New coronavirus relief program aimed at small businesses in Chesterfield

Eligible businesses must include the owner of the business among its headcount. The owner’s household income must be below 80 percent of the area median income. For more information, visit virginialisc.org/chesterfield-county-faq/.
Chesterfield weighs changes to Route 1 development rules, new residential developments
The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors will hold its next meeting on Wednesday. Full agenda here.
The board will weigh whether to adopt a proposed change to the Route 1 Residential Overlay and Northern Jefferson Davis Highway Design District Development Standards. In general, the proposed amendment to the county code would permit multifamily units to be located up to 800 feet from Jefferson Davis Highway as part of developments along the frontage of the road north of Osborne Road.
The change would reduce required balconies from half of units to no less than 30 percent of units when other common space is present, alongside other changes. A public hearing will be held prior to the vote.
Also on the agenda are two rezoning requests tied to residential development projects: a 100-unit independent living development called The Crest at Salisbury Apartments, and a 113-lot subdivision north of Chesterbrook Farms and west of Womack Road.
The Crest would consist of a single building on about 4 acres at North Otterdale Road and Wylderose Drive. The subdivision, proposed by Emerson Cos., would be built on 45 acres, with minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet.
