Commissioners say Valley Commerce Center rezoning could affect Purcellville
Summary
Commissioners raised concerns after the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 6–3 to approve rezoning for the Valley Commerce Center just outside town limits, saying the large project will have direct impacts on Purcellville and warrants commission attention.
Several commissioners told the June 4 meeting they are watching the Valley Commerce Center rezoning across Loudoun County, which they said will have direct implications for Purcellville. The presiding member summarized the county vote and said the project’s size and proximity will require work by the commission over the coming year to address related land‑use and infrastructure questions.
Commissioner Bertoia said he spoke in opposition to the rezoning at county hearings and echoed concerns expressed by the county’s own planning staff, saying the proposed uses do not align with the joint land management area or the town’s comprehensive plan. "On Wednesday night, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 6 to 3 to approve the rezoning for the Valley Commerce Center," the presiding member said. Bertoia added that the commission should expect related items to come before it in future meetings.
