Purpose of the Development Review Committee
The purpose of the Warren County Development Review Committee is to offer a venue whereby staff members from various County, Town, and State departments can discuss development applications and permitting issues of mutual interest that may affect the County and/or Town in an effort to foster better communications between the departments and streamline the process for the public when obtaining permits. The Committee will include representation from the Warren County Building Inspections Department, Warren County Planning Department, Front Royal Planning Department, Front Royal Public Works Department, Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Health, Rappahannock Electric Company, and the Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority. The Committee is not designed to be an environment where decisions are made, but one where projects are discussed for awareness of procedures and issues between the departments and agencies.
Goals for the Development Review Committee
- Foster better communication between the various departments and agencies to simplify and streamline the permitting process for the public
- Discuss commercial and industrial projects that are proposed or ongoing within the Town and /or County to familiarize the Committee with the projects and determine any issues that may arise through the process
- Once established, allow a venue for applicants to ask about a project and familiarize themselves with the permitting process
