PREFACE

This volume contains the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Chesapeake, Virginia, adopted September 21, 1993, and effective October 21, 1993.

The zoning ordinance has been printed as submitted by the City and the original numbering system has been retained. Obvious misspellings and punctuation errors have been corrected without notation. Words or phrases added by the editor for purposes of clarification are enclosed in brackets.

Amendatory Legislation

A feature of this publication that is particularly useful is the table of amendments. Any amendatory legislation may be located therein by number and date of enactment, and the sections or subsections amended will be listed. In addition, the sources of any amendments to a section are listed in a parenthetical history note following the amended section. The absence of such a note indicates that the section derives unamended from the regulations as originally adopted.

Index

As part of the publication project, a comprehensive index was prepared. Each particular subject has been placed under several headings, some couched in lay phraseology and others in legal terminology. There are numerous cross references within the index which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

Another special feature of this volume is the supplemental service, by which the publication will be kept up to date periodically. Upon the final passage of amendments, they will be properly edited and the page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication with instructions for the manner of inserting the pages and deleting the obsolete pages. The instruction sheet for the most current supplement should be placed in the front of the volume, and it is recommended that deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference.

Acknowledgments

This publication was under the direct supervision of Linda Davis and Jody Wilson, of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida.
