Board rezones 67 acres near Fort Pickett to Airport District overlay to protect airport
Summary
The Board approved rezoning roughly 67 acres at Military Road and Darvills Road from Light Industrial to an Airport District overlay to prevent incompatible development near Fort Pickett; the Planning Commission recommended approval 10-0.
County planning staff presented a rezoning request for about 67 acres at the southeast corner of Military Road and Darvills Road near Fort Pickett's main gate, proposing a change from Light Industrial to an Airport District overlay to protect the airport from incompatible land uses. The planner noted the property includes water features, wetlands and a rail spur, and the Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously, 10-0.
With no public comment, the Board approved the rezoning on a voice vote. Vice Chairman George G. Toth III moved to open and then close the public hearing given no speakers; Supervisor Daphne V. Norton moved to approve and the Board carried the motion. The overlay aims to limit future uses that could pose hazards or conflicts with airport operations.
