Hanover supervisors approve several development items: Route 1 rezoning, Stony Run permit and Stags Leap expansion
Summary
The Board approved multiple planning items: rezoning roughly 22.5 acres along Route 1 to B‑3 with Sheetz/Valvoline design proffers and traffic improvements, a conditional use permit for a 3‑story, 100,000‑sq‑ft self‑storage in Stony Run Commons, and a mixed‑use rezoning at Stags Leap tying 13 age‑restricted homes to commercial build‑out through a phasing proffer.
Hanover supervisors voted to approve a set of land‑use actions that the county said will guide development along major corridors and implement specific design and transportation proffers.
The Board rezoned about 22.5 acres at the intersection of US Route 1 and King's Acres Road to B‑3 (highway commercial) with conditions that include a proffered 50‑foot landscape buffer, design guidelines for Sheetz and Valvoline elevations, and traffic improvements—including a no‑left‑out movement and VDOT‑coordinated signal optimization. Staff said the applicant proffered additional landscaping, lighting controls and a traffic‑study recheck if daily trips exceed an 18,940 threshold.
Separately, the Board approved a conditional use permit for a three‑story, roughly 100,000 sq. ft. self‑storage facility in the Stony Run Commons development (limited to 750 internal‑access units and subject to nine staff conditions regarding screening, hours and monument‑style signage).
In the Route 301 / Stags Leap area, the Board approved a rezoning to add roughly 20,000 sq. ft. of neighborhood commercial space and 13 age‑restricted single‑family attached homes. The developer proffered a phasing plan that requires concurrent submittal of commercial and residential site plans and conditions tying issuance of residential building permits to commercial pad permitting and certificate‑of‑occupancy milestones, along with traffic improvements and a per‑unit cash proffer to support the transportation network.
Planning staff noted the Planning Commission recommended approval of these items and that the applications include architectural and buffering proffers intended to protect nearby residential neighborhoods.
