Staff recommends rezoning Lot 68E in Greensville County to allow four efficiency apartments
Summary
County planning staff recommended rezoning part of Lot 68E from single-family to multifamily zoning to allow about four efficiency rental units intended for elderly residents; staff said the proposal conforms to the comprehensive plan, but no final vote on the rezoning was recorded in the transcript.
Greensville County planning staff recommended that the county rezone a portion of Lot 68E, a roughly 2.83-acre property near Route 301 and an elementary school, from R1C (single-family residential) to R2A (multifamily) to permit a small rental building with about four efficiency units.
The recommendation came during a county meeting when staff described the owner’s application, the parcel’s location and size, and how the request aligns with the county’s future land use map and comprehensive plan. "After reviewing the application, I think it's a good project. Staff recommends approval of a project, because it conforms to the comprehensive plans, goals, and strategies, and it's consistent with future land use plan," Speaker 2 said during the presentation.
Staff explained the proposed building would consist of "4 units, 1 big open room, you know, bathroom, kitchenette," and said the owner had indicated the units would be intended for elderly residents. Staff also noted a portion of the parcel is about 0.98 acres and that the owner may need to create a separate tax parcel. Prior rezoning attempts involving the property were mentioned, including a 2001 commercial rezoning denial and a 2006 matter related to a property sale.
Board members asked several procedural and technical questions. Staff said it had reviewed water and sewer considerations and that no new survey was presented at the meeting; the owner would need to address parcelization and tax-record changes. Members also raised access and safety concerns: staff described planned access from Slovers Lake Road and a second entrance from Route 301 and cautioned that creating an access point aligned with the elementary school entrance could pose problems and would require further review.
No formal vote on the rezoning is recorded in the meeting transcript provided. The staff recommendation and the board’s clarifying questions were the principal actions on the record at this meeting. The hearing or agenda item is expected to return for further procedural steps or a decision in a subsequent meeting, though no date or next step was specified in the transcript.
