Stephens City, Va. — The Stephens City Town Council voted March 6 to approve a zoning variance requested by Pennoni Associates after the town’s Planning Commission recommended the change.
Town Manager Michael Majher reported that the Planning Commission reviewed the request in February and recommended Council accept the variance. David Frank of Pennoni Associates addressed the council and expressed appreciation for staff and the Planning Commission’s assistance. Councilman Linden A. Fravel Jr. moved to accept the variance, and the motion carried with recorded aye votes from Fravel, Regina Swygert‑Smith and Kelly Thatcher.
