Chesterfield revamps zoning case status web page
Chesterfield County has revamped its web page for looking up pending zoning cases. It details information about zoning case applications, including the applicant, the county case manager assigned to the case, a summary of the project, contact information for the zoning team and a map showing the proposed project location.
The web page includes a visualized representation of the six stages of county review and approval for zoning application and, for each individual case, indicates which stage the case is currently in. It also includes an interactive county map of all pending zoning cases that use GIS mapping. The page can be viewed here.
