The Town of Vinton has a comprehensive
ordinance governing the planning and zoning activities throughout
the corporate limits. This Department reviews and approves all
documents related to development of lands within the Town. Anyone
constructing, demolishing, adding, or otherwise structurally altering
any building must first obtain appropriate permits from the Vinton
Planning and Zoning Department, located at 311 S. Pollard Street
in Downtown Vinton. Roanoke
County building inspectors will review all construction work
to make sure it complies with applicable building codes.
The Planning and Zoning Department processes petitions for variances, rezonings, special uses, and street or alley closures. Variances from the zoning ordinance must be approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Changes in zoning and requests for special use permits must be approved by the Town Council, after recommendation by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals hold public hearings and/or work sessions on an as-needed basis, with notice of such meetings appearing prior to the meeting in The Vinton Messenger and on Government Access Cable Channel 3. The Planning and Zoning Department also oversees the stormwater management program and Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permitting by the State of Virginia for the Town of Vinton. Please click here to visit the stormwater management program and the VPDES permit informational web page. The Planning and Zoning Department is responsible for zoning enforcement related to such items as weeds, litter, inoperative vehicles, and commercial vehicles in residential areas. After investigation by this Department, the owner of the property is notified by mail to clean up the yard and/or to remove the inoperative or commercial vehicles within a specified time limit.
