The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors approved rezoning case R-25-010 on Tuesday, rezoning 35.6 acres on Markham Road (State Road 686) in the Banister magisterial district to a single A-1 agricultural zoning classification.
Planning staff summarized the request and noted the Pittsylvania County Planning Commission recommended approval on April 1 by a 6-0 vote. Mike Folz, representing HGS LLC and John Geyer, told the board the petitioner intends to place a conservation easement on the property after rezoning.
After opening and closing the public hearing with no speakers, Supervisor Dudley moved to approve the rezoning; Supervisor Bowman seconded. The motion passed without recorded opposition.
What this means: Once rezoned to A-1, uses listed under the county’s A-1 agricultural section will be permitted on the property. The petitioner’s stated intention to place a conservation easement was noted on the record as part of the representation to the board.
