[Opinion #] 04‑093 [Requestor] The Honorable Bradley P. Marrs Member, House of Delegates [Summary] 
Landowner who has secured rezoning of properties for specific use before effective date of subsequent amendment to zoning ordinance and has pursued project committing and expending significant resources has obtained vested right; whether landowner incurs extensive obligations or substantial expenses is factual determination for county, subject to review by courts. Amendments to existing Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act zoning ordinance only affect landowner after amendments are adopted by local ordinance.
