The Culpeper County Planning Commission convened on December 11, 2024, to discuss several key agenda items, including a significant rezoning request.

The meeting began with the presentation of case Z46424Dash1, submitted by Marvin and Vicki Jenkins. The request seeks to rezone 10.64 acres from A-1 agricultural to LI light industrial. The applicants plan to utilize the property and an existing structure for a limited range of light industrial and commercial activities, as outlined in a statement submitted on November 14, 2024. The property is situated off Hubbard's Road, Route F-715, within the Stevensburg Magisterial District, and is identified on tax maps 34, 7DB and 35, Partial 3.

During the discussion, it was noted that the property consists of two parcels, with one parcel containing an existing structure that will continue to serve primarily residential purposes, alongside some additional uses. The area is characterized by its proximity to Route 1529, a four-lane highway, which plays a significant role in the accessibility and potential development of the site.

The commission members engaged in a thorough examination of the proposal, considering the implications of the rezoning on the surrounding community and land use. Further discussions are expected as the commission evaluates the request in the context of local planning objectives and community needs.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue reviewing the proposal, ensuring that all aspects are considered before a decision is made. The next steps will involve further deliberation and potential follow-up actions regarding the Jenkins' rezoning request.
