Board approves townhouse redevelopment at 13000 Sport & Health Drive
Summary
The board unanimously approved a rezoning for a townhouse rental community at 13000 Sport & Health Drive — 80 units, 10% ADUs — following staff recommendation and proffers including stormwater controls, enhanced open space and parking above ordinance requirements.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezoning for 13000 Sport & Health Drive on Sept. 9, authorizing a townhouse rental community with 80 units and commitments intended to address local traffic and drainage concerns.
Applicant counsel presented a revised plan that reduced density after community feedback and reoriented townhouses to limit rear‑yard impacts on existing neighbors. The project includes 80 units (10% set aside as affordable dwelling units at the proffered AMI), generous on‑site parking, and a modern stormwater management design. The applicant highlighted off‑site plantings and a layered noise buffer along I‑95, while county staff said the application met comprehensive‑plan targets and exceeded open‑space and tree‑cover standards.
"This plan has also changed in relation to in reaction to community comments," the applicant said, describing rotated townhouse blocks, additional buffering and a plan to limit cut‑and‑fill. Staff recommended the rezoning, citing consistency with RN‑4/P MR goals for residential‑neighborhood infill. Supervisors noted the project is intended to provide rental product and transit‑oriented options close to VRE.
The board’s unanimous vote approved the zoning change subject to proffers and will move the project to site‑plan review, where the county will require detailed stormwater, transportation and construction mitigation plans.
