THIS MODEL CHARTER WAS ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO GIVE ALL VIRGINIA CITIES THE SAM~ RIGHTS AND POWERS. THE LAW EXPRESSLY PERMITS A CITY TO PRESERVE ITS OWN CHARTER AND STILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MODEL CHARTER SECTIONS BY ADDING SUCH SECTIONS TO ITS PRESENT CHARTER.

THE CHARTER SECTION 14A REQUIRING A REFERENDUM ON HOUSING PERMITS SUCH A REFERENDUM ON PETITION OF ONLY 100 QUALIFIED VOTERS.
