Don't miss the Harrisonburg Planning Commission public hearing meeting on
Wednesday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 409 South Main Street.
As usual, it's not easy to tell what some of the proposals actually mean --- but I have included a summary and explanation of the ones that I can decipher, and I welcome anyone else's insight. Again, the information below is what I can piece together about the proposals from various sources.
Attend the meeting to find out more about the proposals, or to voice your support or concerns.
| RMC Corporation would like a special use permit for a recreation facility to allow recreation and leisure time activities at 1000 South High Street in Harrisonburg. The photo to the file photo in the Harrisonburg Real Estate Information System. |
| Heritage Estates is applying for a special use permit to allow a community building used for "recreational, social, educational and cultural activities." Perhaps they are building a community center?? Heritage Estates, pictured to the left, is located on Garbers Church Road. Heritage Estates is also asking for a proffer amendment --- but the details here are a bit vague.

| Muhlenberg Lutheran Church is requesting a rezoning of 1.63 acres (on East Market Street) from B-2 to B-1C. This would allow them to move forward with a $2.2 million addition of a "gathering area." The church had originally requested an exception to the B-2 zoning ordinance, but this was denied by the Harrisonburg Board of Zoning Appeals on February 4, 2008.

| Hugo A. Kohl, III would like to rezone a rather small (3,000 +/- square foot) lot at 311 South Federal Street from B-2 to B-1C. Anyone have information on this one?

| Campus View Condominiums is requesting a rezoning of around 14 acres from R-3 to R-5C. This change would allow for higher density development. Additionally, Campus View Condos is requesting a special use permit to allow for multi-family dwellings with more than 12 units per building.
