Commission backs rezoning of Brunswick Avenue parcels for single‑family development
Summary
The commission voted 6–0 to forward PD‑24‑9 (25613 Brunswick Avenue) to the Board of Supervisors for rezoning from R‑1 to RU; staff said water/sewer are available and VDOT driveway approval will be required.
The Dinwiddie County Planning Commission recommended approval on August 14 for PD‑24‑9, a rezoning request for property at 25613 Brunswick Avenue consisting of two parcels. The commission’s 6–0 roll‑call vote forwards the matter to the Board of Supervisors for final action.
County staff summarized the request and told commissioners the parcels are proposed to be rezoned from Residential Limited (R‑1) to Residential Urban (RU) to allow single‑family residential development. Staff noted public water and sewer are available and said any new driveway location would require VDOT approval; connection fees for water and sewer would apply. "Staff is recommending approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property," Mr. Bassett said.
Applicant John Niswonger, who identified himself as owner of Niswonger Properties and a Class A residential builder, told commissioners he appreciated staff assistance and is pursuing new construction in addition to rehabilitation work. There were no public speakers. A motion to recommend PD‑24‑9 was made, seconded and approved by roll call 6–0.
The recommendation will be considered by the Board of Supervisors; staff and applicants will receive formal notice of the Board hearing date.
