Surry County approves rezoning for PQA Healthcare site in Mount Airy
Summary
The Surry County Board of Commissioners approved rezoning petition ZCR #1274 to reclassify a 1.645-acre Mount Airy parcel from Residential Limited to Highway Business for a proposed PQA Healthcare facility, following a Planning Board recommendation and a brief public hearing.
The Surry County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 16 to approve rezoning petition ZCR #1274, allowing PQA Healthcare, LLC, to convert a 1.645-acre parcel in Mount Airy from Residential Limited to Highway Business.
Development Services Director Adrienne Gardner presented the petition for Tax Parcels 5929-14-44-9912 and 5929-15-54-1922 (1520 Edgewood Drive and 1604 Park Drive), telling the board the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval. Chairman Bill Goins opened a public hearing; Khalil Nassar, chief executive officer of PQA Healthcare LLC, spoke in favor.
The board voted to approve the rezoning, saying the change is consistent with the county Land Use Plan and with surrounding zoning and uses. The motion was made by Commissioner Melissa Hiatt and seconded by Commissioner Mark Marion.
The approval clears a zoning hurdle for the proposed healthcare use at the two addresses in Mount Airy; the board’s findings note compatibility with the Land Use Plan and surrounding properties. No conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board did not provide a roll-call tally in the minutes; the action was recorded as an affirmative board vote to approve ZCR #1274. The matter was presented by Adrienne Gardner and publicly supported by Khalil Nassar; no speakers opposed the petition at the hearing.
Next steps for the project would depend on any required site plan reviews or permits by Development Services, which were not detailed during the meeting.
