Board approves rezoning on Duncan Road so homeowners can add a bathroom
Summary
Planning staff and the applicant told the board the rezoning of two parcels on Duncan Road from A‑2 to R‑1 will allow a homeowners' addition (a bathroom) that cannot meet A‑2 side setbacks; the Planning Commission recommended approval and the board voted unanimously to rezone the property.
Planning staff (Mark) explained that the applicants, identified in the staff report as Mr. and Mrs. Terry, requested rezoning two parcels on Duncan Road from Agricultural General (A‑2) to Residential Limited (R‑1) so they could add an addition to their home. Staff said the A‑2 side‑setback of 35 feet prevents the proposed addition while R‑1's 15‑foot side setback would accommodate it, and noted surrounding properties include R‑1 zoning and similar lot sizes.
One of the applicants said simply, "We would really appreciate the rezoning. We want to add a bathroom to our residence." The board opened and closed the public hearing with no registered speakers and approved the rezoning on a roll‑call vote after a staff recommendation and a motion that referenced Virginia Code §15.2‑2286(a)(7) supporting public necessity and good zoning practice.
