Board denies Windswept Development conditional rezoning RZN26-02 after public opposition
Summary
After a public hearing with two residents opposing the request, the Amelia County Board denied a conditional rezoning request (RR-3 to R-1) submitted by Windswept Development, LLC; the motion to deny passed with three votes in favor, one opposed and one abstention.
Austin Mitchell presented the staff report on conditional rezoning request RZN26-02, a proposal to rezone property from RR-3 to R-1. The Board opened a public hearing; two residents spoke against the request. Brady Deal of Main Street Homes addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant and asked the Board to approve the request subject to the proffer conditions outlined in the staff report.
Supervisor Dexter Jones moved to deny the conditional rezoning based on the property's location, the nature and extent of the proposed use, and potential adverse effects. The motion carried: Chairman David M. Felts and Supervisors Jones and Benjamin Morris voted to deny; Supervisor H. Joseph Easter, IV opposed; Supervisor Todd Robinson abstained. No subsequent motion to approve was passed.
Why it matters: the denial preserves the property's existing RR-3 zoning and rejects the developer's requested change to R-1 at this time; neighbors raised concerns during the public hearing that influenced the Board's decision.
What's next: the developer may revise the application or pursue other options consistent with the county's zoning regulations; staff will record and file the Board's action.
