Planning department presents 2024 year‑end data: rezonings, family divisions and new construction by district
Summary
Planning staff presented a 2024 year‑end report summarizing rezonings (including three West Petersburg cases), seven family divisions, adoption of an Emerging Technologies District, code‑compliance figures, business licenses and new construction broken down by district (District 4 accounted for about 30% of county new construction).
Hayley Keane of the Dinwiddie County Planning Department presented the department’s 2024 year‑end data and interactive maps to the Planning Commission, summarizing rezonings, family divisions, text amendments and new‑construction statistics by commission district.
Keane divided the presentation into four chapters and said attendees could later view interactive maps to examine the data geographically. She showed a map of rezonings and conditional use permits and identified three rezoning cases in West Petersburg and a Dollar General on Clay Street Road among the 2024 approvals. Keane said the department recorded seven family divisions in 2024 but did not review each individually during the presentation.
The presentation included statistics on last year’s text amendments, noting that the Emerging Technologies District was adopted in December 2024. Keane also displayed counts for addresses assigned and business licenses issued, and mentioned code compliance statistics for the year. For new construction, Keane presented countywide totals broken down by planning district: she stated District 4 accounted for roughly 30% of new construction, District 1’s new construction was about 87% stick‑built residential with three manufactured homes, District 2 had primarily stick‑built residential and one commercial project, and District 5 was similarly dominated by stick‑built residential with one commercial project.
Commissioners asked whether the district maps and data could be used to inform the next comprehensive plan update, and one commissioner suggested tracking development relative to lands identified for future growth to measure whether growth targets are being met. Keane said the maps and interactive datasets could be used for those purposes.
No formal action was taken; the item was presented as new business after the agenda amendment approved earlier in the meeting.
