The Suffolk Planning Commission meeting on June 17, 2025, highlighted significant developments in local zoning and land use, with key decisions impacting future residential projects.

A notable topic was the rezoning request for Holland Glen (RZN202410), which has been deferred again, delaying its discussion at the upcoming city council meeting. In contrast, the commission approved a rezoning request for car dealerships on Lynn Drive (RZN202412), with amended proffers, signaling progress in commercial development.

The meeting also addressed a conditional use permit for an adult day support facility on North Main Street (CUP20240023), which will be presented at the city council meeting. Additionally, an ordinance text amendment (OTA 202407) was discussed, aimed at aligning the Unified Development Ordinance with recent changes to the comprehensive plan.

Two preliminary subdivision plats were approved for informational purposes. The first, Tillman Run (20240001), will feature 204 single-family residential lots, with a mix of conventional and cluster subdivisions, providing over 35 acres of open space. The second, Art Ray at Milestone (20250001), proposes 147 detached homes in a cluster subdivision, adhering to zoning density requirements while addressing critical wetland areas.

These discussions reflect ongoing efforts to balance residential growth with environmental considerations in Suffolk, setting the stage for future developments in the city.
