Board approves several rezonings and proffer amendments, including a Cold Harbor boundary adjustment
Summary
Supervisors approved multiple rezoning requests and proffer amendments to accommodate boundary adjustments and shared access easements; managers emphasized proffers and conditions to preserve tree buffers and restrict future divisions without additional approvals.
The Hanover County Board approved several rezoning requests and proffer amendments intended to facilitate boundary adjustments and correct access alignments without creating new lots.
Staff described a Cold Harbor District rezoning that would change a 10‑acre parcel from A‑1 to AR‑6 to facilitate a later boundary line adjustment, leaving the existing house on about 3 acres and attaching just under 7 acres to an adjacent parcel; staff emphasized the proffers and conditions that prevent further division without a future zoning amendment. Separately, a proffer amendment for property along Ashland Road in the South Anna District would relocate a previously proffered 50‑foot shared access easement so Lot 1 and Lot 3 can share a new entrance adjacent to a transmission easement, avoiding wetlands. Planning Commission recommendations were unanimous on these items and the board approved the measures by voice vote.
Board members sought and received clarifications about timing for the boundary adjustment (estate planning, not immediate) and assurances that proffers and conditions will remain in place to protect tree preservation and access patterns.
