‘Greater Scott’s Addition,’ north-of-Fan zoning changes on planning agenda
The Richmond Planning Commission meets at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Full agenda here.
Business on the regular agenda includes votes on the proposed zoning changes for the “Greater Scott’s Addition” area and properties along the Pulse corridor generally north of Broad Street from the Fan District.
Consent agenda items include Thalhimer Realty Partners’ request to rezone 2.2 acres at 423 Hull St. to TOD-1 Transit-Oriented Nodal District, which allows building heights up to 12 stories compared to five stories allowed by the current B-5 Central Business District zoning.
Also on the consent agenda, BAIS Properties LLC seeks to rezone three properties totaling 0.63 of an acre at 2116 and 2126 E. Main St. and 16 N. 22nd St. from industrial use to B-5. The Shockoe Bottom properties include the building that houses Honey Whytes restaurant and the Poythress Apartments building.
Infrastructure items for GreenCity project on Henrico agenda
Henrico supervisors meet Tuesday. Full agenda here.
Business on the 7 p.m. regular meeting agenda includes two infrastructure items related to the planned GreenCity development. One is a request for federal grant funds to cover up to 80 percent of a $24 million project to extend Magellan Parkway. The extension would bisect the project and run across Interstate 95 via a new bridge to connect with Brook Road.
The board also plans to set a public hearing Aug. 10 on a plan to abandon unused right-of-way on the GreenCity site, the county-owned portion of which includes the former Best Products headquarters at the northeast quadrant of I-95 and Parham Road. The Henrico Economic Development Authority has entered into an agreement to sell the 92-acre site to developer GreenCity LLC for $6.2 million.
Residential add-ons to developments to come before Chesterfield supervisors
The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet Wednesday. Full agenda here.
The Lake mixed-use development is expected to feature a 13-acre lake that would be used for recreational activities.
On tap for the board’s approval is a proposal by the Flatwater Cos. to add 400 housing units to The Lake, an already approved mixed-use development to be built on 105 acres near Clover Hill High School.
Another proposal for the board’s consideration is a request by StyleCraft Homes to build 210 townhomes at Westchester Commons, a nearly 800-acre shopping center at the intersection of Midlothian Turnpike and Route 288.
Most of the four-level townhomes at Westchester Commons would include rooftop patios.
Also on the board’s agenda is a resolution to allocate $5 million to the economic development authority to buy Southside Speedway, as well as a code amendment to move the southern limit of the Route 1 Residential Overlay Area from its current position north of Osborne Road to north of Route 288.
Mixed-use development outside Colonial Heights moves forward
The Chesterfield Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a proposed 19-acre mixed-use development just north of Colonial Heights last week.
Swift Creek Vistas LLC filed the rezoning and conditional use application tied to the project. It would include a four-story, approximately 51,000-square-foot building with 30 apartments and ground-floor retail space, as well as 95 townhomes.
The proposal now heads to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.
Chickahominy Falls expansion gets Hanover commissioners’ backing
The Hanover Planning Commission voted last week to recommend approval of the construction of another 48 townhomes at the Chickahominy Falls subdivision.
Should Hanover supervisors approve the request, the stage will be set for the townhomes to be built on the southwest corner of the Cedar Lane and Holly Hill Road intersection. With the expansion, the subdivision’s unit count would increase to 452 units.
