1. Town Staff review. The Town’s Community Development Department has reviewed the applications and has determined that they are complete. There is a checklist of required submittals set forth in the Town ordinance that determines completeness and all the required materials have been submitted by the developer.

2. A traffic impact analysis has been conducted by the developer and will be reviewed by the Town’s traffic engineer.

3. Agency review. At this point in the process the Community Development Department will distribute the plan and application to the following agencies for review and comment: The Town of Purcellville Public Works Department; the Town of Purcellville consulting engineer; Virginia Department of Transportation; Loudoun County Department of Building and Development; Loudoun County Fire and Rescue; Loudoun County School Board; the Town planning staff. These agencies have 45 days to respond with comments to the Town. They will review the application for constancy with their policies and regulations. Once the Town has received the comments it will review the submission for consistency with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Once we get to a point where each staff comment has either been addressed or the applicant elects not to address it, the application is then forwarded to the Planning Commission for review.

4. Planning Commission review. Staff will prepare a report to the Planning Commission evaluating the application. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing. Virginia Code requires the public hearing to be advertised in a local newspaper and the ad must be placed at least once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to the hearing. The notice needs to include the time and place of meeting. The Virginia Code indicates the meeting cannot be less than five days or more than 21 days after the second advertisement. The advertisement goes in the Purcellville Gazette. Notice will also be posted on the Town of Purcellville website (www.purcellvilleva.gov ). State Statute also requires written notification of the public hearing be sent to all abutting landowners.

5. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission will provide the Town Council with a recommendation on approval or disapproval including any specific recommendations it feels are appropriate. The Planning Commission may take more than one meeting to review the application before it makes a decision. The Planning Commission meets on the first and third Thursday of every month.
