Comprehensive Plan

The Comprehensive Plan is a community-driven document that sets the vision and goals for the future of Rockingham County over the next 20 years.

The Comprehensive Plan addresses topics such as land use, development, economic growth, transportation, historic and natural resources, and community facilities in the unincorporated areas of Rockingham County. The policies defined in the plan will guide the County’s future direction and priorities for growth, services, and land use regulation.

Through a collaborative effort between Rockingham County’s Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders the Plan was revised and subsequently adopted by the Board of Supervisors on July 10, 2024.

Conceptual land use maps can be found on page 158 through 165 of the Comprehensive Plan.

The adoption of the Stone Spring Urban Development Area (UDA) Plan is considered an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as it serves as an integral component and reviewed and updated during the normal course of the Comprehensive Plan’s lifecycle.
