Board approves rezoning for BJ's Hauling and a small home‑based fabrication CUP; neighbors raised access and environmental concerns
Summary
The board approved rezoning for BJ's Hauling LLC to allow a truck‑hauling operation with proffers to address driveway access and buffering, and granted a conditional use permit for a 900‑sq‑ft home fabrication shop on Pleasant Hill Lane with conditions limiting hours, outdoor storage and on‑site sales.
In two shorter land‑use decisions, the Goochland Board approved a rezoning and a home‑based business permit after staff presentations and limited public comment.
Rezoning for BJ's Hauling LLC (approximately 2.16 acres from Agricultural Limited to Industrial General) carried conditions proffering a 30‑foot landscaping buffer, screening for outdoor storage and a straightened access to address sight‑distance issues on Triple Tree Lane. Staff said a neighboring access concern had been resolved by a private agreement to provide an alternate driveway; the board approved the rezoning by roll call.
Separately, the board granted a conditional use permit for a home‑based fabrication business operated in a 900‑square‑foot detached garage on a ~17‑acre property off Pleasant Hill Lane. Planning staff and the applicant said the use would be limited to indoor fabrication, Monday–Saturday 8 a.m.–8 p.m., with no on‑site sales or outdoor storage and a five‑year permit expiration. Neighbors raised groundwater and creek‑runoff concerns and cautioned against industrial uses on private gravel roads; staff noted the proposed building sits in a flat area and parcel access avoids the private bridge crossing the creek.
Both approvals include conditions and plan‑of‑development or monitoring requirements; county staff stated they will monitor compliance and the board recorded roll calls for both items.
