Summary
Adds the Cities of Chesapeake and Portsmouth to those localities that may require payment by a subdivider or developer of land of a pro rata share of the cost of reasonable and necessary road improvements, located outside the property limits of the land owned or controlled by him but serving an area having related traffic needs to which his subdivision or development will contribute, to reimburse an initial subdivider or developer who has advanced such costs or constructed such road improvements. The City of Chesapeake appears to have been inadvertently dropped from this statute during a 2007 Code title revision.

What changed in the latest version
32 added · 36 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes made to SB 129 clarify the process for developers to advance payments for road improvements outside their property. The bill now explicitly allows local governing bodies to establish ordinances requiring subdividers or developers to cover a proportionate share of the costs for necessary road improvements that benefit their projects. This matters because it helps ensure that developers contribute to the infrastructure that will support their developments, potentially making communities safer and reducing traffic issues.
