County staff will review the zoning ordinance as part of the implementation process for the Comprehensive Plan. During this review, they are to look at existing programs, such as down-payment assistance, housing trust funds, and home purchase programs, as well as other regulatory changes that could be implemented to provide more housing affordability.
The Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® (DAAR) has been a long-term advocate for addressing the unmet housing needs in the County and supports the availability of a wide range of urban, suburban and rural housing choices at all price levels for those who wish to purchase or rent property in Loudoun County. Throughout the process of developing a Comprehensive Plan, DAAR has also proposed policy and regulatory changes that could be enacted to address the needs of the County, including eliminating zoning requirements that may contribute to the high cost of housing in this area.
