LACA Land Use VisionAs Approved by LACA BOD on 2
Feb 06

• Implement and enforce village center concepts to
  channel economic and commercial development to
  pre-planned sites along transportation corridors
• Encourage provisions to deny development until
  infrastructure to support the development (roads,
  water, sewer, utilities, rescue, fire protection,
  etc) has been addressed
• Encourage more cluster development in future
  subdivisions to reserve and protect green space
  without growing overall net density,
• Restrict building in flood plains and adjacent
  margins to better control run-off, erosion, and
  pollution
• Achieve better discipline over subdivision mass
  drainfields, sewage treatment plants, and water
  works with operations and maintenance vested with
  the country
• Establish shoreline development standards similar
  to Louisa that protect the water quality, advance
  safety, and avoid waterfront clutter on all Lake
  Anna shoreline
• Improve roadway margins for passability to allow
  emergency vehicles to operate safely
