What is the relationship between the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning?
The Comprehensive Plan forms the guide for zoning in New Kent County, and can be considered a "blueprint" for future zoning decisions. While future land use plan designations are only recommendations of possible future use, they are used as an important guide for the changing of any zoning classification. The Plan is not a zoning ordinance and amendments will not change existing zoning designations, but it is a guide for which zoning changes are anticipated and considered.
