Board approves public-use overlay for Mount Sydney Ruritan Club to build community center
Summary
The board approved a public-use overlay on approximately 3.88 acres owned by the Mount Sydney Ruritan Club in the North River District, clearing the way for a community center and active/passive recreation facilities after a public hearing with no speakers.
The Augusta County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning request on Oct. 23 to add a public-use overlay to about 3.88 acres owned by the Mount Sydney Ruritan Club, allowing construction of a community center and active and passive recreational facilities.
Planning staff presented maps showing the property’s current Single Family Residential-15 zoning and its planned future public-use designation within the urban service area. The planning commission recommended approval, and the board opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke in favor or opposition. A supervisor moved to approve the overlay and the board approved the request 7–0.
The board member who moved the approval cited the project as a positive community investment for the North River District and noted the local IDA’s support. Staff will proceed with permitting and final plan steps consistent with the county’s land-use and development review requirements.
Next steps: staff to process necessary permits and coordinate with the Mount Sydney Ruritan Club and stakeholders on site plans and construction timing.
