Henrico board defers two rezoning requests, approves two provisional use permits
Summary
The board deferred conditional rezoning requests for two single‑family residential proposals and approved two provisional use permits: one to make a COVID‑era restaurant patio permanent and another to allow a small massage trade school in an office park.
Henrico County’s Board of Supervisors on June 10 deferred two rezoning cases at the applicants’ requests, handled a withdrawal, and approved two provisional use permits (PUPs) for smaller commercial uses.
What the board did - Deferred: REZ2024102145 (Shell Brothers) — conditional rezoning for a proposed single‑family subdivision at the northeast intersection of Pouncey Track Road and Shady Grove Road was deferred at the applicant’s request to the July 22, 2025 meeting. The motion to defer was made by Supervisor Rountree and seconded by Supervisor Cooper. - Withdrawn: A Verona District case (Harsh Thacker / Dorado Capital, REZ 10325 / April filing) was formally withdrawn by the applicant; the county staff indicated no action was necessary for withdrawal. - Deferred: REZ2025100032 (Biju Manamana) — a conditional rezoning request at Staples Mill and Courtney Road was deferred to the August 12, 2025 meeting at the applicant’s request (motion recorded on the agenda as made by the chair and seconded by Supervisor Rogich). - Approved PUP: PUP‑2025‑100508 (Nader Hageez) — the board approved a provisional use permit to retain and make permanent an outdoor dining patio at a restaurant in the Tuckahoe Shopping Center, subject to the recommended staff conditions, after staff noted a recommended additional bollard for safety. Motion carried (moved by Supervisor Rogish, seconded by Miss Rountree). - Approved PUP: PUP‑2025‑100585 (Andrew Ellsbury) — the board approved a PUP to allow the H and S School of Massage to operate in an approximately 1,600‑square‑foot tenant space at 2727 Enterprise Parkway in an O‑2 district, subject to conditions limiting hours, appointment‑only public services and confinement to the identified tenant space (motion by Supervisor Rogish; seconded by Miss Rountree).
Public comment and staff notes - A resident near the Pouncey Track/Shady Grove area voiced traffic and cumulative development concerns; board members and staff advised the resident that the Shell Brothers case was deferred and invited her to the July 22 hearing and offered planning staff contact information. - For the restaurant patio case, staff noted the patio’s proximity to North Ridge Road, existing angled parking and that the Department of Public Works recommended an additional bollard to protect the southwestern corner of the patio. - For the massage school PUP, staff explained the use will follow State Council for Higher Education in Virginia requirements and that recommended conditions (hours, appointment‑only service, and limit to the tenant space) were intended to mitigate impacts in an office area.
Why it matters - The deferrals give applicants additional time to address planning and community concerns; the PUP approvals show the board applying existing PUP criteria to allow non‑office uses in office zones under conditions.
Actions recorded - REZ2024102145 deferred to July 22, 2025 (motion carried). - REZ2025100032 deferred to August 12, 2025 (motion carried). - Harsh Thacker / Dorado Capital case withdrawn (no board action required). - PUP 2025‑100508 approved (restaurant patio) with staff conditions including an added bollard. - PUP 2025‑100585 approved (massage school) with conditions limiting hours, requiring appointments for training services offered to the public, and confinement to the tenant space.
The board instructed staff to continue outreach and to process the deferred cases on their new hearing dates.
