The Dinwiddie County Planning Commission meeting on December 11, 2024, focused on several key issues, including the status of a proposed development project and discussions about residential property regulations.

One significant topic was the ongoing review of a development project along Route 226. A commission member confirmed that the project is still active, with most revisions already approved. The owner of the property involved is part of this project, and the first phase is nearing approval. This development has raised concerns among nearby residents, particularly one individual who lives in Las Vegas and is worried about how the project may impact his property.

Additionally, the discussion touched on the concept of accessory dwelling units, commonly referred to as "backyard houses." The member noted that while such arrangements are common in other areas, Dinwiddie County currently lacks specific ordinances governing them. This topic was intended for further exploration in a workshop setting, but it was not addressed in detail during the meeting.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the progress of the development project and the need for potential discussions on residential property regulations in the county. The Planning Commission will continue to review these matters in future sessions.
