Extension of Public Roads in an Agricultural District

Section 19.1-203 of the zoning ordinance provides that the creation or extension of a public road into an Agricultural (A) zoning district is prohibited. This amendment would allow for the creation or extension of a public road should it be approved by the Board of Supervisors as a conditional use or as part of a zoning application.

Roseland Zoning Overlay District

Roseland is located in the northwestern portion of the county, southwest of Midlothian Village, and adjacent to the communities of Hallsley, Charter Colony and CenterPointe as shown on the map below. The property is within both the Clover Hill (east of Otterdale Road) and Midlothian (west of Otterdale Road) Magisterial Districts.

Roseland is an approximately 1,400-acre property that was rezoned in 2008. The development was envisioned to be a large-scale master-planned community containing a mix of uses, an assortment of different lot and dwelling unit types, major roadway improvements, a new elementary school, utility infrastructure and substantial greenspace to include a linear park system along Tomahawk Creek.

Due to the economic downturn at the time, much of the 1,400-acre property was sold off to different owners and has sat idle since 2008.

In 2020, the county embarked on a plan to reorganize the proposed Roseland project. In collaboration with the property owners, the county began to work on a zoning overlay district with the intent of retaining many of the high-quality design standards and infrastructure needs from the 2008 rezoning case while modernizing many aspects the project to meet current and future needs. Upon adoption, the zoning overlay district would become part of the county’s zoning ordinance. Individual owners within the zoning overlay district would still rezone their properties in accordance with those standards established by the overlay, with the more specific features of particular development proposals being reviewed during the rezoning process.

The proposed Roseland Zoning Overlay District (PDF) was recently presented to the Planning Commission at their Tuesday, July 19 work session and Tuesday, August 16 work session. An in-person community meeting was held on Tuesday, Sept. 13. View the Roseland Community Meeting Display Boards (PDF) and Roseland Community Meeting Handout (PDF). The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022.
