The Greene County Planning Commission recommended approval of OR 26‑001, a package of zoning amendments intended to bring local regulations into compliance with recent changes to Virginia law on manufactured homes.
Staff said the draft ordinance was reviewed in a prior work session; the principal edit since that meeting was removal of language that would have prevented accessory dwelling units from being manufactured homes, because the state code precludes such a prohibition. Staff emphasized the changes are largely definitional to align Greene County’s ordinance with Va. Code §15.2‑2290. A motion to recommend approval passed; the chair recorded affirmative roll‑call votes for Mr. Kelt, Mr. Snow and Mr. Mastrovich and the chair.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for final action. Staff said no further local substantive changes were made beyond the code‑compliance edits and that implementation will follow standard ordinance adoption procedures.
