Council approves rezoning for Oakley Avenue subdivision to allow single‑family lots
Summary
The council approved rezoning about 11.28 acres on Oakley Avenue from R‑3 to R‑2 to enable a lower‑density single‑family subdivision; the developer showed a conceptual plan of roughly 38 lots and described stormwater and utility tie‑ins.
The Appomattox Town Council approved a rezoning request for about 11.28 acres on Oakley Avenue, changing the parcel from R‑3 to R‑2 to permit a single‑family subdivision.
Michael Bryant, representing Heart and Profit for developer J. E. Jamieson, told the council the concept shows roughly 38 lots using the town’s minimum lot standards but that final lot counts will likely be lower. "What we are proposing to do is rezone approximately 11.28 acres from an R‑3 to an R‑2 to allow for a single family development," Bryant said, adding that the developer intends to design stormwater controls on site and tie into existing water and sanitary sewer lines.
Council members asked about lot depths, proximity to Richmond Highway, road geometry and whether the rezoning would create a spot zone; staff and the applicant said the development is consistent with surrounding single‑family uses and that the planning commission had previously recommended approval.
After questions and discussion, a council member moved to approve the submitted rezoning plan and the council approved the motion by voice vote.
The rezoning clears a key regulatory step for the applicant to prepare final plans and utility connections; the applicant and town staff said further engineering and permitting steps remain.
