§ 4-4001. General description.

A.

The intent of this district is to provide for low to medium density residential development in those areas of the county which are identified as "village centers" in the Isle of Wight County Comprehensive Plan where the pattern of development has previously been established. These areas may not currently have public water and sewer and other public facilities available or planned for in the immediate future.

B.

The village center district has been established herein to assist in the fulfillment of the housing, public services and land use provisions of the comprehensive plan. It is the intent of this district, consistent with the plan, to provide for and preserve the character of these existing unincorporated population centers in the county, and to promote the configuration of new development into reasonable and effective service areas for the proper and efficient provision of water, sewerage, fire and police protection, and other public services.

C.

In general, it is intended that the VC district shall be used to preserve the character of these existing unincorporated rural population centers which have basically a single-family residential character but which also contain certain types of commercial or light industrial activities to serve primarily a local rural population. In addition, however, it is the intent that such zones may be used for lands where the creation of a new population center or centers would be appropriate and where such new center or centers would be consistent with the provisions of the comprehensive plan.

D.

The village centers identified in the comprehensive plan are as follows:

Battery Park

Carrsville

Central Hill

Isle of Wight Courthouse

Orbit Rescue

Rushmere

Walters Wills Corner
