One for the Dogs: Proposed Zoning Amendment Would Allow More Dog Parks
Supervisors re-initiate change that would permit such facilities in Lansdowne, South Riding, PD-H communities.
In response to the plight of communities stymied by county zoning, two members of the Loudoun Board of Supervisors will ask their colleagues Wednesday to consider amending the county’s zoning ordinance to permit dog parks in Planned Development-Housing districts.
Stevens Miller, the immediate past supervisor of the Dulles District, first initiated the amendment in 2011. The current board removed the item from its work plan in 2012, but Supervisors Ralph Buona (Ashburn-R) and Matt Letoureau (R-Dulles) have called for its revival in response to requests by the Lansdowne Village Greens and South Riding communities.
The board meeting begins at 4 p.m. May 15 at the County Government Center in Leesburg. Get the agenda and other documents related the board meeting on the county’s website.
