Lucketts is in the Village Conservation Overlay District (VCOD) layer, which is a zoning overlay district of the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Ordinance) and identifies thirteen small villages and hamlets outside of the boundaries of Loudoun County’s incorporated towns and planned residential communities that contain unique, scenic and historic characteristics that should be maintained and protected. 

Purpose:

The VCOD is established to recognize the development patterns existing in traditional villages, considered to be valuable heritage resources, and to encourage the retention and reinforcement of the pattern, character and visual identity of the individual village. The data are used extensively for taxation, subdivision review, permitting, and planning. Although the feature class represents the VCOD, a determination should be requested from the Zoning Administrator to verify whether a particular property is located within the VCOD.

In Loudoun County, the Rural Policy Area (RPA), specifically the Rural-20 planning area, is designed for limited residential development and supports a robust rural economy. The RPA, which makes up nearly two-thirds of the county's land area, emphasizes the preservation of farmland, natural resources, open space, and vistas. It also includes Rural Historic Villages, planned for limited residential development while maintaining their unique character.
