Board approves rezoning to allow Central Virginia Christian School expansion
Loading...
Summary
The Buckingham County Board approved rezoning of two parcels from M‑1 (Light Industrial) to Village Center to allow Central Virginia Christian School to expand facilities and add high‑school grades, after a student and school representative spoke in support.
The Buckingham County Board of Supervisors voted to rezone two parcels to Village Center to accommodate an expansion by Central Virginia Christian School. The rezoning request (case 25ZMA362) changes tax map parcels 138‑15B and 138‑15A1 from M‑1 (Light Industrial) to Village Center, where private schools are a permitted use.
Kelsey Steinruck, a student at Central Virginia Christian School, described the planned construction of two buildings—a classroom building and a gym—and said the school is adding high‑school grades and increasing enrollment. "Village Center District is the only zoning area where private school are permitted use," she said, explaining why the change is needed.
The school is represented in the hearing by Kemper Beasley; no members of the public signed up in opposition. After a public hearing and staff presentation, the board moved, seconded, and approved the rezoning by voice vote.
The approval will allow the school to consolidate and expand operations on a consistent zoning designation with adjacent property. The board did not provide a financial analysis or timeline for construction in open session.
