NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 
TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE LEESBURG TOWN PLAN INCLUDING UPDATES TO THE CRESCENT DISTRICT MASTER PLAN AND UPDATES TO VARIOUS SECTIONS OF LEGACY LEESBURG TO REFLECT THE UPDATES

Pursuant to Sections 15.2-1427, 15.2-2204, 15.2-2205 and 15.2-2285 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, the LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL will hold a public hearing on TUESDAY, November 19, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia 20176 to consider amendments to the Crescent District Master Plan (CDMP) and the Legacy Leesburg components of the Town Plan. The CDMP is a Small Area Comprehensive Plan as described in Va. Code § 15.2-2303.4.E and is designated as a revitalization and redevelopment area. The CDMP is included in the Legacy Leesburg component of the Town Plan by reference. The CDMP will provide new and updated policy guidance for the Crescent District as depicted in the figure below. The updated CDMP will reduce the overall size of the Crescent Area Planning Designation in Legacy Leesburg, establish new “place types” and land use policy guidance to supplement the Town Plan, and provide new policy guidance regarding streetscape and roadway planning. 

The proposed Town Plan Amendments will also include revisions to various other sections of Legacy Leesburg to recognize the CDMP and allow its policies to supersede certain policies already in Legacy Leesburg. Revisions will include but not be limited to a revised map showing a reduced size of the Crescent Area and revisions to various policies in Legacy Leesburg that reference the CDMP and planning efforts surrounding the CDMP.

The CDMP will include the following topics:
• An introduction with discussion of the CDMP purpose, planning process, history, current issues, emerging trends, and planning context;
• A discussion of the CDMP planning objectives including the vision, goals, guiding principles, organizational framework, and opportunities and constraints; 
• Updated transportation policy including discussion of future streets and blocks, street design recommendations, pedestrian infrastructure, parking, and transit;
• New CDMP place types with supplemental land use guidance including “Activity Center”, “Commercial Corridor”, and “Mixed Density Residential”;
• Implementation policies that address zoning recommendations, streetscape recommendations, financing recommendations, architectural guidelines, site design guidelines, and building retrofit guidelines.

Additional information about these proposed Town Plan amendments and copies are available at the Department of Community Development located at 222 Catoctin Circle, Suite 200, Leesburg, Virginia 20175 during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), or by visiting the Town website: http://www.leesburgva.gov/crescentdistrict, or by calling Richard Klusek, Land Use Manager, at 703-771-2758 or by emailing rklusek@leesburgva.gov.  This Town Plan Amendment is identified as case number TLTPAM2024-0002, “Crescent District Master Plan Update”.
