Henrico board approves Main Street Homes rezoning, provisional car-wash permit and conservation rezoning; one rezoning deferred
Summary
Supervisors approved REZ255-25 for 14 single-family homes, a provisional use permit for a Patterson Avenue car wash, and a conservation rezoning for floodplain protection; REZ249-25 was deferred to March 10 for further drainage and soils analysis.
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 27 approved multiple land-use items and deferred one application pending additional technical work.
The board approved REZ255-25 (Main Street Homes of Virginia) to rezone 7.25 acres at Church Road and Covey Run Drive to R‑3AC for up to 14 single-family homes. Planner Emerson told the board the applicant reduced the proposed unit count from 18 to 14 after two community meetings and added proffers including an 85-foot lot width minimum for some lots, a 10-foot buffer on the western side and a transfer of the existing BMP (best management practice) ownership to the Covey Run homeowners association. Supervisor Rogues moved to follow the Planning Commission recommendation and the board approved the rezoning by voice vote.
The board also approved a provisional use permit (PUP) for a car wash (Canyon Wash LLC) at Patterson Avenue and Quail Lane in a B‑2C zone. Staff and the planning commission recommended approval with 14 conditions; board discussion focused on hours of operation and neighborhood impacts before the board passed the PUP on a motion.
Separately, the board approved a conditional rezoning to rezone a 1-acre floodplain parcel to C‑1 conservation (East West Communities) to comply with a prior proffer; staff and the planning commission recommended approval. REZ249-25 (Elder Homes Corporation) was deferred at the applicant's request to the March 10 meeting to allow additional drainage work and soils analysis.
What’s next: Approved rezoning and PUP items will proceed through plan of development and proffer compliance; the deferred case (Elder Homes) will return March 10 with updated submissions.
