Board approves small residential rezoning on Goldmine Road (ZMP-25-05)
Loading...
Summary
The board unanimously approved a request by Kevin Wright to rezone about 7 acres on Goldmine Road from A-1 to R-1, allowing two roughly two-acre residential lots; the planning commission had recommended approval and the applicant said the homes would likely serve family members or be sold.
At its Feb. 20 meeting, the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve ZMP-25-05, rezoning approximately 7 acres of Tax Map 50-A-129 from A-1 agricultural to R-1 residential limited.
Planner Jason Overstreet presented the application and noted the parcel is in the rural residential planning area and has public water available. He told the board the planning commission recommended approval 5-0. Applicant Kevin Wright said he intended to create two roughly two-acre lots to build modest single-family homes (about 1,000 square feet) that might be used by family members or sold.
Board discussion centered on lot configuration and whether a variance route would have been viable; staff explained that a variance could allow one additional lot but would not likely yield the desired road-fronting configuration. The board considered comprehensive-plan compatibility, water availability, and nearby R-1 zoning. With no public opposition at the hearing, the motion to approve carried unanimously.
Outcome and next steps: The rezoning was approved and the applicant may proceed with required subdivision steps and permitting. Any future site-specific conditions and building approvals will be handled through the county's normal permitting process.
