Zoning requests for two subdivisions on Chesterfield board’s docket
Proposals to build residential projects in Chesterfield are up final zoning approval votes at the Wednesday meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
Midlothian-based TC Development LLC is seeking to rezone about 178 acres to allow construction of nearly 300 single-family homes. The project site is at 19000 Genito Road and 4000 Bailey Farm Road in western Chesterfield.
The Dogwood Creek project has been scaled down in density since its rezoning application was filed late last year. Originally, the project was envisioned as having more than 350 homes.
The Planning Commission and staff recommend county supervisors provide final approval for the request, which would change the land to residential (R-12) from the current agricultural (A) zoning. A conditional use permit is being sought to allow recreational facilities for the development.
The board will also consider for final zoning approval at this week’s meeting a proposal by Chesterfield-based Finer Homes, which is seeking zoning approval to build a 46-lot subdivision at 5009 Claypoint Road.
The project, dubbed Farnham Woods, would rise on a 15-acres site near Brandermill. Finer Homes is seeking to rezone the land to residential (R-12) from its current agricultural (A).
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the board give final approval to the Farnham Woods project.

The Hanover Board of Supervisors is scheduled this week to consider a rezoning request tied to a mixed-use development proposed in Mechanicsville.
Westhaven Properties LLC wants to build retail space and for-sale townhomes on a nearly 18-acre site made up of five parcels including 6233 Mechanicsville Turnpike.
The project would see the redevelopment and expansion of an existing building on the property to 18,000 square feet for restaurant, retail, office or microbrewery uses, according to a staff report. A new 6,250-square-foot retail strip would also be built on the property.
The project’s residential component would consist of 14 townhomes, which would be four-stories tall and have rooftop decks.
The applicant is seeking to rezone the property to community business (B-2) with conditions and single-family residential (RS) with conditions. Currently the land is zoned agricultural (A-1) and B-2.
Westhaven has also requested a special exception to allow it to build the townhomes taller than they would normally be allowed under the proposed new zoning.
Supervisors will make the final zoning decision on the project. The Hanover Planning Commission recommends approval subject to several revisions to the site plan and proffered conditions.
