Board approves two rezoning requests, including LRA/airport overlay near Fort Pickett
Summary
Supervisors unanimously approved a rezoning for property on Cox Road from general business to rural residential and approved an LRA parcel rezoning (approx. 65.6 acres) to protect airport overlay and future development near Fort Pickett.
The board approved two separate rezoning requests after staff presentations and planning commission recommendations. The first rezoning (Cox Road, tax map 43‑42) — requested by property owners to convert a former veterinary office parcel to rural residential — was approved following staff explanation and a 10‑0 planning commission recommendation.
The board also approved a larger rezoning for LRA/Pickett Park property near the Fort Pickett gate (approximately 65.6 acres) to place an airport development overlay and protect future aviation uses. Planning staff noted wetlands and the presence of a rail spur; the board approved the rezoning after a planning commission recommendation and closed public hearings. No appeals or litigation were reported.
