Cape Charles, Va. — The Cape Charles Planning Commission has announced a public hearing to gather community input on proposed updates to the town’s historic district regulations.
The hearing will take place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cape Charles Civic Center, located at 500 Tazewell Avenue.
At the center of the discussion is Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 2026-02, an application submitted by the Town of Cape Charles. The proposal seeks to amend Town Code Chapter 32, Article VIII, which governs the Historic District Overlay, and to introduce a new Appendix G to the Historic District Overlay Design Guidelines.
Town officials say the changes are intended to refine and expand guidance for development and preservation within Cape Charles’ historic areas. The full application and supporting documents are available for public review on the town’s official website under Agendas and Minutes > Upcoming Meetings.
Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the hearing and share their perspectives. Those with questions or in need of additional information can contact Zoning Administrator Katie Nunez by phone at (757) 331-2036 or via email at planner@capecharles.org.
The town also noted that individuals requiring special assistance to attend should reach out at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting.
