In order to minimize the potential impact from sprawl and inconsistent development patterns, comprehensive plan amendments and changes to the future land use map will only be approved after a detailed review of the proposal and the potential impacts and will only be considered if the requested change in designation is for property adjacent to a different land use category.
