Multi-use developments in Midlothian, Chester on docket
The Chesterfield Planning Commission is scheduled to meet Thursday. Full agenda here.
Commissioners are expected to vote on whether to recommend approval of Atlanta-based developer SJC Ventures’s proposal to build a $175 million development with a grocery store and 350 apartments at the corner of Midlothian Turnpike and Alverser Drive.
Bellwood Commons LLC seeks a rezoning to allow construction of a mixed-use development that would consist of commercial space as well as 658 residential units on the site of Bellwood Flea Market. The project site consists of about 40 acres at Route 1 and Willis Road near Chester.
Douglas and Susan Sowers and Otterdale LLC want a rezoning in order to build a 394-lot single-family home development, which would be located on 164 acres and south of the Newmarket Village subdivision.
The commission will vote on whether to recommend the proposals and pass that recommendation onto the Board of Supervisors, which would provide a final decision at a future meeting.
Chesterfield considers Emerson development, private school
The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet Wednesday. Full agenda here.
Supervisors are expected to vote on whether to approve a request by Emerson Ventures to build a 50-unit townhome development at 16321 Hull Street Road, which is near Cosby High School. The development would rise on about 10 acres.
Also on tap is a request by Second Branch Baptist Church for a conditional-use permit to continue to operate an existing tutoring program at 12217 Second Branch Road.
The original 2020 permit allows a maximum of 150 students on site at a given time. The church seeks to continue the program initially expected to be a temporary pandemic measure because it has seen sustained demand, according to a staff report. The requested new permit would maintain the student cap but expand the days of operation.

Consent agenda items includes a special-use request for a planned conversion of The Shenandoah building at 501 N. Allen Ave. into a 75-room hotel with a restaurant and bar.
Also on the agenda is a request to amend the Stratford Hills Community Unit Plan. The amendment would increase the plan area by 2.85 acres to 67.4 acres to accommodate Harper Associates’ plan to develop a Chipotle restaurant and 6,500-square-foot retail outparcel and up to 36 townhomes on the east side of the site.
