419 Town Center

419 town center design guidelines

In July 2019, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors adopted the 419 Town Center Plan. Development of new design guidelines will provide further guidance on the design of both public and private investments and improvements in the study area. The design guidelines will help shape the built environment, meet community expectations, provide a vibrant public realm, and maintain a consistent character and high quality of design and aesthetic. 

We held a 419 Town Center Design Guidelines Open House Meeting on Thursday, March 10, 2022 at South County Library for citizens to review and provide comments on the proposed design guidelines, including: a framework plan, character districts, regional multi-modal connections, and street design. (WDBJ7: 419 Town Center leaders share update on plan and hear from community) The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors and Roanoke County Planning Commission held a 419 Town Center Design Guidelines Joint Work Session on Tuesday, May 10, 2022. 

On Tuesday, September 6, 2022 the Roanoke County Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing on a proposed amendment to the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment would amend the 419 Town Center Plan, which is a component of the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan, by incorporating the Roanoke County 419 Town Center Design Guidelines into the 419 Town Center Plan.

The 419 Town Center will redefine Roanoke County's largest retail destination as a vibrant, walkable community.

Across the U.S., auto-oriented commercial strips are rapidly changing into pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use town centers and main street settings. With its easy access, strong demographics, and several large property owners, the 419 Town Center is ideal for this kind of redevelopment.
