515 Meadowlands Drive - Rezoning — Church sanctuary expansion and renovation; electrical contractor office (existing tenant)
Grace Hill Church seeks to rezone 1.44 acres from High Intensity Commercial to Economic Development District to enable a 50% sanctuary expansion and bring the nonconforming church into compliance; the rezoning would also allow the existing electrical contractor tenant to remain compliant. The change reduces permitted uses from approximately 60 to 40 (eliminating some retail and restaurant options with outdoor displays), but staff recommended approval as compatible with the light industrial future land use designation and surrounding area uses.
715 US Hwy 70 East — Multi-family residential (67 townhome units)
Applicant seeks to rezone 715 US Highway 70 East from special use zoning (limited to MAHS or CCRC uses) to multi-family residential to construct 67 townhome units, a density reduction from the prior 200-300 unit assisted living plan. The development agreement includes requirements for pedestrian bridge repair or reconstruction, water/sewer timing restrictions, and an affordable housing payment-in-lieu obligation, though adjacent Corbinton Commons residents oppose the project and prefer a 55+ retirement community use.
71-9144 — Church/place of worship and building/trade contractor's office (mixed-use)
Grace Hill Church seeks to rezone 1.44 acres from High Intensity Commercial to Economic Development District to resolve a non-conforming use status and expand its operations within the same building at 515 Meadowlands Drive. The rezoning would also bring the co-occupant electrical contractor into full compliance while maintaining the property's long-established mixed commercial-institutional use pattern. Staff recommends approval as the requested EDD zoning is consistent with the Light Industrial future land use designation and the property's demonstrated use since 2010.
