Goochland Planning Commission unanimously defers three land-use requests to Feb. 20
Summary
The Goochland County Planning Commission approved the Dec. 19 minutes and voted 5-0 to defer an access-road exception and two conditional-use permit amendment requests to the Feb. 20, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, following staff recommendations to allow more review time.
The Goochland County Planning Commission on Jan. 16 approved its Dec. 19, 2024 minutes and unanimously deferred three land-use applications to the Feb. 20, 2025 Planning Commission meeting.
The first item staff presented was SOE 2024-2024-2, an application by Trek Properties LLC seeking an exception under the subdivision ordinance to add a new access drive onto River Road West for tax map parcel 4242020. Staff told the commission the parcel is zoned Residential General (R-3) and Agricultural Limited (A-2), and recommended deferring the public hearing to allow time for additional review. A commissioner moved to defer; the motion passed on a 5-0 vote.
Commissioners then considered District 3’s conditional use amendment, CU 202424, filed by Strickland MFG LLC to amend a conceptual plan and add a building at 1090 Merchants Lane on about 4.03 acres in an industrial zoning district. Staff recommended deferral to the Feb. 20 meeting; after a motion and second the commission voted 5-0 to defer.
A third item, CU 202422, was an application from Columbia Gas Transmission LLC to amend an existing conditional use permit to add a new office building on approximately 29.6 acres at 1436 Hermitage Road in Districts 4 and 5. Staff described the parcel as Agriculture Limited (A-2) with the county comprehensive plan designating it as a rural enhancement area. Again, staff recommended deferral; the commission voted 5-0 to move the public hearing to the Feb. 20 meeting.
Procedural business at the start of the meeting included a motion to approve the Dec. 19, 2024 minutes; the motion carried on a roll call recorded as five "Aye" votes.
No citizen comments were offered during the public comment period.
What happens next: Each deferred application remains scheduled for the Feb. 20, 2025 Planning Commission meeting for a public hearing unless applicants withdraw or staff revise their recommendations.
