About the Plan
The Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for the future growth and development of the county over the next 10 to 15 years. It provides direction and guidance, for both the public and private sectors, in making decisions about land development, public services and resource protection. This plan allows decision makers to study the long-term consequences of current decisions and recognize that today's actions will impact the county for many years to come.

Future Land Use is one component of the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Guide is a policy framework for future land use decisions within the County. Used in conjunction with the Future Land Use Map, this Guide serves as a reference for citizens on the most desirable locations for future land use activities throughout the County.
Future Land Use Designations should be used by Roanoke County citizens and property owners when evaluating alternative uses for their land and will be used by Roanoke County staff, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in the evaluation of requested land use amendments.
Future Land Use Designations
The following designations are used to identify areas around the county where certain activities occur or are anticipated. The types of land uses that are desirable within each designation are also described. This section also includes land use determinants - factors that are used to evaluate requested changes to the Future Land Use Map.
