Last week the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors approved three rezoning requests from Great Eastern Resort Corporation that provides a roadmap for expanded development of Massanutten Resort over the next 15 to 20 years.  As far as I can tell from reading through the rezoning request, this will amount to approximately 1,880 new residential units.  

Read on for an overview of the three rezoning requests.

Rezoning #1

A total of 224.6 acres is now zoned R-4 (Planned Resort District) including the existing 67.3 acres of the Massanutten Station Master Plan, plus 80.1 acres of the Water Park Master Plan, along with 80 acres that were zoned A-2.

This rezoning will allow for 1,255 residential units of various types including single family detached, duplexes, rowhouses and apartments.  Of the 1,255 residential units, 250 will be timeshare units, 250 will be hotel/apartment units, 230 will be age-restricted and 100 will be hotel units.

Rezoning #2

A total of 429.5 acres in the Woodstone Meadows Master Plan was zoned R-5 and is still zoned R-5 but the master plan has been updated.  This 429.5 acre master plan includes 1,700 timeshares.

Rezoning #3

A total of 197.3 acres is now zoned R-5 to allow for 625 residential units with a mix of single-family detached, duplexes, rowhouses and apartments, all of which will be age-restricted to full-time residents who are 55 years old or older.
